Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of The Break. Today is gonna

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: be an exciting show. Hopefully. We have a lot of

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: things to talk about. We're gonna break down the Buccaneers offense.

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna do some updates on the injuries. We're gonna

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: start off with the Pro Bowl the NFL. Oh yeah, yeah,

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: that happened last night. Last night, the NFL announced the

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl guys, five of them being the Cowboys, Byron Jones,

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith, Sick Martin Zeke, Marcus Lawrence. First impressions, were

15
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: any of these comments or surprise for you guys? Were

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: you surprised? Yes, there's a couple of yeses. I'm absolutely

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: surprised that Byron Jones made the Pro Bowl in a

18
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: good way and shocked at a way to put it.

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: He should be there. He has had a phenomenal season.

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: He's been locking guys down all year and it's really

21
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: encouraging that that got noticed because he doesn't have any interceptions.

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a really encouraging sign that people

23
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: are paying attention and even if they're not watching the games,

24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: they're doing their research. At least I didn't. I didn't

25
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: go back to the entire league. I didn't have enough time,

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 1: but I did go back the entire Cowboys franchise history,

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: and no defensive back has ever made the Pro Bowl

28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: without getting a pick. So I mean, that's just what happens.

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: But I think Dave said it best. I mean the

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: fact that you're you're starting to see stats that aren't

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: just about getting interceptions. But I mean he's had a

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: couple of opportunities, you know he has, But I mean

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: for the most parties, he does his job. And that's

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: it's a lot like offensive line play. Like if you're

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: not paying close attention, there's not a lot of stats

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: that can tell you, but I do. Yeah, I mean

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: we said that yesterday. I think it's a it speaks

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: to the rise of analytics and football that you know,

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Pro Football focus and there you know there's these companies

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: that chart every play and they can give you a

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: greade for how you're covering your guy. There's bloggers out

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: there that are putting gifts of the All twenty two

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter for people to look at. And you know,

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: even if you're not watching the Cowboys every week, you're

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: seeing what he's doing. I think that matters, Yeah, but

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: not that played a role in him getting the nod.

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: And I think the other thing that consider here is

48
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are I mean, I'm not the Cowboys,

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: but the league is doing a third of the votes

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: come from players, a third of votes come from coaches,

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: third of votes come from fans. I think the more

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: that players and coaches are kind of thinking about it

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: and thinking about who do we play that was tough,

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: and who who gave us a problem and who really

55
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: played well, and they don't they don't necessarily look at

56
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: the numbers necessarily to make their decisions. They're based on

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: who do we play that was tough? And I think

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: that's probably a big nod to the fact that teams

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: that have played the Cowboys have probably come out of

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: that game thinking that cornerback's pretty good. And so I

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: think I like you said, Dave, I was. I was

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: shocked by it, but I was pleasantly shocked because I

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: thought that he's played extremely well and I was very

64
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: happy to see that it didn't have to come down

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: to just interceptions, because a good cornerback can be a

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: good cornerback regardless of whether he gets interceptions. Not be nice,

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: It would be nice, and that's one of the knocks

68
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: on this defense is they don't get enough turnovers, so

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: it would be really nice if he could get it.

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: But I still will say that, especially when you look

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: at where he was a year ago this time. I mean,

72
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: it is a great story of what he's turned into

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: here this year. You know, I'll be honest. When I

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: saw Byron Jones name, I'm like, oh, that's great. It

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: wasn't so much as a surprise as the surprise I

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: felt personally when I saw Tyrn Smith's name, because I mean,

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: there's no denying his talents and what he still is,

78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: but in our eyes, what he's done this season a

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: lot of struggles, and it's just refreshing to see what

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: everyone else around the league thinks of him and sees

81
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: sees him. Ask. Yeah, me and Nick and I had

82
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: a healthy back and forth about that last night. I mean,

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: it's a testament to how good of a player he is.

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he has has been well you're well, he's

85
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: still a good player. No, no no, I'm saying, but it's

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: also a test yet player. He has been absolutely effortlessly dominant.

87
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: That he has played pretty good this season and that's

88
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: still good enough to be in the Pro Bowl. And

89
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, to your point, I mean, you know, Tron

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Armstead with the Saints has had a great season. I thought,

91
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't think Andrew Whitworth made it, and that surprised me.

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: He's been really good or maybe he's the backup or alternate.

93
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: But there aren't a lot of other you know, at

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: least in the NFC, Like you're not looking around like

95
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: in there who's tackle in New Orleans to Armstead? Yea um,

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: but there there's not a long list of other guys

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: you know that that Tyrant beat out. And so I'm

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: sitting here like he really hasn't played up to his standard,

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: which I still believe, but that that's how good his

100
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: standard is, that he's still a Pro bowler having yeah,

101
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: arguably his worst this is his worst season since he

102
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: started making Pro Bowls, I think, and he's still playing

103
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: like a boss, so good for him. Was there anyone

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: that you feel that was kind of left out that

105
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: you think would have been deserving? You know. I know

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot of fans are gonna probably say Layton vander

107
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: esh but but Keikley and Wagner are really really good

108
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: and you just can't jump into to that spot. And

109
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: it's just it's gonna be it's gonna be hard to

110
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: do that. I know, back and then back in the day,

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: or Lacker you know, had had all the you know,

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: or Lacker had the spot every year, you know, and

113
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: then it's just hard to jump in there. So it's

114
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. But when you look at snubs

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: around the league, way more really good players were getting

116
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: snubbed than the Cowboys. I you know, I there's some

117
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: there's some guys like Kamara and and and then Leonard

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: from the Colts and Juju Schuster, yeah, or Smith Schuster.

