Kyle Yeoman's 9 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: Mickey's Bagnola. We've got Rob Phillips and Rob how about this, 10 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: We've got Spagnola on time today. I found him. I 11 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: found him in the cafeteria this morning. I said, we 12 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: do have a show, so let's go. And I followed 13 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: him to his room and made sure that he followed 14 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: me to the trailer and then we got out here. 15 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: I needed no help, did you? I needed no help. 16 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: You just needed a nudge. I was up. I gave 17 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: you a n reminder, No I knew. Did you get 18 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: your bike ride? Sunrise bike ride in Today was a 19 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: day of rest for these old lakes. Okay, that's that's good. 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: They need that every one. So it's regeneration day, right, 21 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: Regen and McCarthy Regen today absolutely, Oh, McCarthy and Mickey 22 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: in cahoots with the regeneration schedule, but there is no 23 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: regeneration this weekend for the Cowboys. We're kind of sandwiched 24 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: in between a couple of practices. It's the first days 25 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: of back to back practices out here in Oxnard. Practice 26 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: number two yesterday. Any general thoughts to get us kicked 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: off of what you saw yesterday, Rob Well, I thought 28 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: the second practice was I don't want it's too early 29 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: to say win for defense, win for offense, but I 30 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: thought Dak Prescott was terrific, especially in the two minute work. 31 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: I think he had one in completion and probably a 32 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. They didn't give the last throw to Noah 33 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: Brown because he was clearly out of bounds, had a 34 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: great catch to go get it, but he might have 35 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: scored the play before. But I just thought Dak showed 36 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: really good command in that in that scenario, and you 37 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: know connection with his wide receivers. You know, he hasn't 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: been in team drills since really before the injury last October, 39 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: so this is kind of new for him to get 40 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: back into you know, full practice, and I thought it 41 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: was a good day for him, And there were certain 42 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: defensive players that definitely stood out as well. Yeah, it 43 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: wasn't eleven on nine or whatever they did in OTA's 44 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: yea mini camp, or the defensive line wasn't there, and 45 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: so he had a little clutter around him. And you know, 46 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: it takes a while once when you haven't played quarterback 47 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: to get back on the field and see things. You 48 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: got to get used to all the congestion out there. 49 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: And you know, you can do all the drills you want, 50 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: but you got to be out there and see things. 51 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: And that's why you know, he knows. You know, it 52 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: may not be the first preseason game. He needs to 53 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: play in preseason, there's no doubt about it. I remember 54 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: when Tony Romo had missed the one of the seasons 55 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: that he missed, and his point was, I need to 56 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: play in preseason because I need to remind myself of 57 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: the congestion. I need to remind myself that I got 58 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: to look to see where the play clock is and 59 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: be mindful of the play clock and just get used 60 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: to being on the field with everybody and all the noise. 61 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: And he thought preseason was important for him. Now unfortunately 62 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: he did a little too much the one preseason and 63 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: got hurt, but yeah, it's necessary, So yeah, I thought 64 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: it was a better day for him, and then just 65 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: all around, probably a better day for the wide receivers. 66 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: Um Cedee Lamb with another one handed catch, Wilson pulled 67 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: one in um Um the rookie Fijokou Huh nice nice 68 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: deep ball catch. So yeah. But then the defense made 69 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: some plays too. I finally saw Calvin Joseph get a 70 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: hand on on a football or two, so that was 71 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: somewhat new because we haven't seen him practice and it's 72 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: gonna take him some time too, So yeah, I thought, 73 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: all in all, it was a it was a pretty 74 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: good day. And by the way, the uh the coaching 75 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: staff uh or the training staff probably would uh pick 76 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: a bone with you about the first back to back 77 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: practice because they consider the conditioning day like a practice 78 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: for all the running they did. So they did running practice, 79 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 1: region practice practice now today before tomorrow's official day off 80 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: because they don't have to like go to meetings or 81 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: anything out the condition and run. Yeah. One more thing 82 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: about DAK because Kellen Moore said something interesting during his 83 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: podium talk about how as a quarterback you want to 84 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: get hit coming off an injury. It's it feels good, 85 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: it feels like you're you're kind of knocked back into 86 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: the game. I don't want to see too much of 87 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: that from Dak Prescott. And that's my question to Mickey 88 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: is like, how how much do you want to see 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: him in preseason? Because yeah, I agree with you, he 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: probably it's it feels a game, get back out there. 91 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: But I don't want him tested too. I can probably 92 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: manage that by the plays I call as an offensive coordinator. 