And what you got 18 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: for is big dog. Yes, I did have to put 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: on a light jacket, and yesterday when we interviewed Dak Prescott, 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: it got cold when I didn't have a jacket, man, 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: so I was I was hurting, So not today, baby. 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: I made sure I brought my light jacket today. Well, 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: here's the thing about the padded practice, and I'll start 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: with the most important thing, which was number four. We're 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: sitting out here wondering where is Dak as they start 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: going into the team drills, and Dak ended up leaving 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: the football field and went with the trainers and says 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: he's got some shoulder sword is here, so he's gonna 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: take a couple of days off. And just looking at 30 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: my note to Mike McCarthy said that it's not a 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: high concern at all. He said that Dad didn't want 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: to leave the practice field, but they McCarthy wanted him 33 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: to go ahead and leave the field. And he said 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Dak will still do all the drill work today, and 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: he said it's a good opportunity for them to catch 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: a fatigue injury, so they're not worried about Dak Prescott 37 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: long term. And when we spoke to Dak, he just said, hey, 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: look I noticed a little He noted something two days ago, 39 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: and then yesterday at the paddent practice he noticed the 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: strain again and he just decided that he was going 41 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: to be cost So for all Cowboy nation out there, 42 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: and for people you know, basically were NFL fans across them, 43 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: you know, the nation who want to know, hey, what's 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: going on with the Cowboys in number four? They say 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: he'll be fine and in a couple of days expecting 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: to be out there now based on that, let me 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: tell Church. I don't know if I could break it 48 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: to you, just but just tell you the truth. Okay, 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: double G did Dot look good? In fact, none of 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboy backups look good at all. Yesterday five picks 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: in the padded practice. Okay, five fives. As a group 52 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: they threw five. It was as a group. It was 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: a group. Don't worry. Juanucci made sure he got he 54 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: got something in there too. But I was sitting around 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: with Nate Newton, former three times Super Bowl champion two 56 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: days ago, and when we were looking at at the backups, 57 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I said, hey, man, Dack's backup is not all this roster. 58 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: He's out on this roster, and yesterday I think just 59 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: proved it one more time. Then unless these guys do 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: something amazing in preseason, I think they're going to sit 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: up here and possibly be looking Now, the good thing 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: about the backups having an opportunity with DA being out 63 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: the next few days, they're gonna get they're gonna get 64 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: their shot. We'll see exactly what they can do. But yesterday, man, 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: it was not good at all. And I'll also be fair, 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: Mark Cooper has not been in practice. He has a 67 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: practice camp started, and then Michael Gallup sat out because 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: of his ankle, and Gallup will be out again today. 69 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: So you didn't have you two really good receivers out there. 70 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: But still five picks. He's just unaccepted. Five picks. That is, 71 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: that's a lot of intercessions, especially as a group. And 72 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: and look, I know, you know Garret Gilbert, he's more 73 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: of a gamer, so I expect him to you know, 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna arrive when that Hall of Fame games and 75 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: the spotlights on him. He's more of a gamer. So 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the practice. He's gonna go out 77 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: there and shine. But I wanted to ask you just 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: knew he is. Do you see that as just a 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: lack of talent or skill in the backup back position 80 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: or do you see it as our defense communicating well, 81 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: flying around to the ball and actually taking the ball away. 82 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: Do you see that as a good sign for our 83 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: defense or is it just man? These backups are that 84 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: much below Dak Prescott's ability. I think if you have 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: been one of those who's been sold on Dan Quinn 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: coming in here and being mixed mister Pixett, I would say, 87 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: so far, you should feel really good. These guys are communicating, 88 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: they're talking. Mike McCarthy had spoken about the press competent 89 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: and just wrapped up out here. I also believe that 90 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: there's a pride factor here that maybe we haven't given 91 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: enough credit to for the Cowboys. Then guys who were 92 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: here on this team last year understood that that just 93 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: wasn't acceptable. It wasn't good, and even more importantly, something 94 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: we've all talked about here on the players on tracts 95 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: by hotels dot com. Because there's competition, man, you know 96 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 1: this was sacred Cows. Then guys are right here fighting 97 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: for jobs. That hasn't always been the case here with 98 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys the past few seasons, and I like that 99 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to get up here and earn 100 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: a spot. Yeah, I agree with you on a hundred sin. 101 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about it all last season how 102 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: it felt like this defense just didn't have any accountability. 