Speaker 1: packing this stuff up and heading home on Friday. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: we got a very special guest on set with us
Speaker 1: for about the next fifteen to twenty min Nate, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let you do the intro because you've been high
Speaker 1: on this guy, this Jars Tapper man. But let me
Speaker 1: get an Oklahoma state. Oklahoma, No, that's what you better
Speaker 1: do it. Man. All I know is he's here, and
Speaker 1: I tell you this right here. A lot of people
Speaker 1: to know about this cat because they changed defensive systems
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma and he went from a penetrator to getting
Speaker 1: off the rock to have to catch people paying the
Speaker 1: two cap. That's when you have to catch folks. Now,
Speaker 1: he's a penetrator and that's what he does best. And
Speaker 1: that's why he's here with the Dallas Cobley we stole
Speaker 1: him from the draft. I do know that. I do
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know about the college, but I
Speaker 1: do know about the program. Yeah, so, Nate, So what
Speaker 1: we what we typically do is we ask a couple Nate,
Speaker 1: So now I don't let you ask the first question.
Speaker 1: I feel like tapping on. What we what we normally do, Kid,
Speaker 1: you good to do something because this is gonna drive
Speaker 1: me absolutely nuts. I can't hear anything out of this. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So what we do is we typically ask
Speaker 1: a couple of football questions and then we want to
Speaker 1: get to know you as a person. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: let Nate go in hard. Nate, what have you been
Speaker 1: seeing on tape? That's that's got you on tap this year.
Speaker 1: See last year I noticed about Charles Tapper. That's a
Speaker 1: lot better. Can't think it was that he got off
Speaker 1: the rock. That's that was the first thing that I
Speaker 1: noticed about you, That you got off the rock, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, your back go out. This
Speaker 1: year here I noticed we drafted the young guy Charles,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about this guy DeMarcus coming back. We
Speaker 1: talked about that guy. You were lost in the shuffle
Speaker 1: with everybody else. I'm like, I want to see what
Speaker 1: tapp going to. Brother. You started at OTA's rookie menicamp
Speaker 1: again this year bringing that speed, Man, Where do you
Speaker 1: get that first step quickness that you have? Man? Man,
Speaker 1: I would just say, my mom, My mom, she's still
Speaker 1: with that hard work attitude. And me was like, man,
Speaker 1: when whenever you step want to feel whatever you're doing
Speaker 1: in life, you gotta go full speed, one hundred moss
Speaker 1: paw adding and that hardwork. I remember watching my mom
Speaker 1: go to work, waking up at five o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: making sure I'm dressed for school, making sure she's dressed,
Speaker 1: making sure that we had food on the table, And
Speaker 1: it was like, if she can do if she can
Speaker 1: work that hard making shark, I can do it in
Speaker 1: my life. I'm not come about to football and doing
Speaker 1: something I love. It makes it kind of easy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now here we set today, we worried about who's
Speaker 1: gonna be the right defensive end at child And I
Speaker 1: may be putting a little undue pressure on you but
Speaker 1: when I saw versus this last game, first, the first
Speaker 1: game versus this game. Here was even your run which
Speaker 1: you're getting off to the ball so quick. Even your
Speaker 1: run defense it seemed to being tracked. It's like you
Speaker 1: defended the run, you set the corner a couple of times.
Speaker 1: I mean, and I know, God, let him do the
Speaker 1: introductions and all that, but I want to get straight
Speaker 1: to the thing. Man. When when you came and saw
Speaker 1: how we ran this defense and how Marinella was gonna
Speaker 1: do things, how did that fit you your talent? Man? Man,
Speaker 1: I was happy. I was like, I can find you
Speaker 1: be an athlete, Like, oh you like you said, we went.
Speaker 1: I went from a two gap scheme to a true
Speaker 1: one gap scheme, And it was like it was almost
Speaker 1: unreal that I only got to worry about one gap
Speaker 1: the whole game, Like you ain't gotta worry about trying
Speaker 1: to come off helping the linebackers make another plan another gap.
Speaker 1: Was like, just worry about your sea gap, get up
Speaker 1: field and be disruptive in It took a little bit
Speaker 1: of time because it was like I was reacting slow
Speaker 1: because you know the four technique you move off the tackle, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the tackle is pretty much your dictating every every movement
Speaker 1: that you do at the four time the four hour,
Speaker 1: and now it was like you become the dictator throw
Speaker 1: your fastball at them. So it's like, man, the more
Speaker 1: speed you can thought the guy, the more moved you
Speaker 1: can get to dude with the guy. All Right, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn you over to these guys. Let him
Speaker 1: into you are man, I just I want to get
Speaker 1: into that right away. So I'm gonna turn you over
Speaker 1: to these two exprests. Hey, you never need to apologize
Speaker 1: on the ever for anything, because we gonna screw some
Speaker 1: stuff up, right. Luckily we haven't done that yet. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So may NELLI talk about just talk about Marinelli. He's
Speaker 1: one of the most fascinating people that I've ever been
Speaker 1: around because it's demeanor. He's just like he's quiet, and
Speaker 1: then when he gets out there with you guys, it's
Speaker 1: like a totally different person. Man. He just cuts losing
Speaker 1: and he's colorful, got some colorful language. He's like one
Speaker 1: of the greatest teacher I ever had. Though It's like
Speaker 1: when he was little, like coming up in inner city,
Speaker 1: like people are always going to yell at you, and
Speaker 1: you gotta learn like, you can't take the yelling there's
Speaker 1: something negative. You gotta take what they're saying. You gotta
Speaker 1: take the positive from it, and you gotta make your
Speaker 1: game better because if you just listen to the yelling,
Speaker 1: it's gonna get you down and you're gonna start thinking
Speaker 1: negative about yourself. You're not gonna're gonna lose that confidence.
Speaker 1: So I remember last year, I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: kind of lost confidence because like he's just staying on
Speaker 1: and standing on me. And then I started talking to
Speaker 1: the veteran guys like Tie and d Law and all
Speaker 1: those guys and teammack at the time, he was like,
Speaker 1: he's on you because he liked you. Like the moment
Speaker 1: that he stopped talking to you, that's when you should
Speaker 1: are right now. If he's on you, if he's on
Speaker 1: you and custing you all like that, that mean he
Speaker 1: likes he sees something needs And when we get to
Speaker 1: the film room, he would break it down like tap,
Speaker 1: you're not doing this. You're not coming off the ball
Speaker 1: hall enough, you're not running to the ball, you're not
Speaker 1: being aggressive as you need to be. And it's like, man,
Speaker 1: he just he taught me so much over these last
Speaker 1: two years and it's more, it's bigger than football things
Speaker 1: he taught me. Taught me like the same as you're
Speaker 1: working hard in this field, like work hard in your
Speaker 1: family life. Like I just had a daughter. He was like,
Speaker 1: all right, treat your dog like that. You're working so
Speaker 1: hard in this football field. You need to work hard
Speaker 1: to take care of your daughter and let football be
Speaker 1: her money. Like don't let this because you can always
Speaker 1: find the next thing to do. Like she's young and
Speaker 1: you don't know what her feature is going to entail,
Speaker 1: so you gotta always be worried about your daughter. And
Speaker 1: he's just taught me so many men skills that I
Speaker 1: didn't learn because I lost my father so young. How
Speaker 1: much has your approach changed since you've had had your daughter?
