Speaker 6: I'm sorry?

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I mean meet two sister girl sor right,

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: we were in the same boat. But we also had

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: some good, cool things that happened. Yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: introduced our new defensive coordinator, mister Mike Zimmer. Christy, I

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: want to, obviously, before we get to some big takeaways

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: from yesterday's press conference, you were here when Mike Zimmer

36
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: was a defensive coordinator for the Cowboys.

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: What was that late nineteen nineties.

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: Well, he started in nineteen ninety four, two thousand and six. Yeah, yeah,

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 5: So I've known Mike a long time. I'm interested in

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: y'all's first impressions because again, I've known him a long time,

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: and you know, the reputation is that he's kind of,

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 5: you know, crusty, and you know, hard nosed and things

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 5: like that, and I know that obviously it's first impressions

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 5: with the press conference or maybe what you had seen

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: from him on the sidelines when he was head coach

46
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 5: of the Vikings. But Aisha, what were your thoughts listening

47
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 5: to the press conference or Nicole, what were your thoughts

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 5: being there and seeing him for the first time. It

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: was pretty cool.

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: He didn't give me, like he used the word grouchy

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: in the press conference. He didn't give me grouchy or

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: the vibes that his reputation precedes him. And he kind

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: of touched on the way that his coaching style has

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: pretty much evolved the last few years.

55
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 4: And how it's how it's improved. And I like that.

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: I think that he had that coaching style as far

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: as like requiring discipline, and I think that'll really impact

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: this Cowboys defense for sure.

59
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 6: Jess, Yeah, I didn't know what to expect. I went

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 6: in there kind of just, you know, I wanted my

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 6: own perspective and I didn't want his reputation to kind

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 6: of impact what I was going to see. He's hilarious.

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 6: I don't know what anybody's talking about. He's so funny.

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 6: That whole press conference, he was so firm with his answers,

65
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 6: but then there were moments like when his watch went off.

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 6: He's so funny. That was my first impression, just media

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 6: to coach is he was really great with us, and

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 6: he was really open, really honest with his answers, and

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 6: he didn't have to be right. He could have gone

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 6: in there, had short answers, not really said much, but

71
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 6: he was very open, very honest. I always appreciate that

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 6: out of a coach.

73
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: And he was all smiles with McCarthy.

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 5: I think they're really yeah, yeah, you can see they

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 5: get along well and respect each other. But I've always

76
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 5: said the thing that I learned about Mike Zimmer because

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: when he arrived in nineteen ninety four, he was the

78
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: assistant to the assistant. So you know how you have

79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: the position coaches. So at the time, Jimmy Johnson had

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: just left and so this is Barry Switzer's first year

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 5: as head coach in nineteen ninety four, but most of

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: the staff was still Jimmy's staff that had come with

83
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 5: him from Miami Hurricanes, and so Dave Campo at the

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 5: time was the defensive backs coach. So Zimmer comes on board.

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 5: He had been a college coach at Washington State, Weber State,

86
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 5: and he is the assistant to Campo. And then we

87
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 5: lose another one of our defensive coordinators. After winning the

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 5: Super Bowl again the following season, and Dave Campo gets

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 5: promoted to defensive coordinator. Mike Zimmer goes from assistant defensive

90
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 5: backs coach to defensive backs coach, and so that's when

91
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 5: it's Deon Sanders, That's when it's Darren Woodson and George

92
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 5: Teg and James Washington and just really great great players

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 5: Kevin Smith, and then Dave Campo becomes head coach in

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: two thousand. Campo was head coach for three years and

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: Zimmer gets promoted to defensive coordinator. And then after three

96
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: years and three straight five and eleven seasons, Campo was

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: no longer head coach. Bill Parcells came in, and I

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 5: think one of the greatest compliments to Mike Zimmer is

99
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: that Parcells came in and his background is defense. He's

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: a defensive guy. You know, Bell Belichick had been his

101
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator for years in New York. And he keeps

102
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: Mike Zimmer and Parcels also keeps the four to three

103
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 5: defense for another year. Then the second year that of Parcels,

104
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: he decides, Okay, we're going to go with three four.

105
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 5: That was parcells background with the Giants, and he kept

106
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: Zimmer on and Zimmer changed had to learn going from

107
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 5: four to three to three four. But Zimmer was here

108
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: for the entire term of Parcells. And it was after

109
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: Bill Parcells retired after the two thousand and six season

110
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: and Wade Phillips came in as head coach. And of

111
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 5: course Wade had been a long time defensive coordator and

112
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 5: had his own defense and stuff like that. And that's

113
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 5: when Mike left, went to Atlanta for a year, Cincinnati

114
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 5: for a few years as coordinator and then ultimately head

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: coach of the Vikings. But one more when he first

116
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 5: arrived and his whole time here, man, he'd let those

117
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: dbs have it. And I learned so much about the

118
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: English language from Mike Zimmer that the same the same

119
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 5: four letter word, the one you're thinking of right now,

120
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 5: in one sentence, in one sentence on the football field

121
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 5: at practice, you can use that same four letter word

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 5: in one sentence as a a now, an adverb and adjective,

123
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 5: a transitive and intransitive verb. But dangling participles. He can

124
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 5: let him have it yesterday, let him have it.

125
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: How he will let his players have it.

126
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: But they always come back and say, like Xavier Rhodes,

127
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: uh they come back and say, you know, I appreciate you.

