00:00Let's bring in Nick Eatman and I've been uh I've been Arizona scarred by Nick because I remember
00:05a couple years ago he's like ah I don't know I think I'm picking the Cardinals because the
00:11Cowboys just can't beat him I'm like shut up what are you talking about and unfortunately that has
00:17proven to be correct now tomorrow is just a preseason game which we'll preview in just a
00:21second but we bring in Nick Eatman right now uh pretty lively practice yesterday wasn't it Nick
00:26yeah it definitely was it was uh you know the last one of Oxnard really uh there's a walkthrough
00:34today but that was like the last one and but it felt like it was super long mainly because it
00:39was
00:39the hottest one of of training camp so far not not to you know complain to you guys out there
00:45but
00:46um it was it just was it was long but uh you know productive and uh you know I think
00:53that this team's
00:54ready to to get home I'm always curious about this last game I've this last game right after
00:59training camp you don't always see the team play its best and I've seen them you know flat performance
01:06before uh even in Arizona so I kind of wonder what you're going to get tomorrow Schottenheimer like
01:13two or three times in the presser yesterday had to stress camp's not over and I was getting the
01:19feeling that he was having to you know guide some people emotionally like we're going to be back
01:23soon like we're going to be back home but we still have to go to Arizona first so that kind
01:28of reminded
01:28me of that as you said that um he also went through his list of surprises so far in camp
01:35who jumped out
01:37or who exceeded expectations who jumped out to you uh amongst that list if anybody well I mean I I
01:45think
01:45for me you know when I look at who who this team you know who has played really well and
01:51kind of
01:52exceeded expectations it it starts there's always a couple but it starts with Camden Brown just because
01:58of of how he you know how he's been able to perform with this receiver group these receivers you know
02:05we're going to come up with a list here on our on our website on the top players of training
02:10camp you
02:10know voted on by the people that's been out here and it's you know it starts with the receivers
02:15receivers have been great but Camden Brown's a guy that's been able to work his way into the reps
02:19and taking the stuff from a good offseason to a really good training camp and then taking him to
02:25the game so uh yeah that's that's been the main guy for me that's that's come out and really done
02:31well
02:31but uh you know your offensive linemen too the in the in the middle the the the BBs and Tyler
02:37Smith and
02:38Tyler Booker those those guys right there you expect them to be really good but I think that they have
02:43taken it to another level Nick shoddy I raised an eyebrow or took note he really highlighted
02:51Mingo's camp and he talked about MVS in terms of you know special teams did either of those comments
03:00make you hesitate and automatically putting Camden Brown above them well you know I think that
03:08there's there's there's some politics going on at this point um you know with with who's doing well
03:14and and also trying to see how this roster is going to get shake out like I'm not talking about
03:20them
03:21specifically but I will I will tell you that that there are some guys on this team I think the
03:26roster
03:27is good enough where there there are some guys that are probably gonna gonna get traded to other
03:32teams I'm not saying necessarily those two I just mean you've got some veteran guys you've got some
03:38some spots too many players for the spots that are here and I think you're gonna see some some guys
03:44getting traded so I think there's gonna be a lot of players kind of getting talked up I just don't
03:49see when I'm going back to receiver I don't see where where the fit would be for for veteran guys
03:56like
03:56that that that are that are going to be maybe playing special teams I mean um uh Camden Brown's
04:04on the team I mean I don't I don't know how you can say that he's not I don't know
04:08how you can try
04:08to figure out if those other two guys have a spot then they're going to keep seven then because he's
04:13on the team he you just can't bring a guy like that onto your roster and him do so many
04:18things and
04:19then and then try to think you're going to get him on a practice squad or stuff like that so
04:23he's on
04:24team I don't see a spot for MVS I just don't see where where that makes sense Mingo is to
04:29me
04:30battling right now and and maybe there's a shot but I don't think there's a shot for both of those
04:35veterans Nick Eatman brought to you by the Winstar World Casino and Resort proud to be the casino
04:40of the Dallas Cowboys please game responsibly Nick why is Camden Brown not Andy Jones John
04:46Veya Johnson or Trey Sean hold any one of these receivers who have blown people in past why do you
04:52think he's different I think he's different because he's got he's checking the boxes on a lot
04:59of things that you want for a receiver number one can he catch the ball make the play I mean
05:04maybe
05:04that isn't number one but that's the one number one that we've seen out here can you go make the
05:09play those two touchdowns were not good passes they weren't plays that are just always the quarterback
05:14put it right in his hand he had to go fight for it he had to go make the play
05:18one of them
05:19here he was battling two two receivers two defenders wasn't even a great pass by Sam Howell
05:25he he fought made the play the other one was just one-handed snag in the back of the end
05:30zone
05:30he's got good speed he's got he's it's just a level of of awareness at at that position that he's
05:40he's
05:40taking it to another level I mean I I love the fact that he's done it out of camp he
05:46went to the game
05:47he did it at the game he came back this week and had another really good week of practice
05:52so it it's just it seems like every single time there's a moment um he's you know he's he's kind
06:00of excelled so I just when you're you name some other receivers right that that have done it they've
06:06they've done well and and they've you know either made the team or made the practice squad stuff like
06:11that but you know I think when you're looking at a guy 6-2 2-0-9 runs a 4
06:15-5-9 you know he's he's just
06:18got all the tools and so he's done it enough where he's he's gonna make the team um is he
06:25a guy that's
06:26inactive every week or does he play special teams and that's gonna be up to him Nick Eatman with us
06:31here
06:31on 105 through the fan uh so the they've got the game coming up this weekend uh what are you
