WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Where's The Weakness? 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:03.720 Following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.280 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for a break? 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:13.119 Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready for a break. Yeah, 0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:17.000 and so much for that. It's time for the Break 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:23.400 on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.400 and Bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hi, guys, welcome to 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.120 Cowboys Break. Another episode that it's that was supposed to 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.680 be happening at a golf course today when the Cowboys 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:41.040 host their annual golf tournament, but it is pouring in 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.280 the DFW area, so that's kind of I'm not sure 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.519 if there's gonna be a show happening later today or not. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.360 I'm sure there's a golf tournament later here, but there's 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.280 still something that will happen over there with the media. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.640 Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Jason Garrett, maybe a couple of 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.080 players will talk. But in the meantime, welcome Brian brought 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.640 us here in the show. We also have Danny McCray 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:09.560 here with us. How are you doing? He? I like 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.640 the there we go, there we go. Ready to talk 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.679 some football, Yeah, of course, always that's life. Football is 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.200 life all right, let's start with some questions and then 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.640 we'll have about we'll get into some interesting stuff that 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.360 you are doing here with the Cowboys in some camps 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.479 that are gonna be happening in the near future. First 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.120 of all, I wanted to talk about we're here. Yeah, 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:37.280 it's okay. Wasn't your name mentioned in the intro? That's 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.240 a great point. We got a special intro for you. 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.959 Good point. Alright, has it been accurate in like the 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.039 last three months, because we haven't all four been together, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.400 so I couldn't forget about that, all right? Sorry, go ahead. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:53.200 DeMarcus ware he's a guy that obviously has been very 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.680 close with the Cowboys special even last year he came 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.600 in a few times, helped DeMarcus Lawrence help the d 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.560 line coaching stuff. He he talked about him wanting to 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.400 be involved a little more this year and coming in 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.840 a couple of days of weeks and instructing the teams, 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.360 and one of the things that he said was how 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.000 he feels that this team has what it takes basically 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.160 to get it done this year. And that made me think. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.079 There have been several people that have come out this 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:27.040 offseason mentioning or expressing that same feeling towards this twenty 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.880 nineteen Cowboys team, and I wanted to get your insight. Obviously, 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.600 I'm one, I'm one of the first to hate to 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.000 start talking about Super Bowl this early in the year. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.200 But you've been here for many years, You've watched the teams, 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.720 and I wanted to see, how does this team talent 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:49.799 wise and mentality wise, feel any different from any of 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.919 the other years. The difference for me is the other 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.320 years that were Super Bowl contending teams, I think you 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.000 felt a little bit more confident at the quarterback position 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.320 with from an experienced standpoint, but I do think this 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.160 is this is a really good football team. And I 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.560 think a lot of people forget that part because it's like, well, 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.640 they didn't draft him, or they lost here in the 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.640 playoffs all that. But when you think about balanced teams, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.440 to have a really good running game, a good offensive line, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.240 probably great offensive line. They got playmaker receiver, got got 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.160 veterans that are coming back into this like Frederick and Witton. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.240 Defense is young and fast and good. I think this 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.639 is a really really good football team that came compete. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:35.840 I really appreciate this situation that we're in because my 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.680 opinion doesn't matter. The ownership has kind of set the 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.760 tone for what the expectations are by not renewing Jason 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.200 Garrett's contract. That kind of says everything you need to 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.120 say right there. This is a talented football team. They 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.520 need to make the playoffs. They need to make a 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.640 run in the playoffs probably for this to be considered 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.800 a successful season. If that wasn't the case, Jason Garrett 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.960 would probably have a new deal even go back. So 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.120 I think most people would probably say even though the 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.880 twenty sixteen Cowboys win thirteen and three, I think most 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.920 fans would say the twenty fourteen team is the best 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.720 team that they've had in recent memory, like in this 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.400 iteration in the Jason Garrett era of the Cowboys. Is 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.240 that fair to see? Yeah, you know, Dad's I would 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.839 think the sixteen team. I think the sixteen team, to 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.840 go to Nick's point, to win at Green Bay, to 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.160 win at Pittsburgh with a rookie quarterback really good. But 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.680 but I think people have more faith in the quarterback 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.960 to pick things up when things weren't going well. I 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.760 thought you were going the right path the way you 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.160 were talking, well, let me, let me, let me when 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:36.880 you started this out, I thought you were letting the 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.479 right path. Let me continue down that path. Then I 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.000 got distracted. Point being, I think most people would say 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.119 twenty fourteen is the best team of Jason Garrett's tenure. 