Speaker 1: you were out here winning Super Bowls. Yeah, what do

51
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,120

Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucking I really like it because you are it.

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: A lot of times you have an evening game or

55
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: a noon game. In the evening game, you know's you know,

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: but now you are it. You are situated where the

57
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: world can see you. And if you got anything special

58
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: about you any type dog in you, Now it's time

59
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: for the dog. The Holland screen barged, whatever you gotta do,

60
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: So I'm down with this man. Yeah. I want the

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: world to see that the Cowboys going to do something

62
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: they never did. That's beat Tom Brady and the Tampa

63
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. That's what I'm talking about, Bro Darren. You

64
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: know a little something about playing in prime time. This

65
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys team will be on display for the world to

66
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: see on Monday Night football. What's the mindset shift that

67
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: takes place as you get ready for coming out of

68
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: the regular season, the end of the playoffs and what

69
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: that looks like for a player. Well, I think that

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: you always hear these cliches that, oh, it's just a

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: football game and nothing ever changes as bs like this,

72
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: it's different. It's different when you get into the playoffs.

73
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: Then it's a different elevation when you get in to

74
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But the lights are on, everybody's watching.

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: There's more journalists on the field and more reporters. There's

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: more cameras on the field. Uh, there's so much more

77
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: attention because no one's playing. Everybody's everybody's out fishing. Yeah,

78
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: and that's the special teams that have gotten gotten there

79
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: are the ones who are playing now. I'm a little

80
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: different than than New. I don't want to play on

81
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Monday nights. I mean I do want to play want

82
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I want to play on Saturday. Yeah, and then when

83
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: that game and then gets get a couple more days.

84
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: But that's that's But again to your question, is it's

85
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: special and there's only so many players. There's players that

86
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I've played played against who've never been to the playoffs

87
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: and had long careers and still never got there. And

88
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: to get there for that moment, it's it's it's it's uh,

89
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: it's breathtaking when you run out of that tunnel, man,

90
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: There's no better feeling than running out of that tunnel

91
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: for a playoff game, man, because it's just it's on you,

92
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: Like New said, it's on everyone's watching you. You can't

93
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: make the if you make the mistake, everybody's watching. If

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: you make the big play, yeah, you're the dog. That's

95
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the greatest stage on Earth. Man.

96
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: You know that Monday night playoff games great until you

97
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: win and they got to play on a short week.

98
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: That's the hard thing about it, man. That and that's

99
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: and they said no, let me. Let me if they

100
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: have designated off days. And then in the NFL, right,

101
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: you have three and four days off during the year

102
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: during the year, not doing it, just say bye week.

103
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: These guys, if you're not ready for this year and

104
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: you're not in shape and rested up with it, they

105
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: ain't gonna make them play on Saturday. They're gonna play

106
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Right, So this they look, I don't care

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: when they play. They're gonna gonna win. Yeah, Like to me, Saturday, Saturday, Monday. Hey,

108
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: we played on Thursday. Then flipped around place. You gotta

109
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: get a win, yeah, and you gotta do whatever it takes.

110
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: And this is when this is a time where the

111
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: guys like Tyran Smith and Zach Martin and d Law,

112
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the veteran guys that have that have been in that

113
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: locker room. Hey, when I came in as a rookie,

114
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: I had to look at this man to get me

115
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: ready for a game because I didn't know what the

116
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: hell to expect. Right, So you expect your leaders, you

117
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 1: expect your veteran players to not only get you ready

118
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: for Sunday, but also make it intentional. The week of

119
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: watching a film. I remember Ken Norton, I coming in

120
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: and Ken Norton had us all there until seven p m. Wow, Right,

121
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: ordered in pizzas when we got into the playoffs. That's

122
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: that's the intentional that you have to have, and your

123
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: leader's gonna have to step up and do those things.

124
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: So that was your rookie year. That was my rookie year.

125
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: And again I had no idea what that playoff atmosphere was.

126
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I remember walking out and and playing in that game

127
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: and thinking, Holy, this ain't a regular season game. I

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: can't breathe running down the kick on the kickoff team,

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and the game felt like it was moving so much

130
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: faster than we were seeing in the regular season until

131
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: you settle down. And once you settle down and things

132
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: lightened up, but it was there was a lot of

133
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: intensity involved. So Nate had a two game head start

134
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: on you. Right that you would have played in the

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: playoffs the year before, right, Yeah, that was your first

136
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: two I'm gonna tell you something, man, We when we

137
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: lost to we lost to Detroit. No, I wasn't there yet.

138
00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: I was watching y'all on TV. Yet. The week before that,

139
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: we I think we beat Chicago and we went in

140
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: and I've told his story a thousand times. And we

141
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: walked in that locker room and we were all celebrating,

142
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: one stat from one stat all the way down. Man Campo,

143
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: you're hitting coach. Everybody's celebrating. Because Jimmy was talking to

144
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: the head coach of the deal outside. He came in.

