But Christy, 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 3: before we get there, there's so much that we have 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 3: to talk about, and I want to start with Saturday's 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: big scrimmage. It was obviously a big spectacle for the 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: public to come out and you know, get to see 18 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys and what they'll look like. In twenty 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 3: twenty three, I was out of town for a wedding, 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 3: but you were there, so I want to go to 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 3: you first. 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 4: What stood out to you about Sat Well, it was. 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 5: A great crowd, there was a lot of energy. Micah 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 5: was still destroying every day in the offensive backfield. But 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 5: what stood out was negative and that was the atrocious 26 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 5: field goal kicking. So in the session, Yeah, it was 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 5: really bad and cost one of the younger players here 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 5: his his job as Tristan Viscayino was released yesterday and 29 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 5: Brandon Aubrey has won the open kicking competition for now. 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 5: We're going to talk more about that as we go along. 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 5: But missing five out of six between the two kickers, 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 5: that was a real negative. But some of the young 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 5: guys that still continue to stand out. Jalen Brooks, the 34 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 5: rookie receiver, just another outstanding Yeah, I loved it. Y Yeah, 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 5: just doing well. Mazzie showing off his strength that was 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 5: really good. And then young guys like John Stevens and 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 5: the light So Deuce Vawn is obviously the fan favorite 38 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 5: of camp, so all the fans here cheering his name. 39 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 5: So there were a lot of positives. It was just 40 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 5: kind of a pall over the whole day just because 41 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 5: of the negative kicking situation that day. 42 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 4: Let's start there. 43 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 3: Because it's it's interesting to me this is the second 44 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: straight year where the Cowboys have had an issue with 45 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: the kicking, and you've obviously been at this facility several times. 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: Is there something about kicking here at this field that 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: affects them or what is it about struggling to win 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: a kicking job here. 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 5: It is a little more difficult here because we don't 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 5: always feel it at field level, but it gets breezy 51 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 5: and so if your field goals are higher than the 52 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 5: wind can play with it. But these missus couldn't really 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 5: be blamed. 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: Trying to give a little bit when. 55 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 5: Was off the right, up right, and that others weren't 56 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 5: really close. And it's really bad when you're getting anks 57 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 5: cheer from the fans when you finally make the final one. 58 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 5: But I think it's just so similar to last year 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 5: where you had two relatively unproven guys, one definitely unproven. 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 4: Just a reminder. 61 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 5: When we opened training camp last year, the two kickers 62 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 5: were the rookie from Texas Tech, Jonathan Garabe, and then 63 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 5: Laram Hyra Law who who had kicked in the CFL 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 5: and was a journeyman and had been with us some 65 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 5: NFL camps and had been with the Cowboys previously. But yeah, 66 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 5: and then they ended up signing Brett Maher on August 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 5: ninth after a workout because it was not going well 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 5: between the two more untested guys. 69 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: But I think what's. 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 5: Different this year is they want Brandon Aubrey to have 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 5: as many kicking opportunities as possible, not just in the 72 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 5: preseason games not having to share those, but even here 73 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 5: at camp sharing those reps. So I know a lot 74 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 5: of fans are thinking, oh, they're going to bring in 75 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 5: a veteran right away, and I really see it more 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 5: as they're going to give Aubrey a chance to prove 77 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 5: himself through the remainder of at least this portion of 78 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 5: camp and certainly in the preseason games. And while I 79 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 5: know that anytime we're watching a football game, we're not 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 5: rooting for the offense to stall in the red zone 81 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 5: or stall when they get, you know, in the plus forty, 82 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 5: but seeing extra field goal opportunities and also seeing how 83 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 5: Aubrey does on the kickoffs I think is important during preseason. 84 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: I agree. I think it's challenging. 85 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: I mean, and I know it's the nature of the job, 86 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: right everybody's here trying to win a spot, whether it's 87 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: a starting spot, whether it's a roster spot, special teams, 88 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: whatever it is. But to your point, it is challenging 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: when you're kicking, and you know, you only get so 90 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 3: many kicking opportunities here at practice and then in games 91 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: are limited. So I think it'll be good for Brandon 92 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: to you know, kind of hone in on being the 93 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: guy at least for right now. Give him that experience 94 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: to you know, get a feel for what it's like 95 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: to be the start of kicker. And something that I 96 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: didn't know about him. I looked into his stats a 97 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: little bit more yesterday. He was fantastic in the USFL. 98 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: He missed one field goal, was perfect on all his pats, 99 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: So I'm sure that was music to Jerry jones ears, 100 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: especially after last season. So yeah, I think he brings 101 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: a lot to the table. 