Yes, make sure you mute the show though, Yeah, 26 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: you gotta make yeah, make sure that you're volume on 27 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: whatever you're watching it on your iPad or whatever all 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, all right, So Mickey gets us up 29 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: to speed on what we know as of one h 30 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: two on a Monday after the Cowboys Texans is we 31 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: enter the final week of training camp. Really got five 32 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,919 Speaker 1: more cuts to make tomorrow, got to get to eighty 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: so who knows they may do it at some point 34 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: today or although yeah, last week they waited until three 35 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: o'clock men on Tuesday afternoon to make that. I wonder 36 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: if I wonder if you wait till then tomorrow if 37 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: you're practicing, like, oh yeah, don't practice and get somebody hurt, 38 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: that right, And that could be the difference there, because 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: you'll call last week there, we had the Monday night 40 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: practice and so they've got one more look at those 41 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: players and see where they are. Make sure everybody gets 42 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: through that practice. Okay, tomorrow. You know in anybody that 43 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna cut pull a hamstring, but it 44 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: is a morning practice tomorrow, right, Yeah, I guess. Yeah, 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: so you might as well wait and make sure not 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: if you know they're gone. Yeah, that's true, because you 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: never know who somebody's got, Oh my hamstring, my hamstring, 48 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: and I need an injury settlement. You go, that's a 49 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: great point, yes, everyson. Now, what I was gonna say was, 50 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, we never really talk about what the players 51 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: are feeling when they know that cut is coming. You know, 52 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: when cut day is coming, it's uh, you know a 53 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: little bit discerning for the players that know that they're 54 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: kind of on the chopping block. Right. I remember being 55 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: a free agent, me and Michael Downs. We're in the 56 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: same room together, not drafted. We have all these twenty 57 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: five rookies back there with us, also looking not looking 58 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: forward to the cut date. And you know, when the 59 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: knock is coming on the door, do they still knock 60 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: on the door when they went training camp? Did they 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: still come knock on the door and ask for the 62 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: ask for the playbook? We have technology now, Everson, they 63 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: could just text you to coach McCarthy wants to see it, 64 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: but at least they won't say they don't. They want 65 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: to text you and that you've just been cut. Yeah, 66 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: don't go back, just bring your Yeah. But you know, 67 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: you know what it means when you get that text though, right, 68 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: that's the knock. It's still the knock. So that's what 69 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: I think it's so bad. I remember being in bed 70 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: because they would come early in the morning and you 71 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: knew when the cut was coming, and I was literally 72 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: trying to go to sleep because you can hear the 73 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: knocks coming down the hallway, right, I mean you're in 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: the rookie door, so knocks is coming down the hallway 75 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: and you're hoping that. It's almost like in the Bible, right, Bill, 76 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: you know you gotta put the blood on the rams, 77 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: blood on the door, right, Yeah, and hope hope they passed. 78 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: You hope it passes. You know, you hope it passes. Oh. Man, 79 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: such a feeling, such a feeling. Man. Yeah, you didn't 80 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: want to see Bruce Mays walking down the hallway, right. 81 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: So other than that, Um, you know, I think we 82 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about because after that preseason game, Um, 83 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: you know, I think we have a backup quarterback controversy, Yes, 84 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: we do, or at least a competition that's real, right. 85 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: You know, this franchise has been known for quarterback controversies 86 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: going back, um well at least at least a nineteen 87 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: Stock and Morton, but probably before that too. And now 88 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: now you can go even further. Yes, uh and Tetle right, 89 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: Eddie LeBaron and ed Yeah. Um, and so now we've 90 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: got a backup quarterback controversy. Well, I mean, what do 91 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: you think, because um, you know, Cooper Rush looked awfully 92 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: good and they really hadn't had a chance to see 93 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: him that much because he first had the back issue, 94 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: he missed practice in training camp, and then he had 95 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: the shoulder ding and he missed practice, and so they're 96 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: they're were intent on getting him more reps in the 97 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: first half than he had been previously. And you know, 98 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: after two series they brought him in and you know, 99 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: he played pretty well and you know, I don't know 100 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: if Gilbert took a step back or whatever, but it'll 101 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: be interesting to see tomorrow how they divvy up the 102 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: snaps if Dak is not in there right away with 103 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the first team when they go to team and see 104 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: if they give Cooper Rush some of those because Gilbert's 105 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: got them all so far, so so we'll be be 106 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: able to tell who's the first guy up after Dak. 107 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: You would think