Speaker 1: a deal. Yeah, I'm gonna work on that. Yeah. So Keith,
Speaker 1: before we get into the football stuff, tell us a
Speaker 1: little bit about you know, where you grew up, where
Speaker 1: you went to high school, getting recruited out of high school,
Speaker 1: where you went to college, and how you got here.
Speaker 1: You had a long road here, right, long journey started
Speaker 1: started started off in high school. Yeah, it started off.
Speaker 1: I'm from Pomona, California. It's sub in the LA area.
Speaker 1: I grew up in Covina and went to high school
Speaker 1: out there, and uh, you know, it's it's a little
Speaker 1: outer outer city of the It's not really downtown LA.
Speaker 1: So it's it's the suburbs and whatnot. But um, I
Speaker 1: mean it's not it's not too much to do out there,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But when when you when
Speaker 1: you got limited resources, you find a way find a
Speaker 1: way to have a good time. That's like me being
Speaker 1: an only child. I just made friends up. So I
Speaker 1: had imagine friends like in the fifth grade. Yeah that's
Speaker 1: a whole that's show. That's another show, right Yeah yeah, no,
Speaker 1: so I mean it was I went to a pretty
Speaker 1: good football high school. We have a lot of tradition there.
Speaker 1: My head coach. He's he has like over a hundred wins,
Speaker 1: and it might be two hundred wins in his career,
Speaker 1: So like he's a legend out there. But chool again,
Speaker 1: Turtle High School, Kovie and California UM back to back Sea.
Speaker 1: I have champions, you know what I'm saying, No big
Speaker 1: deal deal, But but what positions you play? In high school?
Speaker 1: I played linebacker primarily, and then my senior year I
Speaker 1: played a little bit of fullback and tight end. So
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always tried to be an athlete, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like my freshman year, I was
Speaker 1: like five too, like one sixty five fat, like a
Speaker 1: complete tweeter. Didn't I didn't know what I was gonna do.
Speaker 1: But I was fortunate to have my brother in law.
Speaker 1: He actually played at the same high school, and he, uh,
Speaker 1: he played in the league. So he played for the
Speaker 1: Coats for a couple I want to say, three years,
Speaker 1: and then went to the Saints named Jason David and
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with him. So I mean when
Speaker 1: he was back on his offseason, he would train me
Speaker 1: and stuff. So that's kind of where I got my
Speaker 1: footwork and stuff and started developing into an athlete and
Speaker 1: then it just went from there. And then I mean
Speaker 1: the high school and had a good career. Got kind
Speaker 1: of overlooked because my speed. People slept on my speed.
Speaker 1: But I mean I've never been the fastest guy in
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, I'm just a football players, I
Speaker 1: like to say. So. Uh. I ended up going to
Speaker 1: San Jose State and uh, probably the biggest offer I
Speaker 1: had was Colorado, and I liked it. I went on
Speaker 1: a visit, but it was kind of far from my family.
Speaker 1: Like all the teams we played, they played at the time,
Speaker 1: they weren't in the Pac twelve, so otherwise I would
Speaker 1: have been there in a second. But then I had said,
Speaker 1: what they recruit you as they recruited me as a linebacker? Okay,
Speaker 1: is that what's saying Jo? Yeah? Yeah. But so ironic
Speaker 1: thing is coach mac Mike McIntyre, he actually was here
Speaker 1: for a little bit and um he got the job
Speaker 1: late at St. Joje State, So his last like three
Speaker 1: weeks of recruiting were like rush recruiting. He was on
Speaker 1: me hard, and I ended up like liking what he
Speaker 1: had had to say and whatnot, and we had a
Speaker 1: good class. So I ended up committing there. And then
Speaker 1: going there. And so after my junior year we went,
Speaker 1: we went eleven and two, went our bowl game and
Speaker 1: it finished up ranked and Mike McIntyre ended up getting
Speaker 1: a job at Colorado, so he him and our whole
Speaker 1: staff left and went to Colorado, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me go. So, I mean, it was it was,
Speaker 1: it hurt, but I mean when you hear what he
Speaker 1: got offered is like, it's a business. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You can't be mad at him. I'm sure
Speaker 1: at the time I was pissed and hated him his guts,
Speaker 1: but yeah, definitely, yeah. I mean I'm real cool with
Speaker 1: coach McIntyre and and that whole staff that went over there,
Speaker 1: and they pretty much turned around our whole program at
Speaker 1: Centerse State. My my freshman year we went i want
Speaker 1: to say two and two and ten some some ridiculous, terrible,
Speaker 1: and then two years later we were ranked. So, I
Speaker 1: mean we had a good group of guys, you know,
Speaker 1: Banay Ben Winker, he was over there with me, soy,
Speaker 1: I mean we're kind of leading the defense over there
Speaker 1: and had a nice low career over there, and then
Speaker 1: we try to do it again my senior year, but
Speaker 1: it was just kind of tough with the coaching change
Speaker 1: in the system and when I things just didn't really
Speaker 1: click as as good. But uh, then it went from there,
Speaker 1: did you get drafted? Undrafted? Undrafted? Where did you sign? First?
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys? This was my first man, I've been I've
Speaker 1: been blessed to stay in this system because I know
Speaker 1: plenty of people, especially in my position that's bounced around
Speaker 1: probably ten teams type stuff, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And so it's very rare to be up and down
Speaker 1: on the active roster and whatnot and not end up
Speaker 1: somewhere else, you know what I'm saying. So, I mean
Speaker 1: I was, I was very fortunate, and I always thank
Speaker 1: God for that because I mean he kind of kept
Speaker 1: my head and in the same spot, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, having not having to deal with all the
Speaker 1: off the field stuff, getting a new apartment, moving your stuff,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, family, all that. So now yeah, definitely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean right now, he they kind of help you
Speaker 1: out the first couple of weeks you here, and then
Speaker 1: I told him, I was like, you know, you get
Speaker 1: at my spot until you find a place. You gotta
Speaker 1: get out, but you gotta put a deadline on that.
Speaker 1: It'll be there afo right right right. Yeah. Now, he
Speaker 1: played linebacker in high school. College he came here, and
Speaker 1: when did did they approach you with that full back
Speaker 1: deal right away? Or how did they hundle that? You know?
