24
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,319

25
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: every day, five days a week, that's correct, And I

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: had no idea who he is. And now I know

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: who I'm talking to. Met him in person, that's right.

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Now you know who to avoid if you see. No, No,

29
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: he takes care of me. Like when I forget it's

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock, I get the phone call from Reggie and

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I come running down. Reggie was he was he taller

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: than you thought he would be in person. No, it's

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: about the right height. No, on the right height. But

34
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: it's it's not about you know, the size of the dog.

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: It's it's the fighting the dog. We know, Micky, he

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: knew the voice, you know. Yeah, there's some fighting, Mickey.

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,480

85
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: know this all too well. Nate, no lie loves to travel, right,

86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: he loves to dry. It doesn't fly. Oh, he drives

87
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: all these places. He one time texted us in the

88
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: middle of the week, went all the way to California,

89
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: San Diego, went down to Mexico to have lunch with

90
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: a guy, and then drove all the way back. Yeah.

91
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: But that's the scenic way to do it, isn't it.

92
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: It's the way to do it. Fly and you see

93
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: the airport, you drive, you see the you see him, Yeah,

94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: yeah I do. I've seen America the ugly, the good,

95
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: the bad, and it don't matter whatever you mean where

96
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm going because when I went down to Mexico, tell

97
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: us about it? Did I want to take pictures to

98
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: make sure everybody know? Why? Whoa boy? You think it's

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: a bad spots in America? Mexico can do it to you. Well,

100
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: you mentioned the good, the bad, the ugly. Reggie, where

101
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: are you at on this Cowboys team right now? It's

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: rained Before you do that it's kind of flipped. The

103
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, the offense was carrying the team.

104
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, if this defense can just be middle

105
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: of the road, we're in good shape. The offense is

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna score forty every week. We just need to hold

107
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: them to thirty nine. Right now, it's like we got

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: a top five offense, I mean defense. Man. Now now

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the offense trying to get it together. Where are you

110
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: My personal opinion, if you can figure the offensive side out,

111
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: you got the right people at the right time. Coming

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: back on defense, you got a few weeks to figure

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: that out. We're gonna be hard to reckon with in

114
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but can we get there offensively? Where are

115
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: you at on this whole time? Oh man? Good, bad,

116
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: and ugly is a great way of putting it right now.

117
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's been flipped. We expected the

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: offense to carry the load in the defense to just

119
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: come along and do their part. Defense is carrying the

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: load at this point in the year. That's the good.

121
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: The bad has been the injuries. But fortunately for this

122
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys team, you're starting to see the folks come back

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: and that pass rush that's come together and Randy Gregory Tank,

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: Lawrence Michael Parsons, that's gonna put some fear in the

125
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: rest of the teams in the NFC. In the NFL,

126
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: the ugly right now has been the offense. And like

127
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: the unfortunately the guy that has been really good this

128
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: year to start, Dak Prescott, it's been it's been ugly played.

129
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: But fortunately at least the way that I've been able

130
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: to u gather some hope in it is we've seen

131
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: him be incredible this season. So if he can get

132
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: back to that type of play and execution really with

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the offense, and I think that this is a team

134
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: to be reckoned with all the way through the postseason. Mick.

135
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: They got to get the offensive line fixed because Dack's

136
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: not out there playing singles. As Bill Parcels used to

137
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: tell us, right, this is a team game, And did

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: you do you think it's just kind of coincidence that

139
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback is struggling a little, the running game is

140
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: struggling a little, So why is that. Well, if those

141
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: guys up front don't play any better, they'll continue to struggle.

142
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: They got to get that line settled. They got to

143
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: get some continuity up there and then get these guys

144
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: going behind them. So to me, when you're playing quarterback

145
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: under durest a lot, you're gonna make some mistakes and

146
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna start forcing things when you're not running the

147
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: football and you're always in second and eight, third and seven.

148
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: That's that's bett, you know, good for the defense, right.

149
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that's got to happen is

150
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: when they execute. They got to do it in the zone.

