It is Tuesday, August 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.360 twenty of twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, episode number twenty eight. 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.080 Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. We're live 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.880 from the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco. Very 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.400 happy to be back home from training camp at Oxnard. Uh. 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.520 Cowboys having their first practice here at the Ford Center. 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.680 They are on the field right now going through their routine. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.920 And I got my guys here, Nick and Dave joining me. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.400 Amber's out today, but we'll carry on anyway. We got 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.360 a lot to talk about, particularly we will get into 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.600 Cowboys second preseason game. Dave what I'm just saying. Dave's 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.920 right there, I said, he said, guys, I know I 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:09.200 was watching anyway. People are because because we get to 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.160 watch practice, We're gonna get to watch practice. Let's have 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.200 a little bit of that is a little treat for 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.680 you guys as we do the show today, you'll be 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.080 able to have a quick look in at what's happening 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.199 here on the field. We're gonna spend some time talking 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.280 though about the Cowboys second preseason game where they faced 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.840 the Los Angeles Rams. They gotta win fourteen to ten. 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.319 There was some very good things we saw during that game. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.000 We're gonna point those out and talk a little bit 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.400 about those. There are also some not so good moments 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.040 that I also want to throw out and get your 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.640 opinions on. Before we do that, though, let's talk a 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:41.160 little bit about injuries. This injury list is is quite expansive. Uh, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.120 there's some guys that are kind of working back in, 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.240 some guys still out. Why don't you guys go through 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.560 and talk to me a little bit about some of 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.920 the injuries and kind of where everybody stands with those. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.040 It's long, I don't know, I mean, really, we could 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.800 just start with who is practicing at this point. It's 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.520 not that bad. Tyrant Smith is limited today. He the 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.960 dreaded back tweak. We know he didn't go to Hawaii. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.400 Jason Garrett said he's still dealing with that. He's out 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.400 there in uniform so much like a lot of these 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.560 I don't think it's something that's super serious, but he's 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.760 dealing with the back. Zach Martin's still dealing with the back. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:18.119 Mary Cooper still dealing with his foot. Tyrone Crawford and 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.760 DeMarcus Lawrence are back to practice today, but they're going 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.080 to be very limited because this is their first work 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.280 of the year. But positive step that positive step. Blake 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.160 Jarwin and Dalton Schultz are both out. Um who else 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.359 am I missing? Noah Brown and Byron Jones are still 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.040 his PP. Shaun Lee is back. I don't expect that 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.680 he's gonna do a ton, but he did come into practice. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.359 Jeff Heath is limited. He did not play on Saturday night. 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.760 I'm drawing a blank as to what his exact injury was. 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.560 But again, these this is for the most part, all 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.200 training camp. You know, knocks and bruises. Being cautious with guys. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.040 I think I don't wanna knock on wood, but I 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.359 think Robert Quinn is like the only guy that's dealing 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.440 with a you know, aside from Louke Gifford, which we 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.560 already knew that, but those two are like the severe 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.560 injuries among that's you know what we didn't get an 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.680 update on him today. It's a long list, man, It's 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.320 a very long play the game, right, I mean not 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.440 even a play, it was a kickoff. Yeah, linebacker Chris Covington. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.000 That's something that we need to check in on because 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.680 we updated every single injury this morning with Jason Garrett. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.440 But the you know, sixth string linebacker got lost in 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.080 the shuffle. I guess. Talk to me a little bit 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.160 about Byron Jones and Noah Brown. These are two guys 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.320 that haven't practiced yet. Obviously, when you see couple guys 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.680 now in Tyrone Crawford and Tank Lawrence coming back, you 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.440 kind of started looking like, Okay, when are they going 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.480 to be back? Talk to me about those two guys particularly, Yeah, 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.080 I actually asked Jason for an update on both of them, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.000 because they're not they're not off of pup like Tyrone 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:54.520 and DeMarcus are. Um. Jason said that Byron is still 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.720 on schedule. He's right where he's supposed to be. Obviously. 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:58.840 You know, it feels like there's a long time to 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.640 the season, but it's really they got five practices until 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.839 it's time to start game planning for the Giants, so 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.880 we'll see. It doesn't sound like it's gonna be this week, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.640 maybe next and then Noah Brown trying to read between 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.320 the lines. I wonder, I wonder what his progress is. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.360 Jason said, he's still a little bit away. So now 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.719 you now maybe you wonder if he's gonna not be 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.479 available at the outside of the season. But that's the 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.279 little premature, you know. And the thing about Noah we 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.040 we've talked about him being a guy that you know 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.360 will probably make the team. They like him that much. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.760 The one thing about about him is that you know, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.320 he's he's obviously a big, strong guy. They don't have 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.280 another guy that's in this mix of the John Vay 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:47.960 Johnson's and Reggie Davis or Cedric Wilson. He's pretty pretty 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.599 much the biggest guy there, Cedric Wilson. But there's an 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.479 important note. If you're watching Cedric Wilson out there doing 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.000 um receiver drills, which obviously he's been in the concussion protocol. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.200 So that's there's nobody like Noah Brown. Though's what I'm 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.360 trying to say, that there's nobody that does what he 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.320 does or what they want him to do. I'm not 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.400 saying he does it well or extremely well. Well, no, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.280 because they want him to be this tied end and 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.359 block all the time, and he's really not. He's just 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.280 a big receiver. But you know, he's getting there, and 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.479 I think that they like him for a reason. But 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.800 I'm just saying, I don't know who's competing with him 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.120 to say we're gonna take You're gonna be the big 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.640 receiver on this team. You know who is that they don't. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.159 I mean, I'll maybe Cedric, Yeah, which that is. It's interesting. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.679 And if you remember, Noah started the season on ir 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.520 last year and it kept them from having to make 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.920 a decision about him. So if he is unavailable at 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.400 the start of the season, it could be the same 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.720 thing all over again. And I think it would be 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.440 pup this year because he didn't even mix into practice 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.880 this year, So again it's premature, but I do wonder 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.520 what they're gonna do with him if he can't mix 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.719 into practice before they have to cut their roster down. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.440 All right, let's go on. Let's move on to a 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.320 little bit of blanket coverage. I have a statement for 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.880 you guys. It's just gonna be one statement today, you guys, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.839 fill in the blank. Here's the statement. Jerry joked after 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:06.839 Pollard's performance on Saturday. Zeke Who, Zeke's agent said it 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.880 was as he said, he thought it was disrespectful. This 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:16.240 has blank impact on negotiations, Dave none. It has like 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.560 absolutely no impact on negotiations, which I feel a lot 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.520 of different types of way about this. First of all, 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.880 let's provide some context to the situation, because within ten 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.920 seconds of the Zeke Who joke, he said, obviously I'm 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.000 three seconds like it was quick. I'm very quick. I'm kidding. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.440 We all love Zeke. We know what he does for 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.440 this team. I would love to have him and Tony 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.960 Pollard in the backfield at the same time. Very complimentary stuff. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.839 But as Jerry, first of all, he loves that type 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.279 of stores. And then he was evan it was too 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.440 good to pass up. It was a great opportunity at 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.920 a joke. He winked at the camera after he said it. So, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.320 first of all, whatever, like full context, it's not a 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.440 big deal. Second of all, Okay, Zeke, you feel disrespected 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.560 like Jerry probably doesn't appreciate that you haven't been at 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.839 work for the last three weeks, Like big big deal. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.120 I don't care, like I it's and I guarantee you 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:11.200 Jerry doesn't care either. And thirdly, and lastly, if a 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.400 deal gets done, or when a deal gets done, it's 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.000 gonna be water so far into the But do you 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.160 think anybody's gonna care if they agree on this new 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.080 big deal and he's back in the fold. Oh, but 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.440 you made a half hearted, light hearted joke about me 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.080 two weeks. Nobody's gonna care. It's nothing. I'll take the 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.960 next one. Yeah, it's been all the talk of social 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.160 media for three days. I'm sick of hearing. And honestly, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.880 the only reason I brought it up is really because 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.000 I wanted to give context because we were standing there. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.360 I know I was standing there. I think Dave, you 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.800 were standing there. Yeah, And I do think sometimes you 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.880 hear these things how they reported, they'll kind of says 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.120 in small italics, he was joking, but it in the 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.040 big headline. Everybody read the headline and that's what they knew, 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.480 and so a lot of people don't know that it 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.320 was really it really was just one of those lighthearted 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.120 moments that Jerry's having with the media, which he has 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.880 quite frankly a lot of the time. Man, And just 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.400 get over it. If you're disrespected, I mean it sounds 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.280 like the offer that they threw out there was pretty 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.560 disrespectful as well, the first offer that they threw out there. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.960 So that zis camp. So, I mean, you know, it 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.600 sounds like it's been happening. I completely I completely agree 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.520 with the guy's strategy. Honestly, he does deserve to be 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.480 paid better, and if that's what it takes to get it, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.960 good for him. But he is in breach of contract 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.760 with two years left on his deal. Like I doubt 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.480 Stephen and Jerry Jones genuinely appreciate what he's doing. So great, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:29.320 everybody feels disrespected. Cool, don't care. All right, here's we're 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.840 gonna do. I want to talk a little bit about 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.360 the game I've noted about. I don't know. They're about 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.600 five different things I noted from the game that I 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:41.200 considered to be good moments in the game, or good 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.560 or players I wanted to point out. And then they 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.719 are roughly about four things I wanted to point out 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.400 that weren't so good, and we'll talk about each one. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.840 Cowboys get the win fourteen ten. The first thing I 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.880 noticed m and I want to point it out and 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.400 talk about is Tony Pollard. He has five carries forty 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.600 two yards and a touchdown. Uh. In my opinion, that 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:06.440 touchdown run was unique in the way that it wasn't 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.160 just what we had heard of him from the standpoint 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:10.800 of him being a guy that can kind of take 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.000 a run and use his speed to being something that happened. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.040 He actually had to finish that run with some power, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.199 and he did and he got into the end zone. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.640 That all being said, have you seen anything from him 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.960 that even makes you think that there's a possibility he 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:30.280 could be in every down back in the NFL? Nick Um, Yes, Yeah, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.880 it's the fact that Zeke's not here and he's the 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:37.520 number one back and he's looked really good relatively speaking, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.320 so he will be the number one back and if 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.600 you know, if he's if Zeke's not here, and he 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.439 showed it with what you're asking and with these runs there. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.160 The touchdown run to me reminded me and and again 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.920 let's be I mean, I'm gonna put it in some 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.280 context here, Bud. He reminded me of him at Smith 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.640 the way that he was he was loaded the I 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.160 like how you started it, I'm gonna put that in context. Yeah, Okay, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.839 the was like Emmett Smith in that very low center 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.000 of gravity. He's you know, he's obviously when you're not 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.200 that tall, you're going you're going to be But he stayed, 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.560 his balance was there. It was it was that hit 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.920 like three yards off the line of scrimmage, and then 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.280 he stays and then he goes and he finishes the run. 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.640 But that to me, I'm not saying he's Emmitt Smith 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.560 at all, because he's not really built like it. But 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.840 the run was powerful with a low center of gravity 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.800 that I thought was good. I thought I was being 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.480 bold because I compared I've compared Pollard's drive in that 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.440 game to what Zeke did against Seattle in twenty sixteen. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.360 Like it just felt familiar in the sense of like 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.040 putting everybody in the game on notice, although you have 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.880 to point out that he did it against the Rams backups, 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.480 like not really nobody of consequence was in that game 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.480 for LA. I don't want to say, like it was 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.360 very impressive. I wrote a whole story about it. I 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.200 was blown away, and even you know, Brian brought us 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.360 went through and watched the tape and the sack that 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.880 they gave up on Dak wasn't all Pollard's fallow Jason 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.920 Witten had a hand in that. So all of that consider, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.480 like he looked fantastic in every aspect of the game. Um, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.480 I don't want to doubt or hate on the guy, 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.640 but like, I'm not convinced that that means he's gonna 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.600 be your every down guy. And I if Zeke's not here, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.400 I still don't think that'll be the case. I think 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.120 Alfred Morris is here for a reason, especially if Zeke 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.320 doesn't show up, and I just think there will be 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.280 some divvying there. I Mean, these guys know what they 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.199 have in Morris, and there's a reason that he's kind 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.760 of quietly been ramping up as time goes, and if 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.000 Zeke's not here when the regular season starts, I think 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.320 it'll be some type of balance between the two. The 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.960 one thing I will say, though, is I don't think 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.679 he's just a third down back. I think for sure 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.440 you can give him series because the one thing we've 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.400 that at least I think i've noticed, is he is 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.400 he's not afraid, and he's not bad at running between 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.319 the tackles. A lot of the runs, most of the 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.240 runs that we've seen him have here in the preseason, 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.000 so far, I've been between the tackles, and the one 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.720 thing I like about him when he's running in there is, 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.760 you know, sometimes you see a guy when he's running 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.760 between the tackle, he just kind of bows his way through. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.640 He has a way of kind of just figuring out 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.240 where the little creases are and he kind of just 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.560 moves within them to try to get as much as 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.840 he can get. Yeah, it's a different way maybe than 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.480 you have than a bruising type back. But the point 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.200 is he's been pretty effective at it, and so I 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.520 wouldn't discount his ability to be able to work within 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.760 the tackles. And that makes him in every down back, 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.400 even though he's not taking every carry in the game, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.760 he is a back that can play on any down. Yeah, 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.160 the big difference, and the big question with backs like 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.520 that is is you know, he's done it for one 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.440 drive in each game. Let's see what happens in the 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:35.000 third quarter, fourth quarter when you know these these hits start, 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.360 you know, piling up a little bit. But he's done 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.000 