Yeah, it's pretty nice. 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:29.000 Right when I wanted so when I walked in, the 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.240 first thing I said to him, like, obidell your homework 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.360 on this RAMS defense because I just see a lot 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.479 of similarities between this Rams defense name wise, and let's 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.440 say I don't know the Arizona Diamondbacks. You're not following along. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.480 There's bunch of names you're probably not gonna know. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.040 Yeah, yeah, the Arizona Diamondbacks. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.400 That's still they're in the World Series right, still, They're 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.280 still formidable. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.160 I'm literally I would love for someone to reach out 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.520 tell us. I would love to know of a team 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.960 with less name recognition on it than that air Arizona Diamonbacks. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.880 It's made it to a championship a series. I will 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.840 say that, Well, I'm just gonna stick with because the 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.320 ones that followed the most are baseball, football, and basketball. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.280 But I would man that that that lineup, I mean, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.160 of course there's like Evan Longoria, but the rest of 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.280 that crew is it's. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.040 Like an old Evan Longoria. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.440 Though now I'm just talking about like nay recognition, where 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.880 just baseball fans will be like, oh yeah, yeah, no, 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:22.799 I know this guy is good. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.600 There's very little That's what I was going to point out. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:26.960 I was watching I think it was game five or 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.799 game six of that series, and Evan Longoria is in 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:29.240 the eight hole. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.919 I was like, wait, Evan Lo, when did he get here? 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:33.920 Yeah? 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.720 That was I think I was very early in the series. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.400 It was the nl d S and I was like, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.520 I didn't even know he was still playing nonetheless playing well. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:42.760 And that's exactly what. 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.680 They don't even think of an NFL team that's made 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.880 the super Bowl with that little name wreck. I mean 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:53.720 maybe maybe the Panthers that year that they they lost 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.560 to Brady with like j J. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:02.320 Yeah, but then even then they had they had some 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.920 guys on that defense then, right, I don't know, so 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:06.120 long ago, that. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.480 Was so long a Seahawks team with what was like 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.600 hassleback that was starting or am I losing my mind? 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.440 And this was like six. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.000 Seahawks ever go to the super Bowl in the mid 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.720 two thousands. Sean Alexander was on the team. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.440 Yeah you did? Yeah, Oh yeah, the ball we're gonna score? 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:24.440 Yeah that one. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.480 Hey, I should know that Super Bowl is Indy treading 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.160 the Steelers. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:28.919 Yeah, you're right, Oh man, I forgot. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.519 Yeah, that one's that's a go one too, man. Yeah, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:31.320 that was pretty rough. 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:32.359 Yeah. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.880 Recently there's been name recognition because either one side had 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.840 Tom Brady for the most part, or the other side 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.960 had somebody that was really like an MVP or something even. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.440 Like it made a bunch of moves that are a 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.800 bunch of I mean, heck, this RAMS team going to 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.600 the super Bowl. All the moves that they made to 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.920 get them to that point, you know, moves they made. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.080 I thought I said something wrong. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.120 They did. They're aggressive. You said something right, Yes, that 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.080 would be Isaiah perked up real quick. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.840 It's just wild. That just tends to be the commonality 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.640 around these parts. People would be aggressive, they go get guys, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:05.920 and they automatically just end up in. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.000 A in the bowl game. It's almost like we we 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:08.640 talked about this. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.800 I like that he used commonality because I said that 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.480 word yesterday and immediately after I said, I'm like, make 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.400 sure it works. Make let me make sure this is 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:20.159 an actual word. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.720 That's funny. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.200 It is very much good AP style book. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:30.640 Yeah, uh, nick and uh let's do some news and notes. Yeah, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.279 we'll say, well, I was gonna say nick and nick, 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.160 nick and or news and notes. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:36.280 It was just like a bunch of bens. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:42.479 Yeah, we'll get out here. Look at tomorrow. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.000 We'll try it again on Friday. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.080 We could start with probably the shortest injury report in 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.320 the history of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:51.200 That's not a fact. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.560 But I was talking with somebody and uh, I was 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.560 talking with somebody in p R yesterday and that they 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.960 couldn't recall a practice report as slim as this one 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.720 since at least twenty fifteen, so. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:02.600 It's been a while. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.960 There was only one player on the injury report yesterday, 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.160 and it was one Yay Thomas, who obviously missed a 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.400 Chargers game with the hamstring injury. And he was a 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.440 full participant. And the only reason he was on there 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.400 is because he missed the Chargers game. If not, he 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.320 wouldn't have even been on there. So basically a negated 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.360 practice report yesterday. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.640 Everybody's healthy on the fifty three. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.960 Man, I've never seen anything like that. I've been covering 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.679 teams of twenty eleven. We get these email to us, 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.120 you know, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I have never seen one 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.200 with only one name on it. And I'm talking even 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.160 at the beginning of a season much less you know, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.680 now they're coming out of the buy That obviously helps. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.279 But when I got that email, I was kind of like, 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.680 is this wrong? Like the only I mean, the only 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.039 way to beat that would be is if they sent 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.520 one out and there was no names on there, and 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.600 I've definitely never seen anything like that. But then even 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.000 the fact that you know, it seems like Juan Yer 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.279 is on track, it's not. I mean, he was full 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.920 listen is full participants, So that's a good sign there too. Now, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.240 obviously when we say that that's not counting you know, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.200 Trayvon Diggs is out for the season, Leyton Vanders is 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.520 on IRE, like, that's not counting them, because I feel 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.280 like sometimes be tweeted out everybody's available in that that 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.000 some people wonder, all, does that mean latent too, No, 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.000 it doesn't. He's he's on IR. So when you're on IR, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.800 you're not in that week to week like update on 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.440 what your status is in practice. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:12.920 Obviously. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.240 What it does include, though, are the guys that have 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.560 been dealing with with nagging injuries. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.280 Zach Martin offensive the first one. 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:20.520 I thought. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.159 Offensive Line just really across the board. It's awesome to 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:25.360 see nobody out there. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:25.640 Now. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.120 Thursday's really been the trouble practice. Thursday's been the one 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.280 where something has popped up. So, I mean, we got 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.120 to knock on our wooden plank here just to make 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:35.560 sure that. 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:36.560 When's that coming. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.479 By the way, I figured that's why you paid the phone. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.280 I was kind of interested to see if, like Michael 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:47.000 McCarthy prefers obviously to practice on grass, and we haven't 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.279 gone inside at all this year yet for a practice, 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.359 and I thought that today might be the day. With 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.400 the rain and then walking in here, i mean, all 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.880 the stuff's set up outside, so I'm thinking they're going 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.680 to keep going outside. And obviously he does that because 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.920 of a lesser chance of injury in that. So yeah, 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:03.400 we were. 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.760 We had just come back in after the media portion 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.559 of practice yesterday, which for the audience is typically about 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.520 twenty twenty five minutes that we get right at the 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.880 beginning of practice, and as soon as we came. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.080 Out, it started pouring down. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.440 Right now. I was like, oh, they're about to go inside. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.800 They stayed out there the whole time, and the field 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:18.240 looks good. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.640 I mean, yeah, it being this far into the season, 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.680 there's been times where you know, you walk around by 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.280 the natum up there and you look down You're like, man, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.760 this thing ain't gonna make it till the end of 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.440 the year. Put a new one down at thinking towards 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:29.640 the end of last season, Yeah. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:30.520 It was right at the end of the y. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.720 Yeah, and I don't know if I mean, I'm not 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.320 a grass expert, which Mike McCarthy is. He's super into 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:35.800 this stuff. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.320 But uh, Beamer, what's the what's our? I guess our? 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.560 I don't know what his title is. The guy who 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.280 handles all the landscaping out there, what's his name? 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:44.960 The grass pert? 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:46.520 Chris Chris. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:47.440 He's doing a great job. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.960 He's he's been around since I was around. That dude's amazing. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:51.720 And what was it when they've. 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:52.640 Brought in a guy as well? 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.720 I was about to say a consultant as well, because 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.120 we were having grass problems. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.120 It was a consultant that deals with the world up. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:01.320 Yeah. 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.240 It was one of those things that back in the day, 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:03.800 or not. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.520 Back in the day. Just there yesterday reading an article. 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.720 Aund they were at the stadium this week I think 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:11.200 it was Monday. 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:11.840 They've been around. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.680 So for people that have never been to the Star, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.800 just so you know, I mean, for one, the Texas 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.960 sun is going to be down on some grass. That's 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.720 so that's your line. One. The other is that these 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.480 two fields are in the middle of these these three 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.880 buildings that are all covered in glass, So that's just 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.000 reflecting that sun even more off. So when I talk 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.000 about this, I'm not just it's not just like keeping 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.360 your front lawn green, like it's tough to keep and 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.400 then they're wear and tear for how much that Mike McCarthy, 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.559 I mean, he won't say this publicly, but I bet 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.160 he would prefer both of the fields out there being grass, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:48.679 you know. I mean, that's what the way it was 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.400 in Green Bays used to price it on grass and 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.280 stuff like that, and then obviously have the turf inside 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.360 at the forward center. But everything looks like it's going 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.000 pretty good out there, and I imagine they're going to 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.719 stay out there even because that's the thing too, is 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.720 that people thing, oh why would they be out there today, 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.760 Like they're going to be playing inside on Sunday, But 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.560 they're trying to get They want to be on the 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.040 grass as much as possible, you know, that's always it's 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.400 that's a big thing with like teams like Bill Belichick. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.920 I think that before they played somebody that was indoors, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.120 it was raining outside, and he's like, everyone, we're going 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.240 outside and they and they practiced in the rain, and 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.840 obviously not the greatest of field conditions, and a lot 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.440 of people were why would you do that? You're about 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.400 to play, But it's more than just about that opponent, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:25.640 you know. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.720 Yeah mentioned too. Yeah even had somebody upstairs. I don't 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.920 remember who said it, but somebody asked that yesterday. It 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.080 wasn't one of the media side of things. It was 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.880 one of the business side. And they even asked there 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.320 like why they're playing at at and t like this 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.920 the roof's going to be closed, like why are they outside? 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.240 And sure enough, I mean, they kept rolling all the 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.520 way through it. And like you said, DFW got a lot. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.560 Of rain over the last twenty four hours, a significant downpour, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.079 especially through the night last night, and the Star was 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.439 hit by that. But they're still out there, They're still rolling, 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.640 They've got all the equipment and should be ready to go. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.240 H only time I've seen him go in this year 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.760 was in the middle of a practice two weeks ago, 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.319 maybe going I can't remember it was. Yeah, it was 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.240 before the chargers came. So yeah, that was the only 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.360 time they've ever gone in. And they started outside and 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.160 then moved inside whenever the lightning. 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:16.880 Yeah. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.960 The other thing that factors into is that because of 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.360 those three buildings be around. It gets real windy out there, yes, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.240 and so yeah for Brandon Aubrey, I'm sure he doesn't 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.760 love kicking in that, but yeah, it's been real windy. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.520 Good practice, right, yeah, perfect practice makes perfect. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.400 There was one day last week when the wind was 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.520 just cooking in that in that wind tunnel on the 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.160 practice field, and he would aim at almost right of 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.520 the goalposts and it would just come around all the. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.479 Way left and it was it was hilarious. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.760 Speaking on that note, This wasn't my next note, but 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.160 since we're on the point of Brandon Aubry, I go 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.520 ahead to bring it up. He did mention yesterday that 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.960 his personal best inside the Star is sixty eight yards 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.840 and that outside on those fields in the notorious wind tunnel, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:56.960 it's fifty five yards. 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.880 So I feel like throwing that out there. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.160 Just because we saw I think it was in the 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.120 Jets game where he had an opportunity for a sixty 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.480 six yard or yea, the fall start moving him back 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.920 and they ended up punting. But I don't know, would 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.800 y'all be comfortable if he was to roll out for 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.240 sixty eight on Sunday? 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.120 We're part of the game, Yeah, who knows, who knows, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:15.960 who knows. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.920 If it's you know, going into halftime or something like that, 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.199 why not in a game. 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.199 Yeah, I mean I wouldn't say comfortable. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.680 I think, yeah, excuse me. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.280 When he was talking to I think you mentioned about 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.680 how his hope is that they can just get the 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.360 ball on the r side of the fifty. Yeah, if 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.520 it's in you know, late game situation like that, I 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.080 would say, if he can kick sixty eight in practice, 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.640 I think that he probably could make a seventy yard 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.760 or if he had to. I'm not saying he's he's 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.079 going to, but I'm saying if he had to march 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.240 him out there for it, it's got a chance, just 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.319 because I think he'd be a little bit more amped 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:47.920 up with a crowd around you than it hit sixty 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.800 eight with nobody around inside the Ford Center. So yeah, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.199 it would be interesting. But I don't I mean, heck, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.120 they trotted him out there for a sixty six yarder 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:57.720 and we're going to kick it up until a point 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.160 where there was I think it was a false start 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.040 right before halftime. So yeah, but I bean comfortable thinking like, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.960 oh yeah, let's go get something to drink. This one's 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.800 in no, but yeah, but I think he's got a chance. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:08.040 You know. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.240 Mike McCarthy talked about that. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.000 A little bit after that. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.720 That opportunity arose where it was a sixty six yarder 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.000 and everybody's like, why would you even attempt this? 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.600 And he tried it out the field goal unit. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.280 It was in a game that at that point it 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.200 was out of hand, right, I'm trying to remember why. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:25.880 Yeah, yeah, because it was out of hand. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.679 And he said, you know, I mean just the confidence 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.880 level that that gives to a kicker one to say, hey, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:32.880 we're willing to try this. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.720 If you say you're good, let's do it. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:35.720 Let's try it out there. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.360 But two, it's almost a mental rep or a rep 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.680 in general, if you actually physically go through and kick 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.480 it to see just how close you. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.679 Are from sixty six yards. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.040 So that way, whenever a playoff scenario comes down and 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.160 something like that happens, it's an end of game scenario, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.480 you've at least seen it before, because then you can 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.960 be more calculated in your decision making whether to do 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:56.360 it or whether not to do it. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.240 Down the line whenever things matter more. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.040 So, I like it if if the opportunity arise, it 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.680 arises at some point throughout the season, and it's not 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.240 going to hurt the outcome of the game. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.520 I think that's the number one thing. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.200 And I don't think they would do it if they 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.640 thought it would hurt the outcome of the game. But 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.960 if it doesn't have a direct impact on it, Yeah, 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:15.760 why not, that's cry. 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.640 He'd probably feel more comfortable with their with the Cowboys 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.319 kicker than the Rams kicker right now. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.520 M probably yeah, yeah, probably. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:22.760 Yeah. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.040 They just brought in somebody new. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:25.000 Yeah. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.760 Well, and they had been Brett Maher and they just recently, Yeah, they. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.240 Just cut their guy, right, he actually had a good start. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:38.360 It's it's really difficult Lucas have. I don't know, we're 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:39.920 gonna need the pronunciation guy on something. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.679 I don't really know about that. Fine, I don't know 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.600 anything about about this guy. All I know is that 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.760 they moved down from Brett Maher, who obviously was the 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:46.760 Cowboys kicker last year. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.560 Yeah. Yeah, I think Brett missed an extra point in 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.560 two field goals on Sunday and they just said, yeah, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.520 you know, and he had actually had a pretty decent 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.920 start to the season, like he was a lot of volume, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.200 he had had a lot of reps and he was 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.960 he was doing alright with it. Next news and note 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.680 running backs coach Jeff Blasco. That will make this one quick. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.359 But he is back with the team. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.839 He was out. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.319 I think it was since training camp, like towards the 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.560 end of training camp is when he left with a 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.120 health issue. But Mike McCarthy said yesterday in his press 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.360 conference that he's back with the team. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:14.839 So obviously good news. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.200 Happy for Jeff Blasco to be back in the building 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.400 and back doing what he loves. But I had a 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.720 question proposed to me on Twitter whenever I tweeted that out. 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.400 So it's like, Okay, now that the running back coach 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:24.720 is here, does that mean there's gonna be a lot 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.960 more a lot different utilization for running backs? 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.160 And no, that is not the case. 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.040 The running backs coach responsibilities they were shared by like 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:36.160 a handful of offensive coaches while Blasco was out and 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.040 him coming back in has nothing to do with the 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.240 utilization through six games. So it's more so Mike McCarthy 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.360 making the schematic choices in the running back coach. It's 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.000 his job to make sure that they're fulfilled. So don't 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.200 expect any big changes there and I don't know if 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.440 you'll have any thoughts on that, but. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.240 You have any thoughts position coach wise, I mean, how 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.000 much of an impact do they make in scheme choices. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.880 I don't know with this team, what about what you 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.040 deal with dealt with When I was here, we had 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.720 Skip Peete, and Skip Pete was one heck of a coach. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.800 They elected to not bring Skip Pete back. I know 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.960 he had a tremendous impact on the group, but I 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.680 was a part of it, and I would imagine that 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.760 he had a tremendous impact on Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:18.440 in years past. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.720 Yeah, I mean he had input. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.840 I mean what he said his word was bond and 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.840 I know the coaches listened. At least when I was around, 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.960 coaches listened to what he had to say. His insight, 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.840 his knowledge of the game, his responsibility as a standard 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.600 that he healed guys too when they came off the field, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.080 if they had a bad carry, bad decision, bad read, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.240 He got off in their butt. It wasn't a pat 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.360 on the back, Oh you're okay, Like he held you 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.400 accountable and you didn't want to make a mistake because 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.240 you were representing him at all times, so I can't 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.400 speak to what they have now, but that's my experience. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.760 And he's over with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now. He 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.240 got plucked pretty quickly and he's been with the Bucks 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:58.640 since the Cowboys let him go. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.520 But not that Namba shouldn't about other than us. But yeah, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.000 he was always great with the media too, So I'm like, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.120 I always been a big fan on and off the record. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.480
