Speaker 1: you a set for press conferences coming up shortly from

Speaker 1: McCarthy and Dak Prescott. We got the coordinators later this afternoon.

10
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: But we're burying the lead there. The lead story is

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: what did Mickey do at the media party last night?

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: I had a good time, you know, no boo in

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: Malibu and see you there. I was not there. Some

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: of us had to work last night. You mean, I

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: know some people can still work stations. Were there? Yeah,

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: but come on, we got there. I think Dale apparently

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: did his live show from outside. He did outside of

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the parking lot. I think because when I saw him leave,

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I said, and he's talking about Dale Hanson Channel eight,

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: and uh, I thought that was it. He was going.

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: And then because he was coming back this morning and

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: then I saw him show up again. I go, I

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: thought you had to do your show. He goes. We

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: did out in the parking lot. Things that technology has

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: changed over the years. He had certain priorities as he

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: came to his last training camps. That party was number

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: one on his priority lell and he got a go

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: and away heard from the owner. I heard that that

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: was I went viral on social media last night as

30
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: soon as I had a bow on it and opened

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: it up, and it was a box of socks and

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: jocks and they looked dirty too, but well, and Jerry

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: had his personal that that he was gonna put on

34
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: a head. But that's right. It was pretty funny. So

35
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: does everybody kind of behave themselves kind of anybody jump

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: in the ocean or anything like that. Everybody made it

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: back safely. Of course, there's a team bus that takes

38
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: everybody back. They had a bus for us if you

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: chose to write it, and we wrote it and got

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: back and everything went fine. Yeah, it was good. Jerry

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: was in rare Form and Steven and Charlotte and Jerry Junior.

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: So I don't I didn't see any celebs. The only

43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: I heard there was a Sean Penn sighting at NOBU.

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: But that was basically it for me. Okay, all right,

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: so is that what all we need to know about that?

46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I think the highlight was the present. Yeah, but Jerry

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: was good. Jerry was It's like Vegas though, everything that

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: happens at the media party, stay there taking notes and

49
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: come back and report on it. Okay, right, all right,

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: it's a party, but it is something that Jerry and

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Stephen for that matter, love every year, right they Jerry,

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean he missed it last year, right, so this

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: was making up for lost time. And I think he did. Yeah,

54
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: he seemed to really really enjoy it, and he stopped

55
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: when he got there. He stopped everything down and had

56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: a toast and you know, welcomed everybody and so yeah,

57
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: it was good. So, uh, you were here when tech

58
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Shram was running the show. Yes, what how would you

59
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: compare the relations with the media that Texts had compared

60
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: with Jerry? You know, I think he took some notes

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: and learned from Jerry to learn from text kind of

62
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: from text and yeah, and I mean texts. Text would

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: go out every night almost and Mickey was right, there

64
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: was a well I was only here during his time

65
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: for one week of training camp each year um and

66
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: then took over when Jerry took over, But yeah, he would.

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: There was a place and outside a Thousand Oaks on

68
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: the other side of the one oh one. It was

69
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: in Westlake and was called the Iron Horse, and that

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: was kind of the meeting place after everything was said

71
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: and done at night, got your work done, and you

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: could about find texts there most nights, holding court, debating

73
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: with the media. It was great. It was the it

74
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: was the great, great theory sessions we used to have

75
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: with And then what I also remember in Thousand Oaks

76
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: is that techs would be up on the tower and

77
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: the difference between texts being up on the tower and

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Jerry being in the owner's tower here is Lee Martin

79
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: Productions would also be there. There were Blue White Scrimmage,

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: not just the Blue White Scrimmage, but there was one

81
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: year that Lee Martin and they did daily television report

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: that might have been before my time. That was it

83
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: was It was on what was then what Okay, Fox

84
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Sports it's Fox Sports Southwest is now Bally Sports Southwest.

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Prior to that, it was Home Sports Entertainment. Prior to that,

86
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: it was like Prime something and it was back in

87
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: the early days. All right, bring us up to speed

88
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: on this team. This is a rejuvenation day. It's not

89
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: an off day for the players. In fact, the as

90
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I walked in, the injured crew was out there and

91
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: suited up, doing rehab, doing stuff. Yeah, and they had

92
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: their what they call mock game. Might cause it mock game,

93
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: it's basically the walkthrough. So they did have a walk

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: through this morning for about an hour and a half,

95
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I guess. And then they're gonna have meetings and as

96
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: you said, probably gonna have to cut this short. We

97
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: had it planned. They were supposed to do the press

98
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: conference twelve fifteen, twelve thirty, but it sounds like it's

99
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: going to be closer to twelve o'clock. Yeah, two o'clock

100
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: Dallas time. And then and then Dak's supposed to also

101
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: speak from the podium today. So yeah, it's not a

102
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: day off. They just don't have the full padded practice

103
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the way they have in the past two days. All Right,

104
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: this is our first chance to get your thoughts after

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: watching the team in the pads this last couple of days.

