This is the player's 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:22.400 line broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star. 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:29.479 No your hosts Barry Church, Danny mccraig, and knew he scrugs, alright, 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.960 it is high time. Here on a Tuesday, the three 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.240 Amigo negroes back together. At least two of us, decided 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.239 to come in studio work together. I wanted to be 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.000 a good teammate and get here for Danny today. M 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.040 Barry Church to hang on out at home and not 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.000 tell nobody. When when did you get in? The warning 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.600 from Church he was I didn't. As a matter of fact, 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.879 I still I think he's gonna walk in now. Oh 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.360 no that Oh I see you, Oh Barry you at home? Bro? 0:00:54.560 --> 0:01:00.120 Oh hey there he is. Oh. So that's so. That's 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.000 what we're doing today. That's all. That's how we're gonna 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.240 start this show. All I'm saying is all I'm saying 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.720 is I came in last week and y'all gave me 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.400 a hard time talking about vacation and all that. And 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.680 now everybody knows that I wasn't on vacation. I was 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.440 trying to win some money and what are you doing 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.000 at home? See see what happens new? You know, people 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.480 get on CBS, they start, you know, they get on 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.880 these shows, man, and they come back a new person. 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.760 They come back a new person calling people out on 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.119 the show. It's hard because I had his backphone money 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:36.640 on the side. Like I always say, I mean that 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.959 was you know, And I had come up with that 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.039 creative term because we had a couple of folks who 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.760 would ask where's Danny, And you didn't tell me what 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.800 was going on? And I just merely called it assignment 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.800 because that's what's where we're using the TV business. So 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.800 we now know those times Danny missed he was on 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.960 the TV show Survivor, which will premiere September twenty second. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.320 Correct on the twenty second, on the twenty second, that 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.240 was my sign. I went out there and did what 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.240 I could do it to be exciting to watch. Okay, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.360 So um, look, Barry, we can't ask him. We can't 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.880 ask him any details about the show, so so we won't. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.400 We have to respect that privacy of his agreement to 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.639 work with CBS. But I will ask you this one 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.200 simple thing which you can't answer because I have been 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.720 a part of the reality TV show during my time 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.920 in La Towns of change. No no, no no no, this 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.880 one asked, reality has not changed. It's a serious question. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:36.040 Are you the crazy negro on the show? Because all 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.200 all reality shows are gonna find one. They're gonna get there. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.720 We're going we can hate the producer like got we 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.480 gotta find the crazy black guy? Who's that guy? Who's 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.720 the crazy black The editing process got the editing process? 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.320 Remember how they got t o they got hold?

They're gonna find a crazy 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.839 black Teo wasn't hard to find. But I'm just saying 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.919 that you can answer that. Let me tell you something 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.040 I have. I got no comment on that one, but see, 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.080 let me tell you the type of guy new he is.

I was so excited to do this. I 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.360 want you to tune in and check me out. How 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.440 you know that's not coming.

Make sure you 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.880 were tuning in on September twenty second. Uh, thirteen shows. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.159 I'm not sure how many. I'm not sure, but at 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.440 least it usually is somewhere around thirteen and fifteen. Season's 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.880 gonna be at least twelve seasons, at least twelve, so 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.920 it's gonna it's gonna go a long way. Honestly, I'll 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.960 tell you, I've never watched a full show of Survivors, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.320 so this will be my first time diving into it here, 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.240 So it was gonna be It's gonna be good man, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.040 I guess excited to see it. Um. So cuts are 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.440 today across the league. Cam Newton has been cut by 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.520 the New England Patriots, so Alabama Mac Jones has won 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.160 that job. And initially, let's get right now. You just 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.479 check Twitter, people like who camp to the Cowboys camp 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.360 to the Cowboys just have some of my boss over channel. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.240 But when of my manager Champ, I say, hey what 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:41.920 I can to the Cowboys and you and I talked 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.920 about it and then I've forgotten And on the way Dan, 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:54.680 I remembered Cam's not vaccinated. Well that there's a twofold 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.240 problem here. Number one, we know that the Hall of 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.120 Fame owner in general manager Gerald Jones believes in vaccinations. Absolutely. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.840 We also know what happens and just in case in 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.040 Minnesota with if you know, if you're if somebody gets 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.400 contract contract tracing and then you're involved, you have to 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.120 sit out longer. It's a it's an issue. It's an issue. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.000 So can you bring in Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott's backup 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.280 who's not vaccinated the quarterback position here? Is that something 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.440 you want to do? And also you know it takes 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.440 longer when you're trying to get guys on your team 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.720 that our vacks as you go through all the different nagues. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.320 So this this the thought process of Cam to the Cowboys, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.160 Cam backing up um Dak Prescott versus Cooper Rush. You 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.480 can get excited about it, but there's another layer here 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.560 that you got to dive into. So now knowing that, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.640 Barry Church, you still want Cam. I'm still here, baby, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.440 I'm still here. Do you want Do you want Cam? 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.000 Do you want Cam? Since they cut your boards? Oh 0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:02.120 cana Hellna, Like we're getting into this to the COVID discussion. One, 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.280 he ain't going because of the vaccination, Like that's he's 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.400 too close in that quarterback room to Dak Prescott and 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.640 if he gets a close contact or something like that 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.840 during a regular season, and now him and Dak Prescott 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.040 both gotta sit out for a game, and we're stuck 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.880 with Cooper Rush. And we'll get into the double G 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.960 Cooper Rush situation later, but we're stuck with Cooper Rush. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.280 All Hell's gonna break loose. So that's the one. That's 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.880 the number one reason, Like you said to me, the 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.160 COVID he's not vaccinated, so he won't be here. Number two, 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.600 I don't want my backup quarterback getting that much line 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.840 like he like it's gonna be a circus coming into 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.160 town with Cam Newton. We all know this, Like if 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.160 and if d for some crazy reason, let's just say 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.200 he struggles a little bit out the gate, Lord, Rusty 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.600 out the gate, you're gonna have those fans in the 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.040 background chirping, oh man, we should get Cam in there. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.320 We should get Cam in there. And I just don't 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.280 necessarily need all that for this team. Dak Prescott's an 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.920 unquestioned leader and he needs to be such. He doesn't 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.400 need that whole circus backing him up in what Cam 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.160 Newton brings. Is he a solid player overall? Yes, Cam 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.240 Newton is a solid player, but we don't need him 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:06.600 on his Dallas Cowboys roster. Yeah. Let me tell you something. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.119 I think that famous quota is the best ability is availability, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.560 all right, And there's questions with Cam's availability if he 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.920 comes on this team, specifically because of the vaccine questions 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.200 that we have around them, So I think that's a 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.480 big issue. I will say that any fan that watches 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.440 Dak Prescott struggle in the first couple of games and 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.760 calls for him to be benched for Cam Newton is 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.000 drunk and they should not be watching any football. They 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.200 should go watch another sport because that doesn't make any sense. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.720 So I don't think you'll see that issue if Cam 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.559 is here from any real fans. Of course, that noise 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.760 will come, but I don't think he'll be as big 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.960 of a distraction as as as Church may think. But 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.080 it's possible, but I don't. I don't think Cam Newton 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.600 to be here on the Dallas Cowboys roster anytime soon. Okay, 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.280 So now let's let's let's continue this conversation with branching 0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:00.119 into the Cowboys or cutter today. Numerous reports out already 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.480 that Ben de Nucci has been cut from Jeremy Fowler 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.520 of ESPN. Todd Archerds put out that that Garrett Gilbert 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.880 aka Double G, has been cut. Now, double man, if 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.840 you listen to the players lounge, Danny McCrae and I 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.880 had Double G cut along time ago. You had Church 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.360 being a hole out, still holding onto this this Pittsburgh 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:26.800 game that he played and it didn't work. Jerry Jones. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.520 Jerry Jones went on, want to fight through the fan. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.440 He said, Cooper rush Is consistency and familiarity with the 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.360 offense led to the Cowboys keeping him over Garrett Gilbert 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.520 and Ben the Nucci. So your boy Double G gunn 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.360 like we said he was gonna be okay Church, No, 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.320 I'm not okay with this. I'm not okay with this. Look, man, 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.720 d Nucci. We all knew the Nucci should have been gone. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.280 Look the Nucci, I don't even think he'll be back 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.920 on the practice squad. I mean, you know, not the 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.480 pile on the kid. But he just was awful out there. 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:04.400 And so look, Double G to me, he's more experienced 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.560 than the regular season. I know, I keep harping back 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.760 to the stealer's game, but we had we know nothing 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.319 about Cooper Rush, and when defensive dcs out there try 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.480 to make these adjustments towards him and make him go 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.800 through progressions and all that stuff, we know nothing. What 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.760 can Cooper Rush do out there? Now? Overall, I don't 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.560 think Cooper Rush is gonna be the backup. I mean 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.840 he might be there for the first maybe week or two, 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.800 but I presume that we're gonna go out there and 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.200 try to find somebody to bring in to back up 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.760 Dak Prescott because I honestly think, and I think you 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.000 guys can agree with me on this, Cooper Rush is 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.960 not the answer at backup quarterback, neither of those neither 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.800 three of those guys. I'm willing to admit. You know, 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.880 Double G let me down a little bit. You know, 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.560 I thought they gave him opportunities in this preseason, he 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.120 wasn't able to grab the reins and take over that 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.840 backup job. They gave him plenty of opportunities, and he 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.520 just wasn't able to do it. But I don't think 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.839 Cooper Rush is that big of a you know, it 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.040 has that big of an advantage to be the backup. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.920 I don't. I just don't believe in that. So I 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.679 think the Cowboys are gonna go get somebody. Whether it 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.800 be the first week, second week, third week, We'll find 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.120 somebody and Cooper Rush won't be the backup throughout the 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.400 regular season. But I mean, overall, we need one bad 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.480 because this this backup situation is terrible. Take that. Hell, yeah, 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.080 I'll say this. I'll say this, Barry, because you know, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:14.960 I wanted to look you in your face as I 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.520 said this. Okay, because yeah, you started off okay, you 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.240 talk about it els, Okay, you started off with Mike 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.280 McCarthy being the guy to write this ship. Okay, you 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.640 started off with that, okay, and then you backdoor that 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.559 with Benda Nucci is gonna be the guy. You backdoor 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.319 that NUC is going to be the guy, Okay, and 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.720 then you backdoor that we're going to make the playoffs 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.280 possibly going to the Super Bowl. The Red Pistol is 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.839 gonna be the guy. Then you backdoor that by saying 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:52.240 double G. Oh say hold on, hold on, let me interrupt, reble. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.720 I never said red pistol. Red Pistol is the reason 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.560 we didn't get to the playoffs. No pistole decided the 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.760 last game of the season for to play his Church. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.480 Did you give him his nick did you take his 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.040 nickname away? Giving him back his his real name? At 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.760 some point in the season last year, you said I'm 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.040 not calling the Red pistol no more. He came in, 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.400 he did his thing, he got his real name back. Okay, 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:21.240 you did. Okay, I'm gonna tell you that's that's what 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.760 his nickname is. Okay, okay, but wait, there's more. Then 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:32.680 Church says, you know, double double double G is going 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.559 to win this quarterback battle. That was last week. He 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.600 said double G's gonna win this quarterback battle. And we 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.520 no longer have been. We no longer have been to 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.400 Nucci or double G on the roster, which means we 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.520 can quit talking about that. That is signed, sealed, the 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.440 little done. It's over. No double G Cooper because Cooper 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:57.280 rust has won the quarterback battle. Let me ask, did 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.959 Cooper Rushes are to win that Coop that backup back? 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.920 You gotta ask Jerry. Jerry said he had a better 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.679 He had an understanding of the offense he was fine with. Now, 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.559 I'm going to go back to something you referenced already 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.240 and I talked about it on the show too. You 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.040 had all offseason where you set the table for Garrett 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.719 Gilbert to be the backup. He spent the whole time. Man, 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.960 this is this is right here for you to win. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.719 We want to give you. We want to give this 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.640 to you. You take it. That to me was a 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.319 red flag right there. You guys are both played You 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.280 guys are you guys have both played this, and you 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.280 guys have both been on teams where the coaching staff 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.240 is trying to give someone a job. Here, God, please 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.959 take it. He didn't do it. That's a red flag 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.880 for me. And Cooper rushed what he did. Okay, man, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.360 go ahead and give it to him. I don't have 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.679 any issues and you can talk about any man, you know. Uh, 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.600 Double G played in the game against Pittsburgh and say lost. Okay, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:01.480 that's fine. Um, yeah, I'm sorry, sorry man, your boy, 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.439 Your boy had a shot TDNT. Are you are you? 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.160 Are you comfortable with Cooper? Are you comfortable with Cooper Rush? Barry? 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.599 We've talked about. I've said this since training camp. I 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.719 can't go back to WAYT Center. The backup quarterback you 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.040 need is not on this roster. I said that since camp. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.160 I'm not going to back off that today. But I 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.840 do know this, all right, you're getting ready to face 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.200 the Tapha Bay buccaneers. I don't see them being able 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.640 to get anyone in here during this tip from now 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.000 until September nine that you're gonna sit up here and say, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.960 hey man, this guy's gonna get this offensive. He's gonna 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.240 be that guy. I don't see that right now. So 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.920 Cooper Rush is going to be the guy. I'm looking 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.400 at it this way. So are you? MA? Are you 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.800 are you comfortable with that? No? But let's be honest, Church, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.800 how many of your thirty two teams are comfortable with 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:52.440 the backups they have? There's not many. There's not many 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:57.480 all Over, asked Mike McCarthy. How comfortably he was because 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.840 I remember when when when Aaron Rodgers went down, we 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.360 will be okay bred hunting and do you know what 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.680 you saw brand Huntley. Dude didn't do anything. So, I 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.560 mean most most teams man when you take the starter down, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.440 especially when you got a highly paid starter. Most teams 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.480 are in the world hurt after that because if you 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.880 got a highly paid starter, you don't really have enough 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.400 money to put that resources towards the backup quarterback unless 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.800 you develop that guy. So to me, if I'm the Cowboys, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.520 I'm going to keep Cooper Rush for now, and we've 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.240 spoke about it before here, You're going to go out 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.920 and look for someone. Now. Will Greer was cut by 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:38.760 the Carolina Panthers today. I'm not saying Will Griers the answer, 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.520 but I'll say this, I would pick up the phone 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.080 or I find Will McClay. I'm doing some research on 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.320 a guy that Carolina Panthers got rid of who played 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.040 at West Virginia to see, okay, could there be a fit? 