06:36looking
06:36for to come out of this one and specifically we know about these roster battles that we've talked
06:41about do you think there's anybody that's competing for a starting spot or is there anything we haven't
06:45discussed on that front that could be up for grabs in these last couple weeks well you you wonder
06:53I I I think that there's starting spots that are sort of still up for grabs I don't know if
06:59it's
07:00between players that are on the roster you know I think that and specifically the one that comes to
07:05mine would be the offensive tackle position like I I think that Nate Thomas is is gonna battle some
07:13and and you know if if Terrence Steele isn't isn't the guy that that they're gonna you know start it
07:18right tackle um I I would imagine it's somebody that's not on the team um but you know I I
07:26will
07:26see if Terrence Steele even plays or Nate Thomas I think Nate Thomas can play it play well and maybe
07:32get
07:32into that mix um I'm but as far as starting positions go I don't really see that I don't
07:40see that there's a there's a real battle between spots I'm trying to go to I'm going through the
07:44depth chart in my head right now like looking around like what do you think is there is there
07:49a spot for you because I can't figure out I mean I I'm fascinated by what you're saying about the
07:54tackles right now because I was focusing on that just for a sec do you think they have like a
07:59real
07:59level of concern there like like is that do you think that's right do you think it is a legitimate
08:03concern they have a tackle now I think that they do I I believe that I believe they have a
08:08concern
08:09there now um you know there the one thing that I think is different about this team and this is
08:16what I was I was thinking about this just yesterday like walking around getting ready to pack things
08:21up I was like can you hear it all the time what's different why does it feel different it just
08:26feels
08:26different and it does and the Cowboys have done a lot of things I think one reason that it feels
08:32different is that every spot on their roster their starting spot even before like well you can't have
08:38it all right you can't have everything you know some spots are just good they're just solid there
08:43there is what it is I think the Cowboys are trying to fix everything um and that's what they're even
08:50going to the outside to do that so if they feel like they need help you know pass rush then
08:55they're
08:55going to go and and make a move if linebacker was kind of thin well then they're going to go
09:00and get
09:00the winners there during the draft and so now if offensive tackle might be the position I'm not
09:06saying they're going to go get anyone right now but I think if they did I think if there is
09:11a move
09:12to make on the outside I think offensive tackle is one that they're a little concerned there I do
09:17believe that now do you go get a right tackle do you move Guyton to right I mean he's had
09:23a pretty
09:23good camp Tyler Guyton's had a really good camp at left tackle I don't think you do move him I
09:28think
09:28you figure out what's going on a right tackle though and if it's Terence Field then he's got
09:32to play better but I don't think they want to have Jake Ferguson catching five yards of pop
09:38at tight end and and because he has to stay in help block and then he catches a short pass
09:43and
09:44he's not doing much down the field I think they feel like they need a right tackle that they don't
09:48have to help surprise me the Vaughn Miller was in pads yesterday first snap getting a pressure
09:54passes batted down by Caleb Downs were you surprised that Vaughn was in pads anything else major jump
10:00out from practice or was the big story the $500,000 fine for the Saints fights um not really
10:07surprised by what I'm seeing with Vaughn Miller at this point I mean just because I think future
10:14Hall of Famers are on a different level you know and he he is he just he's like if he
10:18if it's if
10:19he's ready to go it's how much he was he was prepared but yeah it is a I say it
10:25wasn't surprised
10:26it's different though it's different than other ones that we've seen we've seen guys they've signed
10:30at this point in training camp because they need a little ramp up he he's he didn't need that and
10:36like
10:36like we needed like Anthony Bardi did or whatever or certainly Jason Peters um you know needed it at that
10:44point in their career he's he's ready to roll now you mentioned the 500,000 that was a shock I
10:50I I just
10:51what I don't understand is where like what what is the level that the NFL comes in and says all
10:58right
10:58now that is too much like you know what what do they see I mean there's fights at every camp
11:04I just
11:04don't know why it's like that specific one like did they count how many fights did they count the punches
11:09did they count helmets being thrown I mean I don't I don't know that seemed very excessive but
11:15I love what Jerry said it's like oh well we'll get it back we have to pay it trust me
11:20we're going to
11:21get it with these players within so um that's you know it's it was crazy it was definitely excessive
11:28but I can't believe that that that they they got you know they spent that much and they charged
11:33500,000 dollars for for each senior it seemed very excessive as Bobby said Christian Parker was
11:38right all the video narcs out there all you guys got Jerry find half a milli yeah it was those
11:45cell
11:45phones they did it Nick we're guilty too I mean like you know but but then again um what's the
11:52downside to that you know you start taking cell phone footage away you start taking people you know
11:57probably you know not coming out to practice as much and yeah you know they're gonna have a bottom
12:02line um maybe that close to that figure you know they're gonna get hurt the same amount in a
12:08different way so um you know I I think Jerry Jerry just wants them to not fight about that I
12:14mean it's
12:14not about the the narcs out there just don't don't sit there and throw helmets and all that I talked
12:21to
12:21one of the trainers and he he was just saying I'm so I'm so relieved we didn't have any neck
12:26injuries
12:26because when they they fight they grab the face mask and they tug it yank and twist and all that
12:32stuff helmets pop off he's like usually when that happens you're getting a lot of neck injuries
12:37and we're just fortunate that that didn't happen hard to remember an Oxnard season where Nick even
12:43brought it stronger than this fantastic coverage thank you for all the info travel safe have a good call
12:48tomorrow we'll do it again next week all right see you guys see you back down
12:52you
