I got lost, 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.400 to be honest with you, day at a time, many 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.840 man Jason Garrett taught me that I thought, Nick, I 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.280 thought you were going to send out that email to 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.240 the team to let them know what the schedule was. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.800 Why am I letting everybody in the air knowing Dave 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.040 doesn't even know. No, Dave doesn't know I send it out. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.760 I just didn't send it to you. Oh yeah, they 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.800 look on days spaces like that happened really? Okay, yeah, yeah, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:28.760 sure that happened. He's everybody, all our producers, all of 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.959 our producers over the sand. I never got will It 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.000 was like he didn't send an email. Just play along, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.560 all right, Let's jump into this thing. Man. It's eight 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.760 practice now, it's okay. We can make sure that's sure 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.480 that Now everybody on the team can listen to the 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.840 break and they can get the schedule for the next week. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.079 We have eight practices done out here. We got four 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.079 more to go before the Cowboys in training camp. Let's 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.200 start first school. We always start. I want some observations 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.160 from you guys. What did you see in the last practice? 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.560 Each of you give me an observation. Let's start with you, Dave. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.320 After that, that was a long off day. I feel 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.720 like like, I mean, that's a nice off day. I 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.600 gotta remind myself what happened on Sunday? Was it Sunday? Yeah? 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.079 That would have been Sunday? Okay, I mean, ja, do 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.800 we have to spend a lot of time on ceedee lamb, 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.360 good god? Yeah. You can just say CD had a 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.280 great catch. You can do it every day. He could. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.560 I think it was. It was within the last week 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.680 that I was like, yeah, you know, he's he's a 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.680 great player and he's fun, but like he's you know, 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.560 eighty eight he lays does he is he doing death 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.960 stuff out here? Every Yeah he is. I did. I 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.320 wasn't sure that that was the thing a week ago maybe, 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.079 but he does it every damn day. Man. He does 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:35.960 something fun every time we go out there. So I'm 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.120 sure if you're listening to this, you've probably seen the 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.040 catch that he had the other day. It was super fun. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.320 Um what else jumps out? Oh, Cyrus Mitchell caught like 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.040 eighteen passes the other day. That was like he was 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.160 just the guy, you know, like, yeah, they must have 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.480 liked a match up they saw with him because he 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.000 he was out there doing his thing. Um was it? 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.720 I think it was Durance Armstrong also had a really 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.880 nice day the other day, Um, which he's had a 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.240 lot a few nice Yeah, very quietly putting like you know, 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.080 people people loved You're You're boring by year four? Is 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.640 it already? You're it's your three or four for Dorance? 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.040 This is fourth year for him. People are bored, like 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.080 you know, people are trying to fire him. Because he's 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.520 a fourth year guy and he doesn't have a lot 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.800 of career sacks, but he's making this team. Oh yeah, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.480 he's definitely making the team. And you know we've had 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.680 some people kind of you know, scouts, coaches that tell 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.120 us he's having a really really good camp. Um, we 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.600 ranked him. You know, we did our top fifteen. Um 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.520 play yeah you have it. No I don't have it. Well, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.120 here's what tell you? What do you give me? The 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.440 top five? In the top five is great. This is 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.160 what I love about it is. You know, we were 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.080 talking about and we talked about with a couple of 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.200 scouts and they were like, wow, you know you got CD, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:54.159 you got Gregory Digs Shoults. And I'm like that's good. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.039 That's our top four. So we're not we're not too Yeah, 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.800 we got something figured out. Um. They threw Dorin's Armstrong 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.200 in that group of top five. We had him ten, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.240 I believe on our list. Um, you know other players 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.279 that we had in there for us, if I had 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.560 to remember, were like Kazi, Um he was in there. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:17.640 Who else am I Layden, Vanderesh, Parson, Parsons is I 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.760 think was gamp is having a great camp? And you 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.760 know we we kind of we also look at it 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.680 with expectations too. I mean, Malik Turner, it might be 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.400 seven or eight. We wouldn't have put him in our 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.360 top eighty of players we thought would make the team. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.480 Definitely not right. He would be in the bottom ten, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.719 no chance. But they signed him for a reason, you know. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.800 But but he's he's played well. He's taken advantage of 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.520 the fact that that Cooper's out and also Gallup's been out. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.520 He's got some good reps there. Uh, he's had a 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.080 really really good camp. That's one that was kind of 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:54.360 a surprising one. Um Devil Gallimore was in there. Also 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.640 did Gazoo was in there. Uh, in that like that 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.080 eight nine range. They've they've they've done something. They showed 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.520 some good things. We had iron like eleven Tyrant hasn't 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.840 practiced much, but when he's practiced, he's been pretty good. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.960 Put him on the list. Yeah, he's on the list. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.720 He's out here. I'm just surprised by that. And he's 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.840 out here. Other any other receivers come to mind. I 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.280 don't really think so good and receivers corners are the 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.520 ones that you know, we always him. McEwan got in 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.719 there at fourteen. Yeah, yeah, he's had he's had a 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.600 pretty nice training camp. He's surprising too. You know, you 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.760 just only expect him to get in in that mix, 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.320 I think, And going back to Sunday, I think that 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.320 was maybe the most entertaining practice of the entire training camp, honestly, 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.880 and when when something's entertaining, that means both sides are 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.280 making plays. Um they did a red zone period offense 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.400 versus defense. Defense whipped their ass. They won seven to three. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.560 Kean O'Neill had a nice interception, Treyvon Diggs broke up 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.000 a couple of balls. But it's probably Garrett Gilbert's best 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.440 day of practice too. I don't remember. While he did 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.520 throw an interception in the seven on seven, but in 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.000 team drills he didn't throw any picks. As you know. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.599 Sean McEwan kind of draft jog my memory. He had 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.200 a couple of nice catches on Sunday. Everybody just seemed 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.839 a little bit more comfortable and it was It was 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.560 a very entertaining practice because Saturday and Thursday of last 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.640 week were kind of rough, but Sunday was good. Sunday 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.840 was fun. Only two guys I didn't mention on the list, 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.880 I would say it was Maurice Kennedy and yeah, we 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.480 had him like a twelve. And then also Connor Williams 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.720 has done a nice job. And they're putting Connor in 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.880 different different spots, trying him at center. He's not he's 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.440 not all the way there yet as your backup center, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.680 but I think he's learning and it It kind of 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.760 annoys me when I hear people say, you know, he's 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.280 doing a pretty good job. He's still new to him. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.440 He's gonna pick it up, but he's gonna get it. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.120 So if you would have done this a year and 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.320 a half ago, we sort of talked about it. Well 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.240 they had bigger problems a year ago, right, but he 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.880 should he could have gotten center snaps. You know. Here, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.520 it's like and this has been talked about. I mean 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.800 I even think Chris Bean came up to me last 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.840 year and said, you know, Connor Williams could be playing. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.720 I mean, I think it's been discussed. Yeah, that's never 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.000 been never played him out there. That kind of frustrates me. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.440 Mike McCarthy said, play in the college all American left 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.120 tackle at right tackles Fantasy football nonsense. So I'm never 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.080 gonna forget that. I won't. I won't, I won't do it. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.920 It was insulting anyway, Sorry not to that really first 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.880 I did. It's insulting when somebody calls your very not 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.280 stupid idea stupid and then does it three weeks later, Yeah, 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.160 as though it was their idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.520 I want to get everyone ready ready for the Hall 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.120 of Fame game. Um, first of all, let me let 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.960 me give me an update on kind of what you 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.120 what you think is what you heard from the standpoint 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.360 of who you expect we'll play in this game? You 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.840 expect to see starters? How many of them? Like? What 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.320 are you expecting to see this game? Okay, forget play 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.000 who's gonna go on it? Because I feel like it's 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.640 different now, you know, before you know, with COVID protocols, 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.560 unnecessary risk of like leaving this bubble, going to a 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:05.320 new city, traveling and then it's freaking I mean, between 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.360 the bus ride and the flight, it's a hard travel, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.480 a long trip, and you know some of these guys, 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.640 you know, does Tyron Smith need to sit on a 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.319 plane for four hours if he's not going to play 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.440 in this game? Lyle Colins Zach Martin. Well, that's true. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.400 They are flying in the nice plane, aren't they. They're 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.000 a nice it's all nice, they're all nice plane. But 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.080 they're flying in a very comfortable plane. Yes. Um, I 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.760 still don't know if it's worth it, though, Like I 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.120 bet a decent number of these guys stay behind, and 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.440 then you've got you still have six or seven guys 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.440 on pup like Amari Cooper and DeMarcus Lawrence. They don't 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.360 need to be there, uh So. And I don't know 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:40.840 the answers to this, but I bet a lot of 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.480 these guys are going to stay behind a knox Nard. 