At the start, we are presented by Miller Lite, 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.519 the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys, and we are 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.680 today going to focus on the Los Angeles Rams their 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.880 offense versus the Cowboys defense. Who'll spend quite a bit 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.360 of time there. Brian's got a game for us in 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.160 the third segments around too, lots of fun. Maybe we 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.040 get to it today. We thought we'd get it to 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.720 it yesterday, but these guys talk too much, so we'd 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.400 wanted to argue, so we didn't get to it. But uh, 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.200 but let's start first. Let's get some catchups on on 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.160 some injuries and some stuff that Mike McCarthy had to 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.399 talk about let's let's start with Dak Prescott. What's he 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.920 going to be doing this week? What's wrong? Nothing? I 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.399 was gonna start with the moan Clark, but go you 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.360 know what, I guess you should start with the quarterback. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.360 I probably need to, but I will say this, of 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.520 all the names I got on this list, that's the 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.120 one that has a star by it. Because the Moan Clark, 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.679 I think we all have been waiting to see him 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.120 get out there. So, but let's start with Dak. Give 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.520 me an update on dec. What are we? What are 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.480 we looking at there? All right, Adam, there's just some 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.720 something flying around trying to kill it. I don't like 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.640 things flying around me, smashing guys. Okay, silence, all right, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.280 give me an update on dec. Where are we? Yeah? 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.080 I don't I don't really know. I'll be honest with them. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.720 Why don't you tell us? Don't know what the coach said? Yeah, 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.960 y'all get in to see now. Now he's a boss, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:02.680 so he actually has to go to meetings. Now. You 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.960 can't always just go to press conference with Dak. Again, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.200 it was always going to be that thing's not gonna 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.160 get near me now it's dead. I think Ambar like 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.239 wounded it to its flying in circles up. The thing 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.880 with Dak was always going to be about the healing 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.720 of the wound, the rotation in the joint or the thumb, 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.840 and then the grip strength. And from what I've heard, 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.960 they've had a little bit of swelling. Dak is always 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.240 going to work hard at this. Britt Brown's gonna work 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:33.880 hard at These guys are going to try and push 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.440 and push and push. And I'm not saying it, you know, 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.240 it's it's the it's that's the reason. It's like they 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.160 push so hard and then all of a sudden some 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.440 swelling reappears and things like that, and then it turns 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.640 into you can't grip the ball correctly. And that's where 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.160 this thing's at right now. If they can get the 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.000 grip strength to be where it needs to be for 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.880 him to hold the ball and be able to throw it, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.400 then he'll be out there practicing. And but you know, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.560 the more that you watched last week, they were talking about, well, 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.440 they're gonna shoot for the RAMS game, shoot for the 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.520 Rams game, and I just was like watching him, you know, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.080 you never heard about him in practice. Today he threw this, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.600 and or he did this, or he did that. You 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.320 never heard that. It was. It was just him kind 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.840 of watching things, you know, helping, being in support, and 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.400 so you're like thinking, well, and I asked after the 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.920 game on Sunday, I said, where are we out with 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.480 the quarterback? And I got the definite, Hey, we're gonna 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.639 try and shoot this thing for Philadelphia. We're gonna try. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.360 We're gonna try and see if it works. So I know, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.240 on my station on one oh five three, the fan, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.360 I you know, I was like adamant about that. I 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.400 was adamant about it on the postgame show. That didn't 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.720 think he was gonna play. And so until he gets 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.880 that grip strength, then once that happens, then we can 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.440 start the clock on what game he could be back for. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.840 All right, he seemed to McCarthy seemed to be getting 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.560 a little annoyed with all the questions being asked to 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.200 him about like the specifics of what are the things 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.960 specifically that Doc is doing as far as his rehab, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.920 and he just it was pretty funny, but anyways, he 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.520 doesn't know all the details, doesn't want to get into it. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.240 He's basically at a good spot the doctor visit went well, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.920 the stitching and everything. The healing has been looking very good. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:23.200 Obviously stitch stitches are out already, but he just very clear. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.800 He's just he's good on his rehab and what he 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.880 needs to be. Yeah, and I don't you know, he 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.320 says he doesn't know all the details or whatever, like 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.360 there's no way that's right there, Like there's no way 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.359 as a head coach that. I mean, it's okay not 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.800 to say the details to the media because he's very 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.479 annoyed by you can tell every week he's like he's 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.359 always throwing shots how every everybody's reporting different plays and stuff. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.120 He hates how it's covered. You know, he hates every 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.400 Tuesday morning on the fan when Jerry gets there, doctor 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.600 Jerry goes and says that kind of stuff. He's not 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.200 used to that. But you're not a coordinator, you're a 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.000 walk around coach. You know the details of your quarterbacks 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.880 if you don't. Yeah, But I think I think the 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.960 difference is And this is where the Todd was the 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.760 one that asked the question. Todd Archer friend of the show, 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.240 he was, he was actually the question he asked. And 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.480 I don't know if McCarthy didn't take it right or 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.720 if Todd was actually asking this, but the way it 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.119 kind of came off was literally, what are the exercises 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.240 and rehab regimen that he's doing to repair it? And 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.480 McCarthy's kind of like, I don't really know all the 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.920 different exercise Well, you know, that's what he was more 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.479 getting to, I think, And that's what I think he 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.240 was a little bit annoyed by. Was like, do you 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.000 guys want me to tell you he's doing, you know, 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.719 thumb wrestling and I don't know what you know? So 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.479 I think that was more of what it was, and 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.160 I don't know if it was what Todd was asking. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.760 I think that's the way he took it in my 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.920 and he's not the only one. Belichick the other day 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.560 did that thing with mac Jones and he said, like 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.880 he said day to day like twelve times and said, 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.520 what am I a doctor? I'm like, yeah, you probably 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.960 well in this role as a professional NFL coach, yeah, 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.479 you kind of have to be well. And then the 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.080 question was asking to follow up though, well, okay, the 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.560 people that are doctors, what are they telling you right? 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.920 You know, and he's like, you know, it's stated, we'll 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.080 see That's the thing about it too, is I think, 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.480 I mean, I think you both have shed light on 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.400 it the right way and and I to me, it's 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.960 I think Mike really has He's never had to do this, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.840 He's never had to deal and he's what you know, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.920 the season now, the fourth season here with the team, 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.160 third third season with the team, trying to think now 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:29.600 where we're yeah, you're three, okay, so you're three Okay. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.800 He's never in Green Bay. Trust me, I spent five 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.120 years of my life up there. They don't have an owner, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.719 you know, they don't have somebody, they don't have a 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.200 general manager. Ted Thompson was not coming out and Teddy 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.839 would tell you far less than what Mike McCarthy would 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.320 even tell the Green Bay media. So Mike is I 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.240 think there's a level of frustration where Mike is like, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.640 I have to stand up here and answer these questions 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.440 because what's happened, is it? You look at the timeline 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.200 for DAK returning, it's kind of like the stock market. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.720 It's way up, it's way down, it's way up, it's 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.839 way down, it's way up. No, it's flat now and 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.279 now it's up again. Now it's I mean he's having 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.760 that message. He's having to deal with the expectations of 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.880 the general manager, you know, and what the general manager 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.120 is selling the the hey, he's gonna be back. He's 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.640 gonna be back, and Mike's never had to deal with that, 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.400 you know. And that's when you work for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.240 That's the voice you have to as a coach. You 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.880 have to know that you're going to get questions because 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.560 the general manager talks twice on our station and we 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.600 we're glad to have him. And he talks immediately after 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.200 a game, so you have three opportunities in a week 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.520 to try and pin Jerry on what's going to happen here. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.040 And you know, so I think that's the thing that 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.760 he might be getting really frustrated about. Yeah, you're right 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.240 after a game when dad got hurt against the Bucks. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.480 Gary comes right out and talks and McCarthy hasn't even 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.680 hit the hit the podium yet, and what he is 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.960 saying is not the same, it's not it's not the 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.600 same thing. He's not as the definitive about him being 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.960 out for a while. And you know, all this started 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.600 when they didn't put him on ir too, and they 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.960 didn't put him on IR. It's like, well, you know, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.480 could the same with Gallup. They didn't put him on 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.000 IR because he did come back in the fourth game. 