He is normally 25 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: a man of a few words, somewhat soft spoken, belying 26 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: the way he plays. Am I doing all right? So far? Okay? Good? Yeah? 27 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: Soft tone, But he's got a little more. He's got 28 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: a little more of that very white thing going on 29 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: tonight because he's got a sore throat.

So yeah, thanks, 62 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: thanks for that. Right. Is there any better motivation than 63 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: knowing that if you win, another Cowboy Hour happens? Yeah? 64 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Is there any better motivation? That's what they say in 65 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: the huddle. They're just like more Cowboys Hour. Yeah, I 66 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: can see it. Um, So I want to start with 67 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: I want to start with um Malik uh, but both 68 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: of you talk a little bit about that. That felt 69 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: to me yesterday like watching Rocky one if it was 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: like a big slug fast a heavyweight fight, and of 71 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: course it had to go over time, and of course 72 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: there had to be that that many plays in me. 73 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: And what was it like playing today? Were you just 74 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: exhausted at the end? Man? It was intense. I can 75 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: tell you that. By the end of the game, do 76 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: you bring that microphone right up in front of your face. 77 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: We don't want to miss a syllable. Okay, all right, 78 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: by the end of the game, I was I was beat. 79 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: I was beat. I know this man was beat. If 80 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I was beat, he was beat. Malik, by the way, 81 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: if he pauses before he responds his drinking hot tea 82 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: with lemon or honey, He said, it was honey, honey, 83 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: you too. Okay, we'll get some something sweet in that 84 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: for you. So we just drained yesterday. Uh not really. 85 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't too many plays for the defense. Yeah, it 86 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of defensive players in the game. Um. 87 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: I think somewhere starting the fourth quarter we had about 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: like twenty nine plays and um, you know, we were 89 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: fresh moaning overtime, so we was prepared to go back 90 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: out there we need to do. So if Ross was 91 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: exhausted and you weren't, are you just in way better 92 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: shape than Daniel? Is that? Yeah? That's when it comes down. 93 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: I was drained emotional. Yeah, well I'm write stressful games. 94 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: I am right with you there. Weel like you said that, 95 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: drained emotionally. I think Cowboys fans were drained emotionally because 96 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: they knew what the game meant, what was on the 97 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: line as far as playoff hopes, and what it meant 98 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: for the NFC East. How much do you guys buy 99 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: into that knowing that or is it just a nameless, 100 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: faceless opponent. They're just not talking to that one. I say, Um, 101 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: we try to treat it like a nameless faces upon it, 102 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: but you know, we know the severity. What could happen 103 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: if we didn't win that game yesterday, and you know 104 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: important it was for our future? How much or how 105 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: does it happen? And it seems like this happens a 106 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: lot in the NFL. You guys have an incredible defense 107 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: this year. But when it gets to the point of 108 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and they were able to start moving 109 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: the ball and putting up some points. What changed? Did 110 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: you feel like anything changed with you guys or them 111 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: or just it's really tough to stop an NFL team 112 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: for forty eight minutes. A little bit of both, and 113 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: it was a big switch of momentum. You know, they 114 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: got some momentum. They had some good defensive stops. Yeah, 115 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: and you know they were able to score a few 116 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: touchdowns and no tide of game up. So do you 117 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: guys believe in the backs against the wall mentality that 118 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: I've been hearing preach? I think I've heard tyrone to 119 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: Marcus and you started smiling, Millik, What do you think 120 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: about that? We hear it all the time, you know, 121 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: Coach Garrity, He repeated over and over and over again 122 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: and beat it into us saying it you know, so 123 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm used to hang it. What does that mean to 124 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: you though? When you hear backs against the wall, I mean, well, 125 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: it's true. We have to you know, we have to 126 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: win if we want to keep playing in the playoffs. 127 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: And uh, I made some nice mentality to have. But 128 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: something that I always try to look at you, Daniel, 129 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about your journey to the NFL, 130 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: because everybody's got thrown individual story Malague, Nebraska, third round, 131 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, looking into how you got here. That your 132 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: path is a little bit different. Yeah, my path is 133 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: a lot different from a lot of guys in the league. 134 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: I started at the JUCO, did two years there. What 135 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: two seas? Wait, don't make itself like jail now. I 136 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: did two years, I did my two years, I got 137 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: out and I did two seasons at Northeast Mississippi. It 138 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: was it was good. It was a good time. But 139 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: I did, uh two years two and a half years 140 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: in the CFL, and that was at up there. But 141 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: I had a good agent. I had a good man 142 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: behind me, Master with shout out to him. Uh. He 143 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: never stopped fighting for me and I never stopped fighting 144 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: for room. And what was the two thy seventeen I 145 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: got my shot to come to the NFL. I saw 146 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: what was the what was the struggle of the CFL. 147 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: I know you had an injury up there at one point, 148 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: I had a menisca stare. Uh set me out for 149 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: a whole season, and I just I was cut from 150 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: a team I was on.

