1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Right now, brought to you by Ford Built for Texas,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Built for you. Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones,

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, Hey, Good morning, Davin, gry Mike, Good morning. Absolutely. So.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: I know how in tune you can be with the

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: fan base, and the fan base is all over the

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: place today. Some are super excited about how close the

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: game was. Some are frustrated because they thought there were

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: plays there to win the game. Where do you fall

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: about last night's game and the concept of the moral victory, Well,

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: that was opening night. We were playing the World Champs.

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: What an opportunity for a victory against again David and Goliath,

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: and we played well. We've got to the ones that

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: don't want them acknowledge, and I'm one of them. A

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: moral victory of what I see is a defense that

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: is going to get better. We had the athletes to

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: get better, we had the scheme to get better. We

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: were praying quality competition. I was really proud to see

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: the good things that occurred during the ball game. We've

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: got to really help on the way the young guys

20
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: are going to get better. We've got some guys that

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: weren't out there that can help us out we can

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: get better that hopefully will mitigate what happened to us

23
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 1: right at the end of the game in the last

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: drive when you've certainly need to make a play to

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: win that ball game. That's the NFL. You're going to

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: be there that close. So often I have felt like

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: that we paid the price of not really having our

28
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: kicker during training camp. And I look back, and when

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: you don't have a kicker that's real active during training camp,

30
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: you may be kidding yourself for the early ball games.

31
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Is he ready to you know, really ready to go?

32
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: The loss isn't to be bamed on the kicker, but still,

33
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: if we'd had a se massive execution on three or

34
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: four of those kicks, it might have made a big

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: difference here. Offensively, we're really in my mind everything we

36
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: thought we could be. The two key standouts for me

37
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: were the offensive lad and the defensive front. Relative to

38
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the running game, those two are big boys. Played a

39
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: hell of a game lesson. I have to know real

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: quick since you mentioned it long term, then do you

41
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: still believe in Greg Zeroline as a kicker of this team? Yeah? Yes,

42
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: And I said, you know he's again. Do you go

43
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: into the season with a kicker that's been on a

44
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: kind of hour and been easing along maybe when it's

45
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: that vital to have really be in the swing of things.

46
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Do you go with the kicker that didn't do much

47
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: during the preseason relative to competition, that spent a lot

48
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: of time which they can out on the practice field

49
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and working really the art that way. Yes, we did,

50
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: and I think we paid a price there in his

51
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: first opening game. I believe any long long term and

52
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: I believe he'll play better as we get into the season. Jerry.

53
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Last night after the game, I caught it right at

54
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the end, Dak's shaking hands with Tom Brady and he says,

55
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: we'll see y'all again, And then he commented on it

56
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: after the game. What do you think about that? Do

57
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: you like that that competitiveness of Dak Prescott there? Oh? Man,

58
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I do. He's It's just really if you want to

59
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: smile about something that has a big time, long term

60
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: relative to the season impact on it is that. And

61
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the most phenomenal performances that I've seen

62
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: because he really hadn't played in almost what eighteen months,

63
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: and for him to step out there and have that

64
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: kind of night is nothing but encouraging. Two questions for

65
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: you here, Jerry. Watching the game, I was happy the

66
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys took the lead. Then it scanned over to Tom

67
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Brady getting off the bench and getting ready to take

68
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: the field, and I was kind of like, ohs, like

69
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: we got to somehow try to stop the greatest of

70
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: all time. I was wondering what your thoughts were after

71
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: taking the lead with a minute twenty four to go,

72
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: and then during that drive the key play to put

73
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: them in field goal position was to catch by Godwin,

74
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: which is debated pretty strongly. Was that offensive pass interference?

75
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I'd love to know your two thoughts on after scoring

76
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: to take the lead and then tom Brady taking the field,

77
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: and then your thoughts on the no call to set

78
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: up Tampa Bay for the game winning field goal. We

79
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: left him too much time. You can't do that in

80
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: our game. You can't leave a quarterback of this calibery

81
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: just can't do it. You put yourself in a spot

82
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: where you've got to have a big play, one of

83
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: the biggest plays of the night. You have to have

84
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: during that drive, and that's hard to do. It gives

85
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: us quality quarterback. Everybody's pretty tired out there our defense

86
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: really held up well. I thought, I really did. I

87
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: thought they might have gotten a little tired and that

88
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: was going to be an advantage for us as we

89
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: got down near the end of the game. But you

90
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: give with a minute and a half left on the

91
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: clock and your time out, you gave a quarterback, most

92
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: of them in the NFL, and they'll take it down

93
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: on you, and so you got to have a big play.

94
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: We've got a young team that's so luned it on

95
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: defense that we can get a big play in those situations.

96
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: And we had a couple of opportunities. The call that's

97
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: what happens. That's a big play. They got it though,

98
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: and that that can happen, and it made you sick,

99
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: key player. That drive was the penalty that not that penalty,

100
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: but was a penalty that really we had them stopped

101
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: and we got a penalty of get which played before

102
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: that it was, but there was a penalty that let

103
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: us I'm sorry back when we had the ball that

104
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: if we hadn't made the penalty, we could have run

105
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: more time off the clock. And if we could have

106
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: gotten more time off the clock when we had our possession,

107
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: then you would have had a better chaps when they

108
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: did get the ball. Not to say that it would

109
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: be like this going forward. I don't think anyone is

110
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: expecting him to throw fifty eight passes a game. But

111
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: what did you think about the breakdown last night of

112
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: the offense between passing and running. Should we anticipate more

113
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: of a shift towards a passing centric offense? Well, first

114
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: of all, give your offensive line kudos for playing an

115
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: outstanding game in their production because that was one heck

116
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: of a defensive line. They were keep it out of

117
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: there and again that highlight plus the where a big

118
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: gas played on defense. With my mind, the game ball

119
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: guys along with Dak, we've got to you know, it's

120
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: easy to say, but as you know, to establish the

121
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: passing game against a big tab front and they've got it.

