You had a chance 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.240 to be around as annoying as family can be when 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.880 you can't be around family because of COVID for a 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.360 long period time, they're a little less annoying today. So 0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.280 I hope you ready for a great day and a 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:03.360 great day of foot ball. TJ. You know what's inevitably 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.000 going to follow the first game or during the first game, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.720 Why are the Lions on on Thanksgiving because that's the way, 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:13.360 that's how we roll. But really a disappointing slate of 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.640 games like it, and no fault of the NFL. Right 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.399 if the John Gruden thing or the or the terrible 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.640 car accident doesn't happen, this Raiders game looks a lot different. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.720 And the Saints, of course, have just been besieged by injuries. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.199 I don't know anybody who's playing. They have very few 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.120 of their stars playing today against the Bills. And then 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.600 of course the Bears have swooned here and the Lions 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.320 are just bad in rebuild mode. Like, we don't have 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.400 a stellar set of games today. We don't have the 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:46.400 marquee teams, and aside from the Cowboys that are having 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.840 a good season right now, the Bills, we just don't. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:51.840 We don't have the head to head matchup or you're like, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.480 who's gonna win? I can't wait for that game right right? 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:01.240 But I'll be honest, I love football, and so at 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.080 nine thirty I will be in front of the TV 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.360 watching the game because I am a fan of football. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:13.000 But I will say I just want competitive games. Detroit. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.800 They they're awful, but they're there. They seem to be 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.480 competitive in every game. They just they're gonna play to 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.280 the end. They're gonna give you everything they have. They 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.320 just they're just going to lose the game at the end. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.600 But I mean they get in the backup quarterback, like 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.200 it's bad, dude. Now. They said, Jared Goff is gonna play. 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.960 Jared Goff is playing, and so we're gonna get Andy Dalton, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.440 a backup who was a long time starter for the Bears. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:46.079 Give me a competitive game. The Dallas Las Vegas Raiders 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.000 game seems to be the most competitive one. The Raiders 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:54.320 have kind of just fallen off, but they've had a 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.359 lot of turmoil in that locker room and in that team, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.960 and so it didn't happen right the way. It was 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.040 kind of a little after to like, oh, we should 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.360 be playing bad. Now, I guess we'll play bad. I mean, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.560 because they had a promising start to the season, and 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:15.959 when Gruden being fired and the incident with Rugs, they there. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.640 It's tough to recover and sustain a season when you 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.840 have so much going on. You're meeting about things that 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.960 a like that instead of football. When Gruen got fired, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.760 guarantee each position coach met with their players about it. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.079 Then with the Rugs situation, head coach met with the 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.520 team about it, Your position coach met with you about it. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.320 And so you're taking time away from football to talk 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.880 about these things and oh it doesn't matter, it does matter. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.560 And then you go to the Bills and the Saints. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.440 The Bills need this win bad. I mean, the Coats 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.960 embarrassed them. And if I'm the Saints, I'm saying, oh, 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.960 Trynathan turned around for two hundred plus yards. We should 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.840 be able to get at least one fifty out of 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.920 this and that should be somewhat of a competitive game. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.160 We just don't have the marquee names in the marquee 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.760 matchups that we would like. I'm telling you right now, 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.480 I think the Colts. The Colts and the Niners are 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.400 the two most underrated teams in the league. Right Remember 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.479 the Colts lost their first three out of the gate, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.040 but he had new quarterback and they just didn't look good. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.200 But I mean they're they're beating the Ravens down the 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.400 first half. Obviously Lamar Jackson was incredible. After that, they 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.320 lost to the Titans buy three. But like, this is 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.920 a team that you know that they can run it, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.840 and honestly, Carson Wentz is back to playing good kind 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.719 of conservative football. Like Carson Wentz eighteen touchdowns, three interceptions, 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.960 that's really good, really really really good. Jonathan Taylor eleven 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.480 hundred yards and he can catch it out of the 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.440 backfield some too. And then your boy Michael Pittman, he's 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.440 got fifty seven catches, by the way. I don't know 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.200 if I share this, but you know your your wide 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:59.839 receiver workouts during when everything was shut down, Like my Hays, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.440 my son is like, hey, Dad, can you ask TJ 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.480 when I can when I can go work out with 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.160 Michael Pittman and all those guys here, Like, hey, did 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.840 you know they're playing on Sundays right now. They're not 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.080 working out with TJ. In la Man back COVID. Really 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.440 it gave us a chance to just work work. I 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:24.800 was with a Pittman in Claypool, I mean, Doug. When 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:30.159 COVID hit, it's crazy. We didn't stop. We went five 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:35.160 days a week, Monday through Friday, every single day, and 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.320 it was certain times we go to this park shaff 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.400 froze up. You guys got to put a mask on. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.120 We didn't have masks. He gave us masks continued to 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.760 work out. I mean we went six months Monday through 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.640 Friday every day, didn't miss a day, and now he's 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.719 starting to see the fruits of his labor labor so 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.400 to speak. But speaking of the Coats man, Frank Wright 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.560 is a fantas as a kad coach. He doesn't get 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:06.880 mentioned enough. The Coats are a really good team and 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.960 he deserves to be given credit because the way they 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:15.400 started on in three to rebound and play the way 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.560 that they're playing. You gotta give him credit for not 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.960 letting that locker room feel sorry for herself all we're 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.400 gonna have a bad season. He kept them locked in 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.479 and lick at him. Now, Stan Patrick show here on 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.520 Fox Sports Radio, what about the naggy thing? I talked 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.720 to people in the Bears organization. It's like the one 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.640 guy specifically, it was pretty high rank and he was like, 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.240 none of that's been talked about. It's like a patch 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.760 dot com report. Patch dot com for people who don't know, 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.719 is it's a website. It's basically like a little local 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:52.280 website where it aggregates any kind of local story. But 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.440 somehow I didn't even know, Like I didn't know that 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.880 they had did their own reporting, but you know, someone 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.800 hurt from someone else that he's gonna get go. How 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.800 do you think they react with the Bears? How do 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.279 you think they react to that news? I mean, honestly, Douglas, 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.360 be honest. Matt Nagie's getting fired when the season's over. Anyway, 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:16.720 he will whether be fired yet, whether he's fired Friday, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:22.920 which is tomorrow Monday, Orange like Matt Nagie will be 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.280 relieved as the head coach of the Chicago Bears. It's 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.560 just when when is he going to be fired? And 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.200 so that they jumped the gun maybe, and the Bears 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.000 are gonna make it look like they jumped the gun 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.880 by not firing him during the season. But Matt Naggie 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.840 is as good as going. They haven't been able to 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:53.360 consistently field a good football team and you get a 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:58.880 ricky quarterback, and that could be a saving grace if 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.080 they looked like they had a plan. They justin fields 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.640 first game out it was like, okay, what are they 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.200 doing with the guy? Did they even know what they 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.960 want to do? They even know how they should be playing? 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.040 And then they started to oh, okay, mate, you should 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.160 have had that right out the gate immediate, Okay, this 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.520 is what we want for Justin Phils. This is what 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:20.080 we're gonna do. Put them in so many advantageous situations, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.320 things that he does well. They weren't doing that. It 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.760 wasn't until the public outcry that it seemed like, okay, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.400 let's start doing this now for Justin because this really 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.680 fits them. Yeah, Maggie's gone. Let me, I would agree 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.280 with you, but let me let me take the other 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.640 opposite side. Let me defend Matt Nagie for a second. Right, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:42.240 so his I'm sure the sale to why he's he 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.400 was the right guy for Justin Fields was he was 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.079 in Kansas City the year that Mahomes red shirt. Right now, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:54.080 Mahomes and you know, Mahomes and Justin Fields are two 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.440 completely different quarterbacks right in terms of style and how 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.600 they played in college. Because because Mahomes though he's athletic, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.760 like he threw for a million yards when he's a 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.959 tech and Fields did too. But Fields is a guy 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.800 who was much more of a runner than than Mahomes was. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:12.200 But again, to defend Matt Nagee, I would guess would be, look, 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.960 when we had Mahomes, we didn't have a different offense 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.360 for Pat Mahomes as opposed to Alex Smith. He spent 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.280 the year learning the offense behind Alex Smith, and then 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.800 in week seventeen when he played, we didn't run a 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.480 different offense. We ran the exact same offense. Only he's better, 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.400 He's got more potential. He can make more plays than 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.319 Alex Smith. So my guess is that, yeah, it looked bad, 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.400 but he wasn't supposed to be playing. Then, he was 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.400 supposed to be sitting watching and learning, and only us 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.439 in the media had been yelling out for him. Then, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.240 you know, like, I mean, look, did they put him 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.240 in a great situation? No, But part of it was 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.520 they spent the whole preseason teaching him to play under center, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.240 and then they get into the games and they're like, look, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.760 he's more comfortable in the gun, but he's been working 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:03.199 under center. What we actually do They hadn't. They hadn't. Really, 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.400 they're trying to get him to be able to function 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.000 in a more traditional offense, but he's not. He's not 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.920 there yet. He hasn't done it enough yet. You're asking 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.560 something of me, can't do I agree with you. You could, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.040 you got to change on the fly, But but they 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.440 needed a week to prep for that, and that's what 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:25.600 got exposed. It was but you would think, we drafted 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.760 this guy, he's our quarterback in the future, we have 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:33.640 a comprehensive plan offensively, how we want to get him 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.440 ready to play. They didn't look like they had that 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.080 until after his first game you would say, Okay, he 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.840 had Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky was drafted and I believe twenty 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.800 seventeen Naggie became a head coach a year later in 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.920 twenty eighteen, you couldn't they're they're they're similar now and 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:59.520 Trubisky doesn't run as much as as good an athlete 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:04.280 as Justin easily easily, but he wasn't a runner in 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:09.120 college as much as Justin Fields was. He didn't seem 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.719 to develop him in Intrubisky goes a Buffalo and in 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.000 a preseason you're like, whoa, where did this come from? 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.040 It's a preseason, but where did this come from? And 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:24.080 so I don't know what it is that they're doing 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:30.199 in Chicago. But it's not conducive for the young quarterbacks 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:35.760 because Mitchell Trubisky, he took so much of the blame, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.160 so much of the blame that when you looked at 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:45.160 when Justin Fields gotten a game, the lack of a plan, 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.440 at least for me, it was alarming. Oh, it doesn't 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.800 matter if you didn't expect him to start. He's your 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.319 quarterback of the future. We should be building a plan 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.559 the day we draft him on how we wanted to allophim. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.360 They weren't doing that. Coming up next to what I 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.200 want to do is I want to get into a 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.080 little bit of the Cowboys, but a lot of the Giants. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.400 So Dan Patrick shows brought to you by Mercedes Benz, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.280 the Compact GLA proves it's not the size of the 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.120 SUV in the fight, the size of the fight in 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.400 the suv.

Dez Bryant, of course, played not 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.680 just for the Cowboys, but for Jason Garrett. Jason Garrett 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.640 was relieved of his duties was fired after a really 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.160 pathetic performance by the Giants.

Um, who is 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:16.720 your favorite offensive coordinator you ever played for? Wow? I 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.319 would probably say, uh, I have my most success under him. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.920 So Bob Bratkowski? Why what? What was it about what 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.600 he did? Or did he just believe in you? What 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.400 was it about uh Bob that the allied to be 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:34.160 so successful? We called we called him bratt coach bratt Um. Honestly, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:40.080 I'm laughing. I wouldn't say initially he believed in me. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.040 I might have been forced to believe in me. Um, 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.320 But I learned a lot. And when when I sat, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.280 learned a lot. For people that don't understand. It's like 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:55.120 when we are in Cincinnati, we would have to sit 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.439 in meetings the receivers with the offensive line in quarterbacks, 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:04.920 and it used to be so boring, so boring. They're 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.240 going over protections and you look over guys or on 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.360 their phone or they fallen asleep. I would just take 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.480 notes and I didn't realize I was learning their protections 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:20.360 and I was learning football because I was just paying attention, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.840 and we would put plays in and if it was 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.520 one high, you would run it this way. If it 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.240 was too high, you would run it this way. And 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.920 too high could be covered four, cover two, cover six, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.840 so it would be different variations. And so I thought, oh, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.840 it's like this everywhere I leave. I go to another 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.400 team and I'm like, hey, so on this play, if 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.360 we get a two high look but it's not covered 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.120 two its quarters, how do you want us to run it? Like? Oh, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.560 just get open? I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.400 If the quarterback is going to throw at anticipation, I 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.240 can't just get open. He needs to know how I'm 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.000 going to run it so he can roll with anticipation. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.440 If he if I'm just gonna get open, he doesn't 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.920 know what I'm gonna do. And so we were very 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:13.240 attention to detail. It probably didn't show as much as 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.960 they gave it to us in Cincinnati, but I learned 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:22.200 a ton of football from Bratt protections, how to run routes, 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.720 what to do, what not to do in certain situations. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.160 So yeah, it would be Bratt. And I'll tell you what. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:34.000 When I was in Cincinnati, towards the end, I was 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.520 a bit of a butthole, just just because you kind 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.280 of get tired of the losing and you want to 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.640 blame the coaches. I promise this is a true story. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.040 When I left Cincinnati and I went to Seattle, I 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.040 called Bratt and I told him, I said, I want 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:54.400 to apologize because you were so much better of a coach, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.920 and I ever gave you credit for now that I'm 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.080 not with you, I just want to let you know 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.920 how much I learned from you and how great of 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.520 a coach you are that I didn't realize when I 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.200 was playing for you. I told him that. I told 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.000 him that. Okay, so my next question would be, who's 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.400 the worst offense coordinate ever played for. I wouldn't say 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.120 I had a worse offensive coording, man, Now, I really 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:22.360 be honest, because like, for instance, I played for All 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.000 Going Order, I played for Greg nap May Rest in Peace, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.320 and then I pay for Cam Cameron, and then technically 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:34.400 it was Hugh and Alexanders. Alexander's offense is very complicated. Um, 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.320 you you can't be a dummy and played for Alexanders. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:42.520 If you're a dummy, it's too tough. Cam Cameron his 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.520 run game, like we had concepts in a run game 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.320 that I had never seen. This was like my tenth 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.240 year in the league. Like certain concepts I had never 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.040 seen when I got to Baltimore. Give me, give me 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.560 an example, Give me an example. Like since we'd be 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.040 running the ball to the right, the tight end would 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.720 just sprint to the flats like it was a pass play. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.879 Every team I've been on that tight end was blocking. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.119 But he felt like, if you sprint to the flats, 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.359 you're gonna draw a defender thinking it's a pass play. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.520 And I was like, well, I had never seen that before. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.720 A lot of teams do that now. They weren't doing 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.360 that back then when I was playing. And so just 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.639 his concepts in a run game, the passing game, it 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:37.000 wasn't as nuanced as Cincinnati and even Seattle. Greg not 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.960 probably had the best playbook that I had, Like he 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.760 had so many great concepts, but he was a guy 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:46.640 that liked to run a lot of screens. And Hugh Jackson. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.399 He was a coach that you want to play for 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.560 because I pretty much got my chance to play because 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.080 of Hugh. He came in there and said, I'm gonna 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:58.840 play the best guys. I'm gonna be honest with you, 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.200 like we were sitting. Then the meeting, Hugh Jackson walks 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.199 in there. It was like twelve receivers. He's like, he 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.680 named four of them, one, two, three, four, pointed him out. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.440 You four on the team, the rest of you eight 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.080 or battling for two spots. I was like, whoa No 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.119 coach had ever told us that before. Like he was, 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.760 so you play bad. Hey, if you keep playing like this, 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.320 you you're not gonna play. Or if you keep playing 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.600 like this, you're not making a team. He was so 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.679 honest that I appreciated the transparency black or white, no 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.840 gray error with you. And that's what I liked about him. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.200 He's personable. He makes you want to play for him. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.360 But I told him, they're not giving me a chance 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.959 to play here, and that's why I said, uh, what, Bratt. 