You didn't stop, No, 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.479 just to maybe rest, No, not even just. 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.760 Get gassed, put your head down, yes, just get gassed. 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.119 And then on Sunday or Saturday. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.680 Saturday, you drove all the way back, watching on and 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.720 off the game. And so I could have something to 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.440 say about the players. But I did stop Saturday night 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.760 and got some sleep for a couple of hours. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:39.400 Hi. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.000 I made to hanging with the boys back in Dallas too. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.240 You did five?

She I told her 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.880 to send me some pictures, right, yeah, send me some 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.280 pictures of you. Of you. Oh, I'm tired. I'm just 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.520 send a picture of your face. And she did. Man, 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.280 she had these ugly rings under eyes. I'm like, wow, babes, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.160 I just say, you know what, my wife ain't sleeping. 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.720 Let me go home, and then Thursday night should get 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.080 good rest, Friday night should get good rest. Then I 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:13.639 shoot out. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.519 But the rest of us. By the way, we flew 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.880 back to Dallas on Friday. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:21.880 I bet that was a long trip. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:28.560 And then Saturday watch the game that started four pm. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.520 Cowboys lose to Jacksonville twenty eight to twenty three. And 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:38.840 that's inconsequential. And we left at and T Stadium right. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.840 After what time round? What time was that? 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:48.399 It was about nine maybe Central Arizona. We were supposed 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.400 to get back here, so we had to go through 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.720 security at DFW Okay for the charter site. We land 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.679 at Lax. We had to drive the hour or so 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.000 at night from Lax to here in Oxnard, and the 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:12.320 projected arrival time for us was midnight here here, And 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.600 when the buses pulled in to the residents here in Oxnard, 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.239 my watch said twelve zero zero. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.280 Wow. Sweet, how about that? 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.160 That's sweet. So at least we were able to stick 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.760 to somebody's schedule, that's right. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.400 And the Cowboys players had Sunday off. I think a 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.920 bunch of them took it off, yes, And I think 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.560 a bunch of them didn't even come back here since 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.760 they were already in La at that time. And here 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.000 we are, so we got mix shots on Monday Wednesday. 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.080 This week, the Cowboys have a walkthrough practice today that 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.520 is open to the public. The last two padded practices 0:03:54.600 --> 0:04:00.360 will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday's a walkthrough and is 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.600 not going to be open to the general public. And 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:08.840 we leave on Friday for Jackson for Seattle for the 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.320 preseason game there and then head. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.880 Home, heading home, being back to Dallas. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.080 Back to that's right, yes, home home. Yes, this has 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.159 been home for a month. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:24.159 So we got to see a preseason game finally, full 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:30.520 football since they kind of played football here in practice practice. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.200 So your just overall take on you know what took 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.680 place Saturday in the preseason. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:42.680 Game, and I'll give you my offensive and defensive take 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:49.960 is that okay? Yes, Defensively, I have not seen that 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.120 type of speed. What I saw, especially in the first 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:59.200 preseason game. What I saw from the linebackers and from 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:07.200 Marquise Bell was just flat out guys running, hustling, making plays. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.640 It's been a long time since you've seen a young guy. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:16.719 And number thirty three and number thirty five, these guys 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:21.800 were running overshown and number thirty three is Clark. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:22.680 Clark. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:28.880 These guys can flat out run, and just the speed 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.880 of it, that's what that would impress me. Defensively, offensively, 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.600 I saw some good things. I saw some nice things, 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.680 and I saw I'm kind of just sitting in the 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.559 middle on our offense hoping that this next preseason game 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.800 would show me a little bit more. I saw hope. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.000 But I also said, also, I had too many anxious moments. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.039 When I have anxious moments, then I mean I need 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.400 to look at it a second time. And I haven't 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.000 had a chance to look at the film a second time. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.000 Because I gotta go find look at it right. 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.919 So, and and we should point out that the Cowboys 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.559 sat twenty five players, yes, twenty six if you count 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:16.360 the president who wasn't playing, So the majority of their starters, Uh, 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:23.400 there was really only seven guys. Yeah, seven guys that 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:28.760 were playing in more than their fourth NFL game. Two 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.719 of them were the deep snapper and the holder. And 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.120 then you had to play some quarterbacks, so Cooper Rush. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.799 So that's three of those seven. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.840 So they really didn't play many veterans guys at all. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:49.839 And so it showed. I think it showed mostly on offense. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.760 So you got to take that stuff kind of with 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.360 a grain assault when you try to evaluate. Now, Jacksonville 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.680 played their starters for two series and then they were out. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:07.760 The Cowboys did not play, you know, starters throughout the game. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.840 Obviously sat a bunch of guys. So look, don't worry 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:18.640 about the result, right, that's inconsequential. You worry about individual 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:25.200 performances and how different guys play or didn't play well enough. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.920 And if you look at it, I think the one 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.720 thing that McCarthy might have been has to focus on 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.920 is ball security. Can't turn the ball over, right, especially 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.920 you're trying to make this team, and if you look 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:46.160 at it, turnovers contributed fifteen points in this game. Eight 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:51.400 when Turpin fumbled the punt set up Jacksonville at the 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.240 Cowboys forty two, so they had a short field. And 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.200 then Donnal, after a really nice catch and run down 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.040 inside the five yard line, fumbles the ball at the 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.840 one yard line. That's seven points there. You're going to 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.800 score a touchdown. Chances are if you hold on to 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.280 the football. So they lose by five, but they, you know, 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.720 squandered fifteen points along in my books along the way. 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.480 So you know, the other thing I think we have 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.360 to look at, Nate is this is the first time 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.800 a lot of these guys played football like a whole game. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.240 Because they're playing a lot of guys that were on 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.199 the practice squad last year that hadn't played an NFL game. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.320 I mean, take Will Greer, when's the last time he 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.920 played a full game? Yeah, last trading camp, right last preseason. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:47.560 So well I looked at the offensive line and Josh 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.560 Ball starts at right guard. Yes, he played all of 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.880 forty one snaps last year, so he did most of 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.080 the season watching. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.840 Well, let's go was on injured reserve. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:06.079 Act was placed on injured reserve October twenty sixth. Brock Hoffman, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.040 who started at center on the practice squad the hall year. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.880 The guy that played the most football last year of 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.080 the starting five on the offensive line was Awesome Richards, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.320 because he was in college, starting at North Carolina. So 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.719 when you look at that first group that played the 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.280 whole first half the offensive line, that's the first time 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.080 a lot of these guys played football. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.120 Yeah. And the thing that and I'll go back to 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.280 the points. The reason we're bringing up the points because 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.600 we don't worry about the score, and we really don't, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:42.360 you know, no one should. But when you have turnovers, 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.120 that's why we brought up the score because you had 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:50.400 because in the regular season, you don't need turnovers, especially 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.080 inside your own their red zone, so it's easy for 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.280 them to score. So that's why we bring out the points. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.640 But I'm with you, a lot of these guys got 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:04.560 they first opportunity to really get uh, get some real 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.320 ball in and I was so happy when they started 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.840 their starters because what that is, what that does is 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.079 gives the guys a truer look. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.520 Of what they might be facing. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.520 Yeah. So now you can get you get a better 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.720 athlete that's more confident in the scheme that they runs, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.600 so they're running it a little bit faster. When you're 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.040 going against rookies and everybody's trying to fill out those 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.480 first few series, you may not get a fast player. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.160 But we got their first team defense in their first 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.280 team offense, and we got faster players. So that made 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.719 you That made you raise your level of playoff if 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.360 you can. So that that was good. And they held 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.120 their own I mean they did not get blowed up, 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.559 and some players had some blow up situations, but as 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.080 a team, they did not fall apart, and that was 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:55.839 good to see. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.760 Yeah, and we need to, you know, go further and say, okay, 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.080 now what do you do yes week? Right, because chances 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.679 are those young guys in the offensive line that are 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.120 basically battling for backup spots, Yes, sir, Yeah, Now they've 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.120 got a game under their belt and we'll see what 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:18.560 happens when they go to Seattle. You know, if you 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.959 evaluated the offensive line the first group that played, there 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.800 were some good things and then there was some not 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.559 so good whoa what are you doing there? 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.320 Like guys got lost. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.480 There was a couple of plays where I saw Richards 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.280 it was like what are you doing? 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:36.000 Uh? 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:41.120 And it's like he was confused. And so I think 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:42.080 a lot. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:48.120 Of it wasn't just inability. It was not recognizing what 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.600 you have to do. And that's got to be difficult 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.800 when you haven't played at this level in so long. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:59.280 The thing that I always get guys is you has 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.360 hesitation shows the lack of confidence. And when you have 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.520 lack of confidence, and if some of the wording, the 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:11.319 verbiage is close, that runs together. You did on display, 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.240 this protection means this. On this play, this protection means this, 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.760 and it all starts to run together with the possibility 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.800 of three different defenses that you're gonna face. So if 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.959 you kind of have concentrating on the play, you may 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.280 not see the scheme when it changed, so you don't 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.720 make the right move. I saw one time the right 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.800 guard went right and everybody else was going left, and 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.960 then he made this. He made his adjustment, but the 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.880 tackle he was by hisself, so they wind up on 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.080 one guy in the linebacker ran free. So you see 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.559 all that confusion, and now the coach is saying, Okay, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.400 my tackle did right. My guard didn't do so good 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.280 on this play right here, we can we can adjust that. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.520 But now the running back saying, wow, but I got 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.839 kipt for no gain or a minimal minimal gain, So 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.880 it can be. But we didn't have a three or 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.520 four of those plays on the offensive line where guys 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.400 was just totally confused and it hurt the whole team 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.160 like you had other times when it was confused and 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.120 it didn't hurt the team a lot of times. You know, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.920 I go right and you go left. But the play 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.240 we was fortunate to play was outside the other way, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.600 so me going the wrong way didn't hurt us right, 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.640 So we saw a little bit of that. But I 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.600 talked to coach Mike Celari and he just lived because 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.760 he we changed just simple things like we changed practice 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:36.680 by us not going today full pass and Tuesday full 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.559 pass and then Wednesday off like they thought it's been 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.920 moved back a day. So he's livid about that because 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.400 he had things he wanted to get while the game 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.840 was fresh on their mind. He didn't want to walk through. 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:54.160 He needed to get guys going, and so he just believed, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.360 like I believe that the only way you can get 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.520 offensive line going is to work them physically as well 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.800 as mentally. You know, you can get it all on 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.520 the board and you can write it all down, but 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.160 I need to get you going at least seventy five 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.360 miles an hour here physically so you can see it 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:12.080 moving faster. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:17.800 And I think it'll be interesting to see. So we 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.960 didn't get a chance to talk to Mike McCarthy yesterday. 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.160 We talked to him today. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.160 I believe it's n nine point fifteen his press conference, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.920 So he's moved everything up, so it sounds like what 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.240 he's trying to do is get the guys off their. 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.680 Feet a little bit more. 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.520 So they're going to start the practice early so they 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.920 have a longer day before tomorrow they get the pads on. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:46.280 And he was pretty honest after the game, and I'll 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.680 give you just one example. He said after the game, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.000 Josh Ball came up to him and said, well, coach, 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:51.640 what did you think? 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.320 How did I do? 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.920 And McCarthy's answer was, well, I was kind of busy 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.520 with another job, meaning I didn't get a chance to 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.800 really watch on falling plays. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:02.080 Right. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.040 Uh So now that they've they've got a chance to 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.600 go over the film all day Sunday, it'll be interesting 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.200 to see what his evaluation is and the coach's evaluation 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.360 of what took place during the game. I think that 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.080 you know, from the quarterback standpoint, Will Grier hadn't played 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.640 in a in a in a in a game, if 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.440 I'm not if I'm not mistaken, since last preseason. Yeah, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.280 it took him a while, I think to start seeing things, uh, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.320 to adjust to the speed of the game. And then 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.640 I think we saw after he took over for Cooper 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.760 Rush that the second half he kind of settled down 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.160 and start hitting some passes. He's got a bunch of passes. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.800 I'm sure he wanted back, uh, And there were a 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.880 couple of well I'm throwing this, and what's the wide 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:52.600 receiver doing? 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.360 And there was young wide receivers. 0:15:54.520 --> 0:16:01.960 Yeah, And that is why I believe practice has to 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:08.400 be taking so and I'm not sitting, please don't miss Sam. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.600 This is what I believe that practice has to be 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:16.360 even more important than the preseason game. I just really 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.640 believe that when you have these opportunities as backup guys, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.240 I mean true back, cause Will Grill was hurt and 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.120 he was truly the thirteen quarterback, right, so you have 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.000 to really be focused. You have to really kind of 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.400 come out here and do extra. Uh, the the days 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.200 of I'll get my reps that is over, that has 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.120 been over maybe ten fifteen years. You now you have 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.920 to find a group of guys where you say, hey, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.720 fell let's go out and get some get some throws. Right, 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:50.120 Let's let's get something extra. Because the time that is 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:54.000 allotted for veterans is only eleven hours a day. Yes, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.920 so you you gonna have to find time on your own. 