Speaker 1: to say it's gonna heat up to about seventy I

00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: can't believe you said that, man, while we all here

Speaker 1: sweating crazy out here. Man, this is ridiculous. Yeah, let

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I'm jealous. Man. For some reason,

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: we decided to go to the zoo this weekend. Ed

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: eleven am in the morning on Sunday, and goodness Grace,

Speaker 1: out that that that that's not the right move. And

24
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: so it's it is hot. It ll out here. There's

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: barely any shade out there. Bro the a the air

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: wasn't moving. It was sticky, and the air was stick bro.

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I was like, man, this ain't right. My little daughter

Speaker 1: was drinking all the water, killing the drink water like that.

29

Speaker 1: He would just killing water. I'm like, yeah's time to go.

Speaker 1: They had a little mistress, the little air mistress on Bro.

31
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: The water that was coming out of that was hot.

32
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: All the animals were sleeping. It was in the shade. Man,

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: it was too but even the animals tapped out. Even

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: the animals tapped out. October. Okay, there there's your there's

00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: zoo in October. That's a good time to go. Weather's nice,

00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: animals around and it's enjoyable for you. And you can

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: go in the morning time. Uh well, especially while you know,

39
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: because you're your daughter's out in school yet well, everybody

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: else is in school, so October nice time, So go

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: ahead and plant it around there. So that says your

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: pro tip. There's your proparenting tip right there. From should

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I should I should have asked you before I went,

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: I should have asked you. Mike McCarthy just spoke, and

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: those watching us on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, you saw it.

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: Malik Hooker. That's a guy that you all have spoken about.

47
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: You two guys are for safety. So Malik Hooker is

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: working out right now, according to Mike McCarthy, and he

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: says no roster move has been made yet, so they

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: haven't signed him, but they are. They're interested, and look,

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I anticipate Hooker being, you know, a member of this

52
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: team now. He's a former first round pick, had a

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: couple of nice years with the Cults, but injuries have

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: derailed his career. They want as much competition as they

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: can get back there to say spot, there no guaranteed

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: spots right now. I think Donovan Wilson's obviously a guy

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy likes. You spoke about him very favorably

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: in the press conference. But Malie Cooker looks like he's

59
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: going to get an opportunity to show the Cowboys what

60
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: he can do. Church your thoughts, well, look, I think

61
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: it would be a good move. I mean, as far

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: as competition is concerned, it would bring another guy in

63
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: there who's technically a whole safety. He doesn't really do

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot in the BOSS, but he's a whole safety,

65
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: something that we haven't had here with the Cowboys in

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: a long time. So it brings competition for Kaz back there.

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: And this is a guy he's been in the league.

68
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: He's a veteran in the league, so he knows the

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: ins and houts of playing the position, and when healthy,

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: he's a boiler. I mean, we've seen it in his

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: rookie year. He had three interceptions right off the bat

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: when he was healthy. But that's that's the question with him.

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Like you said earlier when you were talking, he's gone

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: through a couple of injuries that have derailed his career

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: so far, so bringing him in would be another kind

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: of injury prone guy. We already had Kaz coming off

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: in Achilles. We got Kat O'Neill coming off in Achilles,

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: so we're already kind of fielding a battered and bruised

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: defense right now. But I guess as far as competition

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: is concerned, I wouldn't mind seeing him come in there

81
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: and duke it out with Kaz for that whole safety responsibility.

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: But like I said, I mean, this is another injured

83
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: gay we're technically bringing on world we're thinking about bringing on.

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: So I'm not so sure about it. But as far

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: as competition is concerned, it should be a good one. Yeah. Look,

86
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: I feel the same church churches knew it. You know,

87
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: one thing about the Cowboys, We're gonna bring in some

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: injured guys, all right, we're gonna draft them, We're gonna

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: bring him in the free agency, and then we're gonna

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: try to get him fixed up with my man Brett Brown,

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see how it turns out. Same thing

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: going with Jaymon Smith and Sean Lee. So I mean,

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you listen to what guys were saying

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: about how Britt Brown was able to get back back

95
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: and get jard Win back, then I have some confidence

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: in them being able to do the same thing with

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Hooker once he gets his hands on. And as far

98
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: as competition, this is amazing. I mean, competition brings the

99
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: best out of everyone, and it also stops some of

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: those players that are already here from getting complacent. Man,

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: it pushes them to be the best them that they

102
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: can be throughout this training camp to try to earn

103
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: that position. So to me, it's great. I think this

104
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: is a great start to us, you know, starting that

105
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: top ten defense by forcing the competition on these guys

106
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: and letting not letting anybody get too comfortable. So I

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: love it. I can I ask you'll both a question.

108
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: Do y'all think we have room enough to keep both

109
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: as like a death thing or it has to be

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: one or the other as far as Kazy and Hooker's

111
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: concerns the hands, that's if so listen, I think that's tough.

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Even though that even though you added, you know, the

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: seventeenth game, I still think that's tough. I think you

114
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: need to carve out a certain position for whoever earns

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: that spot and let them know that they earned it

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: and it's theirs to move throughout the season. So you

117
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: don't have that pressure on that guy thinking he's gonna

118
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: get a spot taken. He's not able to play free,

119
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: free and loose, so I think they let him battle

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: it out, figure out who's the best of that position,

121
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: and and and let them go throughout the season as

122
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: a starter at that and let the other guy walk.

123
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to do it, and

124
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: that's the best way to show that. You know, when

125
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: when you fight to compete for a spot and you

126
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: earn it, that the Cowboys going to reward you. I

127
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: agree with everything you said. You've got preseason games, we've

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: got practices, so let's see what happens. The pads come

129
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: on tomorrow and it's time. It's showtime. It is showtime.

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: I like the fact that there are no sacred cows

131
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: around here. Want a job, go out here and perform

132
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: j Ron curse. If you're j Ron curse, you gotta

133
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: sit up here and saying, Okay, they're bringing out somebody

134
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: else here from my spot, so I need to sit

135
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: out here and show what I can do. Um this

136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: defense and actually this football team, in my opinion, the

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: last five six years and had too many guys who

138
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: just well, I've got a spot and there's no competition.

139
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry, there's no there's some big championship

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: banners being raised around here. People need to go out

141
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: and earn their positions, and I think this has been

142
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: a positive move that Mike McCarthy has made as they've

143
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: gone into this this year, especially with the defense as

144
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: poorly as it performed last year, people need to show

145
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: that they can do something here. Are you giving it

146
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy? Are you given that to day? Huen?

147
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: I think here we go, there we both. I think

148
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: that you know, look, okay, yes, I've I've been tough

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: on McCarthy, just just a little bit. That was my

150
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: first question to Jerry Joe Sunday night and our one

151
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: on one interview on on NBC five. I went, I

152
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: went after McCarthy, but it's something that he's talked about.

153
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: And obviously Dan Quinn having spent so much time with

154
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and his you know, his whole thing every day.

