top story LS coming out of the preseason finale only a few not five the five situation is something else we'll talk about that a little bit later Cowboys Nation plus we all know about the Don Bland injury so we have to investigate navigate around that and explore the Fallout of what will be bomb squad what's good with you bom Squad man it it was was a very interesting weekend a very wild finish to this Cowboys preseason it started off like I said with the bad news with Don Bland and then an unbelievable game I mean I don't know that I've ever seen a preseason game like that for one particular player so put a pin in that we'll talk about it uh as we move through here I got I got three story lines that I really want to get to today and then I want to hear from you guys 351 999 3787 let me go ahead tease this right now so that you know when I'm talking to you we aren't kind of repeating ourselves here tomorrow we will be doing a full uh roster prediction 53 man roster prediction me and uh uh I going said foots me and vot so make sure y'all check hit that like button hit that subscribe button hit that Bell notification and check us out in the morning we're going to go through the entire team but today I do want to focus on these story lines and whatever else is on your mind but but don't ask me to give you my 53 that's not happening today ladies and gentlemen tomorrow though tomorrow so let's jump right into it man because there's a lot I want to talk about or at least I want to focus on these things that we're going to talk about today but first up and foremost we got some bad news in the Roundup time it's time it's time it's time time it's time it's time it is time for it's time for the morning roundup round them up boys let me talk to you man I'm chilling on the couch getting ready to watch the game me and Enzo just kicking it and I get the notification I get the breaking news Don Bland out 6 to8 weeks to repair a foot stretch factor from rure I'm not going to lie to you that that that that pissed me off that that I did not like that and I know a lot of people try to dance around the significance of the injury like right away like look man it's okay to come out be like man this sucks this is this is awful you know what I mean it sucks I'm not going to sit here and pretend that replacing an allpro with a rookie or somebody off the street is just going to solve the Cowboys problems no however once that frustration wears off and you kind of settle back down into reality here's the reality if Don Bland comes back on the shorter side of this he could be back for the Steelers game October 6th if he comes back on the longer end of this eight weeks it could linger into the buy and if if if it's me I think I'm going to air on the side of caution I would probably just keep him out through the bye the Cowboys have a bye week seven which means he would return against the San Francisco 49ers now if your season seems to be on the brink and you feel the need to have him out there then then sure but uh I feel like the Cowboys will be still in competition around their bye plus there's going to be about 10 or so games left after the B week and you're going to need your best players to be healthy and ready to go so absolutely terrible news for Don Bland to miss likely a month or so of the season um then you turn the page to okay what do we do now and immediately everyone's looking at the free agents we talked about this a while ago before donon Bland even got hurt Cowboys Nation we talked about the possibilities of something like this happening right and we listed the veteran quarterbacks on the market and there was a Kell wither spoons Xavier xaven Howard Gilly was still available at the time uh Dory Jackson we listed all those guys this was a long time ago and you guys understand where I've been on this on this topic for a while I would have liked to have some type of Veteran Insurance in case something happens now what ended up happening is kayln Carson ended up having a great preseason right great training camp he looks like he's ready to go out there and that's that's fine that's cool but I do think C circumstances have changed if this injury happens during the season one thing this injury is happening prior to the season so now you're starting off the season with your depth taking a hit so let's take a look at the cornerback room right now without dur Bland this is what I think your starting quarterbacks are going to be Trayvon Diggs kayln Carson Jordan Lewis that's pretty much a given Carson didn't dress for this final game Jerry which I I truly don't understand why they put a microphone in front of Jerry Jones after the final preseason I don't get it but Jerry came out and said yeah we're not doing anything else we're not bringing anybody else in we're not sign and look maybe they're just like whatever Jerry can talk but we're actually behind the scenes looking to add somebody so those are your top three guys behind them I think Israel Mamu has to be a lock now you know granted he probably was going to get in over and Eric Scott anyway uh maybe even aan Hall who did not dress yesterday in the preseason finale because he was dealing with an injury so again my guess your top four Diggs Carson Lewis Mamu and then it gets it gets tricky here I personally would put keman Hall on the roster I think he he can be your slot backup definitely because you don't have Don Bland now interestingly enough Israel Mamu has play most of his snaps in the slot but I promise you I'm not going to fake the funk I'm I'm not comfortable with Izzy in the slot against true slot route type of wide receiver is not comfortable with that uh I much would rather him be on the boundary and deal with those type of receivers with the with the boundary to help him um I don't I don't 6'4 he's he's too long to deal with those quick twitch two-way go types that's just my opinion so but he played a bunch of slot this preseason Andrew Booth I I'm not I'm just not I'm not feeling this guy I understand he's physical he can tackle but he can't cover I said this to you guys I said this to you guys many times if my cornerback Is Not Great of that great of a tackler but he can cover really well I live with that but if my quarterback in tackle but he can't cover for nothing then no that that's just like everybody saying oh well you know what this is the best this is the greatest run this is the greatest pass blocking running back yeah but can he run that's what he's you know that's his that's his main job job his main responsibility to run his main responsibility is to cover Andrew Bruth cannot cover anything past 15 yards 10 15 yards he gets worked um you could argue maybe the short stuff because he's aggressive cool but the problem is you you just lost a guy in Don Bland so can you afford to go short at cornerback I me personally what I would do what sky would do Diggs Carson Lewis Mamu Hall and I'm signing a guy well Scott that's six corners I feel like you have to go a little deeper there if you want to consider that deep that would me Eric Scott and Josh butler off the team and and and that's what I would do Cowboys Nation I I feel like they should allow will mlay to work the lines and see if he can come up with a either a cheap trade or be uh a cheap veteran free agent out there does that mean I'm not confident in a kayin Carson no not at all I think I told you guys this from the rip I think kin Carson fits this scheme like a like a glove and he's one out there and he's shown that right but you do have to plan you have to have a contingency plan they they didn't necessarily have one coming in because they like their room and I heard a lot of people some people said this is the deepest room I I don't agree with that I don't think the quarterback room was ever the deepest room um on the team I feel like safety was deeper in my opinion you could argue the offensive line started to show some some things there uh but you really had Diggs Jay L Bland and you love what you saw from Carson But after those threes it's rookies and guys that need to kind of prove themselves um and and that's fine you're not going to have five six quarterbacks that you can roll out there and start I totally get that but now you're seeing that depth is going to be tested immediately which is why personally I would go out and add a veteran into this room I'm trying to win this year I'm not trying to see if if if Eric Scott and a failed second round pick Andrew Bruth can can make it work you want to keep Israel that's fine I think Israel has been super competitive this preseason I think he's played his way on this roster like he's earned it you know he's earned the right to go out there and and take advantage of his opportunity or fail he's earned that right but that does not mean that I'm comfortable uh with this this group for eight weeks just's keep in mind Trayvon Diggs is coming back from the ACL injury I'm just saying you know and y'all know how I feel I think Diggs will be fine in the long run will he be fine those first two three weeks uh four weeks we'll see we'll see but it it it it sucks to lose Don Bland I'm out there looking for somebody to bring in it if they don't then you just put your trust in Mike Zimmer in the scheme and in the pass rush in front of him and etc etc and you could probably get by right you you probably can get by I'm not like completely out that this group can get the job done but I want to plan in case because this this group for what three four five years in a row has lost somebody cons consistently Jordan Lewis Anthony Brown Trayvon Diggs Don Bland do we want to continue to just act like this group doesn't get dinged up to the point that it's a serious injury not me I can't ignore that it's the position equivalent now of Tyron Smith you can ignore that Tyron Smith is going to get hurt every year and you'll be asked out it's a it's the position group equivalent of lve you can ignore that l e is going to get hurt every year and you'll be asked out you can ignore that this group gets dinged up every single year and you're sitting here week four and you got to roll out Andrew Booth as a starter not I not I but we wish Don Bland a very speedy recovery Cowboys Nation uh again I would probably sit him through the pre through the byee just so that he can come back those last 10 games and and be ready to go I just pray to the football guyses that we can get Don Bland and Trayvon Diggs on the boundary for a full year some point I I pray for it now the best case scenario is you want a kin Carson to have a Don Bland rookie type of season right you want that now Bland had the benefit of a full training camp in about how many weeks five six weeks or so uh of playing and practicing before he got thrown out there with with the Jordan Lewis injury and if I remember correctly when we spoke with him uh behind the scenes he was getting work at slot position where he didn't play a lot because he was doing a lot of boundary work and then they put him in the slot in preparation in case something happened to Jordan Lewis because they