The bright side, okay, we're not the only 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.040 home team that has lost. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:02.360 That is silver linings. I was like, you know, this 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:03.440 would make me feel good. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.040 It felt like it made me feel a little better anyways, 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.880 because it because it showed you that it wasn't necessarily 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.360 just a fluke. Like we like, yeah, we went out 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.360 there and we played horrible, but we all know what 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.560 we thought about San Francisco before the Packers went up there, 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.119 like they had no shot and they had a. 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.640 Shot to win that game. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.759 And I mean, maybe it sounds cliche now you say 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.760 any given Sunday, but I felt like Lafloor again, not 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.319 for being familiar with him and seeing the way that 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.000 his team has responded to play since lending Gold, since 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.160 Aaron Rodgers departed. They gonna be a problem. That's a 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.680 problem growing over there. Jordan love Is is a quality quarterback. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.600 But man, this analytics egg is gonna get somebody fired. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.279 Analytics is gonna get already. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.840 It wasn't even like that. But I don't I just 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:03.560 don't understand it. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.920 When I that that that Green Bay game, I just 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:07.840 kept telling myself, why is the floor doing this? 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:08.920 Like you could have won? 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.280 He could have won that game making the right decisions, 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.720 getting down the red zone, going forward on fourth to one, 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.080 that's six. Those six points cost them cost them the game. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.240 It wasn't the only one. I don't understan what I 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.360 you know, we're talking about these games. Fourth? 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.680 Was it fourth and five in that game yesterday Buffalo 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.079 versus Kansas City in your own territory? 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.200 Think it was like on the thirty? What are you doing? 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:28.440 Man? 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.840 Your defense is played decently the entire game. Kick the 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.919 ball away, you're gonna go with a fake. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:38.959 Punt punt hamlet hal he played all year, don't touch it. 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.160 Give him the rock, Give him the rock right there. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.360 Let him come on, man, this guy's played running back 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.320 since high school. They're gonna put him in. They're gonna 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.960 put him a fake point. You be better better off 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.000 chance of letting Alan go out there and see if 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.880 they can get it. They're running the face punt. And 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.600 it's crazy too because if they don't run that fake punt, 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.680 then they probably don't get that phone through the in zone. 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:57.239 Right. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.320 But it's still a bad decision, right because you don't 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.480 know that's all about. Yeah, I'm just like, hey, man, 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.720 your defense has to play horrible. Yeah, they caught fire 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.640 a little bit, but you gotta you gotta still depend 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.000 on your defensive bible to make him play. At some point, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.280 I legit said when they did that fake plint, I said, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.360 that man is trying to get fired. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.160 They're trying to get fired. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:14.519 Me. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.080 Cole Harven saved the day. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.600 By the way, this players that's Berry Church has ser 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.760 knew he scruts. Yeah man, yeah so so. Kansas City 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:27.960 wins twenty seven, twenty four. Back in the AFC Championship Game. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.239 I thought the Bills would win this one. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.000 I did to I did. They missed some opportunities. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.200 Now dig digs with the drought like him with the 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.320 bad throat, Well he got hit, Okay, got it? 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.640 What what. They had an opportunity to win that game, 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.000 but he fumbled the ball and they didn't pick it up. Yeah, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.040 oh yeah, that was huge. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.440 They kept dropping dropping picks and so you know, I 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.760 hear both sides of the dan Olowski the days out 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.880 there on on ESPN, you know, caeping for Josh. 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.520 They did this run, this run. Man, that so lone. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.400 They be giving him so many excuses, like. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.320 They ain't watch the game. But I mean he has 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.080 some quality throws. I mean I was one throw I 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.080 think corner, not cornered, end zone right at the pile 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.680 on all you out. I was like, man, that's a dot. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.520 Only only him with his arm strength can make that 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.000 kind of throw. He better have some quality throws. Now, 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.920 I'm not saying you wrong. I'm just saying you better 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.640 have some quality throws. This Hey, let me tell you something. 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.800 Pacheco is helping the running back market hard man, because 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.360 you get a guy like that who you didn't expect 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.600 to do that last year, and you see it once 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.000 again it's not a fluke, right, And you see a 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.320 guy or like Gibbs who's also helping the running back 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.440 market where you say, okay, these are the type of 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.480 guys who deserve to get paid ten million dollars, eleven 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.119 million dollars. When you got guys you've seen the angle 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.320 route they ran out the back. Yes, but you have 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.560 to you gotta be able to do stuff like that. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.080 Christian McCaffrey, Gibbs, those type of guys. You got to 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.560 be able to do that. If you can't, you got 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:54.480 to run like Pacheco. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.480 He run like something wrong. What I'm talking about. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.280 To be able to close the game out like that, 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.719 get eight yards on first down right when everybody knows 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.200 you about to try to run the ball like. To 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.240 be able to do that, you got to be a 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.599 special type of player. So shout out, shout out to them, 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.520 because I've seen somebody saying something about all they can't 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:12.840 do nothing. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.800 Georgian Love can't do nothing without a run game. Gonna 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:15.320 tweet us. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.120 I said, all the teams in the in the playoffs 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.599 got a ring game. What are we talking about? They 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.040 use the running back? If they using I mean which 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.720 I mean which which one? Lamar and Hill and all 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.840 the guys dal you got, Dalvin Cook got out there, 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:30.920 had him a big time run. 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:32.320 Cook. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.719 Last night with Josh Allen, Running game Pacheco running game. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:41.839 I mean all these teams got Detroit. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.200 They all got running games. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.800 I don't want to hear like you have to be 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.480 able to do both play defense and run the ball. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:47.880 And I think that's when you look at the Cowboy 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:54.080 and you say, well, can't run the ball. This must 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:59.280 be nice. I wish I had one. But run out 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.840 the Clock is like those teams that we just talked about. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.600 They had that all season, like like we've been waiting 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.240 for the Cowboys to show up in the running game 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:08.839 and make sure you can stop the run on defense. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.960 And then said, okay, we're gonna limp into the playoffs 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.000 because we have two good games, a decent games where 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.719 we stopped to run. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.880 Team has been doing that all year. So that's your 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:22.280 hoping right now. It's the hope. Hope n oh man, 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:27.600 we're gonna unveil this running game.

What 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.679 was the beef about? She was just like just upsetting, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.080 saying that the train man get rid of them. That's 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.880 that's what I read. I haven't is anybody confirmed that 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:54.160 was really his moment. Allegedly I thought it was confirmed, 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:54.800 So I don't know. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.600 I don't know. I could be. I'm gonna say, allegedly. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.640 Morning News put it out there. They putting, they they 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.240 gathering it all together, putting pushing stories out there. So uh, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:11.280 con Tad Prescott responding out there and to the DAK stuff. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.760 Soas Michaeh's coming back, saying out my brother to speak 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:16.040 for me. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.240 Yeah, man, I'm in the Yord CD had yards and 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:21.640 kitchenes the CD have this year. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:22.440 How about this? 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.760 The man, the man was one vote away from unanimous 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.360 All Pro and that's not good enough. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.520 Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, that's you know, man, it's 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:32.400 it's it's wild. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.720 It's got to be a pr nightmare to have a 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.079 situation like this. But then at the same time, here 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.679 we go hot jacking the news as teams are playing 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.880 divisional rounds. But for all the wrong reasons. Man, I hated, 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.839 I personally hated to see it. And look, being from 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.800 an NFL family, I thank god that there was no. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.720 Social media around then. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.079 You know for my my uncles playing all coaching as well. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.920 It's tough, man, because nobody loves his brother more than 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.360 than Terrence does. He lives bleeds with his brother. So 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.280 when there's that disappointment, that's there. I know his words 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.400 are for the disappointment and hearing people come after his 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.120 brother on Twitter and in that space. So look, it's 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.880 a knee jerk reaction. But the truth is, man, we're 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.920 all hurting in that sense from a fan base, and 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.800 we can't separate him from his blood and what he's saying, 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.199 But it just looks horrible to everybody else. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:27.640 On the outside. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.439 You know, I will say this to bring it back 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.920 to the football realm. Is you know, when are you know, 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.800 these star players that we consider stars and you know, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.679 the upper echelon out of Cowboys, when are they going 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.760 to be able to take that next step into the playoffs. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.400 And lead the team. Because when we look at it other. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.360 Teams, Mahomes, he steps up for Kansas City, even Josh 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.560 Allen in some regards, stepped up for Buffalo to windows 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.600 playoff games. Look at what Jared Goff's able to do 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.480 out there. Those stars perform in big time games. When's 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.400 the last time, you know, we've seen the star studed 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.679 Cowboys perform and the big time playoff game I'll give you. 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.520 You know, last year with Tampa Bay, them boys went off, 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.160 they balled out, but that was against you. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:10.160 I was about to say, sailing Tampa Bay bucket. That's what. 