Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is Mick Shot streaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the official Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: As Welcome to another edition of mix Shots. Here in
Speaker 3: ox Star, California, we are at Cowboys training camp. Nate Newton, Savannah,
Speaker 3: Hugh Mohler, Mickey Spagnola with you this morning, along with
Speaker 3: the zamboni right on que. There was no noise here
Speaker 3: until we started it, and here he comes. Make it
Speaker 3: another pass on this Thursday. It's a little clowny today, guys.
Speaker 4: Yes it is, Yes, it is.
Speaker 5: It talks too bad though. It should warm up. We'll
Speaker 5: get the sunshine going.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 4: Don't bother me to me. It's perfect weather, sixty four
Speaker 4: degrees perfect weather.
Speaker 5: Wait, I have to ask Nate about his adventure yesterday
Speaker 5: on the motorcycle.
Speaker 7: You went up north yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I went up toward San Francisco and San Francisco,
Speaker 2: towards San Francisco.
Speaker 4: For San Francisco, I made it. Probably. I was about
Speaker 4: two hundred miles from San Francisco. For I turned around.
Speaker 8: How many miles?
Speaker 2: About two hundred miles from San Francisco, about three hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty very far. Yeah, No, it's three hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty to San Francisco and I got up to about
Speaker 2: two hundred.
Speaker 8: Can we turn our cameras around?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, turn out came. We got we got Dack throwing
Speaker 2: the bat, throwing the ball way up and there we
Speaker 2: medicine ball.
Speaker 4: Ye had the medicine ball. I want to get that
Speaker 4: on camera, going to quickly?
Speaker 7: You want me to film that? Yeah, come on back back?
Speaker 4: So wow? Anyway, well were it?
Speaker 8: Deck's work it out right.
Speaker 5: Hey, he's getting his morning workout in before our big
Speaker 5: practice at two pm when the Rams come.
Speaker 7: To our house. Today, be a very exciting day here.
Speaker 8: What are you looking for, Nate?
Speaker 2: I'm looking for news and notes and well, who's injured
Speaker 2: and who's not before we even started.
Speaker 4: I want to know everything, you know, Mick.
Speaker 3: Well, we had a walk through yesterday, okay, or as
Speaker 3: they called it, a mock game, yes, and so there
Speaker 3: really wasn't a practice. We got a chance to talk
Speaker 3: to the Cowboys assistant coaches, not the coordinators, the assistant
Speaker 3: so we got to uh do that. Uh if the
Speaker 3: walkthrough meant anything, it looked like Tyler Geiton was out
Speaker 3: there with the first team offense. So we'll see if
Speaker 3: he's ready to jump back into practice. Uh he had
Speaker 3: a chess cold. Did you ever miss practice with a
Speaker 3: chess cold?
Speaker 4: Yet?
Speaker 2: No, because we had vixed vapor rub and we put
Speaker 2: it on our chest and they hit us in the
Speaker 2: chest and in the back of a couple of times.
Speaker 2: We threw up whatever, and then we got out there
Speaker 2: in practice. Okay, a new style of player. They're just
Speaker 2: as tough, just as physical. I'm not knocking a little
Speaker 2: vix vapor rub with a hot rag over it.
Speaker 7: All right, here's here's the moment. Yes, all right, we'll
Speaker 7: get back to it.
Speaker 3: So while uho video in here, we'll go on. So
Speaker 3: maybe get will be ready to practice today.
Speaker 4: Yes, we need to sund to see young guy.
Speaker 2: We need to see him get in every rep that
Speaker 2: he's gonna get because right now Tuma Adoga has been
Speaker 2: in and out and our one constant guy has been.
Speaker 4: Austin Richards right and he and he's doing a nice job.
Speaker 2: But they want to see the competition between Tchuma and
Speaker 2: guiding and giving guid and a first shot it at
Speaker 2: being that startup and.
Speaker 3: We'll see if they how much they would put the
Speaker 3: first team guys out here in this practice. I would
Speaker 3: imagine since it's a practice, they will do this more
Speaker 3: than they will against the Rams in the in the
Speaker 3: preseason game because this is controlled. Because I saw them,
Speaker 3: it looked like they were doing some stuff getting ready.
Speaker 8: For the Rams game.
Speaker 3: Uh, and they were working awesome as the left guard,
Speaker 3: and they were looking working t J. Bass as the
Speaker 3: right guard. So they're not going to put Zach Martin
Speaker 3: out there, maybe not even Tyler Smith.
Speaker 8: Lam in this in this in this practice.
Speaker 2: Coaches love practices and scrimmages against other teams. It gives
Speaker 2: you chance as a player to go up against different
Speaker 2: talent with different styles. You maybe have the same over
Speaker 2: and under defense, but it's a different player that's gonna
Speaker 2: give you a different deal. Like a few years ago
Speaker 2: when Aaron Donald was here, that was a whole different level.
Speaker 2: A player got to say, Okay, this is what I
Speaker 2: really need to work on because I've seen number fifty eight,
Speaker 2: I've seen Mazi for thirty days, but this right here
Speaker 2: is something special when you see Aaron Donald. So it's
Speaker 2: the same whereas you can bet with Parsons lineup at
Speaker 2: at the defensive imposition. These there are times to be
Speaker 2: like WHOA, this is different, and so it gives you
Speaker 2: a mindset where you may have to hell, okay, I'm
Speaker 2: at the right level.
Speaker 4: Are you amo to raise your game the way you practice?
Speaker 3: So, since you asked about guys still rehabbing over shown,
Speaker 3: they're kind of slow playing him right now. They know
Speaker 3: he's coming back from that ACL and the other day
Speaker 3: I saw him hop off practice after a player or two.
Speaker 3: Now he came back, but they're kind of slow playing
Speaker 3: it and looked like yesterday he was going through rehab.
Speaker 3: Royce Freeman, the same thing, soft tissue injury Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 3: While he has been out there, it's been seven on
Speaker 3: seven in pads, but not team. My guess is they
Speaker 3: don't put them in team until Tuesday. He's not going
Speaker 3: to play in the preseason. I don't think they got
Speaker 3: a practice on Friday, really a walkthrough on Saturday, travel
Speaker 3: to La Sunday. It's a day off on Monday, so
Speaker 3: Tuesday would be the next big practice day.