93 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: I can get a couple of quick throws, a couple 94 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: of quick throws over the middle. I don't want him 95 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: see him doing scramble drill in preseason games one. That's 96 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: where Tony got in trouble. I don't want to see 97 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: him running with the ball. You know, you just throw 98 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: it away or throw it in the ground and discuss, 99 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: uh that play has gone away. In training camp, Troy 100 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: Aikman was great at it. When he would get pissed 101 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: off at guy's not doing what they were supposed to do, 102 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: or they didn't run a right route, or the blocking 103 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: wasn't right, he'd throw the ball on the ground and 104 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: then you'd hear him cussing, like come on, you know, 105 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: but he would when you saw him throw the ball 106 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: in the ground, you knew he wasn't happy. Sounds like you, yeah, 107 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: you're not happy with us. That's right, I'll throw the 108 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: mic in the ground whenever we come on, let's go 109 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: take our break, And Mickey's just throwing his head set 110 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: across the table and beamers over in the corner, like 111 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: covering his ears for safety. But continuing on with a 112 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: little bit of this Dak Prescott talk and the importance 113 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: of getting those reps in the preseason, because sure, I 114 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: don't know if there's been a guy in the past 115 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: that's been so open about flipping a switch between practice 116 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: in the game, about forcing things and trying some things 117 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: out in practice and kind of pushing the limits to 118 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: know whenever game time comes around, then that that's what 119 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: you can and cannot do and it allows you to 120 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: be successful. However, he hasn't played football and almost a 121 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: full year, so maybe he needs to go and look 122 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: at the timing and look at the decision making that 123 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: you have to have against an actual NFL defense in 124 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: real game time action like a preseason instead of maybe 125 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: sitting out and just having one drive here in one 126 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: drive there, and then I don't know, maybe he does 127 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: need more snaps along the way. I would take it 128 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: one step further and say there are half a dozen 129 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: players on the starting offense that didn't play either in 130 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: a year or Zack Martin missed six games and Zeke 131 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: was playing hurt a lot of last season, especially down 132 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: the stretch. And we're talking about Tyrn Smith, Lyle Collins, 133 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin. So I mean they as a group, I 134 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: think it would be beneficial to get out there have 135 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: a nice efficient driver too in preseason. I think that's 136 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: that's good Hall of Fame game. I mean, typically that's 137 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: a that's reserved for the young guys, especially back in 138 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: the day when it was five preseason games. But yeah, 139 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: I think at some point it'll be good for the 140 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: entire group to just get out there against an opponent 141 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: for a little bit. No, I think you're right, and 142 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: probably not the Hall of Fame game, Yeah, probably not. 143 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Probably that's gonna get punted right, But after that, No, 144 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: they need to be out there. I mean there's you 145 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: can't You're right, you can't just turn it on especially 146 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, right, you got to play quarterback. Um. 147 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: I remember, and I think I've told you this story 148 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: on one summer US probably after they like around ninety 149 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: four and Emmett Smith had won a couple rushing titles 150 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: and they basically weren't going to play him in preseason. 151 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: And so I go up to him. I said, well, 152 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: don't you have to like get out there and get 153 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: used to getting hit again? And he looked at me, 154 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: he goes, are you crazy. I know what it feels 155 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: like to get hit. I don't need to be reminded, right, 156 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: And I said, okay, I retract the question, your honor. 157 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: Uh and uh. It was pretty funny. And he had 158 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: a point. I think from a running back standpoint, whatever 159 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: you're doing in practice, you're you're getting hit a little 160 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: bit because back then they actually hitting practice, yeah, and 161 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: took people to the ground at times a little bit 162 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: different than the quarterback position now, where they're protected in practice, 163 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: you don't actually have that physicality back and forth, and 164 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: maybe it does take a little bit of an adjustment 165 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: period to finally get back and get used to that. 166 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: Now switching over to the defensive side of the football, 167 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: of course, practice one was a positive uptick for the defense, 168 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: and I think the offense kind of got back after 169 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: him yesterday. Even Zeke talked about it in his press 170 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: conference after the first day on the gridiron. He said, Hey, 171 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: it was nice seeing the defense get after us a 172 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: little bit. It was nice to have a little pushback, 173 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: and then turning around yesterday, I think the offense may 174 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: have had the upper hand rop Yeah, I do. I think. 175 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: You know, we touched on the connection between Dak and 176 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: his receivers. I thought there were some nice throws the 177 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: last couple days by Garrett Gilbert, by Benda Nucci. We 178 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: didn't see Cooper rush yesterday. Apparently he's got a tight back, 179 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: so we'll see how that goes day to day here 180 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: going forward. They do practice again today, But yeah, I 181 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: thought it was just more a fish in the drills 182 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: from the offense. But they're defensively. There were guys Mick 183 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: that continued to stand out. I mean, Trayvon Dix continues 184 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: to make plays on the ball. Um, Micah Parsons continues 185 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: to be everywhere, uh, working different drills. Um. You'll see 186 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: him rushing off the edge, You'll see him covering fifty 187 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: yards down field in a seven on seven drill to 188 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: go break up a pass um and Randy Gregory is 189 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: looking and I again say it, let's say it, Rod, 190 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: Let's just let's just put it out there, say well, 191 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: we have everything has to be a disclaimer. They're not 192 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: in pad. We've been here. We've been here two days. 193 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, dinner last night, we're talking about, like, you know, 194 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: what's what where's the cap room to resign him to 195 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: a big deal after the season, because he's gonna have 196 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: a big ear after get it done. Yeah yeah, or 197 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: now with that too, Brad Sham was giving him a 