119
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: But I think when you do that, though, you gotta

120
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: say who's a guy that should be out? Because I

121
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: agree with you, there were some snubs. I'm having a

122
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: hard time figuring out where Kamara gets. Kamara gets in,

123
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: he gets in on the A team, right, he can't

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: put him, but you can't put him on the NFC.

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he think he's ANFC guy. I don't think

126
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: this is one of those years where they might have

127
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: to reconsider is this the best option? Again? I mean,

128
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: I know the NBA toys with it every single year.

129
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Is the NFC versus AFC really the best option for

130
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls? Because you got running backs like McCaffrey and

131
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: Kamara that and you knew this was gonna be a

132
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: problem because Girly, Barkley and Zeke all needed to be in.

133
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: I heard someone say this, uh, I think it was

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: this morning. I thought that's actually a good idea. You know,

135
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: they have some of these specialty positions that they that

136
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: they put in the Pro Bowl. Now, why don't they

137
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: put in kind of that um, you know, they call

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: him a joker, but it's kind of that running back

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: because people like Kamara and McCaffrey for sure, like that's

140
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: made for guys like that that aren't necessarily your best

141
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: running back, but you look at all their skills all

142
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: the way around. I mean they are they certainly deserve

143
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: a not to be at the Pro Bowl, and fans

144
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: would love to see him at the Pro Bowl and

145
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: the Probo. You're right, the Pro Bowl would be a

146
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: great spot to have those guests out there. Cowboy wise though,

147
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: to answer your question, I mean Layton m I bet you.

148
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: And I was told by someone that might kind of

149
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: know that he thinks Jalen and Layton would be alternates

150
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: and he shouldn't know. He should actually know if they

151
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: are or not, and I would imagine that they are.

152
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: The problem is is I don't Carolina and Seattle is

153
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: not going to be in the Super Bowl, so I

154
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: don't know, well, because they're not keeping keeping minds Carolina's

155
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: last sixth straight. Carolina is definitely attles losing the first

156
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: playoff game when they come to EIGHTEENC Stadium, so there's

157
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: no chance we'll see different a different topic, but and

158
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to be the guy that

159
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: gets riled up about the Pro Bowl because it's stupid

160
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. But I would like

161
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: to see them figure out a way to They need

162
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: to reconfigure that because Layton vander esch is, you're naming

163
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: pass rushers as linebackers and so that's taking away votes

164
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: from guy. And we saw that. I mean, Sean Lee

165
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: almost got screwed because they classified him as an outside

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: linebacker and he was. So you're going up against von

167
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Miller for outside lineback and I would imagine technically Layton

168
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: is an outside linebacker. So if you list him as

169
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: an outside linebacker, then he's going up against um who's

170
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: he going who at least one edge rusher for the

171
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: NFC I've already forgot. I think Bar, Carrigan, Bar and

172
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: Mac are all line linebacker. I mean, come on, but

173
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: if you listen him as an inside linebacker, then he's

174
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: going up against Wagner and Keekley, who are two of

175
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: the best to play the position. In the last I

176
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: really think they should classify him as defensive lineman. Pass rushers. Yes,

177
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: linebacker pass rushers all go in there together. Yeah, and

178
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: I also, but then you're gonna have a problem and

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: then DeMarcus Lawrence might because there's some really good pass

180
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: rushers now that now are going to get edged out

181
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: by you know what I'm saying. The way, you're gonna

182
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: have some guys that aren't going to be there. There's

183
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: no great way to do it. But Layton vander esh

184
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: does a very, very different job than Khalil Mack and

185
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be losing votes. Also, I think it's weird

186
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: that only two inside linebackers make the Pro Bowl team

187
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: when three quarterbacks make it, Like, yeah, it's it seems

188
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: like a kind of skimping on that position a little bit. Well,

189
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: you know what they do. And this is I used

190
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: to we used to see this with other guys, like

191
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: I saw with DeMarcus Dove, guys that aren't used to

192
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: really playing linebacker that at the Pro Bowl they're standing

193
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: up as outside linemen, not in the three four, at

194
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: a traditional four to three, and they're stand up linebackers

195
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: and it looks really weird because they're used to usually

196
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: have their hands in the ground because they play in

197
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: a four to three at defensive end. So it's just

198
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: all the whole thing gets a little bit weird. One

199
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: other thought too, I mean, even if Layton Vanderesh did

200
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: get snubbed, Cowboys are not the team that should be

201
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: complaining about that, like the power of the Cowboys. Like

202
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: I looked it up, the only teams that have more

203
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: players in the Pro Bowl than the Cowboys are like

204
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the thirteen and win teams like the Chiefs and the

205
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Rams and the Saints Charges have the most. They have seven,

206
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: they're they're eleven and three. Yeah, I don't know nout Yeah,

207
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: but they're also but they're also considered one of the

208
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: teams people forget about. True, but I don't have any

209
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: fans the count and then nobody forgets about the Cowboys

210
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: any fans. They don't. But that's also remarkable that they

211
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: have the most number of that make that. Sorry, if

212
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the if the AFC title game is played in the

213
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: stub Hub Center, that's gonna be bizarre because they'll be

214
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: outnumbered in their building most in a playoff game in

215
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship, Like if they play the Steelers and

216
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: the stub Hubs, it's it'll be I guarantee, you'll be

217
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: black and gold every there will be there will be

218
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: fans that come out of the woodwork that are now

219
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: back on the train with the Chargers Superchargers point. But

220
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: it's fine because they have them. You know, San Diego,

221
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: I get it, But you know how it is. You

222
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: win and all of a sudden you get all these

223
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: fans that you never saw before there now fans. I

224
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do that. I would hop right

225
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: back on the bandwagon, especially if it's only been like

226
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: two years since you were on the bandwagon. You're like,

227
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: I left for a reason, but I'm kind of back.