145
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: He stopped. You know, I'm always looking for Jimmy because

146
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: he by single, and so I'm looking for him. Jimmy looked,

147
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: he looked at me. You know he gonna Yeah, he

148
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: fixed his hair and he slammed that door. Y'all, you sonim.

149
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: He went to cussin, calling us all the type of

150
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: thing if y'all satisfied with this bull. He went off

151
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: for like five minutes. But the bottom line is when

152
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: he got through with us, we were sold. We were

153
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: somber or sober or whatever the word is. And we realized, like,

154
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: this man wants to go to something different from special

155
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah and so and then y'all came in

156
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: and just, oh my god, usion of young, great talent

157
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: we took off. I wonder if anybody walked in last

158
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: year after they won, after they lost and slammed that

159
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: door and say this is not what we are. It's

160
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: a bigger picture. Yea. Yeah. So I'm just saying, you know,

161
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: they are going to be taking on a young man.

162
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't even want to call him young anymore because

163
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: he's forty five, but he's still handling business. Set the

164
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: NFL record young to us. Yeah, that's true, young to

165
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: us and so younger to some. But set the NFL

166
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: record for completions and attempts this year? Did Tom Brady?

167
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: And this is a Cowboys team twelve and five back

168
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: to back years, twenty four wins over the past two years. Mickie,

169
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you on this one, because there's

170
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure when you are the head coach

171
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys to win and win big in

172
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. From Mike McCarthy, how much more pressure is

173
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: there on him given what he was brought here to do,

174
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: because his resume says he knows how to do this

175
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: in January and now he has another opportunity after what

176
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: happened last year, to redeem himself. How much pressure is

177
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: on coach Mike McCarthy. I don't. I don't think he

178
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: looks at it that way. There's pressure anytime you get

179
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, regardless of when you showed up or

180
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: how long you're here, right, And I don't think he's

181
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: sitting there going, oh, if I don't win this game,

182
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm not coaching anymore. It's set. Sometimes the pressure can

183
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: be overwhelming, right, He's got to just kind of treat

184
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: this thing and they got to understand it's important. But

185
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: he can't make it bigger than it is and then

186
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: you get in the game and freeze. Right. I think

187
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: they understand how important it is. And talking about what

188
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: Nate said that loss to San Francisco, still eating at

189
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: these guys. A matter of fact, Jay Ryan Curse said

190
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: it today, I remember what that feels like, and I

191
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: don't want to feel like that again. So that's kind

192
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: of been a motivation point for them this year that

193
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: they felt like they let one get away last year

194
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: when they got beat in the first round. But you

195
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: know what, also, I think there is pressure. Think there's

196
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure, and I think that pressure really

197
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: mounted up at the end of the season when especially

198
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: going into Washington last week, they wanted to win that game, right,

199
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: like they the intent was to win that football game

200
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: regardless because they had no idea. What was going on

201
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: in Philly with Philly and the Giants. They went in

202
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: to win that football game, and let's be honest, got

203
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: slapped in the mouth. Right now, you have doubt. Doubt

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: does creep in when you lose at the end of

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: the season. It does. It's just it's did that ever

206
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: happen us at the end of the season? Team? Now,

207
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I remember ninety two, we lost our last game. We

208
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: lost as a Thanksgiving Day a game where it was

209
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: a snow game against Flammy, and then we just went

210
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: on a roll after that. I can't remember ninety three.

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: But what you want to do is you want to

212
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: build that momentum because especially for the younger guys, like

213
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: the Round young guys, look, they don't they don't forget

214
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: as easy. They don't have amnesia like the better ring guys.

215
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: We'll put this behind us, we'll move on. They remember

216
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: getting their asses handed to him last week. That's what

217
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: they remember. Now they got to reset themselves. And again

218
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: that's where the leadership comes in. That's what McCarthy's going

219
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: to come in and say, hey, reset, it's done. Last

220
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: week happened. Now we're on to Tampa Bay and we're

221
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: moving on, and the leadership has to do the same

222
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: because the young guys like myself when I first came in,

223
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: if we would have lost the last game of the

224
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: season and we had to win that, we played the

225
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: New York Giants in the meadlelands, we had to win

226
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: that game. We we won that game, and guess what

227
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: the confidence level was just went out the roof. Yes,

228
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: we would have lost that game. Holy cow, it's a

229
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: different deal. So, yes, you remember what happened the last

230
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: game in the ninety two season, right, you were playing

231
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: the I believe it was the Bears and you were

232
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: beating him and some running back fumbled in the younger zone.

233
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and he wasn't there for the playoffs, that's right.

234
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Curban Swervy Kurban was that dope that yeah, like wow,

235
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: I like too, And Jimmy understood this guy's not gonna

236
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: be here next year. I'm on the set the tone, right,

237
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy was wrong. Jimmy was wrong by that man. That's

238
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: not cruel, man. But but I'm gonna tell you so,

239
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Kurt Curbing Richards had some some fumbled troubles earlier in

240
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: the season, and we used to do what we call

241
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: inside run. Yeah, and when you do inside run, it's

242
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: like you don't have the cornerbacks. You have the safeties,

243
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: but the safeties can't hit anybody. It's just offensive line.

