We've got some new hosts to 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.280 talk about as well. I'm Kyle Yeomans back here for 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.920 what is now going to be my fourth season on 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.080 Talking Cowboys, which is crazy for me to say, because 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.720 I still feel like the newbie sometimes around these parts. 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.440 We've got Nick Harris, who's going into season number one, 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.360 but you've been on the show a couple times before. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.840 We got Chris Beam in the back who's been here forever. 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.000 But I do want to welcome to the show for 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.280 the first time ever, mister John Machoda from the athletic. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:18.399 What's going on? 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.679 John not Man living the dream? 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.880 I don't know that there's anybody that loves coming out 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.680 here more than I do. You might love it as much, 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.440 but I don't know that anybody loves it more than 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:26.720 I do. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.679 What's your favorite part about being out here? 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.800 I should say the weather, but for me, it's really 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.560 the social media because the policies that they allow out 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.520 here are a lot better, so being able to post 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:44.120 videos and things like that, that's probably my actual favorite part. 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.640 But I mean, yeah, obviously this weather is incredible, and 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.720 I love that they come out here for that, but 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.560 I love the social media aspect. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.080 Is what year is this for you? 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:54.520 That's a good question. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.480 So I didn't get hired full time until twenty fourteen, 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.520 but I was coming out to camp. I started coming 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.560 out to camp in twenty eleven, but it was like 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.480 one of those things I was at the Dale's Morey News, yeah, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.400 where I would only come out for like maybe a week, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.000 and then after I obviously got hired full time, then 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.679 it was you know, the entire camp and every home 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:13.280 and road game. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.760 So every year since twenty fourteen, I'd say, yeah, that's awesome. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.640 Nick, So I mean, this is your first camp, first impression. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.000 So far, it's been fantastic. I will say the weather, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.840 it's fantastic. It's a much different, much different ray than 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.000 what we get in Dallas. But yeah, it's been fun 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.799 so far. Hasn't been short of any drama, and I 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.400 feel like I'm getting the full experience so far. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.040 That's the that's the tease of all teases. It hasn't 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.120 been short of drama already. We've got some things to 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.520 talk about but before so, I mean, this is a 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.480 bit of a switch up of course for those of 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.040 you who normally tune into Talking Cowboys. We will not 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.200 have Patrick Walker on the show this year, and he 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.800 makes the jump to the break and congrats to Pat 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.160 for that and really excited to see him continue to 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.400 grow in his role at Dallas Cowboys dot Com. We 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.799 still love Patrick and he's already told me today he 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.760 was like, I'm gonna pull a Nate Newton and just 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.200 pop in randomly, which is what ends up happening from 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.600 time to time when we're at the Star and I'm 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.800 sure Nate will probably do while we're out here as well. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.160 We will have Isaiah Standback on the show throughout training camp. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.280 He should get here this weekend, and so that'll be 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.400 a lot of fun going into next week. We'll have 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.080 John on for every episode during training camp, and then 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.440 of course Nick is on full time when we get 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.840 back as well. But I want to start with getting 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.240 to know you guys a little bit more. So I 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.760 want to a quick ten second resume, and then what 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.760 was the biggest thing you did this summer going into 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.320 training camp? Not football related? I want I want to 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.600 I want to know what John did this summer. 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.320 For me, probably the best thing was I went back 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.560 to Michigan. I'm from right outside Detroit Warren, Michigan, and 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.120 uh that's kind of the area where Eminem's from, and 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.960 so I was back up there and some friends wanted 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.840 to go to this at cheering concert at Forkfield, and 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.200 during the concert, Eminem came out and did a couple 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.400 of songs. So he hasn't toured in a while, and 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.080 I'm a big fan and that was a surprise. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.040 So I'd say, that's probably, you know, the coolest thing. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.440 And then when I got down here, though, I got 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.800 I got down here last Thursday, usually try and come 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.520 in a few days early, and went to an Angels game, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.720 So I saw Otani pitch and so that was that 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:07.400 was cool too. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.080 But yeah, big baseball guy. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.600 Uh, it's it's third. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.760 There's clearly like, like my favorite sport to play has 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.480 always been basketball, but the cover it's football, and it's 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.040 not even close. But football and basketball are the top two, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.800 but baseball is third, but there's a big drop off 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.440 to anything else. So there's kind of like that core three. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.440 But even if I wasn't a huge baseball fan of 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.960 just the whole Otani pitching and playing at a ridiculous level, 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.080 it's incredible that I just it's like kind of like 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.919 the Steph Curry thing, like I don't I is that 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.359 really going to change the game to where like you 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.080 never you know, all these guys are gonna start doing 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:45.400 You've got to be really good to be able to 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.480 do that. How many guys are gonna be able to 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.640 pitch and hit an elite level? So I just kind 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.960 of feel like it's a rare time for that. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.160 So it's a spectacle. That's that's the best way to 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:54.560 put him. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.480 Yeah, So and you're with the athletic now, you talked 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.720 about not being full time until tw twenty fourteen, how 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.320 did you kind of get into the business and how 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:03.080 did you end up. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.920 At the athletic so being I grew up a Detroit 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.760 sports fan and in uh I graduated high school two thousand, 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.599 but I didn't really know what I wanted to do 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:17.160 professionally after that. I actually went to community college and 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.000 got my associate's degree in law enforcement. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.159 I thought I was gonna be a police officer. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.800 And then when that was finishing up, the Pistons were 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.800 starting to roll and that's like three zero four to 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.840 oh five ish there, and I was like, I just 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.760 couldn't consume enough about the team, and I was like, man, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.920 that would be such a fun job to cover a team. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.919 And so I ended up going to Wayne State in Detroit, 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.800 and a lot of this stuff I got the community 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.839 college stuff didn't transfer over school wise, so it was 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.839 like starting over. So I was kind of behind. You know, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.680 your friends are all graduating at different times. But it 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.320 was the best decision I ever made, because my dream 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.440 was to cover like the Tigers, Allions or Pistons. I 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.640 never thought i'd get a chance to cover the Dallas Cowboys. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.400 So an editor of mine, when I was a freelance 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.760 at a Detroit Free Press. He got a job of 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.080 the Dallas Morning News, and so he called me one 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.360 day and was like, hey, if you're willing to come 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.240 down here, I don't have anything full time, but you 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:05.919 know I can find work for you for sure. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:06.720 And that was great. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.239 That was in twenty eleven and the Rangers were rolling 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.440 the MAVs obviously won the championship. You know, there's just 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.320 a lot of and then the Cowboys are always of interest. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.160 So I got to go out to Valley Ranch and 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.360 really was I always say it was like a drug, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.159 you know, Like I was like, I just want to 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.839 cover the cowboys, like I love to being around. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:23.960 I love the interest of it. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.479 And I was at that in my mind, I was like, 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.000 I'm just going to keep showing up until eventually somebody 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.919 hires me full time, you know. And that, thankfully to 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.239 Derek Eagleton d Elle's Cowboys. They offered me a job 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.719 to cover the team for the for the website. And 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.520 when that happened, the Dallasmore News was like, no, no, no, no, 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.160 we'll hire you full time hire and so that it 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.200 helped me obviously. So and then in twenty nineteen I 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.039 ended up going to the athletic and been having a 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:54.800 blast there ever since. 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.520 That's awesome and you do great work. I mean I've 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.040 always followed John, even whenever I was in small market radio. 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:02.880 I was on ESPN Central Texas. You were on our 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.159 morning show. Almost every week. I would hit up John. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.320 I'd be like, listen, John, I need you on the show. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.960 We got to get you some cowboys talk, so had 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.880 It's great to be able to kind of work with 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.040 you on air. We've worked behind the scenes quite a bit, 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.280 but on air is gonna be a whole new level. 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:18.880 And I think it's gonna be great for this show, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.040 and I'm excited about it. And then I'm excited to 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.640 see what Nick Harris has in store for us this year. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.000 I've told people, Yeah, I've told people this before, but 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.440 and Nick and I go back pretty far too, but 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.560 nobody has seen the swag that Nick Harris has yet. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.360 Like it's just barely scratching. Honestly, both of these guys. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.560 I'm looking at the shoes. Both of you guys got 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.320 great shoe game. But Nick, I mean, tell me what 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.239 you did this summer and what you're most looking forward 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.640 to going into this training camp. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.960 I would say my one highlight from the summer non 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.560 football related. Took a New York trip with one of 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.280 my roommates and I had a fantastic time out there. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.760 It was a couple of weeks and you know, watch 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.160 some baseball, went and saw the old Polo grounds where 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.800 it used to be. Now it's just a section eight 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.720 up complex, but it was cool to kind of take 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.960 in taking that aura, saw massive square garden, you know, 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.880 did all the New York things, and then uh caught 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:07.920 COVID on my way back. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.320 So it was it was a fantastic time. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.119 Obviously, and I had my wallet stolen, had my wallet 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.080 stolen out there too. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.320 It was just highlight. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:21.960 Was the highlight of my summer exactly, but never did 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.200 I was. I got my license. I had had to 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.320 request a new license. Unfortunately I got it the day 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.080 before the charter left, and if I didn't, it was 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.040 going to be we're going to figure out some things. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.079 But fortunately, exactly right, I was gonna be hiding in 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:34.640 your luggage. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.160 Yeah, I had an extra bag. I got screened, So yeah, 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.400 that wouldn't have worked out. That wouldn't have worked out 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.160 this time. But that's awesome, very nice. It was that 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.240 your first time going to New York. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:45.760 No, it wasn't, but it was my first time spending 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.360 that much time there and really soaking it in. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.880 So yeah, that's awesome. Yeah are you going back? Oh? 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.400 Absolutely absolutely? Yeah I had too much. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.679 Yeah, beamer is is, Yeah, you might have lost game one, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.640 maybe game two will go better for you, exactly. 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.920 It's it's gonna be funny though, like when when the 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.000 not to call it any names of the older sports 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.839 writers that cover this team, but like thinking of that, 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.920 like so that you know that game, it's you know 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.320 it's actually in New Jersey, and I just find it 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.680 funny how there's some people on this beat that don't 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.200 try to go to New York every time, like I 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.240 always am, like when I get tired of like trying 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.560 to go to New York when we go there, for 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.720 like especially that year when they played the Giants and 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.679 Jets both in Jersey, I was like, well, I got 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.719 to go over there, like I saw like earlier in 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.240 the day before they play that the Giants to open it. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.079 The Yankees have a home game, and there's part of 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.760 me that's like, man, I should try and make it 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:34.320 over there. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.600 I don't know if it's doable. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.800 But yeah, I just always try and get over there 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.320 for I don't know that i'd want to live there, 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:40.559 but ye, visiting. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:41.720 Is great, absolutely, I agree. 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:42.640 I agree. I'm with you. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.320 Just walking around it's it's incredibly fast paced and if 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.320 you can keep up, it's fun. But as far as 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:49.960 living there, I'd have to I'd have to think about 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.719 it. It had to be a hard thought, it would have. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.640 To be a big, big opportunity to make make that. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.960 The best way that I just I could explain to 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.000 somebody the very first time I ever went there, when 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.960 I got off of the say, I felt like you 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.880 were in a car merging into traffic, trying to start 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.200 walking with people. All right, are we getting in? Are 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.680 we getting okay? Yeah, got to make. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.120 A signal get in there. Yeah. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.000 I spent my freshman year at Allen High School, and 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.400 if anyone's familiar with Alan and how many kids they 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.360 try to jam pack into those hallways, they gave me 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.559 a lot of PTSD walking off that subway for the 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:20.080 first time. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.880 So that was that was the best way I could 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:23.440 explain it. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.640 I don't even want to really imagine that. Honestly, that 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.200 sounds terrible. Speaking of New York, I guess that leads 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.000 into my biggest thing this summer, got married. Of course, 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.960 we talked about that on talking Cowboys before. I told 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.600 my wife Lorena. As we were leaving, I told her 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.439 I was She was like, the first thing you need 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:40.839 to say on har is that you love me. And 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.280 I was like, okay, I will. I'll tell you so. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.079 I love you, Lorena. Here you go. So now that 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.480 that's out of the way, let's talk some cowboys. Let's 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:51.600 definitely do that real quickly. First impressions from practice number one. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:52.920 We'll take a break here in a minute. We might 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.800 continue this conversation. But John, when you were looking at 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.080 practice yesterday, definitely a lot to take in. I felt 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.959 like they didn't waste any time. They only have the 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.720 twelve practice sessions, ten of which are padded, and certainly 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.199 practice one was right off to a hot start. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.520 Yeah, and there's a part of me that I wish 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.440 coach wouldn't do that, because again, I love the social 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.680 media aspect, and when they were doing something tempost stuff, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.240 it's like, I don't have enough time to tweet these 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.079 videos down and get to the next one. I get 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:20.520 I get there doing it for conditionings, I wish he 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:21.360 would care a little bit more. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.640 About about your tweeting. The engagement needs to be there. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.200 The two things that that's most to me would be 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.480 one is that the semi fojoco tip pass that eric'scotted 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.320 up intercepting. And only reason why that stands out is 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.440 because that was an issue last year. So if you 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.120 see it, you can kind of be like, oh, is 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.560 this gonna happen all over again? Which it's just one practice, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:41.880 it's not that big of a deal. But you know, 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.880 we tend to in our business sometimes overrate things, no doubt, 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.240 and speaking of that, like and I don't want to 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.360 oversell this because that is such a training camp thing 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.520 to over sell wide receiver. But I just I really 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.880 thought Jalen Tolbert looked good, Like he just looked like 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.320 he was really sure of himself, was in the right spots, 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.840 like uh, you know, made the catches that they were 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.760 there to make. And you know, obviously a lot of 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.959 eyes are going to be on him during this camp, 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.000 and I just thought he had a really great start 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:08.600 first day. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.320 It's huge. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.760 Yeah, I think Jaylen Tolbert was probably the biggest standout 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.640 just because of what he had to face. Last year 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.280 both mentally and on the field, and this season you 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.439 can really tell that he's starting to find that extra 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.760 gear and find that extra switch building chemistry with Dak 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.120 Prescott both on and off the field. And you know, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.840 we were able to see that early on, and seeing 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:26.920 that early on can only give you. 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:27.840 Hope about what's to come. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.800 So I actually wrote about it in one of my 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.720 practice points yesterday on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:32.719 Y'all can go check that out. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.800 But the receiver group overall just had a fantastic day yesterday, 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.640 Like even Simmy Fooco aside from that one tipped pass, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.720 he had a good day. It was just very unfortunate 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.880 that his worst moment was probably the team's worst moment yesterday. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.000 The thing I always had problems with that too, not problems, 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.240 but it just you kind of have to adjust to 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.480 is like, Okay, so do you sit there and talk 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.199 about how bad of a play that was or then 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:55.440 you got the Eric Scott side of it. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.440 That's obviously a big play for absolutely a. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.520 Young corner to make, so you want to be sure, 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.959 you know, I mean, you got to be in the 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:02.960 right place at the right time. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.520 And he's the guy that has been doing that. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.680 That was such an interesting play because I agree there's 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.199 almost three levels to it is interception. Of course, that's 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.559 a quarterback stat and everybody's been looking at that quarterback stat, 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.080 especially with Dak Prescott this offseason. Fifteen interceptions last year. 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.240 It's been a notable talking point and it should be 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.160 based off of the year, and Dak would even say 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.600 so that he had in twenty twenty two. But it 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.040 was a good throw from Dak. So the next storyline 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.400 is semi Fojoko, why didn't you catch it? It's a drop, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.559 It's a tipped ball that ended up going up into 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.480 the air. If you're gonna drop it, at least drop 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.480 it toward the ground and at least try and make 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.920 some sort of effort to not allow it to be intercepted. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.800 And Dak, even with the trip out to the East 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.720 Coast and to even have that mentality he's talking about, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.520 I don't want to have tipped interceptions. I don't want 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.680 to have that thing in the air, that ball in 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.040 the air after it hits my receiver's hand. So you're 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.800 trying to get on the same page, why does that 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.000 not happen in that specific moment? And then The third 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.959 storyline would be Eric Scott Junior, young corner who a 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.640 lot of people have their eyes on as well because 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.360 they traded up to go get him. You saw what 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.440 dron Bland did last year in the same scenario as 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.400 a day three mid major cornerback that comes in and 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.360 has an impact and ended up leading the team in 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.920 interceptions after a great camp. Eric Scott Junior's got a 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.319 little bit of that expectation too. So there's three ways 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.960 to look at it, and I think really the fourth 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.880 way would just be let's not overseell this thing. Let's 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.120 not get too carried away, because I mean, it was 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.440 a great throw. Simmy had a better day outside of 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.200 that that most people will talk about. And then on 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.400 the third aspect of it, Eric Scott Junior had a 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.520 PBu two plays later where he broke a pass away. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.800 I believe it was dirt and that he broke a 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.400 pass up with So I mean, overall, all three of 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.040 those guys had solid days yesterday to start things off. Now, 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.200 I do want to talk more about Jalen Tolbert, so 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.880 when we come back on the other side of the break, 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.080 Tolbert as one of the leading at least attention getters 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.840 here in the early parts of camp. Is this too 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.080 early to say he's in the lead for that wide 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.480 receiver four spot or could he potentially just be getting 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.040 started as a former top one hundred pick when we 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.040 come back with more talking cowboys. 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.960 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.960 cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.880 online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.680 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:17.960 But the good news is Todd has AT and T 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.720 five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.000 learned the best thing to do is stop running and 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.680 toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.360 T five G.
