COMPLICATIONS
SIGNIFICANT CASH
COMPENSATION.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb relaxed
at training camp with a sweet berry peo-
ny-scented candle, running back Eze-
kiel Elliott was thankful for a supply of
baby powder and a couple of Cowboys
who hail from Pennsylvania faced off in
a chess match.
The second episode of HBO’s “Hard
Knocks: The Dallas Cowboys” docu-
series aired last Tuesday, offering fur-
ther insight into stars and fringe roster
players, as well as coaching dynamic in-
tricacies only known behind closed
doors.
Sloppy practices? Head coach Mike
McCarthy had publicly knocked his
team for mental errors and missed as-
signments, but “Hard Knocks” dis-
played the attention to cadence as of-
fensive coordinator Kellen Moore de-
manded all players stand, clapping on
repeat, while rehearsing the snap. In an
early scene, McCarthy emphasized to
players during a meeting the impor-
tance of establishing a team personality
rooted in physicality. Defensive line
coach Aden Durde implored his position
group: “We have to work on our mental
toughness.”
Here are USA TODAY Sports’ top five
highlights from Episode 2.
1. Circuslike catches demand
center stage
Cowboys fans need not have tuned
into “Hard Knocks” to discover high-
light-reel catches from Lamb, the sec-
ond-year star receiver. Those blanketed
Cowboys Twitter from the first week of
training camp. But the show did offer
new jaw-dropping angles of Lamb’s
one-handed heroics, while audio cap-
tured by the NFL Films crew shed fur-
ther light into how teammates perceive
Lamb’s consistent spectacles.
“That’s an easy guy to throw a go ball
to,” quarterback Dak Prescott says. “See,
he just walks underneath them.”
Micah Parsons, Dallas’ 2021 first-
round pick, lauded the 2020 top selec-
tion as “nasty as (expletive).”
Owner Jerry Jones shared similar
sentiments while video chatting with
Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin dur-
ing this week’s episode.
“His strength is noticeable, his work
he’s done, he’s added pounds,” Jones
said. “You can see just in the way he
snatches the ball. This guy wants to go
out and make the plays. We’ve just got to
use it. We’ve got to have it in his hands.”
2. Parsons’ relentless regard of
the game
For the second straight episode, Par-
sons aimed to fight for more preseason
snaps. His 14 chances (20% of defensive
snaps) against Arizona pleased him no
more than his previous 11 (19%). On the
sideline, the rookie doth protest.
“You said a quarter and a half,” Par-
sons told senior defensive assistant
George Edwards. “Coach, do you not re-
member what you told me?”
Parsons was credited with four tack-
les against the Cardinals in addition to a
beyond-the-box-score instinctive stop
that aided linebacker Keanu Neal’s
forced fumble and recovery. Neal
goaded Parsons on the bench, further
lighting the fire: “I hope your ass is done
so you can get (expletive) mad.”
Also featured: a scene in which Par-
sons, a games man who actually
brought his own Connect Four board to
Southern California training camp,
faces backup quarterback Ben DiNucci
in a chess match. DiNucci ultimately
won on account of what Parsons insist-
ed was “one blunder.” The Pennsylvania
boys exchanged jabs. “ Against a Pitts-
burgh guy, I’ve never been nervous,”
said Parsons, who grew up in Harris-
burg. DiNucci’s winning gloat: “I guess
the western part of PA is better than the
eastern part of PA, huh?”
3. Defensive line coach flashes
accent, acumen
Aden Durde rejoined the Cowboys
coaching staff for a second stint this off-
season. But the smooth accent with
which he coaches bag drills immediate-
ly gives away Durde’s roots: He is Brit-
ish. As Durde coaches how best to at-
tack with a strong outside arm, Jones
offers a description reminiscent of the
biblical scene when Isaac assesses
whether he’s speaking with his son Ja-
cob or progeny Esau.
“That defensive line coach, I look at
him and he looks like he’s from Arkan-
sas,” Jones says of Durde from the side-
line of practice. “I listen to him, and he
sounds like Winston Churchill.”
Durde’s accent generates laughter
from defensive linemen, including end
Tarell Basham, who commits to an im-
personation during the episode. A re-
porter asks Durde whether he’s familiar
with “Ted Lasso,” an American football
coach tasked with coaching an English
soccer team in the popular Apple TV
show. Durde said he’s not seen the
show.
“But I’ve heard some people say
that,” Durde adds. “I know who he is
now.”
