Speaker 2: your career path, we know you ended up at the

Speaker 2: then would you like to explain yourself for what happened

29
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: against Vanderbilt last weekend.

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: I feel like you wanted to go straight to the

31
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: Vandy but I feel like you should start off with

32
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: that and end with that.

33
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna go ahead and start with this Georgia thing.

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, nothing more exciting than that, you know, just

35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 6: to be able to truly play on that kind of

36
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 6: stage and see the session to have It was a

37
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 6: great football game. I was at the game and I

38
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 6: really thought we were gonna lose.

39
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 5: I had too many emotions at that game.

40
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 6: But then you get into the Vandy game, bro, I'm

41
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 6: still shook by. I made a mistake and watched the

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 6: film again today and that's it.

43
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 5: I didn't let go. I made a mistake of going

44
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 5: past twenty four hours with that man.

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Does it make you feel any better or is there

46
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: any comfort in the fact that now it's that twelve

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: team playoff and you feel like, hey, you know what

48
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: one loss isn't what one loss used to be? Or

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: does it still.

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 6: Know because this is a bad loss, a loss to

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 6: a Vanderbilt we shouldn't have lost to. So twelve teams

52
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 6: eighteen teams you don't want. I'm looking at this that

53
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 6: hat he got on. I know it's a cowboys hat,

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 6: but it just seems like a little a little.

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 7: Bit or may not have been if Bobby knows, my

56
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 7: level of.

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: Pity got a little.

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: It's not so bad. But we, like we mentioned, you

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: did end up at the University of Alabama, had a

60
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: great career there where, you know, a very decorated career.

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: I want to start off first, just talk to us

62
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: about your your kind of career path up through high

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: school and what led you to ending up at the

64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: University of Alabama.

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 6: Well, most people think that I actually grew up in

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 6: Alabama all my life, and that's not what happened.

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 5: My dad was in the military.

69
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: We just ended up moving to Alabama when I was

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: in ninth grade, So my love for Alabama or any

71
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: school in that area kind of started happening.

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: Then they recruited me the best.

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 6: I really thought I was gonna go to Auburn, Georgia

74
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 6: Tech something of that nature. Took the trip to Auburn.

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely hated it when I took the trip.

76
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: What is it that you didn't like about all? Because

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: it's Auburn? Thank you?

78
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 7: Wow.

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: No, they asked me, what do you want to do.

80
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: You've been on a recruiting.

81
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: Trip, I'm young or whatever. They say, well, here's the

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: things we can do.

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 6: We can go to Tuskegee to go party, or we

84
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: can go out here and do a little bit of

85
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 6: cal tipping. I said, you know what, I'm out on

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 6: this deal. I'm not from the South. I don't even

87
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 6: know what cal tipping is.

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 7: Wow.

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: War War Eagle just didn't roll off the tongue quite

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: like roll.

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 7: Did you see that?

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 6: You know when you said war Eagle and that I

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 6: just sent shock waves to I don't like that. But

94
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 6: that ended up.

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 4: Bill Curry was there as a head coach, and he

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 4: did a tremendous job of recruiting my whole family to

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: go there.

98
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 5: So after I took my trip to Alabama.

99
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: I committed to you know, I think that you have

100
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: the distinction of quite possibly in college or professional sports.

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think

102
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: you have the distinction of having the most important, consequential

103
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: play that didn't count in the history of football. When

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: you were at Alabama with the strip when Miami Lamar

105
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: Thomas is streaking down the sideline. Yes, you guys had

106
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: jumped off sides, so if Lamar Thomas scores, then they

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: just declined the penalty, it's whatever. But you ended up

108
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: racing him down. It's one of the most famous, high motor,

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: high effort plays we've ever seen. You chase him down,

110
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: get the strip, and like I said, it ends up

111
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: not even counting, but it wipes what would have been

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: a touchdown off the board a Sugar Bowl game that

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: you guys ended up winning. Talk about just that play,

114
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: what you were seeing as it was developing, and that

115
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: motor right there that everybody nationally became familiar within that moment,

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: that became kind of your calling card throughout your career.

117
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 6: Okay, and I will do that, but I want to

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 6: I need to make sure that you guys talk about

119
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 6: this on one of your shows at did the play

120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 6: really not count?

121
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: You know?

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 4: I always not on the book, but did it really

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: not count?

124
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 5: Did not count? Everybody saying, oh, you made the greatest

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: play that didn't count? What does that mean?

126
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't it doesna log, But it absolutely counted.

127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 7: Yes it did.

128
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 6: Okay, But thinking of it when you get into the plague,

129
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 6: man Nate, I don't know if you would ever tell

130
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 6: the truth and say that you were loafing on the play.

131
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 6: But I was actually loafing on it, and that caused problems.

132
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 6: I just ran touchdown back a little while earlier, got

133
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 6: beat up by all the fans or all of my teammates,

134
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 6: so I was gassed. Next series we go back out.

135
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 6: I'm tired, right, So we're playing too. Man corner has some.

136
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: Man the man. I'm thinking, we got some pretty good corners.

137
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 6: He's gonna make the play until Gina Toretta threw a

138
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 6: dime to this guy and I looked and I was

139
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 6: not deep enough for my half coverage because I was

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 6: of safety and so I had backs or thoughts of

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 6: at that time, they could rip your face mask off

142
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 6: your helmet, you know, the coach could when you get

143
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 6: it was a little bit different back then, and worried

144
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: about what my teammates would think. I think this guy

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 6: goes for a long touchdown, so instinctively I went to

146
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 6: track for him. I put the hands right, I going changed.

147
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: I'm I was doing all this. I got my nice

148
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: socle with the legs.

149
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 6: And uh so that was all out of fear, honestly,

150
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 6: and once it once it got there, then it was

151
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 6: back to take me. Stripped the ball, knock it out,

152
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 6: something that just had a little bit of luck and

153
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 6: came back up my face and went the other way.