so, right, or at least they want 108 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: to They want to see, right, And I think they 109 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: need to explore it because, you know, again, if you 110 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: don't have a clear cut winner, then you don't have 111 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: anybody you're really you know, sink your teeth into and 112 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: you might have to keep both just to be sure 113 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: that you got one. And ever Sinema, before you chime 114 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: in on this, I want to ask Mickey one more 115 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: question about that. Now. You talked with Mike McCarthy before 116 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: the game. It was Uncountdown to kick off on the 117 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: pregame show, and I know that the plan was to 118 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: use Gilbert and Rush in the first half. Right. Do 119 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: you think that the plan was two series for Gilbert 120 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: and then Rush or the Because I like what they saw. 121 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: As it turned out, Rush got in basically midway of 122 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: the first quarter. I think they the plan was to 123 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: get him more than Gilbert in that first half, maybe 124 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: get him some with some of the guys on that 125 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: first team offense, which is only fair right, and I 126 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: think he took advantage. I think he took advantage, you know, 127 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: and from Gilbert standpoint, you know, I understand what happened. 128 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: But again, when you step up in the pocket like that, 129 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: you got to know that the clock's ticking. You got 130 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball. You can't be looking 131 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: around and still holding onto it. And once you step up, 132 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: the ball's got to come out. And he hung onto 133 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: the ball and you get a stripped sack and it 134 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: leads to a touchdown. So that was not gonna get 135 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: You know, you can't blame you just can't blame him. 136 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: Blame it all. You know how it comes to a sack. 137 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: It's all about the lineman and the quarterback working together. 138 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: I think the flash of on rushing players coming in, 139 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you know how it is, the quarterbacks get like a 140 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: deer in headlights. He saw it coming and he just 141 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: really didn't have a way out. He kind of panicked 142 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: while he stepped in. And you know that happens with 143 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks. But it always looks bad for 144 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: you as a quarterback when you're trying to establish yourself 145 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: and here and the timing is bad. Now right, he 146 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: comes in, he gives up a sack. His stats weren't 147 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: all that good. It didn't see him impress you in 148 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: any way. And all of a sudden, the Cooper Rush 149 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: comes in and he balls out. So the timing is 150 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: really bad in regards to Garret Gilbert. But how seriously 151 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: do the coaches take his lack of initiative in his 152 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: first couple of series. Well, I think if you listen 153 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy after the game, he didn't seem too 154 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: enthused about Gilbert's performance. And again, my point is, when 155 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: you step up in the pocket like that, you got 156 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: to assume someone's coming from behind right, and that's what 157 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: got him. And then the thing that that Cooper Rush did. 158 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: Number one, the touchdown passed to Cedric Wilson in the 159 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: back of the end zone. That's a heck of a 160 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: not only a heck of a read, because he explained 161 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: afterwards that he knew he was getting one on one 162 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: into the back of the end zone. And number two, 163 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: it was a heck of a throw. And then on 164 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: the screen passed the Pollard for the touchdown. They blitzed, 165 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and they blitzed right into the screen. And the neat 166 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: thing that happened there was that Pollard chipped the guy 167 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: that was blitzing and then got out in the fist side. Yeah, 168 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: And he got out in the flat and opened himself 169 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: up for Cooper Rush to throw him the pass. And 170 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: then you know, the offensive lineman did a heck of 171 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: a job getting out in space, Zach Martin Tyler Beads, Yeah, 172 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: to get him into the end zone. So you know, 173 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: you got to give him credit for you know what, 174 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: did he have ten of twelve I think completions? That 175 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: was pretty good. So I just think it's going to 176 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: give them something to think about. And the other thing 177 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: about it, as far as Cooper Rush, who's concerned the Texans. 178 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: When you look at who is going up against, the 179 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Texans still had first teamers in the game, so it 180 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: was a good gauge of It wasn't like he was 181 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: doing it against their backups. And really, when you look 182 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: at the makeup of the Texans roster, what they did 183 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: in the off season, they acquired a lot of veteran 184 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: guys who are basically making the veteran minimum and so 185 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: they are experienced guys in the league. It wasn't like 186 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: he was going up against rookies who aren't going to 187 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: be playing in this league, and so I think it 188 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: was a good gauge for for what Cooper Rush can do. 189 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: And I think the other tipping point was they left 190 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: those first team other than Tyron Smith, they left the 191 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: rest of the first team offensive lying in there for 192 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: him to work behind. So yeah, well we'll see where 193 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: that one goes. And then just keep your catch a 194 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: waiver wire. Can't you see how important this time is 195 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: for Polote. You just see him getting even better and better, 196 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: learning the defense more and more. He is going to 197 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: be one of the most capable backups in the NFL 198 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: this year. He is going to be extremely important to us, 199 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: especially towards the beginning of the season because you know, 200 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: let's be real, Dak and Zeke, they're going to be 201 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: a little bit rusty during the first part of the season. 