228
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: This is fun. I'll tell you what. One more guy

229
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: to mention is a Ezekiel Elliott. Like just the fact

230
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: of what everything he's gone through. I mean, I think

231
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: everybody here is excited about what he's done. He's he's

232
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: he's done, you know, just just basically for a whole year,

233
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: just kind of been you know, beaten down by by

234
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: everything that was happening with the NFL and all that,

235
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: and to come back the way he did. He got

236
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: his body in shape, he got he got his mind right.

237
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: He's been a better teammate, he's been a better player,

238
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: a better leader and all around player. He's catching the

239
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: ball and he's doing things. You know, he's saying the

240
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: right things. I mean, I'm I'm really happy for him,

241
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: probably more than anybody. It's been. Yeah, And i mean,

242
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: you know, he was coming back from his suspension around

243
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: this time last year, and it's remarkable where he is now.

244
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: You knows, hasn't been a negative storyline about him since then. Really, Uh,

245
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: he's he has taken possession of this team, and even

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: during the season, like you have seen him grow and

247
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: change and kind of take a hold of the team.

248
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: It's been it's been cool to see. And obviously he's

249
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: having a great year as a player too, So I'm

250
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: so proud of him. I'm not his mom or anything.

251
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: That's why it feels like when you see somebody grove

252
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: that way and do so well. Even in his attitude,

253
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: the way he walks around now he says high to people, smiling,

254
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: big deal, and yeah, I like it's amazing. It feels

255
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: weird to be proud of something like I'm not I'm

256
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: not related to Zeke, Like you know, we have a

257
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: very loose relationship, you know, like we're not friends. But yeah,

258
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: it's cool to see. I can't. I don't want to

259
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: say that. I was about to say he asked you

260
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: if you wanted something, but I'm not going to say that.

261
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, locker, he asked me if I wanted to

262
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: dip and I was like, no, I'm good, thank you,

263
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: But find offer, that's an odd offer. I should have

264
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: taken it, just for the story. I should have been

265
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: you would have thrown I probably would. That would have

266
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: been a bad. I should add I should have done

267
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: It would have been a bad But you know, even

268
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: when and we talk about this a lot, just being

269
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: in the media, Um, those guys that are willing to

270
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: step up good times and bad times. And one thing

271
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: I've noticed about him this year, every single game when

272
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: lose doesn't matter, there he is the first one to

273
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 1: walk in that locker room and say what do you

274
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: guys need? And he handles his responsibility and to me,

275
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: that is a responsibility and of being a professional athlete,

276
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: sets the tongue accountable to fans, drew the media. He

277
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: sets the tone too. I mean he Dad gets all

278
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: the credit for saying backs against the wall. Zeke was

279
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: the first guy to say I'm I'm sure. I'm sure.

280
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure, was the first guy say, probably stayed about

281
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: ten times before they caught on. He was the first

282
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: guy to take it to us, to take it to

283
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: the outside world. And he was the guy standing there

284
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis like that sucked. We're not doing that again, right,

285
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: that's piss poor He Yeah, he has become And I

286
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: asked him about that a couple weeks ago, just you know,

287
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: has it been easier to be that guy because of

288
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, Jason Witten's gone and Deaz is gone. He's like,

289
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it made it easier. It just I

290
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: didn't have a choice and step up. And he's like,

291
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, who's gonna be that guy when Jason Witten's

292
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: ten feet away? But he's not here, and so somebody

293
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: had to do it, And that's not a great job.

294
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: He could he could walk around and be like God

295
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: jacket with you know, go with you know, he could

296
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: be playing around and be playful zeke. When Whitten was

297
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: the one handling the responsibilities of talking to the media

298
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: every game. Now he's that guy and those young guys

299
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: are looking to him to be the leadership and still

300
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: plenty playful, absolutely, and that's okay, Yeah, that's okay. But

301
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: he has a he has a responsibility too, and he's

302
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: taking that responsibility seriously. This the twelve months since you know, yeah,

303
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: this time last year they were getting ready to play

304
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. It was do or die. That was his

305
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: first game back, right, Yeah, And I never these twelve

306
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: months have been perfect for him. I never would have

307
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: guessed it would be as smooth as it's been. And yeah,

308
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm proud of him. And the great thing. You also

309
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: see him do so good on the feeling, yet he's

310
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: not walking around like a diva, like it doesn't get

311
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: to his head. And when he talks to me, one

312
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: of the things I really appreciate from him, it's how

313
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: real he is. He will tell it how it is

314
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: without being disrespectful, just keeping it very professional. But give

315
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: you something that's real and not. I mean, Dak is

316
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: a great speaker and stuff, but sometimes it's kind of coded,

317
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: kind of like what Jason does and has to be. Yeah,

318
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: it has to be. But yeah, you know like last

319
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: week when last weekend, when Zeke talked, he's just very honest.

320
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, that was embarrassing. We shouldn't be playing like that.

