Speaker 1: Cowboys are headed to LA and Dave is just you know, lazy.

Speaker 1: of the team. Jesse. Dave is in his apartment in

00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: downtown Dallas. You know it's raining, just he's choosing to

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: just stay cuddled up and not come to the office.

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: For some reason, I thought there was a game this weekend,

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. I thought, you know, it

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: was like dedication. Jesse's not going to throw his homie.

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: I can't as as the only fellow other male of

00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: together the Bro code, the Bro code. L l a

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: big city of dreams. It is the big city of

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: dreams where we're hoping that the Cowboys get their dreams

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: come true. And lindsay you're own periscope getting our questions.

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Sure I am, and we'll get it started today because

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: I got a game. Jess. Oh you feel very far.

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: It's scoot over here all right for anyone who's watching

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: it on our periscope. But okay, we're gonna start with

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: this game, and then we're gonna get into some more bold.

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: He's expand a little about how the Cowboys can get

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: this win and move on to the NFC Championship. All right,

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: I'll start first, Jesse, I'm starting with you first, and

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: then Lindsey, and then I'll answer myself. The game is

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: called I'll admit it. Yep, exactly right there. I'll admit it.

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I thought this defense was blank m. It doesn't have

29
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: to be a one word, right, yeah, I'll admit it.

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: I thought this defense would fold at some point in

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: time during the season. Um. And I think the reason

32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: why I thought that because in the last nine years

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: under the Jason Garrett era, this has been an offensive

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: lead football team. Big He's an offensive minded football coach.

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: The defense has always been the liability. And this is

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: the one year that the defense has come out and

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: it's really carried carry. This team has put their foot down,

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: has said we are a top ten defense, We're a

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: top five defense. And I thought at some point in

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: time it was fools gold and that it would eventually

41
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, tank would still be tanked, but

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, not having a guy inside and some guy

43
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: named Antoine Woods, you know that they found on scrap.

44
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: People would would turn you know, the pumpkin would turn

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: back to the you know whatever, The kurt would turn

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: back into the pumpkin, and guys would kind of just

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: start showing themselves latent. Vandads would struggle. Jaylor Smith wouldn't

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: be able to run and all that kind of stuff.

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. So, I think for me, I thought this

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: defense would crumble at some point in time, and good

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: thing I was wrong. I'll admit it. I thought this

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: defense was still the bend, don't break type of defense.

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been here five seasons, and every season

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: i've been here, it's been a no name defense. It's

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: been well, let's put it together. They're gonna make play,

56
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: they're gonna stop you in between the twenties, but they're

57
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna allow huge plays at the middle of the field.

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: That's what I thought we had again, completely wrong. Haven't seen.

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: There haven't been many chunk plays. And when there have

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: been Seattle Week three things like that, it's been like

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: a major breakdown. It's been cleaned up too. I'll admit it.

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: I thought defense was inconsistent and that was the big

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: thing for me, kind of along the same lines of

64
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: both of you guys echoing what you said. But I

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: just thought they were flashy. I thought you'd have like

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: one flash Oh man, this game, the defense really showed out.

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: You got the same game and then they disappear again

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: or oh Antoine Woods. Yeah, that's why why he was

69
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: on a practice squad last year. Like I just thought

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: they were flashy and that they weren't gonna be able

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: to like hold it up and stay a strong unit.

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: But they've done that. And the biggest thing where I've

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: seen that and it doesn't get as much credit because

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a name, was the secondary right, Like

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: everyone was like, you need Earl Thomas on this team,

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Like you think you can really make a playoff or anything.

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: You can make a Super Bowl run without Earl Thomas

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: or a strong safety or a big corner. But Byron

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Jones was like, novels not on my watch. Like I

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: just thought they were gonna be inconsistent, and they proved

81
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: me wrong. And shout out to Xavier Woods and Jeff

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Heath because talk about the pressure of every single day

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: for like, yeah, when we up until we played Seattle

84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: up until the point that Earl Thomas broke his leg.

85
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: They were hearing every single week, trade for earl, trade

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: for earl, trade for earl, trade for earl, trade for earl,

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: trade for earl, trade for earl. And then you know,

88
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: they just kept their head down, kept going to work, saying,

89
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: you know whatever, it's not my concern. I gotta go

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: to work. To shout out to those two guys for

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: going out there and just bawling and not even worried

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: about what the naysayers are saying from the outside. Exactly

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: next one, Jess, I'll admit it. I didn't think Dak blank,

94
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: this is oh man. You could go a million ye,

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: you could go a million ways. You can focus on

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: one and come back to another. It's I didn't think Dak.

