<v Speaker 1>in Frisco. Mickey Spagnola inside the SWDC Mortgage Studios. I'm

<v Speaker 1>Bill Jones at home, Everson Walls at home in front

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of the picture of himself, and yes, it is Falcon's

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>week all across the Great Southwest. How are you doing? Guys?

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel a little egotistical now since you kind of

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>all the out on my picture. I might change it now.

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow you might see something else. Just just can't help

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>noticing it over your shoulder there. I still say it

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>looks a lot like Larry Brown. But you say, did

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>not deal. These are the old uh Road Blue jerseys,

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>The old Road blue jerseys. Larry Brown knows nothing about

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>those are those the ones that had that's the one

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>that had the jinks on them. But we did win

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that game, all right. I didn't believe in that well,

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>judging by the New Road Blue Jerseys on Sunday night.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>It looks like the Jinks is back. Maybe maybe and

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>get back in the whole whites at noon Sunday against

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Falcons. What do you say, Nikki? Or maybe

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>put them in the whites without names and numbers so

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that the opponent doesn't know who's out there. Right Well, uh,

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>cowboys on the practice field, back to work today. We

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>heard Mike McCarthy this morning. That's where we'll kick things off.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I've been studying the Atlanta Falcons this morning. In fact,

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>just got off the elliptical about an hour ago and

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>watch the entire game, the condensed version and not the

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>three hour version against the Seahawks. I got some thoughts

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on that and how in the NFL the little things

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>matter so much, which might be once again what the

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>coaches talking to his team about this morning when they reconvened.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.399
<v Speaker 1>But Mickey, what's your take on how things are going

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>out there at the start to day. Well, there seems

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to be a lot of roster juggling going on, a

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of movement to the injured reserve, to the practice squad,

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to the fifty three man roster, to talk into guys

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that could be on the fifty three man roster. So yeah,

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of moving parts out here after the rash

0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 1>of injuries and maybe the you know, we knew about

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Layton Vandersch probably out eight weeks, had surgery to repair

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.519
<v Speaker 1>the fractured collar bone. You know, we knew Lell Collins

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.839
<v Speaker 1>was on injured reserve already, and you know, I would

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>imagine the hope is he only has to miss the

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>mandatory three games with his hip injury. We knew that

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Blake Jarwin was going on injured reserve, we'll have surgery

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to repair a torn acl. He's basically done for the season.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>But what we didn't know and found out today was

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that Sean Lee, the reason he's on injured reserve not

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to rehab a sports hernia. But last week he

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>had surgery to repair the sports hernia and he's likely

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>out going to miss six weeks, so five more after

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>this weeks or after the first week of the season.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>So so that's somewhat concerning because you were hoping that

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Lee would be back, you know, kind of grit

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>your teeth two more games and then he'd be back

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>on the field. But not so much so I think

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys understand, and also with cam Irving sprained mcl

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>initially we were here in two to four, but now

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy said four to six, so the Cowboys and

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>he's so they basically put him on injured reserve to

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>create another roster spot. And now they're searching for offensive

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>tackles to help with the depth on this team since

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>they had to start an undrafted rookie free agent at

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing against undrafted rookie free agents. But I just don't

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>want that guy at right tackled too long. So we'll

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>see where this goes here in the next couple of days.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>What the hell's were with it? I know when I

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>was getting ready, I knew I was kind of stepping

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>on it right now. That's a that's a great point. Everson. Well,

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>you know when you talk about how you were talking

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>still correct? Are we talking still? Terence still? Yes? Tern

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>still yeah. You know, when you look at how he played, uh,

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>he did give up a very untimely sack that kind

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.679
<v Speaker 1>of led to out themyes for more than one drive.

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 1>But when you when you think about the you know,

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the job that he did overall, I thought it was

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it was as good as anyone else on that offensive line.

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Let's be real, guys. The second half of that game.

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>First of all, Da, Dak and Zeke were just bawling.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the whole offense was just clicking on on

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>on all cylinders. And then in the second half the

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Rams turned it up. And when they turned it up,

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I would call several times in the second half, especially

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>on key third downs, I couldn't even see Dak in

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the pocket. He was totally surrounded by Rams and he

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>had no way to step into any of his throws.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>That was not just still, that was that entire Rams

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>defensive line coming to play. I don't know what adjustments

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 1>they made, whether it was an attitude adjustment or whether

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.679
<v Speaker 1>it was something on paper, but they were a different

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>defensive line in the second half of that game, you

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>know everything. I'm glad you pointed that out because there's

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>some people out there that we're putting this loss on

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Dak because he can't win close games. It's like, did

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you watch the game? Did you really watch what was

