George, 41 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 4: talk to you just about the in general, the upbringing, 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: the athletics and how those all interplayed together on your 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 4: way to Alabama. 44 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 6: Well, first, I tell you it's so cool to be 45 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 6: a military brat, right, just to be able to live 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 6: in different places, see a lot of different cultures. 47 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had to move every couple of years. 48 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 6: But being born in Michigan, going to Japan, living in 49 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 6: Germany for four years, living in Kansas, living in Florida, Louisiana, 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 6: I mean it, it taught me so much more right 51 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 6: on how to deal with people. Actually, you know, but 52 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 6: the experiences that I had to be able to be 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 6: overseas and see a bunch of different cultures was insurmountable. 54 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 7: On what that did for me and my life is 55 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 7: kind of cool. So it made it hard for the 56 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 7: athletic path, you know. Or fortunately I ended up in 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 7: Alabama on an Air Force base. 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: They're in high school, and that's how. 59 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 6: It started to trend to where I at least had 60 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 6: the opportunity but almost missed it, Bobby and you guys, 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 6: because my dad, as soon as we got there, he 62 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 6: ended up getting stationed over in Turkey. 63 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 5: Wow. 64 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 7: But he and my mom talked and decided to let 65 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 7: me graduate like all of my brothers. Some of my 66 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 7: brothers graduated overseas and I probably would have graduated over 67 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 7: in Turkey, but my mom decided to stay back and 68 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 7: they kind of you know, he went and served and 69 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 7: I stayed there so I could finish high school in 70 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 7: the state of Alabama. 71 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 8: I think that's so crazy because I've been working with 72 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 8: George and I didn't even. 73 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: Know that we're not covered. We got to get our 74 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: bases covered here. 75 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you talked about you know, you learn 76 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 8: some different cultures. What was one of your favorite culture 77 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 8: that you learned. 78 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 7: My my favorite spot by far was being in Germany. 79 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 5: Absolutely loved it. 80 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 6: It was the longest time I was there, but folks marches, 81 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 6: seeing castles, actually watching them sweep their streets on Sundays. 82 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 6: You know, it was just different and plus. All right, 83 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 6: here's another fun fact for you. I wanted to be 84 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 6: Pelay because I lived over See, so soccer was my 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 6: first sport. I actually paid on a German team. 86 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. I was that good in soccer. 87 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 6: I couldnot really speak it the way they did, but 88 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 6: that I would. I had a love for soccer at 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 6: the time, and it didn't change until I went to 90 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 6: Alabama and I decided, you know, play football. 91 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 4: We've talked about this with a couple different guests before. 92 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: It seems like a lot of the guys that we 93 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 4: have come through here, we find out that they were 94 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 4: multi sport athletes, and and you know, you find that 95 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: today there's some coaches and some individuals who encourage you 96 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 4: to just stay on the one path of football or 97 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 4: stay on the one path of the sport. And it 98 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: seems like universally the guys who make it to the 99 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: league say no, don't, don't do that. Play other sports, 100 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 4: develop other skill sets, things like that. How much do 101 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 4: you think the the soccer. I know you did some track, 102 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 4: how much do you think those aspects of what you 103 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: did in high school helped to get you on the 104 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: path that you needed to go on for football? 105 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 106 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 7: I played a big part. I mean I was involved 107 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 7: in everything pretty much. 108 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 6: I wanted to be a baseball player too, but I 109 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 6: found out I was afraid to stand around the plate 110 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 6: curveball started coming. 111 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 5: I couldn't handle it, you know what I mean. 112 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 7: But being multi sport, and I say this as a 113 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 7: coach man, you gotta do it. 114 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 6: I encourage it. You learned so much more. Your body 115 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 6: moves different. There's different types of conditioning there's all types 116 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 6: of things that happened with it. So playing soccer, playing basketball, 117 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 6: you know, up until ninth grade was. 118 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: Probably really good for me too. 119 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 6: Kind of see that I wasn't tall enough and I 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 6: couldn't jump high enough like some of those guys, But 121 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 6: I was very fortunate to be able to play multiple 122 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 6: sports growing up. 123 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 4: You know, it's something where you talk about how you 124 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: were able to go ahead and graduate high school in 125 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 4: Alabama when your parents were making that decision and they 126 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 4: were coming to a difficult decision specifically for you to 127 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: let you finish out. How much of it for them 128 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: was just about well the academics and the ease of 129 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: getting out of school versus they recognized your potential athletic 130 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 4: lee and they were trying to fast struck that. Was 131 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: it just about the school aspect and hey, let's let 132 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: him run this out or were they saying, no, he's 133 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 4: got something potentially special here, let's let him see this through. 134 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 6: Both, but probably more of the athletics side. So my 135 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 6: brother graduated from Germany. Like I said, you know, he 136 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 6: was a very good football player, but he might have 137 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 6: been better than me, honestly, but he didn't have the 138 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 6: opportunities for that, and so once it. 139 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 7: Came to that, and I think they saw some of 140 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 7: the athletic ability. No, I know they do. Another story 141 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 7: because I wanted to play soccer. 142 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 6: My mom, actually my mom Nate said no, sir, you're 143 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 6: not gonna play soccer. 144 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: You're gonna go play football.