Speaker 1: It changed a lot. I mean it's like like they say,
Speaker 1: like you start the thing last, like you you put
Speaker 1: yourself left, Like now you're taking kids, three people, you
Speaker 1: got your right now. My baby went imrried the time
Speaker 1: we got my baby, mother and my daughter. So it's
Speaker 1: like those two come for anything, like I gotta make
Speaker 1: sure they're straight, got to make sure they can eat,
Speaker 1: have her pampas, making sure that you know, we ain't
Speaker 1: gonna call the baby mama bertrand yeah, now don't she
Speaker 1: don't take a fist. It's just like we haven't took
Speaker 1: that next step yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's definitely real.
Speaker 1: And then I got my two little brothers. My mom
Speaker 1: been in the hospital, so if her been in the hospital,
Speaker 1: I just it's kind of like I had to take
Speaker 1: that role of now you're the father to the father
Speaker 1: figure to your cheer brother. So it's like, Okay, now
Speaker 1: I got two more kids. So I'm slowly moving him
Speaker 1: to Frisco because you know, Baltimore and Frisco. Frisco, you
Speaker 1: can't get wrong with the school system. Man, Like, that's
Speaker 1: the best school system I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Like my little brother, he came from Baltimore, he's getting
Speaker 1: straight fs and he came to Frisco. Now he's getting
Speaker 1: ais and bees and it's like he's like he loves school.
Speaker 1: He like, man, I can't wait to talk to the the school.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that. Yeah, man, I could be in Frisco. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so talk a little bit. So you talked about growing
Speaker 1: up in the inner city and losing your father at
Speaker 1: a young age. Kind of talk to talk us through
Speaker 1: When did you start playing football? Where'd you go to
Speaker 1: high school? You grew up in Maryland, right, who recruited
Speaker 1: you out of high school? And then college and then
Speaker 1: kind of moving into the Cowboys kind of give us
Speaker 1: that whole little scope of a life there. Mins is
Speaker 1: a little crazy. So I didn't start playing football. To
Speaker 1: my sophomore year high school, my mom said, you give
Speaker 1: you get a job or play football football. The crazy
Speaker 1: thing is I picked a job and she was like, no,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get no job. You're gonna play football.
Speaker 1: Because I was a huge from seven to twenty one
Speaker 1: in the city of Baltimore. All you want to do
Speaker 1: is play basketball. Basketball is the thing that you eat
Speaker 1: sleep when you live and you love it because it's
Speaker 1: like it is just a documentary just came out to
Speaker 1: dumbball boys, and like it pretty much tells you why
Speaker 1: our kids, why we love like we love basketball so
Speaker 1: much in Baltimore. So seven twenty when I played basketball
Speaker 1: and Tim Gray, yeah, I tried off for the team
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm just trying to get cut.
Speaker 1: Like they put me in receiver. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I ran they threw a flower route. I ran the
Speaker 1: slant and they threw me a slant. I dropped the
Speaker 1: ball on purpose. They put me in D line. I
Speaker 1: was just getting paying, like, hey, I'm gonna get cut
Speaker 1: so I can go ahead and get back to basketball season.
Speaker 1: But my mom ended up putting. She told the coaches
Speaker 1: that I was trying to do so they made me
Speaker 1: sit the bench that whole year, and it was like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't like sitting the bench, like I'm gonna work
Speaker 1: hard at this thing now the team trying to succeed
Speaker 1: at So I read the bench the whole year. And
Speaker 1: then my grandmother passed away from breast can to that
Speaker 1: day year and it was like, okay, this is even
Speaker 1: more motivation. I want to be good at this sport.
Speaker 1: And then my junior year, like the end of my
Speaker 1: Songoma year. Going to my junior I mat a guy
Speaker 1: named Corey Robinson. He said, bro, you can even drive
Speaker 1: a Hondo Lamborghini just like that. I said, what do
Speaker 1: you mean Hondo Lamborghini. He said, you can drive a
Speaker 1: Honda or Lamborghini. I was like, I want to drive
Speaker 1: a Lamborghini. He said, okay, if you buy in a
Speaker 1: football and you let me train you and two cheat
Speaker 1: a little bit of techniques and you accept this invite
Speaker 1: to the Allmy All American Combine. In the next fifteen
Speaker 1: to twenty years, you could be driving to Lamborghini. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, no way in the world. But I brought
Speaker 1: into brought in me and him. We started working out
Speaker 1: at the school called Calcaholl in Baltimore City. I mean
Speaker 1: it's a Catholic school, but I didn't go to the school.
Speaker 1: But it's like it was seven players of Calvall who
Speaker 1: had invite to the Allmyle American combin and off the
Speaker 1: shrimp for those guys they gave me. When he was like,
Speaker 1: I got a six four guys, super freak, can run
Speaker 1: four five, all this good stuff. He was like, that's unreal.
Speaker 1: So I went down there and did all those things,
Speaker 1: and two weeks after then I had a four rode
Speaker 1: off of the Oklahoma never had never played the snap
Speaker 1: of football. Wow. Yeah, I especially come from Bottomore where
Speaker 1: it's like you don't see too many football So like
Speaker 1: our biggest football star was Table Naston. He was a receiver,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's my role model. Was like, my
Speaker 1: role model is a receiver. So it's like now it's changed,
Speaker 1: but it's like my role model because of what he
Speaker 1: did and how he embraced the challenge and he opened
Speaker 1: up he opened the gateway fus bottomore kids to play football.
Speaker 1: It was like, that's my role model right there. That's
Speaker 1: why I look up to And then I got to Oklahoma. Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: it was the best four years of my life because
Speaker 1: it was like I finally learned the game of football.
Speaker 1: You learned that football isn't like basketball where it's this, this, this,
Speaker 1: it's a strategic playing in the game, Like it's so
Speaker 1: much that goes into it, Like people don't understand how
Speaker 1: much defense controls offense offer controls defense, and how much
Speaker 1: special teams, Like the special teams is such a key,
Speaker 1: key aspect of the game that once I started to realize,
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I really liked this one because it's
Speaker 1: so much learned that goes into it, like being somebody
Speaker 1: outside looking at you, like, man, it's just a bunch
Speaker 1: of crazy house I did playing football. No, like really
Speaker 1: dive into the spool and learning. He's like, it's so
Speaker 1: much to learn. And when I first got to old you,
Speaker 1: we were playing the four three, the same defense playing now,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I was the I was the Russian.
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I'm gonna love this. I love
Speaker 1: russing the quarterback. This is fun. Just run man. And
Speaker 1: then that next year Brevenders had just got fired and
Speaker 1: Mike Steeps had came in and Mike steps he's he's
Speaker 1: okay front guy. So we started moving to okay front
Speaker 1: and it was like between me and Eric striking to
Speaker 1: play the jat and he was like, man, tap you
Speaker 1: six two, you big, you can move, so let's slide
Speaker 1: you in the four technique and see what you can do.