128
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 4: For staying on me.

129
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: So I think that'll be a good thing for a

130
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: lot of these guys in that defensive room. When you

131
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: talk about the players though, that he's developed and how

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: to hand in being some of the greats, how do

133
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: you feel like he can.

134
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: Do that for some of these guys on this Cowboys defense.

135
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 5: You still have guys that are young in their career.

136
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 5: This will be Bland's third year, but you also have

137
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: a nice mix of veterans. Here's the thing though, with

138
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 5: the veterans. Is Stefan Gilmour going to be back? Is

139
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: Jordan Lewis going to be back? Is jay Ron Kurse

140
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: going to be back? So this defensive backfield may be

141
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 5: turning younger again just out of necessity. Either the Cowboys

142
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 5: can't match or don't want to match what some of

143
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: these guys are going to command in free agency and

144
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 5: they'll have to restock through the draft or maybe sign

145
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: some younger free agents.

146
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I wanted to first answer the original question

147
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: I got. I was just listening to you. I was

148
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: listening to Christy story, trying to take it all in.

149
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: But uh, he's precious clearly. I mean clearly, he's just

150
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, so much of like football and some

151
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: of the even even just someone what you were saying

152
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: about him as a person. It just reminds me in

153
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: the being able to use that particular word in all

154
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: those different ways. I'm like, oh, that sounds like the

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: military to me.

156
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: See, I was going to ask you, it reminds me

157
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 5: of like you probably had drill sergeants that but but

158
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 5: but but later you appreciated them.

159
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 6: Oh.

160
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And it's and it kind of likens to why

161
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: I've grown to be very excited about this higher because

162
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: I do think and he he's mentioned it, he mentioned

163
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: it yesterday, is that you know, great players want to

164
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: be coached, that they want to be pushed. And I

165
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: had two drill sergeants when I came into the military

166
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: that really made the most impact on me. One of them.

167
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm still stay in contact with her every day. She's

168
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: she was so influential with just the demand of being

169
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: a leader and letting me know like you can't do

170
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: certain things because people are looking to you, and just

171
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: kind of she set the standard for me. But we're

172
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: about like five six weeks in. No one that long.

173
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: It was like three weeks in rather and we had

174
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: a drill surgeon comp. I'll never forget him. His name

175
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: is Drill Sign Gross. He got as tall as me.

176
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: He was just coming back from Special Forces school. He

177
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: had just finished Special Forces. And I don't know if

178
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: y'all know. As much as it's the important folks, it's

179
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: the ones that do you know, the stuff that people

180
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: that play call of duty think they'd be doing. They're

181
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: important and their level, their standard is so different, it's

182
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: so much more heightened. And I remember she brought out

183
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: the side of me that made me be a leader.

184
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: But he pushed me in a way that I can't

185
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: really put into words. And I think he made me

186
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: understand how much of being an example, you know, meant,

187
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: but also to the demand of my physicality and what

188
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: I needed to be physically and put into my body

189
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: and structure my diet, and also to just hone into

190
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: those moments, like there's moments, even in the military, where

191
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is a minute, this is a

192
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: time that I have to step up here to show

193
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: people around me what it looks like and set the standard.

194
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: And I think Zimmerman has zimmer has that I think

195
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: he has that ability to capture players. You listen to

196
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: all these retired players and all these these are not

197
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: just your average players. These are Hall of Fame level

198
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: players talking about the impact that he made on them.

199
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: And so even though I'm sure he's a softy y'all

200
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: like outside of this, and I'm just being straight up

201
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: with you because you gotta have a switch. And because

202
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: even he mentioned his grandkids and you can tell how

203
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: his demeanor changed and he talked about his grandkids and stuff.

204
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: I think the time that he took it, he went

205
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: to Jackson State with Dion, and I think that when

206
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: you talk about his ability to you know, you mentioned Nicole,

207
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: how much he said, Okay, I took a step back,

208
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: and I even looked at some of my style and things.

209
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: A good balance of understanding the players of today and

210
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: being honest with yourself about the fact that they're different,

211
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: and then also too maybe sprinkling in like being hisself. Still,

212
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: I think it could be healthy for this team. It

213
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: can be healthy. And when you talk about the scheme parts,

214
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: answer the next part of your question really quickly, I

215
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna help everybody. Because he mentioned the word

216
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: fundamentals yeah, most multiple times yesterday. And I do think

217
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: when you look at this team and especially this defense,

218
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: when they did get into trouble, when they did make mistakes,

219
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, it was because the fundamentals

220
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: were slipping and there were things. So he is also

221
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: going to make sure that everyone understands the depth of

222
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: their position. And when I say that, I mean they

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: understand all the ins and outs of what the position

224
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: calls for. Because he requires a lot as well. Dan

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: Quinn required a lot, but he requires a lot specifically

226
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: to your position because the disguises and some of the

227
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: things he does. You gotta be you gotta be heady,

228
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: and you have to be disciplined. So I'm looking forward

229
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: to him. I know that was worthy, but I was

230
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: very excited hearing him because I was like, man, I know,

231
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: he gives me that vibe. He gives me that vibe

232
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: of he's gonna make you, He's gonna push you in

233
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: a way that maybe you've never been pushed before. And

234
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: it's been good.

