So just just shine 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.440 a light on those guys. We haven't won a super 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.640 Bowl in thirty years, so it's you have these stories 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.320 that still need to be told regardless. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.960 Absolutely, And we also got to mention he's not here today. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.040 He's on Good Morning Football because he's big time and 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.360 he's doing stuff.

Congratulations to all those on the team 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.800 who won. We've got some work to get back to, though, 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.800 and that's what it really is about. It's the regular season. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.719 But it is the regular season. Cowboys starting up man 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.480 finish their preseason at one and two. They got to 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.640 win to ended out thirty one to thirteen, the final 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.679 score over the Atlanta Falcons. Before we get into roster 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.159 cutdown day, that's coming up very quickly in the show, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.440 and we've got plenty to talk about there. What were 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.720 your initial reactions, Josh, to the game on Friday and 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.760 the step forward that it seemingly took from the Cowboys side. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.120 It was the first time because Schottenheimer has been preaching 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.400 physicality since he took over, this is the first time 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.600 I've seen the Dallas Cowboys be a physical team, more 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.360 physical than the opposing team since the Bucks game last year. 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.120 And that was like in the twilight of last season 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.440 when things were looking up and it's like, all right, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.080 you got a chance, and then they had a great 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.520 game against Sampa Bay and then it all came crashing 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.599 down after that when you realize that your depth just 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:13.560 wasn't there. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.320 And you've kind of seen that same thing. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.680 You know, like this team has felt kind of broken 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.559 in a lot of ways since the Green Bay playoff loss, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.840 and you just kind of see a sluggishness at times. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.800 You did not see that on on Friday. It was 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.520 It's such a weird game to have on a Friday night, 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:37.080 but but it is amazing to see a team that 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.400 is actually doing what coach Schottenheimer's talking about has been 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.320 preaching about. Granted, you're going up against third string second strings. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.080 I don't care, man, It's just nice to see the 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:46.360 oas Cowboys being physical. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.479 Yeah, absolutely, I agree with you, And especially in the trenches. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.120 I think there were some really good things to pull 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.599 away from there, just because there have been a little lapses, 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.719 especially with like young guys. But I think overall it 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.560 was really good to see, you know, some of those 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.960 young guys come alive, whether that be like a Augenie 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.359 Cornelius or you know, even looking deeper into the depth 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.919 James Houston on the defensive side of the ball, which 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:07.920 we're gonna talk about cut down to here, and yeah, 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.680 that's gonna be a fastest conversation one, but there's a 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.719 It was really good to see those things. And then 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.039 the receiver battle that last spot at receiver. It was 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.760 really interesting to see Jalen Brooks and Ryan Flinoy have 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.120 the knights that they did, because man, that's gonna be 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.400 if it were me. And when I did my fifty 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.760 three man projection yesterday, that was probably the second hardest 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.960 decision I had to make, was between one of those guys. 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.800 So really fascinating stuff on Friday night, and it was 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.680 good to see this team finally gonna win under their belt. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.680 It was you could tell in the locker room afterwards, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.479 Brian Schottenheimer saying, this is what winning should feel like. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.000 They had a little celebration. It was a preseason win, but. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:41.880 It was pulled the moneyball. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.200 That was kind of that's a winning field, that's. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.440 What that's what it should feel like. The whole scenario 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.360 felt like it was a practice for how they are 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.640 going to win in the future. You know, when they 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.040 went in the locker room, They're like, we're going to 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.680 establish this now. I'm a first year head coach. I 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.680 want to make it feel like it's a party in 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.000 the locker room, even if it's a preseason game, because 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.440 that's what it should feel like. Winning should feel good, 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.120 and that clips on Dallas Cowboys social channels now. But 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.640 I did like that. I liked some of the individual 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.400 performances we had. Perry On Winfrey I thought a great game. Uh, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.800 he was great on the interior for the majority of 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.080 that the four quarters. I thought the first half the 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.000 run defense was very impressive. They allowed just one point 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.680 six yards per carry through the first two quarters, ten 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.960 carries for sixteen yards. On the I think it was 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:29.760 I don't even know if that's the math. Is that 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.760 the right math? Yeah? One point six? Yeah, okay, so 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.840 ten carries for sixteen yards. Yeah, I know it's early. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:42.320 The U Yeah, I'm bad at multiplying. Actually I've got triplets. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:49.120 But anyways, the commers, yeah right. The conversation then turns 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.560 to the backup quarterback scenario. Did Joe Milton play well 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.720 enough for you to have any sort of sort of 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.120 hope going forward? I don't think it changes much for 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.800 me in that whole conversation, But did it change anything 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:02.760 for you the way he played? 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.200 I think some optimism that you can pull out of 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.200 that is I think they figured out how to get 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.080 him off to a good start. Yes, if Joe Milton 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.840 has a good start, then you start to see the 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.520 consistency build up a little bit. I think you talked 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.480 to him after the game in the locker room during 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.360 those two losses where he had rough starts. He always 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.400 mentions it, it's like rough start, rough start, And then 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.280 set and Harry were like, yeah, wish we didn't have 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.720 the rough start. And so you really liked those good 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.520 first quarters out of guys. Joe Milton certainly had it. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.600 They started off with fourteen points in that first frame, 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.480 and it really allowed him to settle in a lot 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.719 quicker than he did in those first two games, so 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.319 much so that they pulled it with nine minutes left 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:41.800 in the third quarter. They're like, all right, we've seen 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.440 what we need to see. But I liked how he 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.920 used his legs that fourth and one read option scamper, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.719 where he was able to get away and Princeton fan 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.480 was leading the way downfield, very physically leading the way downfield. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.240 That was really good to see. And then you know 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.200 he was able to his footwork. He was a little 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.960 bit cleaner. It's gonna take time with Joe Milton. That footwork, 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.520 those footwork issues take years to develop. And I think 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.760 something to also keep in mind with Joe Milton is 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.839 we're starting to see a lot of these Tennessee quarterbacks 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.679 not pan out here in the NFL. Hendon Hooker got 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.400 released by the Lions yesterday, And you know, I'm not 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.160 gonna sit here and say that like the system is 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.800 bad going into the league, but I think one thing 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.839 to keep in mind is maybe Joe Milton didn't get 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.800 the development at the college level that some of these 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.520 other guys have had, and so you know, if they 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.920 were able to do that within this year and Dak 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.400 Prescott's can stay healthy for seventeen games, then I really 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.400 do think Joe Milton this time next year could be 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.520 ready to step into that backup role with optimism. As 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.280 of right now, I still don't have a lot of optimism. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.880 If he needed to play a three four game stretch 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.400 this year, you would really be holding your breath as 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.040 a Cowboys fan. But I think if he can sit 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.960 and learn and Prescott can stay healthy this year, then 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.959 it's gonna be beneficial for this team. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:52.480 Absolutely. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.040 I know you're talking about getting him off to a 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.520 good start. Let's hope he doesn't have any starts this year. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:58.600 Let's just start there. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.720 Seventeen for seventeen, will and you know, make it happy 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.640 and all the respect in the world to him, because 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.360 I thought he had a great game. I thought he 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.520 was playing comfortably. It was very much like I mean, 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.079 he didn't like that the scoreboard or anything. I'm not 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.200 trying to say excellent game. Yeah it was ten for 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.840 eighteen or whatever, but I just mean it looked like 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.000 he was playing football and not the mind games that 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:18.560 he's play been playing. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.320 With for the last two weeks. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.160 It just felt like he was comfortable playing football. And 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.320 case in point was that very first drive when we 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.400 go down the field and he just kind of scampers 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.319 in for a quick touchdown. It was not about him 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.040 going through every single read. It was like, Okay, this 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.840 read is not there. I'm just gonna take the easy win. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.319 I'm going to get the score. It felt like that 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.600 throughout the game, where he was just making really not 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.920 conservative decisions, but the right decision. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.480 Yeah. I hope this is the last conversation we have 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.360 on Joe Milton in a long time because of that, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.200 you know, because it's dack All the way through the 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:51.760 regular season. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.439 Why an't we just talking about how he's doing what 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:53.960 he doing? 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:54.160 Man? 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:55.520 I mean we could, yeah, we get ask him how 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.240 he's yeah, you know, just like check up on him 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.760 and sure he's good. But I hope this is the 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.600 last backup quarterback conversation we have. I hope it's been 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.720 the entire preseason. I know people who out there are 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.600 tired of it. We have to talk about it though, 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.640 kind of like what we outlined in the last show 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.920 is because it has been a topic of conversation these 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.560 last couple of years. Hopefully after this it's over. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:15.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah, We're good. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.120 Dak is doing his thing, he's playing, this is his offense, 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.320 his team, let's go. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.240 I would say if a year like twenty twenty three 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.959 for Dak Prescott were to happen again, sure, that would 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.440 be so great for Joe Milton for multiple reasons, not 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:30.800 only in the sense that he doesn't have to start 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.320 a game, but you think about all those fourth quarters 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.079 that Cooper Rush had to play that year. If Joe 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.200 Milton can just get in games and reps, get snaps, 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.439 I mean, that would be huge for him too. But yeah, 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:40.240 I'm with you, I'm with you. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.640 Kayle Well, and you know it's funny you say it 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.640 that way. I thought one of the best things that 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.360 could have happened in the preseason this year for Will 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.160 Greer was Joe Milton to play well, because if you 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.559 think about it, yeah, everybody's like, oh, Will Greer was 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.120 in a competition for that QB two battle. I don't 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.600 think that was ever really the case for this coaching staft. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.720 As soon as I was traded for Joe Milton, they 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.880 it was confirmation by us the entire time. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.720 He's not going anywhere now. He Even if Joe Milton 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.760 loses the quarterback two spot, it's not going to be 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.680 the Will Greed. It's going to be the mister outside 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:14.199 higher and another opportun opportunistic veteran that can come in 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.760 and play immediately. Will Greer was never going to be 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.679 the number two quarterback on this roster, but he could 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:20.680 have been the number three quarterback. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.319 Hey, which one of these quarterbacks has the Superowl ring? 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.360 It is Will Gear But that being said, just for 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.760 a split second in Philly. For all of that being said, 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.360 Will Greer did his job throughout the the off season 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.000 and throughout the preseason, showed that, hey, he still belongs 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.800 in an NFL camp somewhere, but he was never going 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.880 to be the QB too. It is just part of it. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.880 And I think if Will Greer were to get booted 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.280 off of this roster, Joe Milton's still on the roster 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.160 because they've invested in him, They're going to allow him 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.000 to grow, they would boot Will Greer to bring in 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.079 somebody else to try and be that that backup quarterback. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.839 Hopefully that's not the case. Maybe it is. Maybe they 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.160 find somebody that they bring in and Will Gear can 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.079 fit on this team. So where, But it's a lot 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.400 of times for backup quarterbacks the best thing for them 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.239 is for the guy in front of them to remain successful. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.720 It's to your point with Dak and Joe Milton roster cutdowns, 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.480 they're here, some of them are. Anyways. Yeah, let's let's 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.320 go through some of the names that have been reported 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.680 and released as the Cowboys start their their trek toward 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.160 the fifty three man roster. Here are the names that 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.440 are on Dallas Cowboys dot com right now, released and 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.400 waved by the By the way, there is a difference, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.880 we can go through that in a minute. Released is 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:37.600 Lyle Collins, Waved is Nick Broker, Denzel Jackson, Josh Kelly, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.920 Tyler Nevill Troy Pride, John Stephen Juniors and then wave 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.360 injured was Christian Matthew. Any of those names pop off 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:44.920 the lists so. 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.800 Far, maybe not pop off the list, but a couple 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.160 that I were maybe surprised to see in the first 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.840 wave or Troy Pride and John Stevens. Troy Pride I 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.920 thought knocked on the door of making this roster, but 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.920 I think Andrew Booth's second preseason game really put him 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.240 over the edge. And then whenever Booth got the ball 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.360 cap on the sideline for preseason game three, I think 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.240 that kind of told you where Pride was headed. But 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.600 a really physical player in camp. I think he'll land 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.520 on a practice squad either here or somewhere else and 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.840 be really good. And then John Stevens man, that's just 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:13.520 a tough story. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:14.040 You know. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.000 You go back to the training camp in twenty twenty three, 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.480 it was so much fun getting to see him, you know, 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.800 really shine out there in Oxnard, and he was electric. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.400 Tours ACL came back last year for training camp, did 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.400 the same thing tours ACL again and then it sounds 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.000 like he's been dealing with some knees so ons as 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.600 well in that same knee. So it's it's it's tough, 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.160 and you know, you hope he rebounds, whether that's on 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.760 the field or off the field. But wishing the best 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.320 for John Stevens just wanted to shot him out. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:40.120 No, absolutely, I'm in addition to him, Tyler Neville, who's 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.760 someone who has a great story, who had a decent camp. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.480 I feel like he had spurts where he was actually 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:46.040 like really good. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.440 But it's another one of those. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.120 Great stories that you hope works out, you know. And 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.040 I think these are two guys that you could definitely 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.480 get in your practice squad. I mean just just guessing here. 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.720 I was kind of standing last week. I was sitting 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.680 on the ta for the experience and familiarity of Alile Collins. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:08.680 But after watching you know, Atlanta, this Atlanta game, I understand, uh, 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.320 there wanting to emphasize their young talent and keep generating 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.720 their their talent with a guy like a Jeannie Johnny 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:22.440 Johnny Cornelie who had an excellent game, excellent game, So 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.000 you understand why they want to develop a guy like that. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.360 If he ends up on the roster if he doesn't, 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.120 I you know, you understand that too, Uh, Troy Pride 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.440 made a big play, but didn't make a big play. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.640 You kind of there's just a mental laps there obviously, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.160 But I think he was, like you said, he was 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.800 physical in camp. So a few names, but I don't 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.440 think there's any big surprise here. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.800 Yeah, safety right? Was that that was a safety right? Yes, 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.960 destroy Pride. It would have absolutely had to play counted. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.920 He like caught it and backward momentum did not take 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.120 him to the into the end zone. And I was 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.480 sit there watching it live, I was like. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.120 I think all of us, all of us in the 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.160 press box were looking at it the same way of 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.360 like he caught that ball with like the five. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.720 Yard line and he totally ran into the He could have. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.720 Turned and cut easily, but he just kind of like 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.160 floated in. It's like, I mean, either that or his 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.640 agility is like a negative seven on Matt like, and 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.520 I don't think that's the case. I just think if 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.480 if you're if you're gonna say his momentum carried him 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.960 into the end zone, I was like, I don't know 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:22.720 about that one. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:24.720 That was He's lucky. The play didn't care. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.640 That was the first conversation. Is because of the penalty beforehand, 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.520 that that penalty wouldn't have happened, and maybe maybe the 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.720 officials are lucky that it didn't happen too. They're like, ah, 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.360 we could just call Pal'll be fine, because then they're 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:39.800 gonna have to go back and sort through whether or 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.600 not that was a safety or preseason weird scenarios. They 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.920 pop up all the time, but that one was a 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:47.600 little extra. I was like, why are you taking to 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.160 me in the back of the zone. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.440 He like celebrat on that, and it was just like, everybody, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:53.480 what are we doing? 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:55.520 Everybody? 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.520 That was That was an interesting one going back to. 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:03.360 That's and I made the team. Yeah, like the places. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.440 Rain falling down. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.800 That was Israel mcwama with so far interception. He was 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.440 like throwing his helmet in the stands. He's like, I 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.200 made this hard. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:16.560 Cut to cut days he's shouldn't have done that. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.000 Back to Lyle Collins, I thought some some of the 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.560 local media was tweeting about it and saying he never 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.359 really had a chance to make the roster and he 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.119 never was given the opportunity. I think it's more so 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.439
