Let me start that again, ring Dakota. Yes, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:04.960 It's got me a few times. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:05.800 I had to go through it. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:06.000 Man. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.600 So when you were really good, and you don't you 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.080 don't know, you don't know who he is very Church. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:11.840 But when you were a. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.880 Child, there was a great broadcaster named Howard Kosell. Heckman 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.760 I remember because watched Monday. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.520 Night Football and when he when you were good, he 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:22.880 called you by your full. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:27.920 Name, like you made it play like that's Church. He 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.160 threw it in there like like you return to touchdown 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.759 and Barry Michael Church. That's right. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:39.679 Reggie government, the whole, the whole government, you know, Reggie 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.440 Jackson in his third home run, he just said, Reginald 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.640 my team as Jackson. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.080 It was that kind of. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.480 We're gonna give you your You deserve full credit, the 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:50.040 whole thing. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.720 That's how good you were. But let me ask you 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:52.080 a question. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.720 Y'all have been in the game for a while, you know, 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.120 want me to get too far off track, Who was 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.280 the best what you call it play by play whatever? 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.320 Like John Madden coach said, like who was that guy 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.640 even to this day, who has been like the best, top, top, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:07.240 top notch. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:09.920 Who's the top guy in your opinion? 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.119 I mean, Howard Cosell obviously set the stage for all 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.400 of these guys because of the way that he called game. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.720 He was so descriptive when you sat down and watch, 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.440 he has such a distinct voice, and I think that's 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.560 the thing that for play by play guys. If if 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.560 I don't see him, But I hear their voice. I 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.600 know who that's That's Summer Off, that's you know that. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.000 Those are the guys that I think that resonate with me. 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:34.720 Uh. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.280 The newer guys like the Bucks and all that that 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.280 can have worked their way into being like your favorite 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.800 like but no, Like when I'm watching a college game, 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.160 I really want my guy. Uh, I can't even think 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:52.480 of Guss. I'm talking about Gus brings the excitement. Gus 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.600 is not one of those guys to me. And it's 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.119 just my style. I don't like that all button up, 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.600 you know, corporate style of announcing games. I like for 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.880 you to oh your personality gives guys uh nicknames like Maserati, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.320 Marv and all that stuff. It makes the game so 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.240 much more fun. But when it goes back to like 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.720 those old school guys, nothing tops Howard Cosell to me, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:13.519 nothing at all. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.920 So Howard was an analyst. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.200 And when you talk about those play by play guys, 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.240 when you talk football, you know, Pat Somemmerole comes to mind. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.080 Vince Scully did did football, Jack Buck did football? 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:26.320 Played by play guys. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.080 Keith Jackson had did a little bit of it on 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.240 Monday Night footbactually started there, then he moved over to 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.120 college football. Frank Gifford came in there and did some 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.840 of that. Gus Johnson today is what Heckwer talks about 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.880 to me. He is the guy that brings it to you, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.400 but also brings that fan that's like, yeah, yeah, come on, 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.560 come with me, Come with me. And I remember when C. D. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:53.720 Lamb quarter time said, Darius, you know, you know, you know, 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.040 Gus will go you know, he'll take He'll take you there, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.840 He'll bring you there. But Pat summer All didn't do it, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.360 but Pat Somerraw would lead John Madden into do it. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.560 And so I think there's different types of play by 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.560 plays and the way they do it Al Michaels is 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:11.040 very good, and I think it's that great balance. So 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.520 if I were a play by a play guy and 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.800 I was doing it with heck Ma, I would lean 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.640 back because I know where his enthusiasm is going to go. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.640 Take us over here. So what I don't want to 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.400 do is have two dudes at a high pitch. I 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.880 want to let him take me there, So I'm gonna 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.960 lead him into that, and I think that becomes a 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.120 part of his chemistry and what makes it good because 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.480 you don't want two dudes right here, you want one 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.320 guy to go there. So this is Emmitt Smith making 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.560 a play and then John mad done. Patoo, look at 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.080 him it right there. He hits him with the shoulder 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.000 and he cuts something. So you let John get on 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.919 a telestrader and do his thing. And Pat was so 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.000 good at it that he just let and it was 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.440 just watch. To me, it was like, well, I don't 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:47.760 know about you. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:48.880 Heck. To me, it was like family. 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.520 But the thing I loved about Pat somemraw because back 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.320 in the day, man, my mom and dad would take 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.200 us a church and we had the Late Black Church. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.400 That's the first quarter here from Irvy the Eagles ten 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:01.880 and the Cowboys seven. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.359 It's the whole first joint, the whole first quarter. Bro 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.640 rag Rag was always missing the first quarter. 