198 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: gold jacket yesterday while we were watching practice. That's who 199 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: I had dinner with last night, and that's what we 200 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: were talking about. Maybe that rubbed up a little bit, 201 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: but I mean, say with your chest, rob, I mean, 202 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: Brandy Gregory's gonna have a big ear, right. I mean 203 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: what we've seen absolutely and what really what we saw 204 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: in ten games last year with twenty snaps a game, 205 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: you extrapolate that over sixteen games he had three and 206 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: a half sacks. He can be a double digit sack 207 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: guy for this group, and I think he needs to 208 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: be because it's not a super deep position that they have. 209 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: That's another mistake they made last year after he was 210 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: eligible to play, giving him only twenty snaps a game. 211 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: Are you serious? He was the best thing they had 212 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: out there rushing the quarterback, and they were kind of 213 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: just gingerly using him. Guys might have missed this because 214 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: I wrote the column about him just before we kind 215 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: of all went on vacation, but I basically pointed out 216 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: he was my mister relevant. He needed to become relevant 217 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: this year and take over and take that step to 218 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: the point where they thought what they were getting when 219 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: they drafted him in the second round in twenty fifteen. 220 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: He needs he needs to be a stud out there. 221 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: They need that, and from everything we're seeing, it's only 222 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: two practices. Pads aren't on, but boy, he is active, 223 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about just rushing the quarterback. He 224 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: stopped two runs that were major for a right defensive 225 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: end to set the edge. The first time they tried 226 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: to get Zeke outside and he turned them back inside 227 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: because he beat him to the outside spot. And then 228 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: the second time they tried to run an end a 229 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: round to suck in the defensive lineman going one way, 230 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: and they I believe it was CD was coming the 231 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: other way, and he would have dropped him for maybe 232 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: a five or ten yard loss on that end a 233 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: round because he jumped on the outside and he was 234 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: fast enough and quick enough. I'll tell you what. It's 235 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: a good start to training camp for him. And if 236 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: you consider this is his first training camp since twenty 237 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: eighteen and his first offseason since his rookie year, and 238 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: I think it's starting to show that boy he's six four. 239 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what they've got him listed weight, maybe 240 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: about two two fifty two sixty, and his body is 241 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: completely different than when they got him at two fifty eight. 242 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: And you remember when he got here he was two 243 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: forty and by the end of training camp he was 244 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: two thirty because he couldn't keep the weight on. And 245 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: he just looks he looks like he should be in 246 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: number ninety four. By the way. Yeah, and you mentioned 247 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: it's a bold statement, Mickey Spagnola. That's high prey here. 248 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned his run defense, which people get 249 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: that gets lost with the Marcus Lawrence too, because that's 250 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: a part of the position that nobody talks about. But 251 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: I mean I do focus on his pass rush ability 252 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: for us why I asked Dan Quinn about it the 253 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: other day because if you watch him in these and 254 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: we've seen him play obviously, but you watch him in 255 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: these pass rustrials, it is rare bend around the edge, 256 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: the way he can bend and get inside to the quarterback. 257 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: I've tweeted this last night. I haven't seen the Cowboys 258 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: rusher do that since I've been here. The marcut swears 259 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, better player, but it bendy. 260 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: He has rare bend. He really does. And like Mickey said, 261 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: it just comes down to him being available, and based 262 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: on what they did or didn't do in free agency 263 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: in the draft, they're counting on him to play most 264 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: of the snaps and all the games at right defensive 265 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: end because it's not it's not a super deposition. They 266 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: addressed tackle. We talked about that the other show, but 267 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: not as much on the on the edge. And Michael 268 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: Parsons can help supplement that a little bit. We could 269 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: just name him the rubber band Man. I like that 270 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: because he's big. I like that a lot. Before we 271 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: take this to break, I want to kind of keep 272 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: this going and look on the positive side of things. 273 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: What can the ceiling be for both Randy Gregory and 274 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence if they're both on the field at the 275 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: same time, because that's that's a problem for offenses, that's 276 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: going to be an issue. What is the ceiling if 277 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: you had to put those guys out there and they're 278 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: both healthy and starting. I know de Marcus Lawrence is 279 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: on the publist at the moment. He should be ready 280 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: to go by week one is what we've been told. 281 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: So if they're both out on the field, what is 282 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: the top of what they could do? Make? Oh this team? 283 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: If they do what we think they should do, then 284 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: their their sack totals as a team is going to 285 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: rise greatly. I think it could double from last year. 286 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: They ended up with thirty I think thirty thirty five, 287 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: thirty seven something like which is not not good. It's 288 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: it's almost average. Uh. It needs to be in the fifties. 289 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: And and if they can do that together, uh, and 290 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence has his Robin on the other side, Um, 291 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, they could possibly both reach double digits. Thirty 292 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: one sacks last year for the Cowboys, I mean back 293 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: they haven't gotten sacks as a team in the fifties. 