154
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: We are talking with George Tige here on Cowboys Crosstock

155
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,440

Speaker 2: you see a play like that, a big effort playoffs,

162
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: and when you see that happen on your side of

163
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: the field, and then it's one of your teammates pulling

164
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: off a place like that, how much does that bring

165
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: juice to the entire rest of the roster and carry

166
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: over into the following plays after that, and what you

167
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: guys are trying to do?

168
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 5: It?

169
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 7: Man, you can't explain it.

170
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: You just it's a thrill and excitement, especially from a

171
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: guy you know.

172
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 7: Had that much speed. You know, it ain't like he

173
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 7: had track speed.

174
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: But all of a sudden, you know, he remember all,

175
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: let me be perfect, kicked off, kicked off?

176
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 7: But hey, that was that bigger than the till defending

177
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 7: the Star?

178
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: Like I mean that that that was pretty big, And

179
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: I mean that that was I guess I just thought

180
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: that wasn't technically a play, but.

181
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 5: But it was.

182
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 7: I mean, it was a talking about no.

183
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: Got two incidents that happened, I mean to two massive,

184
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: big time contributions that are are absolute critical in both respects.

185
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: And we'll definitely circle back to the too thing. Let's

186
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: talk about getting out of Auburn. You had mentioned you

187
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: were just talking about their playing safety and that's what

188
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 2: people became familiar with at the NFL level. You actually

189
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: got to Alabama as a corner, initially ended up switching positions.

190
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: Talk about how that transition went for you, The conversations

191
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: that said, hey, let's try you out at safety and

192
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: how you felt in terms of your comfort level.

193
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I went in as a corner, got drafted,

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 6: got recruited as a corner, Absolutely loved it.

195
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 5: Thought that's what I was going to be the whole time.

196
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 5: And it wasn't really a talk about it.

197
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 6: It was kind of I think they're humbly saying, you

198
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 6: know that I had some range, and so they started

199
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 6: sticking me back in the nickel packages as a safety

200
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 6: to try to cover more ground. That happened my junior year,

201
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 6: so I actually played both my junior year corner and safety,

202
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 6: depending on the package.

203
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 4: Actually then I still played more corner even my senior

204
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 4: year a little bit. What was your forty time? Like,

205
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: what was your forty time?

206
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 7: For them?

207
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 6: So all my pro day, because I didn't run the combine,

208
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 6: I ran a four four one. Wow, Yes, someone still fast,

209
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 6: So I would say four to three and some change.

210
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 6: But the one that officially went down on the book

211
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 6: was a four speed. So I think that's where I

212
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 6: kind of had to both while was fast enough to

213
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 6: play corner. So then I got drafted as a corner too.

214
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 6: To Green Bay. I still got drafted as a cornerback,

215
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 6: and that's why I started until about four games into it,

216
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 6: the safety just wasn't covering ground at George T. So

217
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 6: they just said hey, and literally I'll never forget this.

218
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 6: Really just threw me in the game the safety and

219
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 6: said you got it go. In the middle of the

220
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: game against the Minnesota Vikings. Oh my gosh, I was terrified, man,

221
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 6: you talking about making calls. The teammates was like, calm down.

222
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 5: Man, what are you doing. It was like, boy, I

223
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 5: don't know what I'm doing.

224
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: Wow, let's uh, let's talk a little bit more about

225
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: that career trajectory. You're your time in Green Bay, that traditional,

226
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: but then specifically getting here to the to the Dallas

248
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: George Tig, who had two of the most important plays

249
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: that counted in the history of both Alabama and the

250
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. Georgie, you're talking about how you started out

251
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: in Green Bay and you were playing corner, made the

252
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: shift over to safety mid game against the Vikings. You

253
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: get to Dallas in nineteen ninety six and one of

254
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: your big like coming out just hey, George Tig is

255
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: here and making a name for himself, was a game

256
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: against the Minnesota Vikings. It was the Wildcard round where

257
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: I don't know that we've ever seen since somebody forced

258
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: a turnover on three straight possessions the way George Teague

259
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: did in this one, punching the ball away from Amplee.

260
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: I think you stripped Leroy Horde on the next and

261
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: then you had a pick six on the very next,

262
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: driving a big wild card win for the Cowboys. How

263
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: gratifying was it in that game to just, you know,

264
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: did you feel especially locked in and when you ended

265
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: up having the game that you did, did you kind

266
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: of feel like, Hey, this is the culmination of a

267
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: lot of what I've been aiming for in my career.

268
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 5: Those are those moments where you, uh, what do you

269
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 5: call it? When you're in the zone.

270
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 6: You know, you're just getting that thing, and it's something

271
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 6: that you always seek as an athlete to try to

272
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 6: get in that zone where everything just happens right. But

273
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 6: it also helps when you're kind of playing for a

274
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 6: contract and you kind of you've been traded and cut

275
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 6: and you're trying to prove something to everybody too, so

276
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 6: you know, it all just kind of worked out that,

277
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 6: you know, when you score a touchdown, good lord on

278
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: defense and the secondary.

279
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 5: It just takes you to the whole other level.

280
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 6: So that was definitely one of my favorite moments or

281
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 6: favorite game in the pros. A lot of people think

282
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 6: about Terrell Owens or something else, maybe when I had

283
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 6: an incept to return in Green Bay for the record

284
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 6: for one hundred and one yards.

285
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: But that game, what did you have to you know,

286
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 4: emphasize for the record? I mean, because it still stands,

287
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: still stands. I always know you to be a humble guy. Man,

288
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: Oh I am, but you know, but that counted.

289
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: That counted everything else, nothing else happened. You know, this

290
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 5: is the one that I can actually say.

291
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 6: But anyway, you know, it's just uh, when you come

292
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 6: to the and I got to give a shout out

293
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 6: to a lot of the Cowboy players Nate Newton write

294
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 6: in particular Dan Woodson, Kevin Smith, because once I got

295
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 6: to Dallas, as good as I thought I was, I

296
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 6: knew I wasn't there, but I had teammates that gave

297
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 6: me little tidbits of just how to be a little

298
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 6: bit better once I got here. That's why I love

299
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 6: the Cowboys so much, not outside of the organization and

300
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 6: what Jerry done for me and all that stuff.

