1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Tnc masterpiece right here on one oh five three the

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: fan and right now we bring to you Dallas Cowboys

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: owner general manager Jerry Jones, brought to you by your

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: North Texas four dealers, Ford built for Texas, built for you, Jerry,

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: How are you this morning? Great, guys, Good to be

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: on with you and Kevin, you and Mike and Corey.

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: Boy a beautiful bride day out here, and our team

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: just left the field. Where I'm talking to you, I

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: have a the best view you could possibly have and

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: the most succinct view of everything we do on the

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: practice field. And of course I can step right down

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: the way about thirty forty feet and see everything's going

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: on in our anything we're doing indoors. So it's great.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: And I can't tell you how great it feels to

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: just be playing, just be playing football. Normally, Harmley, I

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: would if I've left our practice facility in Oxnard, California,

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: and we'd normally have our team out there, and we'll

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: be doing our training camp at Oxnard. Well, sometime during

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: the course of a day or every other day, I

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: would get out and get on that highway one one

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: oh one, and I would drive like you were, you know,

22
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: you were going toward Los Angeles or back up towards

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: Santa Barbara. Look out there in that ocean and that

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: openness and all of the things that you could believe

25
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: that we're in that water, drive along and just have

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: to pinch myself and say, is this really getting to

27
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: be a part of something you love football at the

28
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: same time be in this kind of atmosphere. We'll believe

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: it or not. I feel that way now, and I'm

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: not just trying to raw raw or jump up and down.

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: But man, I would have died if somehow I had

32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: missed what we're going through and what we're doing to

33
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: have a football season for the Cowboys, and certainly as

34
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: it pertains to the NFL it it would have been

35
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a real loss to have not gotten to step out

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: here every day look at the challenges that we've got

37
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: every day. Boy, if you think you're doing anything out

38
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: here that looks like business as usual, you're probably doing

39
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: it wrong. You need to be the antithesis of what

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: you've ever done, whether it be the way you group

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: on the practice field or the way we approach our media.

42
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: You guys may or may not have been out here,

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: but I'm so proud of where we've got the media

44
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: located to really watch what's going on in our practice.

45
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: So you know, the whole deal is a new experience.

46
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: But what an experience. I'm so excited about laying football

47
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be so proud when I'm telling this

48
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: story years from now and say, boy, we did it,

49
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: we pulled it off, We got our NFL season, We

50
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: played it, the Cowboys played it. Maybe even we can

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: say we kicked their ass while we were playing it. Well,

52
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I know we're all hopeful, especially for that last part,

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: but we're also hopeful. And in You're Welcome to Training

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Camp discussion, you talked about fans being at the games. Now,

55
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: not a lot of teams have gone in this direction

56
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: quite yet. What makes you so confident that we can

57
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: have fans at at and T Stadium cheering on the Cowboys. Well,

58
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I really want to kind of lead that question with

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: just a word. Think of fresh air, Think of openness.

60
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Think of a lot of room, room, a lot of space. Now,

61
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: that's the way football is played. Football by tradition is

62
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: probably as open as a certainly baseball's open, but it's space,

63
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: it's elements, it's a it's air flow. It's movement. Now.

64
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: If you think about one of the biggest challenges we've

65
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: got in COVID, and we keep everybody going to it,

66
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: one of the only things we put our finger on is, boy,

67
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: it's probably better to be outdoors. It's probably better to

68
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: be in the air. It's probably better to be where

69
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: it's really freshness is involved. I'm sitting out here looking

70
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: at about as much space as I want to look

71
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: at of where we're practicing right now. When we have

72
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: an indoor meeting, just a meeting like normally might have

73
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: been in a room, we have it in an arena

74
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: out here where there's twenty thousand people can get in

75
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 1: it normally, and that meeting is sitting there with eighty people,

76
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: ninety people, our players and our coaches that space. Having

77
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: said that, that's what we have at our stadium. We

78
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: have space. Now. Yeah, we have the ability to enclose it,

79
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: but we've got the ability to open it wide open.