202 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: And this the really consistent players and consistent ones that 203 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: showed up, Guys like Pollard, guys like be honest, you know, 204 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: those players are the ones that you're going to see. 205 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: They're going to kind of carry the baton a little 206 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: bit more than you would want them to doing the 207 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: regular part the first part of the season because they've 208 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: gotten the most work well, and I think there's a 209 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: lot of fans out there who think that Pollard should 210 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: have been getting more work to begin with. But but 211 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: you can see how Pollard will be used more than 212 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: he was. It only natural because he's making progressions in 213 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: his career and now in his third year, there's more 214 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: of a confidence level that he can pick up a blitz, 215 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: he can do he can do things, and it makes 216 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: Zeke all the more fresh as he goes deeper into game. 217 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: And I think the other thing you will see you 218 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: will not see it in preseason is them lining up 219 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Zeke and Pollard at the same time. I think he'll 220 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: see some of that, and a lot of that is 221 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: because both of all that would be nice. Both of 222 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: them are threats in the past game. I mean, you 223 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: could you can line up either Pollard or Zeke in 224 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: the slot if you want to, and they can run 225 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: routes from the slot exactly. Now. The other thing, and 226 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: it's what I wrote about after the game Saturday night, 227 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: was the best thing I saw in that on that 228 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: night was Dak Prescott's workout prior to the team came out. 229 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: All right, let me hold you on that. We're going 230 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: forty five minutes. Today we need to take a break 231 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: and so when we come back, we get the scouting 232 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: report from Mickey on DAK Prescott's Saturday Night at AT 233 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: and T Stadium.

We thought Mickey had spit the whole offseason 285 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: working on his man skills, and now it's it feels 286 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: like we're we're in regular season form already, and where 287 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: where I'm telling you? You can't do that? All right? 288 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: The most important thing that happened on Saturday night at 289 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium. What was it, Mickey? It was 290 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's one hour workout one hour, one hour, and 291 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: he spent nearly twenty minutes, maybe thirty minutes doing his 292 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: rehab for his ankle, doing the on the chords, off 293 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: the chords, side step, lunges, high steps, you name it. 294 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: He worked these fifteen yard exercises with Britt Brown for 295 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: nearly a half hour. It worked up a good sweat, 296 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: and then he went to the throwing session. Now we 297 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: got to the important and for about thirty minutes, he 298 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: threw to TJ. Vasher who's still on physically unable to 299 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: know he's on non football injury and zeke He threw 300 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: pass after pass after pass, right around fifty passes scripted. 301 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: Doug nust Meyer had the script in his hand. He 302 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: was throwing out in stops, h swing passes, even dropping 303 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: back under center and handing the ball off to zeke 304 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: H and everything was flawless. He had no problems throwing 305 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: the football, showed no sign of any problem with the 306 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: strained muscle, the lat muscle that has kept him out 307 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: of the competitive part of practice. Throwing since July twenty eighth, 308 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: I believe the date was and U and only one 309 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: ball hit the ground. And as Mike McCarthy said, yeah, 310 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: that was that wheel route that Dak didn't run or 311 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: Zeke didn't run right, But other than that, every pass 312 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: was right on the money. Now, it didn't throw any 313 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: nine routes, like throw it thirty forty yards, but you 314 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: know when you're running the uh twenty yard out that 315 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: that's a probably a thirty yard pass. So what this was, 316 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: it was like a pro day workout for Dak Press 317 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: exactly what it was, and just a longer version of it. 318 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: And the only thing that was missing, able to see, 319 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: able to watch all of that, it was before that. 320 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: That's why I thought it was so important to point 321 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: that out. Uh. And the only thing that was missing 322 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: was a pass rush. Although at a couple of times 323 