155
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: This is good And I'm sorry. Is there anybody on

156
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: this defense that we should say, hey, they're a sacred

157
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: cow and they're just fine. I don't think we can

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: really truly say that. So you're six and ten for

159
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: a reason, and so you make sure you don't go

160
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: six eleven. You need to make sure that guys are

161
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: out here knowing that they've got jobs to play for it.

162
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: I think they've set themselves up in a very good

163
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: way on all three levels of this defense where there

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: is competition. You've got guys who've got to play for

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: contracts here. If people are thirsty, you got a bunch

166
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: of thirty and hungry dogs out here. Then I think

167
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: they have an opportunity to be a playoff team. I

168
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: think they must be a playoff team, uh, for for

169
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy to return next year. In my opinion, yeah,

170
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Or what they did with that,

171
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: there's all three levels. I mean, look what they did

172
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: with the interior defensive line. They brought those rookies in

173
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: and they shipped Antwoine Woods out. And then at the

174
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: second level at the linebacker position, you got the first

175
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: round pick in Parsons. You also brought in Cox. And

176
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: in the secondary you got you know, Kelvin Joseph over there,

177
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: you got Anthony Brown, you got Jordan Lewis, I mean,

178
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs out there. I mean it's it's it's loaded

179
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: in a sense where they're gonna have to duke it

180
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: out to get those starting jobs. I mean, we'll see

181
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: if those guys can when they when they do get

182
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: the starting job, if they're able to perform as well,

183
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: but right now, the depth they have there for this competition,

184
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: I think you guys are saying that it's going to

185
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: bring the best out of everybody out there, and hopefully

186
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: we feel deep best defense we can going into the season, because,

187
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: like I said, if we're just the middle of the pack,

188
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: if everybody stays healthy and we're just the middle of

189
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: the pack defense, I think we can do big things

190
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: here in Dallas. Listen, listen, you know I gotta give

191
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: my guy shout out anytime I can. All right, there

192
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: is one defensive player that is a quote unquote sacred cow. Nui.

193
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Would you like to get who that is? Oh? My

194
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: good special, my special team Ace. Nobody can take his spot.

195
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: His spot is guaranteed. He's gonna be out there being

196
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: then envy well hopefully being the MVP of the defense,

197
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: but making some plays out there to change the game.

198
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: So you know we got one guy, all right, you're

199
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: talking about? Good with you? Dang right. I just wanted

200
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: y'all to say his name, all right, say he is

201
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the guy? All right, He's a sacred cow. His spot

202
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: is locked that he don't have to do anything to

203
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: make the squad. He is ready to go and We

204
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: watch that on film all last season, and I think

205
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna be better this season. Okay, I'll give you

206

00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: are watching and listening how different it is from the

Speaker 1: are you you're gonna give it to me Church, Let

263
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: me tell you the boy. The boys are separated from

264
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: the men when the past come on. All that talk

265
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: that you did. You see guys out there winning the

266
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: weight room Olympics and lifting and doing all this stuff,

267
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: all that comes to fruition. Now when the pass come on,

268
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna really get to see if you have it

269
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: in you to make those hits and make those same taples,

270
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: take those same same angles that you had when you

271
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: didn't have pads on, knowing that it's possible that you

272
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: might get ran over, and you got to explode from

273
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: those hips to make that tapple. It's a totally different thing.

274
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: When you rushed against Tyrant Smith with pads on, It's

275
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a totally different thing. Everything's different, everything's more intense,

276
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: And we're gonna learn a lot about these players with

277
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: these ads on. And I just can't wait to hear

278
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: aybody from Newity. Man, this is this is gonna be exciting. Yeah,

279
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: I think b Back, you hit it right on the

280
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: head when it when it comes to putting the pads on,

281
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's definitely a different a different vibe out there.

282
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, and you got guys when you're in like

283
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: you said, knew the underwear Olympics. You got you know,

284
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: Zeke coming through the hole, and you got this guy

285
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: feeling it when he has on shorts and everything, and

286
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: just to him, but on he's going in there head strong.

287
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: He's about to blow Zeke up. I'll go I would

288
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: have let him up. But when we get the pads

289
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: going on and Zeke gets that forward lead rolling, is

290
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: he going to fill that hole with the same ferocity

291
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: that he had when they were just in short. So

292
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: that that that part of the game is definitely a

293
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: big difference. But but that first day when you get

294
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: those pads on, I mean, it seems like no matter

295
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: if you're you're a rookie or if you're in your eighth, ninth,

296
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: or tenth year, I mean you're you're that first day's

297
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: kind of always that excitement. It's that all man, we

298
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: got pads on, we get to pop a little bit.

299
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get out there. But once you're

300
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: in your veteran years, it's that second third and fourth

301
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: padded practice in the row that you're like, man, that

302
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: take these pads up off me. But that first day

303
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: you're all, he's gonna be excited about it, and you

304
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: get your little inside run, you get to pop a

305
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: little bit here and there. But I will say there's

306
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: always that one guy for each team, that one guy

307
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: that's just that's just a tone setter, that's just like, man, look,

308
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be brother in law and today we're

309
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: just gonna be tagging off when we get in the hole.

310
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: But there's always that one gay that like just goes od,

311
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: that just just treats every practice like it's a game scenario.

312
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: And for Matt when when I was there, d Mac,

313
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the same for you,

314
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: but it was de Marco Murray like no matter what,

315
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: no matter what was going on, we could be half

316
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: walked through with pads on. This guy's lowering his shoulder

317
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: and lower in the head trying to run through people.

318
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: So that there's always that one tone setter for each

319
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: team that just he just don't matter what he's going

320
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: o d with the pads on. But old like I,

321
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: like Danny said, can't wait to get it cracking. See,

322
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: I promise, I promise. Right when you finished, I was

323
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: about to say, I remember when y'all used to be

324
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: tearing the marco coming through the hole. I'm talking about

325
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: lifting him, about lifting him up his feet and all that.

326
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear nothing about him being

327
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: the tone setter. Y'all was out there and they embarrassed

328
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: that man. So then he started dropping his should on

329
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: everybody that he could, after y'all knocked him on his

330
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: ass a couple of times. So now it's it's always

331
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: some guys, all right in churches, churches. One of those

332
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: guys who knew he was he was a sacred cow,

333
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: all right. So after here we go, after the first

334
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: and second padd in practice, he was like, look already,

335
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: got my spot. I'm good, Get these pads off of me.

336
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: The difference between him and the guys that are out

337
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: there now is they spotted on the line. So they

338
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: need to take take advantage of every opportunity that they

339
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: can to show that they're gonna get out there and

340
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: strike somebody, because it could be they lasting. They might

341
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: not be on the roster room. They don't. Zach Martin

342
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: as well, he was another dude that just was od

343
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: when it came to the pads, you would pull it.

