1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Right now, brought to you by Ford Built for Texas,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Built for you. Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones.

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, Hey, Kevin, and all three. It's three

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: of you, isn't it? Just that? Is right? Corey and Mike,

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: Corey and Mike, and uh boy, it's good to start

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: this thing off. Good to be on with you, and

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: uh let's have another great week here. A week from

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: my guess today we'll be teeing it up against Tampa

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: and will if that be a thrill? So I wanted

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: to know, and I want to talk more about that,

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: of course. But when you saw that episode of Hard

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Knocks and you saw that amazing drone opening, what did

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: you think of that? And is there any chance you

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: were flying that drone? No, I've I'm not even gonna

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: attempt to think how many of those things I'd crash

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: if I tried to fly them. But I love them.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: They've you know, I used to think, you know, in

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: a James Bond movie, Uh, they do cameras and and

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: boy you get to drive along, but you get to

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: see the car coming around the bend. You get to

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: see what your car looks like from being shot out

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: on the boat and just let you see all the

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: vestas of how you're moving along your life. Well, drones

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: allow you to do that too. And uh, and of

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: course it really did serve of showing the star in

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: a unique way in them. I love the shots. It's

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: a it's fantastic. Well, Jerry, you know a lot of

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: people will say that you have you have the greatest

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: show in all of sports. Uh. Some fans show up

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: for specifically just the football. A lot of fans show

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: up for the entertainment. And basically, you've you've almost made

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: it customizable to be a Cowboys fan. You can kind

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: of pick and choose what you what you want the most.

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of curious from the guy that that

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: has the big picture idea, what is it that you

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: want Cowboys fans to experience or get out of being

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: a Cowboys Well, I want to be everywhere we could

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: be with Cowboys. If you were in an architectural magazine,

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: or if you were in an art magazine or wherever,

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I'd like for something to be noted or some subject

41
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: part of the Cowboys to be noted in that magazine.

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that everybody in those disciplines are going

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: to be fans of the Cowboys, but they know at

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: least we're they're interested. And when Thanksgiving comes and they're

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: looking eating that Thanksgiving turkey, they look up there and say, well,

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I remember that team being noted in my house communications,

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: and man, I'm just going to be interested in that team.

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: It's a way of creating interests and I do want that,

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: But make no mistake about it. I came into sports

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: as I suited since today with the Cowboys with one

51
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: reason and one reason only, and that was to get

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: to compete at this level and get to compete to win.

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: And I know that sometimes you you emphasize an aspect

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: and it means that you're not as apt or you're

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: not as intense. And another I remember I'm talking about

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin, and Michael Irvin's were the most talented players

57
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: I've ever been around. But because he was such a

58
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: war horse, he was so competitive and he just willed

59
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: it and he willed men around him. Then all of

60
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: a sudden it took a little off of his perception

61
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: as a talented football player. Well, he's a Hall of

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Fame talented football player too, but one overshadowed it and

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: I know that we've got this, uh, this reality that

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: we haven't won a Super Bowl and haven't appeared to

65
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: be as competitive of the last twenty five years. But

66
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: apart from that, I want us to be competitive and

67
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I want us to be a winning team, and maybe

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: this is our year to get that done. With all

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: that in mind, that's interesting that comparison to are talking

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: about Michael Irvin. Does it irritate you or quite frankly,

71
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: does it piss you off when people say that the

72
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys are more interested in the rest of that and

73
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: being in the architectural magazines and showing off the start

74
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: then winning. Yeah, no, it does not. The fact that

75
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: they're talking about me being more interested means I'm getting

76
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the job done. Do you see what I mean? If

77
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: you if if that is a discussion that in of

78
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: itself means that you're in front of outfront, and so

79
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: to me, that's what it's all about. You know, the

80
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: old addage, just keep them talking about you. Now, there's

81
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: certain things you don't want to be in a part

82
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: of that conversation, certain subject matter, but very few really.

83
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: The facts are that we ask for that attention, We

84
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: asked for that interest, and that makes it to me

85
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: that that's kind of sticking yourself out there. That makes

86
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: you even more intense to do what's expected of you,

87
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: and that's to go out and do everything in your

88
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: power to win a football game. You know, a lot

89
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: is made of the Cowboys value, and a lot is

90
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: made of a lot of the business around the Cowboys.

91
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 1: I think anybody really knows me, knows that I would

92
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: trade a lot of that substantive talk for a first down,

93
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: or traded for a win, or traded for division championship.

94
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: I think most of that are around me all the

95
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: time would tell you that's the case. So, Jerry want

96
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: to talk about Sunday's game, and Trevor Lawrence is going

97
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to play, and I'm excited to watch the defense against

98
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and excited as a football fan to watch

99
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I was wondering, you've been around for a

100
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: long time, you had Troy Aikman. You've seen the scouting

101
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: reports on Peyton Manning. There's a lot of scouts that

102
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: say Trevor Lawrence is the real deal, He's the next

103
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: Is that what you guys saw in him too? I

104
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: know that you guys didn't have the first pick or

105
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback. But is he that special of

106
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: a talent that you're facing Sunday, Yes, Yes, if I've

107
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: same one that you could put and make put in

108
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: those same kinds of a level of pala what he

109
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: accomplished his skill set, Yeah, I think he's in that

110
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: that conversation. But boy, of late, we've seen several of

111
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks that it seems as though they can hit

112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: the ground running, uh and and at a at a

113
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: more in a more accomplished way early in the seasons

114
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: than it used to be. You remember, we had some

115
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: pretty bumpy years there early with Troy Troy's fault, but

116
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: we just we're trying to build something around him there.

