1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk with Dallas Cowboys CEO. Oh Stephen Jones, Sir,

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: how are you this morning? Well, it's uh a bitter

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: sweet obviously. Uh, you know, the wind was huge for us.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time, to lose our leader, our

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: captain or you know, he's just what, he's our heart

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: of meat. To lose him just you know's just really,

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: uh just kills you in terms of deep down and

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: for him, he heard everything that he stands for and uh,

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's just I think we're still in shock.

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: But certainly, uh you know, back Central Warrior and he's

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: been through a lot and he's always overcoming and there's

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: gonna be no exception to get in here and do

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: what he needs to do. I'm sure obviously everybody's prayers

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: are with him. You know, he should be able to

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: uh used to do to rehab and come back ready

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: to go. And yeah, although it's system so very difficult

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: to setback for him and for us, it's something that

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: we felt great about him totally overcoming and be ready

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: to go next year. Can you tell us anything about

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: those moments that were shared up there in the box.

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: We saw everyone in the family getting emotional. Can you

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: tell us about any of those interactions or more specifically,

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: about any of the emotions that you had immediately in

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: that moment. Well, let's just goes without saying. You know,

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: immediately the very very grovesome insignificant angel. So you can imagine,

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, you're feeling thanks so much of that a player,

27
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: but the first there wasn't must be going through this mind.

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Such a competitor loves this game and loves this you know,

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: just rent wild ranges of emotion, very not put down

30
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: the same in the locker rooms right after it happens,

31
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: when you've got him in there, and you know especial

32
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: especially Stephen, have you have you talked with him personally

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: since uh, since the injury last night? Yes, I talked

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: to him last night after the n and that conversation

35
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: with him was that conversation like it's just, uh, you know,

36
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: it's obviously how much our prayers were with him, how

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: much we believe in him, how much gonna be put

38
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: at the same time, noticed, if you're gonna come back better, stronger,

39
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm better than ever, so that our basing our franchise

40
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: that happened, and know that he'll overcome, He'll overcome than

41
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: driven special name and Stephen the Cowboys stance, and you've

42
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: made it pretty clear already this morning that the stance

43
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: has been that the plan was for Dak to be

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys quarterback for the long haul, and that was

45
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Dak's message too after yesterday. Did that change and do

46
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: you see that changing in the future? They have eye

47
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: it's our future. Any one can help man gets me Dack.

48
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: This is something that uh, you know, our doctors still

49
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: good and he'll he'll overcome and come back better than that. Stephen,

50
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to that, I was asking on social

51
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: media for kind of doctors to give us an idea.

52
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Is this a four to six month injury? What's the

53
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: hope when he can be back? And kind of practicing

54
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: with you guys again, I think it's premature go there

55
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: just yet and don't want to learn more. Uh, we

56
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: move forward here before we make any of those type

57
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: of comments thanking early on right now and being totally unbarried,

58
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: just say right now then feel very good and he

59
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: can come back better and stronger than ever. So last

60
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: night I'm watching Sunday Night Football and Tony Dungee is

61
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: talking about the injury and I know I'm paraphrasing here,

62
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: but he said that this could be something where Ezekiel

63
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: Elliott really steps up in your identity, could be maybe

64
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: more of a running team for the rest of the

65
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: two twenty season. Can you speak on maybe where the

66
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: offense is gonna go without Dak? Well, first of all,

67
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: I would say that they were so fort and have

68
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Dalton, and you know, he's just been a pleasure

69
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: to have since they walked in the door. And we

70
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: certainly can be a barrier, you know, addressing patting football

71
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: teams obviously not going to have the mobility than Dak has,

72
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: but he was certainly she saw yesterday, but when we

73
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: had to have it taking tremendous throws down the field,

74
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: and you know, he pros led us team to the playoffs.

