Speaker 8: five years old. So it's like the kids were coming
Speaker 8: around the neighborhood apparently I wasn't even home, and Tommy was.
Speaker 7: Like, yeah, I didn't know what to do, and they
Speaker 7: didn't knock on the door.
Speaker 8: So I was like, maybe I need to go outside,
Speaker 8: and so Tommy was like exactly sitting outside like hitting
Speaker 8: out candy to kids.
Speaker 6: And oh, that's a nice that's a nice guy. He
Speaker 6: actually went out of his way to figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty So he's samped.
Speaker 8: Our address was a good home going forward, whereas I
Speaker 8: was out.
Speaker 7: You knows who knows, but.
Speaker 9: Nice.

Speaker 6: and we got a good show playing for you guys today.
Speaker 2: We'll get you ready for Cowboys versus Falcons.
Speaker 10: This this studio now looks so depressing. It looks so
Speaker 10: sad without decorations like that.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get on that.
Speaker 6: Sorry, decoration, You're more than welcome to decorate.
Speaker 3: We got thanks.
Speaker 9: Now coming up, we need to fall the creation.
Speaker 10: Yeah, leaves some I don't know some stuff you're created.
Speaker 2: We need to get a bit of decoration budget.
Speaker 6: No, we ain't getting no decoration budget. Just for the record,
Speaker 6: that ain't happening. Whatever you can do, do it with
Speaker 6: whatever you got.
Speaker 7: On a scale on a scale of one to ten.
Speaker 8: And how much would you uh flip your lid if
Speaker 8: I brought a live turkey in before before things.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't cool with you.
Speaker 1: Go for it.
Speaker 7: I don't know what I'm going to figure it out.
Speaker 3: Let's go for it.
Speaker 6: I'm still waiting I'm still waiting for Missus Doultphi, Missus
Speaker 6: Doutfires show up.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Last night brought Yeah, I'm still last night brought us
Speaker 4: took the Texans and the Thursday night football game.
Speaker 3: Missus Doubtfire likely to show up next time, little bit.
Speaker 2: We're in on that.
Speaker 3: I'm too down now.
Speaker 4: I had a this is I've just anxiety in this
Speaker 4: bet payoff stuff that we.
Speaker 3: Have to do on one O five to three the fan.
Speaker 4: We we have a survivor pool if you don't know,
Speaker 4: and and we we picked games every week and if
Speaker 4: you lose, you have to do a bet payoff.
Speaker 3: I've sat in a cold tub for twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: I've uh, I've eaten uh countless things, hot gummies, all
Speaker 4: kinds of shames, eyebrow shave my eyebrows.
Speaker 2: They're back though they're back, they're coming back.
Speaker 4: So so I I'm down to the point now where
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have.
Speaker 3: To dress up as Missus Doubtfire.
Speaker 4: And I'm debating on I think I have enough time
Speaker 4: between shows that I can leave here and then get
Speaker 4: it done and then be on my show.
Speaker 2: No, just come prepared.
Speaker 4: I come walk not walking into this building dressed though
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 8: From if you park in the garage, it's a short
Speaker 8: it would be his look though he walks into the
Speaker 8: one person he did not want to see.
Speaker 3: I walked.
Speaker 4: I have to go like down that they make us
Speaker 4: and right, you know, we have to check in, so
Speaker 4: we have to get a card and I have to
Speaker 4: go down the elevator.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's.
Speaker 2: No trench trench coat over it.
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 9: You're no fun.
Speaker 4: It is, but I I'm to the point now where
Speaker 4: it's pigs feet or dress up as Missus Doubtfire is
Speaker 4: what I have to do. So I'm getting I'm getting
Speaker 4: close to like actually having the show. But I think
Speaker 4: I have enough time between shows to go put on
Speaker 4: a costume for that.
Speaker 10: Or there is a bathroom literally right next to us
Speaker 10: where you can just come and change in there, and
Speaker 10: they come to.
Speaker 3: Have you seen Missus Doubtfire.
Speaker 9: Yes, I looked it up.
Speaker 3: The question that, yeah, it's a bunch of I like
Speaker 3: that pantyhose. It's pantyhose.
Speaker 4: It's a skirt, it's a blouse, it's a sweater, it's
Speaker 4: a brooch.
Speaker 3: It's I got the glasses, it's makeup.
Speaker 4: There's a lot involved for missus doubtfire, because if I
Speaker 4: do it half a like they think I might, I'm.
Speaker 2: They they're not gonna let me. They're not going to
Speaker 2: let that.
Speaker 3: You know. If I don't.
Speaker 9: How about this, you come early enough, I'll help you
Speaker 9: with your makeup.
Speaker 2: Yere we go.
Speaker 3: When you're thinking about it.
Speaker 4: I might have you help me with my makeup while
Speaker 4: I'm on while I'm on clothes.
Speaker 3: That's what I might do.
Speaker 4: So you're just gonna roll through the hallway, roll up
Speaker 4: with regular clothes and makeup on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, that would actually be funny too. If anybody
Speaker 6: runs into you that that could be interesting. All right,
Speaker 6: let's go and jump into this thing. We got to
Speaker 6: talk about some injuries.
Speaker 2: This morning, playing out literally a little while ago.
Speaker 6: Jerry was on one on five to after three the
Speaker 6: Fan and uh and made mention of of Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 6: and and mentioned that he has a tear in his calf.
Speaker 6: What are we hearing about this injury and the likelihood
Speaker 6: of him playing or not playing this weekend versus the falcon.