102 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 5: And it's really the word of Chris Boniol that carries 103 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 5: the weight. 104 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 4: And No. 105 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 5: Fossil said that he'd been John Fossil, the Cowboys special 106 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 5: teams coordinator. They've been following him through very intently through 107 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 5: probably the midpoint of the USFL season, I believe, he said. 108 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: But I mean it's an inspiring story, a hometown guy 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 5: that would be great. But I'd like to share one 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 5: statistic that I think is super super important because in 111 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 5: a league like the NFL, where the talent is pretty even, yeah, 112 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 5: you know across the board, maybe not at certain positions, 113 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 5: but you know, through all thirty two teams, but it's 114 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: a razor thin margin, and it's usually just a few 115 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 5: analytic plays that determine the outcome of the game. 116 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 4: Last year, in particular. 117 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 5: The margins were razor thin. So last season throughout the NFL, 118 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 5: how many games do you suppose were determined by three 119 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 5: points or less? The year before it was twenty three percent. Okay, 120 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: last year it was higher. I was going to say, 121 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: I would guess thirty twenty seven. Yeah, yeah, that's a 122 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 5: little high. Twenty seven Actually if by seven points or less. 123 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 5: It was actually fifty two percent, so one score games 124 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 5: eight points, eight points would be one score, right with 125 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 5: a two point conversion, so fifty eight percent. So when 126 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 5: you have twenty seven percent of games decided by three 127 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 5: points or less, Interestingly, the Cowboys only had two games 128 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 5: that were decided by three points or less. One of 129 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 5: those was the overtime loss at Jacksonville. Yep, I'm sorry, 130 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 5: that was six points. It was the loss at Green 131 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 5: Bay that you know, just shows you what it can 132 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 5: be the difference between making the playoffs. It can be 133 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 5: the difference between winning your division or continuing on in 134 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 5: the play Absolutely. 135 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting to how Jerry kind of 136 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: backed everything that we're talking about. You know, how he 137 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: gets involved in the little media scrums after practice, but 138 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: he kind of said that yesterday you said, you know, 139 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: we're leaning more towards sticking with the younger guys. We 140 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: want to give Brandon an opportunity. So I'm excited. I'm 141 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: excited for him as the soccer the resident soccer player 142 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: for the Dallas Cowboys. I'm really excited to pick his 143 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: brain and kind of talk about his soccer background and 144 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: getting drafted and playing in the MLS. I think is 145 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: really exciting to it just makes it more of an 146 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 3: interesting character. 147 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 5: Well, I asked him yesterday, I said, is there an 148 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 5: analogy between kicking a field goal and a penalty kick 149 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 5: in soccer? 150 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 4: And he's like, yeah, you know. 151 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 5: It's just you and the ball and the target, and 152 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,559 Speaker 5: maybe when you're just by yourself kicking off the little 153 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 5: tripod thing, but when you have three hundred pound men 154 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 5: coming at you, a little different. 155 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 156 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 5: Two hundred pound guys flying off the wing and trying 157 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: to block it. Plus the operation, you have one point 158 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 5: eight seconds for that's kind of this goal for an 159 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 5: NFL operation, one point eight seconds from the time it snapped, 160 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: when time Brian Anger catches it, places the ball and 161 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 5: win the foot strikes. So it's like that much faster 162 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 5: and just three tenths of a second means that the 163 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 5: guy has enough time to come around the edge and 164 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 5: make the block. 165 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, and as. 166 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 5: Great as he did in the USFL, I think some 167 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 5: of that speed coming around the corner might be a 168 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 5: little higher in the NFL. 169 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: A little different for sure, But we are excited for 170 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 3: Brandon Aubrey. Let's wrap up this first block kind of 171 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: continuing on that trend with some of the younger guys. 172 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: Mike has mentioned over and over and over again that 173 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: the blend of old and new is going to be 174 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: imperative for this season, especially when you have a lot 175 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: of younger players who are going to be asked to 176 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: do a lot more than what they probably are expecting. 177 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 3: So you mentioned a couple of guys from Saturday scrimmage 178 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 3: that stood out to you recapping that game. Demarvin overshown 179 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: as a guy who jumped out to me, had those 180 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: two interceptions one that into practice. 