103 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: It was you know, I missed that player or somebody 104 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: else will go get that play. And we've seen it 105 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: even in our safety last year. Xavier was when he said, hey, 106 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: you can't expect us to go one hundred miles an 107 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: hour one hundred percent all the time. And that's that 108 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: was just basically a microcosm of what this defense was. 109 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: They were just you know, there weren't accountable and they 110 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: were letting things slide. And we saw that on our 111 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: play on the field. So I love what dan Quinn 112 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: has done so far this offseason, bringing in competition on 113 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: all three levels. I mean, we've seen the additions on 114 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: the d tackle and the linebackers. We got Parsons, Cox, 115 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: all those guys in there, and now we make it 116 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: even more. It just breeds competition, and I've always been 117 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: a believer that competition brings the best out of all 118 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: these players. So hopefully, as things were finally starting to 119 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: click for this defense, because they got the potential, they 120 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: got the skill to be able to go out there 121 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: and be a you know, mediocre even you know, like 122 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: McRae would say, a top ten defense but we just 123 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: got to see it out there. I think last year 124 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: they were too confused out there, and hopefully they simplified 125 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: the defense a little bit. And these guys are just 126 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: flying from A to B and not just worrying about 127 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: thinking too much out there. There's a buying factor, and 128 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: the buying factor was not there. Okay, let's just be honest. 129 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: The buying factor wasn't there. Bare you played in this 130 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: league and guys have to believe in what the defense is, 131 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: believing in the coordinator, you know, just have an overall belief. 132 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: It was like, Hey, this coach is putting me in 133 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 1: the best position and it's gonna help me win some games. 134 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that was the case of Mike Nolan. 135 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: They at all last tear well. I will say this, 136 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: do you believe that having that full offseason, having that 137 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: OTA's Mini camp and out training camp and we're gonna 138 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: have preseason game, do you think that also played a 139 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: role in how these guys seem to be flying around 140 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 1: right now? I do. I believe that, But I also 141 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: I also believe that what do they say, the strength 142 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,119 Speaker 1: of the pack is with the leader, and the leader 143 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: is Dan Quinn, who's coming out here with energy and 144 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: coming out here with a sense of focus. And I 145 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: so far I see that translator. I think that the 146 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: way Mike Nolan kind of went about things is kind 147 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: of how they looked. And yeah, so hitting your hands 148 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: on these guys and helps. Mike McCarthy's admitted that last 149 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: year they didn't really have a good program in place 150 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: to deal with the pandemics as much as they could have. 151 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: So I am I am cautiously optimistic of what I've 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: seen so far. And I said cautiously because I've been 153 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: fooled before, and because if Bush once said can't get 154 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: food again, so can't get food again. We were both 155 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: on that train. But I'm still about looking at the 156 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: defensive tackles, see what they're doing here. And that's the 157 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: benefit of having a guy like Nate Newt to practice. 158 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: I was trying to go watch practice with people who 159 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: are experienced the people who haven't understanding what's going on. 160 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: And so they had talked about just looking at a 161 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: couple of the offensive line here and a couple of 162 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: defensive line. Number seventy five Pulso, a diggy looser from UCLA. 163 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: That's a guy that then I'm gonna keep looking out 164 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: for I keep looking out at big Ball hand in 165 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: number ninety eight, and they took up from Memphis Yard 166 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: and Nevin Alamore number ninety six. I think Gallimore is 167 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: a guy that we've all talked about. It looks as 168 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: though he's going to be able to have that second 169 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: year improvement. And some of these guys in their second year, 170 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna have the ability to help this defense out. 171 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: I look at trade is in his second year, and 172 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: we'll be full, you know when you think about it too. 173 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: Now these guys are and they're real first you know, 174 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: pool training camp where they're you know, it's not the 175 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: whole COVID protocol here, and I think we're seeing a 176 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: couple of guys to step up. Candidate Maurice. Candidate has 177 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: looked good at the corner spot. Okay, this is this 178 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: is this is a player here. So we'll see said 179 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: of constiously optimistic man, because I think sometimes as Cowboys 180 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: media members, we want to find the positives and write 181 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: about the positives and talk about the positives without always saying, hey, look, 182 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: you know, who are they going against? What's going on here? 183 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Because as much as we're talking about these five picks 184 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: and who's picking them off here? I mean Garrett Gilbert, 185 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: Ben Denucci and Cooper Rush. You know, these guys are 186 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: not expected to be playing on Sunday. And if they 187 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: are playing for the Cowboys or anybody other NFL team 188 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: on Sundays, it's probably not gonna be a good thing. 189 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: This is true, This is true. All right. I want 190 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: to get back to the to the hog molleys. I 191 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: want to get back down to the giants and the trenches. 192 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean where you got the witness you know, the 193 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: first pull full padded practices out there? Did the Big Three? 194 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: And you know Zach Martin, Tyrn Smith and Lyar were 195 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: they involved in any of these you know, defensive line, 196 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: offensive line one on ones or battles in the trenches 197 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: like that? How did they look and how did this 198 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: defensive line look, you know, having them first full padded practice, 199 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: because like we said, everybody looks good in shorts, but 200 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: did they look as good as they did in shorts 201 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: with these pads on? So when they started going into 202 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: the individual drills, I stood next to Nate Newtman. That 203 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: was great, what a great education. I mean, I wish 204 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: everyone could have had that opportunity that I had to 205 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: sit next to a Pro Bowl, three time NFL champion 206 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: and see what he's watching for Collins look good. Chemis 207 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: say that about it. Collins ended up looking very nice 208 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: and the the hips fluid and everything. Huh, And that 209 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: was what we looked about afterwards. Okay, hey, he just 210 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: had to play, just made a hit. So how's he 211 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: looking afterwards? So Collins is looking good man, and I 212 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a fan. Connor Williams, according to Nate, 213 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: not not what he wants him to be. He still 214 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: feels like he's too light. He also thinks that the 215 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: center tyler beyond it's his light. So he's got some 216 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: concerned about that that center guard. Combination of what he's 217 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: seeing right there. The far knock kid, he looked like 218 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: he's he's he's gonna have some ability here, so let's 219 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: see what he can do. Randy Gregory was hard to 220 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: block Randy Gregory. A player that I'm going to see 221 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: more out of, especially from a blocking standpoint, is Jeremy Sprinkle. 222 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: The tight end had a couple of nice blocks in 223 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: these drills, event that they had them line up with 224 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: the offensive line. A number eighty seven kid from Arkansas 225 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: and I saw Sprinkle play in college. He ended up 226 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: coming to Fort Worth from a game with TCU that 227 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: they ended up winning in overtime, and I thought he 228 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: was a nice player. He was up in Washington at 229 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: it with JP Findlagon covers Watchington football team for NBC 230 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: Sports up there, and he felt that, hey, he's not 231 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: a real player. That the guy can't really you know, 232 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: he couldn't help me in that Washington offense, and that 233 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: washing it off because they really wanted their they wanted 234 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: their tight ends to be more pass catches. I just 235 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: believe that the Cowboys need to have a tight end 236 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: who can block in this offense. Blake Jarwin's coming off 237 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: the ACL, so you still have to kind of be 238 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: wary of that. And then Dalton Schultz is not a blocker. 