WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Catching Up 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.240 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:13.280 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Nick 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.640 Shot screaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.680 And the Official Dallas Cowboys APT And. 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:25.759 Now your hosts Mickey Spagnola, Everson Wolves, Nate Newton, and 0:00:26.079 --> 0:03:17.400 Bill jonestssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.320 And then we'll get the average. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.680 Well, I feel like there's a pretty good tempo. I 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.520 think there's a good competition. I think the coaches are 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.760 doing a good job of regulating the situations and really 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.440 putting these guys in in in different environments and to 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.160 where they have to respond based upon whatever situation, strategy, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.800 situation they're in. Down the distance, you know, a number 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.280 of timeouts, you know, field of possession, you know they 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:29.680 had I think that towards the end of practice they 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.359 had a little situation where they had points, a point 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.080 system going on between defense scores, so many points if 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.639 the you know, if they if they have a four nine, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.200 you know, fourth down hold versus a field goal or 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:39.880 whatever it may be. So I think the guys are 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.200 responding well. Nobody's out here being reckless. That's one of 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:44.760 the things I know that as former players that we 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.400 look for these guys, you know, taking care of each other, feeding, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.400 making sure they have their fits, make sure they're punching 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.320 the ball out on defense, you know, ball security on offense, 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.560 and you don't want to see guys on the ground. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.359 But overall, I think it's been. 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.680 Pretty well, except for a couple of couple of balls 0:02:58.680 --> 0:02:59.760 that didn't make it through the goal. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.600 Post man, and we will get to that. I bring 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.440 up that right there, man, he kick it. But I 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.880 was impressed because this is the fourth day where the 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.720 temple was good. Normally, you the first few days is 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.359 real shabby, you know, and then the coaches have to 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.760 get on them to pick it up, pick it up, 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.000 and by the time the scrimmage come, the temple will 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.280 be a little bit better. Well, this temple has been 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.360 holding pretty steady and pretty consistent, and I like that. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.080 Now the first few days our offense, I'm like, WHOA. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.400 I was taken back because normally the defense takes over early. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.360 But it's reversed and our defense is starting to really 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.280 clamp down. So I had a few talks with a 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.600 couple of defensive guys. I said, did y'all go at 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.480 their players? They said nah, they said, as these guys 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.880 get comfortable and this guys see where the competition coming from. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.760 Guys are starting to pick up their games. Now, Isaiah said, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.360 it wasn't wasn't reckless. I think we had one guy 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.680 that you know, went out of line. I can't think 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.600 of what it was and he almost had a hissy 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.640 fit if you can say that on air. But you 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.320 know what mistakes happened, Isaiah, he just bumped into it. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.000 Well I don't know if you call it a bump, but. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.840 He bumped into him. Jimmy would have say, hey, that's 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.560 just hey, that's just a third up. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.200 You know, almost got only one fight in my entire career, 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.880 and it was something like that. It was from a 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.480 safety by the name some dude by the name of 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.360 Roy Williams. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.040 Shot in practice almost I saw Red Mick. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.640 And they always seem to do it with a number 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:34.040 that you have to look up the name, right, poor 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.560 young guys, the dude. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.440 The dude feeling that pressure. Man, the competition is so 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.320 great at safety and that d lineman where you're gonna 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.920 see guys taking shots on quarterbacks. You're gonna see guys 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.280 taking shots at receivers. You're gonna see it. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.120 I tell you what what has impressed me is how 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.800 competitive it's been. And you mentioned how the offense got 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.440 off to a good start the defense start catching up. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.360 But for the last couple of practices, I think it's 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.160 been both way. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.200 You see the offense play well and at the same 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.800 time the defense play well. So if I'm the head coach, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.080 I'm happy about that, except for the head coaches, the 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.320 offensive coordinator. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.240 See the thing about it with the offense, you got 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.000 guys that are flashing big this year. You know the 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:21.680 Brook kid, he's flashing big, A young I can't think 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:26.920 of it's bast he's doing Okay, richardson the other guard, 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.640 the draft it, they're doing it. They're just showing flashes. 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.920 But it's no consistency. The defense is starting to roll 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.520 and it's consistent. It's consistent, and we know number eleven. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.200 Thanks to you, we can't even get at one out 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.400 of every three plays is a blow up because of 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.160 you stop it and. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.880 You can't really you can't really evaluate the tackles right, 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.240 thank you, because he's doing that to everybody across the league. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.919 He's making their job easier when the preseason game show right, yes, sir, yes, sir, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.120 other people are gonna look like they're moving this low motion. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.080 Because you're trying to sit and evaluate where Tyron Smith 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.920 is right, you know, because it's been a while, Sey, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.039 and it's been at left tackle right, you know, even 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.640 though he's done it for all these years. You know, 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:15.320 he missed two thirds of the season, maybe three quarters 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.440 of the season last year. No, no, you know, missed 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.360 at the end of training camp and then he gets 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.159 back and he plays right tackle, and so now he's 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.200 back at left tackle. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.840 And to me, part of this. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.200 Training camp was to see can he handle left tackle 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:30.880 right right? 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.880 You know, he's the thirteenth season. Is he ready to 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:34.200 do that? 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.720 Because otherwise you got to put Tyler Smith out there, 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:42.520 and he's been fine except for those rushes from Parsons right, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:43.960 and then you're sitting there going. 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.560 But again he does that to everybody. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.160 The thing that is the thing as an offensive player, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.680 and the thing that I've been coached by Tony Wise 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.640 and Hussein Hawkin, guys such as that ill is when 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.440 we play against great players like that are pright against 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.040 the Charles Haley or Leon Lett that had exception of 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:08.359 long lawns, you know, and coach technique. You still have 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.400 to trust in your technique, and now that never give up. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.960 That's why it really kicks in. You got a technique 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.040 techniquet finished. Even though these guy's blowing by you one 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.680 hundred miles, you still gotta know that technique, technique technique, 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.400 get your hands on him and fight as best you can, because, 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.200 like Isaiah said, once you get those guys are one 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.640 in every fifteen, so you ain't gonna play with them 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.360 guys maybe twice a year. So you just got to 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.840 be trust in your technique, all right. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:41.800 The kickers, I think that caused everybody to kind of 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.600 taken back that they had that bad of a day 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.000 after they've been. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.480 Great, after they've been great. Bruh. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.000 I mean the young well, he's not a young kid 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.520 his first year, he's a rookie. Brandon Aubrey probably has 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.000 been the most consistent of the two with Tristan Viscayano, 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:05.800 and both guys just struggled. Now I understand what they did. 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.080 They made them kick into the wind, and it was 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.680 towards you, guys, where you were sitting when you're on 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.560 the field, you don't feel the wind, but up there 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:19.440 in those trees, it swirls and and they were consistently 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:20.239 missing left. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.000 I think I saw one miss right. I think it 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.600 was off of the upright. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.800 But everything was left and and Aubrey missed and we 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.320 were left and you were left right. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:30.080 Yeah. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.240 Yeah, Aubrey missed his first. It was a it was 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.920 a extra point basically thirty three yards. Uh when they 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.600 and then he made six, five of the last six 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.560 of the last seven, so he he kind of got 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.480 it back together. But then when they did thunder, which 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.880 is they run out there in a hurry, killing right 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.240 with no no with the clock running and time running 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.920 out in the pieriod, he struggled and he was the 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.920 only one that made. They were one of six. He 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.240 was one of three, and this Guyano was z of three. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.600 And it was like, oh my, And I think that 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.760 got the attention maybe of the front office. It's like, okay, 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.320 we got to see what happened if they kicked today. 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.960 We got to see how they come back. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.679 Because in that part of it, you got you have 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.439 a bad day, now, can you correct yourself? 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.920 Yeah? You gotta be able to bounce back. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:31.240 I mean, but at the end of the day, first 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.520 of all, let us apologize because I know from where 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.640 Nate and I were sitting along with Bill Johnson Kyle 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.960 we we didn't have the TV shot, so apparently on 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.720 the live stream they had it overhead. So if we 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.400 were up there guessing in terms of how far the 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:43.839 field goal was, right, we didn't have. 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.000 The great perspective. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.280 But in terms of that competition, it's not what you 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.720 want to see. Man, you think about it from an 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.640 office of perspective. You know, as a former quarterback, receiver, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.000 tight end, whatever you want to call me, you're all 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.280 about moving those chains and everything you're doing is trying 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.680 to get the ball down into scoring position. Now, you 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.000 like to walk away with six, right, and like, obviously 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.760 that's that's that's your goal as an offense. But sometimes 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.880 you gotta take the three. But when you get in 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.600 that position, you expect the three. You're not hoping for 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.880 the three. You don't want to wish the three. You 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.640 expect the three. And for somebody that's in there banging 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.200 every dog on play there with the big fellas working 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.080 their way down the line of screens. I know that 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.560 you want to walk away with some points. Otherwise all 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.920 that work you just did was for nothing. 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.280 I just you know, I don't believe in curses and 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.880 all spells and all of that, but it's something about 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.240 that goal post down there. It ruined like four kickers 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.920 last year this year. You know, best to side with 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.960 the Cowboys after they break training camp. If you go 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.200 to that field goal you do, it's over. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.720 So when they when they initially kicked there, they were 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.760 supposed to kick seven. Uh, Viscayano got an extra one 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.040 because the snap would and by the way, some of 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.920 those snaps weren't very good from sick Is. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:58.640 That how you say it? 0:10:59.120 --> 0:10:59.800 I don't know, man. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.920 He had one that came out the snap came in flat, 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.480 and uh, I know, as a kicker you've got to 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:11.160 be able to kick right regardless. But it came in flat. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:15.280 The hold was late and it it so they gave 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.000 him another one. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.000 So the operation was bad. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:17.920 Yeah, the operation. 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.360 And then during the thunder part, uh, he had one 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.960 that was real high to Aubrey and it threw him off. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:27.880 So so the. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.400 First a long snapper desks, well he's got it. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.440 And this is a new operation, right, new kicker and 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.240 new new deep snapper. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.000 The only thing the same is the anger as the holder. Yeah. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:45.280 So the first series of kicks, they were between thirty 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.160 three and forty eight. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.360 You're talking about all together not not cluing the end zone. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.720 Yeah, thirty three yards and forty eight yards. That was 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.000 the range. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.160 So miss So Aubrey was five of seven and this 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.120 Guyana was four of eight. And then when they did 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.720 the thunder, they each had a couple that were fifty 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:12.720 yards and they Aubrey tried to power one through and 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.040 he and he hit like I'm gonna kick this harder. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.559 All of them had distance. It's like one right, as 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.120 I remember, I think one of them came up. The 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.079 rest of them had plenty of it. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.439 They had distance, but they were going left right, and 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.840 I when I was talking somebody, it's like, well, okay, 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.439 but then you got to adjust, you know, you know 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:35.120 where the ball's going. Although it's like, I mean, what 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.320 little I play golf. If you sit there and you 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.800 try to play the wind, and then when you try 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:40.720 to play the wind on. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.559 Wind is it there? And then you overcompensate. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.920 So like old schoo outfit or make you got grass 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:46.320 and grass. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:49.160 Uh. 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.440 So I think if they kicked today or if they 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.000 wait till tomorrow, we got to see a rebound. Otherwise 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.400 I would imagine they're gonna start saying, okay, we might 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.360 have to have a little kicking caravan. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.400 Well, I mean, there is a free agent out there, 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.640 free agent who just happened to be one of the 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.040 best in the history of the game of football, that 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.800 somebody they might have take a peek at over there, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:11.560 Robbie Gold. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.400 I think, yeah, Robbie Gold is great, and I like 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.200 to see him in the Curse of that bad right. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.960 Well, and then, and here's the deal with Robbie Gold, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.520 because he's not good at it. He's already said he 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.800 doesn't want to go anywhere. He has to kick off, okay, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.160 And when I was asking around, why don't they bring 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.680 in Robbie Gold, It's like, okay, But then we got 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.880 to have somebody kick off because he's not very good. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.000 And it's going to be even more important this year 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.440 with the new rule of the of the fair catch. 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.679 If the balls in beyond the twenty five. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.559 Break break Station, Breakstation Break, Isaiah stand back as the 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.760 android guy, and he don't know how to use their computers. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.400 Help him help him out. Christ now. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.160 Needs a pass where. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.000 What we were gonna do is let you know that 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:11.360 we've got a podcast text line eight nine zero three 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.160 two nine eight and if you text this, we've got 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.959 questions that we can answer here during the show. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.600 But it can't tie him out on him, No, I. 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:21.240 Can't tie him out. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:22.160 Don't touch anything. 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.080 I'm not gonna touch it out. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.560 I know he needs to touch it. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.960 He needs to touch it, so it doesn't touch I. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.640 Don't touch the buttons, touch the little pan I got it. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.600 I know Android products have a pad in the bottom 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:32.760 of it. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.040 There are some good questions out here, though, so make 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.200 sure you guys keep sitting him in. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:38.800 I'm taking a peek at him as they come through, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.560 and we'll definitely address them, you know. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.840 Out from a from an injury standpoint, they had a 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.600 couple guys jump back into practice. Dareance Armstrong had been 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:48.680 out with a hamstring. 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.880 Uh he was he was back in. 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:51.760 Uh. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.400 Donovan Wilson, I've been told now people got to see 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.760 him out here. He had been working out with the 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:04.200 trainers when nobody was around, and I'm told his high 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.360 calf muscle I believe it was is doing better, and 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.800 so maybe I don't know if he gets back this week, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:19.160 but he's close, so they're encouraged by his progress. Is 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.160 he mccamu was back out there, so they're getting some 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.400 of these guys with the soft tissue injuries back out there. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:33.360 And I think Jordan Lewis, who was placed on pop right, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.680 I'm watching him run, so he's getting close to getting 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.600 back out here, which will create more competition in that 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:48.120 secondary because without him here them young guys. Bland has 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:53.720 played well, Eric Scott continues to play well, so there's 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.160 there'll be some more competition to be in that top 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.400 four at the cornerback position. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.160 It's gonna be very competitive in that secondary. It's based 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.280 upon some of the names you just gave, and kudos 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.320 to the front office for securing the secondary. When you 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:11.040 think about this starting lineup, all three safeties are locked in, right, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.640 all three of them, right, Hooker, Wilson, Curse, all those 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.640 guys are locked in the contracts. So kudos are that 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.560 you look on the outside, well, you sure up Trayvon right, 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.160 you have Gilmour on the opposite side, you have a 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.000 young Duran Bland. So your starting secondary is locked in 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.240 for at least the next few years. 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.040 Are you guys good with them resigning Hooker three year deal? Yeah, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:32.400 twenty four million. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.400 See one thing we can we can rest assured when 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.040 our secondary is the guys that they signed, you don't 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.120 mind because they're good enough and the money is there. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:47.080 And so I got something on my face most of us, Yeah, man, 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.480 you got me. There was I'm like, you're doing all this. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.120 I'm like, wow, man, it's something. The trees. I got 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:55.840 some on my face. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.160 They've been watching Friday. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.680 Yea, but this dude got me doll face. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.800 You can't see anything on you. 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:11.640 Yeah, yeah, black boll Nix shots shots, shot good one. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.080 So you were saying, but I'm telling you, even when 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:21.080 Wilson went down and Quambo, even when those guys got 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.360 banged up, you didn't worry. You know, Okay, next out, Bell, 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.040 next scout. Let's do you think? 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.240 And they've had Bell out there, Thomas, Yeah. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.760 I do worry about Israel mccomo. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.680 I worry about his ability to have enough time now 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.040 have after having missed the majority of training camp at 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.800 this point to show that he should be on this roster, 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.840 even though he has some cred over the you know 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.960 last year that he was coming along but we just 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.200 talked about those three starters are there, right, Those guys 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.040 are locked in. They're not going anywhere. But then you 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.680 have a couple of young casts. You got you got 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.000 Marquis Bell, he gonna be in there. You have the 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.480 Tyler Coyle is gonna. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:57.000 Be in there, Israel. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.480 Those guys are gonna be They're gonna be fighting for 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.800 first for some playing time as well, so you can't 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:03.760 miss all of training game. 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.840 But I know he's not his choice, right, I've been 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:06.399 in that position. 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.720 It sucks, but he needs to get out there and 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.160 get some reps, and he needs these preseason games because 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.959 there's a lot of other guys that are vowing for 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.640 positions now are going to effect how many guys are 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.880 going to be kept in the secondary. 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.679 Especially when you running a three safety. 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.120 Eight set, you will learn quickly the difference between injury 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.880 and I'm hurt and hurt. Right, Yeah, yeah, you get 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.879 that wave a while you'd be like wow. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.640 And I'm sure I'm sure there was a reaction out there, Oh, 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.800 they signed Hooker, why don't they get these other guys signed? 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.479 But you know what happens is they sign guys that 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.679 are willing to sign some guys don't want to do it. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:41.320 Now. 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:46.160 He's a veteran, he's twenty eight years old. He realizes 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.720 the jeopardy you put yourself in playing in that last 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.240 year of your contract. And I thought the neat thing 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.680 about him is what he said is I didn't want 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.080 to go anywhere. I felt like I was home and 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.199 I had these guys were my guys, and I wanted 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:05.840 to stay. So you know, they were able to, you know, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.160 meet in the middle of a contract. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:09.359 And he was fine. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.440 He didn't need to be the highest paid safety out there, right, 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.600 he just needed some security. And sixteen million dollars guaranteed, 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.480 that's a lot of security, uh, for a guy that 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.240 was coming off in Achilles, right, which is, as you know, 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.840 a very tough thing to come back from. As a 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.280 matter of fact, I told him, I said, when you 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.280 got back and did all what you were doing, I said, 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.880 you gave me incentive that when I tore mind that 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.160 I could at least come back and be normal. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.400 Right, I got to play a football game. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.760 But yeah, I think that was a really good signing. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.320 I think we need to probably take a break here 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.879 on mix shots, and remember, if you got a question, 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.359 we have a podcast text line eight one seven two 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:57.760 nine zero three two nine eight. Isaiah is monitoring that 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.359 and we'll be back in a moment. 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.440 I'm Doak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