Where you saw 399 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 4: Troyman in the standard that he said and that you 400 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 4: were like, I can't let his work go to waste 401 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: because I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do. 402 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: When you have. 403 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 7: Great players around you and then they care about winning 404 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 7: and you have a part like Charles Haley. 405 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 2: Charles Haley was my difference man. You know. 406 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 7: He came in and he said, man, you know, your 407 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 7: first four or five games of the year, we watch 408 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 7: you in San Francisco, and boy, you knocking folks at you, balling, 409 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 7: you doing this. 410 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: Then I see you later on in the year. 411 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 5: You're known game. 412 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 7: Wait, you you're okay, but you ain't the guy we 413 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 7: saw at the beginning of the year. And he and 414 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 7: we set up a regiment, started working out, and then 415 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 7: that's when it dawned on me. I'm looking at Troy, 416 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 7: I'm looking at him, and I'm looking at Mike and 417 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 7: these guys are working there behind off. They got a 418 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 7: purpose in life. They know where they want to be, 419 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 7: barring injury. So you know, when you around good people, 420 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 7: solid people with a people with purpose. 421 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 5: And then and you. 422 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: Get a young man like Charles Hayleen. 423 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 7: I don't want to call him a bad name, but uh, 424 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 7: he was a good idiot, you know what I'm saying. 425 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 7: And he drove me, him and him and Tony Tober. So, uh, 426 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 7: when I started, when working became a habit, like you know, 427 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 7: I started working instead of drinking all the time and 428 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 7: partying all the time, I spended summer that time. 429 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 2: Working towards my craft, and it took me to a 430 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: new level. You know. 431 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 4: It's We talked to Rocketedition in last year and Rocket 432 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 4: was talking about the very first game he played, the 433 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 4: ninety nine season opener against Washington. It was the twenty 434 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 4: one point comeback, and Rockett was talking about how he 435 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 4: dropped the pass in the first half and Eric Williams 436 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: just like walloped him on his side and He's like, 437 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 4: I'm not He's like, I'm not kidding. My whole half 438 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: was numb for like the rest of the game. He's like, 439 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: when I caught that pass. I was numb still, but 440 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 4: he said that it struck, and he said he still 441 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: remembers standing in the huddle and just kind of looking 442 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: across and being like, the standard with these guys is different, 443 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 4: and then the accountability is different. Like there's a feeling 444 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 4: here and an expectation from other players that you don't 445 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 4: normally feel around football team. And Rocket was almost ten 446 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 4: years into his career at that point. Rocket had played 447 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 4: big time college football and so it's not like Rocket 448 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 4: was just like walking into an NFL locker room the 449 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 4: first time, George, you were you got here a little 450 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 4: bitter than that. You were here in ninety six, and 451 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 4: then the second tour was started in ninety eight, and 452 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 4: so you were here a little bit earlier than Rocket 453 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 4: was on that first one. But was that something that 454 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: stood out to you as well when when you kind 455 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 4: of finally settled into Dallas. Was just the camaraderie and 456 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: the accountability from other players. 457 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 6: Because it was totally different as good as I thought 458 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 6: it was in Green Bay being baby, so it was 459 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 6: different when I got here and having the year in Miami, 460 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 6: so I had a couple different places to look at, 461 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 6: and they thought they all have good traditions and coaches. 462 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 5: But coming here, man, it changed. 463 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 7: I'll tell you who hit me the hardest, I guess 464 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 7: was Kevin Smith. 465 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 6: Those people don't talk about him enough. He actually helped 466 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 6: me change the way I do my footwork. Darren Woodson, 467 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 6: you know, just his ability, the way he worked out 468 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 6: and did those things. And then who I watched all 469 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 6: the time was Michael Irvin. I just couldn't believe the 470 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 6: way that he trained and work out, and it just 471 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 6: was something different. 472 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: Like, man, I'm not doing enough. 473 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 5: You know, I. 474 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 6: Gotta do more, telling you out of the way these 475 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 6: these guys are working. And so I know that's how 476 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 6: I ended up staying in you know, a league another 477 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 6: four or five. 478 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 5: Years really from just coming here. 479 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 7: You know, the sad thing about this, in this new 480 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 7: world of we have to like everybody.