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I was up and down
Speaker 1: on the actor roster. So I was always a scout
Speaker 1: team guy, you know what I'm saying. So I just
Speaker 1: try to get in where I fitted and try to
Speaker 1: help where I could. And I was doing a lot
Speaker 1: of offensive stuff and I ended up it was it
Speaker 1: started to get fun to me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I was out there getting competitive and and I
Speaker 1: was actually starting to make plays on against our defense
Speaker 1: and stuff, you know what I'm saying. And so they
Speaker 1: kind of were like like, oh okay. And then guys
Speaker 1: around me order dudes are like, well, you better chill
Speaker 1: before they switch you to that other side of IM.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna have it. So I mean, I just
Speaker 1: kept doing what I was doing. And then, uh, towards
Speaker 1: the end of my second year, they gb are running
Speaker 1: back coach. He uh came up to me, was like, hey,
Speaker 1: what you what you think you think you can handle
Speaker 1: that running back room blah blah. And I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: just put me somewhere that's gonna get me on the field,
Speaker 1: you know, right right. I didn't know that it was
Speaker 1: that serious about it, you know what I'm saying till
Speaker 1: till exit meetings. Coach Garrett was like, Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna try you out of full back blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I was like, ain't, like yeah, you know, whole
Speaker 1: different life. Yeah it was, but it was it was
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise because I got a much better
Speaker 1: opportunity on the offensive side than I did defensive side.
Speaker 1: So you found that out, like your exit interview that offseason,
Speaker 1: did to change your workouts at all? Did you have
Speaker 1: to prepare differently? You know, I didn't know what exactly
Speaker 1: what they had playing for me, so I was kind
Speaker 1: of doing both. And like I was telling y'all about
Speaker 1: my brother in law he playing the league. He actually
Speaker 1: has a really high end UH sports performance facility called
Speaker 1: Stars back in Anahem. It's close to my hometown, so
Speaker 1: whenever I go back home, I have somewhere to train
Speaker 1: and it's it's top notch level training, you know, and
Speaker 1: so like I got receiver dudes, I was working on
Speaker 1: everything basically back at home, so it was it was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Hey, So now I watch you closely man
Speaker 1: and me and brought us and uh, you bro, you'd
Speaker 1: be you'd be digging. I ain't seen this since you'd
Speaker 1: be digging folks out, bro, and uh, you don't wind
Speaker 1: up with a lot of headaches. Man. Oh man, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm alignment. I was up close, so we button. But
Speaker 1: I'm watching him come from his full back position, go
Speaker 1: around offensive guard and dig a line background out man,
Speaker 1: and you be head first a lot. Man. Yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it's just there's a little
Speaker 1: different nuances on the type of blocks you gotta do
Speaker 1: because sometimes you have no choice but to put your
Speaker 1: face in there, you know what I'm saying. And then
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta go shoulders because a lot of times
Speaker 1: linebackers will come in there just with their shoulder, so
Speaker 1: it's kind of you ain't got much surface but to
Speaker 1: just shoulders shoulder like ram, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I come come with that linebacker mentality.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to ye I'm trying to punish you too,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, How is it you now
Speaker 1: you're getting hit versus making I'm like, man, I'm still
Speaker 1: trying to get people, you know what I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 1: we had Rod Smith on the show last week or
Speaker 1: week before and he said the same thing because he
Speaker 1: played defense in high school. Yeah, and he was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I still have a defensive mentality. I still
Speaker 1: want to hit somebody right right right. I mean that's
Speaker 1: because I don't get the ball much, you know, saying
Speaker 1: what else where else I'm gonna get my So the
Speaker 1: special teams. Man, now you played kickoff punt return, You
Speaker 1: just available for anything that gets you on the field. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean but Sacha is good at that. He's he's
Speaker 1: real good at making sure that we know that the
Speaker 1: more you can do, you know what I'm saying. That
Speaker 1: Literally last year, I remember on kickoff return, I played
Speaker 1: every single spot on kickoff return except off returner and returner,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it was like it
Speaker 1: was it was just like I was thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, like it's kind of kind of sucks
Speaker 1: right a little bit, you know, the unstableness of not
Speaker 1: getting used to one position. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: now when he switches you, you comfortable because you've been
Speaker 1: there before, you know what I'm saying. And also it
Speaker 1: just gives you another depth, like when if somebody goes down,
Speaker 1: you know you could just plug somebody in like that. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one thing I've been trying to stay
Speaker 1: up on. It's just knowing as much as I can.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, hurry, Ny, we gotta get all football.
Speaker 1: I'm on. I gotta ask you question. Is this the
Speaker 1: one your body tight? You're looking right? I know where
Speaker 1: that's going for a smile, man, that special lady out there, man,
Speaker 1: talk to us. Man. I got one special lady and
Speaker 1: that's my daughter. Man. Yes, I stay faithful to her.
Speaker 1: I keep my options open, but I'm making sure that
Speaker 1: she good for all that stuff. I tell you what
Speaker 1: what what's your Instagram handle? It's at beef thirty one.
Speaker 1: Beef thirty one. Follow this man on Instagram because he
Speaker 1: has one of the best Instagram story accounts. On the
Speaker 1: key it's all about him singing in the car. Oh,
Speaker 1: you definitely gonna get a concert his daughter like you
Speaker 1: will feel like you're part of the family because his
Speaker 1: daughter is always on that? And Chipotle? What's the obsession
Speaker 1: with Chipotle? Where'd that come from? Man? Chippole? What do
Speaker 1: you How often do you eat there? People don't believe me.
Speaker 1: People don't leave me when I'm not on my male plan.
Speaker 1: They are my male plan at least two three times
Speaker 1: a day. How about you promised you I'll go in
Speaker 1: there and they'll be like, oh, you're back, and I
Speaker 1: don't say that anymore. That be like, oh, chicken ball
Speaker 1: they started? How that start? Chipotle just has been consistent
Speaker 1: for me since high school? Really, I remember I remember
Speaker 1: in high school. Uh, I forget who put me on Chipole?
Speaker 1: But I was like Chipotto, right, I was like Chipotto?
Speaker 1: What is that like? Then when in there seeing just
Speaker 1: the options and that was it. And then it came
Speaker 1: over from the Yeah, I used to go there at
Speaker 1: lunch every day and just I mean it's it's never changed.
Speaker 1: And you know for me, Chipotle, you got so many
Speaker 1: options and I've eaten that so many times. Let me
Speaker 1: just throw some uh throw something else and chicken half steak?
Speaker 1: How we got so, Kurt, do you have a question
Speaker 1: because I got one of them. I gotta get I
Speaker 1: gotta dig in the owner. You got a question, Okay,

Speaker 1: your mom? Yeah, what was that like? House full of girls?