Speaker 4: You're pointed me, I'm trying to Yeah, there was. I
Speaker 4: kind of found out yesterday because I was working on
Speaker 4: some stuff and you know, the digs and not practicing
Speaker 4: and stuff, and I reached out to a couple of
Speaker 4: different people in the organization and it was like, Hey,
Speaker 4: there's there's something significant here.
Speaker 3: He's really injured.
Speaker 4: I go, is this just kind of a rest day
Speaker 4: to kind of help with the calf? And the work
Speaker 4: I got back was No, it's something that they're going
Speaker 4: to have to deal with here. We'll see this morning,
Speaker 4: you know what. I kind of since Jerry had the
Speaker 4: talk with us at one O five three the Fan
Speaker 4: and we appreciate him and Stephen both being on every week.
Speaker 3: They do a great job with that.
Speaker 4: But the I've reached out since to see, you know,
Speaker 4: where we're at. Is this one of those things that
Speaker 4: you know you might be playing with you were you
Speaker 4: were joking about, you know, practice squad corners playing again
Speaker 4: and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: You ready for starting cornerback on Hall?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's that's that's like him in the preseason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did guys that weren't that aren't playing in
Speaker 2: the NFL.
Speaker 3: Now, but showed a lot of toughness. Yeah he was.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 2: He was pretty much.
Speaker 4: But that's you know, I, like I said, hopefully as
Speaker 4: our show goes on I can get a further update
Speaker 4: about that. So, because like I say, once Jerry said
Speaker 4: that there was a used the word tear, I'm sure
Speaker 4: that the trainers and doctors and stuff are like, well
Speaker 4: it's not real.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just more medical.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's more medically.
Speaker 4: It might be something that either is really significant or
Speaker 4: he could play through it kind of thing.
Speaker 9: So I guess bland Is still is not looking.
Speaker 6: Like he did not practice again yesterday, so it doesn't
Speaker 6: look like you probably would expect him to play. So
Speaker 6: now at this point my question becomes like what are
Speaker 6: those names you mentioned, keem On Hall. But at this point,
Speaker 6: if I have two thoughts here, if Trayvon doesn't play,
Speaker 6: who should we expect to see at cornerback. If Trayvon plays,
Speaker 6: but knowing that he has this injury that may compromise him,
Speaker 6: what do they do with the roster and the active
Speaker 6: guys with other names of cornerbacks to make sure they're protecting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they still elevate a corner this week
Speaker 8: regardless if Trayvon does play or not. The two candidates
Speaker 8: are Chemon Hall, as we suggested, Goaming Green, North, Texas
Speaker 8: grad had a pick six in the preseason that pretty
Speaker 8: much stamped his place on the roster. And then Josh Butler,
Speaker 8: it's the second season he's been on the practice squad.
Speaker 8: He's a Mesquite native, so he's a local guy. Went
Speaker 8: to Michigan State and played the USFL and just got
Speaker 8: a random try out last training camp and made the team,
Speaker 8: and he's stuck around. He hasn't had an opportunity in
Speaker 8: an NFL game just yet, but it could be an
Speaker 8: opportunity for either of those guys to get elevated.
Speaker 7: Then you look at uh Andrew Booth.
Speaker 8: If if Trayvon Digs does not start, then it's probably
Speaker 8: a situation where Booth does start in his place, and
Speaker 8: that would that would certainly be an experience. And a
Speaker 8: Manti Orra Warrior landed on the i R this week,
Speaker 8: so you can't use him pally with a back injury.
Speaker 7: I think Carson has to go. It's it's time for
Speaker 7: him to go.
Speaker 6: It's even with it, Uh, whatever is whatever is the
Speaker 6: condition of the shoulder.
Speaker 8: Right it doesn't sound like Bland is gonna play, so
Speaker 8: it has to be Kayln Carson stepping in and starting
Speaker 8: for Bland.
Speaker 9: He's been full all week.
Speaker 7: Yeah, has been full a week. That is that is
Speaker 7: a good sign.
Speaker 8: I I wonder though, And I was starting to kind
Speaker 8: of toy with this idea before I walked into the show.
Speaker 8: If Bland and Diggs both do not play, do they
Speaker 8: maybe move around Lewis?
Speaker 7: And do they That's what.
Speaker 3: I was taking things. There has he done?
Speaker 2: He played on the outside of his career.
Speaker 4: Here he There's been times where he is lined up there.
Speaker 4: But it's not something I'll say this though. If you
Speaker 4: look at metrics, you're one of the best nick teams
Speaker 4: in the league when it comes to that position because
Speaker 4: of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4: Seriously, you look at the you might be tread and
Speaker 4: water and drowning in a lot of other places. Your
Speaker 4: nickel is actually a plus player for your defense. Yeah, man,
Speaker 4: to me, where as much as these this team plays
Speaker 4: and attacks out of the middle of the field with
Speaker 4: the nickel, with the the you know, inside player, I
Speaker 4: think I leave Lewis where he's at and just and
Speaker 4: just and you know, maybe you have to get into
Speaker 4: a situation where you just because they're going to play
Speaker 4: eleven personnel the whole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to play. They're going to play I mean.
Speaker 4: Like like eighteen of their nineteen touchdowns or something like
Speaker 4: it's some number they have been out of eleven personnel,
Speaker 4: so you're going to have to match him that way.
Speaker 4: I think he's going to play in the game a
Speaker 4: significant role. I would to be myself. I put Israel
Speaker 4: mcwamo out there at one of the cornerback spots. I
Speaker 4: know I talked about using him potentially to take pits
Speaker 4: in this game, but now if Diggs doesn't go or
Speaker 4: he's compromised and you know, got Carson, I would consider
Speaker 4: putting a healthy mcwamba out there. This is a team
Speaker 4: that has Moody can run. Everybody else is kind of
Speaker 4: pretty standard. It's not anything that you would worry. I mean,
Speaker 4: Moody's got that quickness and the burst and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: so you know, you could that that could be a problem.