I don't begrudge none of that.

I don't care 500 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: how great you are. 501 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 7: Even Lawrence Taylor new Witness show up right now, no now, 502 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 7: and that was a different guy that Laurence Taylor was 503 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 7: a different guy. 504 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 4: I'm sure. I'm guessing you do, Georgia. 505 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 5: I know you do. 506 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 4: Nayton Nicole, we all know Brian brought us for a 507 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 4: former Cowboy scout, former Packers scout, and and somebody Brian 508 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 4: has being somebody who worked around the game of football. 509 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 2: I know. 510 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 4: The nastiest thing Brian brought us can say about you 511 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 4: is he goes that person's a bad teammate. Yeah, and 512 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 4: he says that's a bad teammate, that that carries weight 513 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 4: to Brian of just like you are you have no character. 514 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 4: You have like that is like one of the lowest 515 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 4: things you can say when you talk about how both 516 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 4: of you are motivated by other people's work ethic or 517 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 4: doing certain things, and how that elevates you. It is easy, 518 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 4: I think for a lot of fans to here's some 519 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 4: discussions about culture that Brian Schottenheimer's talking about here and 520 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 4: and wanting to establish that, and maybe some people are 521 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 4: just kind of like, Okay, that sounds like try hard stuff. 522 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 4: Why why does culture and and that work ethic and stuff, 523 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 4: Why is it so contagious and why does it make 524 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: a difference at such a high level of athletics. 525 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 7: Bobby, I think when you say the word culture, people 526 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 7: don't even know what heck you're talking about. 527 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 4: It's a vague it's a big much. 528 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, culture, the cultures, the process, all these words. People 529 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 6: don't even know what you're talking about unless you're in 530 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 6: it and you try to see the changes that the 531 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 6: coaches are making. So you know, to watch Schottenheimer specifically 532 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 6: because that unfortunately, I was able to sit in some 533 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 6: meetings and watch what he's doing. Man, it's back kind 534 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 6: of more what you're saying, what Nate is alluding to 535 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 6: of trying to do things together. Simple little things are 536 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 6: competing together, shooting basketball, doing all those stuff before. 537 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 5: The meetings, those kind of things. 538 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 6: Those are difference makers because it pulls people to together. 539 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 5: You know. 540 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 7: So the culture is super super important of what that 541 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 7: really looks like, you know, because there are a lot 542 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 7: of teams there talk about their culture. 543 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 6: Maybe they have a lot of talent, but it's not 544 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 6: put together right because there's individuals, there's too many little pockets. 545 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 6: The success that I've always seen on every good team 546 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 6: that I've been around, the ones that. 547 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 7: You study, whether they liked each other or not, man, 548 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 7: they found a way to get it done together. They're 549 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 7: hanging out together, they're eating together, they're listening to music together, 550 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 7: they're doing whatever, praying together, you know, all these kind 551 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 7: of things. 552 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: A lot of teams missed that. You say, how can 553 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: they have so much talent and be so sorry? 554 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 6: It's typically because of that, and that has to be 555 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 6: driven by the coach to say, no, we're going to 556 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 6: come together and the staff, because your staff can be 557 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 6: part of your culture problem too if they're not put 558 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 6: together right. And the head coach has to monitor all that, 559 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 6: and it's hard it's hard to do. 560 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 7: So culture is just vague. I wish there was something 561 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 7: else we could say so people actually know what it is. 562 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 8: Did you guys handle because I'm sure you guys played 563 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 8: under multiple coaches that have a different type of culture, 564 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 8: and luckily the front office hit with Shady in terms 565 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 8: of their culture. But how did y'all handle the transition 566 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 8: of maybe one culture wasn't as good as the other 567 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 8: or vice versa. 568 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 7: It one thing about culture, and like you said, it's 569 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 7: so vague. But the culture that we thrived on, even 570 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 7: him at Alabama, because I knew that I watched y'all 571 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 7: at Alabama. 