But we're not gonna get into all that, uh. 155 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: And then I went to another team and they just 156 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: screw me around. Who's the first person you give a 157 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: hug too?

How did you not 172 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: wind up playing basketball somewhere in the state of Kentucky 173 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: didn't have to be UK Western Eastern. My football coach, 174 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: he told me that my calling was football. So my 175 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: sophomore year I didn't play football to my sophomore year. 176 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: So let me just get this. Your football coach, whose 177 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: job is to find football players, said, oh, no, you're 178 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: not a basketball player. We never mind what all those 179 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: scouts say. You're a football player. Uh exactly. Uh So 180 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: I gave you to try my sophomore year and first 181 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: play I came down and kickoff open field hitting he 182 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: was out for like the whole game. And you like that. Yeah, 183 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: I just take I like take migration out of people. 184 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: Okay then, and it's right and it's legal. Yeah that's 185 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: how tall are you? What's your listed height? Okay? So 186 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: as a low post player that might not have been NBA. 187 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: Maybe your coach was right that it was. Hey, you 188 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: know exactly heck of a player, but six more sounds 189 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: like a football player. But I can move them. Okay, okay, okay, 190 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: we've seen that. Actually, some of the best players you've 191 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: made have been because you can move so well. I 192 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: can if I wanted to. Then the real person who 193 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: could move was Malik, who was the state champion wrestler 194 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: in high school. I was getting there. Yeah, that was 195 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: a guy who could do some moves. When did you 196 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: decide that you had to just focus on football when 197 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: you went to Nebraska? God, I was always wrestling. Was 198 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: just to keep me in shape for football, to keep 199 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: my weight down. Never really liked thought about pursuing it after. 200 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: Did it help you though? Like different unique techniques if 201 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: you would for wrestling in football? How does it translate? Um, 202 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: I say the male the mental toughness you gotta have 203 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: to wrestle to go through a practice is uh, it's 204 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: pretty much equivalent to like a fall camp, you know 205 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: in football, are we out there grinding full pass every day? 206 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: Or a Mary Nelly individual that's yours ross about his 207 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: first practice affection to the man. I'm just on the 208 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: other side of this coming up break. Okay, I was 209 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead, and I'll go ahead. Um oh man, Brad, 210 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: you know what just happened. Let's just happened. I forgot, 211 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: Oh man, I had a great question. Yes what, Oh 212 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: I got it. It's back because I was gonna stop 213 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: the phone. Everybody, it's bad. I don't know how to 214 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: tell you this, but that's gonna get worse. Oh no, no, 215 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: So you said wrestling to keep the weight down. Are 216 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: you now at this point? I find it fascinating because 217 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: a lot of offensive linemen and defensive lineen. You see 218 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: when they're done playing football, they shrink. Which way does 219 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: your body want to go up or down? Do you 220 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: have to keep it up there? Or you have to 221 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: keep it down? I got to keep it down there 222 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: for sure. Okay, are we're snacking? What? What were doing? 223 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: Just all around discipline just gotta be better.