Speaker 8: They're practicing Friday, but I bet they don't put them
Speaker 8: in team yet. But he's close and he's moving awfully well.
Speaker 8: I don't know if what you.
Speaker 4: Guys have noticed.
Speaker 2: About these guys and miss Britt Brown is doing it
Speaker 2: is each one of them got their own snap count
Speaker 2: each guy, how many plays they want them to go out,
Speaker 2: percentage of practice they want them to go, and what
Speaker 2: drills they want them in and don't want them in.
Speaker 4: So they're being real careful about that.
Speaker 2: The most important thing here is we know that these
Speaker 2: guys needs a structurally sound What you have to be
Speaker 2: weary of now is you gott understand your quads and
Speaker 2: your calves and your hamstrings. Now got to go out
Speaker 2: on this field and do a different deal. It ain't
Speaker 2: a control workout or control where you know what's going on.
Speaker 2: When you trying to recover receiver. You can be twisted up,
Speaker 2: bent any type way. So before you just get a
Speaker 2: guy exploding the muscles everywhere like that, you got to
Speaker 2: give them time to ramp up to this type of pace.
Speaker 5: Also, you know we've talked earlier about how Mike Zimmer
Speaker 5: has been meeting with Michael Persons early in the morning
Speaker 5: and Trayvon Diggs, both in the same realm, and it
Speaker 5: takes one moment for you know, them to discuss Hey,
Speaker 5: this is what's going to be happening, and here's different
Speaker 5: plays and everything. But when Trayvon's coming back from this injury,
Speaker 5: and as it's a slow progression for him getting onto
Speaker 5: the field, it's gonna take a little bit of time
Speaker 5: to connect the dots and it is going back to
Speaker 5: the mentality. Yes he is physically ready, but you still
Speaker 5: have to slowly be implementing those plays on the field,
Speaker 5: and that's going to take a little bit more time
Speaker 5: if you ask me.
Speaker 3: So, you know how the players say, you gotta stay
Speaker 3: where your feet are, Gotta stay where your shoes are too.
Speaker 3: Got to get used to wearing your cleats, be walking
Speaker 3: out there barefoot.
Speaker 4: Oh and I found out.
Speaker 2: I went to one of the trainers and say, is
Speaker 2: there anything behind this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just different.
Speaker 7: I knew it. Yeah, he's just different.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: He come out there with his water bottle, with his
Speaker 2: shoes off. He just he's just a different guys. That's
Speaker 2: a high level guy, just like a great singer. Just
Speaker 2: a little bit eccentric, you know, may be my own thing.
Speaker 3: So one of the things that I'll be interested to see,
Speaker 3: not only in this scrimmage, but the preseason game on
Speaker 3: Sunday is the running back position. You know, we keep
Speaker 3: hearing about, oh, we're going to do this running back
Speaker 3: by committee. Well, I think we sort of know who
Speaker 3: the top two guys in the committee are, right yeah,
Speaker 3: Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Down. Yeah, and that's kind of
Speaker 3: how they've been using them right.
Speaker 4: Now, Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3: Zeke's been out there majority first and second, Rico kind
Speaker 3: of the third down back, and then they kind of
Speaker 3: switch it up.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: When we talked to Jeff Glasco yesterday, I talked to
Speaker 3: him the day before also on the running back committee,
Speaker 3: and he thinks that you know, what they've seen so
Speaker 3: far from these guys that you know they'll be able
Speaker 3: to do what they want to do. Pointed out that,
Speaker 3: you know, a lot the teams in the league don't
Speaker 3: have just one dog doing all the work.
Speaker 8: That they're using multiple running backs.
Speaker 3: So I thought the third guy had been Royce Freeman,
Speaker 3: which I thought was somewhat surprising because when you looked
Speaker 3: at his track record, you know, other than his first
Speaker 3: two years in the league, he really hasn't been that active.
Speaker 4: With teams.
Speaker 3: Last year he got a little bit more exposure and
Speaker 3: then he ended up with I think it's a hamstring
Speaker 3: or growing and he has missed the last few practices,
Speaker 3: but he kind of was running as the third guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he made an impression on you
Speaker 3: guys or have you noticed anything about Freeman.
Speaker 5: Well, I think he made a big impression on coaches.
Speaker 5: Even coach McCarthy was saying the other day how great
Speaker 5: it's been having him on this roster, but also how
Speaker 5: he was also going to be a big contributor to
Speaker 5: even special teams. So you know, it's unfortunate that he's
Speaker 5: missing these practices and hopefully this injury isn't something that's
Speaker 5: more long lasting.
Speaker 7: I think that there's a lot of use for Royce Freeman.
Speaker 5: He's a bigger body for this running back position, and
Speaker 5: they might be able to utilize him as far as
Speaker 5: you know, even red zone something like that is what
Speaker 5: I'm kind of envisioning for him.
Speaker 2: Nay I yeah, you know, make sometime, you know, this
Speaker 2: old dude gets stuck. And right about eyes on, it's
Speaker 2: only three guys. I'm looking at the rest of them.
Speaker 2: Got to show me through pre season. Ezekiel, ric o'dono
Speaker 2: and uh Hunter Limpke when they're in. I watched when
Speaker 2: the other running backs in. I'm just like, okay, I'm
Speaker 2: just we'll see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I have to I.
Speaker 2: Really really have to see, you know, because we can't
Speaker 2: count Deuce Van. He got another year under his belt
Speaker 2: and trying to understand what this league is about and
Speaker 2: is speed of this league?
Speaker 8: So and and he's been missing practice.
Speaker 2: Ye, he's been missing practice. So I'm just saying, when
Speaker 2: you go into a pre he's in game. And unfortunately
Speaker 2: they don't do this out here and doing scrimmages or
Speaker 2: practices against other teams. Is you don't too much worry
Speaker 2: about who run in at running back. First, watch who's
Speaker 2: playing special teams first, right, That'll tell you real quick.
Speaker 2: If they like Ross Spreeman and they keep talking about
Speaker 2: special teams, if they like Billy Johnson, they keep talking
Speaker 2: about special team, Let's see where they're at and how
Speaker 2: many special teams they're on. That is what you look at,
Speaker 2: and that'll tell you who they really looking at.