572 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 5: Was disciplined. 573 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 7: And it's rules and discipline that gets you going in 574 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 7: the right direction. 575 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: And Jimmy would tell you, yeah, he's a great player, I'm. 576 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 7: Gonna let him do this, but you know, this is 577 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 7: what you He treated everybody a little bit different depending 578 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 7: on who you were, what's your responsibilities to this team 579 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 7: and what do you mean? But he had a core 580 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 7: belief in certain things that he wasn't gonna let slide. 581 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: You had to pay a price. 582 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 5: And so. 583 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 7: When I look at this, this type of you know 584 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 7: what just upset? 585 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 5: He said, Well, it's there what he's talking about. 586 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 7: We're coaching little things like right, whether you come to 587 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 7: the meeting or not all time. 588 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 5: Who lets you slide? 589 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: Do they just kind of you know, you're two minutes late. 590 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 6: Or they're expecting you to be there five minutes early 591 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 6: and sitting down and ready. 592 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 7: For when coach comes in, The team goes working out, 593 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 7: the team is stretching for a game.

It 655 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 4: was a preseason game starting lineup on the offensive line essentially, right, 656 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 4: you're missing Cavante Turpin, You're missing Miles Sanders, who's one 657 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 4: of your blitz pick up guys. You're missing Ceedee Lamb 658 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 4: and they go out there and and have a really 659 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 4: strong day offensively. I guess just both of you will start, 660 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 4: George and we'll go to nate some of your your 661 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 4: takeaways from this game. And I guess my centralized question 662 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 4: for it is is the ability to weather things like 663 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 4: that next man up ideas and sort of those things. 664 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 4: Does that go from just a slogan to a practice 665 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 4: when the culture since we don't have a better report 666 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 4: when the culture is right? 667 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 9: Uh? 668 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 6: I think that does bode well for what you're talking 669 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 6: about culture and how you mean EDI five. 670 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 5: I guess, can you actually do it and playing and 671 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 5: what kind of. 672 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: Coaching that you're actually receiving? 673 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 6: You know, I am fortunate enough to be able to 674 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 6: do some work with Nicole and we're speaking of the 675 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 6: culture of her shows. 676 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: Man, she's a griller. 677 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 5: Man, she's been getting on me. 678 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: I mess up. 679 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 7: She'd be like, George, what you're doing. 680 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,720 Speaker 2: But seriously, man, I didn't know what expects. 681 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 6: I was worried going into the game because of what 682 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 6: you're saying, all the injuries, all the new players and 683 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 6: different things. And then when you see it actually start 684 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 6: to happen, it is definitely a great reflection of what 685 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 6: the guys are doing in the locker room, in my opinion, 686 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 6: or and from the coaching staff. 687 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 7: You get these guys right to play against the you know, okay, 688 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 7: they were all for it, but they were a good 689 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 7: football team. When you're dealing with the offensive line that 690 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 7: they had, it was supposed to be intact. 691 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and we basically just destroyed. 692 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 7: Them all up front with our past rush and things 693 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 7: of that nature. So and to be able to run 694 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 7: the ball that we did with our hurt guys, that's 695 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 7: that's culture. 696 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,959 Speaker 5: That's good atmosphere. 697 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 7: You just hope that you can stack week after week 698 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 7: after week before we get too excited, can we do 699 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 7: it again? 700 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 2: You know this upcoming week? 701 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 7: You know, I just believe you know, yeah, you know, 702 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 7: I'm wit shotting all the way, good batter and different 703 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 7: I want because you know, you know, I'll use Dan Campbell. 