I know it's great, but you gotta 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: be a little more excited to do that because cousin, 35 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: you know sala's too good man. This was, this was, 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: this is why my media career didn't take off like 37 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: like like some of my cohorts, uh Me and Roger 38 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: I think probably had the same type of demeanor, type 39 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: of personality, and that we didn't. We were trained by 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: coach Landry not to get too excited about things. You know, 41 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: he'll get overexcited or under excited. Just keeping even keel 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: and and that shows up when you become a broadcaster. 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: You can really tell on radio, you know, I mean, 44 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: there's a big difference. So I've had to I've had 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: to force myself to actually try to get a little 46 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: bit excited about things because Michelle, our producer, and the 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: people I work with are constantly trying to get me 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: to amp it up a little bit, and it's hard 49 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: for me to do. Man, my whole my whole life, 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: I've been trained to just keep an even keel and 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: and uh So, anyway, maybe maybe before I die, I'll 52 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: get it figured out. But you know what, maybe we 53 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: can get you excited before the end of the show. 54 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: That's gonna be go tonight. Oh okay, so we'll work 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: on that one. And and Nate, I wanted to talk 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: to you, but you still okay, go on, I would 57 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: get excited, That's what I was gonna say.

And then two, what are some of 70 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: your what are some of your memories of sharing turkey 71 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: legs with the offensive line and Coach Madden talking to 72 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: you on Thanksgiving Day and Emmett being there? What's what? What? 73 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: What are the traditions that you remember that stand out 74 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: that that that was that was special. I'm and I'm 75 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: gonna wait. I'm gonna wait because I used to watch 76 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: him on TV on Turkey days. What was it like 77 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: for you, mister White Day? Well, it was, it was 78 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: It was special for us. You know, it was the 79 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: best thing that Tex Sram did for the Dallas Cowboys 80 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: was to negotiate this deal. And I don't know if 81 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: he everybody knows the story. Nobody wanted to play on Thanksgiving, 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to everybody wanted to be home with the family, 83 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: and and so he went to the league and told 84 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the league, we'll play on Thanksgiving, but we want to 85 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: deal with the league that we're gonna play every Thanksgiving 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be at home. And and what a 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: big deal. You look at this year, What a huge 88 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: deal this is coming off an embarrassing loss. Nothing better, Nate, 89 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: as you know that to get back on the field 90 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: as quick as you can. What you hate to do 91 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: is have a bad loss and then have a bye 92 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: week and you're sitting around and it's just festering. And 93 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: it's just so you get back on the field. You're 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: playing a team you know that they we should beat. 95 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: The Raiders are not playing very well right now. They 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: have to travel, we don't. Then you get ten days 97 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: after the Thanksgiving Day game to rest up for the 98 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: next one. So it's just a win win kind of 99 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: a deal. And to have it every year, to know 100 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: that you can plan ahead of time. Um, it was 101 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: a big thing back then. Of course, back then it 102 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: was us in Detroit. Now that now they got the 103 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: third game. Um, but it's it's it's still a big 104 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: deal because the whole rest of the league is watching you. 105 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: It's another It's a primetime game. And and uh, anytime 106 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: you can get that primetime stage where all the other players, 107 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: all the other coaches, all the fans are watching, it's 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: a big deal. Yeah. Wow, And I'm gonna tell you something, man, 109 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: And I'm I used to watch, man. You know, I 110 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: sit at my house.

So when I came, it was a part 117 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: of this on this Thursday team with these guys, they 118 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: was a big part of it.