didn't have a slot guy if something were to happen to Jordan Lewis right now I'd roll I I'd roll Kean Hall man I'm telling you I'd roll Kean Hall out there but that's just me Cowboys Nation where are you guys at with this cornerback room right now let me get your confidence level 1 to 10 your confidence level as is if this has has to be the room for the first seven games of the Season or or six games I think it's six games if you look at the schedule confidence level sadika Says Z might try to bring in Pat Pete I think a Kell I like a Kell Witherspoon personally did he get signed anywhere if if a Kell Witherspoon did not get signed anywhere um I like his fit here I explained that a while back where I talked about he was he was in a similar scheme where they did a lot of disguising pre and post Snap he played off a lot up a lot he was asked to do a lot of things and he was actually pretty solid as a cover guy uh give us some touchdowns but that's going to happen but I like Kell Withers personally eight that's really high okay seven I about to say I feel like 67 is where it felt like the Cowboys Nation was that oh Hallelujah I I wouldn't go in panic mode N I wouldn't say it's a panic mode situation the panic mode is if somebody gets hurt then we're in panic if if one of your top guys go down now we're in panic mode but I don't think you're in panic mode right now I just I do think your confidence level 100% takes a hit without your All Pro boundary guy that's just real you like the rookie league I like them too you know but I think I'm looking at this thing beyond the surface if that makes sense shouts out to to my guy seven and a half five so it looks like we're anywhere between if we had to round this thing five and a half and seven and A2 lots of sevens if if you had to round it up you're probably now looking more like six and a half Dev said seven if we bring in a veteran if we bring in a yeah if we bring in a veteran 100% that goes up for me I just I just really worry if something happens Jay loses a veteran you know he he tends to get dinged up sometimes Diggs is recovering from the from the ACL so I hope they they at least look at some of these free agents look at potential trade that's all I ask for if they don't see anything that fits then at least they did their homework and let's roll and hope for the best let's roll hope for the best all right Cowboys Nation let me ask you a question as you guys were watching this preseason finale unfold for Trey Lance because this is this is this is an honest observation for me I don't think I remember a roller coaster of a ride of a preseason game for one individual seriously Trey Lance might have had the most drunk statline I have ever seen screw preseason I mean you could argue I have I think I've ever seen a stat line like this in the regular season 33 for 49 323 yards one touchdown five interceptions and 90 rush yards dog that was that was Madness and the crazy thing about this statline right because a lot of people they just go look at the box score and they'll come away with an opinion but here's the Wild Thing it actually matches up with what you saw like bro it kind of matches with what you saw in the game you go 33 for 49 323 he was making some throws he had some good throws he had a ball the jsj he had the Deep shot to Bernett a nice turkey ho shot to to Tyron Billy Johnson nice little Fade to floro they made some throws go ahead with your bad self there Trey look at the 90 rush yards how that how' he get 90 R he took off for a 50 damn near yard touchdown I mean what he was out there juking people yeah using his legs real quick let me come on back real quick let me stop playing for a quick second real quick stop playing I'm now dead serious I brought this up few weeks ago just he he just playing around I'm serious here Trey Lance probably should convert to some type of tesm Hill seriously man this is actually a compliment to this dude his athleticism his speed the running ability like if you just were imported from planet Mars let's just say you got imported boom you get put in somebody's living room mid playay you see Tre Lance just running you be like God dang that that running back is good you come from Jupiter you you you get put in front of in front of in at the dent in front of Le TV you be like man that's a hell of a wide receiver he can scoop you come from Pluto you get put in front of Sky TV and he drop back and he's throw to the other team Miss reading you be like oh man that we'll see you in the UFL Trey like there's there's just no way there there's no way you can sit here and tell me you're comfortable throwing that man out there to win you a must win game just not happening but if you go out there and you you use him like a TM Hill I don't think he he can just convert to Wide Receiver right now cuz that's a serious conversation in my opinion but a TM Hill R let that man use his legs fake it throw to a wide open D he got one it's one read bro one read if it ain't there take the hell off yeah he can 100% do that for you but if you asking this man go out there survey the defense make the right decision using your FBI football IQ deliver the ball accurately he's not ready for that those five interceptions were some of the worst interceptions I've seen in Pre and mind you this was against vanilla defenses when Jesse men threw a little risle Dazzle at Trey Lance dropping back a defensive end a robber Trey was I mean y'all saw it it's not it's just not ready it's just not ready and I saw there was there was real life conversations about this qb2 thing man there needs to be context y'all know my MTO context matters here's the context you need a backup quarterback to go in there keep things afloat run you know keep your offense going to where you don't have to to change up a lot of what you do from a perimeter base right obviously that's Cooper rush there's no there's no doubt about that doesn't mean Cooper Rush is some amazing quarterback but he can go out there and and operate your passing offense as is now you may need to lean on the Run game a little bit lean on your defense that's for damn short you can't ask uh Cooper rush to win you the game just ask him not to lose it that's that's what we've always said about Cooper Rush but when he has to go out there and try to win it we we know what that looks like but if your season's over and you're not asking for two games three games four games whatever you're like hey man he got to go out there and play for 12 games 10 games 13 games well sure throw Tre lance out there see see what happens and you roll with it because you heard what Jerry said you heard what I said before now I don't like to agree with Jerry too often but if he has to go out there and you have to win a game with Trey you're changing offense man drastically drastically change your offense this is no longer doing the West coach principles and no RPO half field reads one read take off run the ball a whole lot use his legs who cares if he gets hurt running the ball right you don't do it with Dak because you don't want one of the best passes in the National Football League to get hurt Trey Lance gets hurt he gets hurt you thr Cooper rush out there if this is a full season thing me personally I have no confidence and Mike McCarthy just completely changing his offense to Taylor make it to to Trey Lance I I don't it it might even be even more basic and it might work for a series or two maybe even a game but they gonna catch on to that so I will say this though he needed all those reps people got upset that he's throwing a whole bunch what the hell did you want Tre Lance to go out there and do throw the ball 15 times a game you want to see not even just see you need him to go out there and throw the ball and I said this a couple weeks ago hey even if you even if you throw an interception or two whatever just let me know that what I'm looking for is not the end result I'm looking to see if you're dropping back understanding what you're seeing delivering with confidence are your mechanics in or things like that well damn I hey Trey I didn't expect you to throw five picks three in a row could have been easily seven I didn't expect that but he needs to go out there and he needs to fail in that manner so he can learn but but here's the problem and then I end it on this and I'll get a car or too with people that oh just be patient and oh it's okay patience patient what what do you think who do you think we are Cowboys is what I'm talking about you think we the Giants you think we the Washington football people you think we the Colts think we the Panthers patience do you know how much patience you're going to have to have for a Trey lanon I said it before I say it again he has to go to a bad team and play for a couple Zack Wilson type situation he's going to have to play for two three years or whatever and just and get it out of his system with a bad team that can be patient with him they're real life people out here that want to roll this man out in a in a situation where you can hate what they did in offseason all you want the Cowboys are a competitive NFC team 100% this is a team that can go compete in the playoffs and we'll see what happens when they get I think they'll get there when they get there this isn't a rebuilding team looking to try to get the top two pick top three pick or whatever now if that's what you want to do after after next year if Dak is not brought back sure roll him out there for 15 20 million a year I digress Cowboys Nation I digress the problem is we've reached any but shouts out to V anyone but Dak Prescott for those people for that particular group this is what anything looks like you don't want to roll anything out there it looks like this all right y'all ready for a toxic tape I saw toxic Tom was in in the chat saying oh I got some things to say today good morning toxic Tom good morning Sky just want to say hope you're doing well one thing I always appre about you and your show is you don't you want smoke you're not about the [ __ ] and this is what this call is all about today if you in the chat or anyone else thought Trey Lance was anything and better or better than even Cooper Rush either you're inbred or you're a Jones disciple there's no in between either way you don't know ball so they're probably all wearing their Zeke jerseys today but Jo Trey Lance is the definition of what is wrong with this franchise because as soon as he goes out there and he lays a dud I mean a dud of if Dak Prescott had thrown five interceptions in a charity football game some of those fans would have been saying he's not he's not anything Lance was playing just like in the movie 300 he was up against the defense when King L unitis goes what's your profession he was playing against Potters he was playing against blacksmiths he was not playing against NFL caliber defenses and what happened to him he looked like [ __ ] and it's a year four quarterback this is not a rookie quarterback that was just taken this is four years there have been guys who have been drafted lower than him higher