235
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: How much of that do you feel like we've been

236
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: missing from this Cowboys team? That ability not saying and

237
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: not saying that dan Quinn wasn't that guy that could

238
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: switch it up and know the difference of being a

239
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: coach and being hard nosed, But how much of that

240
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: do you feel like this team has just been missing that,

241
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: holding you know, guys accountable and making sure they get

242
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: the best.

243
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 7: Out of it.

244
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 4: Well.

245
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 6: I think Zimmer mentioned the word discipline multiple times within

246
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 6: his press conference. I wanted to actually go back and

247
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 6: re listen and count how many times he mentioned discipline

248
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 6: because he kept saying it. And I don't necessarily think

249
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 6: that there's been a discipline problem within this team. I

250
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 6: think this team holds himselves accountable. I think the coaching

251
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: staff does that. I just think at times, back to

252
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 6: Wayosha's point, it's not as consistent as it should be, right,

253
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 6: And so even at the really difficult times or even

254
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 6: when you know the game's pretty much lost, the discipline

255
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 6: was gone for them at that point, and so I

256
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 6: think somebody like Zimmer coming in can only just make

257
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 6: them better. Something I wanted to bring up to and

258
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: how I think he can do that is he mentioned

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 6: coaching players how they need to be coached, so he

260
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 6: doesn't have a one size fits all way of coaching.

261
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 6: So he has a very specific way of how he's

262
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 6: going to coach these different players. So you can't coach

263
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 6: Michah Parsons the same way you're going to coach DeMar

264
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 6: vinover Shown, who's going to come in here after a

265
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 6: year off of injury, right, Like, that's just not how

266
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 6: you can coach within this league, especially now with the

267
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 6: younger players and kind of the generational shift that's been

268
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 6: talked about a lot, and so I think he has

269
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 6: a good concept of that. I think Mike McCarthy has

270
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 6: a good concept of that. I think he always has.

271
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 6: So seeing them work together and really cohesively is something

272
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see from both Mike and Mike.

273
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm also excited to see what kind

274
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: of impact this makes on Dak too. I was listening

275
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: to not listening, reading what Tony Romo had said about

276
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: just talking about Dan Quinn and how he benefited of

277
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: just knowing how to attack certain defenses.

278
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 4: And when you get a.

279
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: Defensive mind like Mike Zimmer, it'll just be interesting to

280
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: see how he kind of helps Dakh as well, because

281
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: working with Mike McCarthy and seeing what he did last year,

282
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: he even expressed like, Hey, I need you to keep

283
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: that going, you know, you had the top offense in

284
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: the NFL last year.

285
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: Just keep that going. But I don't know.

286
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: I think it'll be fun to see how Dak also

287
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: elevates his game, not that he did in this season.

288
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: Be across the hall kind of thing, and that's not

289
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 5: something that happens only during the bye week. Across the

290
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 5: hall meeting where the defensive coaches meet with the offensive

291
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 5: players and talk about what they see and this is

292
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 5: how we try and attack you, and you can do

293
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 5: this kind of thing. So yeah, that's going to be

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: an ongoing that's going to start in the off season

295
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 5: and be a progressive thing, particularly with the quarterback and

296
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: the defensive coordinator. But I'd like to add one more

297
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: thing about Zim, and that is that last year he

298
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: was out of the NFL, out of football, and I

299
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 5: think a lot of people thought that some fans and

300
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 5: even some media may think that he wasn't wanted for

301
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 5: a job, But there were a lot of things in

302
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 5: the personal life, and there was a personal tragedy where

303
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: he had lost his son. And last time I saw

304
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 5: Zim was about a year and a half ago at

305
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 5: the funeral for his son, and they were a coach

306
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: and family Mike's dad, a long time well regarded coach,

307
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: high school coach, and so Zim follows in dad's footsteps,

308
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 5: and then Adam, Mike's late son, followed in Grandpa and

309
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: Dad's footsteps. And I remember, of course, we were at

310
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 5: Valley Ranch at the time. And so anyway, Adam and

311
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 5: his two sisters grew up with Mike and Vicki there

312
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 5: in Collieville. And so Adam wasn't a big guy. It

313
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 5: was kind of undersized like it's dad. But he played

314
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 5: safety and ended up playing at Trinity University down in

315
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: San Antonio. But Adam from the time high school and college,

316
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 5: he'd be back and be summer it'd be the mini

317
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 5: camps or the off season stuff, and little Zim that's

318
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: what we call Adam, would be out there on the

319
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 5: field right with his dad coaching and almost almost like

320
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 5: not an official internship, but out there learning, learning the

321
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 5: family business. And then once he finished school, he went

322
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 5: into the NFL and was linebacker's coach, assistant linebackers coach,

323
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: then linebackers coach, and then eventually defensive coordinator for his

324
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 5: dad there in Minnesota. And at the funeral, all the

325
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 5: Minnesota linebackers were there, and like Harrison Smith the safety

326
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 5: and all the executives and coaching football operations, and his

327
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: final year Adham was consulting with the Bengals, and so

328
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: Zach the head coach and k executive for the Bengals

329
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 5: were there, and anyway, it was a wonderful tribute. But

330
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons why Mike was out of

331
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 5: football last year, dealing with, you know, a lot of

332
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 5: personal tragedy, and so he's overcome a lot in his life.