Speaker 4: But maybe with some of the other combinations of their receivers,
Speaker 4: you're not so much worried about their speed where you
Speaker 4: could put a guy like mcwammew on and and go
Speaker 4: that route.
Speaker 7: I don't hate the mccuamu matchup on Drake London.
Speaker 8: No, Yeah, if Trayvon can't go, I mean that could
Speaker 8: be an opportunity for mcwama to step in and kind
Speaker 8: of be that bigger outside corner to take take care
Speaker 8: of Drake London.
Speaker 4: I I kind of have an idea what Booth is
Speaker 4: right now, and so I'm gonna I'm gonna keep you
Speaker 4: That idea is he needs to play in reserve, you know,
Speaker 4: And I think Andrew Booth needs to be my case
Speaker 4: of emergency break glass guy.
Speaker 3: Well but almost there, that's I'm saying. I think c J.
Speaker 4: Goodwin is the really break the glass and if you
Speaker 4: had to, he's a.
Speaker 7: Special break down the building and saving the kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would, I would say I would keep.
Speaker 3: I would go with if you can use Carson.
Speaker 4: If you can use uh mcuamu uh you know, And
Speaker 4: like I say, Lewis, you know, that's that's kind of
Speaker 4: where we're going to be at right now.
Speaker 10: What a bad year for this defense. Like it's just
Speaker 10: one hit after the other.
Speaker 2: It's it's stuff you can't control.
Speaker 6: I mean, it literally is just like injuries are non control,
Speaker 6: which you got to deal with them right and and
Speaker 6: that just makes it really tough. I feel for a
Speaker 6: guy like Zimmer who probably came in thinking he was
Speaker 6: gonna have some pieces he's working with a lot of
Speaker 6: guys that he didn't think he'd be working with.
Speaker 8: So the only consistent, healthy guy that I can think
Speaker 8: of on that defense. Yeah, Yeah, she's learned.
Speaker 7: She's learned from me.
Speaker 3: She's learned from me.
Speaker 12: Never, its like you don't even have to say you
Speaker 12: know what, Okay, it's all on you, buddy, on you,
Speaker 12: if something, if something happened in the breast box, the
Speaker 12: whole everybody's gonna meet.
Speaker 3: In an accident.
Speaker 7: Nick, maybe some Spanish words.
Speaker 2: No, no doubt about.
Speaker 9: One thing I've learned.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 9: You don't say those things.
Speaker 7: How loud, very true.
Speaker 3: There you go. I appreciate you, okay, real quick.
Speaker 4: Its just and I know that we talked about with
Speaker 4: Hall and know about about Butler. If you just from
Speaker 4: for just from training camp, which one would you feel
Speaker 4: more comfortable with.
Speaker 8: I think both have their lumps, but both have their
Speaker 8: wins as well. I think you're looking for somebody to
Speaker 8: create turnovers, you look at Keimon Hall if you're looking
Speaker 8: for a guy that can step up and play the
Speaker 8: run a little bit better, Josh Butler.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I think both of these guys are pretty similar.
Speaker 8: I only say keem On Hall turnover worthy just because
Speaker 8: he picked off Dak a couple of times. Yeah, and
Speaker 8: then he had to pick six in the preseason game
Speaker 8: so he can get after the ball.
Speaker 7: He's ballhawk in that sense.
Speaker 4: Cheron manager was screaming for some turnovers this morning exactly.
Speaker 7: That was the same.
Speaker 8: It was the same way whenever he was in college
Speaker 8: at North Texas. I think back to that Arkansas game
Speaker 8: whenever he had a pick six against John Stephen Jones,
Speaker 8: which is which is funny.
Speaker 7: To look back on.
Speaker 8: But I think if you're looking for turnovers, maybe it's
Speaker 8: a guy that keme on Hall.
Speaker 4: Paul I kind of agree with that too, you know,
Speaker 4: I think I think both of them are good practice
Speaker 4: squad players. But you're to the point now where maybe
Speaker 4: you're gonna need somebody to show up in a.
Speaker 3: Cape, you know, and and and one of those guys
Speaker 3: might have to show up in a cape.
Speaker 8: However, Comma, I think if this reserve corner that does
Speaker 8: get elevated has to play significant amount of special teams,
Speaker 8: then it is Josh Butler. It's it's just there's all
Speaker 8: a lot of confidence in Josh Butler from a special
Speaker 8: team's perspective.
Speaker 2: Here you go it's gonna be an interesting one.
Speaker 6: We'll see what happens with this injury to Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 6: and maybe he can't play through it. That I assume
Speaker 6: that's probably the hope is that you can at least
Speaker 6: put him out there, get Kaylen Carson back and now
Speaker 6: you work with something. But it's going to be interesting
Speaker 6: to see how it plays out. We'll be we'll take
Speaker 6: our first break and come back. We'll spend a little
Speaker 6: time with Yetti and Amber Garcia has some ideas for us,
Speaker 6: and we'll come back. This is Dallas Cowboys Dot Kyrie Hill.

Speaker 10: reminded you of that emotion today, we're going to continue
Speaker 10: that game to end it because we didn't get through
Speaker 10: all the words. So the first one would be jealousy.
Speaker 10: What's one moment that you felt some kind of envy, resentment, jealousy.
Speaker 4: I felt so much jealousy working with David Hellman because
Speaker 4: everybody loves him.
Speaker 7: Everybody loves you.