244
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: Running backs stay inside the tackles and the safeties aren't live.

245
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: All we do is we just fit up and make

246
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: sure like if Emmy gets the ball, we just got

247
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: to stand there and go, Okay, this is our fit Well,

248
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: imm it's not in this drill. Jimmy puts Curban Richards

249
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: in and he tells the safeties me and James Washington

250
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: lie your lie, yeah right, your lie, and there is

251
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: no one to block us. The wide receivers free, We're free,

252
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: he's and it's all inside, right, So what's he's got

253
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: to be in. He's either hitting the B gap or

254
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: he's hitting the sea gap and we're coming downhill. I

255
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: don't hill boom and he were trying to separate them

256
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: from the ball, and Jimmy's like, you ain't hitting them

257
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: hard enough. He's got us right. So but that was

258
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: the mentality, yeah, of Jimmy Johnson and that coaching style. Yeah,

259
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: before we take our first break, I want to ask

260
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: this question to Nate that I want to go to Darren.

261
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Real quick, Nate, you walk into this locker room on

262
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Monday night, what are you telling this football team about

263
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: this moment against Tom Brady and the tam Bay Buccaneer.

264
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: You're preparing for it all year. You put in the

265
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: sweaar equity to be where you are now. Pay attention

266
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: to detail. You've worked all week and this is where

267
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy was good at. He wasn't good during the year

268
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: unless it was a big game, and this is where

269
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: he was good at. And then getting these guys prepared

270
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: and there as the things I remember. You've done the

271
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: detail work. Now go out and let your talents show,

272
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: and so they would put us in the right position

273
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: to win it. We would just roll. Brother, What is

274
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: what I would tell a young guy, What is Darren

275
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Woodson tell this team about this moment on Monday night?

276
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: They're a better team. Yes, we are the better team,

277
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: and we should go down there and kick there. That's

278
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: exactly what I mean. You don't have to be elaborate

279
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: with this big speech. You gotta feel like you are

280
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: the better team and that you are going to move

281
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: them around and dominate this football game. It's as simple

282
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: as that. M How many times did we hear that? Man?

283
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: How many times? I'm sure how many times did we hear?

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: You know what? We went to Green Bay, I mean

285
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: Wisconnins one time he said, I don't care how what

286
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: the score is, we are the better team. Yeah, let's

287
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: say you're positive, positive, you don't want to totally forget

288
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: that Washington game. But you can't sit there and dwell on. Man,

289
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: it's over with and again it's reset, reset, and get

290
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: a get the mindset of like it's almost like an

291
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: arrogance that you have to have walking about that tunnel,

292
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully that's what they have when they go to

293
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: tafas started the way San Francisco did last year, the

294

321
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: to take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

322
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls in this team winners you can call them that,

323
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: I guess of the NFC South, even with an eight

324
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: and nine record, take on a Cowboys team that's twelve

325
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: and five, and Darren, I want to start with you

326
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: because Dak Prescott's gonna be under the microscope in this game,

327
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: a player who since Week seven and coming back, has

328
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: led a team to score over thirty five points per game,

329
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: but at the same time has fifteen interceptions on the season,

330
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: which leads the National Football League. This moment for him

331
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: going against Tom Brady, what do you want to see

332
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: from him that we maybe haven't seen from him over

333
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: the last several weeks. No, what just the consistency and

334
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: the flexibility. I think the one thing that we haven't

335
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: seen with Dak what's really made him special, especially when

336
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: he began became the starting quarterback, was that he didn't

337
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: always just use his arm. Here's the times where he

338
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: would go get it to be first and ten and

339
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: he would run and get maybe six yards right to

340
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: make it second and four or whatnot, and then they

341
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: would convert those downs. But there was something about the

342
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: way that Dak And it's hard as a defensive player

343
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: when you have to defend a god not only in

344
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: the pocket, but you get your back turned and you're

345
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: playing a two man coverage, have a back turned, and

346
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: then the quarterback runs and gets those extra yards. Those

347
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: are some of the things. But then also he doesn't

348
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: have to win the game by himself. There's some underneath

349
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: throws that are there for him to make. Make some

350
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: of those underneath throws, and don't look at it as look.

351
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: I still think that people are talking about Dak being

352
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: under pressure. Brady's under pressure as well. Sure he's I

353
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: mean his legacy of being this dominant quarter, but this

354
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: could possibly be his last game. So there's a lot

355
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: of questions about his situation. Well, don't even worry about that.