Speaker 1: And I'm like I just brought into him, like, man,
Speaker 1: whatever whatever it takes to make the team win. I'm
Speaker 1: a boy in the door. So I brought into the
Speaker 1: fore technique and it took a little bit of time
Speaker 1: for me to adjust to it. And at that time
Speaker 1: I was two sixty five taking on playing the four
Speaker 1: technique and it was like he like, tap, just get
Speaker 1: off the ball and make plays happen. And that was
Speaker 1: my sophomore year. I was playing my best year. It
Speaker 1: was like I was at the four technique just getting
Speaker 1: on the ball and making plays happening. I didn't need
Speaker 1: the technique of the four technique get So then went
Speaker 1: to my June year and I really learned the technique
Speaker 1: and the four techn dreymutgommery set down that whole all
Speaker 1: season and we just learned the four technique. He tapped,
Speaker 1: this is the steps you need to take, you need
Speaker 1: to be about partly two seventy five to two eighty.
Speaker 1: I got to two ninety, so I was two ninety.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sitting styling him. They wasn't moving. So that
Speaker 1: was probably my best technique year, but it was somebody
Speaker 1: get something, a little baby girl, somebody, hey, how are
Speaker 1: you through? Okay? Yeah, somebody crashed the set all right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So my Jaine year, it was probably like my best
Speaker 1: technique year when it came to the four technique, and
Speaker 1: it was like my least production year, but like my
Speaker 1: technique grades every game, I was great now of like
Speaker 1: nineties and hundred, I'm like, man, that's I'm playing the
Speaker 1: technique perfect. I'm not making plays. So that Joine year
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a bus season for me.
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don't know if I really
Speaker 1: liked the four technique no more then Coach jreymcgommery, the
Speaker 1: guy who taught me everything about the sport he got.
Speaker 1: He ended up going to Green Bay. Man when he
Speaker 1: when they when it happened, I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: just went to like a locker room. Now. Just Crocks
Speaker 1: was like, man, this is the guy who taught me football.
Speaker 1: He was like, man, when you get to the league,
Speaker 1: you probably won't play four technique. The more you're gonna
Speaker 1: play the five technique, So don't really buy into the technique.
Speaker 1: But it's like, man, I want to win. I just
Speaker 1: want to win a ring, right man, Really, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to win a ring. So he had laugh. And then
Speaker 1: we got a guy name coach darn Reynolds. Coachal Rendors
Speaker 1: came in. It was like exact and he was like
Speaker 1: the exact same coaches Montgomery. But he was like, tap,
Speaker 1: I don't want you at two ninety. I want you
Speaker 1: to be at two seventy five and let's get off
Speaker 1: the rock and just let you play. So he was
Speaker 1: like at this time, I was a senior year I
Speaker 1: had my confidence was up. It was like I can't
Speaker 1: do I can't really make too any mistakes. So it
Speaker 1: was like I was trying anything spin moves, hit the
Speaker 1: four technique and it was like the cam once you
Speaker 1: get your confidence back up there, you just try little things.
Speaker 1: And my senior year, I started off slow. The first
Speaker 1: four games, I ain't a sack. Then it was like
Speaker 1: as those first four games, I gotta sack every game
Speaker 1: the four technique and it was like just brought in well.
Speaker 1: End up going to the final four and that was
Speaker 1: like that was the greatest year. That was a great
Speaker 1: year for us. My senior year to leave with a
Speaker 1: big twelve championship, making to the final four at the
Speaker 1: four technique, and man, it was a blessing. That was
Speaker 1: How was your social life going from an inner city
Speaker 1: kid in Maryland to all of a sudden you're in Norman, Oklahoma. Man,
Speaker 1: was that a little bit to get the hardest transition
Speaker 1: right there. I remember the plane ride. I had the dreads,
Speaker 1: I had them both braided back. I had my cut
Speaker 1: off because there pretty like we like to be stylish
Speaker 1: and dress up really nice. Though. I get a plane,
Speaker 1: got on nice clothes. I'm like, man, I hope these
Speaker 1: guys cool when the can dress So I get off
Speaker 1: walking in like, man, he's some country dudes, like big
Speaker 1: shirt stag. First time I seen country booths. I heard
Speaker 1: my first country song, I'm like, I need to go
Speaker 1: back home. I'm not I don't like this, and she's like, no,
Speaker 1: when you start something, you got to finish it. I
Speaker 1: don't care. It was like many time of like, man,
Speaker 1: I tried to save up about my little weekend checks
Speaker 1: and fly back home. She told the coaches so quick,
Speaker 1: and he tried to fly back home. Don't let him
Speaker 1: go home, Like are you gonna do I can't come
Speaker 1: home to see you. Nope, you don't need to see
Speaker 1: me hook up. So like the first two years was
Speaker 1: it was a main transition, but it was it was
Speaker 1: it was transition for the better of me. I learned
Speaker 1: how to communicate with people. I learned how to I
Speaker 1: learned that you don't like people are not everybody's out
Speaker 1: here trying to do me wrong. Because you sit at
Speaker 1: Baltimore that you gotta think, like, man, this person is
Speaker 1: trying to do me wrong because that's like everybody got
Speaker 1: to eat and it's not a lot of opportunities out
Speaker 1: there in Baltimore. So when I got to Oklahoma, it's
Speaker 1: like there's so many opportunities and people are really trying
Speaker 1: to help you for the greater good. And it was
Speaker 1: like it was almost unreal, and that's something charm like
Speaker 1: people just saying, how is you walking down there? Why
Speaker 1: is everybody being so nice? I'm like, but it was
Speaker 1: a great transition for me, and I try to get
Speaker 1: like some of my family members to come down there
Speaker 1: and see this to try to transform, but it took
Speaker 1: me two years. So it's like sometimes when they come
Speaker 1: down and they they're not coming for college and stuff,
Speaker 1: so it's like I gotta sit there, like, man, chill out,
Speaker 1: just just just sit in the house and just shut
Speaker 1: up and listen to me. Because it took me two
Speaker 1: years to transition. This is gonna probably take you full
Speaker 1: because you're not going to college and you're not gonna
Speaker 1: have a league way that I had, and people are
Speaker 1: not gonna give you the same respect that they gave me. Yes, wow,
Speaker 1: your mom sounds like a powerful woman. Oh yeah, she's
Speaker 1: the greatest woman, man. I mean everything in life, I
Speaker 1: just give it back to her because it's like my
Speaker 1: two little brothers they're both adopted, and it was like
Speaker 1: she didn't have to do that. I got two older
Speaker 1: brothers that she adopted when she was like fifteen years old,
Speaker 1: and she was she was like I just always wanted
Speaker 1: to take kids, people and help people, because she was like,
Speaker 1: come from bating. It's not too many people trying to
Speaker 1: do that. So like like right now she's working to
Speaker 1: alternative school with the worst kids in Baltimore, and like
Speaker 1: when I uh, she called me Monday, She's like, man,
Speaker 1: dived to come to kids in school starving. So I
Speaker 1: was like, man, I can buy some pizza. So I called.
