You ought to see my 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.079 arm where the dog jumped on me this morning when 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.480 the trainer came over teaching him play soft. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.600 It was just a thought. It's just a thought. So ladies, 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.360 you know you all right? 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.200 Very good? 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:16.119 All right. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.000 Mickey's got a legal pad filled with all sorts of 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.480 things he. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:21.640 Wants to talk about. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.680 And we had some player transactions that have happened. 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:27.919 Have we met the guy yet? 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.680 I think he should be here today. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.640 Jonathan Mingo is the guy. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:38.080 Guy and Mike did a good job of explaining what 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.320 we explained, yes, okay, good which there was a lot 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.160 of people. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.720 I wasn't able to listen to the press commercy that 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:45.840 on the phone driving in. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.080 A lot of people on talk radio should have been 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.080 listening to us yesterday explaining what did he explain? Well, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.600 he basically said it was a guy that they uh 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.760 that you got to trust the draft process, guy that 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:08.120 they liked, and it was an opportunity to take advantage 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:14.119 of and so they did and they were looking at 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:18.520 the future. It's not like this guy, as we explained yesterday, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.880 was going to save the season. And then we explained 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:27.200 how everybody needed to understand all these other receivers that 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.800 got traded got traded for less because they're thirty some 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.160 years old and have baggage with a salary can and. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.280 They're only going to be with their team for the 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.240 rest of this season. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.520 Yes, and there was a bunch of people on talk 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.320 radio that forced me to go listen to music on 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.960 the way because they didn't listen to us and they 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.279 were being unreasonable. And even though one person was being 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.600 reasonable and explaining it just the way we did, they 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:01.200 don't want to hear it. So we've hit this ditch 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.240 right now that anything the Cowboys do is wrong but 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.600 doesn't matter. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.320 Well because it's not work because whatever they're doing right now. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:13.080 Is not work the way everybody wants it to work. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.080 But the process you're saying is valid. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.320 By the way, there's another thing that I didn't bring 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.440 up yesterday that should be brought up. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.520 I got a card to the round draft picks. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.680 Understanding the compensatory picks. I was just going to say 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.000 that the Cowboys are going to have in the next draft, 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:36.159 and it's the compensatory process is based on who you 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.920 lose in free agency and their production for those teams, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.640 meaning how many games they start playing time so forth, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.760 as opposed to who you signed in free agency and 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.920 what the Cowboys when you look at the lack of activity, 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.840 this is unrestricted free agents that they signed, okay, and 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.599 unrestricted free agents that you lose, which would include Tony Pollard. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.280 All Cowboy fans need to be rooting for Tony Pollard 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.400 to be healthy all season and have a great season 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.359 with the Tennessee Titans. You want Tyron Smith to be 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.720 a healthy all season and do start every game for 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.200 the New York Jets. Tyler Biadish with Washington, Dante Fowler, 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.839 Darrence Armstrong, all those guys need to have well unless 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.320 they're maybe not the Washington guys but the other. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.040 Guys Okay, but just not when you play it right, 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.280 as long as long as they're playing, it's not even 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.760 so much based on their stats. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.240 Waime, you've got. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.040 But you've got but you've got all of those players 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.719 against and and it's factored in how many compensatory picks 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.560 factored in against how much you gained an unrestricted free 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.640 agency and the Cowboys gained. 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.159 Kendricks, Eric Hendricks. 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:56.240 I don't know Zeke Kendricks and Zeke were after the deadline. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:58.839 Right deadline in late April, and they were the only two, 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.280 which is the reason that you wait until that time 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.800 to sign because you're keeping in mind the compensitory. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.240 So there's a chance they could get a fourth for sure, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.080 maybe a fifth, maybe. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.760 They're likely no one, no one knows what the formula 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:14.560 exactly is. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.640 They don't reveal that. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.560 But I would not be at all surprised if the 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.480 Cowboys have three compensatory picks. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.200 Right, and that that was another thing that you needed 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.080 to consider. So I can trade a fourth and you know, 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.840 no one's you know, all the people that saw Jordan 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.160 Phillips come in here, Oh Jordan Phillips. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.080 Right, well it's a sixth row. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.720 But here's the value of the seventh round pick that 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.680 they got in this trade is you didn't take that seventh, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.600 couple it with your fifth, and you move back into 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:45.120 the fourth. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.360 Okay, right, So yeah, exactly, and that no one looks 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.560 at it that way. They just want to overreact. 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.440 So the fourth round pick is nothing. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.080 So there you go, all right, feel better? 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.800 Yes, okay, got that off, all right? So that was 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.840 first and then Micah was supposed to practice on a 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:12.520 limited basis today said he was looking good, but they'll, 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.360 you know, kind of judge how it goes and how 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.160 much he does c D. They said they're going to 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:24.440 be slow with him. He'll be with the probably the 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.080 rehab group. He's not going to do much on the field. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.960 Juan Ye's probably still out concussion protocol, so he's not 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:41.680 ready to go. And who am I forgetting. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.200 So when he was laying on the field, that's what 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:41.600 it was. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.840 Yeah, when they helped him walk off and then Bland 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.800 still with the rehab group, and you know, Mike got asked, 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.000 I think it was on the walk off, did he 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.560 have a setback? And it's like, no, it's just the progression. 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:00.000 Right. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.320 What has it been two months now since the injury? 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.880 Was in training camp underrun? Yes, yeah, well they hadn't 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.360 played in the game, so it was. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:11.520 Something like that. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.120 No, no, August. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:21.160 Yeah, yeah, I always get the A always. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.920 I didn't get to do anything for three months when 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:24.920 I fractured mine. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:30.600 So stop comparing yourself to athletes, bro, I know. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:30.040 But I did. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:35.480 I didn't do an athletic stuff. Well he's not as 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.720 old as I am, but it's taken about its long. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.280 It what he's got to do is a little different, Yes, 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:48.199 you have. And then the other news from yesterday. Now 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:53.079 we we the Andrew Booth happened earlier, but Jordan Phillips, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.080 the other one that was let go. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.040 I don't know why it took so long for both 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:57.480 of them. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.640 Well they were checking you got past the trade deadline, right, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.560 Probably couldn't or for Jordan Phillips for sure. 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.360 Yeah, and then the other thing. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:07.839 And so that they turned out to be a big 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:08.559 waste of time. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.160 Well they did even solid because. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.720 Today is the day that all players that are released 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.480 are subject to waivers. Yesterday was the last day that 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.880 you can release a veteran player and he can just 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.440 sign with anybody who wants to sign with. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:25.760 He's not subject to waivers. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.680 So so now that's why you saw a lot of 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:33.040 veteran guys that were released after the trade deadline yesterday, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.360 because there's that like a twenty four hour window where 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:42.560 they can be released yesterday, right, and then maybe maybe 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.800 it probably was before three o'clock yesterday, But starting today, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.160 all players that are released, no matter how many years 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.760 of service they have, are subject to the waivers. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.880 Right, because you can't just let somebody go and do 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.280 us solid. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:55.839 For your buddy. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.439 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't. 0:10:58.760 --> 0:10:58.800 No. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.400 Yeah, that's that's why they have it in fantasy football too. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:03.280 I know you're big on. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.920 That, so I guess I should I guess I shouldn't 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.960 say what took him so long because they were dead 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.080 weight to me, both of them. Phips Phillips played the 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.040 first two games. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.760 Well, they were hoping they could get that. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.600 That's why I said. I didn't explains it. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.800 I didn't realize because he only played thirty four snaps, 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.200 got one assisted tackle, and it's like and then he 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.679 went on ir much to his chagrin. And then they 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.440 started him on the practice part of it the last 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.079 two weeks and he didn't get activated, so they knew 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.400 he wasn't they were going to They were going to 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.200 release him Booth after he got benched in the Giants 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.480 game at halftime. I think he played in maybe two 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:55.120 more games, uh maybe special teams in a couple defensive snaps, 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.440 and they weren't going to put him out there. They 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.959 were going to put Josh Butler out there before they 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:02.400 activated him to play. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.040 And by the way, Jordan back on Jordan Phillips, he 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.760 has signed with the Buffalo Bills. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.520 Okay, so that's. 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:10.840 What that's where he came from. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:11.040 Right. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:12.880 He was with them last year, but he was with 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:17.760 the Giants in training camp when the Cowboys traded for him. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.960 So the Cowboys traded twenty twenty sixth, sixth and they 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.680 got a seventh back so. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.400 In the in the twenty sixth draft. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.640 Yeah, okay, And then the Bills also signed defensive tackle 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.080 Quentin Jefferson, who was let go yesterday too. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.400 So yeah, there's a lot of moves by people, but 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:44.839 you got to understand what's going on. So did Philadelphia 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:45.640 pick up anybody? 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:46.559 We got to be aware of. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.280 I didn't see that. Washington didn't. Yeah, I saw. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.280 Yeah. Who did Washington pick up? 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.560 But they got Marshaun Lattimore the cornerback? 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:56.839 Ah? 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.040 Thanks? 0:12:58.720 --> 0:12:59.760 Was he still playing for this? 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:01.360 Yeah? I playing? 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:02.079 Yes? 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.000 Yeah, yeah, no, he I mean I know he was there, Yes, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:06.040 I was. 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.640 Never I never knew he was that good. 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.280 Yeah, all I know was that he was He battles 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.320 a lot, but I didn't know the guy four Pro. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.920 Bowls, uh. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.760 And every time he goes up against Tampa he's having 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.280 to fight with who. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.760 I think it's Evans. I just that's the part I 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:26.839 know about him, And. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:32.719 Then I saw somebody, uh picked up Chardavius White cornerback 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.800 yep from the Rams and he wasn't playing. He'd been 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.880 in active the last four weeks. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.560 So he requested a trade three weeks ago. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.120 Yeah, he went to Baltimore. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.560 Baltimore, they finally nice, finally sent him on. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:48.280 I take that. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.360 So, I don't know what else. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:56.760 I mean. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.840 If the Cowboys were going to make a trade to 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.080 help this season, it would have had to been a 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:05.720 defensive end and not just rent the guy for nine games. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:10.280 Well, and that's the thing. I think that any move 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.520 that they made needed to be with a rec three 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.199 and five record. You just have to look at it objectively. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.040 With a three and five record, any you don't want 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.920 to give up a draft pick whatever on a rental 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.240 player for the second half of this season. It needed 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.400 to be someone who like a Jonathan Mingo, who had 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.200 you have for the next couple of years as well. Right, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.360 And as we talked about yesterday, when you look at 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.680 the inventory of wide receivers on this team going into 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.960 next year, they've got, you know, Brandon Cooks becoming a 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.280 free there's opportunities that are there and the other thing 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.280 is like, for instance, you take a fourth round draft, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:57.320 fourth round wide receiver Everson a rookie, fourth round wide receiver, 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.440 what are the chances How long is it you usually 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.680 take for a player like that to start contributing in 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.800 the NFL A couple of years exactly, And that's what 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.520 they've done with And so now you've got a guy 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:15.360 who in Mingo, who has two years under his belt 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.960 going into next season. So do you expect him? Okay, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.200 Now you've got a guy who's not going to be 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.240 bothered by the transition to the league or anything like that. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.160 He's mature enough in the league where okay, if he's 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.640 got anything, he should be showing it sort of. Whereas 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.880 a fourth round pick next year, you're not counting on 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.320 him to do much of anything except maybe being a 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.120 special teams player, I mean his rookie season. 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.560 Take Jalen Tobert for example. Now, I know it was 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.680 a third round pick, but it took him a couple 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.560 of years, and now you're starting to see some payoff 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.440 for that third round pick. So yeah, it takes some time. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.680 The other thing, I thought Mike McCarthy had a really 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:06.000 good segment at eight fifty of its press conference. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:10.560 Okay, he was after, now they take a commercial break, 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.560 right next segment, Well, we'll be talking about. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:18.320 Actually it was just on the time clock about young quarterbacks, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.800 and basically he was saying, if if if I have 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.040 someone that's a young quarterback, I want him to stay 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.880 in college as long as he can and get as 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.960 many snaps as he can, because when you come in 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.480 the NFL, it's a whole different ballgame. And if you 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.560 can afford to let him sit a year or two, uh, 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.120 you got a chance to develop a guy. But it's 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.080 really tough to come from playing one year or two 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.800 years in college and then come in in the NFL 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:51.840 and think they're immediately going to start. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:53.560 And it's not just that. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.640 You know, sometimes I sit here and I criticize guys 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.800 because of what I see them do versus what I in. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.000 My what I remember I used to do. 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.840 I must admit, as tough as it was my rookie year, 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.040 I was surrounded by a bunch of bad players. I 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.119 mean not bad no, no, no, I mean bad ass players. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:14.640 I meant to say. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.080 I mean, come on, I got Brandy too tall, I 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:23.119 got Harvey right, you know, I mean have players around 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.800 me that really helped pick me up those times that 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:28.320 I was getting toasted that first. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.240 Half of my rookie pretty too. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.160 Right, we never the linebackers and the flex, they were 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.520 never meant to be stars stars, know, they were just 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.240 meant to do their job because back then, that's when 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.680 you just needed a defense that just need to be. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.960 Coordinated, which is what the flex was all about. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.879 So, but when these guys come in, whether it's a 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.160 wide receiver or a defensive back, they really don't have 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.679 that kind of support of a really dynamic team this year, 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.800 and that's something that always should be centered. I know 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.720 from from my point of view, when I started critiquing 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.800 how these guys play, they didn't really have the assistance 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.600 that I had back in nineteen eighty one. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:15.480 And to McCarthy's point on Cooper Rush, here's a guy 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.560 that played fifty games at Central Michigan after a red 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.320 shirt year at Central Michigan. He threw sixteen hundred and 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.840 forty eight passes in his collegiate career for nearly thirteen 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.919 thousand yards. And then he sits and sits and sits 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.400 and goes five and one along the way and now 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.760 here he is, and compare that with Trey Lance, who 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.119 for one season, sixteen game season win in a national 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.960 championship at the FCS level with North Dakota State, had 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.080 three hundred and thirty pass attempts. Wow, And now he 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.360 gets drafted third pick in the draft, and now he's 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.240 sitting and sitting and sitting, but he's not getting reps 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:58.200 and reps and reps. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:00.719 So here we are. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.760 Tony Romo is another example, right, a guy that was 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.480 three year starter at Eastern Illinois and then he sits 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.320 and sits and sits, and if he got thrown in 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.560 his rookie year, he would have been like Trey Lance. 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:18.440 And it was because and he had a lot of. 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.480 Reps in college as opposed to Lance's. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.560 All right, we continue with more mixed shots in just 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:25.000 a moment. 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.479 Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.720 of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel packages 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:39.760 with pregame, sideline access and photo ops with current players, cheerleaders, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.600 and Cowboy legends.