301
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 4: It's the players who are in the locker room that

302
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 4: welcomed me, you know, in their own type of way.

303
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: Charles Haley too, as much as.

304
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 6: He got me and talked about my clothes, my haircut

305
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 6: and everything else that he could, but it was all

306
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 6: out of love and they helped me become a better player.

307
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 5: And that's why I love playing here for the Dallas.

308
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: You know, Nate, you were there playing in that game

309
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: that day against Minnesota. Do you remember just thinking like,

310
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 2: what the what the heck is this guy doing? How

311
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: is he just coming up with play affter? Have you

312
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: ever seen anything like that football?

313
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: I've seen Dion do great things, but not with that

314
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 4: type of consistency, you know, this big playoff, the big play.

315
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 4: You've seen Charles takeover games, but not the way that

316
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: that was. That's a performance of lifetime. Have you ever

317
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: since then seen a player do what he did? Not

318
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: like that, you know, not like that on the stage

319
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 4: that I mean, I don't know if it's Obama thing.

320
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what.

321
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 7: I think.

322
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: It's right, but I'm out to ask this and it's

323
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 4: kind of out of line that I know he but

324
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: did they drug test shit?

325
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 7: The next day.

326
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, they did they would now anytime.

327
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 4: So yeah, now, all of a sudden, I gotta get

328
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 4: up early in the morning and don't speak tacling.

329
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 7: Just coming out. We need to see you.

330
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 9: You know.

331
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: You mentioned there, you know, when you got here and

332
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: all the little tips and tidbits you got. We were

333
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: talking to Rocket Ishmael a couple of weeks ago, and

334
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: Rocket had said when he first got here, He's like, oh, man,

335
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: culture difference is just insane in terms of their expectation

336
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: of winning and excellence and like guys holding each other accountable.

337
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: When you got here, did you notice that jump to

338
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: Did you feel like, oh wow, this is just a

339
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 2: different standard across the board for these guys.

340
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, instantly.

341
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 6: And I played for a good organization in the Green

342
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 6: Bay Packers, you know, and they were accustomed to certain

343
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 6: things that we were kind of on our way up,

344
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff in the community and all that, But.

345
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 5: Here it was different. And it was in a good

346
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 5: way too.

347
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 4: You still got all the community and all that, but

348
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 4: the excellence that was demanded by the team and by

349
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 4: the staff, by ownership was not like anything I had

350
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: ever experienced before.

351
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 7: I don't know what what got you here? What what

352
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 7: brought upon the trade or what move? What got you?

353
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 7: What did you want out? Did they say advantage? What

354
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 7: got you here?

355
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 4: Oh?

356
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: Man? All right, I'll wrap this up as fast.

357
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 7: As I can.

358
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 6: But Green Bay, I did not know that I was

359
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 6: on the trading block for green Bay, so apparently they

360
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 6: wanted me out of there, and they actually traded me,

361
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 6: uh to the Atlanta Falcons.

362
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: I got that call twenty four hours before my flight

363
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 4: to Atlanta from Ron Wolf.

364
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 6: He said, Hey, I just want to let you know

365
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 6: before you see it on ESPN, You've just been traded

366
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 6: to Atlanta Falcons. Clicked that basically what it was, and

367
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 6: I was kind of a little angry about that. And

368
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 6: then three weeks later I got cut by the Atlanta Falcons.

369
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 6: So I was a free agent at that point. This

370
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 6: is why I love Jerry Jones and you guys will

371
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 6: love this story.

372
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: Quickly. He actually called me with Dave Campo on the phone,

373
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 5: and Jerry asked me, Hey.

374
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: George, what the bleaberty bleak is wrong with you? And

375
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 4: why are you on the market. That was his first

376
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: question to me on the phone. That's my first deal

377
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: and I cursed back at him, and I.

378
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 5: Said, there's nothing of bleeperty bleed. And I don't know

379
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: why I'm out here on this.

380
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 6: And this is after I've already had bad attitude with

381
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 6: other teams because I really didn't know what was going on.

382
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 6: I didn't really I wasn't keen to the business aspect

383
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 6: of contracts, how much you're worth and all that kind

384
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 6: of stuff.

385
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 5: And so in the end, Jerry Jones said, well, you

386
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: know what, here's what we're gonna do.

387
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: This is on a Friday. He said, you're gonna fly

388
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 6: in here. You're gonna pass this physical. If you pass

389
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 6: the physical, you're gonna play in the last preseason game,

390
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 6: the whole game at safety, because you're the best safety

391
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 6: out there, and if you do what you need to do,

392
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 6: you'll be the fifth guy, the nickel safety to go in.

393
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 6: So I flew in past physical. I played the whole

394
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 6: dog gone game. Another story about that later. But that's

395
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 6: how up here at the Dallas Cowboys wow. And I

396
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 6: was only here for the one year if remember SO

397
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 6: only signed the one year deal. Then I went to

398
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 6: the Dolphins.

399
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: Didn't get along with Jimmy Johnson, got the callback from

400
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 4: the Cowboys and came back for another four.

401
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a it was a direct swap basically

402
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: because you you came back to Dallas. Brockwarrian went to Miami.

403
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 5: Yep.

404
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: Uh, it took over there and you come back to Dallas.

405
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: And and obviously the the thing we put out the

406
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: question a few minutes ago for anybody who had some

407
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: questions for George t uh, they could send in a

408
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: note on the fan text. And uh, the one that

409
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: we're getting consistent here is how did it feel to

410
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: smack Tara Lowans? How great was it to hit Tara Lowans?

411
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: And And obviously that was a big pivotal moment of

412
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: you not only just stepping up and defending this team

413
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: and this organization and this baby.

414
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 7: Yeah.

415
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know out there on the football field. I'm

416
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: sure you've told the story a thousand times, but just

417
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: to general talk to us about the thought process throughout

418
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 2: that game, the disrespect you guys felt on that sideline,

419
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: and and what you when you determine I'm doing this

420
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: or if it was even a determination and just a reaction.

421
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 4: Oh well, yeah, so some of us are a little

422
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: bit prideful, and I'm a little bit prideful, and I

423
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: don't like losing.