294 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: Probably since Wade Phillips was head coached, probably probably two 295 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: thousand and nine. Yeah, my guess is, do you ware 296 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: in his prime Anthony Spencer was a very good player, 297 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: And I think that was the last time they had 298 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: two guys with double digit sacks. I think that's the ceiling. 299 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, with a healthy to Marcus 300 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: Lawrence and Randy Gregory playing an entire season, hopefully, I 301 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: think that's definitely possible. We got a mailback question about 302 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: like the over under on between those two guys and 303 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. Could they get like twenty five sacks just 304 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: between the three of them. I think it's possible. I think, 305 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible, but a lot of things have 306 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: to go right, and you know, it's just it's hard 307 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: to project a little bit because Randy has played so little. 308 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: He's played thirty games in his career, but he the 309 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: talent is there, it's so obvious. You also remember that 310 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: this is going to be a seventeen game regular season. Yeah, 311 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: you could double that number to sixty plus. Yeah, well 312 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: I really wanted to. It's up the annie. Then we 313 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: could turn it up all the way. Yeah, beat five 314 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: more than we'd predicted the five sacks a game from 315 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: Mickey's bagnola. The other thing, too, is can the offense 316 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: stay healthy and build leads where your defense can tee 317 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: off a little can get after when you're playing from 318 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: behind like you did every every game last year, That's 319 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: a little difficult to do. I saw an interesting thing 320 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: after practice. I hung out back down the other end 321 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: and we had a little one on one schooling going 322 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: on um taught by Professor Tyron Smith to the young 323 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. They were practicing his get off in pass rush, 324 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: and Tyron was trying to show him that if you're 325 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: gonna use that inside spin move, you gotta make contact 326 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: with me before you start spinning, because if you start 327 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: spinning before we have contact, I'm just sitting here waiting 328 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: on you and I'll just punch you out. So he 329 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: was making sure that he makes sure you get into 330 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: the left tackle before you start spinning. You know, it's 331 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: sort of like that was it blazing Saddles when the 332 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: guy was you know, the sword, he was zipping it around. 333 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: I never saw it, and and the and the guy 334 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: he was zipping an ats looking at him where he 335 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: quiz and then he picks out a gun and shoots him. 336 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: So the point is, you got you got with this. 337 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: You don't be doing all these fancy moves when you're 338 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: three yards away from the guy you're trying to beat. 339 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: You got to get into him. So then he got 340 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: finally got him to get into him on the spin move, 341 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: and then he was showing him how he's got to 342 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: use his hands to knock my hands off. And they 343 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: went at it for a good ten ten minutes and 344 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: finally near the end he got Tyrn and Tyrn just 345 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: sit there and smile like a proud papa, right. And 346 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: it was very interesting though that he pulled him aside 347 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: and they actually worked on that. That's an awesome note 348 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: because that also just tells me that Michael Parson's book 349 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: book into his practice yesterday with getting out there early. 350 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: He was working with Dan Quinn. There's a video on 351 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: my Twitter of that working on his pass rush move right, 352 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: and then he book ends it with having Tyron Smith 353 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: talking about his pass right. See, and the key thing 354 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: for him is if if they're gonna play at the 355 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: way they did in standard defense with three linebackers out there, 356 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: they had him on the strong side and when he 357 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: was on the strong side. He was playing on the 358 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, like right in front of the tight end, 359 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: so that lets the offense know, Okay, is he going 360 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: to cover my guy one on one or is he coming? 361 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: And I thought it really looks like an interesting possibility 362 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: because he was running with those tight ends. By the way, 363 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: it's almost like, well, heck running with the tight ends 364 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: on that one scramble drill ceedee. Lamb was screwing around 365 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and all of a sudden, 366 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: heat takes off and just goes deep almost to the 367 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: end zone. And who's running with him Michael Parsons eleven. 368 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: First step it was one number one, number one right 369 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: draft choices, Yeah, step back to back down the field. 370 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: He's been lined up with Zeke two covering Zeke, which 371 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: is no easy task as well. I mean, he's just 372 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: his versatility is uncommon. It really, it really is. I 373 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: was just I was just wish and no offense to 374 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: anybody that anybody that said, now they shouldn't have taken 375 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: a linebacker that high. You'd be out here and watch 376 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: what this guy's doing. Yeah, he's pretty special and he's 377 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: taken advantage of every opportunity he can throughout practice as 378 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: a rookie. That's certainly important in his first training camp. 379 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: Another rookie taking advantage of his time on the practice field, 380 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: Nashan Wright. Can he somehow play his way into a 381 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: starting cornerback role? Well, that's one of the fan questions 382 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: we've got when we return for fans on the fifty 383 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: Here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Geico Honey, Big News.

So I'm not seeing 427 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: his clearly, Mick.

