We're over 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.600 jet lag. Everyone's past the jet lag and how many 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.360 nights on the road was it for y'all? Twenty five 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.320 counting but twenty five. Yeah, it's nice to be back. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.800 You're right in a good atmosphere for us to practice, 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.320 the fans here for there's a great place, uh to 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.040 to have a practice. It's indoors that kind of Again, 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.960 it goes back to what we saw an ox start. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.200 You don't have to survive the practice in places like this, 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.000 you could focus on getting better, doing the right things 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.000 and not having to deal with the heat and humidity. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.160 So good things for the players to be indorsed this 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.520 beautiful facility. Yeah, what if you had to practice in 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.560 Hawaii for two weeks in that for the game was Saturday. Yeah, 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.720 it was pretty hot, wasn't it. Well it wasn't Austin 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.440 hot though it was it which falls falls. It wasn't 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.160 quite that. I don't know. It was ninety eight degrees 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:40.200 on the field, like the real temperature was eighty nine, 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.160 but it felt like a hundred. Yeah, because because you 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.760 were down on that field, we were we were tallowing 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.160 off at every break, and so we are kicking off. 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.520 Football is back here at the training camp at the 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.360 Star in Frisco, and yes, you are looking live at 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.720 Dak Prescott down on the field. It is free and 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.600 open to the public, not only today with practice just 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.480 now getting started. The team's just the team just arrived 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.200 on the field moments ago and they're stretching and doing 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.360 their thing, get ready for the practice and which goes 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.360 a couple of hours here and then it will continue. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.520 Camp will continue on Wednesday and Thursday as well. There's 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:21.760 activities going on on Tostito's Championship Plaza outside Forward Center, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.720 and so it's a great opportunity for you here here 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.520 on Talking Cowboys to take a look at some of 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.320 the things going on. The actual practice is scheduled to 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.880 start at eleven fifteen. I think they had an opening 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.599 ceremony earlier. We were with Jason Garrett in his press conference, 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.000 so we didn't get to see that. But the actual 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.680 practice eleven fifteen, and when I showed up here at 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.400 about nine quarter to nine, people were robably pulling into 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.000 the parking lot. Yeah, to tend this thing. It looks 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.599 like a good crowd shaping up here. And for fans 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.520 that have been paying attention to camp in Oxnard, you're 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.720 getting a couple familiar faces back today. It looks like 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.400 Tyrone Crawford and there is that the law Law the 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.760 law Tank, Lawrence will be back doing something in practice today. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.080 Looks like they're going to activate both both of those 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.000 guys from Active Pup and Sean Lee sounds like he'll 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.320 be out there too, doing something, coming back from a 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.640 little bit of a nice brain that he hading in Oxnard. Mickey, 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.200 you saw Sean Lee yesterday. Yes, Sean Lee was working 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.240 out and doing his rehab and his helmet and pads 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.880 outside outside and outside it was more than ninety eight 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.880 degree heat. Yes, absolutely, And we are proud to report 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.160 that the new field looks like it's in place and 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.080 ready to go right and it's green too, all right, 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.680 just in time for practice back here. They must have 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.000 spent a lot of money watering that field. That's all 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:50.480 I got there, as other people don't water their yards. Yeah, 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.320 I'll tell you what though. Ye again, I'm really happy 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.600 that we have this opportunity to have our show on. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.559 It's not opt at all. I mean, this is little moment, 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.040 first times that we've been able to do this, but 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.440 you know, to be able to watch practice and talk 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.200 about it a little bit looks like we're gonna get 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.800 into a little bit of what they call us like 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.560 they really like a will walk through part, but it's 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.280 you'll see some spirited stuff going on here. These are 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.120 some plays that they're gonna run that you'll see in 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.800 practice during team periods and stuff. So this is kind 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.320 of a pre practice to the practice of them going 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.320 through some place here. Yeah, and it gives fans an 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.400 idea of who's lining up where, you know, because we 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.360 talk about it on the show. But other than Blue White, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.280 there really hasn't been a lot of that visibility. Training 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.279 Camp live a little bit of that right in Oxnard. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.720 So here here, here's how badly DeMarcus Lawrence was chomping 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.680 at the bit to get out there. So this is 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.520 kind of the practice for the practice, right and Lawrence 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.760 Armstrong went out there as he normally did in all 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.839 the practices in training camp at left defensive end. And 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.200 Lawrence went out there and just pushed them away and goes, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.279 I'm in there. You go, number number fifties out there too, yeah, yeah, 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.080 And then Lyle Collins had to shake hands with DeMarcus 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.280 Lawrence like, oh, hey, where have you been? I have 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.320 now and I got glad to see you out there, 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.560 but yeah, it is good to see him put on 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.359 the shoulder pads, go out there and kind of go 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.279 through this a little bit, get an idea, you know, 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.560 not kick some of the rust off himself, but you 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.280 know he's going to be ready to play. We've been 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.320 watching him and yeah, Oxnard and there. I mean, you 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.360 talk about guys that have been working hard. It's not 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.480 like these guys that are injured to just over there 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.600 drinking gatorade and hanging out with us. They're over there working. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.320 Brit Brown, the wait staff to strength staff. They've done 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.400 a great job with these guys. So it's a reason 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.120 why these guys have an opportune to potentially play in 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.000 that opening game. Mickey's been saying it. He's he's been 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.880 well on track to be back in the fact that 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.480 it's August twentieth and he's back tank practicing. I don't 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.520 think there's, like Brian said, there's any question about his 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.680 availability for September eighth, barring some kind of setback. He 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.760 seems like he's good to go. I would think he's 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.440 right on schedule exactly how they mapped it out. They 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.800 did a great job with that and all player and 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.120 the staff. It also looks like Tyrone Crawford is out 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.880 there on the Is that him on the yeah, the 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.400 right defensive end. That's the other thing we've been talking 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.680 about that where exactly is he gonna no, no, he 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.560 to be rob He's the starter at right defensive Even 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.760 when they got Robert Quinn, I felt like that they 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.840 were still going to go with this combination and then 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.640 use Quinn as a situational rusher and maybe even kick 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.720 Crawford inside at tackle to go with MALIEK. Collins. I mean, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.760 you have to think about two the human log in 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.480 there as well. Those two guys inside, Collins and Woods 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.720 had been a force. They have these practices. They've been 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.200 a nice job. And the other thing we've been seeing 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.800 in practice when the first team goes to the nickel 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:35.280 of Christian Covington comes in at one of the defensive 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.640 tackle spots as uh, he just did right there when 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.000 they went to nickels. So they keep an eye on 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.560 this guy number ninety five. They really like him. The 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.000 other thing, when you were talking about how hard those 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.760 guys were working in their rehab, I was telling the 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.120 guys this morning on the fan I go, they're chomping 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.600 on the bit to get out here and get away 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.400 from Britt Brown. Yeah, he's because he will wear them up. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:02.040 He's as easy he's here to that. Exactly right, exactly right. Though, 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.480 you saw the offensive line. You got Cam Fleming working 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.240 at left tackle, and of course Xavier sua Philo is 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.800 at right guard as Tyrn Smith and Zach Martin out 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.280 of practice today. Yeah, and sua Philo has been a 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.040 guy that Yeah, I don't know how you everybody feels 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.440 here in the booth about him is I felt like 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.200 that he was one of those bubble players coming in 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.200 to training camp, and now with some of the injuries 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.760 and things they've happened, he's played pretty well. He's played 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.160 he's ear his varsity letter jacket already. In all the 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.600 preseason snaps, he's taken seventies. Yeah, every game he's taken. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.360 So you know, it's a shame that Connor McGovern did 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.720 not get those opportunities. It had been a great chance 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.720 for him. But sua Philo has shown that his ability 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.440 to hang in there and survive and be just good 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.439 enough is probably gonna get him on this football That's 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.200 another update from Jason Garrett this morning McGovern their third 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.240 round pick with the pectoral strain still not ready to practice, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.800 don't have a firm timetable and when that's gonna be. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.680 So it makes a guy I likes to a feel 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.080 a little more about I mean, think about it. This 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.600 is a guy that started several games for them last 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.240 year until Connor Williams kind of retook that left guard spot. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.640 I'm with you at this point. I think his depth 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.120 and experience is valuable for this team. As they have 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.439 to make that fifty three man roster decision coming up here, 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.360 they might go a little lighter at offensive line than 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.120 they I think they're gonna carry more defensive linemen and 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.680 less offensive linemen. So it might be eight nine maybe. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.640 I mean that's kind of what they're kind of playing 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.520 with right now. You just kind of, well, I just 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.520 sucked Win through his teeth there when I said the 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.760 word eight. I did just because you've got I mean, 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.120 they're not they say they're not worried about Tyrn Smith, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.280 but he didn't make the trip to Hawaii because you 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.160 know that back has bothered him in the past. You've 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.080 got two Pro Bowl linemen with Zach as well Bill 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.920 with back issues, So I wonder, I mean, I might 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.760 think about going a little heavy, but you're right, there's 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.720 so much young talent on the defensive line. You gotta 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.480 make some decisions and real quick. We gotta get to 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.080 a break with Connor McGovern now as we get deeper 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.920 into this thing, and they potential for i R for him, Yeah, 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.400 and to keep keep in mind, if he was to 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.800 go on I R with a chance to return at 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.760 some point this season, he has to be on that 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.720 fifty three man roster one day. Yeah, right right, the 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.720 final cut down here gas last year, and yeah, I 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.520 think they're leaning towards keeping him on the fifty three. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.360 They run him practicing from what I've been told, So 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.720 both he and Luke Gifford have a good chance of 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.960 being on the fifty three. You though they probably won't be. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.200 So if that's the case, that's nine offensive lineman right away, 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.679 and then the tenth one would be a guy if 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.320 you put ten on, it would be a developmental type 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.000 type player.

The Return of Football that 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.200 a Star in Briscoe, where at Ports Center built Jols, Vickey, Spagnola, 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.920 Rock Phillips and Bryan brought us as a team starts 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.560 the stretched portion of practice right now. It's and open 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.400 to the public. It'll be open also tomorrow and Thursday. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.840 Of course, the Cowboys play the Houston Texans at AT 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.199 and T Stadium on Saturday night at his six o'clock kickoff, 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.600 and then back here. Final two practices of training camp 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.000 on Monday and Tuesday open to the public as well. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.160 All right, but while the team is stretching out here, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.400 one item making news, of course, is the comment from 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.160 Jerry Jones after the game in at a Lohaus stadium 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:36.000 looking Mickey's face. Zeke who Jason Witton on CBS eleven 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.080 by the way last night, and some very interesting comments 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.320 about that after the agent what said that they were 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.400 upset about what Jerry had said, and Jason laughed it 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.880 off and said he first off, he said it was 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.920 he thought it was a brilliant comment. But but he 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.960 laughed it off and said, there is no way in 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.960 the world that Zeke is bothered by that comment. If 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.440 you know the whole context of the way it was, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.400 I would imagine he was the first one to laugh, 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:09.880 exactly right and right, So it was a joke. Can 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.440 we not joke around? Think about this? His agent, Rocky Arseno, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.200 has not said anything during this whole process, and then 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:24.640 he chose that moment to speak up and text seriously, Actually, 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.960 Clarence Hill was the first one to laugh, and that's 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.400 the hardest I've ever seen Clarence laugh and that's saying something. Um. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.480 I think somebody posted the full context of Jerry's answer, 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.840 and it was as Mickey said, it was, he will 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.520 be pony Poller will be a complimentary player to Zeke. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.920 We want Zeke back. It looks like he's going to 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.080 be a great compliment to Elliott once he comes back. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.080 And I mean, that's that's the obvious answer, right because 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.720 obviously Zeke Elliott, you can make a strong case is 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.360 the best back in the NFL. Oh No, they're absolutely right, 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.760 and they did find a back that has a similar 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.400 running style. If you look, can go inside, can bounce 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.480 the ball, outside, catches the ball. Well, you know, there's 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.560 things he's gonna have to work on with the pass 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.480 protection and notwithstanding what happened on the sack, because that's 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.680 not his issue. But I think that he's on that 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.000 path to where he could be a complete back. And 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.680 if you want to put somebody in the game for 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.680 a few snaps and use him as a weapon, Tony 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.120 Pollard looks like a good piece for that. And let's 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.120 clear up what happened on the sack, because there's been 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.160 a lot of talk on social media about that. When 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.560 you look at the play, Jason Witten's involvement in it 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.320 as well as Poler, what do you see? Yeah, what 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.840 I saw, But I also asked somebody that would know 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.360 what was going on. I mean I didn't want to 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.040 The thing is, yeah, I don't wanted to know what 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.320 the exactly and that's a little bit of a dangerous 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.200 thing a game I work with, and so but I 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.160 asked somebody, said the outside linebacker Patrick beat Witton on 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.680 a quick move. It happens in football. A guy made 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.920 a great swim move. Witten set hard to the outside, 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.640 thinking he's gonna have to take him and widen him 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.440 and keep him outside. Well, Patrick went inside on the 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.960 swim move, but he was so quick to beat Witton 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.480 that it got a Pollard who was doing his play fake, 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.119 who was going through the going through that side, and 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.480 he had really no time to adjust. So it looked 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.600 bad on two levels. That two players get the get 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.159 the Rams player, Patrick, the outside linebacker, a lot of 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.920 credit for an outstanding movie. So as far as Pollard 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.119 is concerned on that play, his assignment is to carry 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.680 out the ferry out the flavor. When he sees that linebacker. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.440 He's trying to be a football player. He's trying to 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.800 be a football and I was told with more maturity, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.399 more experience, he'll see like, oh, okay, next time I 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.240 know this play, there might be somebody of flashes that 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.040 I have to be ready for. And then as far 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.920 as what Whitton did there, Witton, after he missed on 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.280 the linebacker coming, he immediately turned. He said he was 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.040 an outlet for Dak. He was saying, had any opportunity, 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.000 any opportunity to him. And we're talking about pre show. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.560 Wile Collins got beat on the play too. So if 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.760 Patrick doesn't get there, lyle Collins guys right there as well, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.560 and then Dak could have diffused it if he just 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.480 got rid of the foot tride. Yeah, he tried too hard, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.960 you know what. He almost fumbled in exact three yard 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.200 And that's something Dak has talked about, like just live 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.480 to see another day right on a certain play. That's something. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.840 I mean, some of the sacks he took last year, 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.480 he tried to extend plays and he even acknowledged that 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.399 and what what what what was that? It was like 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.600 the third third play of the deal Shaman Uncle Wade 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:25.080 for blitzing that early in a preseason. It's his old team, man, Yeah, 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.359 it's his old team, but the Cowboys at What was 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.280 the most impressive thing on that drive in your opinion, Brian, 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.639 I'll tell you what. I love the way. There's a 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.600 couple of things. I love the protection and the ability 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.560 to get the ball down the field to Gallop. I 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.640 thought Callip made a great adjustment. He tracks the ball 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.800 really really well. His strength that he's shown not to 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.000 get old Gallop would have been pushed out out of 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.360 the sidelines Williams, the quarter would have just ridden him out, 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.800 but he stayed along the path thought separated. I'll tell 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.240 you another thing. I was impressed with the second level 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.480 block that Travis Frederick made on the touch down run. 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.400 That's the old Travis Frederick right there. He partnered up 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.680 with Suafilo, they secured the down lineman and he got 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.040 the second level. And once he got the second level, 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.400 then that meant that Poulard had a chance to get 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.720 behind him and par Ballance finished the run. Those are 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.080 oppressive things in that drive to me. You know, Gallop, 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.480 he for a part of that route he ran, he 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.920 looked like a wily veteran because he slowed down just 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.720 a little and got the dB on his hip and 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.320 then took off again, and had Dak thrown it a 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.479 little further, he would have caught it in stride had 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.119 been gone, he had to come back and get the ball. 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.160 The other thing that I thought was impresses is they 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.880 had three third down opportunities and they converted all three, 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.840 and that was something I think they had to feel 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:50.400 good about. Nice. They made trouble converting third downs last 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.879 year early in the season until Marie Cooper got here, 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.000 and that's where Jason Winton could come in, right. Yeah, 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.960 ten yard catch on third down on an option route, 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.080 just kind of finding a way to get open. And 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.240 that's you know, that's such a safety blanket for Dak 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:06.040 that they went about, you well, and then and then Pollard, 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.240 you know, sure, and the way that throughout the drive. 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.639 You know, he had one reception for nine yards, but 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.679 you talk about inside outside that sort of thing, right, 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.640 him and what they're gonna be able to do with him. Yeah, 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.960 this is not a small guy. I mean people want 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.639 to think of lands dump. No, this is not lands dunbar. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.520 This is a legitimate guy that's got a little weight 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.280 to him though, and he's got that explosive quickness, that 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.320 ability to put that foot in the ground again. They 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:32.159 had him wrapped up on the going in on that 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.320 goal line. He was able to break a tackle of 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.000 a of a off of a defensive lineman and get 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:38.800 that thing into the end zone. And think about this. 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.840 You you mentioned Dunbar and the same thing last year 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.000 started with Tavon Austin right right, Oh, he can line 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.320 up in the back Tyron. Tyron Smith is out there 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.080 by the way, Yes he is. I don't know how 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.040 much he's gonna do, but he is out there, and 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:55.239 he led the jumping jacks. Uh with Pollard. When you 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.560