80
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: There's three million square feet of air conditioned space out there,

81
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the largest arena there is in the world that can

82
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: be air conditioned, and we can open that up so

83
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: that when I think about playing our games out there,

84
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: I want our fans to think about space. You could

85
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: have a few hundred fans come in from one side

86
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: of the building and they be as far away from

87
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: the other side of the building or the other corner

88
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: as if they want. And we're in Dallas, Nos. And

89
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: what we're and so my point is space is what

90
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: we're trying to take advantage of. We have it. We

91
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: have there the ability at our stadium. We're speaking to

92
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: our fans now coming to the games. But that's the

93
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: largest space air condition there is that I know of. Well,

94
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: we can even open that up, and consequently we're going

95
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: to be able to have the best distancing. We're going

96
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: to be able to have not only the safest procedures

97
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: that we will have had the benefit of hindsight. On

98
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: the day they come in in mid September, we will

99
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: have had all this time to do the best job

100
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: we can. We won't spare anything to make it safe.

101
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: Your team is going to be spaced out. The game

102
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: has times when the players do get a little close,

103
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: but in general, just think space and then think care.

104
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Nobody has to be on that football field that doesn't

105
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: want to be on that football field. Nobody has to

106
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: be in those stands or in that stadium that doesn't

107
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: want to be there, Nobody that's uncomfortable not being there

108
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: should be there. It should be a feeling about it,

109
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: and we should actually have a if you will, a

110
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: special feeling, which I think football can do for us

111
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: because it's an open space mentality. Now, I'm speaking a

112
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: lot of arm waving here and a lot of mentality,

113
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: but that's the shape I want our minds to be in.

114
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: That's the shape I want this football team to be in.

115
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Let's go do it. Let's get out here and do it,

116
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: and we're going to do it. Is the best way

117
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: there is to get together to enjoy the of what

118
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: we can do as a team this year, and let's

119
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: pull it off. So Jerry listening to that, that's an

120
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: awesome answer. And just to kind of further maybe as

121
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: a fan of the Cowboys, does that mean that you're

122
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: going to have kind of the roof open and the

123
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: gates open or you feel like, because you're talking about

124
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the air conditioning unit too, you can still if your

125
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: first home game is ninety grief, that you can have

126
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: it closed and still feel comfortable. Yeah, you're in the

127
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: weeds and you say, well, in one of the reasons

128
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: you have that roof that can shut and that you

129
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: air conditioned three million square feet out there. Isn't that

130
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: the reason for fan comfort? Well? It is. But guess

131
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: what we've always known if you open that roof and

132
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: just open one door, that you can suck like it

133
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: was a vacuum cleaner. We know the kind of air

134
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: flow you can create with a combination of those doors

135
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: and roof. So we will manage that and we will

136
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: play the game. I'm not the game literally but figuratively,

137
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and we will do what's best that time for that weather,

138
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: for the safest way to go. You say, what does

139
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: that mean somebody's going to get a little warmer than normal.

140
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: If it meant having the healthiest air flow, then you

141
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: might go that route to this game. This year, we're

142
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: going to all be doing a lot of things we

143
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: haven't done before, but we're going to be doing it

144
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: with a lot of thought. So without being specific, they

145
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: had the real specific answers. We're going to be flexible.

146
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: The reason I can make that statement is because we

147
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: have the facility that will make it flexible. We have

148
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: the willpower to do it. I'm not worried about air

149
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: conditioning Bill, and so that if I need to fog

150
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: it out out in the middle and air condition half

151
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: of North Dallas and our North Texas and we'll do

152
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: it to have that football game. We will probably have

153
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: forty million people watching it. Jerry Jones Hall of Famer

154
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: right here on your Home of the Cowboys one or

155
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: five three the fan. Jerry, you signed some big name

156
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: veteran free agents in the off season who have all

157
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: said they see this place as a path to the championship.

