What is it twenty nine hours that day, right, 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.640 twenty nine four more hours or five more hours until 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.160 that partick of the time? Right? A week in five hours? 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.759 There you go, a week week in five hours. Yeah, 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.920 because it is two o'clock Central time right now, and 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:14.800 so whatever something like that, the pregame hype will be well, 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.360 the pregame hype is already starting on this edition of 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.080 Mix Shots. As the Cowboys are back on the practice 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.600 this spring, the head coach and the head coach said, 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.120 it's extremely exciting meeting today. This is the kickoff to 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.640 the regular season meeting. Today's practice kicks off the regular season. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.000 There you go, and do we ever have a lot 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.400 to get to on this edition of Mix Shots. This 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.559 has been a couple of days since we've been here, 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.200 and at the close of the show on Tuesday, the 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:49.360 cuts came down, and since then the roster maneuvering has 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.560 taken place, and like several other teams in the league, 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.560 the Cowboys have decided to go without any kickers. Right, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:05.800 we're changing the game. So there's a little humor to 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:10.600 that line by Bill. I saw I saw something pop 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.880 up my phone on Google and it was a story 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:19.520 about Dan Campbell the Detroit Lions that he decided to, uh, 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.560 basically do what the Cowboys did with their punter and 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.680 their deep snapper. They waived them. They didn't have to 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.160 go through waivers, but they needed to move guys from 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.280 the fifty three onto ir that's a short term return, 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.320 So they cut the kickers because they're not going to 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.200 be signed by anybody else veteran guys. They don't have 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.760 to go through waivers exactly. It's just the way the 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.840 Cowboys did with Brian Anger and Jake McQuaid. Okay, so 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.760 somebody on that website that which is at what's the 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.840 website fan Sided. Fan Sided wrote a story that Dan 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.000 Campbell doesn't like kickers and he's going to be going 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.720 for two after touchdowns and going forward on fourth down 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.239 because he doesn't have any kickers on the roster. Fan 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:12.399 Sighted overhyped. It's every movement now, dude, you the same 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.000 thing I did. I thought it was a tongue in 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.120 cheek story. I still haven't figured out is this a satire. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.840 I don't know. I have no idea. I'm HEARDing the story. Um, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.800 believe me, Randy Bullock and Zane Gonzalez have to be shocked. 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.600 They were both cut. Nothing makes your football team tougher 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.080 than going for two every time because kicking is weak, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.360 nest And that sounds like something Dan Campbell would say, right, 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.880 So it gives it some legitimates, right because you know Campbell, right, 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.160 We're not We're going for it, gonna be fighting, knees, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.040 were gonna be Yeah, we're gonna be this kind of team. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.480 I'm not falling for this making this is a satire. Well, okay, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.000 all right, I think that story is a satire. I 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.000 think the guy that wrote it, I think he believes 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.840 his hype. And I think that guy that wrote, he 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.880 believes his hype. Well maybe it maybe it is comedy. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.480 I don't know, but I refuse to believe it's nothing 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.800 but comedy. Well there was no comedy around here today, 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.640 by golly hey. But let me let me get back, 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.840 let me get to something. Guys. I'm on my family 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.159 what's app and they were talking about the ESPN game 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:29.400 high school game between IMG My former teammate Pepper Johnson 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.320 happens to be the head coach and he played against 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:37.000 the team Sycamore. What is happening? Man? Can somebody tell 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.320 me what happened? I've listened to the story, I've read 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.839 the story, and I still don't get it. That was 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.720 a satire football yes, it was. Come on, man, how 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.680 did they sneak this? Bye? I don't understand. I don't know. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:55.400 It was a bogus high school football team made up 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.600 of whoever they could play or get on the JUCO dropouts. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.400 I heard some of the guys were like twenty thirty 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.600 years old? Is that true? I don't know how old 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.720 they were. But they got their butt kicked like and 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.520 they still lost. And they had a game scheduled for 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.400 this weekend with Duncanville. So how do you pull that off? 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.440 I think you know, it's a it's a new school, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.279 it's a basically online classes for high school price and 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.279 it's not sanctioned by the state of Ohio. Okay, I'm 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.560 thinking they probably It probably started with good intentions and 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.440 then they got a deal to play on ESPN and 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.080 then didn't have enough players or whatever, and so they 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:43.080 had an added player. I have no idea, Bishops Bishops Sycamore, right, yeah, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.800 and and what was sounds holy, doesn't it? So yeah, 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.560 right there, you're going to get in the door, right. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.880 Whatever happens after that, you know, it's up to you. 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.440 So they heard they signed cam Newton too, so that 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.560 was another But apparently, and I didn't watch the game, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.080 but apparently as the game went on, the announcers started 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.760 realizing that the teleent level, the talent level wasn't what 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.719 was advertised, and then they started goggling and searching and 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.880 they couldn't find these players on how does this dot 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.839 happen before the game is even scheduled? HOWESPA get dupe? 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.000 This is what I'm talking that, that's the amazing, amazing, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:27.000 But it was twice because they had Duncan scheduled and 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.400 they caught onto it. It's like televised though, Yeah, I 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.960 believe so. Well, wasn't this one televised? That one was? 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.080 So that's why I just can't believe that in your 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:42.280 normal preparation for the game, that you wouldn't discover this. Uh, 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:48.039 the head coach has an active warrant for him. Come on, man, 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.279 nastual warf is the rest? Isn't this world? This is 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.120 an amazing world. Isn't it? The sports world too? It's 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.920 so colorful nowadays. I love it. All Right, Okay, that's 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.400 Mickey's minute. Okay, Wow, that was that was off. That 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:09.279 was off the wall. Yeah, crazy though definitely worth it. Okay, 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.840 So so where do we start. Well, let's start with 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:19.680 the roster adjustments that did take place today. Uh So 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.960 the guys, three of the guys the Cowboys had on 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:29.960 the COVID nineteen list, Um Cede Lamb, Demante Kz, Carlos 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:35.080 Watkins have come off COVID and they practiced so to 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:41.200 make room uh for those guys, they had to move 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.800 and they ended up moving a half dozen guy guys 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:50.840 from uh the fifty three man roster to the COVID list, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.680 I mean to the ir off and they went to IR. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.840 So let me make sure I get it right here. Uh. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:06.960 So the guys they moved were Neville Gallimore, Josh Ball, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:14.160 Molik Turner, uh, Sean McEwan, Kelvin Joseph and Francis Bernard. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:20.040 All those guys. Six guys they moved to IR designated 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:26.200 to returns. So it's called DTR DTR designated to and 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.080 so they have to miss three weeks and three and 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.760 they were all dealing with injuries, so at least three 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.560 and you keep them there long. The most six is 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.880 that no, these these they can be on as long 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.360 as they need to be on the need It's a 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.840 it's they change the rules with COVID because you can 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.080 have an unlimited number of people that go on the 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.400 U the injured reserve during the season. During the season, 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.880 it's just different than those who are placed on injured 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:57.840 reserve prior to right. For instance, Hunter and I wander 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.440 the So so they these guys, and some of them 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.120 are getting close. I saw Josh Ball working on the ball, 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.400 working on the cord, so he's getting a little closer. Uh. 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:14.200 Malite Turner was running uh and uh one other guy, 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.840 oh Gallimore was starting to get on the field and 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.000 do some good rehap type stuff. So these guys are 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.200 out at least the Tampa Bay game, the Charger game, 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.120 and the Eagle game, right, and then if they're healthy enough, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.800 you can start making moves. So anyway, those those they 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.680 made those moves. They had the three guys come off 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:42.760 and then they they claimed on waivers. Will Greer the 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:48.120 quarterback was that Carolina. Uh, they claimed Corey Clement the 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:55.000 running back got cut by the Giants, and you know, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.480 I thought they'd get Devant Freeman. Yeah, but you know what, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.679 I don't think your teams special teams was the deciding 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.560 factor because this guy was all special teams. He would 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:11.440 play UH. And so was there one other move they made? 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:17.040 They put two more guys on the practice squad. Um, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:22.640 I saw this guy work out. Brelan speaks defensive van 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.920 and Ian Bunting a tight end. They put them on 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.480 the practice squad. So I think they have one more 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.600 spot on the practice squad, or they do because aler 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.120 Cone is not count against the practice squad number. There. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.880 I know what the other thing was, and they brought 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:43.480 Uh and they resigned Uh resigned McQuaid. So they've got 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:49.040 one more move Micky's not convinced about it. You gotta 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.720 be perfect, right, uh. And then and then they think 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.760 Connor Williams will be off COVID by time they practice 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.920 on Sunday, so that'll uh, I have to make room 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.280 for him. So anyway, so that that's the that one. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.679 And then they got to bring back Brian Anger put 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.560 the punter who didn't need to practice today clearly, And 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.640 I'm wondering. They did a long interview with a Zoom 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.520 Kamara out there, and I was just wondering, do you 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.720 think he was on the fifty three just as a 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.880 place setter, you know, just to have a warm body there. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.360 And then well, well, you know what, he's bigger than 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.240 I thought when I saw him play. He plays short. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.719 I didn't realize he was like six five maybe is 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.760 he really? He does not look six five? No, let 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.160 me see what do they got him listed at six 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.840 four six? Now sixty three? They well, this one says 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.880 sixty three, you may have six four and he's two fifty. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.839 He doesn't that yeah. Also, and he said they wanted 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.079 him another fifteen pounds. So but it's a nice story. 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.880 It's a great hard knocks deal. You know. He talked about. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.880 But maybe it's more than that. But maybe it is. 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.559 Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's I just thought, you know, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:08.360 with the amount of defensive ends they have on this roster, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.360 they only had three defensive tackles and one of them 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.360 was on Covid. Well, now Carlos Watkins is back at 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:21.320 some point, they'll get Neville Gallimore back. And then they 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:28.480 had Bohannah and they put Justin Hamilton on the practice squad, 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.480 so they were kind of short on defense. It could 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.599 be just the emphasis that Quinn might be putting on 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:38.480 the edge rushers. Well, they can move some of them inside. Okay, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.360 Brett Urban could play in what's in what's Basham status? 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.640 I did not see him out there, but he's on 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.920 the fifty three. Yeah, he was not placed on IR 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.240 now speculation that he might be one of the most 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.880 placed on so he may be the place center in 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.080 case Basham isn't ready to go. And they had Gholston 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.520 out there, he took him off the top list. Um so, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:08.040 but Camaro would would fit more the Basham. Yes, yes, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.559 so maybe till Basham gets back or whatever or is 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.200 ready to go, right and he is at the combine. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.480 He was measured sixty three and one quarter inch tall 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:24.680 and two hundred and forty two pounds. Camaro was he's growing. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.520 He ran a four to five nine eight well at 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.880 training camp. Well, okay in comparison, but he's a special 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.160 team Jamaka's well, what was his numbers coming out? He 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.240 was around I want to say two fifty he was 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.920 he was too six four, two fifty one and Randy 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.400 Gregory was like two thirty five, right, So we can't 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.840 compare him. That's a special case. Yeah, No, Vandy can work. Yeah, yeah. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.720 And how's he doing? By the way, I can't wait 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.439 till this thing starts. I just think he's going to 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.960 explode this year. People are going to be surprised about 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.800 his speed. And he's like Gumby. You know, he could 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.520 come around that corner and he couldn't towards his body 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.600 and he doesn't fall, you know. You know how Taco 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.280 Charlton tried to do that and he would always lose 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:14.040 his feet and slide out. Gregory's got something on the 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.400 side of his feet to keep him up right. I 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.440 just think he's if he if he has a good year, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.960 I will not be surprised, which, by the way, Kansas 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.360 City cut Taco too for a while back a week 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.240 or so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't even land with anyone. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.360 I have not seen him being about anyone. Yeah, what 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.600 does that say about Taco Charld You know who else 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:37.040 got cut after they brought him back, Everson Griffin. That 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.760 was my design with Minnesota. That was one of those 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.520 where you cut, you cut him, nobody's gonna pick him 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.320 up and they maybe someone guarantee his first maybe, No, 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.800 he's already been signed. Oh he got back, he'll signed back. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.560 So it was just a one day to get someone 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.120 to I R because no one I thought he's already 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.160 flamed out. No, No, Zimmer is going to give him 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.880 every opportunity and he's there at home. Well that's that's 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.960 the thing. The main problem. Well, I don't know, we 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.160 weren't out there to know exactly what was going on 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.560 with him, but the system clearly we did not fit 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:17.800 Griffin here. No one took the words right out. You 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.440 can't just any of those guys from last year. Okay, 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.240 what they're gonna do this year, let's not do right. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.680 And so he's back home with Minnesota and the same system, 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.800 and so we'll see how he does this year. Okay, 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.680 so I think you know, my first line to my 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.640 column yesterday was nothing the Cowboys did made me go, oh, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.680 my right, most surprises, right, and not even the fact 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.280 that they picked up Will Greer. You know, I think 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.320 it's a it's a it's an inexpense. It didn't cost 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.600 him anything to get him. Right, he's one hundred and 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:54.600 forty thousand dollars less than keeping guilt Gary Gilbert. But 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.240 I think they know what Gilbert is, you know, I 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.240 think this is kind of a research project. Well know, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.880 they knowing about Greer too, because he was Doug nus 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.480 Meyer's quarterback at his first year at Florida in twenty fifteen, 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.520 and that's when nuss Meyer became the offensive coordinator there. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.240 And if you go back and look at what Will 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.280 Grier did there, he did very well. The first month 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.040 of the season there six games, in fact, in a 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.760 game against Old Miss, throw for four touchdown passes, no picks, 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.200 and I mean he had good numbers overall in those 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.880 six games, had only three picks, nine touchdown passes. And 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.760 then he was suspended four peeds and so he tested 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.600 positive and it was it was something that was in 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.520 and over the counter that that he can't just put 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.280 all of those in one category. Try the mistakes that 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.040 have made and sometimes exceptions that will get you in trouble. Yeah, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.600 and you're probably eighteen nineteen years old and you're trying. 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.200 He was a rehirt freshman. He was a tight shirt freshman, 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.520 means he's a sense of urgency. He was trying to 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.600 get to he needs to get right away physic and 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.119 he played well for right So he was there. And 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.159 so that was early October, and the NCAA rules at 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.840 that time it was it was a year long suspension, 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.119 and so he was suspended the last six games of 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.399 that season and then the first six games of the 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.840 next year. In the meantime, I don't remember who the 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.960 quarterback was that took over at Florida. He decided, because 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.359 there was already he was going to be suspended the 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.320 first six games of the next year, so he was 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.399 having no chance of winning the starting job there, he 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.320 decided to transfer to West Virginia and sat out his 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.879 year for transfer, had to sit out a year for transferring. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.520 So now we're to twenty seventeen, and then there was 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.040 an issue about Okay, because he served the last half 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.679 of that suspension, Did that count of the whole year? 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.440 Did that count because he couldn't play anyway? It was 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.119 his transfer year, and anyway, he payed, played well for 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.600 West for two years at West Virginia, and so well 0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:01.159 that he was a third round draft pick in college. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.119 He was amazing, and I heard the Cowboys had a 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.160 very good evaluation on him. So I said, third round 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.840 was that? And they go, yeah, third round, and so okay, 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.320 So think about it, over the course of the last 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.560 however many years you want to put it, how many 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.359 quarterbacks have been in this building who have been higher 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.359 than a fourth round draft pick. I got one in 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.320 Andy Dalton. He was a second round pick last year, right, 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.720 so go back in his And then Quincy Carter was 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.159 a second round draft pick twenty years ago. And so 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.360 now you got Vinnie and Drew Bledsoe that came in here. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.359 But there aren't very many quarterbacks who have been in 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.480 this building who were greater than a fourth round draft pick, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.440 including the starting quarterback right right now. And that's something 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.280 Romo and Romo being an undrafted free agent as a rookie. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.240 So the previous high before and I don't know the 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.840 number in the fourth but have been um the guy 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.520 from A and M. They draft Stephen mcgeean. He was 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.080 early fourth round. He was higher than Prescott. Yeah, who's 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.360 won thirty five? So this guy was a third round 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:16.560 now here. And so you know, the familiarity that helped 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.960 Greer get here is what cost him in Carolina because 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.359 he got drafted in twenty nineteen. In twenty twenty, they 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.399 changed staff, right, Matt Rule took over and he chose 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.400 p J. Walker, who I saw play at Globe Life 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:38.879 Park in the XFL against whoever Dallas? What were they renegade? 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:43.280 How can you forget? Yeah? And and and he was. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.520 He took over the game with with with his ability 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:51.600 to run and throw. And so guess what he played 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.680 for Matt Rule in college? PJ. Walker Temple was the 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.240 Temple quarterback and was really good there. So you know 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:04.080 that the Cowboys scouting department probably fired had their eye 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:09.840 on that Carolina quarterbacking situation throughout training because everything I 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.520 read it was a dead heat for the backup job 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.840 behind Sam Darnold. And of course he went with the 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.520 guy he was familiar with, p J. Walker, and they 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:25.879 cut Will Greer. Now guer uh, black haired kid right. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.879 I remember he was very good. He was just very 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.359 good West Virginia. He was West Virginia. He was like 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.720 newcomer of the years. He had a lot of hard 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.479 a lot of comebacks, and all of that he did 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.840 very well. Now, he couldn't be good first team quarterback though, 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.000 because he was in the same conference as Oklahoma. That 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.879 was sea. Yeah, And I should have known that as 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.119 soon as say, but here's here's my thing. What are 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.840 his true dimensions? Because when you started looking at quarterbacks, 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:54.880 you gotta be able to take the heat, first of all. 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.600 And I thought that was kind of Denuci's problem. He 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.680 was the quintessential college quarterback. Ain't to make it in 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.520 the pros. This is just my opinion. Uh didn't quite 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.520 have the arm, didn't quite have the technique. And we 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.680 found out a few more things about him. What is 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.800 Will Greers physical? Was one of the physical numbers on 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:16.600 its only six one No, no, no, no. He looked petite. 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.680 He looked petite on the field. He is at the 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:24.400 combine which you go buy the combine numbers. Okay, six 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.879 two and a half. Well, this is the roster that 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.600 came out here today and they got him listed at 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.479 six one. Okay, so they probably West Virginia, so they 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.080 probably borrowed that from the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, I'm guessing 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.600 that's from the west. That's from West Virginia. But the 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:45.240 combine number is a sex serious mess. And you wouldn't 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.480 know about the combine. No, no, you're talking about and 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.480 the other thing about the combine. It's a consistent measurement, 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.960 okay in uh six two and a half, two seventeen 0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.359 is what he measured at them. I tell you what 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.679 I saw watch him throw. He's got a live arm, 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.760 had a good as well. Yeah, good preseason, and I 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.439 will say this, he was says, almost as close, probably 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.600 as close as you can get to a fourth round pick. 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:18.880 He was the one hund in the dram So anyway, 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.480 they everybody's like, well, why would you do that instead 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.640 of Cam Newton? And it's like, and then why would 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:28.840 you keep Ben Denucci on the practice quiet? Well, I'm 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.920 thinking just looking around, what's happened to quarterbacks in this league, 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.440 in this COVID area. You better have as many arms 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:38.920 on your team as possible because you never know and 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:44.680 legs if one one catches it test positive and the 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.600 other one's a close contact and hasn't been vaccinated. Then 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.080 you lose two guys. I got another thing for you. 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.320 Who are the second and third games on the schedule, 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.840 the Chargers and the Eagles? Right? Herbert can move? Yeah, 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.040 and so now you got a guy in the practice 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:07.320 squad could simulate the quarterbacks. You're guy, I was gonna say, 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.480 he reminds me of Herbert. That's who Will Greer reminds 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.840 me he plays. No. I remember we were talking about 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.480 Ducci as being a scout team Okay, I go, yeah, No, 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.080 But but I was gonna say, I was wanting to 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:25.159 think of the Chargers quarterback. That's who Will gree reminded 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:28.239 me of. Maybe Will Greer is that scout team quarterback now, 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.560 and he could be. And he went to summer school 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.080 today because uh nuss Meyer took him over the side 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.800 and they had one on one and Kellen Moore took 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.720 over the quarterback. Okay, so they pulled him out. And 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:44.440 they are extremely similar in how they play. Yeah, and 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.080 here's another one I needed to bring up. So I 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:51.399 saw where Phil Simms has his doubts about how healthy 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:57.400 Presscott is right because he sees him throwing on hard 0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:01.720 knocks and hard Knocks. His not showed and I bet 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:06.280 this is by design anything that Dack's doing right, And 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:08.760 so he's saying, yeah, the things I saw on Hard Knocks, 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:13.200 he'd not throw any velocity. He wasn't letting it out. Yeah, 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:17.040 yeah he was. We saw it. He was and chucking it. 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:18.920 And so the last thing, if you think about it, 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:23.000 the last this last episode Tuesday, they showed him throw 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.119 one kind of deep pass, but they didn't show how 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.840 far it was. And then the other one that he 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:33.000 threw about forty yards to Dalton Schultz right on the money. 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.720 He threw on the run. They showed him scrambling. They 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.080 saw him throw the ball, it was in the air 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:41.800 and then it went to something else. It never showed 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:45.720 where it came down, right, so that you're here to 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:49.160 tell the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that it fell so far 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:54.000 short of the mark right, by God, don't worry about decks. 0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:59.280 He passes, by God. The guy, No, no, you know 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:03.160