344
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: He would be pulling. Guards were like, all right, we're

345
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: just gonna we're gonna get this little thud up here

346
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: so I can set the edge. Man. There's just number

347
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: of times he just ran through me like it was

348
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: just a train, Like I was just a hay bill

349
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: on a train track or something like. That's another guy

350
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: that od when it came to pass. Man. All right,

351
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: So so now I want the truth that this is

352
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: why people tune into the play as lines right here

353
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Tell me, each of you

354
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: in Church, you go first. Who was somebody who looked

355
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: good in the underwear Olympics, But when the pass came on,

356
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: they worked that guy. They've worked that guy. You're gonna

357
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: put me all blow both of you. You're tight. You're

358
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: both tight. Now I want names. I want names. Go ahead, Church,

359
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm gonna go ahead, but say this because

360
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: I think y'all would agree with me for the most part.

361
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: But I think the dude that was like, man, who

362
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: is like this dude came out? Man? Who is this

363
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: guy running a rock crazy? He's cutting on the dimes.

364
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: Who is this guy? And I would have to say

365
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: it would be Joseph Randall. He was a running back

366
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: for us, you know, the guy. He was another guy

367
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: he like when when the when the pads were off

368
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: and were just in shorts, he was routing people up,

369
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: cutting people this way and that way. But when the

370
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: pass came, oh, it was just it was just a

371
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: little bit of just a drop off. Not mador but

372
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: just a little bit of a d But since you

373
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: put me on a spot, that's that's who I chose

374
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: as my as my situation. Then running back out of

375
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, the guy who said when DeMarco Murray left it,

376
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: he left a lot of meat on the bone. That yeah,

377
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: he was talking a lot. He was talking about DeMarco

378
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. So

379
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: and when he got his opportunity to beat the number

380
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: one guy, it did didn't last very well. And now

381
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: and they gave and they gave him a plenty of shots,

382
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: all right, he gave plenty of shots. My listen, my

383
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: guys gonna be fourth round pick coming out of I

384
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: forgot what school it was like Independent university or something

385
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: like that. My man, No, not do not listen, not

386
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: because he wouldn't. Yeah, it was a part of your fraternity, wasn't.

387
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: He knew it. Yeah, but but listen, let me do this.

388
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: Not from the standpoint of like he was scared to

389
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: get out there and make the play. It just didn't

390
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: translate to him actually making as many plays. And it

391
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: looked like he would when we were in shorts and shirts,

392
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: like he was out there looking like a straight monster, fast,

393
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: can jump, he was quick, taking the right angles and

394
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: all that when we were in just passing shorts, and

395
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: then you see it when you get out there on

396
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: the field. It was just a little bit different. Sometimes

397
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: it didn't like you have enough weight behind him to

398
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: make some of those tackles, and you know, he kind

399
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: of floated around a little bit. But that's still my guy.

400
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: But my honest opinion is that's that's how I remember.

401
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: That's all right, that's that's true. That's a true assessment

402
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: right there. I definitely give you that. It didn't help

403
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: that he had the number twenty runs at twenty seventy

404
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: had ye did he had the unlucky twenty something. Yeah,

405
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: don't don't help that at the situation at all. Know

406
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: your turn well, I mean, I can't assess it the

407
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: way you guys do because you're out there. I'm just

408
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: you guys, you know, so, so I'm not I'm not

409
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: out there in a practice, you know, getting routed up anything.

410
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: So you guys are are out there doing it and

411
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: seeing it. So that's why my opinion on this really

412
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: done cow because I don't know, I don't know. Check

413
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: him out Church, That's why I check out winning for

414
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: a reason. Man, knew it. You out there giving us

415
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: all the updates to a note pads on right now,

416
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: you're going to give us the updates to the guys

417
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: and how they look different when the parents come on. No, no, no,

418
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that you've been watching You've

419
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: been covering football for too long to du ducking dogs

420
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: that question, because I know you sitting out with your buddies.

421
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: You you've had these conversations like, man, I showed nothing,

422
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: that guy was gonna be something else, too bad, because okay,

423
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you a guy. I'll give you a guy.

424
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: And this was before your time. Danny Amndola, Danny, Danny

425
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: Amondola came out of Texas Tech and he was just

426
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: lighting it up. And then they had him on hard

427
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: knocks and I mean the guy caught everything first preseason

428
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: game in San Diego, guys fumbling, can't catch anything, had

429
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: at that had a bad camp, and he's what I

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: call an all Oxnard guy, you know, and they should

431
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: get in Santa Joe called the all Alamodome guys. Where

432
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: these guys ended up looking good, but when it came

433
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: time the preseason games, they couldn't do anything. And I'm

434
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: honestly very surprised that Danny and Danny Amondola had the

435
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: career he did winning the Super Bowls he did because

436
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: when he was here with the Cowboys, this was a

437
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: guy who looked good in the underwear Olympics, but when

438
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: the lights came on, he was just underwhelming all the way. Listen, true,

439
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: you remember Teddy Williams. He was the same win oh yeah,

440
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: from San Antonio, and Teddy was different. Though Teddy had

441
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: to play, he had to play. He had to play football,

442
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: I think since high school or something. He was really fast.

443
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Dave camp on him, took a chance on him, Danny

444
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: and Mendola. Actually I got to give him some love

445
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: because he is a Houston, Texas product. His dad coached

446
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: me in high school, and he actually did end up

447
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: having a good career. But I know what you're saying

448
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys. He staying with the Cowboys and did

449
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: not look like it said that he had with the Patriots. No,

450
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: not at all, not even if with the Rams, he

451
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: had a better step with the Ramps. So he went

452
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys of the Eagles. Finally got his legs

453
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: underneath them with the Rams, and then the course went

454
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: to the Patriots and helped help when some Super Bowls.

455
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: And then last year he was up there and done

456
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: Detroit and that failed Matt patricia effort that they had

457
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: up there. But that was one of the guys that

458
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: I clearly remembers that he could not get it done.

459
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: And he said, we used to. We had the US

460
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: have the media joke all the time by the All

461
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: Oxnard team and the all All Alamo Don team where

462
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: they looked good there. You put them out there in

463
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: the preseason games when it mattered, and these guys could

464
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: not get a lot of guys couldn't get it, especially

465
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: the kickers, and punished. That was the other thing too.

466
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of specialists through the years look

467
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: good out here. Then when it came, you know, when

468
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: the lights came very swift to you said can you

469
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: do it? When the band is playing? Because Barry's like,

470
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: hey man, these guys look good right here, we're practicing

471
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: the Norman. There's nobody around. All of a sudden we

472
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: fill up the seats and the band is playing, and

473
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: these guys can't get it done. So tomorrow, for me,

474
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: when the Pats come on, I'm gonna be looking at

475
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: the D line. I want to see what Carlos Watkins

476
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: and what Nevin Gallimar are gonna be able to do

477
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: because we could talk all day long about this defense

478
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: being top ten. If they can't stop the run, there's

479
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: a problem. And for me, I'm gonna be looking at that.

480
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: What's Terrell Basham gonna do. I already see some really

481
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: nice things from Randy Gregory, but I need to look

482
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: and see the interior. What are these guys gonna do there?

483
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Because they have got to stop the run to be good.

484
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: You start to look at the kind of running backs

485
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: and teams they play this year. For me, right out

486
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: the gate, you start with Leonard Frenette and Tampa Bay.

