Ever since, so we sat. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:34.000 In the gard. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.640 All right. You know what, I'm thinking that the Cowboys 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.520 got out of California just in time. Yes, it's like 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.920 it looks like the Good Lord was looking over this 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:50.280 team and said, okay, you schedule training camp until what 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.040 would have been August eighteenth. I'm sending you to Seattle 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.240 at that point. And then here comes a tropical storm 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:57.720 and an. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.760 Earthquake and an earthquake. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.280 Yeah, which, by the way, but by the way, it 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.680 struck the earthquake in Ohi, which is right next to 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.400 Oxnard in Ventura. And I checked on my friends that 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.200 live in Oxnard, and I said, well, what did it 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.160 feel like? And they said it felt like I was 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.760 on a big wave that they felt that it. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.040 Was raining and it happened. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:27.120 Yeah, right, they were getting wet and there was an earthquake. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.960 And in fact, think about it, if this would have 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.000 happened a week ago, the Cowboys wouldn't have had any 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.720 practice at all out there this week. Well, it sounds 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.239 like with the flood and flooding that's going on there. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.560 Yeah, not many hurricanes come through southern California. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.240 Yeah, I mean, it's it's rare. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:41.560 Now. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.480 The good thing with the earthquake. They didn't have a 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.960 tsunami either. Yeah, right, because you know we're only like 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.000 five miles from the ocean where the practice fields are. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.800 So you guys left straight from Seattle. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.440 Ye, the Cowboys broke camp on Friday and flew to 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.600 Seattle and then came from at all. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.840 And a charter home six am. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.280 Seven am here. I wasn't on the charter. I was 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.119 on a red eye though. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.360 Now it was six am when we got in. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.280 Yeah, seven am for me, and then an hour and 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.840 a half before I found out my bag wasn't getting on. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.400 Well, I'm going to find out today if my bags. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:24.639 Made the truck. So here we are starting a new week, 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.359 and training camp continues here at the Star in Frisco 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:33.520 on Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon, free and 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:38.320 open to the public. You can watch this team and 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.720 it's it's great to say. And also you'll be able 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.840 to watch them as well than the Tuesday night practice, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.160 which will be Cowboys Night right here and on t 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.880 X at one locally in Dallas Fort Worth. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:50.640 Uh. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.240 And so we'll get to see first steamers on the 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.480 field or spans you can see first steamers on the field. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.760 What you didn't see pres exactly right? 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.480 You want to start? Where would you like to start 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:05.120 with the bad news? 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:05.480 Yeah? 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.560 Well, and of course there were two major injuries, and 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.920 get an injury update from Mickey otherwise as well. But 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.520 the two major ones demarve on Overshowing, the linebacker, as 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.719 well as John Stevens Junior, the tied end, both with 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:26.400 ACLS suffered on Saturday night, and so they're both lost. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.040 With both, you couldn't You couldn't tell now based on 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.040 the play what exactly. 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.320 And to Marvion, I mean he started to get up 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.240 and then he reached for his knee. He didn't feel 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.200 it until he started to get up, but then he 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.040 walked off under his own power, that true. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.320 Power, and then they went into the tent. The next 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.360 thing we know, they were carting them into the locker room. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:48.120 And then with. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.039 John Stevens, I don't I didn't even see when he 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.279 got hurt, but I saw him walk into the locker 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.080 room with doctor Muller and it was like. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.560 Well, that doesn't look to too bad. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.120 But then well it was right off the line of 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.800 scrimmage who had a replay of it did and then 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.280 he was basically hopped off the field. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.960 I was thinking maybe he ran up on the back 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.919 of the guy in front of him that was trying 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.200 to block, or who was trying to pursue the play right, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.160 and maybe he got kicked in the in the shen 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.440 and then a bad step. 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:20.200 I don't know. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.440 Well, the sad part of it is is Overshawane was 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:29.000 playing awfully well. Obviously, third round draft choice, he's going 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.920 to make the team, right, but he was going to 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.719 get playing time. He was going to be on every 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.120 special teams unit. Uh, they were going to work him 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:43.080 in on the nickel defense at the other linebacker position. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.760 I mean, he was gonna he was going to have 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.400 a role on this team. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.440 And uh, he was playing awfully, awfully well. Now as 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.479 for John Stevens, Uh, he was going to make a 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.720 make it a difficult decision if they think that they 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.000 could get him on to the practice squad. But he 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:08.640 was showing so much, I don't know, awfully talented. But 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.640 how many tight ends can you keep on a team, you. 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.640 Know, truthfully from an experienced standpoint at the tight end position. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.559 I mean, you went into camp thinking he's the fifth 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.360 on the depth chart, right, and even though he had 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:27.040 shown things early from an experienced standpoint, depending on how 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.000 many you're going to keep. And if you look at 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.880 McEwen as okay, can he be more? Can you can 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.000 you keep him more as like the h back you know, 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:39.640 full back type and which would allow you to keep numbers, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.920 wise keep more. But he was likely, you know, if 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.520 everyone stayed healthy. The four guys in front of him 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:51.880 being Ferguson, schoon Maker as well as Hindershott and McEwan. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.920 There's your four more experienced ones in front of him, 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.400 and so it was going to be tough for him 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:57.400 to make that fifteenth right. 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.600 And then it might have been tough to get him 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.400 onto the practice squad if somebody needed a tight end. 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.320 Only saving grace on that would be With the new 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.280 rules this year, they are no cuts prior no mandatory 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.360 cuts prior to after the last preseason game, and so 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.800 everybody's cutting from ninety down to fifty three and so 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.840 they're I mean, think about there's thirty seven players from 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.920 every team in the league that's out there, and this 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.280 year you might be more likely to slide a guy 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.280 to the practice squad, but keeping him there and not 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.480 having someone pick him off at some point during the 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:34.880 season might be troublesome. 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.760 And then the good thing is he's never played tight 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.960 end before. That first preseason game was the first time 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.360 he'd ever played tight white. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.960 Yeah, and see from that standpoint, other teams, I mean, 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.760 they're in the same boat the Cowboys are. They understand, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.720 they scout, they know John Stevens was a wide receiver 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.240 in college. They look at him probably even more so 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.000 of a developmental player than we do here because we've 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.720 we've seen him in practice every day and so forth, 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.760 and seeing how he's making the progress. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.360 And the tough thing making the transition is not the receiver. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.280 Part of it is blocking. Right, If you're going to 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.080 put him out there, is he every time he goes out, 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.560 Does that mean he's a receiver? 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.200 Well, because he's never bounced to block, you're going to 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.680 get injured. Well, sitting he was a wide receiver. Now 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:23.880 you got to the mix. 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.240 Well six, he's got the building, he's got right, And 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.360 here's what's going I think's gonna happen with him. Now 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.800 he's going to be he's gonna rehab and hopefully it's 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.880 just the simple acl where uh he'll be able to 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.800 take part in uh a full off season. I mean anymore, 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.640 the a cls are considered basically six month injuries, and uh, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.840 he'll be able to and he'll be in that weight room. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.360 And he's listed at six six two forty five now, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.800 and I don't think he'll lose any athleticism being six 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.520 six two fifty and you know, and uh, I think 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.760 he was not going unless there were matt of injuries 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.320 at that position, he was not going to get much 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.280 playing time even if he made the fifty three. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.320 This to me, just like there are a lot of 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.560 tight ends on the Cowboys. We've talked in the last 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.400 couple of years about all of the talented tight ends 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.920 that have come out of the NCAA in the last 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.880 couple of years. I think he'll be I think they've 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:19.960 got enough tight ends. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.600 No, they do on their own squad. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.240 But it was just a guy that had a dimension 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:24.520 to it. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.959 When he was running down the hash near the goal line, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.880 you know, linebacker can't stay with him, and the safeties 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.600 are probably too small and he could body up on him. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:36.160 Doubt. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.800 So I was going to ask you if you recall 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.559 his father, John Stevens Senior, was the first round draft 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.640 choice of the New England Patriots. In nineteen eighty eight 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:52.400 as a running back, first round, seventeenth pick. He gained 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.800 one thousand yards his first year. You don't recall, I 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.680 don't you know. We were having our own problems in 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:02.120 the ages. We were trying to win a game, right, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.280 That's what I recall. No, I don't recall him at all. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:06.600 So he's got good geens. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.040 He does what I'm saying. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.679 Did you say that he made the Pro Bowl in 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.480 eighty eight, Yeah, as a rookie. Yeah, as a rookie 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:17.600 with the Patriots. A passed away several years ago. John 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.839 stevens half sister is Sloan Stevens, the tennis person. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.600 I yes, yes, I know there's some family. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:27.000 Wow. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.760 Mom was a track star in college and dad obviously 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:32.880 running back. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.280 But his his his birth mother was a. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.360 Star athlete in high school in the world. 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:43.840 Said his. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.560 His birth mother is from Yeah, Louisiana, and. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.480 Sloan when she was growing up being such a tennis player, 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.320 they moved to Florida where she trained for tennis as 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.360 a teenager. And so she's would be what like seven 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.000 or eight years older than John. So they didn't grow 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.640 up together. But I talked to John Stevens after the 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.280 first preseason game and he says, yeah, they text a 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.760 lot and stuff. So, uh but anyway, I mean, he's 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:15.200 he's a guy that now red shirts, and uh, there's 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.120 a real good hope for the future that he's he 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.760 has a good future in the NFL. And the same 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.000 goes for overshow now he's a red shirt player and 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.480 hopefully his ACL is like others. I mean, I would 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.439 love for Michael Irvin to talk with demarve on Overshown 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.400 and tell him, tell him this is what happened. Early 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.880 in my career. I suffered an ACL injury and then 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.400 I came back, and yes, you can have a Hall 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.160 of Fame career, that Hall of Fame career, even when 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.400 you suffer an injury like that. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.600 I happen to be there for obviously for some of 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.520 that with Mike Lovin and man, I just remember coming 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.280 in the off season and he would just be sitting in. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.280 The whirlpool just looking sad. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.120 And I remember we talked one time because I thought 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.480 he was how Mike is, He's so emotional and so 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.440 when you talk at that time, he was really down. God, 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.400 that hurt him so much. And I remember in the 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.520 off season one time. We just sat down and talked. 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.760 He wasn't in the whirlpool. He was in a sauna. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.440 We talked for a little while and I don't know, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.240 I just you know, told him to hang in there. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.720 No big deal, but you know, just I just remember 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.160 that moment. But soon after that he was on his way. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.120 Oh my god, you know what, I have this vision 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.959 of him. So I was living in Carrollton at that time. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:36.280 He was too, And I'm coming down Trinity Mills one 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.280 morning heading here, and all of a sudden, in the 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:44.240 median of the road, there's this big black man on 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:49.320 a big, tall bicycle and it's Michael Irvin. He's biking 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.760 to the ranch, right, and I'm going look at this site, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:53.880 and he's, Yo. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.079 You need to talk to right. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.760 That's right, and get him a bike. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.080 Okay, he can. He can ride the bike to have 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:03.680 his injury. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.679 So the other injury they suffered in the game, Uh, well, 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.280 let's well, let's. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.160 Go the Matt Willis. 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:11.280 Matt, let's go. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:17.080 The offensive tackle. Uh suffered a shoulder sublexation. You know, 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.880 that's what he had on the left side last year 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.960 that eventually needed surgery. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:22.880 Uh. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.240 Since this is a sublexation, meaning it goes back in 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.400 after it dislocates. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.439 Uh, we'll see the severity of it. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:36.840 But yeah, when they lost him and then red Wine, 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.720 I mean he's a veteran guy, right, I think. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.280 The shed fourth fourth year Miami. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.920 Had a hamstring and he had to leave the game. So, uh, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.480 I knew when I did it my column on Friday, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.839 I wrote that this was a near perfect training camp. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:55.960 Well why did you do it? Then? 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.360 I know, but I but I put a disclaimer in 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.560 there and said, you know, I have said, you know, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.320 they didn't suffer any injury. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.200 That's you know, season ending or the guy has to 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:07.079 start off that. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:13.400 Oh yeah, next day blame blame mix shots. But I 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.400 I put a disclaimer of the paragraph after and said, no, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.440 now this doesn't mean, you know, knock on wood. I'm 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.120 not trying to jinx anything. And I'll be darn it 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.160 was what the first quarter when he got hurt. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:30.000 Yeah, for for overshown, it was the seventh defensive play. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.600 He made three tackles, three tackles the first seven snaps 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.080 of the game and he was done. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:34.840 Yeah. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.440 So so that that's that was the injury update that 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.800 we know of in that game. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.960 So please tell me. My concerns are they're very heavy 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.600 on me. Uh, I'm worried about the kicking game. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:51.640 Okay, you know what we're gonna do. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:52.760 Please do We'll talk. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.760 We're gonna take them break, We'll talk about the kicking game. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.120 And there's much more to get to as far as 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.800 the second preseason game in Seattle and looking ahead the 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:07.640 preseason game number three, but more importantly, looking ahead to 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.440 the regular season opener, which is now less than three 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:17.440 weeks away.

That was great and a 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.840 great way to kick off a new season in a 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.520 new SWBC podcast studio, as the team is back here 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:55.760 at the Star in Frisco again, practices on Tuesday night, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.160 Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon free and open to the public, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.040 and then prec in Game number three against the Las 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.920 Vegas Raiders is Saturday night at at and T Stadium. 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.520 The playmaker Michael Irvin scheduled to join Isaiah standback in 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.680 the Oh High week they stand, but it's the traditional 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.719 final preseason game. That's where Michael loves to join us 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.680 in the booth and talk all things Cowboys. We don't 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.600 talk so much about they playing in that game. We're 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.000 talking about the guys that are on the sideline and 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:29.040 the rest of the league. 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.760 And there were twenty six guys who did not play 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.560 in that game on Saturday night in Seattle, sort of 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:41.800 the same number they had the previous week. And so 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.080 what you saw in that game was a bunch of 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.919 second team thirt team guys, second team guys on that 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.200 offensive line that are trying to make this team because 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.640 they need some backup offensive linemen. 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.040 I had a lot of first teamers on that other 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.200 side the first half of that gaming, right seeah. 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.040 And they played pretty well against the. 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:07.160 They had an offense. The most impressive thing I think 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.360 about the offense was the eighty yards seventeen drive against 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.880 what was it was probably two thirds of the defense 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.359 were first teamers out there for Seattle at that point 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.520 in the game, and. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.000 So they were able to work on strategy, you know, 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.280 the third down situation and the pretty good yeah they 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.800 made like three or four yeah that drive. 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.200 I think I had a fourth down conversion and maybe 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.399 three third down conversions in the pass out to Rico 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.720 Dabble and take what the defense gives you. And as 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.119 we said on the telecast, that's there's your Texas Coast offense, 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:43.240 you know, And. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:44.160 That's one of the things. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.240 I think you're going to see more of the little 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.879 swing passes to the running backs and just use the 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.399 talent you have if you're if you don't have somebody 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.440 that's going to bang in the middle all the time, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.199 don't hit your head against the wall. Try and just 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:02.560 figure out what your talent is and use it. As 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.520 Cooper Rush said after the game, he goes, when I 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.600 was asking him about the drive, and he goes, well, 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.760 the good thing was as we were third and manageable. 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.320 Most That's exactly what it was. 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.280 Yes, And it wasn't like your third and seven, third 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.200 and eight, because at that point, you know, there might 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.280 be some guys on that off second offensive line that 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.120 are capable of getting on the fifty three as a backup, 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.360 but when they play, they're not playing with four other backups, right, 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.239 and so their past protection wasn't all that great, but 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.480 they figured out how to kind of play call around 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.639 their limitations. Yeah, that was an impressive an impressive drive, 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:46.560 especially for Cooper Rush to have that opportunity to show hey, 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:48.240 I'm still the second guy. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.240 How about little Deuce, how's he doing? 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:57.400