239 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: Sean McKowen from Michigan. He's more of a blocker. But Sprinkle, 240 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think you need I think you need 241 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: four tight ends. I really do. Because you think we're 242 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: gonna carry four into the into the season. That's heavy 243 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: at that position it is, But you know, Sprinkles also 244 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to play some special teams in church. I 245 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: keep coming back into this you're talk about seventeen game 246 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: season there, Okay, seventeen season. So so you're gonna give 247 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: Jarwin and Schoultz are going to make the team. Okay, 248 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: so we know this. Mcwen made it last year, so 249 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: you could cut Sprinkle and then maybe get it back. 250 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: But I can see them keeping four tight ends because 251 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: you've got to account for the fact that Jarwin is 252 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: coming off this injury. So if something happens the Jarwin, 253 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: now you've got you know, you got Sholts, you got 254 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: m Q. So I think Sprinkle can make the roster. 255 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: Oh by the way, remember he's an Arkansas razor back. 256 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: You know Jerry's got Josh even have they have a 257 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: place in their hearts for those razorbacks. You got that 258 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: connection man, And look the third and fourth tight and 259 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: if we're able to keep that that many at that position, 260 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: they've got to be heavy contributors on special teams, especially 261 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: if they want to wear pads, if they want to 262 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: get get into that forty six man with the pads 263 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: on them on Sundays. They gotta contribute on special teams. 264 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: So if I'm Sprinkle, if I'm the kid from Michigan, 265 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: you know I gotta become best friends with with with Fossil, 266 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: I gotta become best friends with Bones out there if 267 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna, you know, try to make this team because 268 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: i mean, we're stacked everywhere else. I mean, it's it's 269 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: stacked everywhere. So it's gonna be tough making that that 270 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: position at that tight end. But we'll see, we'll see 271 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: if they're able to get get down with Special teams. 272 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: Stay with what you're saying right there, coming off of 273 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: a cl you know you want jarwin nowhere near your 274 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: special teams right there, so you know you're you're taking 275 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: them off right there. But that's what we're talking about 276 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: was Sprinkle being able to block. So Sprinkle is able 277 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: to block here. So now you put that on your 278 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: punt team protection. You put that on you know, you 279 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: put that on point after, you know, So there's ways 280 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: where you can watch this guy get some stuff in 281 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: terms of Special teams that that's good. You know, I'm 282 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to end up asking Fossil the next time 283 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: they let us talk to the coordinators about what he's 284 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: seeing from MQ and Sprinkle in terms of being Special 285 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: Teams contributors and what they're going to do. But Hey, Church, 286 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: you played this league. Guys know when they're coming here. 287 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: They bought him into the rosters that they've got to 288 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: be special teams contributors. If they're just not going to 289 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: be able to get themselves out on the football field 290 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: of loss is just not got gonna happen.

And Terrell Bash was a guy 349 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: that came over and one of the things I asked 350 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: him to say, what's your fans expect?

He said, Man, energy, I am here to 353 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: bring energy. He's like, that is what we need, man, 354 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: we need energy. And he said, I'm tired of losing. 355 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: He said, I know the Cowboys had a losing season 356 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: last year. Says, I don't see that two years ago. 357 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: I said, man, I've never won. I want to win. 358 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: And that's why it came here. And you know, he 359 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: talked about having jukes that on the field of Dan 360 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: Quinn's talked about that and and it just made me think, 361 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: you know what, how many times did you see the 362 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys having have energy last year? And it's like, you know, 363 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: this could be he could be bringing something that they need. 364 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: Which is, you know, just kind of an attitude, just say, 365 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: hey man, let's have some energy, let's come out here, 366 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: be focused, and let's roll. And a guy who is 367 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 1: tired of winning. I mean I'm always a fan of that. 368 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: You know, it gets to a point in time in 369 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: your career where you're like, you know what, dude, I'm 370 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: tired taking these elves. I want some dubs. Yeah. And look, man, 371 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: every team he needs at least one or two of 372 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: those guys that just bring that passion, that bring that juice, 373 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: that that energy to any certain situation. I mean, you 374 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: gotta have it one. You gotta have it to get 375 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: through camp. I mean those days are long, those weeks 376 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: get long, and when you start getting padded practice on 377 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: top of padded practice, it wears you down. But you 378 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: gotta have that one or two guys that are just 379 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: no matter what's going on. It could be the fifth 380 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: straight day in pads, you could be down twenty in 381 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: a game, it don't matter. They still bring that passion 382 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 1: at juice and then get you excited. I mean, for us, 383 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: it was a guy by the name of JJ Wilcox 384 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: who AKA we called him Juice Man because he brought 385 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: that juice no matter what time it was, he brought 386 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: the juice. And Tyron Crawford in his younger years, he 387 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: always was passionate about going hard in the paint, no 388 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: matter what was going on, whatever, no matter what the 389 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: coaches asked him to do. So you definitely need one 390 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: of those guys on the field that keep you energetic, 391 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: keep you getting, get you through practice, get you through 392 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: a game. And now hopefully he can bring that passion 393 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: because you're right, you know, I mean last year, all 394 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: we really saw was, you know, guys with their heads down, 395 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: you know, just communicating errors, guys looking at each other 396 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: in the finger, and you don't have that when you 397 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: got a passionate, when you got a passion about something, 398 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: and some of those guys out there last year they 399 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: just didn't have it. So hopefully Basham and a couple 400 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: other new guys that we bring him here, bring that 401 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: that rejuvenated juice back to this team, and especially on 402 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Mike McCarty spoke about 403 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: he'd rather have guys, you know, we're too much juice 404 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: and being at a high level than the opposite way, 405 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: and Basham talked about how he's enjoyed working with Dan Quinn. 406 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: So you see Quinn doing a lot of work with 407 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: the D line, especially in these individual jewels. He's in 408 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: there working these guys, and Basham said, he really appreciated that. 409 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: He likes that in the coach and he thinks that 410 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: that kind of helped that coach, you know, get more 411 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: out of them. And so then I said, you mean 412 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: like Greg Williams last year, and they just looked at me. 413 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: He just kind of looked at me side eyed, like yeah. 414 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: And then there was another question that he spoke about, 415 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: and I said, did Greg Williams do that with you 416 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: last year? And then he just kind of looked at 417 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: me again, like, man, I got nothing good to say 418 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: about Greg Williams. You got fired by the Jets, and 419 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: we all know what kind of year they had in 420 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: New York. So he's looking yeah, and at laste he 421 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: didn't just throw them all the way. He just kind 422 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: of gave you the side out like yeah, at least 423 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: he didn't, you know, go full force on them because 424 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: they struggled. They struggled big time last year. And and 425 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: like you said, man, like we we both were saying 426 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: we need some passion, we need some juice, especially on 427 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the bar. I mean, it's last 428 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: year was just I mean, we were all witnessed to it. 429 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: It just wasn't what we wanted to put on the field. 430 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: The product just wasn't there. So you know, we need 431 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: this juice. Hopefully he can bring it in and inject 432 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: us with it going off through the season. Church you 433 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: understand this because you got to play for the Cowboys, 434 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: you played for the Jaguars. They speak about Dan Quinn 435 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: in a way we never heard them speak about Mike 436 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: Nolan last year. And look, I know it's early, but 437 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: to me, I think that matters when you've got a 438 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: buy in factor. I'm sorry, these are professional athletes, man, 439 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 1: these are college kids where you can just browbeat him 440 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: and force him to do what you wanted to prons. 441 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: We've got to buy into this thing, and so far 442 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: they bought in. I hadn't seen it be heavy season 443 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: game or anything, but dog going it. It just beats 444 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: last year. And the bar was so low last year 445 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: that dog going it hunt, you know, buying to this guy. 446 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: Hassled juice, come out here with some energy. You gotta 447 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: see the way these guys are reacting when somebody gets 448 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: to pick six, or somebody makes the stops. They're they're 449 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: going through these drills this defense. Man, these guys are 450 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: all out here rooting for each other, dog going it. Man. 451 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: We didn't see it last year. Man, I didn't see 452 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: that at these training can't practices last year. Okay, I 453 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: didn't see that kind of attitude. Man, we did. We 454 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: didn't see it at all. I mean you see it 455 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: when when when um what's his name Kazy got to 456 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: pick a couple of days ago. I mean, the whole 457 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: sidelines erupted, defense erupted. I mean you see these guys 458 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: buying into it. You know, they're they're they're being accountable 459 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: for each other. Somebody makes a mistake, they're not just 460 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, sweeping it under the rug or or saying, oh, 461 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: these coaches can't coach. I mean, they're keeping each other accountable. 