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.560 Could he be better than Cooper Rush? Could he be 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.920 better than Cooper Rush in two three weeks? I do 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.600 think they're gonna have three quarterbacks. You're not just gonna 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.200 go with two sold at some point in time, You're 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.280 gonna have to get a third quarterback and put that 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.480 third quarterback on the active roster because we know about 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.880 the whole COVID issues stay, So you need three guys 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.600 because of COVID right now. So you don't need it 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.200 right here for the fifty three. You can massage it, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:16.960 but at some point in time, I do expect this 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.240 club to go get a third quarterback. You know, look, 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:22.760 and I didn't I agree, And if and if, if, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.200 if Dad goes down by any stretch of the imagination, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.600 the season is lost regardless Solo. I mean, we're hoping. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.000 I gotta hope that Dak stays healthy, and I hope 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.720 we don't see neither one of these backup quarterbacks, but 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.720 we do got to grab another one because I you know, yeah, 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.560 Cooper rusts ain't it? Boys believe so? So would you 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.680 have been okay with them keeping Cooper Rust and Garrett Gilbert? 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:53.320 No Church, No, no, no, so Na no no. I'm 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.720 not gonna sit here and act like Garrett Gilbert, you know, 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.280 was that guy Like I tried to defend my guy 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.280 for a little bit, but like new he said, he 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.440 didn't grab the reins. I can't sit here and pretend 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:03.960 and try to front like he was. You know, he 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.040 was a frontrunner. He didn't grab the reins. Cowboys gave 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.080 him plenty opportunities. So so I'm disappointed and Gilbert on 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.119 that regard, But I do feel like we need to 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.280 upgrade that position, whether it be with a Greer or 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.320 somebody else like that, we do need to upgrade the 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.800 backup position. Yeah, just y just to finish that one off. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.840 Y'all keep saying that he you know, he didn't grab 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.159 the reins. It sounds like he lost the job. They 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.120 gave it to him and he lost it. He didn't, 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.560 he didn't. He didn't like they didn't set it up 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.360 there and say, hey man, this is yours to go take. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.640 They said, hey man, you are the guy. You went 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.240 out there and you want You played well against Pittsburgh, 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.040 so we saw what you could do in this in 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.320 the regular season, and hopefully you can carry this on 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.800 the shorts that you could be the backup quarterback. And 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.520 then he lost it to Cooper rush He lost it 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.720 no matter no matter how how close the battle was. 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:47.800 They looked at it and said, we believe that we 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.960 have a better chance of winning with Cooper Rusher at 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.200 quarterback than we do with Gary Gilbert. And that says 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.800 a lot about what happened with Gary Gilbert this offseason. 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.200 Yeah yeah, Gary Gilbert should be mad at Gary Gilbert. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:59.960 Yeah okay, I mean, look, he should go looking at 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.359 mirror and he should be mad because they tried to 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.760 give this too they okay, it's yours, it's you. I mean, 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.960 no different than Michael Parsons, all the work. They gave 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.040 him a training camp. They wanted him to be the guy. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.080 He went in and did the work and took the job. Sorry, 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.920 Gary Gilbert didn't do it. This is the National Football League, 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.840 you know. I think they really wanted to see Ben 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.480 de Nucci take another step forward and develop. You know, 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.960 he didn't do it. He got cut And at this 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.840 point in time, I don't think that I would put 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.960 Ben de Nucci on my practice squad. Why why we 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:39.000 seen we've seen everything now if we've seen a development. Sorry, yeah, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.920 that's that's what. Where Will McClay goes in there with 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.680 his coffee. If you go sit down with with Mike McCarthy, Hey, man, 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.719 I know you like him.

He says he 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.600 believes he thinks that Braylan could return to the practice 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.320 squad because he's got a position flexing guard and center. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.439 A cut that I was not surprised at was Darry Thompson, 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.840 so veteran safety Darry Thompson his gun and he wow. 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.520 Tard Archer says he thinks y'all.

Once once Jerry said Hooker was 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.680 on the team, somebody had to go and it wasn't 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.280 gonna be c J. Goodwin.

He was he was going to 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.520 be on the Rocks. Oh yeah, hes gonna be running 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.560 out one or two of them. Yeah, he'd probably be 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.920 like the safety on a kickoff or something. You know, 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.280 you're not gonna be doing nothing too crazy, especially coming 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.439 off an injury.