Speaker 3: No, are you kidding me? Shut up over there. I
Speaker 3: was always jealous of Dave.
Speaker 4: Like we go on road trips, tiny Jim, they.
Speaker 2: Always yell and you gave him the name.
Speaker 3: Because his first time you ever yeah, by jealous of you.
Speaker 10: They always yell it no, no, no you in those
Speaker 10: instances saying like what about me, I'm here too.
Speaker 3: When I would walk with Dave.
Speaker 4: And it's like right by him and no one would
Speaker 4: ever say a word, And I was always like.
Speaker 3: Gosh, they loved it, helm and I'm jealous of this
Speaker 3: tiny gym. They love you, And.
Speaker 4: He's like, oh man, they don't know, they don't they
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know, but yeah, I was always
Speaker 4: no but I missed ay. But I was always jealous
Speaker 4: of him, Like the people do they just love him?

Speaker 4: I brought us. You're a bum, you can't, you know,
Speaker 4: miss players.

Speaker 3: It was fun, it was we were a mess.
Speaker 8: New Mexico City. And the next year or two that
Speaker 8: would be That would be awesome. I would love that.
Speaker 8: But these Europe Games, I definitely feel a little jealousy
Speaker 8: whenever those Beat reporters are out there trying to food
Speaker 8: and having fun.
Speaker 6: No doubt, I would say for me, it's it's really
Speaker 6: turned into an annual thing. When I go to the
Speaker 6: league meetings and I run into my colleagues who typically
Speaker 6: have a fresh ring, and uh, they're kind of showing
Speaker 6: it off, and I'm just like, one of these days,
Speaker 6: it's gonna be my turn. One of these days gonna
Speaker 6: be my turn and just hadn't gotten there yet. But
Speaker 6: I'll hold the faith and at some point it will
Speaker 6: be my turn and I'll get to go in there,
Speaker 6: and boy, I'm gonnat it up.
Speaker 7: Make sure everybody wear it every day.
Speaker 2: I'll make sure everybody rings now that you wear it.
Speaker 2: It's a wedding ring.
Speaker 6: And this is like just to kind of check my stress.
Speaker 6: So that's not really fun. I want to I want
Speaker 6: a ring, So we'll see, and.
Speaker 7: Then the super Bowl ring will be a culmination of
Speaker 7: your stress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right right, that's.
Speaker 9: A good one, all right.
Speaker 10: A moment of guilt, something that made you feel remotes, regret, shame, maybe.
Speaker 9: Guilty, you know.
Speaker 2: What out there out there.
Speaker 6: And we talked about the whole domain thing last week,
Speaker 6: but there was another moment that happened speaking of international games.
Speaker 2: This was back the year we went to London fourteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we we had talked to the NFL. The
Speaker 6: NFL has these every team that was back when were
Speaker 6: kind of getting started with all the international games, and
Speaker 6: every team that would go, they would have a hashtag
Speaker 6: that they would use for that week's content, just promote.
Speaker 6: So you know, you have Jaguars UK, you have you know,
Speaker 6: whatever team, and so they were like, that's what everybody
Speaker 6: else uses, So why don't you guys just use Cowboys UK. Right, great,
Speaker 6: We'll use Cowboys UK. So so that's gonna be our hashtag.
Speaker 6: So we start putting out our content the morning that
Speaker 6: we're leaving, and we got this content role and we
Speaker 6: got this hashtag rolling back then, everything on Twitter had
Speaker 6: a hashtag. That was just the way it was back then,
Speaker 6: and so we started doing that. We get on the plane,
Speaker 6: it's a long flight. We land in London, we go
Speaker 6: through security and then we're on the bus. We get
Speaker 6: to our hotel and my phone starts blowing up and
Speaker 6: it's like just call after call after call. People just
Speaker 6: call and texting, and I'm like, what the heck is
Speaker 6: going on? Find out that there's somebody that is because
Speaker 6: some fan, non fan, someone went out and basically was
Speaker 6: like Cowboys UK No, Cowboys suck. And so it became
Speaker 6: a thing. Cowboys are using a hashtag Cowboys suck.
Speaker 2: To promote their UK game.
Speaker 6: Now this got so big to where it was on
Speaker 6: the late night shows. I want to say it was
Speaker 6: Jimmy Kimmel is now in his stand up in his
Speaker 6: monologue it's like, do you know what the Cowboys did?
Speaker 6: And it's they're just going in now. By the way,
Speaker 6: every other team is using this hashtag. Every other team
Speaker 6: that's going to to London is using this hashtag.
Speaker 7: So they didn't do what war, but nobody care cared
Speaker 7: about Nobody cared.
Speaker 6: It was the Cowboys and it was embarrassing and it
Speaker 6: was it was shameful, but at the same time, it
Speaker 6: kind of reiterated to us like we're just different than
Speaker 6: everybody else. If somebody else does it, no one cares.
Speaker 6: If we do it, it's gonna be news. And I
Speaker 6: remember at the time Shannon Gross, you know, and I
Speaker 6: was just like, man, this is this is one that
Speaker 6: we just didn't see coming. But it turned into all.
Speaker 9: The spelling doesn't help.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah when you just start out, so when
Speaker 4: you spell it out, you could see it, yeah, and
Speaker 4: you're and you're sitting there and then now you're like, okay,
Speaker 4: now I get it.
Speaker 6: But but that's the thing like every and by the way,
Speaker 6: the next week, I think it was the Falcons. There
Speaker 6: was another team that came to London the next week.
Speaker 2: They used the.
Speaker 6: Same hashhack the next week and nobody said a word.
Speaker 2: Nobody said anything. It was it was just it was ridiculous.