424
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 5: I don't like playing the heat losing.

425
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 6: We were on that old raggedy turf and the other stuff,

426
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 6: so nothing was right at that time, and me and

427
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 6: Terrell Owens had had some good banter.

428
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 7: You know.

429
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 6: He was telling me about my mom, I was telling

430
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 6: him about his mom, and it just led up to

431
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 6: him just being totally obnoxious.

432
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 5: Goes out to the Star, imit does this thing.

433
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 6: And so at this point now on the particular play

434
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 6: where he scores a touchdown and runs out, I knew

435
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: he's going to score the touchdown. So I was watching

436
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 6: out the corner of my eye on the other side,

437
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 6: and I'm going.

438
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: What is this idiot about to do? After he scores

439
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 5: his touchdown? So I had no idea.

440
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 6: I didn't think he was going to go back to

441
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 6: the Star, but I just figured he's going to do something.

442
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 6: So when he took off, it's like almost just kind

443
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 6: of blacked out, like, oh.

444
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 5: Come on, you know. So then I I went, and

445
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 5: this is the way it had it, that it timed

446
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 5: up that I met him right there at.

447
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 6: The right moments. And it felt good too. Man, it

448
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 6: felt better when I dodged the lineman that tried to

449
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 6: hit me. I was glad I was taking a little

450
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 6: bit of taekwondo.

451
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 5: Get duck underneath, because I probably would have died.

452
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 6: But you know, that was a moment where it was

453
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 6: just pride, Pride in your team, pride in you. Just

454
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 6: I mean, you think of all this stuff. We're talking

455
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 6: about Alabama losing the Vanderbilt, Georgia losing the Alabama whatever

456
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 6: it is, it's.

457
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 5: Just some pieces that you just have to stand up.

458
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: You don't let people put their foot up on your

459
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: coffee table because you just don't do it.

460
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 5: I was raised that way. You don't get your foot

461
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 5: off my table. You're not doing this.

462
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 7: I told you one time.

463
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 5: You want to do it again, you gotta get out.

464
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 7: You know what, You know what record You've had so

465
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 7: many big moments.

466
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 4: Yes, I've never had that type of big moment besides

467
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 4: as a team winning the Super Bowl.

468
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 7: I mean, but you've had so many great individual moments. Man.

469
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 6: I appreciate that, and you know, it's just I don't know,

470
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 6: I think you I was what I learned from several coaches,

471
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 6: including Mike Zimmer, was setting yourself up to make plays.

472
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 6: The way that you study and This started back in college,

473
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 6: you know, reading tendencies and this one. We used to

474
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 6: have books, you know, a paper in it, and you

475
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 6: had to go through it, not the little exops and

476
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 6: all these kind of tablets and all that you had

477
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 6: to look and study. So I would always try to

478
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 6: find a tendency. And I would tell my wife, she's

479
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: very much big in the football, and any fan is

480
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 6: watching you, I said, I'm going to give you the

481
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 6: signal when I know I'm gonna make the play, because

482
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 6: I would know when the formation came, what formation, whatever

483
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 6: it was, when I was gonna take a calculated risk,

484
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 6: that's my word.

485
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: That's when I was gonna gamble that I need to

486
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: be able to go at that moment because you don't

487
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 4: get those chances in games. So I would always try

488
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: to find out and Zim hated it, you gambling. George's like, no,

489
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: this is the tendencies you gave me. Ninety five percent

490
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: of the time when they line up like this, they

491
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: throw it to him. I'm abandoning ship and I'm going

492
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 4: over there, you know. And That's what I would do.

493
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: And so a lot of it was just maybe I

494
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: wouldn't in the right spot, but it would turn into

495
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 4: big place.

496
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 5: Wow.

497
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: You know it's It's something where I think everybody here

498
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: sitting listening to George t tell these stories and we

499
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: appreciate George for join us here to night on Cowboys crosshok.

500
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: I think everybody hearing this is like wow, the way

501
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: he talks about the game, the way he you know,

502
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: analyzes it, and the storyteller areas. Has this ever been

503
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: I know you've done some stuff, you know, pregame shows

504
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: and different things like that. Has this ever been anything

505
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: that you thought like, oh, man, I can do some

506
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: of this stuff and I enjoyed it. I know you

507
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: love coaching and you've done a lot of that, but

508
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: have you ever thought about, like, man, I'd like to,

509
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: you know, kind of dabble in that part of it too,

510
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: or do some extra stuff there I have.

511
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 6: I had two choices I think when I got done

512
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 6: playing pro football was either do going to media side

513
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 6: or going to coaching.

514
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: I went into coaching, but I got this little itch of.

515
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 6: Trying to do the immediate thing, and that just happened

516
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 6: to get a call from CBS to said, hey, we

517
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 6: want to give you an opportunity if you want to

518
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 6: take it. So I absolutely love doing this on Sundays

519
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 6: on CBS the Cowboys Game Day with Bill Jones and

520
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 6: Isaiah stand Back, you know, Brie. I mean it's just

521
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 6: it's so good, uh because it keeps me close to

522
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 6: the game. I like watching films still breaking it down,

523
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 6: you know, uh, scribbling pretending like like I'm the coach

524
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 6: and like I know everything that's going on. So I've

525
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 6: totally enjoyed this, and that's why I like come doing

526
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 6: this stuff that you guys.

527
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 7: And you got to do.

528
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: You know, we we we've made so many you know,

529
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: points about Alabama and the fact that they lost to

530
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt Georgia. I think we've underlined that pretty effectively today.

531
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 7: I didn't count against Georgie didn't.

532
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: But but you're still a big SEC guy, I'm sure,

533
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: and and and uh, you know, a fan of the

534
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: conference and things like that. I believe you got a

535
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: chance to to kind of go check out some stuff

536
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: at the SEC Media Days earlier this year.

537
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 5: You know what I did is a my first time going.

538
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 5: People always ask did you go as a player?

539
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 6: No, I don't even know we had the SEC Media

540
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: Days back then, or I wasn't good enough to be

541
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 6: invited to go sit on the panel anyway at that time.