356
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: It's not to him against Brady. It's him. It's about

357
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott executing the offense and winning the football game

358
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: in the end, and that's it. Don't turn the ball over,

359
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: have good conversations, have those strong conversations with their guys,

360
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: and that's it. Man. I don't think you gotta put

361
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: too much pressure on Doc in this situation. Speaking of

362
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: those guys, Nate, this offensive line has struggled a little

363
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: bit over the last couple of weeks, and we saw

364
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday against Washington Tyren Smith over at right tackle

365
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: struggling there as well. What are you seeing on film

366
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys offensive line needs to do against Vita

367
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: Vea and these boys from Tampa on Monday night. You

368
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: gotta hope that Beyondist makes it back. You gotta hope

369
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: that everything can go back to normal. We needed the

370
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: young guy Tyler Smith out to the left tackle. We

371
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: need mc govern at the left guard. We need to

372
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: get back to that. You know, everybody keeps handing the

373
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: run game is falling off of still hey yeah a

374
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: little bit, but you still have. What you need to

375
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: do is go back and find the successful runs against

376
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: your tougher defenses. This is what we can run against

377
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: the three four, This is where we were the best

378
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: in the four to three and try to execute those plays.

379
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith is enough. Yes he's not the guy he

380
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: used to be, but he's enough. But if you can

381
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: get those other three guys back in their normal places

382
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: and run the successful plays that you ran and stay

383
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: even with the chains I believe that we have enough

384
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: at receiver and enough at tight end as long as

385
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback played within himself and understand like what he said,

386
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: we ain't never looked at it. As you know, people

387
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: keep telling me about how Dak outduel or stand tall

388
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: with every other quarterback. But I asked one question at

389
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: the end of the day, did you win the game?

390
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: Nobody remembers that Tom Brady and through for three hundred

391
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: thousand miles. But all they yeah, all they keep saying

392
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: is seven times super Bowl winners. And that is what

393
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I hope Dak sit back and say, you know what,

394
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: I just need to win the game. Win, yeah, and

395
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: this will make you feel good. When I left the

396
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: locker room today, I walked by Beadish and I said,

397
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: are you good? He goes, I'm good. Are you good? Yeah?

398
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: And I'm going yeah. But that doesn't matter. You know,

399
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: V the ban ain't coming down. I might have to

400
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: deal with Newton, but he I look, I saw him

401
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: doing his rehab out there, and if he's got an

402
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: eye a high ankle sprain, that's bothering him. He was

403
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: pushing one of those one man's sleds with the weight

404
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: at the end of it, and he had no problems

405
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: doing it. Was Brett Brown with him, Yes, oh god,

406
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: he's ready, he'll be ready. Yeah, Brett is sitting there

407
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: with him. I think he's ready. And that means everybody

408
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: moves back to their spot. And I think that was

409
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: a big problem in that game that Dak never got

410
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: comfortable in the pocket. There was just too much business

411
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: around him. And you know how quarterbacks say they start

412
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: seeing ghosts. I think he was hurrying himself when he

413
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: didn't need to hurry. He the throgs were high. He

414
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: wasn't stepping into him because he's trying to get rid

415
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. I don't think he ever got comfortable.

416
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: He needs to get comfortable. And I think if they

417
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: get that line act together the way it was, look,

418
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: and you've said it, the offensive line has kind of

419
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: carried this team. I mean, if it wasn't for the

420
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: offensive line, Cooper Rush doesn't do what he did right,

421
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: and then when Dak gets back, he's not sitting there.

422
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't have to throw for three hundred

423
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: and four hundred yards. He just needed to be efficient

424
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: and he was uh And they were winning games despite

425
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: the interceptions, right, they were still scoring thirty six points

426
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: a game despite those interceptions. So that's how good they

427
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: can be if they if he figures out he doesn't

428
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: have to win the game with every throw right sometimes

429
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: check it down. It's okay. Pollard and Zeke will do

430
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: a nice job. You don't have to fit it into

431
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: this tight little window all the time, and and that

432
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: kind of gets them in trouble. But other than that,

433
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: if the other guys will catch the ball and quit tipping,

434
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: I think tip passes, did you intercept? You get any?

435
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all turn the page, man, y'all a turn

436
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: the baby. Y'all still going Dakota, go to Dakota. Any

437
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: drop passes they have to intercept. You know what we

438
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: were about that it's a new season. Season, new season, man,

439
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: you better look. I just want this team to believe

440
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: in who they are. This is this is who is

441
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: this team? And that's the question at the end of

442
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: the season. Look a little different than it earlier in

443
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: the season. But this is a very good football team.

444
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: This is a Super Bowl champion type football team. I

445
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: honestly believe that. I think they have the personnel that

446
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: that's that's there. I think the coaching staff is a

447
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: really strong coaching staff. It's just the belief that every

448
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: week that they have to play at a high level,

449
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play at a high It's not

450
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: like they just can dominate anyone. It's not gonna it's

451
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: not happening that way, right, But every game has to

452
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: be the intent of we're gonna this is a battle.

453
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna play four quarters. We're gonna hit you in

454
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: the mouth. We might get pushing them out, but in

455
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: the end, we're gonna be there if they just have

456
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: that belief. Because I think that I think this organization

457
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: has the belief in the players. I'm not sure if

458
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: the players truly truly believe that they can get this done,

459
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: because I think they what we are looking at. Is

460
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: this the team that went forty to three against the

461
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and dominated from start to finish, Or is

462
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: this the team that needed the ninety eight yards drive

463
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: to beat the Houston Texans at AT and T Stadium?