487
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: If Leonard Frenette ends up, you know, take care of

488
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: his COVID thing. You've got to You've got to establish

489
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: yourself a lot better than being a thirty first run

490
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: defense in the National Football League. So that's what I

491
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: want to see. Ezekiel Elliott does look good. This offensive

492
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: line seems like it's healthy. So it's an excellent opportunity

493
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: to see exactly what this D line can do when

494
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: these pads start popping to brow and be looking forward

495
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: to seeing it. And in all reality, you know, that's

496
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get your most bang for your buckers

497
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: watching that D line offensive line go at it once

498
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: the pads gets on because you know, as a secondary player,

499
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: even in the second in the linebacking corps, once that

500
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: running back breaks through for the first site, you know,

501
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: maybe eight yards if you're not there, you're kind of

502
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: just tagging him off. Whereas that offense and that defensive

503
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: line they're banging. They're really banging like it's a game.

504
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: They got their one on ones going on, you got

505
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: inside runs. So it'll be a good opportunity to gauge

506
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: the level of town we have on that defensive line

507
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: versus that great offensive line that we have. Yeah, you

508
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm looking forward to the most seeing the

509
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: health of the offensive line. I need to see those

510
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: two tackles be able to get out there, go against

511
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, go against taking loans against Nevil got him

512
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: or whoever they're going to get and see if they're

513
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: able to hold up. Because remember LC didn't even do

514
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: training camp last year, so I need to see him

515
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: be able to get out there. And the same thing

516
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: with Tyren Smith. You say it looks like the old

517
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: twenty eleven Tyren Smith. You ain't see that. I want

518
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: to hear. No, I want to hear. I want to

519
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: see the twenty eleven Tyren Smith with pads on him,

520
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: getting them paused on you, not letting you go nowhere.

521
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: I want to see that guy. So NEI, Y'a'll be

522
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: looking forward to you telling me how he looks tomorrow.

523
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: So Tank has been working out on the side, so

524
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate Tank being involved at all tomorrow when

525
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: the pads hit, and I'm gonna be also very interested

526
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: he bring that up, and we'll ask McCarthy tomorrow and

527
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: his presence, how much work are you going to give

528
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: guys like Collins and Smith because they had they've limited

529
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: ELC a little bit out here and put a lot

530
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: of guys in working that right tackle spot. But I

531
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: sat down with him one on one, and he told

532
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: me he feels good, he's excited, he feels like he

533
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: he felt guilty last year letting the team down, you know,

534
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: by not playing l season. Great shapes out here doing

535
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: interviews with a shirt off like Tyrant. I mean, these guys,

536
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: these guys don't look like you're They don't look like

537
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: the old nineteen nineties offensive lineman and the Cowboys had

538
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: one Super Bowls when these guys are cut. So I

539
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be eager to see exactly how much work

540
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: they give some of these guys who are coming back

541
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: off injuries, and if they limit them at all. But

542
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: I just can't tell you how excited I am to

543
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: see the offensive and deep and lines be able to

544
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: hit each other. I think this is where football is won,

545
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: and it's where the Cowboys, in my opinion, can have

546
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: their biggest improvement as a team. If they could be

547
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: better on both sides of these lines, then they can

548
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: erase six and ten pretty quick. But if they have injuries,

549
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: if they can't get better and they're not able to

550
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: do what they need to do up front. It's going

551
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: to be a problem. And if you're a fantasy football

552
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: player here, I'm telling you right now, Ezekiel Elliott is

553
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: somebody you need to go ahead and seriously think about

554
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: putting on your roster because I expect this young man

555
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: to have a really nice year, especially if the offensive

556
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: linemen are healthy. I think Zeke can have a real

557
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: nice year. I've seen the screen game here. I'm like

558
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: shaking my head. They're wow, okay, where's this been? So

559
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has been working on trying to find ways

560
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: to get Zeke the ball. He caught one pass down

561
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the scene. There was a talk on touchdown said, I'm

562
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: looking at this kid that he's not just talking about

563
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: having a good season. We've seen him put the work in.

564
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: We're watching it out here on the field. So these

565
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: pads fly tomorrow, you know, they get a couple of

566
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: holes open here. I'm really eager to see what he

567
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: can do. And at the same time, on the other side,

568
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, is Lake vanderash is Jal Smith. Are they

569
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: ready to come up here and meet him in the hole.

570
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, man, We're real quick. Neid do

571
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: you do you feel as though do we still have

572
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: do you still believe that this defense can only go

573
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: as far as DeMarcus Lawrence can take it? Or do

574
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: you think we've had enough. We've added enough talent, we

575
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: got enough depth on this defense to where even if

576
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't perform to where he has in the past

577
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: getting double digit sacks being all over the field, we

578
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: can still feel a solid defense overall. Okay, And you

579
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: know how I feel. He's trying a twenty million dollars contract.

580
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: You need if you need to bring some results with it.

581
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: And for the past two seasons, DeMarcus Lawrence has not

582
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: played up to the player who got the twenty million

583
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: dollars contracts, but he needs to respond. Randy Gregory looks

584
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: good at here. Randy Gregory feels good, and you guys

585
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: have played this game at a high level. And when

586
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: you're in the right frame of mine and you're feeling good,

587
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: you can do some things. I mean there's sometimes, man,

588
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: they try to run some reverses here and Randy Gregg

589
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, no. So if Randy Gregory can be

590
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: to be a dominant player and tank, Lawrence can return

591
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: to what he's doing that's a help. I'm still gonna

592
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep saying it's a hammer at home all

593
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: day long. These defensive tackles have to be better. They

594
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: have to be able to stop the run. And if

595
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: they're able to stop the run, and you're two defensive ends,

596
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: do what live up to what we think they can be.

597
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: They'll being improved defense. But you just can't have the

598
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns running three hundred yards on you. You can't

599
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: sit up here and have all these guys setting career

600
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: highs and season highs against you like they were last

601
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: year running the football. It has to start up front.

602
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: For the Dallas guy was defensively and if the if

603
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: the front is working, then the back is going to

604
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: be a lot improved and they're not gonna have as

605
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: much pressure on them. But they've got to fix this.

606
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: They've got to fix a d line. It's not sexy

607
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: to talking about. People want to talk about the fantasy

608
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 1: football guys, but this defense last year was so bad.

609
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: And I think dan Quinn already just talking to guys.

610
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: Guys are plying in to dan Quinn and I've been

611
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: you know me, I think I should be skeptical and

612
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: I've been you know, last week, I was live to

613
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: last year, so I need to see how it Dan

614
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: quiet improves. Dan Quinn said he's not running that same

615
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: Atlanta defense because look, let's be honest, man, but like

616
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: these Atlanta defenses were these great defenses, like oh, I

617
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: mean there was no legion of boom and all in

618
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: atl So let's see how he uses his pieces. And

619
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I love the fact that they're gonna bring in a

620
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: guy like Hooker to say, hey, look, we're not exactly

621
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: where we want to be. Let's figure out how we

622
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: get there. Let's bring in another players. So I'm all

623
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: about what I'm seeing so far. Dan Quinn is a

624
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: guy who talks a good game. Right now, he seems

625
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: like a guy that you want to buy in. But

626
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: it's just talk. I gotta see it. So in all

627
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: past our popping them mark, we're get to see a

628
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: little bit of are you are you? Are you getting

629
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: closer to believing that they're getting in that top ti

630
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: an area on defense? No, No, there's no way, no,

631
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: because I haven't I haven't seen that. I have not

632
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: seen the d line work yet, So you know how

633
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: I feel. Danny thirty first against we also until i's fixed,

634
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: until I see some guys and then you know me.

