Cowboys. This is the 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.640 player's loud broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:24.439 the Star.

I'm new, he scrugs. The 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.360 two safeties. The players are out today, Danny Mccraigberry Church. 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.320 But that's okay, that's okay. We can ride this thing together. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.440 It takes two to make the thing go right. It's 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.560 player with the er player with an A and its 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.320 player with an A to day players only. This is 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.760 what happens when the players here by way right right, 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.360 and they went by, they went by by, They went 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.560 by by. Good sound good Cowboys with a forty nine 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:06.639 twenty nine and victory over in Chicago Bears at Jerry World. 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.880 I have a concern, but I have a lot of positives. No, No, 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:20.960 you gotta worry with a big wig. I know it 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.399 has it should it really shouldn't have. Really, honestly, your 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.640 worries shouldn't go away I am. I am on the 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.839 same page. Uh no, I'm a page before your page. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.880 I'm leading up to it because, like I said the 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.480 last week, man, if you if all I look at 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.400 is the stat sheet and I see that they've rushed 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.040 for two hundred and fifty yards and they ran for 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.160 two forty, Okay, I'm without even seeing what's on our side. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.720 I'm going to assume that we lost that game. We 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:55.400 didn't one by twenty one by twenty yeah, go ahead. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.520 So that's great because there's a certain section of fans 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.600 that when you ring up the fact that the Bears 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.160 had rolled off two hundred and forty yards on forty 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:09.200 three cars, Hey, one by twenty, you shouldn't worried about that. No, no, folks, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:14.320 here's what I'm saying to you. This is the Bears 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.200 and you were able to beat them. When you start 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.640 to ask yourself, is that going to be good enough 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.359 to face Minnesota, who is looking like a playoff team 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.800 they only have one loss when they send Dalvin Cook 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.840 and Alexander Madison at you, Okay, it's gonna be a 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.959 challenge for you. It's gonna be a challenge when you 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.959 start trying to go into the playoffs against good teams, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.760 They're gonna run the football line. So it's a worry 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.520 for me. Cowboys so many positives. I'll get to all 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.840 the positives, but I just want to say that what 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.119 worried me before the game continues to worry me after 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.480 this game. That's a lot of rushing yards now the 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.600 Bears and Nick Eatman pointed this out, and nickimn Dallas 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.080 Cowboys dot Com and say, hey, look that's all they 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.440 want to do. Even they were behind, they were just 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.240 trying to run the ball. That's their thing. So hey, 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.080 go ahead and run the ball. But I keep thinking 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.920 about what I know Cowboy fans care about the most. 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.200 They want to go to the playoffs and go a 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.120 couple rounds. I'm gonna have to figure out how to 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.919 stop this run. And they got a bye week. Hey 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.560 go ahead, jump jump in the lab, Dan Quinn, see 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.600 what you come up with. They get ready to face 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.840 the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Jones AJ dialing, you know 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.040 what the plan is going to be? You know what 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.919 the plans go right now? Right now you're facing the 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.119 cowbol blueprint. We were trying to run the ball. Yeah, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.440 and let's see how they fix it, you know. And 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.880 I also think that offensively, you found a formula that's 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:43.000 gonna work for you in playoffs scenarios. Right, And we 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.160 talked all last week about what if, what if? What if? 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.280 What if? And then Sunday morning we get up and 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.400 we know that Zeke isn't going to play, Tony Pollard's 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.800 gonna get the nod to star Malie Davis is going 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.360 to play as well. And what is that aesthetically going 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.240 to be like? And I think Tony Pollard, I don't 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.560 think he quieted anybody. I think what he did was 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:09.040 he made the It's a little bit louder. As far 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.680 as what people have been saying is his ability as 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.880 a running back, he still didn't catch any balls. I mean, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.239 I think his greatest asset, as well as his playmaking ability, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.440 is being able to be a receiver out of the 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.840 backfield and playing in the slot. We didn't see any 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.440 of that yesterday. There were so many wrinkles to Kelly 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.080 Moore's game plan that I thought were wonderful, and I 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.440 think you can see now with Dak being healthy, those 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.279 things that he can unfold as the game plan goes, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.400 As the game goes along. This is a win. This 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:44.479 offensive formula can get them through a playoff victory. Okay, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.080 that's all that. Like you said, fans, that's all we 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.000 want is a playoff victory. Go further right. Defensively, though, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.679 you cannot allow and Chicago, that's all they had, okay, 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.960 was running the ball. That defensive scheme. Let's just say, look, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.680 Chicago's gonna be a problem for a lot people here 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:05.240 pretty soon because they got uh ebra Flus has a 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.840 lot of cap space, and he's got a lot of 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.360 contracts that's gonna expire. This is gonna be a really 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:16.240 good Chicago Bears team while you can all right. Because defensively, 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.080 I mean, look we did some things against him, but offensively, 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.880 that running game and justin fields is he's everything that 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.480 we thought that he would he is. But this guy 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.240 Khalil Herbert as a running back, his ability man just 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.679 in between the tackles is tough running ability, short yardage. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.880 I mean, he's a game breaker. And um, I was 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.600 really impressed with the way that he ran um their 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.560 offer and they stayed committed to it. But I'm sure 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.680 Nia you're sitting there watching them going, man, y'all take 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.040 it away too much time half of the clock just 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.040 to get seven points. And so that's that is the 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.360 thing about running the ball. You sound find yourself down 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.200 by a couple of scores and you're having there, don't 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.440 have any other aspect of your offensive scheme to get 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:03.880 you back in the game, and you have to run 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.000 the ball for seven eight minutes at a time. I 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.360 think any any team is gonna take that. Yeah, they 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.160 weren't trying to win at that point that because it 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.200 wasn't gonna win. You weren't. You weren't going to go 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.520 on sustained drives running the football there. So I also 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:16.800 want to make sure I say this when I talk 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:23.479 about my worry. Every team has warts. Never forget Chuck 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.120 Daily talking about that, every team has Duck Collins. Your 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.440 job is to fix them, cover them up. Rams. Last 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.960 year one Super Bowl when some offensive line play that 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.760 was like okay, it's okay, but it was enough to 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.720 win because guess who who they played in Cincinnati, they 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.120 offensive line play the worse. So so you can have 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.080 some warts and win a championship. You can sit up 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.159 here and have some worries and be able to cover 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.000 them up enough to win. Okay, we've seen teams win 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.760 championships with a couple of years. Maybe not strong here. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.600 You're not gonna be strong everywhere. No one is okay. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.720 You ain't gonna line up twenty two and just say 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.880 we're strong everybody. It's not gonna happen. But how do 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.360 you deal with your words? I said it last night 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.600 on Channel five Wanta say one more time. Give Mike 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:16.000 McCarthy credit for saving this season. When everyone outside of 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.800 you had you stayed on the train. You stayed, you 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:26.720 kept your seat on Bury Church buckled and ejected. I 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.560 was like, man, I don't see how the thing Mike 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.360 McCarthy capital float, Yeah, okay, capital float. Yesterday when I 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.360 saw the inactors, I was like, oh man, this is 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.040 not this is not this isn't good league. Hooker's out, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.600 Zekiel's out to just look at the inactors or something. Man, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.720 this I thought it was gonna be a close games. Like, man, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.120 this sounds like a close gaming because the Cowboys have 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.400 been able to win football games and been fortunate winning 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.000 games with other guys stepping up and playing like they 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.080 keep bringing the next man up. They keep doing it. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.440 I thought, man, maybe this might this. I thought they 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.120 would win, but I thought it's gonna be a tough 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.320 dog fight to do it. They ended up okay, man 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.280 when when by twenty points. And that's why I went 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.080 back and I said on Channel five last give Mike 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.280 McCarthy credit. The same guy who people, Hey, here comes 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.200 Sean Payton. Ain't gonna make it this guy that Give 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.240 this man all the credit because I thought it was done. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.240 A lot of people thought this thing was good luck, 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.800 good One game in you came to course touchdown and 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:31.280 you don't have dak this. No, they're six and two, yes, 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.440 going into the bye week. Even when I added up 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.439 just what I thought, I didn't have six and two 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.080 before dad got hurt. I don't have six and jew 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:41.480 when I went through Gett didn't see that at all. 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.680 This is a heck of a coaching job and makes 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.040 you down wonder how did they lose to Tampa Bay. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.200 You look at the Bucks right now, but I mean 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.280 let them let them line up against the Bucks right now. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:53.880 The Cowboys would be favorite over the Bucks right now, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.880 absolutely favored. Just just a tremendous job. You lose your 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.920 left tack, not tack have been going so long you 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.880 don't forgot about him too. We bring him up. Oh yeah, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.559 Tyrn Smith, because Tyler Smith has performed. Well, You're left 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.600 guard went out in game one. You're starting left guard 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.400 went out in game one. It tight end is miss 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.600 games here. Franchise quarterback, running back Ezekiel Elliott, two safeties 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.880 have been out keep rolling. No, it's wonderful. And you 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.040 know what people continue to talk about the culture here 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.679 in Dallas and the way that this team has just 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.680 risen to adversity. The one thing that just really has 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.720 me on all in on this season, it's losing DAK 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.920 and the way that they performed after losing DAK. I mean, 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:38.640 that's the defense carried this offense, you know, and finally, finally, finally, finally, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.600 the offense has to has to erupt and carry because 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.160 that's what they did. That's what they have to do. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.120 There were certain points in that and I'm sure we'll 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.160 get to the Chauncey ghost and that whole rough in 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.920 the passer, which look, that's that came at a pivotal 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.280 point in the game where obviously it could have changed 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.719 the momentum completely U to the Dallas how Boys. But 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.160 you know, I really just look sit back and look 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.959 at this team and guy's like Israel mu Cuomo in 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.640 his development um as as a safety and as a 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.920 nickel corner. I mean Duran Bland we talked about how 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.319 he was gonna step in and what Duran Bland did. 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.400 I mean, there are and a lot of times, and 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.280 I've said this before that that next man up statement 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.079 is disingenuous sometime as it relates to a guy that's 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.599 a first round guy and you're replaced him with a 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.520 seventh round guy, that's just gonna be a disparity in talent. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.600 You you would believe, but these guys are just you know, Hey, 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.080 one guy goes down, the next one goes up. Tyler 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.000 Smith is doing a good job when you're not talking 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.079 about him, when you're not when you're not coming in 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.559 here on Monday saying, boy that Tyler Smith man. God like, 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.079 we can't get anything done with that rookie left tackle. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.480 He think about Draft Day? Okay, there was a lot 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.839 negative about it. Absolutely Who is this guy? Scott was 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.880 in the American This guy led led the nation and 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.720 holding yes, this guy as a project me. There were 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:06.480 so many people questioning why did they take Tyler Street this? 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.360 I guess you know now it's people forget October Halloween, 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.599 October thirty first, everybody forgets it back in April. This 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.439 was not a pick that people liked. Imagine if you 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.280 pull up the grades, Chris Bean, pull up the grade 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.320 right now, how many people gave them a see at 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.719 best about Tyler Smith? And Tyler Smith is on a 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.120 team right now, that is all it's pointing up. And 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.000 this is one of the top five football teams in 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.679 the NFL right now. And Tyler Smith has had a 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.360 major part in this. Because we're not talking about him. Um, 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.200 I can't say enough for him. I mentioned Joe Philban 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:39.839 last night is one of the coaches and just you 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.280 know what they have done. I mean, so you lose 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.040 another guard during a game, here come Jason Peters. What 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.839 they have done on the offensive line. There were a 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.640 lot of people who wanted Joe Philman gone last year. Heck, yeah, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.720 they have done forty nine points. Yeah, forty nine points 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.040 with a backup running back. Yeah, with a backup quarterback. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.280 Given a backup quarterback Cooper Rushian enough time, he'd go 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.199 out win four games. Yeah. That's why I go back 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.760 to Mike McCarthy and just for for everything that was 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:13.920 said about Mike penalties, Sean pay everything, game management, given 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.040 that same given that same energy, right, okay, given that 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:23.240 same energy. Yeah, because I didn't see this, not only 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.360 just see this, I didn't see this team continuing to roll. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:32.079 Jordan Lewis starting Nickel got out, didn't miss him, did 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.880 not once say during the game, say, didn't not once 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.000 during the game saying, oh man, that's something that Jordan 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.719 Lewis would have definitely been an or he would have 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.360 been there for that one. Hey, durn Bland comes in 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.000 and he does a good job. If the I believe 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.679 it's an end or the beginning of the I think 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.560 it's an end. Excuse me. The end of the first half, 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.520 he makes a player in the end zone clutch I 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.920 played or for the rookie, but also I tight ends 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.600 Neuis Fergan shot, Fergan's shot. These two young man, I'm 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.720 telling you, they are putting in uh in the interior. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.160 And you have again that's another credit to Keller Moore 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.199 realizing the talent that he has and saying, look, I'm 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.080 gonna put these guys in the situation where they can 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.640 help us. And those two, those two guys man yesterday, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.079 did they did that thing? I go back to and 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:20.160 and I'm not I'm not beating my chest as if 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.559 you were at practice. You could see there there's something. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.319 You can see there's something. And when Hendershot came back, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.920 I'm telling you I went back. I was in my 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.640 hotel room or getting ready to go out there. I 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.800 was like, look a look at hendershot to numbers. Hendershot's 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.520 numbers matched very well with Jake Ferguson's numbers. That Jake 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.079 was a fourth rounder and Hendershot was was not drafted. 