464
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: Which Cowboys? Which version of this team shows up in

465
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: your mind against Tampa on Monday night. I just think,

466
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: and I was selling, I'm not this game will be

467
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: won or lost with our offensive line. They have to

468
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: set tempo. I don't care how we go, I don't

469
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: care how good the defensive play. It's still gonna come

470
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: down to this depen's mind. I remember we was getting

471
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs and Jimmy did this two or

472
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: three times when we was getting ready for the playoffs.

473
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: He would come never coming out offensive line meeting room

474
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: and the last game of the year going into the

475
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: first playoff game, and three times he did he say, fellas,

476
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: I need for y'all to be as good as y'all

477
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: can be as a unit because I have skilled players.

478
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: I need for y'all to be the best y'all can be.

479
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: So these guys kid can do what they need to

480
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: do now. Jimmy was a defensive guy. He hung out

481
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: with the defense, right, but he knew in the playoffs,

482
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: your quarterback had to be standing strong, Yeah, and and

483
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: be and be flawless. Yeah. Yeah, you say, I got

484
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: the skilled position players, y'all have to win this further,

485
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: So he kind of threw us a little bone, made

486
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: us feel like we were important. Important. I believe that.

487
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: And you know what happens here and I don't know

488
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: if it happens in other cities. Right, did San Francisco

489
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: go into overtime to beat was it the Raiders? Raiders? Ye?

490
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: Did anybody ask him? Are you this team? Or you

491
00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: that absolutely they won? Right? Did anybody ask Kansas when

492
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: they struggled with Houstonian? Thing that hurts the Dallas Cowboys

493
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: the team that hurts us number one? You gotta understand

494
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: with the most recognizable team. So when you don't have

495
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: back to back games where you show people what you

496
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: can be, are you don't go at least into the

497
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs, people wonder about it, and

498
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 1: I understand that, Yeah, let's sweat, let's seat equity. You're

499
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: not gonna win every game. You could leave and go

500
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: on to Jacksonville where nobody really cares. But this is

501
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: how it is created, this monster y'all super Bowls. But

502
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: Tampa's gone through the same thing, like you just said,

503
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Like who would have thought that Tampa would have overcame something?

504
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: They lost three straight games earlier in the season. Who

505
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: would have thought they would have overcame that? And they're

506
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: still in trouble in some areas of that team, they're

507
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: not as strong as as they've been in the past

508
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: as well, So all the teams that I want to see.

509
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: This is a team that I wanted to do. You

510
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: know when when they lost that game to Washington, I

511
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: wanted to be sarcastic, and I didn't think everybody would

512
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: understand the humor, so I backed off. But I wanted

513
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: to say, see, they wanted to play Tampa Bay. They

514
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: didn't want nothing to do with Green Bay. They got

515
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: kicked off the plane. Look, you need have to worry

516
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: about green bagest Green Bay off themselves in the final

517
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: game against the Detroit Lions before we go to our

518
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: next break there. I want to ask you this, because

519
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: this is a defense under Dan Quinn for the second

520
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: year in a row, number one in the NFL and

521
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: takeaways number one in the NFL and turnover differential. What's

522
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: the difference though this time around for this team to

523
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: be able to have the kind of performance that we've

524
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: seen from them at times dominate during the regular seas,

525
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: especially during the first half of the You. Look, your

526
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: playmates got make playmakers have to make plays. I honestly

527
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: feel that way. I think the one thing that really

528
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 1: stands out to me is ken they first of all,

529
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: can't you stop to run in the middle of that defense?

530
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: They can't get pushed around the middle of the defense.

531
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: If they can get it a third long stop, I

532
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: know where you're going on there. But if they can

533
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: get him in third and long, that's when they are

534
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: at their best. They are pass rush specialist, period. That's

535
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: their strength. They ain't youngs is lining up and muscle

536
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: you around and stop the run all the time be

537
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: consisted that way. But if they get you in third

538
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: and long, they'll let the dogs loose and the and

539
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: and they can make plays on the back end. This

540
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: is the best safety group I've seen them having a

541
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: long time. I mean, they're they're deep, curses, Donovan Wilson,

542
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're deep in that situation. My concern

543
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: was last week when when when dron Bland went down.

544
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: That concerned me last week hopeing he's back, he's backte

545
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: and you still I think, I think they really have

546
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: some guys that can make They have playmakers on this

547
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: defense that those guys have to step up and play

548
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: at the at an elite level. This week. At one point,

549
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: one point in the game, you're out there with out

550
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: three of your top four corners, right Bland goes out, Yeah,

551
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: you already Anthony Brown's out, Jordan Lewis is out. What

552
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: do you think is gonna happen? They're throwing the ball

553
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: over to your left side, they're right side right. Do

554
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: you think Tom Brady's already figured? They're definitely Mike Evans,

555
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: Chris Gottwin look in their chop sets. Well, that's why

556
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: that pass rush has to control the quarterback, Nate before

557
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: we go to break. I want to ask you this

558
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: because looking not just at the offense line, but the

559
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: offense as a whole. Keller Moore coming under some criticism

560
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: the way things have been falling over the last several weeks.