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.400 Maybe not a lot, but at least a hand fill. Yeah, 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:50.760 And that's that's another dynamic as well, because not saying 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.400 what these guys are gonna do, but you know, would 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.000 you rather than be in Cleveland and you know, with 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.760 a curfew or here on Wednesday night, you know, no 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.760 practice again until Saturday. Let's be clear, they won't be here. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.760 They will not be here. That'll be so down in 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.400 Malibu or something. So there's a lot of things to 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.400 consider it. And also, you know, just with that with 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.120 that scrimmage there against the Rams, I mean, or whatever, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.080 you're gonna call it a practice on scrimmage, but practice. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.080 But you could kind of see or hear the frustration 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.800 a little bit out of McCarthy the other day when 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.920 he was just talking about it. Now he him and 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.240 Sean McVay agreed to this, so they may it sound 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.560 like he didn't. He wasn't, you know, have a saying this. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.600 It's just that now when you you can say it 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.400 way back in the summer and go, Okay, we're gonna 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.720 play on Thursday, and then we'll come full fly across country, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.920 be back Friday, and then we're gonna scrimmage on or 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.120 practice on Saturday. Well, that all sounds nice and good. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.920 Your injury list is like two guys. Now your injury 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.160 list is and now you're sitting here and it's here 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.160 and your injury list is like twelve fourteen, sixteen guys. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.240 Doesn't sound as good. You got to get through the 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.320 game and then, you know, I talked to John Fossil 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.120 yesterday because I had talked to Joe D. Camillis as well, 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.079 and they were actually trying to connect that Joe T 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.240 was trying to you know, he did. He talked to 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:10.719 Fossil to figuring out what are you guys gonna do? 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.000 How are we gonna practice? We got fourteen minutes to practice, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.280 and Fossil was telling me that sounds nice. I gotta 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.360 see what my guys look like coming back from the game. 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.839 So this is you're just weighing a lot of things here, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.840 and we're gonna find out a lot about this football 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.240 team in the next four or five days. It might be, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.319 as you guys were saying, for some of those vets, 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.440 this might be a nice little break. For those lower guys. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.480 It's gonna be a tough few days because we're gonna 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.080 play a lot of football in these next few days, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.720 and a lot of football, competitive football against other teams 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.640 when you think about it from the standpoint of a game, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.079 and then playing against the Rams. So it's gonna be 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.040 a really tough days for those guys that are trying 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.040 to make that You ever seen that, We've ever seen 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.600 eight days. We've ever seen three different helmets against the 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.080 Cowboys in eight days. Oh us, Mickey, Mickey would let 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.079 us know. I don't know, I don't know. That sounds 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.880 like a lot to me. I mean, just like somebody 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.959 there's gonna be a backup guard or somebody's blocking a Steeler, 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.480 a ram in a cardinal in eight days, it's gonna 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.760 be I mean, and especially at certain positions. So CJ. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.280 Goodwin left practice on Sunday. It didn't look so it 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.679 didn't even happen during the physical part of practice, so 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.680 I think it was probably soft tissue. Josh Ball left 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.679 practice with an ankle issue. So now okay, and so 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.160 now we already you know, Tyren Smith, Lyle Collins, Zackmartin 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.079 probably not going to play in this game, or if 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.640 they do, it would be a very low number of snaps. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.040 So if a Josh Ball's gone or a CJ. Goodwin's gone, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.160 you know the same thing. You know, how many snaps 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.200 is Travon Digs is gonna play? Anthony Brown? Probably not 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.800 a lot. So now hope you're ready, Maurice Kennedy, Kelvin 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.840 Joseph gonna get you shot. I hope you're ready. Terrence 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.960 Steel You're probably gonna play a lot of snaps on 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.320 Thursday night. Who do you think is the best football 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.080 player on this team that's gonna play Thursday Night? Mmm? 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.439 Michael Parsons, Who do you think's the best player that's 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.880 actually played in a game before that's gonna play, Because 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.920 you're right, I think it would be Parsons. Wow, that's 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:02.360 so you're your most established player. I mean, but you 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:07.160 can't sit everyone. You can't sit every starter and still 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.920 try to get think the game. In terms of starters. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.440 The guy that I I think has to play as 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.400 Tyler Beotish, Yeah, he needs reps. I'm not sure Connor 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.240 Williams doesn't get a little bit of rep right, I 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.920 don't think he might have maybe a little bit. He's 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.600 not gonna play very long. I wouldn't think I would 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.400 put you want him to play second team center? Second? 