333
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 5: He had lost his wife, I think VICKI was only

334
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 5: like forty nine or fifty when she passed unexpectedly, and so,

335
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 5: you you know, things happen in life with these coaches,

336
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: in these players, and yet they overcome and persevere and

337
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 5: fall on you know, help get with the help of

338
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 5: the people that they brought along, and the people that

339
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 5: they brought along in their careers can then come back

340
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 5: and help them when they need it. So I'm so

341
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 5: happy for Mike that he's back in this area. And

342
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: Corey and Markey the daughter's Markie, by the way, she

343
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 5: interned here with that Cowboys broadcasting many years ago. So

344
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 5: there have been long time ties with the Zimmer family

345
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 5: with the Cowboys, and so much respect that the Jones

346
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 5: family and everyone in football operations has for all of

347
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 5: the Zimmers, And so those of us who've been here

348
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 5: a long long time are just thrilled to have Mike back.

349
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: Well, what's the difference from Zimmer back then until now

350
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: that you come.

351
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 5: He's always been a nice guy, you know, you just

352
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: you know, kind of crusty, you know, back then. Yeah,

353
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 5: I mean, we've all got a few more wrinkles. That's

354
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 5: really the only difference. No, But I think that when

355
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 5: you're the head coach, as he was for all those

356
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 5: years with Vikings, and you have to deal with the

357
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: media and just deal with all of the logistics and

358
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: be the face of the organization, you know, he'll probably

359
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 5: have a lot better relationship or closer relationship with me,

360
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: just because he's used to dealing with all of that,

361
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 5: and so I think that he'll be closer, not that

362
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 5: I don't know if the word more accessible, but you know,

363
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: until you have to deal with it at that level,

364
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 5: you know, now you kind of get how it works

365
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: in the back and forth. And there's so many more

366
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 5: media demands now than when he was here the first time,

367
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 5: that you know, I think it'll be fine and more

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: people will be able to see that side of Mike,

369
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 5: the whole person, and you know, just learning how he

370
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 5: sees the defense and the way that he talks about

371
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: the players and stuff. So I'm happy about it.

372
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

373
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 6: I also liked that he mentioned he always hoped he

374
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 6: would be able to come back and be back in Dallas.

375
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 6: And I think, you know, when you have a guy

376
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 6: like that who he said I wanted to be here

377
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 6: because they even asked, you know, did you hear Rex

378
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 6: Ryan's comments? And it's like, I hear a lot of

379
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 6: Rex Ryan's comments.

380
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: That was fun.

381
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's very good at making light out of those

382
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 6: kind of questions, right, it said what it needed to say.

383
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

384
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 6: But I also really liked how he said because the

385
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 6: question following was, well, you know, what was the process

386
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 6: of getting hired. There was a couple of days to land.

387
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 6: He said, I was sick in bed. There was no

388
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 6: question of whether I wanted to be here or not.

389
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 6: There was really no negotiating, there was no back and forth.

390
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 6: I was sick in bed. And so it's real funny

391
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 6: just the reminder of him talking about that story. Kind

392
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 6: of the narratives that build up when we don't actually

393
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 6: always know what's going on behind closed doors.

394
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: Nobody and the Joneses were in Vegas right for Super.

395
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 6: Bowl, and he again, I just and to your point,

396
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 6: Christy about getting closer to media and talking to media.

397
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 6: I really appreciate somebody who's open and honest about those

398
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 6: kind of things, because they don't always have to be right.

399
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 6: He could have just left it a mystery and said, oh, well,

400
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 6: it happened when it happened, or you know, some kind

401
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 6: of stereotypical answer, but he was like, Nope, there's no

402
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 6: secrets to hide. It's all out there, and I really

403
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: appreciate a coach that's willing to do that.

404
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: Well, he's got a lot of work to do, certainly

405
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: starting with players and then coaching hires will be breaking

406
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,200

00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,159

00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 3: he has to.

00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,800

441
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: The fact that why is he know your foolish at

442
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: this point?

443
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 6: That wasn't just the start, but he also knew was

444
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 6: a Taylor Swift reference.

445
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: So like, I feel like he just knew you and

446
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: new set and said, this is Taylor.

447
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: Swift, must be stopped.

448
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 6: You know. I made a whole little remix in my head.

449
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: I put on the song.

450
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 6: I made a whole little remix in my head about

451
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 6: the Cowboys defense and Mike Zimmer. So that's what I

452
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 6: do in my spare time case.

453
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,480

00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: Oh but no, ladies switching gears. Something that kind of

465
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: caught my eye this morning. Shout out to Brandon I

466
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 3: think he actually posted this. He Uh, Mike Zimmer was

467
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: touching on the impact and what he loves about Stefan Gilmour.

468
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: And that was last year when the Dallas Cowboys acquired

469
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: Gilboard to this defense.

470
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 4: Can you go ahead and play that Jesse Jesse.

471
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 5: Gilmore going from the Colts to the Cowboys.

472
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: Uh, to partner up now with Trayvon Diggs, who's been

473
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: one of the more exciting.

474
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 8: Players I think both ways.

475
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: In the NFL since he since he hit the bricks.

476
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 9: Well, you know the thing is, you know I worked

477
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 9: out Gilmore or I went to the workout when he

478
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 9: was come out of South Carolina. I loved him. You know,

479
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 9: he's long, good in and out of breaks.

480
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 5: Uh.

481
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 9: You know, he's been the I think three times All

482
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 9: Pro or something like that. So I liked him a

483
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 9: lot anyway, and he's he's got great acceleration. He's a tough,

484
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 9: competitive guy, very good to get in the press, you know.