561
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: What do you want to see from a game plan

562
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: standpoint to attack tie balls in this defense? Give us

563
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: some of the playmakers they have on that defense to

564
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: stay even with the chains. Just stay even with the change,

565
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, don't don't don't put us in a third

566
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: We don't need to be third and seven thirty six.

567
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: If we can stay around third and four thirty five.

568
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: Because they got a great run defense, I'm gonna give

569
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: them that credit. But we gotta stay right thirty five

570
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: or less. We gotta be there majority of the time,

571
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: and third and four is the ideal down to be in.

572
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: But that's what we gotta do. And I don't think

573
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: nothing is wrong with our coordinator. I used to be

574
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: on him all the time. This kid is calling I

575
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: think some decent games. But now and I hate to

576
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: come back to this. Can the office line execute? That's right? Yeah?

577
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Can they hold up? Can our office the line hold

578
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: up at the most important time? That's third down? Keep

579
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: the change movement? What do you do on first and

580
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: second down to enable your coordinator to be able to

581
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: call this place? You know the thing about Tod bows

582
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna bring pressure pressure. Can they handle death and White? Yes?

583
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: Off the blitz? Can they? Can they match up? And

584
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: and and look, Zeke's gonna have to do his job.

585
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: Paul's gonna have to do his job to protect him.

586
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: But but Todd Bowse is gonna bring pressure, yes, which

587
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: is gonna allow Dak to have some one on one

588
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: situations that can open up. And that's what del Rio did, right,

589
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: That's right. He was aggressive and they had nothing to

590
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: lose either, by the way, true, uh so he he was. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Cowboys Club at the Star in fris Go. Gentlemen, We're

611
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick pause here to talk about the

612
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: mental preparation for the playoffs. Darren, This Cowboys team has

613
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: a lot of expectations on it, given the amount of

614
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: talent that's on this team. What does the mental focus

615
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: in preparation look like during the week of practice, in

616
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: the meetings on the practice field, as you get ready

617
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: for what is the second season? That is the proceeds

618
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: look And I think that's where the game is won.

619
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: The game is won out on Monday night, there'll be

620
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: one on the preparation and then paying attention to the

621
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: details of what the game plan looks like. And again,

622
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you how much extra film

623
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: work you gotta do a little bit more extra film work.

624
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: You gotta put it in a little extra time. And

625
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: I said it earlier. Your leaders have to stand up

626
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: and call you to the to the map. They got

627
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: the tyrant. Smith's got to depending on what your legacy

628
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: wants to be in this league. I'm serious, what does

629
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 1: your legacy want to be with Zach Martin, you want

630
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: to be a guy who's who always got got close

631
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: but never got there. Yeah, Well, these are the times

632
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: where you have to stay up up and be that

633
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: type of leader. And it's not just those guys I'm

634
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: talking to coaching staff. Everyone needs to hold themselves accountable

635
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: for this week in the preparation and leading up to

636
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: this extra film, doing the little things, and then finding

637
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: out what happens on once you get to the Nate

638
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: said it early. Once you get there on Monday, you've

639
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: already put that work in games won. You've already won

640
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: that game. Nate, who was the guy in that locker

641
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: room offensively, defensively that knew what time it was to

642
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: get the team and rally them together, to know what

643
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of moment you'll had to prepare for. You know what,

644
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: Our defense as a whole was kind of like that.

645
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: If you go back and you name my star players,

646
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: Darren Woodson, even James Washington, Charles Haley, Ken Norton, if

647
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: you beat Tony Tober, all of these guys were natural

648
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: guys that saw a bigger picture. They saw themselves in

649
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: a bigger rim that guys like Sension myself, who was

650
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: hard parties and had like to have fun. I had

651
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: to the side. I'm I had to be pulled to

652
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: the side. John's like Hey man, you're gonna get to

653
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: make your film. I see you're already gathering your bags.

654
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: Than Eric Williams like that. He was a natural film studier.

655
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: And so when the playoffs came, big fellow, big fellow,

656
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, can we get a little extra I'm being honest. Yeah,

657
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: Mark Tool was like that. Everybody's not built like that.

658
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: So certain guys that could reach out and touch that

659
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: guy who's not like that, you know. And so now

660
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and I'm looking at Woody, I'm looking

661
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: at Eric. I'm like, Wow, these dudes are doing everything

662
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: they can because they have a bigger picture. And so

663
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: that made me. I knew when Playoff came the party

664
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: and cut down drastically, acting, the food, cut down the

665
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: jokes one as much. When I walked in the door,

666
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: it was lockdown sign. The practices were crisp. Yeah, you

667
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: got through practices again. I always when I first came

668
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: in to the league, my first year, I was so

669
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: nervous to be the guy like I didn't want to

670
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: be the guy that let down James Washington and Ken

671
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: Norton set. I didn't want to be that guy like

672
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: I didn't want them to be like Hey, I gave

673
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: up a touchdown the game and they look at me

674
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: and go, just because you studying, I wasn't gonna be

675
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: that dude. And that's the same thing. You got to

676
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: hold each other accountable. And this time of the year,

677
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: because it's one and done, you lose. This is not baseball.