151
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: Because one one out of five touchdowns in the red

152
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: zone this past Sunday, that's not gonna cut it. That'll

153
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: get you beat because you're kicking too many field goals.

154
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: So they kind of quit making mistakes when they get

155
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: into the red zone and put themselves in a hole.

156
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: If they can get that offensive line playing with some continuity,

157
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: they'll figure this offense out. They guest of honor, where

158
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: are you at on all this? You know? The amazing

159
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: thing about all of this is all of this can

160
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: be fixed with with with with one simple ouncer, And

161
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: they started to shlfing other offensive lines around. By the

162
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: time our quarterback returned from a calf injury, that was

163
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: number one that was wrong. Number two. When we saw

164
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: that our quarterback was not doing what he normally does

165
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: and that's cover up the mistakes. Then you should have

166
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: started right then, Doug nussmer Kell, him and coach mccarthers

167
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: started right there in the second game against the FC West,

168
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: fixing it right then. You know, we should have saw

169
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: that his decision making was a live it off, you know,

170
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: and we should have been trying to get him back

171
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: to rookie Dak where Dak would not throw that ball

172
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: into trumpling devil curve coverage. He would not he would

173
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: know what was going on, and if he didn't see it,

174
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: he just threw the ball away. So that's where we

175
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: started at. Secondly, Secondly, offensive line is not as bad

176
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: as most people want to want to portray it. You know,

177
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: we don't have the great back anymore because he is hurt.

178
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: Zeke is hurt. We don't have a tight end that

179
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: we can set the edge so we can take advantage

180
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: of turning it pollup before he got hurt. This offensive

181
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: line is a middle of the old role offensive line.

182
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: When the right guard is missing or the left tackle

183
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: is missing, we've become an average offensive line. When those

184
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: two guys are in, we are above average of the line.

185
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Coach Filman should be in coach Kellum's office, making sure

186
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: that protection lines up with what the quarterback is trying

187
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: to throw. What another thing we have to do is

188
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you gotta know where your strength at. And everybody else

189
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: can talk about what's supposed to be. We got to

190
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: talk about what is We got three diamonds mega diamonds

191
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: sitting on our offense that we will not get the

192
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: ball to. I don't care if they drop a few

193
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: pass I'm talking about wide receivers. That is your job

194
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver coach, that is your job running I mean

195
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. These are the stars. Find a way, you know.

196
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Aren't you tired of saying, Wow, New England do it

197
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: with less talent. Well, New England don't do it with

198
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: less talent. They have great talent. That's just what they got,

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: y'all believing. But to come out and run a ball

200
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: fifty times fifty times? You mean to tell me we

201
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: got three mega why receiver us and we cannot find

202
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: a way to get them the ball? No, sir, No sir.

203
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: We should be by the end of this deal and

204
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: were sitting at maybe twelve and whatever. We should be

205
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: killing folks when it comes to the playoffs because our

206
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: quarterback been on found his glory and they've never been

207
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: a found a scheme that fits what our stars are.

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Zeke is hurt if he wasn't, he was on his

209
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: way to something special to Toni, A polo has found

210
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: his niche We have to find what you what we do? We?

211
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: And my other question is what did for game one

212
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: through game nine? Name our defensive starters? It was not

213
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: Gregory every every snap. It was not DeMarcus Lawrence, and

214
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't and it wasn't this kid Gallimore. It was

215
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: names we couldn't even pronounce. A kid named Oh so

216
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: what is his name? Yea? Yeah? Yeah? Who heard him?

217
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: Who heard bone? Hannah? Who heard them? But you know

218
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: what the coaches did. They got together, they built the scheme,

219
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: and they executed this scheme. That is what our offense.

220
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: The coaches, where's our money at? Where's our money at?

221
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Our money is on the offense. Don't don't don't tell

222
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: me you can't. Don't tell me you can't do it. Don't.

223
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear. That's not excuse, it's not acceptable.

224
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: We won't tell you that they can't do it. But

225
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: we do have to take a break and we'll come back.

