It's a little delayed, 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:34.920 but but it's okay. We had our we had a 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.400 mojo moment, but we're all good. We got a mojo 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:44.280 moment here. We lost that mojo moment. That was definitely 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:51.360 our Mojoe moment for a week right there. All right, 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.960 Players Lounge bought you by Hotels dot Com. New We Scruggs, 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.240 longtime Cowboys reporter, joined by two four Dallas Cowboys safeties, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.200 Barry Church and Danny mc cray. And yes, we've got 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:06.720 to hit up hard knocks as HBO's outstanding series made 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:11.360 its debut of the Cowboys Episode one last night on HBO. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.679 The Mojo moment was the thing that I was glad 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.160 they got inside to understand show us what Mike McCarthy 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:20.960 was talking about with the Austin powers and everything that 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.400 went into it, because while I was at camp in Oxnard, 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.080 you heard it, you didn't kind of know what it was. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.680 He explained it a little bit, but it was better 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.440 to see exactly how it all unfolded. So, gentlemen, right 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.360 out of the gate, I'm gonna start with you, Danny McCrae, 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.920 what was your thought to the way Mike McCarthy was 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.200 portrayed in Hard Knocks? Okay? I thought she's about to 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.800 ask about the Mojo moment because not sure if it 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.080 hit the way that he thought it was as I 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:51.200 watched it. But you know, listen, whatever whatever you need 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.360 to do to get your team hype and helped them 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.320 understand the situation that you're trying to put them in 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.960 to make them better, well, you know, whatever you gotta do, 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.800 you gotta do it. I mean, this is what I 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.920 said was going to happen to coach McCarthy once he 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.760 got on this TV show. It was going to show 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.639 that he is not really doing much if really, the 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.760 only thing you could say that he did on that 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.519 show was come up with the Mojo moment. Other than that, 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.440 it showed that him and Dak might not be as 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.400 cool as they should be right now. They showed the 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.959 Special Teams Coach More having more of a personality with 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.919 his players. They showed Jerry and then the rest of 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.120 it was the dak in a Zeke show. So it 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.200 just you know, hopefully in the next couple of weeks 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.840 we see a little bit more of Big Mike. But uh, 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.160 that one, you know, it really didn't didn't show much. Yeah, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.360 to me, it kind of came off. The mojo moment 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.639 came off as it's just kind of gimmicky, just a 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.080 little gimmicky. Um. I mean we saw, you know, last 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.720 Hard Knocks when when Gruton was up there talking about 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.200 you know, knock if you hear him, or knock on 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.639 wood or something like that. Tallest players. So to me 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.320 that that mojo moment, it was it was kind of gimmicky, 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.680 but real quickly, let me ask you when they when 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.840 they go to this mojo moment, it's like, you know, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.639 this little situational thing. Is it like a stretch of 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.280 three plays, is it like a full series or they're 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.639 doing like a two minute drill or or a red 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.639 zone you know, red zone drill or something like that. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.840 Like how does each mojo moment you know, break down 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.280 on the field or is it just a one off? 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.720 Like all right, it's it's awesome, powers time, it's mojo, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.239 It's mojo. Get your mojo whatever. Ready, let's go on 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:22.920 this field for this one play, Like, like, how does 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.519 that break down as far as that mojo moment that 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:30.000 that sequence of events. Yeah, he'll tell you exactly the 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.160 situation and how much time it is and where the 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.320 ball is going to be. So you have to go 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720 through that um One of them that I that they 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.120 showed last night was where the offense had to get 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.840 you have eighteen seconds left or whatnot, but you had 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.640 to get the ball in the end zone and Garrett 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.040 Gilbert couldn't get it done. Another mojo moment, de Nucci 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.840 ended up throwing one in the end zone and and 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.760 CD Lamb caught it in the offense one. So so 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.640 they were they've been trying to have competitive situations throughout 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.400 camp where the offensive defense are going back at it 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.440 and the defense is fair. Fair to me, the defense 