678
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: You got seven games. This is not basketball. Next week,

679
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's one and done. So put everything in

680
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: the preparation leading up to this. Easier and harder to

681
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: play the same team again that you played earlier in

682
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: the season and that was so long ago. Yeah, I

683
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: mean it's always harder when you're playing like you're playing

684
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: a red like that. You play Philadelphia, the Washington the Commanders, Yeah,

685
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: I get it. Played in Philadelphia again for the third time. Yeah,

686
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: but that but Tampa, No, that was the first game

687
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: of the season. You've had a full season to get through.

688
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. It's going around their way

689
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: either harder. No, No, they're like a different team. You're

690
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: a different team and everybody we we've we've had to

691
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: go through rollbuson downs. They don't do there. At the

692
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: same time, totally different team. It's one game. Let's take

Speaker 1: Just describe what this journey has been to get to

721
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: this moment, to be on the cusp of knocking on

722
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: cannon stool. It's like a rollercoaster of Rod Kevin. I

723
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: it's and it's been that way. You know, you know

724
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: I would I would be lying to you, and I've

725
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: had so many even mit because probably known that I

726
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: have lied and have been like, ah, it's not that

727
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: big of McDill. Yeah, bullshit. But it's the reality, man.

728
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: The reality is, like you played this game for a reason.

729
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: I can remember waking up early in the morning every

730
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: day at five fifteen and getting to the to the

731
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: locker room to get treatment and working out and doing

732
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: all the little things that it took, like, I mean,

733
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: those are the that's the work that I put in, man.

734
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: And I know my peers and the guys that played

735
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: with me, they saw the work that I put in.

736
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: And here's the thing that really that really, you know,

737
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: has been arm me for the longest time. You know,

738
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: all those years of playing on those teams and so

739
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: many I mean I'm talking about number one defenses. I'm

740
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 1: talking about defenses that went into the Super Bowl, turned

741
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: the ball over five times, and yeah, you know we

742
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: had cases where Larry Brown was a Super Bowl MVB. Heck,

743
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: James Washington probably could have been in Super Bowl mv

744
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: people in ninety three, right, he has so many great

745
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: players that played in that time. And I want to

746
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: represent those dudes, man. I mean, we won championships because

747
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: the way our defense played. Of course, our offense was outstanding,

748
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: but you know, I want to repres that those dudes, man,

749
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: And that's that's what really drives me and has always

750
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, I want to be in because

751
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: I want to stand up there one day and say, man,

752
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: these these are my dogs. They used to hunt and

753
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: name them all and name every last one of them. Man,

754
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: that won those championships with me, Nathan bona Fide speak

755
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: for themselves. When it comes to Darren Woodson's career. Why

756
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: does Darren Woodson belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

757
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: As you know him as a teenmate, because he eat

758
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: the things he just said, the greatness he was, the

759
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: he was. It was brought to my attention while he

760
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: was playing wood He look at wood He down in

761
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: the slot. Even today you can't find safeties. Yeah, I

762
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: hear about curse. Great guy. He's down on a tight end.

763
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: Woody was on wide receivers, covering them year in year out.

764
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: He played on all four major special teams year in

765
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: the year out. First he made plays. He made plays

766
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: for us. See you know, yes, he's a hell of

767
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: a man off the field, but he was equal or

768
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: hell of a man only field. If these guys old

769
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: and young would go in and watch the film, but

770
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, I make nothing against you. But it's one

771
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: thing to go and say, hey, what do you think

772
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: about this guy? Won't you go watch some film? Yeah,

773
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: when this guy played and he came in as a rookie,

774
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: forcing issues, they had to debate whether we start him now.

775
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: She would wait the year she was and when he

776
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: finally started, he never looked back. He was an intricate part.

777
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: He was one of the few guys that could speak

778
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: to our offense, and we would look as a whole team,

779
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: everybody as much as we love Emmy, Emmy gonna crying

780
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: and winding. But when what he say, hey, fellas, come on,

781
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: I would have got to the ball back two times.

782
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: Role Yeah, we get more than five players. We need

783
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: the rest. You know, that was so funny. I think

784
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: about our teams back there. You talked about the volatility

785
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: and the things that were said on the sidelines to

786
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we're championship teams, but we used to go

787
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: at each other. Shut up, mind your own business, like

788
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: biting and all this stuff like, but that's what That's

789
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: how we were made. That's how Jimmy brought this team together,

790
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: and that's why we were champion because we could get

791
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: over it, like, yeah, maybe I said something and Newt

792
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: would custom me out on the sidelines whatever, get in

793
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: the locker room and be like, all right, you know, hey,

794
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Hey, where we're going tonight?

