Cowboys lose their first preseason game thirteen to twelve, 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.480 the Rams scoring the only touchdown of the game with 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.120 four seconds to go, as the Cowboys had been leading 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.000 twelve to six and it looked like they had it 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:50.640 wrapped up, and then they gave up a seventy yard 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:58.960 drive for a touchdown after only after having held the 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.480 Rams to just like two hundred and thirty six yards 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.080 and then gave up seventy. So we're gonna get impressions 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:12.040 here of what everybody thought of the game. And again 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.760 I'm gonna start off with saying the way Mike McCarthy 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:22.160 coached the game, his priority was to get as many 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.440 snaps as he could for his young team. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:26.600 If he was. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.160 Trying to win the game, he probably wouldn't have gone 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.799 for five fourth downs. They only made two of them, 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:38.840 and a couple times, well three times, he could have 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.239 kicked a field goal if he wanted to. I don't 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.120 think he thought that was important. The Cowboys sat twenty 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.959 five veteran mostly starters. They didn't play the Rams didn't 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.960 play their first line guys either, But he got a 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.640 heck of a lot of snaps for his young team, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.800 seventy by the way, and I think that was And 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.639 if you noticed how he was calling plays on offense, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.480 they were almost felt like they were in a hurry 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.400 up offense because they were getting in and out of 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.880 the huddle really fast. So they could run a bunch 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:21.040 of plays. So you know, my impression was defense did 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.519 a nice job until the last drive. Offense moved the ball, 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:30.080 they just didn't score touchdowns. And Brandon Aubrey was good 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.160 as always. Shame on him for missing from sixty five yards, 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.560 but hit four other field goals. And we'll discuss Trey 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.080 Lance here at length. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.920 So Nate, what were your thoughts. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.880 I just like what the guys did. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.400 They did a lot of good things individually, you know, 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.000 offense line, you know, they got to work on the games. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.600 That's natural this early in the preseason. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.680 Guys was doing some good things technique. We saw a 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.000 series He's of guiding and which was pretty good. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.800 Once again, got to work on technique. I like what 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:07.720 the defense did. 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.360 I looked at you know, I had certain guys that 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.200 I was looking to grade heavily because these are core 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.440 guys I think will beat future core guys. I like 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.760 how Mazy started the game, hands popping, doing what he 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.240 had to do. I like how Marshawn Neveland did what 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.800 he had to do. So just guys that I felt 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:35.200 like had to start the game strong. My man, oh 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.280 seventy six, I can't think of his name. Richards, two 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.480 different centers, three different guards. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:43.599 I think he played well. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.160 I mean, now, the games were a little bit funky 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.400 there every now and then, but I think just as 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.440 a whole, he played pretty well. He was pretty consistent 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.960 what he was doing. Number ninety showed up late, but 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.520 he showed up late. About ninety four of the rams 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.800 he showed up during the game. But that was called 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.800 all because of games being on different levels. And when 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.040 you got two different guard, i mean, two different centers, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:11.000 three different tackles, you're gonna have mix up. So that 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.400 didn't shake me at all either in the last drive 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.080 of the game. Don't matter to me. I'm just a 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.000 going I am looking at individual players. I learned a 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.440 valuable lesson. Coach Johnson came in and I think we 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.240 went three and one in the preseason then, and we 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.840 thought we were hot. Oh we thought we feed the 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.560 light of the league. The first game we almost we 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.599 got beat so bad too. It took us like eight 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.040 games to recover because that was what one in seven. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.400 So that'll let you know if you worried about a 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.920 preseason game, get a life, Savannah. 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.560 You know, my eyes were on the defense a lot 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.600 of the time, and I think that goes to show. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.480 I mean, four interceptions yesterday was a really big day 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:51.960 for the defense, but that was the first day that 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.200 we're seeing the implementation of Mike Zimmer's scheme. And I 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.799 also read earlier today that he wasn't even necessarily using 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.440 his call sheet that much, like he was call and 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.440 plays based off of the live action, and that's just 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.440 how you know, like you know, twenty years he comes 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.680 back to the Cowboys and he just has that old 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.440 school mentality on defense. But I liked seeing some of 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.960 these younger guys on defense. Marquise Bell, he had so 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.400 much more ability to have free play and that moved 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.880 He's in the position he's supposed to be playing in, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.320 So that's that's a benefit for us there. Demarbian Overshown, 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.919 Are you kidding me? He came out right out of 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.200 the gate, just ready to go, and you could see, 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.240 even since we didn't have him last season, just how 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.800 excited he was to be out there. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.080 He got his nerves out. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.640 But he came in hot. I love seeing that. And 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.600 then Julius Wood he had an interception. I saw him 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.599 do it two days ago in practice, and just I 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.599 like seeing that consistency. As far as he's doing it 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.760 out here, he's doing it live in the game. So 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.360 those younger guys stepping up on defense, I really love 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:57.840 seeing that. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.280 You know, speaking of Wood, the safeties are really they've 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.679 got pretty much depth at safety if you think about 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:11.360 behind the starters of Donovan Wilson and Malie Cooker Bell 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.400 and Janie Thomas, good players, and then some of these 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.560 young guys are stepping up. So you know, they all 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.280 can't make the team, but it might be a pretty 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:28.600 talented practice squad. Having said that, so let's get right 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.960 to Trey Lance. I want to give you let you 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:36.040 guys give your impressions on it. I was at the game. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.000 I saw a lot, but I just wanted to see 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.160 what you guys thought. And I know you had to 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.680 watch it on television. So Nate, I'll let you start first, right, 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:47.320 I will. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.000 Pass it with will of fortune. Missivanna, you go first. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.280 They want to throw it on me and press it on, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:56.119 I'll go first. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.400 I'm going to tag team. What you said the other 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.880 day on the show about Trey Lance. You said just 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.920 a couple of days ago that you think that he 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:08.720 needs another year development time, And I'm kind of behind 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.880 you with this and with Trey Lance yesterday. I think 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.000 he did a decent job, but I think that was 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.920 his first game where we're really getting to see maybe 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.280 what he can do. He didn't look too comfortable. If 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.600 you ask me, I do like his ability to scramble. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.600 He led yesterday in rushing yards forty four yards on 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.440 six carries. I like him scrambling. He was good in 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.040 that area. But I think when it comes to completing 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.720 some of those passes and gaining that confidence, that's something 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.600 he's going to have to work on. I also think 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.120 he needs to probably tune out the noise going into 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.880 this game on Saturday. Don't worry about what everyone else 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.840 is saying right now, focus on the game, Focus with coach, 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.440 get with Dak, really know what you're going into. I 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.839 think that's what his focus needs to be for some 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:01.880 cause he has a lot to showcase. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.000 If you ask me, you know, I just believe this 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.640 right here. I think what you saw this game, you'll see. 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.640 A better better next game because the coach, you understand 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.880 what he needs to do, and he will understand a 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.480 little bit better what he needs to do. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.880 He should get out early, doing before practice and maybe 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.719 out of practice and throw a few balls. Just go 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.360 out and believe it or not. Get the receivers, and 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.160 don't try to think about it. Just throw the ball. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.400 Just throw the ball. You got natural talent, you know, 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.120 but he spends a lot of time thinking, you know, 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.560 trying to make it perfect. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.720 Don't worry about it, man, Just get out here with 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.040 these guys. Just throw the ball. 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.040 Just like when you was a little kid, you got 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.000 out in the street and just throw the ball. Get 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.280 out there and just throw the ball. I'm not gonna 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.880 judge this kid about this game or maybe even the 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.640 next game, because I truly believe. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.680 In my heart that if given the time, given the 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.520 right and proper instructions of what we do within this offense, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:04.600 he'll be all right. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.000 Will he be ready to take Cooper's job? Not right now, 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.640 But let's see about the third game. Do we have 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.960 the same feelings for this kid that you may have 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.040 had gonna coming into this game and may have had 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:15.920 leaving out his game. 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:17.000 I'm just. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.280 I've never been in his shoes, and I wouldn't want 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:22.160 to be in his shoes. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.520 Not to be a first round pick, third player pick. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.480 He gave up eight hundred draft picks for this kid, 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.559 and to throw them away within two years, that's a blow. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.320 And I'm not gonna keep riding on that. That's just 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:35.640 how I feel, and that's the way it. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.760 Is for me, So let's point this out. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.600 He ended up completing twenty five or forty one passes 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.880 for one hundred and eighty eight yards. He had six 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.319 runs for forty four yards. I thought what we saw 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.040 in the game was what we saw out here in practice. 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.920 Yes, he would do a few. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.080 Things and you're going huh, And then he'd do a 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.240 few things and you're going, Okay, there's something there. And 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.600 that's kind of what the game was like. He had 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.520 four drives of at least ten plays, so they were 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:15.160 moving the ball. They just didn't score touchdowns when he missed. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.640 And this is what we saw out here. His passes 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.480 were high. There was a couple of completions that were 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.080 high that some of the young receivers made nice catches. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.839 But let's remember who he was playing with. Also, as 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.520 Nate pointed out about the offensive line, they were mixing 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:37.559 and matching. They had to play Geiton. Now, he only 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.080 played a couple series. He was on a pitch count. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.240 Tuma Dogas suffers a big toe injury. He's walking around 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.000 with a boot. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:47.000 Afterwards. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.880 We'll see what the MRI does with him. He was 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.920 one of the few veteran guys that actually played in 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:55.360 the game. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.520 And then it was a mixture. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.439 Of awesome Richard Earl Bostik. They changed the center, they 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.920 changed they started TJ Bass at right guard. Uh So 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.560 it was a mixed match in there. And he was 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.400 playing with all the young receivers. He did not play 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.520 with Jayalen Tobert, he did not play with Brandon Cooks, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.200 so that factors in. But again, there was some good 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.240 things and then there's things that. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.280 They needed to be able to work on. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:32.240 As Mike McCarthy said, he's making good progress. They're definitely 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.680 wired the right way. He's a great athlete. We just 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.120 have a lot of work to do. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.920 This is the bottom line. Everybody has a miss mi Mitch, 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.840 what's the word. I'm gonna a mixture. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:54.680 Of players right in the preseason, Trey Lance would be 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.520 all right, well, you know, we don't have to make 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.360 not one excuse. This kid will either come up, come 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.760 up out of this spanning like Roses, or he'll be 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.320 buried six feet under I'm betting on the kid. If 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.360 we could just not have any pressure for him this year, 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:11.920 let him get into next year. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.839 We don't have to make no excuses, and if next 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.920 year don't bring what we need, then you don't have 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.520 to keep him. That's just the bottom line. Trey Lance 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.040 is going through what every quarterback is going through. That' say, backup, 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.600 you're gonna have eighteen different players, eighteen different wie receive 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.920 was seventeen different offensive linemen. That's the nature of the beast. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.760 But somehow, some way, we just gotta find a way 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.720 to get him comfortable to see if he can really play. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.239 That's the bottom line. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.560 And the game's gotta slow down for him. If you remember, 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.840 this is his first game of anything that he played 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.840 in since August nineteenth of twenty twenty three, so from 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.680 the time he got with the Cowboys didn't play in 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.720 any games. He hasn't played in a real game, meaning 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:05.280 a regular season game, since September eighteenth of twenty twenty two. So, 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.280 as Nate knows, and I'm sure Savannah realizes it, it 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.560 takes time when you haven't been in the pocket to 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:20.360 slow the game down. It's like, you know, Manhattan cong traffic, 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.120 congesting when you're trying to decipher what's going on in 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.360 a couple seconds. So I thought a few times he 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.600 didn't pull the trigger quick enough. A few times he 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.160 stared down his receivers. But other than that, if you 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.480 look at some of the drives, that his final drive, 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.360 when they drove down field, he was hitting his back 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.640 foot and the ball was coming out. He had four 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.960 consecutive completions during that drive, and I thought he did 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.080 a really good job. And it was like, Okay, I'm 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.720 seeing it. I'm seeing it, and it takes time. He 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.760 didn't play but seventeen games in college. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.280 You know it's okay. I was. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.240 If I was his guy, I would have said, you 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.800 need another year in college. He didn't play that much 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:14.840 in high school. And afterwards when I asked him, he 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.800 was walking off and I said, when's the last time 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.640 you threw forty one passes in a game? And he goes, oh, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.240 that's gotta been a while. Well, I went back and 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.120 looked it up. He didn't do it with San Francisco 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:32.480 regular season, preseason, and he didn't do it in college 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.080 that I checked out all the games he played, so 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.840 forty one passes that was a new thing for him. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.080 So also, I mean first half he was eight for 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.040 seventeen on completions. He came back better in the second half. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.840 He was seventeen for twenty four, right, And so you 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:53.200 definitely you see that he progressed a little bit towards 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.520 the second half. But like I said, he needs to 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.600 tune out the noise. We still have a game on Saturday. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.400 He needs to show up for that, and I think 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.600 when he gets a little bit more comfortable, we're gonna 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.800 see some more progression from it. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.720 And I think there's other things they can do with them, Nate, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.440 but Mike wanted to and Jerry Jones said it in 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.640 the pregame show. They wanted to see him in the pocket, 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.000 and so that was kind of the plays they called. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:23.280 McCarthy wanted the fourth and one at the three that 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.920 call back. He didn't like his call on that. That 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.360 one of the fourth downs that they didn't pick up. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.880 They could have kicked a field goal, right, But it 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.080 wasn't about kicking field goals. Brandon Aarbury did a nice 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.880 job with four of them missed from sixty five, which 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.960 is another indication that he wasn't playing the game to win. 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.480 He was playing the game to give guys opportunities to make. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:52.600 Plays, and so I haven't even looked. I'm sure people. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.640 Were hard on Trey Lance, but I thought he handled 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.480 himself well, got in and out of the huddle well, 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.520 and seemed like he was somewhat under control. Let's see 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.320 the next game after being able to play the number 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.720 of snaps he did, because they had seventy offensive snaps 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.280 and Cooper Rush only played six of them. 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.920 So he got a lot. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.440 The objective, the priority in this game was to give 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.320 him work, and he got work. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.760 Can we, real quick just give some credit to Cooper 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.800 Rush on that incredible pass to Jalen Brooks yesterday. He 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.159 I mean he came out, you know that first drive 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.520 and Cooper Rush. It was like we've seen Cooper Rush 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.000 do this time and time again. Love seeing him do that. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.359 And then that was a great catch by Jalen Brooks 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:43.720 as well. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:50.159 Okay, he liked it, right. I love preseason for what 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.280 it's worth and what it's supposed to be. Yeah, and 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.639 I tail fans all the time. When you listening to 0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:59.560 I wish you wouldn't even gave the score. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:01.600 I just wish you would have went right into the 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:06.919 show talking about these kids because it don't matter to me. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.879 And another thing really don't matter to me is about 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:11.520 Trey Lance. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.000 That's when you set me. I'm gonna say what I 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.239 say and then I'm done with it. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.320 Give this kid a true opportunity before we judge him. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.080 When you listen to these bobbling heads everybody over here 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.040 with their big time opinion, and. 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:28.880 I don't use this a lot. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.680 They don't know how to gather information, and half of 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.760 them don't know what they're looking at. So when you 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.560 hear from these people that want to give you all 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.959 these opinions, you know, so you can go out on 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:43.120 your broke down podcast to give your opinion, you don't 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.040 know what you're looking at. Give this kid opportunity. And 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.840 once once we get through this year, if he makes 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:54.359 the team again, which he should, then next year you'll. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.480 That's when that's when you can be critical. Right now, 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:58.520 just straight and play. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.240 And there's a mixed shot there for you from Nate 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.120 Newton as we'll continue here on mix shots on dallascowboys 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.680 dot com. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.560 Miller Lite is brewed with great taste and only great tape. 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.000 The Miller Brewing Company would like to issue a correction. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.000 Miller Lite is brewed to be less filling. 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:16.440 What are you doing here? 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:17.640 Miller Lite tastes great. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.400 Look, I'm just reading the script.

First 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:07.000 of all, as he pointed out, CD wouldn't have played 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.040 in the preseason game, so that didn't put any pressure 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:16.159 on him to get him signed immediately. He pointed out that, 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.719
