WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Sunday Prep 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.000 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:16.840 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:21.000 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:25.720 Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:33.040 and Nicky Spagnola. It's a fabulous Football Friday edition of 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.479 mix Shots. As we get you set for the final 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:41.040 game of the two thousand twenty one preseason Sunday at 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.280 noon at at and T Stadium, Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.440 and the Jacksonville Jaguars are coming to town. But right now, 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.080 Mickey Spagnola has just returned from Ford Center where the 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.040 Cowboys at practiced, and I can't wait to get that 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.320 practice report from Mickey. He has a booty full of 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.160 information about that's right. I saw Everson as he walked 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.759 into the Star in Frisco, and I saw the life 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:11.520 of a superstar, even in retirement and National Football League superstar. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.440 He can't even go from his parking space into the 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:22.400 start without fans saying, hey, commy, commy, can I get 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.720 a picture? You know, they get more and more devious 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.440 every time, you know, he calls me cumby. You know 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:39.360 he's name association, right, the former teammate, one of the 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:44.559 white friends from Hamilton Park. Yeah, well, speaking of Hamilton's Park. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.440 So since this guy started on Mick Shots, he's all 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.360 over TV now too. People know he's here man last night, 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.000 last night, he's all over the TV because of the 0:01:55.120 --> 0:02:00.360 new coach, Trey Bryant. Yes, the first African American head 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.680 coach at Berkener High School. They also they had an 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.240 African American coach when I first came to Berkener. And 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.560 you know the way the school system was, as you're 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.520 going to integrate the young kids and African American kids, 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.080 you have to have some association, so they would choose 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:24.400 certain educators or even coaches to make that transfer as well. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.800 And so one of those transfers was coach John Freeman. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.240 And he just happened to be my dad's teammate at 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.800 Preview A and M. So that puts some real undue 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:39.000 pressure on that. So, now, what was your association with 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.680 coach Bryant. Trey Bryant was. I played on that Berkener 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.960 squad with his father with his father, his father, Bubba 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.000 Lee Bryant. His name is Lee Brian. We just called 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.360 him Bubba ly and he's passed on since. Just a 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.920 really cool dude. But he was the one that we 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.400 beat up on because he was on JV so my 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.960 one year playing in high school, he was. He was 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.240 on the practice class, you know. But this was another 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:08.840 instance of Hamilton Park right right right, that's exactly right, 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.720 that's right, all right. So are they sharpening in any 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.280 iron out on the practice? Sharpened a lot of iron 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.720 out on that practice field today. You know what, it 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.880 was a full practice. It wasn't like we're backing off 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.560 to get ready for the game on Sunday since it's Friday. Uh. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.480 It was a full practice in pads. Uh. Dak was 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.920 sharp as sharp could go. Another and he was in 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.120 team and he was he was throwing the ball on 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.320 the run. He was thrown with velocity. Uh and looked 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.920 really really good. And we'll talk more about that. DeMarcus 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.880 Lawrence was back on the field in team for the 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.320 first time. Uh. And of course, you know, fresh legs, 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.880 he's off the line of scrimmage like he's just screaming, right, 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.280 So he was back out there. Uh. Malik Turner the 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.200 wide receiver, full practice for the first time since he 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.120 I think it was an ankle maybe, so he was 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:11.720 out there. Not out there, Layton vander esh he there's 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.320 some bug going around the locker room and it's not 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.560 COVID related, you know, It's like, can can anybody get 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.080 sick these days without it being COVID? Right, And so 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.040 that's been going around and he missed and then Lele 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.960 Collins walked off after the first part of practice, and 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.440 he walked off with Jim Mauer. When they went to 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.719 the sideline, the Cowboys, a head trainer h Doctor Cooper 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:42.000 met him and they talked to doctor Cooper and the 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.560 three of them went in and he never came back. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.559 And the only thing I saw was Jim Mauer looking 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.120 at doctor Cooper and going like this. He was patting 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.040 right underneath his neck on his chest. So I don't 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.760 know if that was some indication of what the problem was, 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.160 because you remember, was it a week ago or so 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.320 Lele missed a couple of practices, was a I think 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.640 it was a neck issue, so it might be the 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.640 front of his neck. I don't know, but yeah, so 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.120 he missed the majority of the team the team session, 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:16.080 which was uh, you know, somewhat troubling. Uh. And then 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:22.280 what else, Uh, zer Line. Greg Zerline kicked again and 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.760 he went eight of nine time, so much more Mickey's 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.520 approval a little bit more. I feel a little bit 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:35.479 better about that. And and watched thirty three through forty 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.760 nine and he missed from forty six, but he did 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.520 make forty seven and forty nine. Um. I did see 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.760 one low snap come in the ball landed flat on 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:54.960 the ground by the LP on speed dot H And 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.640 as usual, the one he missed a he hooked it left. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.680 So it doesn't matter that this guy's been in the 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.120 league for a decade and been to the Pro Bowl. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:14.040 I'm just keeping an eye on that's right. So uh. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.760 And then they finished practice with a little bit of 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.400 a walk through. They took the helmets off. I think 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:24.200 the pads came off too, and uh. And then afterwards 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.360 when we went out on the track to do our 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:31.520 socially distanced to interviews with the players. Uh, it looked 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.240 like the majority of the guys out there were the 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:39.880 veterans and they were doing windsprints. Look good, they're finally 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.880 starting to get in ship in shape. Right first day 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.680 of training camp, it was like it was I think 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.279 a little bit it had to do with just continuing 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.520 to acclimate to the heat. Um, which I guarantee you 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:57.560 that because here's the deal today, I'm sure McCarthy would 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.240 have loved to have been out in the heat again 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.200 today to get for Tampa, which is thirteen days away, 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.240 but a little bit better out there to day. But yesterday, yeah, right, 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.080 but this was a open practice that fans could come to, 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.680 and so it had to be indoors at Ford Center 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.320 for fans to be able to observe. And since the 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.200 practice started at eleven fifteen, and I think it was 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.840 it was an adult fan practice, right right. There weren't 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.400 any kids there. It was an adult crowd. And then 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.280 it's getting to and so I'm sure he would have 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.720 liked to go on and tomorrow for the walkthrough, right, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.520 but it's indoors again, right, it's open again fans, that's right, 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.200 So there'll be some kids out tomorrow. Yeah, and they're 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.960 only going for an hour tomorrow, I think, yeah, ten fifty, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.800 it's an hour earlier. It's if memory serves me right, 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.680 on the schedule, the practice is from ten fifteen to 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.520 eleven fifteen tomorrow because they got a clear out, that's right. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.240 Games we've got hey, Everson We've got the Jerry Jones 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:58.120 Classic tomorrow afternoon at Ford's Center High School football Denton 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.040 Ryan versus Long View. So you go to it. That's 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.360 my people. So'd you go to it? Yeah? Both sides 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.360 of the family. All right, you'll have to come out 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.400 for the Jerry Jones Classic. Man, I'll have a lot 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.160 of people yelling coming. Well, yeah, a lot of people 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.680 do claim me. So did you go to a game 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.600 last night? I watched one on TV. Watched it on TV. Yeah, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.600 at at and T Stadium last night. It was South 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.280 Lake Carol and Highland Park. Wow. So a nice game. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.520 South Lake Carol smoked him. Well, you know their quarterback 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:40.280 quin Yours declared for the draft. He declared for for 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.800 South Lake Carol, number one quarterback recruit in the nation. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.319 And I'm about a month ago the name, image likeness 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.280 thing that now college athletes can take advantage of high 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.840 school athletes in Texas cannot take advantage of it. And 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.880 so he has moved on to Ohio State. And so 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.880 it's a great story where he can make money, right, 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:06.040 And seriously, we're talking up to a million. It could 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.320 be even more now I don't know, but at the 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.800 time we're talking. He had an opportunity to make up 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.640 to a million dollars in endorsements, and he couldn't do 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.839 it here, And he couldn't do it if he wasn't 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.199 in college. And I mean, so he was in a position, 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.920 Yeah right, maybe he doesn't need to go to college. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.840 He took, he took. He was on track to graduate, 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.520 and so he took one online class that he was 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.400 able to take in like three weeks time, got graduated 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.560 and wound up showing up late at Ohio State after 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.360 their preseason drill started. So anyway, here's a great story though. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:48.280 The quarterback for South Lake Carroll Caden Anderson is his name. 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.400 Coming off an ACL injury last year, he finds out 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.439 a month ago. He's a junior, big prospects six four, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.520 two hundred pounds. You watched him. Uh, the great story 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.320 about his father. He dedicated the game to his father. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.600 His father passed away a year ago this week. Oh 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.400 my yeah, I mean I'm rooting so so much for 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.520 this kid. And uh he had u uh and it 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.360 was a sudden it was he had was diagnosed with 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.720 a brain tumor, and three weeks later he wasn't here. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:25.120 And so and so South Lake Carol put up forty six. Okay, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.520 but to building. Yes, in fact, their quarterback from from 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.600 last year, Braden Shager, who's a kid that Babe Laufenberg has. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.920 He's schooled and to be a quarterback since he was 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.839 eight years old. Uh so he's good in spite of 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:46.800 the okay that show. Braden is at the University of 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.360 Hawaii and he is as a true freshman, just got 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.920 on campus this summer. Is the backup quarterback at AAI. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:57.120 They play UCLA I think this weekend, sol uh and 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.240 we get some college football tomorrow, right, we do, right, yea, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.400 So it's all starting. It's and ready to go. Hang 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.480 in and one of these days when we don't have 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.760 a lot going on, I got some nick shots on 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:13.440 that that likeness stuff. Oh right, yeah, you can educate 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.079 me even more. Yeah, you know, I'm all in. It's 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:22.520 going to be some serious unintended consequences for amateurs. Yeah, well, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:28.680 I don't are they still amateurs if someone's paying them? 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.959 Where did I see one of the schools that they 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.000 were the guys that are walk on that aren't on scholarship. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:40.760 Somebody donated money to pick I think it's by Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.760 all right. Of course, Cowboys play Jacksonville on Sunday. And 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.760 earlier this week, urban Meyer said that he's going to 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.400 play his starters. He's going to start his starters. That 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.520 was when he named Trevor Lawrence as his starting quarterback. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.319 And I saw Bruce Arians today came out and said, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.280 and of course this is the Cowboys opponent in thirteen days. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.440 The starters are going to play the first half of 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.280 their final preseason game against Houston. He says they need 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.360 some game snaps they need and so are they now rugly. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.960 He also Arians also reserved the right to change two years. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.839 He reserved the right to change his mind though too. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.400 So sometimes that just that you're just getting the attention 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.640 to the players in practice where you got a good 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.559 couple of good practice. I think he's just trying to 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.760 get a field. Yeah, I really think he's just trying 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.480 for not just his team, but for this professional level. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.160 He's on right, And but for a lot of teams 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.440 now it's not so much for Dallas and Tampa Bay 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.320 because they're playing the Thursday game. I mean, these games 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.640 this weekend are when you traditionally would play your dress 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:50.600 rehearsal game. From a calendar standpoint, two weeks away from 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.240 the first Sunday of the season, and so I think 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.840 you're going to see more teams play starters this weekend 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.439 than what you normally would see in the last preseason game. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.360 So did you bone up on your Trevor Lawrence history. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.480 I'm working on it. Work, I'm working on it, yep. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.280 All right. So, and you know there's a former Cowboy 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.840 player starting for Jacksonville, Damien Wilson. That's right, that's right, 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.720 got went to Kansas City, got on the Super Bowl ring, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.840 went to the Super Bowl the next year, and then 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:24.800 they parted ways. We had two former linebackers Hinton as well. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.719 The Hitchings was right, Yeah, we got them, and then 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:33.679 jackson Jacksonville also had Jihad Ward. Yep, had Ward is 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.000 earning the praise of Urban Meyer. I had this press 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.880 conference some former assistant coaches on their roster, and what 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.880 did I do with my Jacksonville deal. I highlighted a 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.280 couple of guys that are coaching there, the only ones 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.480 I've looked at so far, Darryl Bevill as their offensive coordinator, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:56.480 Joe Culling their defensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer as their quarterbacks 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.319 coach and pass game coordinator. And of course, uh Mike 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.280 McCarthy as a history with the Schottenheimer family. Marty he 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.560 coached with him in Kansas City. You know, Mickey here 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.720 is about Everson. He is about to interview the head 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.079 coach as soon as Mick shots is over. You know, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.400 comes early. I think we can invite him in. And 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.760 we got a microphone and a chair right over there 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.000 for the head coach. If you can pull those strings, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:25.720 I'm glad so Jack Deonville's wide receivers coach, san Jay 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.680 Lyle Okay offensive line coach. And this goes way back 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.320 George Warhop he was a Cowboys offensive line coach and 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.600 the guy that Cowboys gave a chance. Former player, he 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.120 was assistant on special teams maybe two years ago. Carlos 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:48.080 Polk Okay is with Jacksonville. All right, So so here's 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.800 what I want to do. Since Mickey and you probably 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.880 haven't come up with your questions for the coach yet. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.000 You probably need some help. I need some help, okay, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.640 all right, so tweet unprepared. You can tweet me at 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.720 CB yes eleven, Bill Jones, what do you want? Maybe 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.680 Mickey will take your questions for it and take him 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.520 to the head coach. I highly doubt it, but I 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.000 offer that service up. I'll let you guys make a 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.000 suggestion here. What do you want to know? Because I 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.400 think I only got three or four minutes, that's all. Yeah, 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.600 it's it's weird because we normally would do the head 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.560 coach live during the pregame show from the stadium, and 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.840 so we taped it the last couple of times, but 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.160 it just kind of looks weird where we're all out 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.480 at the stadium and then all of a sudden, I'm 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.520 on the set interviewing Mike, and so they said, maybe 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.560 we're okay, he's on the set here at the time. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.600 So now, the first two games it didn't look as 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.480 odd because the team was on the road. I mean, 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.520 well the Arizona game, yeah, so but yeah, so anyway, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.680 well but we'll see. So what do you want about? 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.880 Five questions? What do you have? Five question What do 0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:01.640 you want to know? Okay, what's your first question? So 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.120 I did this because I'm trying to prepare Mickey for it. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.520 Probably something about his head, right, you know, something about 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:12.760 that for some reason, that last preseason game, you're going 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.400 to take another look at Cooper Rush. Are you going 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.960 to give him a decent opportunity with some of the 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.200 offensive lineman actually playing with him? All right? And Everson, 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.280 how would you answer that question? If I was Paul McCarthy, 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:32.720 I would tell him to go to him that next question, 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:38.800 next question, none of your business. Might ask him something 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.440 about how they've handled the outbreak of COVID. They did 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.200 get Malie Cooker. I did say that, right. I don't 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.520 know that you did. That is a very impertinent point. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.680 He's back in pro he's back in practice today, and 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.320 then they have the pseudo walk through or whatever tomorrow 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.680 and then so he'll be playing in the game on something. 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.440 But they're still gonna have guys missing, And I'll probably 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.240 ask him, what do you think the you know, opportunity 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.360 is for the rest of the guys to get back 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.040 in time before you actually start your first game week, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:13.080 which would be a week from today next Friday. You know, 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.320 you don't, you don't have This doesn't have to be 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.560 a question. We can all look it up. But has 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:22.640 he ever not played his starting quarterback an entire preseason. 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.879 That's kind of unusual. I like that, it really is. Well, yeah, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.399 last year. I mean, everybody starts off with it last 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:36.840 year outside of last but everybody didn't quarterback last year, 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.960 and it didn't affect Dak because he got off to 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.200 the heck of a start, right. They were averaging thirty 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:47.000 two points a game those first five games. So and 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.200 then I'll probably ask him something about Dak how he's 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.679 looked in his first live team drills, which I know 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:59.040 the answer, he's looked awfully, awfully well, I mean today 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.760 was really sharp with some of the throws he made. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.280 And so and maybe we answer this question because it 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.240 keeps coming up to me, so I know what the 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.760 answer should be, but it should come from him. The 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:17.080 question seems to be going round is do the Cowboys 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.040 have to pull back on their offense to protect Dak's 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.480 arm or are they worried about his ankle because he 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.680 hasn't done this. And my answer to that is if 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.639 they have to change the offense, like we're not going 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.720 to throw a ball past twenty yards or we're not 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.920 going to have him roll out and throw on the 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.760 run because we're worried about his ankle, then he shouldn't 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.320 be playing. You got to be able to go and 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:45.560 Kellen Moore tried to emphasize that yesterday. He said, we're 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.919 going out to play football. That was his answer, and 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.520 then I think he followed, we're gonna play ball, and 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.080 that's what they should do, because if you're going to 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.880 go out there and try to put reins on him, 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.760 which you can't, right, and he wouldn't follow those directions anyway, 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.520 then he shouldn't be out there, like, you know, I'm 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.119 not going to call a bootleg because I'm worried about 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.120 him running or and you know, and and I'm sure 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.719 they've had the discussion about him pulling the ball down 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.280 and running, right, but I think the emphasis on that 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.680 is get what you can and go down, because that's 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.359 how he got hurt. Seven yards would have been just 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.840 fine against the John. The guy was lightweight. I mean, 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.080 he had them by twenty pounds. Probably the guy that 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.080 the guy to tackle out. It was just the way 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.400 it went down, well, and so that was the guy 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.639 wrapped his legs around his to bring him down, and 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.199 you know, he's gotta do what he's got to do 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.760 to bring him down because he's undersized, right, So he 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:46.960 was just a you know, he was a victim. But 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.560 now I don't need the eighth yard seven's good and 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.600 see you touched on everything that was going to ask you. 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.960 First of all, I think he needs not just him, 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:03.040 but the offensive line himself. They need practices like that. 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.080 I mean, they've got to get into that rhythm. I mean, 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.159 this is the only time they have a chance to 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:12.119 do it. Was the first team verse first team early 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:16.919 in practice. It was yes, and I wrote down some 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.680 of his throws and the boy, he was right on 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:24.159 the money a bunch of times. They this is something 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:28.120 that can also kind of, uh just kind of make 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.080 him ease up a little bit in regards to how 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.919 anxious he is, because you can feel it. You can 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.720 see it on the whole shows. That's not an act. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.600 I mean he's and you could you could imagine it 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.479 wasn't like he played an entire season last year and 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.760 now he's starting off not getting to play in the preseason. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.080 I mean he had he missed twelve games, rights eleven games. 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:54.000 That is that's just you know, his blood is boiling. 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.560 I'm sure it's basically eleven and a half games. So yeah, 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.919 I mean you got that's just you know, yeah, and 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.200 when you're the starting quarterback and now you're making this money, 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.280 you're feeling this, you're feeling that. So many different variables 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.080 in regards that why these practices. I think he needs 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.879 them more than anyone. But I think the entire I 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.040 think more the offense mostly they need this as far 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.520 as the line and Zeke himself, you know, and maybe 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.080 the concession they make. I would think early in the game, 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.439 just let him have a couple easy completions, maybe a 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:29.400 little out, uh, you know, a little five yard ten 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:36.240 yard pattern, dumped the ball to Zeke, you know, first place. Yeah, 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:41.520 we'll show you right, everybody back up. Nothing wrong with 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.000 my arm, that's right. So I see no concessions. Yeah, 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.440 but I would think just the just the first game 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.720 when you haven't played, just to get his confidence read. Well, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:55.399 well you've got the sssions, but you got Zeke back here. Yeah. 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.560 So and you've got this offensive line who's raring to 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.000 go forward. So I mean, you're gonna be what you're 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.880 gonna be. You're gonna be that same team that you're 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.120 intended to be two years ago, and of course even 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.720 last year when Zeke wasn't having such a great year 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.919 before dad got hurt. So, speaking of Zeke type, how 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.280 about if we speak of Zeke when we come back 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:21.919 here shots Okay, what a t Zeke talk when we 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.520 come back In just a moment, we were just getting 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.280 in tuney big news.