But but now, he don't get excited, but no, no, no, 120 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: but but let me tell you something. When they joined 121 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the team, there was a there was a difference. He 122 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: made a difference, you know, our football team. And that 123 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: was the beginning. That was the beginning of the build back. Yeah. 124 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 1: You know, we we took a dive in the early eighties, 125 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: now eighty five, we won the Division weren't supposed to 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: eighty six. We were off to the greatest start in 127 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: the history of the Dallas Cowboys. Um, and then I 128 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: broke my wrist against the Giants. That then we went 129 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: one and one and seven one yea yeah the end 130 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: of that year. Then the next year was horrible. And 131 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: then we got Nate and that started. No seriously, that 132 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: started the build back of the Dallas Cowboys into the 133 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: early nineties. And then we all know what happened. You know, 134 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: after Troy got here and Nate started walking for him, 135 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 1: they made Nate a fullback and started giving the ball, 136 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: which which was a mistake. He let it go to him, Yeah, 137 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: let it go to his head. It was the beginning. 138 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 1: I told everybody built the team around me, not Troy 139 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: Michael Emmett. Yeah, but you know what playing on things 140 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: giving man, and once we started winning star, once we started, 141 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: things started happening. Man and John Madden. You know, I 142 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: spoke to a man one day in New York. We 143 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: was playing the New York Giants and were getting beat 144 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: and all that, But I said, miss Man, how you 145 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: doing it?

And that's when we were 170 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: a real football team. If you ask me now, my 171 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: career goes back when, you know. And then we got 172 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: the fancy that the big big hot tub and the 173 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: cold and all the fancy locker room and and it 174 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: was state of the art. Everything was state of the 175 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: art except the football team. Team football team. I was 176 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: coming later. But you know, it's funny how how you think. 177 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: You know, the more you money you spend, the more 178 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: you surround players with all the facilities, and you know 179 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: that it would make them better. But it did not 180 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: with us, you know. And I think it was because 181 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: of the type of player that Tom Landry recruited. Yes, 182 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: he got guys that we're old school, that were you know, 183 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: hard not hard workers. They weren't the fastest, biggest, strongest 184 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: guys in the league, but they were the best prepared, 185 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: the hardest working, you know, guys that hated to lose 186 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: um and and those kind of guys don't respond well 187 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: to fancy surroundings and being coddled and babied and all that. 188 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: And you know, so anyway. Uh, that's that's that's a 189 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: little bit of the history of Thanksgiving. You better history. Yeah. 190 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: When I walked into that old place in Royal Lane, 191 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: because I came when the State of Art and so 192 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: I got got back kind of early and they're like, okay, 193 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: now I'm gonna take you over here.

Shannon grows here with Kevin Gray, Nate Newton, 239 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: and the great Danny White. And Danny you mentioned it 240 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: last segment. I didn't even want to talk about it 241 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: on the show, But because you brought it up, I 242 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: think we have to address the issue. Kevin, what the 243 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: hell happened Sunday? Chris Jones is what happened? They've reached 244 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: all week and that's all the only name he said 245 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: all week on our show. So have at it, Kevin, 246 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: What did Chris Jones do? He wrecked the entire Dallas 247 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive line is what he did. Whether it was 248 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: Zack Martin, whether it was Connor McGovern it was. He 249 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: was no respecter of the offensive line on Sunday, and 250 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: they did a good job of moving him up and 251 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: down the line, and he was really able to get 252 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the Cowboys offensive line. So 253 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how they bounced back this week. 254 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: Tyrend Smith looks like he's gonna be ready to go 255 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day. That's gonna be a big help to 256 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: really stabilize that left side of the offensive line. But 257 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: give Steve Spagnol, the defensive coordinator, for can't see a 258 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: lot of credit. Had a good game plan, physical play 259 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: with his corners up against these receivers, and more importantly, 260 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: allow guys like Frank Clark and Chris Jones to get home. 261 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: And uh, they had fourteen sacks going into the game 262 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday. They had five A five ye five on Sunday, 263 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: the Chris Jones had three and a half of his own. 264 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: So that just tells you all you need to know 265 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: about how the Chiefs were able to get after the 266 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: Cowboys on Sings. Jones had his coming out party in 267 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys backfield on Sunday afternoon, and now the whole 268 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: world knows about him. Unfortunately, we didn't know that much 269 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: about him going into the game, but now we do 270 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: feel too late. Now, Yeah, that guy is a heck 271 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: of a player. I think he's gonna have he's gonna 272 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: have a great season going forward. Yeah, but what you 273 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: see Nate, uh just you know, when I was looking 274 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: at film on him, man, you know when you see 275 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: a bulldog and he you know, he has the ability 276 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: to the power over. He has ability when I see 277 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: a guy to six to five, three fifteen pounds and 278 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: he can play a little bit of defensive in a 279 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: whole lot of three technique over the guard and then 280 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: he can get over your nose. That's a value nightmare. 