17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: To the regular season study. Finally, just let that like

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: set up for a second that it is officially regular

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 2: season mode, not just here at the Star and Frisco,

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 2: but really across the NFL. Everybody preparing for the first

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: regular season matchups, which is a lot and fun all

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: at the same time. But we're gonna get into it.

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: Because we don't waste time here. Despite what people think

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: and say in the comments that we talk too much,

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: even though you're listening to a podcast, I don't know

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: what you expect. Oh but Christy, again, we were talking

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: about the last episode we did, how Mike McCarthy does

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: these press conferences, and then your ears perk up. And

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: I sit behind you in the press conferences. I usual

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: to listen next to me, and we saw your little

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: ears perk up when Mike McCarthy mentioned a couple of

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: these nuggets in his press conference yesterday. The guys are

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: off today, so they're again in that regular season schedule mode.

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy talked about how different regular season game preparation

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: is compared to preseason games, something that I thought was

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: interesting as he mentioned, you know, usually you have some context,

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: you have previous games to go off of. When you're

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: in the midst of the season, you only have a

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: reputation when it comes to this regular season game. But

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you, Christy. We talked about how

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: different this is going to be practice wise. We're in

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: regular season mode. How much does that change for the Cowboys.

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: Well, it's the fact that it's the season opener. And

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: so even though you're playing the New York Giants, a

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 4: team that you have a lot of familiarity with, and yes,

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: they've added a few key players, and there's always a

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: bit of roster turnover of course going into the start

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: of the season. But the New York Giants, they have

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: their same coordinators from last year with Martin Dale, defensive

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: coordinator Mike Kafka. It's the offensive coordinator, but it's the

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: number of unscouted looks that are expected. So when we're

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 4: talking about scouted looks, when you get to the regular

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: season practices, the scout team, the practice squad guys, and

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 4: your second and third teamers are pretending this week to

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: be the New York Giants. So they are running plays

56
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: that you expect to see on Sunday night in the game.

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: And they wear all these different colors on their helmets

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: to indicate. If they're red, they're a wide receiver. If

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 4: they're blue on their helmet that means they're a tight end.

60
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: If they agreen, they're pretending to be a running back.

61
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: So all these little things, they'll be a penny. It's

62
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: probably Darren Waller. Someone's going to pretend to be Darren Waller,

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: the new tight end for the Giants, but Mike McCarthy

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: said that really through the first month of the season,

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: basically thirty five percent of the plays are unscouted, over

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: a third of the plays, and even against a team

67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: like the Giants that you know so well, there's just

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: going to be things that you aren't expecting. We talked

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: to with jay Ron Curse about that yesterday in the

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: locker room, and he's like, yeah, that's just you know,

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: you have to expect that you're going to see some

72
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: different things. And the Giants defense, you know, they have

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: a couple of rookie cornerbacks that they're going to be

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: starting back there and then move Dori Jack into the slot.

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: So it's a real challenge for the staffs, even though

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: you would think, ah, you know, you've had all off

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: season to prepare, you know these guys anyway, because you

78
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: play him twice a year. It's the same coordinators, But

79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: over a third of the looks that you're going to

80
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: get in the game are going to be are unscouted.

81
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: You don't know what to expect.

82
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is why they say I've always heard

83
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: that what is your team in Week six? With eight,

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: what are they starting to look like at that time

85
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: in the season, because that's about the time that teams

86
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: have gotten enough tape on you, they've gotten enough film

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: on you. Something that came to me today when I

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: was driving here was the fact that you know, to

89
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: add on is that I believe that similarly similarly to

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 5: when Dan Quinn came in and he flipped this defense

91
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 5: and it was a totally different look.

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I believe that Mike McCarthy.

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 5: Coming in with this new system that you know, obviously

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: it's West Coast, so those those foundational things you do,

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: but they're gonna be wrinkles, They're gonna be things from

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: Kellen Moore's offense that he said that they were gonna

97
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 5: keep here.

98
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: So I do. I think it's a bit of an

99
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: advantage even so for.

100
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 5: The Cowboys, maybe even more than the other average team

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 5: is the fact that they have a new coordinator coming

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: with a new system.

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: And just like you said, Christy, they've also added new.

104
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: Players because Douce Fawn, how are they going to utilize him? Yeah,

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: do something with a full back with Hunter Lipke and

106
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: you know, not to mention Brandon Cooks. Oh my goodness. Absolutely, Yeah,

107
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: it's awesome. You think, oh, poor Mike McCarthy and his staff. No,

108
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: poor Brian Dayball and his staff.

109
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely to work with.

