But it was eight am his time. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.120 Yeah, right, did I wake you up? And I said, 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.920 you missed by thirty seconds because my alarm just went off. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.560 So this was just your own two man show. I 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.560 told him, I audience too. You all we did right 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.120 now should have been when we started the show. You 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.600 need to be here, and he goes, oh, I gotta 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:40.840 wait till the pads come on. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.319 Okay, all right, and the pads will come on on Monday. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.920 I got a ramp up period, of course, by NFL rules, 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.320 according to the CBA, And of course the team arrived 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.080 here in Oxnard on Monday. We had the State of 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.520 the Cowboys press conference yesterday. We've already had breaking news 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.640 here in the first thirty six hours here, and it's 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.880 gonna be fun as we go along here as the 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.280 Cowboys of course, will be here for the next going 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.960 on three weeks, and then the first preseason game back 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.679 home in Jacksonville, then another week here. So all told, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.960 it'll be four weeks here in Oxnard, and goodness, before 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.560 that second preseason game at Seattle, they will be breaking camp. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.880 But wow, it's it's just great to have football back again. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.280 Yes it is, and it's been a while. And unfortunately 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:37.320 these first few practices are basically mini camp practices, so 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:39.679 no contact. 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.960 They might be better than the current mini camp practices 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.200 are though, just because they're not, they've scaled back mini 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:48.880 camp practice. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.280 Well, they probably scale back this because they all want 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:56.240 to get fined again for too much physicality, right, you know, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.600 we don't want the defensive backs trying to break up 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.640 passes or anything forbid. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.880 By the way, you can go online and see the 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.600 restrictions that are in the CBA. It's there very specific 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.519 as to what all the teams can do during this 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.000 first four day period. Then there's a mandatory day off 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.320 of the players, which will be on the fifth day, 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.280 which in the Cowboys case will be Sunday, and then 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.160 they'll put the pads on on Monday. Yeah. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.360 Absolutely, So we'll go through this basically. What we'll be 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.880 able to find out here in a couple hours is 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.560 just sort of how they're lining up different guys on 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:37.680 the different units. Mike McCarthy already said that they would 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.440 start the offensive line like they left off in the 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.360 mini camp, so that kind of gave us a clue 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.640 of what they're going to do. And I guess that 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.400 suggests that Tyron Smith will be at left tackle and 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.880 Tyler Smith will be at left guard, and then we'll 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.040 go from there until we get to right guard, where 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.160 Zach Martin, unless he showed up right and early this morning, 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.320 was not on the charter flight. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.839 And that's one of two major stories that we have here, 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.880 and we'll get to Terrance Steele as well. The other 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.760 thing yesterday the Cowboys place the second round draft pick, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.760 the tight end Luke schoon Maker on n f I. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:21.320 He had a previously existing planter fascia issue his foot 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.039 that he's been dealing with throughout the off season. And 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.600 then Jordan Lewis, the veteran cornerback coming off the Liz 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.680 Frank fracture last season, as expected, starts training camp on pup. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.000 And then and and that was it. You know, there 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.360 was Terrance Steele is active, and he's active. I don't 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.800 know ready he is, I was told not as ready 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.680 as maybe you want him to. But the deal is, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.320 when you put a guy on pup, he can't do 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.920 anything with the team. He's got to be away and 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.840 the only and the only person he can work with 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.960 is the trainer or strength coaches. Can't even interact with 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.320 his position coach. So they I felt like he was 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:05.880 far enough along that they weren't worried about a relapse 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.880 or anything. But maybe not ready to start. Although what 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.359 they do early, he might be able to do some 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:16.320 of that, but they felt like by time a week 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.240 or so passes that he should be good to go, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.800 but they're gonna ease him in, right, same thing with 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.240 Tony Pollard, Gonna ease him in. You're not trying to 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.279 win the super Bowl week one of training camp. You 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.480 need these guys ready to start the season. So they 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.359 feel pretty good about both guys being ready to start 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.159 the season, but just maybe not do everything the start 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:38.960 of training camp. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.880 All right, So I mentioned the two major stories that 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.359 became official yesterday, although it leaked out last week about 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:52.440 Zach Martin and then Trayvon Diggs signed to a long 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.200 term contract that was huge for the Cowboys. We'll get 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.640 to Zach in just a second, but let's start with 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:02.760 Trayvon Diggs. Here a five year contracts extension ninety seven 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.360 million dollars that can get up to one hundred million, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.440 twenty one point twenty five million dollars signing bonus. It 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.200 was huge to get Draymond Diggs signed before camp started. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.599 And even more important to him forty two point three 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.960 million guarantee you And that's what we always look at right. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.480 So you know, we got to see with the incentives, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.600 it can get just a little bit more than one 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.880 hundred million, but we got to see how it's uh, 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.279 you know, how it's mapped out. So but the big 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.200 thing is forty two point three million. I would imagine 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:43.160 with half of that guarantee a signing bonus that you know, 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.680 it could be three years something and then there's those 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.599 big base salaries at the end. So we'll see. But 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.920 by time those base salaries would hit, the salary caps 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.760 going up, and it's going up huge next year. It 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.840 may go up twenty five thirty million next year when 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:03.320 the TV new TV contract hits in. So that's how 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:08.160 they're structuring contracts going forward. But that's huge to get 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:13.000 him done because you can only next year franchise one guy, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.360 and you got to think about you you're gonna have 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.680 Terrence Steele unless they can get him signed to a 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:25.360 long term deal. Look at his position and what exactlyise 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.080 and I saw online somewhere where they estimate market value, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.760 and that someone estimated his market value at thirteen million 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.160 dollars a year, and it's like, well, if it's that much, 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.640 then Matt will let's go better get ready because they're 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:43.120 probably not gonna pay both starting offensive tackles that kind 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.640 of money. So they would like to sign him to 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.960 a long term deal. They wanted to sign Tony Pollard 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.760 to a long term deal. My information was they were 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.520 working on a three year deal. They couldn't come to 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.320 an agreement on a total. So he's gonna play ten 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080 million do on the franchise tag. But he'll be a 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.720 free agent too next year, so you got to factor 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.480 that in. Tyler Biattish is on the final year of 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.960 his contract, so they've got some contract stuff to still 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:17.280 work on. Uh ceedee. Lamb would be going into his 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.400 fifth year option that they picked up at seventeen million. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.120 They would like to sign him to a long term deal. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:30.680 And then Dak Prescott's gonna come along too, So yeah, yeah, 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.720 he's this is his third year already, right. Uh So, yeah, 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.120 they've got some things that they got to take care of. 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.600 They're not panicking. And I saw somebody already pointing out, well, 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.760 don't worry about the future, spend your money now. Well, okay, 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.880 that's fine, but there is a salary cap this year too. 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.440 And I think it's big from the Cowboys perspective, and 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:57.360 I like from Trayvon's perspective too, that he decided to 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.600 take this deal. I think I read where it makes 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.440 it his average per season, which is a little shade 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.760 over nineteen million a season. With the extension, it would 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.720 make him the fifth highest paid cornerback in the league. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.679 You know, his ego could have got the best of him. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.360 I want to be paid for the best, and he 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.080 understands the situation that he has here. I think he 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:26.960 understands and he understands the the market. He understands the 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.080 you know with the Cowboys, his marketability himself, and the 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.240 money that he can make aside from his contract. He's 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.560 in a very good position here, and so I just 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.120 I think it's a very mature way to approach his 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:44.679 future and you know, set his family up for generations. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.400 So you said it averaged nineteen something a shade last 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.040 nineteen Okay, so we looked up, well. 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.280 Five years, ninety seven million. I guess it's the it's 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.599 the extension part of that, not his current contract. It 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.079 factored into that, right would be what nineteen point. 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.120 Five because he's I think he's at four point three 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.959 base salary right this year so we looked up what 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.200 the franchise tag would be this year for a cornerback 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:13.040 and it was eighteen point one million. So if he's 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.920 averaging nineteen, they're looking at well, if he was franchised 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.520 this year and then next year, you got to do 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.000 twenty percent more, so that would be around twenty one 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.040 to twenty two million. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.080 You know, if both sides want to get a deal done, 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.520 it's pretty easy to figure out what the money will be. Yeah, 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.880 space off, you know, Okay, well here's the franchise tag 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.320 number now and what it would be perhaps this year, 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.160 and you kind of work off of that and you 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.960 can figure out where it needs to be. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.280 And that's why when I see this, well just just 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.560 sign these guys. Well it's got to be you know, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.800 good for both sides. Right, And they wanted to say 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.080 everybody's like, well the Cowboys didn't want to pay a 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.160 running back. Well they did, but they wanted to pay 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:53.120 them within reason. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.679 And now look around the league. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.360 Yeah, and see what's happening to the running backs. Right, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.880 So it's not like they devalued. They were trying to 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:05.679 make an investment going forward. And from Tony Pollard's standpoint, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.199 you know, these guys that want to bet on themselves 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.679 and play on a one year deal, and you take 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.920 a chance on injury, and then you go into free 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.680 agency with an injury, right, and then how do you 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.880 market yourself? The other thing is is he's got to 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.120 look at the market value for running backs going forward. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.440 He's going to be twenty seven next year. Now, is 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.200 somebody going to give him more than a two or 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.720 three year deal going forward for a running back? No, 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.000 because twenty eight years old is usually the line of 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:40.439 demarcation between being very productive and starting to regress. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.800 Now, five years in the league and now they wouldn't 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.400 have the same number of carries that Zeke had rightly 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.760 after his first five years in the league. But he's 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.520 getting into that range there where, Okay, he you know, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:59.280 the average career span for a starting running back, especially 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.320 in the NFL, right, you know, got to be south 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:03.240 of four years. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.560 Yeah, absolutely. And then the other thing you've got to 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.560 also factor in and just think of what nearly happened 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.640 to Dak Prescott playing on the franchise tag. He has 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:19.400 that gruesome injury. If it was worse, the Cowboys would like, okay, fine, 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.720 you know, but we'll let you go into free agency 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.440 and see what somebody wants to sign you, not knowing 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.920 that when free agency begins, you can't walk into anybody's 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:35.280 facility without some sort of artificial assistance, right, So that 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.880 hurts your market value. So yeah, you got to be 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.560 careful saying yeah, I'm gonna play on this franchise tag. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.480 Okay, So that brings us to Zach Martin and ye, 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.040 so what do you think is going on here with 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:47.679 Zach Martin? 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:52.959 Well, he wants he wants an extension. Basically, he wants 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.440 more money. Right now. When he signed that contract, that 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.760 was a pretty darn good contract, it was what six years, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:06.560 eighty four million dollars, and so as you move along, 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:13.600 contracts increase, right. But I saw a deal where and 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.800 I'm not sure what it meant, but it said his 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:22.680 contract value. It didn't say how they valued it, but 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.840 it was the second highest next to Lindstrom's that was 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.320 one hundred and two million that he just signed, right, 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.880 So I don't. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:36.360 Of course, as far as interior offensive yeah, or guards. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.640 Guards, that's what I meant. Yeah, And so now it 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.360 reminds me of the story I've told you before about 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:48.720 Greg Ellis. He signed a long term deal like six 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.000 seven million, and then a year or two later, the 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:56.640 market for defensive ends went way up, and he kind 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.600 of was butt hurt because he felt like he was underpaid. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:04.160 And uh, we were at a lunch bill and you know, 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:08.480 Pat Summer all well, God rest his soul, and we 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.959 were He was wanting to know why why is Greg 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.559 ellis upset? And I was explaining to him that when 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.559 he signed his contract, he signed too long and then 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.120 the market value for defensive ends went up, but he 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.160 still had two years left on his old contract. And 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.960 I said something like I said, well, I said, unfortunately 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.520 for Greg, he came along too soon. And some are 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.600 all in his deep voice goes, we all came along 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:37.280 too soon. So that's kind of what's happening with Zach 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:41.080 Martin right now. And you know, he's what thirty thirty 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.480 two now, I believe going on thirty three. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.520 He will be thirty three November twentieth. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:51.200 And by the way, Tyron Smith will be thirty three Undercember, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:52.600 so he's the oldest. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:57.040 He's older, Yeah, Tyron Smith, even though Tyron came into 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.720 the league three years before Zach Martin and did of course, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.120 Tyron came in as the ninth overall pick in twenty 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.120 eleven after just three years at USC and Zach Martin 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.400 was already what a twenty four year old out of 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.800 Notre Dame when he was the sixteenth pick in the 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.480 draft in twenty fourth So I think, you know, I 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.440 think I think Zach looks at what's happened with Tyron. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:18.720 Now. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.880 The difference here, obviously, over the last three years, Tyron 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.960 has had a difficult time to staying on the field, 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:29.600 and Zach, another credit to his future Hall of Fame status, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.800 is he very, very very rarely misses games. But I mean, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.520 you look, you look just across the room, the offensive 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.760 line room, and you see what's happened with Tyron's contract. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.560 And you know, Zach, if he has an injury plagued 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.120 year or something like that, he could be in the 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:47.880 same boat here in a couple of years when his 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.360 contract or next year, when he's going into. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.000 Last year, next year, the last one. And I'm sure 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:57.760 that's what he's looking at. And you know, this didn't 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.280 just happen. They talked him a couple of weeks ago 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:06.160 about trying to work out an extension. And now I'm 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.960 thinking back to the OTAs in mini camp when he 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.760 was just basically rehabbing, he said a little soft tissue 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.640 something maybe not right. He might have been making the 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.080 first volley at a renegotiation there in the off season. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.520 And really for this first week, he's not going to 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.280 miss anything except for money. Yeah. Well, and from what 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:34.640 I keep reading, for a veteran under contract, fifty dollars 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.840 a day and it's not supposed to be waived either. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.240 Before you could say, oh that's okay, well, it's I 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.600 think in the CBA that you've got to pay that. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:51.120 So now you can negotiate that into the extensions obviously, right, Yeah, 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:56.000 but otherwise it's a fine, right, So but we'll see 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.520 where that goes. I think they'll figure that out. I 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.520 don't see him missing any game time, and yeah, gosh, 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.120 he's so good he can probably miss alli training camp 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.520 and still be Zach Martin as long as you stay healthy, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:09.640 right right. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.359 Producer Supreme Chris Beam over there, This is of course 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:20.240 our first broadcast from here at Oxnard, and so the 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.399 same format goes where we're about time to take this 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.880 first break and Miller Lite is the sponsor. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.960 Hey, Mickey, you are have grown so much in your 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.520 stature that Miller Lte wants to sponsor mix. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.399 Shots because it's the only bear of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.200 And from now on it'll be Miller time.

I love training camp. 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.040 My first was nineteen seventy seven. I feel like I 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.199 did on the first day of school. Every year, the 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.119 start of Texans camp means we're one step closer to 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:42.240 the start of the season. We can say that about 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:48.160 Cowboys camp too, And Jerry was talking about it at 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:49.960 the press conference. In fact, he was the last question 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.800 basically of the press conference yesterday. He was talking about 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:58.359 the drive in every year and sentimentally gets and it 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.040 gets to his room here and then he you know, 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.359 settles into his room, then he slips out the back 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.280 door and sleeps at the billboard. 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:13.280 Yeah, that was that was great. Well, So Jerry's first 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:14.200 training camp. 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.560 Was eighty nine, ye in the ten thousand Oaks and 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:18.840 the next year they went to. 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.320 Austin eighty nine, makes this about thirty five. 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.800 It's thirty four years. And this is the seventeenth year 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.600 now that the team has trained in uh Oxnard. And 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.920 of course there were a few years in there that 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:34.400 they split training camp right between San Antonio and Oxnard 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:39.560 and had had the one year COVID year obviously was 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:44.640 in Frisco. But basically the Oxnard journey began I think 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:45.879 twenty two years ago. 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.160 So when does when was your first. 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:53.440 My first training camp was nineteen eighty two this year, 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.560
