1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Joining us now here on the fan Cowboys COO Stephen Jones, 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: and a good afternoon to you, sir. How are you doing? 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, guys. Does the Tyrant Smith injury out for 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: the year now it's taken everybody back here in Cowboys Nation? 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: Does it change the outlook at all of what the 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: team is capable of? In your eyes? I don't think so. 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: I mean we've I think at the end of the day, 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: injuries are a part of our game. Every team has 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: to deal with them. And I think you know, our offense, 10 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you take away the turnovers, is performing 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: at a high level, and it's done so on several 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: games without Tyrn or lyouts, So you know, I think 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: we've done a good job with our depth. We're getting 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: Cam Irving back and just got another young player off 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: of practice squads and not so from Cleveland, and you know, 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: just feel like we can get this job done. And 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Back's done an amazing job of not letting it to 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: deter him. And you know, certainly back there running the 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: full offense, and we just got to push forward, would 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: take care of the ball and execute, and I think 21 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: we'll be fine. Is it a guarantee that the surgery 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: will fix Tyrant's neck and he'll be good to go 23 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: starting in twenty twenty one. Well, we certainly feel that way. 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: Obviously they hadn't had the surgery yet. They'll get in 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: there and fix it, but certainly feel like he should 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: be good to go after this. I think it was 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: just something. You know, he's a warrior through and through 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 1: and was trying to push through it. But just seems 29 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: like every time you know that he took some time 30 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: off and you know, did some things to treat it 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: that unfortunately he'd get in the game was full contact 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: and you know, started feeling it towards the end of 33 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: the game and just feel like we probably need to 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: fix it. Why, it's a good time to fix it, 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: and we can do it to where he'd come back 36 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: and you know, continue his career. Stephen, you mentioned to 37 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: the other offensive tackles that you guys have added, and 38 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: obviously in one game you had to move Zach out 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: to right tackle for a little bit in practice. Will 40 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: they be looking at different combinations involving moving guards around 41 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: or will we just see the tackles get the first 42 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: crack at this. Yeah, we've we've certainly looked at that, 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: and Mike's you know, great at looking at our options. 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, between night and still and like 45 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: I said, cam Irvin coming back, we've got Tonight, We've 46 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: got Smith, we got off the Giants practice squad. That's 47 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: on our practice squad. We have options. But certainly, you know, 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: I guess two games ago, Zach shuffled out there and 49 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: did a great job. And I must say Connor McGovern's 50 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: really making a lot of progress. It's it's like his 51 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: rookie year because he never really got to work in 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: and practice any last year, and you know he's improven 53 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: each week. So you know, at some point we'll just 54 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: figure out, you know, long haul, what's the best five 55 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: to work with? You know, the biggest, you know, the 56 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: biggest challenge is not having the continuity of having the 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: same five weekend in week out, And I know Mike 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: wants to eventually get to that and see what those 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: best five are. And I think we can, you know, 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: only improve from there. But you know, as I said, 61 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: injuries are a part of our game and we'll just 62 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: move forward. And uh, certainly we've got some good guys 63 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: who work with and be positive. On defense, there's been 64 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: There's been a few plays that have seen people sort 65 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: of breaking down where it seems like the Cowboys, if 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: people are moving around pre snap, can be a little 67 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: bit late adjusting. Does it hurt not having Layton Vanderesh 68 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: out there to call the defenses? Well, I just think 69 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: anytime you're missing a Pro Bowl type player like Layton, 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: it's a certainly a challenge. But as I said, a 71 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: lot of other teams are experiencing that this year. I 72 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: mean it's certainly, as we know, an unprecedented year with 73 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, the way we've gone about our business this 74 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: year as a league all thirty two. So but I 75 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: think when we get Layton back, he'll certainly help. And 76 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, he was the one who was calling the 77 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: place before, and I think Jalen's done a good job. 