It's getting chippy. You like that? 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.120 A good transition on the practice field quality. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.280 Getting chppy on the practice field quality. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.880 We're getting into practice, We're getting into this. Day four, Day. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.959 Five, Well, were two practices down. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.960 Now, okay, fair enough, shoddy address the fights that were 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.840 happening at camp. We saw one early on day one, 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.680 No big deal, A little skirmish, no big deal. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:57.680 Uh. 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.480 Day two was a little interesting, a real chippy. Maybe 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.200 a punch or two thrown. I don't know. Sources say maybe. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.440 A source informed there was a couple of punches thrown. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.840 Shotty talked about it. Punches can't be We can't be 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:17.400 throwing punching out there. Can't do it is And I 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.600 know he's talking about a new culture and being intense, 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:22.760 finding ways to be intense, but you have to be 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.600 disciplined at the same time. Boy, is this this is 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.400 toxic culture that we're seeing in Brian Schottenheimer. 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.760 No, I mean this is normal. I think this is football. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.880 I think you heard it from contact sports. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.040 Yeah, it's a contact sport. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.720 And these are these are guys who have been wanting 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.560 to go for a while now, right, and now they 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.720 finally get a chance to kind of let it out 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.880 a little bit, and you know, not not as much 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.520 as they should be. You know, pads come on on Sunday, 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.920 there's gonna be plenty of opportunities for you to go 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.280 and hit somebody. Uh So you know, you just gotta 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.920 you just gotta know how to practice, right, and you 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.520 gotta know how to practice. This is their first time 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.840 practicing under Brian Schottheimer. I think you know as well 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.840 as you as well as he could. He shut everything 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.160 down pretty quick, and the Cowboys staff shut everything down 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.960 pretty quick. But punches and stuff like that, you know, 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.440 pushing and shoving, that's one thing, right, Like that's naturally 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.440 gonna happen. Like Keemon Hall and Ceedee Lamb got into 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:18.919 it yesterday and they got into so you know, they 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.280 got in a shove match. Throw the ball and that's fine. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.520 These guys are going at it there. You know, I 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.120 think Dak put it really well, in his in his 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.719 press conference, it's like, man, these guys are fighting for jobs. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.440 You know, they're fighting for their livelihood out here. So 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.800 it's intense. It's gonna be high pressure and naturally, is 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.039 you know, just human nature, that stuff's gonna happen. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.040 So you just can't let it boil over too far. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.599 Is it toxic? Absolutely not. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.800 You know what I would view as toxic, uh a 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.200 football team, Well, of course, but a football team that 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.039 doesn't show physicality, does not show intensity, he shows some 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.960 type of you know, lackadaisical behavior toward what is another 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.760 pivotal season for the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, this is 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.760 a pressure pecked season for reasons on several layers. Of course, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.960 the most prevalent is going to be the fact that 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.560 you're bringing in a new head coach. But on top 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.160 of that, this is his first time as an NFL 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.960 head coach. He has a lot to prove as early 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.200 as year one. So if you're Brian Schottenheimer, you want 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.320 and I love what Dak Prescott said yesterday about it. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.760 He said that it's about walking the line. He said, 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:22.680 it's a fine line. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:23.440 Excuse me. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.440 It's about being competitive but not being combative and that's 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.920 what it needs to be. But he said it's healthy, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.800 and I agree with Dak Prescott it is healthy. But 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.400 I also agree with Brian Schottenheimer and saying you can't 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:34.160 throw punches. 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.520 You absolutely can't throw punches. A shovy match here and there. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:42.000 Okay, Fine, that's called alpha males squaring off in a 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.400 circle and getting their business on. Okay, But when it 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.440 comes to you know what we saw in Day two 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.920 with a huge scrum and a couple punches were thrown 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.440 here and there. That can't happen because if you're allowing 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.880 it as a head coach to happen in practice, then 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.000 you're going to ultimately have a hard time policing it 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.279 in a game when that third down is on the line, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.240 the quarter is on the line, the game is on 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.200 the line, and that's going to be the difference. Especially 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.240 in a division that says feverishly competitive as the NFC East, 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.920 that can be the difference between you making the playoffs 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.000 and you being on the outside looking in by one 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.640 or two games. So we talk about penalties, self discipline, 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.680 being able to control what you can control. You can 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.200 control what your hands are doing when when it comes 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.240 time to, you know, get face to face with a guy. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.520 And on top of that, I am eternally on the 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.560 on the level of one of the dumbest things I've 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.520 ever seen in life. And I play ball. Why would 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.200 you throw a punch of a guy wearing a helmet? Yeah, 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:37.640 the helmet always wins. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:39.880 It's always a good question. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.640 It's an interesting decision. But as you're saying, you know, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.080 motions are high, you have you're competing and getst one 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.680 of them, showing that there. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.360 Are dogs out there, which I love. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.599 I like seeing it. But as brianon shot number said 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.280 that there has to be a way to discipline it. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.880 And another thing that you wrote in your article following 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.320 up Brian Schottennhammer talking about it is that when you 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.279 have aggressiveness to that level, when you control it, it 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.240 is all the more dangerous. That to me is indicative 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.120 of who this team. It's a good thing that early 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.720 on in camp we're seeing these things, but you don't 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.120 want that to reflect on the field on Sunday when 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.360 you're going against teams, finds can be incurred and you 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.880 can get players eliminated off the field, you know, thrown 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.320 off the field for throwing punches. It's not good. We've 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.840 seen it before. We don't want to tap it. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.960 Here's what I said, and feel free to check out 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.600 the article on Dallas Cowboys dot com that I wrote 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.320 based upon what Shody said about how he's policing and 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.520 how he expects the Dallas Cowboys to act in practice. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.239 And for those of us that were present in real time, 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.560 it was refreshing to see Schottenheimer's response, Oh, he. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:45.920 Got into it. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.360 If we got into it, there were f bombs flying 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.640 all over the place, and then magically there were no 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.960 other incidences thereafter in that particular practice. Of course, we 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.200 had almost one yesterday. But then what do we see. 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.320 Schottheimer runs in, He helps pull keem on on, haul 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.320 off Keimon had he had it cocked back. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.160 What did Schattahammer say, don't do it. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.920 Don't do it because Schottenheimer is going to penalize these 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.800 guys as it would be in the game. You're probably 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.440 gonna miss some reps out here in practice, you might 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.000 get a fine by the team out here in training camp. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.120 So ultimately to your point, Josh, like I said in 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.920 the article, intensity plus control equals wins equal success. That's 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.640 how you do it. You need to be the most 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.080 intense you can be. But at the end of the day, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.560 you have to stand on that razor's edge effectively. 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.680 And holding players accountable, I think is a huge part 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.280 of it too. And holding the coach except responsble. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:34.840 What accountability word again? 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:36.680 It keeps coming up. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.920 Coming up with Schoenheimer's culture. Okay, I like that. I 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.280 like tasty, spicy. 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.920 Another thing you guys can control, or are the players 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.800 can control on the field, turnovers. Yes, that's been a 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.520 big emphasis, at least for me watching practice over the 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.480 past couple of days. You're seeing a lot of turnovers. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.200 You're seeing the defense making a lot of plays now, 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.800 I guess outside looking at and when you hear about interceptions, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.400 I think at practice, especially a training camp, when you're 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.680 instilling a brand new offense, those are it comes with 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.440 the territory. You want those chances to be taken out 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.560 here versus on Sunday against whoever. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:14.920 It is. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:21.000 My thing is fumbles, ball security. We're seeing quite a 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.920 bit of that so far. First week of camp, first 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.240 couple of days, instilling those things. Does that concern you 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.800 at all about Shoddy's offense? 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.800 Not necessarily, you know, I think the fumbles that we've seen, right, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.000 I think when you think about earlier in practice, these 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.040 are way after the play is blown dead, right. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.280 These are training camp reps to where, hey, they. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.199 Want everybody to run through the finish, right, they want 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:46.800 everybody to run through the finish. I mean, I think 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.839 back to the one that Donovan Wilson knocked out. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:51.719 I don't remember who the. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.160 Receiver was, but he was twenty thirty yards down the 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.520 field just thinking he was fine, and then Donovan Wilson 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.280 comes in and punches the ball out. So there's a 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.120 catch twing two, right, Because on one hand, when Matty 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.480 Eberflus's defensives have been at their best, they're forcing turnovers. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:07.800 Their stop of the run. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.480 We talked about that extensively, and so when you see that, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.319 you know, Malik Hooker getting a one handed pick, Zion Childress, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.520 the undrafted free agent at of Kentucky getting a pick. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.960 Those are all things that you know encourage you. And 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.080 those were two plays that and those guys just made 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.920 it. It wasn't necessarily a bad I guess you could say 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.840 it was bad passes from Dak. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.120 And Joe Milton could throw the picks. But those guys 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.080 made a heck of a play so. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.720 Interception that today that. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.720 That's an example of it was not a bad pass. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.320 Malee Cooker just made the play. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.240 I think dak On the through it a little a 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.160 little bit and it allowed him to make the less 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:47.400 it was. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:48.280 It was a great play. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.800 And now will say there have been a bad pass 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:57.000 or to the past the pick by Marshawn Knelan. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.960 Yeah, that wasn't. 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:02.760 So it's a Thommy's point. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.800 It's a mix of Well, first of all, to answer 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.120 your question, no, I'm not concerned with the offense because 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.520 I believe the offense will get that cleaned up. Because 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.960 we talk about Brian Schotenheimer taking over as head coach. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.240 Guess what, he's also taken over his offensive play caller. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.240 You have new pieces in play, whether it be George Pickens, 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.640 whether it be you know, Tyler Gotton going in the 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.080 year two, Tyler Bookie, Tyler Booker or rookie right guard. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.360 Four new faces in the running backs room. The list 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.439 goes on and on. So they need time to kind 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.400 of finish their installation in jail. From an ebra flu standpoint, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.480 that makes it easier for your guys to make plays 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.079 on the ball, right, and when you're talking about punching 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.360 the ball away, which is you know, just one example 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:42.320 of that's not. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.640 Based on scheme. Right. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.000 So while the Cowboys offense is working on scheme and 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.360 routes and timing and things like that, if you're a 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.960 defensive player, one thing that's never going to be predicated 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.200 upon what the scheme was, what the play call was, 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.000 is if you're near me and that the ball is 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.240 near me, I can punch at it. Okay, if you 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.240 make the throw and I'm in the vicinity, I can 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.600 go up and try to get the ball. So kudos 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.520 to the defense. I mean, they're just taking the ball 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.200 away time and time again. Alie Cooker kayer Elam. You 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.760 mentioned Zon Childrens, Donavan Wilson's punching the ball free. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.520 I mean, these guys are really getting. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.400 After the on defense and it's going to what Schottenhammer 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.840 is predicting in that the Cowboys quote unquote will be 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.679 one of the top teams in the league and take 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.760 away So far so good. We'll see if it plays 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.000 out in a very dan Quinnish way, but so far 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:24.480 so good. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.360 Well, keep me honest, do the interceptions kind of give 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.079 you guys any sort of like, are you fine as 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.719 far as like them learning this new offensive scheme? Are 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.079 you fine with seeing an interception or two? Or is 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.080 it just like literally, I don't want to see it 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:38.480 at all. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.600 I'm fine seeing it in training camp. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.280 It's training camp, and it's the first one to get 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:42.800 it out the way. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.680 It's no training I thine like, I think that sometimes 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.679 maybe we put too much stock into you know, Dak 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.880 has two picks on the day, it's the guy's gonna 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.680 throw interceptions. He's gonna throw interceptions in the regular season. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:02.480 Every quarterback does. It's gonna have And you know, this 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.640 is a guy who's coming back from injury. He's still 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:06.920 I don't know if he's knocking the rust off at 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.720 this point because he was there for OTAs and things 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.760 like that, but you know, he's getting used to a 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.640 new receiver in George Pickens and trying to understand what 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.320 Brian Schottenheimer wants. I don't know if if Dak necessarily 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.000 going into year ten and he's had several years working 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.120 with Brian Schottenheimer, if there's necessarily a lot that he 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.640 has to pick up or a lot that he has 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.160 to learn or a lot that he has to change 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.200 at this point in his career. But nonetheless, it takes 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.280 time to mesh everything together, and it takes time to 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.679 get back up to training camp speed, because I think 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.240 training camp speed is different than Ota speed. Ota is 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.840 a lot of install and you know, getting these guys 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.640 up to speed, and you know it's the guys around 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.240 him too, George Pickens getting comfortable and these running backs 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.840 getting comfortable to running backs tack Prescott's never played with, 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.679 and right now they don't have pads on, so we 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.000 can't really tell a lot from. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.680 The running backs. So no, it doesn't concern me at all. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.560 It's gonna happen, and it it's. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.560 Gonna happen again. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.959 Prescott's gonna throw more interceptions during training camp, but he's 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.440 also gonna throw touchdowns. I mean, I thought the offense 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.840 responded pretty well yesterday. After those first couple of picks. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.040 It looked rocky at first, but they made some good 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:11.839 plays down the stretch. 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.120 Well, wasn't it. After the Mollie Cooker interception. Immediately following 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.280 that play was one of the best passes I'd seen 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.600 all of camp, back to George Pickens in a corner 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.600 route yeah, just insane man. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:26.080 Yeah, George. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.120 That and not to mention just the relationship that in 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.200 chemistry the DACK is already building with George Pickens this 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.560 early in training camp. I mean, that's like one of 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.200 my favorite things to see is George Pickens out here 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.200 because it looks like he's having a great time. I 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.560 don't know what was going on in Pittsburgh, but it 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.280 seems like he's very happy to be here. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.680 It bears mention in what you just said in that 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.240 George Pickens. Again, don't know where the narrative came from 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.960 out in Pittsburgh. I'm not in Pittsburgh, so I don't know. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:53.840 All I can do is based upon what I'm seeing, 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.520 and George Pickens is having the. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.760 Time of his life's out here. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.640 And if you don't believe less, there are plenty of 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.440 video that show him dancing and celebrating with cde Lamb. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.520 You know, the grenade celebration. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.840 Just that from us. Actually we typically do that after 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.680 the show, and then they saw us doing it and they. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.760 Were like, oh, well then I got it from ronald'cunye. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.400 So but I mean, yeah, I got it from Ronald d'acunya. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:22.600 I I Thommas got it from Ronald mc but no, again, 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.720 just to recap really quickly, I mean, this is an 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.760 offense that not only are they looking to install a 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.240 new scheme in Brian Schottenheimer, but Shotty keeps talking about 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.400 multiple looks, multiple sets, right, so they're trying to install 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.880 multiple things under center Shotgun. You saw Dak Prescott take 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.520 off on a read option yesterday. So while they're doing 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.040 all of this and trying to get time in and 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.000 everything down, atdvantage defense because all you have to do 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.520 is react to an offense that's. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:48.760 Still working out a lot of tweaks. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.880 So are there some you know, throws that Dak Prescott 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.960 and Joe Milton and Will Greer want back through. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.520 The first two practices, Absolutely there are. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.400 There are some bad throws there, but then there are 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.680 some throws that it was just an athletic place. So 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.280 kudos to the defense. But again to your point, do 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.920 I care about am I worried? Should I say, am 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.920 I worried about interceptions and training camp? 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.960 No? Because this is when you experiment. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:11.880 This is when you see what works, so that when 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.280 you get to the regular season and it's September fourth 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.120 and it's against the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:17.920 You know what to try and. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.120 What to not try, what don't don't, don't do that, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.600 but do that? 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.280 All right, boys, I have a big question for you guys. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.680 When we get back from the break, I need you 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.480 to pick one offensive player, one defensive player, biggest standouts 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.840 from camp so far, Week one, when we come back, 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.520 talking Cowboys on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.680 AT and T has a new guarantee.