Speaker 1: Two sisters, ten sisters and whoa Kurt got some bad Yeah. Now,
Speaker 1: I do have two immediate sisters from my mom, but

Speaker 1: it up a lot. Heck no, I had to fend
Speaker 1: for myself. I learned how to pull here because push
Speaker 1: my sisters. You never brought a date home, did you? Man? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was scared. Man, I'm scared, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But it was it was good. It really gave me

Speaker 1: tolerate them, because you know, it's a lot of emotions
Speaker 1: that Sorry, you credit your mom's worth a work ethic
Speaker 1: for really helping you growing up and even getting through
Speaker 1: all this up and down with the cowboys. Right. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Maybe you know what I'm saying, we're bringing them back
Speaker 1: and once we get Lebron. Oh you heard it here
Speaker 1: at first. So we're you a fan of all the
Speaker 1: LA teams? Growing up? Who's your football team? Honestly, I
Speaker 1: really didn't have a football team. My favorite player was
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice though growing up. Yeah, and so I really
Speaker 1: liked the nine Ers until he left and then, uh,
Speaker 1: I kind of just didn't really have a team until
Speaker 1: my brother in law came into my life and then
Speaker 1: I was a big coach fan. He played for the Coats,
Speaker 1: and then I had love for the Saints when he
Speaker 1: went to the Saints. But I've never been like a
Speaker 1: die hard specific team fan. I've always liked players Jerry
Speaker 1: Rice and then Smith because my last name is Smith.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Nate knows a little something about it, but
Speaker 1: as Lakers had, and I'm gonna bring it to you

Speaker 1: you still got homework tonight, All right, homework do it now?
Speaker 1: You don't do anything else on the show. Just type
Speaker 1: it up while we're sitting here, all right, Fellas, there's
Speaker 1: football against Sunday Cowboys versus Broncos. Nate. Get your opinion first, Yes,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win this game if they simply stay ahead
Speaker 1: of the chains. Meaning if it's first and ten you
Speaker 1: wanted to be second and five are better, you wanted
Speaker 1: to be second and five, And if it's second and
Speaker 1: five you wanted to be third and two are better.
Speaker 1: You want to stay way ahead of the chains. Normally
Speaker 1: you would say you wanted to be second and six.
Speaker 1: A four yard game would be good enough, but that
Speaker 1: one yard can be a difference between what depending on
Speaker 1: where you add on the field and what's the situation,
Speaker 1: you may be passing that down, so that keeps the
Speaker 1: defense guessing because you can pass or or you want
Speaker 1: to be able to always lean more towards you to
Speaker 1: run versus this team. That's why I said saying second
Speaker 1: and six, you want second and five, because now you
Speaker 1: need three yards to make it third and two versus
Speaker 1: four yards. So you got to stay ahead of the chains. Uh.
Speaker 1: They they they think they have a good run stopping
Speaker 1: defensive line. What we want to do is make that
Speaker 1: number thirty one. I think the named Simeon or Taylor
Speaker 1: or somebody to come up and defend that defend that
Speaker 1: extra gap because we need to be able by them
Speaker 1: having good outside corners, we want to be able to
Speaker 1: stretch them or either stress them. We want to stress them,
Speaker 1: you know, so we have to stay ahead of the chains.
Speaker 1: They they had last week, they held Philip Rivers down.
Speaker 1: They had the offense in the middle of the third
Speaker 1: quarter going into the fourth. These guys only had one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three yards a total offense. And this
Speaker 1: seems good enough to do that to anybody. Now. I
Speaker 1: know the Chargers are not that good, but they got
Speaker 1: the ability if you don't, if you mess around, they
Speaker 1: got the ability to hype it to the point where
Speaker 1: they can get you in that position through turnovers, through
Speaker 1: hits for losses. They they're good now. They solid. They're
Speaker 1: a good team. Defensively, they are solid. What else did
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to do? Stay ahead of the chains?
Speaker 1: What else? Do not turn it over at all costs? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. You're not turning over at all costs.
Speaker 1: I mean I tell people a lot of times when
Speaker 1: you play this and you hear him said yesterday, when
Speaker 1: you play a team of this nature, second and ten
Speaker 1: ain't bad. But believe it or not, second in the
Speaker 1: level turns. These turns to sharks on no negative plays.
Speaker 1: It's just whenever you give a great defense, just just
Speaker 1: a sliver they you know, it's like the great Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1: You Michael Jordan can never have never played you before.
Speaker 1: He'll go dig up something on you and decide he
Speaker 1: don't like that about you. And that's how seattles like that,
Speaker 1: Denverse like that. Just any any second and ten, that's
Speaker 1: you know, they know you may have to pass. But
Speaker 1: if it's second in the level, they turn into they
Speaker 1: oblitch you. They'll get great movement. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: turned into a different team. What Nate's saying is if
Speaker 1: you get in this situation where the defense knows it's
Speaker 1: a passing down, yes, you put a totally different package
Speaker 1: in and they let the dogs and their energy changes
Speaker 1: and the energy changes go after the about. You don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about set edge, you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about staying in your lane. It's just go. So
Speaker 1: if you've never watched and paid attention to situational football,
Speaker 1: this is a good game to do it because you'll notice,
Speaker 1: like what Nate said, if you get in a passing
Speaker 1: situation where you know they have to throw third and seven,
Speaker 1: you know two and eleven, Like, it's a whole different
Speaker 1: ball game with these these pass rushers they have. You
Speaker 1: know the thing about it, Kurt, is when you you
Speaker 1: looked at the first game, and that's why I don't
Speaker 1: say nothing the first two or three weeks too serious.
Speaker 1: All all you want after three games any team saying,
Speaker 1: you know, if we just can get two of these
Speaker 1: were in hunt. We in the hunt because everybody stopped
Speaker 1: finding their sea legs. After that, everybody start knowing who
Speaker 1: they are. You know, I got great respect for Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: and I got great respect for Joy Bows and the
Speaker 1: other kid Ingram who plays that defensive end, other outside line.
Speaker 1: But I got good respect for certain certain players. But
Speaker 1: I just don't see, and I could be wrong, and
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I don't see the Chargers being
Speaker 1: that good. You know, the way they came back in
Speaker 1: in twelve minutes, ten minutes, what they did was extra extraordinary.
Speaker 1: I just believe that we are better team than the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Our offensive line is better, running back is definitely I
Speaker 1: think better. So you know, we'll see. But we're going
Speaker 1: on the road to them. They've got a victory and
Speaker 1: they know they squeaked by. They want to show them.
