This is the Player's label, 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.640 broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.880 All right, everybody, it is time for the players loves 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.000 I am new his drugs on time. Cowboys. You put 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.360 a drun by former Dallas Cowboys safe number forty two, 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.720 Buried Church. I'm here at Star, California Cowboys training. Can't 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.120 where Mike McCarthy's just wrapped up his pres cops. Church 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.559 is back in Texas. All right, be Church. How are 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.959 we feeling today? Man? Look it's still hot as hell 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.800 down here in Dallas. Man, But look, man, we're all 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.560 living through you right now. You're all here in California, 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.360 got that ocean breeze coming in. You might have had 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.840 to put a light jacket on today, but you got 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.960 to witness the padded practices that the Cowboys have been had. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.840 And so look, man, we're living through you right now. 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.240 You're on top of the hill. And what you got 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.440 for is big dog. Yes, I did have to put 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.679 on a light jacket, and yesterday when we interviewed Dak Prescott, 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.800 it got cold when I didn't have a jacket, man, 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.679 so I was I was hurting, So not today, baby. 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.640 I made sure I brought my light jacket today. Well, 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.880 here's the thing about the padded practice, and I'll start 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.160 with the most important thing, which was number four. We're 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.199 sitting out here wondering where is Dak as they start 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.039 going into the team drills, and Dak ended up leaving 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.720 the football field and went with the trainers and says 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.000 he's got some shoulder sword is here, so he's gonna 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:37.880 take a couple of days off. And just looking at 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.080 my note to Mike McCarthy said that it's not a 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.480 high concern at all. He said that Dad didn't want 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.200 to leave the practice field, but they McCarthy wanted him 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.000 to go ahead and leave the field. And he said 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.560 Dak will still do all the drill work today, and 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.680 he said it's a good opportunity for them to catch 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.880 a fatigue injury, so they're not worried about Dak Prescott 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.480 long term. And when we spoke to Dak, he just said, hey, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.960 look I noticed a little He noted something two days ago, 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.560 and then yesterday at the paddent practice he noticed the 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.680 strain again and he just decided that he was going 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.679 to be cost So for all Cowboy nation out there, 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.400 and for people you know, basically were NFL fans across them, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.119 you know, the nation who want to know, hey, what's 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.480 going on with the Cowboys in number four? They say 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.600 he'll be fine and in a couple of days expecting 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.520 to be out there now based on that, let me 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.760 tell Church. I don't know if I could break it 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.280 to you, just but just tell you the truth. Okay, 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:33.520 double G did Dot look good? In fact, none of 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.760 the Cowboy backups look good at all. Yesterday five picks 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:42.960 in the padded practice. Okay, five fives. As a group 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.919 they threw five. It was as a group. It was 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.000 a group. Don't worry. Juanucci made sure he got he 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.520 got something in there too. But I was sitting around 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.640 with Nate Newton, former three times Super Bowl champion two 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.680 days ago, and when we were looking at at the backups, 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.480 I said, hey, man, Dack's backup is not all this roster. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.400 He's out on this roster, and yesterday I think just 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.680 proved it one more time. Then unless these guys do 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.040 something amazing in preseason, I think they're going to sit 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.919 up here and possibly be looking Now, the good thing 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.360 about the backups having an opportunity with DA being out 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.280 the next few days, they're gonna get they're gonna get 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.960 their shot. We'll see exactly what they can do. But yesterday, man, 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.079 it was not good at all. And I'll also be fair, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.600 Mark Cooper has not been in practice. He has a 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.120 practice camp started, and then Michael Gallup sat out because 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.240 of his ankle, and Gallup will be out again today. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.000 So you didn't have you two really good receivers out there. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.840 But still five picks. He's just unaccepted. Five picks. That is, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.160 that's a lot of intercessions, especially as a group. And 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.560 and look, I know, you know Garret Gilbert, he's more 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.480 of a gamer, so I expect him to you know, 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.560 he's gonna arrive when that Hall of Fame games and 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.640 the spotlights on him. He's more of a gamer. So 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.880 I'm not worried about the practice. He's gonna go out 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.000 there and shine. But I wanted to ask you just 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.160 knew he is. Do you see that as just a 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.600 lack of talent or skill in the backup back position 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.320 or do you see it as our defense communicating well, 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.880 flying around to the ball and actually taking the ball away. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.040 Do you see that as a good sign for our 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.480 defense or is it just man? These backups are that 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:14.040 much below Dak Prescott's ability. I think if you have 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.520 been one of those who's been sold on Dan Quinn 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.039 coming in here and being mixed mister Pixett, I would say, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.800 so far, you should feel really good. These guys are communicating, 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.160 they're talking. Mike McCarthy had spoken about the press competent 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.720 and just wrapped up out here. I also believe that 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.400 there's a pride factor here that maybe we haven't given 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.720 enough credit to for the Cowboys. Then guys who were 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.760 here on this team last year understood that that just 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.520 wasn't acceptable. It wasn't good, and even more importantly, something 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.359 we've all talked about here on the players on tracts 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.240 by hotels dot com. Because there's competition, man, you know 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.559 this was sacred Cows. Then guys are right here fighting 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.040 for jobs. That hasn't always been the case here with 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.359 the Cowboys the past few seasons, and I like that 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.120 guys are gonna have to get up here and earn 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.240 a spot. Yeah, I agree with you on a hundred sin. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.440 I mean, we talked about it all last season how 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.719 it felt like this defense just didn't have any accountability. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.960 It was you know, I missed that player or somebody 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.159 else will go get that play. And we've seen it 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.720 even in our safety last year. Xavier was when he said, hey, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.000 you can't expect us to go one hundred miles an 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.960 hour one hundred percent all the time. And that's that 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.520 was just basically a microcosm of what this defense was. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.600 They were just you know, there weren't accountable and they 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.920 were letting things slide. And we saw that on our 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.599 play on the field. So I love what dan Quinn 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.039 has done so far this offseason, bringing in competition on 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.640 all three levels. I mean, we've seen the additions on 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.440 the d tackle and the linebackers. We got Parsons, Cox, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.400 all those guys in there, and now we make it 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:44.760 even more. It just breeds competition, and I've always been 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.880 a believer that competition brings the best out of all 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.320 these players. So hopefully, as things were finally starting to 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.760 click for this defense, because they got the potential, they 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.760 got the skill to be able to go out there 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.479 and be a you know, mediocre even you know, like 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.120 McRae would say, a top ten defense but we just 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.600 got to see it out there. I think last year 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.400 they were too confused out there, and hopefully they simplified 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.359 the defense a little bit. And these guys are just 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.320 flying from A to B and not just worrying about 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.840 thinking too much out there. There's a buying factor, and 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.000 the buying factor was not there. Okay, let's just be honest. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.040 The buying factor wasn't there. Bare you played in this 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.960 league and guys have to believe in what the defense is, 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.400 believing in the coordinator, you know, just have an overall belief. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.120 It was like, Hey, this coach is putting me in 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.559 the best position and it's gonna help me win some games. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.120 I don't think that was the case of Mike Nolan. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.360 They at all last tear well. I will say this, 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.480 do you believe that having that full offseason, having that 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.400 OTA's Mini camp and out training camp and we're gonna 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.680 have preseason game, do you think that also played a 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.040 role in how these guys seem to be flying around 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.119 right now? I do. I believe that, But I also 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.640 I also believe that what do they say, the strength 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.119 of the pack is with the leader, and the leader 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.560 is Dan Quinn, who's coming out here with energy and 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.600 coming out here with a sense of focus. And I 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.400 so far I see that translator. I think that the 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.880 way Mike Nolan kind of went about things is kind 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.920 of how they looked. And yeah, so hitting your hands 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.320 on these guys and helps. Mike McCarthy's admitted that last 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.200 year they didn't really have a good program in place 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.840 to deal with the pandemics as much as they could have. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:22.920 So I am I am cautiously optimistic of what I've 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.160 seen so far. And I said cautiously because I've been 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.600 fooled before, and because if Bush once said can't get 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.560 food again, so can't get food again. We were both 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.040 on that train. But I'm still about looking at the 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.800 defensive tackles, see what they're doing here. And that's the 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.800 benefit of having a guy like Nate Newt to practice. 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.440 I was trying to go watch practice with people who 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.960 are experienced the people who haven't understanding what's going on. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.560 And so they had talked about just looking at a 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.240 couple of the offensive line here and a couple of 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.840 defensive line. Number seventy five Pulso, a diggy looser from UCLA. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.840 That's a guy that then I'm gonna keep looking out 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.040 for I keep looking out at big Ball hand in 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.000 number ninety eight, and they took up from Memphis Yard 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.960 and Nevin Alamore number ninety six. I think Gallimore is 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.000 a guy that we've all talked about. It looks as 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.680 though he's going to be able to have that second 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.480 year improvement. And some of these guys in their second year, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.280 they're gonna have the ability to help this defense out. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.800 I look at trade is in his second year, and 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.360 we'll be full, you know when you think about it too. 