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

111
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: I also love that McCarthy talked about how not every

112
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: game is the same for him, that he's never called

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: a game exactly the same way for all of the

114
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: years that he's been doing this. He talked about how

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: his call sheet changes game to game, and I think

116
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: that's so important for anybody to really understand when it

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: comes to the job of being the play caller for

118
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: the team, whether it's Mike McCarthy or anybody else across

119
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: the league. I thought that was such interesting insight when

120
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: you really think about it, because the call sheet is

121
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 2: something that you know, you just kind of you think about,

122
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: and especially with terms of Mike McCarthy calling the plays,

123
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: it's not something that you really think of. The details

124
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: in and the way Mike McCarthy details how he thinks

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: about things and the way he views football is so

126
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: interesting in these press conferences. I mean, he gives you

127
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: just these little bits of information that really open up

128
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: a wider conversation, and I think how he calls the

129
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: plays is just going to be so so interesting these

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: first few weeks since they're kind of getting everybody's getting

131
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: their feet on the ground. That's why you talk about

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: December football and why it's such a big deal. Everybody's

133
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: ready at that point. Everybody's warmed up, if you will,

134
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: so very excited to see that. By the way, I

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: forgot to mention, if you want to text us a

136
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: question today, please do so at eight one, seven, two

137
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: nine zero three, two ninety. We're going to be answering

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: your questions throughout this entire episode, ladies, real quick. When

139
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: you're talking in terms of you know, Chris, you mentioned

140
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: the running back room, Mike McCarthy talked about the running

141
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: back room, saying, you know, I've had two ones really

142
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: for the entire time that I've been here since the

143
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: running back room does change. What is an aspect of

144
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: this Cowboys offense with Mike McCarthy calling the plays that

145
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: you're looking forward to kind of keying in this week

146
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: with everything starting up? Is there? Is it the run game?

147
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: Is that the past game? I know an emphasis for

148
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: them has been the pass pro What are you more

149
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: interested to kind of zone in on as Mike McCarthy

150
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: gets his feet well with the play calling.

151
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: Well, he has made clear that running the ball is

152
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: a priority this year. I mean it's a priority every year,

153
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: and that's just one of those truisms of football. But

154
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: I think that when you talk about the additions, you know,

155
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: Brandon Cooks and everyone's really excited about the past game.

156
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: But with Tony Pollard is the lead back, and then

157
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: I think Rico Dowdle's more than a capable backup running back.

158
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: I think he can, you know, ball. It's going to

159
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: be interesting to see what they do on some of

160
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: the short yardage things if they use hunterd Lipkey for

161
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: anything with that. But I think Schoonmaker taking him in

162
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: the second round and his blocking ability and of course

163
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: a lot of established in the ground game. You know,

164
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith. Jerry Jones this morning on the Fan, the

165
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: flagship station of the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network, indicated that

166
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith was having his MRI today. He left practice

167
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: early yesterday with a little hamstring soreness, and Jerry indicated

168
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: that they didn't think it was very serious. But you know,

169
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: finally we get to see the offensive line, the first

170
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: teamers play together for the first time in a long time. Yeah,

171
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 4: So I don't know about you, Aisha, No, I'm really

172
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: I'm I'm really I'm really excited to see because you know,

173
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: I think they wanted to be the identity of the team.

174
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 5: Yes, like, and you asked about what are some things

175
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 5: we're looking for.

176
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: I'm really looking for.

177
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 5: The utilization of this new speed on the offensive side

178
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 5: of the ball. You mentioned a guy like Brandon Cooks,

179
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 5: but you do have a Cavante Turpin that's been more

180
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: involved in the offense, and then you have the douce Vants.

181
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: Tony Hollard is your number one running back, and you

182
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: know the explosiveness he plays with.

183
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: I think you do get.

184
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: Some dope stuff from the tight ends too. You have

185
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 5: Peyton hindershot speed can break away at the seams, and

186
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: then you know, obviously the fifty to fifty balls and

187
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 5: stuff that Jake Ferguson can do.

188
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: I'm really looking at.

189
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: That also, just the tendencies in his play calling, because

190
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: when you watch Carolyn Moore for a while, I mean

191
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: that was one of the offensive coordinators I became familiar with.

192
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: I knew very early in the game some of what

193
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: his plans were, what he was attacking, things like that.

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: So with Mike McCarthy.

195
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: I want to see his situational play calling is more

196
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 5: of Is he more likely to go forward in fourth

197
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 5: and two than a fourth and three? Just I want

198
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: to see what his decision makings like.

199
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: And it is very exciting. Yeah, it is. It feels

200
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: like a new fresh start real quick.

201
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: While we're on this topic, we got a question from

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: Mike in DC fitting that we're talking about Mike McCarthy

203
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: and Mike from DC centers a question he said, do

204
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: you think that running the offense in the last preseason

205
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: game he's talking about Dak Prescott, does that make a

206
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: better relationship with him and coach Mike. So not to

207
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: be a mistake here. Mike is not the same Mike

208
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: we're talking about, but he wants to know about the

209
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: relationship between Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott. This is something

210
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: that I think we've talked about a lot, even last season.

211
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: I think it's worth mentioning every time we get asked

212
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: about it. I think it's such a healthy relationship that

213
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: you're seeing with Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy

214
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: has put a real emphasis on not just the physical emotion,

215
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: of physical emotional and mental well being of his players.