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.520 When is this team gonna you know, the star is 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.959 gonna play like they do in the regular season. And 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.120 we come back to this word pressure. You know, we 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.760 come back to the word pressure. And I understand you know, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.319 we don't all you know, we don't like to hear 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.640 that word. But there has to be some type of 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.480 pressure on these players when they get to these big 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.000 time moments because they pale in comparison to what they're 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.640 able to do in the regular season. Can't But now 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.040 that the season though, can we just go ahead and 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.440 say this like and be real about it? Can we 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.319 be real about this? This this fact here, the competition 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.160 that we beat up on in the playoff, I mean 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.080 in the regular season. You said, because you just said, 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.920 we don't show up in the big time games, the 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.000 big time games that we played this season. Okay, the 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.920 Seattle Seahawks, the defense did not show up, Dak Prescott 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.400 showed up. But you look at Buffalo, no San Francisco, 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.400 no Detroit let us off the hook. We put up 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.320 twenty twenty one, twenty two, they let us off the hook, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.000 went for two three times. So when you looking at 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.520 Miami went up there, didn't play well. Like when you 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.520 look at the big time competition, the playoff caliber teams 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:11.760 that we played against, we didn't. 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:12.920 We didn't play well. 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.800 So I think now when you look back and you say, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.200 I think it's fair when people were giving that assessment 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.439 of hey man, when the Cowboys play against upper echelon teams, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.439 it just don't look the same as it looks when 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.040 we were talking about historically great defense or all of 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.480 a sudden, the like the flipping Swiss and Dak Prescott 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.079 in them looked different. Yeah, they look different, not against 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.600 not against the ones that have been playing since. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.080 The Week eight team, and it hasn't been the case. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:36.640 So to me. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.880 For me to feel comfortable going into the season now 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.079 that Mike McCarthy's coming back and we got the whole season, 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:42.880 I got to see us be we got we play 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.960 a first play schedule next season. When you play against 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.720 those teams, you have to perform. And that's the only 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.200 way that I'm gonna be able to sit through the 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.760 whole the whole season to be like I think we 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.160 got a shot, because other than that, twelve and. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:59.920 Five, I don't care. I got, I got. We're gonna finish. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.400 Let me go ahead and tell you right now, let 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.240 me get you ready, let me get you know, everybody, 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.400 get ready. We're gonna be twelve and five next year. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.920 We're gonna kill the regular season. We're gonna run through 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.559 the regular season, we're gonna beat some teams. Everybody may say, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.400 oh man, y'all supposed to losing those guys, but it's 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.880 not about that anymore. Nobody cares about that. What do 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.120 you do when you get to the playoffs and I'm 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.600 watching this, You guys have been watching the playoff games, 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.600 and all I'm seeing the team's competing. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.920 That's it. Green Bay didn't didn't bring me any. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.560 Resolve to see them lose, But I just love the 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.360 way that they competed, you know, and in a game 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.760 where I think everybody, even the pundits, were saying that 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.520 they gonna get ran out of the building, and they 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.600 didn't because they went out there and they competed Texans. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.160 They first, you said, you're looking at the game, you said, okay, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.839 offense didn't show up, defense showed up special, right, and 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.440 you're watching the game of course, like as we expected. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.520 Once lamartin them started getting hirt of figuring it out, 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.600 figuring it out, put that team who was literally who 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.760 we thought was playing with house money, new head coach 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:06.120 out qu rookie quarterback, right, like you didn't expect that 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.360 to be the case. When they went up to Baltimore 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:09.959 and they went up there and they look totally different. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.400 I think we are the one US in Cleveland. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.240 It was ten ten and a half. Yeah, it's ten 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.520 ten and a half in Baltimore. And then Lamar said 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.880 he pulled cut some folks out at halftime and it 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:21.640 was twenty four to other. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.400 Yeah, I mean they were playing for Cleveland. Didn't show up. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.280 That's what it takes. Cut some folks out of half time. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:35.120 Somebody did it. Yeah, that's NVP Loamorto. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:46.080 Hey one touchdown quarterback. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:52.400 That was good, really good. He the MVP. Man shout 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.480 out to him man because he looked, well, that's gonna be. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.080 It's some good football games going on this week. And 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.600 I'm telling you this, I'm not picking the Detroit lines, 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.440 but I show hope they win. I show hope like 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.760 I'm gonna continue. I got a guy on this coach. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.320 He's a live backer coach, Kelvin Shepard on the roster. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.840 And we've been talking about Dan Campbell and how these 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.160 dudes play for Dan Campbell and he has a coaching 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.480 staff full of former players and it's a reason why 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.800 it translates to what they from what they were to 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.600 what they are now because the belief that the players 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.200 have and the coaches because they've been there and they've 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.520 done it before and you just get to watch it 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:27.880 and see it and it looks different. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.120 Yeah. Can I ask you all question real quick? 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.120 Y'all think it's more important for the head coach to 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.520 be able to relate to these players and to get 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.600 the players to believe in them or having a guy 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.160 that's like a Shannonhan where his his system is what 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.840 it is and it's successful because it's a productive system. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.120 But do you think, you know, getting over the hump wise, 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.120 is it the coach that can relate to the players, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.120 not necessarily calling offense or calling defense, but motivating men 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.400 out there. Do you think that's more important quality of 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.400 a head coach or the ex'es and oo's that come 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.280 with it. I'm just gonna say this, and just talking 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.880 about Detroit man that they came out of that tunnel 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.680 looking like they were they were not gonna be denied, 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.640 and the way that they reacted and responded. I mean, 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.760 it's a back and forth game, but they responded, they competed, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.080 and I can only put that to their coach who everybody, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.640 like some people thinks he's a weird guy. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.240 You know, but man, nobody gets the attention of their 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.200 team like Campbell does, and they and they play for him. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.440 So I don't like the exis and knows that if 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.160 your scheme putting you first, you got to put them 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.520 in a position to be successful anyway as a coach. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.480 But the fact that they go out and they competed 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.760 the way that they did it speaks volumes about what 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.760 you just said about the coaching staff and the way 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.040 that they go out and compete for I think it's 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.080 I think it's the Dan Campbell type of coach. It's 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.720 the who do they respond to? Right, because I think 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.800 that lends to accountability, right because now when I think 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.400 if you're I don't know this to be true, but 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.440 if you're on the Detroit Lions and you miss a tackle, 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.040 somebody's holding you accountable. Either a coach or a player 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.640 is holding you accountable, but not knocking you down, but 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.600 saying they, man, hey, let's pick this up. If we 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.440 want to go, we need to go that. You need 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.120 to make sure that you're on your p's and q's. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.199 Oh you out of your gap? NaHg, we're not having that. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.600 All right, come over here, Let's make sure that we 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.320 own our stuff and if we lose the game, were 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.080 going in and we watching film as a team like 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.679 that type of stuff, that accountability. Because Dan Campbell has 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.679 made sure he communicated that all the speeches that you 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.600 see in on Hard Knocks and all that stuff, you 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.480 can tell that that is how the team operates, and 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.320 I think that is what makes a great team. Even 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.879 talking to Deware about what they had in Denver, He's like, 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.400 because we were a team and we held each other accountable. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.280 People help me accountable, I help Von like they held 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.240 each other accountable. And I think that is the mark 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.400 of a great team. And you see it in Detroit. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.960 Staying on what you're saying about holding people accountable in 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.320 the room, I think as a coach you can do 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.159 it several different ways. Chuck Noe wasn't sitting around yelling anybody. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.240 Tom Landry wasn't yelling at anybody. Tony Dudgy neither. But 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.359 they all held everybody accountable. You know, those men give 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.119 me that stare you should by John Shuo stand Jimmy 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.119 did it in a way more like Dann Campbell, and 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:04.240 it works. Dan obviously was under Sean Payton and Bill Parcells. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.160 They did it a certain way, but all of those 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.960 coaches held you accountable. And then the type of clubs 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.880 they had, the men in the room held each other accountable. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.600 And when I think about the. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:21.080 Cowboys right now, who's holding each other accountable in this room? 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.960 And when you all saw the videos that Emmett and 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.720 Michael Irvin put out there, and to me, the underlining 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.000 thing was these they were saying, too many of you 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.639 guys wearing the star are acting like you've done something 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.800 or you've put up a banner and you have not, 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.960 and it's embarrassing. I think it's embarrassing for the former 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.720 player when you talk to off camera and you just 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.720 get you know, unfiltered. It's now right right, they'll tell 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.800 you right now. They look at these like these guys. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.119 These dudes, well yeah, and then you go into the 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.000 weekend and you see the foolishness on social media, be 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.520 at your family or not. I'm still calling smoke where smoke. 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.199 Where there's smoke, there's fire. So somebody said something somewhere, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.240 But that is still a you to where when you're 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.160 talking about those type of guys and they look at them. 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:07.360 They say, oh, man, not my cowboys, Yeah, not my Cowboys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.040 I believe it. Adn't see that from Philly. Believe it 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.320