Speaker 1: We called like a hundred bucks of pizza and we
Speaker 1: gave it to him, and I'm kids, man, it just
Speaker 1: changed some of their life and it was like, man,
Speaker 1: it's somebody that actually kid about us, that played for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. And some of those kids actually they
Speaker 1: started going back to their own schools. And she told
Speaker 1: me like some of them getting aids and trying to
Speaker 1: attend college now, and it was like those little things
Speaker 1: right there, it really helped those kids. And she's like this,
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm trying to tell you this for years,
Speaker 1: and she was like now that she has can't, She's like,
Speaker 1: it's your time now, it's your time to help the
Speaker 1: den and give back. Like a hot day. Wow, you
Speaker 1: got bro, you got yourself and a couple of brothers
Speaker 1: couple older brothers, got two younger brothers, Sean and Jordan.
Speaker 1: Sean just turned fifteen, Jordan's thirteen, so they're trying to
Speaker 1: deal with rap career night. Now, it's funny. Your mom's
Speaker 1: got to be loving that little granddaughter. Then she loves she.
Speaker 1: We trying to get Ah in and out of my mom.
Speaker 1: She's so strong, she's like she's the black She was
Speaker 1: my father figure and my mother figure. So the tough love,
Speaker 1: Like she don't like to tell me things because she's like,
Speaker 1: you don't need to worry about me. You need to
Speaker 1: worry about what she's doing in this field. But it's like, oh, yea,
Speaker 1: let me, you gotta you gotta let me. Let me
Speaker 1: be the male figure in your life. Well, we gotta
Speaker 1: find you, Like one day I wanted to find love

Speaker 1: just need love. And she's just like I can't give
Speaker 1: her that love that she might need sometimes and one
Speaker 1: day hopefully, like I heard Jay's in the song Smile

Speaker 1: me her life. Like from seven to twenty one, we
Speaker 1: went to AU basketball. People know about AU basketball. It's
Speaker 1: all year round, non stop basketball games. And from AU basketball,
Speaker 1: we will go to like the little Project basketball leagues.
Speaker 1: From Project Basketball leagues, we're going to the inner city leagues.
Speaker 1: And if we NCY leagues were going out the DC
Speaker 1: to play basketball. I remember one like one year, oh
Speaker 1: thirteen year old, eighth grade year and my little brother
Speaker 1: had um what it's called the thomb. He had cancer
Speaker 1: something I forgot the name of the cancer. She was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: since he got cancer, I'm gonna stay in hospital every day.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna need you to com meet back and
Speaker 1: forth because your basketball chreers more like, we can't we
Speaker 1: can't forget about that because you're gonna be that one
Speaker 1: that gets us out of this situation. Wow. And like
Speaker 1: she's really like I sweared from seven to twenty one.
Speaker 1: She didn't have friends, she didn't go out, she didn't
Speaker 1: do nothing but take me the basketball games to school. Yes,
Speaker 1: if she can make that commitment, it's I gotta make this.
Speaker 1: It's only right, you know. And and I talked to
Speaker 1: a lot of single parents, and they always going at
Speaker 1: the other parents, you know, whether it's a mother father.
Speaker 1: Out of that, you need to talk. And I asked,
Speaker 1: I say, how how dedicated are you? And see this
Speaker 1: is what man, we need to hold onto this film
Speaker 1: in here because I'm gonna get this tape, but chill
Speaker 1: for mention cousin another parent coming to me and say
Speaker 1: that out of this, I'm saying, you know, what. Let
Speaker 1: me show you what if you dedicate yourself to the calls,
Speaker 1: this is what it should turn out to be close
Speaker 1: to it. Not the NFL, but just life itself something
Speaker 1: because it's other mothers like your mother that's dedicated and
Speaker 1: their kids ain't fresh and athletes, but they are successful. Man.
Speaker 1: And see you you just living that success. She could
Speaker 1: have did the same thing. If you was an IBM guy,
Speaker 1: you'd have been the same guy. Yeah. Success. And it's
Speaker 1: so cool to hear. Like a lot of people play
Speaker 1: sports and try to get to another level for selfish reasons,
Speaker 1: for the money, the cars, you know, the beautiful women.
Speaker 1: You're trying to do it for your mom, your brothers,
Speaker 1: your little girl. And that's what that's what dropped. You
Speaker 1: want to know why he gets off the ball so fast,
Speaker 1: that's in his mind. Man. He still come up out
Speaker 1: of them. Man, Man, you gotta keep creating pipelines like

Speaker 1: of us. And then I got sorry Jones, we got me,
Speaker 1: We got um Kendall, Fuller, cow fully got the whole
Speaker 1: full of brother. That was a bunch of bottomore bottomore
Speaker 1: guys in NFL. So now we gotta give back. We
Speaker 1: gotta give them more bottomore guys here or somewhere. They
Speaker 1: ain't gotta be NFL. They could become a great teacher,
Speaker 1: great right, a great rapper, great anything, great man, just
Speaker 1: to create the opportunity for yourself. Awesome. Man. We know
Speaker 1: you gotta go get taped up. You're gonna get to

Speaker 1: that snapping over the quarterbacks head, he thought he thought
Speaker 1: you had a touchdown, but the guy held you. Man,
Speaker 1: it's no excuse for that. I gotta get that. That's
Speaker 1: my fault. I gotta get off that block and get
Speaker 1: to that ball. I got cutted out of that plane.
Speaker 1: But I'm happy because me out, because man, he was right.
Speaker 1: My get off was late. I was playing to I
Speaker 1: played high that whole entire game, like my pad level
Speaker 1: was terrible to that game. That's what I've been practice,
Speaker 1: and then we've been working on my stance. My stance
Speaker 1: has to get better so when I get off the
Speaker 1: ball it's a instead of a creeping out a little bit.

Speaker 1: bother me. And speaking of family, man, wow, shout out
Speaker 1: to all the moms. Man, Yeah, I'd like to interview
Speaker 1: his mom sometimes. Oh that would be great. Hey, there's
Speaker 1: as a Star magazine article here. And I'm serious about that.
Speaker 1: I have so many moms and so many dads coming
Speaker 1: to me and say how much you talk to my
Speaker 1: kid or I want you to you know, the dad
Speaker 1: ain't doing this or the mom ain't doing that. And
Speaker 1: my question to all parents, because when they sit down
Speaker 1: and tell me the story, then I stopped and I say, well,
Speaker 1: how much time are you the one that's with them
Speaker 1: dedicating to your kids and then they go to giving
Speaker 1: me all these stories. Well I got, I got, I got,
Speaker 1: and see this here I'm saying, I want to hold
Speaker 1: on to this. I'm sure the tapper hold on to
Speaker 1: something sitting down, ma'am. Watch this here and see what
Speaker 1: because it ain't who ain't there, it's who's there. And
Speaker 1: you've heard Jason Garrett say, I can't coach you ain't
Speaker 1: in practice, but I can coach who it is in practice.