than him that got less time to produce in the NFL he has not done it so don't sell me that patient [ __ ] but then for your owner to come out and then say he made the roster you can't cannot be preaching accountability and toughness while gifting that kid a roster spot there's no way you are already showing that this is the Country Club Dallas Cowboys because you're keeping guys like him dead weight on the roster you brought him on because you wanted to somehow get leverage over Dak Prescott if anything once again you made it worse just pay the guy and now instead of doing what San Francisco did where they got rid of it we're going to continue to do the sunk cost fallacy and hold gone to a garbage football player because our owner is too prideful to admit he was again wrong and doesn't know what he's doing just watching that game after hearing about the donon Bland issue and now we we should have signed a veteran quarterback it was just a front display of how how this front office is playing checkers when the rest of the league is playing 3D chests we are a dollar late we are always short and we are always just trying to tr red water to be relevant and you said it best kayin Carson could be great I don't want rookies to get me over the hump I want to [ __ ] win it's been 30 years enough of the future now it's time it's now and you're telling me that we might let Dak Prescott leave in free agency because we don't want to pay him so this is really the last chance we have before going into again quarterback Purgatory which a lot of these chat people probably too young to remember all those non-playable characters we had playing for us a quarterback Chad Hutchinson Ryan Lee Tony Banks I don't want to go back to that so you're telling me that this is the answer Lord I know I just went on a tie rate but my God man I want to win Sky I hate losing more I hate losing more than I enjoy it go ahead no question for for everyone out there if if the last name wasn't Lance if your owner didn't give up the fourth round pick is this man on on any roster I don't no hell no the only reason why people care about him is because again Sun cost FY he was taken number three overall that's what people hold on to I just don't understand May I'm being harsh maybe maybe I shouldn't say roster CU he could easily be on somebody's practice squad right but is is is he anybody starter let alone backup you know like that I know people were key keing about the Raiders game but one game later look look how that play it out you know but this is a quote from Jerry John this is why he's on his team Jerry said the way we're structure gets a lot of criticism unquestionably it does this was way back when they asked him about the TR Lance trade he said but let's just do a trade like we did uh with TR Lance because I didn't have to fool around I can make that trade in five minutes and the reason I can is I have all the information had it from when they drafted him I had the information right at my fingertips of what we thought of his play in the last couple of years I knew what we thought of him I didn't have to sit with anybody about the type of player he is so I was able to make the call I don't have to talk to anybody about that if you don't see that as an issue I can't help you even if this thing worked out wonderfully that is a problem with the structure of this organization and that's why I always say we have to overcome it and you can say oh well Scott it's just a it's just a fourth round pick it's just a a quarterback three no no harm no foul and well brayon Allen sure would look nice Jaylen Wright sure would look nice Trey Benson well he was second round pick I think a third round but it would have been nice to have somebody that could have helped you now as opposed to a quarterback three how the hell does a quarterback three help you right now doesn't I look at Trey Lance and I don't even see a top 64 quarterback in the National Football League right now and that to me and you just got how many snaps and how much you had so much time all last year sure to fix your footwork fix the the nuances of being a quarterback and then this year you're getting live actual time to play against teams it's just not there will credit R Will Greer last year his last game put on a spectacular game he got shipped out of town Trey Lance puts on that [ __ ] show and he gets what a guaranteed roster spot oh if his last name was was Greer he wouldn't be on the team and and that's and this is where I I hate to beat the dead horse on this but you just can't overcome that level of incompetence where you would rather lose than give credit to someone else and actually win and that is just it is so infuriating that we already knew he was going to make a roster spot regardless of how he performed and I just don't know how you can be how do you how do you feel if you're Julius Woods right now you've been balling your ass off and you might not make the roster because we need to carry a third quarterback because the owner loves Trey Lance I just that it's that that part of let me let me let me let me let me answer this real quick because I keep seeing this Dan man shouts out to you I may maybe you're not speaking with me maybe you're talking to the fans that that talk call him ass and everything like that like I'm I'm beyond that um maybe you you find it disrespectful to say he's a quarterback three that's just the facts but Dan said I think y'all being har he's only 23 he's he hasn't played a ton he showed some flashes but he needs consistency Dan that's that's all true he he definitely shown some flashes he definitely needs consistency but what you're leaving out there is he's got a lot of work to do and and the conversation I'm having is not about another team it's about this team the Cowboys don't have that time the Cowboys can't roll Tre lance out there and be and try to be a a competitive NFL playoff team it's not that's not it's not happening so if you want to have patience and take time what time he's not he's not under contract he is a free agent next year so now you go in a free agency and if he somehow has suitors you competing for Trey Lance guys stop it like stop and I'm not saying this is you Dan but for those who don't like the quarterback there are other options you don't you don't have to dig so damn deep because you see a guy that can run around and use his legs real well and throws the ball really hard there are other options out there so yeah he needs he needs to be he needs some time and all the stff but the Cowboys don't have time and if you think Jerry Jones got time you out your mind and the last point I'll make on this guy is and on a positive note I will say this I think du span he's surprised me this year the last two games he's played he's looked a lot better I just hope that they use him more consistently now he's a guy that I haven't been just wanting to anoint on the roster spot I think dubon in my opinion has done enough so I owe him an apology because I wanted to say I've been dogging on his 5 foot five ass for a long time I think he's done enough and I hope that they use him in this offense wanted to not on a positive note anything to get pregnant Zeke off this roster y all have a good day my man that's a perfect segue um once we get once we get through there but let me let me stay on this real quick cuz I don't want to jump around Special K said um Rush ain't a is ain't a reliable backup either it's daker bus Special K I would love for you to call in here because I am no rush fan but I'm going to use your words against you reliable I hate to be that guy but he kind of been reliable as a backup I'm not saying this dude is great or anything like that but he's kind of been like you can't deny his reliability for you when his number has been called to just not lose the game now if you go out there and ask him to win the game he's lost the game for you now if you're going if you're trying to win the Super Bowl with any of these guys no it's a wrap but again context matters if you need to win a game or two or three just to stay afloat you roll Cooper rush out there if you need 10 10 11 12 games season's over you roll Trey lance out there but if you think he ain't reliable the hell do you call this guy what's worse what's worse than not reliable find me that word so that that's that's that's my whole thing and let's not make this a lance versus Rush thing cuz they both are two separate players Cooper Rush is is easily the better total quarterback Tre Lance is easily the better Talent where he can run and throw hard and and make some of those tight throws because because he can can gun it in there like they're two totally different quarterbacks that you're going to ask to do two totally different things but let's also Focus here let's focus the the conversation to me never was about rushan lands and that there's real life fans that want to cement this man as your QB of the future how sway how know what I'll take one more then we'll get to to to the running back situation uh bber good morning sir how you doing this morning scy I'm doing fantastic hey there's also a real live owner that wants Trey Lance to be a starter in in Dallas too so well we we we know the issues with that guy yeah so you know after Tre Lance was acquired last year you know me and you had a little heated debate about it and uh and it's still not you know clear but it was it was my um in my mind that Jerry got him just like toxic said as a leverage uh for Dak I think he got into his emotions how negotiations were going and uh they wern't going the way he was and he was still kind of mad about the last time with the no trade contract and uh uh Claws and all that kind of stuff and so he said well I'm GNA go get me some leverage and people say might say well no it that that's not it well why would he bypass everybody in the organization to go get this guy that was an emotional decision that that may be true but that's laughable though that's that's why I laughed at it like all right Jerry you're the only one in your head that believe Tre Lance is leverag dog like how you watch this guy and believe he's any type of Leverage the only leverage you can say about Trey Lance prior to him coming to Dallas was his age his age and draft status his play there's nothing to leverage with his play he didn't he was not good he's not shown anything to leverage against Dak in fact you just let dak's price go way up because of the play of Trey Lance but but I digress AB well well let me tell you this that's why he got so many uh pass attempts this uh preas because yeah Jer Jerry wanted him to shine man he wanted him to you know hey you know have eight touchdowns maybe one or two interceptions and and just show promise so then next offseason he can move on I think that they haven't signed back yet either so I just think that that was part of it and I I never had a problem with trade I mean I'd push back a little bit on that I I think I think this was McCarthy's plan as well like you know what you got in in Cooper Rush Trey Lance hasn't played enough