181 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: What have you seen out of him? 182 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: And you know, kind of how do you see him 183 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: fitting into this team? Is he a special teams guy 184 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 3: or do you think he has a shot on the d. 185 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 5: Oh he will have to play special teams if I'm sure, 186 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 5: unless there's some kind of injury, you know, third round pick, 187 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 5: he'll be on the fifty three men roster and he 188 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 5: has played well here at training camp. But it is 189 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 5: interesting to see the way that dan Quinn is using him. 190 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 5: He's not playing necessarily that traditional linebacker role. They're having 191 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: him matchup there with the tight ends. And I'd love 192 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 5: for you to talk about your trip to Art, Texas 193 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 5: and if you haven't seen it yet on dallascowboys dot com, 194 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: Haley put together a great package of demarve on. It 195 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 5: was the day before leaving for camp. It was so 196 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 5: when I first saw that we drafted to Marbion. He's 197 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 5: a player who I'm a Texas fan. I'm not afraid 198 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 5: to say that out loud. 199 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: So seeing that we were able to get a long 200 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: horn on the roster, it was really exciting for me. 201 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: I didn't know much about to Marbion except for you know, 202 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 3: when we drafted him and his thank you video was 203 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: him and a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, the whole garb, 204 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: the whole get up, and so then getting to talk 205 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 3: to him kind of looking into his story more, I'm like, Oh, 206 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 3: he's a small town kid. 207 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 4: I'm a small town kid. We can connect over that. 208 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: So when he came in for Rookie Minnie Camp, I 209 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: pulled him off to the side and just kind of 210 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: was chatting, getting to know him, asking about his small 211 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: town roots, and out of nowhere, I just said, can 212 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: we come to your hometown? And I think it kind 213 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 3: of caught him off guard a little bit. He's like, 214 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: come to my hometown. I was said, Yeah, I would 215 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: love for people to understand, you know, the the analogy 216 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: of him being a cowboy growing up his whole life, 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: and then he goes to a school like Texas where 218 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: their mascot is a longhorn and agriculture is very big there, 219 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: and then gets drafted to the t that he's grown up, 220 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 3: watching grown up, loving his whole life. So we ended 221 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: up running a little short on time. We scheduled the 222 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: interview day for Saturday before we left for training camp. 223 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 3: So essentially it was the Saturday before he was going 224 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 3: to drive up to Frisco to then fly out here, 225 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: but we got up really early. It was me, two 226 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: of our awesome people on the creative team. We had 227 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: our writer Nick Harris come out with us and we 228 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: just spent the day in ARP and it was really really. 229 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 4: Empowering, I think is the best way to describe it. 230 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: To see, you know, his roots, to see why he 231 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: is so polished when we get a chance to speak 232 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: to him, why he is so caring, why he is 233 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 3: so giving. He's surrounded by a community that wants nothing 234 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 3: more than to see him be successful and has had 235 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: a hand in him being successful. And to have a 236 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: player as young as Overshown is to recognize that it 237 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 3: takes a village for him to be here and all 238 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: he wants is to give back to that community, to 239 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 3: let people know who ARP is. It was really humbling. 240 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: It was really exciting getting to meet his family and 241 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 3: meet his horses. I'm terrified of horses, by the way, 242 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: I want to put that out there. So he did 243 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: well in the video, so just well, he helped out 244 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: a lot, you know, just the introducing me to his 245 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: culture and how he grew up and all of that. 246 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: It was really exciting and I'm just glad that everybody 247 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 3: gets an opportunity to see that side of him. 248 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 5: And he's an awesome football player and great family. What 249 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: four generations of the family there. Yeah, to see them 250 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 5: all together and they're so proud. Yeah, he's so proud 251 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 5: of them and representing his hometowns. 252 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely a pride thing. And you can tell, 253 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: like everywhere he went. It was so funny. We hopped 254 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: in his car and he was kind of just giving 255 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: us a tour of ARP. He was pointing out different things, 256 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: and the one constant was he drives a big green 257 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: pickup truck, like bright electric, lime green. 258 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: And every time we. 259 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: Would drive by somebody, you would see them wave and 260 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: he would do the wave. We pulled into the downtown 261 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: and he'd wave. We were at his high school and 262 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: all these kids kept coming up to do their workouts 263 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: and just getting to see him before he left. I 264 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: think that's a really important part of being a football player, 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 3: and especially in this year or this generation. 266 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: I just saw it as something with that pickup I 267 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 5: think you should do it next year, but add in 268 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 5: some carpool karaoke since James yet. 269 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: Yeah it would have been fun. 270 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, I definitely, Like I said, I was really 271 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: humbled and really honored that he allowed us into a 272 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: space that you know, we know how we are with 273 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 3: our families.

