Patrick No see Walker. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.280 All right, So, first of all, to confirm for everyone, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.720 Carl Lawson has officially signed to the Cowboys. He is 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.279 officially on the roster. Cowboys do have a full padded 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.400 practice today. Carl Lawston is expected to participate, but we 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.840 will I'm sorry, we have a mott game today. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.960 We have a mock game. See three days, I'm coming 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.000 home days. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.360 You know what, good break, Give us a break. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.200 Cowboys have a mock game today. Raiders, Oh that's cold. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.560 Bless their hearts. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.960 He's expected to participate in the mock game, which is 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.720 essentially a walkthrough for the Cowboys. But we will speak 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.600 with head coach Mike McCarthy uh this afternoon in a 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.720 few hours to confirm if that's going to be the case. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.200 Fullp had a practice will resume on tomorrow, which is 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:25.120 going to be Tuesday. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.880 Tomorrow's Tuesday or tomorrow, I think. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.040 Corresponding move Earl Bostic offensive linemen offensive tackle specifically will 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.839 be moved to IR ahead of roster cutdowns. He will 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.160 unfortunately join Chilma Idoga the other Cowboys backup tackle on 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.760 IR Cowboys as a reminder, signed Cole Cabron, and Cole 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.440 Cabron was on the field against the Raiders. Didn't look 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.560 half bad for a guy that had just gotten here, 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.640 and nor did Jordan Phillips, who looked really good for 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.320 a guy who got here two days before. He took 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.600 the field headline. Obviously, over the weekend, Mazzie Smith. Mazzie 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.440 Smith suffered an allergic reaction on what would have been 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.200 his travel day, the team's travel day to Las Vegas, UH. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:10.240 It required treatment, transportation to the hospital, follow up reevaluation. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.160 On Saturday morning, he was unable to travel. He was 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.440 held back here in Oxnar for medical reasons not cleared. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.400 And we will get an update from Micha McCarthy again 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.080 when we speak to him today on the status of 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.400 Mazzie Smith. But I'm told that he is doing better. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.600 He's making progress, which is the good news. But we'll 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.840 see if he participates in today's Mott game or tomorrow's 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:30.720 full padded practice. 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.760 In the bottom line is, once he was left back, 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.720 he was never coming. The Cowboy just didn't want to 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.520 say it. Certainly they were being conscious and from a 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.000 pr standpoint. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.120 You have to do that, but it may be a 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.040 little optimistic. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.640 Yeah, but yeah, holding out hope. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.920 He was in he was in the hospital for four hours. Okay, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.920 he had an EpiPen. I mean, there's there's you know, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.000 they just they just didn't want to you know, obviously 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.200 they gonna piece build information. But there was no way 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.040 he was coming fly toy Man Saturday morning for a 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.360 preseas again, there was no point. Yeah, you know, what 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.720 he had gone through, that experience, had gone through, that 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.160 was way was coming. The good news is he is 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.240 feeling better. The Cowboys optimistic, you know, obviously he'll make 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.920 a full recovery from you again, from whatever it was 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.720 was a leergic reaction. We don't really know the severity 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.920 of whatever else. And and and so now just on 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.640 the process. We gotta do the reconditioning, We gotta do 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.640 all of that, you know, getting back and getting ready 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.120 to go for the start of the season. But you know, 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.360 you Alma's working by Jordan Phillips, who just got here, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.640 and certainly he's a veteran, he knows the scheme. I 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.279 don't know how much he would have played if Mozzy 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.560 would have been out there. Certainly talked to the Cowboys. 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.160 He probably would have played anyway, but he played more 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.719 than expected that I think he started the game. Uh, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.239 certainly because mozz wasn't there that you know, they wanted 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.360 Mozi to play, but for a veteran no practice time 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.719 with the Cowboys, just signed with late Wednesday Night joined 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.880 the team. Good snaps and show you you know why 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.880 they brought him here? Would he in concert with Mozzi 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.880 helped shore up the depth on that defensive line. Was 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:56.320 a good movie. 