542
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: But you know what I learned when I got there

543
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: was that you guys are different. Well this is like

544
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 4: as a player.

545
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 6: It was the first time that I actually had to

546
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 6: try to fight for the interview to get there.

547
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: There's so many people there.

548
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm having to call who is the

549
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 6: person that can get me next to Jayalen Monroe.

550
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 5: I need to have that two questions? Can I get

551
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 5: them by myself? For a minute?

552
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 4: And man, I just felt, I don't know, I kind

553
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: of felt kind of a little dirty. I'm like, man,

601
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: to analyze a little bit of football for us and

602
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: uh look back and then look forward. Let's uh, let's

603
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: take a look at this Pittsburgh game, Cowboy doing this

604
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: one twenty to seventeen. And really, I think if you

605
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: look back over the Cowboys in the last three to

606
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: four years, a lot of these games that they've won,

607
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: people maybe feel like finesse. You kind of blow the

608
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: doors off of people when you win, and when adversity

609
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: hits and some of these tougher, more physical football games

610
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: hit a lot of times, those are games that the

611
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: Cowboys have dropped in the past. That was not the

612
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: case this weekend, where there was a lot of adversity

613
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: that hit, some of itself inflicted, but a lot of

614
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: adversity that hit throughout the game, and the Cowboys came

615
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 2: back responded, didn't let it break them, even in the

616
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: face of injuries and trouble and all sorts of things.

617
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: So I just want to kind of go around the

618
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: table over here, starting with George, your just thoughts on

619
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: that resolve that the Cowboys showed and do you feel

620
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: like you learned anything new about this specific football team

621
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: winning a game like that in Pittsburgh.

622
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 6: I did, and I immediately tweeted out after the game

623
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 6: that the Cowboys actually showed me something there because I

624
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 6: wasn't expecting them to win, and particularly when you had

625
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 6: enough their injury quite early with Neiland, you know, I

626
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 6: just thought, oh man, we're about to fall apart, you know,

627
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 6: and it just to see them continue to fight and

628
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 6: battle the whole time I did not know what the

629
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 6: defense is gonna look like. I was worried about, you know,

630
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 6: was Mike Zimmer gonna have these guys ready to play

631
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 6: on defense, you know, And I've never really been like that.

632
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 4: It felt like it was gonna be a battle that

633
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: would be in a tough game, but I didn't think

634
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: we'd win it.

635
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 7: At the end, I agree.

636
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 3: I think that when you talk about the Cowboys victory

637
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh, that's that's a game that they typically lose. Right,

638
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 3: That's a game where so much has gone wrong before

639
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 3: the game, with the injuries to Michael Parsons and DeMarcus

640
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 3: Lawrence and even with the rain delay, right, and then

641
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: you get into the game and first defensive drive of

642
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: the game, you lose Marshawn Kneeland, who was a key

643
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: in stepping up in the absence of Micah and DeMarcus Lawrence.

644
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: So they were gonna look to him to be one.

645
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: Now you're looking at okay, wow, now we were our

646
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 3: top three guys. We already don't have Sam Williams on

647
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 3: the field because of the torn a cl You're thinking

648
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: to yourself, this is the Cowboys have all the reasons

649
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: in the world to just concede mentally, but instead Chauncey Gohosten,

650
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: Tyris Weed, Carl lost, and those guys stepping up lin

651
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 3: Vald Joseph. He looked like he turned the clock back

652
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: ten years in that game, you know, exploding blockers in

653
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 3: front of him to create sack fumbles and things like that.

654
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 3: And even then they had more reasons because they had

655
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 3: self inflicted wounds. Eleven penalties that can't continue to happen

656
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: on the road, right, and then go fast forward to

657
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: the end of the game.

658
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 7: Ric o'dowdell.

659
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: He's having a fantastic game, a career game even, and

660
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: then he leaps over the nine and he fumbles the

661
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 3: ball in that split second.

662
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 7: What Cowboys are we going to see? Is this how

663
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 7: the Cowboys lose?

664
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 3: Because typically if all those fails, that's how they're gonna

665
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 3: lose that game. Dak Prescott, who didn't have the best

666
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 3: game himself, he falls on that to give them another shot.

667
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 7: Fast forward, a couple plays fourth down, one more play

668
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 7: to win it.

669
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Towris Jalen Tobery, you know Tobert, Yeah, yeah, he

670
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: from one of the Georgia neighbors, one of those Georgia

671
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: neighbors where he's from.

672
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: Nay, I happened to know that one of my general

673
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: rules over the last couple of years, I think is uh,

674
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: just just show me how dirty the jerseys are at

675
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: the end of the game, how dirty the uniforms are

676
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 2: at the end of the game. And I can tell

677
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: you with some likelihood, I think if the game was

678
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: one or not, this was a dirty jersey game, a

679
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: dirty uniform game that they fought and they showed a

680
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 2: lot of resolve. And you, I know last year talked

681
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 2: specifically about I need meaner, I need mean or I

682
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: need tougher on this football team. Do you feel like

683
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: you got some more of that on Sunday night.

684
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 4: Yes, we truly did, and it just felt I felt

685
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 4: warm and it's not just a fire time. Yeah, I'm

686
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 4: telling you I was ready to jump on anybody that

687
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 4: was gonna say yeah, but I wasn't having that when

688
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 4: Monday came.

689
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 7: I don't stayed up to three four in the morning, y'all.

690
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 7: Don't got off that player.

691
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 4: All of us here, we hadn't suffered through that getting

692
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: into bed after two o'clock, y'all after five. Yeah, Yeah,

693
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't want to hear. We have always

694
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: off finessed, especially me. What are we gonna do when

695
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: the team is equals are better than us in talent,

696
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: and we fought and that's thank you. And my hat's

697
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 4: off to Mike McCarthy. He kept calling the plays no

698
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 4: matter what. He kept calling rico'donda. You had that bad

699
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 4: move at the end of the game, interception Rico Dona.