he needed to play this whole preseason just just for the development of tre Lance even if he doesn't have eight touchdowns and two picks even if he had the preseason he had he actually needed this because guess what even if he had eight touchdowns and two picks go look at Jerry quote after the game go look at it you would think he had eight touchdowns and two picks yeah so it doesn't matter if he had zero touchdowns and 10 picks Jerry was gonna buff him up that's right so he he has his thumb on a scale for him let me ask you a question Dan just just from your so what do you think Jerry's motivation was behind getting him I mean just your uh just what you think since we've been here for a year so far and it's kind of his head if if that was if that was it was Jerry's decision nobody else's decision so yeah sure maybe Jerry was trying to use it as leverage but I I look at it and laugh and look at it as that's the issue with this with this team you traded a fourth round pick for a quarterback three to out of what because of your feelings get the hell out if you if you truly thought that Tre Lance was going to be the quarterback of the future um and and then why did you not sign him to a contract extension why didn't you pick up the fifth year option because they want that Prescott back here they just want him they want him back here on their their terms and dak's not going to fall for that he's not going to come back on their terms they really do want Dak they just don't want it on the same terms they had before and if they don't come to that decision in the next week and a half well he's hitting free agency and and we could be looking at a totally different situation moving forward so so we just opposed will gre's last game versus Trey's last game will Grill's last game last year and you know we almost look at it's almost laughable uh the game will gr had and the game that uh Trey had is Polar Opposites and one guy gets cut automatically and the other guy gets kept automatically it's kind of crazy man um one of the things I would say get analogy right quick um you know if you got a brand new Mercedes-Benz you Ure that thing man I mean all the way up to the Tilt just in case something happen you can replace it but if you got a $2,000 car that you're going back and forth to work in you know it's $2,000 I Ain going to put too much insurance on it it's not worth it when you have a 12 and5 season man and you have the play players we have in in play you ensure that team and what I mean by that is you had Gilmore and I thought Gilmore played well out last year and I think that he he basically turned into an insurance last year but when Diggs went out now you had Bland and you had him right good on the corners so I think when you have a 12 and five team as a GM you go on your mindset and say okay what can we do just in case something happen well one thing already happened you had di coming off of ACL and we know how our players been coming off ACL it's nothing wrong with them it just takes a little while right and so suppose you have uh Gilly and then you had Bland this before Bland injury you say hey man look we ain't bringing trade back till week three man we gonna give him a little bit more time but now that you don't have that now you you know what I'm saying or yeah or even if not ready you got deal more to throw in but I also thought and I said this earlier I said you bringing back as as uh insurance against dig not being 100% or if another cornerback gets hurt well where are we now we're at cornerback getting hurt and so what you want to do if GM you want to ensure your with veterans right you want to ensure your roster I think the Cowboys did a bad job of ensuring this roster because I looked at what Gilly signed for is pretty much what he had last year and I think you could have got gotten back he did nothing I thought I thought he played well all last year he got hurt that last game and didn't in the playoffs he didn't play up but he know it yeah Gilly was yeah Gilly was solid for you last year for sure he was solid man especially against Seattle man where we had to uh swap Bland out and all that kind of stuff uh and put him on uh DK and so what I'm saying is man I think the Joneses have done you know I always tell you they got they got time arrogance man and that's because they can't get fired I know people might get tired of me saying that that's what it is because they can just take their time on defensive tackle that's what they did they say hey we'll go to camp and we'll just see other GMS don't have time man they gotta go get it and so but the Jones has got time that that's why these contracts are still out there because they got time man they they're going to be here so anyway I just wanted to just call and just discuss that with you man I just thought they should have ensured this thisam team a little bit better it's 12 and5 we're ready to move to the next step at that point in time you go get veterans just in case something happens and you can plug somebody in man I'm going to get off and I'm I'mma continue to list man all right appreciate you uh B bird all right brother yeah we we've established this is a reactionary organization as opposed to uh proactive right we've established that and and it goes back a long long time but 2022 you knew you need a receiver quarterback help you did not do it during the season in a season where you very well could have gotten to the NFC championship game with a little bit more Talent um didn't happen they go into the offseason they get the receiver and quarterback help and we're like Yay but we forget they're just actually catching up right and and you can argue the same thing here going into this season you knew you need a defensive tackle running back you ask me uh help and I personally think maybe one more corner but they didn't do it and here we go find out your defensive tackle situation not that great and to their credit they go out and they ask veterans you get injuries on the D line defense end personally I thought they should have add another guy but they went out and got Carl Lawson let's see hope that works out and here we are uh with the quarterback situation now now Gilly did get paid something like 8 million guaranteed or what have you but again it it it all depends how you look at the situation is 8 million a lot maybe the Su is 8 million a lot for a competing team I I would look at it as no but it didn't have to be Gilly it could have been somebody else you know it could have been another guy who's been proven I keep thr out the word the name a Kell wither spoon I would have been very happy with that decision um but it looks like they're going to roll out probably digs kayin jayou Mamu as the four and we'll see what they do with I truly hope it's not Andrew I mean I'm just not feeling this Andrew boo guy but Andrew Boo and Kean Hall we'll see we'll see now we were talking about the running back situation well at least toxic was and he gave some credit to dece vaugh there's been a lot of conversation about this room in the number I brought this up on Twitter because I kept seeing it in our chat a few times I've been seeing it on Twitter and I'm sitting here and I was like hey is this is this real do people really truly believe the Cowboys should carry five running backs I that that just took me by storm I'm sitting here thinking what team carries five running backs on their roster that's not a running team you know so I said to somebody on Twitter if you are truly carrying five running backs one of two things have happened maybe even both one you don't have a running back or two you trust you don't if you got to carry five backs you don't trust a couple of those backs you don't trust not one or two you really need two backs in this league you probably don't have two backs you trust or you're about to be the most running team in the National Football League by a mile right like if you're going to carry five backs fam you're about to be number one in rushing attempts and it's not about to be close you're about to take this thing back to 1992 but the reality is on this particular team with this coach and this makeup of offense that's not happening so why would you carry five backs please don't come in here and talk about special teams don't come in here talk about no damn special teams cuz I'm not buying none of that if you cannot find a way to get this man involved on offense then you just aren't good at your job you just aren't Duce vaugh has shown so much approve and you could you could argue if if you say Duce improved from his regular season yes sure but we talked about this when we showed the tape Duce vaugh wasn't given a bunch of blocking during the regular season he was getting thrown in there and blowouts with backups when teams knew you had to run the ball to run the clock out well sky is just preseason again screw the stats if you want to keep it a bean if you if you're not impressed with the stats fine go watch the How duce Vaughn is finding the creases he's making guys miss at the line of scrimmage he's he's getting big runs he's also getting first down runs and when you look at the room zek and Rico on his team I know the question becomes oh well cut zek Elliot let's live in reality ain't happening okay so Zeke en Rico's on this team Hunter lipy on this team as much as I like Royce Freeman I can't feasibly justify keeping Royce Freeman over Duce vaugh if you're truly trying to complete a running back by committee backfield well Sky special teams I don't find a linebacker find a safety find a wide receiver Duce vaugh should be a part of your rotation don't lie to me then if you start off Camp saying well this is going to be a running back by committe committee approach is technically three guys and if you say well the three guys are going to be Zeke Rico and Hunter then you keep Zeke Rico and Hunter and you go along elsewhere then damn it don't play around if you're not if you're just gonna if you're just going to have three running backs and Hunter lipkey and that third running back is going to be inactive every single week man you just put a guy on a practice squad use that position that slot for a guy who's going to play I forget who I was talking to on Twitter it was like well oh was Aon shouts out to my guy he said well couldn't you justify Deuce being on this team because of special teams I said nah you can justify Duce being on his team because he's should have a role on offense I haven't seen Duce do anything special teams wide to be like man he got to be on a special team I ain't seen him have no Big R return and touchdown and all that but I've seen him give you something you don't currently have in the back field he's not going to bust out 8r T he doesn't have that type of long speed but he had he's he's agile he's he has that twitch he may again he may not be the Tony par super big play but he's going to be your guy that gets you probably the most 15 yard gains 20 yard gains he compliments the back field and I say this again I like Roy I truly do when they signed him I didn't see