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>going on in the pocket? On how many times he

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was getting hit and had to move and couldn't step

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>up in the pocket. I don't understand folks sometimes, And

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it was I mean, if you watched, it was fairly

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>obvious what was happening, especially in the second half when

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>they only kicked the field goal, you know, and the

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Rams didn't light it up the second half either. They

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>scored one touchdown. Will that happened to be enough because

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys only kicked the field goal. If the Cowboys

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>pick up that, you know, if Ans and Butts right,

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.119
<v Speaker 1>if they pick up the first down, maybe they score

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown there instead of coming away with no points

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>on that fourth and three. So yeah, that offensive line struggled,

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's one of the reasons why they ended up

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>signing Alex light off the Arizona practice squad. He's a

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>guy that's been in the league three years. Started played

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>thirteen games for Green Bay one hundred and fifty one

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>snaps in twenty nineteen, so and had played three games

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>as a rookie, so he's got a little bit of experience.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>He was how about this, So he had been on

0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the Green Bay roster. They released him, signed him uh

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to the practice squad, released him on September tenth. Arizona

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>signs them to the practice squad on September fourteenth, and

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys signed him to the fifty three on September fifteenth,

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>So I hope he didn't move, you know, for one day.

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>So he's got a least a little you know why

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys signed him then, But you know why the

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys signed him then? Why is that? Because they've got

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it's the track, because they've had him before. This coaching

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>staffs had him before Green Bay, Yes, absolutely, and they're

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.839
<v Speaker 1>familiar with them twenty eighteen Joe Philibin the offensive line coach,

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and so yeah, so they're familiar with him and that

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that happened so often that and so they're they're taking

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a flyer on him. They've had him before, they've got

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>some product knowledge there. But it's it's it's a great

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>example of there's there's not much out there. I mean,

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you gotta go with what you have. And you got

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to hope that Lyle Collins gets back pretty soon well.

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>And word is that they were also meeting today with

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Jared veld Here, a veteran offensive tackle ten years in

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the league, and he actually it played he started one

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirteen of the one hundred and twenty games

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that he's played in the league, and mostly at right tackle,

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and he was last with the Packers in twenty nineteen,

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and here's his track record Oakland, Arizona, Denver, New England,

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and then Green Bay and at New England he ended

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>up retiring and then he had second thoughts and towards

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season he unretired after the Patriots

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>released him and the Packers signed him off the retired list,

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and he played had two starts at the end of

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the season after Bulaga got hurt. So Mike would have

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>seen him if I'm sure he was intimately watching the

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Packers games, and so he would have at least seen

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>him play. So, as I said, a lot of moving parts.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>They also signed a linebacker with Shard Smith off the

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Bears practice squad and undrafted a rookie. They're just looking

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>for depth, you know. When we were sitting there watching

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the person of practice, we get to see it was

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a lonely situation over there at the linebacker spot. I

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>think there was five of them, and one of them

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was on the practice squad, so didn't have a whole

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of depth at the linebacker spot. And oh, one

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>more move and we probably figured this was coming. Sooner

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>than later. They signed Brandon Card from the practice squad

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>onto the fifty three man roster. There you go. Well,

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what, guys, this is my take on it.

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>As far as the offensive lineman a concerned You can

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 1>sign who you want to sign. You have some amazing

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 1>defensive lineman in this league that we are going to

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>be going up against. There are times when you can

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>see our quarterbacks sitting in the pocket, almost like he's

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a sitting duck. You can see as a coach when

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the momentum of the game is changing just a bit

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and you need to adapt to that. To me, when

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you have a quarterback like Dak who's so mobile, there

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>were times when he barely escaped with his life and

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>made something extremely positive out of those plays when the

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.079
<v Speaker 1>pressure was all in his face, I just think we

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>are missing the vote when we're not using all of

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>his talents. We ran into the same thing last year.

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I think Dak Prescott is a very good quarterback in

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the pocket and on the run. I have always believed

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>that we become predictable by just sitting him back in

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the pocket and admiring how well he hits a cooper

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>or how well he hits galloped, how well he is

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to tight end. I think we need to start moving

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the pocket for this guy. Man, you know what's wrong

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>with bootlegs? What's wrong with using this stud that? We

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>have this huge quarterback who when he was in college

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>ran over the entire University of Alabama football team? What

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>is wrong with using him in a very diverse manner manners?

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You have Lamar Jackson's as he's just a player to himself,

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but you don't have to be Lamar Jackson to be

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>able to do a rollout, ought to do a bootleg,

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 1>ought to be accurate while moving the pocket. It's just

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>so many things I think we're missing album. When it

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>comes to Dak, soever said, what other NFL quarterback would

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:47.679
<v Speaker 1>you most compare Dak skill set to muh, This is

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna sound extremely arrogant because he's not nearly as accurate

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>as who I'm about to bring up. But in regards

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to his physical talent and the way he throws a ball.