462 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: And that goes huge. That goes huge, especially on the 463 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. When you believe in what 464 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: your coach is preaching. Like when we played with Marinelli, 465 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: we believe that no matter what scrap claude, you gotta 466 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: punch that ball out. You gotta find some way to 467 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: get the ball out. When you believe that it's it's 468 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: gonna become second nature. And hopefully that becomes second nature 469 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: that these guys are gonna hustle to the ball, take 470 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: the ball away, hit and run with a passion that 471 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: we didn't see last year. And if we're able to 472 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: do that, I mean, I don't know about top ten, 473 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: but we could definitely creep into the middle of the 474 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: pack as a defense overall, and we need that, especially 475 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: with this exclosive offense that we had. If the offense 476 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: does its job and puts thirty points on the board 477 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: and they've got the middle of the road defense, then 478 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: they should be in a good place. I believe that 479 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: based on if you do that, if you're scoring thirty 480 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: thirty two points a game and your defense is his 481 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: middle of the road, if if it's fifteen, sixteen, fourteen 482 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: in that area, then I think they can have a 483 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: winning season. So we'll see, because I'm still I still 484 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: got to see the D line, Baby, The D line 485 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: has to be better. Okay, it has to be better. Yes. 486 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: Let me bring up another thing that I saw at 487 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: training camp practice, and this was in the after practice, 488 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: getting a chance to talk to Mali Cooker, the safety 489 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: they brought in who missed last season with the achilles. 490 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: He said, look at my production when help. So if 491 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: you're a Cowboy fan, this is about health. If Malik 492 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: Hooker is healthy, then Malik Hooker can help. If he's not, 493 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: then you know, then they've they're taking a one year flyer. 494 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: So I think of it in terms of, all, right, 495 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: here's Kasey, here's Hooker, you take him, some flyers on 496 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: some guys obviously on one year deals. They've got something 497 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: to prove, and we'll just see through competition what happens. 498 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that you have to cut one or 499 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: the other. That we've got j Ron Curse out here. 500 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: I got to pay a little bit more attention to him, 501 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: so we'll see. I just love the fact that there's 502 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: competition here, man, And so because it's competition and guys 503 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: are out here having to play for, having to eat, 504 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: you know, and seeing for they supper, then I think 505 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: that's a good deal. Man. I think it's great that 506 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, there's competition amongst every level on the defensive 507 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: side of the ball. But NEI let me ask you, 508 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: you think that if they if let's just say, for 509 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: some reason, let's just say Hooker beats out Kazy and 510 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: he's a starting free safety. You wouldn't want, if you're 511 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: a hooker, you wouldn't want, you know, them to say, Okay, 512 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: I you won this job, Casey. You know, we gotta 513 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: we gotta let you go. We'll see you. I mean, 514 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: we'll give you an opportunity to land with somewhere else, 515 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: but we gotta let you go. That way, Hooker is 516 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: not always looking over his shoulder. Man, if if this 517 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: doesn't go right, if this doesn't go wrong, my leash 518 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: is short. They're gonna they're gonna pull the trigger, pull 519 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: the trigger quick on me. Uh. You know, it's great 520 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: to have depth, but you would want your gut, your guy, 521 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: whoever wins that starting battle, to be able to play 522 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: freely knowing that if he doesn't mess up at all, 523 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna come snack his job right back from him. So, 524 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I get the depth piece of it, 525 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: But do you think we got room to keep both church. 526 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: You came off the Achilles injury, and that's what that's 527 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: what both guys are dealing with him. I don't know 528 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: that you can necessarily say, hey, this particular player is 529 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: fine because you can reinjure that thing, or in the 530 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: cases of both guys, they could they could get injured again. 