It's Monday, and that 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:18.200 can only mean one thing. Hanging with the Boys live 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.439 from the s WBC Mortgage living Room in Frisco, Texas, 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:29.280 for another episode of some hard hitting sports journalism. Just kidding, 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.520 it's just us. We're back and we're here to take 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.839 over your airwaves for one hour, maybe more. There's so 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.360 much going on that there's some shows that we come 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.480 on and we struggle to think about what to talk 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.520 about and try to stretch for an hour. There's other 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.240 days where there's so much going on and we're still 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.200 in the off season. We got to talk about there's 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.520 some training camp news that's going on. Kurt's got some 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.480 breaking news about how they're going to handle the facility. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.600 We've got more DAK talk. Would it be a week 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.640 of the off season without us talking about Dak. But 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.440 we're gonna talk about this roster, what veterans need to 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.920 prove themselves. And this does not happen very often, fellas, 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.479 But I have something to say. I'm gonna save that 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.600 for the end of the show because this is a 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.640 momentous occasion because I very seldom have an opinion or 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.360 something to say, So we'll get to that later. So 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.440 you guys, all you fans, hang in there for the 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.680 whole hour and listen to me say something. How you doing, Fellas, 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:40.720 what's happening? What's up man, fellas? Glad to be good weekend? 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.080 Good weekend. I hate when this dude trying to prep 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.360 us or whatever it is that entity show. Now I'm 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.480 all of reaction. The whole show is what do you 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:54.760 got to tell us? Chimp, Jesse, good to see you, Kurt, 0:01:54.920 --> 0:02:01.120 good to see you, Chris, thanks for setting us up. Hey, Shannon, Hey, 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.240 do you have to tell us later? Nan, You're gonna 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.280 have to Nate, You're gonna have to stay on the 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.840 whole show with us to hear what I have to say, 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.799 because I'm saving it for the end. But now, right now, 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.840 we're going to talk about training camp. I have my 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.000 two thousand and six Oxnard training camp ball cap on. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.239 This was the first time I ever went to training 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.079 camp out in California. Was this year? Back in two 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.560 thousand and six. The news came out this week that 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.160 the Cowboys will not be going to Oxnard. Reported I 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.520 don't know if it's still official, but it's being reported 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.440 by several several sources. They will have training camp and 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.360 what it appears to be Frisco. And then Kurt, some 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.320 more news came out right before we came on the 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:49.040 show about how they're going to handle some of that stuff. Yeah, well, 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.880 it is official that they can't go anywhere for training camp. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.360 NFL said they had to stay at their home facilities, 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.079 so they will be in Frisco. And then the NFL 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.040 came out today with the protocols for when players can 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.320 come back to the to the offices or to the 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.600 training facility. And this doesn't necessarily mean training camp. This 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.600 just means ahead of time when they first come back, 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.560 they're going to be required. The lockers have to be 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.040 six feet apart. They're gonna be every other locker. They 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.280 have to work in smaller groups like the workout areas. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.200 They have to rotate in. They can't have everybody in 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.399 there at once, and between groups they have to disinfect. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.320 They can't have in person meetings with large groups. I 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.399 think it has to be smaller groups or otherwise they'll 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.440 be on the you zoom call video conference calls, just 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.080 like they have been doing, or they can meet outside, 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.760 I guess and kind of space it out a little bit. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.200 So there's gonna be some changes, but it sounds like 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.680 it could be before the end of the month. They 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.800 might let some of the rookies and veterans come back 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.839 in to the facility to kind of get the ball 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.480 roll and some of the new veterans excuse me, guys 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:58.080 like Poe and McCoy. Yeah, there's changes coming, but at 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.600 least there's some progress being made. Looks like they're getting 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:06.400 a little bit closer to football. For me, I like it. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.520 I like it because and I make Nate, you'll have 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.280 your opinion on this. I like the new approach that 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.520 they're taking because as someone who's been in the NFL 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.960 locker room, and you understand that is the filthiest place 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.000 on earth. An NFL locker room. NFL locker room is 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.160 a filthy, filthy place. And when you tart talking about 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:35.599 spreading different type of disease, like when when the fluid 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.120 hits the locker room, when infections hit the locker room, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.360 it hits it hard because you're in so much close proximity. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:48.360 You're und I guess the fat guys getting fluid. It's 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.919 always you look whippier, I guess because y'all, y'all have 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.560 that insulated, You got those thick layers you gotta go 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.440 to to get to the immut and system, gotta get 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:03.719 into the ground. But but but but yeah, I mean, I 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.200 think I think this is the right approach. Um. I 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.039 think they're taking the necessary proper steps to getting us 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.600 back to what we want, because the last thing we 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.599 want is to happen is is we rush into this thing. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.839 And because I do believe that that second wave is 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.760 hiding around the corner, and you get a locker room 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.240 full of people who are you know, asymptomatic, and but 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.960 they have it, and now that ultimately will shut down 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:32.760 facilities again and put you in a very uncomfortable situation 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.000 on trying to get the ball rolling. So I think 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.719 you you measure twice and cut once on the front 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.480 end and hopes that you're able to prevent uh, you know, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.160 prevent an infection happened in your locker room. Unfortunately, the 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.000 Cowboys have a pretty great setup. Obviously, they've got a 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.479 big locker room, they've got extra locker rooms in that 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.440 fort center. They can spread guys around it sounds like 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.520 some teams are gonna have a little problem getting ninety 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.280 guys in there comfortably. So yeah, it's nice. It's good 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.800 to be a downless cowboy, that's for sure. I'd tell 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.560 you right here, fellas, Uh, what I said off air, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:13.360 would not say on air. So you're right, Jesse. Then again, 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.279 I'm glad you're going along with it, and I'm not 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:21.440 gonna use the word that I use before where to go, Jesse? 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:29.640 I cannot argue that point. As as former players, how 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:34.600 do you think this? Does this help them stay here? Um? 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.960 In Frisco for the first time? You know, did it 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.560 help you guys when you went somewhere for camp? As 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.680 opposed to Jesse, you have you played on teams that 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.480 have stayed kind of in their home area before. Outside 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.200 of the Cowboys, Yeah, and the Patriots, they stayed new 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.960 practice every day. I let the same place you practice 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.120 at during the regular season, it's the same place you 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.880 practice at during training camp. Um, so you stay, you 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.520 stay right there. I was with the Cincinnati Bengals where 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:06.480 you went to Georgetown, Kentucky and and did training camp there. Um, 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:14.160 the different things at yeah, yeah, yeah, like we ain't 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:21.880 gonna play to watch this. The thing about the Cowboys 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.960 is the Cowboys like to make it I mean a spectacle. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.720 I mean I was a part of the Cowboys where 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.720 we did training camp in three different places. One year 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:31.960 we had we had the opportunity to have the Hall 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.560 of Fame Game, and I remember we started training camp 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.240 in San Antonio, Texas. After a couple of weeks in 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.680 San Antonio, Texas, we then flew to oxtion Ard and 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.120 had practices in oxtion Ard where we played some West 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:47.080 Coast preseason games, and then we had the Hall of 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.800 Fame game, which then took us took us back to 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.520 Dallas for about a week or so to have practice 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.160 in Dallas to get ready to go to the Hall 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.080 of Fame game. So I was there. We bounced around 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.280 in three different locations and just I mean the headache 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.360 of that of just traveling all this from places. I 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.720 think this may actually work. Um, this may be something 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.960 that actually may work. They have the Omni Hotel that 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.360 sits right there. Um, so if you're trying to, you know, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.080 get that hotel some business in some money, you know, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.680 put the players and stuff right there. That way they 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.240 can come right to the facility. Without having to do 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.920 much traveling. Did the Patriots even though they had training 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.080 camp at their home place? Did they How did all 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.400 the players come together in one hotel? Did they just 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.800 stay home? Now, we all were in one hotel. Okay, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.960 we all we all were in one hotel. They had 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.600 hotel checks and all that kind of stuff. I'm pretty 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.160 sure guys like Tom Brady and such. After a certain 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.800 amount of days and after hour they were like, I'm 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.680 going home, but we all stayed in. We all stayed 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.760 in the same hotel. I'm gonna telling Jo what this 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.199 thing was supposed to do many many years ago was 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.480 get you away from the family, get you together your bond. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.120 You'd be you'd be up on the one calls, one 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:03.199 one fight. But with the day's as travel, the use 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.760 of phones, and the way you can do what we're 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.719 doing here, your family never is never just a just 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:16.040 a dollarway of a series call away series called Shannon's Girlfriend. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.840 Please thank you, so you already you know what I'm saying. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.400 So now whole headphone up, Nate, did your phone I 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.560 actually called Shannon's girlfriend when you told Syria to do so. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.480 I gotta make sure I don't number she calls Mama 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:35.040 gross though. Okay, but I'll be honest with you. What 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.160 it is designed to do when you have traveled away 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.920 was mainly bring the guys together and be up under 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:46.240 one one deal, trying to get yourself prepared for football. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.440 But Jesse, you know, like the rest of you guys know, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.520 the Dallas Cowboys training camp probably at about that ten 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:56.000 to one became what you said, Jesse, it's about making 0:09:56.080 --> 0:10:00.600 money along with get your mind right, bill in your brand. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.199 So but it's a good thing. Some players can handle 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.679 it the big stage. Some players can't, you know. And uh, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.360 the Cowboys, for I think, for what has happened this pandemic, 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.000 we need to be together with the new guys, old guys, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.240 new coaches, and they need to be in one spot, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.360 not worrying about moving, worrying about making this team and 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.240 making it better. So you think that with all the 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.199 other changes going on, this change of training camp, this 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.439 might be a good thing. Man, Oh, it's a benefit. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.200 It's nowhere. It's not a benefit. Can you imagine going 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.200 to California which is a hot spot, and everybody's sitting 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.560 there like, man, should we walk out our doll? You know, no, Man, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.360 you stay right here and Frisco tell you the else 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.800 is happy. Yeah, I know, Mike, I know Mike mccordney, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.800 Crewe is happy. They don't have the load. They don't 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.920 have the loads. They don't have to load the trucks 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:57.439 up with wings and workout stuff and football equipment oncount 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.000 They're like, man, we get to stay right here there there. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.040 Their summer has just gotten a lot better because Mike 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.480 mccordy and Bucket all those guys. They don't have to 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:13.360 load those truckers up and drive halfway across America. Yeah. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.479 And for those of you that don't know, they literally 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.480 pack up the entire weight room, the weights, the bitches, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.640 the rats, the bars, like everything. They pack them up 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:31.120 in eighteen wheeler tractor trailers and ship them to California 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.640 for camp. And then they pack it all back up 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.559 and send it back on top of all the pads 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.560 to take the gatorade, you know, all the other equipment, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:45.360 every uniform for every weather, everything, every weather. I mean, 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.280 the they do it all. Man, It is a it 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.440 is a monumental beaty. The weeks leading up the training, 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.160 those guys, I mean they have they have these I 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.640 guess their boxes they're probably what Kurt six feet six 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.080 and a half feet tall, probably four feet square, and 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.800 they cram them full of all the stuff and send 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.559 it out there. And then they have to take all 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.520 that stuff loaded up on the planes, take it to 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.280 the Hall of Fame game, ship it back for practice, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.960 ship it to the next preseason game, ship it back 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.840 for practice, ship it to the next preseason game, back 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.120 to practice, and then when we break camp. The day 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.120 they break camp, they load it all back into eighteen 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.280 wheelers overnight, and then the eighteen wheelers come back while 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.720 we're flying back to go for that that usually that 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.160 third and fourth preseason game, to come back home, ship 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.439 it all back along with all of our luggage. All 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.680 the players, I mean, it is a those guys, they 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:50.840 earn their money that you know what's amazing about all 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.400 of this. They do this for all of the players, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.760 but not only for all of the players. They do 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.199 it all of the staff, and for mister Jones and 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.840 his party, for Shannon and his If you they give 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.160 you shirts, they give you they give you a pants, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.679 they give you shoes. They give it to everybody. If 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.360 you carry a cowboy name. Even when I used to 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.880 go out there they used to have a little, a 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.080 little thing for me, a little, a little package for me, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.840 and you can take that over there and get it 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.360 washed daily. They're washing these guys clothes, not not they're 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.280 unders and all of that, but the clothes that they 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:36.040 have to wear, their uniform, they wash them daily daily. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:41.360 So these guys never stop moving. They don't go to lunch, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.520 they don't go to breakfast. They just continue to move. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.280 So they do a great job. Any concern about now 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.520 and having a training camp in that Texas heat or 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:59.079 indoors on the turf, nah nah nah, I mean make 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.560 them tough, you know what, you know what, Jesse, you 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.560 know you you you making have a different opinion. But 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.160 coaches are smart and how they work their players. But 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.480 I asked a guy, you know, I told a guy 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.160 one time, I got the man so hard out here. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.680 I understand what a new era, a new way of 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.560 doing things that your body it's not used to being 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.400 beat on at any time. But don't tell me you 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.600 practicing pads, then you out of pads and you're practicing paths. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.400 Then you out of pads, then you off and you're 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:38.160 talking about you tired. What are you doing? Really? What 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.160 are you doing. You walk through in the morning, you hit, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.720 hitting pads, maybe fifteen twenty minutes that afternoon. Next day 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.880 you're walking through again. Then you next time you're you're 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.360 hitting the So you mean to tell me watching film, 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.600 it's just really then broke you down because that's all 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.240 they do. So I'm so hey, come on, man, hey, Jesse, Jesse, 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.920 is this late version of when I was a kid 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:08.320 I used to watch Sharon You did not hear me say, 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.520 you did not hear me? No, I do not. I 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.400 do not buy into how it was for us, because 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.920 your body is not designed to be hit on. But 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.640 you're only hitting maybe thirty minutes in a practice. Then 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:28.680 you're off. You know, you hit, you walk through, you hit, 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.680 and it maybe thirty forty minutes, and then you're off, off, 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:39.960 you off for twenty four hours. But see, it don't matter. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.000 What I'm saying is your body is not designed. You 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.840 get what I'm saying. I'm not going there because like 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.480 I tempt you, like I tell the older guys, stop man, 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:52.360 because my story is not it's not that great compared 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.720 to Drew, to Drew Pierson, I mean the Preston Pearson. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.280 My story is not that great to Bob Lily to 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.960 where these guys had two and three hour practices. No water. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.680 Everybody is a little bit different, but our bodies are 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.720 not designed to be beat on. But don't tell me 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.120 you tire because you had a couple of practices that 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.640 equip maybe forty five minutes of hiddie. That's all I'm 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.440 trying to say, be the best you can be. And 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.800 I also think, you know, the strategic part about coaching 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.640 is that, you know, they foreshadow what the what is 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.560 the weather going to look like, what do we need? 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.520 How are things going to work out? And they can 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.560 look at it and go, hey, you know what, on Wednesday, 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.520 it's only going to be eighty five degrees, let's practice outside. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.880 Or hey, let's do an early morning practice so we 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.200 can get outside. Maybe it's a little bit of humidity, 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.960 but let's get outside on the grass. Let's get outside 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.120 and the elements a little bit, you know, and then 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.920 the whole. But Friday it's going to be one hundred 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.440 and five, so we'll move them inside. Because I'm gonna 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.920 be honest with you. You we don't play as a 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.600 home team. We don't play in the elements, right we 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.240 have we have the luxury of being in a billion 0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:02.840 dollar indoor facility with teams like New England who Bill Belichick, 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.840 it didn't matter what was happening. You practiced outside and 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.359 they had an indoor facility, rain, sleeps, snow below zero 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.440 because because Bill Buchick mindset was, you're not going to 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:17.880 play indoors on Sunday. You're playing outdoors at home on Sunday. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.920 So why wouldn't you practicing what you're going to play 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.320 in on Sunday. It's hard to get a lot of 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.480 work done when you're talking about that blazing heat. Guys 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.840 all of a sudden start fatiguing faster. They need ivs guys, 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.040 you know. And when that heat get on your back 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.200 and you got that equipment on, this haze comes over 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:40.200 you and you you spend more time correcting and repeating 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.720 than you do actually getting good, solid working. So I 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:48.080 see why sometimes coaches go inside. We had we had 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.639 we had the fiasco we had last year where the 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.320 Cowboys were going to play in a way game and 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.720 an outdoor stadium, and the elements that we were having 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.159 here in Dallas was matching the element that they were 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.600 going to be able to go see in that game 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.800 on Sunday, but that coaching staff decided to go indoors 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.960 and we saw how that played out in the game. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.280 So that's the strategic part about coaching, knowing your players, 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.119 foreshadowing what the weather may look like and how it 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.240 can you can get a combination of both, because you 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.840 do need to go outside a little bit and get 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.960 some of that condition again. You know, have that sun 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.040 on your back a little bit that that helps with conditioning, 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:21.840 That helps with a little bit of the mental toughness 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.320 of it all, and you know, just getting being able 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.439 to work through those things as you would have to 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.720 in the game because you're gonna go to some places 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.160 where you're not going to be used to the elements 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:33.760 we have. We have a couple of games we gotta 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.240 December game in Baltimore. Guess what, right off the water, 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.320 it's going to be cold, and if you're not conditioned 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.720 for that, then that sometimes can be a distraction to 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.000 you mentally. So you got to be able to propare yourself. 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:50.240 That rat pre you able to prepare yourself mentally effically. 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.280 So I think I think the thing with this coaching staff, 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.879 I'm gonna I'm gonna say I hope that this coaching 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.600 staff with Mike McCarthy at the helm, will do the 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.760 right things and kind of mixing and matching being outside 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.000 being inside, And of course we're talking about the Dallas Cowboys, 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.280 So what does that mean. That mean that it's still 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.520 going to be a spectacle. And so they're going to 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.320 have twelve thousand people on the inside like it's a 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.840 high school football game or boxing match inside the Ford Center. 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.240 So you're gonna have some practices and there's some live 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.280 practices where you're going to have all the fans come 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.119 in there. You're gonna have chili to come out at 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.359 the halftime of the game, of the scrimmage, or whatever 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.840 it may be. Because it is the Dallas Cowboys and 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.000 it is a show, and it will be a show 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.439 no matter what you try to make it out to be. 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.479 And over the was it current? Over the over the 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.000 over the weekend or late last week? I think the 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:46.199 governor added here in Texas said that all stadiums and 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:52.280 arenas will be able to operate capacity. Is that right? 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.760 Did I read that right? Yeah? Yeah, that's what he's 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.320 saying so far. But you know what the NFL said, 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.160 They're proceeding like there's gonna be full season with full stadiums. 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.560 So hopefully we'll get to that point. But the governor, 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.280 governor having to be on page by time they get there, 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:14.480 you'll be with it. We've we've talked about the young 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.200 guys and with you know, everybody getting a late start, 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.600 that this may help the young guys kind of get 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.440 a be on more of a level playing field with 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.199 the with the veterans. Um, who are some guys that 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:30.360 come to mind on this team, Um, that are that 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.600 we're looking at that are gonna be bubble guys that 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.480 are really gonna have to get in there and compete 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.240 this year. There are any guys that come to mind 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.240 for you, guys that that have been on this team 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.399 for a year or two, maybe three, that every veteran 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:48.840 that don't have a guarantee contract. But yes, what happened 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:50.639 to Noah Brown? Is Noel browns to the bar of 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:55.760 the Cowboys? What is he? Then? This this guy they 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.920 talked about so much, how much they love them. Is 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.480 his physicality and how was pig and strong? And what 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.480 was Noah Brown? This is the guy who I'm looking 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.119 if Maurah Brown is still on this football team in 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.200 New York soon because he can block. Well, it was 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.120 Noah Brown. I want I want to see one Noah 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.480 Brown's got They talked, they talked him up so much 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.000 as a receiver. I want to see where he's where 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.720 he's at. I've always had this, I've always I've had 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:26.320 this question with this team. It seems like there's always 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.760 a guy. They always have one or two of these 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:34.080 guys that never gets on the playing field. That usually 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.119 usually there's injuries involved where they're you know, there's a 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.280 lingering issue, or there's something where they can't quite get 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.840 over the hump, they can't quite get on the field. 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:45.959 But they keep these guys around. And it seems like 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:49.640 ever since I've been here, they've they've had those one 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.600 or two of those guys that they just that seems 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.399 to stay on this team. Is that Is it like 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.920 that on every team where they have them at Cathain 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:02.680 or is it just this team? Nah? Nah No, how 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:04.760 most teams want guys who can actually go out there 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:11.400 and do something. Yeah, yeah nah bro Nah No, Sorry, 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.920 we need the social distance. I suffered them cash real quick, 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:28.040 real Jesse, Kurt Shannon, don't I mean? And our fans 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:32.960 were latch on to these nobodies with latch on too, 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:37.080 these nobodies that cannot help this team win. And where 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.040 are such as such the same place he's been waiting on? 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.639 Training camp. That's when they get all the fame and 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:47.440 training camp, which does not win games? Come home? Man? 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:53.040 Who why why is that? Why is that? I don't 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.560 Is there a reason for that? Is it? People get excited? Guy? Yeah, 0:22:57.560 --> 0:22:59.679 people get excited about somebody new, Like who was your 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.680