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: I didn't think Dak blank. You know it could be

98
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: like you women do mine first, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think Dak could get the ball downfilled. And

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: I think that was obviously prior to Amari Cooper. I thought, Okay,

101
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Dak is a good runner. Yes he's a mobile quarterback,

102
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: and he has Ezekiel Elliott, but he just can't get

103
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: the ball downfilled to his receivers. You know, you'd seen

104
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: him have these big passes and then it would just

105
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: be dropped, you know, or oh they'd be like that

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: was a terrible throw. He under threw this guy. But

107
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you've seen him kind of come around. Really. That Giant's

108
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: game was the biggest one for me. But he has

109
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: had these like big plays that we weren't expecting. So

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: I'll admit that I didn't think Dak could get it

111
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: down filled. I didn't think Dak was this clutch, and

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: oh I like that. One the reason I go with

113
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: being this clutch is because you know, or you saw

114
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: the funniest thing about this fan base is that they

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: pick and choose what matters week to week. I mean,

116
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: is winning all that matters? Is winning all that matters? Yes? Yes, Okay,

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Well when Dak's playing and he had some ugly throws

118
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: and bad things out there, it's not at all that matters,

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: right fans? And how many I don't know the stat

120
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago it was like thirty wins. He

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: was in company with Tom Brady even still three seasons

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: thirty two. Now he's pretty clutch. He wins, Yeah, I

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: mean he gets a whole other chapter to go in

124
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: with Dak, But I didn't think he would be this clutch,

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: bringing this many wins in three seasons. This consistently true. Yeah,

126
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: I think I have to stand along those lines as well.

127
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: And you know, if you follow me on Twitter, if

128
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: you follow me on Cover four or on the radio

129
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: pre a post game show, I haven't always been the

130
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: biggest Dak supporter. You go in on, you admit it

131
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: that Dak blank, I admit it that Dak is starting

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: to impressed Jesse imp Okay, that's Jesse is relentless on

133
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Dak on Twitter. And here's the thing. I've come to

134
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the conclusion. I've come to a place in my life

135
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: where I just have to look at Dak and say,

136
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: he's not going to be Tom or Aaron or my

137
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: homes or like right, so I look for the Drew Brees.

138
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I look for that kind of complete game um, and

139
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: I just have to realize that's not who he is, Like,

140
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: that's not who he's going to be. And I have

141
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: to kind of almost change my my optics on how

142
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: I look at Dak and just say, you know what,

143
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, are we getting the dubs?

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: And for what he's done in this first three seasons,

145
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: he's produced the Dubs. Now, um, and you've heard Dak said,

146
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: this is where it matters in the playoffs, being able

147
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: to get your team to the next level. This is

148
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: where your legacy is built. This is where your your

149
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: your start, and this is where your name gets etched

150
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: with the greats. So he can come to the playoffs

151
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: and take this team to a place it hasn't been

152
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: in twenty three years, and that's, you know, a long time.

153
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Then you gotta respect the man for what he's doing.

154
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: But he's beginning to impress me a little bit. Yeah,

155
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, makes me smile, just know you're

156
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: coming around. He's got a soft chart. I was gonna say,

157
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, you brought up names like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees,

158
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: not my homes yet we haven't seen it. But if

159
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott can get this team to an NFC championship,

160
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: you've completely wiped away any Tony Romo, you know, kind

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: of hangovers that people have simply because there's no knock

162
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: on his player what he was able to do in

163
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: the seasons he was here, but he took this team

164
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: to somewhere that Tony Romo didn't somewhere that Jason Witten

165
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: couldn't if he gets when when he gets okay, when

166
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: he gets to the NFC championship. Yeah, I hate to

167
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: even compare like different eras, But what's amazing about what

168
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: you just said is that think about who Dak has

169
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: as his surrounding cast, and then think about who Tony Romeo.

170
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: That's hurtful to Jesse over here. No, I'm saying Tony

171
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: had it better. Oh yeah, when I'd say the offensive

172
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: line was better, Okay, that twenty fourteen year. Yeah, I mean,

173
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's what this whole offense was built around,

174
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: Tony being able to do whatever he wanted behind right,

175
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you that that team also had. Dak has

176
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: been clawbard non stop all years. Okay, I'll admit it.