And that's exciting. Excited to get Isaiah in 431 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: a training camp. He's gonna be here at a couple 432 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: of weeks or I guess about a week from today 433 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: or tomorrow something like that. He comes in. He's gonna 434 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: be here for a week of training camp, he'll he'll 435 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: have the goggles back out for the or read no 436 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: doubt about that. We got some time now for some 437 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: fans on the fifty back starting things off with the 438 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: one that I teased going into break and we'll start 439 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: with you on this one, Mickey, and you can feel 440 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: free to downplay this if you want. But of course, 441 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: Nashan Wright, cornerback rookie out of Oregon State, has really 442 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: looked impressive. Is there a chance, any realistic scenario that 443 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: he plays into a starting role the way that he's 444 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: been performing this offseason? If he does, he's gonna have 445 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: to change sides, okay, because he's playing behind Trayvon Diggs 446 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: and he's probably not beating him out for a starting job. 447 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Looked really good too, Yes, he has so. And on 448 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: the other side, they've got Anthony Brown and Kelvin Joseph, 449 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting if how they decide to maybe 450 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: move him around. I don't think he's a slot corner 451 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: at his size. He'd have trouble there, but you know 452 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: who knows. One of the other corners can play inside. 453 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's played inside, I would think play Kelvin could play, 454 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: but I haven't seen him in the slot yet, and 455 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: then you can bring him in if Calvin was a 456 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: starter to you know, play the other side, But so 457 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: far he's been on the right side, behind behind Trayvon Diggs. 458 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: So we'll see on that. All I know is they 459 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: went through growing praying pains with the rookie corner last 460 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: year starting game one. I don't know you want to 461 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: go through that again. And there's two of them that 462 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: are clamoring for a starting job, mister Kelvin Joseph and 463 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: Nishan right at the same time. Rob, Yeah, that's where 464 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: I was going. I mean, I think from an experienced standpoint, 465 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: I like Trayvon Diggs put his name in Penn for 466 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: starting cornerback job. He's got one. I would still lean 467 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: toward Anthony Brown on the other side to give you 468 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: some more experience at least week one. That's just my projection. 469 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. But yeah, I think Kelvin 470 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: Joseph will push and I think he'll play his rookie year, 471 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: maybe be a starter at some point, and Nashan Wright, 472 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: Nashan Wright will be continuing develop, to develop and be 473 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: there potentially. But I go back to what happened last year. 474 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: Every cornerback got hurt. So both guys have to be 475 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: ready to play, and there's a chance that based on injuries, 476 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: Nashan Wright might be a starter at some point as 477 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: a rookie. Maybe that's not the plan, but it could happen. 478 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: So he's got to be ready as a top one 479 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: hundred pick. I mean, the question from Ernie was is 480 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: there a realistic scenario? I think there definitely is a 481 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: realistic scenario because, like you just said, where putting them? 482 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: I think it would be an injury sort of deal. 483 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: That's what I was kind of leading to is that 484 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: there's anything is realistic at this point, and we saw 485 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: that last year in twenty twenty. I'm not saying he 486 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: would play into a starting spot unless there's somebody in 487 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: front of him that's not on the depth chart anymore 488 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: via injury, And that's that's kind of the way I 489 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: was thinking, which is definitely realistic. But I think there's 490 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: some some dominoes that have to fall first, and the 491 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: guys do that. They asked the question, Ernie, Ernie, Ernie, 492 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: let's get the pads on first before we get starters. 493 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: Has he looked impressive though, yes, yes, because every practice 494 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: he gets a hand on the ball as he does change. 495 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: I don't rection, I don't know who's throwing it. I 496 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: don't know who he's covering all the time, but he 497 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: gets his hand on the ball. Two of his PBUs 498 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: in practice, number one came against number four. Yeah, but 499 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: number four is just throwing the ball. That's true. But 500 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: you still gotta get a handle the ball. That's qualified 501 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of credit. I just want to slow 502 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: the steamroller down. That's okay, we can we can, we 503 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: can do that. How does Jarwin look so far after 504 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: returning from his ACL injury. That question is from Jake 505 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: Mickey's back Nolah. I wrote a note down here. Jar 506 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: run running real well and cutting So to me, he 507 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's he's got any lasting effects from 508 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: the torn ACL. He's running well, he's cutting well. Now 509 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: he just needs to get in the flow of the offense. 510 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: Got after he missed what all but twenty snaps last year. 511 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: It was twenty snaps I think in the season opener 512 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt. So yeah, he looks fine 513 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: to me. I think they've got something going with a 514 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: two tight end offense too. Unfortunately, that means one of 515 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: the wide receivers has to come off the field. Yeah, 516 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: that's the thing, Like how much are they going to 517 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: get away from eleven personnel because that was like two 518 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: thirds of the time that's what they did. Reason for 519 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: good reason, because you have three studs on the outside. Yeah. 520 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: But to Mickey's point, I think Blake and and Dalton 521 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: Schultz have skill set that compliment each other as well, 522 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: So I think that's a package you can get to. 523 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm with him. I think he's looked good. I haven't 524 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: seen any effects from from the knee. I think there 525 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: was one route on air between Dak and Blake that 526 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: they missed each other on yesterday, and that's just I 527 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: think it's probably just the timing thing, just getting him 528 