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.560 when I was out there, got the better of the 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.280 offensive overall. But there were a couple of these times 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.360 in these mojo moments, in these final um seconds that 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.000 the offense ended up looking good. So that was kind 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.200 of what you saw last night that you know, Gilbert 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.320 couldn't get it done. But it's tough and you guys 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.040 know from a defensive standpoint, it's tough when you know, 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.760 you know, let's say I'm Michael Parsons gets there, or 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.800 a defensive lineman gets there, but all of a sudden, 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.440 the quarterback can spin out and still throw a ball 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.720 in the end zone and make a you know, make 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.599 a play. But yeah, he's trying to do something different. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.240 I used to hate when when they used to do 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.159 that with Romo, that we'd be a two minute drill. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.799 You know, deep ware get off the edge easily, easily 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.279 could have sacked the quarterback, but they didn't blow a whistle. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.600 And then Romo gets a little pass off and you know, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.240 the offense celebrate. It's just to get their confidence up. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.080 But I'm like, man, that place should have been dead. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.920 That's the thing. That's the reason I hate two minute 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.520 drill is when you're doing camp and it gets the 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.120 offense because it's always catered into we got to stop, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.800 it's over. It should be over, coaches, No, no, no, no, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.159 we still got time. We got time for another sequence, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.560 we got time for It's always cater to let the 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.040 offense win. But overall, when when it came to that 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.280 hard knocks, NUIs Danny to y'all, who who in that 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.400 first episode besides McCarthy, who stuck out the most as 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.280 a player when you were looking at I know it 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.560 was the Dock and the Zeke Show, But has anybody 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.480 anybody else kind of stuck out to you when you 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:22.520 were watching that Hard Knocks, I say, you know, most 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.880 of the other part of the show focused on Michael Parsons. Hum. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.000 He's a high energy guy. You can tell he really 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.240 loves the game of football. He's kind of all over 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.200 the place, kind of like most rookies are right now. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.760 So I can kind of understand the conversation that we 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.400 had a few shows ago where they were saying, we 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.320 just we're gonna tone it down a little bit. We're 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.960 gonna like get you into one position and let you 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.440 focus on playing football and playing fast so you don't 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.600 have to worry about should I should I hammer or 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.600 should I spill? Should I force them inside? Should I 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.880 force him outside? Just get out there and just play 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.760 fast like you did. That made you, you know, the 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.440 first round pick, which is interesting. I will say this 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.840 so long because this mojole moment, I can't let it die. Okay, No, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.720 I don't think many coaches you know, whatever, they may 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.280 do it a different way, but nobody's reinventing the will, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.840 right the mojo moment Church, But we know is got 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.400 to have a situation, all right. It's the same thing 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.720 we used to do when JG was here, And but 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.680 I think his was more sporadic because you would have 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.040 a guy to have a situation, you know, four or 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.680 five times a practice. Hey man, look it's time for 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.960 d Ware to go up against Tyrn Smith. And you 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.680 would see that like day in the day out, just randomly, like, 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.840 oh no, if we're gonna stop everything, we want to 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.440 see one on one, got to have it who his 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.880 dad's gonna go against as a cornerback, Just to kind 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.840 of build up that this is a competition. Everything is 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.480 a competition, and we're here to compete. So it's not 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.120 reinventing the will. So you know the fact that he 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.400 came up with something to make it seem a little different, 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.320 you know, more power to him. It's just us as players, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:52.960 just how we're looking at it, you know. But if 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.600 it works for him and his team, then that's that's great. Okay, Danny, 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.280 Let's just get straight to it. Thumbs upper, thumb down 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:06.640 on the mojo moment, the name thumbs down. I gotta 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.920 go thumbs down on the name, but I'm not in 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.040 that locker room. They had a whole conversation about it. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.240 You know, I do love Austin Powers. I just don't 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.640 think it fits. The mojo moment to me is like 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.080 if you got mojo, that means you got some swag. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.320 It doesn't really translate into a swag moment. It's true, 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:25.880 got to have it, Like what are we gonna do? 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.320 This is a situational moment, But you know, if it sticks, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.160 it sticks. Well, well, let me ask both of y'all 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.120 this question real quick from from what y'all saw from McCarthy. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.480 You know, through the first episode of that Hard Knocks, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.800 do y'all think this guy can be a good motivator 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.560 of men? I mean, I know, you know, Garrett kind 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.560 of got that. That label is he can't motivate his 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.320 guys to go out there and win. And he has 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.360 a stack team, but you know, nobody wants to play 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.960 for him. Do you see McCarthy being that great motivator, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.200 that guy that can get the most out of each 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:58.000 and every player? Nui, Danny, anybody you know knew he 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.640 not gonna answer that question. I'll start, I will, I 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:07.840 will start right here. I am not sold on Mike McCarthy. Okay, 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.320 last year, I gotta see it. I'm just not sold. Now. 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.960 Mike McCarthy is able to carry in something that most 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.120 coach in the National Football League cannot carry into a 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.239 locker room, is a Super Bowl ring on his finger. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.040 But my question with Mike McCarthy has been seriously this. 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.480 Green Bay identified him as the problem with their organization. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.400 They fired him. They've gone twenty six and six without him, 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.520 and played an NFSC championship game twice, and Aaron Robers 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.800 won another MVP. So how much of it was Mike 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.160 and how much of it is you got number twelve now? 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.800 I thought he brought up a really good point on 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.599 hard Knocks. He says it takes seventy seven guys to 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.160 win a Super Bowl, at least it did for him 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:43.880 with a Green Bay. And I remember even during that 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.720 Super Bowl game, they were losing dudes. I think they 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.880 lost Woodson during that game of Donald Driver. So Mike McCarthy, 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.439 he had found a way to utilize several people. He 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.719 had Ryan Grant, who was running really good that year. 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.959 I remember him in some fantasy leagues, but he was 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.600 doing a really good job. They lost him. They went 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.920 through a bunch of running backs. So Mike McCarthy has 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.040 been able to build a championship team. But it's one 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.599 of those things where, hey, look, somebody can have a 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.960 good record, but can you can you continue to make 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.880 good records? You know, you have to hit home, you know, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.079 but it's a whole lot of thing to be a 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.280 hit hit artist, you know. You know, can you be 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.079 Stevie Wonder who's been good year after year after year, 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.000 decade after decade. Are you like Belichick who's been good 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.040 year after year, Tom Landry same thing? Or it's Mike McCarthy, 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.760 a guy who just had one great run in him, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.920 such as Rick Carlisle had with the Dallas Mavericks. That's 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.200 been my question with Mike McCarthy right now. I can't 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:32.800 sit up here and tell you that I'm sold on 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.520 Mike McCarthy to be in the guy. In fact, I 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.320 asked Jerry Jones that very question when I interviewed him Sunday, 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.760 the first Sunday at training camp. Do you have the 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.080 right guy? Because I said the same thing, hackers when 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.160 twenty six and six without this dude, So what am 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.160 I supposed to say? And Jerry says he's sold sold, 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.760 and he said he's not gonna count last year. That's 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.400 Jerry's whole thing. He's not counting last year. I'm sorry, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.319 Cowboy fans are accounting last year. Six and ten? Okay, 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.280 hany one that six and ten bull Jade. And you 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.080 got to see, you know, because if you look at 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.800 it his career with the Packers, I mean, he had 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.280 two Hall of Fame quarterbacks throughout his whole tenure with 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.440 the with the Packers, I mean he had Brett Favre 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.200 and then he had Aaron Rodgers and he was able 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.120 to amass one Super Bowl out of that. But you 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.520 got a thing. I mean, they say, he's, you know, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.640 this great play caller, his offensive mind, he's