216
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: But he genuinely cares, and you see that when he's

217
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: talking about the conversations he has with these guys. You

218
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: see that emotion come through when he was talking about

219
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: the hard conversations on roster cut day. I think somebody

220
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: like Mike McCarthy and the way he pours into his

221
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: guys is so underappreciated. And the culture that he has

222
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: established within this building just really in all cylinders, is

223
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: just beyond underappreciated in my opinion.

224
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, And one thing about Dak Prescott that I know

225
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 5: about him from looking at his his history, the character

226
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 5: and some of the things his past coaches have said

227
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 5: about him.

228
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: He loves being coached. He enjoys.

229
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 5: Most good players or great players, they want the opportunity

230
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: to perfect what they are doing. And who better than

231
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 5: a gentleman that in Mike McCarthy who has developed there

232
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 5: is he has a reputation for doing this. There's history

233
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: behind his ability to get behind his quarterbacks. QB school

234
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: in itself is an opportunity.

235
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: For every quarterback to grow.

236
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 5: In and so for me, I think that the play

237
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 5: calling showed him. Play calling showed a lot of trust

238
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 5: from them but seeing their interaction on.

239
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 3: The sideline, I'm sure you got to see it. They're

240
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: high fiving, they're high fiving. He's proud of him.

241
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: But I also understand that on the other side of

242
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 5: the ball, we consider Dak a very cerebral player. He

243
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 5: sees it and getting to see it and execute it

244
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 5: from that way, it also gives you respect for what

245
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 5: your coach does, because I've learned that being in this business.

246
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 5: When I've met the producers and when I've met some

247
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: of the folks that that do the camera work on

248
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: the field and stuff, I have a different respect for

249
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 5: what they do. Just getting little bits and pieces of experience.

250
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: And it hit them and so, yeah, this is super healthy.

251
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought it up because I thought it

252
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 5: was something that went kind of under the radar last week.

253
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, this is so.

254
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 5: Healthy for this team and the cohesiveness on the offensive side.

255
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 6: Of the ball.

256
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: I knew you'd like that question for any chance we

257
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: get to hype up the did.

258
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: It But the best thing that Mike McCarthy and the

259
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: offense can do for Dak to make this truly Dak

260
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: friendly is to have a good run game and then

261
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 4: I think the big, big change with the offense this year.

262
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: You're just going to see Dak getting it out more quickly. Yes,

263
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: the guys out in space make plays. The Cowboys were

264
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: and Tony Pollard was tops in the league. But across

265
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: the board the Cowboys run after catch right or run

266
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: after contact. But those yards I think that's really gonna

267
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 4: pile up this season. And so one of the big

268
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 4: differences with the offenses. And instead of you know, looking

269
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: high to low your progression. And this is such a generalization,

270
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: but instead of high to low, it's more low to high.

271
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: Get the ball out, get the ball out, get the

272
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: ball out, let him make plays, get him in space.

273
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Something else that Mike McCarthy talked about in his

274
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: press conference was, you know, he he talked about, how,

275
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: you know, he's been in this league for years at

276
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: this point, I don't want to be disrespectful and people

277
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: be like, you're calling him old. No I'm not. But

278
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: he talked about when he was a coordinator, one of

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: the biggest things and challenges that he had was managing

280
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: his assistant coaches, and so he said, when it comes

281
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: to having a good coordinator, Because he was asked about

282
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn and if Dan's previous experience being a head

283
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: coach kind of helps delegate the roles now that he's

284
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: more involved with the play calling. How that translates. And

285
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: Mike said, you know, it does help because again, one

286
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: of the biggest flaws, and I believe he said one

287
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: of the biggest mistakes in his opinion that a coordinator

288
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: can do in the NFL is not have control of

289
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: the assistant coaches. And again we're talking about this this culture,

290
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: this environment that Mike McCarthy has really cultivated across the board.

291
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: He has Brian Schottenheimer, he has history with, He has

292
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: John Fossil, who the guys I mean, I've talked to

293
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: players from previous years, years ago that have worked with

294
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: John Fossil that have bones stories that they just show

295
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: what a great guy he is to work under. And

296
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: then you have Dan Quinn, which you know the dan

297
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: Quinn effect that comes within it. So this coaching staff,

298
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: they're ready and we're excited.

299
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: To see it.

300
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: There's one thing behind the scenes. We like to pull

301
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: the curtain back so that people know kind of some

302
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 4: of the things that the culture of the Cowboys or

303
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: how things work here at the Star and Frisco with

304
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 4: the team. And it goes to Just's point about the

305
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,239
Speaker 4: way that coach McCarthy tries to empower his staff, particularly

306
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: the young guys, and that's the general of the week

307
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: and having an assistant coach, it's a different coach throughout

308
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: the season, and on Friday, they are the ones that

309
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 4: speak to the team. They are the ones that prepare

310
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: the message for that day. And it's for a guy

311
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: like now Ryan Feeder, for example, an offensive assistant has

312
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: been with coach all the way back to the time

313

00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: not just in front of their room, their position group,

315

319
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: most in terms of I don't know, like distributing some

320
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: of the.

