00:00Let's start off with the breaking news that we've seen and that we've been reporting on.
00:20What's that?
00:21No, Nathan, I'm boldly.
00:23Oh, you mean the Dak thing?
00:25Prescott.
00:26Hamstring injury will be out several weeks as the quote marks several weeks, you'll be
00:32missing Dak Prescott.
00:33And that's why when we had Steven Jones on at noon today, and if you're just now joining
00:37the show every Monday, Steven Jones joins us.
00:40We did ask him, yes, hey, do you have any update?
00:44And he said at the moment he's getting the MRI.
00:46He confirmed that with you, correct?
00:48And then he confirmed with me just nothing about the expectation of who the starter is
00:53because I said, is Cooper Rush the preferred starter?
00:57And Steven Jones said, well, we'd have to take a look at all the things there.
01:02And that's interesting to me because I get it.
01:05Tralance would keep a lot of people interested.
01:08Tralance would be a young quarterback with a potential to grow.
01:12Do you watch this and go, you know what?
01:14He's the backup quarterback of the future for this team because we feel like he'll be
01:19able to run, whereas Cooper Rush wouldn't be able to.
01:21And then you say, okay, we're going to keep him next year instead of Cooper Rush.
01:24Okay.
01:25That's.
01:26And this would be like a tryout for that.
01:27The running part is fair because otherwise I think Cooper Rush has shown he's a he's
01:31very service.
01:32Yeah.
01:33As a backup.
01:34And you can't trade him because he'll be up out of contract.
01:36Here's the interesting thing.
01:37I posted up, just posted this up on our Facebook.
01:40What's the Facebook page?
01:42The KNC masterpiece with an amp for Sam.
01:45I don't really know how to say that word, but at least a third of the people who have
01:49reacted thus far have put the laughy face on there.
01:52Okay.
01:53Which is, it just shows like, I'm not, I'm not happy by any, no, but anti-cowboy sentiment
02:00is just really, really high right now.
02:03I know nobody in this room is happy about that.
02:06Nobody in this building.
02:07Uh, I don't know, but there are some other floors I don't know about, but the, the point
02:12is Dax body yesterday.
02:15He did some things that he hasn't done much of this year.
02:18And that was running.
02:20He was running and that's whenever he experienced the pain.
02:25And whenever you don't use that and you don't train for it because you're like, well, I'm
02:29not, I'm not going to run.
02:30Jerry has discussed this.
02:31He doesn't want Dak Prescott to run, but we want to risk it.
02:35But whenever you are in that place, whenever you're in a place and you're just like, I'm
02:39just standing still, your pocket presence has to be the best pocket presence ever.
02:45If you're just going to be a statue in the pocket, because you still have to be able
02:48to escape at times and then get rid of the football.
02:52And that's where Dak was missing that.
02:54So they said, Hey man, if you need to get a first down Dak, I felt like he was doing
02:59everything he could to, to win, to be the, on every play.
03:03I'm trying to win every play and I get that.
03:06And then yesterday it cost him a little bit because his body wasn't quite prepared for
03:09that.