321
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: So as someone that you're listening, and whether you're a

322
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: reporter or a fan, you really appreciate when someone is

323
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: just being honest and real. All right, let's take our

324
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: first real quick before I don't I don't want to

325
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: just leave out anyone. I mean, Zach Martin always gets

326
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: kind of left out of stuff the Pro Bowl as well. No,

327
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: no he didn't, he didn't. We just kind of gloss

328
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: over real quick, mel renfro Ye, Emmett Smith Zach Martin,

329
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: the only players in the history of the Cowboys to

330
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: start their career with five straight Pro Bowls. Those guys

331
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: were good. Renfro did it, ten Emmett six, Zach five.

332
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: And I bet he keep honor Haul of Fame, best

333
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: player on this team, best guard in football, and absolutely

334
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: is laying the foundation for a Hall of Fame. And

335
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: like one way, and I didn't even look, hadn't even

336
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: nothing has been hard for him, Like and that's not

337
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: obviously he works hard all but like, yeah, all pro

338
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: from the day he got If you wonder how good

339
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: he is, just watch the Colts game and watch Adam

340
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: Redman and those guys struggle. And you know, here's the

341
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: interesting part about him. You think about it, and I

342
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: can maybe I can maybe remember three or four times

343
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: since he's been with the Cowboys where I've seen him

344
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: get beat. Yeah, think about that. Yeah, of all those games,

345
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: like three or four times I have in my mind,

346
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: like I have a mental image of him getting beat.

347
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: And the ones that's not very often, the ones that

348
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: stand out at least, the ones that come to mind

349
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: are from this year when he's been hobbled right exact

350
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: when he's not at full strength exactly and last week

351
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: and was the first game for him to ever miss

352
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: in his career, which is amazing so much that it

353
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: was in his hometown. Yeah, it's like you said, Nick,

354
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: the likelihit, he'll be around when that happens again. He

355
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: won't eight years from now. He's a Hall of famer.

356
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: He's probably still playing a name baby Treen Spitz is

357
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: a good example. Yeah, he's a really good player. But

358
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: anybody willing to say Tyrant has another six years, he

359
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: hasn't had the same kind of injuries, not yet. But

360
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go to a break your break. When

404
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

405

408
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,040

Speaker 1: com slash Football Back to the Break, Welcome back. This

412
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: is a second segment of the We're gonna get into

413
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: some of the guys that wear a practice, some of

414
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: those who weren't yesterday. You guys talked a lot about

415
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: David Irving on the show. We heard Jerry Jones basically

416
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: say that he expects him to be back on the

417
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: field pretty soon or this year sometime, who knows. But

418
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: we've also talked about the amazing, incredible talent that he has. Now,

419
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: when you see a guy that hasn't been practicing all

420
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: this time and being away from football all of this time,

421
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: where does that leave that? Do you actually see this

422
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: as being a possibility for him to get back on

423
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: the field despite all of the time that he has missed. Well,

424
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's right now. He's back here

425
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: working with the trainers. From what it sounds like around

426
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: the building, he's not really close to getting there conditioningwise,

427
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: and you expected that. You didn't expect that he would

428
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: be gone from the team and doing all this great

429
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: conditioning work, because when you have a high ankle sprain,

430
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: that's I mean, it's really hard to do. A lot

431
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: aren't even a condition. Yeah, I mean bike, I guess,

432
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean you could do that, but they got like

433
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: the pool thing, you can be underwater and take pressure.

434
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he was doing that at all, and

435
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: I think he was. He's getting back into football shape

436
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: right now, and that's gonna be tough for him now.

437
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's he's a freak, and you know

438
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: he could kind of get back out there. I don't

439
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: think he plays this week. I don't know. Jason talked

440
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about him. Yeah, he's still always off.

441
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: And that's that's always the difficulty when when Jerry says

442
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: something like that, you kind of I dialed down my

443
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: optimism somewhere between twenty five and fifty percent from what

444
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Jerry usually says. So if he I don't want to

445
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: rule it out because he's a freak and they you know,

446
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna play beyond Week seventeen most likely, and but

447
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't bet on it until the playoffs.

448
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: If that, even in the shape that you think is

449
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: in right now, would you still consider him better this

450
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: Some of the guys are on the defensive line right now.

451
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: No thing about it is I don't think you can.

452
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you would replace one of the guy,

453
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: one of those guys that's playing regularly with him. You

454
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: might add him in, and then what you do is

455
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: you'd say, Okay, we'll give you ten snaps and and

456
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: then you you kind of mitigate the fact that he's

457
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: not that he may not be in the best shape,

458
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: and you try to work him back into shape playing

459
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: a couple snaps. What I would all you can do, sorry,

460
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: but I would like to see and then sure the

461
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys would love this luxury. He probably won't play this week.

462
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: Go out there, win the game, get your hats, win

463
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: the division, do that, go to New York. Now you

464
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: got admit the decisions to make on how you handle

465
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: certain players, certain injuries. Whatever I would play him, I

466
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: would I would play him in that game. I would say,

467
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: what would you play him? A lot? Though, I would

468
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: play him till you know Joe's tongue just yea hanging

469
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: on the ground, which right now could be for you're

470
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: going the hart u of how you teach somebody out,

471
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: So let me you just throw him in like well,

472
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: you'd be like, I'm just gonna get you in shape

473
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: by running you to death in a game. Well, I

474
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: mean I think you know he's gonna be working all

475
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: this week. I'm with you. Amber loves the tough love strategy.

476
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: No way. Can you imagine poor Diego? This life is God.

477
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: She's the closest thing to Bear Bryant. She doesn't even

478
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: know really about Bear Brown. But that's hardcore. Yeah, yeah,

479
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: go read up on the Junction Boys. Yeah, I'm better

480
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: because of that. You know what, they were harder? You

481
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: said they were hard Yeah, yeah, I hated them at

482
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: the time, but then eventually, what I'm mature, that was

483
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: very thankful. What are we talking about here? I mean

484
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: what three years ago was like? How much you know football?