281 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: And then he plays on a high level. His motor 282 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: runs pretty high. So that's that's scary, and that's what 283 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: alerted me to him. And I saw him a little 284 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: bit last and then. And I hate to bring up 285 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: money because you know, as an ex player, you know 286 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: you're always fighting for more. But when when you're starting 287 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: quarterback has a contract that allows guys like him to 288 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: get paid. And that was one of the things I remember. 289 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: Chris Jones said, Man, I want to be on this 290 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: team because our quarterback took a little less so I 291 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: can be paid to stay here, and so I know 292 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: when it's time to be big dog, he gonna do 293 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: what it takes. There were Nate as an offensive lineman. 294 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: There were a couple of moving parts on the offensive 295 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: line this week. One Tyrant Smith game time decision, wound 296 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: up not playing and then you switched the Connors out. Yeah, 297 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: was that a smart move going into a week where 298 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: you really needed You were going into a statement game. 299 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: Should should they have waited let that play out a 300 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: little bit? Was that the time to do it? Did 301 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: you agree with the move? Talk a little bit about 302 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: the moving parts on off? The reason to move them 303 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: bothering me is because it was twofold for me. And 304 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: I try to talk to some people that was close 305 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: to the situation. Uh, they think these guys are pretty equal. 306 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: That one just had experience in the other one then 307 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern didn't have the experience, but they marked, they 308 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: marked the other kids. You have had three or four 309 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: games in a row where this kid has had one 310 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: or more holding some games almost mark. Yeah. See, Danny, 311 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: I try to tell people this, and you notice, for 312 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: as a player, you have a four game window where 313 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: referees look at film and you have to erase all 314 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: those bad marks because they don't want to see game 315 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: out the game out the game. Well, he had four 316 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: games and four holdings, two or more. You you were marked. 317 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: So now they and the coach, the coach before the 318 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: game like, hey man, better watch that fifty two, hey man, 319 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: watch that fifty two. So players flailing on you. And 320 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: even if you can get through the game and not holding, 321 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna get him. Yeah, and he was marked, and 322 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: they want to take that pressure off the kid. They're 323 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: still believe in him. They want to take it off 324 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: and they want to see what his other kid can 325 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: do because they say he earned the right to have 326 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: a chance. So it's just too bad that you got 327 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: to have Chris Jones as your first assign the first assignment. 328 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: But this kid played, and he got through the game 329 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: and he will get better. So let's give him a 330 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: game or two to see because we know and and 331 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: I give it to coach film and the officeive line. Coach, 332 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: I think he saw what this kid was starting to 333 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: lose confidence, you know, so you gotta make a change sometime. 334 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: And it ain't you don't have a seventeen of these 335 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: and ain't like the NBA. So you have eighty two 336 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: of them, you don't have a seen of them. It'll 337 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: help having Tyren Smith to your left to be able 338 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: to look over and have some help on that left 339 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: side of the offensive line too, with kind of a 340 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: government put that bionic arm out there. Let's Danny, how 341 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: big of a How big of an impact do you 342 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: think not having a Marie in the game. We saw 343 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: a lot of drop balls, Like what we talked about 344 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: it on our show. A lot of people out there like, oh, 345 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: CD's a number one, he's a number one, But you 346 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: saw in this game where when you're number one, when 347 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: you're number two, slides into number one, three slides into two, 348 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: four slides into three. The level of competition on the 349 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: defensive side kind of makes up for that that transition. 350 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: So how big of impact was that Amory not being 351 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: in the game. To be honest with you, I don't 352 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: think it was an impact at all, because because we 353 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: had Gallop coming back, timing was good from that time. 354 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm thinking going in, man, this timing couldn't have been 355 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: better because yeah, you're losing a mari on the top end, 356 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: but you got Michael coming back in and and we've 357 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: We've got a great group. I still think even without Amar, 358 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: I think we've got one of the best groups of 359 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: wide receivers in in the league. Um. But getting him 360 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: back will be nice, no question about it. But but 361 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: I have not seen people get on Dak that quickly 362 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: all year. This has been the best pressure wise, This 363 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: has been the most the teams have forced the opposing 364 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: quarterback to get the ball out quickly. This this has 365 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: been had. This team had the most impact of any 366 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: team I've seen all year. So I don't think