635
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Last year they ran out down Terry Poe and Tristan Hill.

636
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Let's see if Gallimore who started games last year. Let's

637
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: see if Carlin. Let's see what they do up from

638
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: uh also a Dickey user from from UCLA. He's made

639
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: some nice ways. Let's see how this D line is

640
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: working and how Dan Quinn is able to get that

641
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: role he spent. He spends a lot of time with

642
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: the D line when you watch the practices here, and

643
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: that's that's where he cut his teeth and I love

644
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: to see that. I gotta see improvement right there. And

645
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: until I do, you can't talk about top ten D.

646
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: You can't go first against the run and just say,

647
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: hey man, I think it's gonna be a top ten.

648
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: I gotta see Bill Parcels, you have a great line.

649
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: All I can go by is what I see. Okay,

650
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: tell me this, what do you see in the secondary?

651
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Since because the secondary is less less dependent on what

652
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: you see once they have pads on, and more of

653
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: what you see when they get in seven on seven

654
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: and when they do past Kelley play extra pass and

655
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff. What do you see from the back,

656
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: from the back end of the defense that would either say, hey, man,

657
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: I think we're better or we got a lot of

658
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: growing to do. I love what I've seen from dis.

659
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I like the way he wants to compete, that he's

660
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: not afraid to get out there to talk and just

661
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm ready. So I like that about him.

662
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: I asked Dan Quinn at the press conference. I said,

663
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: Daniel last year there in Atlanta used the first round

664
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: pick on a corner to kJ Terrell out of the climpse.

665
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: I said, watch you pass on Dicks and have you

666
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: spoken to him about that? Then I asked Digs, I said,

667
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: you know you talk to Dan about him not taking

668
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I haven't, but I want to, he said,

669
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: I want to ask him about that. He said, watching

670
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: Dick's compete, he's into that. You know, that's one of

671
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: Dan's so he loves the way he competes. And he

672
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: also just said it's one of those things as a coach,

673
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: it's just different when you see a guy out here.

674
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: So he's got to see him, you know, every day

675
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: versus just kind of looking at film and watching workouts,

676
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: and he's a press by what he does, what he

677
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: is doing there. So Diggs is gonna be a good player.

678
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: And I know I said it before, I'm gonna say

679
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: it again. Here's a second contract guy. I think this

680
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: is a second contract guy. And the way he spends

681
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: his offseason working on getting better, working with his brother

682
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: who's an All Pro receiver, Stefan Diggs. With the Bills,

683
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: he talked about he had his hands on fourteen balls

684
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: last year. He's like, man, I only got three picks.

685
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: That's not good enough. I need to be better at it.

686
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: So I love his competitiveness. I think Anthony Brown is

687
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: trying to make people remember the Hey, I'm not chopped

688
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: liver out here. I'm trying to compete for a spot.

689
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Boss Man Fat's got a little bit of work to do,

690
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: but that's okay. N Sean Right, Let's see what he

691
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: does when the pads come on. He's been impressive so far.

692
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: I like what I see, but let's see what happens

693
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: when the pads come on. And the same thing for

694
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: boss Man Fat, who they took in the second round

695
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: of the quarter position. So once again, with the pads beyond,

696
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be real interescing Malik Turner, number seventeen wide

697
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: receiver the Cowboys from Illinois. He's made some nice plays,

698
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: but let's see how he does when you catch this

699
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: all and there's a lit put on you. Let's see

700
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: how this goes here with the hats are there. So

701
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: so I'm very interested to see how a couple of

702
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: guys look. But I'll say this, overall, Danny, I think

703
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: you should feel good that the defense already looks better.

704
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: They look better, they look like they have a clue

705
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: that they want to do out here last year where

706
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: people were not buying in to Mike Nolan at all,

707
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: and that's a good sign. That's a good sign because

708
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like our defense is going against

709
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, some whole hum offense over there. I mean,

710
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: we got and if we stay healthy, I think one

711
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: of the top ten offenses out there with all those

712
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: receiving options, tight end, running back. But we got out there.

713
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: So if they're performing well against our offense, now granted,

714
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: like you said, there's no pads on, but if they're

715
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, performing well together and there's not a lot

716
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: of busted plays out there, I mean, Danny, you could

717
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: be onto something. I highly doubt it, but you could

718
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: be onto something about this top ten. It's a hard job.

719
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's you're asking for a lot, man,

720
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: you're asking for no listen, let me tell you something, y'all.

721
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: Y'all just sung because y'all, y'all drunk that kool aid

722
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: last year. I didn't drink it, you know what I'm saying.

723
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: So I'm okay. I'm okay because I was right last

724
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: year and I believe I'm gonna be right again this year.

725
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: And y'all just scared to put your toe in because

726
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: you already know you got burned one time. And that's fine.

727
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna take y'all a little time to

728
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: get on board. But I'll hold a seat for y'all

729
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: on his on his bandwagon, real quick, real, real quick. Man.

730
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: I've seen seen some reports out there. How's my boy

731
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: Double G doing out there? He looked like he was

732
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: slanging the rock a little bit and that in that

733
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: video you sent the So has he been doing it

734
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: or is nobody really noticed Double G out there? I

735
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: told him I don't think the backup Dallas Cowboys on

736
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: the roster, But I don't think that's back Wow. That's

737
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: how they the whole. I look at Garrett Gilbert as

738
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: this is back in the day. It's a girl you

739
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: you guys went out on dates, you didn't call your girlfriend.

740
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: You guys had good times, you know that kind of thing,

741
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: because you were always looking for the upgrade. And that's

742
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: how I look at Garrett Gilbert. G gilbs a guy

743
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: that got him out here. Now he's the dude, Cooper Rush.

744
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: They are there, you know, that's the guy. They're dating them.

745
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: They feel good, we like you he that that. But

746
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: if somebody else gets out there on the open market

747
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: that McCarthy feels like it's better will mclago going they

748
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger, then you know a buy double g

749
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: by Cooper Rush. That's how I feel. I don't feel

750
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: like these guys are sitting here like, oh yeah, this

751
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: is the guy. The Nucci's gonna be on the team.

752
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: You know, benj Nuci's gonna be But but but I

753
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: do not feel as though Dack's backup is currently on

754
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: this football team. That answer your question, That answer your question.

755
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: That looks okay, it looks it looks, it looks okay.