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: back in the flow and getting his timing back, and 529 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: then they'll come. One of the notes that I wrote 530 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: down and Mickey and I were standing next to each 531 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: other for a good amount of practice yesterday and I said, 532 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: Jarwin looks one hundred percent healthy, and it looks a 533 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: little bigger too, And maybe that's just because I'm closer 534 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: than I have been because whenever I started doing on 535 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: air work, we were up in the booth and doing 536 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: whatever different things. Well, if you think about it, when 537 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: you're rehabbing like that strength a leg injury, then you 538 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: know that nothing stops you from upper body weightlifting and 539 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: putting on you know, good weight with spending time in 540 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: the weight room. So yeah, I think he probably does 541 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: look a little bit bigger. Yeah, no, I agree. This 542 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: final question comes from Chewy great name by the way, 543 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: on Twitter, who was likely to be the punt turner 544 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: in at the start of the season. And the reason 545 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: why he asked this question is he says, please don't 546 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: let it be eighty eight because he's too valuable. What's 547 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: his name, Chewy Chewy, Sorry, Chew, Chewy, Chew up the 548 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: wrong number. Eighty eight is gonna return punts because he 549 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: is valuable. Punt returns not a blowoff play, right, It's significant. 550 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: And if I got a guy that can do what 551 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: he can do, he's out there returning punts. I mean, 552 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: just I'm I agree with you. And he did have 553 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 1: some explosive plays and he nearly had some more last season, 554 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: which they haven't had in past years. They've had reliable guys. 555 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley was reliable, but he wasn't going to get you, 556 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, a twenty plus yard return Ceedee Lamb can 557 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: do that. I'm not saying Amari Cooper is going to 558 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: miss a bunch of time here. But if they are, 559 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: just hypothetically, if they were to have some depth issues 560 00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: at wide receiver, would you change your thinking during the season. No, Now, 561 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: you said reliable. If I need reliable, I put Cedric 562 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: Wilson out there, just go catch it, right. If I'm 563 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: not gonna return the punt, I'm fine with that. Yeah. 564 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: But did you see the guy's catching punts yesterday? Yes? 565 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: And I was off the jugs machine. But everybody, almost 566 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: everybody we're on camera, right, yes, we okay, so almost 567 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: everybody there. Yes, everybody's sitting there ready to catch the ball. 568 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: That's this thing right there. They're they're they're just adjusting 569 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: every step of the way. Right. He stands there like this, 570 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he puts his hands 571 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: out and catches it like he knows where the ball's 572 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna land. He doesn't have to adjust his feet, he 573 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have to adjust his hands, and and and it's 574 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: not easy. You saw what Zeke did right when he 575 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: went out there. I said, oh, this is gonna be good, 576 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Zeke's trying to catch it 577 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: like this in his five yards over his head. The 578 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: first time he catches the ball, every it's like it's 579 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: it's like a can of corn. You know. They used 580 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: to call in baseball, and you know why they started 581 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: that saying, right, why is that? Because bats should know this. 582 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: I used to put work in baseball back in the day. 583 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: In the grocery stores when they had high, high shelves, 584 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: they used to have a pole and they pulled the 585 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: can down and you catch it like a can of corn. Right, 586 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: So that's only the insight that Mickey Spagnola can provide you. 587 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: Let's try cowboys, because the grocery stores probably don't stack 588 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: their stuff that high. And you don't have to get 589 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: a pole, yeah, or you don't have to get a poll. Well, 590 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: people group taller. Right, Wait, so where are your's What's 591 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: where's the connection between hey catch the grocery stores. It 592 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: like a can of corn. Okay, okay, you know, just 593 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: like in baseball and they say, oh it's a high 594 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: pop up. It's a can of corn, you know, and 595 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: you catch it. He also had a cool little juggling 596 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: act after practice where he would they were trying to 597 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: catch as many as they could, but he would toss 598 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: one up the air, catch it one handed, and then 599 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: catch the other one, catch the other one so he 600 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: could hold the other one in this hand, get rid 601 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: of the one in this hand, and then catch the 602 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: thing he threw in the air. So I saw. I'm 603 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: not a producer, but look for that on hard Knock 604 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: who was Triumph, who was one of the guys, was 605 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: trying to do it, and he couldn't throw the ball 606 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: up in the air straight, ye, throw it, throw it 607 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: out in front of him. Then he's lugen to catch 608 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: this one. He'd catch the other one right. Well, don't 609 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: you remember Jenorris Jenkins when they did that in training 610 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: camp that one year when Bill was here and and 611 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: they were trying to catch see how many the and 612 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: I think he caught like five, wasn't it. Pac Man 613 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: did no, pac Man, that's right, Yeah, pac Man did it. 614 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: Yeah he caught like yeah, yeah it was pac Man, 615 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: that's right. And then everybody kept trying to do it. 616 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: He had like six at once. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 617 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: can of corn, cann of corn. Yeah. I think it's 618 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: interesting to think about the decision that's going to go 619 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: into the punt return of question. Shoe. He got us 620 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: down a little bit of a rabbit hole there, But 621 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: at some point, and I think, Rob, you ask a 622 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: good question because it's a decision that would have to 623 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: be made if there's depth that shoes that wide receiver, 624 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: or if Ceedee Lamb just takes that second year leap 625 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: and turns into maybe the best receiver or future receiver 626 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: on this cowboy's roster. Do you still put him out there? 