whether 367 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: he was thrown it to, you know, to to Amari 368 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: or or who he was yeah, CD or UM, I 369 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: don't think it would have mattered because I think if 370 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: there's four guys there that can all run routes, get open, 371 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: create separation and catch the ball. Um, but you got 372 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: to get to him first. Yeah, see, I tried. You know, 373 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: when I look at it, when I look at a film, 374 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: when I look at Tate, you know, I'm offensive line 375 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: with whatever. The first thing I look at is because 376 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: everybody has one or two great ski opposition players, but 377 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: it's offensive the defense. So with a big separated is 378 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: your offensive defensive lines? Is your off can your offensive 379 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: line maintain this defensive line that you're facing, and if not, 380 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: then that's gonna affect your quarterback, and that's gonna affect 381 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: your receivers. And so whereas you may drop back and 382 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: have perfect time and the other games when you got 383 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: to get this ball out quicker, you know, even though 384 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: you can anticipate the throw a lot of times, receiving 385 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: them out to work a dB if I'm correct, and 386 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: then he may not come at that break just right. 387 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: Whereas you plan against a not so good team, you 388 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: may make up for that. But if you plan against 389 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: a team that's own point like these guys, well you 390 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: had to be precise. Am I correct there now? Absolutely? 391 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: And then it's the back end that everybody looks at, 392 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,239 Speaker 1: the media, the cameras. Everybody's focused on the back end, 393 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: which is the end of the play and not the 394 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: beginning of the play. The end of the play doesn't 395 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: matter if it doesn't work right at the beginning of 396 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: the play. And what Nate's referring to is being able 397 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: to the quarterback being able to set his feet. Now, 398 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: Dak Dak is one of those quarterbacks. He's a Tom 399 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: Brady kind of a thrower. Yeah, he needs to have 400 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: his feet set. He's best with his feet set in 401 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: the pocket rather than on the run running to his left, 402 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: throwing back to his right. Aaron Rodgers, Mahmod Patrick Mahomes. 403 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: Those are the guys that can make those trolls, but 404 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: they're not as good in the pocket. So we've got 405 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback that's that's one of the best in the 406 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: league and ever play the game in the pocket, and 407 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: so we need the offensive line and the system that 408 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: facilitates that. Okay, that type of a thrower, and um, 409 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: we didn't have it the other day, Kevin. I think 410 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: everyone felt really good about this team up until the 411 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Broncos game. Everybody was like, Okay, this a lot for 412 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs. There we're playing for the number one seed. 413 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: Then you hit a bump in the road with the Broncos, 414 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: and then it's like, Okay, you're gonna have a bad game. 415 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: Got punched in the mouth, but bounce back. You have 416 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: to do what you need to do. Against Atlanta, you 417 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: sock them in the mouth, you dominate them, you come out, 418 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: you don't look back. Then you hit another bump in 419 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: the road with Kansas City, and now it's kind of like, okay, 420 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: what is this team we thought we knew. Now it's 421 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: kind of like, where are they at? Where do you 422 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: think they're at right now? I still have a lot 423 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: of confidence in this team. This has been a really 424 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: weird NFL season. You think about some of the games 425 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: that you've seen this year, especially the last few weeks exactly. 426 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: You know, Buffalo loses to Jacksonville. You know, the Titans 427 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: lose to Houston this past Sunday. These teams have been 428 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: going through a lot this year. So for me, it's 429 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: about how the Cowboys respond after a loss to have 430 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: another opportunity to do so on a short turnaround this week, 431 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: and more importantly, when you started thinking about the games 432 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: going into December. Now you gotta go on the road 433 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: to New Orleans after this week and then figuring out 434 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: how do you still compete at the top of the NFC, 435 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: you know, with the Packers and the Cardinals, teams that 436 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: are still jockeing, you know, for the number one seed. 437 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: So I still have a lot of confidence in this team. 438 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: This team is getting healthier. You know, we saw de 439 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence get activated. Hopefully he's coming back here in 440 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: the next week or two, you know, Ceede Lamb all 441 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: these guys are starting to get healthy. That's gonna be 442 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: huge for this team going forward to continue to build 443 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: that momentum continuy that they wanted to have, you know, 444 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: coming into a stretch like this where they're gonna be 445 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: playing in one important game. So I saw a lot 446 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: of confidence in this team. Though you know, uh, the 447 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: men Shannon go through this periodically. I like to think 448 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: that this Cowboys team is a good is a good 449 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: football team. And what I mean by that is this 450 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: is their first full year with the coaches being able 451 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: to put their hands on them and doing and getting 452 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: these players in the right frame of mind. And it 453 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: ain't rather, it ain't about now. It's about what's gonna 454 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: be about four weeks from now, when you when you 455 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: really and everybody's into the grind and into the role. 456 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: Now your team begins to know who they are. We 457 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: get a few players back by that time, in three 458 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: or four weeks, we should have d lawback, We should 459 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: have all Gregory back. We should have even our Gallima. 