a genius 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.640 out there, and we've yet to see that as well 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.360 because he has Kellen Moore, you know, calling all the 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.200 shots out there. So I want to see this season 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.199 and we've got to see it this season. Is what 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.640 type of coaches McCarthy is He Is he a coach 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.600 that can can motivate his teammate or can motivate his players, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.280 even though the lesser players to play, you know, beyond there, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.480 beyond their skill set. Can he be that type of 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.720 coach or is he the type of coach that you know, hey, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.839 he's along for the ride. I mean he has a 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.480 loaded team right now with the Dallas Cowboys and he 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.199 has to simply manage them in the right direction. Do 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.680 you think he can be that that motivator, that manager 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.760 of this team to get them to play to the 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.880 peak of their abilities. I don't think we're gonna have 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.920 to see that from Mike McCarthy. Um. I think you 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.280 don't have that issue on offense because of the players 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.400 that you have, and we know the type of leader 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.920 that Dak is and we know that everybody's gonna follow him. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.360 They're gonna follow Zeke. You kind of got a receiving 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.640 corps that they know what to do right. You have 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.080 a Marii Cooper leading leading that bunch. You don't see 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.000 them getting any issues and they're productive. And then on 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.120 special teams, we know that that that fossil is a motivator. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.720 He's going to motivate his guys to get out there 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.679 and play. He's gonna come up with creative things to 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.679 make sure that they feel like they're a part of 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.960 the game and making those plays. And I'm gonna call 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.360 this man just like uh like like you called himself 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:39.040 my man DQ, my man DQ. Dan Quinn seems like 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.160 he has the guys fired up and ready to get 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.760 in their tackle, make their be on their assignments, make 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.240 plays on the ball. As NEWI said, if you've been 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.199 watching training camp, the defensive being has been getting the 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.640 best of the offense. And so I don't think when 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.559 you look at it, you have to see McCarthy being 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.960 the motivator of men, because these guys in their position 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.640 and coaches, their coordinators are going to have them ready 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.920 to play when it comes game time anyway, So I 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.160 don't know if you're gonna see it, well, you know, 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:14.240 the Super Bowl Trophy. It's heavier than just pointing that 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.880 to your point. I love what you said about Dan 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.720 Quinn because you see it in these practices. You see 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.839 it while they were out there and Ox started, and 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.440 even in the preseason game that these guys, these players, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.480 these guys on the defensive side of the ball, they 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.480 seem to believe in Quinn. They seem to believe in 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.520 what he has going for him. You see these guys, 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.600 they're fired up. There's not a lot of coverage busts 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.199 out there now. I don't know if you know he's 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.800 implementing his whole defense yet or they're just dealing with 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.520 the super basics right now, but you haven't seen any 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.599 coverage busts out there. These guys are flying around to 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.880 the ball. And one difference I've seen. I know it's early, 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.719 I know we only got a short sample size, but 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.400 from that Steelers game, you saw those guys swarm into 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.200 the ball. There wasn't just you know, one guy trying 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.839 to make all the players or one guy tackling in 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.800 an open field. There was one, two, three, four different 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.720 hats to the ball at a time. And I feel 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.520 like that's what you gotta have on a defense, is 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.640 that swarming mentality. I think last year we had it 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.480 was just too many one on ones. There was just 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.400 too many open fields just one on ones. And that 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.000 to me, as we both know that's one of the 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.400 hardest things to do in football is to tackle somebody 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.160 in the open field. So I'll do to your point 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:21.720 saying that Dan McQuinn eat or dan quinn mc quinn 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.800 has definitely got the belief of these young boys, and 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:30.439 they're rolling. All right. We gotta take we gotta take 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.839 a break. There's one player that I almost feel has 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.880 been forgotten about, and we should not forget about this 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.000 player because this player has played a key role before 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.120 for the Dallas Cowboys. I'll tell you who it is. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.520 Danny mccraie. Will sit up here, pooh pooor I can 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.960 get do that next right here, the players.