Speaker 1: They want to show the fans and proved to themselves
Speaker 1: that better than that. And what better team than to
Speaker 1: do it against than a team that lays uh great offense.
Speaker 1: You know, you you you know you can, you can
Speaker 1: erase everything that sant Nigo charges did to you. By
Speaker 1: stimming the Dallas Cowboys. Well, the reason the Cowboys won
Speaker 1: beat the Giants which they controlled the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. And it goes to
Speaker 1: everything you just said. Any any game, you gotta control
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Can they do this against the
Speaker 1: Broncos not only on offense but on the defense? Now
Speaker 1: on the defensive end, you know, And I keep it real,
Speaker 1: this is this is what you have to It's a
Speaker 1: thin line for a coach because by the same token
Speaker 1: you're telling hey, hey, hey, Shannon the Beard, look here,
Speaker 1: uh man, you had a great game. You got two sacks. Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta hit for loss, you know, And then you
Speaker 1: turn around and say, but it was against the Giants.
Speaker 1: Office line that that dude went't too good. But the
Speaker 1: dudes you're playing is better. So it's a thin line
Speaker 1: of how you got to present this, you know, And
Speaker 1: it's like, you gotta build on what you did last week.
Speaker 1: You know, the guy that you played against, he was okay,
Speaker 1: he's a professional, but this guy here got a little
Speaker 1: better technique. But were expecting the same results they the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: What you have to do and if you're gonna be
Speaker 1: a championship team and you're gonna be a team that
Speaker 1: when when ten or more games every year, your defense
Speaker 1: has to travel when when nothing else travels, your defense
Speaker 1: have to travel. Uh That Seattle, Denver, New England, Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: stillers even even in their down years, that your defense
Speaker 1: has to be what carries you. Offense. That's great, but
Speaker 1: your defense have to carry you because when you go
Speaker 1: on the road, it's cold. When you go on the
Speaker 1: road and it's raining, and you know, you may have
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can't grow up the ball as well,
Speaker 1: you may have receivers that don't catch us well in
Speaker 1: the cold, and it does happen. Hitting somebody man makes
Speaker 1: you feel, you know what I'm saying, So that you
Speaker 1: you want to be you want to be ready, defense
Speaker 1: travels man, you want to be warm. Yeah, Nate's given
Speaker 1: us a couple of a couple of keys to cowboys victories.
Speaker 1: Stay ahead of the chains, keep them guessing on on
Speaker 1: what you're doing passing, stay in staying situations where you
Speaker 1: can pass or run, don't turn the ball over, hold
Speaker 1: onto the ball. What's a couple of keys to victory
Speaker 1: for you? Well, it's hard to darky than what he
Speaker 1: just said, I mean, I can't wait, wait, you can't
Speaker 1: take Nate's point. I make something up. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage thing like, I don't have to
Speaker 1: make this stop beer. I just said line of scrimmage. Fool.
Speaker 1: Did you not hear? But you know, and we mentioned
Speaker 1: it some yesterday. I'd like to see you bringing the worst.
Speaker 1: I bring it clowns this Normally it's just him tim okay,
Speaker 1: only to the kids. Yeah, I would like to see
Speaker 1: uh DS do something inst that secondary. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying I do think that Zeke's the key they got
Speaker 1: to run the y is awesome. Yea. He's had trouble
Speaker 1: before with tough quarterbacks and there's a couple of tough
Speaker 1: ones on the Broncos. I'd really like to see him produce.
Speaker 1: You know, in this game they need him to produce.
Speaker 1: Do you think and we talked about this, that's real, bro.
Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna try to try too hard
Speaker 1: to get him involved early? I think they should no, no,
Speaker 1: even going against a couple of corners like this. You
Speaker 1: think if they take him out of the game and
Speaker 1: he doesn't get any targets in the first quarter, he's
Speaker 1: gonna check out. No, he's not gonna check out. Pick
Speaker 1: your spots. I mean, don't force it. Let me ask
Speaker 1: you this right here every time, and I'm giving you
Speaker 1: the as every time they thought, Daz the ball nine
Speaker 1: out of ten times? What route is it? It's a
Speaker 1: deep one. I mean he's down the sideline, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Don't you think they know that? I mean, if I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there saying, okay, and guess what past he called
Speaker 1: is when he did a little wiggle came across the middle.
Speaker 1: That's the past he called. That's something he did totally.
Speaker 1: And that's what I tell people when they ain't dumb either. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw like each quarter they're gonna throw one
Speaker 1: deep one of days. Be ready and you play that.
Speaker 1: And then when you do something different, all of a
Speaker 1: sudden the cornerback on the ground, or lose he loses leverage.
Speaker 1: What Williams t Williams he was running different angles, different deals.
Speaker 1: He called six seven passes that you know, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: the only thing you can count on to be almost
Speaker 1: as sure thing if you're good at it. Slants like
Speaker 1: Mike Irvin, he knew how to catch that slant, you
Speaker 1: know how to catch it with the league when it
Speaker 1: want to nobody in there. He'll peek in there and
Speaker 1: ain't nobody in there. He'll see where where the where
Speaker 1: the safety can't get him quick enough, or the line
Speaker 1: outside linebacker can't get him quick enough, for the middle
Speaker 1: linebacker can't get it, and he'll catch it with a
Speaker 1: league way and run. He'll see old. If I go
Speaker 1: up in there, I gotta catch it with my body
Speaker 1: and cradle and turn my body and catch it with
Speaker 1: my body. You know, he was smart like that. Because
Speaker 1: Cowboys have that guy. Now somebody will get in there
Speaker 1: and run the slant. I think there could be that guy.
Speaker 1: But the slant is so dangerous, and you got to
Speaker 1: have a guy, you know. Nor Altorney us to tell Mike, Mike,
Speaker 1: we gotta you know what, we gotta call you gotta
Speaker 1: give it up for the team, and Mike like, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: You know, because on certain downs, certain teams give you
Speaker 1: certain plays and for some reason, on certain downs they
Speaker 1: would give him. They would just give us that, but
Speaker 1: they knew that you had to pay a price. That
Speaker 1: linebacker was gonna give you that because they're gonna give
Speaker 1: him a free shot to split your wig, and so
Speaker 1: Mike was ready for it. A lot of people ain't
Speaker 1: ready for that. I wouldn't be ready. My big key
Speaker 1: to the game is really it's two things, but they
Speaker 1: kind of play off each other. One is the Broncos.