Speaker 8: So I think if we talk about the top three, yeah,
Speaker 8: Lipicky's the third.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The way they're using them right now, he's a fullback,
Speaker 3: but they're they're employing the full back a little bit more.
Speaker 3: It seems like in different areas than they did last
Speaker 3: year so far.
Speaker 2: And there's no hesitation when when they say when they
Speaker 2: move a team, oh the seventh period, second and third down,
Speaker 2: Long is the first guy that even before uh, before
Speaker 2: of the kid Rico do he is the first guy
Speaker 2: running out there with uh. With that, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: So that is what I've been noticing. That's what I've
Speaker 2: been noticing. Now, maybe they didn't want that out there,
Speaker 2: but I'm giving you on some news.
Speaker 3: Well, he's they've had him lined up as a true
Speaker 3: full back, yes, with two back system. They had him
Speaker 3: lined up in a two back system, but offset over
Speaker 3: by the tackle yard and then and then they've been
Speaker 3: using him as a one back in a lot of situations,
Speaker 3: even on third down situations. So he kind of reminds
Speaker 3: me of Mike's full back in Green Bay QN.
Speaker 8: I forgot his first name, forgot.
Speaker 3: All I know is he ripped the Cowboys one year
Speaker 3: for like three touchdowns.
Speaker 4: In the game.
Speaker 3: So, but uh, he likes to use the fullback and
Speaker 3: I think, uh Liftke looks a little like he's put
Speaker 3: on some uh not weight, but strength, like uh, muscle,
Speaker 3: he looks bigger. So you know, I think everybody last
Speaker 3: year remembers the goal line fumble in Miami.
Speaker 7: Right, that's that's his big Yeah, everyone somebody for that.
Speaker 3: But I was like, seriously, it was a mix up
Speaker 3: on who was supposed to get the ball, right, But
Speaker 3: I I like those three right now. And Blasco even said,
Speaker 3: you know, with this committee thing, they whoever gets put
Speaker 3: on the practice squad, you know, you can elevate a
Speaker 3: guy three times. Maybe in a particular game. They want
Speaker 3: to see Malik Davis out there, so we'll see.
Speaker 8: How it works out.
Speaker 3: But right now, from a production standpoint, I think Zeke's
Speaker 3: running just fine. Again as he said, especially for the
Speaker 3: running backs. And this is what we know, it's hard
Speaker 3: to judge until the bullets start flying, like the preseason game.
Speaker 3: Right now, I don't know that Zeke's going to be
Speaker 3: out there in that preseason game, but it'll be a
Speaker 3: well able to see what ric O'Donnell's doing. Malik Davis,
Speaker 3: Snoop Connor, Deuce needs to get himself back out there.
Speaker 5: A study rotation ye nicely and giving that opportunity to
Speaker 5: those guys to kind of showcas what they can do
Speaker 5: in preseason is going to be very important. But when
Speaker 5: it comes back to Hunter Lupkey, I really like his
Speaker 5: confidence right now too. He seems a little bit more
Speaker 5: comfortable in his second year. He knows exactly what he
Speaker 5: needs to kind of bring to the table. One quote
Speaker 5: that I really like from him, he turned off all
Speaker 5: social media this year. He was like, I want to
Speaker 5: focus just solely on football. But he said, your film
Speaker 5: is your resume. So he's in there watching film regularly,
Speaker 5: going back to exactly what he is, you know, showcasing,
Speaker 5: and he's trying to study to make himself a better player.
Speaker 2: The thing about being a cowboy player, it's just it's
Speaker 2: the same as the team.
Speaker 4: Half the people gonna love you and have the people
Speaker 4: gonna hate you.
Speaker 2: So if you're a big social media guy, this ain't
Speaker 2: the world you need to be in, right, you know,
Speaker 2: not in doing training have you?
Speaker 4: You have to be like Lympkey.
Speaker 2: You have to be like Lebron James when the playoff come,
Speaker 2: I don't need you, I don't need to hear you.
Speaker 4: I ain't got no extra tickets. It's over.
Speaker 2: I'm turning my phone off, I'm turning my computer off.
Speaker 2: And that is a smart thing that lip get's done.
Speaker 2: If it ain't his wife was young lady that he's
Speaker 2: close to. He don't need to hear from him.
Speaker 5: So it by the way, it's John Coon is John
Speaker 5: as the fullback and green.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: You came into the league twice, really as an undrafted
Speaker 3: free agent. Once with Washington R. I said, yes see,
Speaker 3: and then when you came to the Cowboys, it was
Speaker 3: almost the same thing all over income. So what your
Speaker 3: mentality when you're trying to make a team when you
Speaker 3: know you're undrafted and you got a tough hill to climb?
Speaker 2: You know, this is what I try to tell young guys.
Speaker 2: You you're gonna be at the back of the line,
Speaker 2: so you'll get to see all the mistakes. Don't go
Speaker 2: up there and make the same mistake at the guys
Speaker 2: before you don't. Don't make that mistake. Make sure you
Speaker 2: study your playbook. That's why I.
Speaker 4: Messed up in Washington. I wasn't a good studier.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand defenses, especially multiple moving defenses.
Speaker 4: It just blew my mind. I just freaked out.
Speaker 2: So I understand and the quicker You learn something and
Speaker 2: rehearse it and walk and walk throughs are very important.
Speaker 2: Now at the game begins to slow down, and now
Speaker 2: you can start to see things, and now you can
Speaker 2: let your athletic ability in your physical presence take over.
Speaker 4: And it took me a long time.
Speaker 2: It took me going to the US a veil and
Speaker 2: learning this and a coach believing in me.
Speaker 4: But every rep counts because you got a stand.
Speaker 2: This is wide receivers are getting the fourth and fifth
Speaker 2: guy are getting at least four extra catchers per practice
Speaker 2: because those four extra catchers will be going to see
Speaker 2: the lamb. The next three catchers will be going to cooks,
Speaker 2: and then it'll be split.
Speaker 4: Between uh turping and another guy.