704 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 7: It was thirteen weeks he had a tie before he 705 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 7: had an actual win. And I feel bad for the 706 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 7: Jets coach because he's he's telling the fans they're getting better, 707 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 7: but you can't see it, not right now. But it's 708 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 7: gonna take a win or two. And then, like Jorge says, 709 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 7: stack style stacking, we. 710 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 2: Were supposed to be the Jets. 711 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 7: And I tell people, and I know this may not 712 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 7: resonate with a lot of people, but you see why 713 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 7: the tide didn't bother him because he was able to 714 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 7: say this is yes, we didn't win this game, but 715 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 7: this is how we can build. And now he's got 716 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 7: to win. So now let's see how does. 717 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: He play Carolina. Carolina, they tough at home. They are 718 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 2: two different teams. 719 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 7: At home, they're a lot better than what they are 720 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 7: on the road. 721 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 2: The record indicates that. The way they play indicates that. 722 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 7: So we'll just see how we handle back to back 723 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 7: road games. 724 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 5: How they do it, you know, the process. 725 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 8: One of my questions, I'm sorry talking about good things 726 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 8: that we saw last week, but honestly, one of the 727 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 8: most consistent pieces that we've seen all year is Javonte Williams. 728 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 8: Y'all have played with some talented running backs. How would 729 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 8: y'all compare Who would y'all compare him to in terms 730 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 8: of what y'all have seen so far? 731 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 5: Oh? 732 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 2: Man, Okay, So I can't. I don't want to get 733 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 2: to So this is the way I look at it. 734 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 6: I don't want to say I actually compare it to him, 735 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 6: But it makes me think of someone that I played against, right, 736 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 6: and that was Terrell Davis right from the Broncos. 737 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 2: Because this guy is physical. 738 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 7: Dravonte Williams, He's physical, and his yards after contact are impeccable. 739 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 5: You know, you could hit TD. 740 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 6: It hurt to hit him, and you know he was 741 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,439 Speaker 6: gonna fall forward and you get two, three, four more 742 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 6: yards all the time. Now, I'm not saying you know 743 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 6: that Davante is a Hall of Fame running back, but 744 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 6: when you're. 745 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 2: Talking about the power of running backs when you. 746 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 6: Hit them and they continue to get the extra yards, 747 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 6: you know, his patience, his ability to be able to 748 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 6: see the whole are impeccable, you know. And everything I've 749 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 6: heard and I do the research on and talk to 750 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 6: about it. 751 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 5: It is that. 752 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 6: Experience with that when you have the way that we're 753 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 6: blocking up front, with the scheme that he's putting in, 754 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 6: that it makes him a better running back than he 755 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 6: maybe has been over the past couple of years. So 756 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 6: to me, I think it's the physical running style that 757 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 6: makes him look more. 758 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 5: Like someone like that for me. 759 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 7: Uh you know, he's to me is in he's in 760 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 7: the class of his own. 761 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 2: Uh he he uh. 762 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 5: You know. 763 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 2: Zeke had that that power like that, that punch like that. 764 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 7: But the Zeke in his early days, Zeke can go 765 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 7: sixty easy. This kid here may not can go sixty. 766 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 7: But if he gets a chance to toe that ball 767 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 7: like twenty five or thirty times going, he I think. 768 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 5: He can go sixty. 769 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: Because the defense ain't gonna want none of it. 770 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 5: They don't want to keep hitting them. 771 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, they ain't gonna want to keep hitting. 772 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 7: So a lot of guys don't run as fast and 773 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 7: they say, Okay, he ain't nothing to touchdown. 774 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 4: How much does it help for for somebody when they're blocking, 775 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 4: like you, Nate, when Javonte Williams had a really great 776 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 4: breakdown on Dallas Cowboys dot Com had the social team 777 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 4: did a really cool thing with him where the gave 778 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 4: him an iPad and they just had him break down 779 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 4: the sixty six yard run that he had. And he's 780 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 4: talking about the play and he's talking about, you know, 781 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 4: all right, I'm getting this block here, and he talks 782 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 4: about like he sees the pulling guard. When he sees 783 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 4: the pulling guard, Mic ends up chasing that because he 784 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 4: thinks that's the gap, and he's like, I know instantly, 785 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 4: like this is gonna be a big run. I don't 786 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 4: know how far yet. But you see him on that 787 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 4: run and he maintains balance through the contact. There are 788 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 4: two or three different times he kind of pinballs off 789 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 4: before he kind of breaks free and runs it down. 790 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 4: How encouraging is it to an offensive lineman when you're thinking, man, 791 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 4: I gotta just if I just give him a little bit, 792 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 4: he'll he'll even fight through a little bit of contact. 