321
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,200

385
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: All right. Well, we're getting some questions more about Tyler

386
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: Smith some of the latest update injuries as well, so

387
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: let's get into that. Tyler Smith, as Christy mentioned earlier,

388
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: underwent was supposed to undergo an MRI today. According to

389
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones when he spoke on the fan, this was

390
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: a topic of conversation that was started pretty much right

391
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 2: after practice because he had walked off.

392
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: Christy did, Yeah, it was fairly fairly early in practice

393
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 4: and walked off with the athletic trainer, and so yeah,

394
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: that would be Finally, we just talked about getting all

395
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 4: the number of you know, the first team guys playing

396
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 4: together for the first time in a long time. But

397
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 4: we'll know more tomorrow again. Today today is the player's

398
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: day off. Of course, most of them come in even

399
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 4: on their day off for treatment and to you know,

400
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 4: get a lift session in and eat free lunch at

401
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: the Star and things like that. But we will not

402
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: see them on the practice field until almost about eleven

403
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 4: thirty tomorrow morning.

404
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so keeping a very close eye on that for

405
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: obvious reasons. We'll go back to that in a second.

406
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: I just want to get through the rest of these.

407
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: Sam Williams, from the portion that we were out in

408
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: practice yesterday, he was dressed in street clothes. I'm not

409
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: going to say didn't participate. We weren't out there for

410
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: the entirety of practice, but safe to assume if he's

411
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: in street clothes when we're out there, he probably.

412
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 4: Didn't hes the turf toe.

413
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: He does, he has the turf toe. So we haven't

414
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: really gotten an update on that yet. I'm assuming at

415
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: some point this week probably tomorrow.

416
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: With the Sunday games. The teams don't have to turn

417
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 4: in their official injury reports until Wednesday.

418
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll know more of all of this on Wednesday.

419
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: Donovan Wilson Christy.

420
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, well hi, Yeah, he was. He was the part

421
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 4: of practice that's open to the media during the regular season,

422
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 4: Donovan Wilson was on the side working with athletic training

423
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: round bands.

424
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, heavy on the bail.

425
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: He's had that calf injury. It was actually the first

426
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 4: training camp practice back on July twenty four, twenty six. Yeah,

427
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: and Oxnard that Wednesday practice. So, but we were talking

428
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: last week or Monday about the soft tissue injuries and

429
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: how it's hard to overcome those.

430
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I touch base with them in the locker room

431
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 9: because it's hard to catch them. Sometimes touch base with

432
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 9: them about it, and you know, with hamstrings specifically, like

433
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 9: they can linger if.

434
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: You rush it back or anything like that. And I

435
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: think he is very important to what they do. So

436
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 5: it feels like that's why it is if he doesn't

437
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 5: go this week, it's an extra precautionary like, no, we

438
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: just give it one more however long for it to

439
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 5: make sure that it doesn't linger. Later into the season

440
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: because he's such a pivotal part of the defense.

441
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so getting a lot of reps yes yesterday,

442
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: Marquise Bell and then we also saw Janya Thomas working

443
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: there as well.

444
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and Mike McCarthy when he was asked about Donna

445
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: during the press conference, he said he's getting close. That

446
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: was about it.

447
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: So but for McCarthy, it was very noncommittal.

448
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: It was commental. I mean, I'm talking like commitment. Mike

449
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy were not in the same room.

450
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 4: Right exactly.

451
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 2: So that's really that's really, Oh, we know so far

452
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: from what we saw in practice.

453
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: There is some good news though. Dorian's Armstrong, who hadn't

454
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: been practicing, yes since really second week of training camp,

455
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: and he wasn't going to play anyway in preseason, but

456
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 4: he was participating in practice.

457
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: There you go, So we start with the bad news

458
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: to get to the better news. I love that. Speaking

459
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: of being in practice again, guys have off today. What

460
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: were some of the key things that you saw in

461
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: the time that we were available and able to be

462
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: out on the practice field. I shall defer to you

463
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: for this one. Was there anything specific that really just

464
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: jumped out to you that was worth noting. O.

465
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they were running seven on sevens in

466
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: the red zone and number one, you could feel Deck's

467
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 5: intensity turn up this week. And then also to Brandon Cooks,

468
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: you could also feel his intensity in practice.

469
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: You could just he's ready to go, y'all.

470
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 5: Like you can see him high stepping into the end

471
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 5: zone and stuff. But he's I guess I didn't. We

472
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 5: haven't gotten that close to them to hear them. But

473
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 5: he's so strong and how he attacks the ball, and

474
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 5: that's what I've noticed very quickly, is that the quarterback

475
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 5: is getting his team ready.

476
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: To go, turning up the intensity.

477
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 5: And then also Brandon Cooks, being the veteran that he is,

478
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 5: you can tell that he has stepped it up so

479
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 5: the other guys can follow suit as well.