Speaker 6: But that was probably one of those moments I was
Speaker 6: most shamed and embarrassed.
Speaker 2: It was like, we can't win on that.
Speaker 8: We should just do a story every Friday of a
Speaker 8: fire that Derek has had to put out.
Speaker 7: That's funny.
Speaker 9: I never heard that story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so many.
Speaker 9: I was good.
Speaker 7: I don't think I have one. I was thinking, but
Speaker 7: then I got lost in Derek story. You got one one, Brian.
Speaker 4: I'm always like, I take such pride in the draft show.
Speaker 4: So when you talk about players and you just kind
Speaker 4: of jump up on and you're and then when the
Speaker 4: player doesn't work out, you feel so ashamed. You feel like, man,
Speaker 4: I I really I really believe this. I really you know,
Speaker 4: you just the passion for it. But then when it
Speaker 4: doesn't work, you're like you're embarrassed. You're like, man, did
Speaker 4: I Why did I do that? I let I let
Speaker 4: these people down. I'm I feel bad about it. It's
Speaker 4: just more about that than you know, how can I
Speaker 4: sit here for three weeks and talk, yeah, they need
Speaker 4: this guy, this guy, this guy, and then and it
Speaker 4: doesn't work out. Then you're like you feel like you
Speaker 4: just let everybody down. You know, you're just embarrassed your
Speaker 4: you're you're shamed because people will remind you of that.
Speaker 4: They'll remind me, well you like that, and you're like,
Speaker 4: you know, you're right. I'm still this day, I'm wearing that.
Speaker 4: You know, you feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Speaker 6: I got a question for you, Brian, if you had
Speaker 6: to go back and think back as your your entire
Speaker 6: career as a scout, as a personnel guy, what was
Speaker 6: your greatest win as far as the player that you selected,
Speaker 6: and what was the one that you're like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 6: that was the worst.
Speaker 3: I see.
Speaker 4: I was like when I was here, I was involved
Speaker 4: in pro personnel. So my best win was Leroy Glover.
Speaker 3: That guy was yeah.
Speaker 4: And then and that was that was the one where
Speaker 4: Jerry asked me. He goes, hey, we're about to hand
Speaker 4: this guy five million dollars.
Speaker 3: You really think he could play?
Speaker 4: You couldn't have driven a nail up my rear. I
Speaker 4: mean that was that.
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 3: You get the idea we got we got yeah, so.
Speaker 9: Thank you for but I mean.
Speaker 4: Seriously, I literally when he asked me, it took every
Speaker 4: bit of courage that I had to say, yes, sir,
Speaker 4: this guy is going to be a great player for us.
Speaker 4: In my heart was just you know, because man, five
Speaker 4: million dollars at that time is a lot of money,
Speaker 4: you know, and and for defensive tack. Yeah, we're making
Speaker 4: we're making you know, we're making these these these decisions
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. And the one I wish I
Speaker 4: would have had to ask it was Charles Woodson because
Speaker 4: Bill Parcells got super mad at me about that one.
Speaker 3: But we didn't get I I mean, I gave.
Speaker 4: One of my all time great you know, Charles Woodson
Speaker 4: could still play. He ended up going to Green Bay
Speaker 4: and then be an MVP defensive MVP and all that
Speaker 4: that would have been that that could have capped a
Speaker 4: career right there. That could have like, hey, brought Charles
Speaker 4: Woodson here. He might he might have been a great player,
Speaker 4: might not. But anyway, but yeah, that that one was
Speaker 4: the one about trying to think about the missus because
Speaker 4: I wasn't involved in I'd never had an opinion in scouting.
Speaker 4: When it came to the college players got.
Speaker 3: It because you know, they just got you were run
Speaker 3: one draft. I did, run I did.
Speaker 4: And and that was the nineteen ninety eight and we
Speaker 4: had unfortunately for that draft, four of the eight players
Speaker 4: we selected made the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: So I had Sal Palatonio from ESPN call me a
Speaker 4: liar to my face, like when I did this pre
Speaker 4: draft press conference, you know, like Jerry and Steven and all.
Speaker 4: So I do this and I'm trying to tell you know, like, hey,
Speaker 4: we're looking at this angle to say. And I was
Speaker 4: done and they it was kind of a walk off situation.
Speaker 4: Salth Palatonio walked up to me because you're a liar.
Speaker 4: Why do you lie to everybody?
Speaker 3: I'm like, what do you mean? What do you mean lie?
Speaker 4: And I literally walked through matter of fact, WP. There
Speaker 4: was a there was a time on WP, the radio
Speaker 4: station there. They have an overnight show and this is
Speaker 4: before Twitter and media, you know, all this stuff. And
Speaker 4: it was a guy named Gary Cobb. And I'm sitting
Speaker 4: at the vet in Philly and like Gary Cobb, I'm listening.
Speaker 3: To his show.
Speaker 4: It's two in the morning, right, I'm sitting there and
Speaker 4: Gary's like, I wonder what this Brian brought.
Speaker 3: This guy is gonna do. I called his show and
Speaker 3: I said, he goes, man, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4: Like, I'm gonna take Trey Thomas in the first round
Speaker 4: tackle from Florida State, and he's like really, I'm like yeah,
Speaker 4: he goes Randy Moss. I'm like, yeah, we kind of
Speaker 4: got some things about Randy and all that. But if
Speaker 4: you were listening to w I P at two in
Speaker 4: the morning, you know, you would have known who the
Speaker 4: Philadelphiagles were going to take the very next day. And
Speaker 4: this is before Twitter when everybody's like, you know when
Speaker 4: Nick Nix sweet now Brian brought us on w I P.
