00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: little late beside, but no, for now, we're just gonna

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: kind of touch on this Cowboys team.

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: What's at Steak now? Heading into Miami? Of course, the

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 4: Eagles took a loss yesterday. I saw you said, what

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 4: did you say?

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Fly?

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 5: Seawks Fly? Thank you, Petty. I don't care.

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 6: I loved I loved every second of it. I bet

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 6: it was a fantastic game to watch the very end.

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 6: We needed it this week, right like we needed some zen.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 6: That was the zen was watching Philly take a big

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 6: l on Monday night.

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: But we cannot keep hoping for losses from Philly.

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: We got to keep handling business. They got to take

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: care of business this week, next week against Detroit, then

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: the following week against Washington. But no, just with that

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: loss seeing the Eagles, now they're tied at ten to

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 3: four overall record, but the Cowboys still hold the top

32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: spot of the division.

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: Just how big of an impact is that game?

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: But how much more do you want to see from

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: the Cowboys heading into Miami?

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, yeah, we got a big test

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 7: up ahead playing an AFC team. It balanced out a

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 7: little bit with the lost to Buffalo and then Philly

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 7: los into an NFC team. Cowboys beat Seattle head to head,

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 7: so that kind of even stands out. It's gonna come

41
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 7: down to I think tiebreakers and strengthen schedule if I'm

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 7: understanding correctly. So to your point to code, they just

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 7: got to take care of business. But I did I

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 7: did see something I do I want to ask y'all

45
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 7: they I think I saw that if Dallas and Philly

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 7: both lose a game, Dallas, Dallas gets the wins the

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 7: division or something like that.

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: So Dallas has to they can lose either Miami or Detroit,

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 3: they have to win against Washington if in the Philly

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: and the Eagles have to lose one more game out

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: of the next three that they have.

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 8: Interesting.

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I prefer obviously like an NFC game, which two

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 6: of which are NFC East against the Giants, and so preferably, Yes,

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 6: you need the Cowboys to win out regardless, just to

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 6: help their chances and to help boost the morale. I

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 6: think Sunday's game obviously going to take a hit on

58
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 6: that a little bit. And now that we've had time

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 6: to sit and process and kind of watch what happens

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 6: come December football to other teams, Yes, it's it really

61
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 6: comes down to the wire, and so the NFC continues

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 6: to come down to the wire as far as playoff seating.

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 6: But shout out to the Seahawks really helping that Cowboys out.

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I appreciate it.

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 7: It was really dope to see Drew Locke and his

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 7: story and his that interview was saying, yeah, that that

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 7: interview is one of the best I've seen.

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 8: He seems so grateful and it was a yeah, it

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 8: was it was dope. When they got the ball.

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 7: I know me personally, I was like, they've about to

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 7: go score bro and DK Metcalf was just so huge

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 7: in that drive. I mean, wait for them to put

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 7: together a drive. I think their season is still going now.

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 7: They're playing for their life to some extent too, So

75
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 7: good for them and thank you.

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: That's not who I strate.

77
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 5: Losses for the Eagles are three three three.

78
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 8: They're reeling.

79
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: Do y'all think that Jalen hurts his plays die progressing,

80
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: or do y'all think it's just this team as a whole.

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 6: What I think is going on is is And this

82
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 6: is based off his postgame interview, which I'm sure we've

83
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 6: all seen and we've heard. That's very uncharacteristic of Jalen

84
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 6: Hurts to come out and kind of talk about his

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 6: team in that way. But that tells you that there's

86
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 6: turmoil going on behind the scenes, not just what you

87
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 6: see on the field, And so obviously I think that

88
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 6: has a bit of a domino effect with what you're

89
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 6: seeing on the field. There's frustrations, there's concerns, and it's

90
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 6: not getting any better.

91
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: They're not winning.

92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 6: Out of those frustrations and concerns. And so to be

93
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts. I mean, it's kind of playing hero ball

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 6: right now. And we've talked about this a lot, just

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 6: going back to last season, how that can definitely impact

96
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 6: what a quarterback is doing when he feels like he

97
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 6: has to be the guy with every single thing that

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 6: he's doing, chasing the big plays. And so I don't

99
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: necessarily think it's just Jalen Hurts. Is a whole team

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 6: effort at this point, a lot going on in Philly,

101
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: but he he gets the brunt of it, like that's

102
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 6: just the nature and the extent of being in that

103
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 6: quarterback position. He is getting the brunt of it. It's

104
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 6: just interesting to see how the cards have fallen come

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 6: the last three weeks of the season for them.

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean defensively, they have a lot of trouble

107
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 7: over there, and their secondary and teams are starting to

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 7: be able to run the ball and move the ball

109
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 7: effectively on them. And you see the DC change they

110
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 7: switch to match Patricia told mister decide to sit down

111
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 7: some word for a second. And then obviously offensively they

112
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 7: miss Shane Stichen. He's doing some really good things up

113
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 7: there with the Colts, and I just you're kind of

114
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 7: seeing the impact of losing your OC, especially with a

115
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 7: young quarterback that's still developing and figuring things out. I

116
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 7: don't think that the route concepts and some of the

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 7: stuff they run.

118
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 8: Are really helping out either.

119
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 7: And then they don't run the ball consistently enough, which

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 7: is weird because DeAndre Swift can play some good football.

121
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 7: So I just think they're having some you said it

122
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 7: the other week, they having some identity crisis a bit

123
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 7: over there. So it's like, I quite frankly, I don't care.

124
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 8: Nobody cared.