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Robbers, I think that can throw any

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>paths he wants to throw. That's funny. I was I

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>was thinking he that was the answer. Aaron Rodgers, because

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, Green Bay rolls him out

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit or they get him to throw the

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>ball on the run on purpose, by the way, And

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>you know when we watched you know, Everson, when we

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>watched training camp practices, you know a lot of the

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>drills they did before practice with the quarterback was this

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 1>this kind of drill where you had to the quarterback

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>had to move, move, move in and out of the pylons,

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and then throw on the run into the net and

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>hit one of the three targets. And I said, okay,

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>so they're kind of getting him used to throwing on

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the run. What it feels like to move around in

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the pocket and not be stationary. And I thought, you know, okay,

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>here's what's gonna happen. You know, when they used a

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of boots last year, get him out of the

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>pocket and throw to the tight end. I don't know

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>if losing Jarwin caused that to maybe not take place

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>as much in the game against the Rams, but that

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>had been a staple in this offense with Kellen Moore

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of bootlegs and if there's nothing there, just take off

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and run. So so be interesting to see what's going

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 1>on because I think they got a taste of, you know,

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the possibility that this offensive line might not be what

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they think it is at this point in the season.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh and one other note, j Jordan Lewis, actually this

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>was the first time he took part in drills in practice.

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>The last week he was basically doing resistance chord kind

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>of conditioning stype stuff, but this was the first time

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>he actually was taking part in the drills that we

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>were able to watch. And Randy Gregory must have passed

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>all his COVID nineteen tests because he was out on

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the field doing conditioning work with the trainers. So you know,

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>he's still got five weeks to go. It was a

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a temporary reinstatement and he couldn't he had to miss

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>six weeks, but he's allowed to do conditioning work, individual

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>training drills along with sit in on team meetings. So

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it looks like his clocks starting on his way to

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>being ready to go after those six week period. And

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he looked good too, by the way, didn't look like

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>remember you know, he always looked like he needed to

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>eat more. Right when he got here, he was, you know,

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>like two hundred and thirty five forty pounds. But he

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>looks good so and judging from the tweet when he

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>got conditionally reinstated a pretty happy camper and was thanking

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of people who helped him get back

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to this stage of the game. And if he can

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>come back to do anything anything romotely close to what

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Alden Smith did, the Cowboys will hit another home run

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>with this guy. All Right, we're just getting started on

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>this edition of mix Shots. I've got my thoughts on

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>what I saw from the Falcons against the Seahawks, a

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>loss in their season opener. They're in the same boat

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys are in as they head here this weekend

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.320

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I was at the Tostito's Championship Plaza at the Star

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>in Presco doing a live shot at six o'clock, and

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of activity at the Star'll you have

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>looks like a youth league flag football teams. They'll use

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the football field there and they'll conduct their practices there.

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.959
<v Speaker 1>You've got cheerleading, youth cheerleaders that are there on the

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>practice field there. They serve it as a practice field

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 1>basically right there by the hotel. And you couldn't tell

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 1>we're in a pandemic if everyone is socially distanced. I

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 1>will say that it's not like they're violating anything. You're

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be if you're around people supposed to be

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.199
<v Speaker 1>outside and if you're not active, they've got mask on

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.880
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. But it feels good that there are people

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.159
<v Speaker 1>out and about around the Star. So, Bill, did you

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 1>figure out what? So glad we're getting back to normal? Bill?

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Have you figured out twenty five percent of the Cowboys

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:03.199
<v Speaker 1>capacity will be that the be allowed in since Mike capacity,

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is it not? It's like ninety ninety two somewhere in there. Yeah, Okay,

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>give me that twenty five percent. Twenty five percent of

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 1>eighty thousand is twenty thousand, yes, and twenty five percent

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of one hundred thousand is twenty twenty five thousand, so five, okay,

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 1>very good, twenty two five. And I read that you're

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I read that the uh, the the attendance of people

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the suites won't won't count against that twenty

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>five percent, Like that's a private club area. I assume

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>that the suites were closed. They are open, not the

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 1>bunker suites now, but the ones on the you know,

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:02.680
<v Speaker 1>top of the field level, second level, third level, fourth level,

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 1>whatever that they're they're good to go. So that does

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>not count. That does not count as stadium attendance. That's

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>what I read from one of those representatives that's kind

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:19.119
<v Speaker 1>of in charge of this whole deal out at the stadium.