700
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 4: Uh fumble Rico Dona. He was the the just the

701
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 4: calm and effect. You know, something go wrong, just handed

702
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: the Ricodonda under the game. We we normally give it

703
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 4: a dac. That that put it into Rico Doda.

704
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 7: I love that. And it was also it was the

705
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 7: role player stepping up.

706
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 3: I mean, when you get a guy like it's a

707
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: critical drive, cowboys gotta have it.

708
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 7: Here.

709
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: Here's Hunter Luckey, Yes, with a critical play on the

710
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 3: third down and then you give it to Jake Ferguson

711
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: and he extends it more.

712
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 7: But I mean to see, physicality is the big thing here.

713
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 7: Because a couple of.

714
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 3: Times this season and the Marrioon Overstown spoke on it.

715
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: After the win against the Giants, he said, we're we're

716
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 3: football players, but we're human.

717
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 7: We see that.

718
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 3: You know, we're watching TV and we're being called soft

719
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 3: and things like that. They took that the heart the

720
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers make their name on being able to bully

721
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 3: opposing teams. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have typically, like you said, Bobby,

722
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: they've been the finess team. They're either blowing out a team,

723
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 3: and if they're not blowing out the team and it's close,

724
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: they're probably going to lose. Well, they marched right into

725
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 3: the Steel City undermanned on both sides of the ball.

726
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 3: And then when you look at what how Jordan Lewis

727
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 3: was getting under George picking Skin and those receivers for

728
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was Jordan Lewis that defense, Dak

729
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: Prescott that offense. They were the bullies against the Pittsburgh

730
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 3: Steelers and that Mike Tomlin culture which is a rollover

731
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 3: of the Bill Cower culture and Dolan. So, yeah, the

732
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys if they continue to be the bullies, and these

733
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: are the kinds of wins that pay off when you

734
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: can get to like you said, yeah, Clean, Yeah, that

735
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 3: scout and oy thet clean.

736
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 7: That's what killing their offensive drives. Yeah, because they can

737
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 7: move them. They can move the ball.

738
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 6: Talking about Rico but and yeah, he has some great

739
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 6: runs and all that kind of stuff. But what I

740
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 6: really enjoyed the most out. It was the past that

741
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 6: it called a lot of times you see in running backs,

742
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 6: you know, catch the screen passes, what you did a

743
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: week ago, you know, going in for a touchdown, but

744
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 6: having him lined up in the slot and actually doing

745
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 6: what he did to the safety getting open. Yeah, you

746
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 6: can say he tripped or whatever, but it it was yeah,

747
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 6: you know, he kind of leaned into him game and stuff,

748
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 6: and I know he talked about it after the game,

749
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 6: saying that that's not exactly the route that he's supposed

750
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 6: to run, but it didn't matter. It was body control,

751
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 6: just to want you to just to be able to

752
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 6: do that, and that meant understand how he caught the

753
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 6: ball and got his body up underneath that ball so

754
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 6: he wouldn't have to fight.

755
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 7: The ground for the ball and maybe it bounces off

756
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 7: and they lose that touchdown.

757
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 5: So phenomenal mat drills, right the drill.

758
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: You know, I want to I want to ask both

759
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: George and Nate both sides of this question here. So

760
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: Philip Tanner, former Cowboys running back, local Dallas area guy,

761
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: and somebody who was a coaching assistant on the team

762
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: a few years back. I remember he and I were

763
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 2: talking he's coaching over at Burtless High School. Now, I

764
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: remember I asked him, I'd said, you know, they're reached

765
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 2: a point where like a Zeke's sufficiency there anymore, what

766
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: does he bringing? He goes, Man, you have no idea

767
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: what Zeke's physicality. When Zeke is doling it out, even

768
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 2: if it's four yards or five ors, you have no

769
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 2: idea the juice that brings to this side over here,

770
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: that like, like how it just brings everybody together. And

771
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: He's like, and you have no idea how demoralizing it

772
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: is on the defensive side, when somebody's just hitting you

773
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 2: and running you over and just wearing you down. So

774
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: Reco Dabtle it felt like was doing a little bit

775
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 2: of that too in this game, where it's just hey,

776
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 2: we're committed to this and we're gonna get those tough

777
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: yards and we're gonna we're gonna bully you. George talking

778
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 2: about from the defensive side, that thought and that concept

779
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 2: of just somebody running on you over and how much

780
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: that can just drain you. And then Nate, how you

781
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: feel like you maybe get a boost of that on

782
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 2: the offensive side.

783
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: I want to talk about that from both perspectives.

784
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, me sitting on the bench watching it, watching a

785
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 6: running back take over and you know, making sure that

786
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 6: the drives keep going. It is a big boost for

787
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 6: you on defense, saying one, that guy is doing his thing,

788
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 6: or the offense is doing his thing. We need to

789
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 6: step up ours. So I guess there's that piece of it.

790
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 6: And when you see a guy getting folded up, getting

791
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 6: a tough yard, you know what, just it elevates you

792
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 6: as a player on defense to.

793
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 5: Say, man, this guy's getting hit. You know, I need

794
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 5: to do a little bit more.

795
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 6: So I think when you have someone like Rico that's

796
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 6: doing that, getting a tough yard is making things.

797
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 7: It lifts everybody up. I mean it just it's just

798
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 7: a dominance thing.

799
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean, as you you know, you're getting two yards

800
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: one yard, and we always try to hammer against the wall.

801
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 4: People don't like to hammer against the wall. I've been

802
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 4: begging for you heard what I said last week. So

803
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 4: we got to run the ball thirty times? People, Oh man,

804
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 4: that's a running against the wall. Yes, run against the wall,

805
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 4: because you keep chipping, especially strategic spots, all of a sudden,

806
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 4: the damn gonna break and everything gonna flow and that's

807
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 4: what happened. They just kept and you can see the

808
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,479
Speaker 4: body language of the are their defensive linemen. They weren't

809
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 4: coming as quick as they were. They kind of hesitated.

