Right here, let's focus on the Dallas football Cowboys, and let's go over some points of interest.

0:06.6

Again, it's the preseason.

0:07.9

Many of the starters, if any, are going to play at SoFi Stadium against the Rams.

0:12.6

That's why the joint practice and the scrimmage was so important because that's where

0:16.4

Dak pretty much gets all of his preseason reps.

0:19.5

And let's talk about just things we're going to keep an eye on and things that are intriguing

0:24.9

because outside of the whole Jerry Micah Drama, there are new things that peak our interest

0:31.9

heading into this 20-25 season.

0:34.1

Yeah.

0:34.4

And it's going to look like pretty much every preseason game we've seen since it was 2019 was Dax last game he played.

0:42.1

You're not going to see that many starters.

0:43.8

Honestly, all of the offensive lines should play to get them on a string together.

0:50.3

Tyler Booker, obviously, he's going to get some play most likely Saturday night.

0:54.7

So I'm going to be watching Big Number 52 in the trenches to see what he's like.

0:59.2

I'm sure he's going to be good.

1:01.3

I mean, there's really all we've seen is him at practice a couple weeks ago.

1:04.9

We've seen some video where he looks good.

1:07.2

But just to see him an actual NFL action in a game, I want to see what the offensive line looks like, and that kind of leads also to the run game. Schottenheimer said it's going to be a very vanilla game, which we can predict. It's a preseason game. As it should be. Right, for sure. You don't want to show everything. Because if they do have a lot more to show, as Dak alluded to when he spoke yesterday, you want to try to keep that under wraps up until

1:31.6

week one. And you mentioned Tyler Booker, yes, I'm curious just how much run he will get because

1:37.8

I think the organization feels like he is going to hit the ground running in year one, which would

1:42.8

be great. My big point of intrigue up front to start is Nate Thomas. Now, I don't think we're going to see Jared Verse, like we saw in the practice field this past week. But I'm guessing that he is your week one starter at this moment in time if Tyler guidance not ready. And I just want to see a guy who missed all of last year with a knee, who is the seventh

2:01.3

rounder who's being thrust into this position.