the need to bring in another guy that was just like him but they did and he ain't going nowhere but Duce vaugh because you didn't grab that type of guy in in the draft is the the juice that you have on your of the guys that you're working with of this group he's the juice if Malik Davis makes this team overd Deuce vaugh what are we doing if the Cowboys carry five running backs what the hell are we doing now like I I usually I love to do this because this is just my opinions but I'm sure there are people in the chat and and and maybe on the phone who believe the Cowboys should carry five I would love to hear the reasonings because that will get me to think a little bit more but Duce has if Duce is not on his team then you have to be looking outside of the facility for a guy to provide that type of compliment to your room that just that has to be the case man all right let's keep it moving here Marco from Charlotte good morning sir what's up brother how you doing Scott um I'm doing good man man bless blessed hey I was calling I was listening to your boy talk to Tom his uh take and he sound like uh law nation's jump shot when I was watching the it was trash like law nation's jump shot but uh I was want to say I didn't think yeah you saw it too but yeah yeah you saw it I'm just because you're a basketball player you saw it and I was like I didn't know where you're going with that so you're saying you're saying law nation's jump shot is trash yeah oh if you didn't see it I I don't want to never see it again in my life that but I'm this is my this is what I'm referring it to like sometime you you listen to Sports by like you listen to somebody tell you about sports they don't even play sports they not athletes period they can't tell you about sports they just watch football and give us a comment about it but I saw the I saw the game and then I went back and watch it in the cence what's the name on uh the suay ticket and I feel like my boy didn't play bad he uh he was under pressure Josh ball couldn't block nobody I mean I mean leco whatever his name it might have been ball whoever is on the right T right tackle he could block nobody at there's no way you watch that game and say that that that man I didn't say he was great though Scott I'm not saying he was great like he's not here to take that Prescott and you know I'm a I'm the hardest critic on Dak Prescott um he not here to take Dak Prescott's uh spot oh I think he better than coopa rush I think he better than Rush easily I like Rush he might be but I still don't know yet let me tell you why Marco go ahead go ahead brother I don't have real evidence all I got is preseason and and and camp that and and I think he's more talented and I really thought he was going to run away with the quarterback to y'all remember me I was I said he was going to win quarterback to I don't know that that's been the case so he may be more talented but when when it's time to strap up and go out there and win meaningful games we ain't got the evidence yet so we're just we're just guessing Scott I think coopar Rush has put us in a false sense of reality like uh is really delusional because if I put Cooper rush out there with Toler Smith my best player CD lamb I think he can look decent H Billy that number 14 whoever he is my man let the dude take the ball from him like Debo him like give me the rock bro I thought that should have been a catch or knock it down no you should have threw it away why why why are you throwing it to 14 and you're throwing it high if you going to throw it to him you put it on his chest but you got to throw that ball away you threw it high and you allow the defender to have a chance at the ball if you put it you know on his chest or away from the defender then he doesn't have a shot for that all five of his picks were terrible picks man yeah that was terrible hey but Scot we got to say we got a 23y old kid we saw what Cooper us can give us he can he can win some games but I'm not g i mean he not gonna beat the Eagles win the game when it matters you're not gonna beat them that's look man I'm not y'all not about to turn me into no damn Cooper Rush TR I'm not about to be a super Cooper Trooper we ain't doing that but listen to what you just said Marco and I'm going to I'm going to quote you he can win some games ain't that what it's about Marco Okay Scott can I re can I respond to that I don't even want to I think coopar Rush can win them same games with those same players out there you mean Trey so you said you said he can't beat the Eagles he he she got he got his ass who by The Eagles but somehow some way he beat the Bengals uh he beat the Rams like he beat some de they beat some decent te I say they I ain't going to say him he Ain Ain do it like he ain't go out there and win it he didn't lose it let me say that Bargo he went out there and didn't lose against them dudes okay y'all not about to turn me no super Cooper Trooper hey Scott I don't want to see neither one of them tell you truth I don't want to see that damn to be honest with you but hey hey Scott I was laughing at uh I've been hearing a lot of dudes talk sports that you know I just don't feel like they athlet so they just talking from what they like you ain't never put this work in you don't know what it's like to be an athlete you just talking about how how Zeke has a fat what is that got to do with that pregn crazy I don't care about saying Zeke yeah yeah yeah yeah like the the fact that these players are obviously in this position means they're they're the 1% of the world don't doubt about it hey Scot I was watching my boy L jump shot and I was like dang and then he tell me how he played DB I was like something ain't adding up like the mess ain't messing you know hey Mark I got a holl at law I Ain know I seen I ain't never seen jaw law jump shot so I I got to talk to L you don't want to I just and I Ain ha no I it's dope but I'm just telling people it's kind of I'm kind of not I can't believe you when you say I did this and I saw I see you shoot the basketball I say oh no no that's not it you know but Scott appreciate you brother I'm listen to the rest of the show what a fascinating situation man like this is what this is what I love about we we like we are we have an internal battle between qb3 and qb2 and qb3 has like 113 passes or whatever is in his lifetime in the NFL with no physical evidence in the regular game consistently at least yeah like three games that he's like what these people are saying when qb2 has physically went out there and at least not lost your five games now you could argue the Vikings and the Bengals or whatever but I know them other games the dude just didn't do much nothing just don't lose the game just don't lose the game and he didn't but it's that's what's fascinating because in reality Trey has more Talent spin that thing harder you know he can run what are y'all watching that you got confidence up here please enlighten me man come on come on man now if you tell me you got confidence that McCarthy going to change the whole offense then maybe I I I could I could I can get on get on your side here if he can if he has the ability to change the entire the entirety of this offense all right boy oh boy get ready for one read takeoffs read options Wildcat whatever ever you want to call it and you better hope like hell that works enough for you to to reach the NFC championship game or Super Bowl I have my doubts hey LW he talking about your jump shot bro is law in here L what my man talking about bro that's crazy I I didn't know where Marco was going with that but I think that was a dig at toxic Dan you ain't got explain to me I'm not no super Cooper Trooper okay the defense was 100% the reasoning for for these dubs that's why I say he ain't lose them don't have to explain to me that's why I said I hate y'all making me sound like a super Cooper Trooper I'm not I don't like either one of these dudes as a backup now I'm just talking about for my team to win and have confidence that this XYZ is going to happen I I don't think either of them are particularly that good let me just get that out there but if you're asking me here's what context if you're and and please tell me you understand what I'm saying Dan if you're asking me to go out there I need two games maybe three games where I keep this offense in in you know above water and flow of what we do from a perimeter standpoint from a passing game standpoint I just got to lean more on my run game and the defense yeah two three games it's it's clearly Cooper rush but if I need 10 11 games the season over Dak Prescott got hurt hey you roll out Trey L it's that simple to me man what the hell y'all watching to think Trey Lance like that cowboy Mike good morning man what's up brother all not much man I had to call you today I was like man I got to call with still I didn't I went ham last week bro on that uh Deuce La thing yeah dece dece need to be a part of this damn offense man yeah he do man but I'mma uh I'm I'mma keep it I'mma keep it on your questions uh man how did we go from I was 100% on the secondary to a C I'm about 70 man because like you said we one injury away now hey hold on hold on real quick Marco LW got $40 he's the most most athletic content creator on YouTube right now he said come to the star tomorrow hey Marco CH challenge is a challeng oh Marco's from Charlotte never mind I'm sorry Marco you can't come down there so whatever whatever jump shot you talking about man law said please man anyway go ahead but yeah man uh I'mma say man we went from like I was like 100% with the secondary now I'm down to like a c like a 70 I don't know because we always H like said corners or secondary corners or secondary uh Corners okay yeah because I I love the I'm cool I'm 100% on the safety yeah I love the safeties bro you know matter of fact hey question do we shop some of these safeties for a corner [Music] uh that's that's an interesting question I I man look man I love them this safety so much if I'm not if I'm not trading a safety for a an impact player I don't want a depth guy I don't want a a quarterback four you know what I'm saying I don't want a r back five like like sure I'll trade one if I'm getting a guy that can come in here and play I say that because we got a guy that Julius Woods does he hey special I got my money on foots 100% got my money on foots go ahead I said uh we got a guy Julius woods man so I mean we we got a bunch of room to play in that in that in that free safety room I like Julius Woods I would I would like to keep him on in this organization it might be hard to get him on the 53 but if you Donovan and keep him n you're probably not gonna if you were going to shop Donovan bro I think you would have shopped him I don't I don't know that you get something done in the next in the next week cuz you're about to start preparing for for the next team right so whoever you bring in got to start so if you were going to do that you would have had to been done that and and I think they could have they they wanted to Camp deep ass safety in my opinion so you