Speaker 6: Because he literally is listening to w I P at
Speaker 6: I was listening to.
Speaker 3: This day to this day.
Speaker 4: Like Gary Cobb, if I ever see him or you know,
Speaker 4: run into him, He's like, man, he goes you you
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I told you you wanted to know
Speaker 4: what I was doing. I told you what I was doing.
Speaker 4: So that was kind of fun. Yeah about that.
Speaker 3: Let's go on, Sorry about that.
Speaker 10: You're a filmbuster for you there, all right? Nick, I'll
Speaker 10: go with you for this one. A moment of pride
Speaker 10: where you felt something and I can tell you which
Speaker 10: one where you first satisfaction like fulfilledment.
Speaker 7: Are looking at the roster and what you're thinking.
Speaker 10: We have pictures back at training camp. You're sitting there
Speaker 10: listening to Hunter Lifkey, You're just your face just is the.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 8: That was that is that has been my my pet
Speaker 8: cat since I've arrived. Like when he got signed as
Speaker 8: an undrafted free agent, within like twenty minutes, I was like.
Speaker 7: That's the guy, Like he's he's gonna be legit. So, yeah,
Speaker 7: that's a moment of pride. I guess you could. I
Speaker 7: guess you could say that, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I got one.
Speaker 6: My moment of pride, And this is is about somebody
Speaker 6: on this show. Was the first time she's one very
Speaker 6: she's one a lot of them, but the first time Garcia,
Speaker 6: the first time Garcia one an Emmy as an analyst,
Speaker 6: I was I couldn't have had a prouder moment, just
Speaker 6: because I knew how much she had worked to get
Speaker 6: to that point.
Speaker 2: You remember when we first got out and talk. She
Speaker 2: was not she was not a.
Speaker 3: Football person, know a lot about football at all.
Speaker 6: But but the fact the matter is she really worked
Speaker 6: at it, and really worked at it, and her knowledge
Speaker 6: of the game grew, her ability to be able communicate
Speaker 6: it grew, and then she won a freaking Emmy. I
Speaker 6: was just like, man, there's not a better story out
Speaker 6: there of my entire time working with the Cowboy. That's
Speaker 6: one of the proudest moments I had because I was
Speaker 6: just like, that's a dedication to somebody that's smart and created.
Speaker 4: Right. Because now at the time, because I remember, I
Speaker 4: remember when we you and I first started working together
Speaker 4: at Valley Ranch and trying to explain stuff, and you
Speaker 4: asked a million questions and I'm thinking, Okay, she.
Speaker 3: Wants to learn.
Speaker 4: But then it got to the point, by the time
Speaker 4: I was starting to leave to go to one O
Speaker 4: five three, you were doing tellustrations by yourself. You went
Speaker 4: from being like asking a million questions to like why
Speaker 4: why would they would do that?
Speaker 3: Why would and.
Speaker 4: Then actually standing there in Spanish and just tellustrating a play,
Speaker 4: just knowing it, seeing it. You're like, hey, what do
Speaker 4: you think I see this? I'm like, you got it,
Speaker 4: go do it? And you did it. Was that was
Speaker 4: because you went from my Deri's wright. I remember first
Speaker 4: talking to you at Valley Ranch. I'm like, man, this
Speaker 4: young lady does not know.
Speaker 3: She does she knows no football.
Speaker 2: And she told me that she told.
Speaker 6: And I was like, I was like, I just need
Speaker 6: someone that can basically take what we're doing in English
Speaker 6: and get it to Spanish.
Speaker 2: Right, So I didn't know that.
Speaker 6: It's okay if you don't know, you'll learn over time,
Speaker 6: and and sure enough she came in and far exceeded
Speaker 6: whatever expectations.
Speaker 7: So I appreciate you.
Speaker 8: I'll sneak in one more moment of probably because it
Speaker 8: involves something we worked on together, was a Marion Barber
Speaker 8: documentary last year. I that was probably the most pride
Speaker 8: I've taken in anything that I've worked on. That was
Speaker 8: I wanted went a great job because it just popped
Speaker 8: into my brain.
Speaker 4: I was like, that is for sure the final thing.
Speaker 4: If I could throw in, I'm proud of the draft show. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what I mean. I'm proud of how it's it's
Speaker 4: shout out to a carried all these years from a
Speaker 4: tiny little booth at Valley Ranch to now this studio.
Speaker 9: Everybody listens to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So a lot of pride for that.
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt.

Speaker 6: Welcome back final segment of the Break Life from the
Speaker 6: SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star. I got a few
Speaker 6: questions for you guys about the Cowboys versus Falcons matchup.
Speaker 2: Let's run through these. First one.
Speaker 6: Dallas has only scored thirty plus points once this year.
Speaker 6: That was in the opening game against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 6: They won thirty three to seventeen. If Dak is protected
Speaker 6: this week, because as we've talked about, this is a
Speaker 6: defense that doesn't typically get a lot of pressure. Does
Speaker 6: Dallas score more than thirty.
Speaker 3: It's going to take that.
Speaker 4: And I think, especially now with the way the injuries
Speaker 4: and stuff are coming down, you know if depending on
Speaker 4: what's going to happen with your secondary, I think that
Speaker 4: to win this game, you're gonna have to score over
Speaker 4: thirty points. And there's, yeah, there's a possibility of doing that.
Speaker 4: Like say, they don't get a lot of don't they
Speaker 4: don't get a lot of pressure, and they play a
Speaker 4: lot of off coverage, and there's some things you can
Speaker 4: take advantage of. But man, you just don't want them
Speaker 4: to have a get right game. You know, all of
Speaker 4: a sudden their defense kind of Oh, all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: we're getting pressure now and oh, we're covering your guys
Speaker 4: where everybody else is moving the ball on them and
Speaker 4: that kind of thing. But they're going to have to
Speaker 4: score thirty to win this game, I believe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I believe so as well. I believe so as well.
