Hello, Everson, Hello, 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.880 can you hear me? Am? I delayed too too badly. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.880 You're doing just fine, just fine, Just hang right in there. 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.040 Well thanks guys. All right, see before we probably wouldn't 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.160 have figured out how to do this with him, not 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.800 with us, but before the pandemic, and yeah, we figured 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.760 out how to even even if you were away, you 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.480 can still be a part of the show. So as 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.160 long as he's got WiFi. Yeah, all right, Mickey, Yes, 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.360 I have WiFi and guess what else. Guess what else? 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.479 I am about to try and watch the show and 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.840 be honest at the same time if I I don't 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.120 know if I can do it. Everson Walls is multitasking 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.479 as we speak. Yes, make sure you mute the show though, Yeah, 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.280 you gotta make yeah, make sure that you're volume on 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.400 whatever you're watching it on your iPad or whatever all 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.360 the way. Yeah, all right, So Mickey gets us up 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.120 to speed on what we know as of one h 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.160 two on a Monday after the Cowboys Texans is we 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.240 enter the final week of training camp. Really got five 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.919 more cuts to make tomorrow, got to get to eighty 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.880 so who knows they may do it at some point 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.360 today or although yeah, last week they waited until three 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.200 o'clock men on Tuesday afternoon to make that. I wonder 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.760 if I wonder if you wait till then tomorrow if 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:28.320 you're practicing, like, oh yeah, don't practice and get somebody hurt, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.400 that right, And that could be the difference there, because 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.480 you'll call last week there, we had the Monday night 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.119 practice and so they've got one more look at those 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.799 players and see where they are. Make sure everybody gets 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.560 through that practice. Okay, tomorrow. You know in anybody that 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.400 you think you're gonna cut pull a hamstring, but it 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.640 is a morning practice tomorrow, right, Yeah, I guess. Yeah, 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.000 so you might as well wait and make sure not 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.840 if you know they're gone. Yeah, that's true, because you 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.480 never know who somebody's got, Oh my hamstring, my hamstring, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.680 and I need an injury settlement. You go, that's a 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.720 great point, yes, everyson. Now, what I was gonna say was, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.080 you know, we never really talk about what the players 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:14.160 are feeling when they know that cut is coming. You know, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.840 when cut day is coming, it's uh, you know a 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.760 little bit discerning for the players that know that they're 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.360 kind of on the chopping block. Right. I remember being 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.600 a free agent, me and Michael Downs. We're in the 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.360 same room together, not drafted. We have all these twenty 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.160 five rookies back there with us, also looking not looking 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.920 forward to the cut date. And you know, when the 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.560 knock is coming on the door, do they still knock 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.200 on the door when they went training camp? Did they 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.720 still come knock on the door and ask for the 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.760 ask for the playbook? We have technology now, Everson, they 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.920 could just text you to coach McCarthy wants to see it, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.000 but at least they won't say they don't. They want 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.560 to text you and that you've just been cut. Yeah, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.280 don't go back, just bring your Yeah. But you know, 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.600 you know what it means when you get that text though, right, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.000 that's the knock. It's still the knock. So that's what 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.440 I think it's so bad. I remember being in bed 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.080 because they would come early in the morning and you 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:23.480 knew when the cut was coming, and I was literally 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.480 trying to go to sleep because you can hear the 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.880 knocks coming down the hallway, right, I mean you're in 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.320 the rookie door, so knocks is coming down the hallway 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.479 and you're hoping that. It's almost like in the Bible, right, Bill, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.440 you know you gotta put the blood on the rams, 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:44.160 blood on the door, right, Yeah, and hope hope they passed. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.680 You hope it passes. You know, you hope it passes. Oh. Man, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.480 such a feeling, such a feeling. Man. Yeah, you didn't 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:57.200 want to see Bruce Mays walking down the hallway, right. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.560 So other than that, Um, you know, I think we 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:06.200 got a lot to talk about because after that preseason game, Um, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.479 you know, I think we have a backup quarterback controversy, Yes, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.560 we do, or at least a competition that's real, right. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.600 You know, this franchise has been known for quarterback controversies 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.279 going back, um well at least at least a nineteen 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.760 Stock and Morton, but probably before that too. And now 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:31.360 now you can go even further. Yes, uh and Tetle right, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:40.680 Eddie LeBaron and ed Yeah. Um, and so now we've 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.640 got a backup quarterback controversy. Well, I mean, what do 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.080 you think, because um, you know, Cooper Rush looked awfully 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.760 good and they really hadn't had a chance to see 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.880 him that much because he first had the back issue, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.720 he missed practice in training camp, and then he had 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.680 the shoulder ding and he missed practice, and so they're 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.400 they're were intent on getting him more reps in the 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.080 first half than he had been previously. And you know, 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.680 after two series they brought him in and you know, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.200 he played pretty well and you know, I don't know 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.520 if Gilbert took a step back or whatever, but it'll 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.479 be interesting to see tomorrow how they divvy up the 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.600 snaps if Dak is not in there right away with 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.080 the first team when they go to team and see 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.520 if they give Cooper Rush some of those because Gilbert's 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.680 got them all so far, so so we'll be be 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.680 able to tell who's the first guy up after Dak. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.240 You would think so, right, or at least they want 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.840 to They want to see, right, And I think they 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.560 need to explore it because, you know, again, if you 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.080 don't have a clear cut winner, then you don't have 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.680 anybody you're really you know, sink your teeth into and 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.599 you might have to keep both just to be sure 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.720 that you got one. And ever Sinema, before you chime 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.440 in on this, I want to ask Mickey one more 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.120 question about that. Now. You talked with Mike McCarthy before 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.200 the game. It was Uncountdown to kick off on the 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.760 pregame show, and I know that the plan was to 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.280 use Gilbert and Rush in the first half. Right. Do 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.400 you think that the plan was two series for Gilbert 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.600 and then Rush or the Because I like what they saw. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.440 As it turned out, Rush got in basically midway of 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.679 the first quarter. I think they the plan was to 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:31.040 get him more than Gilbert in that first half, maybe 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.200 get him some with some of the guys on that 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.800 first team offense, which is only fair right, and I 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.520 think he took advantage. I think he took advantage, you know, 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:45.720 and from Gilbert standpoint, you know, I understand what happened. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.080 But again, when you step up in the pocket like that, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.120 you got to know that the clock's ticking. You got 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.560 to get rid of the ball. You can't be looking 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.480 around and still holding onto it. And once you step up, 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.760 the ball's got to come out. And he hung onto 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.600 the ball and you get a stripped sack and it 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.800 leads to a touchdown. So that was not gonna get 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:11.400 You know, you can't blame you just can't blame him. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.560 Blame it all. You know how it comes to a sack. 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.880 It's all about the lineman and the quarterback working together. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.600 I think the flash of on rushing players coming in, 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.240 you know how it is, the quarterbacks get like a 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.880 deer in headlights. He saw it coming and he just 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.560 really didn't have a way out. He kind of panicked 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.520 while he stepped in. And you know that happens with 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.320 a lot of quarterbacks. But it always looks bad for 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.360 you as a quarterback when you're trying to establish yourself 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.959 and here and the timing is bad. Now right, he 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.800 comes in, he gives up a sack. His stats weren't 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.800 all that good. It didn't see him impress you in 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.040 any way. And all of a sudden, the Cooper Rush 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.400 comes in and he balls out. So the timing is 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.640 really bad in regards to Garret Gilbert. But how seriously 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.520 do the coaches take his lack of initiative in his 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.040 first couple of series. Well, I think if you listen 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.920 to Mike McCarthy after the game, he didn't seem too 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:17.200 enthused about Gilbert's performance. And again, my point is, when 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.680 you step up in the pocket like that, you got 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.760 to assume someone's coming from behind right, and that's what 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.800 got him. And then the thing that that Cooper Rush did. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.400 Number one, the touchdown passed to Cedric Wilson in the 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.240 back of the end zone. That's a heck of a 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.240 not only a heck of a read, because he explained 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.880 afterwards that he knew he was getting one on one 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.120 into the back of the end zone. And number two, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.520 it was a heck of a throw. And then on 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.840 the screen passed the Pollard for the touchdown. They blitzed, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.800 and they blitzed right into the screen. And the neat 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:01.400 thing that happened there was that Pollard chipped the guy 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.280 that was blitzing and then got out in the fist side. Yeah, 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.840 And he got out in the flat and opened himself 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.560 up for Cooper Rush to throw him the pass. And 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.680 then you know, the offensive lineman did a heck of 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:18.840 a job getting out in space, Zach Martin Tyler Beads, Yeah, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.240 to get him into the end zone. So you know, 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.480 you got to give him credit for you know what, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.040 did he have ten of twelve I think completions? That 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.719 was pretty good. So I just think it's going to 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.840 give them something to think about. And the other thing 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.520 about it, as far as Cooper Rush, who's concerned the Texans. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.680 When you look at who is going up against, the 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.120 Texans still had first teamers in the game, so it 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.920 was a good gauge of It wasn't like he was 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.280 doing it against their backups. And really, when you look 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.800 at the makeup of the Texans roster, what they did 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.600 in the off season, they acquired a lot of veteran 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.000 guys who are basically making the veteran minimum and so 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.360 they are experienced guys in the league. It wasn't like 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.040 he was going up against rookies who aren't going to 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.000 be playing in this league, and so I think it 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.480 was a good gauge for for what Cooper Rush can do. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.280 And I think the other tipping point was they left 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.120 those first team other than Tyron Smith, they left the 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.840 rest of the first team offensive lying in there for 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.760 him to work behind. So yeah, well we'll see where 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.520 that one goes. And then just keep your catch a 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:29.360 waiver wire. Can't you see how important this time is 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:35.120 for Polote. You just see him getting even better and better, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.679 learning the defense more and more. He is going to 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.800 be one of the most capable backups in the NFL 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.720 this year. He is going to be extremely important to us, 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.640 especially towards the beginning of the season because you know, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.520 let's be real, Dak and Zeke, they're going to be 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.480 a little bit rusty during the first part of the season. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:04.680 And this the really consistent players and consistent ones that 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.800 showed up, Guys like Pollard, guys like be honest, you know, 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.120 those players are the ones that you're going to see. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.920 They're going to kind of carry the baton a little 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.720 bit more than you would want them to doing the 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.840 regular part the first part of the season because they've 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.679 gotten the most work well, and I think there's a 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.240 lot of fans out there who think that Pollard should 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.560 have been getting more work to begin with. But but 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.600 you can see how Pollard will be used more than 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.880 he was. It only natural because he's making progressions in 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.079 his career and now in his third year, there's more 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.240 of a confidence level that he can pick up a blitz, 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.400 he can do he can do things, and it makes 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.360 Zeke all the more fresh as he goes deeper into game. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.800 And I think the other thing you will see you 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.640 will not see it in preseason is them lining up 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.160 Zeke and Pollard at the same time. I think he'll 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.280 see some of that, and a lot of that is 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.240 because both of all that would be nice. Both of 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.800 them are threats in the past game. I mean, you 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.280 could you can line up either Pollard or Zeke in 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.360 the slot if you want to, and they can run 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.640 routes from the slot exactly. Now. The other thing, and 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:21.200 it's what I wrote about after the game Saturday night, 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.679 was the best thing I saw in that on that 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:31.240 night was Dak Prescott's workout prior to the team came out. 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.000 All right, let me hold you on that. We're going 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.120 forty five minutes.

We got through a 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.840 flawless week. We thought Mickey had spit the whole offseason 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.359 working on his man skills, and now it's it feels 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:10.680 like we're we're in regular season form already, and where 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.640 where I'm telling you? You can't do that? All right? 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.840 The most important thing that happened on Saturday night at 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.600 AT and T Stadium. What was it, Mickey? It was 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:25.199 Dak Prescott's one hour workout one hour, one hour, and 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:30.560 he spent nearly twenty minutes, maybe thirty minutes doing his 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:36.160 rehab for his ankle, doing the on the chords, off 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:41.639 the chords, side step, lunges, high steps, you name it. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:48.080 He worked these fifteen yard exercises with Britt Brown for 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.359 nearly a half hour. It worked up a good sweat, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.080 and then he went to the throwing session. Now we 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.200 got to the important and for about thirty minutes, he 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:04.359 threw to TJ. Vasher who's still on physically unable to 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:09.720 know he's on non football injury and zeke He threw 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:16.359 pass after pass after pass, right around fifty passes scripted. 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.480 Doug nust Meyer had the script in his hand. He 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:26.120 was throwing out in stops, h swing passes, even dropping 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.200 back under center and handing the ball off to zeke 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.720 H and everything was flawless. He had no problems throwing 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:39.199 the football, showed no sign of any problem with the 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.960 strained muscle, the lat muscle that has kept him out 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:48.679 of the competitive part of practice. Throwing since July twenty eighth, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.000 I believe the date was and U and only one 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:57.120 ball hit the ground. And as Mike McCarthy said, yeah, 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.680 that was that wheel route that Dak didn't run or 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:04.040 Zeke didn't run right, But other than that, every pass 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.560 was right on the money. Now, it didn't throw any 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.520 nine routes, like throw it thirty forty yards, but you 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.399 know when you're running the uh twenty yard out that 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.720 that's a probably a thirty yard pass. So what this was, 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.520 it was like a pro day workout for Dak Press 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.639 exactly what it was, and just a longer version of it. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.160 And the only thing that was missing, able to see, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.720 able to watch all of that, it was before that. 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.080 That's why I thought it was so important to point 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.720 that out. Uh. And the only thing that was missing 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.720 was a pass rush. Although at a couple of times 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.520 the guys that were helping them did kind of cross 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.600 the line of scrimmage with their hands up in the air. 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.919 They just kind of tried to distract. They have the 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:53.320 broomsticks out, No, they didn't have the broomsticks out. That's 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.800 the that's the basketball, that's the basketball. But it's a 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:01.160 matter of fact that briefly back to UM, I think 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.240 Missouri was gonna play Houston. I think they were playing here. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.280 We go here and practice, and in practice they were 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:14.000 using broomsticks up in the air to simulate somebody that 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:22.240 was seven. Yeah, absolutely, But anyway it was it was 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.040 he threw more in that workout than he would have 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.520 if he took snaps in the game, because if he 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.520 took snaps in the game, he might have thrown ten passes, 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.360 so that through fifty. So they should have charged separate 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.960 admission and someone could have come in and see, that's 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:45.119 what I was gonna say. You loved that, Oh my gosh. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:49.440 So here's an idea. I got an idea for Sunday morning. Okay. 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:54.000 We advertised the stadium tours, okay, and so you've got 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.960 a pre game before the gates open. This is to 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.680 watch the Dak workout. It's a stadium too, and you 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.679 can charge high dollars. That means about ten o'clock in 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.360 the morning, nine thirty. You need to got to coordinated 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.880 with Dak. Right where Dak, when are you coming out? Well, 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.480 if they opened the gates at ten, then Dak needs 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.679 to go ahead and do his workout between nine and 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.840 ten and we've got the Dak Stadium tour. There you go, there, 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.800 you need to do that. But again, Dax got to 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.000 get his cut. Now, he's got to get his cut. 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.320 But again he threw me he's already got his cut. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:33.280 He threw more passes in that workout, yeah, right, than 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.199 he had if he had played in the game. And 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.640 as Jerry Jones said on the pregame show that if 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.719 this was Tampa Bay tonight, Dak Prescott would have been 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.879 the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and maybe they 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.360 should have invited in Adam Schefter. Who's okay, Okay, Mick 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.440 created That's where I was headed right there. I was going, 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.240 That's what I was going. So Mickey's not buying the 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.639 report that there's gonna be issues as the season goes along. 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.440 You know, anytime you're coming back from an injury, can 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.840 always have issues. But let's not act like the issues 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.840 are going to hamper him when he takes the field 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:12.360 against Tampa. The only issue he might have is just 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.040 getting in the swing of things looking down the field. 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.920 But I guarantee you they've got how many days now 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:23.800 before that open seventeen, and they're probably gonna get five 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:30.040 to six ten practices in and if he gets in 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.760 against team, he'll start to see that stuff. They still 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.000 have the opportunity, doesn't have to play in a game, 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.879 but they still have the opportunity to play against the 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:44.400 Cowboys defense. So I have a question, Uh, what in 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.320 the heck is Adam getting his information from number one? 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.159 And I also have to want to ask the answer 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:59.080 this as well, spags Um is da being patient with 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.000 this plan? Those are the two things I want that 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.520 we're gonna find. We're gonna find out tomorrow night on 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:10.160 the Hard Knocks, right, They're they're making him be They're 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:14.159 making him be patient with this plan. And as Jerry 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:18.720 went on to say, uh, if if, if we're gonna, 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.640 if we're gonna try to keep him at rest, then 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:27.320 let's double down on the rest. So they're being more 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.760 cautious than I think they really need to be to 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:35.480 try to make sure that this doesn't reoccur. Uh, And 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.600 I don't know where and see, if this was a 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:43.680 big story, then then what should have happened is ESPN 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:48.040 writes a big story. But this was just said my 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:52.040 understanding in passing in an interview, and then later that 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:56.640 night or the next morning. ESPN writes a story quoting 0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:01.960 sources saying that Dak's ready to go. So I think, 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:06.720 you know, got the twitter verse all fired up. But again, yes, 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:12.240 my information was this was a two to three week deal. 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.200 They're on four weeks almost four weeks now, I think 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.160 are going on four weeks, and that it was a 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:23.159 mild strain. If there's grades one, two, and three, with 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:25.879 one the least and three of the most, his was 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:30.360 a one. Okay, So have you said all you need 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:34.160 to say that? Okay? What was the second biggest thing 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:38.040 that happened on seventy two? Thousand people showed up. It 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:42.000 was a big crowd. It was announced seventy two and 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:44.560
