I'm finding 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:59.400 myself lacking at the individual show right now that maybe 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.960 I'm too close to it because cover the team, we 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.479 know what's going on. I just see storylines and I 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.919 can I get this storyliney i e. The two linebackers 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.839 Jaylen Smith and Laton Banderash. Okay Banderash. The team told 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.160 him we're not picking up your option. How does he 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.000 feel about that? I mean he can sit around here 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.320 tell me the media guy, but talk to the hard 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.080 knocks cameras. Jaylen Smith, here's a guy that is getting 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.760 beat up on the regular, who has an inspiring story, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.200 who was once a fan favorite that now people are like, man, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.919 we don't like this. Can we hear from Jalen juicy storyline? 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.839 Here's the guy with a whole bunch of brands and things. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.840 What's Jaylen gonna do after life? I mean, this is 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.839 an opportunity. I'm not seeing that. Can we can we 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.520 what about what about my my man Leo Collins? He 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.279 missed the whole season. Can we figure out how that 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.840 was for him? How he's looking looking forward to coming 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.719 back this year? Is the fact. But can we get 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.760 any of that? This is about the rest of the 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.280 d Bees. We our defense was horrible last year's new 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.080 we said we had a horrible defense. We got new safety, 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.080 new leader in the locker room. Can we hear from him? 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.520 We got a new we got we got new to 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.200 the team, he was with dan Quinn. Can we can 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.400 we hear about the change, like any of that? Can 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.160 we get that? Can we get a dan Quinn story? 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.120 Q Quinn? This how Quinn do? I'm like, oh, yeah, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.880 I think he's a good guy. You know, I'm I'm 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.479 I'm I'm rooting for the guy defense has been playing 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.800 a lot better. Can we see what he's what he 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.719 thinks he's bringing to the table, what the changes that 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.360 he's made. Can we see any of that? We haven't 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.640 seen any of it, or even just the career path. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.960 You're a head coach who went to a Super Bowl, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:48.000 who is what maybe twelve minutes away from winning the thing, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.280 and now you're an assistant coach trying to be a 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.560 head coach? What what's what is the path? What is 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.599 you know? I'd like to know that about dan Quinn. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.920 I don't. I don't know anything about the head coach really, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.919 other than a little bit that they showed his parents 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.360 and can't Ohio and talked about him, you know, growing 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.960 up in Pittsburgh. But I talked to Rich Downing Pull 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.360 and Rich is like, hey man, he grew up in 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.960 a bar, you know, in Pittsburgh and you know tough guys. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.760 So you know, I know, I get to know more 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.559 about McCarthy and my conversations with Rich than with all 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.760 those cameras with Hard Knocks. That's true. Can you open 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.960 this thing up? And you were saying before, how many 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.840 times do we watched Hard Knocks? And you get to 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.920 know more about these guys and you get to know 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.320 about their families. I mean John Grewden, you know the 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.200 opening we saw that with John Grewd. You saw a 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.280 whole bunch of Rex Ryan when he was with the Jets, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.800 and Bruce Ayns. I just don't know. Now, maybe Mike 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.800 McCarthy doesn't want that. Maybe he said, man, I know, 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.760 you guys find stories other places, but I just feel 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.280 like I'm watching Hard Knocks and I don't feel like 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.160 I know the head coach very much. That's true. Yeah, 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.640 I will say this about about the Hard Knocks, And 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.360 we talked about this last time. He wanted to get 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.320 on it. They showed a little bit more of the 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.920 guys at the bottom of the roster, the guys that 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.920 are fighting and scratching, and Clone we got a chance 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.760 to see. I don't want to kill his name we're sixty. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:11.880 Don't want to kill his last name, Alco. We saw 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.240 his you know, his bat on, how his family, um, 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.880 you know, Mexican, Mexican guys coming over here and and 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.800 providing a better life. I mean it was there were 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.480 some things that were awesome with it. You know that 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.840 drone footage coming in at the beginning. I was gonna 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.480 say that it was a little awkward. That was you 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.880 didn't like that, you loved it. I loved it, But 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.480 it got like really quiet for a long time, and 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:36.600 I was like, somebody say, where is it gonna stop? 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.160 It was a good shot, yeah, but he like stopped 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.679 talking like like a thirty second into the drone. It 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.920 was just like it was just being all just being all, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.400 all right, great, great, because this is this is the 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.439 kind of the photographer view of it. Then I'm thinking, 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.840 I ain't going to he's talking. Then he's he's just 0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:01.359 gonna lay out to allow you to use your vivid imagination, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.720 and you kind of all right, here's what am I seeing. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:08.319 Another issue is you know this place, Danny, You're here 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.520 all the time, you know where they went? You Oh yeah, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.160 you knew it. I knew it. But if you're somebody 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.319 in Iowa never seen it. You could be somebody who's 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:23.079 you know, right down here in downtown Dallas. You've never 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.400 been up here, You've never seen all that. So to me, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.240 that's why I like the drone footage, just like this 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.920 is pretty cool, especially so people don't know it, but 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.440 you and I we know when they went into the 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.280 practice field and you wanted to the weight room, I 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.440 hadn't seen that much of the weight room. I've seen 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.280 it from I see it walking by, but you know, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:38.640 they don't let us, so we're in there. You guys 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.360 have been the I was interested to go in the 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.960 weight room with it. Would I'd rather see the stuff 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.000 that we just talked about that we wanted to see 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.040 it the drone shot because at this point, I'm like, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.280 like we even want the show went off last night. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.280 I was like they got to have another clip like 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.440 of something to show us, right, they got to have 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.240 another something like I'm like free every time I see 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.319 some time like that where it's like, I'm like, I 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.960 would rather see you talk to you, see Mark Cooper, 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.760 Jaylen Smith for a late Vander I would I would 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.600 rather see that than this, right, So that's that's just mine, right. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.560 So every week I go into it is like I'm 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.120 hoping to see more of what we talk about the 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.079 guys at the end of the roster. Maybe go see 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.920 the coach's home, maybe go see you know X y Z. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.199 And then when I don't, I'm just like bro, I 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.880 could do without it. I will say it is though, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.840 how much sauce does Jerry Jones had. I mean circle, 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.480 he ain't comeing in on a helicopter. Pilot circled this 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.959 building real quick. And you see this, Stephen, Yeah, it 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.080 looks even better now, and then when we first heard 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.800 that it did twelve years ago. I mean, looks good. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.120 I'm rich talk about the American dream. I wish they 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.600 just went ahead and show the boat. Though, I want 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.400 to see the boat. I would see that, not a boat. Yeah, 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.240 apartment on the wall. He probably got like six boats 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.800 on the yacht, but I would see that though Jerry 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.880 Junior got a boat. Okay, Stephen and Charlotte, they have boats. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:06.200 It's not like it's over like Little Stone guys. It's okay. Listen, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.920 they could have got a drone shot. You know, they 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:13.640 got here somewhere they couldn't take. It's hard not to 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.920 take They could have went down to Florida over there 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.880 on Biscayne Bay and saw the yacht Mickey Harrison they 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.880 got from the Super Bowl last I mean, they could 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.400 have went on the France and got that thing. It 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.480 was in Alaska last year, so yeah, I mean they 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.559 could have could have went and broke it off and 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.400 so um or maybe they just took the family trip 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.480 was in Alaska, but they'd take the yacht. But the anyway, 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.200 the yachts, the yat is around as well. I mean, 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.040 I'm gonna lie. I sat there, I was like, it's 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.400 good to be him, bro, It's good. It's good to 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.360 be a boy. I like the shot. Remember we came 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.520 down to the elevator and it was that stunt shot, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:53.800 like the camera wasn't middle middle, he wats through the cowboy. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:12:00.280 It was like, I like that got brothers. I'm just 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.080 trying to be like you man, you got it, you 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.280 got it your world. I'm telling you too, man, you too, 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.040 you too can be like this. I'll work hard, work hard, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.880 sign work hard, Sonny man. Yes, and you know, but 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.120 but they shoot it. Here's the thing. They shoot it, 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:22.559 and the waited. You weren't mad, you know, just salute, salute. Listen. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.000 I ain't mad. I liked I like watching Jared. I 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.720 think Jars he's hilarious. He was he was upset with 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.520 with with having to go back and pick up Steven. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.760 I thought that was funny. I thought the way that 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.880 he said it, yes, was just f up. The whole day, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.760 just the whole thing. You know, we started this, how 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.240 the day gonna start? The whole day gonna be up. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.360 I thought it was funny. He always comes with some 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.880 type of old school saying, and it's like, oh, man, Jared, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.400 Jared's funny. I love seeing Jared. I like that. I 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.040 like that part of the show. I thought it was good. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.920 One part that I am very tired of is this 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.400 whole ben to Nucci. I mean, come to my church's 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.839 got I'm sorry, Yeah, we're far too many shots and things. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.080 I remember He's like, you know, it feels like what 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:07.880 are the nights? Oh? Okay what I couldn't believe. But 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.280 I couldn't believe. And I text y'all this the other day, man, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.760 man after my man's God throws that ball in the 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.200 middle of the fielding behind the receiver, at that receiver 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:18.880 or the safety picks it off, takes it all the 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.160 way to the house. A man had the audacity to 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.720 get up what what? How was that in the spected 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.080 you knew, you knew he was looking for somebody to 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.559 blame it on. Oh yeah, you knew. That's that's that's 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.960 that's that's rest. And as soon as he got to 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.559 the sideline of coaching and went to NAD, I was 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:39.720 by that was behind n No, that was but no, 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.439 he was the first of three, by the way. And 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.320 you had to feel bad for the kid, because I 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.559 mean it was just like one pick oh, pick six oh, 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.680 another and the second pick I think was the worst 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.480 of them all because the last one, I was like, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:50.920 hey man, he just trying to throw it up there. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.679 Three people had a shot at it. None of them had. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.400 None of them had to star on their names or 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.280 on star on her helmet. And then that. But that 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.320 second one in the flat was that the flat he 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:04.480 just like and had. The dude was way inside it. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.719 It was no way it was getting there. But the 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.839 church has got him. Like I said, I'm gonna go 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.560 back to I remember last year he was saying, Man, 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.360 this is gonna be the dude. The new tie is 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.880 going to be the guy to carry us to the playoffs, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.440 of his athletic ability. They hyped it. Now, they had 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.080 you calling him the red pistol, calling us and the 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.640 doctor m pistol because you was so confident that the 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.480 new is gonna be the guy and think, man, hey, 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.680 things changed very quickly, Church, very quickly, they changed very 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.600 Will he be here next week to throw? To do? 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:38.560 What to throw it again? He done? He's done on Monday. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.760 He's done. He done because they need him. And then 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.000 he's done on Monday. You know how to go practice? 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:54.040 Squid No for why for what? Maybe he needs more development? 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.000 What type of look is he gonna give our defense? 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.200 Speaking of our defense, becudness, gracious, we talked about third down. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.800 I tell you Joe Witt had them boys. Listen, I'm 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.480 just listen. Dan Quinn had Joe was calling. Joe Witt 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.880 was calling the calling the game. Those are dan Quinn's plays, 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.200 and dan Quinn has turned this defense around. What was 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.040 the what were the third down stats? Now, let me 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.920 let me, let me let me step in here. Yeah, 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.160 I said here to me, this is the positive of 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.200 what leadership is about. Dan Quinn has to lead the 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.160 stadium because of COVID. All right, Joe, you your defense, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.680 you call it and they're still getting it done. That 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.680 is leadership. And also when we talked about and I said, man, 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.160 if you going, you bring dan Quinn here, let him 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.200 bring his people. That's true. He knew what to do, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.240 knew what the cup boom, and there was no fall off. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.880 And so that that right, there is a positive leadership 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.080 trait that when you leave, they can still run things 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.280 and everything is all right. I look, I go back 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.360 to Bill Walsh, and Bill Walsh left the forty nineties 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:57.760 everytime they want to Super Bowl next year, And to 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.640 George Seyffer, they were able to keep it rolling and 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.600 keep it going because they had a system in place 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.520 about what it is they wanted to do and everyone 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.680 had bought in and knew what, knew where to go. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.600 And to me, that's what an outstanding job about Joe. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.400 And look, okay, let's just let's just say you're right, 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.960 Danny McCrae that this defense is a top ten defense. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.240 If this is a top ten defense and the Cowboys 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.080 find themselves in the playoffs, dan Quinn is going to 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.960 get a whole lot of accolades and credit that that's 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.520 how it goes, which means he could most likely get 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.160 a job because we will probably see five jobs open. 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.560 It happens every years. Good five jobs are gonna open up. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.640 So maybe Dan Quinn re enters um the NFL as 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:40.520 a head coach. If he goes, you would love to 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.600 have Joe be the guy to feel if you're the 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.080 right him, and that unless Dan takes him. But you 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.640 know what, here's if it's one thing we know, if 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.520 Jerry could convince Callen don't go and write a Jerry 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.040 write a chet Oh yeah, I mean we all know 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.240 people here in the building where Jerry has told him 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.000 come back to me. Don't don't let money be don't 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.440 let money be the reason you left. I can tell 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.320 you personally several people were like, hey, Jerry something, Okay, fine, fine, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.399 that was that what they're paying? If I pay you this, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.719 you're gonna stay. Yeah, he'll write the check. So so 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.000 that's the beauty of Jerry that people don't talk about 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.399 enough of. And here there's no salary cap for for employees, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.240 and so you know, if he wants to keep you here, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.679 he'll write that. I mean, do you just look at 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.720 what he did with Sean Payton, Al David says, here's 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.800 a head coaching job of the Oklad Raiders, and Jerry's like, okay, um, 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.120 I'm gonna give you a million dollars. At the time, 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.600 he's making by half. And then Mo Carthon at the 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.680 time was the assistant head coach and here coach make 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:44.320 him over a whole lot. I mean a whole lot. 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.520 But that's what Jerry wanted. He wanted to write that 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.120 check to keep him here. Mike Zimmer Nebraska offers him 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.080 a head coaching job. Now I want you. He wrote 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.840 that check. Kellen Moore, boys stay, they're talking here. He 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.439 wrote a check. So if if Dan Quinn becomes a 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.480 head coach and he wants to take Joe, Joe, Joe 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.600 to be his DC jerk and right chet real quick 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.119 and just say hey man, we need you here, we 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.920 need you here, and he'll stay. And if you're Joe, 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.679 what do you know about the Cowboys. You're going to 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.480 get publicity. You're going to be on NBC Sunday and 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.280 it TV three times. That's the maximum. You're gonna be 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.159 on Monday Night Football. You're going to be on Thursday 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.200 Night Football. You're going to be on a Thanksgiving game, 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.320 you're gonna so the opportunity for you to shop your 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.760 wares is going to be out there. You're gonna have 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.000 a minimum of at least five nationally televised game, no 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.399 matter what the record was beforehand. I mean, like we 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.240 remember when I went to Jacksonville, we went to an 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.880 ANC championship. The next year we had zero national zero 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.760 Cowboys don't even make the playoffs. They came back six 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.000 national televised games. So you're always going to have that 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.320 opportunity as an assistant coach, especially as a DC. If 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.159 if if, like if we were saying what happened, like 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.639 Dan Quinn moves on, Joe Joe Witt moves up to 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.600 the day, you're gonna have those opportunities to go to 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.359 the next level. Now do we think they're gonna be 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.480 a top ten? I'm just sitting back because I don't know, 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.199 because I'm not ready to say that. I listen, listen, 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.199 come on man. And yeah, and they went out there 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.320 and they did what they were supposed to do, which 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:12.159 is murdered them on defense. All right, then what was 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.960 the third listen, whatever coming they were open ten on 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.120 third down, didn't have they had a turn on bone down. 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:22.359 They stopped to move forth and we had three picks. 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.680 I mean what one of them? Two of them were 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:28.240 in our own territory. Bro that what's the one on 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.560 the ones? It don't matter this is but top but 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.320 top to bottom though, Yeah, the ones got scored on. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:38.280 They turned the ball over like the twenty five. Yeah 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.760 was in the ten this dude, that was that the 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.199 only time mark ingram You know what, man Litten think 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.240 they listening? If you, if you, if you, if that's listen, 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.480 that's how you want to fight it because because I know, 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.879 I know you still have a little sting from the 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.840 kool aid, from the kool aid that you were simple. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.119 Still the same thing, The same thing with NEWI. I 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.840 didn't take that cool. I didn't drink it didn't have 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.840 enough sugar in it for me, So it was not 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.800 it was not my cup of tea. But I'm telling y'all, 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.679 since we've said this, I said dan Quinn was coming in. 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.119 He came in. Now I'm saying dan Quinn's going to 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.520 turn this defense around. Knew he was in training camp 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.080 and NEWI said, I'm telling you one thing. They look different. 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.960 They're making some plays I would say that they're out 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.639 out playing the offense in Oxnard to this point. And 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.280 then we watched them go out there and had go 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.760 over ten on third day. When the last time, when 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.760 is the last time you have seen a defense for 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.840 somebody to go over ten on third twenty seventeen, Jacksonville, 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:40.600 Jack How good? How good? Was that defense? Was number 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.359 one defense in the intellection? Number one the last Thank you, Barry, 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.640 We're gonna see, we're gonna see mister Tom got coming. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.240