248
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: into you talking this time of the year. What we

249
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: got four games? Four games? What is the mentality when

250
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: you played? What was the mentality of the team going

251
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: into this final stretch in the last four games. Was

252
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: there ever a season where you guys didn't quite have

253
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: it all together? Did you worry about getting it together?

254
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: Were there are certain things you were working on? And

255
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: then Mick I want you to follow up when he

256
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: does that, and is there any season that you remember

257
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: over the years that you compare? Can compare this season

258
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: two where one part of the team was clicking at

259
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, the second part wasn't. And

260
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: then what happened at the end of that season? Were

261
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: they able to tie? You remember the sound of the

262
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: season where we went up to Detroit and got defense,

263
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: got ran through. Yeah, that was that season where they see,

264
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't have the expectations that everybody has for his team.

265
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: I have the expectations is if you get seated right

266
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: and get that first week at home, then you have

267
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play the second week. And if you

268
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: play the second week, you've got to really rally because

269
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: the team you're playing, I know it's equal or better

270
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: than you. So you've got to really rally as a team.

271
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's a learning process or what these

272
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: guys have to start doing it now. It's making sure

273
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: they're going to extra film mold, making sure they're going

274
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: to extra taking care of my body mold. And they

275
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: have to they have to be about their business. They

276
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: have to be about their business. And and see this,

277
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: this is what it's hardcore for a lot of guys.

278
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: It ain't about your wife, your mama, your kids, it

279
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: ain't about your friends. It's about for four weeks preparing yourself.

280
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: And I had to learn this and ain't about being

281
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: in the club or doing extra things. It Charles Haley

282
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: took me through it. Randy White took me through it.

283
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: It's called dedication. All you gotta do is blockdown for

284
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: a month for something that something that few people can have,

285
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a playoff run. And this is

286
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: what these guys got to do, especially guy, and I'm

287
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: talking to guys like myself who were wild, who were

288
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: out there was wilding out man and doing this thing.

289
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: I had had to come back. I had to pull

290
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: that thing in for a month, because this is where

291
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: the great teams started making their moves. May you remember

292
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: a season be wild anymore? Or if the fansom hope

293
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: what he's talking about is ninety one? Okay, okay, the

294
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys were sitting there, and by the way, how's this forsymmetry?

295
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: During this stretch of the season, they were sitting there

296
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: at six and five, and they had to play three

297
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: consecutive road games. They lost at Houston in overtime, got

298
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: beat by maybe the Rams. Yeah, and then the third

299
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: road game was at Washington and Washington was undefeated, and

300
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: they went in there and won the game, upset them

301
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: twenty four twenty one, and Troy got knocked out early

302
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and Steve Burline came in and

303
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: finished it off and then they won. So then now

304
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: they're seven and five, and they won four straight to

305
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: finish eleven and five. They go into the playoffs and

306
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: everybody's like, yeah, well, this team hadn't won a playoff

307
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: games since nineteen eighty five. They go up to Chicago

308
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: and win, right, and it's like, oh my god, what's

309
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: going on, and then they're going to Detroit, and I

310
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: remember this so vividly. They got wiped out, like he said,

311
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: by Detroit Eric Kramer, of all people, Eric Kramer put

312
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: thirty some points on him, right, and I'm going there

313
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: is no way that's gonna happen again. I don't remember,

314
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: but he threw for three hundred yards and they got

315
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: beat again thirty something to ten. Yes, right, But they

316
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: had turned the season around at that point, and they

317
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: came into their own and they called A matter of fact,

318
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: I was just talking to rich Delrymble, the Cowboys PR director,

319
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: and we were talking about that ninety one season, and

320
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: I remember that on the way back, I had never

321
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: been on the charter flight before. It's a long story,

322
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: but I was on it, and they could have flown

323
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: home without any fuel. The place was going crazy because

324
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: they qualified for the playoffs for the first time since

325
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: eighty five. And on top of that, Jimmy and Jerry

326
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: were getting just beaten up about they don't know anything

327
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: about football, and all of a sudden they qualified theirselves

328
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: because now we're in the playoffs, right, We made the

329
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: playoffs as a wildcard team. They go on the road

330
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: and win and that turned this whole franchise around that year.