Long time Cowboys report to 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.280 joined by two former Dallas Cowboys safeties, Buried Church and 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.960 Danny McCrae. Now Amari Cooper has been activated off the 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.080 physically unable to perform lists. He will be seeing some 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.960 practice time. Number nineteen who are talking about is Dallas 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:31.800 Cowboys number one wide receiver. See look at a disrespect man? 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.880 Who this man to the Cowboys from the Raiders, And 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.560 I say this man saved Jason Garrett's job. Save Jason 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.160 Garrett's job took the Cowboys to the playoffs, but people 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.720 have forgotten about that. But not me, baby, not me. 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.160 I'm there with you, Coop, the man pulling about the game. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:55.440 Yeah about fourth and five? Okay, all right, go ahead, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.880 And what was you about to say? What are you 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:02.880 about to say about my boy? I'm good. It's good 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.680 to know, Danny McCrae. Some trains run on time. I 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.600 bring up Cooper here comes to negativity trains. But that's okay, 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:15.000 that's okay. Coop understands what was it. Cooper understands what 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:16.880 it was going on, and that's why he said he's 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.639 about to have the best season of his career. He 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.840 is about to go ahead and get He about to 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.280 go out here and get his game on. And so 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.960 nineteen and eighty eight are going to have the potential, 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.879 in my opinion, the potential to have some big seasons 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.320 for the Cowboys. Look potential. I'm with you on that one. 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.040 I think, you know, definitely a CD. I think for 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.800 Shaw CD throughout this camp and you'll see the early 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.600 part of the season, I think CD will solidify himself 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.399 as being that number one option for Dak Prescott as 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.520 far as the passing game is concerned. But what I'm 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.400 what I'm seeing though, is you know, it's a lot 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.400 of you know, CD Lamb and Amari Cooper. We're gonna 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.280 do this, We're gonna do that. We're gonna destroy the game, 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.600 gonna be the best duo. We're gonna be the best 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.800 duo in the National Football League. But I thought this 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.080 was a trio. I thought this was the receiving crew 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.560 that's gonna all go over a thousand yards. Nobody can 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.720 stop us. Won't be amazing. People seem to forgot about Gallup. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.440 And it's not just people his own teammates seem to 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.360 have forgotten about can't. I don't. I don't think that's 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.359 the case, man, because because because this, this, this is 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.800 what happens. This is what we know about about Gallup. Okay, 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:31.200 there is a certain certain type of ball. No, yeah, yeah, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:32.840 just your just your thing a little bit. There's a 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:36.199 certain type of ball that h that Michael Gallup usually 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.120 makes a spectaclar play on, and that is the deep ball, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.400 usually on the sideline, not up through scene. Ceedee Lamb 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.520 is usually doesn't run those routes, and Mark Cooper usually 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.440 isn't running those routes. When you need a deep ball, 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.320 got to have it, it's Michael Gallups. So you're saying 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.160 he's a one trick pony. No, No, I'm just saying 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.080 he's not gonna be forgotten about it because we're gonna 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.880 be in situations where we need to have that deep 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.560 guy to have it passed, and Michael Gallop is going 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:01.840 to be the guy to go make that part. Do 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.080 you think do you think this will affect the room overall? Though? 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.400 Like if if ceedee, Lamb's getting first five games, ceede, 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.400 Lamb's got fifty targets, a Mark Cooper got sixty targets, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.200 and then you know he's sitting over there with Gallop 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.560 in a contract year. I might add in a contract 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.000 year with you know, fifteen targets here there. You don't 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.399 think that will affect the round. I think it will 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.200 affect the room, But I think that this is what 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.440 makes that a great leader, and I don't think that 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.320 he will allow that to become an issue. And I 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.040 don't see Michael Gallup only getting you know, fifteen twenty 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:31.880