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.640 Now these guys are and they're real first you know, 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.200 pool training camp where they're you know, it's not the 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.480 whole COVID protocol here, and I think we're seeing a 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:28.160 couple of guys to step up. Candidate Maurice. Candidate has 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.520 looked good at the corner spot. Okay, this is this 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.680 is this is a player here. So we'll see said 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.480 of constiously optimistic man, because I think sometimes as Cowboys 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.000 media members, we want to find the positives and write 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.640 about the positives and talk about the positives without always saying, hey, look, 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.959 you know, who are they going against? What's going on here? 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.520 Because as much as we're talking about these five picks 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.079 and who's picking them off here? I mean Garrett Gilbert, 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.600 Ben Denucci and Cooper Rush. You know, these guys are 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.840 not expected to be playing on Sunday. And if they 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.960 are playing for the Cowboys or anybody other NFL team 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.959 on Sundays, it's probably not gonna be a good thing. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.560 This is true, This is true. All right. I want 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.520 to get back to the to the hog molleys. I 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.960 want to get back down to the giants and the trenches. 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.960 I mean where you got the witness you know, the 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.199 first pull full padded practices out there? Did the Big Three? 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.720 And you know Zach Martin, Tyrn Smith and Lyar were 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.920 they involved in any of these you know, defensive line, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.439 offensive line one on ones or battles in the trenches 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.080 like that? How did they look and how did this 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.520 defensive line look, you know, having them first full padded practice, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.480 because like we said, everybody looks good in shorts, but 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.720 did they look as good as they did in shorts 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.320 with these pads on? So when they started going into 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.480 the individual drills, I stood next to Nate Newtman. That 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.880 was great, what a great education. I mean, I wish 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.600 everyone could have had that opportunity that I had to 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.320 sit next to a Pro Bowl, three time NFL champion 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.440 and see what he's watching for Collins look good. Chemis 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.520 say that about it. Collins ended up looking very nice 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.120 and the the hips fluid and everything. Huh, And that 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.040 was what we looked about afterwards. Okay, hey, he just 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.520 had to play, just made a hit. So how's he 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.000 looking afterwards? So Collins is looking good man, and I 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.720 you know, I'm a fan. Connor Williams, according to Nate, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.040 not not what he wants him to be. He still 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.480 feels like he's too light. He also thinks that the 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.720 center tyler beyond it's his light. So he's got some 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.640 concerned about that that center guard. Combination of what he's 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.760 seeing right there. The far knock kid, he looked like 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.280 he's he's he's gonna have some ability here, so let's 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.360 see what he can do. Randy Gregory was hard to 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.480 block Randy Gregory. A player that I'm going to see 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.480 more out of, especially from a blocking standpoint, is Jeremy Sprinkle. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.440 The tight end had a couple of nice blocks in 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.240 these drills, event that they had them line up with 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.160 the offensive line. A number eighty seven kid from Arkansas 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.920 and I saw Sprinkle play in college. He ended up 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.000 coming to Fort Worth from a game with TCU that 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.920 they ended up winning in overtime, and I thought he 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.080 was a nice player. He was up in Washington at 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.480 it with JP Findlagon covers Watchington football team for NBC 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.760 Sports up there, and he felt that, hey, he's not 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.800 a real player. That the guy can't really you know, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.000 he couldn't help me in that Washington offense, and that 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.960 washing it off because they really wanted their they wanted 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.080 their tight ends to be more pass catches. I just 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.080 believe that the Cowboys need to have a tight end 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.720 who can block in this offense. Blake Jarwin's coming off 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.760 the ACL, so you still have to kind of be 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.280 wary of that. And then Dalton Schultz is not a blocker. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.360 Sean McKowen from Michigan. He's more of a blocker. But Sprinkle, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.000 you know, I think you need I think you need 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.640 four tight ends. I really do. Because you think we're 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.079 gonna carry four into the into the season. That's heavy 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.720 at that position it is, But you know, Sprinkles also 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.480 gonna have to play some special teams in church. I 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.440 keep coming back into this you're talk about seventeen game 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.800 season there, Okay, seventeen season. So so you're gonna give 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.920 Jarwin and Schoultz are going to make the team. Okay, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.880 so we know this. Mcwen made it last year, so 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.800 you could cut Sprinkle and then maybe get it back. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.000 But I can see them keeping four tight ends because 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.280 you've got to account for the fact that Jarwin is 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.200 coming off this injury. So if something happens the Jarwin, 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.839 now you've got you know, you got Sholts, you got 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.800 m Q. So I think Sprinkle can make the roster. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.439 Oh by the way, remember he's an Arkansas razor back. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.840 You know Jerry's got Josh even have they have a 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.480 place in their hearts for those razorbacks. You got that 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.280 connection man, And look the third and fourth tight and 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.840 if we're able to keep that that many at that position, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.880 they've got to be heavy contributors on special teams, especially 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.280 if they want to wear pads, if they want to 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.440 get get into that forty six man with the pads 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.400 on them on Sundays. They gotta contribute on special teams. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.480 So if I'm Sprinkle, if I'm the kid from Michigan, 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.760 you know I gotta become best friends with with with Fossil, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.160 I gotta become best friends with Bones out there if 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.840 I'm gonna, you know, try to make this team because 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.160 i mean, we're stacked everywhere else. I mean, it's it's 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.000 stacked everywhere. So it's gonna be tough making that that 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.559 position at that tight end. But we'll see, we'll see 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.560 if they're able to get get down with Special teams. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.439 Stay with what you're saying right there, coming off of 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.320 a cl you know you want jarwin nowhere near your 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.560 special teams right there, so you know you're you're taking 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.360 them off right there. But that's what we're talking about 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.319 was Sprinkle being able to block. So Sprinkle is able 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:05.880 to block here. So now you put that on your 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.920 punt team protection. You put that on you know, you 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.120 put that on point after, you know, So there's ways 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.679 where you can watch this guy get some stuff in 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.880 terms of Special teams that that's good. You know, I'm 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.520 gonna have to end up asking Fossil the next time 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.319 they let us talk to the coordinators about what he's 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.000 seeing from MQ and Sprinkle in terms of being Special 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:28.240 Teams contributors and what they're going to do. But Hey, Church, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.520 you played this league. Guys know when they're coming here. 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.160 They bought him into the rosters that they've got to 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.160 be special teams contributors. If they're just not going to 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.720 be able to get themselves out on the football field 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.880 of loss is just not got gonna happen. Hey, let's 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.959 squeeze this our first break when we come back. And 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.920 observation I had yesterday that I don't want to dive 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.240 too heavily in, But it was just an observation that 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.680 I ended up liking his head. This could be good 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.880 for the Dallas Cowboys.

I 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:52.880 hope you brother good. Yeah. So I wanted to touch 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.400 on something that as a conversation that we got to 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:56.680 meet with the meeting, so we get to talk to 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.760 four players every day. And Terrell Bash was a guy 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.320 that came over and one of the things I asked 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.520 him to say, what's your fans expect? What a what 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.560 are you? What are people gonna see? How do you 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.600 this year? He said, Man, energy, I am here to 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.040 bring energy. He's like, that is what we need, man, 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.320 we need energy. And he said, I'm tired of losing. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.200 He said, I know the Cowboys had a losing season 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:20.760 last year. Says, I don't see that two years ago. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.920 I said, man, I've never won. I want to win. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.760 And that's why it came here. And you know, he 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.240 talked about having jukes that on the field of Dan 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.120 Quinn's talked about that and and it just made me think, 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.119 you know what, how many times did you see the 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.520 Cowboys having have energy last year? And it's like, you know, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.600 this could be he could be bringing something that they need. 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.560 Which is, you know, just kind of an attitude, just say, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.320 hey man, let's have some energy, let's come out here, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.639 be focused, and let's roll. And a guy who is 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.959 tired of winning. I mean I'm always a fan of that. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:53.919 You know, it gets to a point in time in 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.320 your career where you're like, you know what, dude, I'm 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.280 tired taking these elves. I want some dubs. Yeah. And look, man, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.760 every team he needs at least one or two of 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.679 those guys that just bring that passion, that bring that juice, 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.399 that that energy to any certain situation. I mean, you 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.360 gotta have it one. You gotta have it to get 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.560 through camp. I mean those days are long, those weeks 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.000 get long, and when you start getting padded practice on 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.600 top of padded practice, it wears you down. But you 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.679 gotta have that one or two guys that are just 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.960 no matter what's going on. It could be the fifth 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.480 straight day in pads, you could be down twenty in 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.040 a game, it don't matter. They still bring that passion 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.239 at juice and then get you excited. I mean, for us, 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.840 it was a guy by the name of JJ Wilcox 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.320 who AKA we called him Juice Man because he brought 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.160 that juice no matter what time it was, he brought 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.600 the juice. And Tyron Crawford in his younger years, he 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.840 always was passionate about going hard in the paint, no 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.800 matter what was going on, whatever, no matter what the 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.520 coaches asked him to do. So you definitely need one 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.000 of those guys on the field that keep you energetic, 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.080 keep you getting, get you through practice, get you through 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.399 a game. And now hopefully he can bring that passion 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.720 because you're right, you know, I mean last year, all 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.000 we really saw was, you know, guys with their heads down, 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.879 you know, just communicating errors, guys looking at each other 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.439 in the finger, and you don't have that when you 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.920 got a passionate, when you got a passion about something, 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.159 and some of those guys out there last year they 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.120 just didn't have it. So hopefully Basham and a couple 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.320 other new guys that we bring him here, bring that 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.840