756
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: You know, it looks fine. But I just don't think

757
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: that's I think they're gonna be They're gonna be looking,

758
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna search the way room. Hopefully, well, hopefully we

759
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: don't have to know. Hopefully we don't have to see

761

Speaker 1: you know, Dak stays healthy throughout the year. But I

762
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: think it could be a solid option, you know, Church,

763
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: don't don't worry. Church, You're gonna get a lot of

Speaker 1: up and come on out here because you over here

825
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: all all sorts of spots. Okay. So the fact that

826
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: you're not here, I told y'all. I told ya. All

827
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: y'all have to do is go to hotels dot com. Look,

828
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: get you right, They'll get you the lowest rooms possible.

829
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes traveling so much easier hotels dot Com.

830
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: Then so I got let me, let me find, let

831
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: me find the hotel you staying there in the hotel

832
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: dot Com. Then I told you, I get through it

833
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: go to hotels dot com on right. All right, Dak Prescott,

834
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: he will play in the preseason. He wants to play

835
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Mike McCarthy says, yes, he will. They

836
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: would not give us any timetable about how much, how long,

837
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: or when he would play. I don't anticipate him to

838
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: be out there against the Pittsburgh's Tea was in the

839
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. So Barry church Day would create

840
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: two former Dallas Cowboys safeties. How would you proceed in

841
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: getting your quarterbacks some work coming off that devastating ankle

842
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: injury as you get ready for the season, and you've

843
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: made him the highest paid player in the national football

844
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: church well, I think you get Even though I said,

845
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: you know, minicamp, I don't want anybody near him. I

846
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: don't want people touching them. I think in the preseason

847
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: you gotta get him at least three at least three series.

848
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's you know, one in the second

849
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: game and then you know two in that third warm

850
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: up game that they always say the starters play the

851
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: first half, you gotta get him at least three series

852
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: just to get him out there. Hackling made it to

853
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: UH to a live rush. You know, guys coming at them,

854
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: hands flying all over the place. I mean, they're not

855
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna veer away, you know from the quarterback like they

856
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: do in practice. You know, they're not even They're gonna

857
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: come at you full fourth. So for me, I think

858
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: you gotta get them ready for that because once the

859
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: regular season jumps around, you don't want him to be

860
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: you know, you know, jittery in game one. You don't

861
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: want them to have the you know, the yips in

862
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: Game one where oh man, this guy was close to

863
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: my ankle. I don't you know, I don't know what

864
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: she should do. Should I just go down? So to me,

865
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: I think you gotta get all of that out in

866
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: the preseason. Um. You know, if you now, if he's

867
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: get out there getting lit up, you know, take him

868
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: out immediately. But I think you gotta get him at

869
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: least three series just to get him acclimated to it.

870
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Get him back then you know, an emotion of things,

871
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: throwing it to those wide receivers, throwing it to those

872
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: tight ends we got. So we'll see what they do.

873
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: But I say three series. Yeah, I'm with you, Church,

874
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't even spread it out over two games.

875
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: I would give him three series in one game, and

876
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: then those three series. The smartest thing you could do

877
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: is run, run past like quick slant, uh run screen,

878
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: quick slant and run and get him out of there,

879
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: just to get him a feel for some get him

880
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: two or three throws, get your screen game going so

881
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: you don't risk him taking any unnecessary punishment. Save him

882
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: for the season, because we've seen exactly what happens when

883
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: you don't have him for the season. And when Romo

884
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: went down, we were lucky to have that Prescott. This time,

885
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: we don't we, Louis says, the back of quarterback is

886
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: not even on the roster, so I don't even think

887
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: it's worth it to risk it. Get him in there,

888
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: make sure nobody's around him, get the ball of his

889
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: hands quick, get him to the sideline and getting ready

890
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: for Temple. And that's only if that whole offensive line

891
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: is ready and right there. Now, if any of those

892
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: guys for some you know, crazy reason you know, aren't playing,

893
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: or they got injured during camp or something like that,

894
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't risk putting him out there. That The only

895
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: way I'm putting him out there is if he got

896
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: that full healthy offensive line there just because I ain't

897
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: trying to risk something crazy happening. But you know, but they,

898
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: like you said to man, they got to get him

899
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: a couple plays in there during this preseason. So a

900
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: question I'm gonna ask Mike McCarthy later on is, Mike,

901
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: what is your football team? Is it a running team

902
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: or a passing team? Which isn't? And I had a

903
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: little debate with Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News,

904
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: and Calvin's like, hey, man, you pay Dak all this money,

905
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: you go out there, you throw the ball. And I said, man,

906
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: dude's coming off ankles and ankles injury. And I said,

907
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: why not take twenty one who looks good and really

908
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: run the football. You got a seventeen game season here.

909
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: There's gonna be timing up to get Dak going. I

910
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: said it, but man to I want to run the

911
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: football and protect Dak Prescott and also protecting my defense

912
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: by by chewing up the clock. So in your opinion, guys,

913
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: what kind of football teams should the Cowboys be offensively,

914
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: especially these first four games to start the season. But Craig,

915
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: you know me, you know me. Listen, the best Cowboys

916
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: team that I've seen or been around. Were run first

917
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: teams all right. We had the most dominant, nasty offensive line.

918
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: We would move the move the line of scrimmage, boom,

919
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: first down three yards, second down four yards, and everything

920
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: was third and short. So it was easy for Dak

921
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: to make those completions, easy for Romo to make those completions.

922
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: Control the clock and move down the field. I think

923
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: when you get behind the six and your incomplete pass

924
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: on first down, incomplete pass on second down, then you

925
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: run into these issues that we've been seeing over the

926
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years. So get me. Dominate the offensive line,

927
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: dominate the line of scrimmage, and then work the offense

928
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: off of that. Oh hey, I got some breaking out.

929
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: Let me let me get you. Just got this from

930
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 1: Joe Trey Handy, outstanding pr man for the Dallas Cowboys.

931
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: Mitch Hyatt is going to injured reserve. Malik Hooker is

932
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: officially signed. He will wear number twenty eight, So number

933
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: twenty eight on your roster. It's going to be a

934
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: Malik Hooker at defensive backfield and Mitch Hyatt is going

935
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: to the tackle. Mitch high is going to the injured reserve.

936
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: So there you go. Well, in a in a spirit

937
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: of competition here we go. I mean, CAZy now now

938
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: it's official. Now it's official. Hooker's gonna be back there,

939
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: and I assume they're going to be battling it out

940
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: with him in Kaz because you know, I feel like

941
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: you know Wilson. I don't think he's always calling them

942
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: earlier unicorns or they don't got to he won't have

943
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: his position taken. But between those two, at that whole safety,

944
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: that should be a great competition between both of them.

945
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: And it's official now, I mean, you gotta put Kazy

946
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: on waiver. Now it's gonna be official to see what

947
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: happens for the rest of his camp. I don't think

948
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna put Kazy on waivers. I mean, nah,

949
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: it was a bad term. I mean, not in waiver.

