1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: As we do every Friday. At this time, it's time

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: for the Stephen Jones Show. You want your Home, Cowboy?

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Isn't a good afternoon to you, sir? How the heck

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: are you good? Afternoon? Guys ready to get back to

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: playing football? Heading off to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: Let's talk about those guys here and a few but

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to know from you with with three players

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: heading out this week with the trade and a couple

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: of releases, is that the season? Could we see more

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: of that coming up in the days ahead of the deadline?

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think we are kind of

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: made the moves that we were pleased with, and uh,

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the trade deadlines t easday, we're still

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: you got a few things in play. But overall, I

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: think we did what we needed to do in our mind,

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: you know, from coach McCarthy and Jerry and Will and

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: h felt like we did there, did the right things

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: there to help our team. Stephen, we're on this show,

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: we're really into the team building part of football. And

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: so how much do you guys go into all the

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: guys in your last year of a contract, for instance,

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: in your secondary Cheeto, Jordan Lewis, Xavier Woods and listen

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: to people calling and compare that to comp pics and

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: talk about it. If we're going to extend these guys,

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: how much of that is going on on a daily basis.

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot. I mean, you know, are you going

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: to get compensatories for those players? Do you want to?

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, obviously in a lot of these cases, we

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: still want to see these guys play. I mean, Tito's

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: had a difficult year with injuries and uh so that's

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: an interesting one. And then uh le Us same thing.

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: He's been banked up a little bit. So you know,

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: all the other guys that we still want to see

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: you and you know, I think might have a future here.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: We just have to see, uh how things go. And

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: obviously we've had our share of injuries and uh, you know,

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: they we just got to continue to you know, go

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: to work every day and practice and get better. And

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of football left, so it's real important

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: that we do that. And now obviously, ever since Griffin's

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: a good player, we ended up for getting us you know,

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: a pick for him, and that also allows us to

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, as we move forward, to really see Randy playmore. Certainly,

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: guys like Dorince Armstrong and and I are all guys

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: that's you know, playing that role. So we just felt

46
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: like that was the best thing for us at the

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: time when you considered the cap savings and the young

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: guys that we have there that are ready to get

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: more snaps. Hey, Stephen, this week, it seemed like the

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: players that practice, we're all excited about Denucci. They were

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of rallying around him talking about how well he

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: was slinging the ball around. My question for you is

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: can you see that being a positive? I mean, how much?

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: How far can you go with that? And tell everybody

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: about how you guys happened to pick him in the

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: seventh round, Where did his name come from? And what

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: you like what you see with him? Well, I think

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you certainly like you know,

59
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: his movement. Uh, he's a good athlete. He moves well.

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: He's actually got ten inch hands and get his hands

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: round the ball good and he can sling it from

62
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: a lot of angles. Reminds me of you know, a

63
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: little Romo ass that way in terms of how he

64
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: can release the ball from different angles. Uh. You know,

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Mike had a little background of knowing knowing him from

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: there out of Pittsburgh and some things like that and

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: a little background with him. But uh, you know, really

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: liked him, and Mike likes a guy with movement, guy

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: who move around, and uh, certainly, uh, you know, he's

70
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: he does have a lot of game or two him.

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you know, been watching him all year

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: with you know, with playing on the scout team, and

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: I just he's really got a lot of things to

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: work with. And you know, you never know till you

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: get guys out there and give him a chance. Obviously,

76
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Dak was a fourth round pick and he got given

77
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity and he ran with it. But uh, you know,

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great opportunity for Denucci. It's great.

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: We're getting Zach Martin back, which really should help shore

80
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: up some of the offensive line issues that we have.

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: And you know, we're fired up about playing this week.

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: The guys had a good week of practice, had good energy,

83
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: and I feel like they will rally around Denucci. Okay,

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: so you bring it up, and I'm curious. I'm gonna

85
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: ask the optimistic question. If Denucci has a great game

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: and plays really well, how do you guys approach next

87
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: week if Andy Dalton's cleared, Well, Andy's our guy and

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: feel like he you know, he made great progress here

89
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the week and lived be his

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: job when he gets back. But it's gonna also be

91
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: great to get to watch Danucci get an opportunity here

92
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: in terms of playing against Philadelphia. Doesn't get any bigger

93
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: than that, a good divisional game, and let's see what

94
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: he can go out there and do. Speaking of that,

95
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: one more de Nucci question. I don't want you to