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.400 But that's how I look at the play by play 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.480 guys today and just where I can't do it. I 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.240 can't do any of it. I've tried it. I'm not 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.080 good at it. I don't know how you're gonna be 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.680 ready today. Hack me to go through play a suppos. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.560 You you know, when you're doing those high school games, man, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.920 you're depending on other people. I mean, it's it's it's 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.960 a skill and a talent. I just don't have to. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.160 I don't know how you do it. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.840 Look took, one of the best up and coming play 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:41.279 by play guys is in this buildings. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.239 Ain't nobody better? Man? When he filled in for a Brads, 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.560 all of a sudden, ain't nobody, Ain't nobody better? 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.000 There's a skill and just North Texas, the University of 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.640 North Texas produces some outstanding people. Mark Follower, great Mark Follow, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.800 who's play by play for The Mavericks on TV and 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.360 one multiple Emmy Awards, and Kyle now is multiple award 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.680 win So it's a great play. He went over there 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.520 North Texta. I mean, this is what they do. It's 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.040 one of the cradles right now. If you are thinking 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.760 about going in the broadcast industry here, you can go 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.000 there and go there at a good price. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:15.880 That's part of it. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.719 Let me tell you something, Hey, when you're paying twoitiones, 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.840 you know what every college costs, right, That's what. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:31.320 He said so quick after the on that way mean. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:36.960 Boy, yes, yes, but I have people. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.960 I had to call me yesterday. I have people all 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.480 the time and will ask me. You know, where should 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.440 I go? And they think about Syracuse. You know, through 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.160 the year, Syracuse is producing Marv Albert by cost, It's 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.600 Mike Cherico. Been a lot of great broadcasters that come 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.320 out of Syracuse. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.240 But have you seen the price? That's ridiculous. 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.240 And so man, when I got to school, my first job, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.160 I mean three hundred dollars a week, man, that was it, Dude, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.560 I learned how to live on eighty dollars cash. I 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.680 used to go beat the weekend anchor to the TV 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.920 station so I could steal the coupons, so I could 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.840 click them coupons because I knew Thursday was was triple 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:08.520 coupon day. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.760 So I had my stuff ready to go. Man, had 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.920 it lined up on them. Brother. I showed up for 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.560 press conferences to eat UNCHI let me get some of 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.160 that brood. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.800 If it was a NASCAR event, I was there because 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.640 NASCAR fed you, and they fed you good. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.840 But I learned a lot of NASCAR because I wanted 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.000 to eat the leftover. I love it. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.640 When my man Derreck Cope signed that sign that contract 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.520 with Boat Jangles, Oh we knew both. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.280 Jags getting served by I love it. I love it. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.720 Bro I stayed till the end because I was shouldn't 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.240 have taken something home with me and some of that. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.280 I believe it was something. I believe it was something 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.120 for Dad. I love it, man, I love it. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.360 So these jobs and tell people when you want to 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:52.880 go to school, you want to get in this business. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.720 These jobs don't pay a lot of money. They don't 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.880 pay It is a lot of grit and grind. Man, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.600 it is a lot of grit and grind. So I 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:00.880 respect for the people to do it. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.920 But yeah, man, you go to place at North Texas 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.800 and it's it's an in state tuition and you can 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.400 and you got proof of people who are successful. Man, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.600 I'd say, man, go look over there. I know we 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.120 wiped the look at the bright lights and where the 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.000 people at. Man, But at the end of the day, 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.240 you start looking and Syracuse is really good. But you 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.080 look it's a private school. You look at the amount 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.120 of money you're gonna spend and where you're gonna start earning. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.000 True, ROI is it there? 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:24.280 Yea? 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.200 Is it there? So yeah, man, you gotta think about it. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.600 So it's something, it's something to get into, something to 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:30.040 get into. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:35.520 But Dak Prescott, Mike McCarthy spoke today. He's still seeking 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.000 more opinions, still trying to have an understanding what's going on. Look, 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.640 the hamstring injury, he ripped from the bone. What we 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.720 saw with our guy Tyron Smith exactly. That was what 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.679 training camp a couple of years ago, this two three 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.520 years ago, at what that event where they brought out 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.199 the fans, the fan jam thing, you know on a 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.000 regular play. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.120 You didn't really understand just happened. Just kind of like that. 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.520 You're like, hey, looks like a regular play, but bam, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.640 all right, hamstring off the bone And it took him 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.920 basically three quarters of a year to come down. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.640 Yeah, oh yeah, I don't be a laugh. I just 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:15.800 I just think of Daddy but Gray every time. Oh man. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.760 But yeah, anyway, yeah, now it took. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:18.199 Him a minute. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.880 It took him a minute to get back out there 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.760 and perform at the way he is. So do you 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.640 see Prescott returning at any point? 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.720 And is it just and ye, is it just? It's 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.200 a done dollar least? 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.760 I think one. You have to evaluate right away how 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.960 Cooper Rush looks. And Cooper Rush has shown you that 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.000 he can rattle off five six victories of five victories 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.280 for sure in this in this offense, and obviously you 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.960 wanted to conjure up that same magic against Philly and 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.440 against these next five opponents. If he can do that, 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.520 I think it gives you the confidence to say, Dak, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.040 you know, sit back. You can sit back and chill 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.839 for a couple of weeks. Let's make sure. Let's make 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.080 sure that that heals up. But that's only if if 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.600 you're in playoff contention at all, If there's no doubt 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.600 that you're not going to be there period, like you're 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.400 elimined mathematically, it's not going to happen. It's not even 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.320 worth talking about it because you don't want one. You 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.920 don't want them to re injure it. If you've ever 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.680 injured your hamstring, if you tweaked it, whatever it is, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.880 it's there. It's there, and it's always one of those 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.360 things in the back of your mind that you are 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.400 not going to take off and accelerate knowing that you're 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.679 coming off of something like that, because now you could 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.079 really you could tear it completely, you know. So Like 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.600 for me, like I said, for I'm thinking about and 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.760 I know the question was is that going to come back? 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.000 I just think right now, for Mike McCarthy his whole 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.760 playbook and everything has to be refined to be under 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.360 Cooper Russia's strengths. You have to put a game plan 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.679 together for him. And to me, that game plan is 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:50.360 a quick game. 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.559 Yeah, you gaget it out of his hands. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.120 It's a quick game, especially with how this offensive line 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.559 has looked the past couple of weeks. I mean, you 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.320 got to get the ball out of Cooper Russi's hands quick. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.920 And that's what they were able to do when he 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.000 took over for Dak Prescott and that stretch I believe 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.160 it was two years ago when he injured him twenty 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:07.840 two when he had was out for five games, and 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.199 Cooper Rush went on that four and one streak and 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.800 kept this team afloat. You know, while Dak Prescott was out, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.400 they were able to get the ball out of his 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.280 hands fast. But the one thing that gives me pause, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.280 just a little bit of pause, is just you know, 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.600 in that run that Cooper Rush had those you know 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.680 two years ago, man, the defense. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.400 Was playing outstanding. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.920 I mean they were one of the top teams and 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.080 getting after the quarterback. I mean it was just you know, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.920 sacks on top of sacks Parsons, Lawrence. Those guys were 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.600 getting after the quarterback and oh, by that way, they 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.880 had some type of run game. I believe that's when 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.679 it was. Zeke and Pollard were both in the backfield, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.400 I believe. So at that time you had a good balance. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.720 You had Pollard being that explosive guy. You had Zeke 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.120 still being able to, you know, get you three yards 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.840 and a cloud of dust five yards here and there 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.200 and wearing down the defense, and polar was taking off. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.120 We really start to see part of the merge in 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.880 that season. So that's the only thing that gives me 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.920 a little bit of pauses. That team is not the 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.640 same as this team right now. You know, they're struggling offensively, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.600 especially on the offensive line, ride receivers getting not getting separation, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.600 and then in the defense, it's just you know, they're 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.160 one of the worst in the National Football League right 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.000 now as far as points per game, So you won't 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.959 be playing with that lead like you had before. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.840 But we all understand Cooper Rushie. He's a ultimate pro. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:15.760 He's an ultimate bro. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.680 When his name is called, he steps up to the 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.320 plate and he gets the job done. You saw that 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.240 in that Atlanta game. He was able to get them 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.439 yards rolling and get them in the end zone at least, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:24.679 even though it was a little bit too late, he 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.520 was able to get this team into the end zone. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.960 So to me, he has the respect of his teammates 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.480 out there. They're gonna battle for him. It's not like 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.319 they're just saying, let's give up on the tape, to 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.079 give up on the season, it's over with, you know. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.840 They They got respect from my man, so they're gonna 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.440 play hard for him. So we'll see what they got 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:38.280 against the Eagles. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.800 It's always dangerous to go to social media, always dangerous. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.440 But I have looked at a. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:52.600 Few doctors they say they're doctors on social media. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.280 Saying just saying tough. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:13:00.640 But from what I have gathered, they're talking six week's 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.520 if surgery and up to ten weeks without surgery in 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:04.559 terms of recovery time. 