It feels 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.440 like we're still so far away because it is on 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.640 Monday night. It's I think it's like, uh, like Micah 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.679 said on yesterday when he was asked, you know how 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.679 long does it feel like it will take for money 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.880 to get here? Especially going through the weekend and seeing 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.440 the you know, the weekend games as Wild called weekend. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.600 He was like, man, it'll we will blank it. It It 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.160 will be here. He was like, He's like, it's already 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.840 having this conversation yesterday, he was like, it's already Thursday, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.920 you know. So he was like, we're just gonna keep 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.080 our nose to the ground and keep going and then 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.600 we're gonna wake up and it's going to be Monday. Yeah, 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.200 that's kind of how I feel about it. I mean, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.440 from a fan standpoint, I get it because it's like, oh, man, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.600 I've been waiting eight days for this, right right facts. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.160 I agree that said, hoping that they give us a 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.000 reason to wait, And we had open locker room yesterday, 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.880 had a chance to talk to some of the guys, 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.200 and it starts to feel a lot more like they 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.959 hit the reset button after last week, and they're they're 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.679 kind of they're in a different mindset, at least from 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.840 what I was taking from the conversations I had. Patrick. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.040 I'm interested to see what you think. But in the 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.920 conversations I had, it's not what what we did wrong 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.480 against Washington, it's what can we do right this week 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.000 to put us in the right position to beat Tampa Bay. 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.080 I agree. And in conversations with Zeke and Micah and 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.640 you know jay Ron Curse, there's a coming thread, a 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.679 coming theme in the locker room, which is and Zeke 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.440 said it perfectly. He said, it doesn't matter what happened 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.040 to the regular season. Nobody cares anymore what happened in 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.480 the regular season. It's about right now, right here. You 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.720 gotta get it done it And Micah said, you know, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.880 the regular and this is a quote, the regular season 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.040 is cool. You guys get all hyped up, but this 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.680 is where legends are made. So that's that's where the 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.040 locker room is right now. I like it. You see 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.600 what did you hear what their locker room was saying? 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.959 What did their locker room say? Mike Evans called this 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:26.920 defense simple? Ooh m. He said, it doesn't matter. He 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.919 went for as long as we're healthy, it doesn't matter 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.480 what dbs are out there. M I like it. Would 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.160 you call this defense simple or is that just the 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.080 jab But the fact that it's not simple, I'm not 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.800 sure if he was speaking to the simplicity of the scheme, 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.240 if he was talking about the person. Now, okay, let's 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.920 talk about He talked about how their missing how Dallas 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.760 is missing two dbs, and you know number twenty six 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.160 is making a couple of plays. But that's about it. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.920 A couple That's what he said. He said, he said, 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.800 trayvonn he said, he said, Trayvon's all right. I mean, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.160 you know the first game, I mean he did. Okay, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.040 it gives me m M. You haven't if you haven't 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.360 heard his interview, gold watch his interview. It will light 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:09.880 you up. You know what that ties into was respectful Evans. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.040 You can tell he was hurting. He's Evans. He's taking 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:16.279 Treyvon Diggs personally. Listen Evans, Evans and Brady they were 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.120 on the sideline from their Sideline Sounds video last week, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.320 and they were on the sideline at the last game 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.960 in week eighteen talking about Brady's undefeated record against the Cowboys. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.599 They're kind of joking about it. They were. They were 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.520 asking Brady. They were like, what's what's your record against 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.760 the Cowboys? And he laughed and he was like six 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.359 and oh. I think he was like we were just 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.920 talking about this. Wow, aren't you playing the game? You 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.560 were just talking about Okay, So add that to what 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.640 Mike Evans is saying. And the Cowboys are not lacking 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.960 for bulletin board material. They shouldn't be lacking for motivation period. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.400 But why not throw these extra logs on the fire? 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.559 Can't wait? And what's crazy is Mike Evans is saying 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.240 what he's saying. But when I asked Trayvon Diggs specifically 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.680 about covering Mike Evans, Diggs had nothing but respect and 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.560 positive statements and praise for Mike Evans. U. So it'll 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.039 be interesting to see, you know, And I just want 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.200 to know. I know from a Brady standpoint where all 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.440 this cockiness comes from. I know from a Brady stamp 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.039 see but but TB twelve typically doesn't speak on it. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.800 But and that's why I was vary. That's why that 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.640 he was one of the main ones on the sideline saying, hey, 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.279 we were just talking about this. How high chuckle chuckle um. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.560 But that said, regardless of everybody can agree, TB twelve 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.839 has earned the right to be cocky. Okay, Mike Evans 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.120 even to a degree, you know, as many thousand years, 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.440 thousand yards receiving seasons as he's had. Okay, fine, fair, 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:40.520 but this season as a team. Where's the cockiness coming 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.280 from in Tampa Bay? That that's where I struggled to 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.800 try to figure it out, that where's the cocky? Don't like? Oh, 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.599 you know what, I love it. You know why I 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.599 love it? You know why I love it because people 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.440 who are that cocky let their guard down. Okay, And 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.839 when you let your guard down, tapped there you get 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.120 your nose tap, you get you get your gate rushed. Yeah, 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.039 and all of a sudden, I'm in the King's court. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.160 Could you be saying the same thing about what some 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.600 of the stuff is being said this week? I meany 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.280 Mica Partsons came out and said, F that list, And 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.119 there's stuff out there too, and siven that's not cocking, 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.479 that's not in reference to the other team. Yeah, that's 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.520 just wanted to make sure that's just been angry. He said, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.680 F that list. I'm in playoff mode. He didn't say, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.680 F that list, I'm about to go killing flo. Right. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.960 So if you look at what they're saying in the 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:31.359 locker room here, and and I believe it was was 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.520 it Mica or Zeke one or the other. I'd have 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.400 to check my notes, but one or the other yesterday 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.560 said that what happened in Week eighteen was humbling. It 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.640 was so brave, and that changed the energy in the 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.560 locker room this week as far as what needs to 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.240 happen and what cannot happen. So those are the types 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.479 of things coming out of the Cowboys locker room. That's 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.159 the antithesis of what's coming out of the Bucks locker room. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.360 They're it sounds like they're over there in Tampa feeling 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.320 like they're onto the divisional round before kickoff has even 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.039 started for the wild card round. That keep it, yeah, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.599 keep that energy, yeah, yeah, keep it. By the way, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:07.000 Trayvon Diggs against Mike Evans in week one, he allowed 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:11.200 three receptions on six targets for thirty three yards. He 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.520 did have to touchdown, but it was the fade route 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:14.920 in the back of the end zone that just took 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.800 a great Haven't seen his response to it, Like you 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.400 have to watch it, Like he feels some type of 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.320 way about it. He's speaking like yeah, he's all right, 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.360 but in his head he's like, oh, I'm about yeah, 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.640 it's going down like and then that's what that's the 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.360 energy do you feel for my is like he's taking 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.840 a difference and approach is funny because Diggs is like, yeah, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.880 you know, have a lot of respect for Evans, and 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.600 because he Diggs has won that battle twice in a row, right, 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.080 And so now Diggs goes in smiling, smiless because he's like, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.120 that's confident, Yeah, Evans. Evans feels some type of way 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.400 about the effectiveness that Diggs had on No true competitor 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.000 likes to feel like somebody has that has that hedge 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.400 on you. So when Evans is speaking about it, he's like, yeah, yeah, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.160 I mean, you know he did. I mean, he was 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.640 a I you know what I'm saying. I mean, you know, 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.120 he didn't want to give him full credit three for six. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.920 By the way, last year it was one reception on 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.559 five targets and he had an interception. I mean, Diggs 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.200 is locked down Evans twice, right, So to that point, 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.360 I believe hearing him speaking, I feel as if Mike 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.000 Emma's most likely has had a conversation with TV twelve 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.560 saying I'll refuse to go out this game with those 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.920 say with that same stat line. Yeah, And what I 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.320 mean by that is, I think they're gonna try to 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.360 come at Digs, and I hope they do. And I 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.120 was just about to say that. A couple of reasons why, 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.280 I really hope that comes to fruition number one. And 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:39.080 most importantly, if you're targeting Digs of that frequency, hawk 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.240 of that nature, it's he's going to get at least 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.679 one interception. But also as equally as important, if not 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.960 more so, if you're targeting Diggs, guess who you're not 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.560 targeting the cornerback on the opposite side of the field, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.800 whomever that might be Nashan Right, Xavier Roads, whatever the 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.200 case may be. So now you would worry less about 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.400 Brady testing that CB two spot