4. Highs, lows of bubble player’s
journey
Cowboys pass rusher Azur Kamara
missed the 2020 season with an injury
designation. The 22-year-old Ivory
Coast native fled the civil war with his
family as a kid, finding refuge first in
Guinea before reaching the United
States and settling in Arizona. Kamara,
who played college football at Kansas, is
shown in the episode making contact
with DiNucci during team drills – an in-
excusable error, worthy of a firm Durde
rebuke afterward. But during the pre-
season game against the Cardinals, in
which Kamara’s family attends, Kamara
flashes with a would-be strip sack that
was negated by a false start penalty. The
play counts for naught, but the instinct
drew props from teammates and coach-
es. Kamara’s mom smiles so intermina-
bly his sister tells her mother her “face is
gonna hurt.”
5. Prescott makes progress
The Cowboys progress through this
episode toward answering the biggest
question of training camp: Prescott’s
health. The quarterback slowly return-
ing from a latissimus strain in his
throwing shoulder resumes throwing in
individual drills. Like in Episode 1, re-
strictions do not please him.
“Enjoyed the work man,” Prescott
says after one session return, with a
trace of bitterness. “I’m done; they
pulled me. They pulled me.
“I’m on a pitch count. They called in
the reliever.”
Prescott explains in detail how he in-
stead embraces mental reps, envision-
ing his targets and adjustments while
supervising team drills.
In the meantime, backups aim to
capitalize on opportunities.
‘Hard Knocks’ features circus-like catches
Jori Epstein
USA TODAY
CeeDee Lamb had 935 yards and 5 TDs receiving during his rookie season.
TIM HEITMAN/USA TODAY SPORTS
Brenda Allen didn’t consider en-
dorsement deals when she nicknamed
her baby grandson, Ga’Quincy McKin-
stry, Kool-Aid. She thought about his
smile – a big grin that reminded her of
the Kool-Aid Man.
McKinstry has plenty to smile about
these days.
Alabama’s highly touted freshman
cornerback and the Kool-Aid drink an-
nounced an endorsement deal Wednes-
day, becoming the most obvious part-
nership to emerge since the NCAA be-
gan allowing college athletes to profit off
their name, image and likeness on July 1.
In a full embrace of his nickname,
McKinstry is listed as “Kool-Aid McKin-
stry” on Alabama’s roster.
After seeing McKinstry’s name re-
corded that way on the roster, the Kool-
Aid brand thought: Oh yeah!
A partnership was born.
McKinstry might be at the head of a
trend.
Years from now, perhaps we’ll see all
sorts of athletes on college rosters who
are named after product brands in
hopes of landing an endorsement.
“I think the NIL is going to make a lot
of changes in the way people do a lot of
things. I wouldn’t doubt that moms and
dads are going to start naming their kids
Heinz Ketchup and Kraft Macaroni,”
joked Demarcus Thornton, McKinstry’s
friend who served as his representative
to help secure the deal.
But there’s more to like about McKin-
stry than his name.
A five-star recruit, McKinstry was
the nation’s No. 1-ranked cornerback in
the 2021 recruiting class. He’s expected
to receive ample playing time during his
first season within an Alabama defense
that will rank among the nation’s elite.
That means you can expect to hear
Kool-Aid mentioned on a lot of televi-
sion broadcasts this fall.
“He’s better than people think on the
field, and he’s an even better person.
He’s just a fantastic kid,” said Thornton,
who played defensive back at West Ala-
bama and met McKinstry a couple of
years ago through a connection with
NFL and former Alabama defensive
back Dre Kirkpatrick.
And, importantly, Thornton said
McKinstry drinks the product he’s en-
dorsing, guzzling Kool-Aid Pink Lemon-
ade “like it’s water.”
“That’s his favorite flavor,” Thornton
said.
Even McKinstry’s given name, Ga-
’Quincy, lends itself to a slogan.
“Drink Kool-Aid. It’ll Ga’Quench your
thirst,” said Thornton, a Gadsden, Ala-
bama-based entrepreneur.
McKinstry appeared on “CBS This
Morning” on Aug. 5 to discuss being
named the male athlete of the year by
the USA TODAY High School Sports
Awards after a standout senior season
that culminated in Pinson Valley High
School winning Alabama’s Class 6A
championship.
During that nationally televised in-
terview, McKinstry was asked about the
possibility of an endorsement deal with
Kool-Aid.
McKinstry already had signed a con-
tract with the brand by that time,
Thornton said, but the deal hadn’t been
announced. McKinstry didn’t let it slip.
“Hopefully that’s something that can
happen in the near future,” McKinstry
told CBS.
McKinstry and the drink kept the
partnership under wraps until Wednes-
day. To announce the deal, the Kool-Aid
Man, the drink’s well-known mascot,
swapped names with McKinstry on
their Twitter and Instagram accounts
for 24 hours.
McKinstry’s name topped the Kool-
Aid brand’s account, while the Kool-Aid
Man moniker shifted to McKinstry’s
personal account.
The switcheroo reversed to its natu-
ral order on Thursday.
