How's Mike? 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.200 That was my What about Joe? 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:40.200 You know what to me? 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.160 If I'm Jerry Jones, I called Joe and said, hey, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:49.200 I got come on, stay so dirty alone. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.800 Take the players. I'm just take the players and coaches that. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.480 That's that's that's that's the Q guy. But Joe wit Is. 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.040 Sources have told me that Joe would be very open 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.280 to to moving updated tax. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.679 We said, we moved on from this. Okay, stop trying 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:06.880 to get the coaches away. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.000 We are right. Okay. So about the Packers. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.160 I talked to Sam, Sam, what do you got to 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:14.600 talk about it? 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.320 I did see, so what makes this different? This run different? 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.280 You know, you've been around here for a not of these. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:26.040 And he just said he feels like they have an. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.040 Overall team that can do it. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.480 And then one of the things I said to him is, look, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.200 I'm gonna go to the two San Francisco loss the 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.919 last few years. The offense can't get three touchdowns? How 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.320 do you get that? How do you get that thing over? 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.360 Because the defense has given you enough to win the game. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.960 And he said, we just got to be ourselves and 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.440 we can do that. So he's confident. Tank Lawrence was 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.440 the last person I was in that that group with him. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.480 He also has been here for enough of these these 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.840 tough losses. He just feels like they just need to 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.600 take advantage of their opportunity, so they're saying the right things. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.280 I asked Hankins about the green Bay run, and is 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.920 there pressure on you because you know you're favored at home, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.520 You're you're at home where you have not lost, and 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.240 he said he didn't feel like it was pressure, that 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.280 they just need to go out and play their games. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.160 So what I'm hearing so far is good. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.760 And the question I didn't ask, which is, in my mind, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.479 do you feel like you're playing for your coaches job 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.800 because somebody left their job today? 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.560 That the rumors out there that Cowboys could be a connection. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.800 But I didn't ask no question because I thought that 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.640 would be a little inappropriate. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:30.920 Good. 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:32.279 I'm not going to answer that. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.600 We when we talk about pressure, you right, I mean all 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.040 the pressure is to me on the Dallas Cowboys. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:41.000 For this game. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.560 I mean when you look at green Bay, young quarterback, 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.680 first time going around, first start, the first time in 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.120 the playoffs, nobody thought that green Bay was going to 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.599 get to this point, especially how they started the season, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.119 like nobody thought that was going to happen. 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.240 Correct, he's playing with house money right now. So the 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.680 pressure is all on Dallas. They got the like you 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.920 just said, they got the home field advantage for at 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.960 least two games if they do everything right, maybe even 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.360 three if somebody knocked you know, the guys off at 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.640 the time. So they got all the pressure on them. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.840 And Mike McCarthey understands this is the best team he's 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.640 been around. Everybody just telling you, the players you just 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.000 talked to, saying, this is the best chance that we've 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.800 had in a long time to get to the point 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.919 where we need to get to. So the pressure is 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.240 all on Dallas and this to me, they got to 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.520 make my guy uncomfortable. And when we talk about I'm 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.560 tking about Ordan Love, they got to make him Uncomfortableause 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:26.440 right now he's on the wave. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.000 He's riding that confidence way. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.800 Eighteen touchdowns to one pick in the last what six 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:31.360 to seven games. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.279 I believe the man's riding strong. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.800 So to me, the pressure is on Dallas. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:37.719 But I think they got the head coach in the 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.000 quarterback to to step up to that challenge. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.720 Every look at it. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.320 We said the exact same thing yesterday, and I want 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.400 to hear your rebuttal to this. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:47.280 We said the. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:52.360 Exact same thing. Nobody told me nothing. We call the fire, 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.080 So I'm just waiting. I'm waiting here, so I guess 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.360 my my question is is how do you know when 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.440 you know that you that team? I mean, as you 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.760 go through the teams that have won Super Bowls, that 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.520 have made a run in the Super Bowl, when do 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.279 you know that you qualify as the upper echelona teams 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.520 in the NFL. I don't think anybody is thinking right 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.960 now that San Francisco has any pressure on them because 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:17.839 you look at them. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.800 As that upper echelon team. The same with the Baltimore Ravens. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.880 I would say the Buffalo Bills, even with the way 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.440 that they got in, there's no pressure on them in 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.200 a home game against the Stellers because it's just the Stealers, right. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.640 But the Dallas Cowboys, who have been plugging away and 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.520 have a same twelve and five as the rest of 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.920 these so called elite teams, all the pressure is on them. 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.039 They're at home with a fifteen game win streak and 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:44.920 all of a sudden, we don't expect for them to 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.799 come through the tunnel, swaggered up, ready to go, ready 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.919 to get kick this thing off. It hadn't looked like 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.719 this in a number of years, with the kind of 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.200 opponents that you have in front of it, and it 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.080 us smirks and all that don't matter. What matters is 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.160 is that we're gonna get it done and the Cowboys, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.800 and the Cowboys finally having opportunity with the number one 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.760 quarterback in the league and also an elite wide receiver, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.840 also an elite pass rusher. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:12.440 You got all these. 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.320 Great things happening on your team, but you the ones 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.640 you got pressure on you. But man, you're the show 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.640 boys though you don't think if the Bills go up 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.280 these to the stealers like Rudolph Okay, I mean, let's 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.040 pressure on off those teams. That's pressure doing what we do. 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.040 All right, that's pressure doing that's pressure doing what we do. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.679 But when you talk about a team that has made 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.720 this season, they're twelve and five, they gotta They're facing 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:40.040 a team that snuck into the playoffs, all you got 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.200 on your plate is that, Like like Tyron said, I'm 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.320 gonna go out there and be us play our game. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.800 Can I can I say what we do? Can I 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.240 say something about the teams that you like? When we 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.960 talked about this a little yesterday, But I just want 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.520 to make sure that we all on the same page 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.920 of you got the pressure on it because you should 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.720 win the game. That's like, you should beat this team. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.640 We all agree that we should beat the Green Bay Packers. 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.400 The pressure is more than that, though. It comes from 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.400 you not being able to get over the hump for 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.360 a certain amount of years. The teams that you named 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.560 have all either been to the Super Bowl or their 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.280 conference championship game within the last five or six years, right, Like, 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.080 so you. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.120 Haven't been to a chap whenever it was. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.960 They've been further than us, where the hump that they're 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.440 trying to get over is different than ours. Okay, right, 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.040 ray Lewison don't want the Super Bowl, so I mean, 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.960 like I'm saying, but they've been there. So when we 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.520 talk about us as the Cowboys, the pressure is we 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.080 haven't been able to get to the NFC championship game 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.280 and I don't know how many years. So that is 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.120 why the pressure it continues to build because right if 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:48.600 you say, this is the best team you've had in 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.760 a while, Dak Prescott, best quarterback in the league, right 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.480 now you have all these things, So yes, now the 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.920 expectation is you should be able to get over that 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:57.959 hump and get at least in the NFC Championship game. 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.560 So that's where I'm saying the pressures come from. Do 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.679 I believe that Green Bay can beat us? 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:03.160 Yes? 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.920 Do I believe they will if we come out and 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.200 do what we're supposed to do. Absolutely not. I guess 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.960 My question is this, I guess, all right, pressure, You 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.640 got pressure. There's a certain amount of pressure on in 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.840 everything that you do. But for these guys, it's a 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.079 win or go home. So that's pressure in it in itself. 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.679 But when do you get up in the morning and say, man, 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.560 We're gonna go to the stadium and beat their ass 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.120 like that's what that's what they may have the same, 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.640 they may have same out look, Green Bay is coming 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.880 to play a football game, But when are you you 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.680 know what you don't what you what you have in 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.120 your team, and you feel like if we go out 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.280 there and we play our best version of football, they. 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.679 Can't rock with it. We do feel that way, and 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:41.480 that's all I'm and that's all I'm saying. No, we 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:41.920 do feel that. 