485
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 9: And then you look at at Diggs and dig Diggs

486
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 9: has probably the best hands of any corner out there.

487
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 9: He catches everything that's why he gets a lot a

488
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 9: lot of interceptions. I know that he doesn't play with all.

489
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 9: I mean, his technique is hit and miss. Sometimes he's

490
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 9: a little bit of a river bowl gambler. And again

491
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 9: I do think he's good in the press when he

492
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 9: wants to get up there and press. Sometimes he lines

493
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 9: up five yards off and kind of side shuffles, and

494
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 9: you know he'll get beat on some double moves. So

495
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 9: you know, I do think if he would get a

496
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 9: little bit more discipline in his techniques and things like that,

497
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 9: he may not have as many interceptions, but he deny

498
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 9: a lot more players from getting the ball, and he

499
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 9: would give up less plays.

500
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: Obviously that weren't discipline there from Zimmer again last year and.

501
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 4: Certainly working with Stefan.

502
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: If, of course, he brings back Steffan this year, could

503
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: really take his game to new heights. What impact if

504
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: Zimmer were to bring back Stefan would that make on

505
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: this defense?

506
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, it does not Zimmer bringing back Stefan.

507
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones is the cap number. So I think it's

508
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 5: really more of the open market that it's going to

509
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 5: determine this. So last year Stefan counted nine point nine

510
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 5: to two million against the cap. I'm not going to

511
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: go by bass salary. I'm saying what's account against the cap.

512
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: So he was nine point nine to two million. That

513
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: was the fifth highest cap number of the Cowboys. The

514
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 5: only players that counted more were Dak d Law, Zach Martin,

515
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 5: and Tony Pollard. You look to the coming season and

516
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 5: they're of the top sixty contracts. So these are players

517
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: that are under contract. He would be nine if you

518
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 5: brought if you were able to bring him back at

519
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 5: the same number at two, at nine point nine two,

520
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 5: he would be the ninth highest paid player. Because what's

521
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 5: going to happen is Trayvon's number goes up markedly this year.

522
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: He's going to count fifteen point three uh, and then

523
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: Donovan Wilson is slated at seven point four. So there's

524
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 5: a couple of players in the secondary that are pretty high.

525
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: So can you do fifteen point three million and then

526
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 5: add another, let's say ten million for two of your cornerbacks? Well,

527
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 5: sure you can, but will you because how are you

528
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 5: going to be able to allocate everything? And honestly, until

529
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 5: they decide, and maybe they've made the decision and they're

530
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 5: working on the negotiations on the structure. But with dak

531
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: At over fifty nine million dollars, until you know how

532
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 5: that's going to happen, that's the first domino that has

533
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 5: to fall, and what resources do we have to allocate

534
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 5: to everyone else? So I know that Zim would love

535
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 5: to have Gilmore back. All of us would love to

536
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 5: have Gillmore back. I just don't know if it's going

537
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 5: to be financially possible.

538
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 4: Would that mean he would just have to take less

539
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 4: money stuff on?

540
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it depends on how other teams see him.

541
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 5: If you know, will they offer him the nine point

542
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: nine or even more so interesting.

543
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 6: Also into account the film that he's put on from

544
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 6: this season alone, because he had to be that guy

545
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 6: after Trey was out what week three, he had to

546
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 6: step up and be that guy. He had to be ready,

547
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 6: and he was when he came in here. He was

548
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 6: a plug and play guy. But to come in here

549
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 6: thinking you had tray Von on the other side, Trey's

550
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 6: not in anymore, and you have to really be the

551
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 6: older guy in that room. Because Jordan Lewis was still

552
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 6: coming back from his injury, he was still rehabbing a

553
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 6: little bit. You were that guy. So I would not

554
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 6: be surprised if other teams had interest in him, because

555
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 6: why wouldn't they. He had a phenomenal season. The only

556
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 6: thing is now that shoulder injury posts surgery to kind

557
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 6: of see how he heals up. But other than that,

558
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, other teams would be foolish not to

559
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 6: at least try to acquire and see if they can

560
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 6: get him, because he definitely shows, he showed this season

561
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 6: he has a lot of juice left in that tank.

562
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: It would be easier to just you know, I would

563
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: assume to bring him back from a just amatic standpoint,

564
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: but also to you know, with Trayvon coming back, I'm

565
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: definitely I've definitely learned to temper expectations with players coming

566
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: back from ACLS. Not only that, like the way that

567
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: specifically the way that Trayvon plays and the fact that

568
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 1: he will, you know, drive on balls, he will you know,

569
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: take chances, he will jump routes and things like that.

570
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be his confidence and stuff is something that's

571
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: gonna take some time. So I do think having Stephan

572
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: here could be valuable for that reason, you know, knowing

573
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: just that you have a guy that's secure there. But

574
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: I will say this draft is heavy in corner and

575
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: there's some good corners out there, and one thing about

576
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: them is, like we talked about it earlier, is he's

577
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: He's not a just one shoe fits all like you

578
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: talked about defensive coordinator. He's gonna ask these guys to

579
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: do several different things. So it's not gonna just be zoned.

580
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be the matchup game. It's

581
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna be what does this game call? What does this

582
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: matchup call for? And so I do think the IQ

583
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: from the secondary and how they process, how the communicate

584
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: is going to be important as well. I do think

585
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Stefane fits that, but I think there's a lot of

586
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: guys in this draft that I didn't think could do that.

