Make 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:50.120 sure you tune in Survivor forty one. Yeah, Survivor forty 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:55.240 one baby, We're we're team team Danny. So that for 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.480 one day, Danny, go take care of some business. So 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.560 nobody do it like us though, what other show you 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.599 know so puts like us? Like like literally we we 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:08.520 we we dominate internationally, we dominated locally, and we still 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.400 got enough love to be like yo, right because we're unselfish, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:16.640 the most unselfish giving shows that believe me, we did 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.239 not get these free, no, and we paid, We paid 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.599 for these, like that's the support that we're on. We like, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.120 we asked for no freebes, like we support our people. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.840 Actually we did, we did, we did, so we did 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:31.200 act for free. You know what he had. I don't 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.320 know if he won. I lost, but the way he 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.400 made it when we asked for free, like, huh, I 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.640 need support. So like, okay, he tried to get that 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.120 million plus he tried. You know, they give you that million, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.120 they still tach you on that million. Yeah, So I 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.320 don't know if he won lost, but we had to 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.200 pay for our shirts. That's a great point, great indication. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.080 Maybe Danny didn't win. Tune in, tune in to night though. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.359 See if he advances to week I guess it'll be 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.880 week three or four. Now how many weeks students go 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.200 before the three three? This is week three? It goes 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.480 what like two months? Chris, Yeah, just like ten episodes 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.279 or something like that. It's a long time. He hasn't 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.760 been his team, He or his team hasn't been to 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.440 the Little the Hut because they keep winning all the challenge. 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.480 They keep winning all the challenges. So what how much 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.400 clothes do they have on wrong show? So here's a 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:24.679 funny that show. But Danny's right. Black people do always 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.960 count to survivr. I was talking to my mother on 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.680 the way in this morning and now she was like, 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.320 you know, we her and I watched the Mask and 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.599 I was like, well, mom, you know we might have 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.960 to record it because my friends on Survivors, so we'll 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:40.400 be watching Survivors. Tell my son is he naked? Said no, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.360 he's not naked. Talking about something? Now, this is this 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.120 is true. Mother taught something. Well, damn, I thought I 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.200 don't get some excitement. That show that is the wrong show. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.480 Stop Black People Survivor and naked in the phrase are 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.920 not the show. Yes, Danny's not gonna be naked. I 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.600 don't know why my mother wants to see Danny anyway, 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:06.360 but is called cougar Shop. And then the last thing 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.160 before before we talk football. Nate and I are hosting 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.600 cross Talk again tonight, and we got the great Drew 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.200 Pearson on the show, so we won't get a word 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:21.520 in edgewise, especially in trouble. They'd be easy show for us. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.080 We just go to the brakes and go home. So 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.520 all right, fellas, let's talk about it. Completely caught me 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.080 off guard. I don't think anybody, I mean, y'all tell me, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.320 did anybody see this coming? When it did? Not? Now, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.720 I think the timing, yeah, seven months ago, i'd have 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:42.320 been like, oh yeah, absolutely, or maybe from now yeah 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.720 right now? Like why now? Is my question? All right, 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.760 let's go straight to the fact. I'm not gonna play 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.240 around with this thing. We got we got football to 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.200 talk about. Actually, like the people who on this team, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.440 we all know what Jalen is as a football player, 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.960 and that's that's in the last couple years has not 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.960 been a good one. Jalen is a great story, like 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.480 great phenomenal story. Most people said that he wasn't supposed 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.520 to play football ever again, his injury a lot of 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.240 times leads to amputation. So for him to be able 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.000 to get back on the field and all the work 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.480 that he'd done in the community helping out with financial 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.040 literay so so, so it's not like a compliment sandwich. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.880 But then we're not gonna back him on the other end. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:28.440 But here is here's the logistics of it. Jalen didn't 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.760 pan out to what they were going to think thought 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.120 he was going to be. They took a shot, it 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:38.440 didn't work out, and Jalen was playing bad football. Hence 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.120 why his role was reduced as significantly as it was. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.640 He's already missed a hundred and something snaps this seasons. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.200 He didn't he missed that many snaps two seasons combined. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.319 We're in Week four, so in an entire two seasons, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.200 he's already missed snaps on the field that he hasn't 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.240 done in the last two years. But here's how it 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.839 breaks down. Why now, well, people say, well, we could 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.840 did this in the off season, Well, you actually couldn't. 