Speaker 2: And so with the fifth guy and the tall guy,
Speaker 2: and every now and then they're throwing a ball and
Speaker 2: catch him off guard. That's how that's how few balls
Speaker 2: you would get. So every rep, you know, they were like, man,
Speaker 2: we're throwing the ball and he's dropped. And then somebody
Speaker 2: come to his defense. Well you ain't throwing with two
Speaker 2: balls in two days. Well he better catch those balls.
Speaker 2: So every rep counts. When I see all some riches,
Speaker 2: that's my man. But every time I see him technique
Speaker 2: technique technique, I walk downd. Hey, bro, keep your technique.
Speaker 2: I don't care out here and practice. I say you
Speaker 2: can adjust as the game go on. But technique, technique
Speaker 2: technique today. When I see him at practice, I wanna say, bruh,
Speaker 2: you don't know these guys. Allowing your technique, your strength
Speaker 2: and your feet of being, it will be in there.
Speaker 4: Allow your technique to take over. That's what you do.
Speaker 2: You have to be a technique sound person. You have
Speaker 2: to know what to do, know the snap count, know
Speaker 2: who to block. Unless your technique take over.
Speaker 8: There you go.

Speaker 7: And you.
Speaker 5: I guess we can close out the Hunter Lupkey subject,
Speaker 5: but I did have one more no on, John Koon,
Speaker 5: who McCarthy had in Green Bay. So similar to Hunter Lupkey,
Speaker 5: Kuhne was a Division two player out of Shippensburg, and
Speaker 5: he went undrafted in two thousand and five. So a
Speaker 5: very similar sort of path, exactly like Hunter Lupkey.
Speaker 7: So McCarthy likes.
Speaker 2: If he like, if he like Kroon Humes or whatever
Speaker 2: his name, the fans will be calling him out.
Speaker 4: This is what I like about coach McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Is he has survived with just one good running back.
Speaker 2: Zeke used to be a great running back. Now Zeke
Speaker 2: is an exceptional good running back. Experience knows what to
Speaker 2: do tough. Okay, now we need for Rico o'donald to
Speaker 2: pick his game up. His injury threshold lifted up a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 4: Now we get Limpy is gonna be the change up guy.
Speaker 4: Now you're gonna look at him.
Speaker 2: He he can't do nothing, all of a suddenly catching
Speaker 2: a as out of the backfield, a scream up the sideline.
Speaker 2: This kid is gonna be all right. Now he's a
Speaker 2: better blocker last year, Like you said, half a man.
Speaker 2: Now he's hitting guys right down the middle. He's taking
Speaker 2: the punishment and giving the punishment. And full backs are
Speaker 2: gonna put in be put in awkward positions. That's what
Speaker 2: scares young guys, because now you're running over everybody in college.
Speaker 2: But these are grown men and they'll stand you up
Speaker 2: and you don't have to get the perfect block. You
Speaker 2: just have to get something on them, and you're running
Speaker 2: back and make the move.
Speaker 7: Just out of curiosity.
Speaker 5: Going into today's practice against the Rams, what are both
Speaker 5: of your expectations as far as what this day looks.
Speaker 7: Like for the team.
Speaker 2: For me, I want quickness and physicalness. I want effort, quickness,
Speaker 2: physicalness with effort. I'll worry about the rest. If you
Speaker 2: come out here and let him out hustle us.
Speaker 4: Just be a physical presence. I can't I'm not gonna
Speaker 4: be able to take that this year.
Speaker 2: I need a physical presence every time you walk on
Speaker 2: the field.
Speaker 4: Not not whether you're paying the forty nine ers a Cleveland.
Speaker 2: I know you're gonna get pumped up for them, but
Speaker 2: what you're gonna do about the lower level teams. Be
Speaker 2: physical at all times and give me great efforts. Start fast,
Speaker 2: start fast, start fast, start fast.
Speaker 3: The word that came to mind to me is compete,
Speaker 3: sort of what Nate's talking about.
Speaker 8: Get out there and compete. You know, winning and losing.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter out here, but you better compete hard, and
Speaker 3: you gotta turn it up a little bit more than
Speaker 3: just your regular practice. And I think that they better
Speaker 3: be ready for that because the Rams are gonna come
Speaker 3: in here. You know, this is like an away game
Speaker 3: to them, and they're gonna be fired up to compete,
Speaker 3: So you gotta match their intensity.
Speaker 4: On understand this.
Speaker 2: I'm never and I've been around the Cowboys, and Mike,
Speaker 2: you've been around the Cowboys forever. The only team that
Speaker 2: has had that had that really didn't care about us
Speaker 2: ever was the Raiders. But I have never been in
Speaker 2: the inner squash. I've been against the Chargers, against this
Speaker 2: team here. They come in like they hate us, and
Speaker 2: they always come in with a physical presence.
Speaker 4: The only team that really didn't care was the Raiders.
Speaker 2: They did not practice, but everybody else always came with
Speaker 2: a physical presence. The first time they caught us off guard,
Speaker 2: but after that, it never caught us off guard because
Speaker 2: for some reason, whether they went to the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: or whether they went to the NFC Championship, or they
Speaker 2: come in like we we just won the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: they bring it to this alone.
Speaker 3: Well in Austin, right, those are pretty high intensity practice.
Speaker 4: They come at us.
Speaker 3: As matter of fact, it physical and intense. That one
Speaker 3: year Al Davis walked down the field and stopped the practice.
Speaker 3: It wasn't his place, but he walked on in the
Speaker 3: field and goes, that's it.
Speaker 8: You guys are done. Took the team off the field where.
Speaker 4: We was practicing. In Austin. We used to go against
Speaker 4: the Houston team.
Speaker 2: The same thing, right, great effort to get us. I'm
Speaker 2: if I was saying something to the team, it's only
Speaker 2: three things.
Speaker 4: I would say, your effort, speed, and physicalness. That's what
Speaker 4: I'm looking for.
Speaker 2: That if you're not a veteran guy like the butcher
Speaker 2: the right guard, are still a veteran guy.
Speaker 4: That you're working on something special, those guys would be exempt.
Speaker 2: But everybody else that I talked about thirty guys shouldn't worry.
Speaker 4: But I got third from thirty one on back.