587
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, one thing Zim has done historically, and you look

588
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: at who was one of his main guys in Minnesota

589
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 5: and now it was Terence Newman, who was an two

590
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 5: thousand and three first round draft pick. Here. This was

591
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: parcelsbury first year and Newman was the first round pick

592
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys, and he kept him with him. Zimmer

593
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: kept Newman with him, and Newman played a long, long, long, long,

594
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 5: long long long time in the league, and he was

595
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: one of those reliable veterans. So Zimmer does like to

596
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 5: rely on guys that he knows. But the other factor

597
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 5: here is at five point nine million dollars for his

598
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 5: contract last year, Jordan Lewis, and I think Jordan Lewis

599
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 5: is one of the unsung heroes of the Cowboys defense.

600
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 5: And the ability to play the slot. You know, if

601
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 5: you're that's so different playing inside and outside, and you know,

602
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 5: drawn Bland, you could if you have someone, Yeah, keep

603
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 5: Trayvon obviously it's going to stay outside, becomes back healthy,

604
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: but Bland you could move inside. Whether you keep Gilmore,

605
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: as I used to said, you know, draft a younger guy,

606
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: it's more important.

607
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 6: Well no, no, we're just on the topic of younger

608
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 6: guys and I wanted to open up for discussion. I'd

609
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 6: be interested to see how Zim could help develop a

610
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 6: guy like Eric Scott junior, who you didn't get to see.

611
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 6: He wasn't active for any games uh this season. Who

612
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's not necessarily a bad thing to

613
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 6: take the first year to relearn the language of an

614
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 6: NFL team and understand how different college is from NFL.

615
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 6: I mean, we saw it with Jalen Tolbert from you know,

616
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 6: his rookie season to last year. The difference that the

617
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 6: work he put in his note making, his studying paid

618
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 6: dividends for him to get more of a role on

619
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 6: the offense. So the other side of the ball, I'm

620
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 6: interested to see how somebody like Zimmer can come in

621
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 6: and help a guy like Eric Scott junior who didn't

622
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 6: necessarily have that opportunity last year, but now Zim can

623
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 6: come in and really have an exponential impact on a growth.

624
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: Growth for somebody like that, you just can get on

625
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, when you have a Stefan Gilmour

626
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: and Aran is leading the league and interceptions, pick sixes

627
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: and stuff, it is difficult to get on the field. Christy,

628
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: you brought up Jordan Lewis. I think it's I think

629
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: that the conversation is going to come down to which

630
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: one of those guys it is, which which one is

631
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: the most valued in that spot and stuff. And because

632
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: to your point, the nickel position is so different and

633
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: it's it's so much more valuable to me at this

634
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: point in this game, the way the games play right now,

635
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: having a good boundary corners is fine. It's good, like

636
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: you want to mediate the big play, but the way

637
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: that you can attack the middle of the field if

638
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: you don't, if the other team doesn't have a serviceable

639
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: nickel corner is it's it's a huge deal in this

640
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: in this the way people play offense now, So I'm

641
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna have me. I am preparing myself for us

642
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: to not see some of our our favorite What about.

643
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 5: Jay Ron because the way that dan Quinn utilized him,

644
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 5: Jayron cursed safety and so you know down in the box,

645
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 5: matching up with tight ends and the like, his versatility,

646
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 5: the size, and dan Quinn I thought did a great

647
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 5: job of utilizing him in creative ways. But he might

648
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 5: command some money in the free agency.

649
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: So I don't I don't think he's I don't think

650
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 4: he's staying well.

651
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: No, I think that. I just think, well, I'm gonna

652
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: be straight up with you. I mean, the film is

653
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: the film, and the film wasn't that great from jay

654
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Ron curse this year, whether it was health decize, yeah,

655
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: whether it was health a side or if there were

656
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: some things that he was dealing with. I do think

657
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: he did play his best football with dan Quinn.

658
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 5: At the previous year.

659
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: He was fantastic, But I mean people attack the middle

660
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: of this field intentionally and with ease at times. And

661
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: so also too with zimmern system. The Nickel will be there,

662
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: but there'll be some dime, there'll be some other things,

663
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: but those things will be very situational to me. I

664
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: don't know, Zim's not like he's multiple in his defenses.

665
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 1: And so whereas a guy like a jay Ron Curse

666
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: would be on the field a lot before because of

667
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: how much you know the Cowboys were and Nickel, there

668
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: are some guys that I do think are going to

669
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: take some steps back snaps wise, or may not even

670
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: be on this roster because of the lack of usage,

671
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: like what dan Quinn did with the big with Diamond

672
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: Nickel is it's not it's not I'm not gonna say

673
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: it's normal. It's it's people do it in the league

674
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: like it's don't get me wrong, but how consistent he

675
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: was with it is not normal. So uh yeah, with

676
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: jay Ron, I I think he'll see Marqui Spell go

677
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: back to safety.

678
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 4: Yeah.

679
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because because the linebacker corp is going to

680
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 5: look very different.

681
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're gonna have because you're gonna have linebackers,

682
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: but you will have But I will say, though he's

683
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: guys like Donovan Wilson.

684
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 4: Are going to be very grateful.

685
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah for a Zim, I think I do think that

686
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: the strong safety position as a whole. I think the

687
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: safety is are gonna enjoy him period and they get

688
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: to show off a little bit.