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.679 Take all the pressure off. If I'm gonna go out there, 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.160 I'm gonna pay because they can't deal with that. Yeah, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.800 But then you have to go out there and be 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.160 able to play your best whenever that is. And that's 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.640 the issue of like, Okay, we know if the Cowboys 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.480 are playing their best that they are in the game 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.160 when anybody in the league. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.360 The thing is, it hasn't been that way. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:09:59.880 You can go in there with the number one off 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.160 in the league for the entire season and then not 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:03.760 be able to put up three touchdowns in the game. 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.400 So we have seen them be able to go out well, 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.080 we've seen them go out there and not be able 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.440 to play their best game, which is whether pressure comes. 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.040 The pressure is on you to go out there and 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.440 play your best football in the biggest moments. 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.880 Mike McCarthy was hired to take this team further than 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.000 Jason Garrett. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:20.520 He has not done that yet. 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.920 After the game, when asked about the head coach of status, 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.600 what the owner go out there and do game by game? 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.760 That right, there is pressure starting from the man up top. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:38.080 That's pressure if they don't win two games here. Can 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.320 we all say we're confident that Mike is gonna come back, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.120 even though I just advocated Mike coming back. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:44.679 Can we all say do gonna be back? 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.040 Seeing stranger things? 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.840 Yeah, well, I'm just thinking what they don't win, they'll 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.480 find a way to win one. The percent is higher. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.160 It is higher for me of not being able to 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.040 come back to the scene. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.440 So if this team doesn't win one to two games here, 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.160 you want to tell me, ain't no consequences. He gonna 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.960 just say everybody go running running on back. There is 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.080 pressure here. It's pressure because the owner has consistently said 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.120 he thinks this is a super Bowl team. They have 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.679 not gotten past the divisional round. You got two games 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.839 at home. You had lost at home all year long. Yeah, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.720 there's pressure here. They mess around here, be ten seven 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.120 like they were last week. You know that building to 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.880 gonna be tight and sudden they gonna be tight because 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.440 they haven't gone as. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.240 Far as people have thought they could with the talent 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:31.080 that they have here. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.319 So they have pressure on seven. So there is pressure here. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:35.760 Was that pressure in. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.439 Twenty sixteen, But when y'all had to buy it and 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.120 just said y'all felt like y'all had the team in 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.680 twenty sixteen, it was it. 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:44.480 I mean, what did you say. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.000 We ended up going out there and it didn't perform, right, Yeah, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.120 So that's what the pressure is. You're like, okay, because 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.400 you haven't been there so long, and then you start 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.280 to look at the way the team is performing during 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.719 the regular season. Then the pressure goes Hey man, it's 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.839 been a long time, this is the team, this is 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.560 the one. And then and then you don't get it. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.000 But I will say this, I think we can all agree. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.360 I know we're gonna do our picks tomorrow, that we 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.120 expect us to go out there and perform my best 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.319 at home and beat the Green Bay Packers. Right, Yes, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.520 we expect them because I don't want it to seem 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.599 like that's where it's like. I expect us to go 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:20.199 out there and win. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.920 Yeah. I'm not impervious to the word pressure. I get it. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.600 I understand that at this level everyone is trying to 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.640 get the same thing at the Lombardi Trophy. But I 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.480 think the Cowboys should have that confidence. And I don't 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.079 know if if I can have pressure on me, if 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.280 I'm confident in what I have, I'm going on the 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.480 field with bet I come in. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.319 I'm in here. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.240 With Danny Krag, I'm in here with Battery Church, I'm 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.480 in here with new It ain't no pressure, dog, I'm 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.560 gonna do my thing. I got my brothers with me, 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.800 what part of pressure is that when we better than 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:49.920 the guys were going against. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:51.280 Ain't no pressure in that. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.240 Now if you tell me three weeks from now, we're 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.320 going against San Francisco, Hey, this is pressure. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.640 Packets the NFC Championship. You're going on the road. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.199 Hell yeah, that's pressure because you're going up against a 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.280 team that's beat you three times in a row. You 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.680 haven't seen yourself beat them. But these guys may go dominate. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.080 That's that to me, that's a mindset, like what you're 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.599 talking about, right, that's a mindset, and you got to 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.160 make sure all fifty three players on that roster have 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.280 that same mindset that we're gonna go out there and dominate. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.240 And we've seen in instances this. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.600 Year or in the playoffs last year, that all those 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.120 guys have that same mindset, Like there's opportunities. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:24.000 We've seen it last year. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.920 Defense came out there, we're gonna shut down this San 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.000 Francisco team. We got that swag about us, and that's 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.880 what they were able to do. They shut down you know, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.920 party and those guys. But offensively, a couple turnovers here 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.840 and there and the next thing you all went downhill. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.800 So I think that pressure starts to build when things 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.439 aren't going your way basically, and I believe that if 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.320 this team, you know, starts to struggle a little bit, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.640 they have those guys in place to where that pressure 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.760 shouldn't you know, shouldn't like you just said, it shouldn't 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.720 mount to anything because you have Dak at the quarterback, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.360 you have McCarthy at the coaching position. So when you 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.520 say pressure, I believe, yes, there is some pressure on them, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.680 but they have the keys there to make sure that 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.680 pressure doesn't overcome and knew either. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.079 Lastly, I just want to say, and the other thing 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.120 that the Cowboys have in their favors, they have thirty 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.640 five guys on their roster that have playoff experience. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.880 So I mean, with that. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.400 Experience also says to me that that takes some of 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:12.400 the pressure off of. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.720 You because we've been here before. 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.400 I mean, only one guy on the roster has a 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.200 Super Bowl ring, I believe, but that I'm Gilly. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:22.480 Gilly is only guy. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.840 But I'm saying as far as playoff experience, you have 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.640 thirty five guys on your team that's been here yep, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:28.760 and the coach that's been. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:33.080 To the top, which is where the expectation comes in 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.480 and if with what has been built and the expectation 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.560 from the owner, if this does not result in a win, 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.880 people will not be happy next week. You win this 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.960 week and you play next week. If that does not 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.920 result in a win, people around here will not be 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.160 happy because you all believe, all of us who've watched 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.960 this team this year and seen what they built, because 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.480 you guys are like man got it at home. 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.400 If they don't win two games, what are we gonna say? 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.080 We disappointment? 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.760 The owner came out and said, I'm taking on the 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.080 head coach. Will be game by game basis. Well, brother, 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:12.760 you didn't throw the goblet down. You're to tell me 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.800 you too young? Remember this, But you remember when Billy 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.720 sat down there and told the kid that he had 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.600 when when they was bringing out Afalodia six, I got 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.920 three groups. I ain't got room for fault, but the 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.640 kick ass them all, not else. That's basically what he 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.240 told him. You got two games here, but the kick 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.120 ass and go else. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.560 You just do a purple rain. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:42.800 Don't know, but I'm gonna say that if y'all, if 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:43.440 you find. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.200 Yourself is a late minit, I know that. 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.120 Phil the mind and listen. I'll say this. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.920 If you if you don't believe that up there in Buffalo, 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.600 that there is pressure on Josh Allen in them to 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:05.240 go out there and. 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.800 Perform well against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.080 The lowly Pittsburgh with out tj Wie Mason Rudolph is 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.760 your quarterback, Like, I think they are fake. All the 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.800 good teams that are expected to make it a certain 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.360 distance in the playoffs are facing pressure in the first round, 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.600 especially if you're playing the team that you know you 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.200 should be playing, that's playing without that they don't even 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.920 decid they shouldn't even be here. They snuck in. But 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.400 that puts more pressure on Josh Allen than them to 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.680 go out there and perform how they should Because a 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:36.160 letdown against Pittsburgh, it's gonna be the same conversations that 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:36.800 we're talking about. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.200 Now. Can they do it? Can they make it over humped? 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.760 Look at the season, they got a new they fired 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.720 your office coordinator in the middle of season, got a 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.760 new guy. Now you rolling and you go out there 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:51.480 and you stinking up against Pittsburgh. No, no, like, so 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:51.880 you know. 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.200 Let's get break in here.