Do you think he should and maybe I 332 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 5: should get it out there and then we could be 333 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 5: at the game together on game days. 334 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: No. 335 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and Jenny Durban, you know they do a great job. 336 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 5: DCR and B. I know you've done a lot of 337 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 5: events with them this summer. But the drum line really 338 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 5: helps bring the spirit. So we hope everybody comes out 339 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: and helps, you know, see if they can be part 340 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 5: of that crew. Yeah, definitely an organization that if I 341 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 5: was a little bit more musically inclined or dancing inclined, 342 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 5: I would be a part of it. 343 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: But I'm not. I like to talk about football, which 344 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 4: is why we're here. 345 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: Let's get into game week because obviously there's a new 346 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 3: energy I guess at practice this week with them prepping 347 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: for a game as opposed to you going through progressions. 348 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy told us yesterday they're hoping to get through 349 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 3: install seven and eight by Wednesday so that they can 350 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: put a bow on it and be ready to play 351 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 3: for Jacksonville. But there are a couple of changes, and 352 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 3: the first one I kind of wanted to talk about that. 353 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 3: Our producer Chris Bean mentioned, is the NFL referees being 354 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 3: out here. We saw some laundry on the field yesterday 355 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 3: at practice. Hopefully we get that address before Saturday. But 356 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: if you could just kind of explain the importance or 357 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: the significance I guess of having those NFL referees. Sure, well, 358 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 3: the Cowboys have officials at every single practice, whether it's OTAs, 359 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: but they're normally local college or high school officials, mostly 360 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: college officials, but it's very common. The league has done 361 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 3: this for many years now. Well, they will take the 362 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 3: crews and send them to each of the NFL camps. 363 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 3: They'll be there for two to three days. So this 364 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: week the Cowboys have Sean Smith referee Sean Smith's crew, 365 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 3: And it's not just to be here at practice. What 366 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: they do is they do a presentation to the entire team. 367 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: There's a video that is updated every year by the 368 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: NFL that goes over specific rule changes, and then the 369 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 3: officials answer any questions that the players have and then 370 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 3: even more importantly, speaking with the coaches because the coaches 371 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: what they want to know is how things are going 372 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 3: to be called, what the officials are looking for so 373 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: that the coaches can incorporate it into their teaching. 374 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 5: That's the really important thing. The coaches want consistency. How 375 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 5: do you expect things to be called? Another thing Haley 376 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 5: is there are points of emphasis every year, so it 377 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 5: may not be a rule change, but you're going to 378 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 5: see a lot of flat in preseason or early in 379 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: the season because they're trying to emphasize things. I think 380 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 5: a lot of people know about the fair catch rule 381 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 5: change that you can fair catch between the end zone 382 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 5: and the twenty five yard line and the ball will 383 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 5: be placed at the twenty five instead of the twenty 384 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 5: the college rule. But another thing this year is launching. 385 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 5: In the past, launching would be leaving your feet and 386 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 5: hitting someone head for literally launching into a player, think 387 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 5: of a defender, you know, maybe a linebacker, hit a safety, 388 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 5: hitting a tight end or a wide receiver coming across. 389 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 5: In the past, that was defined as leaving both feet. 390 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 5: This year you can do it off of one foot 391 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 5: and now it's considered launching. Another rule change, and this 392 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 5: doesn't really apply to the Cowboys as much. Think more 393 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 5: of these RPO teams or like Jalen Hurts in his 394 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 5: handoffs with the Eagles. Now there's more of an emphasis. 395 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 5: They're making sure that the handoffs are behind, not parallel 396 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 5: or in front. 397 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 4: Of the quarterback. 398 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 5: So that would be important for again, maybe other offenses 399 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 5: around the league. Less so with the Cowboys, but still so. 400 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 5: The one thing that I'm disappointed in is this is 401 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 5: the second year that the officials have not been made 402 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 5: available to the media at training camp. In the past, 403 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 5: they would always make a presentation to the media after practice. 