Um, 253 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: but I know, Malik and I have probably had this 254 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: conversation before. You're You're from Kansas City. You know I 255 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: went to Missouri. Yeah, yeah, Malief knew there. What's up 256 00:14:51,880 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: with Nebraska? So the pockets weren't deep enough? But not 257 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: how to get paid? No one who was it was Nebraska, Arkansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, 258 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: Arkansas came late, Iowa Kansas was at least they were 259 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: in it. At least they were smart enough to be 260 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: in it. All right, let's let's let's come back to 261 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: present day for a minute. And then, Uh, I don't 262 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: think we're quite done with Daniel Ross's basketball career yet. 263 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: I have this feeling. But but let's come back to 264 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: the present day. So, um you, I think everybody recognized 265 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: that you guys had a good defense at training camp, 266 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: and I think we saw as the season was unfolding 267 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: that you had something building. Obviously, over the last month 268 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: it's gone nuts, and you therefore put pressure on yourselves 269 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: to continue to do it every week. And now people 270 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: are going to be gunning for you. I want to 271 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: know what it's like, Daniel, You can go first. What's 272 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: it like from the inside when you start getting these 273 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: results and suddenly the statistics become meaningful because it's not 274 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: for three games, it's for a whole year. And then 275 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: you have a game like you did against the Saints, 276 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: And what's that like from the inside to be part 277 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: of that? Man, I just I just feel like it's 278 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: a total blessing, you know, to be a part of 279 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: this group group of guys. We really take heaven each other, 280 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: like we really like lean on each other, uh, to 281 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: the board one another and anything we do, especially on 282 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: the field and off the field, and feed off each other, 283 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: inspire each other play well because of each other. We 284 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: do all that. And uh, just just me just coming 285 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: in not not knowing the system and you know, getting 286 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: used to everybody Uh, the guys they treated me like 287 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: a brother. You know. There was our ups and our downs, 288 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: especially our downs between me and this guy over here. 289 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: But no, it's it's nothing but a brotherhood. Malik. You, 290 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: on the other hand, have been part of it your 291 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: entire career. What has this year, this build up been, Like, 292 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: what's it feel like? And what's it feel like? It's 293 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: out in front of you. I feel like, um, what 294 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: we've been progressing to all these years, but these last 295 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: three years, you know, trying to trying to build that 296 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: and um, we're trying to keep it going and we're 297 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: trying to get him in better, like twenty three points 298 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: on defense and no that's not our standard. What is 299 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: zero zero? It's pretty hard to do. What rules are 300 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: We still de scritching the surface of this defense when 301 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: it needs say more, Yeah, say more. You're scratching the surface. 302 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: We're de scritching the surface. We haven't even touched our 303 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: full potential of the defense set. What are your goals 304 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: for the full defense vision to come out to play? 305 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: What defense one Championships now obviously like you're wearing the 306 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: hot Boys hat for a new you can't see it 307 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: listening on the radio, and then you've changed your Twitter 308 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: handle to hot boy Ross. How much of this hot 309 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: boy's mentality is just soaked into your guys's group litle lifestyle? 310 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: Oh that I'm just terrified by that whole idea. Somehow, 311 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: I think there are things, There's so many questions I 312 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: want to ask, and I don't want to hear the 313 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: answers to any uphow. But it is a lifestyle. That's 314 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: why it's only a select few. So what all right? 315 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: So how would you describe the lifestyle to people who 316 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: will never be able to participate? It just outsiders like 317 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: Sean Lee? You just got a litle life of a 318 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: hot boy.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, 346 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: so little that you guys keep doing to each other. 347 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: They keep like greeting each other with this little noise. 348 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: You know. It's just that's how we let each other 349 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: know that we end up building. But how would you 350 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: hear that over a loud crowd? You hear it, Daniel, 351 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: We always got to be key. Then tell me about 352 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: your introduction to Rod Marinelli. Oh it was hell excuse 353 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: my fresh but oh man, uh my first my first 354 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: practice with the Cowboys. I was coming. That was last November, right, yeah, 355 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: it was no last November. I was coming from being 356 00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: with uh Casey Chief seven weeks. That was a culture shock. 357 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: It was a culture shock to me coming from Casey 358 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: to Dallas and the way Dallas do things here under 359 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli is totally different. See, well, we're gonna need 360 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: you to explain that because a lot of people who 361 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: only watch pro football as fans think that it's pro 362 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: Football's pro football. It's all done the same everywhere, but 363 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: you've got a perspective that's different. Oh yeah, uh It's 364 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: all I can say is it's miserable. Practice is miserable. 365 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: It's not fun, you know, but we we thrive in 366 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: that misery. You know. Uh, they put us, Rod Minnelli 367 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: put he put us through the ringa every day, you know, 368 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: just to test where our mind set is and how 369 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: strong our mindset will be now for Moik When you 370 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: first met Rod Marnelli, was it similar? Would your response 371 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: have been something along those lines, And how does it 372 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: change as you've been around him for a while you've 373 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: established yourself on the team, does he does he get 374 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: easier on you? Does the it's the same thing every day. Fortunately, 375 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: I had a couple of context clues. I had talked 376 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: to Randy about it. You know, I had a I 377 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: worked out with Big Cat previously the draft, and um, 378 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: just I was like the two and a half hour workout, 379 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: So I was like, I was just preparing for that, 380 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: so that your workout with leon Lett was like, was 381 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: it two and a half hour workout? Preparing for the raft? 382 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: Had to be a violation at that time? Easy? Now? Easy? Okay. 383 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: I think you'd have a great perspective on this because 384 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: I think, uh, watching Randy Gregory from the time he 385 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: was drafted to now being on the field and having 386 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: a lot of success and pressure in the quarterback. Uh. 387 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: A lot of people have a lot of different views 388 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: on Randy Gregory. Some people would say the way the 389 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: NFL system is set up isn't necessarily the way it 390 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: should be to help people get to where you'd like 391 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: them to be. So watching him go from where he 392 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: started to now being a big factor on this defense, 393 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: what was that like for you as a former roommate? Correct? Yeah, 394 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's great. I mean I wish, I wish 395 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: I got the most most success. Man, praying for him, 396 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: and um, I hope he just stays on this path. 397 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: We're hard of doing that, don't he. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 398 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: But what were some funny things about being his roommate? Oh? Man, 399 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: what'd you learn about him that that would not get 400 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: you arrested? Yeah? Was he a snore? Or no? He 401 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: slept a lot? Though he slept a lot. Uh, then 402 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: he was a good dude. He's still a good dude. Yeah. Yeah, 403 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take your break. We don't want 404 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: to start another line of questioning before we do that. Uh. 405 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: And and then there's more coming.