480
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had Jalen Tolbert on last night on the

481
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 4: Cowboy Hour, which is every Monday, and we do it

482
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 4: at six o'clock here at the Star District. So during

483
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 4: the season, if you're in the area on a Monday evening,

484
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: come to the Star District to have a chance to

485
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 4: sit in on the show and maybe meet a Dallas cowboy,

486
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 4: possibly get an autograph. But anyway, Jalen Tolbert, who is

487
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: the fourth wide receiver this year, he talked about Brandon

488
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: Cooks leadership. But one thing that Jalen did was go

489
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 4: with Brandon back to brandon Toe in Oregon and worked

490
00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: with him specifically. But Brandon, being the guy, the tutor

491
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 4: that he is pulling the young guy under his wing,

492
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 4: invited him, so they worked together out there. We know

493
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: about Jalen and the other wide receivers getting together with

494
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 4: Dak and doing a lot of stuff in the off season,

495
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 4: but actually the whole group ended up going up towards

496
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: that area where Brandon is and then other parts of

497
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 4: the country later in the spring. But it was really

498
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: cool to hear Brandon talk about excuse me, Jalen talk

499
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 4: about what Brandon had meant to him the soft season.

500
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: These guys will spew any chance you give them to

501
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: talk about Brandon Cooks for the impact that he's had.

502
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: I caught up with Michael Gallup in the locker room.

503
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 2: We had a really cool conversation where it's a story

504
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: that really writes itself when you talk to Michael Gallup

505
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: about what he wants from himself this year. He said

506
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: his goal was to play a full season obviously, but

507
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: his bigger goal, he said, was to just appreciate every

508
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: moment that he could that he hasn't been able to

509
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: get because of the injury last season. But when I asked,

510
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: when I asked him about Brandon said, I'm sure you're

511
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: so tired of answering this question when it comes to

512
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: how Brandon Cooks has helped you. You said, no, no, I'll

513
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: talk about Brandon all day every day. Have you seen

514
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: how fast that guy is? And I said no, because

515
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: he's so fast, I didn't see him. And he said exactly.

516
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: So I'm just really happy that this team has that guy.

517
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: You have that guy to really just emulate how well

518
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: you can still play ten years later when you're taking

519
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: care of your body and prioritizing things. I mean, MG

520
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: talked about the day Brandon Cooks got in there and

521
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: talked to everybody. The first thing he said was anything

522
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: you guys need, you let me know any single thing

523
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: you need. So really cool stuff there.

524
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: In fairness, you have that at every level, at almost

525
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 5: every position. You have a Zach Martin and a Tyron Smith.

526
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 5: You have a Leyton Vanderrush that spin in this leaf

527
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 5: for a good while now. Understands that linebacker position. Safety,

528
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 5: you get some Eli Cooker his bounce back, I mean

529
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 5: corner Stefan Diggs. That is one of the things we've

530
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 5: talked about on this show is that the maturity that

531
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 5: they've brought into this and not that there was a

532
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: lack of it, but the experience in the maturity of

533
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 5: the game that they brought into this locker room is

534
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 5: something that I think one.

535
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: Of is going to be one of the biggest factors

536
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 3: and how well they progressed.

537
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 5: This year is the seniority in these rooms can sometimes

538
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: bring pause and have the conversations that needs to be

539
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 5: had that happened during the season, or can reflect and

540
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 5: stuff like that.

541
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: You know, one thing I'd like to share, since we're

542
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 4: into pulling back the curtain and letting people know how

543
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: things work around here at the Star, if you were

544
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 4: to take a tour of AT and T Stadium and

545
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 4: go in the locker room, you would see that the

546
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 4: configuration of how it's laid out for the players is

547
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: very different from how it is during the week here

548
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 4: at the Star in Frisco. Keep in mind that the

549
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 4: only time the players are at AT and T Stadium

550
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 4: in Arlington is for game day. All the work is

551
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 4: done here at the Star in Frisco. And this is

552
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: something that Wade Phillips when he was the head coach

553
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, implemented. Most of you and a lot of

554
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: you have played football that are listening to us or watching,

555
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 4: and you know that like at and T Stadium, you

556
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: have one side of the locker room is offense, the

557
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 4: other is defense, and it's by position group so that

558
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: the offensive line coach Mike Solari can talk to the

559
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 4: offensive lineman you know at halftime, and the quarterbacks are together,

560
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: and then the wide receivers because you have your position

561
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 4: groups and then offense defense and then you go out

562
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: on the field. That's not the way it is here

563
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 4: at the Star. It is a mix, mix and match

564
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: around the locker room. So Dak Prescott is right in

565
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 4: the middle, by the way here at the start. The

566
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 4: locker room is shaped like the table here like our

567
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: studio table, it's shaped like a football. And so the

568
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 4: middle part Dak is in the middle. CD lamb on.

569
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: Once you said it, both of our lights like kind

570
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: of went on over here. I didn't notice that was

571
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: the tab of the table.