Speaker 1: We know have a great defense. Combat their defense with
Speaker 1: your defense. Bring the pressure because what I saw the
Speaker 1: other night when they played the Chargers is when Simeon
Speaker 1: gets happy feet, he can make some mistakes. He gets
Speaker 1: the ball out quick, so you gotta get to him fast.
Speaker 1: The other part of that is control the ball. Run Zeke,
Speaker 1: run Zeke every play if you need to control the clock,
Speaker 1: keep the offense on the field. Beat that defense down
Speaker 1: where I'm out to where when you get to the
Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter they're so beat up and Zeke's
Speaker 1: run all over them to where you can't open up
Speaker 1: the passing game a little bit with with with this
Speaker 1: kid Simeon, you have to hit him though. You have
Speaker 1: to hit him because he is a movement quarterback, a
Speaker 1: tall guy, he's a he's a linking, linking why are
Speaker 1: we guy, He's the type of guy that you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta hit him, you know, because they don't mind
Speaker 1: rolling him out. He don't mind moving around, asked Joey Boza.
Speaker 1: You know, he don't mind moving around. But it's the
Speaker 1: it's the contact the quarterbacks don't like. It's that it's
Speaker 1: that contact of when they when they can't follow through,
Speaker 1: you hurry him and they can't follow through, so you
Speaker 1: gotta hit him, you know. Uh. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you another thing. If they can just make early in
Speaker 1: the game, don't let him run. If you can just
Speaker 1: stop c J Anderson, Jamal Chap I mean, just cold blooded.
Speaker 1: If you can just stop him now you now now, uh,
Speaker 1: you got a chance to make him one dimension, make
Speaker 1: him eat you with the buts. What what scares me
Speaker 1: is what scares me is no no Scandred, Anthony Brown,
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll O Woozier, Samuel's Thomas, them do them dudes
Speaker 1: can play, Emmanuel Sanders, Demarrius Thomas, them dudes can play,
Speaker 1: and they can run routes. If you watch the film,
Speaker 1: and I would say this yesterday, if you watch them
Speaker 1: a lot of times that kid was getting hit and
Speaker 1: then and and it's like he threw it before they
Speaker 1: was coming out of their brakes and they was right
Speaker 1: there and that that right there. That's dangerous because our
Speaker 1: guys and this is the smoking mirrors thing that you
Speaker 1: gotta be careful of. And this is why I say
Speaker 1: Rob Marinelli is working gotta rid He's working his magic
Speaker 1: of letting these guys know that, Yeah, she played well,
Speaker 1: but what you're facing this week, it's way better, way
Speaker 1: better than what you faced last week. Let's let's go
Speaker 1: to the other side of of the of the coin.
Speaker 1: The Broncos win. If Kurt you started off well, if
Speaker 1: they shut down the passing game, I mean, we don't
Speaker 1: have so much the passing game, but I guess even
Speaker 1: more specifically, if von Miller goes nuts, yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a rough night pretty much. If Vaughan, Yeah, if
Speaker 1: they shut down the run game and they go into
Speaker 1: a pass mode, if they get behind and they go
Speaker 1: into a pad mode, that leads von Miller and the
Speaker 1: other kid, uh she killed Barrett to get turned loose,
Speaker 1: and they got a guy named Wolf and they got
Speaker 1: a uh, Brandon Marshall linebacker. You know, you don't want
Speaker 1: to cut them guys losing in. They got a little
Speaker 1: safety blitz they'll bring up every night and then too.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you what's what's amazing, man, it's
Speaker 1: uh they win. If C. J. Anderson rushed for over
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, man, boom, Yeah, CJ. Anderson rushed for
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards. That takes the safety out of
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. And now Brown and a
Speaker 1: Woozier and Nolan Carroll got to deal with these guys
Speaker 1: all over the field, you know that. But isolates those Yeah,
Speaker 1: it isolates those guys. You you last week, man, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, they like, just keep these guys in front
Speaker 1: of us. They ain't ain't even the kid. They just
Speaker 1: keep them in front of me, right, you know? And
Speaker 1: so this week here the marriage Thomas can take you deep.
Speaker 1: Manuel Sanders can definitely quick as a hiccup. Bro. You
Speaker 1: know what the best part of this game is this week?
Speaker 1: What's that? Well? One, it's the second week of the
Speaker 1: NFL Sea it's just a game. But I really liked
Speaker 1: this game because the Cowboys that played one game and
Speaker 1: you still don't know what they are, right, and you
Speaker 1: don't know what they played right. This week, you know
Speaker 1: what they're playing right. You know they're playing one of
Speaker 1: the better defenses in the league. You know what this
Speaker 1: defense is in the defense. They don't hide what they are.
Speaker 1: It's like, this is what we're gonna do stop us.
Speaker 1: The Giants defense is pretty tough. Yeah, but we think yeah,
Speaker 1: but to see the thing is, I mean, but the
Speaker 1: progress played the Chargers. We're not sure, but see we
Speaker 1: two man, we don't know for sure, but but we know.
Speaker 1: This is what we do know is that we gotta
Speaker 1: tallenge to the offense. And they got a talented defense.
Speaker 1: We knew that last week against the Giants. But this
Speaker 1: is what makes it nice. Their offense had great success,
Speaker 1: our defense had great success. Who are the more real
Speaker 1: of the two? Right? You know? And I think that's
Speaker 1: what you're going in. The more real of the two?
Speaker 1: Uh is what the offense for uh? Denver? What they
Speaker 1: did against what the Chargers the first half, the first
Speaker 1: three quarters was that what we're gonna get Sunday or
Speaker 1: we're gonna get that fourth quarter bronchos, you know, when
Speaker 1: they didn't do nothing. Where where Ingram and I want
Speaker 1: to say the kid names Ingram and Joey Bolsa took over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and so where literally played that injury report
Speaker 1: where you know, we got to find out out tomorrow
Speaker 1: where's literally adding the concussion protocol because he is a
Speaker 1: difference maker for them. He plays right guard, and they
Speaker 1: got another dude that they got out of free agency.
Speaker 1: And Curtsey, if the practice the practice reports come out yet,
Speaker 1: you haven't today. Yeah, literally did not practice yes yesterday, yesterday.
Speaker 1: So I tell you late, try here man. C J.