Speaker 1: And that's what life is all about. You know, we
Speaker 1: we as much as we won't occurred here last week
Speaker 1: we had. I had the bat with you. You know,
Speaker 1: he wasn't here. You know, I see, I see you
Speaker 1: like to see how they slapped the crap out of
Speaker 1: me yesterday? Man, we got We got to meet Jeff
Speaker 1: Swain's parents yesterday. Yes great, you know, And it ain't
Speaker 1: often you meet people that just carrying people, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: of identity, they're here to see their son and spend time,
Speaker 1: but just people in general that they they are carrying people.
Speaker 1: And that because you normally meet people who are about themselves.
Speaker 1: And then when I meet people that care about people,
Speaker 1: that gets to me. Man, that that that you know,
Speaker 1: that's why I brought them in a tent. You know
Speaker 1: they care. That's a difference, man, it's a difference. What
Speaker 1: was that like for you? Playing for your parents and
Speaker 1: for your mom and all that. But my thing is
Speaker 1: my mom and dad or my support. But I was
Speaker 1: I've been always fortunate both mom. Dad grew up with
Speaker 1: a good household, good side of the household. Uh. Mom
Speaker 1: was always supported of sports. My dad wanted you to work,
Speaker 1: get a job. See Tad would have Dad would have
Speaker 1: had to working. You see what I'm saying, yo, So uh,
Speaker 1: the same rules. And the guy we had the other day,
Speaker 1: I got tapped. We had and who had the day
Speaker 1: before Exavier? You heard how his parents. I can identify,
Speaker 1: even though I got off track later in my life.
Speaker 1: I can identify with parents who have rules and regulations.
Speaker 1: I can identify with those people. Man, I can't identify
Speaker 1: with kids that has no no rules, no regulations. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lack of discipline, and it's gonna spill. It's
Speaker 1: gonna spill over on to you soon or later. I
Speaker 1: think you see that with these guys out here. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons they made it was their upbringing. Ye
Speaker 1: parents like someone that believed in them. And invested time
Speaker 1: and Exavier, man, I mean just that he said yesterday.
Speaker 1: Uh a man married his mother. He was four years old,
Speaker 1: his dad gone, and he carried Exavier with rules and understandings. Man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna love you and we're gonna treat you right,
Speaker 1: and and all you need is one like Kurt. You
Speaker 1: may have grew up with both of your parents. Maybe
Speaker 1: you didn't say with you, but y'all had rules, y'all
Speaker 1: had regulations, and the rules and regulations were number just
Speaker 1: to give you parameters to grow. That's all that is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of the cool coolest things. And Taps really a
Speaker 1: quiet guy. If you've ever been around here. He doesn't
Speaker 1: talk much. And I thought we were I was gonna
Speaker 1: have to like interrupt him, be like, dude, you gotta go.
Speaker 1: He actually ran from here to the locker room because
Speaker 1: like he was, he was gonna be late. But walking
Speaker 1: over here, I was like, you know, hey, you ready
Speaker 1: to get back, you know, back to Dallas. He's like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to see my little girl. I was like,
Speaker 1: how old is She was like seven months old? And
Speaker 1: I said she she's getting fun now, right, He's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah. I was like she walking. He goes, no,
Speaker 1: I hope she doesn't start walking before I get back.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, this is a family guy,
Speaker 1: you know, family oriented guy. It's it's so great to
Speaker 1: see that man. You know, especially I came from kind
Speaker 1: of you know, my mom, my mom, and my grandfather.
Speaker 1: My grandfather was disabled, so he had he had lupus,
Speaker 1: and he really kind of raised me. I never really
Speaker 1: went to daycare. He always picked me up from school
Speaker 1: and then you know, my pretty much lived with just
Speaker 1: me and my mom a whole life. But like you said,
Speaker 1: she you know, I was always at baseball practice. I
Speaker 1: was always at basketball practice. I was always doing this
Speaker 1: and they invested the time and the energy and me
Speaker 1: to get me. What that's the deal? Man? I see
Speaker 1: so many uh people man that uh they're looking for
Speaker 1: and this is not a turn on, but they're looking
Speaker 1: for somebody else to do the job. And when I
Speaker 1: meet people that that that do the job. Your your grandfather,
Speaker 1: your mother did the job, your parents did the job.
Speaker 1: Now are you gonna turn out one hundred percent? No?
Speaker 1: Life got something to do with that. But the guys
Speaker 1: that we've been fortunate to meet on this on this
Speaker 1: on this show, and you and you one thing I
Speaker 1: can say, you didn't stumble because of lack of good
Speaker 1: love and parents. The bottom line, yeah, I can't. When
Speaker 1: I stumble, you can never point to my mother and
Speaker 1: father because they always had rules and regulations that set
Speaker 1: me and played. You heard Xavier Woods say I ain't
Speaker 1: going back home, man, I got to be back home.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty some years. I can't get a bit to
Speaker 1: the cock and say, hey, mom, wanna believe that was
Speaker 1: the same way in my house? I was forty fifty
Speaker 1: years over there. But like, where are you going? Son?
Speaker 1: Well that I'm gonna step out of minute. It's ten thirty, son,
Speaker 1: what's good happening at ten thirty? Have you call your
Speaker 1: wife let her know you's going out? Well? Speaking of families,
Speaker 1: these a lot of these guys are gonna be playing
Speaker 1: back in Dallas for the first time on Saturday in
Speaker 1: front of the home crowd. So I'm sure their families
Speaker 1: will be there and their friends and tell us about
Speaker 1: is that a distraction? Is that? Is that a good thing?
Speaker 1: Is it? Does it make you play harder? What's explain
Speaker 1: that experience? First time? You can and be it can be,
Speaker 1: but it's just your coach. It's what your coach demands
Speaker 1: from you. He'll if they get there enough time, the
Speaker 1: game being at six, if he get there, if they
Speaker 1: get there enough time, which they I don't know what
Speaker 1: time they're leaving Friday, you guys probably know they get
Speaker 1: there and then he'll let them get some time with
Speaker 1: the family, you know, let them get the kinks out
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden because a lot now
Speaker 1: good thing about this regime down is own and off.
Speaker 1: In these two or three weeks, you've seen different guys
Speaker 1: with their wives and their kids, so it ain't been
Speaker 1: total isolation like when I played. You know, that's why
Speaker 1: Jim and him had to be real tough on us,
Speaker 1: because now you go two three weeks or two of these,
Speaker 1: you ain't got nothing left for mom. Oh god, so
Speaker 1: you do get home, it's some things out, you know,
Speaker 1: so uh and uh. But the thing about it is
Speaker 1: these guys are so hungry. You know that they'll be
Speaker 1: ready for the game. I mean, because we have Kurt,
Speaker 1: we have a true competition that left guard. We had
Speaker 1: all most out secondary. I mean, granted we got two
Speaker 1: guys that starters, but our secondary is wide open. Xavier
Speaker 1: Woods pushing the issue back there with Jeff Heath. So
Speaker 1: it's you know, our Devien's line is not settled. And
Speaker 1: guess what if I'm if I'm Tapper, I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: them realize that the little ten or fifteen plays you
Speaker 1: thought you was gonna give me just want the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. So guess what that make a guy that's
Speaker 1: coming off suspension saying, oh my god, where do I fit?