485
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Not really anyway, go go cover the Cowboys. So pretty

486
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: much what's happened pretty much got hazed, done the job

487
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, that's good. The beauty of the d

488
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: tackle spot. It kind of reminds me of line the line,

489
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Shawn Lee Layton vander esh argument. I mean,

490
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: if you can get him in a spot to play

491
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: ten snaps, could he bring and I'm not trying to

492
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: dog Karan read, but could he give you ten snaps

493
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: that are better than what Karan Read's doing because that's

494
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't have his snap county, but it isn't high,

495
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, And so if you can get him in

496
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: that spot, he could do some work with ten snaps.

497
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, his first snap back after a four game absence,

498
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: he got right in Blake Bortle's face, so that I

499
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: would he could do it. He's gonna, I mean, I'm

500
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: setting my expectations real, real low, but if he could

501
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: get to a spot where he could give you ten snaps,

502
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: it's fine with me. But I just I would ease

503
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: him back more because I think tired players tend to

504
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: get hurt, and I wouldn't want to risk him getting

505
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: hurt because he's so tired that his technique is all

506
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: off and he's not as aware and he's just trying

507
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: to survive and then you end up with another injury.

508
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: So for me, if you're gonna try to play him

509
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: that last game, I would ease him back, give him

510
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: a couple of snaps, and just see how it goes,

511
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: See how he feels after the game, because that helps

512
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: you see if you get any swell and get see

513
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: if you know all those kind of things that you

514
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: just kind of want to check, you want to see

515
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: before you just give him a full load, and you

516
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: give him a chance just to kind of start working

517
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: his way back into shape, because that's hard when you're

518
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: sitting and you have an injury that doesn't allow you

519
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: to really really keep your your wind up as much

520
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: as you want. You know, you got a leg injury.

521
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep your wind the way you want

522
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: to keep yourself in football shape. So you have to

523
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: find a good battle. Yeah, I think i'd give him.

524
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: I'd gi him a little bit of time now, sag Martin,

525
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: he was back at practice. Xaviers to a Philo, Zach

526
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Martin is not back at practice. I thought he was.

527
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: He's working with the training staff. He's not practice, so

528
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: he's out there, but not with the team. He's like

529
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: over to the side. Yeah, on the side, which that is.

530
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where I saw that. In my mind,

531
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: I thought he was like doing well. I guess that

532
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: just doing which to the side. Jason Garrett said, Xaviers

533
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: to a Philo, probably wasn't going to practice, and he

534
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: still might not, but he was out there in uniform,

535
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: so he might still be working with the trainers. We

536
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: don't get to see all a practice, but wearing a shield. Yep,

537
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: he's got a shield, as I would I would assume

538
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: for the rest of his career. He probably I'm gonna

539
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna wear a shield. Just didn't regular

540
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: life all gonna wear shields that in the press box.

541
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't think if they can. I think it's an NFL.

542
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you can just do that. Yeah, no,

543
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: it's it's just the No, it's just the dark ones.

544
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: Like if if you just want to wear a clear visor,

545
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: think you can do whatever you want. It's the mirrored

546
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: ones and the dark the joker one that Odell has,

547
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: you can't do that. But uh yeah, so they're they're

548
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: working their way back, encouraging that. You know, it's Wednesday

549
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: and they're doing stuff. So, um, anybody else that's stood

550
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: out as far as Swaying. Swayin's gonna be gone till

551
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: maybe playoffs, right, Like, yeah, he didn't have a chance

552
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: in the regular season. I wouldn't think cast is off though, correct,

553
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: it's different. I know he's still he's wearing something. I

554
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: think it's different than it was, but he's still wearing something, right, So, yeah,

555
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: he's got a little ways to go. He doesn't even

556
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: have the cast off. That's that um And you know,

557
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's it's not hurting you because

558
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: you have four tight ends. But like that almost seems

559
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: like wishful thinking to me, kind of like the Travis

560
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: Frederick deal. But I'm you know, if he can get

561
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: back for a playoff game, I guess that's something. And

562
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I will say this the way the tight end in

563
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: my opinion, f played these last couple of weeks, I

564
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: feel like they're getting a little bit of production, a

565
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: little bit more production. Yeah, they're tight ends, and they

566
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: probably were getting earlier in the season. So I'm a

567
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: little that doesn't Again, I would love to have Swaying

568
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: back because he just adds another piece. But I think

569
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: right now I'm not as worried about the tight end

570
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: position as I as I once was. But the only

571
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: the only guys that just absolutely were not at practice

572
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: were Zach Swam and Irving, which for mid December, that's

573
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. I'm sure the injury would be like the

574
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: Rams and have no injury report as they were this

575
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: last game. Seriously, somebody made mention of that going into

576
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: that game, Like nobody on their injury Well they probably

577
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: do now really. Yeah, well that's interesting. He wasn't on

578
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: there because they said that that was an injury that

579
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: was there before the game, right, so we'll see why

580
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the injury report. CJ. CJ. Goodwin is

581
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: back to practice. He's not off of IR. But much

582
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: like that about him? Well, literally, no, no, no, this

583
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: is important. No, No, I know he played super well

584
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: they I mean he was a gunner for about three

585
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: weeks here ye special team's boss. But I mean in

586
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: the ebb and flow and the craziness of a season, like,

587
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: I had to remind myself who he was. So I'm

588
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: sure I just forgot he was. I forgot that he

589
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: was on a high. Yeah, I just completely forgot. Broke

590
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: his forearm in in wash Hington. They put him on IR.