460 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: We didn't forgot about him. We should have him back 461 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: and he should be playing a role in this and 462 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: now if we can just fortunately keep everybody have healthy. 463 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: Now you're fighting for one of those top four playoff spots. 464 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: If you could just become a better team. Right now, 465 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: you're just a good team. You've You've the AFC West 466 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: is the is the league right now. They are the NFL, 467 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders, the the Charges, the Kansas City Chees. They 468 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: they they set the standard for the last three two 469 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: or three years. Because Memoire will was playing the East 470 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: was it NFC East? We set the standard? They setting 471 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: the standard. And this is how you gotta play ball. 472 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: Do you have the players to either get better to 473 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: learn how to play like that on a fast level. 474 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: All right, let's take our second break when we come back. 475 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: What's up with Zeke in the running game. Let's talk 476 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: about that a little bit, and eventually we're gonna get 477 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: into a Thanksgiving Dave battle that we're gonna experience tomorrow 478 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: between the Cowboys. And it still sounds so weird for 479 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: me to say this, the Las Vegas Raids. That's that's 480 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: that's Nate's second favorite team. We'll talk a little bit 481 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: about that we come back coming up next. All that 482 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: more with the great Danny White.

You know, people, 497 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: and as as you get older, as I get older, 498 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: you gain more of an appreciation for the parts of 499 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: the game that made it possible for you to do 500 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: what you did. And and these guys, the Nate Newton's 501 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: of the world, of course, made it possible for us 502 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks to do anything.

Yes, parts of the game that at the 504 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: time when we were playing the game, we didn't probably 505 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: give it a second thought. But now looking back on it, man, 506 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: it's it's huge. Unfortunately, you can't go back and do 507 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: all the things you'd like to do for them to 508 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: say thank you. Um.

I don't I 536 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, when when you get out of 537 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: when you get out of your career, you go one 538 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: where you go into coaching, where you go into the media. 539 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: You know. I went into coaching, and for fifteen years 540 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: I coached in the Arena Football League and um it 541 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: had a great time doing that. And then when the 542 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: Arena Football League went away for me, uh, it was 543 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: Compass Media that came to me and started up this 544 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: Cowboys It was it was a matter of timing. They 545 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: started up the national radio broadcast, wanted me to head it. Up, 546 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: and I mean it was a matchmate in heaven and 547 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: we just have done it ever since. Been twelve years 548 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: now that we've been doing this, and and um got 549 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: a great group around Michelle Salvatore, our producer, been together 550 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: now for twelve years and it's it's just been a blast. 551 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: I think I've researched a little bit. They y'all went 552 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: into areas where it was hard for the Cowboys media 553 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 1: to get into, and they went penetrated these areas. I'm correct, 554 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, No, you're right. There there's two teams that 555 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: have really an national and an international fan base. It's 556 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Raiders. Yes, and so they those 557 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: are the two teams that Compass went after. So you 558 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: got Brad and Babe, and those of you that are 559 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: within the local listening area I think it's five hundred 560 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: miles or whatever it is are stuck with them. And unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, 561 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: people come to me and say, how how can we 562 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: listen to Well, if you live in Dallas, you can't. 563 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: You know, you're stuck with Brad and Baby. And I 564 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: say that, as you know, lovingly, because there is nobody 565 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: that ever did it better than Brad Brad Sham and 566 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: of course Babe Laufenberg and and so anything outside of that. 567 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: We're we're we're in two over two hundred markets, and um, 568 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: it's a syndicated broadcast, so that in every market we're 569 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: on a different station. Um, it's not like Sirius, it's 570 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: not you know, it's uh. So people say, well, how 571 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: how do I listen to it in Salt Lake City? Well, 572 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: you gotta go find us, you know. And and in 573 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: my family, they're all over the country and they all 574 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: want to listen to it, and they can as long 575 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: as their local team is not playing at the same time. Yeah, 576 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: we we we get blacked out if the local team 577 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: is playing. So you you used to actually be one 578 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: of the guys that actually like talking to the media 579 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: in the locker room. Did that have anything to do 580 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: with you coming over to the dark side? Yeah? The 581 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: thing is, uh, a guy Tom is his name, he 582 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 1: called man and a guy and I can't think ESPN local. 583 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: He's had a local affiliation, and they called me in 584 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, we want you to do a segment. 585 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: And that's how I started.