404 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 5: We would watch the same video that's shown to the players. 405 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 5: We could ask any questions that we had, but I'm 406 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 5: not sure why, but this is the second year in 407 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 5: a row that we haven't been able to do that, 408 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 5: and I just wish they would so that because it's 409 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 5: the it's the reporters that are or the game day 410 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 5: commentators that are shaping the that are giving the information 411 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 5: and shaping the perception of the public. And so if 412 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 5: the announcers don't get it right, then the public is 413 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 5: being missing formed or maybe not. You know, the NFL 414 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 5: isn't getting the benefit of the doubt because you know, 415 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 5: we're misinterpreting something. 416 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's officiating, I feel like is hard or 417 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: just I guess the understanding of officiating is difficult because 418 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 3: it's it's up to interpretation ref by ref you know, 419 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 3: like some refs allow a little more, some ref it 420 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: shouldn't be, but that's human nature, and so it would 421 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 3: be nice to just kind of have a baseline, you know, 422 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 3: for us to kind of understand that and move forward. 423 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 4: But we don't get that opportunity. 424 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 5: Well, for everyone who complains about officials, I'll post the question, Hayley, 425 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 5: you're going to represent, Okay, the fandom here, Okay, on 426 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 5: a grade of zero to one hundred, what do you 427 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 5: think would be a normal rating for an official during 428 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 5: a game? They're graded for every single play. Okay, so 429 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 5: maybe about one hundred and sixty plays in a game, 430 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 5: including special teams. So the judge who's behind the safeties, 431 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 5: who's way down the field, he's getting judged, even if 432 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 5: it's a handoff to a full back for a one 433 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 5: yard game. But the mechanics of everything, what do you 434 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 5: think the zero to one hundred and A being ninety 435 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 5: to one hundred, a B being eighty to eighty nine, 436 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 5: so forth, what is the number for the average referee 437 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 5: for the that is the goal, that's the average for 438 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 5: all the officials. 439 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 4: The general side of me wants to say a B. 440 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 5: So in the eighties maybe upper eighties. 441 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say mid eighties. 442 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 5: Oh, mid eighties, you'd be on like double secret probation. Okay, 443 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 5: it's in the mid to high nineties, which I know 444 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 5: what because you've watched games and there are a few, 445 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: at least a few what you think are egregious and 446 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 5: sometimes you know the egregious ones they're pointed out. But yeah, 447 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 5: it's usually about ninety six to ninety eight is a score. 448 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 5: And so if you were, if you were in the eighties, 449 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 5: that would be grounds for removal. Well, I think only 450 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 5: one official is actually not has been related to their 451 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 5: duties during the season for something like that. But yeah, 452 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 5: it's actually in the mid to high nineties. So we 453 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 5: need to give credit. 454 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: Work, give them grace, to give them grace in terms 455 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 3: of Mike McCarthy now because they know the conversation this 456 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: season has been he's calling the plays, he's converted it 457 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: to this West Coast style of offense with some of 458 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: these rule changes. How does that, in your opinion, affect 459 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy's roll or affect how they're running the office. 460 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 5: It shouldn't. It shouldn't at all. No, none at all, 461 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 5: not at all. And the other thing is the rules 462 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 5: apply evenly for all thirty two teams, so you know 463 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 5: the same system, similar things that are run around the league. 464 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: So no, it shouldn't. 465 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 5: I think it's just more like the the defenders again 466 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: one foot and some of the other rule changes. Let's see, 467 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 5: there are things with tie breakers. We know about the 468 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 5: Umberts change right with now zero is allowed. 469 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: Not on this team, though not on this I've had 470 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: a lot of people ask questions about if de Marvin 471 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: Overshown is going to get to wear that number zero 472 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 3: and keep the agent zero and then Mike yeah, mikeh 473 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: and Jay Ron were going back and forth about wearing it. 474 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 4: Uh, we won't. 475 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 3: We won't see launching, we won't see any zeros on 476 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 3: this team. 477 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 5: The but the it will be interesting to see with 478 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 5: the fair catch rule, how the Cowboys are going to 479 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 5: play that because one of the goals of preseason is 480 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,239 Speaker 5: evaluating the young players, and so the guys who are 481 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 5: kind of on the margin there, the thing is, uh, 482 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 5: they're going to have to play special teams, and so 483 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 5: you want to be able to see if they're able 484 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 5: to effectively cover kicks, and then of course the other 485 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 5: team they you know, you want to see them on 486 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 5: kick returns. So will there be anybody taking fair care 487 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 5: between then twenty five and twenty because you want to 488 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 5: see coverage? 