Speaker 1: Anderson is healthy and they believe in it. And he
Speaker 1: earned in that game. He was a factor. And and
Speaker 1: if he rushed for one hundred and ten hundred fifteen
Speaker 1: yards on say like twenty five carries, I mean the
Speaker 1: Cowboys ain't doing what they need to do, man. And see,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the Marcus Lawrence. I'm looking for a
Speaker 1: little bit more out of Tyrone Crawford this week. Malie
Speaker 1: Collins and Steven Pier continue to be yourselves. And this
Speaker 1: is where I want missus charging to be a little
Speaker 1: bit more. I want to Taper to be a little
Speaker 1: bit more. And I'm talking versus the run because they
Speaker 1: are play action team just like us. C Janison is
Speaker 1: doing what you gotta do. They're a boot and waggle
Speaker 1: team too. That they that where they had a potential
Speaker 1: to be a boot and waggle team. Too, just like us.
Speaker 1: You know, their quarterback ain't small, he just he's just
Speaker 1: a lean guy. He's like sixty three two twenty and
Speaker 1: he probably read it six six two and a half,
Speaker 1: you know in two ten, two fifteen. Oh look, he's
Speaker 1: like Kurt size. You thump him and flop against that wall.
Speaker 1: I wish you'all six two, but you still on the tackle.
Speaker 1: Let's take our second break of the day. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna just give it to Kurt and

Speaker 1: Kurt Dan. Hello, Shannon re Beer. We are here at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. You don't have to put up
Speaker 1: with us too much longer. Hey, you know what, I
Speaker 1: love you, Josh. I mean, oh, we missed Josh. Hey, No,
Speaker 1: you don't know the reason I did that because you
Speaker 1: told him to. Ye, man, I was in a certain grade.
Speaker 1: I have my imaginary friend, so I gotta imagine your
Speaker 1: friend named Josh. I wanted to scream. Was like, wow,
Speaker 1: my mom actually worried about me. Took me to the
Speaker 1: doctor and asked him if she should be worried and
Speaker 1: they were like no, no, especially with only children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot. Wasn't the doctor, they yeah, it was what
Speaker 1: was not the psychiatrist? It was a doctor. I was
Speaker 1: a voodoo woman. You know what. She she tried to
Speaker 1: call in the other day. Yeah. I texted her and
Speaker 1: told her too, she said she she called and called
Speaker 1: and it was busy and busy, and then it rang
Speaker 1: and it just kept ringing. What stuck I was doing
Speaker 1: in there? I don't know. So she's gonna call back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That ought to be fun with football football questions. Mama
Speaker 1: sh Yabby, Mama Gross said, I'm a girl, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like it. So we kind of we skipped around
Speaker 1: with Keith laughed earlier. But I want to talk a
Speaker 1: little bit more about Keith and having a fullback in
Speaker 1: this offense and what it does for Zeke or whoever
Speaker 1: else is back there, Nate, what what is having And
Speaker 1: you you said he gets in there and he really
Speaker 1: digs those linebackers out, and I'm sure him playing on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, he sees it different
Speaker 1: than than a lot of guys that have only been
Speaker 1: offense their whole lives. They know where the mic is,
Speaker 1: where the where the sam is, and where these guys
Speaker 1: are gonna move based off of what formation they're in,
Speaker 1: depending on whether they bring a safety or not. If
Speaker 1: they bring a safety up, then he's just another man
Speaker 1: that's blocking another. If they don't, it gives you an
Speaker 1: extra double team somewhere because you can isolate a linebacker.
Speaker 1: Now either you can isolate a down line with a
Speaker 1: trap block by him, and then you can double somewhere
Speaker 1: else because you got an extra man when you you
Speaker 1: played with one of the best fullbacks to ever play
Speaker 1: the game in Moose, Jos Moose and one of if
Speaker 1: not the best, you know halfback to play the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Emmett. How much of emmett sis tess throughout the
Speaker 1: years were because he had such a great fullback leading
Speaker 1: the way for it. You know, it gets to the
Speaker 1: point where some running backs a truly go off of
Speaker 1: their fullbacks. Uh. A lot a lot of running backs
Speaker 1: running and the fullback messes them up because they see
Speaker 1: the whole different. But when you get a fullback that
Speaker 1: can see it from what his running back perspective is now,
Speaker 1: then concert Now you set up blocks. You know, like
Speaker 1: when he digged somebody out to hit the shoulder, Zeke
Speaker 1: know just how to jump and spin get out or
Speaker 1: jump around or do whatever he got to do, or
Speaker 1: just keep plowing forward depending on what his fullback. Dude,
Speaker 1: so uh a fullback and a lot of our times
Speaker 1: a fullback, you know, we will check to a pass
Speaker 1: and Daryl clean up a miss block somebody was to
Speaker 1: get a quick escape on the down line, and Darrel
Speaker 1: smarted to to pick that block up. So and that'll
Speaker 1: see a free him to get out of the back
Speaker 1: feet on the swing pass or something. So a fullback invaluable. Man.
Speaker 1: If he's good, and this guy's good, he's good. Man.
Speaker 1: You know how many teams have fullback? I was gonna
Speaker 1: ask that was the next question if we had any
Speaker 1: idea how this is not official, But I came up
Speaker 1: with nineteen of the thirty two teams had fullbacks. Wow.
Speaker 1: And how many of the top ten you listed yesterday
Speaker 1: I don't have fullbacks? How many heat? Wow? And the
Speaker 1: two the doorback is still to the donors Detroit? Who
Speaker 1: you know? We questions? Really a contender by Philadelphia? What? Man?
Speaker 1: But the others, all those other top teams all have fullbacks.
Speaker 1: You be weird a Filly man. I can't even mention
Speaker 1: Philly without I'm gonna tell you something many Philly, Uh,
Speaker 1: I am? I would they have done? I mean within
Speaker 1: two years they have wiped out ever And I think
Speaker 1: this guy was one of the greatest college coaches, the
Speaker 1: coach of the Oregon. I think what he did that
Speaker 1: was so tremendous. I thought he would be a super
Speaker 1: NFL coach. He disappointed me. Man, why why does the
Speaker 1: college game not translate to the pro game? Because you
Speaker 1: have to think as a professional. What's that mean? I
Speaker 1: mean you have to know plays, you have to know schemes.
Speaker 1: In college, you don't have to know. You can just
Speaker 1: be the best athlete and there and they and they
Speaker 1: can make it where you can win. I mean as
Speaker 1: far as from the coaching position, like coaches that try
Speaker 1: to transition from college, like like Chip Kelly, like you know,
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, like spur because he thought Nick Saban didn't
Speaker 1: want to build a pro coach. He would could have
Speaker 1: been one of the best, but he didn't want to
Speaker 1: be uh coach thought he could bring that that that
Speaker 1: that don't work. What he's doing don't work. It just
Speaker 1: it just did not work at the Gimmick offense. But
Speaker 1: Jimmy worked because Jimmy. What people didn't understand is Jimmy
Speaker 1: Jimmy like the coverages they ran and college well good
Speaker 1: against certain things. Then he like, man, this coverage don't
Speaker 1: work against this, this and this, It worked every time.