125
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 7: Nobody cared when Dallas had guys down and stuff like that,

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 7: and they had their own issues. So for me, I'm

127
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 7: just like curious on how they adjust. But even if

128
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 7: they get first, even if they do get the first place,

129
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 7: how comfortable do they feel about being able to maintain

130
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 7: it or to sustain having first place or that they

131
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 7: can that buy would help them, But.

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 8: Maybe they might be the only one they get, yeah,

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 8: because they ain't playing.

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: I mean, if the season were to end today, you

135
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: have the forty nine ers that are in first place,

136
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: Dallas and second, Detroit third, Tampa Bay fourth, sorry my fingers,

137
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: Philly fifth, Minnesota sixth, and then the Rams seventh round

138
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: sneaky sneakyyally put stuff together.

139
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 7: Whoever sees them in the first round, I think they're

140
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 7: gonna have their hands full a little bit there. They're

141
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 7: show they're showing some fight towards the end of the season.

142
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 7: Sean mc out there, got those those guys playing hard

143
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 7: for them.

144
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now we have a road test for the Cowboys,

145
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 3: and well we'll be breaking down this game over the

146
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: next two days. But just real quick, I know McCarthy

147
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: had said that, you know, you cannot be a great

148
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: team heading into playoff football sitting at under five hundred

149
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: in road games, and so that's something that's obviously a

150
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 3: sense of urgency for this team.

151
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: So how much would a win on Sunday just play

152
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: a part?

153
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: And like you said, they're morale, they're confidence heading into

154
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

155
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: So you look at the next week, three weeks and

156
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 6: who exactly the Cowboys have to play.

157
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: So we just talked about it.

158
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 6: You have the Dolphins, the Lions at home, and then

159
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: the Commander's on the road. Of those three teams, the

160
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 6: Dolphins are going to give you your best matchup and

161
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 6: so I think that's kind of the biggest game going forward,

162
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 6: and it's your biggest chance to prove not only to

163
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 6: yourself but the outside narrative that road wins can be

164
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 6: possible for this team at the best time that you

165
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 6: need to do that to yourself going into the playoffs,

166
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 6: where now more than likely you're going to be on

167
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 6: the road. And we talked about this yesterday. I mean,

168
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 6: the cards are falling. You know, a lot can happen

169
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 6: in the next couple of weeks, but more than likely

170
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 6: the Cowboys will have to play on the road come

171
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 6: playoff time and to be able to boost that morale

172
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 6: and that confidence within themselves, get rid of that frustration

173
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 6: and get just that thought out of their head of

174
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: why are we struggling to win at home? It's something

175
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 6: that naturally is going to start eating at you as

176
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 6: a human. I mean that that's just part of how

177
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 6: your brain works, right. Something happens over and over and

178
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 6: over and over again. You start to wonder why, what's

179
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 6: going on? So what's interesting about this Dolphins team? I

180
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 6: talked about it this morning on the podcast they did

181
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 6: with work with Adam Beasley, who's a Dolphins reporter for PFN.

182
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 6: Look at what the Dolphins are dealing with. It's a

183
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 6: very similar situation of what the Cowboys are dealing with

184
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 6: right now, and they have all season. These two teams

185
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 6: are pretty much in the same boat, having the same

186
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 6: issues self inflicted wounds. I think the Dolphins are dealing

187
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: with a little bit more stuff injury wise, but a

188
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 6: struggling O line. It's what the Dolphins are doing with

189
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 6: right now. So their moo is really going to be

190
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 6: who can come out of the gates fast, who can

191
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 6: make sure that they win this game, because they both

192
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 6: need this win to go forward and boost their morale

193
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 6: go come playoff time. So to answer your question, I

194
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 6: really just think when it comes down to winning on

195
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 6: the road, it's it's a morale thing. It's a confidence

196
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 6: thing and some mental thing. Get it out of your head,

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 6: get it out of your system. Go beat a good

198
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 6: team and get it done. It's end the season on

199
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 6: a high note with it, so that way you can

200
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 6: go into the playoffs and you feel high about it

201
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 6: and you know you can do it.

202
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, it only takes one.

203
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 7: It only takes one in football for you to be

204
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 7: like okay, like this is to hold on to and

205
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 7: to hold on to the fact that Okay, we can

206
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 7: do this as far as winning on the road, and

207
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 7: then also too, I think it's important that they win

208
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 7: this week and then they can have something routine.

209
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 8: So maybe a change they made this week, something to.

210
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 7: Hold on to that they can carry into the rest

211
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 7: of the season and then into the playoffs that they

212
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 7: maybe adjusted and did well and they benefited from. Right now,

213
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 7: I don't know if they have anything to hold their

214
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 7: hat on as far as preparation for road games, because

215
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 7: to your point, it hasn't worked out in their favor

216
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 7: at this point. So also too, when you talk about

217
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 7: you mentioned there off Miami's offensive line, I think that's

218
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 7: gonna be a big part of the game. But this

219
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 7: is another coach from the Shanahan tree, and I think

220
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 7: that's important. A lot of the stuff they do in

221
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 7: the passing game and conceptually they can run the ball,

222
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 7: a chain.

223
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 8: Is a dog.

224
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 7: This defense will get a good test of run and pass.

225
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 7: And I do think a lot of the things that

226
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 7: they do, the crossers and all that stuff is similar

227
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 7: to some of the things the forty nine ers do

228
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 7: and it's going to give you a good test again

229
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 7: against the defense that can be multiple and try different

230
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 7: things to get you off kilter. So to just this point,

231
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 7: it is a good test and it's important that they

232
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 7: go out there and win this game.

233
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 8: It's important that they go out there and winness game.