793 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 4: I don't have to block this up. I don't have 794 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 4: to pancake every guy. I can just if I give 795 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 4: him some space, he'll take it. 796 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 2: When we have a running back like that, we stay 797 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 2: on the block. 798 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 7: We don't, you know, like the guy he spoke of 799 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 7: with Denver Ye, that is the guy if you just 800 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 7: got to live it on him. He can he going 801 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 7: this guy here. You stay on your block, You go 802 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 7: through your block through the whistle, because he is coming forward. 803 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 7: And if it's muddy, just stay on your block. You 804 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 7: have to maintain it. Just maintain your block. You don't 805 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 7: have to knock the guy off the line. You just 806 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 7: stay and maintain your block. As long as you don't 807 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 7: get knocked back. This guy is going to make it 808 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 7: happen for you. That's the difference in him. 809 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 2: Would you rather hit somebody named Davant or Reggie?

So Dak had another really strong performance 827 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 4: in this one, kind of the killer touchdown, the one 828 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 4: to Pickens when they got man coverage, uh with sauce Gardner, 829 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 4: and I went back and I was looking at that 830 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 4: play and they just they went straight max protect and 831 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 4: it was basically a two route concept. There's just two 832 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 4: verticals and then you had Javante leaking out at the 833 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 4: end as as just kind of like the checkdown. But 834 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 4: when they've got the confidence to all right, we know 835 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 4: sauce Gardner's standing over there, but we're we're gonna put 836 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 4: confidence in George Pickens, and we're gonna put confidence of 837 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 4: Dak to deliver the ball on the money against a 838 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 4: ball hawking type of dB. What level of confidence does 839 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 4: that speak to in terms of where the offenses head 840 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 4: is at right now, and and and the sore I 841 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 4: don't want to say arrogance. It's definitely confidence, but just 842 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 4: a really strong confidence that we can play at a 843 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:07,760 Speaker 4: certain level and attack anybody. 844 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 7: You know, what I've liked, what I like about this 845 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,720 Speaker 7: situation is Dak's connected real well at this time early 846 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 7: in the season with his head coach and play caller. 847 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 7: They are connected. Dak has seen it all and all 848 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 7: Coach Schottenheimer asks him to do is get us in 849 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 7: and out of the plays. I do not let us 850 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 7: have bad plays, and so he's been able to keep 851 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 7: them in the. 852 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 2: Correct play and his pocket presence. 853 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,879 Speaker 7: It's been a long time since I seen a quarterback 854 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 7: have this much pocket presence. Because Green Bay game I 855 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 7: saw five or six times, but it's like, whoa, he 856 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 7: barely got that ball off. Bro And I seen six 857 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 7: or seven times in this game, but it's like, oh, 858 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 7: he barely got this ball. He is understanding where the 859 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 7: ball needs to go. If you need to maneuvering a 860 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,720 Speaker 7: little bit in the pocket to help that receiveral break open, 861 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 7: he's doing it, but he is getting rid of that ball. 862 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 7: My question is is this and what do you do 863 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 7: when you play teams that are equal or better than you? 864 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 2: That is what I'm waiting on. 865 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 7: That is what I'm waiting on because I'm hoping our 866 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 7: players are back. 867 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 2: I'm hoping I left guard is back. I'm hoping that 868 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 2: right guard is back and have played together because we're 869 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,879 Speaker 2: gonna need that going down to stretch you. We're gonna 870 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 2: continue to grow. 871 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 4: Did you feel like Green Bay wasn't that a team 872 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 4: that was equal or