627 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: Is twenty yards on every couple punt returns more valuable 628 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: than having a healthy number one wide. I just think 629 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: at this point they're not afraid to do that, to 630 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: put him out there at all. No, it ain't right now, No, 631 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: it ain't twenty yards. It's the sixty yards that I 632 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: could get that would be nice. There's that, And you know, 633 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: like because the common example for the opposite thinking is well, 634 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: they never let Dez Bryant do it well Dez Bryant. 635 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: I think sometimes with Dez they were trying to protect 636 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: des from Dez sure because Dez was so physical and 637 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: wanted to always you know, you know, not live to 638 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: play another down, you know what I mean? And I 639 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: think that was one reason why they didn't do that 640 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: with Dez. Well, did you trust Dez to make the 641 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: right decision? Well, okay, maybe there's a fair catch. Maybe 642 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: I got a fair catch this one. Okay, maybe I 643 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't trust him, but no, But fine. But there's also, 644 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: like you just said earlier, there are situations where you 645 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: can have a safe return or if the other teams 646 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: backed up and there's a clear return situation. They used 647 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: to do that with Terence Newman too. Yeah, you could 648 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: have done that with Dez, but I don't think they 649 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: trust the Dez just you know, just go down.

We gotta get off a little 701 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: bit early today because Mike McCarthy speaking up on the 702 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: podium here in Training Camp twenty twenty one presented by 703 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: American Airlines, Mickey's Bagnola, Rob Phillips and Kyle Yeomans and 704 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: Rob I'll starts with you on this one. It is 705 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: just nothing but refreshing to see the starting offensive line 706 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 1: back together, Lyle Collins, Tyrant Smith along with Zach Martin. 707 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: You've even got Connor Williams, Tyler Biadas. The front five 708 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: are out there and they're running in team drills eleven 709 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: on eleven. How refreshing is it to see that again? 710 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: Extremely refreshing, and it's nice to hear from Tyrn Smith 711 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: and Lyle Collins like we did a couple in the 712 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: last couple of days. Lyle talk yesterday and talked about 713 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: how just about the long road back eighteen weeks he 714 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: was on a walker then crutches, couldn't bathe himself at 715 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: times after the hip surgery. I mean that that is 716 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: the type of stuff we don't see and hear about 717 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: when guys are coming back from serious injuries. He said, 718 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: he never considered retirement. I think that was a false 719 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: report out there. But yeah, I think it's they've been 720 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: out We've talked about Blake Jarwin. Both those guys have 721 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: been out there moving well. I don't see anything, you know, 722 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: that's out of the ordinary there, and I think both 723 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: guys Lyle said in twenty nineteen his hip started bothering 724 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: and tyrants had kind of that residual back next stuff 725 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: for a while. I think these surgeries are supposed to 726 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: permanently fix those issues. So I think there's a comfort 727 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,479 Speaker 1: level there and a great job by by Britt Brown 728 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 1: and the rehab process as well. If there's a question 729 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: mark for me, it's some of the depth issues they have, 730 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: or depth questions on the offensive line. Who's the swing tackle, 731 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: who's the backup center. I think those questions still have 732 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: to be determined. But it's great to see the starting 733 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: vibe out there, for sure. So this is a bad visual. 734 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: But he couldn't bathe himself, That's what he said. Did 735 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: anybody else who did it? Nope? I didn't want to. 736 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: He talked about his support system that his family was around. 737 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: I didn't want know. It's not getting into too much 738 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: detail here. It was a sort of refreshing as waking 739 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: up every morning here and it's sixty two degrees. That's 740 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: how refreshing it was. Um, we're just in the ditch 741 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: every second. Gotta out yep, keep going, keep going. What 742 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: else you got me? Now? I have no problems with 743 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: the starting five. I think as solid as can be. 744 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm keeping my eye on the swing tackle 745 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: and I'm keeping my eye in the backup center because 746 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: no one on this roster behind Beads snapped the ball 747 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: in an NFL game last year. That's considered a backup center. 748 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: One of them is a rookie free agent, right. The 749 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: other one's a guy that played guard that they're moving 750 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: the center who had played some center at in Nebraska. 751 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: Farniac did get drafted, which is what he didn't play 752 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL. You're right, he was right. That is 753 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: my point. Those are the two that have had snaps 754 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 1: at center outside of Beads. And by the way, both 755 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: of them in the first two practice have had a fumble, 756 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: have had a bad snap, and finally they got um. 757 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: So when they do, when the stretchings going on and 758 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are doing their deal on the other field 759 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 1: and they get somebody they practice snap into the center, right, 760 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: and Connor Williams is over there. Yeah last year too, 761 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: And and he actually got a snap with the seconds 762 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: yesterday in practice and sailed at five feet over the 763 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks head in a shotgun. She didn't have a chance. 764 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: So I don't know that they consider somebody. RI saw 765 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 1: read something that they considered him the backup center. And 766 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: that's the furthest from the truth because Farniac OTAs and 767 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: and minicamp was in there with the seconds. By the way, 768 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: he didn't play a lot of center in college either. 