234
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: Something that we had CJ Goodwin on Cowboys Hour yesterday

235
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: and he had mentioned that he felt in his eyes

236
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: because he was there at the game on the sidelines,

237
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: that when the guys found out that they had already

238
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: clinched a playoff spot, they kind of had this like

239
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: ease of mind type of thing or mentality, and he

240
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,479
Speaker 3: feels like that's.

241
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 4: Kind of what went into what happened in Buffalo.

242
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: And he wasn't saying it in like a bad way. Well,

243
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: he wasn't saying it like yeah, he wasn't saying it

244
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: in a bad way. He was just saying that, you know,

245
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, they just went out a

246
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: little bit too loose and that kind of trickled down

247
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: into what happened.

248
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 7: So they did because they said, that's what he said.

249
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 7: Coach McCarthy said that they didn't.

250
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: I'm just going by what I was told, what he

251
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: had told us. You know, he said that they knew this.

252
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I'm just letting what happened on Cowboys

253
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: Hour yesterday.

254
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: You can go back and listen.

255
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm listening to the episode from yesterday if y'all want

256
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: to go back and listen to it. But that's what

257
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: he said. He said that, I mean, everybody has their phones.

258
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: They found out before the game that they had found

259
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: out about the playoffs.

260
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

261
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: But but regardless, I think that now that that's kind

262
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: of happened, we have already clinched that playoff spot.

263
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: I feel like now they can go in and just

264
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: kind of have.

265
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: That ease of mind, like you mentioned yesterday, it'll be easier,

266
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: you know, with that type of stakes.

267
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 6: I also think too, from talking to the guys in

268
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 6: the locker room before the game, they weren't just happy

269
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 6: with clinching a playoff spot. So you know, from what

270
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 6: I heard and talked to multiple guys about, is they

271
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 6: want the number one seed. So it's not like they're

272
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 6: clinching the spot, you know, in the postseason.

273
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: Then letting off the gas been like, oh, whatever happens happened.

274
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 6: And that was the vibe I got in the locker

275
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 6: room is they said, look, even if we clinched the spot,

276
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,239
Speaker 6: because at that point.

277
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 5: There was like eight different scenarios.

278
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: That could happen even before the Cowboys played, and that's

279
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: what ended up playing out. But they still want to

280
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 6: fight for that number one seed all the so now

281
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 6: with the loss, it's very very very unlikely they're not

282
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 6: just going to let up because now at least at

283
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 6: this point, you can still be in contention for at

284
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 6: least staying at the top of the NFC East, depending

285
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 6: on what Philly does, how things work out there.

286
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: But all you need to worry about now is winning

287
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 5: win out.

288
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: The rest of your season ended on a high note

289
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 6: and get this horrible taste out of your mouth from

290
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 6: this loss, because at this point it's just going to

291
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 6: be very interesting to see. You saw the response post

292
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 6: forty nine ers in week six, I believe, and look

293
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 6: what happened from that point.

294
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 7: I was really a lot from those pens, and we're

295
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 7: looking for a response mostly this time.

296
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, from the defense.

297
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, So to put the ball in their court.

298
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: And I know that's such a weird analogy because we're

299
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 6: talking about football, not basketball, but to put the ball

300
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 6: in their court of how you're responding is going to

301
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 6: be vital and huge. To tell you what kind of

302
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 6: unit you're really working with in this team. And so yeah,

303
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 6: like you said, the offense stepped up, corrected their mistakes,

304
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 6: figured it out. This is really on the defense now,

305
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 6: and I think special teams needs need to do a

306
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 6: little reflecting as well going into the next few weeks.

307
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: Put the ball in their field, baby in there.

308
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, balls in their field.

309
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: Guys trying, you know what I mean?

310
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Guys.

311
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: I was trying.

312
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 7: All right.

313
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 5: I appreciate it, really, I appreciate it.

314
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: Really. Go ahead and take our first break.

315
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: You're watching Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw, the

316
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: preferred dating partner, the Dallas Cowboy.

322
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,640

323
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 9: every bite of lettus, every sesame seed on the butt,

324
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 9: and every sip of that crisp refreshing ice cold coola

325
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 9: a journey to footopia. Burgers better with pepsi. That's what

00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: We're not gonna dwell on the Bills game too much,

356
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: but just how's the mentality with the team now that

357
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: you're kind of turning the page at this point.

358
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean, guys are definitely still determined. I mean, it's

359
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: always part of sport. You know. Obviously, you know you're

360
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: gonna have those days where you don't get that result

361
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: that you want. But you know, we got a great

362
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: season still ahead of us, and you know you got

363
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: to look to the Dolphins and just just handle business there,

364
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: I feel like. But definitely something great to learn from.

365
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, adversity always helps people grow, so definitely something

366
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: great to go through. For sure.

367
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 4: What was something that you learned out of this game?

368
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean, just to stay in it, Like I mean,

369
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: that's one of the toughest things, you know, when things

370
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: are going your way and you know you're fighting from behind,

371
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: which is something that you know you can apply from

372
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: any level of your football journey, you know, high school,

373
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: college is to just stay in it, like keep on,

374
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, forging forward to win, you know, and when

375
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: you don't get the result that you want, don't shut down,

376
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, don't point fingers, you know, don't look for

377
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: anybody to blame. You know, look at yourself and you know,

378
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: say what can I have done better? You know, you

379
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: know what could I have done to you know, affect

380
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: this result? You know, how can I move forward in

381
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: the future to ensure that you know, we don't got

382
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: to feel that way again, you know.

383
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got Pastor Tyler.

384
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I like bars today.

385
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 7: Okay, okay. So one of the other gentlemen that's on

386
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 7: one of the other podcasts, he mentioned that he heard

387
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 7: Mike Salari the day after just still hype, like like excited.

388
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 8: New offensive line coach new Field.