531 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: They've got injury history. So I just don't think you 532 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: can say, all right, Hooker's here, Casey's gone, Casey's here, 533 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: Hooker's I think you go with both guys in a 534 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: seventeen game season. I ain't going to emphasize that so 535 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: much here on the player side, try to by hotels 536 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: dot com. Seventeen game season. It's uncharted, we haven't seen 537 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: it before. It's tough enough to get guys through sixteen games, 538 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: so now you're adding a game, and then the cows 539 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: are gonna through that stretching. One believes it's maybe nine 540 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: games on the road. Then they're gonna have to play here. 541 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: And you start looking at the end of December where 542 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: you're you're basically four your last six games against NFC's teams, 543 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, so the division title most like it's gonna 544 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: be on the line in these last few games. And 545 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: I just don't think you could sit around here and 546 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: think about cutting cutting guys like this if you feel 547 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: that they have a role and it can help you play, 548 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: um play some football games. I just I'm a fan 549 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: of having multiple guys there and then along the way, 550 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, they'll tell you got you. Football players have 551 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: a way of telling you what you need to do 552 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: through that performance. Yes, this is true. I mean this 553 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: is true in that and and it just kind of 554 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: worries me as a defense overall. I mean, we gotta 555 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: go ahead at some level either whether it be d line, 556 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: linebacker's secondary, we gotta go heavy at a certain position somewhere. 557 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: But it just scares me overall that we're fielding such 558 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: a you know, kind of a wounded defense. I mean, 559 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: like you said, we got Hooker coming off a huge injury. 560 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: Kz Kean O'Neil. Let me look at our linebackers last year. 561 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: We're all beat up. So I mean it's it's it's 562 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: we're definitely fielding an injury team and adding another game 563 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: seventeen games and I think after our Bay Week, I 564 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: don't know if we play a nine straight or eleven straight. 565 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: It's something that's long and it's gonna it's definitely gonna 566 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna wear and tear on our players out there. So 567 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: we definitely need our depth, But I'm just not sure 568 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: if they're gonna go heavy at the safety, linebacker or 569 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: d line position. Obviously, health is gonna dictate what happens here. 570 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean, so much of this is about health and 571 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: what happens it camp. I mean, right now we're looking 572 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: at Gallup dealing with the knee she said, the ankle 573 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: injury from two days ago. And we see Cooper still 574 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: trying to get where he needs to be. Tristan Hill, 575 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: it's still out there working room Brown on the side. 576 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: He's on the publists, not ready to go. So I 577 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: just think that how they set this team will be 578 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: determined so much by the health and who else was 579 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: that I'm looking at here today? Tyrant Okay, Tyrant is 580 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: not practicing today according to the head coach, Mike McCarthy, 581 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: because of elbow tendonites. So that's that's something to think 582 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: about as you started looking at your football team. He 583 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: brought up Tarrant Still by the way, and he said, 584 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: look at my notes here from the McCarthy press conference. 585 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: He said that Still is a great, great example of 586 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: a guy who's in his second year and the weight 587 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: room work and what he went through there that he 588 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: likes what he's seen there. So a lot of positives 589 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 1: about some of the guys on the roster, the backup 590 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: position right now. But this is this is health man. 591 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: You've seen it. You saw the way last year, and 592 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: that's this lead Who's health and a shoot go ahead. 593 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: I was gonna say the only thing I think that 594 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: good that came out of last year with all these injuries, 595 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: as it gave a chance, like the steals, the nights, 596 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: those guys of the world to get a lot of 597 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: reps and get game get actual game time experience out there. 598 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it was definitely a hoshposh of old lineman 599 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: that we used to throw in there. We were playing 600 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: fantasy football, maxing and matching and moving people here and there. 