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: give your hand away, but do you think he'll be

97
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: running close to what the typical cowboy his office would

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: run or you think they're going to dumb it down

99
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: a little bit because he's rookie. Well, we'll have to,

100
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, to some degree, do some things that help

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: him out and do what he does best. So I

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: do thank you. You know, we're gonna give him and

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Mike's great at that, coln will be great at that,

104
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: giving him ever opportunity to have success and what he's

105
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: done and what he does well, it's the Stephen Jones

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: show here on the fan. We saw a report with

107
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: the deadline next week. There's no way you guys will

108
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: be treating Michael gallup, Is that right? No, Michael's on

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: our team, see him having a bright future here in Dallas,

110
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: and no interest in trading Michael. Do you guys let

111
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the lack of success with the older players he's signed

112
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: in free agency, like McCoy, Poe Worley affect how you

113
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: approach free agency next year. You know, we've always been

114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: conservative when it comes to free agency. You know, we're

115
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: big believers and you built through the draft, but you also,

116
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, you want to fill some holes. That was

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: the reason, uh for signing all those guys. You know,

118
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: shore up some things so you don't have to necessarily

119
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: reach reaching the draft. And uh, you know we'll continue

120
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: to do that. Uh. You know, all these guys are

121
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily uh you know, catastrophic cap hits if you

122
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: look at the way their contracts were structured. So you know,

123
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we'll continue to look at free

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: agency the way we always have, which is, you know,

125
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: you want to shore up your needs before the draft

126
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: and you don't want to over extend. Uh. Certainly with

127
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: the cap situation in the NFL probably going to be

128
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: very interesting, uh, you know, with having the COVID year

129
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: and uh, certainly, uh having to look at what the

130
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: CAP's actually gonna be. There's gonna you know, a lot

131
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: of teams are gonna have challenges in terms of working

132
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: around the cat. But we'll we'll certainly look at what

133
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: our situation is and you know, continue to look at

134
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: it the same way. And uh, no, you're not always

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: going to hit on everybody, but really felt like, uh,

136
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll continue to operate and feel like the

137
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: way we do it's a good way. Do you guys

138
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: feel like you were able to execute what Mike McCarthy

139
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: talked about with with player over scheme and do you

140
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: plan on that sort of being a philosophy moving forward?

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: It will be it'll still be important that we get

142
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: good football players first and foremost and then work the

143
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: scheme around. I think there's no question. And you know,

144
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: not having an offseason, certainly had his challenges with a

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: new staff, in particular when you're trying to put in

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: a new defensive scheme. So you know, those are all

147
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: things that a lot of teams had to but uh,

148
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, we feel good about our staff where we're

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: headed and Coach McCarthy and uh, you know, how we'll

150
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: move forward in the future. But no, we got a

151
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: lot of football to play to play right now, and

152
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: it's really important that we go to week, go to

153
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: work each week and uh and get better. We heard

154
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Jerry this morning talking about how Zach Martin will be

155
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: back at guard this week, so I would assume Terrence

156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: Steele will be at right tackled as the coaching staff

157
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: like Steele as a player more than McGovern or are

158
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: you just hesitant to move people around? Well, I just

159
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: think you know, there's a little bit of everything that

160
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: goes into it. And you said it, you know, you

161
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: start moving a lot of a lot of guys around,

162
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and you know, some more challenges. But you know, I

163
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: do think there's a lot to like about Steel. He's

164
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: got great length, he works really hard at it football

165
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: to him. And at the same time McGovern's coming fast,

166
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: and so you know, I wouldn't necessarily say we like

167
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: one more than the other. It's probably at the end

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: of the day, a little more of you know, a

169
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts you'd like to avoid. So we'll

170
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: continue to monitor that situation. I thought McGovern improved each

171
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: time he's gone in and play, and I think that'll

172
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: continue to happen as it will with Steve. It's Stephen

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: don't show here on the fan how much could Sean

174
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: Lee help with his coach on the field type of skills,

175
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: time that defense back together. Anytime you have a player

176
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: like Sean Lee who's had an obviously great career, uh,

177
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a great understanding of the game.