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.200 And it can't be Da going to hit guys. He's 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.680 gotta be Will Grill finding him a group of guys 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.919 or Cooper Rush finding him a group of guys and 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.000 throwing to his guys because, uh, time is so limited, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:15.560 like even for us, we you don't get a chance 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.520 to see the second group of guys because like we're 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.879 watching film and we didn't get a chance to see 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.640 the TJ. Bastes of the world or the other other 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:29.520 guys were so concentrating on on Richards. Uh we loscow. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.280 I did find out that my boy some questions was 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:39.000 answering on my boy froniac. His arms are just too 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.600 short mate to play guard. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:41.960 I think the center. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:48.200 Yeah, he's but see that affects us because now if 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.280 he could play a litt bit of guard, now we can, 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.840 we can we get a lot of positions somewhere else. 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.800 But now we gotta If we put him at the 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.120 backup center, that means we got to find a backup 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.320 guard as well as a backup swing tackle. 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.320 Butt out last year when he had to start those 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:04.080 two games. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.440 Yeah he did, Okay, he did all right, But. 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.119 Again take into a count that that's his first football 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.439 that he's played in a game since they put him 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.760 on I R about halfway through the season. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:21.040 Yeah, and I and I'm with you, but still you 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.719 have to start and and and I'm not judging him 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:30.360 on this one game, but the film is being. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.040 Watched, right, I got. 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.000 And I don't want to and I don't want to 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.239 say he can't play guard, but I'm saying from what 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.439 I seen by the first team of the other team, right, 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.800 he wasn't He wasn't mentally ready to so. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.920 And and the other thing we need to point out 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:51.440 is if if he's the game day uh center, backup 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.760 center guard, then you only got to get through a game. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.080 What you have to do is find somebody that can 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:02.480 play full time guard. If something happens, or if Zach 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.800 Martin doesn't get back in time for the start of 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:11.280 the season. They I saw some people tweeting out. Do 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.360 I have to say tweeting out or xing out? 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.480 Now? I don't know. I'm not intoday anyway. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:22.520 Questions about do they need to get a veteran offensive lineman, Well, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.760 that's what they signed Truman a dooga for and he's 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.439 out and I've been told that he's got a bone 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.040 bruise on his knee. It wasn't something after they did 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.800 the MRI, so it shouldn't be a too long thing. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:37.160 Now. 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.879 I'm not saying he's the answer because he certainly hasn't 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.840 impressed me during the practice sessions. 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:52.000 You know, I watched Richards and he played left tackle. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.600 He did not play bad at all in my estimate. Well, 0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:59.360 he did not play bad. 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.320 At most of the last week or so he's been 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.320 in practice. He's been playing. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:05.879 Guard, yes, but he played. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:10.040 He shows up at left tackle and he gave up 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:10.520 a sack. 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.880 But the quarterback held the ball right and we had pressure. 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.000 He did his job. He ran the guy around the horn, 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.920 all the way around the horn. He took three steps 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.320 after he got him around the horn and the guy 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.600 just looks up and here's a quarterback. Then backed up 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.959 four or five yards because we had a rush up 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.440 the middle that flushed him. At first he was gonna 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.280 step up, but then we had a rush from the 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.119 right side that flushed him, and and and he was 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.080 right there. So ain't nothing you can do after you 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.000 run the guy around the horn and you take you 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:44.240 two or three steps to secure it. So I'm thinking, awesome, 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:49.760 Riches played nice. I think with Losco, I think he 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.919 played nice. And you and and when you see this 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:58.080 from your tackles, because between the guy that you mentioned, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.600 your dogga and these two guys those we gotta find 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:03.600 the swing tap. Gotta be one of them. Gotta be 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.560 one of these guys. So it's gonna be a great competition. 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:10.600 And I promise you when we get out of Dallas, 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.960 we won't be doing the show together. But after this 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.960 second preseason game, we can't sit up and we ain't 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.000 gonna have a luxury to say it was the first 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:23.520 preseason game. We're gonna have to either be saying, these guys, 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.440 this is your guy, he looks like you're guy, or 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.520 we'll be just ready to discuss well, when. 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.879 We talk about the backup tackle spot. 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.120 You know what Nate's saying is basically a game day 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:40.560 backup because if anything goes wrong, Tyler, Tyler Smith's your your. 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.400 Full time, full time back up. Yeah. 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.359 So then again it's the guard position that they gotta 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.520 concentrate on. All Right, We're gonna take a short break 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.600 here on Mick Shots, and now we'll start going over 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:56.560 some individual performances, because there was a few individual performances 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.399 that you put a five star on. I thought for 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:05.879 a first preseason game that next on Mixshots, I'm. 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:09.040 Douk Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