know you could shop him sure but again I'm not trading a Donovan Wilson unless I'm getting back an impact starter be because I do not want to move Lewis from the slot we need him in the slot oh no no no he's not going anywhere he's staying in the slot he ain't going nowhere yeah was too big like I feel like his hips are very like you know stiff he don't Direction yeah yeah Kaylin Carson is going to be your guy on the boundary that that's your guy bro like like that's your starter right now until Don Bland comes back now if something were happen to Jay then it gets really weird uh Because unless K yeah unless ke Hall's on this team I don't think you have a reliable slot corner I know everybody's going to want to throw out Izzy I I don't think Izzy is built for the Slot full time Izzy is a matchup slot quarterback he's a guy you put on big slots uh I feel like route running guys will will just route him up because I I don't think he he has the the the hips and the quickness to deal with two-way goals down and down out against like oh no guys that can route you up that's where Jay L comes into and Booth is only good in the phone Boost he can't run that's that's a good one because that's facts like this dude anything past 10 15 yards it's over you remember back in the day your girl hit you up if it's maing hit me on my P it's like I got I need a pay phone I need phone boo that's all he good for yeah man hey appreciate the call Cowboy M let me get a couple more callers bro yes sir y'all have a good day man Cowboy Up we almost there almost there man good good stuff today hey I I got I got law Nation um I'm sorry I got foot the king when it comes to just most athletic I got foot I know I know foots can hoop he like 6'3 he run a 100 miles a day yeah my money's on low my money's on foots I'm sorry uh Izzy a ball I like Izzy who's tripping y'all gota y'all gotta relax man like the people that y'all like if somebody says something critical about them y'all get so defensive I just keep it I like Izzy I like Izzy on the boundary a lot I like Izzy on the roof but safety we don't need him at safety I I'm I'm just telling you what I've seen from is he in the slot big slot cool route running slot he's been worked that's just facts man that's just facts reminding me of this one there's a there's a commenter on here you can go look at the comments man that that think I don't like the white players on this team because I said look if they not going to use Hunter lipkey you know like like uh Kyle use check or get him more involved in three carries in in in a reception then why have on the team well you don't like white players all right man I'm sorry I'm not going to be Skittles and rainbows with every single last thing about this team I'm just telling you what I've seen that's it oh somebody talking about him in in the chat yeah like like there first I think Izzy might have had his best camp for keeping it to be I think he might have had his best Camp I just would like to see him on the boundary that's just my opinion yes law or foots is 6' bro foot's tall as hell let's get a couple numbers I'm not familiar with just to make sure we get some some newer people up here uh 334 good morning man good morning good morning I just got uh just just a couple points on the possible man just two the possible all right yes sir I bro I don't care how short dece bond is bro if they if they let if they let him go out there he is not coming back bro ain't no hi in this man bro if they let him out trying to keep um Davis bro he ain't coming back bro you know I normally am on on the whole oh well everybody says a guy won't make it back but he but but he usually does I'm usually on that train most of the guys usually make it back but I think there's a creative enough coordinator out there that if he does does hit you know the market they'll consider bringing him in man bro what without politics Man Without politics man I want Rico uh Royce and I want dece man I ain't no need for no five running backs on this team no bro with running backs that's that sound crazy to me you like you said that's unsure y unsure about the backs when you had time to get a you know what I'm saying to get a back if yall wanted to like if that sound like unsure bro if you're that unsure about your back field go trade for a running back stop playing he no I I never no it don't even make sense five running back four with Li and that's four back play I just saw I got you L one second let me go go ahead goad you good you good I'm checking something real quick I'm checking something real quick okay yeah Ando oh better leave La alone La got the trophy collection hold on go ahead bro let me pull this up real quick yeah I seen I seen enough with u with Trey with Trey Lance man let's let's get that sign man and then we need if we still not sure about that man let's get let's draft one in the um in the draft this year man right CU I seen enough that that's where I'm at with it brother like if if if if you wna if you want to move on go go about the way in the draft bro go about it in the draft any anything else you're just you're just playing around yeah I BR i' bro i a g lie I've been hard on that myself myself man but come on man that give you the best option to win bro this working and the way um and way that been dialing up on um you know what I'm saying practice man he um um defensive coordinator this guy been showing you know saying you know I'm saying he seeing that bro yeah I think I think you know um it's not working okay cool I was trying to pull this out for y'all Capo but um I think having Mike Zimmer throw different looks at you know Dak and all the quarterbacks really but the receivers as well offensive line that's going to benefit them moving forward because everybody that's been down there um respectable reporters or analysts or what have you have said the same thing that the the way this defense has performed or at least schematically what it's shown to the offense is completely different from what they've seen for years with Dan Quinn where Dan Quinn was very basic very simple lot of man and when you get to the season Once you throw these different looks it takes a little bit of time for the Cowboys to adjust well Zim is throwing a whole bunch of looks at these these guys and um if you're practicing against that every week that's only going to benefit you in the season yeah at first at at the start of at the start of count man you know you could tell that um zimma was dialing up on that was kind of you know he you know he was trying to figure out but the but the true baller that Dak is he was you know he was solely catching up you know what I mean and now you know saying and that's and and all this is without without his number one wide receiver you know what I mean that's a whole a whole another discussion right there yeah this is all without your number one guy so man please get this man sign and let let's go man let's B and the last thing I want to say bro yeah the last thing I want to say man this the Run Bland thing it hurt me but man we've been on this we've been on this thing all off season about man about signing Gilly man for the same situation the same situation we been talking about Sig and the first one off the board the first one off out of all the quarterbacks like I don't see how Dallas sit on their hands with this kind of stuff and they you know and you know they this this is supposed to be what they do I don't get them hey I appreciate the call yeah I appreciate the call brother and great points man but I have I have to show the viewers law Nation y'all better stop playing hey law hit me on Twitter said Skywalker I was I was I was him back in the day I'm still himy right now even in my 40s tell that caller don't get it twisted y'all see this y'all see young LW y'all better stop playing with LW man hey LW I believe you dog but the reason why I'm taking foots foot's like foot's like six years younger he about 63 he run every day you mean he out here in these streets bro y'all already know how I feel I'm refereeing I'm washed I'm done man I'm y cherry picking I got my jump shot crazy don't get twisted my jump shot crazy I still got some handles and whatnot but I'm not running up and down no court I'm not running routes I pull something no sir I will moderate it's a rap but you see young law out here in these streets shouts out to the homie man shouts out to the homie uh why ain't this working though let me see all right let's get another caller up in here as I'm I'm looking around here uh 972 What It Is What It Do SC what's going on how you doing brother U man I'm doing great good stuff today good good I'll be quick pretty much what I want say that D I mean not trying to say he's gonna be Daren SC 2.0 but he could see the potential and if he give it up for nothing for Malik Davis undrafted player at that can y hear my bad brother I just had to make sure they can hear you oh okay no you're good you're good but um yeah it's it's just kind of crazy that we we know what the problem is it's it's been a problem for 28 years 2 and it's not going to change those two old men at the top the Joneses ain't going to change it's all about politics it's all about the way they that's why CD isn't signed that's why Dak isn't signed and I believe Dak can take us to the top I mean I know he has a perform in the play that we all think he can but I have faith in deck do the Jones have faith in deck that's another question yeah I'm with you I I think but but I think he he cannot do it alone I I don't think he can put the cape on in the playoffs for four consecutive games uh a game I think so two games I think maybe but we we haven't seen it in back-to-back games but I've said this many of times there's going to be probably a game or two in the playoffs where hey the defense is going to have to win it for you hey you're going to have to out coach and out scheme somebody um and then also hey your top guys are going to have to have Herculean efforts right 20 2022 was a fantastic uh case of that situation right you needed your top guys to have herculan efforts because you were already you know down in regards to players and then you lost one of your best players on offense and you don't have a coaching staff that is great in that in those situation so you needed them to be herculan it didn't happen failed so yeah I mean I AB absolutely think he can have that type of run but I don't think he can have that type of run by putting the cape on himself I don't I don't think that's the case and every time it comes to that right where it's like all right all the hey dog it's on you it it hasn't worked out so I'm going to need you know the the plan these guys to be ready they have not been ready for three straight playoff appearances um in my opin even when they beat Tampa they came out slow they haven't been ready I I definitely don't think they've had a great plan and when they got punched in the mouth for the most part they couldn't punch back so yeah I I definitely think he can do it but he can't do it himself yeah and that's what