Speaker 1: So now he got to come back? Ready? He said,
Speaker 1: it's some competition. Now you say, how ninety six and
Speaker 1: the president, you know, college and the president be going
Speaker 1: at it. You saw ysterday when Tyrone Smith came back,
Speaker 1: how all of a sudden Jonathan Cooper looked like a
Speaker 1: better player because he realized by Bill regardless of how
Speaker 1: he didn't look too good. But it's competition. And then
Speaker 1: they don't want to think about bringing Liell back in there,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you you on the bench,
Speaker 1: So you gotta pick your game. It's competition that back
Speaker 1: back up running back. You know me and I hate
Speaker 1: to say this, but I have to get I have
Speaker 1: to get the Smith kid a whole lot of reps.
Speaker 1: But see what you got, I mean, really see what
Speaker 1: you got, man, This dude just ran behind second third
Speaker 1: and I don't know what other teams it still got
Speaker 1: yards come on now? Yeah? Yeah, well Man and Cavan
Speaker 1: Frasian I stepped up. Uh what's the other guy number
Speaker 1: twenty six Thomas, Yeah, twenty twenty three. All these little
Speaker 1: guys starting to step up many Speaking of reps, what
Speaker 1: do you as far as playing time, what are you
Speaker 1: guys thinking? Are we're gonna see Dak for a series?
Speaker 1: This give Tyron Smith is in there in there speaking
Speaker 1: of now, he's telling me that he's coming on the
Speaker 1: show tomorrow. So we got a heavy hitter tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm cashing a favor I showed should have went on
Speaker 1: that favorite. I don't know. We're gonna get him on again.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get Yeah, I'll just probably have to owe
Speaker 1: him bribing him a couple of steak dinners or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know what that payoffensive.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that payoff's gonna be. But he's
Speaker 1: telling me he's coming on the show tomorrow, so you
Speaker 1: guys make sure. Yeah, I hit him yesterday, I saw him.
Speaker 1: He's going into the massage deal and uh, I can
Speaker 1: tell we had a good practice yesterday. And I was
Speaker 1: telling Bron we had a great practice. And what made
Speaker 1: me really know it is I saw the President. I
Speaker 1: saw Frederick when he says the president, he's talking about
Speaker 1: Zach markin he calls me the president. I saw. I
Speaker 1: saw all of them, and they're getting their backcrack. That
Speaker 1: me the defense brought a little Yeah. Yeah, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, man, Kurt, I'm loving it, baby. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, wow man, now that you're here, man, wow man.
Speaker 1: So this is the crew right now. We got we
Speaker 1: got jobs, but we don't even care, like really, we
Speaker 1: could just be cost Maybe you'll get eaten by sharks.
Speaker 1: Now sharking to me, I'm not Kurt's here because I
Speaker 1: don't have to. I don't have to try to talk
Speaker 1: as much. I just I'm not the football guy. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm the mediator. I just throw it out there
Speaker 1: and let you guys. We got stats guy, we got
Speaker 1: former player guy, former player guys. Where tap now? I
Speaker 1: we all will crew bro Will Crew, Motley Cruise. Man,
Speaker 1: it's oh, Kurt h I said this and I'm glad
Speaker 1: it didn't work. And y'all heard me say about a
Speaker 1: month ago. You know, I had my beard, all my hair,
Speaker 1: you know, the beard here is the man, and even
Speaker 1: Josh had a little something gone. Kurt tried to have
Speaker 1: Kurt try for like a week. Yeah, and he sounds
Speaker 1: a picture. Yeah wow. I actually thought about carrying it
Speaker 1: over to training camp. My wife was like, this ain't working.
Speaker 1: You ever seeing those those hairless dogs in Chinese Crest
Speaker 1: they got the hair? I was like, wow, Kurt sending
Speaker 1: me and me and Nate Josh the picture and like
Speaker 1: at first, I was like all I saw was like skin.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is Kurt sending me? Like sending
Speaker 1: the nudes to work? And it was like it was
Speaker 1: like four hairs going out the side of his cheek.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I put you through that. It's okay, Kurt,
Speaker 1: we forget. Yeah, but I tell you, man, them boys
Speaker 1: gonna get back. They're gonna get a jetted because just
Speaker 1: a week from that game, it's a rehearsal. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So you well, do you play a guy ten plays
Speaker 1: or fifteen plays his game? He gonna go a half
Speaker 1: next week, maybe three quarters, depending on how they look
Speaker 1: and what's going on, because all of a sudden, we
Speaker 1: don't have uh question for you guys, what did you
Speaker 1: do with Zeke next two games? Because you ain't playing
Speaker 1: him the fourth game? Definitely, what do you do the
Speaker 1: next two games? I think he's gotta play something. I
Speaker 1: think game get in there. I mean, like, even without
Speaker 1: this spension hanging over him, I don't think he'd play
Speaker 1: a lot. You just want to get him beat up.
Speaker 1: But I think he's got to get in there sum
Speaker 1: just to get the reps. So, um, what do you think?
Speaker 1: And you think you think fifteen plays gonna make a
Speaker 1: difference six weeks? Well, you know, they actually asked Carrot
Speaker 1: that today. They said, why why play the veterans at all?
Speaker 1: Because what's seven snap's gonna make a difference? And I mean,
Speaker 1: Garret is pretty adamant. He said, they need to work,
Speaker 1: you know, Yea, no matter how much little, how little
Speaker 1: it is, they need to work if you're gonna have
Speaker 1: if you're getting ready for the first regular season game.
Speaker 1: But I asked people, it's twenty plays in two weeks
Speaker 1: gonna matter eight weeks from that? You know, it's a
Speaker 1: good point. It makes me cause because what I gather
Speaker 1: from looking at the NFL and they're people inside supposed
Speaker 1: to be people. They are adamant about these six games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen nowhere where nobody say, well, maybe they. I
Speaker 1: mean it's like they call every network and say it's
Speaker 1: six gamps and we're gonna fight for six games. Zeke
Speaker 1: did officially appeal today. I think you still you got
Speaker 1: a kind of plan, like he might be there opening night,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's not gonna be there. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: he's a rat talent. He's a rat talent. Doesn't need
Speaker 1: a lot of gamework. No, No, he's a rat talent.
Speaker 1: If you if you ain't seen it now, you need
Speaker 1: some new set I I need. It's a movie. I
Speaker 1: thought about man with Tom cruise anywhere and he took
Speaker 1: his eyes out and he gave him some new eyes.
Speaker 1: Oh Minority Reporter. Yeah, he took Tom. He barely got
Speaker 1: him out for the machine got him. Watched that show up.
Speaker 1: I finished. I finished up the show Ozark last night.
Speaker 1: Oh they'll pull a dude's eyeball straight out of his
Speaker 1: head on that show. What put him in a glass?
