00:25Tom Pellicero from the NFL Network tweets, four-time Pro Bowl running back, Dalvin Cook

00:32is signing with the Cowboys.

00:36Cook was waiting for the right opportunity and always felt it was Dallas.

00:40A marquee addition, Tom Pellicero says, in big D.

00:46Best running back on the team.

00:48That is true.

00:49Was the right opportunity, somebody called him.

00:52Is this right to practice squad?

00:55So yeah, I just sent a text about this.

00:56The thought was it was the last 24 hours.

00:59I think everybody was kind of hearing the same thing, which is it would be practice

01:02squad.

01:03That's what they were looking at him for right now.

01:04Uh, similar to like when they signed Jason Peters a couple of years ago and put them

01:07on the practice squad initially, but these reports here are not specifying practice squad.

01:11Now it's coming from an agency and agency may not be wanting to highlight necessarily

01:15that it's the practice squad and they may just say he signed with the Cowboys, but there's,

01:20I've got some texts out to figure it out, but.

01:22And in true choppy fashion, Mr. Anti and old running back is a big fan of the signing.

01:28Kevin Hagelin.

01:29Oh, I turn it over to you to hopefully fight for the next 10 minutes with him.

01:33Do you think we're going to have the most bad ass 2017 pro bowl practice squad practice

01:39practice squad?

01:40Uh, this is, so this is the thing.

01:42Okay.

01:43I, I dismiss, I don't want, I don't like the running back idea of any running back, but

01:47if you're going to get one, do you think a running back should not exist?

01:49Like we shouldn't run the ball.

01:51It should absolutely exist at the $500,000 a year level.

01:54Okay.

01:55Uh, whatever the league was that, Hey, how mad are you about Mike and not being a defensive

01:59end a hundred percent of the time?

02:01Uh, I'm not, I don't care where, where they put him.

02:03I just want him rushing the passer.

02:05So like if he's rushing from like the a gap, whatever, right.

02:08I just, you know, there are going to be plenty of off the ball opportunities where he's not

02:12going to rush.

02:13Right.

02:14I know.

02:15I know.

02:16Choppy doesn't believe in off speed pitches.

02:17He just, he wants to, he wants fastball.

02:18Yeah.

02:19You know what?

02:21I'm not going to play that with the curve ball.

02:22Okay.

02:23High heat, baby.

02:24Okay.

02:25All right.

02:26Show your hang.

02:27What?

02:28So you only appreciate a strikeout if you overpower the batter and not trick them.

02:31I'll tell you this.

02:32You don't see a pitcher break a change up off and then do the Conor McGregor walk off

02:37the mound.

02:38Okay.

02:39That you see that only when they throw a fastball.

02:41So what does practice squad mean for the likelihood of playing on opening day?

02:48Probably not first week.

02:49I wouldn't think, but I mean, this is, you're putting them on the practice squad to ramp

02:52them up.

02:53So he'll be, he will play in a game for the Cowboys.

02:55I would guess sometime in the first month and then you get three elevations.

02:58Yeah, but I don't even know that it would have to be that.

03:00I think it's, he'd probably get signed to the active roster pretty quick.

03:03I think they'd bounce them up and down.

03:04I don't necessarily think they would want to do.

03:06I think they'll just kind of hold him down and then get him ready and then sign him when

03:09he's ready to go.

03:10Mikey, who's getting cut because of this move?