489 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 490 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 3: I remember when that rule first came out, the question 491 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: was how it was going to affect Cavante Turpin. You know, 492 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 3: are we going to get to see those electric returns 493 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: that we got to see last year from him? But 494 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: he's also been a guy that I've been very pleasantly 495 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 3: surprised with. So I am not concerned, not one bit 496 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 3: about Cavante fitting on this team. 497 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 5: He has had a very solid camp at receiver. And 498 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 5: it's not just the jet sweep or it looks like 499 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 5: it's a He had specific packages last year that he 500 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 5: was involved in, and we don't get they're not showing 501 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 5: everything at camp. They're certainly not going to show everything 502 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 5: in the preseason game. But safe to say it will 503 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 5: be more expanded opportunities for Cavante Turpin this year. 504 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I've been very, very very impressed with him. 505 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 3: We've got a few more minutes here in the second block. 506 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 3: Let's dive into the offensive line a little bit because 507 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: we still haven't seen Zach Martin. I'm not sure if 508 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 3: we will at this point in California, we're running out 509 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 3: of time. But the positives that Mike McCarthy has talked 510 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: about is that, you know, it's given a lot of 511 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: players an opportunity to see time and giving them an 512 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: opportunity to continue to shift around figure out who works 513 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 3: best there. One of the things Mike did mention yesterday 514 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 3: is that they're still working on the run blocking. But 515 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 3: just from your vantage point this offensive line, what do 516 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 3: you think we can expect on Saturday. 517 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you can see the young guys. I you know, 518 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 5: I would obviously no Terrence Steele is he's still working back. 519 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 5: Probably no Tyron Smith. 520 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 4: I don't. I wouldn't play Tyler be Otdish. 521 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 5: So I think we'll see a lot of Matt Farniac 522 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 5: and brock Hoffman and then Alec Lindstrom. But you know, 523 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 5: let's see what Josh Ball does in a preseason game. 524 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 5: He's the one that's been playing right guard in place 525 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 5: of Zach Martin first team, you know, and Edoga, who 526 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 5: was signed in free agency, will likely start at left tackle. 527 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 5: Awesome Richard has been playing backup guard, so we'll see 528 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 5: a lot of him, Matt Willetsko, who we hadn't seen 529 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 5: a lot of. So these are really golden opportunities for 530 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 5: these guys, who in particular are you looking forward? Let 531 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 5: me ask you first, would you play Tyler Smith in 532 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 5: the preseason this year? 533 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 4: See I am under. 534 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 3: My thought process with the preseason is I don't want 535 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 3: my starters playing the whole game, obviously, because that's ridiculous, 536 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 3: but I would like to see some, you know, a 537 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 3: little bit of what we can expect from the roster. 538 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't mind seeing Tyler Smith. In fact, I 539 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 3: would like it at least for a series or two, 540 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: just to kind of get a feel of what to expect, 541 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 3: and to also have a little bit of support in 542 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 3: an offensive line that has a lot of moving parts. 543 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: I know it's preseason, but the best way, in my opinion, 544 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 3: to prepare for that is to be as consistent as possible. 545 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: So I would like to see Tyler Smith. 546 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 3: I'm okay with Tyrone resting a little bit, I'm okay 547 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 3: with some of those other change, but I'm mostly looking 548 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 3: forward to the return of Zach Martin. Hopefully It's been 549 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 3: kind of disappointing that we haven't seen him out here 550 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 3: and it feels like there's no emotion. And so I 551 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 3: think that's my biggest concern going into the season. 552 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 5: What it was it seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars 553 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 5: now the way five thousand dollars a day. 554 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, the way I equated it was every day that 555 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 3: Zach is not here, he has purchased a very nice 556 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 3: luxury car. 557 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 4: Yes, and that is an insane thing to me to 558 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 4: think about. 559 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 5: When then, Jerry Jones did speak with media after practice 560 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 5: yesterday coming off the field and said, you know, basically, 561 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 5: they're treating it as if you know, it's not here. 562 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 5: It's as if a player's injured and not here and 563 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 5: you have to move forward. And so he said publicly 564 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 5: what you know, you know some of us have been hearing. 565 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 5: But I'm surprised, frankly, because I remember the first the 566 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 5: girls boys talk that we did just a few days 567 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 5: to camp. Said I'm not worried because you know, you'll 568 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 5: miss you know, maybe four or five days and then 569 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 5: be out here and here we are worried, yes, but 570 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 5: you know. 571 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 4: Great opportunities. 