331
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: So again, you can pivot the last four games of

332
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: the season, I've seen it, But again, you gotta get

333
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: the offense going. The defense, hey, hang in there. It's okay.

334
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: If you win a game with the defense, that's no

335
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 1: problem whatsoever, as long as you win. And it's like

336
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: I told people last week when Wow, it was an

337
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: ugly win at the Saints, but it was a win,

338
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: right And I went and got my T shirt that

339
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: I've had since nineteen eighty three. And the White Sox

340
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: got into the playoffs for the first time since fifty nine.

341
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: Right fifty nine. I was like six years old when

342
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: they got in, and all of a sudden, eighty three

343
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: they're in. Doug Raider, the manager of the Texas Rangers

344
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: at the time, he didn't like the White Sox team, right,

345
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: he said, ah, they're winning ugly. Right, Well, they won

346
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: ninety nine games and won the division title. So I

347
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: got a T shirt that says winning ugly what the

348
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: White Sox logo in the middle of it. Like Nate

349
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: brought up expectations while ago Reggie Ate, Nate is good

350
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: with how many winning one two playoff games? Yeah, that's

351
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: your expectations because and out of that, Reggie explained. Reggie,

352
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: but I want to say something man, But go ahead

353
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: on Reggie. What are your expectations? What do you expect?

354
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: What would you be happy with this team doing? Issue.

355
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: The funny thing about expectations is I placed them in

356
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: a different in a different area than I think most

357
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: of you. Like Mickey was talking about, wins and losses

358
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: are super important. You get a win, don't apologize that

359
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: for that. But my expectation is more on the quality

360
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: of play than wins and losses. My expectations are now

361
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: raised to a point because we talked about bec coming

362
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: into the season where the expectation is, like, say, for

363
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: the defense, just be average. I've seen this team come

364
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: out and play incredible football, I like you did on

365
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: one oh five through the fan too, Like you have

366
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: a child and they're capable of as and then you

367
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: see them start making seas. That's what we're seeing from

368
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: this team at times, especially on offenses that no, no, no,

369
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: I've seen you be a pick your poison type offense.

370
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I've seen you be a team that has defenses on

371
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: their heels. That's now my expectation of them because I've

372
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: seen that from them. So when it comes to expectations,

373
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: I want them to play that type of football. And

374
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: then if they played that type of football, now we're

375
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: talking about a one game playoff type situation, or you know,

376
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: once you get some playoffs is a one game at

377
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: a time. I expect you to play that type of football.

378
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: If something crazy happens, I can live with that. If

379
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: you find a way to win ugly, I can live

380
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: with that. But what I won't be able to live

381
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: with is them playing poorly and then losing off of that,

382
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: because I've seen them be the type of team that

383
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: can go deep into the playoffs this season. I'm not

384
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: even talking about ninety one. It's funny that you were

385
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: talking about ninety one Nate and Mickey, because I was

386
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: born in ninety two. I didn't even have an opportunity

387
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: to see that, so I don't even have to hark

388
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: him back to them. I've seen it in September, in

389
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: October from this team. I want to see this now December, January,

390
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe February. Let's go this. This This is the issue.

391
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: Like I try to explain to people, was that that

392
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: eleven sacks season against Philly two was that that season?

393
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: It was I think it was the eleven sacks first

394
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: time you played him and this eleven sacks in one game. Yeah,

395
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: and we lost the same quarterback too by And this

396
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: is this is the funny thing I tell people. Then

397
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: the next time we played Philly and Coach Johnson told

398
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: us we need to win this game. We have to win.

399
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't care how we do it. And see the reason,

400
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm not panicking. And I don't know what kind of

401
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: moxie coach got the head coach got with his players,

402
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: but you gotta get You gotta win these games. You

403
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: not not for Arizona or not for the Ramp, for yourself,

404
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: and you gotta get better at winning these games. So

405
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: now that many coaches should be up in their office,

406
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: sleeping in the office trying to find a better way,

407
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: not more plays, but what plays work and putting it

408
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: together and giving your quarterback the package where he's comfortable.

