So it doesn't always 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.119 mean and doesn't always translate to success. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.960 But off to a great start for the Cowboys. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.319 Back here with Nick Harris, John Machoda, Isaiah stanback, Chris 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.520 Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomens, gentlemen, how we doing, 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.080 Johnny for the playoffs right now? Oh, you're just fast forward. 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.480 I mean at least fast forward to the San Francisco game. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.240 It's like you're playing Madden. You're playing Dynasty Mode. You 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.400 just whooped up on the first two teams, and now 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.000 you're trying to sim weeks three and. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.000 Mey two years ago, I wouldn't have said that, But 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.319 now when you go, twelve wins, twelve wins, I'm ready 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:47.840 for the playoffs. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.840 Let's see where this thing matches up. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:50.240 Let's go. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.080 We just got back to football season. We were excited 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.720 about Hawksnard, we were excited about training camp. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.120 Oh I'm excited, But you're excited to see is this different? 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.480 Yeah, that thing, because that's where it'll be. That is 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.680 where it will be decided. They win fourteen fifteen games 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.000 are rare season. They will be decided there in January. 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:08.680 That's true. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.760 That's kind of what it feels like around Cowboys fans 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.360 right now. It's like a it's a cautious optimism of Okay, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.720 they look really really good, right and it feels different. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.280 But we've said it before and here we are again. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:20.440 It's just stay healthy, man. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.960 It's like having your heart broken like a hundred times 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.560 and you just you just keep coming back ready to 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.440 go every single year. But we could fast forward to 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.680 January if it means no injuries and we can just 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.480 get there. So I'm with you on that boat, John, Yeah, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.880 just get us to January. Let's start January tomorrow so 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.480 we have no injuries. We can go to the playoffs 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:39.120 fully healthy. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.160 Was there any anxiety as a player, like looking ahead 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.120 like that? Or was it truly a week to week game? 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.000 Week to week? There wasn't like one point where you 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.160 looked ahead. I mean no, I mean you really can't 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:54.720 in this league. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.480 I mean, I mean, I guess it's natural to look forward, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.040 but you can't look past any teams. You mean, you 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.799 snap yourself out of it relatively quickly, even if you do. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.440 Even if you do, I mean my first year here 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.320 in Dallas, we went thirteen to three, who weren't losing 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:06.160 many games. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.359 But you still had to look at it a week 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.079 to week thing. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.639 I mean, because ultimately you could be out or you 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.320 might not even have a job the following week. I mean, 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.600 that's just the reality of this league. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:13.800 You know. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.720 There's Oh, it's way different for the players than it 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.760 is for media. I mean, I say that as a 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.600 media member. If I was a player, I'm thinking every 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.880 single game, every single time i can get a chance 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.480 to even touch the ball, or if I'm on defense, 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.200 make a play like, I'm looking at it as it's 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.480 going to help me as well as the team to 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.079 stay in this league longer. So I would oh, man, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.480 if I was a player, No, I would never look 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.440 at it that way. Every chance I get to be 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.360 out there like a duce Van duz Von right now, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.560 would be fine with them playing twenty five games this season, 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.960 you know. But from the media perspective, I always like 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.080 to make that clear. I'm talking about myself that I'm righting, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.760 and that's because you I mean, I mean, I started 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:54.200 covering the team in twenty eleven, So who's left from then, Tyron? Yes, yeah, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.839 you know. So, I mean, I'm just saying I've seen 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.200 a lot of you know. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:58.800 A lot of turnovers. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.760 I've seen a lot of good regular seasons. To me, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.080 this season will be judged on what they do in January, 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.680 so that's why. But I am really looking forward to 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.680 the San Francisco game a. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:06.520 Lot, Isaiah. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.840 Do the players even know the schedule outside of who 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:10.720 they're playing that week? 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.960 Like if I if I mention I did, I can 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:14.720 speak for myself. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.400 They probably know, Okay, Cardinals this week, and then they 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.680 probably know the Patriots because of Zeke. I mean, because 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.400 you have Zeke on the other side at least some 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:23.080 of the guys too. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.560 You're just not looking that far in advance. I can 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.880 only speak for myself. I mean, but I really didn't. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.599 I mean, you look at the schedule obviously before training 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.880 camp and like, Okay, oh it's gonna be tough or whatever. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.000 You know, I can't wait to play this person. But 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.960 once you get into the season, it's there's so much 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.920 information being conveyed. There's so much as you're digesting. I mean, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.760 you're literally a computer. You're you're expected to be a computer, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.560 learn all this information right, and then as soon this 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.520 this week is over, pushed the delete but in clear 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.680 space so that you can now upload some more for 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:50.359 the next team. 