And here's 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.520 the more shocking thing here, Mickey, he is going to 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.280 start against the Cowboys on Sunday. Really, yes, yes, we'll 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.320 see how good that second team defense is. There you go, 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.959 And so there's your Jacksonville jag news off the top, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:25.080 and before Mickey jumps into the news of the day 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.720 here at the Star. Ever since it's great having you 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.000 back here. Thanks to very much. It's funny that you 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.720 mentioned Spags jumping in because he came in out of breath. Man. Yeah, 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.360 he's ready to go. Something's going on now. I was 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.480 worn out from standing out there in that weather. Holy 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.520 what is the temperature? I can tell you when I 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.360 walked into the building after Zeke did his interview, it 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.680 was ninety five degrees and the feel like was one 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.680 o eight. Yes, it's ninety seven right now here in 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.320 the first feel like. If it feels like it, then 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.080 that's what they felt like, one hundred and fifteen. They 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.320 killed me with the temperature and feel like. The index 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.960 is the is the temperature heat index right now? Or 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.520 it's the heat index high today is one hundred four degrees? Now, 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:15.760 well that gets you're ready for this weather. Absolutely. This 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.720 is exactly what Mike McCarthy wanted. And then you see 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.200 some guys out there doing their drills and and you know, 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:26.440 trying to get ready. Why which sweats on? Zeke had 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.000 as much on and he didn't have the fancy sweats. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.600 He had the old cotton things, the huge thick that 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:39.160 he had long too long, or you will wear a 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:44.040 fifteen years right, two sweatshirts, and it was like, are 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.400 you kidding me? Yeah, it was this. This was Austin 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.960 at least maybe a little bit of which time he 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.240 always reminds me of. Back in the day, we had 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.000 to make weight, you know, so guys be plodding on 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.519 the weekends and yeah, your weight might be you know, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.760 you're barely under a pound or whatever. But by the 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.400 time the weekends over, you played your butt off. But 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.840 then on Sunday night, Monday, and then all of a sudden, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.000 here comes Tuesday, you're off. Wednesday you got and may weight. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.960 That's a lot of time in there, well, a lot 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.919 of recreational time which we don't always use to rest. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.920 I remember when they were, when they were in Wichita Falls, 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.040 when every morning at nine o'clock was like this, and 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.480 every afternoon it would be one ten or above with 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.000 the wind blowing twenty miles an hour. They had to 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.360 weigh in after practice, and then they had to weigh 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.120 in before the second practice to make sure they put 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.200 back the weight they lost. Interesting, because of the you 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.040 lost so much liquid. No one, no one cared about 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.560 losing weight. All they cared about what you get. They 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.320 made sure you ate too, because the last thing you 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.440 want to do is eat when you're dehydrates, So careful 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:59.360 these days. It's almost like the mothers. So you're talking 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.600 that they did that in which staff falls. Yes, okay, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:06.200 so what did the GPS say on them back? Yeahs. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.880 As a matter of fact, when we were in Austin, 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.440 I remember you remember Don Cochrane, right, Yes, of course 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.360 he was the trainer. He would carry around this little 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.760 metal ball and it was supposed to measure the heat 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.800 and the heat index with the humidity and if it 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.359 got the certain thing, they were supposed to take more breaks. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.600 They ain't call them off practice, but they're going to 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.799 take more breaks. Right when could they start drinking water? 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:39.680 So I heard um one of the coach, I can't 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.599 remember who I heard this from, was one of the 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.719 coaches they were talking about when he was in high school. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.840 So it reminded me of high school two hour practice 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.600 in August and we got a break after one hour 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.240 and we got two ice cubes. Because you had to 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.279 be a man. You remember, remember they would keep you 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.200 away from the water. Oh yeah, that was that was 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:07.880 standard practice. No one gets water and and before practice 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.479 you could take a handful of salt tablets, and I 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.000 never did jest those. I never did that. What was 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.919 the point I never understood. I guess you had to 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.919 get sodium in it. I don't know what the hydrating you. Well, no, 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:25.920 because you think about pickle juice. What's in that's right? Yeah, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.160 that's all cramping. Yeah. When we when we had wrestling, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.440 I don't care about you dying, that's just cramp. When 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.280 we had wrestling practice, after practice, we had to run 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.880 the hallways right and the head coach would would would 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.200 hide by the door that was next to the drinking fountain, 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.240 so the door was recessed and he would be hiding 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.160 in there, so you didn't know where he was. Didn't 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.760 want you to stop to get water because that shows weakness. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.600 It did. I mean, this is high school that lets 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:59.360 you know their coaches they're just evil people. They enjoyed it. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.520 They enjoyed it while we were out there just killing 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.760 ourselves and failing, and they just sat there and they 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.560 made it worse because they were point out your failures, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.680 knowing that they couldn't do any better. The shocking thing 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.920 was nobody died and no one got to That is 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.039 very shocking. How'd you do in the Landry Mile. I 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.960 wasn't at that time. I wasn't a jocker, but I 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.040 was always in shape. So it's the Landry Mile. What 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.320 was it that at the beginning of training camp? Well, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.440 you know what they called the Landry mile? Yeah, because 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.320 a mile and a half. That's why it's called the 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.599 Landru mile because it's over a mile. Let's let's be 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.680 clearly on that. And he had a time living, yes 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.800 he did. Yeah, So Dennis Thurman was the best Rod felt. 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.080 So what times were we looking at? You remember? I 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.640 think at the time I was younger, so I could 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.680 still run it fast and I can't now even though 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.800 I'm better than I'm older. I think I may have 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.799 made a mile and about fifteen minutes. Maybe, oh you 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.560 maybe that's what I'm doing now, I'm walking fifteen minutes now, No, 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.240 it's about ten minutes. And so you went about it 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.160 took about fifteen. It took about fifteen overall the mile. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:08.680 The hal I think that it was up a hill, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.720 wasn't it. No, No, it was just around. If you 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.960 didn't make it, then you had to run the hill 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.720 up to the CC or walk with him to CC. Yeah, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.040 which is up to the butt of the man, because 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.080 you back then, you would have run. If it was 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.080 just one mile, you're running about ten. You would have done. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.640 You would have done you'd like seven or eight, sure 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.440 you would, you would have done six months. Just didn't 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.360 know me when we were in when we were in 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.520 high school. We had to do it in twelve, which 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.360 that's I mean, that is that's a slow jog. But 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.200 but when you're young, you're not used to running. No 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.480 one was jogging back then. Bill, I mean, you should 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.800 have seen, guys, the Lineman fifteen was was good for 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.680 a linement. I'm just saying we were We hated it. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.560 We didn't run with purpose. We ran because we were 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.600 been getting punished. We looked at this punishment, so we 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.880 didn't really put that effort into it. And uh and 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.320 baby Loefelberg was telling me the other night that the 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:11.119 Jimmy in the asthma field beginning of camp in the summer. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.760 Of course, they did it at Valley Ranch. And I 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.560 want to say, I'm trying to remember the number of 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.480 one tens that Jimmy had was sixteen seventeen one tens 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.040 and they had to do it had depending on the position. Yeah, 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.160 in a certain amount of time. What they did was 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.520 you would, they would. It didn't matter really, you were there, 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.439 time you were there. It was a matter of getting back. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.560 You're called. We had to walk back, so that the 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.079 time wasn't just what you did the one tens in. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.959 It was also the cumulative time of you coming back 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.560 and you had to rest and then the other guys 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.440 would go. So we would go in stages. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.560 so if you if you the kicker was holding the 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.480 stages up, you know, that's why. That's why he got 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.320 mad at it, because we're going to stages and the kickers. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.080 You know, he held up the kickers. State was dragging. Yeah, 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.800 he was dragging the whole thing. And that coach I 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.640 got asthma. Do you remember that? I remember, yes, of 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.560 course I do. It. Well, I mean because he got 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.679 played up and here we are later, we're still talking 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:14.319 about it. Well, you know what it was. He was expendable. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.280 He wasn't going to be the guy. It was just 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.800 like hard knocks. We just talked about hard knocks. I mean, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:24.080 everything is staged. You know. That was Jimmy's time to 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.600 show that he was Jimmy, that I'm coming in here. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.280 These guys that used to lose it, and I'm gonna 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.640 show him something different. Will you pick up a kicker? 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.720 You know? That was we were not impressed as played 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.560 about a guy that wasn't gonna I think it was 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.000 we knew he wasn't gonna make it Massimo Manka or 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.280 something like that. He was kind of foreign or whatever, 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.640 and that thought that was so cool because I mean, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.280 this is this guy's dream and now he's being used 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.880 at some peg, you know, and that just kind of it. Really, 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.520 it pissed me off a little bit, but he got 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:57.280 the message across. Yeah, and we're still one fifty and 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.320 we're still talking about it thirty two years exactly. Bring 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.080 us up to speed on what the news of the 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.360 day is here, Mickey, all Right, the Cowboys had two 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:11.720 more players go on the COVID nineteen reserve lists. Demonte Kaz, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.760 who we suspected yesterday when he wasn't at practice and 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.160 they talked about one guy had to be retested. Well, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.679 he was the guy being retested and ended up testing 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:27.800 positive along with Connor Williams, is now on the COVID 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.520 nineteen list that got one guy off. He gave me 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:37.040 the protocol Israel Mukuamu got it out, didn't He did, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.319 and he's back in and so he can play. Yes, 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.559 so he was a close contact. He obviously was vaccinated, 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.439 which means he just needed to have two negative tests 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.800 over a forty eight hour or twenty four hour period. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.280 If you're positive, if you're if you're vaccinated, understand, if 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:01.960 you're vaccinated in close contact, Okay, If you're positive and 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.640 you're vaccinated, then you it's a forty eight hour deal. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:10.000 I think it might be a five day is that right? Five? 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.320 I think it's five, but you got a test negative 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.840 twice before you're allowed back. If you're unvaccinated, it's a 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:23.679 ten day period. I'm sorry. Wow. My understanding is if 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:28.080 you tested positive, if you're vaccinated and tested positive, then 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.559 you have to produce two negative tests at least twenty 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.200 four hours apart from each other, and then you can return. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.880 And vaccinated individuals will not be subject to quarantine as 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:43.080 a result of close contact with an affected person. If 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.439 you don't, if you're asymptomatic, and see in the case 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.640 of cam Newton in New England, he had he left 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:55.480 the area and then he had he had to go 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.680 into quarantine for five days even though he hadn't tested 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.480 positive or anything, but they assume Europe. And maybe it's 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.160 because he's not vaccinated. I don't know for sure. Maybe 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.199 he faas Okay, I'm not sure, but that's a that's 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.640 a different protocol buyer where the five days comes in. 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.040 And it's because he left the area. Yeah, and there 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.440 was a misunderstand he went to see a doctor outside 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.680 the area and because there was a potential exposure and 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.760 when he came back, he had to quarantine for five days. Yeah. No, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.320 he didn't test positive or it didn't have any symptoms. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.240 It was he just came back and he had but 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:38.680 since he was out, yeah, okay. And then uh ric 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.400 o'dowdell uh ended up with a hip injury after the 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:47.000 game and he has been placed on injured reserve, So 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.280 that means he's out for the season. So the third 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:53.040 running back, if they keep three, uh is wide open, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.800 or maybe they keep a fullback in just two running backs. Uh. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:03.880 Trayvon Digs miss practice with an illness, not COVID an illness. Uh, 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.920 this was a good day to miss practice out of 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:12.559 you were planning ahead, right, Uh. So by my count, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:18.440 they've got four guys on injured reserve now because they've 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.400 got five season for the season, five guys on the 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.440 COVID reserve and just two guys left on PUP because 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.520 their line came off and he came out, he was 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.920 activated and that and that's why they made the move 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.559 on Doubtle today to put him on injured reserve right 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.320 to clear the roster. Right. Well, they actually needed to 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:42.240 clear that roster spot yesterday before they put williams uh 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:48.600 in kz Okay COVID nineteen. So ten more guys I 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:55.840 counted are either uh, rehabbing or missing practice because they've 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.320 been hurt. So I counted twenty one guys, including the 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.320 I R guy guy, the COVID guys, the PUP guys, 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:07.400 and guys that were rehabbing injuries that didn't practice were 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.840 not a part of the practice today, twenty one out 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:16.280 of well, they started with ninety right, right, so pretty 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.400 shorthanded at the safety position. And you haven't mentioned the 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.360 one the other injury at the safety position. Number six. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.600 Oh yeah, and Donovan Wilson, sorry, he was one of 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.280 my ten. Got a groin strain and he left practice 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.400 early yesterday. We weren't sure why he walked off and 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.440 it ended up being a groin strain. So so the 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.560 safety position, that's a good thing. Mcquamou came back today 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.680 because they were down to like four guys. So when 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.520 they lined up with the first team defense, it was 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:52.120 Jay Run Curse and Darien Thompson the starting two safeties, 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:57.840 and the second guys ended up being Coil and Parker, 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.960 Stephen Parker and Tyler Coil. Yes, so those were the 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.240 backup guys. So yeah, they were I thought they were 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.560 going to have to start moving corners to safety to 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.520 get through and then mcquamu came back, so yeah, they 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.680 This stuff is real, all right, and and it's going 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.600 around the NFL right now. It's going through this this 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.080 organization right now. And I looked in the paper this 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.960 morning for the high schools that are starting on Thursday, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:32.640 there's already ten games this weekend canceled, canceled already because 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:37.800 of COD. So you know, MCOs the NFL, what team 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.560 is in more direstraates than we are? You know, there 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.920 have been several teams that have have had a handful 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.280 of players who have gone into COVID protocol. In fact, 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.720 the week of the Arizona and the only reason I'm 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.320 familiar with it, Like the Arizona game and preparing for 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.440 the game, they had four or five players that were 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.520 in COVID protocol that week. So it hasn't been unusual 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.400 that teams would have players in COVID protocol. Now, whether 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.480 they tested positive or not, it's uncertain because they don't 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:12.080 have to reveal that, but um and usually within a 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.960 week those guys come back. And so I think if 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.360 you go around the league, there's probably I don't know 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.440 how many teams, but I know that there have been 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.360 a number of teams that have dealt with I don't 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.880 I don't recall one that that's had as many as six. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.240 It's what the Cowboys have right now. This is as many, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.440 if not just one, less than they had all the 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.520 last year. Yeah, and it's haven't played a game yet, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:43.520 So it tells you this is real. And it's why 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.160 Jerry came out and said what he said yesterday when 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.800 he did his interview with fan He came out pretty strong. 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.400 And the big thing is for the Cowboys right now, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.240 they've got a ninety three as of the beginning of 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.600 this week, ninety three percent vaccination rate among the players. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.320 According to Jerry or Steven. I can't remember who said that, 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.119 but uh, and then there are some of that and 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.679 there's that's right, that's right, that was it, that was 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.320 in the release when And this is just the team itself. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.359 This has nothing to do with doctors of the staff, 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.280 of the staff and ninety three percent of the players 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:24.440 and there are some that are en route to getting 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.800 fully vaccinated. They've had the shots, but they haven't had 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.600 a two weeks or they haven't spent the two weeks 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.520 since the second shot to be considered fully vaccinated. And 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:39.479 when you start talking about, uh, that's seven percent, is 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.520 that's huge? Well, I mean it's a ninety man roster 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.639 and so um you see, fairly easy to do the 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.560 math there's it is, but probably also depends on the 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.680 quality of that particular player, right, you know, I mean 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.840 one one player may wait more than the other. I mean, 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.399 you've got a special teams guy that might be you know, 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.960 test positive. But let's say you've got I don't know 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.160 what names out there, but a wide receiver. They doesn't 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.240 want to take a shot, and all of a sudden 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.120 he's sick and he's a starter. Well here, here's here's 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.560 the issue. With that. In fact, Buffalo is dealing with 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.800 that right now. I mean Cole Beasley. Cole Beasley's in 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.320 COVID protocol because and it's widely known. Man, he's amazing, 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.119 he's that due. But but he is, and he has 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.720 been very vocal that he's not getting vaccinated. Well, he's 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.760 in COVID protocol right now because he's a close contact, 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.359 not that he didn't test positive, and being unvaccinated, he 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.840 has to spend even if he was considered a close contact, 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.720 he has to spend ten days afore. That started last week. 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.440 So that's the huge thing. Once you get towards the 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.160 regular season. Okay, now you get somebody in his position 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.680 group who test positive and since he was in close contact, 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.080 now the rest of it. Let's say on a Friday 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.199 of another wide receiver test positive. Well, Cole, you're not 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.320 only missing this Sunday's game, but it's ten days you're 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:04.920 gonna miss next Sunday's game too, if if the timing happened. Yeah, 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:09.000 and so and so. If you have unvaccinated players, you 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:13.440 have to keep them away during meetings and stuff they 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:19.000 have to do. Yeah, you say that they're keeping away 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.040 from who's doing they're doing a lot. No, No, it's 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.639 not so much on the field, okay, because on that 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.120 that's the weird. On the right, you can't. But if 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.040 you're on the sideline, if you're in meeting, especially in 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.800 meetings indoors, they have to be. They're starting to go 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.919 more virtual meetings. They do a virtual meeting with dan Quinn, 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.200 who's still out. They're spreading out. They're having the meetings 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.159 back in the in Ford Center where they can spread 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:48.439 out in the corridors. So yeah, the whole thing that's like, 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.880 you're going back to where you were. And that's why 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.480 Jerry came out so strongly yesterday and I'm going to 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.960 read you what he had to say. You certainly don't 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.800 want to be doing anything that causes your teammates to 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.359 not be available. All of that comes to the same 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.200 conclusion as far as what you agreed to be as 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.560 far as a player to be part of a team. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.200 You check eye at the door, so to speak. It's 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.080 about we Everyone has the right to make their own 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.080 decision in regards to their health and their body. I 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:21.440 believe that completely. Until that decision on yourself impacts negatively 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.760 on others, then the common good takes over arm waving here, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.280 but everything to do with how I look at our 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.320 team and how I look at our society, and that's it. 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.080 That's it right there. It's not just a team, it's 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.640 society as well. So that that could be said from 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.760 sixteen Heldy, Pennsylvania as well as here at the start. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.280 And it could be set in the Plano School district 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.240 where they had a big meeting on wearing masks in 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.160 school and everybody there was a bunch of people there 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.840 saying I need my freedom, you know, I should be 0:20:55.920 --> 0:21:00.280 able to decide, and they're saying, no, you better mask up. So, yeah, 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.640 this thing is raging once again. So if you want 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:09.639 some good news, Dak Prescott did for the first time 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.359 take part in some of the team drills the eleven 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.360 on eleven and actually threw the ball and I saw 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.800 him throw the ball a good thirty yards to Dalton 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.520 I think it was Dalton Schultz, and it was a 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:27.040 completion and his arm didn't fall off. It's still attach, 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:31.560 still attash all right, So if you needed some good news, 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.880 that was the good news. And Cooper Rush continued to 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.679 take the snaps with the first team in the other 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:43.520 drills they were doing. But Dak did just a seven 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.119 man passing route thing. He did a little bit of 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:49.919 seven on seven and then when they did team I 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.199 think he had three separate occasions he went out with 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.080 the first team eleven on eleven. So you think Gary 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.679 Gilbert's performance on leck thereof do you think that had 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:04.120 anything to do with Cooper Rush being Oh yeah, and 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:09.200 so to do with Cooper Rush's performance not not not Gilbert. 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.560 So if Gilbert would have just really ballowed out the 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.560 way he Rush did, let's say, if their performances would 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.040 have been have been switched. Yeah, that they still think 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:17.640 they would have No, No, they would not have been 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.160 with that if Gilbert had done what Cooper did last game. 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.280 Just then yeah, he left the door open. Yes he did. 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.719 And now now it's up to Rush to see can 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.520 I do that two weeks in a row? And now okay, 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.199 according to urban Meyer this morning Jacksonville, he said, now 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.240 we'll see. He can may get to Sunday and decide 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:38.320 against it, but he said that all healthy players are 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.600 going to play, and so Cooper Rush will go up 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.639 against what is essentially Jacksonville's first team defense that they 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.840 did say Miles Jack's playing very well. For him, it 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.640 is not it's probably not going to play the way 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.800 he terms it. It's whether you're game ready or not. 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.320 And he considers Miles Jack to be game ready. Does 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.440 remind you of Jimmy Johnson taking over in eighty nine, Well, 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:58.320 you know, I think a lot of it has to 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:03.440 do with Jacksonville. Here's the other thing about The Cowboys 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:06.439 are in a different position than Jacksonville, not only because 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.840 of expectations, because okay, Jacksonville's got a rookie quarterback. They 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:12.959 were for their one and fifteen last year. They had 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.400 thought picking the draft, so they whatever they were, and 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:17.760 so they are not going to the Super Bowl this year, 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:21.040