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: the guys that were helping them did kind of cross 324 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage with their hands up in the air. 325 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: They just kind of tried to distract. They have the 326 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: broomsticks out, No, they didn't have the broomsticks out. That's 327 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: the that's the basketball, that's the basketball. But it's a 328 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: matter of fact that briefly back to UM, I think 329 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: Missouri was gonna play Houston. I think they were playing here. 330 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: We go here and practice, and in practice they were 331 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: using broomsticks up in the air to simulate somebody that 332 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: was seven. Yeah, absolutely, But anyway it was it was 333 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: he threw more in that workout than he would have 334 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: if he took snaps in the game, because if he 335 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: took snaps in the game, he might have thrown ten passes, 336 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: so that through fifty. So they should have charged separate 337 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: admission and someone could have come in and see, that's 338 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. You loved that, Oh my gosh. 339 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: So here's an idea. I got an idea for Sunday morning. Okay. 340 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: We advertised the stadium tours, okay, and so you've got 341 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: a pre game before the gates open. This is to 342 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: watch the Dak workout. It's a stadium too, and you 343 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: can charge high dollars. That means about ten o'clock in 344 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: the morning, nine thirty. You need to got to coordinated 345 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: with Dak. Right where Dak, when are you coming out? Well, 346 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: if they opened the gates at ten, then Dak needs 347 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: to go ahead and do his workout between nine and 348 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: ten and we've got the Dak Stadium tour. There you go, there, 349 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: you need to do that. But again, Dax got to 350 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: get his cut. Now, he's got to get his cut. 351 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: But again he threw me he's already got his cut. 352 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: He threw more passes in that workout, yeah, right, than 353 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: he had if he had played in the game. And 354 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: as Jerry Jones said on the pregame show that if 355 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 1: this was Tampa Bay tonight, Dak Prescott would have been 356 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and maybe they 357 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: should have invited in Adam Schefter. Who's okay, Okay, Mick 358 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: created That's where I was headed right there. I was going, 359 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: That's what I was going. So Mickey's not buying the 360 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: report that there's gonna be issues as the season goes along. 361 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: You know, anytime you're coming back from an injury, can 362 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: always have issues. But let's not act like the issues 363 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: are going to hamper him when he takes the field 364 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: against Tampa. The only issue he might have is just 365 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: getting in the swing of things looking down the field. 366 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: But I guarantee you they've got how many days now 367 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: before that open seventeen, and they're probably gonna get five 368 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: to six ten practices in and if he gets in 369 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: against team, he'll start to see that stuff. They still 370 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: have the opportunity, doesn't have to play in a game, 371 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: but they still have the opportunity to play against the 372 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. So I have a question, Uh, what in 373 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: the heck is Adam getting his information from number one? 374 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: And I also have to want to ask the answer 375 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: this as well, spags Um is da being patient with 376 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: this plan? Those are the two things I want that 377 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna find. We're gonna find out tomorrow night on 378 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: the Hard Knocks, right, They're they're making him be They're 379 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: making him be patient with this plan. And as Jerry 380 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: went on to say, uh, if if, if we're gonna, 381 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: if we're gonna try to keep him at rest, then 382 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: let's double down on the rest. So they're being more 383 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: cautious than I think they really need to be to 384 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: try to make sure that this doesn't reoccur. Uh, And 385 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where and see, if this was a 386 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: big story, then then what should have happened is ESPN 387 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: writes a big story. But this was just said my 388 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: understanding in passing in an interview, and then later that 389 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: night or the next morning. ESPN writes a story quoting 390 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: sources saying that Dak's ready to go. So I think, 391 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, got the twitter verse all fired up. But again, yes, 392 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: my information was this was a two to three week deal. 393 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: They're on four weeks almost four weeks now, I think 394 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: are going on four weeks, and that it was a 395 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: mild strain. If there's grades one, two, and three, with 396 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: one the least and three of the most, his was 397 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: a one. Okay, So have you said all you need 398 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: to say that? Okay? What was the second biggest thing 399 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: that happened on seventy two? Thousand people showed up. It 400 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: was a big crowd. It was announced seventy two and 401 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: you know what, and that there were people up in 402 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: the four hundred sections. Yeah, that's when I saw that. 403 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: I said, wow, this is a big crowd for a 404 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: preseason game. And ever since, they passed out those cowboy 405 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: towels and people were waiving them and cheering in a 406 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: preseason game. And the other part of it is, ever, no, 407 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: they wanted them to put them a around their heads. 