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: I just think more veteran type players, pro Bowl type players, 79 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: you can get out on the field a better off. 80 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: You're going to be steven. You've got big shoulders. I 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: can answer ask you this question as the director of 82 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: player personnel, do you feel like you've helped your your 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: defensive coaches with the players that you brought in or 84 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: is that something you're going to have to reevaluate now. Oh, 85 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: I think we've helped them. I think it's a matter 86 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: of you know, Brian, it's you know, this is as 87 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: I mentioned, and no one's making excuses. All thirty two 88 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: have this and but you know, we're in the middle 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: of trying, especially on the defensive side. We didn't you know, 90 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: have as many reaching, far reaching changes as we did 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: on defense, and you know, to have a short period 92 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: of time to work with it. That's part of what 93 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: happens when you make a coaching change, as you're going 94 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: to have some changes. We did go with Kellen as 95 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and you know, kept a lot of 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: things in place there, so there's not as big of 97 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: a learning curve to to overcome that. But I think 98 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: we're just gonna get back. Our guys are gonna I know, 99 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna embrace the challenge. We're certainly getting a lot 100 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: of criticism, deservedly so in terms of the way we're 101 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: playing right now. One in three is as you know, Brian, 102 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: you remember, coach parcel as you are what you are 103 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: exactly one and three, And until we change that, we're 104 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to answer these tough questions. We've got to 105 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: go to work every day and meet the challenge. Yeah, Steven, 106 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: and I've always known you as a roulatter sleeves guy 107 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: and get in the middle of these things. On our show, 108 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about team building, and you know, 109 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: we're thinking about, okay, how do you help this roster 110 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: if you can are tradable pieces something that you continually 111 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: will talk about. As far as moving to try and 112 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: bring talent back to the roster, is is it pretty 113 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: open to your roster and who you might potentially move 114 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: to try and help it. As I've said, player acquisitions 115 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days a year. We see 116 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: the right opportunity that makes sense, then we'll weigh that 117 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: we've got a great group and Will McClay and his 118 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: scouting staff, Mike McCarthy and his coach and staff, and 119 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, we'll weigh our options. As you know, there's 120 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: not a lot out there on the street. But if 121 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: there was anything that made any sense for us in 122 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: terms of helping our team this year, we do that 123 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: whether we were one in three or three and one 124 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: or four and oh, we're always looking to get better 125 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to have that attitude. As you know, 126 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: as far as just players on the street. It's been 127 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: picked over already pretty good. Ye think everybody probably agrees 128 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: this is you know, probably on pace for for more 129 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: injuries than normal, but that's to be expected when you 130 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: don't have a competitive offseason program, a competitive mini camp 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: and quarterback schools. Those are you know, a long preseason 132 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: and you know time to get these guys going. It's 133 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a challenge, but that's something 134 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: all thirty two have to deal with. So we feel 135 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: comfortable that we've got to you know, good players in place. 136 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: We've just got a you know, really embrace and gain 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: confidence and what we're doing as a football team, and 138 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I think that things will take care of themselves. Stephen 139 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: Jones here with us on the fan, Okay, with with 140 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Travis retiring, with Tyrant Smith's injury situation, is the offensive 141 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: line status as being one of the best in football? 142 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: Is that era now in jeopardy or close to the end? 143 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, we, you know, our 144 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: hope is we continue to improve. We've got to, like 145 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: I said, we've got a Connor McGovern who's coming on strong. 146 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: We drafted what we believe as a lot better player 147 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: than where he got drafted and bidas and I certainly 148 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: we believe Tyran and Lyle can both come back off 149 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: these injuries and be there for us. Is that you're 150 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: never as strong as you were when you lose a 151 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: Lyle or a Thyland. But I do think we've got good, 152 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: solid players who will only make us better in the 153 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: future because they're young and we'll be here. So, you know, 154 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: we our problems has not been moving the ball. Our 155 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: problems have been protecting the ball. And then of course 156 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: on defense, our problem has been we we're not creating 157 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 1: turnovers and unfortunately we're not you know when I stopping 158 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: the run and we're giving up too many points. So 159 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: we've got our challenges ahead of us. We've got a 160 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: lot of work to do if we're going to change 161 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: its narrative. We've had four weeks of this. I don't 162 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: think you can say right now it's, you know, just 163 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: a bad game here and there. You know, when you 164 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: do something for throw, it's a pattern. So we've got 165 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: to change that