better than you. 873 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 7: I thought, at certain positions on their defense, we're better 874 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 7: than us. I didn't feel like their interior was better 875 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 7: than us. And I'm talking about their down interior lineman wasn't. 876 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 2: Better than us. 877 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, but their defensive ends were better than our guys, 878 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 7: much much much better than I at this point in time. 879 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 7: They got a linebacker he's nice. I can't think of 880 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 7: the kid's name, but uh, he's a nice guy. In 881 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 7: their corners. Their corners are playing to that coverage. They 882 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 7: would jump some things. I mean they'll sit back. I mean, 883 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 7: you can speak more to that than I can. 884 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,439 Speaker 5: But the film that we. 885 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 7: Saw before they played the Cowboys, you a lot of 886 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 7: the routes that the Cowboys were getting that and that 887 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 7: says about by Schottenheimer and and Dak because a lot 888 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 7: of teams wasn't getting that. They wasn't getting that, but 889 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,800 Speaker 7: shot he found a way to get those get those plays. 890 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 4: Let's go, let's take our final break of the show. 891 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 4: When we come back, I just I got a question 892 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,919 Speaker 4: for for both of you to think about as we're 893 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 4: getting ready to throw to break. I was talking to 894 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 4: a player coming out in the draft a couple of 895 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 4: years ago when Brian Schottenheimer is the offensive coordinator, and 896 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 4: he was saying that Brian Schottenheimer had told him as 897 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 4: the Offeniporinnador asked me. He said, what's it like to 898 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 4: play with Dak Prescott? And he said, if you want 899 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 4: to make sure you are in the exact right position, 900 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,240 Speaker 4: the exact right look, and the exact right play every 901 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 4: single time when you break the huddle, that you break 902 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 4: the huddle and your quarterback scans it, he's gonna put 903 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 4: you in the best position to succeed and it's just 904 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 4: up to you to execute. That's what it's like to 905 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 4: play with Dak Prescott. So what I want you guys 906 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 4: think about is Nate, the confidence that comes from having 907 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 4: a quarterback who you know is gonna put you in 908 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 4: the best position. And George, the stress it puts on 909 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 4: the defense when you feel like we've got a guy 910 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 4: over here who has all the answers to the test. 911 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 4: And we'll talk about that when we come back here 912 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 4: on the SLBBC Cowboys Cross. 913 00:47:26,640 --> 00:50:25,280 Speaker 9: Talk Cowboys, No Cowboys, no Cowboys. 914 00:49:54,840 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 3: Tas back back to SWBC mortgages Dallas Cowboys Cross Talk. 915 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, check out broadcasting live from the Cowboys Club at 916 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco at. 917 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 4: S WBC Customer solutions for individuals and businesses are just 918 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 4: to click away.

I 946 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 6: would say that you could just see the confidence in Dackett. 947 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 5: He might have been doing it all the while, but 948 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 5: it just looks different. 949 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, And from a defense perspective, that is, it is 950 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 6: deflating when it seems like you can't get anything right. 951 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 6: And it's something that you can see as a defensive 952 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 6: back because they always look at the safety and then 953 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,919 Speaker 6: you could just see the quarterback's face kind of like, oh, 954 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 6: I got you. 955 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 2: You know this kind of thing before like oh crap, 956 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 2: what does that mean? 957 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 5: You know? 958 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 6: And I saw that in like uh, Troy Aikman when 959 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 6: I was with the Green Bay Packers. 960 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 5: They were coming here. You can see and it's almost like. 961 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,879 Speaker 7: They got a little grin and then you start seeing 962 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 7: moving around and making the check. 963 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 6: You're like, oh, well, you don't know what's real, and 964 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 6: it ain't. And then they complete the pass or they 965 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 6: checked to the run and you just kind of off guard. 966 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 6: And it's just it's deflating to have that happen to 967 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 6: you when you're on the other side of the ball, 968 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 6: because it seems. 