So going back to my 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.000 trauma and this hundred and sixty million dollars shoulder. Uh. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.520 Kurt Daniels helped me out, man, because I have my 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.960 hand on the button ready to freak out, and you 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.160 know something that I don't know, So please list well. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.360 I don't know near as much as you probably know. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.200 I'm kind of right there with you, though, it's concerned. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.200 They've said it's a mild strain and it'd be a 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.720 week to which, which what concerns me a little bit 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.279 is McCarthy keeps saying it's a fatigue injury. Well, just 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.240 a couple of days off, no big deal. But if 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.440 you look at strain, a strain is at least a 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.760 week a mild strain even at least a week week 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.479 or two of rest. I think the concern is, you know, 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:35.000 if I'm a baseball pitcher and I've got a shoulder strain, Yeah, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.920 that seems serious. They're kind they're kind of talking like 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.040 this is isn't that big a deal? Which quarterbacks got 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.840 to go out there and throw again? You know, how's 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:47.599 that gonna work? Well, look, there's something different about you, man. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.560 I can't put my finger on it, doggy, What's what's 0:04:49.560 --> 0:05:01.000 going on with it? I can't YouTube man did Yeah, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.360 I mean I had a little chop man. You know, 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.000 I didn't want Jesse to feel, you know, inferior to 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.919 me with the long hair. So I said, you know, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.440 since we're on the same set for a little bit, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.880 I figured I cut my hair so you had a 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:14.640 long hair. Hair Immediately, I immediately, I immediately regretted asking 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.200 you that question because you know what, because coming from 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.480 a ball guy, yeah, I don't have hair cover you got, 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.160 you got hair follicles you get somewhere in there. I 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.159 mean I've been shaving this done for about twenty years. Anyway, listen, yeah, 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.599 let's get out of that. Um. Yeah, So I just 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.760 happened to play this position of quarterback for a long time. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.320 And um, you know, prior to being drafted by the Cowboys, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.240 I played quarterback although through college and then I played 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:40.960 for the New England Pages as a backup. Obviously I 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.039 didn't touch the field because there was some dude named 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.719 Tom Brady in front of me. He's all right. But 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.440 through all my years of playing quarterback, through all my 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.080 sore shoulders from throwing the reps from fatigue, I never 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.080 injured my throwing shoulder or you know, had a set 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.160 back in my throwing should and that that needed that 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.680 required an MRI. Now, I wasn't a one hundred and 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.320 sixty million dollar arm either, I didn't have that. However, 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.120 I was valuable to my university and I never needed 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.960 an MRI from my shoulder to say that I had 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.320 a strange shoulder. Now, I might have needed a day off, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:15.919 I might have been a little fatigue, might needed an 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.599 ice bath. Strange shoulders. There are a lot of intricacies 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.560 when it comes to the shoulder. I've had three left 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.760 shoulder surgeries, not in my throwing arm, but in my 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.760 opposing arm, and shoulder suck. Shoulder sucks. So when you 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.520 try to minimize something, um that is good. That is 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:35.760 literally the entire town, entire state of Texas is really 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.360 reliant on his shoulder. It's it's very um. It's worrisome, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.479 for sure. It's worrisome because of the fact that they're 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.279 trying to write it off as something might and it 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.040 very well might be. But I can tell you from 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:48.599 somebody who's had a lot of injuries and the titter 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.960 shoulder is not as simple as they may be making 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:56.320 the scene. Fatigue. I don't associate a fatigue, throwing arm 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:02.279 with m no that ramps it up a little for me. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.640 Never played quarterback like at a literally like a seriously 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:12.440 high level, never had shoulder fatigue. I've had fatigue. I 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:16.840 haven't had fatigue after three days. I haven't had to 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:22.160 go get an MRI forte fatigue. But then it takes 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.920 me back and I go, okay, Well, I started looking 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.320 at the injury history of Dak Prescott and I flashed 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.240 back to twenty nineteen when he injured his throng shoulder, 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.480 and at that time we were told it was just 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.640 kind of a strained slash bruising that he had in 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.400 the shoulder, and we saw what that outcome was when 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.960 I think they played the Eagles. Yes, didn't look too well, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.680 didn't look like a guy who was confident, and it 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.440 didn't let a guy who could throw the ball at 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:55.000 all very much in that in that football game. I 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.480 don't want to push the red button. I do want 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.640 to give benefit of the doubt and say, let's give 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.080 it a couple of days, because if he's not thrown, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.000 if in a couple of days, if by monday, if 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:14.320 by Monday, now they're saying, well, we're gonna need the rushi. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.800 I'm gonna giveim a couple more days. Now, let's ring 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.160 the alarms, because that then tells me is something far 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:25.080 more than just a strain slash fatigue. So I'm gonna 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.480 I'm I'm gonna cut him some bail. I'm gonna cut 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.200 Mike McCarthy, I'm gonna cut that some bail and say, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:37.080 you got it, fatigue. I don't think exactly you said 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.800 a couple of days. That's from McCarthy said, Yeah, told 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.920 me a couple of days. And even in his even 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.480 in his he'said a couple a few, you know, give me, 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.959 give me some credit. So I'm gonna give you that. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.640 So this happened when Wednesday. Yes, so I'm gonna give 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.840 you five days, six days. That's that's more than a 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.079 few or a couple. If by next Monday or Tuesday, 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.640 when we come back and we do our show, we're 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.160 hearing that Dak isn't throwing in practice or he's still 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.720 just doing drills and not throwing. Now, let's you know 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.559 that that over the button had like that little plaster, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.560 Let's slift that up. Let's lift that up and and 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:18.640 hover around that panic button Likeeody like Jeopardy, like, yeah, yeah, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.720 let's let's hover around it because it's it's it's we're on, 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:27.679 we're on close to Yeah, what does this do? Like physically, 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.760 he's set back, he's got to take some time off. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.640 What does this do for the offense as a whole? 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.120 Not having him out there? They know, they know what 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.960 it is. They know what it is. We don't know 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.800 officially what it is, but they know. But does it 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.439 does it hurt them? Not getting the reps with Dak? 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.320 It's not the it's not. Here's the biggest thing when 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.520 you talk about offense, because offense takes a little bit 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.640 more time to come along than was about yesterday, then 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.960 defense does. It's for the new guys, I need to 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.760 hear the cadence. I need to hear the rhythm, the 0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:02.120 tempo because you white eighty why they like that's tempo, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.960 that's cadence and you you beginning to pick that up 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.640 and you know how long your quarterback holds his wide 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.800 eighty Yeah, you know how that goes so as a 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.320 receiver or as a tight end, even as a tackle 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.120 or guard, as a center snapping the ball. I know 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.480 that that white aighty Why, I know how he holds 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.560 that I know when it's gonna come. I need to 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.319 hear him in the huddle. I need to hear the 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.880 chains at the line of scrimmen. So as far as 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:30.040 those things, you don't have your guy under center and 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.839 you want that rhythm, you want that temple. There's also 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:38.120 plays that Kelly Moore want to work through. You may 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.320 be debuting, you may want to you know, I know 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.959 I played for my time in Dallas. Jason Garrett was 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.120 my offensive coordinator. Then he became my head coach, and 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.640 he had this model of you know, I have to 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.040 see a play two or three times in practice, run 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.560 it two or three days in practice before I consider 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.640 putting that play in the game and the game plan. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.040 And so if they're something that they have saw in 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.720 the office, they want to work. They want to work 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.600 now Tony Pollard and Zeke Elli in the backfield at 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.000 the same time, or motioning guys out, or have any 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.200 different sets. You want to be able to have the 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.439 guy at the helm who you're gonna have when you 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.520 gotta go play Tampa Bay. Kind of running these things 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.120 to see how what's going to look. So your evaluation 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.120 of this play is one that you can go back 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.360 and say I like it, I don't like it. Let's 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.040 tweak it, let's try this, let's go this way, let's 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.360 go that way. And when you don't have them, those 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.880 things you miss out on during the practice time. And 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.240 that's what I'm hurt. I'm worried about what you're talking about, 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.280 the continuity of this offense and it has to and 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.480 for you, guys, I know, it's just like, look, there's 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.360 certain things like the his voice, his cadence and all 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.000 of those things, but just knowing how much time he's missing, 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.960 how much time he's been away and getting this offense 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.760 back running, and not only that, I mean with all 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.640 of the pieces that you're missing, and you're trying to 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.720 bring guys in on the rhythm of Kellen Moore's offense 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.000 and without your main peace sitting there, does that cause 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.320 you to concern? Because the caveat to that is just 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.760 like last year when you signed Andy Dalton, you had 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.720 no thought in your mind that he would actually play 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.920 the lion's share of the season, right, So now you're 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.000 in a situation where you're obviously you're getting an opportunity 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.319 to look at your backups and from everything that I've 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:25.400 heard out of Oxnard is not good. So I believe 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.480 this is more of a morale and an energy thing 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.440 more than more than anything. Right. So if what they're 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.680 telling us in terms of how many days he needs 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.760 and requires in order to get back because to get 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.559 over the soreness, right, it's fatigue, it's true, then guess what, 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.600 there's no issues. There's no new guys on offense, right, 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.560 we don't. We don't have anybody new on offense, So 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.360 everybody knows who that is. They had OTA's with them, right, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.560 which they didn't have last year, So that that's helpful. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.880 So I'm not worried about the reps so per se. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.440 If it doesn't if it if it stays within a week, 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.319 as long as it stays within a week, I'm not 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.199 I'm not concerned. Now, if what we're being told it's 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.240 not necessarily true and it's a little bit more in 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.439 depth in that, then you can start raising some flags. 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.440 Then you can start having some concerns in that regard. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.760 I'm more so worried about the momentum of this team 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.720 and the energy and the excitement that's behind the offense 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.200 and the effect that that has. Now we sit here 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.440 and we don't have all the information when we're when 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:17.880 you're in the in the locker room, you see the 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.320 guys going in the training room, you know what's you know, 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.959 how serious or you know or not something may be. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.000 So they understand. So that will have an effect over 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.000 how the energy really rolls. If it's more if it's 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.800 more serious than what we're being told, then you will 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.640 see that result in practice in terms of just being 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.360 a crappy practice. Yeah. Now, the backup quarterback position, I 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.720 want to talk about that because again, you guys know 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.600 how important it was and just basically judging off of 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.280 last season with the carousel that we had from the 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.240 offensive line and the quarterback position. Garrett Gilbert, d Nucci, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:55.040 Coop Rush, guys, you get to turn and look, I 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.800 say those names and Jesse, you think what or screwed? 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.679 Just not a little bit, a whole a lot of bit. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:13.000 And that's not that's for every NFL football team. Like 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.840 your backup quarterback, what you look for in the backup 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.880 is that a guy that can go win me again 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.200 if I have to go a three game four game 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:27.760 stretch because of something catastrophic, right, like the injury is 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.760 like like the anchor injury last year was crazy, that's 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.880 super catastrophic. But if I got a bump shoulder or 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.000 a knee or an ankle, canna and we gotta go 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.120 four games. Can you get me the two and two. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.440 If you can get me, If you can get me 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.840 the five hundred, you have earned your pay for the year. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.240 If you get me the three and one, you have superseded. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.280 You're paid for the year. If you get me too 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.000 four and oh get to check you have listen, you 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.560 get the Christmas card and a Christmas bonus. The backup 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.800 position isn't something because we're all talking about, you know, 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.520 improve the backup. I don't want to see the backup. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.080 I don't I don't ever want to see the backup, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:13.200 and no team does. You forgot the backups whoever you 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.400 know put them all together out there. I don't care. Um, 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:20.760 But if we have to go to the back and 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.480 we have guys, we have a month before we get 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.200 to the season. We got a month. Even if the 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.080 shoulder injury is a little bit more than what it is, 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.040 we still got about a month before we get to 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:37.520 the season. Dad can round in the form to get 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.720 ready to go for the season. If he has to 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.440 miss significantly my time through training camp. But if we 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.280 had to get to the season with one of those guys, 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.280 then we're screwed. I don't like the quarterback. I don't 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.600 like our backup quarterback situation. You know, injury or not. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.000 You know, obviously you get a backup because you're preparing 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.240 right for the what ifs. And I don't feel better 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.080 last year. I felt better absolutely with any Dalton. Absolutely, 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.200 I like any door. I still like any dog difference, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:08.160 Absolutely experience, experience, because was the thing that you fear most. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.440 It's not necessarily skill set, it's not it's not potential 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.080 that you're worried about when you get When you have 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.560 a back of the quarterback, you worried about him being 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.760 able to manage the dog on game. Can he get 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.920 in and manage the game? Can he run the timber? 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.840 Or can he get this offense? How much of it? 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.440 How much of a play called difference woout to have 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.880 Kellen Moore? Does he have to have a whole new 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.800 package or can I call the same game I've been 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.280 called and preparing for it for the last two or 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.600 three weeks? Right? What what do I have to change? 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.720 And it's the team gonna respect him. If I step 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.240 in the huddle, it's Jessie gonna look at me and 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.880 be like, I'm not gonna Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.720 That's what you look for. So when I look at this, 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.160 I think Gary Gilbert could throw the rock right. I 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.000 think he was a little nervous because of the offensive 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.200 line situation last year. So if there's anybody I feel 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.960 confident in to some regard, it's him. But I don't 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.040 like our situation. And now you factor in the fact 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.560 that getting worried out of any Napolis that Carson Wentz 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.760 is now hurt himself. If there is somebody out there now, 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.159 depending on how serious you know this injury may be, 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.880 there's more than one team looking for a backup quarterback. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:12.000 Now what is it? I just totally lost my threat. 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.280 Turning thought, I guess is it better to have the 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.960 guy like Gilbert who's been here a year and a half. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.000 He knows the system a lot better than bringing in 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:24.480 somebody dude new like isn't like bottles on the street. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.280 Is that a guy? Would you rather have him with 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.160 the experience or would you rather have a guy who 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.560 showed a little promise you know, but knows the system better. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.600 I don't know this system. I haven't been here. I 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.239 don't know. Maybe you probably know a bit more than 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.080 me as far as like Killer Moore system. I don't 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.440 know how complicated it is to learn. And now if 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.000 this was like a New England, like we know, that 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:48.399 is a freaking complicated offense, like just just two. So 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.000 I can't speak on that per se, but typically you 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.720 would say, hey, the person that would that's that's been 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.960 here right just for just for a safe reason. The 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.120 guys know him, you know, he has a rapport with everybody. 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:00.879 But when you start looking and that okay, now, if 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.080 there's something that keeps Dak out for more than a week, Okay, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.040 now we have back to back injury issues, back to 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.680 back years. We need somebody who's talented enough to carry 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.800 this team forward, who can step in. He's not Dak, 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.680 but he's talented enough to come and take the rain. 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.080 So that's kind of my take on that. I just 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.000 don't know if there's anybody on the street that's going 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:17.800 to be that much better than a guy who's here 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.080 who kind of knows the system and that sort of thing. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.520 And please, no one texts me Tony Romo, And I 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.240 know it sounds I know it sounds crazy, but there 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.520 will be people who can tweet me and say, I mean, 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.040 there's enough to Tony Roman getting training campus, don't Tony 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.760 is getting paid talking, Yeah, Tony is getting Tony is 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.960 getting paid as much as a starting quarterback. Absolutely to 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.480 play golf six days a week, he wouldn't do it, like, no, no, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.159 you wouldn't do it. But among among the headlines of 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.760 injuries coming out of Oxnard, one of the ones that 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.639 hadn't been talked about a lot is Amark Cooper. Amark Cooper, 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:59.080 Tank Lawrence. And these are your core guys, this is 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.440 these are your horses. You're gonna be relying on these 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:06.440 guys throughout the season. Does does that cause any concerns 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.480 for you? I know you guys, you know have been 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.000 through and seeing guys come back from from serge. You 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.159 have to work with Britt Brown, and you've talked extensively 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.679 about that's not a vacation. He's just not sitting up 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.720 in camp shilling. Uh so. But but those two guys, 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.640 does it give you any concern knowing that they are 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.840 centerpieces on your offense and your defense, Nope, nope, not 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.600 at all, not from my perspective for not these guys. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.720 Not these guys, because these guys are playing and play 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:33.600 you know what you're getting out of them when they're 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.760 on the field. You there's no question marks. You know what, 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.440 d law, you gotta get a one hundred percent effort. 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:38.760 He's gonna come off the edge, he's gonna be a 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.960 dog coop. He's one of the best route runners in 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:42.840 the league. You know he has a report with a 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.560 quarterback or a quarterback already. You know he's your number 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.719 one guy. So there's no question marks there. Healthwise, he 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.120 has the best training staff, He's had the best treatment 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.440 all offseason. At this point, I look at this in 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.919 terms of them starting off on pup ass just getting 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.359 giving more guys opportunity to come on to your roster 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.880 for camp, getting more eyes if you if you if 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.680 you don't have them on pup, there's two less guys 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.439 that you look at during camp. If I put in 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.440 them pup, they're not gonna play in your preseason games. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.000 They're not very very they're not They're the reps that 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.520 they're gonna be getting in camp. Aren't that valuable? Right? 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.080 So let them chill. I'm up for a couple of weeks. 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.000 Let some other guys get get some looking on at 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.560 some other guys get through a couple of preseason games, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.120 and then take them off pupping, let's go to work. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.880 And they're concerned though, that both of these guys injuries 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.560 are recurring. I mean, you know, Cooper's battled an ankle 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.560 now for at least couple of years, and ankles pretty 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.640 important for receiver on those cuts. And the same thing 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:33.639 with Lawrence. He's had back issues in the past and 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.840 he's got to bang up against those three hundred pound tackles. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.479 I mean, it's not a concern that part of it. 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.880 You'd be So there's so many injuries that are not reported. 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.320 I can say that right here and Jesse have pure 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.359 pretty Shure has my back. There's so many injuries and 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.959 things that guys have to deal with after their careers. Hey, 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:50.880