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.640 Because Jellen had things in this contract where if he's injured, 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.160 and this is a smart play by his agent, well 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.760 done agent, whoever his agent was last year. And you 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.320 see a lot of guys do this when they say, well, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.000 why are you wait along to get surgery? Well, Jalen 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:27.160 had in this contract that if I'm injured, you can't 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.440 cut me, and my salary is guaranteed. What did Jayalen 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.080 have last season? He had clean up risk surgery, probably 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.960 something that's not invasive, probably something that you wait till 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.920 you wait right up until the timeline and when it 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.280 kind of gets just done so that even if they 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.600 tried to give you a physical, you wouldn't pass the physical. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.800 So therefore, this year's contract was guaranteed no matter what. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.760 Coming into the draft, you didn't know what you're going 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.520 to get out of Michael Parsons. You hoped it was 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.959 a hope. Same thing for Kean O'Neil, same thing for 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200 Jabrille Coxon, any other player that you brought to this 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.600 football team. With the combination of Dan Quinn, you had 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.640 hoped that it was going to be something that was 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.480 what we're seeing right now. Then you get to the 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.600 season and Michael Parson turns out to be a beast. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.960 Keyan O'Neill turns out to be healthy and is playing well, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.120 and you're bringing jabirol Cox along and you have other 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.680 players playing well. So it comes to the point now 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.839 is next year when the contract is bigger. It's like 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:29.840 nine points something seven million dollars, nine guaranteed if he's injured. 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:35.200 So if you prolong this season and he didn't have 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.360 to have a catastrophic injury during the season, but what 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.800 he can do is when he gets to that that 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.760 deadline again, So you know what, I think I need 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.199 to get my knee scoped, and now I want to 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.000 get his knee scoped. And he can't pass the physical 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.920 by a certain date because I'm sure as agent will 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.200 tell him, no, no, we're gonna have that surgery two 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.840 weeks before that date is done or week before that 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.000 day is done. So you purposely can't pass your physical, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.400 and then now the Cowboys are on the hood no 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.480 matter what, for nine point two million dollars. So you 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.040 just say, you know what, you're not being very productive. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.000 We want to DMP you. We like what Jabrill has done, 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.840 we like we love what uh well Kean O'Neil has done. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.760 We super love what Michael Parsons has done. Let's do 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.480 you and us a favor. Let's just cut our losses. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.720 Whatever money you get, there's just seven million or whatever. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.559 He gets, whatever he gets, and and and and caveat 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.160 is if he just if he somehow Someway signs with 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.080 another team, whatever he signs for at that team gets 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.080 deducted from what the Cowboys owe him. Most likely no 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.080 one's going to sign him for more than a VET 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.439 minimum because they know the Cowboys still owe him money. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.439 And so you know they're going like, well, you're already 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.960 getting paid from the Cowboys, and he and he doesn't 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.840 have a bunch of suitors that are going out to 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.360 want to get him, right, It's like like people aren't 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.400 racing to the to the Jaylen Smith store to pick 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.959 up a Jayless Smith. You don't think. So, I think 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:07.520 he'll be signed quick. But you know what, you try 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:14.000 to crack a joke, right, But I think he'll be signed. Yeah, Well, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.160 but the thing is, I like, if a ton of 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.520 people are wanting to sign him, it drives the price up. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:26.520 So but I doubt I doubt it. The Cowboys last 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.200 year and this year, tried to trade for him, was 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.720 willing to take anything, just take him, give us a 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.880 six seven whatever, and no one budge. So I think 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.080 he'll land on his feet eventually. I don't think people 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.720 are racing to grab Jayleen Smith. Um. So that's where 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.040 we're at on the Jaylen Smith deal. I think we 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.240 all agree that this was going to happen. We thought 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.600 either this offseason, last offeason, this upcoming off season. The 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.120 timing was a surprise to all of us. But they 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.240 gave jay Like the respectable part is he gets his 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.800 money for the rest of this year, and you still 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.200 get a chance to go out there and find another home. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.560 It's still earlier in a year. And if it doesn't 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.120 happen this week or next week, it's a long season. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.200 People get hurt, teams looking for play, guys get banged up. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.200 So and then it gives you a chance to kind 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.000 of get a footing for the neck for the off season, 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.000 because if you keep putting bad film out there and 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.679 you keep getting DMPs or less snaps, that doesn't help 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.040 your value. That didn't help your value going Toto dolls 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.520 because people are gonna say, well, hell, the cowboys who 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.679 drafted you and gave you a contact extension. They don't 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.040 want you. There must be something, and you're healthy. There 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.439 might be something deeper than the situation. So cutting him 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.680 now gives him an opportunity to find a new home, 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.319 and hopefully that he does and he bounces back. My only, 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:47.559 my only laugh at the Jaalen situation is my people, 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.880 My people, Jalen spits spent the half a million dollars 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.160 to getting number nine. Yeah, somebody's texted me then said 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.600 that was and they only got to wear for four 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.760 games half a million dollars. I get it. I ain't 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.199 count love them is money, but I don't care what 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:02.800 the money. You make half a million and a half 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.120 a million, half a million, half a million and it's gone. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.280 I don't know what he's gonna do it the number 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.520 nine chain, Maybe I'll turn that back in and get 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.719 the diamonds and the gold melted down or whatever. But 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.320 got a little bit smart. What the money? So I 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.640 think this is a purely financial move. I mean, like 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.880 you said, the Cowboys got him before that he could 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.600 get them. Yep. And so you know in this day 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.720 and age with Kobe, because he got he got him 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:31.040 last offseason. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean this day and age. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.920 I mean, you Neil already missed two games because of COVID. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.680 The depth is there. I mean, yes, he's not the 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.160 player he once was, but for a few snaps, you know, 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.560 being that backup guy, being a guy who came in 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.560 for a few snaps. And you know, we've talked about 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.120 being really good for twenty percent of the snaps and 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.600 you suck at sixty percent of the snaps. Maybe that 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.800 was his role now, I mean sucking. I just well, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:58.600 I just don't think that he was that bad a 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.440 guy to cut him because of a guy or a 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.800 player that bad of a player that you cut him 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.760 for performance reasons. Giving you need depth, you need with 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.840 the COVID situation, all that kind of stuff. I think 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.680 this is all find a fat player, the overweight player, 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.720 the player that's out of shaping, the player that can't 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.840 can't play as the same player. Yeah. I think I 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.240 think this team the big picture. This team is saying 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.920 we like what we have going forward. Yeah, and and 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.760 and for for us it's like I say, for us, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.080 but for the Cowboys, it's more so of big picture. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.200 You're not gonna be here. You see that name just 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.800 he coming over to the dark side. He said us 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.560 for us a professional who steps up in his role. Though, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.280 Jabril Cox, I think, Jabril Cox, there we go again. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.120 Is he ready for it? He better be. We're gonna 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.720 find that. But but here's how you find out. Yeah, right, 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.080 you find out now. And and I hope that this 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.920 is a is a wake up call for Jabril Cox. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.640 If you weren't ready, I think you say, all right, 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.640 here's my chance because they need dan Quinn this, this 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.040 entire defense needs to know where are we going forward? 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.120 And it wasn't Jaylen Smith like you drafted Micah and Jabrill. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.480 When you made those two draft picks, it was a 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.080 it was a knock at the door to Jalen and 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.200 Layton Vanderesh when you didn't give late in that contract. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.600 That when you didn't pick up his fifth year option 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.440 and you drafted two linebackers, that was a that was screaming. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.360 I blame Joe Brady for doing what he did because 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.600 he forced him to put this kid back at linebacker. 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.720 So you had Laton over here, I mean she had 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.840 Laton in the middle and the other two kids young 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.280 kids playing and they're like, wow, this is this is 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.480 this is our future? What better way didn't start? Now? 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.000 You re asked this to our pro personnel guy doing 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.120 the during the summer. Remember, I said, what happens if 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:03.480 Jabrille shows you're enough in training camp that he can 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.679 he can play, just enough to get him on the field, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.040 what do you do during the season with your veterans? 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:15.400 This is the answer, man, this along with the money. See, 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.680 you're smart by what you did cleaning up your wrist. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.560 You got your money, but you didn't play during the preseason. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.959 You let your real play during the preseason. You had 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.440 Luke Gifford played during the preseason. Neil knew, knew the defense. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.920 He lines people up better front end, back. It's nowhere. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.800 It's nowhere. He won except he got his money. He's 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.680 where else did he win? You didn't play during the preseason? 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.639 That a few times they'll put you in there. Uh, 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.240 the last show did a great job. He either fourth 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.880 leading tackler tackler. We've been talking about this for three 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.960 years now. He's a great open field, down the field tackler. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:07.200 But in every sacks, hurries, fumbles, recoveries, interception, he is zero. 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.679 What the tangible plays? What do he give you in 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:18.159 a tangible way. What does he give you if you 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:24.200 gotta give the team something that equals He has no pluses. 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.399 And I'm not gonna kill this kid. I went to 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.080 this kid before this offseason. Hey man, give us something 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.639 the positive to talk about. We need to see that 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.240 guy we saw three years ago. Hey man, you got me. 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.840 You know he's never treated the media bad, He's never 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.200 treated nobody bad. You walk up to him right now. 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.800 He's a good dude. He's a good dude. But this 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.360 is the business. But that lost his skills. The injury 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.639 took away his skills. And as the league get bigger, 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.440 better and faster and more focused on what you can't do. 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.359 It's like every time he went out there, if it 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.320 could have been a first down run, they oh, there's Jalen. 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:04.520 Oh that's he gonna match it what I tight in 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.280 coming out on this side, receive over here, slot back 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.399 over here, that's running back out of the back fielding 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.000 on the wheel route. That's going to leave him the 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.720 number one Guess what who can he run with? I'm 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.159 not kidding any kid. Time was up Fellas. There was 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.840 a theory out there that he you know, he signed 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.840 early he signed that big contract early maybe you know, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.240 and part of that was because he knew then he 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:26.840 might not hold up for a long time, so he 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.000 signed early to get it. I just feel like this man, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.359 he got his money. Man, you just do got he 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.240 did it right, you know, Yeah, he got his money. 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.520 The Cowboys offer it. I guess they were trying to 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.119 I don't know what they were trying to do. What 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.960 that was, you know, hey, play this cat and mouse 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.719 game with who was it was a zeke zeke? They 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.480 trying to play, like hey, because I remember Stephen saying, well, 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.640 whatever is left over is left over us. We'll give 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:52.600 and they kind of like dangled the fruit in front 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.720 of Jalen and then it was like thank you, and 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.040 he snatched it and took it. So hey, you know 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.879 again the cowboys said, a fool me once, you fool 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.760 me again when you got the risk surgery. You won't 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.600 fool me three times in a row. Just real quick. 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:06.960 I don't want to spend any more time on this, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.000 and we have to. But what does this do because 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:10.520 we gotta get a break, what does this due to 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.800 the locker room? Nothing? Does it put guys on the others? 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.600 Does it dude, nothing nothing, nothing business And this is business. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.160 This is business, guys, this is this is business. And honestly, 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.879 like Jalen isn't a big enough of a player and 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:29.239 contributor to kind of you know what I'm saying, like, 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:34.840 if anything, it's more so of Okay, finally because because 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.480 because if if I, if Nate can put on the 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:43.399 film and watch and I'm like, Jesus Christ, what are 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.000 they saying in the meeting room you talk about like 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.800 what is it? Does? It actually makes the meeting makes 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.800 locker room a little bit more happy because they're saying, 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.840 we watch film for the last four weeks and coaches 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.400 putting out like they know what they're watching, and they're like, dude, 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.160 how are you You're supposed to be an a gap? 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:00.520 What the hell are you doing over here in the 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:02.720 sea gap? Why are you running this way? We're going 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.360 this way. So when you're release him, you go okay. 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.760 Finally we get into a place now where coaches are saying, 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.840 because if I'm a player, if I'm Jibril Cox, and 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.000 I'm saying I am just as good as him, why 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.240 the hell does he keep getting the opportunities and I don't? 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.359 And we watch film weekend and week out, and you 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.600 showed me every weekend that the guy who's playing in 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.600 front of me can't It's just like Polar last year, 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.480 can't get there. It's just like pol last year. It's 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:33.760 just it's the same exact thing you're telling Gallimore. You know, hey, man, 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.800 you know really, like how do you explain that to 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:39.359 a player? Like how do you sit in the meeting 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.160 room where you when you go, Michael, what a hell 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.280