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.520 Expectations for that team were not good. They were actually 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.520 really bad. Like Jerry Jones, who's the eternal optimists, said 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.080 before the season started, like we know we got an 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.360 uphill battle, Like he basically was like, we might not 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.560 be very good after years of getting his butt kicked 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.200 predicting super well. And then you know, they're one debatable 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.640 call away from the NFC Championship game, and I know 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.400 Green Bay would have got the balling way shut up, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.760 it doesn't matter. Point being is the expectations for this 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.120 team are high and should be high. Like where's the 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.400 flaw on this team? I guess the coaching staff? Oh, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.200 kind of like how I started this thing off. Well, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.120 now this is where No, this is because I'm not 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.000 saying just because I'm a critical of Jason Garrett, but 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.760 Nick just described and I think we all agree it 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.200 is a very talented team. It's a very deep team. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.880 What do we know about Kellen Moore? That's the thing. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.200 But yeah, that's and when I talk about coaching, I'm 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.279 not just trying to pile on Jason Garrett like I 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.120 do every day. But I'm just trying to say, if 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.640 we understand what Christopher Shard now, if if Kellen Moore 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.920 has the same results that say that we had from 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.760 Chris rah Shard, I think you'd have to be pretty 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.120 happy this team might be on the way up. If 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.720 Kellen Moore has as good as an impact as Christopher 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.440 Shard did in his first year, this team should at 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.080 least be playing now now Nicks Knicks analysis and your analysis. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.880 I'm sure Danny's gonna say the same thing about the team. 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.800 The talent maybe won't. What is Danny gonna say? No'm 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.320 saying it's interesting, but I'm gonna say this, though I 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.640 thought you were going down the path, I don't know 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.640 what Kellen Moore is. I have people tell me what 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.599 Kellen Moore is, but I don't know what Kellen Moore is. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.840 He could come in here and he could work his 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.400 magic just like christ Shard did. And this was a 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.680 top ten defense, top ten scoring defense. You know, it's 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.840 just till the bitter end they got run over by 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.680 two teams that are really good offensively. But I think 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.720 the biggest question about this team is not the talent 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.359 or the quarterback or anybody else. It's the coaching staff. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.960 And came Kellen Moore, And let's let's be honest too, 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.960 Mark Colombo, you know, halfway through the season, right coming in. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.200 So I'm I'm interested. I think the thing that could 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.160 hold this team back is if you if they're if 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.600 they're they start off initially and Kellen Moore doesn't hit 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.760 the ground running, then that talented team could very well 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.880 have some problems. You know, we asked Danny to come 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.359 on the show and talk a little bit about the 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.400 camps and all of a sudden like we'll get to them. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:13.560 But yeah, like you know, I'm not one of those 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.040 guys that likes to go Super Bowl, uh, you know 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.480 before the season starts. So I think, yeah, right, I 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.080 think the team is talented. I like what you said 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.520 about the coaching staff, but I think that we have 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.840 to understand that it's Kellen Moore and John Kittner that yeah, 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.560 that or the question marks. And I played with John 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.960 kitten so I do have faith in him to pick 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.160 things up if it doesn't start well. For for Kellen 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:37.920 and I think he saved the season. I mean he 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.200 got he got Jason Garrett's job. Help. Yeah, five and 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.200 three down the stretch, he got him his job. Yeah, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.000 so yeah, so yeah, I believe he can do it. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.120 And the questions only But you don't know Kellen Moore. 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.640 I don't know Kellen Moore. But I know that I 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.720 know the leader that Kittney is. Yeah, and I know 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.760 that he will be in Kellen Moore's ear and there'll 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.480 be he have a lot of imprints on that. On 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.920 the offense. I don't give Danny enough credit for how 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.400 old he is, Like, yeah, you did play with John Kittner, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.360 Damn man, that was ten years ago. You know one, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:14.239 I just made thirty one in March football not football football. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.600 But no, you know, are you just say what are you? 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.760 What are you thinking about? Because to me, we always 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.160 talk about the talent on this team. We all feel 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.040 like they're doing the right things. I think, where are 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.680 the questions? Where are the where are the true questions 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.800 of this team? You think they could you think they 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.080 would want to upgrade safety? We don't need to go 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:38.000 down that questions. I got some questions for other than that. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.720 I mean Yeah, the rest of it is really on 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.360 the coaching staff. It's like, look around, Okay, it's the NFL. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.640 Somebody that's supposed to be good is going to be bad, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.400 and somebody we're not talking about it's gonna be good. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.360 Happens every single year. But like looking around the NFC 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.080 right now, you got to say, this is one of 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.840 the five best rosters in the conference, Saints, and that's 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.520 why the pressures on That's why the pressures on Jason Cowboys. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.040 I think that's to your point, absolutely, that's why they 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:06.760 didn't extend him that That's exactly my points. The expectation 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.600 has been set for me. I don't have to have 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.880 my own expect When when we say coaching staff too, 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.439 I think we need to point out that, I mean, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.760 there is a question about well there is in my mind. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.360 I don't know what other people think. I really like 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.240 Dak Prescott, but I don't about to pay him, I 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.679 hope you know. But I'm saying, is the coaching staff 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.680 better make him into the type of player that he 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.640 needs to be. He can't just go out there and 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.400 throw the ball around like like Drew Brees and Tom Brady. 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.200 He's not that type of player. They've got to make 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.240 sure he's the guy that's running flipping over, getting them 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.240 third and five and getting those six yards and getting 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.400 him on the move and making him be the type 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.160 of player he can be if they're going to pay him. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.160 All that money goes back to Kellen Mortal goes back 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.200 to the coaching staff. That's when I say coaching staff, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.360 they've got to put they got to be Dak friendly. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.320 Forget the other guys around there. They got to make 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.360 sure that Dad can be the type of player he 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.960 needs to be and that stand him in the pocket 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.280 and make him throws. They're gonna lose games that way 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.960 because there's coordinators that will outsmart the other team and 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.120 then that the Cowboys by doing that. In my opinion, 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.400 and it's very rare when you see that the talent 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.280 is able to surpass everything that the coaching staff is 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.280 about you. When you talk about the talent, there's there's 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.120 very few cases where you have just a group that's 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.880 so talented that they will just make it happens however 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.400 it is. Yeah, there's sometimes though, there will be talent 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.439 that overcomes bad coaching. Right, There's sometimes that happens that 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.560 no matter it's very rare. But if you do have 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.240 the type of team that no matter you know, what 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.080 situation the coaches put him in, the players will find 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.480 a way to win. Ninety four could very well be. Yeah, 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.800 I mean that's that's not that's not that No, you're not, 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.360 but you're being very honest. There will be people that 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.920 give that those teams. That's those are Jimmy Johnson built teams. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:56.720 And they're saying despite Switzer's inability to really understand the 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.640 pro game, that he benefit from a very talent into roster. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.920 What happens different that people can benefit around the area 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:14.920 and have kids that want to be involved some camps 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.280 that the Cowboys are going to be hosting. Yeah, so 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.400 we have our camps coming up and then so these 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.280 little guys that we coach will hopefully one day be 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.720 some of the guys that are being talked about on 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.959 this podcast. So we have three day camps starting June third, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.200 and they run all the way through August seventh and 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.160 first through seventh grade. And we get these guys in 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.079 here and they're coached by former NFL players, me being 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.280 a former Cowboys player. And on the third day, we 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.320 have a current Dallas cowboy player come out and speak 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.920 to the kids. So we have great drills, great great teaching, 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.760 great learning, learning experience for the kids, boys and girls, 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.840 Boys and girls. We also do cheerleading camps, so those 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.000 girls who want to come out and cheer for their 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.920 brothers and their friends, we have that as well. And 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.840 the boys and girls for football as well. Boys and 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.480 girls for football, Boys and girls for chi leading. Okay, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.040 this is happening at the Star. Yeah, eight camps at 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.199 the Star. We have four at the stadium and one 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.280 at the Baylor Sports Performance Center which is directly next door. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.000 How'd you getting hooked up in this? I mean, I 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.280 know you when what was your last year playing? Two 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:19.280 years ago? Fifteen? He was a Benz watcher of TV. Yes, yes, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.040 we'll bring him back to do Game of Throw. It's 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.560 another time, right. We could talk about this all day. Um, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.959 So I retired, Well, I didn't get called back, and 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.480 then I sit at home for a little bit, and 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.360 I figured I need to go back to school. I 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.320 get my NBA and I get my MBA, and I 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.360 started applying for jobs. And I'm realizing that the football 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.920 resume is a little it's a little shallow, it's a 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.120 little didn't have enough stuff on there. So I apply 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.240 for an internship to go work an office. They called me, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.880 they accept me, and I go there for six months 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.120 and I learned a little bit of the ins and 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.920 out sort of other corporate field of things. And I 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.760 come back and I'm still sitting at home, like I 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.520 have no idea what I want to do. I've done 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.280 all this and I still have no idea. So I 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.880 reach out to a few people here at the Cowboys 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.160 and the rest is history. Danny went, kid, did you 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.400 ever go to camps? Did you ever go to football camps? Went? 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.959 I went to a few football camps. I'm from Houston, right, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.240 we're in Our football camps were at the middle school 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.920 in high school. So it wasn't NFL players coming back 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.320 our teams. It was our coaches saying, Hey, the campus 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.200 at school and you need to be there. But you 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.600 have a vision for your camps of what you want 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.120 these kids to learn. I mean, your experienced only it's 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.839 an NFL player, but your only experiences at camp. You 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.080 want to make this fun for these kids, but you 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.360 also want these kids to get something out of it though, right, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.840 I mean, that's that's really the whole idea. So we 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.480 do drill skills and education for us. And so what 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.000 we do is we want to one we their first 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.800 dough seventh grade, right, so we want to make sure 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.360 they're having fun. Right. Kids like to compete. They do 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.640 like to compete. They want to compete, whether it's racing 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.360 each other, they like to compete. So we put the 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.000 competition aspect in it. We teach them a little bit 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.920 about sleep and education and New Trician and then we 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:02.800 let them get out there and compete for a flag 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.480 football trophy that is a replica of a Super Bowl trophy. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.840 So they get photo ops and they get them on stage. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.680 And where was this for me? Yeah? Yeah, I could 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.440 have done something with my life athletically. You know. Now, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.600 I doubt that we have many mothers listening to this. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:23.240 I don't know, But for those mothers and women that 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.640 are concerned about kids playing football and the safety of 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.600 their kids, how do you guys do this? Is it? 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.360 What kind of football is it? How much contact is there? So? 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.440 How safe are the kids to go out there and 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.920 compete if it's a kid that hasn't done it before? 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.200 So so one over, I believe like the last eight years. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.600 Flag football has become the biggest growing sport in the nation. Right, 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.840 so the right parents are worried about the kids getting hurt, 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.560 so they're starting to let them start off in flag 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.960 football six man football, So we incorporate flag football and 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.840 those type of drills into our camps. Our camps are 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.920 non contact, so they won't be tackling each other, they 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.480 won't be hitting each other, so there's no risk of 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:08.080 that at our camps. Our skills also translate into it 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.800 if you have a kid who just is interested in 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.480 the football but not really sure if that's what they 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.320 really want to do, and the soccer player, our drills 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:19.840 translating into soccer, basketball. Pretty much any sport. You can 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.920 get quicker, faster, and better any sport by coming our camps. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.040 But if you have like a big lineman that is 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.760 a sophomore in high school and he's thinking I could 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.400 go and play Division one football, there's camps for that. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.320 He needs to come. On May eighteenth, which is next Saturday, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.200 to our big man camp, we will have them so 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.240 we will have former NFL alignment and defensive alignment out 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.840 there coaching these guys and teaching them those little ins 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.480 and outs like the markets where it wants to do. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.440 Here for the Cowboys, you go, So, how do people 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.560 sign up for this?

The Collois Break. 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.760 We talked about camps, we talked about coaching staff in 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.760 the talent. Now I'll have another question. I know there 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.200 are are a lot of people out there that don't 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.880 really get to be around here obviously, and wonder about 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:13.919 people's dynamic like relationships, the environment, the dynamic, the energy, 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.600 the players being on the same track as long as 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.040 with the coaching supporting Jason Garrett. How is that? Did 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:26.359 they get upset? Is there some traction there happening? And 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.440 I wanted to talk about that whole locker room environment. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.040 Obviously we haven't had the chance to be in there 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.199 this year yet, but it's happening soon. But we know 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.000 most of the veteran guys it's pretty much the same. 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.960 How do you feel about the dynamic around the locker 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:46.199 rooms and the players and their relationship between the coaching staff. 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.320 If you've got a social media account, you don't need 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.040
