The Golden Bears, big Golden Bears, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.719 trying to be golden again. They are a really good 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.680 football team, so that's gonna be exciting to watch. And 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.320 the high school ranks. Of course, the state championships held 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.800 at and T Stadium, and there's a lot of good 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.440 games gonna be going on here in a couple of weeks. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.400 I know you mentioned we're getting Lorena on the high 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.320 school or on the on the show. Today there's Lorena 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.080 High school in down in Waco. That's going to the 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.839 state champion That's where my wife went, Is it really? Yeah?

Yeah, the first time 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.880 in a long time. I think Lorena is going. So 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:23.440 there you got. Yeah. Chris is on point today, Mario drop. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.960 Chris is saying it with your chest, Robo. This is 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.279 a pleasure of me to finally get to do for 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.159 the first time in three days news and notes. What's 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.360 going on in Cowboys name? You got this? My god? 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.440 Where do you want to start? Exactly where do we 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.720 want to Let's start with Mike McCarthy and Ron Rivera. 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.280 You want to set with injuries? What do you want 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.039 to start? Start with injuries? Then I want to have 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.919 a conversation about Mike McCarthy Ron Rivera. Okay, well, I 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.320 mean actually the injury report for the Cowboys looks fairly 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:56.239 clean this week, with a couple exceptions. Um Tony Pollard 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.600 not practicing for two straight days now. He told us 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.599 yesterday he would be likely a game time decision Sunday, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.359 and he said when he that last tackle he broke 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.680 on the fifty eight yard touchdown. He I don't know 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.400 if you've had this injury, Isaiah, He felt a little 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.680 teared his player of fascia, which fasis. That is very painful. 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.880 You don't know if you've had it too. But so 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.440 we'll see on that um that that's the biggest injury 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.039 of note for the Cowboys this week, and obviously Zeke's 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.880 still playing through it. Mike McCarthy said yesterday he felt 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.039 like both guys would play, but Tony Pollard does not 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.680 practice this week, so we'll see plane or frasciaitis. I'm 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.000 no good no. He said in the interview that like 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:40.720 the fact that you tear it all the way through 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.760 it actually heals quicker. That made no sense to me. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.680 Makes zero sense to me either, because it's an irritating thing. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.560 It's like it's a it's like a irritant. It's like rubbing, right, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.839 So it's like this tending and it gets very very inflame. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.200 So if you tear it through it and then you 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.120 don't have to really deal with irritation exactly. So that's 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.240 actually a benefit. But people who have plan a frasciatus, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.440 there's a lot of just regular citizens out there to 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.599 have plan a fasciat. It sucks. I've never personally had it, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.480 but I see the pain on people's faces that are 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:07.960 dealing with it, and it's one of those things that 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.360 just stays with you. You got to calm that that 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.640 thing now. So the fact that he hasn't practiced for 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.520 two days makes sense. The fact that he's a game 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.840 time decision. Yeah, it will be that. I want to say, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.280 Terrence knew him and Tenu did the same thing. It 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.640 was like partially torn, and they did say that it's 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.280 actually better to tear it. It's almost like sometimes it's 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.920 better to break a bone than sprain something. Yeah, because 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.040 you know it's gonna heal and all that stuff. So 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.400 we'll see. Also, Noah Brown on IR, Yeah, so is 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.520 it the semi show this week? I don't know. Cedric 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.680 Wilson is back to practice on a limited basis, so 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.000 maybe he can go this week. So those are the 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.680 two think when you go IR at this point, are 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.800 you done for the year. No, it's a it's a 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.160 three game minimum still, and Mike said maybe a couple 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.280 of weeks, So it's gonna be three weeks okay. And 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.679 then obviously you know Randy and Neville Gallimore have continued 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.960 to practice this week on IR, so that's pointing towards 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.680 you would think being activated this weekend. That's a COVID change, right, 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.680 because it used to be that way, whereas this late 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.280 in the season, it was the end of the year 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.000 for you if you were on IR. But now that 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.800 it's it's an unlimited IR. Yeah you can. You can 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.240 do it all the way for the three weeks, all 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.160 the way through, right, Yeah, and you still got what 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.800 five five weeks left in the season, four four after 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.000 this week? Yeah? Got you? Isaiah, do you have a question? 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.000 I just want to know what happened to Noah Brown. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.239 It's a groin injury. I'm not sure how it happened, 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.680 but must have happened in the game. Those suck no 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.400 fun at all. All right, let's talk about Mike McCarthy. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.079 This is another example of our show going early. We 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.959 just missed something that's like the story of the day, man, 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.679 I know, and we also get talked about it. We 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.360 get the pros and cons, we get to go first 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.480 after wins and losses and stuff like that. But that 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.280 would have been fun to talk about, but now we 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.640 get to talk about it on Say It with your 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.000 chest Friday, because that's exactly what Mike McCarthy did. He 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.040 said it with his chest, and Chris Beam's got a 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.679 cute up in the back. Here is Mike McCarthy and 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.280 his press conference yesterday, a virtually guaranteeing the Cowboys getting 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.880 a win over the Washington football team. We know what 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.839 people think of us. We love that. We're comfortable who 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.240 we are where we are. But I'm excited about what's 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.680 in front of us because you know, we you know, 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.600 we're gonna win this game. I'm confident in that and 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.480 just you know the prep that's going into it. But 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.840 more importantly, we're gonna you know, we want to improve 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.480 too along the way. So I think that's all part 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.480 about what the challenge of December of football gid you. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.040 We are going to win this game. I'm confident in that. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.080 That's the quote that everybody has taken. Everybody's run with it. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.840 I think it wasn't supposed to be a guarantee as 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.400 much as it was a confidence meter from Mike McCarthy, 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.440 but I like it either way. I kind of wanted 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.600 to be a guarantee we're gonna score. Yeah. So back wow, 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:58.200 So breaking up trauma. Are you okay over there? No, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.520 there's a dude that coaches the DVS on there's somebody 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:06.679 had a part of that. So what do you think 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:11.280 about that, Isaiah? I like it internally. I like it 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.760 internally just because of the fact that you know, things 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.760 like that situation I just I just mentioned can come 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.840 back and bite you. I have no problem with his confidence. 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.400 I have no problem with it at all. It's you know, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.079 it's some some organizations like you to come out, I 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.599 come out to jump out of the cake, as he 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.559 will say, and say that and kind of make that announcement. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.800 I'm sure he said that internally, which is not an issue, 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.560 but when you can pronounce that to the masses, it 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.640 can be perceived as a negative thing. But I like 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.560 the confidence. I'm just not sure that I would want 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.360 my head coach run it around saying that. No, we 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.160 talked a little bit about coaching beefs over the years, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.320 and we haven't had any coaching beefs. And I love 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:52.200 the fact that Rivera responded immediately. I've been looking for 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.760 that Buddy Ryan Jimmy Johnson kind of thing going on, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.280 and we don't have it anymore. But I will say this. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.960 I love the confidence of Mike McCarthy and he can't 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.920 when either way it goes. If someone had ask him, 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.920 you're guarantee to win this way, he didn't answer. All 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.800 he doesn't have confidence in the squad. So it's a 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.640 catch twenty two around here. You love him when he doesn't. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.160 You know, everything he does is under the microscope. But 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.800 when he says something bold, you know, oh he should 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.319 never Who is he to say to guarantee? Coaches over 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.040 the years have guaranteed wins. Jimmy Johnson has done that before. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.839 I mean, hell, you think about boxing Muhammad Alisa, I'm 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.840 gonna knock you out in around four. So, I mean, look, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.360 sometimes your mouth can write a check that your ass can't, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:36.880 but it draws. Hey. But when you hey, but when 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.760 you got it, when you got the bulty to back 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.000 it up. And when we go through that, when we 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.120 go through the airport terminal, what we fly private anyway, Look, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:45.880 there's gonna be a lot of there's gonna be a 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.400 lot of metal detecting going off, man, because we're coming. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.960 Just bring your baby wipes, yeah, whatever you gotta bring, 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.960 bring your hard hat, whatever you gotta do. It's gonna 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.960 be a regardless. If he said that it was gonna 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.640 be a battle regardless, it was gonna be that regardless. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.599 And I mean, I'm apologize I missed a what a 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.839 River saying response. I got it right here. It is 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.520 from Clarence Hill on Twitter responding yesterday. I think it 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.120 was an in house media interview. He said, quote, he's 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.720 trying to get in our head. He's trying to convince 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.000 his team. He's now made it about him and that 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.520 and what he said. It's not about his players anymore. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.440 I think it's a big mistake. We will show up 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:27.440 on Sunday and see what happens from about it. And 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.120 Mike was asked about Ron's comments this morning on the Fan, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.560 and I'm paraphrasing, but he said, basically, what kind of 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.360 what Ron said, Like it's irrelevant what's being said about 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.839 our team, Like he didn't seem to care. So this 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:48.360 is why I like pro wrestling gas Right, It's more 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.960 fun when there's a little bit of an edge, just 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.640 sucking boxing or whatever. That just added an edge to this. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.080 If you if you need, if you needed anything extra 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.439 for me, I just think it's it's all about having 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.920 games in December with implications on things on the line. Yeah, 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.800 and it's not like you're you're not playing for nothing, 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.360 and so both teams know where they are. You have 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.560 a team that's fighting tooth and nail to get back 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.960 in this thing, and you have a team that has 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.920 been dominating from the first part of the season that's 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.319 trying to get back to the dominating way. So I 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.200 really believe if you look at this rivalry, if you 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.240 want to call it that, over the years, it's been 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.240 contentious the whole way through. It wouldn't it matter what 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.200 he said? Yeah, I mean even going back to last 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.280 year and the dominant dominance that Washington had. I think 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.480 there's a little bit of discontent from the Cowboys side there. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.480 Who has the confidence advantage coming into this game? That's 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.040 a great question. One team's won four straight, like Hackma said, 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.680 and the other team has been winning it. We got 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.240 the confidence in what you talk. We got the confidence 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.960 advantage is zail. It's us. I got Dax quote what 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.200 Dax say? What Dack said? You got a bleep ready 0:13:51.200 --> 0:14:03.079 for it? Go for it? Prison? That was it? Oh belief? Yeah, yes, yeah, yes, yeah? 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.839 Oh man. So but that I mean, that's a that's 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.880 A valid question is what's this needed from Mike McCarthy. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.480 Was this sentence, I mean, words have powerful, They're very powerful. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.920 Wasn't needed to light that fire? For him to say 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.560 that in front of the media is saying, hey, we 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.960 do need an edge going into this matchup because of 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.040 the edge that Washington already has. I like, I like 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.160 to cook on a grill. Even though I'm vegetarian now, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.240 I still like to get on the grill, and it's 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.080 a lot easier to start cooking when you got a firestarter. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.000 You know, it's a lot easier when instead of just 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.680 putting some paper in there on all that jazz, when 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.560 you got a firestarter that gets things going relatively quickly. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.600 I think that's exactly what he was trying to be 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.240 for this team right now. I think he was trying 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.920 to be the firestarter to get the Dallas Cowboys repped 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.480 repped up for this NFC East run because he understands 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.640 how important these next games are. We've been talking a 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.440 week about matching intensity, knowing that Washington is going to 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.680 come after us like they did last year. It was 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.200 what we could not do last year. A twenty twenty 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.600 could not match their intensity and this is the time, obviously, 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.360 if we want to take that next step and we'll 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.320 talk about games with implications and looking into the playoffs. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.640 You got a match intensity this, you gotta ramp it 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.160 up and it's time for that. Mike said something yesterday 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.840 to the fact also of like we know what everybody 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.720 thinks of us. It's kind of it was in us 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.600 against the world type of message he was he was saying, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.000 and he said on the radio that it wasn't like 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.760 a planned thing that for him to say that. Yesterday 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.600 he said, there were a lot of big picture questions 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.080 being asked and I wasn't. I wasn't in the room, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:30.800 but the vibe I got when I watched it back 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.840 was there's a lot of questions, specifically about the offense 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.480 not being able to run effectively enough wide receivers not 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.360 getting separation. And I'm not saying he got defensive necessarily, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.080 but it was almost like, yeah, like hey, hang on 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.480 a sec, like we are that team still. He felt 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.720 like it was necessary to put that message through the media. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.320 It's very interesting. I mean, Jason Garrett would have never know. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.720 That's why I think it really kind of surprised people 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.280 a little bit and I don't think he was being 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.960 disrespect back, but he was sure as hell. I can't 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.600 think of confidence coaching. What coach right now would have 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.160 said something like that. I would say some of these 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.600 younger head coaches out there, McVeigh wouldn't have said it. McVey, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.600 I bet you McVeigh would say, that's known the lights 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.400 and fires every now and she says it, Who would 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.080 you say? I can't think of anything. I can't either. No, 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.360 That's why that's for me as i'm as I'm digested. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.320 He's the one guy that if he if he said 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.640 that you, oh, no, he would never. He would never. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.200 I mean he Mike Tomlin's I see him saying it either, 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.760 say Chris, I was gonna say he was asked after 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.840 that question about guaranteeing and win. McCarthy was and he 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.400 basically said, he goes. You guys, you realize I go 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.760 into every game thinking we're gonna win the game. So 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.080 that's just my mente. And that's a good point, Chris, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.560 because some of it's semantics. He put it in. Yeah, 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.080 it wasn't. It wasn't Jimmy Johnson. Johnson and he has 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.200 said forms of that in the past, like we're going 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.920 in expecting to win this game. But that was yeah, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.480 it was say it was pretty matter of fact, it 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.439 was guarantee, it was. And I mean then their whole field, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.639 like their whole coaching foundation this year is around victory. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.840 I mean that you see that word everywhere around here. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.720 So that's why someone's the difference between having internal conversations 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.240 and external conversation just two separate things. See. But that's 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.399 why I'm saying, I think this is this was on purpose. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.280 Even though he said it wasn't planned, I still think 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.000 it was on perfect so too, because you don't you 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.520 don't the coaches as we as I asked that question, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.000 what other coaches would come out and say that, you wouldn't, right, 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.119 not most coaches wouldn't. It's very I think it was intentional. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.960 I think it was intentional. I don't know, I don't 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.920 know if I think. I mean, I feel like it's intentional, 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:40.640 but I feel like I feel like it was a response, 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.879 like a reaction. Yeah, I feel I feel like, you know, 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.440 somebody's pressure question. He didn't go into a saying I'm 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:46.920 gonna say this, but he was just like, hey man, 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:54.120 you're too close. Fine, you know you know, just think 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.000 I think that was his response, like, bro, enough is enough, 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.960 like get up off me? And by the way, though, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.679 I think those are fair questions, like asking about the offense, 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.320 asking about why they haven't gotten things rolling a little bit. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.760 It's a it's a it's a weird kind of vibe 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.199 around this team, not internally, but just the fact that 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.480 they're eight and four, but they haven't played well to 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.000 their standard the last six weeks since the buy basically 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.320 not especially offensively, not to what they think they can be. 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.840 They're the most under They're the most underestimated eight and 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.120 four team in the league right now. There are a 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:26.920 ton of teams out there that are eight and four 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.160 that everybody is like, oh my god, you know they're 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.359 gonna make a run there. I mean, we're not. The 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.040 only way is that though. I mean it's just the haters. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.240 I mean, we got plenty of people that's gonna hate 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.600 on the Cowboys no matter what they do. Tampa's lost 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.399 to the football team. Nobody's saying, oh that that's a 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.879 tail tail sign that Tom Brady's not ready. You know, 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.800 nobody jumped out of the cake with that win. So 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.679 but I think it inconsistencies. I really do think it 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.240 goes back to the inconsistencies. And when when Tampa loses 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:52.880 like that and Tom Brady has a has a three 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.880 interception game, it's like, no, well he doesn't do that. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:57.600 But you know what I'm saying, like that TV twelve 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.480 doesn't do that, so that you can gotta right benefit 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.399 of the doubt. Benefit of the doubt absolutely because of 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.720 his history. But right when doesn't get that? This team 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.159 does not get that. But why when you why I 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.880 haven't shown that consistently? When why when you go through 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.360 a six game winning street and you and you wait 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.240 a minute, and you beat and you beat New England? 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.960 Who is the toast of the town right now? When 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.200 you have players right when you have everything statistically as 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:24.200 far as your offense is top ten and still all 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.840 Dax out of rhythm, tacks hurt. This is that the 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.520 number one, number two and scoring in yards, How the 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.639 hell can you be conflicted about that? The proof is 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:34.800 in the place. So that's when you start to have 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.600 to ask the question, are you are you comparing ia 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.399 say comparing, are you holding your your standards to the 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.119 rest of the league, or you're holding your standards to 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.200 what you have going on within your organization. That's why 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:45.639 I'm not a big stat guy, because I don't give 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.280 a dog on what everybody else is doing. I don't 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:48.679 I don't care what everybody else to do. I care 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.879 about what I know my team is capable of executing. 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.000 And if they're not executing to that standard, then they're 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.520 not meeting my standards for my team, regardless of what 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.240 everybody else is doing. That's like, that's see, that's a 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.119 sports psycho ologies that you know. It's blinders all and 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.480 I get that, right, But you are judged by who 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.200 everybody that's around you, and no matter what these guys say, 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.240 they're looking around at the rest of the league. You 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.520 can control what you can control, right, That's what most 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.800 coaches talk about, But you're only judge based off of 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:16.680 the teams that are around you know, and I'm saying 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.200 the Cowboys are in that tier. You can't just say, oh, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.240 they're eighting for but then here's here's December like they 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:27.080 used to December stretches coming. The Cowboys will implode. Nobody's 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.920 saying that they're not even coaching are are speaking about 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.080 that around here in the community. I feel like their 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.080