106
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: Of course, they've had three straight days of practice as

107
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: the last two and pads. Last time we did one

108
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: of these mix shots was on Monday. So what's your

109
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: overriding impression what you've seen right now? How competitive everything

110
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: seems to be. I think there's a lot of competition

111
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: going on between the two units offense and defense. Got

112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: pretty pretty pretty heated there for a while. I thought that,

113
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, defensively, we've talked about all the open competition

114
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: and all the different spots, and I think that's going on.

115
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: And then offensively now with Dack out for what they

116
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: said a few days, Mike McCarthy said a few days,

117
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: and his definition of a few days is two to

118
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: three days, but it could be longer than that. Well,

119
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: and that's the thing. And he's out there on the

120
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: practice field, he's just not throwing with his right arm anyway.

121
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Occasionally you will see his But if you if you

122
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: look at the schedule ahead, all right, you got two

123
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: practice is Saturday and Sunday, a day off on Monday,

124
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: a practice on Tuesday, which is their only practice next

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: week leading up to Canton travel on traveling on Wednesday,

126
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: and then they're back here the following h Saturday when

127
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: the Rams will be here to practice with them and

128
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion, there's no reason here over the next

129
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: three practices, Steven tested it buys you basically a week

130
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 1: and then we'll see where he is when the RAMS

131
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: come here. Now I can't remember if there's a practice

132
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday after the RAMS or if there's another day

133
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: off and then they have I think, yeah, so yeah,

134
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: I would think after the RAMS, I think that's probably

135
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: as as long as everything clears up. So it's a

136
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: muscle strain in your upper arm here shoulder, and you

137
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: know he's able to run, so it can't be too painful.

138
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: Otherwise you wouldn't be jogging and running around running routes

139
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: for the quarterbacks when they're doing their individual drills and

140
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: throwing the ball underhand with his left arm. So yeah,

141
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was encouraging. And then he did conditioning

142
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: work too, so he was on the chords. So yeah.

143
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: We had our photographer CBS eleven Bill Ellis was positioned

144
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: in such a way that on one of Dack's runs

145
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: to the end zone, you could hear him say that

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot of this scrambling today.

147
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: That was early in practice yesterday, and he was able to,

148
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, take snaps and you know, hand off and

149
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: do stuff like that, so it can't be that painful.

150
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: So you know, he termed it bill as it was tight.

151
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know, you know what his definition of

152
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: tight is, but I think the MRI I termed it

153
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: as a strange mus muscle. And he said it happened.

154
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: It started showing up on Tuesday, and then Wednesday he decided, okay,

155
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: probably need to shut it down and be careful. So

156
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: and to what Mike McCarthy said in the press conference yesterday,

157
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: I guess it was yesterday. You know a lot of

158
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: times you'll see quarterbacks a week nd five practices in

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: where they might have some arm fatigue whatever this sounds like,

160
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: because there was an MRI that shows a strain would

161
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: be a small tear right in the muscle, that it

162
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: may be a little bit more than that. But the

163
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: thing is just the most work he's had since the injury.

164
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: Right it was a ball pitcher where you'll go a

165
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: few days into it and you know, they just set

166
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: it back for a couple of days and then go

167
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: back at it. And so there's no there's no cause

168
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: for alarm right now. But and it's early enough it's

169
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: still July. To proceed with caution. And in the meantime, Micky,

170
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: you get a good look at the situation behind that

171
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Yeah, you get an opportunity. And the other

172
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: thing was going to point out before I get to

173
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: the backups taken over, it's five weeks before they have

174
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: to get into game week for the season openers. So

175
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: they're now just under six weeks before the season opener

176
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay, so less than a week away from

177
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: the first preseason game next Thursday in Kenton. That's right.

178
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Are you going to be in Kenton? I will not

179
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: be in Kenton. Yeah, well maybe we're We're up in

180
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: the air right now, we are we're making the trip

181
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: or not. But yeah, it gave you know, they were

182
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: rotating snaps with the quarterbacks, and it was hard to say, well,

183
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert's number two, Denucci's three rushes four or whatever,

184
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: and then yesterday basically Garrett Gilbert's number two, I think

185
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said it. And then the way they practiced,

186
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: he took all Dak snaps, so he was the he

187
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: was the first one up, and then Denucci and rush

188
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: Um kind of traded going next. So yeah, it gives

189
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: gives gil I mean, think about it. When Gilbert got

190
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: here last year, Bill, you know, he was here what

191
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: two weeks, and then all of a sudden he gets

192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: thrust into a starting job and he had never started

193
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: a game, uh in the NFL. I think he only

194
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: had thrown a hand full of passes over the years

195
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: he had been in the NFL on the practice squad

196
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: or Barry does the third quarterback or the second they

197
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: didn't get to play. So his ability to get time

198
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: in practice with the first team is invaluable at this point.

199
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: If indeed he wins the backup job, so is the

200
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: backup quarterback on this roster. I would not bet your

201
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: money on it because I think that while they're competing

202
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: against each other, they're also competing against what might show

203
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: up on the waiver wire. And I think that's probably

204
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: been the master plan along. Now. If someone emerges and

205
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: they look like that they can be the guy and

206
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: they can save money, right, great, Yeah, that would be great.