409
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: And so now because he told coach though Berline how

410
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: to be the Philadelphia hit Troy for eighty five thousand times,

411
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: he told Berline, you ain't holding onto the ball. So

412
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: I think in the first half he was like one

413
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: for thirteen or one for sixteen and see, but we

414
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: didn't have at that time what people are considered star players.

415
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: But through hard work and dedication, these average guys became

416
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: star players. So when when I look at people that

417
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: say the officsive line, this, uh, this, this and this

418
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: the only problem we got, Fellas, if we can get

419
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: us a tight end that can set the edge, be

420
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: at a officsive tackle or anybody, but he can set

421
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: the edge, you'll see a different run game. So he's

422
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: exactly right. Jimmy told Burline when they went to Philadelphia

423
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: for that game with a chance to clinch the wildcard

424
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: birth Yes, he said, I don't care if you only

425
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: complete twenty percent of your passes. I don't want you

426
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over, and I do not want

427
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: you to take a sack because once they get one sack,

428
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: they get two, they get free and all the people

429
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: in the stadium go crazy. He said, so you just

430
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: throw the ball away. I don't care, And that's what

431
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: Burline did and they were able to win the Kevin

432
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: Martin's punt returned in the fourth quarter to win the game.

433
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: And it started. And what I'm trying to say is

434
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: it ain't got to be perfect, which you got to win,

435
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: and you got to keep yourself in position always to

436
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: win so your quarterback can have the opportunity to take

437
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: you over the top. And that is what I'm saying.

438
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: The most important thing right now is to find Dat's center.

439
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: You got to find his center. I don't care what

440
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: you do. And the most important thing right now on

441
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: this show is that we pay some bills and we

442

Speaker 1: it's actually Nigerian? Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, so

459
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: you was born in Nigerian born in Houston originally? Right?

460
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: Okay but close? Yeah, somewhat somewhat yeah, but yeah no,

461
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: definitely a Nigerian name. Cool. Well, Reggie, since Nate hadn't

462
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: let you talk very much tonight, what throw a topic

463
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: out there? What would you like to spin the wheel on.

464
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like we've been talking a lot

465
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: about it, but we've got Nate noon here. It feels

466
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: like it's right to talk about the offensive line, Like,

467
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: would you like to get into the nitty gritty of

468
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: what's happening there? Because you talked overall, but I mean,

469
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: what besides just like the switch in that consistency or

470
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: what is it the fantasy football nature of changing out

471
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: the lineman. That's that's been the change I think should

472
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: stop with this game here. Whoever your left guard is

473
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: allowed that person to be the left guard. Whoever your

474
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: right tackle is allowed him. Okay, now we have to

475
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: rally at the left cause Tyron is not there. So

476
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: who would you put there? Who that left tackle for Tyrant? Uh?

477
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: See me personally? Me and you talked earlier. You said

478
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: they wanted they feel more comfortable with still doing all

479
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: the extra heavy set. But the three games when it

480
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: would be Lyle the president the regular center, I would,

481
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: I would. I would let coach Phildman make the call

482
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: on the left guard because I don't know enough between

483
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: mcgover and will I let but whoever it is starting

484
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: this game need to start the rest of the season,

485
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: because I will go with U. I will go still right.

486
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: It's just you know, and I've seen this other kid

487
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: play the sinki. Yeah whatever, Okay, that kid, I've seen

488
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: him play and some plays maybe like okay, oh, it

489
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: ain't as bad as I thought. And then all of

490
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, I'll be like, Okay, but he's been fortunate

491
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: because them times when he ain't touching nobody, they've gotten

492
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: the ball out of the out of their hands quick.

493
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a whole game. I don't

494
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: is this normal? Like here, I think we're used to.