177
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: I was worried Zeke blank, I'll admit it. I'll admit it.

178
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: I was worried that Zeke would find himself in some

179
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: more trouble. Oh. I mean that's mine too, that George. Yeah,

180
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: because I was gonna just say, I'll admit it, I

181
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: was worried Zeke wouldn't be as mature. Yeah, I will

182
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: have to say, Um, I thought that Deek would find

183
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: itself in in another piece of nonsense, another piece of

184
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: off the field issue that would be magnified, blown up. Now,

185
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: whatever side of the you stand on about what happened

186
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: with the suspension, there was more than enough stuff that

187
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: Zeke had done over and over and over that you

188
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: knew that it was gonna kind of build up. And

189
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: we know how Roger Goodell can be in that kind

190
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: of situation can be. But I'll admit it, I'll admit it.

191
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: I thought that Zeke would find himself in some more trouble.

192
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: But it's good to know and to see that what

193
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: he went through last year grew him. I mean yeah,

194
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: like you hear it in his tone, You hear it

195
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: in the way he speaks, You see it in his approach.

196
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: And I think what he went through last year, the

197
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: departure of Dez and departure of Jason Witten, it lended

198
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: for him to have to be a leader. Yeah, Like

199
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: it almost thrusted him in that position. Because now when

200
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: you look around, right, when you look around the locker room,

201
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: he said, all right, there's no eighty eight, there's no

202
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: eighty two. Well, who do we go to? Well, most

203
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: of the time, you always look to your best players,

204
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: and so just by position, the quarterback is quote unquote

205
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the leader by position. But then who's the next best player? Tank? Thank, Zeke.

206
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that you look for because you're

207
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: you're listen, we're following you, bro, like we're we go

208
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: as you go, as you eat, we eat you double spools.

209
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: You're you are feeding a family to feed. And so

210
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: it lended for Ezekiellett to have to kind of, you know,

211
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: either crap or get off the pot like, but he

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: stepped up and you see now the leadership and guys

213
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: are following him, and he's doing it the right way.

214
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: So that was my admitute, Yes, echo what you guys say.

215
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: I never thought we would see this, Zeke, this type

216
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: of Ezekiel Elliott. Never in a million years would have

217
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: guessed it. Yeah, And the thing about him, you know,

218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: I remember seeing it in his rookie year and his

219
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: I guess you could call it a sophomore year, I

220
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: hate second year or whatever, but I felt like when

221
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: he would have a bad play or he'd like get

222
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: down mentally, like you know, he'd be real mental about

223
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: any mistake he was making. And now you see it

224
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: and he's the guy in the sounds from the sideline

225
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: this week. Shout out Alex the league, Shout out all

226
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: the TV department who made that happen? Who's talking about

227
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: these grown ass men like, well, he became grown ass

228
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: man last year. And big shout out to the team

229
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: around Zeke. I don't know them personally. I don't know

230
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: who's cultivating this for him, but I do know there

231
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: was emphasis on making sure that he had proper development,

232
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: that he was not getting himself in trouble, that if

233
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: he was, they were you know, there were repercussions for this,

234
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see. I'll admit it. This was the biggest turnaround.

235
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: So this is the blank blank was the biggest turnaround?

236
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: You go first, Hey, I need ideas? Are we talking

237
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,479
Speaker 1: like biggest? I'll admit it. Linebackers were the biggest turnaround

238
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: for this team. Yeah, I think you haven't seen the

239
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: depth of this linebackers. The consistency, the ability to rotate

240
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: the way that they're doing linebackers. Shout out Jalen, Shout

241
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: out Layton. I mean, wow, offensive line was the biggest

242
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: turnaround mid season with exhibit just with the I mean

243
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: when when Stephen Jones comes out during the biweek and

244
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: says we fired someone because we wanted to provide a spark.

