This is the Player's 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:22.480 Lounge broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.800 It's that time for the planes Lounge. I'm knew he 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.000 scrubs longtime Cowboys are going to joined by two former 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.400 Dallas Cowboys, Safety's Buried Church and Danny McCrae. I am 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.920 here in beautiful Oxnard, California. Had to put on a 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.440 little light like jacket today, just a little shirt and 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.440 hold out here. But it's gonna heat up just a 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.080 little bit, probably get up to sixty eight maybe seventy 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.160 of a high today. I here in southern California. Gentlemen, 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.840 How are we doing back in Texas? Man? As you 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.600 can see, I'm back in Dallas, Texas, and I'm sweating 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.280 a little bit on here. Knew you had the audacity 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.040 to say it's gonna heat up to about seventy I 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.520 can't believe you said that, man, while we all here 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.880 sweating crazy out here. Man, this is ridiculous. Yeah, let 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.200 me tell you something. I'm jealous. Man. For some reason, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.920 we decided to go to the zoo this weekend. Ed 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.480 eleven am in the morning on Sunday, and goodness Grace, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.520 we paid for it. We paid for it new It 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.600 was up for about forty five minutes before we found 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.080 out that that that that's not the right move. And 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.880 so it's it is hot. It ll out here. There's 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.120 barely any shade out there. Bro the a the air 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.039 wasn't moving. It was sticky, and the air was stick bro. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.080 I was like, man, this ain't right. My little daughter 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.400 was drinking all the water, killing the drink water like that. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.440 He would just killing water. I'm like, yeah's time to go. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.760 They had a little mistress, the little air mistress on Bro. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.000 The water that was coming out of that was hot. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.640 All the animals were sleeping. It was in the shade. Man, 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.240 it was too but even the animals tapped out. Even 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.320 the animals tapped out. October. Okay, there there's your there's 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.840 your zoo tip. All right, take your kid to the 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.280 zoo in October. That's a good time to go. Weather's nice, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.880 animals around and it's enjoyable for you. And you can 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.600 go in the morning time. Uh well, especially while you know, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.960 because you're your daughter's out in school yet well, everybody 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.400 else is in school, so October nice time, So go 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.120 ahead and plant it around there. So that says your 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.720 pro tip. There's your proparenting tip right there. From should 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.720 I should I should have asked you before I went, 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.880 I should have asked you. Mike McCarthy just spoke, and 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.760 those watching us on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, you saw it. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.120 Malik Hooker. That's a guy that you all have spoken about. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.440 You two guys are for safety. So Malik Hooker is 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.639 working out right now, according to Mike McCarthy, and he 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.079 says no roster move has been made yet, so they 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.040 haven't signed him, but they are. They're interested, and look, 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.720 I anticipate Hooker being, you know, a member of this 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.440 team now. He's a former first round pick, had a 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.640 couple of nice years with the Cults, but injuries have 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.200 derailed his career. They want as much competition as they 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.160 can get back there to say spot, there no guaranteed 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.799 spots right now. I think Donovan Wilson's obviously a guy 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.960 that Mike McCarthy likes. You spoke about him very favorably 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.880 in the press conference. But Malie Cooker looks like he's 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.120 going to get an opportunity to show the Cowboys what 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.919 he can do. Church your thoughts, well, look, I think 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.000 it would be a good move. I mean, as far 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.600 as competition is concerned, it would bring another guy in 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.560 there who's technically a whole safety. He doesn't really do 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.120 a lot in the BOSS, but he's a whole safety, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.560 something that we haven't had here with the Cowboys in 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.680 a long time. So it brings competition for Kaz back there. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:44.800 And this is a guy he's been in the league. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.600 He's a veteran in the league, so he knows the 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.320 ins and houts of playing the position, and when healthy, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.960 he's a boiler. I mean, we've seen it in his 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.320 rookie year. He had three interceptions right off the bat 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.680 when he was healthy. But that's that's the question with him. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.880 Like you said earlier when you were talking, he's gone 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.000 through a couple of injuries that have derailed his career 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.240 so far, so bringing him in would be another kind 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.800 of injury prone guy. We already had Kaz coming off 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.680 in Achilles. We got Kat O'Neill coming off in Achilles, 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.600 so we're already kind of fielding a battered and bruised 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.520 defense right now. But I guess as far as competition 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.840 is concerned, I wouldn't mind seeing him come in there 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.760 and duke it out with Kaz for that whole safety responsibility. 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.719 But like I said, I mean, this is another injured 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.520 gay we're technically bringing on world we're thinking about bringing on. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.560 So I'm not so sure about it. But as far 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.159 as competition is concerned, it should be a good one. Yeah. Look, 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.479 I feel the same church churches knew it. You know, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.479 one thing about the Cowboys, We're gonna bring in some 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.880 injured guys, all right, we're gonna draft them, We're gonna 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.640 bring him in the free agency, and then we're gonna 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.679 try to get him fixed up with my man Brett Brown, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.560 and we're gonna see how it turns out. Same thing 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.840 going with Jaymon Smith and Sean Lee. So I mean, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.440 you know, if you listen to what guys were saying 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.040 about how Britt Brown was able to get back back 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.560 and get jard Win back, then I have some confidence 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.040 in them being able to do the same thing with 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.040 Hooker once he gets his hands on. And as far 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.839 as competition, this is amazing. I mean, competition brings the 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.760 best out of everyone, and it also stops some of 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.080 those players that are already here from getting complacent. Man, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.080 it pushes them to be the best them that they 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.320 can be throughout this training camp to try to earn 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.400 that position. So to me, it's great. I think this 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.760 is a great start to us, you know, starting that 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.839 top ten defense by forcing the competition on these guys 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.120 and letting not letting anybody get too comfortable. So I 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.400 love it. I can I ask you'll both a question. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.880 Do y'all think we have room enough to keep both 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.320 as like a death thing or it has to be 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.200 one or the other as far as Kazy and Hooker's 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:44.320 concerns the hands, that's if so listen, I think that's tough. 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.800 Even though that even though you added, you know, the 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.680 seventeenth game, I still think that's tough. I think you 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.040 need to carve out a certain position for whoever earns 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.560 that spot and let them know that they earned it 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.960 and it's theirs to move throughout the season. So you 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.000 don't have that pressure on that guy thinking he's gonna 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.000 get a spot taken. He's not able to play free, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.919 free and loose, so I think they let him battle 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.480 it out, figure out who's the best of that position, 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.279 and and and let them go throughout the season as 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:11.920 a starter at that and let the other guy walk. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.640 I think that's the best way to do it, and 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.840 that's the best way to show that. You know, when 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.039 when you fight to compete for a spot and you 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.120 earn it, that the Cowboys going to reward you. I 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.880 agree with everything you said. You've got preseason games, we've 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.720 got practices, so let's see what happens. The pads come 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.520 on tomorrow and it's time. It's showtime. It is showtime. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.400 I like the fact that there are no sacred cows 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.240 around here. Want a job, go out here and perform 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.680 j Ron curse. If you're j Ron curse, you gotta 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.719 sit up here and saying, Okay, they're bringing out somebody 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.320 else here from my spot, so I need to sit 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.960 out here and show what I can do. Um this 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.279 defense and actually this football team, in my opinion, the 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.480 last five six years and had too many guys who 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.479 just well, I've got a spot and there's no competition. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.720 You know, I'm sorry, there's no there's some big championship 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.560 banners being raised around here. People need to go out 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.040 and earn their positions, and I think this has been 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.520 a positive move that Mike McCarthy has made as they've 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.640 gone into this this year, especially with the defense as 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.680 poorly as it performed last year, people need to show 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.640 that they can do something here. Are you giving it 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.760 to Mike McCarthy? Are you given that to day? Huen? 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.680 I think here we go, there we both. I think 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.120 that you know, look, okay, yes, I've I've been tough 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.320 on McCarthy, just just a little bit. That was my 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.240 first question to Jerry Joe Sunday night and our one 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.120 on one interview on on NBC five. I went, I 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.440 went after McCarthy, but it's something that he's talked about. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.160 And obviously Dan Quinn having spent so much time with 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:44.280 Pete Carroll and his you know, his whole thing every day. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.520 This is good And I'm sorry. Is there anybody on 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.440 this defense that we should say, hey, they're a sacred 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.880 cow and they're just fine. I don't think we can 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.800 really truly say that. So you're six and ten for 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.600 a reason, and so you make sure you don't go 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.040 six eleven. You need to make sure that guys are 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.040 out here knowing that they've got jobs to play for it. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.840 I think they've set themselves up in a very good 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.640 way on all three levels of this defense where there 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.600 is competition. You've got guys who've got to play for 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.360 contracts here. If people are thirsty, you got a bunch 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.640 of thirty and hungry dogs out here. Then I think 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.280 they have an opportunity to be a playoff team. I 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.680 think they must be a playoff team, uh, for for 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.160 Mike McCarthy to return next year. In my opinion, yeah, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:27.560 I think you're right. Or what they did with that, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.360 there's all three levels. I mean, look what they did 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.520 with the interior defensive line. They brought those rookies in 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.640 and they shipped Antwoine Woods out. And then at the 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.160 second level at the linebacker position, you got the first 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.160 round pick in Parsons. You