After the show, we 670 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: are here Shannon Gross and Cowboys Club on this Thanksgiving Eve. 671 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: To my right Kevin Gray. To his right, the great 672 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: Nate Newton, and to his right the great Danny White. 673 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: And before we get to Danny's topic that he brought 674 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: up in the last break, I brought this up and 675 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: I forgot about it, so I just want to touch 676 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: on it really quick. Don't to spend a lot of 677 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: time on it. Are you guys worried about Zeke? No, No, 678 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: we're worried about him. How his injuries and people have 679 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: said he's not looking like he was in the last 680 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: game like he has previously in the year. I just 681 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: want to know if you guys are worried. Yeah, I'm 682 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 1: as long as as long as we get the big 683 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: boys up front, so we're good, all right. A running 684 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: back has to see, has to see a crease. Yes, 685 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: there has to be some softness. Sunday, you handled the 686 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: ball to Zeke and boom, he was hit almost the 687 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: same time the ball got to him. Runbacks don't like that. 688 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: But if they can see just a little crack of 689 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: daylight and a guy like like Zeke, that's all he needs. 690 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: And he needs less of one than most running back. 691 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: All right, good enough for me. Let's move on to 692 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,439 Speaker 1: what your topic that you brought up in the last break, 693 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: and I thought it was great, is every year this happens. 694 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: Teams start out of the gate. You're like, they're gonna 695 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: run away with the division, They're running away with the conference. 696 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: They're doing this. You're starting to position yourself for the playoffs. 697 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 1: Halfway through the season and it's like a horse race. 698 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, some of those teams dropped 699 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: back and some teams start to surge. Now you're starting 700 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: to see, Danny, you brought this up, teams that are 701 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: positioning themselves to make this playoff run and leap for 702 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: all other teams you mentioned the Patriots, watch out for 703 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles, right, You've got the AFC West is kind 704 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: of up for grabs. You've got all these all these 705 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: you know, the packers. Who do you, guys see right 706 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 1: now that that worry you about surging and passing other 707 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: teams to be on the lookout for. You can stick 708 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: to the NFC, or you can even go over to 709 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: the AFC and tell me who who you're looking at 710 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: right now? I think for me and Danny brought up 711 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: you know this team earlier. You know it's to Philadelphia Eagles, 712 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: and more so because of you know, they got a 713 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: really easy schedule for the rest of the season. You know, 714 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,760 Speaker 1: their schedule is not great. Jalen Hursts continues to emerge 715 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: week over week. Not that I feel like the Eagles 716 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: will win the NFC East by any means, but this 717 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: is a team that could finish maybe ten and seven, 718 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: nine and eight and catch themselves an NFC you know, 719 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: wildcard spots. So the way that they've been playing that 720 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: better every week, I think Philadelphia Eagles are pretty dangerous 721 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: as they try to make their way up as far 722 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: as the NFC wild card spot is concerned. Yeah, I 723 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: mean the Eagles scare me a little bit, mostly because 724 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 1: they're they're in our division. Um, but you know, I 725 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: look at I look at coaches too, and and so 726 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: I will never bet against Belichick. I will never never 727 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: bet against Andy Reid Nate. That sounds familiar. They're those 728 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 1: two now they're both in the AFC, so so they're 729 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: not an immediate threat until you get to the super 730 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: Bowl but to the Cowboys. But but those two organizations 731 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: right now, there's just due here here they come, yeah, 732 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, here they come, and uh, those are two teams. Um, 733 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 1: now the Rams, and are the Rams and the Cardinals? 734 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: Uh in the NFC, I think because they held out 735 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray another week to get him. Now he's got 736 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: to buy a week, so he's gonna be one percent 737 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: going down the stretch. Um, look what the Rams have 738 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: done the last couple of weeks, you know, with their 739 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,919 Speaker 1: signings and man, they are building a monster out there. 