Speaker 2: You should be every chance you get, you should be
Speaker 2: trying to take somebody's head off. Not nothing illegal, but
Speaker 2: within the framework of what's going on out there, you
Speaker 2: should be.
Speaker 4: I want to say, balls, I got you, we understand.
Speaker 3: And one of those guys that kind of fits into
Speaker 3: that that needs to now with the you know, a practice,
Speaker 3: a live practice and then a preseason game. Rock Kaufman,
Speaker 3: you center another undrafted free agency yes, Plactae squad. Now
Speaker 3: it looks like he's kind of solidifying and starting center job.
Speaker 3: All right, but now you've got to play football. This
Speaker 3: ain't practice right and you got to step up and
Speaker 3: everything that he seems to be doing right, you got
Speaker 3: to continue to show that to be able to lock
Speaker 3: that position up.
Speaker 5: One thing that I've really liked hearing from coach McCarthy
Speaker 5: over the past week is the word discipline. He's used
Speaker 5: it in a few different senses, especially for this practice today.
Speaker 5: He wants to see discipline out of this team, as
Speaker 5: far as the physical discipline, the mental discipline, and the
Speaker 5: emotional discipline. So that's one thing that I'm looking to
Speaker 5: see today specifically, is how that's carried on the field
Speaker 5: because this is the first these guys are getting the
Speaker 5: opportunity to hit another team that are not their teammates,
Speaker 5: and so it is going to be physical, but it's
Speaker 5: the attitude that these guys have to bring to this
Speaker 5: practice today. Rock Coffins one of those guys I'd really
Speaker 5: want to see what he's going to bring to the table.
Speaker 8: And basically what he's talking about. We don't need a
Speaker 8: bunch of skirmishes, ye need a bunch of fights.
Speaker 3: And he basically said, you know, if that happens, you're
Speaker 3: coming out of the practice. You know, it would be
Speaker 3: like a game. If you do it in a game,
Speaker 3: you're thrown out. I'll be interested to see if the
Speaker 3: NFL officials who were here for the Tuesday practice are
Speaker 3: here for the scrimmage to try to keep order in discipline.
Speaker 2: You know what, we've had practices where it's been very physical,
Speaker 2: no fighting, no ignorancy, And we've had practices where it's
Speaker 2: been that way. It's your coach a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: different coach. He came in and Fisher that's what he wanted. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 4: What nobody said because it was pre medity. Yeah. What
Speaker 4: you do is you tell for guys man, if if
Speaker 4: you get out of hand.
Speaker 2: Now, if it's anyway I can get loopholes to find you,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna find you. Because that's what Jimmy was about.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go ahead and we need a physical practice.
Speaker 2: We go into the whistle and if God shove you,
Speaker 2: so what the next player is coming. The next offensive
Speaker 2: devins and just shoved me. Big new you never get
Speaker 2: mad because I'm I'm dogging you. Man, you the one upset.
Speaker 2: Why did you just shove me? I told one guy,
Speaker 2: Why did you just shove me?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: You yeah, yeah, I got my hands inside and I
Speaker 2: dump you on your back. So you shoved me as
Speaker 2: long as you don't kick me a.
Speaker 4: Spit on me, were good? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you know what the And I've told
Speaker 3: this story many times, so stop me up here if
Speaker 3: I told it the other day. But in that skirmish
Speaker 3: with the Ram, and it wasn't a skirmish, it was
Speaker 3: an all out brawl.
Speaker 4: There was punches being thrown.
Speaker 3: I was standing on the field behind us, and the
Speaker 3: Cowboys were in goal line against the Rams at the
Speaker 3: fire end, and the fight started right well, the entire
Speaker 3: Rams defense that was on the field ran over to
Speaker 3: where the fight was going, except for their veteran linebacker.
Speaker 4: He stood on the field.
Speaker 3: Romo went under center, hiked the ball and handed off
Speaker 3: and they scored a touchdown. And Rome was going it
Speaker 3: was a levenon one and he raised his hand like
Speaker 3: celebration of a touchdown while everybody else was over there
Speaker 3: fighting it's like he ain't going over there. The rest
Speaker 3: of the offense ship go over there. But the worst
Speaker 3: part was is the fans along the fence. When some
Speaker 3: of the players got pushed to the fence, started throwing punches,
Speaker 3: and I mean it really got out of control, guys,
Speaker 3: you know, and the what's the stupidest thing you can
Speaker 3: do when that's happening, Take your helmet off, right.
Speaker 4: Say that.
Speaker 2: I have with so many plays in me, so I
Speaker 2: want I want getting involved.
Speaker 3: Hey, I wanted to talk about one guy that I've
Speaker 3: noticed starting to get more reps, not only with the
Speaker 3: second team, but actually got a few with the first team.
Speaker 3: And Savannah and I have talked about him, Willie Harvey junior.
Speaker 8: Very impressive number fifty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if.
Speaker 3: You've noticed it, but it was like early I saw
Speaker 3: fifty five out there and I'm.
Speaker 4: Going, not familiar, Kendricks is out.
Speaker 3: And then yeah, and then I said, oh, that's Willie
Speaker 3: Harvey junior. Yeah, and I'm going to keep an eye
Speaker 3: on him in these because he's gonna get a lot
Speaker 3: of reps. I was talking to uh, the coaches and
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, yeah, he's he's he has stepped up.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: His deal is Nate five eleven, two thirds as a linebacker,
Speaker 3: and he's been around the league a little bit practice squads,
Speaker 3: but he.
Speaker 7: Made me with the Browns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with the Browns and if you have the notes
Speaker 3: on him, but he ended up in the UFL this
Speaker 3: past year or no, this year, right, it was, Yeah,
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three he was with the UFL and
Speaker 3: it was with the BattleHawks, and he was a league
Speaker 3: leader in tackles and he was named an All UFL
Speaker 3: team as well. So he.
Speaker 7: Really stood out in that league.
Speaker 5: And now he's getting the chance to kind of showcase
Speaker 5: his skill set here. And he spent several years on
Speaker 5: the practice squad, I think from twenty nineteen until twenty
Speaker 5: twenty two with the Browns, played in only two games.
Speaker 7: But he you know, so far.