also brought in Cox. And 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.360 in the secondary you got you know, Kelvin Joseph over there, 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.120 you got Anthony Brown, you got Jordan Lewis, I mean, 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.960 Trayvon Diggs out there. I mean it's it's it's loaded 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.079 in a sense where they're gonna have to duke it 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.880 out to get those starting jobs. I mean, we'll see 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.679 if those guys can when they when they do get 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.600 the starting job, if they're able to perform as well, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.280 but right now, the depth they have there for this competition, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.280 I think you guys are saying that it's going to 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.560 bring the best out of everybody out there, and hopefully 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.600 we feel deep best defense we can going into the season, because, 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.280 like I said, if we're just the middle of the pack, 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.280 if everybody stays healthy and we're just the middle of 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.560 the pack defense, I think we can do big things 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.320 here in Dallas. Listen, listen, you know I gotta give 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.920 my guy shout out anytime I can. All right, there 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.520 is one defensive player that is a quote unquote sacred cow. Nui. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.280 Would you like to get who that is? Oh? My 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:31.440 good special, my special team Ace. Nobody can take his spot. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.440 His spot is guaranteed. He's gonna be out there being 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.880 then envy well hopefully being the MVP of the defense, 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.080 but making some plays out there to change the game. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.520 So you know we got one guy, all right, you're 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.920 talking about? Good with you? Dang right. I just wanted 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.680 y'all to say his name, all right, say he is 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.880 the guy? All right, He's a sacred cow. His spot 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.920 is locked that he don't have to do anything to 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.920 make the squad. He is ready to go and We 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.199 watch that on film all last season, and I think 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.880 he's gonna be better this season. Okay, I'll give you 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.040 the that's fun. That's fun.

Pads are on tomorrow, Pads popping, pads popping. 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:07.040 You guys played this league, so tell the folks who 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.440 are watching and listening how different it is from the 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:18.559 underwear Olympics to when the pads start popping tomorrow in Ox. No, man, 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.719 are you you're gonna give it to me Church, Let 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.360 me tell you the boy. The boys are separated from 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.520 the men when the past come on. All that talk 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.040 that you did. You see guys out there winning the 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.400 weight room Olympics and lifting and doing all this stuff, 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.720 all that comes to fruition. Now when the pass come on, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.880 we're gonna really get to see if you have it 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.880 in you to make those hits and make those same taples, 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.600 take those same same angles that you had when you 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.280 didn't have pads on, knowing that it's possible that you 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.040 might get ran over, and you got to explode from 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.760 those hips to make that tapple. It's a totally different thing. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.920 When you rushed against Tyrant Smith with pads on, It's 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.800 gonna be a totally different thing. Everything's different, everything's more intense, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.719 And we're gonna learn a lot about these players with 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.440 these ads on. And I just can't wait to hear 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.000 aybody from Newity. Man, this is this is gonna be exciting. Yeah, 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.480 I think b Back, you hit it right on the 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.439 head when it when it comes to putting the pads on, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.440 it's it's it's definitely a different a different vibe out there. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.280 I mean, and you got guys when you're in like 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.880 you said, knew the underwear Olympics. You got you know, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.520 Zeke coming through the hole, and you got this guy 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.680 feeling it when he has on shorts and everything, and 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.800 just to him, but on he's going in there head strong. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.960 He's about to blow Zeke up. I'll go I would 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.080 have let him up. But when we get the pads 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.560 going on and Zeke gets that forward lead rolling, is 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.080 he going to fill that hole with the same ferocity 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:32.800 that he had when they were just in short. So 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.840 that that that part of the game is definitely a 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.960 big difference. But but that first day when you get 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.920 those pads on, I mean, it seems like no matter 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.720 if you're you're a rookie or if you're in your eighth, ninth, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.880 or tenth year, I mean you're you're that first day's 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.920 kind of always that excitement. It's that all man, we 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.760 got pads on, we get to pop a little bit. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.160 I can't wait to get out there. But once you're 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.880 in your veteran years, it's that second third and fourth 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.600 padded practice in the row that you're like, man, that 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.200 take these pads up off me. But that first day 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.280 you're all, he's gonna be excited about it, and you 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.080 get your little inside run, you get to pop a 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.880 little bit here and there. But I will say there's 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.640 always that one guy for each team, that one guy 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.600 that's just that's just a tone setter, that's just like, man, look, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.440 we're all gonna be brother in law and today we're 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.200 just gonna be tagging off when we get in the hole. 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.680 But there's always that one gay that like just goes od, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.800 that just just treats every practice like it's a game scenario. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:22.800 And for Matt when when I was there, d Mac, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:23.960 I don't know if it was the same for you, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.400 but it was de Marco Murray like no matter what, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.280 no matter what was going on, we could be half 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.720 walked through with pads on. This guy's lowering his shoulder 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.520 and lower in the head trying to run through people. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.160 So that there's always that one tone setter for each 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.320 team that just he just don't matter what he's going 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.160 o d with the pads on. But old like I, 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.360 like Danny said, can't wait to get it cracking. See, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.880 I promise, I promise. Right when you finished, I was 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.520 about to say, I remember when y'all used to be 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.560 tearing the marco coming through the hole. I'm talking about 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.720 lifting him, about lifting him up his feet and all that. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.240 So I don't want to hear nothing about him being 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.720 the tone setter. Y'all was out there and they embarrassed 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.640 that man. So then he started dropping his should on 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.280 everybody that he could, after y'all knocked him on his 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.840 ass a couple of times. So now it's it's always 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.000 some guys, all right in churches, churches. One of those 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.200 guys who knew he was he was a sacred cow, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.160 all right. So after here we go, after the first 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.400 and second padd in practice, he was like, look already, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.280 got my spot. I'm good, Get these pads off of me. 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.000 The difference between him and the guys that are out 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.680 there now is they spotted on the line. So they 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.320 need to take take advantage of every opportunity that they 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.320 can to show that they're gonna get out there and 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.600 strike somebody, because it could be they lasting. They might 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.240 not be on the roster room. They don't. Zach Martin 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.480 as well, he was another dude that just was od 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.360 when it came to the pads, you would pull it. 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.160 He would be pulling. Guards were like, all right, we're 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.080 just gonna we're gonna get this little thud up here 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.160 so I can set the edge. Man. There's just number 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.160 of times he just ran through me like it was 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:51.800 just a train, Like I was just a hay bill 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.080 on a train track or something like. That's another guy 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.840 that od when it came to pass. Man. All right, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.520 So so now I want the truth that this is 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.600 why people tune into the play as lines right here 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.760 on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Tell me, each of you 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.120 in Church, you go first. Who was somebody who looked 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.719 good in the underwear Olympics, But when the pass came on, 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.000 they worked that guy. They've worked that guy. You're gonna 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.440 put me all blow both of you. You're tight. You're 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.200 both tight. Now I want names. I want names. Go ahead, Church, 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.840 Oh man, I'm gonna go ahead, but say this because 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.480 I think y'all would agree with me for the most part. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.960 But I think the dude that was like, man, who 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.040 is like this dude came out? Man? Who is this 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.800 guy running a rock crazy? He's cutting on the dimes. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.760 Who is this guy? And I would have to say 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.960 it would be Joseph Randall. He was a running back 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:49.640 for us, you know, the guy. He was another guy 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.960 he like when when the when the pads were off 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.879 and were just in shorts, he was routing people up, 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.040 cutting people this way and that way. But when the 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.440 pass came, oh, it was just it was just a 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.240 little bit of just a drop off. Not mador but 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:00.960 just a little bit of a d But since you 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.800 put me on a spot, that's that's who I chose 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:07.439 as my as my situation. Then running back out of 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.520 Oklahoma State, the guy who said when DeMarco Murray left it, 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.720 he left a lot of meat on the bone. That yeah, 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:18.000 he was talking a lot. He was talking about DeMarco 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.600 won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. So 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.160 and when he got his opportunity to beat the number 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:28.760 one guy, it did didn't last very well. And now 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.679 and they gave and they gave him a plenty of shots, 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.800 all right, he gave plenty of shots. My listen, my 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.240 guys gonna be fourth round pick coming out of I 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.680 forgot what school it was like Independent university or something 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:48.160 like that. My man, No, not do not listen, not 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:52.960 because he wouldn't. Yeah, it was a part of your fraternity, wasn't. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:57.840 He knew it. Yeah, but but listen, let me do this. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.240 Not from the standpoint of like he was scared to 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.720 get out there and make the play. It just didn't 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.440 translate to him actually making as many plays. And it 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.280 looked like he would when we were in shorts and shirts, 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.199 like he was out there looking like a straight monster, fast, 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.560 can jump, he was quick, taking the right angles and 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.600 all that when we were in just passing shorts, and 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.000 then you see it when you get out there on 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.560 the field. It was just a little bit different. Sometimes 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.439 it didn't like you have enough weight behind him to 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.720 make some of those tackles, and you know, he kind 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.960 of floated around a little bit. But that's still my guy. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.800 But my honest opinion is that's that's how I remember. 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.480