601 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: But it gave those guys vital experience out there that 602 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: they're gonna need. I mean, especially if they're going for 603 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: a backup role. Seeing as though those big three, you know, Tyring, 604 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: Zach Mardin, and Lyle Collins have all had injury history 605 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: or injury history problems or whatever. So for me, I 606 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: gave them a lot of good game experience. And you 607 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: know they can they can vital backup roles for us 608 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: going throughout the season. And we'll see, And this is 609 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: a good question. I got to start to dive into, 610 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: is how are they going to have the practice rosters 611 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: this year? Because last year you're able to keep some 612 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: veterans on the practice roster and they increased. So how 613 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: how did the Cowboys go about that? So let's say, 614 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: for instance, they only keep three tight ends and you 615 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: cut a sprinkle, So are you able to possibly put 616 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: sprinkle on your practice your practice squads? So these are 617 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: some interesting things about what what will the Cowboys be 618 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: able to do? How will the league have their rules 619 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: this year coming out of you're still dealing where's still 620 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: in the pandemic? Okay, we're still in the pandemic? So 621 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: how will the NFL go about that? So I'm going 622 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: to be really interesting. I think that so much will 623 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: dictate what the Cowboys do with certain players. And I 624 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: think you're right, where do you go heavy at? And 625 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: this is a great, great, great question if we just 626 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: don't know yet, the players are going to tell us 627 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: and camp what we see in the preseason games. Guys, 628 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: guys are going to cut themselves or guys are going 629 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: to help themselves. They do it all the time, especially 630 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: now with this football team. And I'm pretty excited about that. Hey, Barry. 631 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: Let's squeeze in another another break that we got to 632 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: get to right here.

All right, it wasn't it wasn't 810 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: stacked in your direction, but you kept competing and you 811 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: ended up making the football team and you ended up 812 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: having the career that you wanted. But you had to 813 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: be prepared and you had to make sure you were 814 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: handling your business to be ready for that. You had 815 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: to because you never know what was going to happen. 816 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: I mean I was taking third string reps basically all 817 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: throughout the whole camp, getting third string reps in preseason games. 818 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: And then Pat Watkins got hurt for a little bit 819 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: and he missed one of the games, and you miss 820 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: about three or four practices, and you know that was 821 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: my opportunity to run with the twos. We started playing dimes, 822 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: so I got a little bit of runs or runs 823 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: with the ones. As a dime man, you never know 824 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: when your opportunity to arises. You just gotta make sure 825 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: that you're ready for that situation. And just like Lee 826 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: and myself and countless others, when your situation rise, you 827 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: gotta be ready for it. And she was ready for it, 828 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: took advantage of it, and the same thing goes out 829 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: to all these young cowboys in there that's going into 830 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: their first training camp or their second or third. If 831 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: that situation arises where you get an opportunity to run 832 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: with the ones, run with the twos, you gotta take 833 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: advantage of it. You gotta do something each and every 834 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: day to get the coach's attention, whether that be one 835 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: batted down pass, or you made a great communication and 836 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: had put him in the right defense, or you just 837 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: didn't make a mistake all day. You gotta have one 838 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: thing in mind that the coaches go back to that 839 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 1: film and say, oh man, he did pretty good today. 840 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: Let's see what he can do further on. So if 841 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: you can do that mentality, I mean, it'll become easy. 842 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: It'll become easy for you. Piggyback up, which you said. 843 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen. Right out here, Oxnard, California, Jamal Showers is 844 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: splitting reps with Dak Prescott is a thirteen quarterback guy, 845 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's the number two quarterback, and Tony Romo is 846 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: the established starter. And we all know what happened there. 847 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott ends up becoming the number one guy back 848 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: up to Joemo because Kellen Moore ended up getting a 849 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: legendary which ended his career. Then we saw Tony in 850 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: that preseason game against Seattle get hurt. Dak Prescott starts 851 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: the season that eight no and you know the rest, 852 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: and becomes rookie of here. So that goes back to 853 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 1: just taking advantage of your opportunity and despite whatever else 854 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: is happening in front of you or who's better than you, 855 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: just keep working. So anyway, man once again happy for 856 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: Lee and we hope that some own Biles can find 857 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: that the piece she needs mentally to be the whole 858 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: person and the best person for her church.
