This is the Player's 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:23.320 Lounge broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:29.000 Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and new He scrugs. 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.360 All right, everybody is Friday. You know what that means. 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.839 It's time to hang out with you boys the players 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.279 Lounge right here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. I'm 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.680 Newly Scrugs, a long time reporter covering the team here 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.200 along with two former players, two former safeties, Barry Church 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:50.440 and Danny McCray. Danny McCray and I are still here 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.720 in Dallas Fort Worth at our SWC Mortgage Virtual Studios. 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.960 But somebody has decided that he's got to get out 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.880 of town again. Um damn Corona because he just gonna 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.160 go away. He gonna go and that is very Church. So, 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.360 brother Church, where are you where you posted up at 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.880 right now? I'll tell you what. Man with friends like y'all, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:19.479 who needs enemies? Man? No, I'm I'm in Tahoe right now. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.440 You know, the heat was a little bit much for 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.720 your boy down there in Texas, so I had to 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.640 escape for a little bit, get some swings on the 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.039 golf course and get a little bit cooler weather. But 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.520 you know, I'm always a professional. I got my equipment 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.840 with me, and I'm ready to break this player's lounge down. Hey, 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.800 it's been seventies. It's been seventy and eighty degrees in 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.200 Texas all weeks, so I don't know about that excuse 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:41.880 he got going on. It's a golf course in his 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:47.800 backyard as well. So it's hey, like I said, man 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.560 with friends like yall who these enteviees Man. Two weeks ago, 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.000 we would have bought it. Okay, two weeks ago. This 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.400 week it has been good. It has been raining, so 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.600 it has it's totally different. Now. I will say this 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.800 U Tahoe is a fantastic place. And I gotta remember 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.560 there's a there's a breakfast and lunch spot near or 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.760 how far are you for Incline Village? So ten minutes okay. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.119 It was a little, great little breakfast place over there, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.919 so if you like some pancakes and some hash browns, 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.239 is a good little spot. There wasn't too far from 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.960 where I stayed at down there, but that's that's a 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.240 nice place to go get your little golf, little golf 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.480 on there. You missed the players the American Century Classic 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.000 a couple of months. You gotta find a way to 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.040 take rod You gotta you gotta find a way to 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:36.800 take Rodney Harrison's place, all right. So yeah, so we'll 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.600 see about that. So you replace one safety with another safety, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.840 so so we will we'll check in on that. But okay, 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.560 so so clearly, Church, you didn't see the Rocks video 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.119 yesterday by COVID, did you. No, I did not see 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.239 the Rocks video yesterday, but I do know about him 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.560 and his family catching it. So yeah, yeah, you know 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.880 right right right. But Church out here, you know, flying 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.280 and jet setting all the carts tech. All right, Now, 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.959 look I got my mask. I got my mask. Well, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.400 the beauty of this if if you get COVID, you 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:18.800 can still do the show. That's all out, all right, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.400 We've got one full hour to go right here on 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.280 the players Lives. Let's dive right into the big news 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.720 for the Dallas Cowboys, and that's cutting haha, Clinton Dick. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.440 Something we talked about on this show last week that 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.320 they could do this. So the Cowboys end up cutting 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.120 the safety they signed five months ago. Who once played 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.440 for Mike McCarthy in Green Bay. And here's what I 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.520 like about this move. Go back to the old line 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.440 that Bob Sugarhead and the movie Jerry mcguireway says, it's 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.160 not show friends, is show business. And I get Mike 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.600 McCarthy a lot of credit to say, hey, look, haha, 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.600 thank you for what you did in the past, but 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.080 right now you're not fitting what Mike Nolan is doing here. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.720 So to me, that's a positive because many times, and 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.680 you guys have seen this because you played in this 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.440 league for different teams. When the team signed someone, nobody 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.520 wants to admit him. Mistake was made. If the guy's 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.280 not showing up a camp, he didn't show up a camp, 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.000 he didn't perform it, hes gun. So ha's done, Danny, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.280 your thoughts. My thoughts is, man, I mean, how how 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.839 bad did he play? Because didn't he have guaranteed money 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.560 in there? So they paid them for what I guess 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.919 a few days of practice? Was it like one point 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.240 five million? He must have been making some some some 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.000 serious bad plays out there, or Darren Thompson is really 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.200 really good at playing safety. So I'm not sure really 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.039 what's going on. But Like I said, we've seen this 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.560 in the past with Church out playing out playing of 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960 Brodney Pool. So just because you signed a guy doesn't 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.719 mean that he's going to be the guy to step 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.200 in and feel that starting role. Once you step on 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.640 the field, everybody's equal. So this just proves that that 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.880 it doesn't matter who whoever goes out there and makes 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.040 those plays against those interceptions as a guy who will 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.440 be on the field. So you know, shout out to 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.400 high Clint Dix. I hope he lands in a good spot, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.440 but I think they made the right to since he 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.360 wasn't getting much playing time. Yeah this one, yeah, this 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.840 one right here is a little confusing for your boy. Um. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.479 Like Danny said, they had paid him a little bit 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.080 of money. I think he got some guaranteed money in 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.280 there as well when they brought him in a free agency, 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.480 and I thought for at least they would have given 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.960 them maybe a game or two to you know, try 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.279 to get you know, something under his belt and maybe 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.159 maybe he's make a gamer. Maybe he's not a practice player, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.840 but he's a gamer. So I thought they would at 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.080 least give him one or two games. But I guess 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.200 they felt that, you know, he just wasn't showing at 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:31.599 that camp. You know, he must have been you know, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.040 missing assignments or just wasn't covering as well as they 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.160 had thought. And they thought Darian Thompson was was the 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.560 answer there well as of right now is the answer? 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.520 Um for me, I don't believe Darian Thompson is the answer. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.320 I think he's more of the you know, situational player, 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.080 more of a spot safety. But um, we'll see. Maybe 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.920 I'm wrong with that. Maybe he is the answer for 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.000 this Cowboys or Dallas Cowboys team. But it was a 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.119 very surprising move when they really or when they cut 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.440 how hot dicks. But he just must must have not 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.720 been playing well during these he's few training camp practices 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.800 all I will I'm willing to bet you just because 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.680 like being in a situation that seem to happen in 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.640 the locker room. That not so much that he wasn't 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.479 a practice player, but once he's seen that his rest 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.839 was getting cut, a little frustration probably set in and 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.479 that probably affected his play. And then you start seeing 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.440 guys kind of pounding around the locker room. Like I said, 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.200 they had that picture out where you see him just 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.240 standing behind the whole crowd looking a little sad away 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.400 from the team, and I think that kind of kind 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.520 of weighed on it, and in the perception from the 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.080 coaches that you know, he really probably didn't want to 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.960 be there anymore. He wasn't gonna be the starter. It 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.520 has to be something, because you don't just pay a 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.679 guy at one point five and let him go before 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.440 the season four you even gets a shot and you 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.599 still owe him all that bread. Well, it's actually two 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.240 point two five million that was guaranteed to Haha Clinton Dick, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.120 So the Cowboys would still owe him a million and 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.520 guaranteed salary. But if he signed somewhere else in twenty twenties, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.800 it's nine hundred and ten thousand dollars. Michael Gelk in 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.400 the Morning News thing, it's because of offset language and 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.880 that any collary that Clinton Dix earns elsewhere twenty twenty 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.559 will be deducted from the amount of the Dallas os. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.560 But here's another point that Gelkin made here, and you 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.239 guys understand this because you all played special teams heavily 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.119 in your careers. Ha, Clinton Dix only played one hundred 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.960 and twenty one snaps on special teams the past four years. Combined, 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.480 so you simply couldn't. He's not gonna be a you know, 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.440 one starter. He was getting nothing on special teams, so 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.480 you start looking at this thing based on he's not 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.440 playing special teams. He's not the guaranteed starter they didn't have. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.240 They had to me, I think they made the right 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.360 courageous move to cut the guy because so many times 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.600 you see dudes who get to hang on a roster 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.239 spot and they can't really live up and do the job. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.400 So I give the Cowboys credit forgiven Mike Nolan what 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.200 he needs for his defense. Sure, yeah, I give him, Yeah, 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.920 I give him. I give him a credit. I agree 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.760 with you. It was the same type of situation. A 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.160 little bit different, but kind of the same when with 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.240 Gerald Cincmball was here. He was a great safety that 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.200 was here before. You know, me and Danny we played 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.600 with him for the first couple of years. But when 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.520 they released him, Um, he you know, he had a 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.840 guarantee money with him, but he was a guy that 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.640 you know, didn't play special teams. I feel like he 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.000 only you know, did on kickoff. But um, if you're 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.480 not that bona fide starter and you're not that guy, 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.360 that's you know, every every down, safety you have to 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.679 sprinkle in some special teams, some kickoff, some punt, something 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.920 like that to increase your value. And if you're not 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.880 doing that, then the team, like we see here in 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.600 how how Clinton Dixon's an example, Um, they're willing to 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.440 let go of you because I'm like I said before, 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.040 it's it's what you can do. What more can you do? 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.320 How much value can you bring to that team? And 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.559 obviously he didn't bring that much, so they felt like 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.920 they needed to release him. Maybe they got somebody else's 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.959 the eyes with somebody else. I don't know, something's going on. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.280 You think you think there's more to this story than 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.160 just just his play not being well. Yeah, like like 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.080 his attitude or something had to be off like something. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.120 It's just you pay him that much money and yeah, okay, 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.640 all right, he doesn't fit the scheme. You don't even 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.719 make it the week one with all the circumstances that 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.080 we have going on with COVID, you just like risk 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.000 the depth of your safety room just like that, Like yeah, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.080 and then we didn't pick anybody up instantly, so you 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.160 have to have somebody else in mind. You can't just 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.440 say I'm going into the into the season with what 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.480 I have now, So it got to be something in 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.600 the books, and I guess we'll just have to wait 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.079 and see what it is, because this is confusing, just because, 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.600 like I said, you paid the man money upfront, you 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.440 owe the money, and you don't give him a shot 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.640 in this type of season where there is no preseason 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.959 and you need depth and COVID is out there and 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.880 you just say, hey, we'll go short. So something's going on. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.120 We'll see. And I ask you a question real quick, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.840 new it Yeah, yeah, So do you think do you 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.840 think anything the rookie from last year, I believe his 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.520 name was Cedric will not Cedric Wilson, the safety his 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.080 name is is absent in my mind right now. But 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.240 do you think he had anything to do um with 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.760 Clinton ho hot dis being being released so soon? Maybe 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.360 the play in the in these preseason, on our preseason, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.640 these training and practices, maybe he's shown that he can 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.439 be that valuable depth player. Here's what I think. We 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.520 gotta also remember can They didn't pay haha, Clinton Dicks 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.040 any money and here's the guy who's been bouncing around, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.839 so you were already trying to Donovan Wilson so you're 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.000 already hit from A and M Donovan Wilson. So you're 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.520 already sitting around here, you know, saying, okay, let's take 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.520 a flyer on this dude. In a lot of ways. 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.480 This was George Iloka Park two. And remember they paid 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.560 him a little, a little cash less than what they 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.040 paid Dicks, but they brought him last year he was 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.199 running third team mad at Claris Hill. Start telegraphers class 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.520 is putting that on Twitter. How hey man, this dude 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.720 gave the answer because he run a third team and 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.400 they cut him. So to me, they've almost done the 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.960 same thing one more time. Like we're going we're going 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.040 over here a shop at Dollar General. Here is on clearance. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.440 It's haha, Clinton, dis here's two point two five meal. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.160 So you kind of got what you paid for, right. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.560 You didn't sit up here and pay big you know. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.880 This was like you paid big dollars to a guy 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.199 and he didn't really do it. And Mike Nolan's having 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.640 practice and look at it. You're saying, nah, man, this 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.880 dude's not it. So so they go ahead and they 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.240 cut the guy and we can sit up here saying, well, man, 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.040 you know you you paid him two point two five mill. Okay, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.720 he's gone, But remember they paid that kicker Kai Fourbath. 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.880 He got a little bit, a little bit of cash. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.000 It was guaranteed, but they still cut him and then 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.600 paid that paid Greg Zurlin is seven and a half 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.160 million bucks. So you know, I look at this and 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.040 I just say, this just wasn't the fit. They rolled 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.280 the dice. They never ever sink money into safety. You 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.880 guys know that, they never do it. While you left, 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.000 it went on a jack, so they ain't trying to 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.160 pay anybody at the safety spot since Roy Williams left town. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.040 So to me, just looking at High Clintics, they took 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.120 a shot. He wasn't the guy. I give him credit 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.160 for saying, all right, he's not the guy. Let's go 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.560 ahead and move on. So Darren Thompson and Daryl Warley, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.440 you're in house candidates to go ahead and move into 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.319 this slot for now. We'll see what happens when the 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.800 cuts go down on Sunday. But of course we now 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.320 need to bring in to talk about that dude. Earl. Wait, 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.480 all time, I knew it, knew you know, what would 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.360 have been nice and like it would have saved us 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.800 from this confusion. Man, I sent out on my counsel 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.360 last week and I was like, man, I'm gonna finally 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.880 get the CD dudes play and see what they got 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.480 out there on the fielding. And I turned on the 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.920 TV and I saw absolutely bit. I thought I was 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.040 gonna get some info. You saw the car and take 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.000 I take knew it. I said, knew it. Were like, 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.640 what are we seeing? You know, because they just kept 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.200 showing the sideline, you know, I thought it was gonna 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.040 show something. I was like, hey, man, maybe maybe I'll 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.320 see what's going on with Hi Hi. Maybe he's running 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.360 with the twols, he's not making plays. But you know what, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.880 didn't see much, so that's why we're confused. Hey, look 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.480 that thing was. Yeah, it was so confusing, you know, 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.560 let me go watch some hockey and hockey on them. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.600 I watched the play little. I just turned office. I 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.320 taked it. I was like, I'm good, I'm good. This 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.560 is this is not you know, you didn't never it 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.280 basically turned it to the Michael Irvan podcast, Michael and 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.440 Nate telling you that was exactly what it was. It 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.679 was Michael and n right right storytime with Michael and Nate. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.520 He remember when Jimmy did this, and oh you right, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.000 you right, big fellow, you right. Jimmy weren't playing around 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.920 on that with Big fella. So I was like, man, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.400 let me go knwy but knew why, so tell me this. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.040 If they weren't gonna show none of the scrimmage, why 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.280 couldn't they wear their numbers? So we end up looking 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.240 at no football and dudes on the sideline with no 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:30.680 jerseys off. Why why even get the jerseys with no numbers? 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.400 Not gonna see it. We're not seeing anything anyways. So 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.439 this is already built into the telecast, so every in 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.839 the contract we're gonna have this. And so this was 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.280 done before you know. This is a part of the 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:47.600 deal they got with Channel eleven and Telemundo. So that's 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.440 the deal. And then MacArthur comes and says, hey, nah, 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.360 let's not do this, and they're like, okay, it's a 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:58.240 good idea. UM, I'll set it is smart, but put 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.680 your jersey like we do. At least do something like 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.920 you're not showing us no plays. We know who the 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.600 guys are for the most part. Yeah, it was so 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.360 unpleasing to the eye to see like that whole thing 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.160 and then blank jerseys, and you know, and back and 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.560 forth with Michael or it was just unpleasing to the eye. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.600 Like I understand the point of not showing the players. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.640 You don't want to give up anything because that's your advantage. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.320 You hadn't seen McCarthy's plays in a long time. But goodness, like, 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.040 at least make it, you know, esthetically pleasing to me. 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.760 Let me see the nineteen and in the twenty one 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.000 and the four on the jersey. They're not showing us 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.320 any place. Clearly they didn't care about trying to make 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.560 any of us feel good about what we were watching, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.880 all of us, you know, at least the folks I know, 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.920 just decided, you know, I got something else to watch, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.280 you know, and that's what UM has something some playoff 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.920 basketball on, right, So it was playoff faster offs, playoff hockey. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.200 So I was just checking that out. And it also 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.800 you know what else they aired that night, UM they 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.800 aired the Black Panther. They aired The Black Panther with 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.640 with no commercial interrup options. And so I ended up 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.720 watching that because because Bozeman had passed away, and and 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:09.040 i'd uh, I've always been a big fan of his 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.840 and and so so I ended up watching that. I 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.560 was kind of the last thing I watched that night 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.480 when I turned off the scrimmage I was watching. I 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.640 was watching Black Panther, and I wanted to make sure 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.600 I recorded it and checked it out. So, um, yeah, 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.680 yeah I didn't. Uh. We weren't supposed to learn anything 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.240 from the scrimmage. I guess they did. They had converence 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.880 the goal we turned it off. I mean, you heard 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.800 Sean McVeigh. Sean mcvagh talked about how he was checking 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.600 it out like I had him, and I tried to 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.840 check it. Nothing to check out, So so give give 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.080 the Cowboys credit. You know, Sean McVay heard it was 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.040 on TV. He tried to find a way to get 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.320 the footage and saw that Mike McCarthy gave him nothing. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.040 So no advantage for Sean McVay and the Rams who 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.960 host the Dallas Cowboys on September thirteenth on the on 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.680 Sunday Night Football to to start the season. But let's 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:04.880 happen again? What happened again? Jerry? Listen? Do you yes? 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.160 I say this is not something that they could be 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.240 moving forward doing this that one. Just don't put it 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.360 on TV and just run. He made some quick money. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.920 He made some quick money, Jerry Jerry Jerry said that, yeah, yeah, 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:18.880 I think it was a one time, one time pass, 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.560 one night only, one night only. McCarthy on that. Okay, 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.760 let's let's squeeze in a break here when we come back. Uh. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:34.160 The latest on Earl Thomas and also an interesting tweet 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.800 got out there.

All right, 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.240 so we hit the show we're talking about haha, Clin 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.440 Dix and we're all agreement that, all right, something wasn't 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.800 right there. They go ahead and they moved on from him. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:19.560 I'm all for that. So Darren Thompson and Daryl Worley 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.359 are the guys right now that we're looking at in 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:26.240 terms of Okay, they're gonna get opportunity to be those 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.679 first guys out there getting the reps. Earl Thomas is 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.600 now back in the discussion. He's still a free agent 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:37.960 after the Ravens let him go on Tuesday at eight thirties. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.720 At eight thirty on Tuesdays, Jerry Jones speaks to one 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.800 oh five three the Fan, and this is what he 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.160 had to say Tuesday about Earl Thomas and the Cowboys. 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:53.480 In conversations, well, discussions directly with Earl, I have not 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.959 had any, and we have not had any. But I 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:04.640 have not had any either discussions internally we have discussions. 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:12.600 That's that. Certainly, he's an outstanding football player and we're 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.720 sitting here at personnel time and we're looking for ways 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:20.639 to get better, and he would be one of several 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.800 that we would discuss during this particular time as we 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.320 finalized this roster. And you know, it would be a 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.560 misleading thing to say that we didn't haven't discussed him, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.399 and be a misleading thing to say that we have. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.920 But Jerry, if you haven't talked to him yet, shouldn't 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.280 we take that as a strong sign that have I 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.760