572
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: But instead of now actually it's interesting, Jess. Your favorite group,

573
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 4: the tight ends, all four of those guys happen to

574
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: be together. But everyone else you'll have a defensive lineman

575
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: next to an offensive lineman, next to a cornerback. And

576
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: it's really interesting because what happens on a team is

577
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 4: the same thing that happens in our workplace, in our schools,

578
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 4: in our churches, in our neighborhoods. We form clicks, don't we.

579
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 4: The offensive linemen are always together, the defensive linemen are

580
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: always together. But the way it is here at the Star,

581
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 4: you're not surrounded all the time. If you're a dB

582
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: by just the dbs, you're next to a tight end

583
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 4: and the punters on the other side of you over there,

584
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 4: So it forces the interaction and I think is really

585
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: important to the culture of the team. And maybe there

586
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 4: are some other NFL teams around the league that at

587
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 4: their practice facility have it that way. But I can

588
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 4: tell you the first what fifteen twenty years of me

589
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 4: doing the Cowboy, it was the same at the stadium

590
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: as it was at the time Valley Ranch, And it

591
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 4: was when Wade Phillips came in that it was more,

592
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 4: you know, mix and match, sure.

593
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: And I'm so glad you brought up the tight end

594
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: room because the first thing I noticed was that Luke's locker,

595
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: Luke Schoonmaker, his locker was added to the rest of

596
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: them with Sean McEwan and Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot.

597
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: And so I went up to him and I said, hey,

598
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: you're here now, and he was so excited to have

599
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 2: his locker by the rest of the tight end room.

600
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: And if you haven't been here, their lockers are in

601
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: the corner of the room, and so you just always

602
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: know there's going to be some kind of chaos when

603
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: you look over there. They were doing this little and

604
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: I didn't know this, actually, they were telling me yesterday.

605
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: I thought it was just a game that they were playing.

606
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: As far as you point one way, and the goal

607
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 2: of the game is you have to look the other

608
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: way from what the other person is pointing. So if

609
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: I look at Christy and I point this way, she

610
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: has to look any other direction. But they do it fast, right,

611
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: So they're going and they're making the these noises and

612
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: they're doing everything. And I asked Luke, I said, is

613
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: this a you guys thing or is this a football

614
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: drill thing. Am I new to this? What's going on?

615
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: He said, No, this is something that you know even

616
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: was introduced to some people back in high school. I

617
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: guess it's a it's a football drill, but it's called

618
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: shadow boxing, Thank you, Jazzy. However, the twist that the

619
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: tight Ends put on it is that they have kind

620
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: of a three out rule, and so, you know, the

621
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: drill is just you do it and you keep going

622
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: over and over. Oh no, your Dallas Cowboys tight Ends.

623
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 2: They do it until they get three out and then

624
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: everything erupts. You hear them scream. That's why he kept

625
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: hearing them scream in the corner, is because they have

626
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: three chances to kind of get it right, and then

627
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: once somebody messes up, then the game's over and then

628
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: they have bragging rights for the rest of the day.

629
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: I never thought i'd shato bags.

630
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what they were doing in the locker room.

631
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: You get that. I'm over here.

Speaker 2: last segment up to kind of what people want to know.

669
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,760

00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: I figured it'd be fun to open it up to

675
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: these questions. Aisha, You're gonna love this one we got

676
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: a question that says, do you think the Cowits are

677
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: considering matching digs up with Waller this week or is

678
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: it going to be cursed versus Waller for all four quarters?

679
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 5: It depends because last year, because I went back and

680
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 5: watched the game from last year and I saw there

681
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: was an they moved Darren not Darren Waller the.

682
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: Tight end at the time.

683
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 5: I can't remember, but Jaren kirsten't get a whole bunch

684
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 5: of play like he didn't get a lot of opportunities

685
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 5: to make plays on tight ends because they were moving,

686
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: they were moving their inside receiver.

687
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: And I think it was Ingram. I think it was Ingram. No,

688
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: that couldn't been anyway. I'm sorry.

689
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 5: But the way that I feel like that they're going

690
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 5: to I believe that they're gonna probably try to move

691
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 5: Darren Waller off of Jayron Curse. There might be different

692
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 5: instances where he's lined up on the outside as opposed

693
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 5: to being doing more the inside things. Because this is

694
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 5: that's the matchup for me, y'all. I think that that's

695
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 5: the boxing match that we're looking for, because you're talking

696
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 5: six ' four meets six ' six, long arms like

697
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 5: meets big catch radius. This is the matchup and with

698
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 5: him being with this receiver corps, the receiver corp on

699
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 5: the Giant side.

700
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: It's still fairly young, it's still.

701
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 5: Fairly trying to figure kind of figure things out. I

702
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 5: could see Darren Waller becoming a huge security blanket for

703
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones that is still young and developing. I think

704
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: jay Ron Curse is gonna get some some opportunities to

705
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 5: make some plays, as opposed to last year where it

706
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 5: seemed like there was an intention to make sure that

707
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 5: they didn't have to match up against him.

