WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Eying OTAs 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:05.200 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:13.240 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.439 Shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:23.000 official Dallas Cowboys apt Now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:28.760 and Nicky Spagnola, and it is time for another edition 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:34.360 of mix Shots inside the SWBC podcast studio here at 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:39.280 the Beautiful Star in Fresco. And it's not eleven thirty 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.040 on a Thursday. You know it's not Bill Jones with 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:48.000 Mickey Spagnola here in the SWBC podcast studio and Everson Walls, 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.600 who is here too, he's not in the studio. I 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.760 wonder if he's out on the practice field trying a 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.280 comeback with the Cowboys as they are out on the 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.440 practice field as we speak. I am actually doing that, Bill, 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.040 because I am here right now at the two Lane 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:12.840 Help System Professional Athlete care team building. Believe it or not, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.640 I am going for a comeback. At sixty two years old, 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:24.640 I have shrunk a half an inch and lost about 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.280 ten pounds for my playing days. So I'm ready. I'm ready. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.600 So they're assessing you, and you're being assessed. Well, I 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:40.760 am being assessed out of the ass okay, and and 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.160 for that big comeback, and so the Cowboys could use 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.200 you're coming back as a safety or a cornerback. Well, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.000 since my boy Marquis Bell is doing so damn well, 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.760 I guess I'm gonna have to come back at the 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.120 cornerback because he has the safety position locked down. According 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.760 to Mickey Stack, Noah, that's right, And I think that 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.760 we'll be interested to see how they use them again 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:11.200 this tomorrow when we actually get to watch practice. Yes, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.760 last week it was a Wednesday open practice for the media. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.160 This week it's a Thursday open practice for the media, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.720 which is why we are doing mix shots on Wednesday 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.400 at one pm instead of Thursday at eleven thirty. Ay. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.840 And as we go forward, just be very flexible because 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.079 next week's schedule is the same there it's open on Thursday, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.360 and then it's Minicamp week the week after that, and 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.359 then it's open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So we got some 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.880 forward planning to do when we're gonna continue doing mix 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.840 shots and before we take our summer break, a tractor that. 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.520 So everybody had a good Memorial Day weekend, Yes, I 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.079 know I did. I actually went to the Rangers game 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.959 when they played Tampa Bay, all right, and you saw 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.840 them when I saw them win. I saw Eli I 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:08.000 believe his name, and robbed I mean just as we 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.920 sat down, he robbed Joy. Okay, I think it was 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.480 a three run homer in the first end. If that 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.000 thing goes over the wall and doesn't come back, we're 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.840 looking at the totally different ball game. Guys. That's right, 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.000 Eli of white center fielder out of Clemson University who's 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:31.320 got a vertical that matches about Byron Jones's vertical apparently, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:39.080 or could probably broad jump like Byron Jones. That I mean, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.360 he didn't get up six feet let's say, like his 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:48.839 his his belt line was over the wall. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.720 that I thought his belt line was on on like 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.680 on top of the cushion that was at the top 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.720 of the wall. So yeah, he called it. How you 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.680 wanted that was? That was pretty impressed. Yep. And I 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.320 talked to him yesterday. He said in college at Clemson, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.200 he was measured it with a thirty seven vertical, but 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:11.200 he was like that he thinks he estimates he's probably 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.520 at a forty vertical. Now, you know what the amazing 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.120 thing is about this team being five hundred. Right now 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.080 is Martin Perez is the leading pitcher in the major leagues? 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.040 Right right? He had seven more shutout innings last night. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.760 It's a veteran lefty who was with the Red Sox 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.800 last year. As we are talking Rangers there, Well, but 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.559 I'm gonna tell you a funny story. It doesn't matter 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.640 if it's Cowboys or Rangers. Okay, you're gonna you're gonna 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.920 bring it back to Cowboy. No, no, I'm now let's 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:48.800 go to stay with Martin Perez. Um. You know, before 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.200 he left, Before he left the Rangers, like his last year, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:56.320 they didn't resign him, and every time he pitched, it 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.960 was just a struggle. And I was sitting there, going, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.159 what are they doing with this guy? Right? And a 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.919 friend of mine, his mother was upper eighties, almost ninety, 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.200 and she watched that's what his fastball was too back then. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.440 And did she watch which isn't good enough in the 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.440 big leagues anymore. She watched baseball every night, he told me, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.120 every night. And one day towards towards the ends of 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.240 the season, she calls him and goes, why are they 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:31.560 starting Martin Perez? And I said, I don't know, but 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.599 I said the same thing, right, and now he's turned 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.000 his career around this year. Yes, that's right, and uh 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.320 so's he would be your leading candidate to be the 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.719 American League starting pitcher in the All Star Game right now. Unbelievable, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.039 and it is Everson. He's got the lowest urn run 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.320 average in all of baseball right now, one sixty and 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.320 he got hit actually one forty two. Now. He got 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.000 hit with a ninety seven mile hour line drive last 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.440 night and then pitched better and they didn't get another 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.159 hit off from the rest of the Cowboys have scouts 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.920 out there right now to figure out if this can 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.800 convert to the football field. Maybe he can be a 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.560 backup murder. There you go, there you go. Well, let 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.280 before we go to get off the ranger thing. I 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:19.960 have an entirely new love for baseball fans because as 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.279 we came to the game, you know, you want to 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.039 go to your seat, and after while you're like, you 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.680 know what, all these open seats, I'm gonna sit anywhere there, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.800 and I want to sit, so I wanted. I wasn't 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.920 even sure if I was gonna write sections. So I 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.840 asked these guys of above me, some young cool white guys. Man, 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.000 they were just killing I said, hey, man, is this 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.200 sectually one thirty two? And they looked at me with 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.240 these beards like beard was in their eyes. You're like, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.720 I don't know, dude. We just moved out, so nobody 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.240 knows what they're sitting. But they started something. So we 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.160 started harassing the middle of the center fielder for Tampa 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.760 because he would never tell us the ball in our 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.640 section after warm ups. You know, they throw the ball 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.560 back and forth to each other between each inning. You know, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.599 they'll take a ball and throw it in the stands 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.000 for a kid with the with the glove. Right, So 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.120 there's Everson with his glove and won't throw you the 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:15.480 ball help his glove. But the kid next to me 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.280 had a glove and I was trying to help him 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.160 out of His name was Kayden, So kay I just 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.480 met the kids he's gotten sitting there with a glove. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.720 We strike up a conversation and every time the guys 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.040 seemed to look at us and look us off and 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.560 throw it another way. So all those those those beer 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.480 field guys behind us, they would I think his name 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:39.800 was Phillips by kurse Phillips out the entire game being 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:45.400 entired that you suck, you suck. I just I had 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.600 so much fun, man, I joined in with the guys 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:53.440 I met, you did I did seeing in in football, 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.920 you can't harass the playhers, right, Oh. In baseball, it's 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.480 a whole different ball game. Ball a little bit different. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.000 They're used to it. They're used to it in Tampa 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.680 or in Saint Pete and that stadium where they only 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.440 get like four or five thousand people though, so you 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.120 can hear every word. Try And Rangers played in Oakland 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.280 this week last Friday night. Their attendance was thirty five hundred. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.560 I covered a game. I didn't cover a game. I 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.080 watched the game in Kansas City when I was in 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.800 college at the old Stadiums Stadium and it was the 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.320 last year of the stadium before they built the new place. 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.520 And it was a night game, and I thought I 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:37.480 was in one of those minor league movie films because 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.600 I could hear the umpire Calleague balls up. It was 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:47.480 so desolate in there, right, it was like watching he 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.440 probably could too. But you can't harass football players who 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.880 are by the way out on the field today. Yeah, 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.559 and by the way, the Rangers back at five hundred 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.840 on the season, yes, twenty four and twenty four And 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.520 did you know this? Did you know this? With the 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.160 Mavericks advancing to the Western Conference Finals this year, the 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.920 Stars made the playoffs first round exit. Cowboys made the playoffs. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.640 This is the first time since two thousand and seven, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:19.520 the calendar year two thousand and seven, that the Cowboys, Stars, 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.560 and Mavericks have made the playoffs in the same year. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.280 And we're counting this, Oh, you're counting the boys. The 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.720 playoff games are being played in this calendar year, this 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.880 first time in fifteen years, and it's never happened before 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.240 that the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars and Rangers have been in 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:44.760 the playoffs in the same year. Who's caused that to happen? Like, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.560 who didn't hold up there under the bargain? Well, it's 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.400 just this very year to year the Rangers have been 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.040 in the playoffs, you know. But those years the maybe 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.840 the Stars or the Mavericks didn't make it or the Cowboys. 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:02.640 The Cowboys didn't in two thousand and t so they 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.080 own that. And then you go back ninety six, ninety eight, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.880 and ninety nine, the Rangers are in the playoffs, but 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.040 the Mavericks were down before they got Dirk. So anyway, 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.360 that's a little bit of trivia there. I like that absolutely, 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.040 So maybe this will be the year there you go, 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.120 all right, And just so you guys know, I've got 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.280 to say I'm here. I'm here in New Orleans doing 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.240 this thing right, getting this assessment. And uh. I have 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:36.080 been on the phone with Uncle Lonzo and Aunt hunt Nikki. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.679 These are that's and uncle of Marquis Bell. Oh really, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.680 I have problem with film that I would take care 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:51.479 of their little nephews. I've talked to everybody but Marquise. Okay, Oh, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.199 I've talked to the entire family, and boy, they are 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.199 so proud of him. I have found out so much 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.920 about this young man, even more than Usepagnolah. So oh no, well, 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.760 I'm gonna have to brief you. You know when you 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.880 talk about high characters, and you know everybody's gonna say 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.040 that about their own kid, but I truly believe it 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.880 with this young man. They call him a high character 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.600 kid as fact, and you know how much we like 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:20.559 that bill high character individual. They talked about his athleticism. 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:25.040 He played every sport guy, he played every sports up 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:29.360 for hockey, all right, And so this guy is extremely athletic. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.840 And I asked his uncle as to listen, can he 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.280 go as a safety? Does he have the range to 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.480 go to the ball and gather himself to go up 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.679 and get it as he arrived at that point, and 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:48.040 he said absolutely absolutely. So as far as I'm concerned, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.560 if he can do that, we got all the linebackers. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.920 We need spags, we need safeties that can make play. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.079 I think if I remember correctly for track, I think 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.720 he was like a hydra him for two Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.680 that's what he was. He was a high jumper and 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.560 a long jumper, and that just lets you know that 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.559 he has the hops and he has the footwork to 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.240 make those plays on deep balls. And you know me, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.560 that's what I'm looking forward to. So when I finally 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.600 started working with this kid, or at least just talking 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.440 to him and putting putting a bug in his ear, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.040 just tell them to stay the same. Right now, guys, 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.920 he's the press, the candidate for a surprise to make 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.720 this team and to make an impact. I've already pointed 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:35.280 that out. So you're you're late down that one, Well, 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.200 what you need to do is come out here for 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.520 the mini camp practices, so you can go in and 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.560 introduce yourself. I am definitely gonna do that because he 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.880 won't answer my phone calls. Well, here's what we need 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:51.280 to do, Mickey, you this is your assignment sometimes show. Now. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.000 We're in the month of June. Okay, training camp starts 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.080 next month, so time is running short here. But you've 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.680 got OTAs this week, OTAs next week, miniicamp the following week, 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.520 whenever we schedule the mix shots for maybe the following 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.040 week maybe I don't know if we're working into the 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.320 schedule minicamp week or what. But when he's still on 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.520 campus here, we need to have him in studio and 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.800 tape mix shots with Everson here and having Marcus Bells 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.560 show before we get the training before training. Kit's right, 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.200 that's right, all right, I'm game for that, guys. I'm 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:32.080 definitely ready. Sat. That's good stuff, good stuff, all right. Well, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:37.120 m So the Cowboys, Well, we'll see him practice again tomorrow. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.360 And from what I hear or what it looks like, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:48.800 is that at least James Washington might be out of 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.080 his boot and be able to do some of the 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:58.400 grass work. I mean, he's still rehabbing, probably but looks 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:05.720 like he's progressing, looks like Jalen Tolbert is progressing. So 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.200 the wide receiver position maybe by mini camp will look 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.320 a little bit more normal than what we saw last 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.400 week when it was Ceedee Lamb and Semi Fijoko and 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.400 Noah Brown out there with the first team. That'll probably 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:28.760 make everybody feel a little bit better about that wide 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:33.880 receiver position, you know. And I think back to last 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.880 week seeing Zeke out there. I don't know how much 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.000 we talked about it, and if we have, just remind me, 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:46.200 but boy, he's really scoutined out there. He looks like 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.000 he's got his legs back under him, the way he 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.200 looked in the first couple of games of the season 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.520 when they did a little bit of running and some blocking. 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.240 By the way, with the exception of the first game, 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.960 because they basically gave up trying to run against Tampa 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:07.680 Bay and ended up throwing for gosh, four hundreds, all 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.800 I remember is Dak had more yards passing than Tom 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:16.600 Brady did in that game. But if Zeke's got himself 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:22.480 back after the PCL sprain, he could be in for 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.680 something big this year, especially if if that they found 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.760 a second tight end that can go out there and 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.560 block when they go two tight ends. I looked it up. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.000 I think it was after our show last week, and 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.160 if this was accurate, twenty five percent of their snaps 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.880 were in two tight end, but they didn't really block 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.720 that well when they were in two tights. So which 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.800 guard do you think will be that? That's right, and 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.120 that's what they ended up doing, right. They put Connor 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.640 Connor mcgovernn out there basically as a guard or used 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:04.320 the fullback instead. Now they've got a legitimate fullback on 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:10.480 them and a legitimate guard who will also first round 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:15.200 guard who will also work at tackle. Pick for the 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:20.000 team guard. Yes, thank you. He will work at tackle also, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.600 by the way, because do you suspect he will work 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.400 at tackle this week? I think I think there's a 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.280 possibility he will do both. Okay, he will be out 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.320 of starting guard for the season. Okay, I'm calling it 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.160 right now, but he's got to earn it, which which 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.040 frees up McGovern to be the starting second tight end. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.480 Second tight end unless Jake Ferguson is the real deal. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.440 And I'm thinking if you drafted a tight end from Wisconsin, 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.480 as much as they run the ball, they got better 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:57.120 be able to block right, otherwise, otherwise he might not 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.800 even been a fourth round pick. So this too tight 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.640 end off and McCarthy loves tight ends. I mean as 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.960 early as the third round, you know, he's pounding the 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.240 table to get a tight end. And a bunch started 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.520 going off the board at that point. So who are 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.840 you considering the true fullback? Ryan Nall or Nick Rolston? 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.119 What about Nick? And Cowboys had a true fullback on 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:29.600 the didn't have him active enough. Yeah, at least the 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:36.920 other guys got Nalls, got experience, right, we forgot that 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.919 we actually had a fullback. That's right, Nick Ralston. You 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.440 know you know how players advanced from their first year 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.000 to their second, Well, then it's time. That's a big 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.479 training camp battle, right, And that was a big training 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.640 camp story, by the way, last summer for Bill. That's right. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:59.440 Training He found his mom and dad at training that's right. Yeah, 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.360 great human. You know how you know an investigative reporter, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.359 Bill is they were probably the only two people that 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:15.320 had Ralston on seats in the crowd. That's right. Always 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:19.000 for the underdog man, I try, especially if that underdog 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:23.200 went to high school around here. Yeah, that's why I've 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:28.520 always been an Everson Walls fan, going back to try. 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.280 All right, we're just getting started on this edition of 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.280 mix Shots, and we will continue in just a moment. 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.600 Brace yourself for an existential question.

On 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.879 a Wednesday afternoon. Cowboys have been on the practice field 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:11.240 for another OTA session today close to the media. Mickey 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.040 has his sources, however, and they will be open to 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:21.000 the media tomorrow on Thursday. Everson Walls is in New 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:26.879 Orleans joining us and Mickey the kicking situation with the 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:31.840 Cowboys hires. How concerned are you with that? Well, hopefully 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.359 we'll get to see Garabay do some kicking, because the 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.199 undrafted free agent from Texas Tech, right, because most of 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.840 the kicking that we've seen so far in the rookie 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:46.040 mini camp and last week's OTA took place indoors, and 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.200 so we really haven't seen him. But I'm told he's 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:55.600 got a live leg, which is good. Right. Oh no, wait, wait, wait, 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.120 hopefully he's got two, because you did a plant leg 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:05.080 as well as the kicking leg. Former former kicking coach 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:10.280 Steve Hoffman. Uh instructed me to just listen to the ball, 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.360 how it pops off a guy's foot, and if it 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.640 makes that good sound, then the guy's got a live leg, 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.200 like he can kick the ball. Now, it's got to 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.199 be kind of like it. I kind of like to 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.159 look at it with my eyes and see if it 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.239 goes between the cold post. Now, you got to hear 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:27.960 it right, It's got to have that. Yeah, you gotta 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:31.320 have that matter. It doesn't matter if it's twenty five 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:33.879 yards or forty five yards. It needs to sound to 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.760 say it sounds like a baseball scout. You can You 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.040 don't even have to watch a guy in batting practice. 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.080 All you gotta do is just listen and you can 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:45.560 tell whether he can hit or not. You or the 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:50.879 or the best uh college softball player from Oklahoma right 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:58.080 now uh Al from Hawaii from Hawaii, Joscelyn Alo home 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:04.520 run hitter, yes, and reading stories about him, reading stories 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.280 about her. She's got some pop in her band, Yes, 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.440 she does. The reason I brought up Kicker the Lions 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:14.480 have released Aldric Rosas, So there you go. There's another 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.600 kicker that you can bring in. I think he came 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.920 through here once for a not I mean, I think 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.400 like a tryout or something like that. Tho, well that's 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.080 what and that's what's going to happen here now getting 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.040 closer to the camp, the teams start shedding a veteran 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:34.160 guy for a younger guy that might be looking good 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:38.000 in these preseason workouts. So, and by the way, today 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:47.240 is June first, first, So tomorrow June second, Leale collins 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:52.560 uh salary cap hit and bass salary will hit the 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:56.240 Cowboys cap. So what does that mean? So that means 0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.840 that his bass salary, which was off the top of 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:04.600 my head, like ten ten million dollars, now they can 0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.760 use that money because they released him as a June 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:14.000 one post June one release and then the dead money 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.359 and I'm doing this off top of my head was 0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:20.000 like thirteen million. So five million this year and eight 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.320 million next year. How much money is that free up? 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.680 So we can go sign somebody a couple million dollars? 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:29.800 All right, who do you want to go sign? Yeah, 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.520 let's get it out there. Briona is rushing it the 0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:38.240 law because he wants a solution. That's right, Well, he 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:42.480 certainly don't need if you save five five million dollars 0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:44.600 or so you don't need that on a kicker, by 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.600 the way, because you've signed your draft class YEP, so 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.840 you don't need Now did they finish did they get 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:57.040 the who was not signed? I thought one guy virtually 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.280 Ferguson maybe was there's your I don't know it did 0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:02.679 or not, there's your tight end. Yeah, he'll be signed. 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:06.800 And as you're seeing around the league, guys are starting 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:10.480 veteran guys without jobs, they're starting to find conscient and 0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.800 there could be some guy's release now, yes too. After 0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:18.560 June first, first right news around the league, Stefan too It, 0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:22.679 defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers, surprisingly announced his retirement 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:27.320