810
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 4: Now if they catch it, that means you got momentum

811
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 4: as offensive lineman. And then when a young fellow went

812
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 4: down a guiding and they moved tired there and they

813
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: brought in and they brought in bass bast first two

814
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 4: or three series. He took him a minute, but they

815
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 4: jammed him up. But after that he got into the

816
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 4: flow and they just started moving like a wave. Now

817
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they need to leave it like

818
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 4: that because the young fellow got to get his reps.

819
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 4: But that is that is That is the way.

820
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 7: To do it. And I'm not I know we dropping

821
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 7: out a character, but that is how Detroit does.

822
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what's gonna be interesting, and what'll be

823
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 3: interesting is and toil your point, McCarthy himself said that

824
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: the goal is to get at least thirty carries. Yes, sir,

825
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 3: that's his goal. So he was like, how many did

826
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: we have after the game, and we're like thirty one two?

827
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 3: He was like okay, great, and that so that's his goal.

828
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 3: But it'll be interested to see how this running back committee,

829
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 3: how fluid it is over the course of seventeen plus games,

830
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 3: because right now, it started out with Zeke as the

831
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: starter in Cleveland. Okay, it's now graduated to Rico as

832
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 3: the starter, and Rico is catching his stride. But it's

833
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: a long season and we know Zeke he still has

834
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 3: some juice, but he's not a spring chicken, right, So

835
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: is this a situation whereas if Rico begins to kind

836
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 3: of wear down just a little bit in November early December,

837
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 3: now you kind of slide that scale more so to

838
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 3: Zeke to take the load off of Rico, so that

839
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: maybe once you get to the playoffs, because I believe

840
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: they will, now you have two fresher backs than they

841
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: would be if you were just riding a bell.

842
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 7: Kyle the entires. I just think Zeke has to be

843
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 7: patient and has to keep the spirit up.

844
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 4: You're talking about a guy that's eaten a lot, because

845
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 4: I'm talking about inside. He's yeah, he's a competitor, so

846
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: he has to see it the big picture like you

847
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 4: are seeing it.

848
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 7: Like I'm saying it like a game.

849
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 4: It's to play the long game, play the long game, because,

850
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 4: my friend, it comes a point where you're gonna need

851
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 4: three yards in the cloud of dust.

852
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 7: Nobody doesn't.

853
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 4: That's going to your question that you're asking that what

854
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 4: does that do on the defense? When you can't stop

855
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 4: people from running, it hurts. It is demoralizing when you

856
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 4: cannot stop someone from the cowboy doesn't even have to

857
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 4: be big plays. It's what if they're getting three four

858
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 4: yards of chunk and it's first down and all of

859
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 4: a sudden, it's nine plays, ten plays, twelve players like

860
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: god dog in the back.

861
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 5: Best we get off the field, you know, is y'all

862
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 5: gonna tackle anybody else the long line back. Let's get downhill,

863
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 5: let's do this. Hey, you gotta get some double teams

864
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 5: up there. They run the I don't need to be

865
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 5: tackling these dudes.

866
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 3: They single player in the secondary because now they're making

867
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 3: you stack the box.

868
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 7: The box.

869
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 5: Coming up. Now they're chipping up to me. No, bro,

870
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 5: that's not what I get paid for.

871
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: And you mentioned Larry Allen there, and we're about to

872
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: take our break and we'll come back and talk about

873
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 2: the line. But you mentioned in Larry Allen there that

874
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: demoralizing aspects reminds me of a story Antonio Pierstold, who's

875
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: now the coach at the Raiders, used to be a

876
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: linebacker obviously for the Giants, where he said that Larry

877
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: Allen used to have that dip in his mouth. He

878
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: said he'd spit dip to the spot that he was

879
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 2: gonna he'd let you know, I'm going right here, I'm

880
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: gonna come block you. And he said, he said, you

881
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: have no idea how demoralizing it is to go against

882
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: a unit that is telling you I'm gonna be right

883
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: here and I'll tell you where we're going. We're just

884
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: gonna do this and we're gonna assert ourselves. And that

885
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: seems like something that the Cowboy's got a real big

886
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 2: benefit for. We were joined by George Steak tonight. We're

887
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: gonna wrap things up one more seconds to go here

888
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: on the SWBC Cowboys cross Talk. When we come back,

889
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna preview this lines game a little bit, another

890
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: game that very well could be a physical, run the

891
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 2: ball down your throat type of game, and how the

892
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 2: Cowboys can respond to that. That's next her on the

Speaker 2: analysis as we head into this game with the Detroit Lions.

911
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: Before we get into some analysis, Pat just reset for

912
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: us what the injury report looked like today. I know

913
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: that Eric Kendricks popped up on it. He was a

914
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,720
Speaker 2: did not practice and then there was also Nick Vigil

915
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 2: who two guys who typically use the headset when Kendricks

916
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 2: goes out. So we got your green dot with Nick Vigil,

917
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 2: So just reset the injury situation for.

918
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 3: Well, we're talking about adversity right well, that adversity train

919
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 3: is not slowing down right now for the Cowboys.

920
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 7: We will see how the rest of this week plays out.

921
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 3: Obvious they're gonna have their heaviest practice on Thursday, and

922
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 3: Shells they got practice on Friday, walk through on Saturday.

923
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 3: But like you said, Eric Kendricks, he did not participate

924
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 3: in today Wednesday's practice with a calf and shoulder issue.

925
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 3: Nick Vigil he did not participate as well. Nick is

926
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 3: dealing with a foot issue. So we will monitor those

927
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: over the course of the remainder of the week. But

928
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 3: you're probably if one or both of those guys missed,

929
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to get more reps out of a

930
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 3: guy like Damon Clark. His reps have kind of been dwindling.

931
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 3: As Mike Zimmer gets to Mary and over shown more

932
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: reps and the base packages already works a lot.

933
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 7: In the sub packages marys Leo file, he's.

