Yeah, especially on Halloween. Sorry, guys, 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.440 that was an actual thing that happened. I got stuck 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:31.280 in traffic and the I had gotten donuts beforehand, because 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.200 I was like, oh, I'm good, like I brought these. 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.440 I went and bought donuts at this little shot by 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.880 my house. But then traffic was the worst traffic I've 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.000 ever seen in my life, Like on my way in, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.120 I ended up being like fifteen minutes late, but I 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:47.840 had donuts. Beam was convinced that I had gotten donuts 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.320 after being stuck in traffic. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:55.840 It's like chance late. Yeah. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.880 He thinks I did it on purpose, but it was 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.000 actually a pre emptive donut run that ended up in traffic, 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.280 as opposed to like me being nice and saying, oh, 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.280 I was already stuck in traffic, Like we love you, Kyle. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:06.359 You were just trying to head your bet. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.120 We get it. That's what it was. That's what it was. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.600 You can't be the guy that's late that didn't bring me. 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.440 Yeah, exactly. But yeah, Nick Harris four Orth Star Telegram 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:14.760 is back. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.200 He was at open practice last night, Cowboys wrapping up 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.880 training camp here at the Start in Frisco. A couple 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.120 fun practices to cap things off. I saw really some 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.919 really good stuff last night. Ceedee Lamb had an incredible 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.080 grab back at the end zone. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.160 And to that point on dallascowboys dot Com, Kyle Yeomans 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.480 was killing it on the broadcast. Thank you and on 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.440 a twenty one thank you. Not to mention, but I 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.520 just love the presentation that you guys had. I know 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.720 we do it every year, but yeah, like Guessterday was 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:43.800 particularly really great. 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:44.440 Thank you. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.720 The biggest thing about those broadcasts is you can't show 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.840 anything because of the coaching staff restrictions. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.280 I felt like you could show more this year. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.120 Uh kind of okay. 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.440 Then previous years. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.400 There were previous years where there were no numbers on 0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:59.920 the jerseys, no numbers. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:00.560 And names the jerseys. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.080 And we were doing this broadcast and we were at 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.720 at and T Stadium, and we were up on the 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.880 third level trying to decipher who we knew who CD 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.200 Lamb was, Todown, we knew who Dak guy, we knew 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.320 we knew who like the big name guys were. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.440 But outside of that, it was. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.880 Like insane pass breakup by Dak Prescott. 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.880 I think I have no idea who that is. It's 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.400 available online, right, yeah, oh y poadcast, So go back 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:23.719 and watch it. If you didn't watch it. There was 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.600 some good stuff last night that we were able to show, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.520 but they were still they had we had to make 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.640 sure every everything was tight from a camera angle and 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.119 so there were a couple of times where we weren't 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.120 even showing the ball and I was just like, well, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.760 can't talk about what's happening on the field currently. 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:38.400 Yeah. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.080 Nate looked at me after we were done, He's like, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:41.720 we were a little quiet last night. I was like, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.479 I couldn't talk about what was on the field the 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:43.960 same way. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.120 That's fair, But then again it is also open to 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.400 the public, So there's just a fine line between all 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:50.839 of that, right, It's all a balance. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:51.799 Yeah, it's all a balance. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.719 But it is available online if you missed it last night. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.960 We had some good conversation, for sure. The CD Lamb catch, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.240 I thought his second foot was out of bounce, uh huh, 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.560 And then we went back and replayed it and then 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.159 of course he was totally in bounds. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.680 It was an incredible play, a. 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:05.360 Beam in the back. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.600 It was a push off, it was definitely and he 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.479 got flagged for it, but it was. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.720 It was still cool man, But I thought his foot 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:18.800 was What were your thoughts Nick last night? As we 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.120 got into the second open practice here. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.760 You know, Brian Schottenheimer on what is what is today 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.080 Today's Thursday on Tuesday, Uh, he said that he wanted 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.680 two practices that were ass kickers, and so I think, uh, 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.080 you know, the physicality was certainly ramped up these these 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:35.800 last two days. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.479 I thought it was a little bit more last night. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.640 You had more bodies on the ground as a result, 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.920 but I thought, you know, the physicality was definitely ramped 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.440 up in a positive way, in a positive way because 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.520 I didn't see anybody leave the field yesterday. Luke scoon 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.880 Maker did leave on Tuesday night, but I didn't see 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.440 anybody depart the field last night. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.440 So I think overall, you know, they got what they 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:54.760 wanted out of these two practices. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.839 And I caught Schottenheimer coming off the field and I 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.520 was like, so it was was it an ass kicker? 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.440 He just laughed, He's like, yeah, Well, I was like 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.279 all right, And so, you know, I think that's just 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.000 what they're looking for. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.159 You know. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.240 The physicality is something that he's preached all training camp. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.760 And you know, when the when the Rams came into 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.240 Oxnard for that joint practice, I think they they kind 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:14.560 of got hit in the mouth a little bit, and 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.720 the physicality I think probably took on a little bit 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.359 more intention after that. And so you've you've seen that 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.640 here in the last last couple of weeks as far 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.520 as them, you know, trying to be a little bit more, 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.880 you know, thudding and hitting. But it's been good to see, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.080 you know, this this last preseason game. There's a couple 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.280 of position battles that are still up for grabs. I'm 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.680 sure we'll dive into him. It's gonna be see to 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.480 how some of these fifty three spots shake out. You're 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.840 gonna see some surprises next week, and I'm curious to 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.479 see what those are. I got a couple in mind, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.080 but I think this fifty three cut is going to 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.760 be fascinating to evaluate. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.919 I was curious, and you guys would know better than me. 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.920 Why was Doron Bland not out there? I know he was, 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.360 he was stretching, but I didn't see him in any 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:53.680 of the drills or anything thing like that. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.200 Wasn't in pads, wasn't in pads. Was there a reason why? 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.760 Probably an undisclosed thing he's dealing with, but I wouldn't 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.159 consider it anything major on. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:07.719 The d A D list again, yeah yeah. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.440 That one up to Yeah, that one up to the interpretation. 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.920 Three time D list yet yeah all day, uh. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.040 But uh yeah, at one time, yeah, The big thing 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.800 for for Bland is if there was gonna be something major, 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.520 I feel like it would have been a bigger storyline 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:23.440 for sure. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:24.360 And he was there. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.520 I mean, he was at practice, so that was the 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.760 only thing that was really concerning to me. But I 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.360 really loved specifically the blitz period and the red zone 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.960 period yesterday. I mean, granted, that's that's whenever like practice 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.360 really started, you know what I mean. Of course you 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.520 have your special team's drills and all of that going 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.040 for the first like ten to fifteen minutes of practice. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.800 Love special teams drills, man. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.280 Yeah, it's it's great. It's just riveting television. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.120 Sure, what's your favorite the punting or the kicking, it's 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:48.560 all of it. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.160 Oh, okay, cool special teams. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.920 I don't know, man, Brian Inger hit some some gnarly 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.640 douns in those punts. Yeah, he's a boomer, not in 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:57.120 that way. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:58.560 We were up there. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.080 Of course, it's the same box that like we do 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.280 Frisco isd games in and Nicky Eatman looked over, he's 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.080 any of those high school kids from Frisco punting like that, 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.280 And I was like, not in a million years. I 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.880 was like, sorry, but no, they're kind of like Brian 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:12.679 angers and dudes. 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.320 They don't have bangers, they have dangers. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.360 Yeah, that's true. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.560 What were some of your takeaways from last night watching 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.320 those red zone and those blitz periods. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.240 The blitz period was fascinating to me, and like of 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.400 course you guys breaking it down was really fascinating. But 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.160 in terms of like first team second team, I really 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.040 noticed that Dak was just on one yesterday. 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.080 He had a lot of zip on the ball. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.560 He was getting the ball out early to Ferg I mean, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.800 obviously relying on his security blanket out there. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.400 He had a great scene through yesterday. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.600 I felt that timing was off in some areas more 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.720 often than others. With the second team, Joe Milton, I 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.480 think you started off with a really good scramble and 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.480 then he was kind of starting his aired passes, you know, 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.480 throwing behind guys like Jalen Cropper. He was dead to 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:02.920 rights on a corner blitz yet again by Izzy Israel mccuamou, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.600 but he had to go good throat of hold in 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.000 at one point and then he kind of got into 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:13.280 a rhythm towards the end of that blitz period. Of course, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.720 the bomb to Jalen Brooks was insane right before that, 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.160 he had a great pass to hold in. So there 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.080 was a bit of a progression yesterday that I haven't 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.360 seen from Joe Milton in at least a few weeks. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.200 I was like, Okay, he's picking on to something here. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.319 What did you think about Milton in yesterday's practice. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:31.760 Yeah, I thought he was a lot more clean, and 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.480 he was a lot more clean on Tuesday night as 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.000 well as far as being consistent. You know, there were 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.800 still some times where that bad footwork is showing up. 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.080 And you know, in a situation where I think if 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.719 you can break down Joe Milton and really kind of 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.760 understand the footwork that he puts out on tape, it 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.079 feels like on some throws he's putting like seventy five 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.760 percent of his weight on his front foot and that 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.240 just really allows him to push the ball a little. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.679 Bit further than you know he intends to. 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.599 And that's such a big intention that him and quarterbacks 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.240 coach Steve shimco Brian Shot, they're all trying to work 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.640 on with him, and it's gonna take time. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.920 That's that's the that's the reality of it. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.880 You know, you hope that you don't need Joe Milton 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.679 for an extended period of time this year because I'm 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.760 not sure he's going to be ready for that. But 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.600 if he can clean up these little footwork things, I 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.319 think he does have potential moving forward. 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.880 But you know, don't tell him he throws the ball hard. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.480 By the way, that was what was that? 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.720 That was like an agro sort of response from him yesterday, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.480 And I'm tired of talking about it. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.720 I'm gonna say something random cowboy jo he did. 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.800 Said, he literally did say, let's clear the air. I 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.480 don't throw the ball hard. We just kind of like 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.559 look at each other like yeah, yeah, yeah, facts. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:35.960 Facts. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:38.720 Meanwhile, it's a sonic. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:44.320 But like every time he works one my favorite. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.679 Broken like fifteen fingers at camps. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.199 Yeah, my favorite tweet tell hundred Licky that about. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.000 The whole scenario is like, if you need somebody to 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.640 throw the ball seventy five yards, Joe Milton can throw 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.680 it seventy five yards. If you need somebody to throw 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.560 the ball forty five yards, Joe Milton can throw. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:02.560 It seventy five yards. It's true. I mean that's what 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.199 it looks like. Even last night when he released the ball. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.880 To Jalen Brooks, and we were sitting up there in 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.480 the booth calling the practice. 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.240 You can hear me on the broadcast. I went, wow, 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.400 like it just it, It zips out of his hand. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.040 He has just the arm talent. I get it, I 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.320 really do. Everything else is tough. That's the and so 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.280 I get why there's there are NFL teams. Cowboys, of 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.400 course are the number one interest here, but there are 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.720 NFL teams that would be interested in Milton outside of 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.400 the Cowboys because of the possibility there, because he does 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:34.800 he has an unreal arm talent. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.040 But like you said, tying into the footwork. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.880 And that was a conversation I had with him early 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.760 in camp was what are you working on after practice? 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.120 What are you doing in your spare time and through 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.280 your walkthroughs? He stood after in ox Nard a couple 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.559 times after walkthroughs as well and. 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.480 Was working with some receivers. What are you working on there? 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.600 He said, I want to tie the timing of my 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.120 receivers to my feet. He said, I want to try 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.640 and piece this together and piece my footwork together to 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:05.160 where it's steady and it's consistent. We haven't seen that consistency. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.400 We've seen some flashes. We've seen the right throws. Like 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.040 you said, the timing this week I think has been 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.120 the best out of any time point in camp. And 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.480 maybe that's just a byproduct of reps. Maybe that's a 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.480 byproduct of the system and learning the playbook a little 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.440 bit more in depth. Whatever it may be, Milton has 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.199 looked better this week than he has. It's not gonna 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.720 matter if he goes out there and lays an egg 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.920 on Friday. That's just playing and simple. He's got to 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.720 have another really good preseason game or a really good 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:30.480 preseason game. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:31.440 I should say it that way. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.520 Then we can talk about, Okay, is he ready for 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.720 a quarterback two scenario or is this a situation where 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:39.800 we need to go somewhere else. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.480 And to your point you just alluded to it too, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.040 is the timing. I think he's working on that obviously 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.760 as he's going along. And that's why Brighton Schenheimer wants 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.240 him to have more snaps and get the bulk of 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.520 the snaps in preseason. But you see it a time 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.080 and time again, and I think Babelffenberg was it on 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.720 Twitter that broke down his play versus Will Greer and 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.040 like getting uh, I think it was just an out 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.160 route to Cropper. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:03.760 It was the scene. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.800 It was it was it was a seam sixteen to. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.400 Eighteen yards and that's where you want to hit it, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.400 and he broke it down perfectly. This is where you 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.480 want to place the ball. And Joe Milton missed that 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.400 timing window and it was glaring and it's obvious. And 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.440 then you compare it to Will Greer, who did the 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.200 exact same play in the fourth quarter and he nailed it. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.360 So let's say today, right, Dak Prescott's down for four weeks. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.320 Now, let's not say that. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:24.960 Let's let's just say that that's the reality. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:26.400 I hate saying. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.520 So you need do you throw out Will Creer? Do 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:29.440 you throw out Joe Milton? 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.440 I will agree I would throw out I think I'm 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.400 probably throwing out Greer too at this point, and I 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.880 think the comp staff would too. I think, and I 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.320 think something very important that Brian Schenheimer's emphasized multiple times, like, 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:39.640 we have. 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.520 Not named a backup quarterbacks. We have not named a 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:42.320 backup quarterback. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.880 And so whenever we follow up with okay, then why 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.120 is Milton getting all these reps? He says, we need 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.040 to learn more about Joe Milton. We know about Will Greer, 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.360 which is understanding of Joe Milton, so I understand that, 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.920 uh philosophy here in the preseason. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.079 Gosh, I had another point that I was gonna make 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.240 just completely. You know, I'm not give you more, I'll 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:58.959 give you time here. 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.320 The one thing that plays off of that, the only 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.319 person that doesn't benefit from the or actually there's a 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.559 couple people that don't benefit, but one person that doesn't 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.680 benefit from those reps for Milton his career because he 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.079 wants to get in touch, he wants to get in rhythm, 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.079 he wants to be there. The other people that might 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.240 not have it is as Joe Milton's trying to figure 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.800 it out. It makes it tougher for these wide receivers 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.800 and for these pass catchers and for this offense to 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.080 be evaluated accurately. That's the big thing that I think 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.320 is being maybe not sacrificed, but at least hindered to 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.520 a certain extent, because when you're two for eight in 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.680 the first half against the Ravens in Week two of 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.520 the preseason, are you getting a good look at this offense? 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.560 Are you able to evaluate guys deeper on the roster like. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.760 A tree Shahn Holden or a Josh Kelly or a 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.720 Ryan Flinoy or a Jalen Cropper. Not really, it's but 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.920 you do have the practices to kind of supplement that. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.080 But in a preseason setting, in a preseason game setting, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.160 you don't get the good look because you're having to 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.160 wait on your quarterback to try and figure it out. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.760 Absolutely, and this is something that Hole brought up after 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.280 the game. Check her out on Twitter. She's amazing at 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.560 it breaking down the film afterwards. But what she said, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.840 particularly when we're talking even in the booth, about how 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.920 it's like, oh, he's calling a vanilla game, like he's 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.120 calling a vanilla offense on offense and defense. Right, But 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.480 you're supposed to be able to nail those things. You're 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.440 supposed to be able to be in time, even if 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.760 it is vanilla, and you're not doing those things with 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.480 Joe Milton at quarterback right now. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.520 But again to shot Number's point. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.640 About we don't know enough about him, he needs to 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.040 be out there, he needs to take the snaps because 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:30.840 he needs his experience. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.520 He has had one game basically in the NFL. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.520 Let me throw another hypothetical at you on Friday, he 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.520 has the same reform as he's had these first couple 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.160 of preseason games. Do you maybe look to maybe trade 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.440 a late Day three pick to go get somebody next week, 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:45.440 a veteran that. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.600 Is trusted, A trusted veterans. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.280 How trusted we talking trusted back up? 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:52.520 A trusted backup? 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.320 Yeah, I would The one pause I have on that 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.760 is that you've done that the last couple of years 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.480 with the Lance and done it, but you've done it 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:02.920 with projects. 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.640 Hence the dilemma. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.960 Yeah, I would like if I'm going to do it, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:09.480 I would like to have a couple of years of 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.000 contract there, so maybe multiple years on his contract and 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.240 whatever that may look like. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:18.320 But yes, but only because and the. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.600 Only reason we talk about the backup quarterback position as 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.160 much as we do in the media and around this 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.520 this Cowboys beat is because they've needed it the last 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.800 few years. Out of the last five, they've needed the 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.320 backup quarterback position. And that's that's sort of a knock 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.760