because he's so busy 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.080 testing CB one, and testing CB one will get you 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.839 one of two interceptions. So it by all means yap 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:10.760 it up, mister Evans. Yeah, do it outside of the 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.040 top all, outside of n Sean Right and and some 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.400 of the other guys on the back half. I'll leave 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.120 Bland and Digs out of this conversation. Who needs to 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.719 step up and have the best game safety wise or 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.120 or secondary wise, sorry I meant secondary. It's got to 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.440 be Nation right. Yeah, I don't think you'd be fair 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.520 to say have your Roads he just got here. I mean, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.520 you hope and you would like for him to reach 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.640 tap into that former All Pro and former three time 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.839 Pro Bowl status that he has and has demonstrated over 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.200 the course of his NFL career, But which one has 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.800 been in the program longer. It's Nashan, right, So I'm 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.800 right there with Zaia. Okay, any news and notes coming 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.160 out of yesterday with some positive, positive news and notes, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.040 positive love, especially going into a win or go home situation. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.079 I love that Cowboys injury report is slimmer than those 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.800 cigarettes from Virginia. Tyler Biadish was back on the practice 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.600 field effective on Wednesday, but first injury report came out 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.360 on Thursday, which was effectively Wednesday as far as the 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.920 scheduling goes practice wise. But he was a full participant, yes, 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.440 so there's the the evidence to what he was saying 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.320 the day before. As far as being a full goal, 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.120 he is in fact the full goal late in Vanderesh, Oh, No, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.160 you can't just blow by that like that. No, we're 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.080 not just blowing by it. But we got something equally 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:35.719 important late in Vanderesh. Full participant. Okay, there's two for two. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.800 That's two for two. So let's let's take a moment 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.240 to go ahead and basking and both of those Syler 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:45.000 Biadas being here is is of most upmost important. Yeah, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.880 we ranked it yesterday. It's upmost important because you give 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.040 this office a line back its leader. I don't know 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.280 when I say leader, I'm talking about the shot caller. 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.920 The way the way I put it, we asked that 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.680 in the mail bag. We entered the mail bag this 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.360 week about it, and the way I put it was 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.680 he may not be the anchor of that offensive line, 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.360 but he certainly is the glue. Absolutely, that's exactly what 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.520 Tyler is. He's not the anchor. Zack Martin is the 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.880 an absolutely, he always has. Absolutely, but Tyler Beatis is 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.120 the thing that keeps that. He's the chain that keeps 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.720 it tied to the boat. Yeah, see me and glue. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:24.720 We ain't talking about no Elmers. Okay, I'm sorry, the 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.800 animal sponsor. But either way they need to be all right. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.560 He is so important and I don't know if everyone 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.480 out there understands the importance of his role. Having the 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.960 center playing in the game, in the most important game 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:44.520 of the year, settles. Settles sets your foundation, because you've 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.640 had a foundation that's a little shaky, right, you know, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.240 It's like it's like it's like my house, like I 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.760 live on one side of the street. Nobody on my 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.839 side of the street house foundation problems. But across the 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.800 street is kind of like a little elevated heel, like 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.480 a little little fake heel. And I'm not telling about 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.040 where I live, but everybody across the street, everybody across 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.440 the street has foundation problems, and they have to put 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.200 pillars in and they have to find out ways to 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.280 just settle the storm and make things just just just work. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.320 That is what's been happening over the past a little 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.760 bit without Tyler Biada is really being in there right. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.520 So now that he's back, Ah, they move back to 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.120 the good side of the street. Okay, they're on the 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.640 good side of the street. Now, Now you can put 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.720 guys where they're supposed to be. Now you don't have 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.720 to ask guys to play out a position. Now you 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.960 can put your guy mcgovernent back where he goes. You 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.280 can bump your boy Tyler's mill back outside, and you 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.720 can tell Peters, hey, we appreciate you, player, but go 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.720 rest those knees, okay, Patrick style Okay, And then you 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.920 said and you're able to go out there and do 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.640 what you need to do in the running game, because 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.800 you have to have a running game against this three 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:45.000 four aka five two front. You gotta have it, and 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.480 you need that dude calling the shots and being able 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.559 to to to decipher what is being presented to them, 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.800 call out the mic, be able to tell everybody exactly 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.400 what the call is, having a cadence, right, that dak 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.439 having a cadence in order in terms of what those 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.080 guys are doing our front, because having different centers, right, 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.520 we're talking about tens of seconds, those things matter, right, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.240 talking about penalties, fall stars, presnap penalties, all those type 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.760 of things matter when you change up, change up the center. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.320 So now things go back to order. Okay, where we 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.040 have We're back in We're back in symmetry. Right, it's 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.160 no different. We threw somebody else in here and Kyle 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.080 wasn't here one day, Like it's it's gonna be different. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.439 It's gonna be different, right, It's gonna get the job done. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.960 Might get the job done, but it's not the same, right, Okay, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.240 there might be a couple of hiccups. They want to 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.640 be the same, Okay, So in the chemistry is different. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.839 So right, So I'm happy. I'm happy. Van dursh is 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.280 back to Okay, okay, I'm eating the thrill. They're both back, 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.079 no doubt. Equate that to the defensive side of the 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.000 football too. How does Layton vander Esh help call out 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.480 things and solidify that front because he may not be 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.560 the anchor of his own defensive front, but he might 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.920 be the glue of that side as well. Confidence the 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.079 excellent point. It's all about the confidence of vander Is 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.040 being in there calling the shots. He's hearing to play 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:53.800 from the coach, and he's being able to communicate that 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.920 out there, been there since twenty eighteen. Dude, you look 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.440 at when you look in the eyes of somebody who's 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.520 calling those plays out right, they know that you are 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.200 the captain on that side of the ball. You're the 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.120 man on that field. Okay, when that man is not present, 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.360 I'm hearing you, right, I don't know if I I 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.520 don't know if I believe you. Right, I hear I 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.199 hear the call, But I don't have the boat of 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.480 confidence I had when Vanderes is in there right when 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.120 he tells me, slaps me on the button, says, hey, 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.360 shift over the one one gap right, okay, Well, coach 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.840 said on paper to ship get over one gap. I'm 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.320 telling you, because what I'm seeing you're not seeing. Get 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.320 where you need to go. It's gonna give us the advantage. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.600 Those are the advantages that having somebody in there, like 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.280 a Vanders at the middle linebacker position, is going to 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.480 give this defense. When he's able to see things. I 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.760 would imagine he probably watches more film than everybody. I 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.440 hope he watches more film than everybody. Sean Lee, absolutely right, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.800 Sean nobody watched more filman Sean Lee. So those guys 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.040 are able to depict things that are that might be 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.320 little hints, little tails, right that Tom Brady or I'm 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.680 say not Nece necessarily Tom Brady, but the offensive line 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.600 I've seen it on film. Offensive line gives out right 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.640 and when those little tails are there and maybe nobody 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.120 else sees it, but Vanderes does, he could put your 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.160 team in position to make the play. Ye when you're 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.840 talking about Beaddish and Vanderes, you're talk about the two 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.880 non quarterback quarterbacks of their respective position. So Tyler Biades 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.120 is in fact the quarterback of the offensive line, while 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.800 Zak is the anchor. It's Tyler Biada's point now pre 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.880 snap protections and things like that. On the opposite side 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.880 of the ball, Layton vander esh he's your quarterback of 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.600 the defense. He might not be, I mean, he's not 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.680 Michael Parsons as far as the leader of the defense 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.760 or Marcus Lawrence, but he is in fact the quarterback 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.160 that has to call out pre snap motions and reads 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.760 and protections and things like that. So and I love 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.400 what Isaiah said in the aspect of there's a difference 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.520 when you're starting Mike is in there and he's your 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:37.880 green dot because McCarthy said it describing something different, but 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:42.320 it applies here as well. When McCarthy said, sometimes you're 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.960 telling somebody something and they're looking at you and they're 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.760 hearing you, but they're not really hearing you until like 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.800 the other parent comes in and says it one time, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.360 and all of a sudden, it's like, oh, I get it, 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.680 and and you're looking at him like, come on, I 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.040 didn't just tell you that one hundred times. That It's 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.160 a similar situation when when lve is telling you about 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.080 pre snap mobile reads and protections and says it taps 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.360 you and say shift left, there's no second thought, there's 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.160 no oh well, coach. No, it's shift left right. So 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.320 that's the two fantastic readditions for the Cowboys and time. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:15.000 It couldn't be perfect. And to that point, as far 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:19.080 as key players returning, Jonathan Hankins remained right now, he's 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.120 not on the injury report, but he's not on the 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:26.320 injury report because he remains technically on IR. So the 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.360 Cowboys would have to add him to the fifty three 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.600 man roster at some point before the game on Monday, 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.200 but they have time to do so. He continues to 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.000 contend he feels great. He told me on yesterday when 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.280 I asked him about his odds of taking the field 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.960 on Monday, he said, the time is now end. Quote, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.320 there is there an extra spot for Hankins right now 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.680 to come off of R Yes, yes there is because 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.320 they've only got fifty two on the right right and 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.760 and Shepley was waived, so they have they have space there. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.320 Got you now one compliment that I got yesterday to 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.080 Layton vander esh and just kind of going after that conversation, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.000 I was sitting down, I sat down with Jake Ferguson. 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.119 I was one on one with Jake yesterday and I 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:12.960 asked him her delicious. I asked him who is he 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.960 really drawn from? Who is he picked up pieces of 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.280 how to prepare for a playoff game from? And being 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.520 a tight end? I expected him to say Dalton Schultz, 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.800 and he did. He said Dalton Schultz right off the bat. 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.040 The second name out of his mouth wasn't one that 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.240 I anticipated. It was late in Vanderesh. He said, I've 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.920 been watching Laton Vanderesh from the moment I got here. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.560 The way that he carries himself, the way that he practices, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.720 the way that he plays. It all lines up together, 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.320 all though the preparation that he does in the film room, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.520 all of the stuff that he does on the practice field, 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:46.960 and then of course what he has done this year 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:52.720 playing exceptionally wellful or exceptionally good football. It translates to guys, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.480 even on the opposite side of the ball, even on 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.119 guys that are playing a completely different position. Why is that? 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.400 Because infections When you see people doing things the right way, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:06.359 and you see it the the what's the word I'm 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.719 looking for? I can't think. How are you saying LV 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.879 is the right kind of guy? He is, He's proved it. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.880 I just said that. The Garrett now he is. I mean, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:19.800 so the Garrett fans out there see the fruition of 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.080 somebody's preparations show up on field like you want you 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.840 want that? Like you want that yeah, and there's there's 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.280 I had that along the way from a lot of 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.200 different guys. So to his point, every stop that I had, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.040 most likely in my first really my first three years, 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.280 there were guys that I watched didn't necessarily always tell them, 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.320 but I watch how they prepare. I watch how they 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.560 approach practice. I watch how they prepare for practice. I 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.160 watch how they approach walkthroughs. I watch how they studied film. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.000 Like there was a guy watched them in the weight room, 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.359 watched them in conditioning, Like these are guys that you 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.080 sit back as a young puppy and you're like, dang, 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.480 that's okay, that's what I want. That's why I what 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.200 I inspire to be, Like, right, I don't necessarily want 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.280 to be that player, but I inspire to add those characteristics, right, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.080 and those attributes to what it is that I do 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:03.960 so that I could become a better player, which is 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.760 exactly that puts Lve in the same air as far 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.720 as preparation and reverence for the younger guys who are 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.440 looking up to players as Tyrn Smith and Tyrand's preparation 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.040 and how he practices. Hell, yesterday, Michael Parsons was talking 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.240 about how in the d line room they always talk 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.000 about hating going up against Tyrn Smith, even it walkthroughs, 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.720 because everyone else is walking through, but Tyrn is one 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.359 every single rep, every single snap, and you walk up 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.320 to him thinking in a walkthrough, Okay, well this is 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.600 just going to be a tap tap and he leaves 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.399 two marks on your chest, right. And so Lv is 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.280 having that kind of an influence, a positive influence on 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.440 a guy like Jake Ferguson on the offensive side of 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.960 the ball, similar to what Tyren Smith is having on 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.639 the defensive line, and some of those guys on the 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:50.880 defensive side of the ball saying, hey, this is how 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.040 you have to prep to be not only a professional, 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:57.520 but have an elite career. And unfortunately for Lve, the 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.760