245
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: That says a lot. They have a revealing that there

246
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: was some unhappiness in the offensive line group and they

247
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: were I mean, it's hard to think back at the

248
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, but we talked about them week

249
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: to week like this is a problem, this is still

250
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: a problem, this is really getting to be a problem,

251
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: and there's still our problems. But that was I think

252
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: the biggest whoa week eight after the buye whoa. But

253
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: even if you look at the rushing attempts, like early

254
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: in the year, Zeke fifteen fifteen carries, fourteen carry fifteen

255
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: seventeen carries, sixteen carries, I mean, earlier in the season,

256
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting the bell cow low that we're seeing

257
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: him get out. And I think a lot of it

258
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: has to do with how they change things up and

259
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: wanted to become more physical, more violent, more, you know,

260
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: more of that bully mentality to assert themselves against the

261
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: defensive line. But to your point, Taylor, there were years three,

262
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: four or five years where we literally thought the defense

263
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: could not function without fifty on the field. No, we

264
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: didn't think that was right, absolutely right. It couldn't like

265
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: literally could not function if Sean Lee was not on

266
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: the field. And it was not even close. I mean

267
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: thirteen point deferential, yeah, when Shan Lee was playing too,

268
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: when he wasn't playing almost like eighty yards in rushing

269
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: deferential when Sean Lee, I'm sorry, total offense. When losses

270
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: hung on this there was like one going one in

271
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: six and now to a place where we're like keep

272
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: Jalen and keep late Vanderas on the field at all times.

273
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I know. And earlier this week, Des was at that

274
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: MAVs game that I was at and we were talking

275
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: and he says he still talks to Shun Lee even

276
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: though you know everyone thinks about what they see on

277
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: Twitter and all of that, and of course he did moments,

278
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: but you know, he was just basically talking talking about

279
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: how Shawn Lee loves the game of football so much

280
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: and so if anything, for this team to get to

281
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship, when they get to the NFC's Championship,

282
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I feel like, even though it's not probably panned out

283
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: as Shaun Lee thought it would this year, I think

284
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: that would mean more than anything to him because he

285
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: really has taken on that like teacher and student mentality

286
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: with these guys. And you really all the Cody Parky's kicker, Yeah, kicker,

287
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: Cody Parkey. You've seen him being praised for coming out

288
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: and speaking with the media after missing that kick so much,

289
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: going on the Today Show, this and that. Shaun Lee

290
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: like props to him. I mean, every comes out every week.

291
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: His locker is right next to Layton Vanderesh. There's a

292
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: huge crowd at Layton's locker and he's like, stands there,

293
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: answers every question and says, I'm just happy to have

294
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be a part of this. He could

295
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: have gone sour, I mean, just packing up what you're saying.

296
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I'll admit it. Coach Garrett surprised me

297
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: with blank I'll admit it. Scarrets nothing, I'll admit it.

298
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: Coach Garrett surprised me with keeping these guys motivated. But

299
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: he's always done that. He's always done that. But I

300
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: will tell you, I mean, I think this team believed

301
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: in themselves since training camp. They knew what they had.

302
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know that. I wasn't in the meetings, but

303
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: three and five and the embarrassing loss that they had

304
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Like some of those guys, they're young

305
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: enough where they could be like, dude, you're not my dad.

306
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: I get your message. You say the same thing every week,

307
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: not seeing the results. And I think that bye week

308
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: was such a change for this entire team. Even though

309
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: the loss came after the bye week, but they just

310
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: needed to see the results payoff. I think it started

311
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: with the offensive line. I think it started when they said, hey,

312
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: we realize we need a number one receiver in here.

313
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: So I think I'll admit it. Coach Garrett surprised me

314
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: with always keeping these guys motivated, you know that as

315
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: a player differently than I do. Yeah. For me, like

316
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: I've played under Coach Garrett and I've watched him over

317
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: the last you know, five six years, And if there's

318
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: one thing I give him a tremendous amount of credit

319
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: for is his ability to motivate, Like that's that's his

320
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: if if there's anything when Coach Garrett came into this league,

321
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: he was the Sean McVay. He was the Cliff Kingsbury

322
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: it guy. He was supposed to be the young, innovative

323
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: offensive guy. Back in two thousand and nine. That's why

324
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: that's why Jerry paid so much to keep him here

325
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: so he didn't go anywhere else. And through time, I

326
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: don't he hasn't evolved. He hasn't evolved with how the

327
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: game has changed, players have changed, schemes have changed, and

328
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: the way the NFL is playing football. But he's always

329
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: been able to motivate. He's always been able to motivate

330
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: when I played under him and when I've covered him

331
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: and watched him, he's always always always been able to motivate.

332
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: Guys always come ready to play, Guys always are it

333
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: seems that they're into the game and want to win.