969 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 4: Like you can't do anything right Nate for you to 970 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,720 Speaker 4: is that just a big confidence boost for an offense 971 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 4: when you're like, I know, the field general back here 972 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 4: is gonna put us in positions, so we just got 973 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:45,719 Speaker 4: to do our job. 974 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 7: I remember when one year Philly got a lot of 975 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 7: sacks on us. Then the next year, uh, we played 976 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 7: Philadelphia and Troy just he wanted it and well he 977 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 7: he was jacking around and he wanted to score one 978 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 7: more touchdown and you can just see it. 979 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:04,720 Speaker 2: In his eyes. 980 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 7: Man, when you got a confident quarterback, you would do 981 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:15,239 Speaker 7: almost anything to make sure you get your block the 982 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 7: correct way, you know, And so when you got a 983 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 7: quarterback like that, I've seen Joe Montana, I've seen Steve Young, 984 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 7: I've seen Brett fav I've seen the best surgically just 985 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 7: eat up my team and eat up other teams, and 986 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 7: I've seen it live. 987 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 2: Ain't nothing like that in the world, man, for sure. Yeah, 988 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 2: that ain't nothing like that in the world. 989 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 5: Bro. 990 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,959 Speaker 7: When you can just know that you got that guy, 991 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:39,959 Speaker 7: when you know you got that guy. 992 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,879 Speaker 8: A couple of years ago, I feel like we were 993 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,840 Speaker 8: talking about Dak and how he was seeing the field 994 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 8: so well. Obviously second MVP voting led the league in 995 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 8: touchdown passes, in passing yards, But do y'all feel like 996 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 8: he's playing at just a whole new level, like better 997 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 8: than that twenty twenty three. 998 00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 2: I have to wait another seven or eight games. 999 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 7: Because I've seen guys catch fire in down the Jones 1000 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 7: with the coats. His history says that he's not that good, 1001 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 7: but his maturity says something different. When you see him 1002 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,800 Speaker 7: throw the ball now and how he handles the ball. 1003 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 7: The first thing a confident quarterback does is he don't 1004 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 7: turn the ball over. You don't, don't you know what 1005 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:25,439 Speaker 7: I'm saying. 1006 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,239 Speaker 2: He protects the ball. 1007 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,399 Speaker 7: And so that is he's protecting the ball and he's 1008 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 7: protecting his offensive line. 1009 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,160 Speaker 2: Trusts me when I'm telling you that, and. 1010 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 5: I don't know that. I have to wait to see 1011 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 5: it believe it. 1012 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,400 Speaker 6: I think it's and maybe it's that I'm looking at 1013 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 6: body language. 1014 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 5: It just looks different. 1015 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 6: It feels different, Like I said, it just I don't 1016 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,400 Speaker 6: know if it's It just seemed like his confidence in 1017 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 6: making them, he was already doing it. Okay, I'm not 1018 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 6: saying that. It's just there's a different presence. You can 1019 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 6: tell it. I'm a high school football coach, and. 1020 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 7: You can see when your quarterback is trying to take 1021 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 7: over talking to the line of doing something. You just 1022 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 7: know like, oh man, this is good without even you know, 1023 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:05,280 Speaker 7: knowing what's. 1024 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 5: About to happen. 1025 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 7: The reason I'm saying that, brother team, and I'm agreeing 1026 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 7: with you. You know my heart won't say yeah, he's 1027 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 7: on fire. 1028 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 2: But cautiously optimistic. No, no, no, it's. 1029 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 7: There's some games coming, brood, there's some games coming and 1030 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 7: you're acting a guy. And we saw it with Cincinnati 1031 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 7: quarterback last year. I'm not saying he can't keep this up, 1032 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 7: but you're asking the guy to score on average thirty 1033 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 7: five plus points a game unless your defense go from 1034 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 7: a ranked thirty two team defense with at least to 1035 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:49,760 Speaker 7: seventeen Yeah, that is what I'm basing it on. Because 1036 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,959 Speaker 7: when you put that much pressure on a quarterback, which 1037 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 7: he's willingly accepting, that's a great thing. 1038 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,280 Speaker 2: What happens. 1039 00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 5: And I'll say it. 1040 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 10: Again, when you play equal a greater talent, that'll be 1041 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,680 Speaker 10: a big question for them, and and they'll have an 1042 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 10: opportunity to answer that question as the season kind of 1043 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 10: wears on and this schedule gets a little bit tougher. 1044 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 4: We got just about forty seconds left.