75
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's a winner. Uh, you know, like everything

76
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: about it, you know, as far as our strategy, you know,

77
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: as as far as you know what type of offense

78
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna be, you know, our you know, yesterday I

79
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: think epitomize what we want to be real closest there

80
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: fifty fifty run past. Unfortunately, we've just put ourselves behind

81
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: the eight ball in so many games that uh, this year,

82
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: especially in the first four that you just had to

83
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: get away from them. Uh you know, yesterday we were

84
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: able to make the four team points up and fairly

85
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: quick order and get back to where we could play,

86
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, outfoy football. And you know, obviously, you know

87
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: it's not always going to be a perfect in term

88
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: of the fifty fifty. But you know, when you got

89
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: a player like the season got to, you gotta utilize

90
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: Jungy shows, whether he's catching the ball out of the backfield,

91
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: whether he's running the football. You know, it's a fistfulness

92
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: and it's not to put up positive and being gass

93
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: at football team talk with Stephen Jones right here on

94
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: one oh five Through the Fan. Now, last week we

95
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the idea of confidence. What I'm

96
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: curious about is does getting a win over a divisional

97
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: opponent automatically give you confidence or does the fact that

98
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: even before the injury, if we're being honest, the team

99
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: was struggling against one of the to this point worse

100
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. So does confidence come with this

101
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: win or not? I think we make steps gaining confidence.

102
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the one thing that keeps reharent

103
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: a head or the turnovers. And I would also turn

104
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: over battle again yesterday, which you know, most of the

105
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: time not gonna win the gameslice to turnover battle laws

106
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: to the point Gasterday obviously at the huge sack bumble

107
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: for a touchdown and really you know, as you wrote

108
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: out their bikes X, so uh, you know, we just

109
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: we've got to quit put in, which we did again.

110
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: We put ourselves little team boards out or left up

111
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and we will pick that up before halftime. And then

112
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: we were with like good solid football and you know,

113
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: really put ourselves, uh you know, in jeopardy and losing

114
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: that game with another turnover. So those are the things

115
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: we've got to eliminate. If we eliminate those, and we

116
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: continue to make strides on defense. And you know, it's

117
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: fairly easy for anybody to see the type of firepower

118
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: we have on our offense. Certainly our myths tremendously, but uh,

119
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, you look at our you know, our white

120
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: apps on just our top three, but our top five

121
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: white apps that Dalton Shultz has just done an amazing

122
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: job filling in to play Jarwin and uh, certainly our

123
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: running backs is Zeke and Pollard. We've got a you know,

124
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: a really formidable group and we're having to as everybody knows,

125
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: having you know, piecemail the offensive group together a little

126
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: bit right now, but they're doing any marble job, and

127
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, we feel good we can have a really

128
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: good football team. Something I don't want to lose in

129
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive discussion is special teams. Have what

130
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: has been your thoughts about special teams right now, because

131
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: obviously a penalty helped out what could have been a

132
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: disastrous special teams play yesterday, and it's the same thing.

133
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: We've just got to continue, uh, you know, really digest

134
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: the players that've got to you know, really get our

135
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: culture right. And same Hole's troup for special team were

136
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: all the John Fossil is one of the top guys

137
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: in the league, and I take ultimately the cream rises

138
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: to the top, and uh, you know, obviously had to

139
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: overcome some tough situations. We get out on a on

140
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: a pretty creative played by the Giants that a penalty nullified,

141
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: and certainly we gave them three points on having too

142
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: many men on the field. Those that go right along

143
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: with the turnovers that we've to eliminate. If we do that,

144
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: certainly we're gonna be a much better football team. Stephen,

145
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: what is the current planned y'all? Look, are y'all looking

146
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: at other potential backup quarterbacks? Or is Denucci the plan

147
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: going forward? Well, right now, Denucci, and you know I'll

148
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: go back to it again. We're always looking at player

149
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: acquisition five days a year, and we'll continue to do that.

150
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Football team obviously if she's kind of an unprecedented season

151
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: in terms of, uh, you know what's available out there,

152
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: But continue to work and do everything we can to Stephen.