That's what we uh so, 664 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what we couched to do. How much 665 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: freedom do you guys have on each individual play in 666 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: terms of what you're gonna do? Do you do you 667 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 1: normally have a gap assignment? Or can I go left 668 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: right down the middle of whatever I want to try 669 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: to get report the We got assignments, But it just 670 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: depends on so when it comes to third down, if 671 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: it's a green call or something like that. I'm in 672 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: charge of calling the games, so you know I called 673 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: the game and you know when we rush it or 674 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: however it goes. How do you guys decide who is 675 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: in charge of calling the game? This is like that. 676 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't know it's involved that way. I'm elite. He's 677 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: the best one they call the games. He just doesn't automatically. 678 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: So now is that what we're talking about? Games? For 679 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: anybody to know? Where about stunts, tackles or tackles and 680 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 1: ends coordinate and and so does it matter who's next 681 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: to you when you decide to call a game. I mean, 682 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: if it's Nickel, I guess it'll be tie a lot. Yeah, 683 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: But I mean lately I've been rushing a lot on 684 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: DLAs side. It's a hard side of rush on because 685 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: you got so much attention to coming outside, you got 686 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: the center turn, you got a badest possible chip at him. 687 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: You might have a tight end the formation, and I mean, 688 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: it's it's ever decide it's gonna get the one on 689 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: one rush for the anside guys, So it's gonna go. 690 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: I gotta go over there and take on a double 691 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: team with him, hopefully. How do you how did you 692 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: get the seniority and the ability to be the one 693 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: that calls it if you're on the side with the 694 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence who's been here longer. I've been calling for 695 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: a while now, and it's probably about three years. I'm 696 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: gonna calling him now, so for the whole line, or 697 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: for that side of it, for the whole line, for 698 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: the one What happens if you call a game with 699 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: d Law and he don't want to, that's why you 700 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: the game calling. I like that answer. It seems like 701 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: lately it's been a lot of the end having to 702 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: crash down and then you get to loop around, and 703 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: now I think I understand why. Well, I mean, that's 704 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,320 Speaker 1: that's the best way we've been seeing to get pressure. 705 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: It is to get Mouie Collins free.

Here good idea, right, Okay? Our first 734 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: question is from Larry from Kenny, gentlemen, how you doing. 735 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: I know that you all have a fun competition amongst 736 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 1: each other as the hot boys getting as many sacks 737 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,760 Speaker 1: as possible, But yeah, it's a unit performance. But in reality, 738 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: what would you cherish more in your career having the 739 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: most sacks or at least returning one fumble for a touchdown? 740 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: See that's such a smart audience. I d ross your first. 741 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: I gotta go with a touchdown. I feel like you'd 742 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: have a celebration. What is it you tell us? Or 743 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: we gotta wait for it? Usually got a wait for that, 744 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 1: you know, if it ever happened us. But just no, 745 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: that's what I'm going with most sacks. If you go like, 746 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: if you're going like sacks over time, I would say 747 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: more sacks because it would mean more than a touchdown. 748 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,359 Speaker 1: I won't pero how many? Okay? So if we said 749 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 1: you were gonna leave the team in sacks this year 750 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 1: or return a touchdown, you're taking the sacks. What if 751 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: we moved the touchdown number up? What if you ran 752 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: back four fumbles for a touch Oh that's different? Then 753 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,800 Speaker 1: would you like, would you let Tank have the most sass. 754 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: What about two touchdowns? Yeah for sure. Okay, see at 755 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 1: that point, once it's more than one, we just have 756 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: to establish the price. We understand what's going There's always 757 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: a price. There's always a price. Okay, next one our 758 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 1: next questions from Don from Alan, Well, before I ask 759 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: my question, first, you guys have got to check the 760 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: video out on this podcast because when you were singing, 761 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: he was channeling Ray Charles on the other end.