pattern. So on that defense philosophically, how 166 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: do you guys feel about when you're building that thing 167 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: in terms of building it either front to back or 168 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: back to front. Do you guys have a preference there 169 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: or is it just sort of the best players that 170 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 1: you can get out there. You know, everything's got to 171 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: match up, and the opportunities got to match our salary 172 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: cap situation. As we all know, we've got some young 173 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: players that we're paying and got coming. We've got the 174 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: back situation that still sits out there that we have 175 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: to resolve at some point. And you know, we just 176 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: have to make opportunities meet and meet up with what 177 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: our needs are and how we can bring good players 178 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: on the ball team. You know, it's always a big question. 179 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: Is that the chicken and the egg in terms of 180 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, turnovers and that type. Is it the past 181 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: for us or is that the the corners with ball skills? 182 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to get all the above going. 183 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: I think we took a big step that way in Diggs. 184 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: He's a really good young player who's i think got 185 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: a great future. And then we've got, you know, some 186 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: players who are getting some good u you know, some 187 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: good pressure. We've just gotta you know, we got to 188 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: hone it in and execute on defense better than we've 189 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: been doing. Steve, I'm gonna put you on the spot 190 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: here A lot talk about the effort of your defense. 191 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: Is it effort or is it ability? When you watch 192 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: your team play, I don't think it's either. I think 193 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: it's more just playing with confidence. I think they've got 194 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: to embrace and put more work into the scheme in 195 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: terms of what we're doing. Brian, you know this better 196 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: than anybody. A player knows exactly what he's doing, plays 197 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: faster and can make plays versus when you're trying to 198 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: think about where you're trying to be and what your 199 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: assignment is. That's got to be second nature. I think 200 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: we I think we've got the skill, We've got the 201 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: players with the skills. I think we can get this. Uh. 202 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: I think we can get this rectified. It's just a 203 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: matter of continuing to work at what we're doing so 204 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: we can play with confidence. The return of Jason Garrett's 205 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: a big topic for us and the fans this week. Stephen, 206 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: have you had any contact with Jay Geezy this week 207 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: and build up? I have not. You know, he's busy. 208 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: We're busy, you know. I don't think you see that 209 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: happened much, IBC. It'll be great to see him and 210 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: Coach Dooley and coach Colombo, among others, and good to 211 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: see him before the game. But I know they're hard 212 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: trying to get their their team in the right place. 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: We're hard to trying to get our team in the 214 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: right place, and uh, you know, it's a big game 215 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: for both teams as uh, as we move forward this year, 216 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: You've mentioned both Beatish and uh Treyvon Diggs during this interview. 217 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: Right after the draft, it was almost universal everybody loved 218 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: what the Cowboys had done in the draft. How would 219 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: you evaluate that class through the first quarter of the 220 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: season and how you feel now compared to when you 221 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: picked him? Oh, I think, uh really good. I mean 222 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: you you start to go through it. I mean ceedee, 223 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: Lamb is having a great start. Diggs, as you know, 224 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: as one, has won one of the starting corner jobs 225 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: and you know, just been all over the place in 226 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: terms of being real close to making some big time 227 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: plays and uh, you know he's doing it like a pro. 228 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: Uh you know, he's not one hundred percent a little 229 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: shoulder injury, I say a little so shoulder injury. It's 230 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: it's never a little what's yours? But uh, but he 231 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: has had a shoulder injury and she sees wearing a 232 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: knee brace out there, but still out there really competing 233 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: and making plays for us. And you know, I think 234 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: Gallamore is just a matter of time, just learning the system, 235 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: learning how to be a pro. I think he's going 236 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: to be just fine. As we all know, sometimes it 237 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: can take a year look at a guy like Tristan Hill, 238 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: and then you know you got the adage and the 239 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: list goes on. I think our rookies are doing a 240 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: really formidable job, and especially when you take about they 241 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: had no offseason program, They had no mini mini camps 242 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: or quarterback schools, and a very shortened training camp that 243 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: didn't involve preseason games. So very pleased with our rookie class. 244 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones, thank you so much for your time. 245 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: Cowboys Giants three twenty five Sunday at at and T 246 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: give him hell, we'll be pulling for you.