769 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: He didn't really, That's what I'm here in Nebraska. Yeah, 770 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,720 Speaker 1: he was moving the tackle yard. He was a tackle guard, 771 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: and I think they ended up moving him back to guard, 772 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: you know. So it's been ale and then everybody talks 773 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: about Connor McGovern. The last time Connor McGovern actually played 774 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: a season of center at Penn State was twenty seventeen. 775 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, and I talked to him at mini camp 776 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: and he said, I'm basically working in guard right now. Yeah, 777 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: he's not. I haven't. I haven't. I see him sometimes 778 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: doing that pre practice snap stuff, but other than that, 779 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: he's been at guard. So, um, keep an eye off 780 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 1: for Jumbo Joe at some point. Well, I think it's 781 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: it's in their hip pocket probably if he kept himself 782 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: in shape. You think that could be after week one 783 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: thing with the not guaranteed veteran contracts, Yes, it could be. 784 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: It may take some time if he's in shape, But again, 785 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: what are what are the COVID rules? It's true because 786 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,919 Speaker 1: it would take about five days for right an unvaccinated 787 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: player to come in and do it vaccinated unvaccinated? Um? 788 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 1: Is he in shape? Because he could eat himself out 789 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: of a job by three? Um? So I think they 790 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: got to let these young guys. Um, yeah right, let 791 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: these young guys just let's see what they got. And 792 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: again we're we're saying all this stuff and the pads 793 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: haven't come. Yeah, not one padded practice since the end 794 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: of last season, So I think we have to wait. 795 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: But but you you know what for the backup tackle spot. Yeah, 796 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: you could watch their footwork right and it almost tells 797 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: you can they do this or can't they do this? 798 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: So what do you think about time? And Secky? Right now, 799 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm not overly impressed. Um. Same, I would like to 800 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: see more of Josh ball. They're gonna give him a chance. Um, 801 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: he may have to get stronger at some point, and 802 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: I can't do that in a month. Um. Terrence Steele 803 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: is still there taking second team reps and he's tacks both, 804 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: but mostly at the right side, right Brandon Knight. We've 805 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: seen him a little at guard. He's been at guard 806 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: rum And you know you've said this, and I agree 807 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 1: with you. If you get into the season and there's 808 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 1: a brig Glass emergency situation, Zack Martin could be my 809 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,399 Speaker 1: right tack. He's my right tackle. And because you know why, 810 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: I trust Connor McGovern to go in and play guard now. 811 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: I think the reason they were hesitant last year because 812 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 1: they weren't sure McGovern was ready to play after missing 813 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: all the previous season. And then when they got comfortable 814 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: with him playing guard, it was like, Okay, is he 815 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 1: playing guard better than Terrence Steele playing right tackle? And 816 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: the answer was yes, the whole best five right right exactly. 817 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: And so I think he's got their confidence now that yeah, 818 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: drop of a hat, Zack Martin's going out there. I 819 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 1: ain't missing around. So starting five offensive line right now, 820 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: compared to last year's training camp, you feel much better. Yeah, 821 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: and I let them all. Yeah, I don't know about 822 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: training camp. Two games into the season, I feel much better, right, true, 823 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: because you didn't have Lale Collins, you didn't have Tyrn Smith. 824 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: Collins was only out at training camp, like what one practice? 825 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't even think he did. He was out there 826 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: for a little little bit practice. Did he get on 827 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: the field like in a team situation? I don't think so. 828 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: He was definitely went back and looked at my notes, 829 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: he did, because it's in this notebook. But he got 830 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: out there for it was like four snaps though. Mack. Yeah, 831 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,479 Speaker 1: it was. He was trying to push through this hip 832 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: thing and they've just decided we've got to do something. 833 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: And then and then you got to remember Travis Frederick 834 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: wasn't there, you know, right questions too, and so you know, 835 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everybody just assumed Joe Looney was 836 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: your starting center. I guarantee you had they had an 837 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: off season in preseason, Beatish would have beat him out 838 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: by time the season opener. I think i'd agree. Do 839 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 1: you think it was weird that when Tyler got healthy 840 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: they didn't put him back in down the stretch last year? Yes? 841 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: I do but he got healthy, and then okay, now 842 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: he's can put a uniform on, but was he ready 843 00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 1: to play? And then maybe for continuity's sake, that's so 844 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: many change they said, okay, let's leave Looney in there. 845 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: I think he had won the job in those four 846 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: starts that he had or he and I think he 847 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: played the majority of two other games in a relief role. 848 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: To me, it's like, well, we talked about Randy Gregory 849 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: a defensive end. What they haven't done at center tells 850 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: me it's Tyler Biadas's job. Yeah, I don't think there's 851 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: any question. It's the backup question, the depth that's the issue. 852 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,879 Speaker 1: And we found out last year how important that is, right, Yeah, Yeah, 853 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for them, I felt really good about this last 854 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: segment about the offensive line until you said that, But 855 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,800 Speaker 1: comparative to last year, now I don't feel that great anymore. 856 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it here for us on talking Cowboys. 857 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed the last forty five minutes with us. 858 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: We're having some fun out here in Oxnard.