591
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: They have not brought him back, so they have They've

592
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: already brought one guy back, right, which is what So

593
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: it's a brown. Yes, it's important to designate that they

594
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: haven't brought him back because they are out of IR

595
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: spots if they do that. So I think they're gonna

596
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: let him practice. Do they have on parents? Terrence Travis

597
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: uh No, And with somebody Terrence Williams. I forgot about Terrence.

598
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: Did you tell me somebody on IR? That's even a

599
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: possibility because I don't know they got anybody else on IR.

600
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: That's pretty much CJ. Because Travis and Terrence aren't coming.

601
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: It ain't come they happen. Yeah, Cedric Wilson, Uh, he

602
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: ain't coming back either. He can't. He can't come back.

603
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Daytone is interesting. Yeah, I guess theoretically you've never even

604
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: seen him. He got hurt, like heading into the I

605
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: see him at practice all about king about it in

606
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: the caft Parker who Tony Parker? He plays for the Bobcats.

607
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: Now not the Bobcats, the Horns. Wow, Parker, can you

608
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: tell I'm not an NBA fan? Anger? What? Oh? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah,

609
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: the the offensive lineman, the guy they traded for, who

610
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: was here for like maybe eight or nine hours. Yeah,

611
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: before you go, I was the guy they traded for

612
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: while we were in Houston. Oh no, I remember Parker?

613
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Inger forgot about him. Yeah, that's a good one. Now,

614
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: that's that's a definitely. It's it's fun to go back

615
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: and like really try to remind yourself everything that happens

616
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: over the course of Marcus Martin. Yeah, forgot about him

617
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: to He's gonna be ready kind of shape. Yeah. I

618
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: was about to say that he could actually put again.

619
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Didn't He went to IR before training camp? Right, he

620
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: went to IR before the season started. I thought, which

621
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: if you go to if if you're not on the

622
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: roster when they cut it, you can't come back, which

623
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: is why Cedric will O the mill showers. Yeah. CJ.

624
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: Goodwin is a guy that I know. Special Team's coach

625
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Keith the Quinn loved what he did. And and you know,

626
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: you get to this point in the season, you're gonna

627
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: have games where you gonna have to punt and it's

628
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I would say colder whether maybe not,

629
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: because if you get to the playoffs, you're gonna have

630
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: the first game is gonna be at home. A bunch

631
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: of don't unless and the Chicago does something. Chicago's the

632
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: only is that the only team that that's a real

633
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: cold weather city that that would be in the playoffs

634
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a dome Seattle, but they are. It's

635
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: not a cold weather so yeah, it can it can be.

636
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: They're not It's like Dallas to me, They're not in

637
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: position to play a playoff game. I don't know, Well,

638
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: don't ask amber. It looked it would be cold. The

639
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: temperature the night of the Romo game. I mean that's

640
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: a great exact. Was it in the forties? I mean, like,

641
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't think Seattle gets a lot colder than that.

642
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: Don't get a ton of snow, get a little bit.

643
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: You actually are on record of saying that if the

644
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys open the roof that in a game this year,

645
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: that it's going to be affecting, like the team that's

646
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: he that's not cold, but the heat there's a very

647
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: big difference. But it wasn't It's not cold, it wasn't hot. No,

648
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: this was like two weeks ago. You're like, it's roof open,

649
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: because that's gonna make it for athletic. I'm telling you,

650
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: eighty is it. Go go do some research on temperatures

651
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: and how how people perform in warmer temper telling you

652
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: the temperatures very serious. There is, seriously there is research

653
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: around where performance declines based upon temperature. I'm just telling you,

654
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: the warmery gets the more performance to climb. Where do

655
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: you think what affects the game the most? Seventy two

656
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: is room temperature and eighty degree weather or forty degree

657
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: weather with possible rain and Seattle rain is definitely rain.

658
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Rain is different. Rain is different because then you got

659
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: to deal with slipperiness. But if you're talking about forties

660
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: versus eighties, forties is much better for athletic performance in eighty.

661
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to stop this. I can't even see the

662
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: road a conversation over here, but we need to go

663
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: to break. This is not an interesting conversation. Let's take

664
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: a break and when we come back, you'll finally hit

665
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks offense. While a player could look good on paper,

666
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: it's when he's out on the field that you really

667
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

668
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when

669
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: building their team. When picking a tractor, it's why you

670
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: should rely on more than just specs and features. You've

671
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: got to take it out and put it to the test.

672
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: The Cowboys did when they named under their official tractor

673

726
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: we're running out of time. I'm like Ambers trying to

727
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: what I'm trying. You don't care about the Bucks. You

728

Speaker 1: Let's go. I'm just saying Nick talks about me, making

730
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: comments about tell me John, but he is the worst.

731
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: He just keeps it going. All right, let's go to

732
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: do we need to push the Bucks offense to Lamar

733
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: and do offense and defense in one day. We can

734
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: do that. It's fine. I don't know. You're running the show,

735
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: so feel free. What else did we not hit on? Hey,

736
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, it's fine. I got

737
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: other questions. Yeah, let's tell you what. Let's do that.

738
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: Let's do offense and defense. So do you have any

739
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: show tomorrow? Exactly right? We got we got to do it.