158
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: They've worked their careers for a How does that feel

159
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: to know that they see that this is that kind

160
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: of a place for you and be how did you

161
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: guys do that relatively cheap? Well, first of all, take

162
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: this mental picture. One of the great things about Zeke

163
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: Elliott is he's a great motivator and has been since

164
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: his rookie season. But sometimes before a game, Zeke has

165
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: been known to make a run around the dressing room

166
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: just kind of hitting himself on the bottom like you

167
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: were riding a horse, going whoopee, let's go, let's go.

168
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: And he run around the dressing room like that, and

169
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: of course and gets everybody fired up at at that

170
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: particular time. And so you know to answer your question,

171
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: I do see a talented group of players here. I

172
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: see the right mix of the younger players, have some experience.

173
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: We've added some real talent and with the draft and

174
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: frankly in the off season, so I think that is

175
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: going to actually be as good as I think that

176
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: I can remember when we've brought talent to the field.

177
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: They're certainly fluid. Fluid fluid in the sense that if

178
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they come out and you had

179
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: to play a quarter and a half for whatever the reason,

180
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: these guys can play a quarter and a half and

181
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: have a smile on their face. And I'm exaggerating. I'm

182
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: just saying everybody has got the mentality. Everybody's going to

183
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: be proud to be here. We're going to be prepared.

184
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: We know that we didn't get spring with a lot

185
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: of these guys to help them get better acclimated to

186
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: the new staff and coach McCarthy. We know we didn't

187
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: get that, but nobody else did even and so we're

188
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: going to make it do. We'll make it do again

189
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: or that series or that play. We're going to do

190
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the very bes we can there, and I think it's

191
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: more of a can do you know, I never got it.

192
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I never did get it. But my parents grew up

193
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: in World War Two. They were twenty years old in

194
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: World War Two, and they talked about it was hard,

195
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: it was tough. Everybody was tough, and boy, I mean

196
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: it was money was scarce, and everybody went to work.

197
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: And you saw some of the most beautiful women with

198
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: their sleeves rolled up and rolled up like a workman

199
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: and holding their arm up like a muscle. We all

200
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: are in this thing, let's get it done. But that

201
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: spirit really sustained this nation, not only during the war

202
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: but after that. I feel like that this is a

203
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: this is a real challenge the world has and we have,

204
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: and you know we talked about these social issues and

205
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the many challenges we've got there. Well, really, at the

206
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: end of the day, all I am is I just

207
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: run the Dallas Scout I'm serious, and I want to

208
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: do that and do my part and put this show

209
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: on this year and do it with a team that

210
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: hopefully is one of the best. Now, since you since

211
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned the social issues you talked about Grace in

212
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: your opening training camp press conference, have you had the

213
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to have any you know, follow up dialogues with

214
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, coaches, management, players or anything like that, and

215
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,479
Speaker 1: how has that all gone on a variety of complex

216
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: social issues. Well, first of all, I have since that

217
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: press conference, I've visited with everyone in our organization. By that,

218
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: I mean the coaches, staff, trainers, scouts, players. I've visited

219
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: with everybody and shared some of the very same thoughts

220
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: as well as other thoughts with them. And then I've

221
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: done it on a one way basis, which was kind

222
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: of expressing my thoughts a lot of people, not only staff,

223
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: but also players that haven't We haven't worked together before,

224
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: so there was an acquainting aspect to it. Now I

225
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: know these people very well. They got drafted and I

226
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: have probably a book. I'm talking about the players, but

227
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: it manifests itself, right, don't back through the coaching staff

228
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: and even the support staff. The coaching staff, I know

229
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: them very well. I've got books on them. That's what

230
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: you do when you come into football. You can find

231
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: out who their next door neighbor was when they were left.