makes it so frustrating about the offseason it's just like I mean help help hey bro I'm might have to let you go because um the audio is starting to cut out on our end bro appreciate the call uh let's get let's get a couple more and we'll head out here get some super chats wrap yall a little bit in the chat I'm going to go 972 I already did 972 910 what's good 910 you might have me muted brother oh okay let's go to Brandon from Houston what's good B oh man I'm excited for the season still I'm excited for the season and man I'm not worried about du Juan because Jerry already said that he's gonna be on the team so oh he did I feel like oh he said oh yeah he's gonna be super exciting for us and he's lightning in the ball over some you know some jism um you know I I feel like if everybody just tweets de V highlights the the marketing will you know what I mean they'll be like oh okay uh you know we'll be all right on that but man I'm excited for the season even with Jon Bland go down let's I mean hey we stole Carson and he's dog and you know what I mean like some people get the chance early um so we'll just ride it but I don't see uh I looking at those first games I don't see anybody that can dot us up still like you know what I mean like if we got out um all right you got deson Watson all right I guess but you got the Saints no Ravens he ain't not even I guess Watson ain't like that bro right ain't like that right so you put digs on Cooper and what else right we got linebackers for tight end whatever you got the Steelers yeah right and the first time you need a second quarterback is the Lions I think and then he'll be backed by the 49ers and that just Is What It Is Well I think I think we're in a good spot I think New Orleans is going to challenge you through the air I'm not saying Carr is some great player or anything but I do like their their weapons like it might not be household names besides alive but they got some some speed they got some decent weapons but cars I mean Lamar Jack is Lamar right like you know was Lamar is so strange cuz he'll have a crazy passing game and 120 yards rushing and only 99 yards passes so what Lamar are we getting during that day but you're definitely on to something I mean I'm not I'm not afraid know Des wats bro hey you you about to get to Lamar double a gap Blitz all game not knowing where PR is coming from two PS is what Lamar you gonna get that game still I take it hey I don't know I'm actually this one of my like I hate getting optimistic again I was so down after the Packers kicked [ __ ] out and uh you know and I was like nah I'm not even but now they got me back in they had one of them drafts and uh I think we're going to be better at Center than we have been in a couple years and that changes everything uh for us because in the playoff games you know uh we need to be able to just run it in a gap for four or five yards and um we might have won some of them games we might have won some of them San Francisco games we might have won um because we we pretend like our offensive line was like that but and the media talked about it but it was not for years since Fred's gone it wasn't but you know my my and great point and I do want to talk about this a little bit more so I'm g go ahead and let you go but great call bro appreciate it all right L my issue this never it's not working right now my issue with the playoffs is it's it's beyond the the talent I've I've always believed they still had the talent granted 2022 You could argue not definitely when what's the name went down uh Tony piler my my issues for the most part has been a the lack of adding guys that can help you get over the hump when you have a quality team you see you have a quality team during the season and once you get the postseason nine times out of 10 you're like damn I wish we had XYZ that's not number one but that's a part of it number one to me and we cannot ignore it and and it'll come back up once we get around to the season is how do we look and the how to me is a part of coaching like there has been a and I showed you all the stats there's been a trend for three consecutive postseasons the Cowboys don't come out prepared and ready to play they don't the game plan now you could argue both offense and defense have been terrible awful so yeah we got the offens line if you believe right like the offensive line is is back to 2016 like some people do believe yeah we got these topend players we'll see where we're at during the middle of the season if they add more decide not to injuries we'll see what happens but can my coaching staff out with that coaching staff can my coaching staff prepare these guys much better when you come out the way you do that often that is a coaching problem that is a coaching problem 100% and that's why I've been 10 toes down on this how I don't care if the Cowboys or 13- 4 or 10- S I feel like they'll be in the playoffs how do we look on the way in number one and number two are we prepared when we come out these slow ass starts you know if they they catch up they catch up to you so you know from a Personnel standpoint excited about the young guys excited about the veterans they brought in hopefully all these guys hold up hopefully in the middle of the Season we even add more when we're just not content because contenders don't they're not content they still go out and try to add more but if we get to the playoffs and you come out slow you don't prepare your team we have lazy game plans man you you are asking your guys to climb an uphill battle before the season or before the game even starts and that's why to me it's TBD when it comes to these playoffs man cuz you you we we can say well I don't I don't trust the quarterback I don't trust it that's fine I don't trust the coaching staff because for three consecutive Seasons we've come out looking the way we've looked that to me is a direct indication of the coaching 100% all right excuse me last one here honey Grant what's good with you what's good man what's good I I'm I'm really you know not worried about Bland because we got Zima man I think the way that he schemes up his defense I think that can kind of hide him sure hide his deficiencies a little bit so I'm really not worried about that you talking about Carson you said Bland was out for six to eight weeks I'm not you said High his deficiencies who's he well whoever we put back there I think I think yeah I think I think that that's going to help Carson you know um get picks and help him you know manage my argument is he fit this scheme I don't think there's a deficiency within the scheme for Carson I think I like him in scheme if it was if it was Dan Quinn scheme where he's got to run with Guys across the field and deep down like that then maybe you know you feel a little skeptical yeah yeah I would I would have been worried about that I would have been worried about that but not with Zimmer and the way that this scheme is I I feel like we're going to be fine we're going to be fine in in that spot and he's actually going to develop more because he going to get thrown into the fire and I feels like he's going to come out a good player um so let's say we go out there right game one right and and and we we kind of we we we we handle the Browns we handle the Browns right right right right what are y'all GNA say then if we handle the Browns for everybody that you know oh this guy's down and that guy's down let's say we go out there and we handle the Browns week one man what's what's going to be out look then and this running game looks good you know let's say not great but all we need all I'm looking for for this running game get the get if it's third and two we need that first down if we on the goal line we can get between the 20s if we could get between the 20s easy yeah between we did that with TP yeah yeah no I'm talking about the we can get we can get to the 20 real easy no problem I want the running game we need that touchdown on the five yard line go get that right you feel what I'm saying I'm I'm not looking for Splash plays I'm not looking for all that I just want you to be able to convert when we need to get these short yardage and we couldn't do that last year with we did do that last year short yardage was not an issue last year the the Run game issue on the goal line the go line okay short yardage when you say short yardage third and one second and one that wasn't a problem goal line was a problem that's that's facts but if if all you're asking for the Run game to do is be complimentary in the goal line I still think you're coming up short I I I still do I feel like you at least want the Run game to be a factor in between the 20s so that you can now create some uh you know one-on-one situations you right instead of playing against too high shell all day you you have that safety come down because there is a threat of you getting 4.8 yards per carry or something like that I would love for the Run game to have efficiency I if they're not efficient but they're scoring in the goal line well the Cowboys are were still a top uh red zone offense I need you to be efficient in in the between the 20s as well so that you don't have to ask Dak to be superhero or CD land to be superhero between the 20s hey man sometimes it' be nice to let it be easy because a safety has to come in that box so I I still think Beyond just going line rushing touchdowns you want you want your run game to be a threat a little bit between the 20s I think that's going to happen but it's not going to be just with the running backs we're going to use CD in that back field I'm telling you this right now we're going to continue to do that um you know man that's again that's we did it last year we gonna give him more touches he don't need more he don't need more rushes man like like if you if have to pull CD off the boundary to run the ball once again once again you don't have a running attack you don't have running backs that you you believe in there should be no look I get using CD lamb because your run game was trash last year I get using CD lamb if your run game is trash in general but if you actually had a legitimate Run game why why the hell we putting CD lamb in the back field to get well okay he rushed for nine yards cool that's fine I can get a running back that can do that if he good you want CD lamb threatening the defense to create a light box for your said running back but if you're if you're relying on CD lamb kante Turpin to be your run game okay once again bro okay okay okay hold on hold on hold on I got a counter for you on that one counter what about Deo what about him he's a gor in San Francisco you no no no Scot no no I'm not going to let you do that not let me do what how you going say say you got a counter but you won't let me you can't say Roy Talent or none of that you I'm not gonna you don't even know what I'm saying here okay here's my counter for you Kyle Shanahan Mike McCarthy if you tell me we got Kyle Shan that knows how to hey because go look how Debo is used in that situation go look how is used do you see Lamb doing ghost Motion in