Good stuff? 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.400 No goot the heavy back right here at the beginning 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.880 of the real countdown to the draft. We're nine days 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.280 away now from the start of the draft and the 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.520 I mean we've always called it on the Draft Show 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.240 it's lying season, and I completely agree with that. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.680 I mean, you get to hear different rumors almost every single. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.400 Day that we're out here about what could possibly happen, 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.079 where the Cowboys could go, where the other thirty one 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.400 teams in the NFL could go. 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.120 I don't care about them, and well you should care 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:28.720 a little. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.400 Bit, a little bit, just a tiny bit. 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.079 I really have to care, just to figure out what 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.920 are you doing in front but a couple things before 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.679 we get into some diving in draft talk using notes. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.440 Patrick Absolutely, So, yesterday, on Monday, April fourteenth, the Cowboys 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:49.200 officially began their voluntary OTAs, so their offseason program is 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:55.200 now underway. The players are reporting to the facility, which 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.560 for all intents and purposes, officially launched. Just a Brian Shottenheimer, 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.400 because now everybody's in the building, Headliners, Dak Prescott in attendance, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.959 and I know there's another one that everybody wants to 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.760 talk about. Michael Parsons is in the building. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.040 Oh, I was gonna say, DU's fine. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.560 You're gonna say, yeah, that's fair. Shouts out to Duce 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.240 he was out there. Shouts to Solomon Thomas. That was nice. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.880 I like to see that Salomon Thomas was in the 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.600 building early yesterday. So far an incoming free agent to 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.200 be ready to hit the ground running like that. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:24.880 That's good stuff. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.400 But Michael Parsons, we talked about it last week and 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.000 I said, I believe that, you know, part of the 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.760 contract negotiation between Micah and and the Cowboys is kind 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.600 of going to be determined by if he shows up 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.400 and honors his word at voluntary OTAs and going forward 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.080 because last couple of off seasons, you know, he's worked 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.000 out on his own, you know, rather be in a 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.280 beach on a beach or Sumore wrestling on the other 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.520 side of the planet. Michael was doing his own thing. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.840 Now he's showing the leadership. He's here, he's in the building, 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.040 he reported yesterday, and he's already hit the ground running 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.720 for Matt eber Flus and some of these other guys 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.240 love to see it. I think that can only speak 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.120 positively as far as where this contract talk, these contract 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.240 talks can go over the next couple of days, a 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.520 couple of weeks. I really believe in my heart of 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.440 hearts this will expedite it. I think this will expedite it. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.160 So Michael Parsons is in the building, dek Prescott's in 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.320 the building. A lot of other players are still filling in. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.239 But yeah, so big news there yesterday, and it should 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.839 have been a non story. But considering who we're talking 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.799 about in the contract talks, I get why it's the story. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.080 So the lion is in his den. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:36.240 Well, and part of the negotiation process that hasn't been 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.440 kept under wraps really at all. I feel like most 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.800 of the conversations have been at least aired out from 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.040 one side or the other, either the Jones side, the 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.400 front office side, or the Parsons side and his agency side. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.560 So you see the negotiations and part of what the 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.560 Jones family in the front office want to see as 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.360 a leadership role. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:56.600 Yep. 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.159 They want to see him step up in a bigger way, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.160 whether that's in practice or film study or whatever it 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.480 may be, just to help this team get better along 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.159 the way, not saying he hasn't done that in the past. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:09.360 Now. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.839 Voluntary workouts have been hit or miss in the past. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.039 Right last year, he missed all of them last year 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:16.159 across the planet. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.760 So he was hanging out with C. J. Stroud wherever, which. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.080 Was a great cause. He was sure with the youth. 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:22.960 Over there exactly. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.040 But he's here, and I think that's important to note 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.479 when he is here and he's working out and he's 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.560 part of the voluntary like you said in quotations here 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.840 a second ago, Isaiah, is voluntary. You need to be here, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.040 and he's here, so that's a good thing. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.320 I don't know that it's necessarily it's. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.640 I don't think it's a signed to what is to 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.200 come of contract talk. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.120 I mean, I think that he we saw last year 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.839 and based upon the things that he stated last year 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.719 in regards to him trying to step up as a leader, sure, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.040 he was making a very asserted effort in that area. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.680 He also was very outspoken in regardless of when d 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.720 Law parted, right, and we understand that that is a 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.360 huge vacancy in regards to leadership in that particular position 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.679 at the defensive end spot. He's also been very vocal 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.440 about other players in college football that were opting to 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.200 not show up. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:21.800 Right. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.080 So you couple all those things together, and then you 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.080 factor in the fact that he's has a new defensive 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.000 coordinator that he needs to get acquainted with and that 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.960 is going to perceive him as the as the leader 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.800 just by impact alone. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.440 Right, you're considered a leader. You're in a position of leadership. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.160 I don't want to say you're considered a leader, but 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.920 you're in a position of leadership when you are the 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.600 top player on that side of the ball. So he 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.760 has that going and then yea, then you can throw 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:48.760 talk about the contract. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:49.000 Right. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:50.560 Then a contract comes in, right, so you have all 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.440 those other things and then the contract. So I don't 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.320 believe that this is going to expedite the talks. I 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.400 don't believe that this is going to have any impact 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.200 on their ability to get a deal done. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.640 I don't think it's going to impact the bottom line numbers. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.760 I just think that it's a good thing that he's 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.080 here because he needs to be here right for a 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.279 number of reasons. But I don't think that any of 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.000 it is in regards. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.440 To his contract. So a couple of things. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.560 One I do agree one wholeheartedly, just wholeheartedly with what 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.320 you're saying. As far as new defensive coordinator one hit 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.360 the ground running. And we sat here at this table 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.120 this time last year, and I distinctly remember Isaiah's standback 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.440 feeling away because Mike Zimmer was in the building. Michael 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.280 Parsons was not in the building. So for all the 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.400 things that Isaiah's saying, we have the receipts. Isaiah said 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.960 the same thing in the un verse when Michael was 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.400 not in the building. So on what I say, what 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.239 I mean by expediting it, I think that Coyle referenced 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.000 a little bit in his transition point to you in 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.040 that I think the Cowboys want to completely see the 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.160 leadership role. I think they're already all in for the 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:57.640 most part. 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.800 I mean the ex's and oh's. It's hard not to 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:00.320 be right. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.680 The x's and o's, they're all in on Michael Parsons. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.160 We just like to see this right. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.400 They're ready, they're ready to get this deal done. It 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.440 takes two to tangle. So keep that in mind, folks, 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:15.480 when you're in person. Right, But there have been question marks, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.080 maybe not necessarily upstairs, but there have been question marks. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.600 And there's the narrative, let me put it that way. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.480 There's the narrative that Michael Parsons he focuses too much 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.640 on the podcast. He's not the leader in the locker room, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.040 so forth and so on. We saw Michael start to 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.480 make the transition to being a leader in the locker 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.880 room last year. Saw how he took guys like Mozzie 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.840 Smith under his wing as early as training camp last season, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.360 pushing Mazzi after practice when the cameras were all gone, 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.199 it was he and Mozzi Smith out there running drills 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:42.520 and things. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.600 There was a considerable step. 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:48.000 Absolutely, So he has been transitioning to that leadership. So 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.960 the only question that remained in the narrative, whomever is 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.560 carrying the narrative. The only question was when the contract, 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.640 If the contract is still not in place, is he 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.280 willing to show up to volunteerta something he's not done 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.360 in seasons past? 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.960 So can I can I bring up two more questions 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.960 now now that we've checked the box on that one. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.520 The next one is will he be willing to continue 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:19.000 showing up for voluntary workouts and in the mandatory mini 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.120 camp and you've got OTAs and you've got the rest 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.160 of the off season workouts. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:23.040 I mean this is. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.040 Day one, We're talking day one, and I mean we 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.240 don't know who's there today at the moment, and you know, like, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.120 will he continue. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:32.959 To step up? That's my first question. 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.280 The second question is when the contract does come, We've 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.040 seen a step forward in the leadership. We've seen a 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.760 step forward in his mentality, uh to be a better teammate, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.440 to be a better leader, into to kind of take 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.040 on a veteran role. When the contract does come, is 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.320 this all for the contract or is it a change 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.480 that will last further into his career? Because I think 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.880 there are Cowboys fans out there, not me included. I 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.200 believe in Micah and I really do think it is 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.120 a legitimate transition. However, there are fans out there and 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.679 there are people out there in the league that don't feel. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.960 That way, and I get their standpoint because they don't 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.680 have all the information. Sure, right, when you talk about 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.760 like individuals such as ourselves, others in the building who 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.880 watch and speak with Micah on a regular basis, sometimes 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.560 on a daily basis, especially in season when the cameras 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.160 are not around, we're looking at him. We're seeing how 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.280 he moves or seeing how he conducts himself around other players. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.760 We're talking to other players who are talking positively about 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.480 Micah and the growth that he's had. I don't believe 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.040 this is disingenuous and simply tied to a contract. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.480 I believe this is a maturation Process's good. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.240 I think he's growing up and growing into right, he's 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.440 growing up and growing into the realization, especially now with 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.959 the partying of ways with you, the Marcus Lawrence and 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.400 the Cowboys, and you saw how he jumped in front 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.760 of that train. For me, that had nothing to do 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.720 with the contract. That was Michael Parson saying, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.960 Whatch You're not going to do is leave and then 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.439 turn around and throw shade at my team like he's 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.319 embodying it as my team. So to answer that second question, 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.280 I believe that this is one hundred percent Micah maturing 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.560 and understanding this is his team and it has to 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.800 be his team going forward. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:16.839 Good well put. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.240 Yeah, the DeMarcus Lawrence situation certainly does does shed a 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.600 little bit of light light on what he has been 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.400 and what he's meant to this team around him too. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.839 Guys like, oh, sir, and I know he's gone now, 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.719 but Chauncey in that whole scenario all stepped up and 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.760 we're on Micah's side of that whole ordeal. So just 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.640 something to keep in mind is this ongoing saga will continue, 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.880 I mean until the contract is signed and then after 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:44.240 that we've seen that too. It'll continue, but it's just 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.960 another step along the way. What other news and notes. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:47.360 Do we have here? 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.199 We have We're still waiting for one other thing to drop. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.719 Hopefully that drops before the show is concluded, So put 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.200 a pin in that latest. If it does, we'll let 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.880 you know absolutely in real time. One of the few 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:00.960 times we got it in real time is supposed. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.439 To after the show and talk about it on the 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:04.040 Draft show. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:05.400 Oh, thirty seconds. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.959 We did get another update on Dak Prescott. I was 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.800 able to speak to Dak Prescott a couple weeks ago. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.160 Tommy Yard spoke to Dak Prescott from the Children's Cancer 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.920 Fund Gala did some great work out there on Saturday, and. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.160 I believe Friday Friday, if I'm not mistaken. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:23.240 Nonetheless, Dak Prescott continues to make progress in his recovery 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.880 from that hamstring injury. There's been discussion because of Jake 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.520 Ferguson's social media post calling him the Slim Reaper and 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.800 saying that he dropped fifty pounds. He has not dropped 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.040 fifty pounds. Dak Prescott has not dropped fifty pounds. Dak 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.880 qualified a little bit differently. He said, more or less 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.360 he's at the same weight. It's just reproportioned, right, So 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.600 it's more mass in his legs and his thighs and 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.760 his quads and whatnot. As he recovers and he gets 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.920 more strength and builds more muscle to try to prevent 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.240 that type of injury from happening again in the future. So, no, 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.840 he's not down fifty pounds. I've even seen some reports 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.440 that he's down thirty pounds. Let Dak tell it, and 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.600 he would know better than anybody. He's not down any 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.360 pounds air quoting around any but he definitely looks a 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.360 bit slimmer, but he's not necessarily again reproportioned muscle. But 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.600 one thing that stuck out for me was him saying 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.400 that if the Cowboys had to play a game today, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:12.560 he could go. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:13.280 Yeah. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.400 Now, of course that's I know what you're about to say. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.040 Easy to say when you don't actually have to play 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.840 a game, right, But the fact that he has that 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.679 level of optimism, combined with what we are seeing from 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.760 the videos that are being posted him doing workouts with receivers. 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:29.440 He's throwing. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.800 You know, he's planting well, and anyone who's who remembers 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.280 in real time when the injury happened, he couldn't plant 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.079 because it's his plant leg, right, So he's planting, he's throwing, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.160 there's some vlo on the throws, right, he's rotating, so 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.480 things are looking good. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.839 Does this mean he won't start on the pup list 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:49.640 for training camp to be determined? 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.000 To be determined, but he as he's tracking, he's tracking 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.600 that there's a solid shot that he may dodge the 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.559 pup list. I don't believe it until I said giant 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.680 race in the hips. Until I can see the sausage 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.880 ration hips again, I don't believe you're deck Oda. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.360 He hasn't been the same, hasn't been the same since 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.400 Hi went away. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.319 I'm with you. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.439 I I think we're gonna get to Oxnard. I think 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.400 he'll be ready week one, don't get me wrong. And 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.320 he's not gonna play in the preseason. So we're what we're. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.400 Talking about some times practice sometime. 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.920 We're alan ivers here, talk about practice. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.440 In July August. You got four months, He's got time. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.680 He'll be fine. If he ends up going to training camp, great. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.280 If not, we get a great look at Joe Milton 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.080 and Will Greer, and we get to see what they 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.680 can do from an increased number of snaps, both which 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.280 the train and the preseason, which is not a bad thing. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:44.800 So ceede. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.640 Lambs hold out that benefited Jaylen Tobert, Jalen Brooks and 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:55.280 some of those benefits. No, I want transition to a 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.400 slow start is what you're getting at. 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.960 But we'll see if it is baking. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.400 Yeah, it'll it'll benefit some of the guys on the 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:03.480 back of it. 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.360 But yeah, I want him there. I just don't. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.400 I'm with Isaiah, I won't believe it until I see. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:10.120 It, tossa himps. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.160 And also, what even more so to your point, is 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.080 we talk about with Micah and a new DC, even 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.240 though Schottenheimer was already here, it's now Shottenheimer's team. And 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.480 now you have a new OC combined with that, and 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.720 then you have a new OL coach and Connor Rdle, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.880 you have a lot of new pieces, and of course 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.080 asterisk next to new or next to Schottenheimer's name when 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.960 you say new. But again, things are being changed on 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.160 the offensive side of the ball and in massive ways, 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.640 and you need and you would love to have Dak 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.480 Prescott ready to go day one in ox SNAr. 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.040 But you and I both know you and not we three. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.640 We know they are not going. 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.880 To push the issue if that push is going to 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.400 risk his availability at any point next season, rather it 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.680 be upfront or on the back end, because they didn't 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.280 handle it correctly on the front end. So if they 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:01.600 need to put him on the pub list for a 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.520 couple of days just as a precaution, then they'll absolutely 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.280 do it. But he's making some good progress, so he 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.760 might dodge it all together. Yeah, any other notes, Nothing 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.240 that comes to mind right now unless we get the 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:14.120 news that drops. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.320 Okay, so there we go. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.760 We're gonna take our first break here on Talking Cowboys. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.360 When we come back, I've got the YouTube fan comment. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:21.320 Of the day.