334
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: But I think that's the one thing that's kind of

335
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: been just stagnant is that there hasn't been a change

336
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: in Jason Garrett. Yeah, Jason Garrett has surprised me. And

337
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: this one's not on the field. The dedication to having

338
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: split pea soup every Friday at the training table is

339
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: that's some insight. You know. You walk up to the

340
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: training table where the soup is. There's players, employees, we're

341
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: all excited, it's raining outside. What's the soup today? Split pea?

342
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: A huge pot of bright green. Everybody walks away. Nobody

343
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: in line was it there yesterday? But Jason Garrett likes

344
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: the split pea on Friday's dedication sticks to a routine

345
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: that is him. I'm blown away that you would keep

346
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: split pe in there every Friday, even though everyone hates

347
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: it about you, but claps for that. You can eat

348
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: is the man? You know what? Now? Side note, Now

349
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: they have two soups on Friday. Wow, that's nice because

350
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: they're like, we're wasting a lot of soup because you're

351
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: a whole pot of split speed by yourself. On a

352
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: real note, and it sucks because we only have like

353
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: six more minutes on this show, but at ten thirty

354
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: are hype video for this week will be coming out,

355
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: so get pumped up. That will be shortly followed by

356
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: our great show. But on a real note, and I

357
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: think I'm feel more comfortable because it's US three and

358
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: not Dave the Downer here. But thinking about last night,

359
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: I don't know when I remembered it, and I texted

360
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: Lindsay immediately, and I was like, Coach Garrett lost his

361
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: father like right before training camp, and like his dad

362
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: was like the only reason he got into coaching. He's

363
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: talked about that a million times. He works with his

364
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: brother Jed here like I don't I don't want to

365
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: even think about losing a parent, but if I did,

366
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: it would be very hard for me that first year.

367
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's very hard already as a football player

368
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: and a football season, because you're sacrificing so much time

369
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: with your family, You're sacrificing all the holidays, you're you know,

370
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: dedicating yourself to all of this. And he, you know,

371
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't know this for sure. I've never had a

372
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: conversation with him, but the grieving process is probably longer

373
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: than the time he was allowed before the season got rolling.

374
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 1: And just to think, like how neat it would be

375
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: for this to happen for this team, you know, on

376
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: a year where he's coming off that loss. I was

377
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: just thinking about that, you know. And he put the

378
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: respect on the sweatshirts this year. That was their word.

379
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: And that was because when he was standing in line

380
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: at his dad's you know, kind of like the night

381
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: before the funeral, everyone kept coming up to him and saying,

382
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: give my respects, give my respects, give my respects. And

383
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: he thought, you know, that meant so much. Of course,

384
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: he's also a big Yankees fan, but like just to

385
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: think how cool that would be for him. There's so

386
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: many little stories on this team, and that's where we

387
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: do the finish this fight series. But I mean that

388
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: was just one that I was like, Wow, you never

389
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: think about that because it's a personal thing, But yeah,

390
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: that's I mean Jesse. You know, as a player, sometimes

391
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: you just look at these guys as robots that are

392
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: supposed to go out there and hit people and win

393
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: and then go back and watch film and as soon

394
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: as you go into the locker room and start talking

395
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: to people, you're like, oh my gosh, that happened to you.

396
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you're a real baby too, right, you

397
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: don't sleep last night, Like these are real people, right,

398
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: And I mean you can add you can add to

399
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: that list with with Coach Garrett. You could add Michael

400
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: Gallop and its tragedy that he had to face. I mean,

401
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: there's storylines still Jalen Smith being able to come from

402
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: where he came from and it's doing what he's doing.

403
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: You know. Now they lost another brother in Alan hearns

404
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: with his horrific I mean, so there's storyline after storyline

405
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: and we don't and that's one of the things that

406
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: fans don't know. Like these people are human, Like they

407
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: go through the same stuff that you go to like

408
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: to go through, and people think, oh, will you make

409
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: a ton of money that makes it all right? It doesn't.

410
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: Haven't you heard? Like haven't we all heard? Money? Isn't

411
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: you know the answer to everything? Outside people on the outside,

412
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: they see your face and they think like, oh, well,

413
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: I can say this to you because you make a

414
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: lot of money. No, like, we imagine if someone did

415
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: that to you, Like really, what like we hurt like

416
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: we hurt like real people. We we have real people

417
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: emotions just because we play football or I should say,

418
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: well play football. And they're supposed to be these big

419
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: strong manmoth dudes. Oh man, they're emotional. They have feelings.

