00:02 Talking about practice here, not Allen Iverson, but Dalvin Cook,
00:06 which is interesting because we did see an Adam Schefter tweet comes up.
00:10 He signed two weeks ago, haven't heard much, but finally practicing.
00:13 But it says the reason was not like shoulder rehab or getting back in shape.
00:17 Dalvin Cook is a first time father and was spending time with his son
00:21 while going to a new team and trying to learn the playbook.
00:24 Interesting scenario here.
00:25 We expect big things out of Dalvin Cook, but
00:28 we sort of saw him practicing sooner than later, no?
00:31 Seems pretty late.
00:32 >> Yeah, again, I think they're going to take their time with Dalvin Cook.
00:38 I think as well as they should.
00:40 There's a lot of miles on those tires there, Donnie.
00:43 So the idea of trying to force him immediately into week one, there's no need.
00:48 They'll be fine until he can get up to speed.
00:52 They'll work him and ultimately, your reason you went out and
00:56 got Dalvin Cook isn't for the month of September, is it, Don?
00:59 No, you went and got Dalvin Cook because when the weather turns and
01:03 you need to grind out some gains and some wins with Aaron Rodgers,
01:07 there is absolutely no better than Dalvin Cook here, if healthy.
01:12 And by all indications, on a shoulder is better.
01:15 He is going to be 100% with a chip on his shoulder.
01:18 Should be fun to watch, but I think in October, November, and
01:21 December, it'll be fun to watch.