495
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: Here's your line at the beginning of the season. Unless

496
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt, that's pretty much your line throughout the

497
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: whole year. This year, it seems like they've been, you know,

498
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: picking and choosing and musical chairs. Is that normal throughout

499
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: the league? Does that happen a lot where you have

500
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: to be injured? You have to be injured right to

501
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: to have that type of deal. Uh? And that and

502
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: seeing I'm looking at teams that have those type of

503
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: deals and they're winning games. They're winning games because the

504
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: quarterback is supposed to be that guy that can can

505
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: can orchestrate the game. But I keep judging everybody off

506
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: of three of the four guys. And that's not fair.

507
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: That's not fair. But because you ain't Casey, you ain't

508
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Green Bay, you ain't Seattle, and you ain't Uh the Bucks,

509
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: well guess what and and you know what, and they're

510
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: still in the hunt. They are, They're still in the hunts.

511
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm I try to share this with

512
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: people in the Great Randy Galloway would always tell me

513
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: two things, even me a you know Randy Gallawey, you know,

514
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: tough guy, mean guy, but a righteous guy. He Nate,

515
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: did you watch the game it's all about the quarterback.

516
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: And for years and years and years, I'm like, Okay,

517
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: build your team. And I still believe that. You hear

518
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: me saying all the time, build your team. So when

519
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: you do get that man, he can do wonders. And

520
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: Dak is at a stage in his career, you know.

521
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: And I know he had the riffic injury a year ago.

522
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: I know he had the calf injury. I know he's

523
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: had some pressures, some pressure, specially to g games, to

524
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: go against some against Saints, the Saint against the AFC West.

525
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: I knew it was held during the AFC West that

526
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: run through all through that division, starting with Denver. Yeah. Yeah,

527
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: So now the only thing that I see that is different.

528
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's saying, two deep safeties, let's back up off the ball,

529
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: Let's make them be patient. Dak used to have that patience.

530
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: Get back to that patience, get rid of that ball.

531
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling if he ever centered himself, we gonna do

532
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: some things in the playoffs. We're gonna do something. Then

533
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: I fear nobody. Four weeks ago, I feared nobody. Now

534
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm sitting find myself, like the rest of these fans,

535
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: do we want to play Green Bay? Do we want

536
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: to play Tampa Bay? Oh? Man, we've been not running

537
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: into the Rams. They're not everybody. Everybody want the Cardinals. Okay,

538
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: becup of what Jack's well. Are you're gonna get them? Right? Are?

539
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: I mean? Are you got scared of the Cardinals. It

540
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: seems like one of the Cardinals big wheat wall. I

541
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: would be a weakness, is that I'd know that offensive

542
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: line and Michael Parsons could take care of that. I

543
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: was I would be more concerned with the Rams and

544
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford than the Cardinals and Kyler Murray. And that

545
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: may sound weird, but why is that? Because I think

546
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: he can be more erratic. He will throw some balls

547
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: up that they're fifty fifty balls and he'll take a

548
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: sack or two. Um, So in the playoffs you might

549
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: not get away with that stuff. Uh. We gotta remember,

550
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: see we talked about the offensive line. They made the changes.

551
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: You're right, they need to get back to continuity there. Uh.

552
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Connor Williams to me, the only reason they changed him

553
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: out was because he was getting called was a mark

554
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: man and so they knew what the referees were looking at. Right,

555
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: So that you get a lot of flailing as a

556
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: defensive player. Yeah, and so so they were so that

557
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: they took him out to save holding calls. But I

558
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: don't know that Connor McGovern played football better. He just

559
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: didn't get called for holding. Maybe he should have, right,

560
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: So I think if he returns there, if Steel can

561
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: hold down the fort till Tyran Smith gets back. Lele

562
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: Cowens is playing better on the right side, then I

563
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: think this offensive line can get back with some continuity

564
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: and they can be able to get back. And if

565
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: those teams want to play too deep, all right, we're

566
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball on you. Right. The thing is,

567
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: fellas people out there understand, not you guys, because y'all

568
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: gonna have y'all opinions, and that's what makes us who

569
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: we are. I'm telling you people out there that's want

570
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: to absorb some real information. When the playoffs come, the

571
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: defense is gonna dictate something and you, as a quarterback,

572
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: have to digest it. Everybody's beat up and the only

573
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: thing that gets you over it is film, study and grit.