420
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: They go to the same exact issues that you go

421
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: to exactly exactly all right, five minutes left, Cowboys, Rams,

422
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm picking a dub. I say that because Sean mcvayh

423
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. They haven't proved it yet. This team, you know,

424
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: it has the shaky run defense that it does if

425
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: they can commit to running Zeke and just basically saying

426
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: like you cannot stop me even when you try to

427
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: stop me, because if you try to stop me, we

428
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: got a Marie Cooper over here. I keep to lead

429
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters. You guys know him, well, introduce yourselves again,

430
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: because he's coming down, so I'm picking it up. I

431
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: also wanted to see today. I sent a text to

432
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Darwin vander esh to see if they're bringing the bus down.

433
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: I just thought maybe they would. He said, no, we're

434
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: flying to this one. And he said, I have a

435
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: good feeling about this game because the wolf likes to

436
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: hunt sheep the Rams. He said, the wolf hunt is

437
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: on that wolf. He loves that wolf. What I think

438
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: is crazy is that and the Rams are kind of

439
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: downplaying it. But we go to training camp every year

440
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: and that thing is packed. I remember the preseason game

441
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: with the Rams. I mean, it is a Cowboys game.

442
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: It is a home game for no One. And I

443
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter this morning Charles Haley standing in the

444
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: DFW terminal in a jersey, handing out towels. Todd Archer

445
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: then tweeted that rowdy went into the cockpit of his airplane.

446
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: I mean Cowboys. I turned on the news at six am.

447
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: There is a live shot standing at love Field. People

448
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: going up and down in Cowboys Jerseys. I mean, Ella

449
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be passed. It is going to be I

450
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: don't think we're ready for what year at the Star

451
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: in Frisco. I guess we're competing for DFW fandom, right

452
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: because you guys are here doing your pregame show. Let's

453
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: just give them the options. Yeah, yeah, you got two options.

454
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: You got two options? All right, go ahead, Jess. Tomorrow,

455
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be at the Owner's Box at the Omni

456
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: Hotel downtown Dallas, and we're doing our pre end postgame

457

Speaker 1: show down there. So if you're in that part of town,

458
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: if you're down there, come a'm stop by, see Jesse.

459
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: If you're in Frisco. The first ever watch party, though,

460
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: like people don't realize how huge that is for the

461
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys in general. Like it hasn't been I don't think

462
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: it's been legally like allowed right Like now we are

463
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: actually broadcasting the game out here. We're doing our our

464
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: pregame show outside on the plaza. Yep, watch party. Bring

465
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: your cooler's chairs, get a drink, there's food across the street,

466
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: rain or shine. We will be out there nice all right.

467
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: Somehow I was thinking about, like my best ideas come

468
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: in the showers. So then I things about like two

469
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: days ago in the shower, Um, if the Cowboys win,

470
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: when can you change that to win? When the Cowboys

471
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? Yo, will the parade route be

472
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: in Dallas or Arlington? Got oh? Do you do it

473
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: in Dallas? Obviously? But they're the Dallas Mavericks right exactly,

474
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: and their stadium is there is in Dallas. Did you

475
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: do a parade route? I bet Jerry awards it to me,

476
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: don't you. I'm just saying because my thought process was, Man,

477
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: I know that Dallas downtown Dallas might make a better

478
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: scene for for a parade route Frisco. Right, But then

479
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, Jerry wants to showcase his We all

480
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: get the press release and it's like a three part parade.

481
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: The morning is Frisco, afternoon Dallas. Evening is. I could

482
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: totally see that Dallas would be set on fire the

483
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys won. This win the Cowboys, this city would burn down.

484
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what's what's would the route being? You

485
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: guys said it last week. I know we're getting a

486
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: cart before the horse a little bit. I love it.

487
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: Taylor is so superstitch when the Cowboys get the super Bowl.

488
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: You said it last week. It has to be their

489
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: chance one year, right, you're talking about twenty three years,

490
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: has at some point time right calling that dub tomorrow dub.

491
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The only thing to do. The only thing

492
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: that worries me is how healthy they are. Other than that,

493
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: I love that the Cowboys have been playing and have

494
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: the momentum. I love that Jesse's Jesse's about the rest,

495
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: which I totally get, but I love it. They haven't

496
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: missed a beat. They have not been lulled to sleep

497
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: at all. And for a young team, just keep a moving,

498
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: keep the blinders on. Oh there's a video for that. Focus,