207
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: But at some point the end of August, I guarantee

208
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: you some team releases a quarterback that has more experience.

209
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: It probably has his connection to one of these coaches,

210
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: one of these numerous coaches on this stage, because you

211
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: know they talk about Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy taking

212
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks. Will you have Doug Nussmeyer who's been

213
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: around and even Scott Tolzine who's kind of the assistant

214
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: how do you how do you put it? He's the

215
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: helper guy, helper guy hit the quarterback room. Uh, and

216
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: he's been around too. So they've got a lot of

217
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks here to kind of help out. Um. So yeah,

218
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: I think with all the new quarterbacks that got drafted

219
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: in the in the first round, I would imagine there's

220
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: going to be some veteran quarterback that's let go and

221
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: we'll have more starting experience than all combined. As as

222
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: much as people like the little bit that they saw

223
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: from Gary Gilbert and against the Steelers last year, as

224
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: far as taking care of the ball and putting the

225
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys in a position to win a game against what

226
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: was then an unbeaten team last year, the fact of

227
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: the matter is he does not have much experience, even

228
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty, to be counted on that

229
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: this is a guy that can win multiple games for

230
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: you in a regular and as we know, backup quarterbacks

231
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: have to rely on their experience because they don't get

232
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: once the season starts, they don't get many snaps. So

233
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: the fact that Gilbert's going to get these snaps in preseason,

234
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna get snaps in practice, which he didn't have

235
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: any of that last year. He just kind of showed

236
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: up and it was, you know, he was baptized right away.

237
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: Just go in and play. So yeah, that'll help out,

238
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: and it'll help do Nucci out too, because he didn't

239
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: get any of that, and he was a seventh round

240
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: pick and as a rookie you need reps in the

241
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: offseason and he didn't get any. Hey, can I give

242
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: a shout out to loyal listeners of all the podcast

243
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: here on Dallas Cowboys dot com. These are two guys

244
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: I met in the hotel lobby, Yeah, way over here.

245
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: They're from Dallas. They've been here since Tuesday at practice,

246
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: their first time at training camp, and they're headed back today.

247
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Mike Garner and Mark Dunne. Mike Garner the pride of

248
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Carter High School and Mark done out of Dallas

249
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Pinkston High School from way back in the day. And

250
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: so I shout out to them. I heard I saw

251
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: where your reporting skills came in to play yesterday you

252
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: found the Ralston's. That's right. Well, it wasn't that hard

253
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: because there was a lady with a Ralston jersey yard

254
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: and he figured, yeah, and what Bicky is getting at

255
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: this is a player that is not getting any attention

256
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: at camp. Nick Ralston out of Argyll High School and

257
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: he went to Arizona State and then transferred to Louisiana

258
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: Lafayette and he's a fullback on the roster number forty six.

259
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: And so I saw mom with the forty six jersey

260
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: and what I presume was dad turned out it was.

261
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: And so I said, okay, we're doing an interview right here,

262
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and now I got to go track down Nick to

263
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: do an interview with him. And there was also Brad

264
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: sham Ran into Kevin Sweeney. Oh really yeah, oh yeah,

265
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: practice the UH strike team quarterback and then they kept him,

266
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: got a start and kind of didn't do all that well,

267
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: and but quarterback fresh texts, yeah, I think it was.

268
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: And tech Shram was just enamored with him, right to

269
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: the point where he got Landry to start him in

270
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: a game, right in a real game, not the the

271
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: UH was at here. Yeah, he was out here yesterday. Yeah.

272
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: And then Michael Irvin showed up at the party lesson

273
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: I've heard that, yes, yeah, and then that raised the

274
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: level of excitement at the party just having Michael there.

275
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: So but you know what, Mike did talk about the

276
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: fullback position yesterday when he was talking about and he

277
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: was the one that said, you know, teams are kind

278
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: of going more back to two tight or two running

279
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: back sets. Uh, And he said, not only can you

280
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: know we benefit from that if indeed he's good enough

281
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: to make the team, but it also gives the defense

282
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: a chance to uh go up against two running back sets.

283
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: May be close to a press conference Mike McCarthy press

284
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: conference tentatively set for high noon California time, well two

285
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: o'clock Dallas. I see, Uh, the tendon ninus in the

286
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: elbow didn't stop Tyran Smith from walking around. Yeah, but

287
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: but you know, somebody asked me about it, and I said, well, yeah,

288
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: he's got that knee brace on his arm that he's

289
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: had for the last couple of years on his lee.

290
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: That's just amazing the thing he has. But anyway, back

291
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: to the fullback thing, who knows, you know, And I

292
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: saw I saw somebody interpet that as, Oh, they're gonna

293
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: run Pollard and Zeke at the same time he was

294
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: talking about a fullback. Mcke mentioned that, you know what

295
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: this means, We got a Mike McCarthy press conference coming

296
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: up next year on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. This has

297
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the

298
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