389
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 7: I'm assuming keep talk to us a little bit about

390
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 7: Mike Salari and just kind of what he's brought to

391
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 7: this room. And because it's seen improvement for you from

392
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 7: you too, I just want to hear.

393
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 8: Your thoughts on him.

394
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: So like Mike, h I mean, best way to describing

395
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: is just energy, energy, energy, Like he brought a he

396
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: brought a whole different feel to the O line room.

397
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: I feel like he's probably like the way he coaches,

398
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: like the way he keeps everybody involved is probably one

399
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: of the most dynamic things I've been a part of

400
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: in the room, because you know, when you're when you

401
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: are absorbing so much information and it's being told to

402
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: you in the same way day and day again, like

403
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: it can get kind of monotonous at times, and at least,

404
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: like I can definitely say the way coach Philman used

405
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: to kind of talk to us, like you kind of

406
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: be in there and you're listening this great information, Like

407
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: the quality information is the same, but the way he's

408
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: conveying it to you, like Mike Salat, Like Mike he'll

409
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: just where he's slamming on the table and yelling going

410
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: like hey hey, like making sure like we're involved, like

411
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: and like it's just so different. But like you know,

412
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: he always he's great about writing stuff on the board,

413
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: always having our reminders, like such an energetic guy, like

414
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: I could tell, like, you know, just you know, one

415
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: of those quintessential like great dad guys. I'm like, you know,

416
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: this guy is a great dad. Like when I just

417
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: hear the way he talks to us, Like when I

418
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: see some of the stuff he does. I'm like, man,

419
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: it's funny, but like it really does have a purpose,

420
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: and I felt like it has kind of changed the

421
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: energy at a room for sure. Like it's a big

422
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: difference from last year.

423
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 8: Thank you.

424
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

425
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 6: So it's so funny because the second year players on

426
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 6: this team, I think holds such a special place in

427
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 6: my heart because it was our rookie season last year too,

428
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: so we were kind of learning the ropes together, getting

429
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 6: in the scrum together. And I remember last year you

430
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 6: and I had talked, and I just relate so much

431
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 6: because I feel like this year there's just a different

432
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: confidence when I talk to you, even in the locker

433
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 6: room talking you now, it feels like your shoulders are up,

434
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: just very confident and your two jump is a term

435
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: were using football all the time. But tell us about

436
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 6: what the year two jump really meant for you coming

437
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 6: out of your rookie season going into this year.

438
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like after the first season at

439
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: least like a huge understanding what's kind of game for

440
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: me in terms of just like you know, how wul

441
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: of NFL season really be, Like what are some of

442
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: the things you're going to go through during the NFL season,

443
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, how will your body feel, how will your

444
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: mind be like throughout the year and stuff like that,

445
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: and so like I feel like for any rookie who's

446
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: coming up, for anybody who's coming to a new job,

447
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: a new space, meeting new people, like there's some anxiety

448
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: that goes along with that, Like you're kind of anxious

449
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: cause you're like, man, like you know what's going on,

450
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm here to do a job, Like

451
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: you know how people are gonna feel about that, And

452
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: then you know the expectations that are being placed upon you,

453
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: like you understand them. At least I understood them, and

454
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: you know, I was ready to commit to them, but

455
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: I still had so much to learn, like and have

456
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: times like you'll make mistakes, and like it's just one

457
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: of them things where you really got to have a

458
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: mindset where you know, I just got to move forward,

459
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: like even mid game, like if you just did some

460
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: completely off the wall goober stuff, like in the middle

461
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: of the game, like wow, like man, like that shouldn't

462
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: have happened, but you just got to move forward. And

463
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: so it's definitely just a matter of stacking things and

464
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: going into that second year, Like I understood so much

465
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: more in terms of you know, how I had to

466
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: improve my body in the off season, you know, where

467
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: I had to get more mentally a depth at you know,

468
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: understanding certain concepts and things of that nature as we

469
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: went on throughout the season, and so I was just

470
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: able to it slowed down for me a lot for sure,

471
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: like understanding the cadence, like having those nuances, because there

472
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: were times last year where you know, we got our

473
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: terminology and football and the stuff you know everybody does.

474
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: But you know, they say something in the huddle from

475
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty twenty one, and I'm just like, I'm like,

476
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: what does that mean? And so we're running to the

477
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: line and I'm just like, you know, I'm in my

478
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: stance and I'm like I'm like, I still don't really

479
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: know what that meant. And so you know, I do

480
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: what I do, yeah, and get back to the huddle,

481
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: and you know, somebody may be looking at you funny,

482
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: like dude, what were you doing right there? Like you're like, bro,

483
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: like you said like you said that, like I don't

484
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: know what that means. And he's like oh, he's like yeah, yeah, yeah,

485
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: that's from last year. That's on us. But you know,

486
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: coach is gonna let you know anyway, he's gonna be like, yeah,

487
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: you gotta be locked in there, Like you know. That's

488
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: because everything that's in a playbook, like you know, you're

489
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: expected to know, but there are some things that you

490
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: know aren't the playso it makes sense. And so like

491
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, they know that stuff and I don't. But

492
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: just like you know, learning little stuff like that, like

493
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: it really does like me in the world and just

494
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: you know, being more comfortable in terms of you know,

495
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: having that year competition up under your belt. For sure.

496
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 4: What has been the most challenging thing for you.

497
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: From run blocking as opposed to pass blocking, because I

498
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: know out of Tulsa you were dominanting the run blocking

499
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: came in. You're obviously one of the highest graded guards

500
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: in that area.

501
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: But past blocking, I think.

502
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: You're thirty sixth graded guard in the right now. But

503
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: just talk about one of the challenges with that.