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: He is, you know, one of the you know, big

179
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: time leaders we've ever had through the doors for the

180
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys organization. So he'll be a huge to have him

181
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: around more. And I think he can really do a

182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: lot to help us there. But even more importantly than that,

183
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: he's a He's a hell of a football player, So

184
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: it'll be great to have him back. Steven. If you

185
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: could pick one guy on your roster to have a

186
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,479
Speaker 1: great rest of the year and show really good progress

187
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: and growth, who would you pick and why? That's a

188
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: good question. I'd like to think there's a handful of

189
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: players that will need to you know, grows, you know,

190
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: as he shows. You know, that's a hard one. Uh.

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: I just think any of these young players, as they

192
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: continue to get opportunities, uh, you know, you you hope

193
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: they would continue to develop and whether that's defensive lineman,

194
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: offensive lineman obviously huge you know, big, big time injury.

195
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: Offensive line. Would be great to see some of these

196
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: who were you know, supposed to be back ups this

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: year that are now finding themselves out of football to

198
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: watch them develop. So now it's real hard to single

199
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: out a particular UH player at this point. So uh,

200
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, the bigger thing is just to have these

201
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: young guys, as they get opportunities, take advantage of them

202
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: and and show us things so that you know, we

203
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: we feel comfortable going with players these young guys in

204
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: the future and we don't have to go out and

205
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: h you know, you know, play the game in free

206
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: agency where you have to pay more money. I couldn't

207
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: help but thinking with all these young guys, how much

208
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: fun it would be if you hit a third unexpected

209
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: home on at quarterback and Nuts turns into something, well,

210
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: he'd be He's outstanding. Obviously. We do feel good though it,

211
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be back next week same time. The

212
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: nuts she's got really I think a good future for us.

213
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Mike's really fired up about working which we move forward,

214
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: and you know, he's obviously one of those that's that guy.

215
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: That you hope takes advantage of every opportunity he gets. Hey, Stephen,

216
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: talking about the game itself on Sunday night, besides the

217
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: exes and the o's and the execution on the field

218
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: and what might happen during the game, could you talk

219
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: about what you expect the atmosphere to be like? Because

220
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, as you know, they've always circled the calendar

221
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. They basically have lifted this into

222
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: the rivalry. It's like, probably one of the best rivalries

223
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, and it's because of the

224
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,239
Speaker 1: way the fans is particular in Philadelphia go nuts about

225
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: playing against the Cowboys. They're gonna let some fans in.

226
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: But what kind of reception do you think is going

227
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: to be and how it might be different in a pandemic. Well,

228
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: it's just tough when you don't get to have many fans.

229
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw that last week in Washington. You know,

230
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: you get you know, you only have a handful of

231
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: fans in there. It's different. Hats off to hard group

232
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: of fans they've really made, I think a huge difference

233
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the atmosphere. It's even though it's twenty

234
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: five thousand people. It's still a big difference, and a

235
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: lot bigger difference when you're dealing with twenty five versus

236
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: you know, one to one to five thousand, So you know,

237
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: there's no question it's different when you walk in these

238
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: great buildings, that especially the n SC East buildings where

239
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: there's great rivalries and obviously the fans are over the

240
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: top in terms of coming out strong for their team.

241
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: So it will be interesting to see, you know, see

242
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: what the atmosphere is like. I hadn't heard exactly the

243
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: number of fans are going to be able to have.

244
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure that in there will make a lot of noise.

245
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: And certainly I know the Eagles, as all nfcast games go,

246
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: I know they'll be prepared, and you know this thing

247
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: the East is up for grass. It'll be a be

248
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: a great competitive atmosphere in terms of our players are

249
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: going against one another. How big of a challenge do

250
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: you and the rest of the front office view getting

251
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: the defense back to where you'd like it to be,

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: whether that's through player acquisition or just execution. Oh, I

253
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: think you know, it's a challenge. Anything in this league's

254
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: a challenge. It's very competitive, but at the same time

255
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: feel very good that we'll continue to make progress and

256
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: get better with each week, and certainly as we move forward,

257
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, I feel we can accomplish that, and it's

258
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: going to be certainly interesting to see how, you know,

259
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: what strides we've made this week, and I feel like,

260
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll we'll take some big steps there, and you know,

261
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: a guy like getting more opportunity to get in there

262
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: and play, certainly having shine laid back, it is going

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: to be big. And you know, Layton getting another game

264
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: under his belt. All these things are I think big

265
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: pie for our football team. Sounds great. Stephen getting heck

266
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: up there. We've been pulling for you. Thanks buddy, Appreciate

267
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: you guys. Thank you