122
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: The Bucks have a big time defensive front. You've got

123
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of have up. You've got to go against

124
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: that wall and have a lot of one yard runs.

125
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: That when you've got a quarterback and you can make

126
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: a play like we're able to make the passing game,

127
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be a challenge because you've got to

128
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: wear them down with that running game and uh we

129
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: uh uh, it just didn't go that way. But that's

130
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: the anecdote. But the running game takes us early patience, Jerry.

131
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: When you know, last last week you were discussing with

132
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: us that last year you thought you had a team

133
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: and that going into this season you felt like you

134
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: had the team that you thought you had last year.

135
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of curious of what you what you

136
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: saw last night. Was there were there things that you

137
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: saw that you were like, I expected this, And were

138
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: there things you saw were like I did not expect

139
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: that to be that good or to be that bad. Yeah,

140
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: not foolishly, but just hopefully. I expected our offensive lad

141
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: last year to play like it did last night, and

142
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: it played like we did, and that was a big expectation.

143
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know that we were going to be as

144
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: inapt against the running game last year and our defense,

145
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: but last night we were not. And so, but the

146
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: difference in these teams, especially on the defensive side of

147
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: the ball, is it's real uphill. It's upside, not uphill,

148
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: but it's upside. For this team. We've got guys that

149
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: even weren't on the field last night, that can make

150
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: this defense better and we can get better there, and

151
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: we can sure with our strength, with our linebackers and

152
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: our outside pass rushers, we can absolutely expect to have

153
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: more pressure. Jerry, when you talk about the help that

154
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: wasn't there last night, I assume you're talking about Joseph

155
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: your second round pick, and possibly right just growing into

156
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: the roy your third round pick. Is that kind of

157
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: specifically the two cornerbacks hopefully getting up talking in the interior,

158
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Gallimore talking him, but the answers, yes there, I'm talking

159
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: about Hooker. I'm talking about the maturation of those young

160
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: guys that are in there. Micah was closed last night

161
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: on a few things. He'll get their own some inevitably.

162
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: And then I'm also talking about this young group just

163
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: when when you play, when you're a young player, you

164
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: actually get those snaps, you go right before everybody's eyes.

165
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: You grow. The problem is is the price you pay

166
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: as you're going, Well, these young guys are going to

167
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: do that for us, and then this scheme is going

168
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: to become even more doable for these guys because they're

169
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: going to have more time in it. We've got upside,

170
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: serious upside on the defense. It's the best thing are

171
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: one of the very best things that if you had

172
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: to have a positive you can come out with We're

173
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: going to get better defensively and we didn't play bad

174
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: against a good team last night. Jerry Jones join us

175
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: here on the K and C Masterpiece on one to

176
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: five three The Fan your home of the Dallas Cowboys

177
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: and Jerry last night in that stage medium. I know

178
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: last year y'all spent time in empty stadiums. What was

179
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: what was your feeling looking around seeing seeing the NFL

180
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: make that impact with that many people there. It was

181
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: I just was so thankful before the game ceremony with

182
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: that huge crowd out there. And of course you don't

183
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: have to hear me say what I think of the

184
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: pageantry and of the just you can cut it to

185
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: the excitement with a knife, and then it's the crowds.

186
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: The crowds the NFL football game is only seven percent

187
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: of our fans have ever been inside a stadium. It's television.

188
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: On the other hand, the pageantry of the colisil Morome

189
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: if you will, If you've got that, that is a

190
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: big part of the magic that the NFL. The throngs

191
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: of fans, the excitement of my team against your team

192
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: down against your town. Didn't turn around there and have

193
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: a game of that nature. It's it's a really wonderful event. Now,

194
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: I really am interested in your insight on this tomorrow,

195
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary of the September eleventh attacks. I was hoping

196
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: for our audience you could walk us through what you

197
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: were doing and what you remember about that day, and

198
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: then what the decision making process was like after that

199
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: in order of when to play football again. Boor, you

200
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: caught me off guard. I was sitting right in the

201
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: chair i'm sitting in of when I first was aware

202
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: of the n of the nine eleven attack, and I

203
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: remember immediately talking to my daughter Charlotte, and we were

204
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: watching in the horror and it's just again like us

205
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: all and remember what I was doing, and as you remember,

206
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: it was early and so bottom line is that the

207
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: experience changed all changed, really changed all of our lives.

208
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: It changed how we approach, how we go to and

209
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: how we do security wise at events. That's just what

210
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: we do on a weekly basis during the season. So

211
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: it very much in my mind, I think you could

212
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: look at how nine to eleven changed our lives, our mentality,

213
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: our feeling of security. I think you can look at

214
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: COVID as that kind of game changer as well. Well,

215
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: we're changes. Yeah, well we're glad to have football back.

216
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: I know you're glad to have football back. And it

217
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: sounds like we're feeling positive about this Cowboys team despite

218
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: a tough game. Thank you very much for your insight

219
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: on that, and thank you very much as always for

220
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: your time every Friday morning a week. Thank you