689
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 6: I also think too, back to the conversation we had

690
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 6: with him yesterday at the press conference, he talked about

691
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 6: a process and he said, I hate explaining it that way.

692
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 6: He said, but part of that process is looking at

693
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 6: the personnel and putting them where it best suits them.

694
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 6: And to me, my little light bulb went on. I

695
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 6: was like, Oh, a Marquis Spell, a Micah Parsons, you know,

696
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 6: the moving pieces that kind of had to move into

697
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 6: those retrospective positions this last season. To your point, I

698
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 6: don't think it looks the same. And for somebody like

699
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 6: jay Ron Curse, who didn't have the best year, he

700
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 6: was struggling to a healthy it's hard to say, Christy,

701
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 6: I I don't. I looking at the laundry list of

702
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 6: free agents, I don't think he will be returning.

703
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: It was important thought. I liked that the cowboy they

704
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: guaranteed his money this past year. It was late, it

705
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: was after Donna, it was after you know, the other

706
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: safeties I had got in their pay and it kind

707
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: of was a little indicator to me that, you know,

708
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: maybe they were going to be going in a different

709
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: direction going into the season. So I'm I'm yeah.

710
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see the safety play because you talked

711
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 6: about this really all season. Where's the safeties, What are

712
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 6: the safeties doing? The safeties need to be better. I'm

713
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 6: excited to see Zim come in and polish that up

714
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 6: and really just refine drop offs within this defense that

715
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 6: did cause losses, that created explosive plays against them, the

716
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 6: run defense. He wouldn't even answer questions about that yesterday

717
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: because he said, we haven't even started. I'm a day

718
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 6: and a half into this job, you know, and then

719
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 6: that's when he's there's a process that goes into this

720
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 6: all of this. But I really think, you know, I

721
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 6: saw a lot of back and forth from Cowboys fans,

722
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 6: and you know, understandably, so everyone's still a little bitter

723
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 6: to how the season ended. But I really do think

724
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 6: turning the page with somebody like Zim who can come

725
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 6: in here, he knows what he's doing, He has experience,

726
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 6: he understands, he has familiarity with what it is to

727
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 6: be a Cowboys coach because it's very different than being

728
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 6: a different coach in the NFL. It's very different from Minnesota.

729
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 6: His familiarity, familiarity with what comes with this job. He

730
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 6: is the guy that can really refine those drop offs

731
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 6: in this defense.

732
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 3: And when we talk about putting players in position, I'm

733
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: interested to see where he puts plays Micah. Yeah, you

734
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: know that was a question that was asked yesterday. What

735
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 3: are you going to do with my looking like, what

736
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: are you going to do with Micah? And uh, I

737
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 3: mean he mentioned that he wants to figure out what

738
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: Micah wants to do first. Oh yeah, He's going to

739
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: do that with every single player, talking about that process,

740
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 3: figure out what they where they feel best at and

741
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: then kind of go from there. So I think that

742
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: when you talk about this process, I think that's important.

743
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: I love that he said I'm not about to talk

744
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: to y'all about it before I talked to him about it,

745
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: and it's it's there were just so many little things

746
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: that he said in his press conference that stood out

747
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: to me, and that was one of them because player

748
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: coach confidentiality matters. I'm trying to like it matters. And

749
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: the fact that he even took a moment to say, like, hey, no.

750
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 4: I'm not setting a boundary.

751
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: It is. It's setting a boundary that's healthy. It's healthy,

752
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: it's parents. It reminds me of a parent. I'm just

753
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: being straight up with you, like, hey, hold on, I

754
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: know what.

755
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 4: You're talking about.

756
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: He did it at this parent teacher conference.

757
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 4: Let me talk to my kid.

758
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: Let me talk to my kid real quick, because I'm

759
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna like, you know, I.

760
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 6: Just But also, he's so new in this job. He

761
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 6: hasn't had time to talk to Mike.

762
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure no, but I just yeah, but I just

763
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: liked the the attitude. But another thing I noticed about

764
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: him as well. And when you talk about where's he

765
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: gonna play Michael, where's he gonna do things like this?

766
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm not gonna be playing linebacker more.

767
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: Second of all, I think, but he also does blitz

768
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: his update gap beyap. He's gonna have, He's gonna have,

769
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: Michae's gonna have. He should have fun with how they

770
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: do things in disguis things. But I will say also too.

771
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 6: I liked that.

772
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: There's somebody asked him a question about Micah, like and

773
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: the person was just kind of hyping up Mikey, you know,

774
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: like Michael's just an exceptional player. It's just he's like, yeah,

775
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Yeah he's he's a special player.

776
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: But he didn't gush.

777
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 5: And I know it's.

778
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: Small, but it just means something to me that he

779
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: wasn't like he's like nah, but I I got a

780
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: coaching Even when he talked about Trayvon Diggs, a lot

781
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: of people were afraid to criticize some of the things

782
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: yon Dis did. He sat up there right there, and

783
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: this was over. This was not last year, because I

784
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: thought Trayvon Diggs actually refined a lot of the things

785
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: coming to this season that he mentioned. But he sat

786
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: up there said, yeah, he needs to work on this,

787
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: he needs to work on this, he needs to work

788
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: on this. And I just feel like the I'm not

789
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: trying to be your friend type situation, but I do

790
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,520

Speaker 4: Able to come to me.