950
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: But you gotta put them on on alert. I mean

951
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: put him on alert, not not waiver, whis put him

952
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: on alert. But oh he's on alert right, there's a

953
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: bunch of them on alert. Okay, But I think this

954
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: is the positive. First off, you got Kazy and Hooker

955
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: both coming off Achilles, so we've got to see how

956
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: both of these guys respond. But the opportunity is there

957
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: put it like this, This feels so much better than

958
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: last year what we saw with a click dicks. All right,

959
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: we've got guys, we've got opportunities, and we've got to

960
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: see exactly what people can do. So that's it. That

961
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: to me, this is this is exactly what you want

962
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: with a defense that had so many issues last year. Hey, fellas,

963
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: we just throwing chumm in the water and let's see

964
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: who who who goes and gets him. You know, let's

965
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: let's see let's see who's gonna go ahead, get out there,

966
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: improve and show what they can do. By the way,

967
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: Hooker's got a mask on. He's kind of off to

968
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: the side and so so very little participation in no helmet,

969
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: So I just want to make sure I put that

970
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: out there as well. But Hooker is Hooker's out here, baby,

971
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: he's out here here. And you gotta believe, you know,

972
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: Kzy kind of kind of has the leg up in

973
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: this in this competition at least early on, because you

974
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: know he's been under Quinn, he's been under that system.

975
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he said he's not going to

976
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: bring that a specific Atlanta defense here to Dallas Cowboys,

977
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: but he's got to put it in some type of traits,

978
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: some type of principles of his defense back here with

979
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I gotta believe CAZy knows about those

980
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: as well, So I think he has a up early on.

981
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: We'll see how how Hooker can battle back in this one. Now, Now,

982
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: that was Church, because I want to know he thinks

983
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: he should be a running team or a fasting team. Look,

984
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm with y'all. I'm with y'all a hundred percent. I

985
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: think we should be, you know, a running team. As

986
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past when our defense has had

987
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: their most success was when you know Ezekiel Elliott or

988
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. They were pounding that rock and they were

989
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: they were letting the defense get a big break in

990
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: as far as time is concerned, and we go out there,

991
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: we get a takeaway and get it right back to them,

992
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: so we ate up that time and possession. It helped

993
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: our defense out and I think that's when we get

994
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,439
Speaker 1: the best and our most potential from our offense. But

995
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: if y'all think Jerry Jones paid, it made Dak Prescott

996
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: the highest paid quarterback in the National Football League history.

997
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: To watch him turn around and hand the ball off

998
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: to Ezekiel Elliott. You're crazy. And then we also got

999
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator who thinks it's Madden out here, who

1000
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: loves to throw the ball, even on fourth or one,

1001
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,439
Speaker 1: loves with the ball. So if y'all think we're about

1002
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: to turn to go around and turn and turn around

1003
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: and hand this ball out to Zekiel Elliott, you're crazy.

1004
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: It should be a running team, but he's gonna be

1005
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: throwing that ball all over the yard. I can assume

1006
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: forty to fifty times a game. Listen, it's it's possible, Church,

1007
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, gave you gave him Mark Cooper one hundred

1008
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: million dollars and let him run slants all day. So

1009
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll be you never know he we are going to

1010
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: the eighth throw. We're gonna be coming back over here

1011
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: like man what. We'll get the dub. We'll get the win,

1012
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be tighter than it needed to be.

1013
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: And I don't think Zeke's gonna get the touches that

1014
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: he thinks he's gonna receive. Church, I want to also

1015
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: go back in preference what I said. I'm talking about

1016
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: this first four games. Okay, especially had the first month

1017
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: of the evening and just talking about the whole season. Okay, yeah,

1018
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: in a seventeen game season. I'm thinking, okay, look, let's

1019
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: just just just kind of ease this thing in here

1020
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: with Dak that we're keeping him at thirty throws and

1021
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: under in a football game, and really trying to utilize

1022
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: what you have with Ezekiel Ellie, with Tony Pollar and

1023
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: even what you touched on Danny in terms of preseason. Actually, hey,

1024
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: how can we get the ball out here quicker? How

1025
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: can we figure out a way to help our quarterback

1026
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: and keep him as clean as possible. We've already seen

1027
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: how guys can't get through sixteen games in this league.

1028
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: So many quarterbacks have an issues here. I want to do,

1029
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: at least in my opinion, coming out here facing a

1030
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: team like Tampa Bay. You then next up, you gotta

1031
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 1: come out here back to LA You're gonna face some Chargers,

1032
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna face some quality defenses out of the game.

1033
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: To me, turn this thing around handed to twenty one,

1034
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: or utilize the screen game with twenty one and twenty

1035
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 1: and and really just try to keep Dax throws under.

1036
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: When you start talking about forty fifty times a game,

1037
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: that's more and more opportunities for guys to get back

1038
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: here and and hit and hit four. I need for healthy,

1039
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: especially towards the end. We talked about how tough the

1040
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: Cowboy schedule is at the back end with a whole

1041
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: bunch of these NFC East games. That's what I'm trying

1042
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: to get to. If I'm Mike McCarthy right now, is hey,

1043
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: let's pace this thing. It's a long marathon. We're gonna

1044
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: have a lot of games, and what is it, maybe

1045
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: nine games a row after the buys that they're at.

1046
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking long term about trying

1047
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: to trying to save number four and have him, you know,

1048
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: playing at a premium level at the back end of

1049
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, let me tell you something. Dak Prescott

1050
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: out throwing about forty times a game. We are losing.

1051
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: We headed for six to eleven. I'm just telling if

1052
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: you have to throw the ball forty times per game

1053
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: four to fifteen, we're seeing that game in the game out.

1054
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: One our defense is they're not playing the way that

1055
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: they should play, and we are having to take too

1056
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: many risks to try to get us to win the

1057
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: win the football game. So if you see those numbers,

1058
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: you can guarantee that we are probably not first an

1059
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: NFC East and not in the Super Bowl running. And

1060
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm with y'all on that. I'm with y'all. I think

1061
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: you know, we need to turn around, hand this ball

1062
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 1: out to Zeke, maybe limit the throws to maybe twenty

1063
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: to twenty five to maybe even thirty a game if that.

1064
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: But I just don't. I gotta see it. I gotta

1065
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: see it to believe it. We've seen it happen last

1066
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 1: year with McCarthy said, Oh yeah, we're gonna be handing

1067
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: this thing off to Zeke. This's gonna be a run team.