408 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: The other the other part of it is they stuck 409 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: around two in the fourth quarter at the end, they were. 410 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, I checked the TV ratings too, 411 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: and the TV raid they were. People were sticking around 412 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: really through all three of the second half interceptions too. 413 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: So the other oh yeah, where to go the news 414 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: I didn't say. I didn't mention any by name. The 415 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: other encouraging The other encouraging note was the play of 416 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: the defense, or I should say, the continued play of 417 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: the team's first team defense. I know they gave up 418 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: that first touchdown, their Mojoe moment wasn't great. Right after 419 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: the fumble, Houston got the ball to twenty three and 420 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: ended up scoring. But in the first half, the Cowboy 421 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: defense only gave up seventy seven yards, and after those 422 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: twenty three, if you do the math, all the next 423 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: possessions in that first half they gave up fifty four yards. 424 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: Longest game in the first half off by the Texans 425 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: offense eight yards eight yards right in the first half, 426 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: I think, And so I just think they played awfully well. 427 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: And again they were probably having to adjust that first 428 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: series because Dan Quinn wasn't there calling the defense. We 429 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: got a new coach, Joe Joe Wit, the secondary pass 430 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: game coordinator, was calling the calling the plays and McCarthy 431 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: said that there was a couple things that they needed 432 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: to get settled at first series, but after that they 433 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: shut and they should have shut down Houston. Right, they're 434 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: playing a backup and they have a much out there 435 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: and a good quarterback that right, that quarterback's gonna be 436 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: starting for him. Well, you're right, and they did it 437 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: other than other than that first series because eighteen of 438 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: the twenty three yards they gained were rushing. They shut 439 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: down the run and that was encouraging, especially since Neville 440 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Gallimore wasn't out there. And ohso DIGGI zoo, I thought 441 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: he did a nice job in his place. Well, I thought. 442 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: I thought the moment that they had for the Cowboys 443 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: was just when Cooper Rush came in with that amazing drive. 444 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: To me, that was a nice Mojoe moment. He laid 445 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: him all the way down PenPoint passing of course, ended 446 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: up with a touchdown to Cedric Wilson, who, by the way, 447 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: here's a playmaker. Guys. I mean, we already knew this, 448 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: but I think Cedric Wilson is just gonna be one 449 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: of those players that we will always need in the 450 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: clutch whenever our triplets are not doing well, I think 451 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: he's going to be the guy that come through for us. 452 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: And I must say also the other moment for Saturday 453 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: night was Noah Brown getting off answering the bell. You know. 454 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: I think he's feeling that pressure from seem did I 455 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: say his name, Simmy. He's feeling the pressure from Simmy. 456 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: And he came through with some great passes yesterday. And 457 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: he's always physical on the blocking standpoint, but I just 458 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: love the way he came through with a couple of 459 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: really nice catches and a lot of extra effort after 460 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: one of them, but the one on the sidelines, of course, 461 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: justin it was really showed that there was going to 462 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: be Brown's day as well as Cooper Russian's day, you know. 463 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: And we talk about Noah Brown and his salary. We 464 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: looked it up his one point two million this year. 465 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: Look at Cedric Wilson because he had that restricted free 466 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: agent tender of two point one million dollars, because he's 467 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: in the fourth year, and so when he came into 468 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: the off season and into training camp, there's a lot 469 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: of pressure on Cedric Wilson. Teams in around this league 470 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: love to find a young Brookie who can come in 471 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: and take the place of a guy who just got 472 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: restricted free agent money. But they love Cedric Wilson inside 473 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: this building and so yep, and he has just confirmed 474 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: this offseason and this training camp in preseason games that 475 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: he deserves that spot. Oh he's a great insurance. Did 476 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: you see how you see how excited that was for 477 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: the sideline cast by Noah Brown. That lets you know 478 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: how people are pulling for him as well, because that 479 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: was really geeked when he came down and got the 480 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: got his foot in and got the elbows. I don't 481 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: think those two guys have done anything to suggest they 482 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't be the fourth and fifth wide receiver. And if 483 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: Simmy makes it, they're going to have to keep six, 484 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: I think well. And the other part of that is 485 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: the wide receiver position is a position of strength, but 486 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: you have to anticipate, okay, if you had an injury, 487 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: even just for a couple of games, you have to 488 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: make sure you have enough depth at that position where 489 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: that position of strength drops off. And I think they 490 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: feel good about their fourth and fifth guys. And you 491 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: know what, this kind of reminded me of Walt Garrison 492 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: with our gyles own Nick Ralston. If you need one yard, nickel, 493 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: get your one yard. If you need five yards, nickel 494 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: one yard, don't give don't look like he looked like 495 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: he was pulling that mack truck. Got that one yard 496 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,239 Speaker 1: each time. Nice blocking. And again his deal will be 497 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: special teams. Can he continue to make plays on specialty. 