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:41.520 But you could just see it. And even when you're 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:47.160 out there, like they're not too far apart um. Obviously 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.800 Ferguson played in an offense that, uh, blocking is his 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.920 stronger suit, but you could just see it. Training can't like, okay, 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.680 this this this one, this young one can play too. Yeah. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.120 And that goes back into the coaching and the fact 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.880 that don only do they coach well enough that they 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.160 got in the game, heck, can they know what they 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.000 were doing? You call a lot of games, man. You 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.120 see what happens when the drop off when somebody else 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.000 comes in for the starter may confusion and people what 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:17.640 they're doing. Literally, I can't say enough good things about 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.160 the coaching staff having you continue to go, who's the 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.400 next man, Who's jay Ron Curse is hurting the game, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.800 He's dealing with stuff, He's Marquis spell Undraft the fridge. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.560 I mean, the coaching and what they've done here. I 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.840 don't know if fans can truly appreciate what has happened 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.200 because you go look at other teams and people get 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.400 hurt and they go down, and it's some massive holes 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.440 and you're trying to figure out what in the world 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:46.040 we do. The Cowboys have not only stayed afloat, they 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.360 have become one of the best teams in the National 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.960 Football League. Look at eight games into this thing, it's 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.200 a good football team. Oh damn good, damn good football team. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.280 And I think I think a lot of people around 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.760 the league as much as every week they're gonna try 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.720 and take something away from a from a Cowboy victory. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.040 You know, last week, it was always just Alliance. This week, y'all, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.480 it's just as you know, and you're gonna hear that 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.400 weekend and weekend and they go into a bye week, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.960 actually meeting to get a bye because of all of 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.680 those things that you just spoke about. The coaching staff 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.200 is doing a wonderful job, but they're nicked up and 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.880 they have they're nicked up. It's a quality positions and man, 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.960 this Bible we couldn't have come at a better time 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.680 for this team. I hope, I hope a lot of 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.000 guys not only take the time off McCarthy said, anything 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.160 like for them to reconnect with their families or I 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.040 just hope I hope a lot of guys stick around 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.200 for the state point and they don't even go anywhere. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.800 Just just rest, don't don't get on a plane with it. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.880 Just get on the right now. You know, they obviously 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.840 fly different than we do. You know some of these 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.400 buried churches. Man, yeah, yeah, I have to go to 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:53.000 the airport. No we do, but no, but literally to 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.440 be going since August, yeah, the way they have been 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.720 going since August. To have this break here at Halloween week, literally, 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.480 I know some guys may want to get away, but man, 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.520 if you just sat around here just rested, that wouldn't 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.200 be a bad thing either. But they've earned the right 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:07.840 to go places. But you know a lot of guys 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.280 I had to go home to their colleges, but to 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.040 sit around here chilling, Hey, we talked about those draft grades. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.360 Talk about Tyler Smith.

But it's okay, 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.520 it's victory Monday, Bye weekday on the bottom Um Tyler Smith. 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.360 We were talking about Tyler Smith and how Tyler has 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.720 come in left tackle. Did not spend any time at 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.000 training camp at left tackles at left guard? Okay, he 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.159 was at left guard and the kid has done an 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.840 outstanding job. Tyrann Smith apparently is on his way back, 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.439 according to Stephen Stephen Jones at three or four weeks back, 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.240 and he says to coach Joe Philiber have an interesting 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:00.840 thing on his hand to figure out, you know, how 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.800 to put the five best out here. Stephen Jones believes 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.120 the tyres it's one of the five best guys. We'll 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.200 get into that later on, but going back to draft day, 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.600 Tyler Smith of Fort Worth drafted out of Tulsa. One 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.160 of the things that I kept hearing is people saying 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.480 that had he not gone to the draft, let's just 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.439 say he transferred somewhere, that that there were schools wanting him, 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.040 you know, in Alabama type school they were the big 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.760 schools wanted. Today they realized that, hey man, this guy 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.440 is better than Tulsa, and so he could have gone 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:35.399 there like jabro Cox went from not yeah, North Dakota 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.240 State down LSU. Could have been that kind of situation 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:39.919 because then you know, at that point in time, if 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.680 he's at Alabama first round pick, nobody, he's fine. But 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:48.000 becoming out of Tulsa people are criticizing. So Crisp, tell 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.240 me those draft grades again on Tyler Smith when he 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:52.800 came out of Tulsa was the first round picking the 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.880 Cowboys in general draft grades obviously for the whole draft, 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.560 So NFL dot Com gave the Cowboys a one. They 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.880 gave him a C okay overall grade for the draft. 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.399 Um Day one, they gotta C. Day two, they got 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.320