1068
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: And look what we did, even before Dak got hurt,

1069
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: we were throwing the ball all over the yard. So

1070
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: I got, like Louis says, I gotta see it to

1071
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: believe it. Hopefully we go the running route, but we'll see, well,

1072
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: we will see it depends on the health of the

1073
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: on line. I'll go there, because you know, like you said,

1074
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, we weren't we weren't

1075
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: healthy enough to be running the ball like like we

1076
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: should have. We weren't moving a line of scrimmage. And

1077
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: then we also had Zeke out there fumbling, you know,

1078
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: almost every time he touched the ball. So hopefully this

1079
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: year is different. We have a full, healthy offensive line

1080
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: and they're able to move that line of scrimmage and

1081
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: create some gaps for Zeque, so we can keep handing

1082
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: it to him because I think the minute you see

1083
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: him get a one yard game or two yard games,

1084
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: when they start going straight to the past. Yes. Um,

1085
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: you guys, we were kind of touching on this in

1086
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: our break a little bit here the Olympics today. I

1087
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: haven't had an opportunity to pay a whole lot of

1088
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: attention to it because I'm out here, but I did

1089
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: get that early morning alert on my phone about someone

1090
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 1: Biles who decided to exit the team competition in Team

1091
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: USA ended up getting a silver. Russia won it, and

1092
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: it was not an injury for someone Biles. She said,

1093
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: quote Physically, I feel good. Emotionally, it varies on the

1094
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: time and moments. Coming to the Olympics and being such

1095
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: a star isn't an easy feat. Wow, somemone Biles letting

1096
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: you know that her mental health has been something that

1097
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: she's got to look at. Here. What is your opinion,

1098
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: because you guys are former athletes, and you've played with

1099
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: guys who were the you know, expected to carry out here.

1100
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: What is that like when all of the expectations are

1101
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: on you to perform and be a star. The people

1102
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: have wanted her to be the star of the twenty

1103
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: twenty one Tokyo Games. Your thoughts church starting, Oh well,

1104
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was never at the level

1105
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: she was as far as stardom, and so I can

1106
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: I can only imagine, you know, the type of pressure

1107
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: in the weight that was on her shoulders. I mean

1108
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: coming into this, to this Olympics, that's all you heard,

1109
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: and it was postponed a year. This was supposed to

1110
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: happen last year, and she was supposed to, you know,

1111
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: get all this recognition, but then we come around one

1112
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: more year and it's just built up even more. I mean,

1113
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: you got basically the whole United States, you know, gymnastic

1114
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: gymnastics back order, just a gymnastics team and everybody putting

1115
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: their their weight on you to perform. And it's got

1116
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: to be it's got to be immense. It's got to

1117
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: have immense pressure to it. And you added, honest, the Olympics,

1118
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: so it's not just the American audience watching this this

1119
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: the whole world watching you perform and wanting you to

1120
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: be the you know, the the woman, you know, the

1121
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: the child is out there in front of everybody, so

1122
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: it has to be it has to have immense pressure

1123
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: on her. And I can only imagine what her what

1124
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: was going through her mind, you know, performing and while

1125
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: waiting to get on the on that last stage. So

1126
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: it's it's tough. It's gotta be tough. Yeah, I think

1127
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: it's a little bit extreme for for for the young

1128
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: for the young female athletes like Osaka and and and

1129
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: someone viols and in the sense that not they aren't

1130
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: expected to just win. They are pretty much expected to

1131
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: be perfect every time they step out there, right, So

1132
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: if you even I said, I'm watching Simone Biles out there,

1133
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, oh, yeah, she took an extra step here,

1134
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: extra step there. Oh she's not performing as well, but

1135
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: you see her score and her score is still above

1136
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: everybody else's. It's just the expectations that we put on

1137
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: these on these young ladies, and it's it gets to

1138
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: them too, because they want to perform up to the

1139
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: high level as well, and when they don't or when

1140
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: they make a mistake, I think they feel the way

1141
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: to the world coming down on them. So I just

1142
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: can't imagine how intense those emotions are and how they

1143
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: feel well, you know, going through this process. But I'm

1144
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: definitely pray informed and hoping that Smone Biles gets it

1145
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: right and she can come back and perform up to

1146
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: the ability that she sees herself during this season. Small

1147
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: Biles lives out in the Houston, Texas area. I was

1148
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: lucky enough to take my family, my three girls and

1149
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: my wife, we went to go see her and at

1150
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: Dicky's Arena for Warts where they had the USA Gymnastics

1151
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: at the National Championships, and I said to my second child,

1152
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 1: and it's just and I just remember these words clearly,

1153
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: and I said, it's amazing to watch her performer. All

1154
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: these eyes are looking exactly at her, and she's expected

1155
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,959
Speaker 1: to win every time, every whether she's winning the being,

1156
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: whether she's winning the vault. Before it's that said, that's

1157
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: hard that you're expected to be number one each time.

1158
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how she does it. And now that

1159
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: she's gotten to the Olympics and you see that it's

1160
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: weighing on her, I understand it one hundred percent. And

1161
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: I hope. I hope people out there on social media

1162
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: are understanding of this is a woman who's been carrying

1163
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: this for a long time and what it is like

1164
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: to be in her shoes, to be in Michael phelps shoes,

1165
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: where NBC and the world are expecting you to be

1166
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: the star, and when you don't get anything less than

1167
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: a gold medal, it's considered a disappointment. I can't imagine

1168
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: having that type of pressure. It's almost like the Tiger

1169
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: Woods when Tiger Woods was golfing and we were watching him.

1170
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: Hey man, we're expecting Tiger to win, even though we

1171
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: know it's hard to win every week, but we expect that.

1172
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: We put that kind of pressure on the athlete, and

1173
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: that's that's a challenge here. So hopefully some of them

1174
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: can can can get what she needs to feel good

1175
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: and and finish these Olympic Games and get a couple

1176
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: of gold medals. Yeah. I'll tell you who who who

1177
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: should who should be mentor them and who has the

1178
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: most advice and experience from those situations of Serena Williams,

1179
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: because she went through that and it still is going

1180
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: through that well. I still expect Serena Willis to beat

1181
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 1: those I can get that and get that next Grand Slam.

1182
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: Every time she walks out there, and she's she's been

1183
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: doing it for so long, She's went through her ups

1184
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: and bounds, handle it, and I think she has some

1185
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: good advice for those two very true. Yeah, I tell you,

1186
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: I look at it, guy like Tom Brady, the same

1187
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: thing you know to be To be that good that

1188
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: long at any sport, it's hard, and I just I

1189
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 1: just can't imagine it. But I think Michael Phelps would

1190
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: be if there was someone that some owe bios could

1191
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: get on the phone with and talk about having to

1192
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 1: understand what it is to have to in someone's carry

1193
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: the games, to have the programming network program all around you. Um,

1194
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: that could that could be a phone call that that

1195
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: could help. And I remember Michael Phelps talking about his

1196
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: own challenges mentally to live up to that and Ray

1197
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: Lewis had helped him. So I just hope someone can

1198
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: get there to some own biles and and just just

1199
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: help her get through this process because she's a tremendous

1200
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: athlete and I just I just uh, I just respect

1201
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: her greatness so much and just to watch fellas, I

1202
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: can't tell you what it is like to watch it

1203
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: in person and to see the whole arena, to see

1204
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: how everyone was fixated. Because when they're performing every there's

1205
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: all you know, there's all sorts of exo. Somebody's on

1206
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: the vault, somebody's do on the floor exercise, somebody's on

1207
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,439
Speaker 1: the balance being. But wherever Simone was, that was where

1208
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: the eyes were. It was almost like we didn't even

1209
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 1: care about the other ladies out there on the floor,

1210
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: and and the cheers were for her. I mean, somebody's

1211
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,200