Speaker 5: At camp he's had a few picks, he's making tackles,
Speaker 5: he's practicing with the first team, he's getting a.
Speaker 7: Lot of reps. He's one to probably keep an eye
Speaker 7: out for.
Speaker 3: So I talk to Darryl Johnston, who's director of football
Speaker 3: operations for the UFL, and I asked him about him.
Speaker 3: I said, give me a scouting report on him, and
Speaker 3: he said, basically, he's one of these guys that because
Speaker 3: he's small, he automatically gets diminished or overlooked. He goes,
Speaker 3: but in this league you get a second chance. And
Speaker 3: he got to play and he really stood out in
Speaker 3: the league at linebacker. And I said, does he remind
Speaker 3: you of anybody? He goes, Well, look, I'm not talking
Speaker 3: about the total talent and skills, but he was sort
Speaker 3: of he's he's sort of a Sam Mills, right and
Speaker 3: probably at right smaller linebacker, very active, saw.
Speaker 2: The field, played with the Philadelphia Stars.
Speaker 3: Right, and went to he was with the Saints and
Speaker 3: then Carolina. Was he at Carolina?
Speaker 4: New Orleans? Was at Carolina?
Speaker 8: Was he there when you were there? A year?
Speaker 4: Maybe? A year? Maybe?
Speaker 3: So anyway, he's somebody to just keep an eye on, uh,
Speaker 3: and he's gonna get an opportunity.
Speaker 2: Special teams right when you when I hear guys try
Speaker 2: to put special teams that when you talking to a
Speaker 2: linebacker coach, opposition coach and he's talking about a player
Speaker 2: as maybe the you know, third fourth linebacker, fifth receiver,
Speaker 2: they always say automatic special teams. Special teams is gonna
Speaker 2: mean a lot to a lot of these guys. But
Speaker 2: every time Kendricks has been out, he has been the
Speaker 2: starting mic backer. Every time Kendricks has been out, they
Speaker 2: replaced Kendricks.
Speaker 4: For some rest. He is the first guy in.
Speaker 8: And he's caught their attention.
Speaker 3: I was talking to Scott McCurry about it, the linebacker coach,
Speaker 3: and uh he said, he goes.
Speaker 8: He just keeps showing up, he keeps making plays.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: So that'll be an interesting story to see because what
Speaker 3: what DJ said to me is a lot of times,
Speaker 3: when you're that size, you got to fit into the
Speaker 3: right Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like you did.
Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis, right, Yeah, like you did. Jordan Lewis right, exactly.
Speaker 4: So, Yeah, but he just keeps showing he just keeps
Speaker 4: showing up.
Speaker 8: He's too small.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he just keeps showing up. Mickey. Like, but you
Speaker 4: love short linebackers. Huh.
Speaker 8: Well, if they can hit and get to the hole, right, Okay.
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, even Zimmer has talked about how impressed he
Speaker 5: has been with this linebacker group. And we did have
Speaker 5: Eric Kendricks out for a couple of practices and that
Speaker 5: gave these guys a little bit more of an opportunity
Speaker 5: to kind of get in some more reps and just
Speaker 5: seeing some of that from Willie Harvey, Harvey Junior, even
Speaker 5: Buddy Johnson, and also, like you said, how they're going
Speaker 5: to utilize them on special teams.
Speaker 7: That's where a lot of this comes into play.
Speaker 10: Here.
Speaker 2: The thing I try to press upon people, and I
Speaker 2: try to tell Patrick c is when you have a
Speaker 2: guy that starts I'm talking about reps, they'll say, we
Speaker 2: finna do inside run.
Speaker 4: We got fifteen plays.
Speaker 2: Well, the first four is going to the first team.
Speaker 4: That means the fifth guy.
Speaker 2: By the time they get to the next set of
Speaker 2: plays that goes to the second, that's eight plays gone.
Speaker 2: Then they get the second and third in there.
Speaker 4: Now it's another.
Speaker 2: Fourth plays going. That's twelve place. It's three plays left
Speaker 2: for those guys. Take that guy out on the front end.
Speaker 2: Now that's seven plays that a guy that was the
Speaker 2: fourth or fifteen get a chance to do.
Speaker 4: And that's what people don't understand. Well, I ain't wanna
Speaker 4: be that many more reps.
Speaker 2: You're not counting. You're not counting every rep if I
Speaker 2: can get. If you tell me that, I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: to practice two times a day and I'm only gonna
Speaker 2: get four reps and all of a sudden it turns
Speaker 2: into ten reps you came in. But I can't make
Speaker 2: a difference on that film. I can make a difference
Speaker 2: on that film.
Speaker 3: And I think coaches may not say it to us
Speaker 3: how a guy's performing, but they tell us by the
Speaker 3: reps they give guys yes, And if we see reps
Speaker 3: out there, it's like, oh, they think this guy's doing something.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 5: And I've even said this from the very beginning of camp.
Speaker 5: And I'm looking at the wide receiver group not having
Speaker 5: CD Lamb here right now. Look at this wide receiver
Speaker 5: room that is able to make more plays and get
Speaker 5: more reps in. Look at some of these guys being
Speaker 5: able to showcase Tyrone, Billy Johnson, Turpin.
Speaker 7: These are opportunities these.
Speaker 5: Guys have to make an impression on coaches with Ceedee
Speaker 5: Lamb not being at camp.
Speaker 3: So let's continue kind of analyzing that wide receiver group
Speaker 3: when we come back here on mix shots.
Speaker 2: And three receivers, don't worry about I got you COVID,
Speaker 2: great tease, I got you COVID.
Speaker 4: Don't worry about a with three of them.

Speaker 3: hu Mooler, Mickey Spagnola with you here on a cloudy
Speaker 3: day in ox Start, which means that it might get
Speaker 3: a little warmer here eventually if the.
Speaker 8: Marine Layer.
Speaker 4: Dissipates.
Speaker 3: But got a big practice coming up two o'clock La
Speaker 3: Rams coming into town, and then a preseason game on
Speaker 3: Sunday at SOFI, so we'll get to learn a lot
Speaker 3: more about this team.
Speaker 8: We were talking about the wide.