504
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, definitely, you know there's nuances to everything and

505
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: past blocking run blocking. You know, coming into the league,

506
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: like you know, a big critique on me was all

507
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: he gets you know, he gets penalties and things of

508
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: that nature, and so I had to learn how to

509
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: improve my hands, to learn how to riking things of

510
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: that nature. It's something you always try to like some

511
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: of you always try to avoid in the league is

512
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: becoming stigmatized. I feel like, because everybody in this league holds,

513
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: like it's no secret anyone that turns on TV. Everybody holds.

514
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: And you know, I might rent right now, but things

515
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: things are obviously so obviously not being called fairly. So

516
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: I take that as a you know, I take that

517
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: as a challenge to myself because when you really break

518
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: down the tape and you really see what's going on,

519
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: like these PFF grades and you know, all respect the PFF.

520
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: You know they do what they do, and I guess

521
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: they do it at a high level. But you know,

522
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: you get one, you know, you get one penalty, right

523
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: like you get a you get a hold a flag

524
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: or something, and so your past grade is now like

525
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: from an eighty to a thirty six on one player. Yeah,

526
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: like and nobody else, like, you know, I understand it.

527
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Like that's why you can't dwell on these things, Like

528
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: you can't dowell on these grades and stuff. But it's

529
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: something that you just have to improve. You gotta be like,

530
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: how can I get my hands aside tighter. How can

531
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: I How can I get to my fits faster? You know,

532
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: how can I avoid you know, him not liking what

533
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: he sees because what somebody else does, I obviously can't

534
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: do like And that's just that's just part of honing

535
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: in on your craft, just understanding and obviously, you know,

536
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: I might have to dialogue with some people, like and

537
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: really talk to him and be like, hey, bro, like

538
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just trying to understand as a player,

539
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, trying to you know, perfect my craft and

540
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: be at the highest level of the game. You know,

541
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: what do you not want to see from me? Because

542
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: it's obvious, like, you know, I'll name an example right now.

543
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: First time we played the Eagles game winning drive, they

544
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: call a false start on me for getting a good

545
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: jump off the ball. The tackle was slower than me.

546
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: I got off the ball fasten the tackle, and that's

547
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: a that's a penalty. That's a game that's almost a

548
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: game breaking penalty. So now instead of being at the six,

549
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: we're at the eleven. And then you know what sack.

550
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: So instead of being at the eleven, we're at the seventeen.

551
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: And so it's just like things of that nature. But

552
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson gets a good jump off the ball every time, right,

553
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes he false starts. Somebody false starts a lot, Jordan

554
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: a lot of false starts a lot sometimes. And I'm

555
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: not even trashing their craft. That's part of the craft.

556
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: A part of getting the good jump off the ball

557
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: is part of being a good old alignment, right, And

558
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: so when they do it, penalty flags don't come. But

559
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: when I do it, you throw a flag on me.

560
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: So it's just like, you know, I'm kind of looking

561
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: around like you know, I'm you know, I'm trying to

562
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: be the best in this game, right, like you know

563
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to be the best at the highest level

564
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: of what you do. Maybe I need to dialogue with

565
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: them so that you know they understand, you know, this

566
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: is part of my craft as well, Like getting a

567
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: good jump off the ball. This is something I do,

568
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: like you know, being a little stronger than guys at times,

569
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: it is something we do. And so it's just part

570
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: of that. But definitely just improve your craft, and it's

571
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: something that you know, I'm just gonna keep on up

572
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: in my level so that you know, the extinguating factors

573
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: don't matter. But yeah, that's definitely one of them for sure.

574
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: You know, I can runt all day, I'm not gonna

575
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: do it.

576
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 7: We've we've been asking for consistency in the department and

577
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 7: if we being one hundred, I watched the film and

578
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 7: the one that you had this game might have been yes, two,

579
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 7: But we're not gonna go there.

580
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 6: Keeping honest, keeping it honest to what everybody's seeing, and

581
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 6: keeping the conversation open.

582
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's there.

583
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 7: It's funny that you talk about your hands because your

584
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 7: nick I nicknamed you coming out.

585
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 8: Of college, I nicknamed you pause because your hands. What

586
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 8: those things are insane?

587
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: You know, tiring?

588
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 8: Speaking of this is not my question, But what does

589
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 8: he are? The grunts and stuff real.

590
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: Yes, very authentic, like like they're powerful, powerful sounds.

591
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 4: Speaking of that big guy.

592
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 7: One thing I've seen y'all be very successful in this

593
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 7: year that I saw some last year, but more this year.

594
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 8: Duo and combo blocks are really something that y'all are

595
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 8: doing effectively.

596
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 7: Can you explain to the people why those are effective,

597
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 7: how they help out the offensive line, and just what

598
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 7: you enjoy from them, because it seems like y'all enjoy

599
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 7: doing it.

600
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like the most important thing establishing

601
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: a run game, and football is always super you know,

602
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: the run game is built off of these double teams

603
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: and combo blocks and so just you know, establishing that

604
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: physicality is another thing. Like, you know, in order for

605
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: the past game to get started, it's important to establish

606
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: a good run game because then the defense has to

607
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, condense the box or spread the box out,

608
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: depending on where they feel like they're getting attacked at.