795
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: Where we're going to night? But you all knew what

796
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: the collective goal was that's right, championships and all three

797
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: units needing to be together in that way, Mickey, when

798
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: you look at Darren's career, make the case for him.

799
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: I don't know how he has gone through the roller coaster. Yeah,

800
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: because I'm almost tired of going blew in my face

801
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: trying to explain to people how he was important to

802
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: this team and those championships. I've said it over and

803
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: over again. He was the heart and soul of that defense.

804
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson told me after your rookie year when he

805
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: came in from Arizona State, yea, and Jimmy was like, well,

806
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: he was a highbred linebacker. We want him to play safety.

807
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about the transition. We'll just let him

808
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: play special teams. After that year, before the ninety three

809
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,439
Speaker 1: season started, Jimmy came up to me and he goes,

810
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: that was one of the biggest mistakes I made in

811
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: my coaching career. He was ready to play as a

812
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: rookie and he was right. And I'm guessing Joe Avazzano

813
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: was thinking, Oh, I'm great ed Woodson out here, right,

814
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: and all I've told people when they asked me about him,

815
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: I said, don't look at the stats. Now, if you

816
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: want to look at a stat think about all the

817
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: great defensive players the Cowboys have had. No one's had

818
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: more tackles than him. That shouldn't mean a lot. But

819
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: all I tell people, turn on the tape. Just turn

820
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: the tape on and watch what he's done and what

821
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: he did, and tell me these other safeties got got in.

822
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: They can't hold a candle to him. Yeah right, John Lynch,

823
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? And I see you know somebody

824
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: brought up last week Corneal Lake. Cornell Lake. Okay, fine,

825
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: he was a Steeler, Right, let's get me going on this,

826
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: you know. And and I've saved myself from writing this yet,

827
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: and I'm waiting for the right time. As a matter

828
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: of fact, one of the guys that votes, he came

829
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: in before the Washington game to cover the Cowboys for

830
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: a couple of days and I started on him, and

831
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: he this man, I just wanted to make sure when

832
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: I asked him about you know, safeties and and Eagles. Yeah,

833
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and he covered the Bears. So

834
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: but anyway, yeah, there's I don't know what else we

835
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: can say. Yeah, right, they gotta listen at some point,

836
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 1: but just turn the tape on. Got about three minutes

837
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: left before we get out of here, and we hope

838
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: that Canton's door is waiting for you to be opened

839
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 1: into immortality because you deserve that call. And it is

840
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: high time that Darren Woodson being the Pro Football Hall

841
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: of Fame. So bust of luck to you and the

842
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: rest of your journey is you get ready to step

843
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: into Canton's stores. Let's talk about this real quick before

844
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: we go. Cowboys Bucks, Monday Night Football seven fifteen and Tampa.

845
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask Nate because I know what they're

846
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: gonna say. He's gonna tick the Cowboys one to handle

847
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: the business, either by one or by a hundred. It

848
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: don't matter by hook or by crook. Nate says, the

849
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna win. So don't even worry about your name.

850
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: I got you. Make you real quick thirty seconds. Tell

851
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: me why the Cowboys defeat Tom Brady team. They're a

852
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 1: better team and they need to play like they are

853
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: a team. I saw something. You know, everybody makes a

854
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: big deal about running the football, and I know you

855
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: gotta run the football. Tampa Bay has other than the

856
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: opening game, they haven't run the football. You know how

857
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: many times Tom Brady has thrown the ball this year?

858
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: Take a guess what would be normal. Yeah, seven hundred

859
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: thirty three attempts, seven thirty three. They've only run the

860
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: ball like four or five hundred times. So I'm thinking

861
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: you stopped to run unlike they did in the first game,

862
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: and get after him because you know where he's gonna be.

863
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: These last quarterbacks they played, Yea, they're all over the place, right,

864
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna be right there. So this defense has to

865
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: play well. And this thing about seven and oh against

866
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you know when's the first time he beat

867
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys his last year. There's nobody on this team

868
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: that lost that game, right, So again seven and oh

869
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter as as they asked jay Ron Curse today

870
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: about it, and he said, they said, how badly do

871
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: you want to beat Tom Brady? He said, I want

872
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers real bad. And it's

873
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: a team not we're talking losing to Brady when he

874
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: was going to Super Bowls, right right? Yeah, so thirty

875
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: seconds before we let you look, you're veteran players, man,

876
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: The dogs that have been in that room, that have

877
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: have gone through it for so long that again I'm

878
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna go doing those names against as Zach Marts, the

881
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: a huge game. And I know the dude on the

882
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: other side gets a lot of the pub but when

883
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: it's the he's stopping to run, becoming a leader, being

884
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: a leader, rushing the past or doing all the little things. Man,

885
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: d Law, this is his time, this is their time.

886
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: This is the time when those veteran players are going

887
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: to step up and represent this organization in the right way.