Speaker 3: Receivers, and the one thing I noticed without Lamb here
Speaker 3: is some of these young guys, they show up, they flash,
Speaker 3: and then one day and then the next day you
Speaker 3: don't see much from them. But one guy that I
Speaker 3: think has been consistent has been Jalen Cropper, number sixteen,
Speaker 3: And I think when you're watching this preseason game on Sunday,
Speaker 3: keep an eye out for sixteen, because he's been awfully
Speaker 3: productive and productive with Dak Prescott with the first team
Speaker 3: when he gets his as Nate said, opportunities. I mean,
Speaker 3: he'll make three or four catches a practice and it's like,
Speaker 3: all right, he's not going away. There's only so many
Speaker 3: wide receivers you can keep, so it's gonna be an
Speaker 3: interesting competition.
Speaker 2: The thing that I've liked about all these receivers no
Speaker 2: pads with pass, They've been consistent. So I'm hoping that
Speaker 2: we can take this into this practice today and into
Speaker 2: the into the preseason with these same group of guys
Speaker 2: doing it doing it because each time it wraps up
Speaker 2: a livid higher, the intensity gets a livid higher. So
Speaker 2: if these guys can continue with this pace, it will
Speaker 2: be a hard cut. We'll be sitting here five weeks
Speaker 2: from now, four weeks from I'm saying, hey man, it's
Speaker 2: about four guys that's at that fourth and fifth spot,
Speaker 2: and that's really gonna come down to special team. So
Speaker 2: I like what these guys are doing.
Speaker 4: They are competing at a high level at.
Speaker 2: Least wide receivers and the tight ends are doing the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 8: Nate.
Speaker 3: If you look at it, doing the numbers will include
Speaker 3: LAMB right, right, So you got CD, Brandon Cooks. Probably
Speaker 3: at this point, Jalen Tolbert Cavante Turpin's gonna make the
Speaker 3: team as a special teamer, but he's getting more opportunity
Speaker 3: to a wide receiver.
Speaker 4: So that's five.
Speaker 3: That's that's how many four that's four. Then Jalen Brooks
Speaker 3: has been one of the guys that has stepped up.
Speaker 3: Propper has been one of the guys that has stepped up.
Speaker 3: Tyron Billy Johnson has been a guy that's kind of
Speaker 3: flashed and a late comer.
Speaker 8: To this is racy math. Uh yeah, more balls number
Speaker 8: eighty right yeah, and he's playing well.
Speaker 3: He he He was the unknown receiver at LSU. He
Speaker 3: was there where all the big names coming and that's
Speaker 3: when he was there, and he was probably the third
Speaker 3: fourth receiver. Sky ran of a four three six forty
Speaker 3: whoa at six?
Speaker 8: I think he's six.
Speaker 3: Two if I remember correctly, and uh he's six three
Speaker 3: excuse me, six three two twenty four.
Speaker 8: It's almost a tight end.
Speaker 7: He has the built he has a lot.
Speaker 4: Of well what what happened? I mean, he has some studs,
Speaker 4: but his measurables is huge.
Speaker 3: And he I think he fell through the cracks when
Speaker 3: he you know, into the NFL.
Speaker 4: I know he had to go to the sun Combine
Speaker 4: to Wow.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah he did.
Speaker 3: And uh so he's kind of you know, he was
Speaker 3: on the practice squad last year and maybe he's a
Speaker 3: guy that you know, at least makes the practice squad
Speaker 3: and then if you need somebody like that, elevate him.
Speaker 3: But think of think of that dimension when you're close
Speaker 3: to the goal line, you know, so, uh, keep an
Speaker 3: eye on him to number eighty. Do you guys have
Speaker 3: anybody else, uh that you want to particularly pay attention
Speaker 3: to in the in the preseason. Well, and here's the
Speaker 3: other thing I wanted to point out. Of the receivers,
Speaker 3: it's pretty it's pretty easy out here. When you know
Speaker 3: you're not gonna get tackled. You're pretty brave going across
Speaker 3: the middle. Now, somebody's gonna hit you in that game. Now,
Speaker 3: do you got the same set of hands? Are your
Speaker 3: arms as long as they were?
Speaker 4: That's why I say no pads to paths to this,
Speaker 4: That's what that's that's why it's the progression. Yeah, and so.
Speaker 2: I try not to go here because it's a it's
Speaker 2: kind of a scary situation, fellas.
Speaker 4: And let me tell y'all something. The quicker our offensive.
Speaker 2: Line developed, the great the greater our chances of being
Speaker 2: successful with this season. If our offensive line don't develop, y'all,
Speaker 2: all these great receivers we're talking about, all these great
Speaker 2: tight ends that I know we have, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 2: If guidon are awesome riches a tumor don't develop and
Speaker 2: do something special.
Speaker 4: If brock Hoffmann can't.
Speaker 2: Hold up in the middle, it will not matter. And
Speaker 2: I'm and I know that's a gloom and doom thing.
Speaker 4: And you know that. Don't nor them to come from me.
Speaker 2: But that is the only thing that we should be
Speaker 2: watching for. Not so much, uh you the fans y'all cheer,
Speaker 2: but us be watching for so we can give accurate
Speaker 2: accounts of what happened in this scrimmage and in the game.
Speaker 5: So yesterday I actually had a chance to talk to
Speaker 5: the offensive line coach, Mike Salari, and I asked him
Speaker 5: who in this offensive line group has been surprising him
Speaker 5: the most, and he said nobody. He said, to be
Speaker 5: honest with you, the amount of effort these guys are
Speaker 5: all equally putting in. That's what he is appreciating right now,
Speaker 5: as far as this room goes, He goes, we have
Speaker 5: the leadership. We have Zach Martin, we have Terrence Steele,
Speaker 5: we have Tyler Smith. He goes, it's all fitting together
Speaker 5: like a puzzle, because you do have that great leadership.
Speaker 5: But he said, the guys are all putting in the
Speaker 5: equal amount of effort. And that's one thing that I
Speaker 5: did like hearing. It's just a matter of these younger
Speaker 5: guys being able to step up and really fit in there.
Speaker 4: The thing about it is.