740
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: We got the we got stuck with the rain. You

741
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 1: know the rain forecast in Seattle. We went a little

742
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: talk today. I love it all right. Well, you know,

743
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: there's an interesting question. And I've been seeing a lot

744
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: of pants kind of save this. And we heard what

745
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys talked about after the loss, making comments in

746
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: regard to well this is it kind of shows you

747
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: that you're not entitled to things, and you kind of

748
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: you need to win, you need to get it for yourself.

749
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: And I've seen comments saying the Cowboys needed this loss.

750
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: Do you guys agree with this or disagree? And if

751
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: you do agree with this, what would be the mentality

752
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: about around that whole thing of saying maybe they did

753
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: need this kind of loss. I don't think you can

754
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: answer that right now. I really don't because I think

755
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: if they lose the next two games, you're gonna say, like, now,

756
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: they went to Indianapolis, they were you know, there were

757
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: two you know, big for themselves, whatever you want to say,

758
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: and they got beat and they could handle it. If

759
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: they come back and smashed the Bucks, then you can

760
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: say that. But I think it's a little early to

761
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: say that right now. Yeah, very Rowan Like, no, I mean, well,

762
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: riding the fence is okay sometimes if it makes sense. Um,

763
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a nice little line. And if

764
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: that makes them feel better than great, and yeah, especially

765
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: if it helps him bounce back. Like if if that's

766
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: what they want to tell themselves, then I'm all in

767
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: favor of it, But I don't really necessarily buy it

768
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: because we've seen you know, the twenty sixteen team didn't

769
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: need for that to happen. I mean, I know they

770
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: lost to the Giants, but they lost basically two meaningful

771
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: games all year, which flip side is that they went

772
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: one and done in the playoffs. But I just I

773
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: you don't need for that to happen to keep your

774
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: focus and keep doing things the way you're supposed to.

775
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: That's I mean, I give Jason Garrett credit for that

776
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: all the time. It's like he keeps his guys on task,

777
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: which it's unusual to see them get shot I mean

778
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: obviously shut out, but lose by twenty plus points. It

779
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: doesn't happen all that off and under his watch. So

780
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: and I knew he was going to take issue with that,

781
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: which he was like, No, I don't don't agree with that.

782
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: We sucked like we didn't do our jobs. So, like

783
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: I said, if it makes them feel better than fine,

784
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: but I don't buy that they needed it. Yeah, I agree.

785
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you guys are saying. The one

786
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: thing I will out though, is I do think that personally,

787
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of marketing going on

788
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: last week, and I think sometimes when you have a

789
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: young team, they start getting some success and they start

790
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: maybe they do get a little bit unfocused and not

791
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: not not to say they didn't practice or worried about

792
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: how they're going to sell their T shirts, but maybe

793
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: they're spending a little more time away from you know, football,

794
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: kind of getting into that kind of stuff, and maybe

795
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: it can kind of help you kind of you're too

796
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: focused on too many things rather than being singularly focused

797
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: on just football, and at this time of the year,

798
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: you want your guys singularly focused on football. So I

799
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: think for a young team, and it remains to be

800
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: seen whether this will be the case here, but it

801
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: could be a situation where it makes them say, you know, guys,

802
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: let's chill out on the hardasts for a minute. Let's

803
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: let's chill out on all the T shirts and the

804
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: eyeglass line and all that. Let's just chill on that

805
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: for a second. Let our agents handle that stuff. Let's

806
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: just worry about football for now. Let's get ourselves rey

807
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: focused and let's do what we gotta do. And if

808
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: and if that was the case and they did get

809
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: a little bit unfocused, and this has a way of

810
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: refocusing them. Great not saying that's necessarily what happened, but

811
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: if it did, then this that could be a good thing,

812
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: and that could be something that could refocus them. Going

813
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: to who do you think is the greatest team of

814
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: all time? Like one of the greatest teams of all time?

815
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Bears eighty five bucks about them all the time. Eighty

816
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: five Bears. They they were, you know, steamrolling everybody. About

817
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: midway through the season, they came up with the idea

818
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: to do their Super Bowl bull shuffle, and they went

819
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: and they did that. They didn't studio probably on a Tuesday,

820
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: and they did their and didn't affect the practice time.

821
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: Guy has had parts on that. They lost the next game,

822
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: that sucks, and then they won the rest and they won.

823
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: Everyone now the great one of the greatest teams. And

824
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: again it doesn't say that that's the way it happens

825
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: for every team. I'm just saying that sometimes you start

826
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: getting some success and you start thinking about other things. Yeah, hey,

827
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: and this has sometimes a loss has a way of

828
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: making you say, maybe let me slide away from that

829
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: stuff for a minute. I'm just not I'm not going

830
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: to apologize for it because it's our job. But I mean,

831
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, we made we made the playoffs scenario video,

832
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: and you know we're having meetings gearing up for what

833
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: a playoffs we do though no exactly, and I'm not

834
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: apologizing for that, but that that gets noticed, you know,

835
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: like when you know, the buzz in this building was

836
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: about the playoffs and I would not be surprised if

837
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: some guys got caught up in that. So if this

838
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: helps them refocus, yeah, like you said, more power to you.

839
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you need it, right because

840
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: good teams can do that without any definite but sure

841
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: veteran teams can. Again, don't forget that this is a

842
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: young team. Yeah, some of these guys this is their

843
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: first bout with success because they've only been here a

844
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: year or two and they're just this is their first

845
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: experience with having NFL success. So for them it may

846
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: feel very different than a guy who's been ten You've

847
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: been around ten years and knows and you can't accomplish nothing.

848
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: Yet you know, it's it's a perfect setup for him too.