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.720 And what actually makes it even more interesting about Jordan 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.760 Phillips is they didn't drop him down in the one 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:01.839 tech at the nose tackle. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.200 He started at the three tech in place of Osa. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:08.159 So it was uh, it was Jordan Phillips playing alongside 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.880 Justin Rogers rookie seventh round pick who got a lot 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.640 of reps obviously in the absence of Mazzi. So interested 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.600 that something interesting to keep an eye on. When you're 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.040 talking about Jordan Phillips. Obviously, the immediate thought is he 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.239 comes in and he plays in rotation with Mazzie Smith, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.320 which is likely, but the fact that he shows some 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.039 good things at the three tech, maybe he gets some 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.560 reps in rotation with Osa as well. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.560 So that's that's the dirty little secret. There's really no 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.640 backup three tech. Yeah, there's no backup. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.080 It's not it's not a secret, you know, and so 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:34.000 you you. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.120 You know, so you know that's the thing when I 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.960 when I talk about the defensive line, you know, he's 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.320 coming into camp. There were questions certainly with with Mazzi, 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.760 just because of last year and the unknown. Yeah, but 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.719 there was no proven depth at either position, you know, 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.080 on the defensive line. And I'm and I've said it, 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.720 it's hard to build a good defense if you're not 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:56.559 strong up to the middle. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:57.040 Yep. 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.640 Because it'specially to be him the stop to run, and 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.760 it was that they had to show up. They should 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.359 have showed up. They started body in Jordan Phillips and 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.560 I don't know if they're done and I don't think 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.440 they're done looking at help for that defensive line because 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.120 again six six, three, fourteen or three whatever he is, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.839 it's not your idea three technique, right, He's he's historically 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.400 been a one technique, but he does have push. He's 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.240 you know, he one year had nine nass snacks, So 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.800 he can't get up and feel he can't do that. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.320 The Mazies has had some does some things that three techniques, 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.520 So you're gonna rotate those three guys, but you still 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:29.799 need up up the middle. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:30.240 Yeah. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:30.360 No. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.599 I was even talking to Nick even about how impressive 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.040 Jordan Phillips was in his first performance, especially after just 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.599 signing only a few days before the game and actually 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.400 like taking snaps a lot of snaps uh in the 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.920 first half of that game. It's really impressive, especially at 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.760 a guy his size, and he's a big dude. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.120 I don't know if you guys have seen him around. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:50.800 It's a large He's not small. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:51.880 Now, he's not Jordan Phillips. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.280 Jordan Phillips is a freaking building with legs right, which 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.680 is you know, nose tackle. But Carl Lawson is not 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.320 a small guy. I mean, what are we talking here? 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.200 Six two two sixty five give or take. So he's 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.560 gonna come in and give you the help on the 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.920 defensive end that you're gonna lose with the loss of 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.120 Sam Williams, and he's gonna help mar Shan Kneeling and 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.480 those guys come along on the end. What's interesting though, 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.480 is let's see what they do with Chauncey Ghoston because 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.120 when Sam Williams went down, Chaunsea Gooston was moved back 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.720 out to the defensive end. And for those that may 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.320 not know, Chauncey Gooston started his career with the Cowboys 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.280 on the edge and he was moved inside. So they're 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.600 gonna use some versatility with Chauncey Goosten to try to 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.600 help at the three tech. Maybe they'll get Carl Lawston 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.240 involved in the three tech a little bit on some 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.200 of those lighter four man fronts and three man fronts 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.000 to kind of on those passing downs to kind of 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.040 get pressure. But it'll be interesting to see how they 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.760 work it because Clarence is right. Uh, we talk about 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.000 the nose tackle rotation a lot, and you know Jordan 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:42.960 Phillips ideally he's gonna come in and help with that. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.000 You got Albert Huggins who actually played much better against 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.320 the Raiders, and then you got Justin Rodgers. But that 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.400 three tech is is really thinned behind Osin. 