00:00Who can make a case that having him not play in the preseason puts him in a worse situation to
00:05get hurt in actual football in week one?
00:08In terms of just not being ready for the speed of the game?
00:10Yeah, yeah. I don't disagree with that.
00:13You really could.
00:14I'm with Boomer and a lot of these older guys that think these guys should play.
00:18Like, we're so wrapped up, and I do believe it's because of the damn money.
00:21We are so wrapped up in keeping guys healthy.
00:24You can't do this. You can't do that. You've got to be ready for the game.
00:28Sometimes being ready for the game is by playing in those preseason games to get yourself ready for the games.
00:34And if something happens, it happens.
00:36Yeah, we saw Calvin Austin get hurt in practice.
00:39Crap happens.
00:40But you're right. They probably won't be 100%.
00:43You know, not for anything, Dak Prescott didn't play one snap in the preseason.
00:46Yeah, I do think it's different, though, because, I mean, you've got the very similar roster, right?
00:51The same head coach coming back who was an offensive guy.
00:54I mean, he's been around forever now.
00:57I do think that's a little bit different.
00:59I mean, Jackson Dart's still essentially a rookie player.
01:02I mean, he didn't play a full complement of games last year.
01:06They switched the offense on him.
01:08He's got a brand-new head coach, and he's got other weapons out there that he hasn't played with
01:13and some that he barely played with.
01:15I mean, him and Malik Nabors, they didn't have any chemistry last year.
01:18They barely played with one another.
01:19You're right.