Speaker 2: Me personally, I'm gonna give them preseason, yeah, but I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give them for you know me, Mike Va, y'all
Speaker 2: know me. I'm gonna go for and five games in
Speaker 2: even if we.
Speaker 4: Don't win them all. I'm because you're trying to put
Speaker 4: your team together.
Speaker 2: You can say, you know these guys, but we don't
Speaker 2: know what Guide's gonna do against against Cleveland. We don't
Speaker 2: know what brock Haama gonna do against Cleveland. Cleveland has
Speaker 2: a good defense led by a hell of a player.
Speaker 2: So what we have to do is let these guys
Speaker 2: grow and unify and melt. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like a little big pot of gumbo. We got to
Speaker 2: stir them real slow and let it simmer and let
Speaker 2: them come together.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, You agreement, You gotta make
Speaker 8: the rule.
Speaker 4: You gotta make that rule, right baby? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: And then the other one your show today, yeah, making
Speaker 3: rude right yeah. And the other person that's gonna get
Speaker 3: a lot of snaps, not only in this practice but
Speaker 3: in the preseason game is Trey Lance. And we're gonna
Speaker 3: start seeing a little bit more about him because the
Speaker 3: Cowboys have to find out just what he is.
Speaker 4: And the other.
Speaker 3: Day when they were in team he did a couple
Speaker 3: things and you sit there and you're kind of shaking
Speaker 3: your head like what the hell. And then the last
Speaker 3: play of the team period, he throws a wheel route
Speaker 3: to Snoop Connor. It was about a twenty thirty yard
Speaker 3: pass and it was a bullseye in the back corner
Speaker 3: of the end zone on the wheel route that Snoop
Speaker 3: went up and made the all.
Speaker 8: Of a catch. And you're sitting there going, Okay, I
Speaker 8: see you.
Speaker 3: But it's like, you gotta be consistent, and that's what
Speaker 3: they got to find out about him.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 2: I was hard on this kid, but I went back
Speaker 2: on his background. And I know this is NFL and
Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of time to waste, but
Speaker 2: me personally, I would just I wouldn't tell him this,
Speaker 2: but I just put him on the back burner and
Speaker 2: give him another year, another year away from the forty
Speaker 2: nine ers. I think that hurt him. It did not
Speaker 2: do anything for his psyche and scard him. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: so I you know, y'all don't normally hear me take
Speaker 2: up for a player. I don't understand what this business
Speaker 2: is about. But I wish we just had another guy
Speaker 2: instead of Trey Lansing Camp, you know, and just say trade.
Speaker 2: Just just watch that, Just just watch watch film of
Speaker 2: other guys and let him just get himself right. Because
Speaker 2: it was something about this kid that made the forty
Speaker 2: nine ers move up with all these picks. It's something,
Speaker 2: it's something they saw.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: If he's not mentally ready next year, then okay, but
Speaker 2: I want him to be a part enough removed from
Speaker 2: all that wash.
Speaker 4: He's still a young kid.
Speaker 8: And he hasn't played a lot of football.
Speaker 4: He hasn't he played one full year at see. I
Speaker 4: don't even want to discuss it.
Speaker 8: North Dakota State, right, but he's gonna.
Speaker 2: See how many snaps. He probably see the first two
Speaker 2: at least two quarters each each game. And I wish
Speaker 2: we could running there with the first team line a
Speaker 2: couple of times, just just let him have something clean
Speaker 2: to look.
Speaker 8: At and your your ideas.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, they'll run out of time because he's on the
Speaker 3: last year, yes of his contract.
Speaker 4: And I mean if.
Speaker 2: Sometime like and I always use this asthma, like Zeke,
Speaker 2: we should have never got rid of Zeke. We should
Speaker 2: have locked him in the bathroom and once every when
Speaker 2: free agency passed, said hey.
Speaker 4: Go Zeke, he go.
Speaker 2: This money we're gonna give you, force him to take it,
Speaker 2: you know, And this is what we should do with
Speaker 2: this kid. Hey man, the contract running out, it's over, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is what we're gonna pay.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 2: Come in here and release your mind and your behind
Speaker 2: will follow. Let's play, you.
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I think Trey Lance has been such a big question
Speaker 5: mark since he arrived on this roster. But it's plays
Speaker 5: like when he's throwing a touchdown to Snoop Connor that
Speaker 5: give him that confidence. So as we progress throughout the
Speaker 5: US to this camp and what he's gonna do in preseason.
Speaker 5: It's an opportunity for him to see what he can do,
Speaker 5: for us to see what he can do. But it's
Speaker 5: plays like that that's really gonna build his confidence into
Speaker 5: the player that we're hoping that he might become. But
Speaker 5: it's just kind of TBD in the air. He's still
Speaker 5: a question mark at this point.
Speaker 3: He's got two and a half four weeks of training
Speaker 3: camp and he's got three preseason games to kind of
Speaker 3: sharpen his skills, to see just what he can do, and.
Speaker 2: Just put it and then put him on the back burner.
Speaker 2: Just put him on the practice squad or whatever. Just
Speaker 2: put him on the back burner and let him grow.
Speaker 2: Just this is what I don't understand. This kid probably
Speaker 2: done had eight draft picks that dedicated to him. He's
Speaker 2: been moved up from a nobody to a whole special somebody.
Speaker 2: You went to one of the most prestigious teams in
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, who is on a magnificent run
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 4: These people kick you to the curve.
Speaker 2: Then you turn around to get another fourth round pick
Speaker 2: for you to one of the most iconic teams in.
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys. Do you know this kid? Like, what
Speaker 4: in the world is going on? Yeah?
Speaker 2: From a guy who may only played one year of
Speaker 2: college to this is what the NFL is. Put the
Speaker 2: kid on the back burner, just leave him alone another
Speaker 2: year and then next year Nate may not be so nice.
Speaker 2: If I'm here, If I'm here, because I believe me,
Speaker 2: I'm not in the family portrait either.
Speaker 5: You heard it here first from Nate Newton, Bibe No,
Speaker 5: and you only get it here at mix shots here
Speaker 5: on Dallascowboys dot com.

Speaker 3: we've seen in podcast history. But we'll be back next Monday. Today,
Speaker 3: I gotta get my day straight with this rotation.