740 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: So those are the teams that I'm seeing right now 741 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: that are timing this whole thing up. And and the 742 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: coaches are doing a great job of putting those groups together. 743 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: I'd say it right here. And uh, you know I 744 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 1: get some kick back from this. Uh, this team in 745 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: a world of wildness in the NFL. Corgn is a 746 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: soul consistent. They are so and you don't hear just 747 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 1: a lot about it either, you know. Yes, that was 748 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 1: the Seattle the the main quarterbacks not there, watch out, 749 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 1: watch out? And uh that that right there and uh 750 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: and I almost lost my mind, man, And and I 751 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 1: forgot about coach about check all West my man, but 752 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: he quickly he's kind of just hiding back in the wings. 753 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,839 Speaker 1: A defense is really good for anyw Englo. Yeah, yeah, 754 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: in that quarterback man, and I I liked it the 755 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: way Seattle did it when they when with Wilson when 756 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: he was young, they had the team. I liked it 757 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: when when Dak first was a rook we had the team. Now, 758 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: you just got to get a guy that don't make mistakes. 759 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady as became the goat by not making mistakes. 760 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: You you just but you very subtly said something that 761 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: people don't understand. You don't always start with a quarterback. 762 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: You build what's around it. And if you can do 763 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: it the way the draft is set up, now you 764 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: get those first five years almost for free, but then 765 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: you better have you better have something done in those 766 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: first five years before you give him that that forty 767 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars contract um. And that's a little bit 768 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,399 Speaker 1: of kind of what scares me about the Cowboys. They've 769 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: waited now, those offensive lineman, I'm gotten a little bit 770 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: older back and zeke Um, so they better get something 771 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: done here in the next couple of years. But that 772 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: to time all that up. And and I've always been 773 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 1: a believer in that you get the team and then 774 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: you find the quarterback. More so than what everybody talks 775 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: about starting with a quarterback you know, so, um, yeah, 776 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,760 Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm seeing. You do it with a season, 777 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: and you do it with a career, you do it 778 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: with a ten year a decade, but you also do 779 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 1: it within each season. And right now, those are the 780 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: teams that I see, at least right now that averybody 781 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: better watch out for. They're they're they're well coached, well organized, 782 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: and they'll be there at the end. All right, Kevin, 783 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: you start us off, what do the Cowboys need to 784 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 1: do tomorrow to get the dub and have victory Friday. 785 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: I think it's two things for me. It starts with 786 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: the offensive line. You know, you get Tyren Smith back, 787 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, alongside economic govern Lilie Collins, you know at 788 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 1: the right tackle spot. You know, last week, you know 789 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: they got dominated up front, you know, with Chris Jones 790 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 1: and Frank Clark and those guys really getting after them. 791 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: And I think the other thing, too is how does 792 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore schematically get these receivers open. I think last 793 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: week these receivers had a lot of difficulty beating one 794 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 1: on ones, beating press coverage and not really able to 795 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: get off and get a chance to get Dak Presscott open. 796 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: Targets last week. So how Kellen Moore gets these receivers open. 797 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: Hopefully seede Land will be able to play tomorrow, and 798 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: if he is, that's gonna be a guy that I'm 799 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 1: looking for to have a big game, the game of 800 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 1: the number eighty eight for a reason, and he's gonna 801 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: have to step up big time against a Raiders team 802 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: that can get after the quarterback. You know, Max Crosby, 803 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,800 Speaker 1: you know yannickn Goquay. These guys can get after the passer. 