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.400 Well, God, it was, let's just I'm glad you brought 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.119 the b Alpa hooks because he got a lot of crap, 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.160 a lot of grief deserved lists know, for for for 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.000 what he did and against the against the Rams. Uh, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.560 lesson learned. Everybody thought, well he should be fired and 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.080 he should be cut and all this other stuff. The Cowboys, 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.840 you know, young guy trying to make the team was 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:19.600 oldly aggressive. Again Mike McCarthy said, it's unacceptable, but kept 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.320 the right attitude and had a good game against the 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.600 Raiders and show you know why they brought him in here. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.560 And and you know, we'll see if he makes a team. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.000 And you know he's he's at that position we're talking about. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.400 But uh so, good for him to show some growth, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.760 uh and good for the Cowboys to show some facing 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:36.400 with him. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:37.040 Uh. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.319 But just get him back. You again, defensive men, I 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.160 I still you know, lost him and you you talk 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.160 about Sam Williams, but it's really about also making up 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.400 for dorans to the guys that left. I mean, they 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.240 lost a lot of veterans, you know who were part 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.400 of that rotation. And you wanted use Mazi and linebackers. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.800 So you did admit as much in help as you 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.080 can and as well she can still do something things 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.240 you want with MAZI. And speaking of in help as 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.160 I was naming some of those guys like Carl Lawson obviously, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.439 Marshawn Kneeland let's not forget al Quade, my himIt Mohammed 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.400 al buddy, my Muhammad Aqm, as I like to call him. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.520 He's been practicing very well since he arrived. He was 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.640 in that workout group with Shaka, Tony and Carl Lawson, 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.880 and you know, AQM got the nod and he's been 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.559 doing well in camp, trending in the right direction. Two 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.640 preseason games under his belt. He's improving as the preseason 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.600 games go along. So I keep an eye out for 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:30.520 AQM as well. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.559 Absolutely, all right, boy, So well, let's get into the 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.480 game itself. We played, uh, the Las Vegas Raiders only 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.840 a few days ago at Allegiant Stadium, Raid the Raiders, 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.280 and it ended up sounding. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.040 More like a Dallas game. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:45.719 Uh. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.360 The fans were live, the fans were live. It was 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.560 it was a great setting. That stadium is beautiful. I 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.440 do have to say that, like, it was a vibe agreed. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.719 And and you know, for for all of the talk 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.280 about what the stands and ox start looks look like, 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.760 let me tell you the Cowboys fans effectively took over 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.160 at some point against the Raiders and we started hearing. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.160 Chances against the Cowboys. Yeah. I tried to be nice, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:10.720 but okay, let's throw that out the window. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.480 Cowboys fans showed up and they were hot and heavy 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.640 going into the Raiders preseason game. And as the game 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.360 went on and the Cowboys started to pull away, the 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.040 Raiders fans got quiet and you heard the entirety of 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.240 let's go Cowboys, Let's go Cowboys. So Cowboys fans are 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.800 energized this season. Obviously, they have a right to be critical. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.040 I mean, when you end the season like the Cowboys 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.920 ended against the Green Bay Packers, I get that Cowboys 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:36.319 have a lot to fix and they have a lot 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.080 of pressure on the line when you talk about guys 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.520 who are on one year contract, including coaches as well. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.160 And that's one of the reasons I believe that we 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.120 still have three days left out here before we go home. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.400 Mike McCarthy trying to maximize the amount of time he 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.439 has with his guys in training camp text put them 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:51.680 on the right foot going forward. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.680 Well, I think that more than one thing can be true. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.600 There's a lot of Cowboy fans, okay, a lot of 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.000 Cowboy fans, a lot of frustrated Cowboys. There's still a 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.679 lot of doghard Cowboys fans Okay, So yes, they're fans 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.000 who are disillusioned. They're fans who are frustrated. They're fans 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.679 who I'm not giving Jerry my money anymore. And then 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.760 they're fans who cowboys. No matter what, I'm rooting for 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.600 the jersey. And they were there, not like I went 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.320 to the the Aces game. A lot of cowboy jerseys. There, 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.480 a lot of cowboys. They walk into the casinos, you know, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.679 you know, because the cowboys were standing at the MGM 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.000 park and I'm go to the metal. They paid and 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.000 there's so many fans in town and cowboy jerseys and 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.959 stuff like that, and all going to the game, high 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.560 five in each other. So there were the cowboys showed up. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.319 Went to the Emma Smith's restaurant on Friday night, and 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:36.559 we gonna drop that a little bit for you. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:38.840 Jimmy. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.800 Was there a lot of cowboys fans up in there 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.600 him and signing jerseys. A lot of people, look, use 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.880 this opportunity, Let's be honest. This stadium open in twenty twenty. 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.840 Jerry helped build the stadium just the first time the 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.120 Cowboys got there. Everybody wanted to go to Vegas. Everybody 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.599 want to see the Cowboys in the stable. What is 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.440 the new stadium. That's part of it too, you know, 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.079 Legends is part of the diet. The marketing is they 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.240 do the food service, you know, so Jerry's making money 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.040 in Vegas as well. On on these greaters again. Yes, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:10.040 a lot of Cowboys fans were there. Uh again, great standing, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.160 great looking stadium. And I checked myself. I try to 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.520 check myself, you do. Yeah, I'm trying to say I'm 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.040 not being by it. Still not burn At and. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.480 T It's not no, you know already I. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.160 Put my rockets out there. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.120 A lot of these new stadiums, you know, it does 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:27.880 have an in game experience. I like that. I do 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.319 like the scoreboards. I kind of like the little. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.800 End zone, the open press box. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.160 Press boxes nice. But as far as the stadium itself, 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.200 you know they still trailing at. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.760 And t AT and t us Bank and then Allegiant. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:42.559 But it's a nice stadium. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.320 It is. It's nice. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.120 But yeah, the fans showed up and they showed out. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:46.960 And if you're a frustrated fan, you have the right 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.640 to be. If you're an optimistic fan, you have a 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.640 right to be. Both things are true. At the same time. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.040 It's it's not about swinging all the way left to 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.880 swinging all to be right, all the way right. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.560 The truth is somewhere in the middle if you do 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:57.040 the homework. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.240 Now about this game, tree Lance, I want to get 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:01.920 into Trey Lance. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.880 This is kind of a longer what's that before the defense? 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:11.080 QB Yeah, I know it's q start again as he 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.360 started again. We also started a game with DEVA. Then 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.360 won't make sure we understand the wee facts we got 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:16.760 to talk about. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.640 But I would like to talk longer about the defense. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:20.440 So let's go ahead and. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.520 Let's get tree Lances. 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.040 Not out of the way, but let's let's talk about 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.720 Tree Lance, because I know that's all a lot of 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.559 the questions from the fans are coming about this quarterback position. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.440 So improve an improvement over last week, for sure, quite 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.960 an improvement over the Rams game. You saw him actually 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.720 taking risks, truscans, receivers, you know, going through his reads. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.880 What did you see from tree Lance? 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.960 Well, first and foremost, I saw some touch on his passes, 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.400 and there were some passes that still lacked the touch. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.600 And I spoke about this coming out of the Rams 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.560 game and spoke about it to the totality of what's 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.440 going on in camp practices, and that on a lot 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.520 of his deep balls, they tend to sail, not drop 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.360 it into the bucket, like you're saying with Cooper. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.720 Rush, like you see with Dak Prescott. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.280 I saw more of that being able to be accomplished 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.400 by Trey Lance. Talk about the touchdown to Ryan Flinoy 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:16.000 in the end zone. Flinoy absolutely destroys, destroys the defender, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.040 and then all he had to do Trey was lobb 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.040 it in there, and that's what he did. He didn't bullet, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.880 try to throw the bullet, he didn't put too much 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.360 on it, and it sailed into the stands. He did 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.000 exactly what he needed to do, and he also settled in. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.240 My only quandary for Trey Lance is can we settle 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.640 in quicker more quickly as a backup in the NFL? 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.640 If you're starting quarterback were to go down, you're not 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.080 gonna have ideally a full quarter a full half to 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:40.600 settle in. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:41.280 You gotta go in. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.320 Which is why Cooper Rush has been so effective as 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.120 being a backup quarterback, because he can go in ice 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.120 cold and make some plays for you, or at least 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:50.600 not give the game away. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:51.720 For Trey Lance. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.760 He came out cold in the first quarter, settled in 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.200 nicely second quarter, La chef Kiss came out third quarter cold, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.600 slow start, got into the fourth chef Kiss. So if 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.920 he can get quicker starts and continue to improve on 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.080 his touch and trusting his arm to make those throws 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.400 and trusting the receivers and they need to help him 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.000 out and they have been more and more. But if 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.360 those things continue to happen, then his game against the 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:19.360 Chargers should be even better than the game against the Raiders, 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.920 which was markedly better than the game against the Rams. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.880 And then what and then he'll be emergency quarterback. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.120 Okay, thank you, I. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.240 Like that, And then he'll. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:35.000 Be emergency quarterback this season then having going out, having 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.320 gone out on a high note, which then sets up 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.320 the conversation for twenty twenty five as. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.800 Far as his value as far as backup. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.080 Oh no, we all just make it still with the 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.320 Russian is still QB two as we have this conversation, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:48.000 just make it to it. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:49.920 So now we got that out the way, because people 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.400 will go crazy, and people go people crazy, because that's 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.400 why we gotta talk about the quarterback first. Because the quarterback, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.800 even though the defense was called the show. But people 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.440 go crazy and we got to talk about the quarterback. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.760 That's the and and all of that stuff. But progress, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.560 he took a step. He talked about the growth. You 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.720 could sell the gross used to judchdown paths was a 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.680 perfect example of you know, him throwing on time in rhythm, 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.480 unlike against around when he threw the ball late and 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.000 threw it out a bound and he gave guy a 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.680 chance to make a play. H Certler that there's some 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.080 things and early in the game he was high, he 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.240 was behind receivers. You know, the accuracy remains a problem. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.080 One thing Mike McCarthy talked about last week after the game, 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.400 and it's something we've talked about and I've talked about. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.360 He just needs reps. He needs reps. He needs snaps. 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.480 Who you don't I really admit the fact that this 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.000 guy like that can't go to the UFL and play 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.520 and play quarterback and get some snaps under him and 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.800 so he can see the game. But you saw the growth, 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.800 and you saw the progress from week one to week two. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.440 When you're gonna continue to see more progress next week, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.160 but again you're going to get back ups. He wanted 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.040 to get starters against Raiders most of the game for 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.000 the first half, stl the second half of his backups. 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.720 You know, they don't have full game plans, they don't 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.360 have full scheming. You know, there's not enough there to 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.280 say he's competing for Cooper Russ for the backup job. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:04.800 Oh no. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.320 But but from a guy you see the potential, You 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.520 see the growth. He saw that lett of system. You know, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.960 it was a good showing for him, very good showing. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.439 I also saw some composure as well, not nearly as 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.800 much panic as we saw in some plays against the Rams. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.200 One play in particular comes to mind. It's a free 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.480 blitz off of the left side third down. Believe it 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.679 was third and ten. Blitzer is right in his face, 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:28.760 he goes off the back foot, he lobs it. It's 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.520 Luke's Schoolmaker. Schoolmaker makes the play and gets the first 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.600 down move to chains. Those kind of plays shows me, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:38.119