Speaker 8: You got to get you got to be able to
Speaker 8: protect Dak too, And the connection that we've seen with
Speaker 8: Dak and CD, it's really starting to hit a rhythm.
Speaker 8: And honestly, it's on pace with where they were at
Speaker 8: at this point in the season last year. I think
Speaker 8: he's only about sixteen yards CD only about sixteen yards
Speaker 8: behind what he was at this point in the season
Speaker 8: last year.
Speaker 7: So they just got to keep that going.
Speaker 8: I think a one and twenty yard day from CD
Speaker 8: gives these gives this offense a lot better of a
Speaker 8: chance to win.
Speaker 9: But they weren't this bad at this point last year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the team wasn't this bad. Yeah CD, you.
Speaker 10: Know, yeah, no, absolutely absolutely, But just like overall, and
Speaker 10: like even offensively, it's just so many other issues that.
Speaker 9: I just don't know what it is.
Speaker 10: But yes, I think it's it's gonna come down to
Speaker 10: which offense can score the most points. And I don't
Speaker 10: mean to give my prediction now, but the Falcons offense,
Speaker 10: I feel like the way I see it, they can
Speaker 10: potentially be a lot faster and quicker and like get
Speaker 10: way ahead in the game of the scoring game, and
Speaker 10: you're just maybe a little too late to catch up.
Speaker 10: I don't know, but absolutely it's gonna come down to
Speaker 10: them scoring more than thirty points.
Speaker 2: I think it's all about protection.
Speaker 6: I've been saying that for a couple weeks now, and
Speaker 6: I think if you get the protection right, I think
Speaker 6: a lot of other things in this offense works, and
Speaker 6: they're gonna need that this week, as you guys all mentioned.
Speaker 6: All right, let's let's move on to the next question.
Speaker 6: Dallas averages two point nine seconds in time to pressure.
Speaker 6: That means from from snap to the time they get scare.
Speaker 6: That's the second longest time to pressure in the NFL.
Speaker 6: So they're not getting pressure as quickly as most teams.
Speaker 6: Is that acceptable though, if it gives them a better
Speaker 6: chance to be decent against the run, specifically this week
Speaker 6: when they're facing those running.
Speaker 7: Backs run that back.
Speaker 6: So you mentioned it last week, you were like, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm a lot less concerned about getting pressure than I
Speaker 6: am playing the lanes and stopping the run. So despite
Speaker 6: this stat that says they're not getting pressure and certainly
Speaker 6: not getting pressure quickly, are you okay with that? Is
Speaker 6: that acceptable? If as a result of that they're playing
Speaker 6: better rush defense.
Speaker 8: I still want to get after Cousins in this game.
Speaker 8: With what his stats look like whenever he's facing pressure
Speaker 8: compared to when he's not facing pressure, it's a clear discrepancy.
Speaker 8: I'd want to dedicate a little bit more resources towards
Speaker 8: getting after the quarterback in this one.
Speaker 3: Not satisfactory, Yeah, you'd be.
Speaker 6: You'd be comfortable in this game, not to put words
Speaker 6: in your mouth with giving up maybe the possibility of
Speaker 6: getting gassed a few times in the run.
Speaker 3: Game shat if you can get Seattle, game Seattle.
Speaker 4: If Jon Robinson did have one of his better games
Speaker 4: and they said, okay, fine, run the ball, but he didn't.
Speaker 3: He didn't kill him in the game all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: and it's like, but what do they do?
Speaker 4: They got after Cousins and they were able to make
Speaker 4: some things happen that way, and so give me this week.
Speaker 4: Last week I wanted to defend the run. This week,
Speaker 4: I need to get pressure. So it's not satisfactory if
Speaker 4: you're slow getting there.
Speaker 10: I agree, and I think if you're looking to start
Speaker 10: generating and creating some of those turnovers, this is the
Speaker 10: time to do it. When you do create some pressure
Speaker 10: there and making I mean, that's the most likely wait
Speaker 10: for Cousins to kind of throw those passes and then
Speaker 10: create a possibility possibility for these defenders to get their
Speaker 10: hands on that ball.
Speaker 6: All right, here's the last question I have for you guys.
Speaker 6: Which Dallas defender if you had to pick just one,
Speaker 6: if they played better than they've played to this point,
Speaker 6: it would have the greatest impact on this defense.
Speaker 7: I would say Mozzie Smith.
Speaker 8: I think if Mazzie Smith can be active in the
Speaker 8: run game like he was against the Giants, and maybe
Speaker 8: even find a little pass rush and get out of
Speaker 8: the quarterback a little bit, that would be huge for
Speaker 8: that defense. I kind of stand on the table as
Speaker 8: saying that if they had a one tech that was consistent,
Speaker 8: it would solve a lot of problems for this defense.
Speaker 7: It would kind of be a trickle down effect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Malik Hooker.
Speaker 4: If I could pick one guy that really has kind
Speaker 4: of had a little bit of some problems you've got
Speaker 4: to defend the middle of the field. These guys are
Speaker 4: gonna run. They're gonna try and run routes. It's not
Speaker 4: so much about all the crossing routes, but it's the
Speaker 4: seams and stuff that they throw down the middle of
Speaker 4: the field. You know, you might be in a situation
Speaker 4: too where you're gonna have to play some the heavy
Speaker 4: box stuff that we talked about having an extra guy down.