804 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 1: So I want to see how Kellen Moore in Goquay. Yeah, yeah, 805 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: how they get after You know, they can get after Dak. 806 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,280 Speaker 1: So Kellen Moore is gonna be under the microscope tomorrow 807 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 1: to see if he can get these receivers open for Dak. Well, 808 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: and what do you have to have when you have 809 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,720 Speaker 1: press coverage? What does a quarterback have to have? Time? Time? Yeah, 810 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: that's when the two fit together. I mean I go 811 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 1: all the way back to the eighties with Buddy Ryan 812 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: and the bare defense, and the reason it worked is 813 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 1: because those guys out in the corners they were going 814 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 1: to get open eventually, but by then the quarterback was 815 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: laying on his back. So so you put the two together. 816 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: And that's what Kansas City did us the other day 817 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 1: and it was beautiful. So yeah, it's to me. To me, 818 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: it's pass rushing running game. It's those guys in the trenches. 819 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 1: That's why I keep you know, every time I have 820 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 1: a chance to say thank you to a guy like 821 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 1: Nate Man, those guys don't get the credit that he's 822 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 1: earp because it all starts. You've gotten nothing if you 823 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: don't win that battle in the trenches. Forget. I don't 824 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,480 Speaker 1: care how good your receivers are. I don't care how 825 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: good your quarterback is. If you don't win that battle 826 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,880 Speaker 1: in the trenches. I tell you what, it's a quality 827 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 1: running game. I'm not looking for a hundred and I'm 828 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 1: looking for a one hundred and twenty good rough yards, 829 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, to keep the chains moving. They yeah, yeah, 830 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 1: and just keep the chains moving and be and be 831 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: dominant in the rid zone and I gotta capitalize the Yeah, 832 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: so I think, and nath that's a good point because 833 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone everyone thinks you gotta establish the run game, right, right, 834 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: you can do that early or late though, right, that's right, 835 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 1: that's right, you can. So what's the best way that 836 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,400 Speaker 1: is it better to come out running the ball and 837 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: establish that or is it better to you know, because 838 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 1: they you think that they they probably are thinking the 839 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: same thing. We got. We gotta take care take away 840 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: the run game. Do you come out and throw it 841 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: around a little bit and then establish it later. This 842 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 1: FC West opponents that we've played, they they they want 843 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 1: to make you be wanting to mention real quick and 844 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,280 Speaker 1: they and they gonna come out and try to smother 845 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,320 Speaker 1: us in the run so we can get some quality runs. 846 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not telling we have to get some quality 847 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: runs when it counts. Play play a great situation of football. 848 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 1: If it's third and two, let's see what Zeke gonna do. 849 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: Let's don't play action fasts a third and two, you know, 850 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: but let's let's see what Zeke can do with a 851 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: third and two of its third and five and then okay, 852 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,320 Speaker 1: we may it's a guesting game. You gotta stay on 853 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 1: schedule there. You gonna stay ahead of the chain. Problem 854 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 1: with it with establishing a running game, laid is you 855 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 1: got to have a lead. Yes, yeah, If you don't 856 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 1: have the lead, you can't do that. So you better 857 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: get it going early. Yeah, And the Cowboys or any 858 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: unique position. I mean on paper, that two headed monster 859 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,280 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys having as good as any in the league, 860 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, between Tony and Zeke and uh with the 861 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 1: good great thing is Tony's improvement in past protection. He 862 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 1: can he can. He's become a three down back, so 863 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 1: he can put him in on first down now not 864 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: wait till third down to put him in. But and 865 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: give a Zeke even more of a break. But yeah, yeah, 866 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 1: we're we're set up on paper to do it all. 867 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: Now we just have to do it all right, Let's 868 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 1: get down to our brass tax moment presented by Liberty Tax. 869 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,840 Speaker 1: Liberty Tax is a proud part of the Dallas Cowboys, 870 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: joined the team today at Liberty tax dot com slash 871 00:54:55,719 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: hiring Kevin.

I'm gonna I'm 891 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what the offense can do without Amari. 892 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna go real high over thirty.