498 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: Here's another thing to consider when you when you consider 499 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: do you keep a fullback on the final roster or not. 500 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: Look back at McCarthy's time in Green Bay, and he 501 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 1: had a fullback, John coon right for years with the 502 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: Packers during McCarthy's time calling plays up there, and so, 503 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: and you know, he has an impact on our great 504 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: influence on what they're doing offensively here, even with Kellen 505 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: Moore calling the plays. And so it'll be very interesting 506 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: at cut down time what the decision they make on 507 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: whether they keep a fullback or try to get him 508 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: through waivers, you know, and a lot of that might 509 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: depend on what happens with McEwen as the third tight end. 510 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: Uh he's got that high ankle sprain. Do they think 511 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: he'll be back soon enough or do they need to 512 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: keep him on the fifty three and then put them 513 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: on returnable ir has to miss three games but you 514 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: would want three tight ends for sure, and that might 515 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: make room for Jeremy Sprinkle as the third for that 516 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: time that particular time, or they can tell Sprinkle, hey, 517 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: look we're gonna waive you. If you clear waivers, we're 518 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: going to resign you, because McEwan's going on I R. 519 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: And the other thing on keeping a fullback is that 520 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: this is where your pro scouting department comes in and 521 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: the guys that are they're scouting the other rosters around 522 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: the league and knowing that there's only a handful, maybe 523 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: ten teams in the league that even can play a fullback, 524 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: and so are those teams looking to pick up one 525 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: or not? And how important is it to those teams 526 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: whether whether you're going to try to slide them through 527 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: or not. Because Lona Lua was gonna make this team exactly, man. 528 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: But he brings more, yeah, offensively because you could use 529 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: them as a one back right, although Ralston probably brings 530 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: more as far as a blocking back up right and 531 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: specially team probably that's right, you know, And and it 532 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: started reminded me of the kind of fullback dilemma the 533 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys were, I don't know, five years ago, maybe Keith 534 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: Smith remember that he was a I think it was 535 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: a linebacker and they turned him into a fullback. Uh, 536 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: and then he was a special teams guy. The guy 537 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: still playing. I just saw the story about his aunt 538 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: uncle about in California. They've lost their their house in 539 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: one of the wildfires. But he's he's with it, Linda. 540 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: Now he's still playing. Yeah, and he's been with Atlanta 541 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years now. And uh. And that's the 542 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: other thing with Ralston is he played some linebacker and 543 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: that's why that's he is more effective on special teams 544 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: than you might expect. He played some linebacker at Arizona 545 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: State also, and so he understands what it takes. I mean, 546 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have a Pro Bowl fullback and Nick Bulore 547 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: who's now playing linebacker for him during this training camp. 548 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: And so that's that's something that any fullback needs to do. 549 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: All right, we need to take a break and let's 550 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: talk about that defense when we come back here on 551 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: mix Shots in just a moment, Thank Smoothie King.

He was that close right there, 596 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: and they and they tried, and they tried to make 597 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: it easy for me because they put five six for 598 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: fifty six. You got distract hell, it would have. He 599 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: was anticipating, he knew he was gonna have to reach one, 600 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: and he was in the Roman numerals, and then he saw, oh, 601 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: they made it fifty six, and that tripped him up. 602 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the train, the train was on the track, 603 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: it was rolling. It was Silver Street now, and then 604 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: it just got off track. Here came here came wicked 605 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: prior and all right, how about that Dallas defense on 606 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: Saturday night. This was a continuation of the first two 607 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 1: preseason games. I believe over the first two preseason games, 608 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 1: if you just look at I think it was the 609 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: either the first teamers or the first half, they had 610 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 1: given up two field goals and now it's two field 611 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: goals and the turnaround touchdown twenty three yards so they've 612 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: been playing awfully well. And this has got to be 613 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: one of the things that turns around this team is 614 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: this defense has to play well well. I recall when 615 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: I joined the Cowboys, one thing I knew I had 616 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: a chance at being was being able to make the 617 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: team simply because Cowboys dbs were just not good at 618 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: all back in the nineteen Back in nineteen eighty itself. 