0:00.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast. This is the place where I talk to people in and out of football and try to give you a deeper understanding, mostly a football but also of sports.
0:14.6	So this week, we've got a very interesting podcast.
0:18.0	We've got Rich Eisen of NFL Network.
0:20.3	I stopped by, was on his show this week out in Los Angeles
0:23.6	and we've got Matt Barrows. I consider Matt to be one of the best beat writers in America.
0:29.8	He covers the 49ers for the athletic and I caught up with Matt on Sunday after the
0:36.9	49ers practice. He's got some very good insights on all things Niners.
0:42.4	So before we get started on all things Niners.
0:43.0	So before we get started, let me take you with me on the training camp trail just a little bit.
0:49.0	I'm recording this in the Marriott Hotel at LAX, the Los Angeles Airport Marriott.
0:57.0	And I've got a day off. It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. It's not really a day off. We're traveling with my videographer

1:27.6	So but I did want to just tell you something about something I saw on Monday on the training camp trip.
1:36.2	First of all, I've told many of you over the years what a tremendous advantage and what a tremendous thing it is to be able to go to see 18 or 20 teams
1:50.4	in about a month-long period during the summer because you just see so much that you just can't see during the season.
1:58.6	For instance, during the season most teams do not allow writers other than sometimes beat writers to watch practice.
2:08.0	So if I go cover a team during the
2:15.0	season most often I won't get to watch practice so I won't get to actually see people play
2:16.0	but on Monday in Oxnard California were the Dallas Cowboys practice
2:21.0	I had the good fortune of just being able to watch two players that
2:26.1	are fascinating to me. One is Tevon Austin, who is the former Ram who you know really didn't achieve what the Rams hope that he would