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.880 Oh yeah, yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing that a little bit. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.520 I think other than Mica, my answer to that might 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.040 be Tony Pollard. Honestly, I would assume he'll get on 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.480 how much you're gonna play him at least the series 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.880 or two? Right, Yeah, I mean that's true. He's a 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.600 good football player. He doesn't need to be that. I 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.559 really want to see a lot of him this day. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.720 I hope it's not Tony Pollard. Because Shannon and our 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.120 social team asked me to help with a with a 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.719 pole question, and I said, who's going to lead the 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:58.079 team in rushing Thursday mentioned him, no, and he won't. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.880 Way he's who won. I don't. I don't know who 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.240 won the pull Dottle. Here's the thing we gotta remember too, 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.119 Like we're talking about this in relative terms. These starters, 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.760 they play a full game all season, like, so for 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.319 these young guys to go out and play a full 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.480 game if Dowdle is the only running back that plays 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.280 for them the whole game, or if they have him 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.600 and maybe one other guy. The other guys I can't 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.600 and I'll know their names once they get to a 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.000 point where they're gonna make the team, right, Okay, but 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.960 I know their names. But this is as little as 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.200 I've ever cared about a running back group just in 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.800 this because I mean, it's already done. It seems done 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.840 to me, unless unless they love Nick Ralston so much 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.120 that they just had got to have a full back 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.280 h back. I don't see anybody taking Rico Dowdell's job away, right, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.640 So I mean when I look at that, I'm just like, yeah, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.160 it's I mean, we're talking in relative terms, but these 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:49.920 guys can go out and play a full game. Like 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.040 these young guys can play a full game. They don't 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.280 have to have somebody else spelling them as with the 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.160 you know the language, you know for these young guys, 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:05.240 spin it is that. With that, Ulna Luis said, I'm 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.720 ready to spin it. I just take it that means 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.840 I'm ready to run, ready to roll, ready to whatever. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.360 I actually guess I've never heard somebody say that, but yeah, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.120 I've heard some might say that. He's my Okay, Well, yeah, 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.840 you didn't hear let's what's your boy's name in the 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.760 movie You want to win? Let Booby spin? Like that's 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.840 like I thought it was, you want to win, put 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.040 Booby in? And then he said let Booby spin. I 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.480 didn't hear that. Yeah, that was come on, man, you 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.880 should know that. I should. I just didn't hear that line. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.080 All right here, it was you want to win, put 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.560 Booby in. Shy is gonna lead the team in rushing though, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.400 that's who I think they're gonna he's yeah, he's just 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.720 yahybe let's go shao Alna Louis, all right, here's gonna do.

We're gonna go through the list of rookies, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.760 and I want you guys to tell me for each 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.720 one of them, based on what you thought of them 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.680 right after draft weekend. Are they above, are they at 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.640 or are they below the expectations you have for them?

Let's talk rookies. Let's 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.120 talk about the draft. Cowboys drafted a ton of players 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.159 this last year, and coming out of the draft, I 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.000 think there was a general consensus that the Cowboys at 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:52.360 least did a fairly decent job on Draft Day. At 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.239 least they addressed a lot of the issues that they 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.320 needed to address. We'll see where it all lands. But 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.960 what I want to do is I want you guys 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.800 in your minds to go back to the Sunday following 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.840 the draft, and I want you to think about the 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.879 expectations that you had for each of these players based 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.800 upon where they were selected and what you thought of 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.879 them going into the draft, and then I want you 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.080 to tell me, based on the things you've seen in OTAs, 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.159 the things you've seen out here at training camp, have 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.160 they been above, have they met or are they below 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.720 the expectations that you had for them at this point 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.840 in their careers? Very early? I know that, but let's 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.080 just get a grade, right. So let's start first with 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:30.240 the first round pick, Michael Parsons. This is gonna sound bad, 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.560 but like, this is this is what I expected, honestly. 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.080 And I think I can say that because I was 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.520 kind of one of those guys that was onto this 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.480 pick even before they drafted him. I when I watched him, 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.679 I didn't see anybody really blocking him, and I said it, well, 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:50.160 let's see, he's not going up against Northwestern and Purdue 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.720