619 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: I won't call out any names, but you know, you 620 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 1: have some guys back there, really big foot in that 621 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: behind scene, these fast wide receivers and getting beat for 622 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: a lot of yards. And when we the reason for 623 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: them signing twenty five defensive backs his rookies was because 624 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: we needed to show up the secondary. And hallelujah, here 625 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: comes Michael down first. They finally gave me a shot. 626 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, we had Dennis Firma. We start moving some 627 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: things around to make it happen. We tried to remedy 628 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: the situation of giving up touchdowns without making plays. Now 629 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: here we come. Now, we were giving up so many 630 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: yards history yards as far as the Russian game is concerned. 631 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: And here here they come with this rookie named osa Osa. 632 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: Oh wait, wait wait, I'm not gonna try to come 633 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: on now, come on a digit zo digit zogh digga zoo. Diggie. 634 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: Diggie is bawling, Guys, Diggie is really bawling, and it's 635 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: really important for him to make this moves, not just 636 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 1: for the team before himself, because when when Gallimore goes down, 637 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: you know somebody's got to slide in somewhere within that unit. 638 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: It could be the same position, or you can just 639 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: show up a particular position and be able to be 640 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: more diverse with the players that are remaining. So him 641 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: being there playing so well OHSA is giving dan Quinn 642 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: a lot of options for the season when it starts 643 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: because he is in there making plays. And I don't 644 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: just mean stumbling into plays. He's making timely plays and 645 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: understanding the moment itself in the ball game. And yes 646 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: it's a preseason game, but there are still moments in 647 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: the preseason game where coaches want to see you have 648 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: that mojo time, that mojo moment. He's been that guy 649 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: pretty much is entire preseason that has been making plays consistently, 650 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: not for the team, but especially for himself to make 651 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: that team. I would like to point out Mickey that 652 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Mitchell did have three interceptions in nineteen eighty. I 653 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: ain't called no names. I called zo names. No, I'm 654 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: just I'm just pointing out interception leader Steve Wilson had 655 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: four picks, and how many did Benny Barne. Benny Barnes 656 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: had one in nineteen eighty, So there you go. Just 657 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: bringing Benny is my exception. Yeah, Benny had a great 658 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,439 Speaker 1: career with the Cowboys. And here's here's another. Another good 659 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: sign is the linebackers are playing I think really well. 660 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: Now when they finished the game and the tackle chart, 661 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: the leading tacklers had four. Three of them were linebackers 662 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: vander Esh, Jabril Cox, and Luke Gifford. Now some of 663 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: those guys the other they were playing the second half, 664 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: but Vanderash had four plays and he looked really good 665 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: out there. And then that combination of Parsons and Kean 666 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: O'Neil on the nickel, and there was one set up 667 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: they had vander Esh and Parsons out there at the 668 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: same time. So I like the way they're functioning from 669 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: a linebacker corps. They seemed to know what they're doing 670 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 1: where they're supposed to be going. There's no you know, 671 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: seemingly disorganization the way it was the year before, especially 672 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: with the linebackers. And think about this, they I didn't 673 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: have Carlos Watkins out there either, who was considered the 674 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: one technique starter. When the COVID protocols came up. With 675 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: dan Quinn and Watkins, those two had to head home. 676 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: So they ended up with Brent Urban out there at 677 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: the one technique and then rotated Bohannah in and he 678 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 1: actually starting to show up a little bit too. So 679 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: sixty four three thirty I gotta find some space for 680 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: him on the field. Well. I like the fact that 681 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: the defensive backs were trying to get that timing down. 682 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: You didn't see him really giving up many plays, and 683 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: they made a few. They had some knockdowns. Brown had 684 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: a good game at cornerback. Once again, he's not gonna 685 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: be that guy who's gonna make interceptions for you, but 686 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: the fact that he was glued to his wide receiver 687 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: in that game was something. I saw na Sean Wright 688 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,439 Speaker 1: trying to set the quarterback up for a pick six, 689 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: and he almost did it. The quarterback just happened to 690 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: throw a horrible pass, but he timed that just right 691 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: on that out rout. The quick out route, and he 692 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: would have thrown that anywhere close to the wide receiver 693 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: that was gonna be a pick six. These are the 694 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: kind of things I like to look at from defensive 695 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: backs to where they're being very strategic on how aggressive 696 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: they can beat. I saw good stuff. Okay, then Everson. 