934
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 3: Getting out there a lot, but you're gonna need more

935
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 3: from Damon Clark if one of these two guys can't

936
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 3: go positive news though Deron Bland his twenty one day

937
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 3: practice window was opened today, so the Cowboys have until

938
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 3: October thirtieth to either put him on the active roster

939
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 3: or he reverts to season ending IR. But by all accounts,

940
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 3: whether you're talking to Mike McCarthy, who is framing it

941
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 3: a little bit differently than what Stephen Jones is framing it,

942
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,959
Speaker 3: as Steven said that Darron Bland has a great chance

943
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 3: of playing again the Detroit Lions. Mike McCarthy said, We're

944
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 3: gonna take this one day at a time. However it stands,

945
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: I don't think that Deron Bland waits until or needs

946
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 3: to wait until October thirtieth. Talk to Jordan Lewis today,

947
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis said, in Deran's first team practice today, well,

948
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 3: his first team practice since late August, he almost had

949
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 3: an interception. So he's out there pulling to George Teigue

950
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 3: right now, so he's That's the good news is that

951
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 3: we could finally as early as this Sunday against the Lions,

952
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 3: see Jordan Lewis, Trayvon Diggs, and Deron Bland on the

953
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 3: field at the same time. And no better time than

954
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 3: when you're talking about going against Jarrett Golf and this

955
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 3: receiving corps and Sam Laporte at tight end for the Lions.

956
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a tough Detroit Lions team coming to town.

957
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: They're coming off of bye week, You're coming off a

958
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 2: very physical late night road game in Pittsburgh adversity. Yeah,

959
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 2: and this is a Lions team that loves to run

960
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: the football, play tough, physical football, and a Lion's team

961
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 2: looking for some revenge after they felt a little upset

962
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 2: with how things were officiated at the end of last

963
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: year's game against the Cowboys in a win for two

964
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 2: or declear the guy eligible that, George, what are you

965
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 2: looking forward to in this game against the line man?

966
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 5: You just hit this and both of you guys hit on.

967
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 6: It's what you need to know is that they when

968
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 6: they get in the red zone, they love to run

969
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 6: that twelve personnel and which means you're gonna have to

970
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 6: stack up this one running back, two tight ends create

971
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 6: an extra running gaps. So we got to be thick

972
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 6: up there in the line that they're just going to

973
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 6: have to be around because that's thirty percent of the

974
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 6: time they're doing that, they're trying to run the ball.

975
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 5: That's a lot of percent.

976
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 6: So so I'm looking forward to see how Mike Zimmer

977
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 6: does run pressures, run pressures to try to force them

978
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 6: into situations to throw the ball.

979
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

980
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 6: I know they got a mom Ross Saint Brown and

981
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 6: my boy Jamison Williams. But we can't let that two

982
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 6: headed monster get free by running the ball up.

983
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 5: And down the field.

984
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: Nate, what are you looking forward to?

985
00:53:51,680 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 4: Well, you know, check, I just won't. I want a

986
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 4: physical game. Yeah, I said every week. I think this

987
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 4: is a soft rebuild for the Cowboys. Detroit has a

988
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 4: great team. They play, you know, a great offense through

989
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 4: the run game. They got Aiden Hutchinson on the defense,

990
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 4: a lot of players that play in their position right.

991
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn got them going in the right race. This

992
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 4: is a chance for the Cowboys to come out and

993
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 4: play physical ball the second week in the row.

994
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 7: Clean up whether they messed up last week up most

995
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 7: of it. They just compete. I just want the Cowboys

996
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 7: to compete.

997
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 3: What's the game need to look like, Pat, I mean,

998
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 3: first and foremost, you got to stop the run. And

999
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 3: we say that because that's the theme weekly no matter

1000
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: what team you're talking about. But it's even more prevalent

1001
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: and pressing when you're talking about a backfield that features

1002
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 3: David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs. For my money, that's the

1003
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 3: best running back duo in the entire NFL. But if

1004
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 3: you can stop that or at least bottle that up,

1005
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 3: then comes the task of knocking Jared Golf off his spot. Okay,

1006
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: So if you can knock Jerreed Golf off his spot,

1007
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 3: he'll give you opportunities. For take a, He's five touchdowns

1008
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 3: right now to full interceptions, but two of those touchdowns

1009
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 3: came against the Seahawks, so that means before that game

1010
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 3: he was three touchdowns to full interceptions.

1011
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 7: He was struggling. The Cardinals, the Rams, and the Buccaneers.

1012
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 3: All held that high power Detroit Lions offense to twenty sixteen.

1013
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 7: I believe twenty six points.

1014
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: That makes a winnable game if your offense can punch

1015
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 3: the ball in after extending drives. So not Jared Golf

1016
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 3: off his spot, but make sure that you're containing him

1017
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 3: on the edges and make him throw under the wrists,

1018
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 3: and he'll give you some opportunities.

1019
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 7: And I think that's what's going to decide the game.

1020
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean Dallas obviously down a lot of

1021
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 2: different pass rushers right now. Jared Goff last couple years

1022
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL

1023
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 2: against the Blitz. So those guys stepping up in the

1024
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: front four.

1025
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 5: Big get your hands up because I'm crossing the routes

1026
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 5: are coming.

1027
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 7: There, you go.

1028
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 2: That's exactly what is really quickly here, in just the

1029
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: last minute that we have, we'll go around George, Nate

1030
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 2: and Pat prediction for the game coming.

1031
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 7: Up on Sunday. Excuse me, I didn't hear what you said,

1032
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 7: light out.

1033
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying to cram.

1034
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 6: It a you know, I am not taking the Cowboys

1035
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 6: to win this game, and I think that is you know,

1036
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 6: we lose by six.

1037
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 4: Nate Cowboy though one Hey, just like last year.

1038
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 3: Pat, all the adversity in Pittsburgh, every possible reason for

1039
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 3: the Cowboys to drop that game, they didn't. The Detroit

1040
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 3: Lions should be heavily favored in this game and will.

1041
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 3: But I can't wrap my head around a what will

1042
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 3: be a four game losing streak at home for the Cowboys.

1043
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 3: I feel like they just they buck up and figure

1044
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 3: to get this done. Defense might struggle with the passwords,

1045
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 3: so Lions gets twenty seven, but the Cowboys get thirty.

1046
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: That does impress you tonight on the SLBBC Cowboys Crosstalk.