232
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: So I know them well. They don't know me in

233
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: many cases that well. And so I've spent most of

234
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: my time over the past days and weeks just making

235
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: sure that they know where I'm coming rom and uh

236
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: I let some others do the talking for me. And

237
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: as you well know, I've got some guys that I've

238
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: been with in football for thirty something years, guys like

239
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin and and Emmett people like that, and they

240
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: can they can talk to these guys about the way

241
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: that I am. And uh so we've got each other's back. So, Jerry,

242
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I was back, and I think that's what I said

243
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: the other day when I was talking to everybody. I've

244
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: got their back. Everybody knows where I stand on the anthem,

245
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: everybody knows where the Cowboys stand. But I've got everybody's

246
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: back around here too, And uh well, we'll work to

247
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: it as it comes. So, Jerry, I know just yesterday,

248
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: uh lyall Collins was in a car accident. Can you

249
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: give us an idea of how he's feeling. Uh to

250
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: my to my knowledge, he's fine, to my mind, to

251
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: my knowledge, he's fine. What does find me? I know

252
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: that he was having some issues with just some things

253
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: on the football field, but I have not had anything

254
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: that noted something at this time this morning, this time

255
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: that I should note. Jerry, you told us earlier that

256
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: you have the best seat, and we all we all agree,

257
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: that's a fantastic seat you have there. Anybody jumping off

258
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: the field that you're like, that's the guy right there.

259
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him actually get into a game. Yeah. Well,

260
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: of course I've got to separate name or reputation sometime

261
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: with some of these veteran players what you're actually seeing.

262
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: But it always looks a little better if you come

263
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: in with a reputation like we've you know, got with

264
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: some of these free agents that we've had. You know,

265
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: fifty eight Smith is speaks for himself. Off you've guys

266
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: have noted him, and if you haven't, you ought to

267
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: read up on him. But let me say this, he

268
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: looks like he's ready to line up against the Giants

269
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: and are against the Rams. But of course that we

270
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: know well Lawrence Griffin. I've been able to freshen up

271
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: on him, talk to him just rightful practice day. And

272
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: but the guy that I knowed is ninety eight Crawford.

273
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: And Crawford is that we're and we know what he

274
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: is in his heart. You saw him down in Florida.

275
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: He's a bad boy. He's who you want on your

276
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: side now and uh boh. He looks on the edge

277
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: here and looks excited about the makeup of his defensive group.

278
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: I like some of these younger guys that we think

279
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I think he'll I had heard Tom Landry say that

280
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: don't ever make a crisp, hard decision, especially on a

281
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, until three years from the time they leave college.

282
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: You might get surprised, You might go when you should

283
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: have not gone in a decision. So Hill last year,

284
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: we'd like for him to have had more snaps, but

285
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: I'd say he's he's I'm going to note him out there.

286
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: We've got some rookies that might put some pressure for us.

287
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the either the stand up or pass

288
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: rushers or the down lineman and our front, and I'm

289
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: excited about the front on this defensive football team. And

290
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: if I had to say today of what that I

291
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: would note relative to past years, I'd say our front,

292
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: our defensive front. Well, that's excellent post practice insight right there,

293
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: and we're excited to get this going every single week.

294
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: Once more, Thank you very much for your time this morning,

295
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: sir guys. It is great to be on This is

296
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: old times and I feel, but I want us to

297
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: throw some new twists on this thing, so as just

298
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: don't let the circumstances do it. Let's have some fun

299
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: this year. Absolutely, and if at any point you want

300
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: to show us the air conditioning bill for the stadium,

301
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: I'd be all about that. Well, let me say this,

302
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: it's a little more than that. A little two bedroom

303
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: place that Jean and I lived in. We got married

304
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: in college and bore. The worst nightmare I had in

305
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: college and I was playing football while we were married,

306
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: was getting that air conditioning bill. I told my mama,

307
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: I said, I just thought air condition came with living.