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>So that's like their private homes. It's y's their weekend

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>getaway home, and they don't have that they own. And

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I think if and assuming the windows are closed or whatever,

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and you're inside the suite, then uh, you know, social

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>distancing is up to you. M okay. I think one

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>of the interesting things is, okay, say they got twenty

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>two thousan five hundred people in there, is where are

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 1>they going to be seated? Because I've been to high

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>school games at AT and T Stadium where they don't

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>even open the upper deck, whereas the lower bowl basically

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and people are pretty a lot, especially in the end zones,

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.880
<v Speaker 1>they'll be socially distanced. Even though that it wasn't socially distanced,

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the thing then, It's just that was the number

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>of people that they had, and people just would like

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to have a elbow room whatever. You know, they were

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.120
<v Speaker 1>just watching the games. I wonder how many you can

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.919
<v Speaker 1>fit in the lower bowl. Now that's not and be

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>in pods. It's gonna be in pods. And you know what,

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>when they sent out the notice that they were like

0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>they had completed the sales to the season ticket holders

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 1>get they had first DIBs on as many as six tickets,

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>but you had to keep your six person party in

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a pod. Then they put on single game tickets and

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 1>for this game, when I clicked on it, they were

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 1>selling the four hundred level tickets for eighty nine dollars

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.960
<v Speaker 1>for a single game. So wow, I would imagine you've

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>got to sit in the seats you buy. There's no

0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>just moving around and you know, sit where you want.

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>So they had supposedly reading this article and by the way,

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.439
<v Speaker 1>if anybody is thinking of going to the game or

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 1>they are going to the game, check out the Dallas

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Morning News. It was a pretty extensive description of what

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 1>game day would look like. And uh, you know, the entrances,

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>how many entrances they'll they'll be able to use to

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:26.880
<v Speaker 1>keep the crowd from lining up, and the fact that

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 1>if they you know, if you want to buy food,

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be in prepackaged containers, and there's going

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to be actually people walking security walking through the stadium.

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 1>And make sure this isn't like NASCAR when they had

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the race in Fort Worth and people had to wear

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>a mask and they wore it to get in, and

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 1>then then they were in, they took them off, and

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:52.120
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be reminders that you've got to keep

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>your mask on while you're watching the game. Well not

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>just that, you know, when you're dealing with the cowboy legends,

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm one of them. Uh, that entire program was dismantled

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>for this season. So you're not siting autographs before the game. Uh.

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>If I signed autographs before the game, it would be

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>at some outdoor tailgate. But in regards to going around

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and visiting, uh, suits and things of that nature now

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>that is off limits. That has been discontinued for this season.

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think I read where there wouldn't be any

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>tailgating either. Yeah, well, thanks a lot. I said, I'm

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:42.360
<v Speaker 1>asking for a raise for today. Can I start? Can

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I renegotiate my cot? As I told somebody on Twitter

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>when they complained about something, I said, welcome to twenty twenty, baby,

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Well, it is going to be interesting to

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 1>see what it looks like with fans in the stands.

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And take the Mike McCarthy show last night, and right

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>off the bat, I said it. You know, it's gonna

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>be kind of strange. You're actually gonna have fans in

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.879
<v Speaker 1>the stands on Sunday. Well, you know, he remarked about

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>how strange it was in LA with no no fans.

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 1>He said, then there wasn't as much, uh the piped

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 1>in noise, cheering fan stuff that he was anticipating, and

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>was almost sounded like it was eerily quiet. And you know,

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:33.919
<v Speaker 1>and even um, I was told by some of the

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>people in house that were there covering the game, uh,

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Nick Eatman, uh, and even the PR guys they weren't

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>in the press box. They they they sequestered them in

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a suite. So the PR guys were in a suite

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and Nick was in a suite all by himself. Uh,

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and it was quiet. He said, he couldn't hardly hear anything.

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It was the weirdest way to be able to cover

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a game because he didn't even have volume to listen

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to the TV broadcast. So, yeah, it's a different thing.

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>So my question on that is is how much of

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the sound that we are hearing on the television broadcast

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 1>is the actual sound that is in the stadium crowd

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 1>noise or is the TV network piping in crowd noise

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:29.160
<v Speaker 1>as well for us listening and watching at home. Yeah,

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they. We're hearing at home on television

0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the same thing that's being heard inside the stadium, I

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>think so. I think so, Bill, I don't think they.

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they have a different, a different crowdsource

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to to put on TV. Maybe they extentuate what they're

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.440
<v Speaker 1>picking up on their mics, right, because I'll tell you what,

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:52.480
<v Speaker 1>do you remember the field goal the Rams missed? It

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 1>hit off the upright? That was that was the loudest.