697 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: Number twenty four is when they seventeen days from now, 698 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: when they opened the season at Tampa Bay, who is 699 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: your starting cornerback opposite Trayvon Diggs. It will unfortunately it 700 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: will not be national right as much as he's making plays, 701 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't find I mentioned you by number twenty four 702 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 1: because I was getting at number twenty four Kelvin Joseph 703 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: the second round, of course. And then of course you 704 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: and you just said that you were impressed with Anthony 705 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: Brown the other day. So Brown's a starter right now? 706 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna be starting at Tampa Bay? 707 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm hoping Brown at some point can realize 708 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: how good he is, because when you've got that kind 709 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: of talented that quick, you know, forget size. He has 710 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: the physical ability to make plays, but mentally he just 711 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to advance. And now you got these young 712 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: guys coming in and they are thinking aggressively, more aggressively 713 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: than the guy like Brown is. So I won't Brown 714 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: to step up and be the veteran he's supposed to be, 715 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: because otherwise you've got Joseph and you've got right. These 716 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: guys are thinking like veterans, and they're carrying themselves like veterans. 717 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: All they do need to do is put that together 718 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: with time on the field and making plays. Let me 719 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: answer that question, they'll probably go step They'll probably be safe. 720 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: They'll probably be safe and go with Brown absolutely because 721 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: Tom Brady would eat Kelvin and Joseph. Oh yeah, I 722 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: forgot here. The opponent wash, I don't want to He's 723 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: gonna eat a lot of people out. Yeah, but especially 724 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,800 Speaker 1: a guy it's only played eleven games or started eleven 725 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: games in college. And the other side is a second 726 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: year corner and then okay, so then the following week 727 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,839 Speaker 1: he got a second year quarterback in Justin Herbert at 728 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys face. And then the third week it's the 729 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: second year quarterback in Jalen Hurts. It doesn't matter, Kelvin, 730 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: Joseph's got it, really does. He's got to make up 731 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: some ground because he keeps getting beat now he can 732 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 1: catch up sometimes when he gets beat because he's got 733 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: that kind of speed. But there's too many times down 734 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: the field he gets beat and he's guessing a little too. 735 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: I would have to say Brown needs to step When 736 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,280 Speaker 1: you see these young guys coming in, with their particular 737 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: attitude and with this reputation that they have, this is 738 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: his year to step out. He has not done that. 739 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: He has not separated himself in any way from the 740 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,879 Speaker 1: other cornerbacks, and with him being the veteran, even though 741 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: he's a young man, with him being the veteran, I 742 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: have been disappointed at this point. I'm looking forward to 743 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: him making me eat quo because I love to eat it. 744 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: That means the Cowboys are going to be making some plays. 745 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: So this is his you, s Bags, and I know 746 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: you've always liked him, but this is his you to 747 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 1: do something and step out and start making plays. This 748 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,720 Speaker 1: could be a replay of ninety two when Cowboys drafted 749 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: Kevin Smith in the first round. He was a I 750 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: think the seventeenth pick that year, and he didn't start 751 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: until game eleven. Couldn't get I Colt out of those things. 752 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: It was over after that, and then it was over 753 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: and then all it was. But just because you're a 754 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: high draft pick doesn't mean you have to be an 755 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: immediate starter. You got to kind of earn that and 756 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: make sure you get earned the confidence of the coaching star. 757 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: Repeat of ninety two, A repeat of ninety two. Let's 758 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: see what happen Bills into the count. Okay, Kevin Smith 759 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: was the eleventh game of the season before he starts, 760 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys go on a roll and they 761 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: wound up winning the super Bowl. And where was the 762 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl played that year in nineteen ninety two? January nine? California? 763 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: Where's the super Bowl gonna be played this year? Mickey Spagnola? 764 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: Not in Pasda White, It's La. We'll be fascinator close, 765 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: although I wouldn't be opposed to Pasadena. Yeah, you know 766 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: that was That was the best setting for a Super 767 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: Bowl I thought of all time. Wow, that was amazing. Yeah, 768 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: all right, I think we're out of time. We've got 769 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: a Mike McCarthy press conference coming your way at two 770 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: o'clock a Central time.