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.560 Point and now you know, but they didn't put Dak 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.960 on IR. And there's different reasons for that. And it 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.600 wasn't about just playing. It was about being around the team. Yeah, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.920 point right. Coaches know exactly what's going on with they know, 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.800 but they definitely know. And I again, like I said, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.920 I don't know that he knows a detail like literally 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.800 today he's gonna do this exercise and this exercise and 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.000 this exercise. But he's certainly you're right, he knows the 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.760 prognosis of his quarterback and what's going on with his quarterback. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.520 He may not always want to say that, and in 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.280 some instances he may not have to if he were 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.680 on another team. Sure, and this team, he's got to 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.960 always be aware of what did the owners say, because 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.520 that's an equally more powerful I should say not equally powerful, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.720 more powerful voice in your own building who talks regularly. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.079 You got to be aware of it. I wish I 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.960 wish Mike would have come out today and said, well, 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.959 he's gonna do the flaming procedure, right, and then they're 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.200 gonna money, and then they're gonna go into Jones rehabilitation system, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:03.800 and then they're gonna I mean, it had been funny 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.360 if he had just listed all all these terms that 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.560 everyone's exactly what he's got. He's got gamekeeper thumb, and 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.560 now and they're dealing with it in a what you know, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.800 and everyone's in the press. That's gamekeeper thumb. Yeah, that's 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.280 actually a real gamekeeper thumb is a real injury. And 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.440 by the way, real quick, it's it's a scouting term. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.920 It's a scouting injury because back in the day, people 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.400 used to when they collect birds, though, and you and 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.120 you reach down to get the bird, your thumb would 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.680 jam into the ground and so it was like you 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.880 would break your thumb or you would have an injury. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.360 So they called it gamekeeper game being birds and you're 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.960 gathering birds and these people would slam their thumbs into 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.760 the ground and suffer injury. Yeah, and we now use 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.920 it as a scouting term. There is also one called 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.360 xbox itis where and I think Derek has that Derek 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.920 has in your thumb, like messed up. It's gone down 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.520 quite a big because I don't play as much as 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:58.840 I used to. But it used to be like a 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.200 huge yeah, even a blister, it was just like it 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.120 was a callous that came from the actual bone that 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:06.880 was just kind of this big and I was that 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.679 was I used to play a lot of tank. That's 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.319 why I stopped playing the guitar. I was gonna, oh yeah, like, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.520 oh my god, this is painful, and I quite Yeah, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.480 all right, let's jump back in. Let's let's get an update. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.120 Actually talk about Deman Clark. Where are we with Damon Clark? 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.720 He's back, Actually he's never never was never here, So 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.800 I don't know if he's back because he's never he's 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.360 been here. He's been here. Yeah, neck and back and um, 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.600 he's you know fifth round pick that they that they 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.720 drafted with hopes that he could you know, be further along. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.080 And I think that was one of the issues, Um, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.160 you know, when when he got hurt right after the 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.599 Senior Bowl. The doctors and trainers have different opinions on 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.040 these guys when they could come back. And so I 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.000 think there's some teams that didn't want to draft the 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.920 board off the board, and they got him in the 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.120 fifth round. And I don't think anyone really thought it 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.920 would be this early in the season that he would 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.400 be starting to practice. Yeah, that's the thing about it, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.160 coming at it when you that's my alma mater. So 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:08.319 I watched him play that. The Cowboys stole one here 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.679 and the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a great history of 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.080 taking guys that are injured and saying, Okay, we'll be 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.800 patient because they do trust Jim Mayer, they do trust 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.360 Britt Brown. This kid right here, you talk about a 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.760 guy that, I mean the last two years LSU struggled 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.679 to be five hundred after a national championship team. He 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.320 never quit, he never wavered, He played hard. He's a 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.280 big guy. You you watch stand next him physically as 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.520 stand next to him, and you're going, man, this guy 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.360 he's like that Micah Parsons kind of big body guys 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.600 McLain kind of big yes, yes, yes, And you know 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.439 bru Cox is a smaller more cover. This guy can cover, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.480 This guy can rush, this guy can tackle, this guy 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.760 takes on runs. This guy if he doesn't, I'm just 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.040 tell you if he if he's not well, real quick, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.480 if he's not injured or they the Cowboys were the 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:06.439 ones that found the problem with his back neck area. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.560 They if he doesn't, he's a maybe a late one, 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.120 early two draft pick. He's he was on a lot 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.439 of boards. I never moved him off the board because 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.240 I'm thinking somebody's gonna take I had him in the 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.440 second round, I know, on my board, and when he 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.800 was taken by the Cowboys, I'm like, here they go. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.640 They stole one. They did their homework on a guy. Yeah, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.080 he didn't mess around. That's what he doesn't do. You know. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.960 Jody Camillis used to say on my favorite coaches of 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.240 all time used to call people some jf as, some 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.880 Johnny f around. Yeah, just sitting over there. He didn't 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.839 do that. This guy is business approach. He I mean, 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.760 he's come in from day one, and I think that's 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.000 one of the reasons why he's already ready to play 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.400 is because he or not ready to play. He's ready 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.600 to practice. We'll see what happens he starts practicing. But 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.040 like his commitment to rehab and getting better, it has 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.959 been here from day one. He's not one that's You're 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:57.800 not going to see a lot of our social media 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.880 interviews and fun little what's your favorite color? I don't 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.280 think that's gonna be him. He was here from the 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.800 very first mini camp. You remember when we were standing 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.720 there going through the drills as much as he could, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.640 I mean, taking the steps and all that. He has 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.839 been mental reps from the day from day one, and like, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.240 he's here to play and if he can contribute at all, 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.120 this could be, like you said, it could be a steal. Yeah. Wow, 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.240 that's that gets to be really excited because you talk 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.240 about the strength of this defense and I think that 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.480 maybe they are just kind of one or two tweaks 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.040 I don't even want to say players, but tweaks away 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.520 from really kind of taking that step to where we're 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.480 talking about a really, really extremely dominant defense. And he 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.559 might be that piece, right, he might be that guy linebacker, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.760 which linebackers the position we talked about a little earlier 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.360 this week that sometimes you get like you have a 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.680 little bit better play there. This guy wants to be 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.120 in every tackle. That's when you watched him play at 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.040 Lshoe He I mean, he played under defense that was 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.960 struggling and he but every single play you're like, that's him. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:03.200 That's him again. I remember last year and Dave was 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.360 you know, we're talking about arkantas LSU game and I 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.880 was like, he goes like, you guys are gonna win, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.480 and I was like, I don't. I don't know. He's like, 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.319 we're not very good this year. And I was like, well, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.559 who's number eighteen? Because I've seen him play and number 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.640 eighteen is a famous number. Yeah, yeah, and he got 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.080 the number, but like, you know, we don't have any players. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.800 It looks like that, and um, you know, I mean 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.320 that's just how good he is. He just he just 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.400 pops out and he's a linebacker. He's not just I 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.200 mean looks like a defensive end though. Yeah he is 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:28.760 he an off the ball guy? Or is he a 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.400 play off the ball you could do? You could, you 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.400 could play this guy anywhere. He's got that kind of 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.000 I'm not over selling this because he's an LSU guy. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.080 I'm just telling you when you watch him play, he rushes, 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.520 he attacks, he spies. I mean, they're they're Nick's talking 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:47.040 about it that. I'll tell you what. This guy sounds 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.720 bigger though many I'm kind of like, no, no telling me, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.920 I got another telling you this guy. This guy legitimately, 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.880 you know, when you start to talk about the best 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.160 linebackers in the country. This was one of them. This 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.320 guy was one of them, and people took him off 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.560 the board because they were scared of his back and 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.440 that situation. And you know, I'm like when the cowboys 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.720 took him, I just remember sitting here in this in 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.640 this exact spot and thinking, they stole another one. They 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.960 stole a guy that people are just going to sleep 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.040 on and because of an injury, and uh, you know, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.240 good for them. I got him practice, But I promise you, 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.240 and he gets the opportunity to play, you'll find out 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.680 who that cat is, all right, real quick, we do 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.920 need to get one more name, Jake McQuaid. We find 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.480 out yesterday as an injury is gone for the time. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.920 How did you guys not give me a look as 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:38.800 a workout on the steep snapping thing? Oh you should have. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.400 I actually thought that was funny. You were talking about 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.920 her on one or five out three the fantas day 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.800 and I was like, that actually have been a great bid. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.440 If we could have run, Brian, I would have. I 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.560 would with a long gray man Yeah running out there. Yeah, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.160 I'm here, I'm here, guys. I've weren't a GoPro like 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.560 a chess go pro you know, and done the workouts 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.920 like what Jeli Manning did. I would have done the 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.680 same thing. Brian Anger said no to that. I know 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.480 they appreciated how you guys fell your names. He heard 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.200 about the story where you broke the holder's thumb finger finger. 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.720 To this day, my buddy Todd Tomlinson, who's in UH 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.480 is in South Carolina. He's got a hook. I go, 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.080 if you're watching, he's got his little pinky as a hook. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.240 And I snapped a ball load to him in the 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.200 Kentucky game and it smashed his finger against the kicking 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.960 block out and he didn't want to get it fixed. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.280 He just kept So this day he's got a little 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.200 bit of hook because of me with your name on. Yeah. Yeah, 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.400 so that's what. Yeah, I would have I would have 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.480 warned the go pro gone out there kind of. I 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:36.920 wouldn't have, you know, I just go out there, Hey, 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.280 I'm ready. You know we're in the grays, gone out 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:44.000 there trying to cover seem like chu so fun. Yeah, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.120 that would have been. That would have been good. Um 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.960 they got I know that there's two guys. I don't 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.200 know if the names have been out yet, and I 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.400 don't even have studied Overton I think is one of them. 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.680 They have two guys are gonna put in the practice squad. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.000 Basically they're gonna call them up on a game day elevator. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.000 So they had to get Will Greer on the team. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.640 So mcqui will go to Ir Greer. Greer, you only 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.840 get three call ups for the practice squad, so he's 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.440 been this would be he's already had three. There's no 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.600 more elevations on game day for him, so you know 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.560 they're trying to get He'll be on the team for 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.400 however long until Dak comes back, and then I guess 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.360 they can move him back down. So at that point 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:23.560 they got to cut him to be able to get 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.920 him back to the practice squad. Correct, Yes, yes, yeah, 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.680 he's now a fifty one or fifty three Tucker Addington 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.040 and Matt Overton or the two snappers that are now 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.920 on your practice squad. Yeah, and you know, and we've 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.240 seen you know, backup snappers. And I was asked on 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.119 the on the radio this morning, there's gonna be a problem, 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.359 and I'm like, I was here in two thousand and 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.159 one and and so I know that Congo was no, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:51.000 not him, It was we brought in Mike Solwald and 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.920 Randy Chevrier. One guy was driving a truck and it 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.080 was I couldn't remember chev He was about to he 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.040 was about to take a big truckload to California. But 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:03.800 like man, I mean, it was almost like the movie 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.639 Major League when he was like, well, I got another 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.359 guy on the line with White Walls, I mean, let 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.040 me go manage the team. And it was like that. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.639 And the snaps, I mean, I mean he basically had 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.880 a bad snap in a game against Atlanta and broke 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.159 the kicker's foot because he tried to pick it up. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.080 And you know, so it was it was bad. It 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.160 can it can it can go bad. Well, so they're 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.280 playing the Falcons, I believe it's just like two thousand 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.320 and one, and it was it Maybe wun't Chevy, it 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.119 was Soul Walled had a terrible I mean, this is 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:33.880 like to win the game or late in the game 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.440 and there's like a fifty yard kick snap goes over 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.359 his head. The kicker, who's like a also he was 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.320 a teacher before the Cowboys called him to be a 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.879 he goes, he goes to pick up the ball, he 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.639 gets tackled, it breaks his foot. He's out, so that 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.120 they replaced the snapper like that was your last nap. 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.520 The kicker he had to get a new kicker. Shockingly, 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.080 this was not a good football season for the Cowboys. 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:00.240 What are you again gonna be like, No, no, he's 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.439 not wrong, he is not wrong. I mean, I don't know. 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.919 I think every day Saints, I go, this guy knows, 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.159 this guy knows what's going on here today it was 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.080