the back field Faking It the Debo throwing the tight end screen to the other side do you see Lamb getting a fake hand off and then no when Lamb's in the back field Lamb's getting the ball what doing here man well well I'mma say this right now how about get a running back how about get a running back that threatens the defense so you can use lamb where he's best at lamb is a million times better than Debo at wide receiver Debo is limited as a wide receiver hence you have to use him as a running back to get the best out of him I don't need to use CD lamb as a running back to get the best out of the CD land well that's the case I okay okay all right I can see why they trying to get dece some better packages because if you just put Deuce out there just to run the ball that's a tail that's a tail sign the hell a lot of players don't understand about tail sign tail sign matter wait wait what do you mean it's a tail like he can actually run the ball okay all right all right no no no you not under you understand what I'm saying it's just how I'm saying it you might not be Computing with you a tail sign is let's say I put dud back there right I know what run the ball all the time so you know when D that's that's what I'm saying so that's why they got him running out the slot they got him you know trying to do different things because you don't want to just put guys out there for one specific thing so wait wait wait wait 100 Grand what what are you talking about you think that D so Duce vaugh can't go out and play action go out for a pass can't start in the back field and and go out for a screen or something he can't he can't he no I'm saying that's why we need to keep deuce on this team because he has some at least he got that wiggle he's not super fast but he has some wiggle that way we don't you don't want to put CD back there right so we can and you don't want to put tping back there so this is why I was confused my bad cuz we said it's a tail sign that they're going to run I'm like what do you right right that's what I'm saying he can do other things that's why they got him in these different type of packages cuz you don't want to just put him back there just to run the football you don't want to do that so in that case dece makes this team because you know I I believe he can catch a little bit I I believe he can catch a little bit and if him out in space it the pro if you get Deuce out in space he can make some things happen so that way you don't have to put CD or Turpin back there in the back field look I'm I I I joke a little bit about the CD and Turpin I get Turpin right because Turpin is not a traditional wide receiver turpin's more y'all don't kill me when I say this but but I'll explain no I'm might going to compare him to to that I ain't going to do it but T Turpin is more more Gadget you know less nuanced receiver so it makes sense to get TP involved with jet sweeps uh quick screens and get him you know a hand that makes sense because he's not as down in down out threatening of a receiver because I do think he has limitations right uh he's either going to be a deep shot guy or or get the ball to him you know in a tunnel screen or something like that but my argument with lamb where I'm serious is that you know lamb is 100% more a threat and it benefits your offense if he's threatening the defense you know as a receiver so if you have to continue if you have to give him 40 carries in a season or whatever boy you you got problems in that backfield speaking of jet sweeps we we haven't ran jet sweeps since uh lucky no no we not to agree that we did we did some last year with um with turp turp has some see has some good runs man like like if you going jet if you tell me I can get 15 jet sweeps so what's that like a like a Jet Sweep a game out of Turpin I'm down because because especially with this offensive line Yeah well yeah he probably it'll probably be on the perimeter right you probably need like your tight ends and your your your receivers but yeah I'm down for for for him to get a Jet Sweep of game as long as you're using it like how uh Shawn McVey does Shawn McVey uses a lot and shanan a lot of they'll they'll Jet Sweep two or three times a game just to to fake you out right just just to hit a fake with it and get somebody open on a deep Crosser or whatever um just just be creative with it I we could do that especially with Cooks Cooks is killer on them deep crosses man so so I mean I'm I'm just excited I'm ready for the season I'm ready bro it's time it's we're about to look the first few weeks you you're getting your foot your footing you're trying to fill out your offense defense see what they're doing but the P the pieces are there in my opinion I'm just speaking offensively the pieces are there to have a prolific offense it's just a matter of did they make the necessary tweaks with their personnel I'm I'm excited to see they did that if they come out here and it's the same old same um then you're you're basically going to be asking your top guys to be putting on a cape week in week out yeah yeah agree I agree with you 100% man all right man all right brother appreciate you all right bro we got a t West Coast office it's called the Texas coast man the te if they if they truly tweak some things and the things that I'm looking for them to tweak hey Run game scheme is there a small tweak we haven't seen they don't want to bring it out one thing I'm noticing in training camp is there going to be more two back system right with with uh hunter lipkey that could be that could be a slight tweak getting tpin involved a little bit more um I I feel like cooks and Dak should have a much better uh chemistry coming out and let's just be real like how much of a committee are they going to roll with that is that's another tweet because they say committee but to me it feels like this is going to be Zeke and Rico and if that's the case fine make it work but but help them out don't and and I know Zeke and Rico can run between the a gaps but that don't mean I'm going to settle for you know three yards in a cloud of dust if it ain't working I saw somebody in fact it was a super chat I was about to get to said hey man you can't out coach your Center getting whooped I mean if your Center is getting whooped all game sure but I mean let's not let's not exaggerate you can definitely out you can definitely out coach your deficiencies that's what coaching is for that is literally what if I know I'm going into a game and a specific part of my team is not as up to Snuff or specific position or players is not up to Snuff you have to coach around that I watched Mike McDaniels for most of the season have one of the worst offensive lines in football because of uh injuries and whatnot out coaching out scheme opponents to have a rushing attack that was the best in the National Football League a 31y old running back led the league in touchdowns because of scheme so I'm not look I'm not saying it might have happened three four games in in a row but absolutely in my opinion you can out scheme a specific player being a deficiency on your offensive line defense line whatever it may be 100% let's get these super chats and get up out of here we got 26 let's go to super tobo Tai he dropped five and said hey man if they use Zeke as rb1 the first week and first play runs up the gut for one yard I swear on my mom I'm going throw a hammer through my TV I think Zeke's your starter yeah let me just do this real quick I don't want y'all to Ain me I think Zeke just stared but I but I will be fair and I will be consistent to me it's not about the starter to me it's about the the how are they using these guys okay Zeke comes out and he gets the first two carries whoopy do but if Zeke is only getting you the 10 to 12 carries and you got Rico getting 10 to 12 and you're mixing in Hunter you're mixing in Deuce that's what matters more that that matters more to me right I don't care if he just comes out to start the game but if Zeke is 15 18 carries a game I don't think personally I don't think that's a good idea for him and for the Cowboys once you get to the playoffs lead drop too hey where' that go Super Chat he said uh let's hope Trey is hanging on is Hanging with Mr Cooper Cooper BB oh it's on Hanging with Mr Cooper oh you trying to get Trey up out of here for real man turn Trey into TM Hill he'd be dynamic Trey Trey be dynamic as t let that man run put hey hey look you want a punt you want a punt protector put Trey back there fake punt put Trey back I'm I'm I'm not even joking no more how you watch that game and you come away with yeah let's let Trey throw the ball as opposed to let's let this man run can he catch cuz if he can catch even better I'm so serious man like all jokes aside you goingon to waste the roster spot with this man on the team waste a game day spot with this man on the team if if they do that then damn it let him use his legs I'm so serious uh B drop two said that's the one we were talking about B you can't out coach your Center getting whooped I I look I'm not going to sit and act like if your Center's getting whooped every single play yeah I mean that's but let's not exaggerate there's times where that's not happening and I've seen teams with worse offensive lines and centers get it done so be better prepared as how I look at it and Trayvon he dropped come super CH duh appreciate you and said how much unnecessary pressure are you putting on your QB and head coach when we don't have players signed in in place if the Cowboys win a Super Bowl four better get all the praise because this team is not has not set him up to be successful um that's a whole lot there Trayvon appreciate the donation yeah there's a lot of pressure on your head coaching in your quarterback but that's that comes in Dallas right that that comes with the territory in Dallas so pressure be damned go get it done now is it is it easier here I don't think so clearly you can't you can't the evidence is there it's not easy in in Dallas but it's the way to cookie crumbles man and I I said it before and I know toxic you hate the hair but got to overcome it you're going to have to overcome those in the suite and sometimes who they hire you got to overcome those coaches but just give me Lightning the bo bro I I I can care less how it gets done just give me lightning in the bottle how do you think the carers will break down week one says Mel I'm not going to sit here and lie to you you know how I do I usually have a better idea of of this team after a few games but coming out the gate week one we're going to break it down next week we get into our regular routine but this this defense you're going up against and now I'm giving you a preview this is a really good pass defense so if it was a time to lean a bit on the ground this would be the game so maybe you maybe you get a heavy workload of both of those two dudes all right I think that's it one more refresh yep yep we good to go hey man this this has been everything I expected today even with even with my my OG law nation in the building I appreciate you law he did drop