793
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: I kind of heard that and his responses even for

794
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: the fact they're like, yeah, some of the reporters were

795
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: asking questions about some of these players, and they were

796
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: just he was like, yeah, he's a it's a good player,

797
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: you know. You know, He's like, I gotta do my research.

798
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: I gotta do my homework. I gotta watch my tape

799
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: or I know what tape I didn't already watch, you know,

800
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: so I like that.

801
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 5: I don't know. I can tell you that the once

802
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,000

Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, how's it going to be?

805
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,799

809
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 5: what you got for me? And then he'd take the

810
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 5: questions and it's going to be it's to be a

811
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: little more blunt.

812
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:03,080

00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jerald. We've got a few minutes left. We've

845
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 4: got a couple of vacancies.

846
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: We've got a secondary's coach obviously filled by Joe Witt,

847
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 3: junior defensive line coach that was Aiden Dirty, and assistant

848
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 3: defensive line coach Terie Floyd. Who out there, I'm not

849
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 3: gonna look at you.

850
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 4: I don't know who out there has caught Chaw's eye

851
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 4: that could possibly fill those vacancies.

852
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 5: I really don't know. You know Patterson Andre with the Giants,

853
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 5: Andre the Giant, but the Giants denied permission. Of course,

854
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 5: Andre was here as an assistant for several years, in

855
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 5: familiarity with zimmer and so I know that there would

856
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 5: have been interests there. But the way that it works

857
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 5: in the NFL is lateral moves. Yeah, if a coach

858
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 5: is under contract. The only time that you have to

859
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 5: let him out of their contract if it's basically a

860
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 5: promotion like going up to coordinator or becoming a head coach.

861
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 5: And so I think it's going to be interesting and

862
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 5: and I think that that losing coach Dirty is is

863
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 5: a big deal. I'm so happy for him to go

864
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 5: to Seattle and become a head coach, excuse me, a

865
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator. Wonderful for him, so excited, such a good

866
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 5: coach and good person. And the way he got along

867
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 5: and motivated the defensive linemen and those guys. There was

868
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 5: a lot of versatility, you know, coaching the guys up

869
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 5: that they could play multiple positions, slide inside, go back outside.

870
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 5: Those are big shoes to fill to come in and

871
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 5: replace coach Dirty and then Joe Witt. It's not that

872
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 5: I at first I was kind of surprised. It's like, man,

873
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 5: he you know, had been with Mike McCarthy back in

874
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 5: Green Bay.

875
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 8: Went.

876
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 5: But at the same time, if he didn't get defensive

877
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 5: coordinator here at this time, when's he going to get it?

878
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 5: So he had to. I think it was the right

879
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 5: thing for him career wise to move along and joined

880
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 5: dan Quinn on the staff there in Washington. But those

881
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 5: are two big losses for the Cowboys defense.

882
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 6: YEA, happy for them for sure. Time to turn page. Yeah,

883
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 6: the only one that really came to my mind, and

884
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 6: because it was kind of a shocking yeah, well right,

885
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 6: but when there's talent like that that's available, you at

886
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 6: least check into it. It's up to him if he

887
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 6: wants to take kind of a emotion, if you will,

888
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 6: not being in DC and go into a positions coach.

889
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 6: But you look into that immediately. I'm I'm just saying

890
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 6: it was shocking that it happened. He's coming off of

891
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl appearance, team obviously doing something right. You

892
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 6: want to talk about talk about defeating the Shanahan Tree.

893
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 4: There you have it.

894
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 6: They held it, They.

895
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 4: Held the Chiefs and.

896
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: Then to lose a Green Law in that game. And

897
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: again listening to kind of some of the San Frank

898
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: commentary and stuff, that their run defense did take a

899
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: step back this year for some reason, and so people

900
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: were very.

901
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 5: There was no place to go but down they were.

902
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:09,479
Speaker 4: At the top.

903
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, like people were very upset about the latter

904
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: half of the season, the run defense not being as

905
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: good as it was before. But I say that to

906
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: say I would definitely be interested in in a Steve

907
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: Wilkes of because he has coached Prack in practice with

908
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: your nemesis. They're the nemesis at this point for you know.

909
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 5: Hey, they're the standard. They're the standard of the NFC.

910
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 5: You were gonna have to go right now, you have

911
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: to go through the forty nine ers to get to

912
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 5: where you want to be.

913
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: You want to be all in.

914
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you want to be all in, you need

915
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,959
Speaker 6: to take the all in approach of getting somebody who

916
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 6: knows what the conversations are on that side.

917
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 3: They finished with what number eight defense in the NFL,

918
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: third best since scoring defense.

919
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, but at the top end kicking butt

920
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 5: that part forget the statistic part.

921
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean I I think that that's gonna

922
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: be that's gonna be important looking into that. But when

923
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: you mentioned you mentioned there's the vacancies, there's some there's

924
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: some spots that's not vacant that that when a coach

925
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: comes in they pick and choose and if there if

926
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: now we are again you are kind of late in

927
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: the process. I'm dang it, you are kind of late

928
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: in the process. So maybe you're limited in some of

929
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: the folks that you can get, but there might be

930
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: some changes to some other positions as well. I mean

931
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: other position coaches as well, not just the ones that's vacant.

932
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, because they're married to each other.

933
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 3: So it's like, and it sounds it sounded like yesterday

934
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,560