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.199 He probably was forced to play me. He was like, 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.920 I'm playing the best guys. Peter Warre breaks his leg 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.640 against the New York Jets. I get a chance to play, 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.400 and I was a starter for the rest of my career, 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.639 pretty much as T. J. Husbands Ota joining us. I 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.560 bring that out because des Brian had some of the 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.879 best moments of his career playing for the obviously not 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.760 just the Cowboys, but for Jason Garrett as their head coach, 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.080 and Jason Garrett's a play caller. Dez tweets out, if 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.520 you're hearing the news about j G, that's Jason Garrett, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.600 Darius Tony, you will get to experience the love and 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.760 joy for football throughout your career. When asked by one 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.359 of his followers if he didn't like Garrett, he tweeted, great, dude, 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.840 never respected his philosophy towards players and the game. Translate 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.560 that for me, that's personal. When you say never respected 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:26.320 his philosophy towards players, that seems a little personal, like 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:31.080 his philosophy. Did he not respects you? Did he make 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.840 it seem like it wasn't the player, it was the 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.560 exes and knows and not the Joe, so to speak. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.359 And when I saw that, that that's how I took you. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.359 I don't believe Das cares for Jason. It might be 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.159 some underlying how much of it is is just did he 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.280 cut him right? Like like Dez Bryan got cut when 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.440 Jason Garrett was the coach. And it's like anybody who's 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.200 ever lost a job or lost you know, a job 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.840 within a job, end of the day, the guy who 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:00.560 makes the decision is the guy you're going to be 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.480 bitter towards. Right, really, just really dug you really believe 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.080 Jason Garrett made the decision to cut him or Jerry 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.680 Jones and those guys made the decision. I don't. I 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.480 don't know, but I can't tell you that. Like Jason 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.480 Garrett was viewed as like the other uh, the other 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.359 son to Jerry Jones, right, Like that's that's how he 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.639 everybody like, man, you can't talk to Jason Garrett, he 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.800 might he might as well be a Jones boy. So 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:34.960 like you blame everybody, I believe there's some underlying disagreements 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.200 that they may have had that we don't know about. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.320 But I don't believe Jason Garrett. I mean, yeah, he 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:45.800 was the head coach when das Briant was released, but 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.479 when when you look at it, it was des Briant 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.320 went on. He had from like I believe it was 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:56.880 like twenty twelve to twenty fourteen. Those three years des 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:02.000 Brian was lights out. He was scoring and catching touchdowns, 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:07.119 putting up big yards, and then after that it was 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.200 kind of hit or miss. He he had three years 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.280 and ROB believe he had a thousand yards. He didn't 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.919 crack a thousand yards again in and out of the 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.200 lineup because the injuries. He just wasn't able to get 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.240 back to that level. And it was four years of that. 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.080 It wasn't like it was like, Okay, you got six 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:29.640 hundred yards in twenty fifteen a thousand and twenty. He 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.720 never got close to a thousand yards again. And it 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.720 was four years after those three years where he really 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.360 lit it up. I believe Jerry Jones got rid of him. 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:45.000 But when you play for a head coach that's an 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:50.359 offensive coordinator, I think these coaches sometimes don't understand, like, 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.520 if you're a good coach, you're going to teach us 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.359 the game. Now that I know the game, don't get 0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.679 mad at me for knowing the game that you taught me. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.840 And so when I voice my opinion, whether I should 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.439 voice it or not, I'm voicing the philosophies that you 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.760 taught me. And if I think what you're saying isn't correct, 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:15.639 should I not voice that? Because these philosophies are coming 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:20.400 from you and what you have taught me. And that's 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.280 what happens. Coaches, they teach you the game. As soon 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.880 as you question what you've been taught, they don't question me. Oh, 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.879 I'm sorry, you know. It's just that That's where I 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:36.199 think it could be a disconnect. But Jason good was 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.280 he not awful with New York? Oh my god? They 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:43.560 were terrible? How can you be How can you be 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:46.280 that bad? How can they be that bad? How can 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.199 how can you have dudes running into each other in 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.600 the middle of the season. And you know what's crazy, 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:56.200 it's what they got dudes like they have dudes on 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:01.040 that team that if you their receiving corps is really good. 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:05.320 Player for player talent wise, they're really good, say Quin Parker, 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.000 you don't know what he is yet coming back from 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:11.880 his injury. Daniel Jones has shown flashes doun, they're awful 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:18.320 on offense. Man Andre Freddy Kitchens uh come back with 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.960 the magic that he had when they fired Hugh in 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.159 Cleveland and when he had Baker. If he does that, 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.560 it's really gonna make Jason Garrett look even worse. But 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:32.240 the Giants were awful and Das Bryant just stated his 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:37.760