609
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: And so with tiring, you know, just being able to

610
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: just just knowing the way he plays, like he's such

611
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: a physical player obviously, like we all know the dude's

612
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna be wearing a gold jacket when it's said and done,

613
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: and just being next to him and being able to

614
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: like understand the nuances of it too, because I played

615
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: left tackle for a very long time at least, well,

616
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say very long. It's probably like five

617
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: years you're really taking down junior year, senior year or

618
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: high school, and then three years of college, first year

619
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: in the league, so about six So I just you know,

620
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: I understand like at times where I'm like, damn, my

621
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: guard kind of left me out the hang right there, like,

622
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: and so you know, I'm knowing how he's going to

623
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: approach the block, like I know, you know, on this

624
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: duo block. You know, if I stand them up like

625
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, Tyran's goon be crashing at one hundred miles

626
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: per hour, like he just he won't be able to

627
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: hold up. And so I think that's where that that

628
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: knowledge of playing both positions has really come in handy.

629
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: And just getting vertical along guys is great too, because

630
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: picking up four five yards. If you get four or

631
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: five yards every time, your OC head coach offense is

632
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: not going to be unhappy with that, I'm telling you,

633
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: like just advancing a ball. But definitely just you know,

634
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: being able to have that year constantuity up under our belt,

635
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: being able to have a full training camp together and

636
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that has really just been great for that.

637
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 6: And so looking back at the last two years and

638
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 6: really reflecting on your journey, a lot's changed since last year.

639
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 6: Mike's now playing, calling the plays, and you have a

640
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 6: new OC.

641
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: That's all trickling down into Dak Prescott's best football.

642
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 6: What has it been like for you to see how

643
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 6: Dak has really just upped his game and taken the

644
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 6: initiative to do that. Just working around him, and with

645
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 6: him and what probade do you take in being able

646
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 6: to protect him each and every time around in the field.

647
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean I take a lot of pride in that

648
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: because you know, you know the success of the offense,

649
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: you know Dak's success. I mean, that's always the type

650
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: of guy he's been, Like, you know, regardless of what

651
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, the media is always going to talk and

652
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: I never watched the media, but just seeing just people

653
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: being able to see how elite he is on you know,

654
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: the highest stage you know, in the world, is just

655
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: crazy to me. You know, you take a lot of

656
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: pride and being part of that. Like the way we

657
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: play is you know, a direct representation of how the

658
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: offense runs, whether it be rushing, passing, et cetera. And

659
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: so you just you just take a lot of pride

660
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: and seeing like him being able to be elite. You know,

661
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: like we want to keep that going, you know, we

662
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: want that consistency, We want that continuity, so we know

663
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: each and every week, like you know, we got to

664
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: keep up in our standard. Like the standard is never

665
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: going to change, like, if anything, it should only get higher,

666
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: and so you know that's something that we want to

667
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: continue to trend on because we know what type of

668
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: player he is, like when he when he has the

669
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: protection he needs, when he has the time he needs,

670
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: when we're when we're keeping the you know, the completions

671
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: and rushes, you know that the percentage that they need

672
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: to be, Like, we know what type of team we

673
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: can be, and so that's something that you know, we're

674
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: definitely gonna keep going. And you know, it's just, you know,

675
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: it means the world to see, like, you know, how

676
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: much you know adversity he's overcome, not only in his

677
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, career, but in his life as well, and

678
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: just for him to be able to be, you know,

679
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: at the elite level he is right now. Like it's

680
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: just it's a great thing to see for sure. It's

681
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: just like you know, one of his teammates and stuff.

682
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: When I first got here, maybe the first or second week,

683
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: I'd asked you, you know, how much potential do you

684
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: feel like this offensive.

685
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 4: Line can have?

686
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: And you said, I feel like we can be the

687
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: best offensive line in the NFL.

688
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 4: How much? And I know you.

689
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: Guys had a hiccup this week, but you guys have

690
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: been pretty solid the past five weeks. Before this Buffalo

691
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: Bills game, how much closer do you feel like you

692
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 3: guys have gotten to that point of being one of

693
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: the best offensive units in the league right now.

694
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a crazy it's crazy to say,

695
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: because you know, the goal is, you know, to show

696
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: up each and every week, Like I feel like that's

697
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: what it is, Like, consistency is the name of our game.

698
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: Like you obviously you know what we do is and

699
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: measure the stats, but just showing up weekend and week out.

700
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: We've seen what we can do, like you know, it's

701
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: on tape, and it's just you know, it's a matter

702
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: of us, you know, showing up and just doing that consistently.

703
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: Because when we do that consistently, I don't think, you know,

704
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: there's not many people who can play with us, like,

705
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: and so just continuing to improve, continue to harp on

706
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: the fundamentals, and it's something that you can never really

707
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: get bored with. It's something that you're always trying to

708
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: seek out, like because you know, as you play, like

709
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: you'll find something that works for you and then you'll

710
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: have to make it better, right, Like, you know, it's

711
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: like anything, you know, it's an evolving game. You know,

712
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: players get younger players get better like things of that nature.

713
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: And so we're always we're always on that edge, you know,

714
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: always looking to what can we do better this, this

715
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: little much more so you know, we can just be

716
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: that best offensive line of the league because everything is

717
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a game of inches, like you know,

718
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: and we're trying. We're really looking for what separates us.

719
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: And I feel like the things we do well, we

720
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: got to keep doing well, and the things that we

721
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: need to do better, you know, we're obviously going to

722
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: work to do better for sure, and so I feel

723
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: like that's really just part of it, is attacking it

724
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: every week.

725
00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 7: So I think so TJ. Best is a gentleman that

726
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 7: I was coming out the draft. I was so surprised

727
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 7: that he wasn't drafted. He gave up no sacks, no

728
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 7: precious last game, had to step in last minute.

729
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 8: You've played the guard position.

730
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 7: Clearly, tell me some of your favorite things about him

731
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 7: and what he is as a player, because I know

732
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 7: y'all look across and be like, oh, this dude, this

733
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 7: dude can play. So what are your thoughts on him?