574
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: Whoever quarterback plays the best in the playoffs will win.

575
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: We can sit up and assume each quarterback is this,

576
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: this and this, but only three of them we know.

577
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: That's cold blooded. There's only three of them that we

578
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: know that can stand up under the fire of a

579
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: playoff run. Other than that, it's just a wild cause

580
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: it's a crapshoot. See. And the other thing we forget

581
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: about when we talked about when things started falling apart,

582
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: who was missing both wide receivers? Right? You know, CDs

583
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: out for a game and a half, Amari's out for

584
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: two games, and now you're playing with your fourth fifth

585
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers out there, and Gallup had just returned, if

586
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: you remember, from an injury in the first game of

587
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: the season. I knew that one gonna work. So yeah,

588
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: it was tough, right. I knew, you know, Reggie when

589
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: I went. You know, like I tell people, when you're

590
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: sitting around, the worst thing I can is to sit

591
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: around at a table with people that think they know football.

592
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm serious, because history are to teach you something. Why

593
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: did we go get Amari Cooper? You need it, You

594
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 1: needed the next receiver, and you needed a nice receiver.

595
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: You needed a religion because we was going to do

596
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: a receiver by what committee? Is it ever worked with?

597
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: Daddak is not that type of quarterback. Thatak is not

598
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: that Hey, y'all, jump on my back. I'm fat enough

599
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: to hold all y'all. Dak ain't that guy. He ain't

600
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: that guy. Bro. He needs his weapons. And when you

601
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: get in and I'm many seen thirty two teams and

602
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven teams that need their weapons because ain't

603
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: before guys can do what I'm talking about. That's just

604
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: all gotten on the truth. Reggie, do you have confidence

605
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: in this team that they can find the rhythm on

606
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: offense now that they've got Dak's weapons back at wide receiver,

607
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to fit figure out what's going on on

608
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Do you think the offense can now

609
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: catch back up to the defense and write this thing

610
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: heading into the playoffs. I mean, it's they're capable of it,

611
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: because we've seen them do it. Like I mean, if

612
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: there's any you know, doubt about it, we've seen it

613
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: with our own eyes. They've got to find a way

614
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: to get back to that, right And I have a

615
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit of hesitance about that because we saw the

616
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: full compliment of wide receivers in this past game and

617
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: it didn't look the way that we wanted to look.

618
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: So you know they have that capability. Hopefully with senstability,

619
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: like you guys have talked about on the line, the

620
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: run game can look a little bit more thirty. Y'all.

621
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: If we can tote the ball thirty five times in

622
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: a game and get one hundred and twenty five yards,

623
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna win the game. Any game or this week,

624
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: next week. If we can get thirty five carriers one

625
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards and no fumbles, we're gonna

626
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: win the game. We're gonna win the game. And it

627
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: ain't about our offense catching up to our defense. It's

628
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: about our offense finding their center. When you are at

629
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: peace with who you are in the execution, it don't work.

630
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: It don't work. You don't have to worry about catching up.

631
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: You just play your game. You don't have to catch up.

632
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: See in Dallas, we are such a big market and

633
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: such a powerhouse promotion team. To it's always one or

634
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: the other. It's not one of the other. Our defense

635
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: is mad. My players when I played, are mad at me.

636
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: All defensive players are mad at us because they we

637
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: were a top five defense. I asked many of the

638
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: people in the crowd, Hey, you know, our defense is

639
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: ranked when we had that great soap for called great offense.

640
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: Oh no, about ten, twelve, maybe one year y'all was five. No,

641
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: for four or five years, a top five defense in

642
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: every category. But who was talked about. It ain't about

643
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: catching up. It's about just doing your job. They had

644
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: the number one defense in nineteen ninety two when they

645
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 1: went and won that Super Bowl. Yes, and not one

646
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: of them made a Pro Bowl. Wow, not one of them.