Speaker 1: Like the guy one of the main guys in the
Speaker 1: East Side Morales was out there at a camp. It's
Speaker 1: about a guy that month Launder's money Jason Bateman launder's
Speaker 1: money for the Mexican drug cartel, okay, and then how
Speaker 1: he does all that and he gets in some hot
Speaker 1: water and then and he has to move to the
Speaker 1: Ozart Mountains and it's it's a it's a If you
Speaker 1: haven't watched it and you need, you need to get
Speaker 1: on something on Netflix. That's it. There's only one season out.

Speaker 1: Like any rice peel off every day. I think I
Speaker 1: had that today. They called it seasoned rice, but it
Speaker 1: was the most bland I think they consider salt seasoning. Yeah, Kurt,

Speaker 1: training camp, Friday, Friday is the last day that the
Speaker 1: team is at Camp Nate. When do you head back?
Speaker 1: Probably pull out tomorrow evening after we do t go
Speaker 1: hang around for the show. Yeah, I'm doing the show,
Speaker 1: hang around for tiring. Um, tomorrow will be our last show.
Speaker 1: We got to pack up the gear tomorrow and send
Speaker 1: it back on the equipment truck. So tomorrow will be
Speaker 1: the last show of hanging with the boys until I
Speaker 1: believe we'll be back on Monday. When we get back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'll be daily. We're gonna switch the time up
Speaker 1: on you guys, because when we get back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: try to have our show around open locker room when
Speaker 1: the media comes in and and interviews the players and stuff.
Speaker 1: That way we can pull them out of there and
Speaker 1: get them on the show. So we'll be a little
Speaker 1: bit of a moving target the first week back at
Speaker 1: the Star until we get into a into a rhythm. Um,
Speaker 1: the team's gonna they have a morning walk through on Friday,
Speaker 1: then the charter leaves sometime around uh mid late morning
Speaker 1: or midday. Um. I think I heard that we might
Speaker 1: be back in Frisco or landing Dallas around four o'clock
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon Dallas time, and then I think the team
Speaker 1: will then go to the Team Hope Tell, which is
Speaker 1: the new omni there at the Star of Frisco. They'll
Speaker 1: spend the night just like they would on a normal
Speaker 1: road trip or a home game. They'll stay there, then
Speaker 1: they'll get up and uh bust it to the stadium
Speaker 1: for the game Saturday. That's I believe at six o'clock
Speaker 1: Dallas time. Is that right, Arlington time? I believe so,
Speaker 1: and uh be back at home for the next Uh
Speaker 1: what the next two? Got the next one? Two? So?
Speaker 1: Uh what are you guys? What are we looking for Saturday?
Speaker 1: Are we are we still looking at the young guys
Speaker 1: or old guys knocking rust off old guys. You know,
Speaker 1: some guys improving themselves. Like you notice they've been playing
Speaker 1: the president with um with Lyo Collins, trying to get
Speaker 1: some chemistry there, and uh that's what they'll be continuing
Speaker 1: to do. Uh even with the center, you know, uh
Speaker 1: be knocking rust off with the left tackle Tyrone Smith,
Speaker 1: knocking rust off the receivers, trying to get some continuity
Speaker 1: with the quarterback. Young guys, continue to learn while you
Speaker 1: play full speed. Continue to try to play with an
Speaker 1: understanding of where you're supposed to be and what's your responsibilities.
Speaker 1: You know, are we're still looking at real vanilla scheme
Speaker 1: like that. You gotta understanding, Kurt. You you probably see
Speaker 1: see this weekend, and we gotta hear people talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be much to Marion Netli's defense, no way.
Speaker 1: Now you'll see Lanahan doing a lot of different things.
Speaker 1: H But we may have to scheme it up a
Speaker 1: little more of Zeke's not there because we're not the
Speaker 1: same team as when Zeke is there. We may it
Speaker 1: may take us a couple of weeks just to find
Speaker 1: out and this is the first place schedule, just to
Speaker 1: find out what offensive line is. This thing ain't if
Speaker 1: we still had Leary and Free, we'll be like, wow, man,
Speaker 1: who's gonna start a left guard? You know, because we
Speaker 1: got two studs at left guard. And then we're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we got the old man up banging around Free. You know.
Speaker 1: So you get what I'm saying. If you'll be looking
Speaker 1: at a different them and be like, okay, we can
Speaker 1: we can sustain the six game suspension. Now everything's a
Speaker 1: little different. You agree, you agree, that disagree? I think,
Speaker 1: and I wondered at this point, even though there's three
Speaker 1: preseason games that left, do they kind of they can't
Speaker 1: already know who's made a team. Yeah yeah, yeah, less
Speaker 1: like it's somebody out there that's doing better than they
Speaker 1: thought and they're gonna give a look. And this is
Speaker 1: what this is what preseason games do, is they gotta
Speaker 1: the first maybe forty eight guys they kind of know,
Speaker 1: but it's about four or five or six. They're giving
Speaker 1: them a chance to slide them and down that scale,
Speaker 1: you know, or even improving to that forty eight. It's
Speaker 1: somebody out there that it's gonna catch the catch eye.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll know, you know by that fourth game
Speaker 1: that man, let's watch this guy because you know he's
Speaker 1: on the bubble. Do the players know that? And how
Speaker 1: do they feel they at this point? You know? Man,
Speaker 1: yeah you kind of know. I mean, the reps gonna
Speaker 1: tell you. Coaches say whatever. You know, coach that comes
Speaker 1: to you with some wild stuff too, like hey man,
Speaker 1: you want to take a look at this guy. We'll
Speaker 1: get you in in the fourth, but we need to
Speaker 1: take a long look at this guy. Now. It was
Speaker 1: supposed to be your turn this game to be in
Speaker 1: that third quarter spot, and all of a sudden, here
Speaker 1: telling you didn't want to take an extra look at
Speaker 1: this guy? You just slid down the scale. Let me
Speaker 1: ask that's a that's a good point. And even in
Speaker 1: regular season, when something kind of goes different than what's
Speaker 1: either planned or what's normally expected, do coaches come to
Speaker 1: you and say, hey, here's what we're doing, this is
Speaker 1: why or do you just show up and when they
Speaker 1: tell you to go in, you go in? How does
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches have it that way? You know
Speaker 1: what they're not going to explain. But at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, like Belichick, he'll tell his
Speaker 1: guys like, look at here, all of y'all of value,
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be on this team. Now here this one
Speaker 1: coach telling you the truth. He said, but you may
Speaker 1: play this game, and you and our playing this game
Speaker 1: depending on my matchup thinking with my coaches. So and
Speaker 1: you see that in Belichick where you see Blunt disappeared
Speaker 1: for four games, not because they thing he did, but
Speaker 1: it's because of the matchups, you know. But they already
Speaker 1: knew that going into And I think Jason Garrett the
Speaker 1: same way. I think the head coach for the Mavericks.
Speaker 1: It's the same way. Yeah, I think he's the same way.
Speaker 1: You know, we're here to win now if you're not
Speaker 1: a core guy, you know, I'm not explaining that, and
Speaker 1: you just be ready to play when he's your opportunity.