734
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: And so Amber Garcia, she's another like one of our

735
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: reporters or whatnot. She actually asked me at the end

736
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: of the preseason. She was like, who do you think

737
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: you know the most improved guy who do you think

738
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: is taking a really big leap out of training camp?

739
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, TJ Bass Show, Like because bro,

740
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: he's like he's so sturdy, Like TJ's one of the

741
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: sturdiest guys you know, I've ever seen. Like he's sturdy.

742
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: He has that rigid like that rigid athleticism that you

743
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: need in the inside good bass, like good core strength, stability,

744
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: recovery is phenomenal for a guy who's as as stout

745
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: as he is, as stout builty is, recovery is just phenomenal.

746
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: And he's really solid in the rung game, like he

747
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: moves people well, like he's able to get impact on

748
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: the first level and move up to the second really well.

749
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: And so he's just really like, you know, he's really

750
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: taking that leap, like you know, he's one of those

751
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: guys and I think those are just some of the

752
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: factors that make them a special It's just you know,

753
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: their recovery, strength, balance, and you know, like his body

754
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: composition is so he's really Yeah, he's really good.

755
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 6: Something that I've heard you talk a lot about is

756
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: just how mentally you stay prepared. And another reoccurring theme

757
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 6: within this team is the why and what your why is.

758
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 6: Obviously it's no secret wearing a star on your helmet.

759
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 5: You get a lot of scrutiny, you get a lot of.

760
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 6: Backlash, and it's not always pretty. How do you make

761
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 6: sure that you stay mentally kind of locked in when

762
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 6: the noise is loud on the outside. And I was

763
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 6: creeping on your Instagram a little bit and I saw

764
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 6: a post you made about your mama, and I figure,

765
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 6: that's one of your whys.

766
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: But who keeps you going?

767
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 6: What keeps you going to drown out the outside noise

768
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 6: and just stay focused and locked in.

769
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, my family is, for sure, you know, a

770
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: huge proponent. You know everything I do. You know, I

771
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: do everything, you know for my brother and my mom.

772
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, I remember, you know, football is giving me

773
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: so much, right you know, times were not always as

774
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, great as they are now, and so I'm

775
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: just so appreciative of the opportunity I get. And when

776
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: I got drafted, it was one of those things where

777
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, you never know how

778
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: you feel like, you know, until you know, until it happens, right.

779
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: So You're like, and you see, you see so many

780
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: guys who have been in the same, uh, the same

781
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: path of life that you are, who are on the

782
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: same drain that you are, and You're like, you know,

783
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: they get drafted, you know, what are you gonna do

784
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: with that opportunity? So when I got drafted, I thought

785
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: it was gonna be highly emotional, which I was, but

786
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: not in such an expressive way, like I didn't really cry,

787
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: like I didn't and I was emotional. So I was like, damn,

788
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: like you know I might cry. I was like, no tears. Well,

789
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: and so I was just like, man, you know, how

790
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: can I you know, how can I make the most

791
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: of his opportunity? Like you know, I've been blessed enough

792
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: that you know, I grew up in Fort Worth, went

793
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: to North Crowley. You know, I've been around this my

794
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: whole life and now you know, you know, I'm my

795
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: my hometown team's number one pick. Like you know, it's

796
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: just it's just a oat feeling to have, and I'm

797
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: just like, you know, but this isn't where it ends,

798
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: Like you know, we're just getting started, like you know,

799
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: the NFL is like you know, this is the highest

800
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: level of the sport, but it shouldn't be your ending

801
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: point in terms of like who you want to be, Like, oh,

802
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, you know I made it, so you know

803
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: it is what it is. And so I was just like,

804
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really want to make the most

805
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: of this. You know, I want to be the best

806
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: I can be. You know, I want to attack this

807
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: the right way. I got all the right guys to

808
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: learn from my room in terms of how to conduct

809
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: yourself as a professional and how to be a lead

810
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: at this game. And you know, my part of the

811
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: game at least, you know, offensive line, and you know

812
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: Zach and Tyron, you know, be Hones and so many others,

813
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: and so I just really like, you know, I you know,

814
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: there was some adversity coming out of coming out of

815
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: high school. Like I didn't have a lot of offers,

816
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, I had a big surgery. A lot of people,

817
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,479
Speaker 1: you know, from my from my point of view, lost

818
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: faith to me. And I was like, dang, like you know,

819
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, I was thirteen. I was you know, I

820
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: can ball, like it's on tape. I can ball. But

821
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, coaches, you know, coaches, you know, smile on

822
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: your face, you know, take the picture and stange handshakes

823
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: and they go back to the boss man it falls through,

824
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: and so it's totally you know, the game, the opportunity.

825
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: And for such a long time, I used to just

826
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: be like I was nervous to come out of Tulsa

827
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: because you know, I did all I did at Tulsa,

828
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: never missed a game, did all these things to you know,

829
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, prove or not even prove, but they were

830
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: just things I felt like I had to do. I

831
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: felt like that's what came with the deal. And then

832
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: coming out, I was like, man, you know, it's an

833
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: NFL gonna take me seriously, Like, you know, all these

834
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: people have had these criticisms of me, and you know,

835
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: you know how they think my players or you know,

836
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: who they think I am, or how good they think

837
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: my school is, and you know, you gotta take that

838
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: leap of faith. Like I was, like, you know, I

839
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: don't have a degree, like you know, my coaches told me.

840
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: And that was the hardest part. Like your coaches tell

841
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: you like all these things that are kind of you know, stacked,

842
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: some things that are kind of stacked me you favor,

843
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: but then they tell you like a but you know this,

844
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: this and that, like you know, you're so young, like

845
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: you know you got years left, like you could you could,

846
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: like when I'm hearing you'll be here, like when you

847
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: could be here, So like hear in mine and a

848
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: young twenty one year old dude's mine here is just

849
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: like damn, like you know what am I doing?