572 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 5: Let's see what Josh Ball, you know, does in the 573 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 5: game and see if he can put on the field 574 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 5: in preseason what we've seen so far on the practice field. 575 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agreed. 576 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: Nothing like an opportunity like this to really kind of 577 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: solidify your spot. So we'll shake you there for Zach Martin, 578 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 3: but we'll see what the rest of that offensive line 579 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: looks like. Let's go ahead and take our second break, 580 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 3: but when we come back on Girls Talk, Boys Talk, 581 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: we'll dive in a little bit more about this matchup 582 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: with the Jaguars and who we are looking forward to 583 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 3: seeing on the field on Saturday. 584 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 6: At Jigsaw Dating, we obviously want the Cowboys to bring 585 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 6: that sixth ring home, but to be honest, we're more 586 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 6: focused on finding the person who will put a ring 587 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 6: on your finger.

And then 667 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 5: of course Mollik ends up being a contributor towards the 668 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 5: end of the year last year, so that I can't 669 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 5: wait to see wide receiver and see if the Jalens 670 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 5: can can carry so many of them weeks and Tolbert, 671 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 5: you know, see if they can carry over to preseason 672 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 5: action what they put on the field here. So those 673 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 5: are a few that pop into mind. And I know 674 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 5: we talked earlier about duce Vaughn and Overshown, but who 675 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 5: are you looking at. I'm excited about the Jalens, and 676 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 5: I'm excited about all three of them, Tolbert Cropper and 677 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks. With Jalen Brooks, I've been very high on him, 678 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 5: you know, since we drafted him. I had a chance 679 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 5: to kind of talk to him off to the side 680 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 5: again at Rookie Minnie Camp, and Jalen Brooks is a 681 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 5: guy who is not unfamiliar to kind of carving his 682 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 5: own path in the new environment. He has been played, 683 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 5: i think at four different colleges throughout his career before 684 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 5: finally getting to South Carolina seventh round draft pick. But 685 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 5: I actually went back and watched my interview with him 686 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 5: the other day and I didn't notice it at the time, 687 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 5: but he is so on if that makes sense, gets it. 688 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 5: He understands his strengths, he understands what he brings to 689 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 5: the table. And I know a lot of players say, oh, 690 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 5: I'm versatile, right, but he knows what he's versatile at, 691 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 5: and you've seen it out here on the field. He's 692 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 5: made some of the best catches, I think, some contested 693 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 5: catches that have been really impressive. 694 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 4: We joked last week, I've. 695 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: Been calling him kind of a baby pony because I 696 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 3: think he's still kind of coming into his body a 697 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 3: little bit and just kind of refining those movements, getting 698 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 3: a little bit more into what it's like to be 699 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,959 Speaker 3: an NFL wide receiver. But I'm really excited for him. 700 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 3: But I'm also very proud of Jalen Tolbert because he 701 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 3: was very open and very honest about how last year 702 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 3: was a struggle for him and why it was a 703 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 3: struggle for him. He had a hard time connecting with 704 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, he had a hard time learning the playbook 705 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 3: coming from South Alabama, and so to know that he 706 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 3: was frustrated and wanted to be better last year, it 707 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 3: went into the off season, made it a priority to 708 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 3: get to know Dak, to spend time with him in 709 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 3: the backyard, to work with some of the other wide 710 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 3: receivers in the tight ends. This summer, you see all 711 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 3: of that now here on the practice field. So not 712 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 3: only am I excited for Jaylen Tolbert, but I'm really 713 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 3: proud of him as well. 714 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 4: And then Jalen. 715 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 3: Cropper is a guy who, if I'm honest, I didn't 716 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 3: really know much about him coming into camp, and after 717 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: day one of practice at camp, you almost had to 718 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 3: learn more about him because he's a fantastic kid. I 719 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,320 Speaker 3: actually chatted with his family yesterday in the hospitality suite 720 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 3: and their family is mostly forty nine Ers fans. They 721 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 3: have a couple of Cowboys fans in the family, and 722 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 3: so they were really excited. 723 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 4: But I was talking to his dad and he's like. 724 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the only way that we're going to 725 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 3: root for the Cowboys is for a situation like this. 726 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 4: So we're really happy. We're really excited for him to 727 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 4: be here. 728 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 3: But he's also a guy who's very speedy, very shifty, 729 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 3: and he's made some really. 