708
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: They definitely tried to bounce it to the outside more.

709
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: While we're staying on the topic of Sunday's matchup against

710
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: the New York Giants, Sunday Night Football, Welcome back. We

711
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: got a question, Christy. I'll defer this one to you.

712
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: We can open uh make an open discussion for this one.

713
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: Will Daniel Jones be able to make it out of

714
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: the game after this pummeling, Go Cowboys. That is from

715
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: Chris and San Angelo. We're going to reward that a

716
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: little nicer and say who was going to get the

717
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: first act? Sat?

718
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 4: Okay, See that's that's a great question. Lat there Micah

719
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 4: or d Law. I know I used to saying that

720
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 4: d Law ate them up last year. Here's the thing, Uh,

721
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones who was sacked eight times by the Cowboys

722
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 4: last year, five times in Week three up at MetLife Stadium.

723
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 4: And this year they've got a rookie center, John Michael

724
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 4: Schmidts John and Jacob Jingle anyway, and then uh, and

725
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: then I believe two rookies. Uh, I'm sorry they've been

726
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, the rookie center. And then they've been working

727
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 4: a rotation with kind of three different guards, so they're

728
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, I won't say unsettled, but they

729
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: that's something that they been working through this offseason as well. So, Uh, okay,

730
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 4: are you gonna take de Law? I'll take Micah, I'm

731
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 4: taking Delaw, You're taking Dealer.

732
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm taking Delaw. And that's because Delaw. He's somebody that

733
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: I've talked to a lot this offseason, and what I

734
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: really appreciate about him is he's like, look, I'm not

735
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: young anymore. I feel it in my age, I'm getting older.

736
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: But he said, I'm still ready to go, and I'm

737
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 2: still just as hyped as I once was when I

738
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: was a young, young spring chicken. Right, My word's not his,

739
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: but he was talking about how he feels older. The

740
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: thing is is he was so underappreciated in the Giants

741
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: games because it seemed like what was going on was

742
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 2: Stable was a little too focused on Micah Parsons and forgot, Hey,

743
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: you have a tank on the other side of the line.

744
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: You don't just have a line to really worry about.

745
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: So I think, yes, they're gonna be a little bit

746
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: smarter and covering both of them. I think you're gonna

747
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: see de La have probably double coverage this game compared

748
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: to what he did last time. However, I'm still going

749
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: to say he is going to get the first sack

750
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: of this game. However, in case you didn't know, Michael

751
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: Gallup also told me that the offense and the defense

752
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: are having a competition for who can get the most takeaways,

753
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: the most sacks, and the most touchdowns against each other.

754
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: So you're having a little internal battle. You can't tell

755
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: me when you get a d Law and a Michael

756
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 2: Parsons that know that there's like a competition going on,

757
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: they're not going to make sure it happened. Yeah.

758
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 4: The only thing is, you know d Law may be

759
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 4: the better bet because Andrew Thomas is their Pro Bowl

760
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 4: second team All Pro, so that he plays on the

761
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 4: left side. But okay, if you're gonna take d Law

762
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 4: and you've got Micah, then I'll just do a curve ball.

763
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: You didn't even let me ask it.

764
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, I thought you were taking this.

765
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: She took.

766
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: Okay, who you got?

767
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 3: I got also DIGGI zoo.

768
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's so curveball.

769
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm saying because yeah, I'm saying, because I mean,

770
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 5: John you just mentioned the interior, and then also too,

771
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 5: you have a young rookie come in as center if

772
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 5: their tackles are better suited, which it sounds like, if

773
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 5: that's the strength I see Dan Quinn and those gentlemen

774
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 5: attacking the interior and so the osodiggy zouas, maybe we

775
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 5: might get.

776
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: A Jonathan Hanken sack because he in the off season.

777
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: I mean y'all laughing, y'all laughing, But he had one

778
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 5: in the San frank game.

779
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 3: But also he's been working in the off season to

780
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: improve that. Also.

781
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: The one thing about Daniel Jones though, is he is

782
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 4: such an effective runner. Yes, and so you have to

783
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 4: you it's not one of these things. Even though they

784
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 4: sacked to make times last year, this isn't one of

785
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: those things where you just pin your ears back and

786
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 4: go after him. You have to be gap responsible. You

787
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 4: have to keep them in because he was their second

788
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 4: leading rusher last year. I mean, he had over seven

789
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 4: hundred rushing yards and he's very effective in that and

790
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 4: kind of a sneaky, sneaky fast kind of guy. And

791
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: so let me just yeah, so he rushed for a

792
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 4: team record for a quarterback Giants seven hundred and eight

793
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 4: yards and one hundred and twenty carry and seven rushing touchdowns. So, uh,

794
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 4: and as it's it's just make sure that that you

795
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 4: keep them in the well, that's where, yeah, you can

796
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 4: keep them real quick.

797
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: We got another question. Let's let's switch lines a little bit.