Speaker 10: You know?

851
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 1: What should I really do? Here? Like am I making

852
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: the right choice? Like and you know your mind can

853
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: get flooded with doubt, but you know I have faith

854
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: and you know, one thing I will say is like

855
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: you know I talked to my friends about I probably

856
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: called everybody. I was like should I stay in college?

857
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: Like should I go to the NFL? Like like what

858
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: should I do? And like you know, people were like yeah, bro,

859
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: like you know you can stay in college. And the

860
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: people and people were like, oh bro, like they're tripping

861
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: like go to the NFL, Bro, Like what you're talking about?

862
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: Like Bro, I'm telling you, Bro, I'm telling you, Like

863
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: and then other people are like yeah, bro, like you know,

864
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: why don't you just you know you're already at Tulsa,

865
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: this that and the other, and so like you know,

866
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: it was a hard decision, but like eventually, like one

867
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: day in the middle of the night, I left, like

868
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: just drove off, and I was like, you know, this

869
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: is what I you know, that's what I gotta do.

870
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: So I was just part of my journey and I

871
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I stuck with it. I was like,

872
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna make the most of this. No,

873
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what I gotta do. You know, I

874
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: want to be one of the best to ever play this,

875
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: like you know, I truly do. And so it's up

876
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: to you know, it's up to each player, you know,

877
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: to really give all that you got to because there

878
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of distractions, like a lot now you

879
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,920

00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: The main thing, is what I say, like you know,

Speaker 1: a roundabout way of getting too the you know, the

886

901
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,360

Speaker 10: the Dallas Cowboys.

907
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 9: You know that sound anywhere. It's the crisp crunch, that

908
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 9: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream ratio,

909
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 9: sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a sip

910
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 9: away from perfection.

911
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 5: That's what we're looking for.

912
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 9: Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi and we've achieved absolute nacho Nirvana,

913
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 9: because while you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,

914
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 9: savory topping, there's no topping of cool PEPSI finish nachos

915
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 9: better with PEPSI.

916
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:46,400

Speaker 3: to see him though last year. Yeah, but just me

932
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: being here and he's been one of the best guys

933
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: to actually talk to you.

934
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: So sweet, ye, so knowledgeable, and.

935
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,480

936
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 3: you know, didn't really talk last year.

937
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,520

00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 8: I forgot he and so he said it.

940
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 7: Times. Forget that he's so young, like and that he

941
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 7: is he was one of the longest if he's one

942
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 7: of the youngest people to come in.

943
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 4: He was one of the youngest in the draft last year.

944
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so I think it just I think Piers

945
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 7: in the NFL, he's one of the youngest players to

946
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 7: be drafted.

947
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 8: So yeah.

948
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 7: No to hear him talk about his journey and also too,

949
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 7: to talk about some of.

950
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 8: The mental and emotional turmoil.

951
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 7: That these guys go go, you know, and how the

952
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 7: opinions and all that stuff can affect them. You do

953
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 7: have to, you know, be steadfast and have a good

954
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 7: support system.

955
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 8: It was kind of dope to hear him talk about

956
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 8: that too.

957
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 6: It's just so cool to see how much he has

958
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 6: grown in two seasons and this is truly just the beginning.

959
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 6: And he continues to say that I'm so impressed by

960
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 6: everything he's done well. And I'm talking on the field,

961
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 6: I'm talking off the field. The conversations that you can

962
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 6: have with him, and you can go on and on

963
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 6: and on, because he just spews out so much knowledge,

964
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 6: whether you're talking about football or life with him, You'll

965
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 6: always learn something from Tyler Smith no matter what you're

966
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 6: talking about, even in the locker room. I'm like, let's

967
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 6: see what knowledge do you have for me today, just

968
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 6: because he's so smart and he's so willing to share

969
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 6: that knowledge with you. And not only that, but he's

970
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 6: always a student of the game. We talked about how

971
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 6: important that is. You heard him talking about how Tyrone

972
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 6: and Zach and Tyler Biattish just continue to be resources

973
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 6: that he utilizes.

974
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: Right.

975
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 6: He's he continues to have that learning mindset and that's

976
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 6: hard to find that's not coachable. That's an aspect that

977
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 6: he brings that I think is just so special and

978
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 6: so I'm just I'm glad we get to show everybody

979
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 6: sides of these players that they don't necessarily get to see.

980
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not done, because we've got more cooking

981
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: up for y'all.

982
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 5: Right, Hello.

983
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was cool to hear him talk about Mike Salari.

984
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 5: I think that's important.

985
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 7: He's a highre that you know, was kind of under

986
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 7: the radar and maybe hasn't been talked about a whole bunch.

987
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 7: But I enjoyed hearing him kind of talk about Mike

988
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 7: Salari and the attitude different and the energy and how

989
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 7: sometimes it does matter when you're being taught, how information

990
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 7: is being conveyed to you.

991
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 8: And to hear he's he was explaining how it's.

992
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 7: Easier, it's more digestible and everything. But also to the

993
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 7: energy from he and Schottenheimer, I think matters has mattered

994
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 7: for this offense as well. So yeah, that was that

995
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 7: was one of the coolest parts that just hearing him

996
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 7: talk about Salari.

997
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 4: But it's not even just him.

998
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 3: We hear that with all the players, about all these coaches.

999
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: They bring a different type of energy and you have

1000
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 3: to with young guys, especially in this league.

1001
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 4: So I think it's pretty dope. But I know that

1002
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 4: we've got to wrap thing up.

1003
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,440