0:26:57.280 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That was the loudest bang I think I've ever heard

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.200
<v Speaker 1>on television in a football game, So I think they

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>are accentuating a little disconcerting. It's got to be a

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>little disconcerting to the field goal kicker because his failure

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:16.679
<v Speaker 1>is amplified. Yes, yes, the fact that I mean, I

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 1>will say this, I have been to a Ranger game,

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the first series that the Rangers played, and and all

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the crowd noise that you're hearing on the Rangers broadcast,

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're hearing in the ballpark on the home

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 1>games and so and But I think there are some

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 1>some TV networks are piping in crowd noise. I can't

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't recall which ones are doing that, but others

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.679
<v Speaker 1>are not. I mean, if you think about if you

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 1>think about watching the hockey games, the playoffs, you can

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 1>hear the skates on the ice. So they've got Mike's

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 1>all over the place trying to pick up sound. Yeah,

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>in basketball sometimes the squeak of the tennis shoot yes,

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 1>was mistaken for a whistle. But they do a lot

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>better job I thought in Orlando of kind of putting

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the crowd noise in. They were very timely on how

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:14.879
<v Speaker 1>they put it in. And there were times when I

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 1>was watching the game and you actually think that there

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 1>are people at the game, and I'm talking about the

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>bench because they can't be heard over the quiet. But

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 1>for the most part they pipe in those cheers and

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the different types of cheers that they pipe in or

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 1>what I liked about it. There was some jeering, not

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 1>just clapping and cheering, but there were jeers, and I

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 1>think they even put in a few booze and you know,

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>like a little look calamity was going on there. So

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>they were very varied on what sounds and types of

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>cheers they were using. I thought that's what the NFL

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>would do. It would be great for the atmosphere. And

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I talked to Mark Huban about it prior to the

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 1>NBA season starting, and they have an app and I

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 1>never explored it after the after the season started, they

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>at an app where people could actually go online and

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 1>or with an app and put in crowd noise. And

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>whether they actually uh had any effect or not, I

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know. There's probably someone just doing it and not

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>even paid attention to what people are in putting. But

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but anyway, all right, I'm not sure if I have

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 1>time to get into the falcons. Uh. Well, we get

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 1>started and then we can continue, all right. When you

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>saw and I don't know if you've been able to

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>watch the Atlanta Seattle game at all, but but basically,

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>when you saw the final score of that game, what

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>did you think it was? Thirty eight twenty five Seattle.

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought it wasn't tracking me score that I looked at.

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't just to score it. I looked at spags. Uh,

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it was Russell Wilson's numbers. Uh, he only missed four passes.

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 1>If I'm not thirty one, we're talking thirty five passes

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and you only miss four. Uh, that doesn't bolde well

0:29:56.560 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>for what I expect to see this this week for

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the Falcon's defense and especially the secondary. Uh, that is,

0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that is the almost perfection. And let's face it, Russell

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Wilson is a hell of a player, but he's not

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that good. I mean, really, no one's that good to

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>be playing like that. And if I'm not mistaken, of course,

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 1>no crowd, no crowd was there. But that was an

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 1>unfamiliar field, correct, was that not on the road? There

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was at Atlanta in Atlanta? Yeah? Did you see what

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 1>his quarterback rating was? One forty three point one and

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that has to do with four touchdowns,

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>no interceptions, and throwing for three hundred and twenty two yards. Yeah,

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty one out of thirty five. Okay, in what they

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>did a lot with him is what they do a

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 1>lot with him all the time, is they rolled him out.

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Did you talk about those bootlegs and so forth? First

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>past attempt of the game, though, he got sacked by

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Tech Tech MC League for the Atlanta and it was

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a bootleg and he just so the defensive end, he

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 1>just pinned his ears back and he saw it coming

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and he was immediate sack. But but they the first touchdown,

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 1>they took advantage of that Seattle did. They ran basically

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the same play release they're running back and McKinley was

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in no man's land and it was the easiest touchdown

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>ever scored. Whatever some of the I think that the Cowboys,

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And when I asked you last segment about which quarterback

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in the league that Dak is most similar to the

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>guy that for me, it's Russell Wilson. And I think

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that the Cowboys. You know, it's a Brian Schottenheimer offense

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>at Seattle runs. You know McCarthy, he you know, he's

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 1>from that Schottenheimer Tree himself, Brian's dad, Marty Schottenheimer. But

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that that Dak can learn a lot about

0:31:57.720 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>this Atlanta defense and Kellen Moore mccar how to attack

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 1>this Atlanta defense by looking at what Seattle did against them,

0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:10.719
<v Speaker 1>because there was a I mean, as evidenced by the stats,

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>they just took advantage of an Atlanta defense that was

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 1>very aggressive first couple of series. It was almost like

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 1>what what the Rams did to the Cowboys with a

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>short passing game. Because the Cowboys were very aggressive and

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 1>it took a while for the Cowboys to make an

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>adjustment in that game. I think it took a while

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 1>for Atlanta as well. So Seattle gets up fourteen to

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 1>three to start that game, but then Atlanta comes back

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and it was a fourteen to twelve game at halftime. Okay,

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 1>very similar to the Cowboys Rams game. Cowboys led fourteen

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 1>thirteen at the half against the Rams. Here's what happened

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>at well, I'll tell you when we come back were

0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>up against the break, I'm going to tell you what

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 1>happened different in that game as opposed to the Cowboys

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Rams game that Gabe Seattle the victory. When we come

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 1>final segment here, a mixed shots. We got about eleven

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 1>minutes to go here. Let me continue with what we

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 1>were talking about before the break, looking at that Seahawks

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Falcons game and how the Cowboys can learn some lessons

0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 1>from it. And there's just a little bit of irony

0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:54.840
<v Speaker 1>in this as well. Of course, everyone talking about the

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:58.839
<v Speaker 1>fourth and three decision that Mike McCarthy made that did

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:02.760
<v Speaker 1>not work against the Rams. Well, this was a little

0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the game in fast In fact, it was

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the first possession of the third quarter. Seattle had a

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:13.839
<v Speaker 1>fourteen to twelve lead on Atlanta, and of course when

0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:17.240
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy made his decision, the Cowboys were trailing by three.

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:22.399
<v Speaker 1>But it's interesting the Seattle faced a fourth and four

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 1>at the Atlanta thirty eight yard line. Okay, they're ahead

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:31.000
<v Speaker 1>by two points, fourteen to twelve, and Seattle's you're kind

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>of in no man's land there. Whether you want to

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 1>put them down and try to you know, Coffin corner

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 1>it or whatever, or go for it. Okay, they're fourth

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and four at the thirty eight yard and they decided

0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to go for it. So what do they do to

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown pass? Okay, they surprised them. They went deep touchdown. Okay,

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:54.760
<v Speaker 1>so now all of us so they're all right, let's

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>say it's incomplete. Let's say they don't get the first down.

0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Now you just gave Atlanta the football with good field

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:05.720
<v Speaker 1>position and you're only ahead fourteen twelve. Okay, you weren't

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>even trailing in the game, and they went for it

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and made it. Okay, but how much confidence is that

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:13.520
<v Speaker 1>instilled in your team, especially first game of the year.

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>You make a decision like that, we go for it.

0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 1>It works. Now you're ahead in twenty one to twelve. Also, yeah,

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you got a nine point lead on Atlanta. Atlanta gets

0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the ball back about the same spot on the field,

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 1>about the thirty eight yard line. They face a fourth

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and three, fourth and two something like that. They're in

0:37:31.280 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 1>punt formation and Atlanta that runs a fake punt. Well,

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they execute at the up back. He gets the first down,

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but Marquis Blair for Seattle. He comes in, puts his

0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:48.280
<v Speaker 1>hat on that football, knocks it out. Seattle gets the turnover,

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Seattle gets the football at the forty yard line, and

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a few plays later they've got another touchdown in Seattle

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:57.320
<v Speaker 1>leaves that game twenty eight to twelve, and a matter

0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of basically two plays, a matter of six plays there,

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was. Okay, they went from a fourteen to

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:07.919
<v Speaker 1>twelve lead to twenty eight to twelve and Matt Ryan

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>is throwing fifty four passes the rest of the game

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:13.080
<v Speaker 1>instead of the balance offense that Atlanta wanted to have.

0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:15.759
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was just a great example of

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a you know, when it works, you're a genius. And

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:23.440
<v Speaker 1>think about with McCarthy, had that play worked and the

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys got a touchdown on that possession. Here he is

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:29.040
<v Speaker 1>coaching his first game with the Cowboys, And I didn't

0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 1>agree with the decision at the time, But now that

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I look back at it, what if it had worked,

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and what if the Cowboys take the lead? Well, the

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.919
<v Speaker 1>game plays out entirely differently the rest of the way

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 1>because now the Rams are having to play from behind

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and their play calling. Their play selection is totally different,

0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Cowboys have the upper hand the rest of

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the way. I think it's just it was great little contrast,

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and it worked for Seattle. They get basically in the

0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:57.560
<v Speaker 1>NFL what it amounts to a blowout win by thirteen points,

0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't work for the Cowboys, and Cowboys can't

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:02.200
<v Speaker 1>wait to play again and try to get back on

0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:06.799
<v Speaker 1>the horse. Ye was a big difference. It wouldn't it

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 1>have been? Well, you know, when you start talking about

0:39:11.480 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the difference between a successful play and unsuccessful play, it

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:20.760
<v Speaker 1>depends that that makes everything depend on where the dominoes fall.

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>From there, you can look at the Cowboys game. I

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:26.919
<v Speaker 1>bring it up all the time. Cowboys game last year.

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 1>The Dolphins were about to score against US. I think

0:39:31.960 --> 0:39:34.240
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna be before the half of it, before

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the end of the quarter, they're in scoring position. I

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 1>think that we're inside the fifteen yard line. Here we

0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:42.399
<v Speaker 1>are now. This game was a blowout for us. It

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:44.720
<v Speaker 1>was one of those easy games we had. We started

0:39:44.719 --> 0:39:47.840
<v Speaker 1>off three and ooh, and all of a sudden the

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 1>wheels fall off and the true Cowboys emerged. Well, the

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:55.040
<v Speaker 1>true Cowboys were in that Dolphins game because we were

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>about to give up a rushing touchdown and for some reason,

0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins running back pull the sanchads. I guess that's

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:06.000
<v Speaker 1>for lack of a better turn. He tried to extend

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 1>as he was going down and the ball hit somebody's

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:13.319
<v Speaker 1>butt and the fumbles. Well from there, I believe we

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 1>go down and score and the route is on. So

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:20.280
<v Speaker 1>when you look at these routes, there are certain times

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in the ball game or these key moments made a

0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 1>difference in that route and allowed that route to happen.

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:30.239
<v Speaker 1>So the Cowboys had a few of those instances last year,

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and it always made me nervous because we showed in

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:37.560
<v Speaker 1>competence against the run even while we were routing people.

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:44.600
<v Speaker 1>So you're right, Bill, those little gambles they can work

0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 1>for you or they cannot work for you, and it

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 1>just might determine what the attitude is for your entire

0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>team for the rest of the season, because, like you said,

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 1>if we make that first down, we're looking at this

0:40:58.040 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 1>game possibly and an entirely different light. Our construction, constructive

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 1>criticism for lack of a better term, that we put

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:11.000
<v Speaker 1>on this show would be a little bit more favorite

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and it will be a little bit more than the

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys favorite when it's all said and done. So that's

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:18.040
<v Speaker 1>why I'm not going to panic too much about this

0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:22.839
<v Speaker 1>first game. But there are things that continued from last

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 1>season that still gives me pause. I thought Mickey was

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:31.280
<v Speaker 1>going to chime in there. No what I was gonna

0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:37.400
<v Speaker 1>say is you mentioned the two touchdowns at Seattle scored.

0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:41.399
<v Speaker 1>They end up scoring seventeen consecutive points. Now, I don't

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 1>know if at that point that takes it Atlanta out

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:48.680
<v Speaker 1>of what they would have liked to do. But Matt

0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Ryan threw the ball fifty four times fifty Is that

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>their offense? Because they only rushed for seventy two yards,

0:41:57.560 --> 0:42:00.799
<v Speaker 1>So I'm thinking maybe they took them out of their

0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:04.359
<v Speaker 1>game at that point. They definitely did. They definitely did.

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>If you go back and look at the beginning of

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that game, what they do on the first three plays

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:11.799
<v Speaker 1>of the game. First three plays of the game, they

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:15.040
<v Speaker 1>handed the ball off to Todd Gurley. Okay, they're new

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:17.120
<v Speaker 1>running and I think four out of the first six

0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 1>plays Gurley, we ran the ball and then he caught

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a pass. They obviously were intent on establishing Gurley. That

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>was their big offseason move. That where they got Todd Gurley.

0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:30.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think the other thing that's interesting, And

0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy mentioned this a few weeks ago, talking about

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:38.920
<v Speaker 1>watching the TV copy when he scouting opponents, the TV

0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:42.640
<v Speaker 1>copy and listening to the announcers as well as the

0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 1>coach's film. And I think, as I think it's I

0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 1>would think any NFL team, whether the coaches do it

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or not, someone needs to listen to the TV broadcast

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 1>of whoever your opponent is, because there's a lot of

0:42:56.560 --> 0:43:01.560
<v Speaker 1>times where the analyst will give away secrets I have

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that I have, I agree with, you know, and if

0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:09.759
<v Speaker 1>you listen, if you listen to the broadcast, and I

0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:12.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even know who the announcers were, I didn't recognize

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the voices, but whoever the analyst was on that Atlanta

0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Seattle game, he kept talking about early in the game,

0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta really wants to establish Todd Gurley here. And so

0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of times that coaches NFL coaches they

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:30.640
<v Speaker 1>think they're it's in confidence. They're just giving uh, you know,

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:33.560
<v Speaker 1>they're not expecting the analysts to go on the air

0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and basically give away their you know, what their mindset

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 1>is as they go into the season. But you can

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:42.160
<v Speaker 1>pick up on little things there, and sometimes it's more

0:43:42.160 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 1>subtle than others. But I think that's one thing that Atlanta,

0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:48.360
<v Speaker 1>what the analysts was saying, was that's one of the

0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the things that when they looked at

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 1>themselves this offseason, they really wanted to because we didn't

0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:57.439
<v Speaker 1>establish the run last year. We really wanted to get

0:43:57.440 --> 0:44:01.360
<v Speaker 1>back to running the football and so uh And in fact,

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:04.399
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy at his press conference today said something about, well,

0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 1>they really want to throw the ball. I think I

0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:09.520
<v Speaker 1>think he may be bluffing there. I think he understands

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.319
<v Speaker 1>that Atlanta really wants to run the ball. They want

0:44:12.320 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to get more balanced in their offense. I want to

0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 1>be I want to be the TV I want to

0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:19.600
<v Speaker 1>be the TV coach, the one that listens to everything

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:24.319
<v Speaker 1>and huts everything down. That's right. But when you think

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:26.360
<v Speaker 1>about it, though, you know, you got guys like Tony

0:44:26.480 --> 0:44:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Romo or Troy Aikman. They talked to the coaches and

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the key players. That's Saturday before the game. You can

0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 1>get all types of information from that. And I have

0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 1>always thought that Bill, it's so funny that you mentioned

0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:42.359
<v Speaker 1>something like that. But you know, kind of coaches. They

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:47.799
<v Speaker 1>let the guard down. The coaches let the garden. But

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that's not the whole interview is for us. Then the

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:53.840
<v Speaker 1>network guys, they just act like they figured it out themselves,

0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:57.279
<v Speaker 1>like Hey, I'm real smart what was going on here?

0:44:57.520 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>And you kind of disguised almost like hey, Romo was like, hey,

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:03.840
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna run this play right now. Well, Romo was

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.640
<v Speaker 1>just at the practice yesterday, so yeah, you just saw.

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:12.080
<v Speaker 1>But when you talk about that, going back to the

0:45:12.080 --> 0:45:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Falcons game, and it just lends cretins to what I've

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:18.640
<v Speaker 1>always said about a team game. Uh, Russell Wilson had

0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>health early on in that game. And what health was

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact that that guy put his hat on the ball.

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:28.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, his defensive player or his special team's player

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:30.960
<v Speaker 1>put that hat on the ball. You know, he didn't

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.000
<v Speaker 1>leave it up to Russell Wilson to come back out

0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:37.000
<v Speaker 1>after the Falcons had driven all the way down and scored.

0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:40.720
<v Speaker 1>They made the play themselves, and they put their offense

0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in scoring position. In order for this team to be successful, guys,

0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I've said it over and over again, they have to

0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:50.040
<v Speaker 1>be mistake free. They have to be known for being

0:45:50.160 --> 0:45:52.480
<v Speaker 1>mistake free, which we did not do that in the

0:45:52.560 --> 0:45:55.000
<v Speaker 1>RAMS game. They have to be known to have a

0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.960
<v Speaker 1>defense that makes critical plays which we did not make,

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:04.439
<v Speaker 1>especially third downs, an indicator of that. Offensively, the same thing,

0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:09.400
<v Speaker 1>we do not capitalize off of each other's big plays.

0:46:09.760 --> 0:46:13.360
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, we let the oppositions big

0:46:13.400 --> 0:46:17.480
<v Speaker 1>plays determine how we play. So as a team, I

0:46:17.520 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 1>don't care how many superstars you have. You can have

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson, you may have Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, your

0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 1>defense and your special teams they have to come to

0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:30.120
<v Speaker 1>play as well. Hey, they gave you an interception, what

0:46:30.239 --> 0:46:34.600
<v Speaker 1>else do you want one? By the way, we're out

0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of time here, But that that Atlanta Special teams coach,

0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, he called the perfect play the great fake punt.

0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:43.440
<v Speaker 1>He didn't account for the fact that Marquis Blair was

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna put his head on Sharad Nisman in the football

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:49.799
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't work. So it's all about execution, all right.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:54.120
<v Speaker 1>We will be executing again tomorrow here on the mix shots,

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and we will see you then. This has been a