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.839 So you just start doing the math and looking at that. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.760 You're going to kind of go what you just said, Barry, 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:18.480 If you're in playoff contention. If yes, and we've talked 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.960 about many times here on the Players Lounge, there's coming 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.080 back and then it's coming back and being able to 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.800 be effective. That's the challenge for Dak Prescott and depending 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.840 on where they're at the season, becomes the old Ricky. 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.959 Waters line for who for what? Yeah? Absolutely, so I. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.040 Think you've got to be smart what you're going to 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.920 start to get into a point in time where you've 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.559 got to start looking at twenty twenty five. Oh yeah, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.320 and if you're if you're out of this thing, there's 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.640 no sense of bringing back your quarterback that you've invested 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.920 a lot of money for. You need him ready to 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:56.960 go for off season workouts, especially if Jerry decides he 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.560 wants to have a different coaching staff these It's it's 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.280 a it's a lot of context into this thing. Man, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.120 It's a lot of stuff that guy has to go 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.319 into it. And we'll see, we'll see where the Cowboys 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.839 are right now. I think that Dak is doing what 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.840 any player should do. Go go get all the opinions 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.720 you can. I mean is that when you've had injury 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.080 before and they talk about second opinion, what goes into that, Well, 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:22.400 you got to make sure you. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.320 Get you you do your due diligence and make sure 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.800 you go out there and seek a second opinion because 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.640 it might be different from what the you know, trading 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.480 staff here I remember when I hurt my shoulder, well, 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.280 you know, I did my achilles. There was no second, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.560 it was what it was. But when I hurt my 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.480 shoulder and had to get my laboring surgery, you know, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.280 I postponed it a little bit. I wore the brace 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:40.680 and I just went out there and tried to muster 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.200 through it because I was in a different situation, undrafted guy, 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.440 still trying to prove myself on the team. So I 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.840 tried to muster through it, and I tried to go 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.960 out there and get it my all. But you play 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.480 with a torn laborler, Yeah, it was. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:51.000 It was. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.120 It was all jack pop out of the socket each 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:54.400 and every time I hit somebody. 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:55.480 But I kept trying to muster. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.680 Through it because I was like, man, who knows if 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.280 I'm even gonna be here next year, you know what 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.120 I'm saying. So I'm on special teams and it it 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.200 took me finally that last it was one of the 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.480 last games of the season, going against the Giants. I'm 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.200 in personal protection, you know, for a punt team. I'm 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.040 dropping back getting my block in. As soon as I 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.080 put my arm up, dude just hit my man. The 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.200 whole shoulder just popped out, and it was just at 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.880 that time the training stat just looked and was like that, 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.840 I mean, we know you you fighting, you know you 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.640 one of the dolls are trying to get trying to 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.040 get fed, Bud. I mean, you get you gotta you 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.520 gotta chill on this one. You gotta go ahead and 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.040 get the surgery and call it a rap and that. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:25.120 And that's tough. Man. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.160 That was a much different situation than what that is 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.480 in right now, because I was still like, man, if 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:29.680 I go. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.640 Be here, you know what. Mentally, Yeah, it was tough. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:33.280 It was tough. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.600 But yeah, get as many opinions as you can, you know, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.200 because it may different and you might help you to 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:37.880 your advantage. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.200 If I tear my lave room in twenty twenty floor, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.080 I am on the floor crying, calling nine one one 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:50.200 with Siri. Y you know, I might be laying my shorts, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.120 might be wet. Okay, it seems like that. And I think, 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.000 you know, just for all this talk about the game 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.840 of football that people, you know, quit all this anyway, 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.040 I'm just tripping that you would play with the Toren labram. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:03.840 And that's the kind of pain threshold that a lot 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.320 of these guys play with You were talking about something 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.280 a minute ago, man, and I was just thinking, boy, 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.720 that's a lot of huge butt maybes and ifs with 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.760 the defense and what they had and what they did. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.120 And that's why I think with Cooper Rush, he comes 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:23.400 into a situation with a completely dysfunctional offense and defense 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.240 and what I'm saying in the sense of being able 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.720 to get stops, being able to get runs. The last 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.320 time that we played Philadelphia, Ezekiel Elliott ran for eighty 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.800 one yards. Tony Potter ran for forty four. So you 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.400 did have that semblance of a running game to support you, 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.480 and it made it where you know, play action was 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.080 also accounted for. Vic Vangio is not gonna respect none 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.280 of that. Respect none of that. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.520 Let us the return of mister blueprint. Vic Fangio. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:17:00.680 Yes, the Eagles defensive coordinator.