647
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: That's the first time I had to see Jimmy do

648
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: some some some fast talking. He starts smacking his last

649
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: he had to do because after that Pro Bowl vote

650
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: came out of ninety two and we were all in

651
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: the next meeting. You talk about some defensive players hot, upset,

652
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: and we had to get prepared for again. Jimmy came

653
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: in and laid down some good stuff to die out

654
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: of this and die out of that and appease those guys. Man,

655
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: That's first I've ever seen him do that. You have

656
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: to pay for it in practice because they were all

657
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: jacked up. Na No, because like I told him, I said,

658
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: now y'all know you carried the fat guy. Yeah, Hey, Nate,

659
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna take our last break

660
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: and we come back. Think about this in the break.

661
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: I want a good Since the Pro Bowl voting is

662
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: coming to an end, at least the fan portions. We

663
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: got quite a few guys that maybe should make the

664
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl team. We'll talk about who y'all I think

665
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: should be on the Pro Bowl. Think about a good PG.

666
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: Thirteen story that you can tell of all your six

667
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: trips to the Pro Bowl, that you can tell. This

00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,880

672
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,959

Speaker 1: we've left anybody and the partner ringer, I can't believe

693

Speaker 1: with him is no one knows who he was coming

702
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: in here. You know, you can't ignore Michael Parsons right, right,

703
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: you can't ignore what Diggs is doing. Right, And then

704
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: you gotta have a season like this and then do

705
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: it again next year, and then you'll get the votes

706
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: because you know, part of the votes are fans, but

707
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the votes are the coaches and the players,

708
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of the players, I don't know how

709
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: acknowledgeable they are. What other teams are doing that they

710
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: don't play against, right, So you gotta make a name

711
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: for yourself and then you get into Pro Bowl. Now, Nay,

712
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: one thing I want to ask, I know you, I mean,

00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: you guys are spot on with the guys that I

714
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,360

715
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm interested in you guys's opinion on because I know

716
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: defensive end or edge rushing is a tough spot and

717
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: I know he's missing games. Randy Gregory was putting up

718
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: a pretty good season. Is that a guy that you

719
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: were putting that consideration? He's unfortunately he doesn't have I

720
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: don't know if he has enough games to make up

721
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: for what he before he lost, right because the voting

Speaker 1: out there on jim Jimmy didn't care. He's like, man,

822
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat this team. What do you think Reggie's

823
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: anything scare you about the Giants? Nothing whatsoever, Nothing whatsoever whatsoever.

824
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: Nate laid out a great reason why the defense doesn't

825
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: The offense has been sputtering all season. And that was

826
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: with the quarterback was Daniel Jones, who was is he's

827
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 1: not playing correct? Nigga? He got Glennon and then forman yeah,

828
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: I mean Glennon starting yes, yeah, and then the other

829
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: kid may get some run. Right, they're talking about giving

830
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: him some stamps. I mean we're talking for I'm second

831
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: and third quarterbacks against a team that's been playing very well.

832
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: On defense of these Cowboys, there's nothing over there with

833
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: the Giants that scares me. So Nate, this may be

834
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: the pharmacy. Chuck Muncie, Nah, man, they won the Super Bowl. Man,

835
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: come on, this is great running a man who won

836

Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. M oh, I thought you said the

Speaker 1: got a bet a minute and a a half cowboys need

844
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: to do? And what's your score prediction? For entirely different teams?

Speaker 1: we go. Thank you, my goodness, thank you man executing

848
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,799

849
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: back to hitting these slants, these screens, they're going to

850
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: tear that team up without question. What's your score? I

851
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: think that this could be a get right game from them.

852
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: Thirty one fourteens, Mick thirty five seventeen cowboy Boys one point, baby.

853
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: Just play just one play penalty free and don't turn

854
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: the ball over and win the game. That's it. Just

855
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: a penalty free and don't turn the ball over. Because

856
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: they've got more guys missing other than Daniel Jones, two

857
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: of their top running wide receivers, Darius Tony's out, John

858
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: Ross is out, Andrew Thomas, their best offensive tackle, didn't

859
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: practice today. So they've got other guys, two cornerbacks out. Uh,

860
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: they've got COVID issues like the rest of the league.