Speaker 1: And because he had superior athletes, Well, now you run
Speaker 1: against superior to the best of the best. So he
Speaker 1: did that. He brought he brought a guy, and he learned. Okay,
Speaker 1: he did coverages, He learned the difference in the coverages.
Speaker 1: He was willing to make adjustments to the program pro
Speaker 1: game if it benefited him being a better coach and
Speaker 1: a but a better team. A lot of college coach
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, well, well you ain't got the
Speaker 1: best no more, broyh And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: those two they're not used to. I mean, they're like
Speaker 1: God in college, those poor kids, it's their their word.
Speaker 1: You know, they're wearing the highway. When you get to
Speaker 1: the pros, some of these guys will be like, you know,
Speaker 1: that don't work. That don't work. So it's overall the
Speaker 1: kind of culture that comes from. And you know Pete Carroll,
Speaker 1: the first time he went went pro was with the Jets,
Speaker 1: and that didn't work out. But then it worked out
Speaker 1: okay with Seattle well when he went to the NFL.
Speaker 1: But even when he left the Jets, Pete Carroll was
Speaker 1: a good pro coach, but he just didn't a lot
Speaker 1: of times you don't be giving opportunities. I just don't
Speaker 1: think no coach should be hired without the ability to
Speaker 1: have four years, not a contract for four years, but
Speaker 1: given a four year what he can do four years
Speaker 1: at that at that one spot. You know, people with
Speaker 1: us giving up a lot of you. If you get
Speaker 1: in a college coach, I mean a pure college coach,
Speaker 1: you got to give him an opportunity to see if
Speaker 1: he really wants to be a pro coach, because it
Speaker 1: is different. You can't you're gonna have five dummies running
Speaker 1: down the field a wide receiver literally in college. You
Speaker 1: can't have five dumbies in the NFL running down because
Speaker 1: if you have a smart quarterback, now you're sending yourself
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in there life. Wow. And none of these dudes
Speaker 1: ran it right right, So you guess you're guessing at
Speaker 1: where you got to throw the ball and come up interception.
Speaker 1: You know you don't want to call you receive out,
Speaker 1: so now you you you you don't through twenty five
Speaker 1: interceptions and eighteen of them because the guy ran the
Speaker 1: wrong router didn't know where to be, I didn't care
Speaker 1: to be there. I think that's a part of the
Speaker 1: game that that most people don't realize. A lot of
Speaker 1: guys that aren't in the league or superior athletes. Yes,
Speaker 1: you have all the tools, but you have to beat now.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be book smart, and you don't
Speaker 1: have to have a high IQ. You've got to be
Speaker 1: football smart. Yeah, and you have to be real freaking smart.
Speaker 1: And some of these positions offensive linemen to remember these schemes.
Speaker 1: You know how thick their playbook is. It's insane. Quarterback,
Speaker 1: you have to be really smart. And some of these
Speaker 1: guys coming from college have all the talent in the world,
Speaker 1: and you wonder why, you know, why they're not in
Speaker 1: the league. A lot of people don't realize how football
Speaker 1: smart you have to be to just get the game
Speaker 1: at the pro level. Some teams have a you know,
Speaker 1: they they do a regardless. They they they keep a
Speaker 1: bunch of those type guys, regardless, and some teams just
Speaker 1: don't tolerate like nah and I give you old remember
Speaker 1: old soul sinks Join Johnson, Okay, Cincinnati, he was the man.
Speaker 1: How long did you laugh with the Patriots? Uh? Not
Speaker 1: one season? Maybe if that he didn't make the whole season?
Speaker 1: Did he much more after the first as long as
Speaker 1: he wrote, I remember the first game, I remember the
Speaker 1: first game, he said, Uh, And he he was with
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and he made a statement, Uh, man, man,
Speaker 1: way they operate now, I don't think he caught a
Speaker 1: pass man the way they operate. And Teddy Brucey gave
Speaker 1: him away the next day because he was in the
Speaker 1: booth for the ESPN. Yeah, yes, he said, well, if
Speaker 1: you learn your plays called him straight out. I mean
Speaker 1: we you know, we've been you know what's called off.
Speaker 1: I always liked him, Belichick has always liked you're thinking
Speaker 1: always man. If I ever get a chance to get
Speaker 1: him on and get it, well he got it and
Speaker 1: come to find out duh, I mean and believe in
Speaker 1: and to see one thing about it Now, I want
Speaker 1: the smartest cookie on the block. I wonder I wonder
Speaker 1: the one first cookie coming off the cookie cutter either,
Speaker 1: you know. But I learned quick that you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta learn the basics. You gotta learn something if you
Speaker 1: want to be competitive and uh and let your athletic
Speaker 1: ability to show. You gotta be able to learn something.
Speaker 1: You gotta know how to split somebody's wig. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: much time you think per week you spent in the
Speaker 1: play studying in the playbook, man, Once we got the
Speaker 1: plays down, because we had a simple playbook. Once you
Speaker 1: got the plays down. He was just adjusting to the
Speaker 1: different defensive fronts. And you know, everybody runs two or
Speaker 1: three different multiple everybody back when I played and run
Speaker 1: multiple fronts like you'll see some teams. Boy, they're lined
Speaker 1: up all kind of crazy ways and and we have
Speaker 1: to worry about them. Was playing it still still as
Speaker 1: was one of the teams its own blitzed and did
Speaker 1: all the crazy things. And the Caroline of Pounthers did
Speaker 1: all that. But normally the Redskins, uh oh yeah. In
Speaker 1: the Eagles with the old coach, I think he's passed away.
Speaker 1: Great defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan. No, no another guy, uh
Speaker 1: Johnson Johnson, Yeah, missed the coach Johnson. He he would
Speaker 1: mix things up pretty well with the Eagles. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: are you smiling? Kurt? Going over some notes? I apologize,
Speaker 1: I come, no, no, what are they funny? Now? You
Speaker 1: can't smile? You can't smile. Let's you tell us now
Speaker 1: it's completely off the off. No, we only have a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left. Let's go off. I thought there's
Speaker 1: in today's In Jason Garrett's press conference, they talk about that.