everything that they've given him so far. He's passed with 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.600 flying colors. So but that's my thing too, is I 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.360 don't expect him to be the guy all three, whether 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.880 it's Zeke or Alfred Morris or whatever. Like, I don't 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.559 expect him to put that kind of load on him, 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.360 but there's no based on what we've seen through training 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:58.280 camp in two preseason games, there's no way he shouldn't 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.480 be getting a healthy percentage of the workload from the 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.800 from the get you know, I mean, shoot, we already 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.440 compared him to Emmett and Zeke, So just throw Kamara 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.640 back out there too, Like, no, right, if the Saints 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.120 can get Alvin Kamara that involved while they still have 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.240 mark Ingram, then there has to be a way to 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.440 use this guy. It's clearly awesome. You know. It was 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.280 back in the three yard line. I was like, well, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.080 what I told Derek, what if he takes it to 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.160 the house right here ninety seven yards? And if that 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.680 was the case, we would be comparing him to Tony Dorsett. So, 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.920 you know, let's just do the whole thing. Hall of 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.560 Famer's run over someone like Marion Barber. You'll put him 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.120 in the Hall already, all right, he's gonna Sorry, I 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.160 wonder if he's gonna keep one in thirty six when 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.240 he makes the team. Yeah, I don't like thirty six 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.280 I don't need it, but maybe I will though, you know, 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.920 like we said this the other day, Kamara, like forty 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.120 one is lame, but Kamara made it cool, So maybe 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.240 he can make thirty six. And forty one still doesn't 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.240 match for his kind of skill for Kamara, it doesn't 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.960 match to me, like I see in him. It's just 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.640 but it looks cool, like they call him AK forty one, 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.160 like it's way cooler than you would have thought. I 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.360 don't know. I'd rather I'd rather get to a number. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.280 I'm trying to think of a thirty six in NFL 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.640 history that's been and like a real standout running back. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.720 Probably I'm sure there's been one. I'm sure there's been one, 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.480 but I just can't think. I just feel like he's 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.439 going to move into the twenties win this Roger is 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.080 a good thirty six. Ever, Like I mean, I have 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.480 no idea. I'm trying to I don't want to think answered. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.840 I don't even know if that's true. I don't know, 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.680 baby not, I don't know. All right, let's go and 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.240 take our first break.

It's a crazy thing, and 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.000 I mean, I understand, but Jason Garrett, you know it's 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.840 like it's still training camp. But there's four more practices 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.160 after this because they play a Thursday game next week. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.240 We're already almost halfway through this week. Like I'm kind 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.560 of ready. I'm ready for some real football. That doesn't 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.399 matter if you're ready or not. It's coming. It's like 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.760 fifteen days away. Think about it. This weekend. College football 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.720 Stars yes, sir. We don't have another weekend without football 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.720 until February. Love it. That's the time of the year. 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.600 So excited. All right, Let's move on a couple other 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.440 good things that happened in that game. Dak Prescott win 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.040 five or five or sixty four yards. If you take 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.200 his first two games in the preseason, he's gone nine 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.399 for nine. He has not had an incompletion. He's had 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.800 eighty seven yards total. What you've seen from Dak during 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.119 the preseason, as well as what you saw from him 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.040 during training camp, do you think that you've seen enough 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.280 growth in him where you think he is ready to 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.760 assume the mantle of being the best thing that the 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.639 Cowboys do. Let's assume for a second that Dak is 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.639 not here. Is he ready to be that kind of guy? 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.640 Zeke is not here? I'm sorry, Zeke is not here. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.639 Is Dak ready to be the best thing that the 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:27.760 Cowboys do? Offensively? I should say yeah, I'm not ready 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.040 to say that, which, although let me let me start 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:35.000 good before I get to that, though. I mean, I'm 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.520 so encouraged by the way he's looked in these games, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.360 because again, we've been going back and forth about how 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.240 he's looked in practice. It's been up and down. I 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.040 even said he needs to be more consistent. And the argument, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.560 as always well, is that because of this top five 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.840 defense or because Dak's not that good, And granted he's 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.200 playing backups in these games. I get that, but he's 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.520 done everything you could ask him to do to this point. 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.240 Ten points on two drives and ninety seven yard scoring 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.240 drive got everybody involved look accurate. I know people were 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.399 debating the gallop throw. I thought it was a fantastic pass. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.119 I thought he put it exactly where it needed to 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.720 be to give Gallup a chance to get it, even 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.200 if it was a jump ball. I think he's looked 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.760 great and he's done everything you can ask of him. 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.720 Whether that means he's ready to be that load carrying quarterback, 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.240 I'm not ready to say. You know, I thought the 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.600 past that we just saw here in practice, where it 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.199