Speaker 1: I've heard in some cases though, players don't find out
Speaker 1: really what they're doing till they get out here. Like
Speaker 1: it might have been Byron Jones. They said, okay, Byron,
Speaker 1: you go play with the safeties, and he's like, I
Speaker 1: guess I'm a safety, you know? Yeah? Yeah, here you
Speaker 1: line up with the first stringers. Okay, I'm a first
Speaker 1: stringer now, And that's how they found out was right
Speaker 1: there on the field right away. Yeah. Yeah. It's not
Speaker 1: like a normal job where they go, hey, you're not
Speaker 1: You're gonna be on fries today instead of Yeah, they
Speaker 1: don't have reviews every other yeah, goals speaking together. But
Speaker 1: the only Jeffers is they ain't gonna fire you the
Speaker 1: regular job. Can I have your note book? Yeah? Speaking
Speaker 1: of speaking of the MAVs, Uh Seth Curry's gonna be
Speaker 1: out here at practice today, brother of Stephan Curry. So,
Speaker 1: uh step is which one Seth is the older one
Speaker 1: or younger one? Which one w step gonna be? Step
Speaker 1: out of here? Seth Seth? Okay the one the one
Speaker 1: that played for the Maverick. Yeah, he's gonna be out here,
Speaker 1: so that's right, that's right. So another thing, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of servicemen and women out here today, Military appreciation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of servicemen and women out here,
Speaker 1: so yea, you know they're gonna be banging and you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to shout out to all the service people.
Speaker 1: And we're dedicating this this show to the moms and
Speaker 1: the service. All right, one thing I want to ask
Speaker 1: you guys before we got to get out of here
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. Still got a little bit of
Speaker 1: time though we didn't talk about Cooper Rush the other day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to bring that up, and we ran
Speaker 1: out of time. Does he have a chance to make
Speaker 1: this team? And if he does, is it a practice squad? Guy?
Speaker 1: Can he can he slide into? You know, I think
Speaker 1: practice squad. I think he's shown enough to at least
Speaker 1: warn a little bit more. And now the question is
Speaker 1: you already got a young quarterback, so do you keep
Speaker 1: a young one? But I know I'd like to have
Speaker 1: that commodity in hunt on hand. Like you know, for
Speaker 1: years the Packers head Rogers waiting in the wings. And
Speaker 1: you've seen the Patriots pick up a young guy and
Speaker 1: then trade him down the road. So I think if
Speaker 1: he can play, you put him on the practice squad
Speaker 1: and develop him some more and whether he helps you
Speaker 1: or you get something in trump return maybe that you know,
Speaker 1: down the road or hill. So what's the other option
Speaker 1: besides Cooper Rush? Who what's the option besides Cooper? We got?
Speaker 1: You're killing more quarterback? Yeah, you said it's a third quarterback.
Speaker 1: Who's other options? Well, you don't carry one, I get,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, So all I need to know is
Speaker 1: do you keep him on practice squad? Are you talking
Speaker 1: about keeping the third quarterback? Acting? I think practice squad? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that's it's already see that ain't any I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking we may have gonna keep three quarterbacks for a change. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well that was you were talking about reps a minute
Speaker 1: ago and all that. It was funny watching practice yesterday.
Speaker 1: You know there's Cooper Rush and that whole third or
Speaker 1: fourth strings out the They getting what like three reps pop,
Speaker 1: left guard jumps off sides and plays done. Whistle blows you.
Speaker 1: That's good, And I'm like, damn, that's hardcore. That poor
Speaker 1: guy's been standing on that side. Old time dude jumps
Speaker 1: off side and they're over. Doesn't even get you know,
Speaker 1: you know how you know how to set up Manfield
Speaker 1: and they and every day you get out, we got
Speaker 1: two minute, got third a second. Hey there's swains. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up? Says We gave y'all shout out on the
Speaker 1: show today. Yeah, oh yeah, it's so great. A couple
Speaker 1: of days later, yeah, so wow. What what are you guys, Kurt?
Speaker 1: You don't counting out here, Nate? What are you? What
Speaker 1: are you most looking forward to? Getting back home? A man?
Speaker 1: Just getting back home at home is what the heart
Speaker 1: is man. And uh, you know my wife is in England,
Speaker 1: London somewhere, you know, tally Hole one and all of
Speaker 1: this is that, oh man, for you, I'm just going home, chill,
Speaker 1: going on, getting my own bid. Man. You know, the
Speaker 1: stars changed a little bit. Some restaurants open, now, that's
Speaker 1: what I heard. I heard they got, uh, Raising Canes
Speaker 1: is open, Connie Rosa is gonna be open. Wonderful, it's open.
Speaker 1: Neighborhood services open. Yes, they're supposed to be Morris So
Speaker 1: we've got some dining options when we get right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the only thing you gotta look forward to is parking.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to park down the street and Uber
Speaker 1: to work. What's gonna happen? Man, that's not gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: So yeah, practice will be open to the public. Um.
Speaker 1: I think they made what ten thousand tickets available for
Speaker 1: each practice least, And they're going to practice in Forward Center, right,
Speaker 1: so they won't be out in the heat. Um. And
Speaker 1: it's the first time they've practiced. Hate that, Gray, I
Speaker 1: have show hated an animal grass. I hate that brother injuries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hate I hate turf, you know. I hate turf
Speaker 1: for the kids, man for the guys and spent an
Speaker 1: older guys. Yeah. For those of you that don't know,
Speaker 1: there's so there's the indoor facility in Forward Center. That's
Speaker 1: if if it's inclement weather or usually what they do
Speaker 1: is they'll practice outside. There's a turf field and a
Speaker 1: grass field and they'll practice. They'll do rehab and drills
Speaker 1: on the turf field, and then they practice on the
Speaker 1: grass field. For the reasons Nate was saying, it's it's
Speaker 1: easier on your joints and you're less likely to get hurt.
Speaker 1: And then when they implement the game plan. They usually
Speaker 1: move into the indoor facility, which is Board Center on Thursdays. Um,
Speaker 1: is it Wednesday or Thursday that they move in. Wednesday, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Wednesdays they move in. So that's where they're gonna have
Speaker 1: training camp. And they made ten thousand of tickets available
Speaker 1: to I think there's what nine days, ten days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you've got to you gotta go to can Master
Speaker 1: and get them in advance. You can't get them if
Speaker 1: you had to. They're sold out. They sold out. I
Speaker 1: heard about about forty eight hours after they made them available.
Speaker 1: So all the employees were wondering where we're gonna park
Speaker 1: because they were starting to take away our parking places
Speaker 1: anyway before we had to parking Nates and over where
Speaker 1: you live at Nate and Wildly Man. But oh, never mind,
Speaker 1: never mind, that's a drive. Yeah. But see the thing
Speaker 1: about me, I'm different than most guys. You know, if
Speaker 1: you can guarantee you I'm gonna have a park way
Speaker 1: out and I'm gonna have a job come Monday. You
Speaker 1: walk good, I'm good. Seem I'm out of the top
Speaker 1: of the line of them. I got a job. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm about to owe you nothing. Man,
Speaker 1: Oh man, I tell you I know who do have