Speaker 1: They did ask about the altitude again, and they asked
Speaker 1: about Jason Witten as the modern mystery. That was the
Speaker 1: other one thing. One of the reporters asked, we all
Speaker 1: know Bob lad mister cowboy, but would you consider Witten
Speaker 1: the modern day uh huh? And Garrett's response was, he
Speaker 1: said a lot, but main one was wit and fits
Speaker 1: into the conversation with all those first first time he
Speaker 1: say witt and fits into the conversation with all of
Speaker 1: those guys, those all of those greats, but those that
Speaker 1: was the first, the first names he said, where first
Speaker 1: you're talking about Bob and a guy like Roger Stabat
Speaker 1: And he gave them the credit due and then he
Speaker 1: gave Witten the credit exactly what I meant, Well, I
Speaker 1: wasn't say like that. You did not say it like that, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: A lot of times stuff comes out of my mouth
Speaker 1: before my brain. We'll be back in directly. I thought
Speaker 1: that they literally brought up do you think he's the
Speaker 1: modern day mister cowboys? They listened to the show. You
Speaker 1: notice that they had to say modern day because because
Speaker 1: everybody that is a real Cowboy fan, it's true blue
Speaker 1: to the game, even the babies that we're born today.
Speaker 1: Their mama's are saying, Lily, you want to know something
Speaker 1: else that's funny. When I was waiting on all the
Speaker 1: guys to come out of practice, Cheeto walked by and
Speaker 1: I said, you ready for this weekend? You're ready to
Speaker 1: go back? He's like, oh yeah. Man. I was like,
Speaker 1: is that altitude gonna mess with you now that you've
Speaker 1: been gone? No? No, no, I'm still good. I'm good.
Speaker 1: He goes, I might, I might go. I might go
Speaker 1: for a little run just to test it out, just
Speaker 1: to make sure. And I was like, okay, all right.
Speaker 1: I had to throw that in there so I could
Speaker 1: bring that. And also, I think it was Eric that
Speaker 1: wanted us to ask Dan Bailey about to kickoff. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen him yet, Okay, oh that's cool. So as
Speaker 1: soon as I see him, it's still on my are
Speaker 1: and we're taking fan calls tomorrow. By the way, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: big time. We might even do the whole show with nothing.
Speaker 1: The more the Mary Mom's gonna call in, Oh that's
Speaker 1: not my mom is gonna be gross. I mean, some
Speaker 1: some stuff happened since I've been back home with my mom. Change.
Speaker 1: Why don't she gotta call in now? Tuck this into
Speaker 1: your pocket. But think of a list of pro coaches
Speaker 1: who went to college and did well the opposite, right,
Speaker 1: that's tough too. And also I think Dennis Green transitioned
Speaker 1: well from so we had one. They went to the
Speaker 1: Bama Oh yeah, yep, yeah, that's Miles. You know, well,
Speaker 1: I mean head coaches really is what I'm really talking about.
Speaker 1: Jean was head coach. L Yeah, he was with the
Speaker 1: Cardinal you talking about, Oh you talking about they left
Speaker 1: head coaching music and went back head coach for NFL
Speaker 1: down to college. Okay, but yeah, Stallings still count. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Miles wasn't. He was a tight end coach. You like
Speaker 1: my Cowboys Fit polo that I got it is that
Speaker 1: Sharp had to do an on airpiece for one of
Speaker 1: their trainers over there next door by the way. Cowboys
Speaker 1: Fit is part of the Star and it's a public
Speaker 1: gym that you can buy memberships too, and it's one
Speaker 1: of the nicest gems I've ever been in. One of
Speaker 1: their trainers that they've had since they opened. One of
Speaker 1: his clients was the head trainer for the New York Knicks.
Speaker 1: His wife and he got he gave her the New
Speaker 1: York Knicks the basketball team the New York some degrees
Speaker 1: of separation right there, the head trainer for the New
Speaker 1: York Knicks. His wife was a client at Okay, this
Speaker 1: guy's here in Dallas. He gave her his resume. He's
Speaker 1: going to work for the New York Knicks to be
Speaker 1: one of their trainers. Isn't that a cool story? Wow?
Speaker 1: So yeah, we did a little segment over in the
Speaker 1: studio investigative reporting. Yeah, yeah, So you guys got anything
Speaker 1: else you want to talk about. In the last minute
Speaker 1: or two, Nate's like, Nate's like, we don't gone to
Speaker 1: the gym next door. I'll be looking at I'll be
Speaker 1: looking at you, man. Sometimes Nate, if you don't watch
Speaker 1: watch us live, sometimes Nate just puts his head down
Speaker 1: on the desk. It just shakes his head or puts
Speaker 1: his head in his hand and shakes his head and
Speaker 1: he's just like, hey, whatever. Sometimes the audience knows this.
Speaker 1: You guys don't know it. But sometimes when Nate has
Speaker 1: just a look at disbelief at something you were saying
Speaker 1: or I'm saying, or Kurt saying, I'll just switch the
Speaker 1: camera so it's only looking at Nate. You can see,
Speaker 1: but it knows what kind of idiots we are. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what, man Keith, Keith was impressive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a good dude. He was impressive. He got a
Speaker 1: good head on his shoulders. Man got you know, six times.
Speaker 1: We should have got a wah wah wah. Oh my man, Kurt,
Speaker 1: I love you, Kurt. You should have got a wild
Speaker 1: wa you got two sisters at eight more? Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: starts with the tea. Yeah, ends with an end, say
Speaker 1: six times what he was called up and down and
Speaker 1: before he finally made the roster. So I mean it's impressive,
Speaker 1: that is. And you don't like through what I liked
Speaker 1: about what he said, put me wherever I got a
Speaker 1: chance to get on the field, Like not selfish at all, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I might want to play this position, but
Speaker 1: if I'm going to get out there, and it's got
Speaker 1: to be special teams, let me contribute to the team.
Speaker 1: He wants that active roster paycheck. Well that too, probably
Speaker 1: a little bit to do with it. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: did he just put a damper on what on something
Speaker 1: good to Hey? Oh no, no, that's a good incentive.
Speaker 1: You know, how wrong with that? How we have a
Speaker 1: cough button in here. We need to have a Douglas button.
Speaker 1: Just hid it and he's not allowed to say anything
Speaker 1: that goes out over there. Hey, I think that's an
Speaker 1: admirable quality to want to be on get an active
Speaker 1: roster paycheck? Are you showing me that? That's the picture
Speaker 1: that only had two of his ten sisters in a
Speaker 1: his mom, Keith and two sisters. Did did you read?