849
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they did face a tough team in Indianapolis

850
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: that we've had a lot to play for and they

851
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: were they were surging as well. You know, they're just

852
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: as hot as the Cowboys. And then now they're facing

853
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: a team with Tampa Bay that just keeps flipping a

854
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: coin on which quarterback they want to play, and you know,

855
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: and they're not very good and they got some good players.

856
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about their offense and defense tomorrow. But

857
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is a good team to come

858
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: into at and T Stadium for him and saying, you

859
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: know what, you're way better than this team. You know,

860
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: they don't they're not very good. Let them know early

861
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: and then you know, I just saw a stat that

862
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: Caboys are seven to oz when they're when they're leading

863
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: at halftime. So get the ball, take the ball on

864
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: when you when the Bucks win the toss to take

865
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: the ball, go down there. We're gonna take the ball

866
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna score. Yeah, mad assback, careful, careful with that,

867
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: all right? Well, before I know, I know what the

868
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: everything that you guys said after seeing that kind of loss,

869
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: but before, since the moment the guy stepped off the bus,

870
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: was your perception of how this team was becoming, of

871
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: what this team was becoming, was they kind of like, Okay,

872
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: maybe they do need to kind of chill out a

873
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: little bit or um, I'm not sure how to word it,

874
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: but when I saw the hard hats, um, I wasn't

875
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: And this was the first time they wore the hard hats. Yeah,

876
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: coming off the bus, like I thought, I was just yeah,

877
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: I thought the Cowboys were gonna work. I said on

878
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: the pregame show that the Cowboys were gonna blow them out.

879
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: So I'm come. You said it before the pregame show,

880
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: during the pregame show and after the pregame, yeah, completely wrong.

881
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: So when I saw the hard hats, though, my thought was, oh,

882
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: this looks bad. I just was like, maybe we were

883
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: a little too this is getting a little too far,

884
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: but not to the point where I thought I would have. Yeah, yeah,

885
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: of course. And I don't think that did affect the team.

886
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: I just you know, but I was surprised by that

887
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: that performance. I really thought the Cowboys were gonna go

888
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: out there. I thought their defense was gonna you know,

889
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: they say defense travels, and I didn't. I think it

890
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: was back in first. I mean, I saw the hard

891
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: hats and I didn't travel with you guys too Indianapolis.

892
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: I met you guys there and I didn't see so

893
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: I didn't see the hardhats until game day. We were

894
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: walking off the bus and I was like, ohh that's new,

895
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: that's different. And my first reaction was not anything negative,

896
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: was that, Okay, there's there because all we hurt this season,

897
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: all we've seen this season is that DeMarcus is like, yeah,

898
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna play ball, and then they go play ball, right,

899
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: and so I just expected that was gonna be more

900
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, they're they're putting this hot boys thing

901
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: in your face. And they're putting it out there, but

902
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: they're backing it up, so keep doing it. I don't care.

903
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: That's great. They just didn't perform like that. And this

904
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: is really, in my opinion, the first time the season

905
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: when they didn't perform back to you, yes, which yeah,

906
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: And I mean it's hid insight and that and like

907
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: I said, if it helps him refocus, that's fine. I

908
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: love it when guys are interesting, So I'm not going

909
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: to kill him for that. I love him. Keep it

910
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: going if you're if you're winning, I agree with you there,

911
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: And I think it's been a great thing. I think

912
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: what DeMarcus has done, he's brought and I always say this,

913
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: he brought guys like Woods and Antoine Woods, Karan read Uh,

914
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Ross. These guys have a I don't want to

915
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: say they have a purpose that I mean, of course

916
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: they have a purpose, but but I mean they're on

917
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 1: the team and they're getting talked about, but they've got

918
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: to be hungry. And those Ross and Woods, they got

919
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: to this point. They've been cut before by other teams,

920
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: by this team. Now they're they're here and this is

921
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: their moment and like they gotta those guys, they gotta

922
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: be the ones making sure you don't leave it for

923
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they did. I'm saying players in general,

924
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: make sure that you're not leaving early to go when

925
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: you really have more tape to watch. You gotta stay

926
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: focused there what's funny. And so we're all pretty much

927
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: in an agreement about that, but it just depends on

928
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: who you ask. Like old school, hard nosed football guy

929
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: Brian brought us like he probably hates it well weeks

930
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: before the hard hats even showed up, Like I'm talking

931
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, like after three wins. You just hear Brian

932
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: like a lot of people acting a little too happier

933
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: around here and like nothing's been accomplished yet. I'm just like,

934
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: chill out, you old. That's the thing about veterans kill,

935
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: and that's what a veteran ads to a locker room,

936
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: right when you got those old heads in there that

937
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: are like, dude, I've been through this before and I've

938
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: gone on these kind of runs and then we end

939
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: up doing nothing. Yeah, I understand we haven't accomplished anything.

940
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: Do you feel like, because when did the boys really

941
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: come out? Like No, I mean like this since training camp, right, yeah,

942
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: do you feel like this is something last year? They're like,

943
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: we should call we should be like the hot boys.

944
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 1: We should last year, And all of a sudden, Witten

945
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: came over, like what's going on? No, no, no, not

946
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: like wait till he's gone. Whenever he's gone, We're gonna

947
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: do it at the press conference. They're like hot hot boys.

948
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: The irony is that the guy that came up with

949
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: the name hasn't gotten a jersey the last two weeks.

950
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: But that's okay. It's Demrcut. It's Demarcus's group now anyway,

951
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: it is absolutely his gap. All right, well, guys, thank