153
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Last week, you're talking highly about Tristan Stephen, I think

154
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: we're losing you. Can you hear us? Okay? I can

155
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: hear you, okay. Uh So when it comes to Tristan Hill,

156
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: you're speaking highly about him last week. Unfortunately we find

157
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: out that he has also done for the season. How

158
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: tough is it right now? Your defensive tackle position, well,

159
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: as you know, we' McCoy early and I both have

160
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: them played the same spot under tackle. But you know

161
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: we've got a good, good depth into we lost him

162
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: part of what the league is right now. We're having

163
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: our challenges and uh we'll accept those and we'll go

164
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: to work and we'll get batter U Marty Cooper played

165
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: about sixty four percent of the snaps yesterday. That was

166
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: pretty low. Is there? Is he okay or was that

167
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: a usage thing? What was going on there? Yeah, he's

168
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: a few little things he's dealing with, and we just

169
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: felt was in our best interest, his best centriest not

170
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: to overdo him yesterday. Obviously he's an explosive guy. He's

171
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: one of the top RECEI league. But you know, it's

172
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: a long season and certainly, as everybody seeing said, Wilson

173
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and Noah Brown are stepping up as one and I

174
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: felt like that was the best thing for us yesterday.

175
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Are there any other injury concerns coming out of the

176
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: game yesterday that you can tell us about? On a

177
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: positive note, I think Mandress back and Cam Irving should

178
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: be coming back and tackle, so you know, those things

179
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: are positives and we got more coming after that. We'll

180
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: have you know, we should be getting back in fairly

181
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: quick quarter Cheeto and Andy Gregory will start to work

182
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: his way in and the defensive line, so you know,

183
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: we have some positives that are coming our way on

184
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: the injury front, which is certainly helpful. Do you feel

185
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: as though, because like I don't. I don't know how

186
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: much you've seen like fan reaction or maybe that's just

187
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: base off of some of the questions we've asked. Do

188
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: you feel as though maybe too much negativity surrounding this

189
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: when everything for DAK is understandable, but we should be

190
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: excited that a win did happen. No, I don't concern

191
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: myself with you know, with people who aren't with us

192
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: day in and day out. I mean, certainly just can

193
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: never appreciate our fan base and guys do covering our team.

194
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I understand concerns. I mean, we're certainly

195
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: didn't get off to the start we get off to.

196
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: I can see where fans, I can see where uh.

197
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, certainly the pundits and the media have certainly

198
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: had their reasons to have their concerns. But we control

199
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: what we can control, and that's we've got to work.

200
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: We've got to go to work this week. We've got

201
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: to continue to get better. And I think we got

202
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches in the National Football League

203
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: and coach McCarthy. I think we've got a great staff.

204
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: I think we've got really good football players, and we've

205
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: got to do the things that we can do to

206
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: make us better and control what we can control, and

207
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: we'll be a much better football team. Kevin, he's clearly

208
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: talking about us as pundits, because that's what we do. Stephen,

209
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: I did. I didn't want to. Um. I didn't want

210
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: to ask though, because, uh, you know, Nolan goes down

211
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: to the sideline and Jalen Smith has the best game

212
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: that we've seen from him so far. How much do

213
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: you think that affected their you know, their ability to

214
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: court can communicate and get out there and do the

215
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: things that he does well with his instincts. I'm sorry

216
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: I missed that question. Oh, Jalen Smith and having Mike

217
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: Nolan on the sideline, how much do you think that

218
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: helped with their communication? Because Jalen had the best game

219
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: so far this season? Absolutely, I thought Jalen did a

220
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: great job responding, and of course Mike's uh, you know, helping, uh,

221
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, our defensive group understand what he's trying to

222
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: get accomplished. And you know, I'm for anything that helped

223
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: us continue, you know, to continue to get better and

224
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: be able to execute and gain confidence as a defensive

225
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: unit because I'm I'm very convicted that we have really

226
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: good football players. We've just got to have him play

227
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: with confidence, and we saw some of that yesterday. I thought,

228
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: we've got some great pressure on Jones, the quarterback and

229
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, ads off to him. I mean, he's an athletic,

230
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: strong guy, and how many guys get away from from

231
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: Alden Smith once he gets a hand. And uh, you know,

232
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: he made some really good athletic plays out there. But

233
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: I did start to, you know, feel and see that

234
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: playing faster and got after the quarterback pretty good and

235
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: pushed him into some throws that he might normally make. So, uh,

236
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like this thing will continue

237
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: to get better as we go. And as I said,

238
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: we've got one of the best head coaches in the

239
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: National Football League and a great staff and a good

240
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: group of players. We appreciate your time this week, as

241
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: we appreciate having you on every single week. Thanks a lot, Steven,

242
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Thanks