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.320 And that's literally how it operates. 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.200 So That's why it's funny with Kyle's like you remember 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.440 when sudden touch happened. I'm like, nah, I literally, once 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.760 the week is over, I delete the information. I deleted 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.479 it out of my head. It's gone. I'm onto the 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.160 next one. Okay, give me more information so I can 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.040 upload it. I only have so much, so much of 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.040 a hard drive space. I have it, boom, I execute 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.440 it all right, then it's gone out my head. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:11.120 Okay, next week. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:11.919 Let me ask you this. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.799 Maybe I'm not saying Arizona's a pushover by any means, 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.599 but you're going into a game against a lot of 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.120 backups and a Joshua Dobbs, but a Baker's not going 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.000 to be out there. Would you try to integrate anything 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.080 new into your game just to see if it works? Like, oh, 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:25.640 I got this new release, let me try it out 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.160 in the second or third quarter once we kind of 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:27.680 built a lead. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:28.960 Would you would you do any of that? 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:29.240 Yeah? 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.160 I think you do that every game because, okay, because 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.920 there's different person there's a different personnel in the field, right, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.240 so every player is different. You're always trying to figure out, okay, hey, 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.520 versus this type of personnel versus this type of player. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.640 What can I get away with? Right? What can I do? 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:41.799 Does this work? Does this? Okay? 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.320 Now that doesn't work? Okay, all right, that's not good. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.359 All right, let's not put that on film anymore. Or 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.800 I don't want to expose this too early, all right, 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.000 I don't want to. I don't want to kill him 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.120 more it. I don't want to empty my my Christmas bag. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.080 Don't make Kellen Moore into a verb. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.560 Absolutely, I don't want to kill him. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.360 I don't want to empty my Christmas bag too early? Right, 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:57.800 I got I still got some goodies in here. Let's 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.720 keep it under wraps. If we don't have to unveil it, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.240 let's keep it there. I mean, much like much like 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.560 coach McCarthy. What he's doing right now on the offensive 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.480 side of the ball. He's doing a great job. Week one, 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.800 he put turpet in the backfield. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:08.800 What does that do? Okay? 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.320 All right, I'm trying some things out. Is he capable 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.040 of carrying this workload? Can we rely on him? Can 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:14.680 we trust him? 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:15.159 Also? 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.960 Was put the league on notice that, hey, we have 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.040 the ability to do this the next week. Okay, we 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.200 come back, all right, we're playing against the Jets now, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.080 I'm gonna throw the ball to freaking like eight different 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.200 people and them you know what I'm saying, Like everybody 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.920 touches the ball, everybody's capable. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.000 I'm moving guys around. 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.599 Okay, guess what. Now I have more trust Now I 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.880 believe that my guys can do it. Also, the league 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.200 is on notice, So every week you're going to continue 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.400 to expel and expand upon what you're trying to do. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.160 But a lot of it is just trial and error. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.040 Can I do it? Okay? Cool? 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:40.279 Right? 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:41.920 Boom perfect a Right? That works? Put it in the back. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.920 All right? Does that work? Okay? Yeah, you're capable. Okay, cool, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:44.520 put it in the back. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.600 And then when you really need all of that stuff, 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.560 you throw it all on the table and you're like, okay, cool, 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.560 what can I make with this? 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.480 You know, based upon your opponent. 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.480 But you're not going to try out new things kind 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.560 of to Nick's question. You're not going to try out 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.960 new things against Sauce Gardner. You're not going to try 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.440 out new things against Jalen Ramsey. You're gonna do what 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.760 works because you got to take advantage of all those snaps. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.040 But you don't know what works until you go out 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:04.920 there against those guys. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.120 I mean, you could see stuff that other guys do 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:08.760 against them that you say, okay, who had as the 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.240 weakness of him? But until you go against that person, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.440 you don't know what works because they're constantly adjusting as well. 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.760 Yeah, they're making their own moves. That's interesting to think 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.040 about because it's not only from a scheme standpoint, like 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.760 Isaiah's talking about with Kellamore and what he did last year, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.960 and you show all this early, but it's a little 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.000 bit too much and then you kind of have to 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.440 make up for it on the back end. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:29.800 It's not just scheme. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.239 It's individual plays, and it's individual players having to fine 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.360 detail every part of their game. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.560 I would say with Sauce specifically, just because you brought 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.600 up the name, you're not gonna see length and size 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.000 like you see with Sauce on the boundary every single week. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.080 So you would almost want to try new things against 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.680 Sauce because it's like, Okay, I'm gonna have to do 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.280 something different here because arms are a last to grow 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.160 over here, you know. But secondly, I don't feel like 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.560 we're going to see even seventy percent of what this 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.760 offense looks like until San Francisco, La back to Really 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.840 that's just me thinking because you know, you go into Arizona, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.560 you know, again a really good opponent, especially in the 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.040 second level. I like a couple of other guys in 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.960 the second level, but I don't feel like they're gonna 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.000 have to open up similar to how they've done in 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.080 the first two weeks. You go into New England, You're 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.640 probably gonna have to open up quite a bit there, 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.840 But then you go into San Francisco with probably like 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.840 a fifty percent unscouted look, so that would be ideal. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.440 I don't feel like you're gonna see a lot until 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.880 the San Francisco game from this offense. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.160 If when I said earlier about just wanted to start 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.000 the playoffs, I will give you one thing that I 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.160 am looking forward to as a season unfolds, and it 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:36.040 is how teams react to what they're seeing from Mike 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.480 McCarthy's Cowboys offense, because there is going to be a 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.720 lot of differences, and I think we've seen some of 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.240 them already, and it'll be interesting to see as we 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.240 get in the later in the season when there is more, 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.599 you know, film on what did they do in these situations? 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.680 Who's lining up where in these situations, it'll be interesting 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.960 to see what those tendencies maybe are. Maybe those are 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.920 some things that you can draw off of. But also 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.199 I was thinking when he said he was as a 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.360 player looking at the schedule, I was just thinking, Yeah, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:03.839 if you were a player in this team, I'm sure 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.440 the first thing that jumped out to you is that 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.920 December game is Buffalo. Every time, every time I schedule, 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.280 it just jumps out, like, oh man, December, Like you know, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.800 Buffalo is gonna be on the schedule, and Buffalo. You're like, 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.480 let's do this in September, October or something. You see 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:19.600 it's like late December. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.040 Yeah, every time I think about it, I have to 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.040 put a hoodie on. I'm not looking forward to the weather. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.079 And it's an extra one down here, lay up here 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:27.480 in Dallas. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.280 You think about that stuff, like in my time in 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.920 New England, like literally it was a warm game in 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.719 comparison to what we were experiencing in practice in Foxborough, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.080 Like we were literally practicing in minus was a. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.920 Minus fifteen, minus twenty. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.880 It was one of those conditions. It was zero degrees 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.200 and it was like thirty miles per gus. That's what 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.000 the temperature was and coaches like, whatever it is. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.080 Outside, we're in it. And we were like dang. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.600 And then like we went to go playing an indoor 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:52.280 we were gonna play a Buffalo and it was like 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:52.880 twenty degrees. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.240 We were like, oh, this feels awesome. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.360 That's so interesting to me too, because I mean, you 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.600 think about it in two ways of One, it's. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.360 Like how how do you ever. 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.040 Practice in those type of conditions? But also then when 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.280 you get to the game, it's like, the game's nothing right. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.120 I'm trying to get through that. 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.760 As anybody won the Super Bowl without having to go 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.440 through that. I'm trying to think of these Rams did 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.120 like I just I'm I'm a big proponent of Like 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.080 I think what he's talking about, and I know this 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.640 isn't going to sound good for the Cowboys, but I 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.640 think that's ideal. Yeah, So that those are the conditions 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.960 to be you have to build for winning championships, because 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.480 I think that at some point you are going to 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.240 have to go through. But the Rams are the one 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.240 I'm thinking of right now. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.760 They have to play. They're one of the few teams. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.240 That I can think of because everyone else like you're 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.520 going to have to go through one of those games. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.160 I think of how many times the Patriots had to 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.120 win tough games like I mean, they had to win 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.400 tough games at home and weather conditions and stuff like that. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.560 But there are just so many games in that Patriots 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.600 dynasty run that they're not in great weather conditions. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.839 They're not in the you know, the best you. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.439 Could argue, maybe Tampa Bay to Tampa Bay didn't necessarily 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.199 have to go through anything crazy like that, but I 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.559 mean Kansas City every time New England won it, Philadelphia, 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.880 New England again, Denver at times. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.199 Maybe. Yeah, I mean that could. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.400 Probably be one Patriots January Ravens. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.559 Late January and Philadelphia would probably be the one here 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.080 if the Cowboys don't win the division. So that's even 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.280 more incentive to win the division because if they do, 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:20.800 then they can avoid that. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.200 The Rams had to play at Green Bay on November 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.920 twenty eighth and at Baltimore on January second, So I 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:26.840 assume they got one. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.640 Of those two with with some cold hoodier two. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.520 Yeah, a little bit of chili chili. Okay, that's interesting 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:37.000 to think about, but yeah, the elements play a factor 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.320 into it. The schedule doesn't necessarily play a factor into it, at. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.760 Least looking ahead for the Cowboys. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.960 All right, we did our helmet stickers yesterday. We didn't 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.800 have John Matchoda, and we're also revealed a fan vote, 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.680 but we'll we'll let John go first. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.360 So you guys said you already did we. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.280 Had, Yeah, yesterday we did Mike McCarthy. That was mine, right, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:12:00.760 Michah Parsons was Nick Harris's, okay, and then Isaiah Standback said, 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:01.960 d Law. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.440 Yeah, those those are all So you're leaving me basically 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:12.280 with Ceedee Lamb real defense and Brandon Aubrey. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:13.800 Oh, the two good ones. 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.160 I'll go with Aubrey. None of these really fit Brandon, man, I. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.439 Gotta give those to you earlier. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.199 Yeah, I would say, I mean, you go five for 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.079 five and make one from fifty five that looked like 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.520 it had probably been good for seventy. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.760 That's probably a good good day at the office. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:27.960 There. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.240 He's exceeded my expectations already. I guess I just had 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.880 like a low bar. I didn't know what to expect 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:39.800 from Brandon Aubrey. So for him to uh to kick that, well, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.920 I'm pretty impressed by that. 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:43.240 I don't know. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.719 I wanted to donate last week, So I'm going to 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.680 don't it again early. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.720 What's the significance, because that's how many kicks he's missed. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.600 The zero kicks missed, it looks like it's got some 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.440 green frosting on it. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:56.960 He went to Notre Dame, that's all. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.480 That played soccer a name. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.000 Yeah, we don't count those. That's a kick. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:00.280 You know. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.000 He hasn't missed anything since then. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.680 Also just makes me look across the rest of the 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.360 league and just see how tough it is to find 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.640 quality kicking. And frankly, the Cowboys didn't make that big 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:14.920 of an investment in it when. 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.520 You think of miss Michel No, Yeah, it is funny. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.040 I do like hearing the backstories of like with it's 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:26.400 just very clear that kickers are kind of a sore 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.960 spot with Jerry Jones and and he can be pretty 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:31.920 critical of the kickers, and I just think it's funny 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.400 how he's come out in the last few days and 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:34.120 talked about how like you. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.760 Got a kicker, Yeah, I got a kicker. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:37.760 You know, we didn't get in the red zone, or 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.320 we didn't score touchdowns in the red zone, but hey, 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.559 that's because we wanted to see what we had from 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:41.960 the kicker. And then he even made the joke the 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.199 other day about how they put that hit that was 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.480 on Steven's plate, that was for Steven to figure out. Hey, 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:49.920 you know, and I think Steven said it yesterday on 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.560 the radio about how like, oh yeah, now there's a 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.200 lot of pressure on the owner to for us to 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.280 find this kicker and because remember they went, it's not 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.840 like that this has been their guy since like drafted 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.360 him or something like that. I mean, there was some 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.400 real uncertainty there about who was going to be all 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.680 the way going into training camp. And uh, there were 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.960 definitely some days at training camp where I don't think 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.160 that I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, Aubrey's the guy. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.280 And to have that game the other day, yeah, no, 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:13.920 I'll give it him. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.960 The moment during training camp whenever they had the mojo 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.200 moment with this Kno was still in the building and 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.080 Brandon Aubrey and they want to combine. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.840 Like one for eight. Yeah, the media was just like any. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.640 That was a Saturday practice. We were live during that 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.440 practice and Bill Jones got hit with a football and 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:30.520 me during. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.200 That practice, Yeah you didn't catch. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.960 It though, Hey, hey, I don't think it was special 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.120 coming we were more worried about the ball. 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:39.320 When the ball you know what. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.800 That's why? 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.080 Oh that's Brandon Aubrey. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.920 Though, Yeah, give credit where credit is due. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.760 Fourth Cowboys rookie kicker to make at least five field 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.240 goals in a game in the first one since Dan 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.920 Bailey did it against Washington back in twenty eleven. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.560 So that was your first year covering the team. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.760 Yeah, times, that was wild though, I mean even that year, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.800 like you didn't really know who and then but though 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.080 the years that followed. For a few years there, man 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.680 Dan Bailey was like Zach Martin to where you just 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:11.360 took it for granted. 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:12.800 You're just like, yeah, yeah, no, I know he's kicking. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.160 I gotta finish right in this tweet or whatever like that, 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.560 like you're not even paying And then it got to 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.080 a point where you're like, oh, well, we got to 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.240 watch these kickers because you just never really know which 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:21.840 way it's going to be. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:22.960 And I think that's more of. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.640 The norm in the NFL than having a guy like 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.480 Dan Bailey who was so automatic there. I mean, other 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.640 than Justin Tucker, there's a lot of high highs. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:31.960
