Age 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.200 is catching up to you mid season four. Age just 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.000 catching up to you. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.480 All right, Sorry, here's we're gonna do today. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.039 We got to talk about some injury updates. Patricks can 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.959 give us an update on Tyler Smith. Let just so 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.199 everyone knows, at this current moment, Mike McCarthy is also 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.080 talking to the media, So we've got our trustee, our 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:53.280 trusted reporters, Nick Eatman, Nick Harris that are also in 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.840 that press conference. They'll be giving us some updates as well. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.360 So Patrick may at some point revised whatever he says 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.320 at this point with regards to the injury status of 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.360 a few players. Let's talk first about Tyler Smith. What 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.560 do we know based on what we'd known yesterday about 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.000 his MRI. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.320 Well, it looks as if based on yesterday, it's being 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.960 described as a hamstring strain. But like brought Us said 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.440 before we came online, that's no different from what the 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.400 Cowboys their diagnosis was on Monday when he exited practice, 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.800 So that kind of falls in line with what Jerry 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.760 was saying on Tuesday when he spoke one to five 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.880 point three of him the fan and saying that as 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.760 of yesterday he didn't have any concern about Tyler Smith's 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.760 availability for Sunday night. We'll see if that changes here 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.560 in real time when McCarthy starts speaking, and if so, 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.160 then we'll update you guys before the show was over. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.200 Sam Williams obviously no change there as well as we 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.040 know it prior to McCarthy speaking and prior to practice 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.680 getting underway within the next hour, so he's. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:49.640 Dealing with the turf toe. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.600 There's optimism there, but not nearly as much as you'd 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.200 see probably from Tyler Smith and then from there. Donovan Wilson, 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.720 no change in what we know from yesterday. But today 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.919 is going to be one of the bigger days for him. 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.640 This is where the Cowboys really kick things up in practice. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.240 So let's see if he's still on the cords as 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.160 he was on Monday, or if he takes part in 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.160 even individual drills, which would be a step forward for him. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.480 Yeah, I guess that we will find out today on 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.120 all three of those guys, because they will be back 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.359 out of practice. We'll start seeing a little bit more 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.240 of how they're moving and probably get more of an 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.119 update on how they're progressing throughout the week heading into 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.400 this first game, Let's start turning the page to the Giants, 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:30.720 and we're going to talk about the Giants here in 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.960 the second segment, Brian's going to give us a scouting notebook. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.320 We're going to talk today specifically about the Cowboys offense 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.040 versus the Giants defense. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.360 But before we do that, I'd like to at least 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.440 lay out four. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.440 Fans what we think are the biggest storylines for the 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.240 Cowboys heading into this week one game against the Giants 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.920 on Sunday Night Football. I'd like to go around the 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.000 table in each of you, I'd like you to give 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.280 me what you think is the biggest storyline for the 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.840 Cowboys heading into this game. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:55.800 Let's start with you Patrick. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.480 Can Dak Prescott continue his winning against the Giants? 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.400 I think too. I think yeah. He's up to ten 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:03.920 games now. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.080 He has not lost a game against the Giants since 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.640 twenty sixteen, his rookie season, And if you talk to 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.160 Dak Prescott after those after he defeated the Giants last year, 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.800 he kind of alluded to using the two losses against 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.360 the Giants in an otherwise stellar rookie season as motivation 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.920 to continue to beat up on them as much as possible. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.080 So he's got the twos to do it. To say 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.839 the least, yesterday we talked about Deuce Vom Brandon Cooks. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.479 You have versatility in Hunter Limpke, and you know the 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.160 tight end room and how tight ends usually dominate at 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.720 MetLife Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys. So for me, the 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.880 question mark is as we try to find out if 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.520 this Cowboys offense can met serve and doing so, can 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.880 Dak Prescott extend a ten game win streak to an 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.000 eleven game win streak, which would give them a very 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.040 nice leg up going into or going into Week one 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.920 or Week two, I should say, because they will have 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.479 not only going to want to know, but at the 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.240 expense of a division rival. So I want to see 0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.480 if he can stretch ten to eleven. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.840 The big question for me going in will be, and 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.839 I feel like, is has the offensive turnover at coaching 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.960 on the coaching staff. Is that going to make a difference. 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.159 Are we going to initially see this offense, is it 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.719 going to come out blazing or is it going to 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.360 come out struggling, and I don't think it has anything 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.240 to do with what's going on in the preseason with 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.039 playing the players or not playing the players. I think 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.480 Mike McCarthy again him getting back on the horse, is 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.200 the primary play caller. But there's a lot of turnover. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.119 There was turnover at running back, there was turnover at quarterback. Coach, 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.240 there was turnover on the offensive line. You know, here 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.360 we are, we're in the situation now we're in the 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.039 regular season. I know they had three preseason games to 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.360 try and iron some things out, but things come fast 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.600 and furious during the games. Is the coordination there with 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.599 the offense. Is the play caller, the OC everybody on 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.880 the same page in order to put these offensive players 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.919 in the best position to succeed. I feel like the 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.960 defense will be ready to go. The uestions I have 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.800 will be the offensive staff. Can they come out of 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.000 the gate with it blazing? 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.160 I mean, I think we're all on the same stuff. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.280 I'm trying, don't try. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.920 I think we're all on the same page as far 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.040 as that. Because we haven't seen this team come together 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.680 and play a game just yet. The question for me 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:26.000 is is can this team be better than last year. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.520 And everything we've seen at training can, for me, in 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.479 my opinion, indicates that it very well can. But we 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:38.160 know how elusive or how training cap magic happens, and 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.279 you're not necessarily always seeing what you think you're seeing, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.360 and then the season starts and then you start seeing, Okay, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.440 these are the holes, these are their weaknesses and all that. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.080 So I think, like Brian just presented, just everything coming along, 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.719 I'm not necessarily scared or concern about the Giants and 0:06:55.800 --> 0:07:00.520 we'll break them down and famous last words. But but 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:08.120 historically speaking, given the past years, the Giants haven't necessarily 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.400 been a huge threat for the Cowboys, So on that aspect, 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.120 that doesn't concern me so much. It concerns me can 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.120 they all come together as we think they can? So 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.000 super excited and Mike McCarthy, he's being very very protective 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.640 of this week and just covering everything and nobody's gonna 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.240 see anything and this is top secret because no one 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.360 has seen anything happen yet, so hopefully he puts on 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:36.720 a show this weekend. 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:38.480 Yeah, it's interesting, Brian. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.200 You mentioned all the turnover and all the change, and 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.880 it does make me wonder if we get into this 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.920 game and the offense starts slow. I know you said 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.440 you wouldn't blame too much on what happened in the preseason, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.040 but is it fair to say, because there's been so 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.480 much change and turnover, change the personnel, play call or 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.360 all those things, if it is a slow start for 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.680 the offense, maybe the fact that they didn't play the 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.239 preseason could be a reason why. 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.840 You know, I from my former background of being in 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:14.960 player personnel, I disdained the games, the preseason games. At times, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.040 there were five games. If you played in the Hall 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.320 of Fame game, you talk about holding your breath sitting 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.560 there watching games like please get up, Please get up. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.480 You know, and we saw what happened to overshown, and 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.840 you know, and there's a primary piece of a you know, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.440 a player that even though he was a rookie, I 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.240 had a plan for him, and I don't right now 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.360 have a suitable backup for him. I don't think I do. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.240 But it's so hard for me. I understand. The reason 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.240 why I'm taking the approach of I've not I don't 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.880 really care about preseason football for your starters is the 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.160 fact that I felt like there's not a better defense 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.840 than they could have gone against. I'm talking about the offense. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.720 You know, there was a reason why maybe Mike McCarthey 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.920 doesn't like to work against the Rams or the Chargers 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.640 or Seattle, you know. I mean, he played the preseason games, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.200 he kind of figured out some things about some of 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.560 his backup guys. I don't think we all knew that TJ. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.600 Bass could play as well as he did, but three 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.240 preseason games he earned his letter jacket. He played a 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.599 ton of snaps, you know, with the way, and you 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.240 learned about Awesome Richards along the way, you learned about 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.200 Juan Yea Thomas along the way. I'm good with that. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.320 That helps me going forward when I'm building my fifty three. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.000 But the fact that I got to work against I 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.679 couldn't block MICHAEH. Parsons, you know, but I knew that 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.040 was going to be a problem. But the times I 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.320 did block Michael Parsons, Hey, look, it's a positive play. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.640 I just kind of feel like those Tuesday Wednesday padded 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:51.079 practices probably got them more work than eight to ten 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:56.760 plays against Seattle or Jacksonville or the Raiders. That's kind 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.560 of how I would rather take that scripted type of 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.520 practice is and get that work. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.360 I wasn't keeping up with anybody else's preseason, but just 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.520 out of curiosity, do you guys know. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.120 Andy Reid, Andy Reid, well not withheld Andy will play 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:12.680 as guys. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.199 Yeah, But like I'm just curious as to like how 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.200 many other teams did the same as the Cowboys of 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.959 just keeping their starters out. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.079 There's there's a few, like the Rams are a team. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.640 I mean, there's coaches, some of these young coaches. I 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.360 know with Andy. Andy's the flip. Andy, You'll say, well, Andy, 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.360 they won the Super Bowl. They play, But a lot 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.160 of it has to do with the health of your team. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.120 You know, Zach Martin was not in camp for the 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.360 majority of it, you know, until we got back to Dallas. Basically, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.200 you know, if you're asking me to put Dak Prescott 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.240 out there with the unknown offensive line just so we 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.920 could get five, six, seven snaps, I don't find that 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.960 very sensible, not at all. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:51.120 Not. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.120 All I need is all I need is awesome Richards 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.640 to bust on a play and then Dak get hit 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.480 that part they do. You know, in a this they're 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.640 not going to hit Dak, but in a game, they're 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.800 going to light him up. If they get the chance. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.040 We saw what happened to Tony Romo in a game 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.280 in Seattle. You know, Dak's I almost said freshman year, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.760 first year in the league. You know, I mean that 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.800 those are the things that happen when you play guys. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.199 Yeah, I'm right there with you, and I've been an 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.200 advocate for sitting these guys, these starters for the entirety 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.720 of the preseason for that reason, and then eloquently put 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.000 by broadest when you talk about who they were going 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.720 up against, who this offense was going up against daily 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.240 in training camp, for me, the only scrimmage that you 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.600 could have held that would have been an equivalent of 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.640 what they were going up against in practice anyway, would 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.760 have been either against the forty nine ers who would 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.319 have had to have Nick Bosa and they didn't because 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.959 he's holding out, or the Philadelphia Eagles defense. 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:51.640 With the starters playing. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.640 If it's not one of those two, I had no 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.480 interest in scrimmaging against those those kinds of defenses because 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.000 if you look at what we saw every single day 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.320 and Oxner, the level of competition for this offense in 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.640 Trevon digg Stell, find Gilmore and Michael Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.160 the list goes on, and all I'm Alik Hooker, j 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:14.040 Ron Curse. What benefit would you have gained from playing 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.160 them in a preseason game? 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:15.680 The offense? 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.000 I mean, because the only thing that you're doing is 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.280 risking them unnecessarily against defenses that aren't as good as 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.080 the defense you're gonna go practice against anyway. So I 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.320 saw all of that to say, I was all out, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.439 and I'm glad that Mike McCarthy and the staff chose 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.000 to sit Dak Prescott for all of those reasons and 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.960 the additional reason though Zach Martin wasn't there and Tyler 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.480 Smith and Tyron Smith. Smith is still working for chemistry. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.720 But then if you played Dak, you gotta play Tyron. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.920 But then if you play Tyron, then you're risking Tyron Smith, 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.360 who has had injury issues in the past every single 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.320 year for nearly the past you know, most of the 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.559 past decade, is. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:50.360 Just not worth it. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.240 So for those that are wondering, well, what if they 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.800 come in and have rushed, my question being contextually thinking, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.520 what would make you believe that they would have rust 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.719 against a New York Giants defense that's not nearly as 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.000 good as the Cowboys defense they win against every single day. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.720 Well, I'll tell you this, I personally think both things 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.600 can be true. I think there is a real possibility 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.079 they get into this game and it doesn't flow as 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.560 smoothly offensively to start the game and maybe even throughout 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:17.920 the game. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.840 I think that's the nature. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.880 Of you've got a new play caller, You've got a 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.800 lot of new parts. I think that is very, very realistic. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.800 I also agree that you don't necessarily need to play 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.880 your starters in the preseason because, by the way, you're 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.520 not gonna be doing all the things you're gonna be 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.040 doing in Week one in the preseason, So it's not 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.160 like you're really gaining an advantage because you're gonna just 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.120 run out there and do some vanilla stuff and get 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.360 your starters off the field. That's not really getting them 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.359 ready to be able to operate an efficiency. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:44.560 So I think both things can be true. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:45.559 I do expect that the. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.240 Offense will probably get better as the season goes along 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.079 because mich McCarthy will start figuring out a little. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.040 Bit more like what am I doing? 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:52.320 Right? 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:53.079 I mean, what am I doing? 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.319 My personnel They're going to start figuring out morell We 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.680 know what Mike likes to do in these situations, so 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.960 it makes sense Dak's gonna have a little more autonomy 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.320 this year. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.360 According to reports. If that's true again, as season goes. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.280 On, he will get better and he will get more depth, 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.000 and the rest of the offense will know, like Dak 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.520 likes to do these things in these situations. So it's 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.800 going to get better as the season goes along. There's 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.680 a real possibility it won't look great at the first 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.960 In the first game, because that's just the MAGA football. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.720 Two years ago against Tampa looked great even though they 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.080 couldn't run the ball. Dak lit them up. You know, 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.000 Tampa was not I mean that was But then last 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.040 year again the rematch in Dallas, Dak and the offense 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.400 did not look great. So you're you're kind of caught 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.800 in between. I only I do agree with you about 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.800 there's advantages and disadvantages of this. But to me, the 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:45.400 fact that I have a healthy offense going in well 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.400 with the exception of what's happened with Tyler Smith, but 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.680 overall I'm pretty healthy going into this game. Uh And 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.640 you know, and so we'll see how that. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.800 Plays honestly, I think more so than them playing or 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:02.280 not during the p seasons, something that I think will 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.720 be very beneficial and that was a really cool opportunity 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.280 was just having Dak calling plays in that last game 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:14.920 against the Raiders, right, and just them working together because 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.480 most of the time it was Mike McCarthy alongside with 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.960 Dak next to him, and that rarely ever happens. So 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:27.760 I think them working alongside, going through plays, okay, letting Dak, 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.200 seeing what Dak would call in certain situations, and just 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.960 kind of getting the feel of more of that what 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.880 he's thinking, what the quarterback is thinking versus Mike McCarthy, 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.000 and then hopefully examining after, you know, getting back in 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.480 the building and just going through things together. And I 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.240 think that just it's a whole different perspective that I 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:52.080 think was and can be very beneficial for their relationship 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.600 and what they can be doing in the offenses. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.240 Yeah, well, Greer probably wishes he called plays all three games, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.080 just the last one, you know, because Will Greer, you know, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.960 now practice squad with the Bengals spend Will Greer looked 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.160 the best he's looked all camp in that final game 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.440 against the Raiders. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.080 All right, we're gonna take our first break. We will 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.440 come back and we'll get into the Scouts notebook. Brian's 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.800 gonna break down the Dallas offense versus the Giants defense. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.160 Will do we We'll do that when we come back. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.800 Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.040 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.000 cheatah Savannah.