730 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 4: Great catches as well. 731 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 3: He's done a lot of the CD where he's tried 732 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 3: to grab him one hand in. 733 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 4: I can't wait for him to bring one of them down. Yeah, 734 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 4: he's he has. 735 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 5: He has shown flashes here and that's that's what you 736 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 5: have to do as a rookie to you know, from 737 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 5: Fresno state by the way, so California. So they yeah, 738 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 5: from northern California. So and it is fun to see 739 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 5: the families here and to get to visit with them. 740 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 5: But yes, all three of those Jalen's you know, mature, 741 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 5: you know. And and to your point about Jalen Brooks start, 742 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 5: He's from outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, and began his 743 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,760 Speaker 5: college career at Wingate so and then comes to Texas 744 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,439 Speaker 5: to play at Tarleton State and then COVID wipes out 745 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 5: the season and then lands at and SEC school at 746 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 5: South Carolina. But so mature and well spoken. So yeah, 747 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 5: you that's the thing. We get to visit with these 748 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 5: young guys and you really pull for him. And the 749 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 5: good news is that the one of the positive things 750 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 5: that came out of COVID, even though it wiped out 751 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 5: a lot of college seasons, it guys an extra year 752 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 5: or two to stay in school. And these young guys 753 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 5: that are coming in really the last three seasons a 754 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 5: little bit older, not necessarily, I mean some are still 755 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 5: twenty one years old, but just just more mature, an 756 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 5: extra year or two in college to refine their skills. 757 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 5: Those who are in big programs, you know, with expansive 758 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 5: playbooks and the like. You know, So it's it's not 759 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 5: so overwhelming as some of these young small school guys 760 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 5: who have a more catching up to do. 761 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about Duce Vaughan too. It cracks me 762 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 3: up anytime he gets the ball. Because you mentioned he's 763 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 3: a fan favorite. The fans here have been calling him 764 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 3: the people's choice. 765 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so every time he. 766 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 3: Gets the ball, there's a specific group and they're always like, god, 767 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 3: dus Von, you're the people's choice. 768 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 4: But to me and I love Deuce. 769 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 3: I love how the Cowboys will hopefully incorporate him into 770 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 3: the off fence. But uh, as we've seen with the pads, 771 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 3: it's not going to be easy for him. I mean, 772 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 3: I think there was a video that went out yesterday 773 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 3: of him trying to block Demark. I guess Lawrence and 774 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 3: Tank just kind of like Scoop goodbye. 775 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're deuced, how do you fight through that? 776 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 3: How do you stay confident in knowing that you can 777 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 3: still contribute on the team. 778 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 5: Well, de Marcus Lawrence does that to a lot of people. Yes, 779 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 5: guys who were listed at five to six. Sometimes I 780 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 5: still don't believe that because it shouldn't be look an 781 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 5: eyed eye with a running back. But yeah, and it 782 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 5: doesn't matter what your your size is, you're still a 783 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 5: human speed bump when you're trying to pick up someone 784 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 5: rushing off the edge or coming right up the a gap. 785 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 5: But he just, I'll say what the coaches say, he 786 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 5: just has to use his leverage. Thing is he's already 787 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 5: he's hard for everyone to see it. Yeah, but you know, 788 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 5: at the same time, that also works to your advantage. 789 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 5: You know, what hurts you as a blocker can help 790 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 5: you because you hear the defenders saying, we we can't 791 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 5: he's hard to find. We can't see him, you know, 792 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 5: behind the behind the line. I joke I joked with 793 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 5: coach McCarthy yesterday and said, they need to bring back 794 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 5: the Landry shift, not just to kneel down in the 795 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 5: victory formation at the end, but when the lineman go 796 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 5: up and come back down. That's what they did under 797 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 5: Coach Landry and what it did when the lineman did that, 798 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 5: that's when Tony Dorsett would move pre snap and so 799 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 5: it basically was hiding the running backs in the formation 800 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 5: from the defense. So I'm not saying that McCarthy said, Oh, 801 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 5: that's a good idea. I'm not saying he's gonna use it. 802 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 4: But whatever he was, he was just humoring me. But 803 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 4: wouldn't that be hilarious, you know? 804 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 5: And then if you did it, they're like, oh, they're 805 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 5: gonna run it to Douce and then you just pop 806 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 5: pop it. 807 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 4: Over the top at that point. 808 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, it's it's tough. But the thing is, 809 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,919 Speaker 5: and I did talk with Jeff Blasco, the running backs coach, 810 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 5: about this because one thing that Mike McCarthy had said 811 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 5: in one of his early press conferences here at camp 812 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 5: was some of the changes with his offense, it has 813 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 5: to do with the past protection of the tied ends 814 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 5: and the running backs.