117
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: And of course these guys, if they've got something around them, man,

118
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: they can perform early. But I don't think there's any

119
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: question that Lawrence's when you say the real deal, he's

120
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback that should if he's available, and that's injury

121
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about. If he's available, he should have a

122
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: great career. Well and Jerry, you know, speaking of quarterbacks

123
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: hitting the ground running, and maybe it was unintentionally with Dak,

124
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: but he absolutely did. And obviously we're happy to see

125
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: him running around here during camp and during practice. But

126
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: how much of this season in your mind depends on

127
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: the health of Dak Prescott. Well, but most teams that

128
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: have been fortunate enough to get a quarterback of if

129
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: you will, as as a as a first as accomplished,

130
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go ahead and say it, as

131
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: accomplished as Daks or some of these other quarterbacks. Most

132
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: of those teams really dropped off when they don't happen.

133
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: And that's a fact. And so if you said, well,

134
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: that means a law of the season, of course, it

135
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: has to do when you know, we lost eight month

136
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: at varying times during his career, and we're able to

137
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: make do until we could get him back in there

138
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: on several occasions and consequently got those Super Bowls with

139
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: him leading us. But uh, and then nearly That's one

140
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: of the things when I think of Tony Romo. You've

141
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: heard me say, it's it's right there. That may be

142
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: my most disappointing thing about the Cowboys for me is

143
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: not winning a Super Bowl or being an in one

144
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo. And we just weren't able when we

145
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: didn't have him. We just weren't able to really compensate

146
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: for that, and that had something to do with him,

147
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I think not being on a Super Bowl. Then I'm

148
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: really glad that you brought Tony Romo up because we

149
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: were having a discussion about the number of future Hall

150
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks that are in the NFL at any

151
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: particular season. Do you look back at the career of

152
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Tony Romo and view him as a Hall of Famer

153
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: and could you view Dak making the Hall of Fame? Well,

154
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: I think we've There's no question in my mind that

155
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Tony is a skilled at a skilled level and had

156
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: had accomplishments statistically that were there. The fact that we

157
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: did not have a super A Bold during that time.

158
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: It's going to always be in the conversation as to

159
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: where Tony Romo will rank. Uh might rank, but just

160
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: where he's acknowledged and uh uh, you know you're you're

161
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: talking to a guy that would be a first round

162
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: ballot with me, right, And I don't apologize for that.

163
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: The defense Jerry for for this team, there's a lot

164
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: of young players, there's some free agents that y'all added

165
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: to this but last year it was it was tough.

166
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: It was tough to to watch. I know that you

167
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: you had a lot of moments last year where you

168
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: were like, what's going on with this defense? Uh? Are

169
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: you more excited based on what you're what you're seeing

170
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: so far from your young players here? Yeah. The answers

171
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: yes to all the questions and anymore you might want

172
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: to ask. I'm I'm excited about our defense. I'm I'm

173
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: we have been. We have shut so dramatically changed our defense,

174
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: and not only from how we're going to try to

175
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: execute it, but also the people we're going to execute

176
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: it with. Goes all the way down through the coaching

177
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: almost with the exception of the head coach. And I'm

178
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: anxious to see if you can make that much change

179
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: with very talented players. And these players are every bit

180
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: what we had hoped for when we either drafted them

181
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: or brought them in here and free agency, and they're

182
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: playing together better than I could have hoped for as

183
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: as our camp has gone along here. With that in mind,

184
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: I'm really curious. I don't I don't know and don't

185
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: remember this much change that I know of in the NFL,

186
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: and so this is gonna be real interesting to see

187
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: how this relates to winning the football games with the

188
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: defense impacting that the way that it and they will

189
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: have to for us to win the game. Jerry, as

190
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: we prepare for Sunday and talk about the game today

191
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: for Cowboy fans and for us, if you were to say, hey,

192
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: there's three guys or so that you should watch on

193
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: Sunday kind of because they're in a situation. If they

194
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: play well, they got a chance to make the fifty three.

195
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: If they don't, they don't have a good chance to

196
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: make the fifty three. Who would you tell the Cowboy

197
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: fans to kind of watch on Sunday. Well, I'm gonna

198
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: say that, I'm going to just take the entire young

199
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: our first year guys, and I'm gonna stop right there.

200
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: We've done real well with our free agents, and I

201
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: think those free agents have exceeded our expectations, and so

202
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to be curious to see these draft picks.

203
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: Made a couple of free agents that we had last year,

204
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: and I'm deliberately not mentioned in names because I don't

205
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: want to narrow it down like that and create a

206
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: a official on the bubble. But we've got some players

207
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: that I think that to see them play an extended

208
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 1: period of time out of here Sunday is going to

209
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: be eye opening. I think it will be because they

210
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: have had the camp behind them. They've gotten better, unquestionably

211
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: one of them have gotten better. They're playing through in

212
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: some cases nicks and bombs, which is what you want

213
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: to see, and a player that you're trying to evaluate.

214
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: All of those things are going to be on the

215
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: plate for these younger players out there this coming Sunday

216
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: and very very critical to our decisions that will make

217
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: principally Monday. Well, we just saw Zeke playing cornerback in

218
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: the walk through a few minutes ago. Is that why

219
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: y'all with restructured his contracts so we can play multiple positions? Uh? Well,

220
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing. Um, if somebody asked, is

221
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: he physical enough to play cornerback? Which is often to

222
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: ask of a cornerback they can cover well, but did

223
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: they come up and meet the meet the contact, meet

224
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: the ball care. You don't have to worry about to

225
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: have with twenty one. He'll be up there. He'll be

226
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: up there to meet him if they turned that corner.

227
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: Did you did you think Zeke's season I know a

228
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: lot of things were at played, but did you think

229
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: for Zeke standards, last season was subpar for him, and

230
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: what are y'all expecting from him this season and going forward? