They'll do a walk through. They've 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:32.160 got a short walkthrough scheduled for Friday before wheels up 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:37.160 going to Seattle for their second preseason game that will 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:43.039 start Central Time at nine pm in Seattle, So you 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:43.720 know what that. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.400 Means, get home very very late. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.160 I saw the itinerary and the projection was we would 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:55.360 show up at DFW charter site at six oh five am. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.120 Wow, Enjoy you said, so. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.160 If anybody wants to come and greet us as we 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.000 from training cap, feel free to do so. But we've 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.679 certainly got a lot to talk about here. On mix 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:14.160 Shots and Nate, we got a chance to listen to 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:20.639 Zach Martin talk about his holdout and getting the extension 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.720 that he was not extension, the adjustment to his two 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.880 years last two years on his contract with the Cowboys. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:39.560 And we also see where Ezekiel Elliott signed a deal 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.160 a one year deal with the Patriots and the Cowboys 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.760 will have to face him on October first, since he 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.079 went to the New England Patriots. Did you ever want 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.480 to play for Bill Belichick? 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:53.000 No? 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.440 No, I know he's a great coach, but nah. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.639 But I want to get back to Zach man give 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.640 us some of the information that he gave you doing 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:01.239 this right. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.960 And I thought that the key thing was that, you know, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.560 he said he this had been on his mind, that 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:15.680 he wanted to get this adjustment to his contract, felt 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.240 like he deserves it. So basically what the Cowboys did. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.840 He was looking for an extra six million dollars in 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.040 each of his last two years on the contract. He 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.640 ended up agreeing to four million more for each of 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.680 the year, so they stuffed eight point five million into 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.280 the final two years of his contract. He gets four 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.360 this year, four and a half next year. But here 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.120 was the key thing. And as a player, Nate, you, 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:52.200 I'm sure will herald this that this is what you want. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.600 When he walked off and he was getting ready to 0:03:54.640 --> 0:04:02.040 go into the workout room, there said so the last 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.440 two years are guaranteed. Now, how important was it was that? 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.080 And he goes that was the most important thing to me, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.480 that they guaranteed the last He was out of guarantees 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.119 on his contract, on his base salaries, and he got 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.560 them guaranteed. And when he got those guaranteed, that he 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.280 felt like the compromise of less money that he was 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.920 looking for was fine because that's what he wanted. Because 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.400 he told me, I don't want to have I didn't 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.400 want to have to go through this again next year, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.760 meaning have to play on the final year of your 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:41.279 contract and not have it guaranteed. So to me two players, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:46.200 guarantees are really important in this day and age of 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.120 the NFL. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.400 Especially when you're in the back end of your contract 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.919 and your career. In your career, like Zeke is on 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.760 the back end of his contract, and that's why he's 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.320 in the position he's in. Dad was on the back 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.160 end of his contract, So that's why he was in 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.040 the position. And that's what you're gonna start seeing players 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.880 do now. They're gonna say, you know what, They're gonna 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.039 go to management and say, okay, you owe me, say 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.840 fifteen million dollars over and then the next year you 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.360 owe me sixteen but none of it is guaranteed. They 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.599 may say, well, let's go for twelve both years and 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.440 both of us guaranteed. I'd rather get some money guaranteed 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.960 and may lose maybe eight to ten million dollars, but 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.560 I have a guaranteed contract that guarantees me to this 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.640 team and another year of performance. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.760 And if you look at at Zach, he turns thirty 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.840 three this year, Yes, sir, turns thirty four next year, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.560 and then that's the end of his contract. And so 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.360 what happens the next year when during the season he 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.200 would turn thirty five. Yes, right, and who knows does 0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.479 he want to keep playing? Is he able to playing 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.279 at the level he's playing? Right? And a lot of guys, 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.760 you know, if if they're not able to sustain the 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.839 level of ability, they'll they'll retire a. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:14.160 Couple of years ago. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:20.200 Yeah, yeah, with Travis Frederick. So anyway, Uh, it got settled. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.200 I thought the funniest thing I heard from his teammates 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.520 when he when he returned. We were interviewing Terrence Steele, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.120 and they asked Steele how happy it was to have 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.520 Zach back, and he said, I hugged him forever when 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:41.479 he entered the room. 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.280 And that is why you you. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:49.160 I try to explain that people the value of a 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.400 guy like that, and and and people are never understanding. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:58.080 Uh. And I know who else hugged him? Be oddish? Yeah, Uh, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.320 when you have when you have a. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:05.120 Guy that can solidify your offensive line in every area, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:11.640 mentally in the classroom, technique, wise, in the classroom, teaching guys, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.280 showing guys, then come out on the field and mentally 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.240 and physically do this. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.400 This is what I was talking about. Look at this, 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.120 look at that. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.840 This is how you step, this is how you do this, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.120 This is how you move a guy. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.040 This is how you set up a guy. And I saw. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.040 Ball just in his back pocket every way when talking 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.720 to him, talking to him, talking to him, because Ball 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.160 was a tackle last year. Now he's a guard. Different techniques, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.960 just subtle, different techniques. And I'm just watching these people 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:43.760 just talking to him, talking to him. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.400 He just fell right back into the leadership role. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.360 And it just made me feel good because I'm sitting 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.600 here saying, how many shows can we sit here and 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.640 ignore this this hole because it's gonna become a physical things. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.760 What's the season starting? So I'm so glad he's back. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.679 We don't know whether he'll get hurt, but he's even 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.760 if he does, he'll be tremendous in that in that 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.679 room and helps give. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:12.600 A guy's confidence. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.280 Still, you don't know what it meant for Still what 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.320 four years ago when he first got here and he 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.760 was working with with the butcher or the President that's 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.280 you know, the team called him the butcher. 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:25.280 I call him the President. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:26.640 Uh. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.920 When when when a guy that's all pro, parental, y'all pro, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.320 walk up and say, hey, I like working with you. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.679 Hey man, let's watch film together. We'll we'll work together. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.120 And did he tell the media that and to coach 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:46.280 that I like working with this guy? Come on now, no. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.280 Matter what the world is saying, while this kid going 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.320 through his ups and downs in his earlier part of 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.640 his career, this guy know he's got somebody's that's loving 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.880 on him. That's a tremendous thing, NICKI. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:01.760 And think about it. Uh, without him there, this was 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.600 a very inexperienced offensive line, right, nobody is with more 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.520 than three years of experience except for Tyron Smith right. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.360 And now uh you get Zach back in there. So 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:20.200 the offensive line as they move forward is set Tyron 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:26.160 Smith left tackle, Tyler Smith left guard, Tyler Battish center, 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.040 Zach Martin right guard, and Terrence Steele, who looks like 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.880 he has recovered from his ACL surgery right tackle. And 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.400 so now the thing on the offensive line is gotta 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.280 finds some Richards. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:48.000 Ball you met a uh t J Bassnifman and Fourniac 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.360 right and and what losco those are your five guys 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:52.920 that are fighting right. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:57.080 Like you know what for these backup roles they are 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:03.040 now now the competition intense because you don't get to 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.960 you get all the preseason, but now your reps get 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.960 limited because now the coaches have to start giving true 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.920 rookies and first year guys more reps as time go on. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.920 So now it get condensed because the butcher is back. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.640 Now you gotta whereas you was getting twelve reps, maybe 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.920 getting six. So they the narrow or the margin of 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.800 wrongness that you can do wrong gets narrow. 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:41.520 So Zach Martin jumped into drills yesterday. It was individual drills. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.200 They're gonna let him ramp up, yes, and so he'll 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.000 do the same thing today, think about it. And then 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.640 it's a walk through Thursday, an early walkthrough Friday. You 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.160 don't do anything on Saturday during the game. So he'll 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:01.600 get back into padded practices fully on Monday when we 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:07.800 get back to the Star and he so the first 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.560 team offensive line will be set, and now they'll have 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.200 what two and a half weeks or so to get 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.560 ready for the season opener. And I think as much 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.640 as I'm sure Zach was working while he was missing, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.360 that'll be enough time to get him oh the coordination 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:33.440 of the offensive line right, So yeah, he was obviously 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.480 happy to be back. And I thought this was interesting. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.400 So someone asked him about did the fines that he 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.800 was incurring that he has to pay for missing training 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.760 camp practices while under contract, and he said, well, you know, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:56.080 the way I looked at it is making more, making 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.040 more money to offset what I'm losing. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.240 Yeah, he lost but Brady eight hut, but he gained 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.280 four meal this year, so he just got three three point. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.440 Two, that's all. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:06.880 Yeah. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.679 Yeah, yeah, I uh, sometimes you gotta make money, you 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:11.920 lose money. 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.440 To make money. Yes, yes, yes. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.559 I thought that was a pretty good perspective on the 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.280 whole thing. And you know, and he said, the other 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.600 key thing to getting this done is remember the Cowboys 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.000 went back last weekend for play that game, and he 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.600 got an opportunity to talk to owner Jerry Jones face 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:34.400 to face. Uh and and felt like that really, you know, 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.400 moved things in the right direction for him and for 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.280 the team because they needed him right and they're not 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.720 gonna play without him, and he was not gonna miss 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:48.360 a paycheck. Uh So it's all good that, you know, ends. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:55.400 Well, yeah, you know, we we and I'm not one 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.079 of them guys, y'all know me. I'm not one of 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.800 them guys that played it every year. Super I don't 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.320 know play that game. That's a dangerous game, that's false hope. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.040 But I feel I feel this year that this team 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.960 is special and I feel that they have a chance 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.600 to win the second round and have them and get 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.760 into the NFC Championship game. I don't know how that 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.760 will play out, but I feel like, if health prevails, 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.200 these guys should be without a doubt, and this in 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.720 the NFC Championship game. And uh, and we need it's 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.440 like six or seven players I think we need in 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.840 order for that to happen. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.520 So let's. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.520 You mentioned the five backups that they're using on the 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.560 second team. You can't probably keep all five. You're not 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.200 going to keep ten offensive line usually eight to nine. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.520 Somebody forces the issue of those guys, which which one 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:48.920 of them? 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.720 Have you seen that you think? Okay? These guys are 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.640 I like him? Yeah, I like him. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.680 He played he he he pulled a Tyler Smith left guard, 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.920 left guard, left guard, oh, left tackle in a preseason 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.880 game exactly, and and and I like that, you know. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.440 And and he went out there and he gave up 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.760 a sack. If you know football, I ain't gotta explain it. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.480 See if you don't, too bad for you on this one. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:17.680 I just like him. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.880 Uh. Then I like t J. Fast. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.520 I like him. He's a young guy. But you gotta 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.960 give Matt a chance at that center. I don't think 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.360 he could be your guard. Yeah, unless it's just a 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:35.360 short stint guard center and you got the Hoffman kid 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:36.400 Rock Hoffman. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.000 You gotta you gotta give him a look. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:38.600 Uh. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.640 And I think they're gonna it's Tuma a dogga. I 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.400 think they're gonna keep him. I would like to really see. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.280 And he's gotta get he's got to get healthy. He's out. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.680 He's been out all last week. Uh, he's got he 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.760 he suffered a hyper extended knee which caused a bone bruise. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.680 I will to him, and that's what he's trying to 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.360 get recovered from. They are hoping that he can get 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.800 back next week. So it's a guy that has some experience. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.600 We got to see if that experience means more than 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.359 how he's performed so far. Yeah, because he's somewhat struggled. 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.960 So they've they've got to find at least three backups. 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:21.240 Well Lascow and uh, Josh Ball, those are you Those 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.760 are your dogs in this fight. Those are your dogs 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.480 that are in this fight just by my opinion. You know, 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.160 you can you can say that uh instrument is in 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.240 this deal, a center or. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.520 Earl Bostic is in this deal. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:40.240 But these next two preseason games, look at who they start, right, 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.520 it's gonna be big and who they start. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.560 And and everybody will say, well, these preseason games they're 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.000 they're not important. Well they are to figure out who 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.320 these backup offensive linemen are. Because you you've got what 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.240 you got. No one's coming to fall out of the sky, right. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.560 And can you You gotta be careful when you give 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.640 up draft capital and money. You gotta be careful, especially 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.280 doing It's one thing to be four or five games 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.240 into the season, yeah, but not not now on you 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.240 just wait during the you know, you know, a couple 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:12.960 of weeks after the preseason is over. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.240 And you mentioned and maybe they were listening to you 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.720 with Farniac, they haven't that guard. Well it practiced these 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.960 last couple of days they had them back at the center. 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:24.400 Meg. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.400 The thing film hurts you and film helps you. Should 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.840 I put first the positive Film helps you and film 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:38.000 hurts you. And once a guy sees something and it's devastating, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.920 they're gonna use it. Against you, and they these people 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:46.360 have always known, the coaches that he has short arms, right, 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.920 But he's been the last few years, been able to 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.120 get the perfect punches or get the perfect grab, and 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.800 it hadn't but it was exposed badly. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.200 And I know what's gonna happen to him now. Every 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.120 guy that goes in. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.400 They gonna bull rushing bull rushing bull, and that's not 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.919 gonna be a good thing for him. But at center, 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.320 it's closer, you get closer it for some reason, defensive 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.520 linemight love to get right up on that center and 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.960 short arms don't play a big part in that. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.959 And we're gonna take a break here in a second. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.159 But that backup guard spot, to me is important because 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.280 if anything happens at the tackle position long term, Tyler 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.919 Smith goes to tackle, I think you gotta find a 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:27.480 guard then. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.960 And that's why I'm saying that guard. That's why I 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.200 mentioned more guards than I did than I did tackles, 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.240 because you're gonna have to find another ball player. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:38.960 That's what I'm thinking of. 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.919 Maybe two weeks in or three weeks in the season start, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.240 maybe somebody will fall fall into us. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.600 You know, right, all right, that's Nate Newton, I'll Mickey Spagnola, 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.800 and we'll continue from Oxnard, California with mix shots on 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.720 Dallascowboys dot Com. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.000 I'm Duk Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboy.

I bet you could. So we 0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:00.000 talked about Zach Barton being back. The other big news 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.000 since we did last did mix Shots, Michaeh Parsons ends 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:09.280 up signing a one year deal with the New England Patriots. 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:15.280 And I say, Michaeh Parsons was Ezekiel Elliott. 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.000 That was one million dollars. 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.000 That was my next That was my next, my next 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.399 item that we were going to talk about. Because Parsons 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:28.720 suffered a strained calf, fusible in practice and uh he 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.600 missed it was late, yes, so he missed the last 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.399 kind of dozen snaps or so walked off with his 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:36.879 calf wrapped up. 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.720 What was his facial expression? 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.200 He was not happy about it, right, and he didn't 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.000 want to talk about it. Somebody said, you know, how 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.240 did it happen? And it was like, it's evidently he 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.600 got kicked, and he said, it's just playing football. So 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:54.719 how bad is it? He goes, I got to go 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.000 get it checked out, and that's he kind of just 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.040 walked off. So we'll see. Uh, if you know, I'm 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.840 thinking he ain't practicing today, right, And you know. 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:09.119 What, I hate to be mean, but finally we won't 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:13.000 have the first eight plays of every every beginning. 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:20.000 Practice mess thank you. They got his ruin more drills 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.000 and team because they can't block them. And it's not 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:28.520 a reflection on I think the Cowboys offensive lineman. He 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.120 does that to everybody, you. 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.840 Know what, so you know it's so disciplined and I 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:37.200 used to hate this about Lawrence Taylor. Two, he could 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:41.159 run him perfectly around the horn. That is what we 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.800 want to do every snap. We just know that we 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:45.240 can run you around the horn. 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.960 Take away you inside rush and just run you around 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:48.359 the horn. 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.679 Then I can throw my hips around and keep my 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.439 hand on your hip and just run with you. 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:52.960 Right. 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:56.520 But if you get to the point where it's two steps, 0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.480 he had explosiveness to get away away from you. 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:04.879 And that's what's scary. I watched seventy seven. 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:10.120 Tyron just perfectly punched him, knocked him out. 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.520 He came back into Tyrone, Tyron wrote him, and. 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.800 He was getting ready to put his hands on the 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:20.600 hip to run him. Well, he took off and luckily 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.680 Dak could step up in the pocket. You know what 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:24.119