798
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: Let's talk about some offensive line. Chris wants to know

799
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: with a possible Tyler Smith hamstring issue. Uh, you're you're

800
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: talking kind of a long term injury. I'm trying to

801
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: paraphrase this. Uh, if if that happens, what did the

802
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: Cowboys do? Where does the line kind of shift at

803
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: that point? Who shifts? Who steps in? What does your

804
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 2: line look like if Tyler Smith is not able to play,

805
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: So I'm.

806
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 5: Going to assume that uh to Maydoga would be the

807
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 5: gentleman that maybe they put in at the left guard position.

808
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: I believe, and this is me from evaluating TJ. Bus,

809
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 3: that he could fill in at left guard.

810
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 5: That is where he played in college. He's an interior player.

811
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 5: But I'm I would this is a big this is

812
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 5: a big game. I don't know if they want to

813
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 5: put him in that position to start. Maybe they go

814
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 5: with a veteran that's been under the lights before or

815
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: something like that.

816
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna to answer.

817
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 5: Your question, sir, I think I believe that it would

818
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: be maybe a too many Doga that would come in

819
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 5: and and shure up that left guard spot until Tyler

820
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 5: was ready to go.

821
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: And don't forget awesome Richards, you know, has some position

822
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 4: flex too. But the one thing is just in regards

823
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 4: to being active on game day, whether or not Tyler

824
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: Smith you know, is one hundred percent or ninety percent

825
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 4: or whatever. The Cowboys are definitely going to have eight

826
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 4: offensive linemen up because if you have in the past,

827
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 4: teams with including the Cowboys, would sometimes only have seven

828
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 4: offensive linemen up. But if you have eight offensive Lineman up.

829
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 4: Then you can have forty eight players active on game

830
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 4: day as well as with the new rule this year,

831
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: your third quarterback. So so I think that don't be

832
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 4: surprised if Awesome and Bass might be at Hoffman as well.

833
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 4: Don't forget they could, you know, make him a elevation

834
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 4: and have him available too, because he's got more experience

835
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 4: than richardson Bass. So it's going to be interesting to

836
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 4: see how they maneuver it.

837
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: I swear you read my mind, Christy, because I was

838
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: just about to ask you about that third quarterback role.

839
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: We got some clarity from the NFL and what exactly

840
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: that is. Let's go through that, let's talk. That's kind

841
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: of it's a little bit of an interesting role. It

842
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: reminds me of the hockey rule that was put into

843
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 2: place that I learned about last season when we're talking

844
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: about hockey. But Christy, talk about that third quarterback rule

845
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: and how exactly that can come into play. Kind of

846
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: what that looks like.

847
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 4: Okay, even though there are fifty three people on the roster,

848
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 4: not all fifty three, it can be active on game day.

849
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 4: You can have up to forty eight players active, meaning

850
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 4: that you would have to deactivate five if eight offensive

851
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 4: linemen are available. If you only have two backup linemen active,

852
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 4: then you'd be down to forty seven. The rule for

853
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 4: the third quarterback this year is if he is on

854
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 4: your fifty three man roster and not elevated from the

855
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 4: practice squad, then he basically is like an extra player,

856
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 4: but he can only enter the game if the first

857
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 4: two players are injured and or being evaluated for injury.

858
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 4: In other words, they suck and we're going to go

859
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 4: with the young guy, or we just want to get

860
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 4: a young guy some work because we're up by thirty points.

861
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 4: Not going to happen. It has to be injury related

862
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 4: and so yeah, so it's very convoluted. The one thing

863
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 4: that is different because there I know there are some

864
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,479
Speaker 4: super big, long term NFL fans out there that listen

865
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 4: to this. The old rule was if the third quarterback

866
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 4: went in, there used to be an emergency third quarterback

867
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 4: and if they win in the game, the first two

868
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 4: player the first two quarterbacks could not go back in.

869
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 4: That is not the case with this rule. If one

870
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: of your first two quarterbacks is healthy enough to re

871
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 4: enter the game, they would be allowed to if they

872
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 4: get hurt again, the third quarterback could go back in.

873
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 4: Does that make sense? I know it's very convoluted, and

874
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that it's kind of the wheels are spinning here,

875
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 4: but it's it's a complicated rule. And hopefully we don't

876
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 4: see Trey.

877
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: Lance play this year, right, Let's hope not let's hope.

878
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 4: But he will be but he you know, expect him

879
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: to be in uniform and on the sideline. But only

880
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 4: if Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were both injured not

881
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 4: or being evaluated for injury, would Trey Lance be able

882
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 4: to go in the game.

883
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, speaking of which, we saw him

884
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: at practice and he's still learning. You can see the

885
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: progress that he is making. But speaking of practice, that

886
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 2: will be once again tomorrow the Dallas Cowboys continue their

887
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 2: preparation for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. We

888
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 2: will hear again from Mike McCarthy tentatively as well, and

889
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 2: then there will be more player availability. So that means

890
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: now that we are back in the swing of the

891
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,399