Speaker 4: That's gonna put Malik Hooker in a lot of situations
Speaker 4: playing in the middle of the field if he could
Speaker 4: be you know, he's dropped a couple of interceptions along
Speaker 4: the way, and that's the thing with cousins will do.
Speaker 4: Cousins will overthrow a ball too, and if he gets
Speaker 4: on pressure, you know, you can't drop balls. But I
Speaker 4: think Malik Hooker needs to be really, really good in
Speaker 4: this game.
Speaker 9: If he can, I'm gonna go with over Sean.
Speaker 10: I think with him, And I don't know if the
Speaker 10: Cows are gonna are planning on utilizing him this way
Speaker 10: this weekend, but we've talked about it on the show.
Speaker 10: He's one of the guys that you can utilize to
Speaker 10: create some pressure.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 10: So if he plays a really good game where he's
Speaker 10: been just fast, very quick on the footwork and the tackling.
Speaker 10: We know that's an area that the Cowboys having been
Speaker 10: great at and I think he can just play really
Speaker 10: really well and hopefully create some pressure somehow. I would
Speaker 10: point him as the guy that I would want him
Speaker 10: to be.
Speaker 3: Maybe need to be a little orthodox on defense today.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe it's gonna.
Speaker 4: It's there's some things you're probably like you say, Ambart,
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to take some chances here.
Speaker 3: You know the knicks right too.
Speaker 4: The pressure is so his stats first pressure and non
Speaker 4: pressure are tremendous and if you just allow him to
Speaker 4: feel comfortable. We've seen kirk Cousins throw for four hundred
Speaker 4: yards in the game when he was with the Commanders
Speaker 4: and the you know, the Vikings. You did a really
Speaker 4: good job of pressuring him. But this this game, you
Speaker 4: got to get pressure on him because it is it
Speaker 4: is clearly different the way he plays.
Speaker 8: I know O through these stats out earlier in the week,
Speaker 8: but I'll throw them out again when Kirk Cousins is
Speaker 8: not facing pressure. Fourteen hundred yards, twelve touchdowns, one interception,
Speaker 8: one hundred and eleven point seven pass rating when he
Speaker 8: is facing pressure. Seven hundred and seven yards, two touchdowns,
Speaker 8: six interceptions, sixty eight point five pass rating. So very
Speaker 8: very clear discrepancy there.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to our picks. Let's go round
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 6: Tell me what you think is going to happen this week,
Speaker 6: and I'll start with you.
Speaker 8: I was wrong against the when I when I predicted
Speaker 8: that the game against the Lions was going to be
Speaker 8: a shootout, it was, you know, it hit the over.
Speaker 7: But I think this is truly.
Speaker 3: One team was shooting h exactly, didn't over.
Speaker 7: That was right.
Speaker 8: But I truly think this is going to be a
Speaker 8: type of game where the last team that has has
Speaker 8: the ball wins. I think the offense is really going
Speaker 8: to find some strides this week. I think the Falcons
Speaker 8: are going to win though, and so I'm taking the Falcons.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Falcon's gonna win this one. It's gonna be thirty
Speaker 4: four to twenty eight.
Speaker 9: Sorry, Derek, but I have to say it.
Speaker 10: I have to say it. I think this is a week. Yes,
Speaker 10: I agree with Nick. The offense. They'll play a better
Speaker 10: game this week, and I think they'll get the change
Speaker 10: going and they'll be able to score at least two
Speaker 10: touchdowns at the very least. But the Falcons offense is
Speaker 10: just going to do more than yours, So I pick
Speaker 10: the Falcons.
Speaker 9: Unfortunately, I would.
Speaker 6: Say, I just got to keep believing, man, I gotta
Speaker 6: keep believing.
Speaker 2: Look, here's the deal.
Speaker 6: This is not something that we've seen really with Mike,
Speaker 6: that they lose three games in a row.
Speaker 2: That's that's not something we've seen.
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of things we haven't seen. I
Speaker 3: know we haven't seen defense.
Speaker 2: We certainly haven't.
Speaker 7: I don't feel it's good about my pick this week,
Speaker 7: as I haven't recently say.
Speaker 2: That I do.
Speaker 6: I do think, but also the difference is those last
Speaker 6: two teams you played are much better teams than my
Speaker 6: opinion than Atlanta is.
Speaker 2: I think there's an opportunity this weekend. It's just a
Speaker 2: matter of and a lot of this.
Speaker 6: I might change my opinion if if Trayvon doesn't play.
Speaker 6: If Trayvon plays, then I think Dallas has an opportunity here,
Speaker 6: and I think I think it'd be a high scoring game,
Speaker 6: by the way, but I think but.
Speaker 10: Either way that would be him playing banged up anyways, But.
Speaker 6: Him playing banged up is still better than throwing booth
Speaker 6: out there, throwing whoever.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have the experience. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to kill those guys.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying they just don't have the experience and
Speaker 6: going up and going.
Speaker 9: Up teammates like this, I mean, you know.
Speaker 2: They don't have the experience.
Speaker 6: And and then so I just that that's gonna be
Speaker 6: a very difficult task against an offense like this that
Speaker 6: loves to throw the ball, especially if Dallas can get
Speaker 6: any pressure, that's gonna be I mean, good night.
Speaker 2: But but I.
Speaker 6: Think if Trayvon can play, I think they got a shot.
Speaker 6: And I think it's a high scoring game. Thirty eight
Speaker 6: thirty four is what I would say as a final score.
Speaker 6: All Right, appreciate you guys doing us. We'll be back
Speaker 6: on Monday. Will tell you what went right and wrong.
Speaker 2: Till then. From the Harris Brian brought a Sambergarci. I'm
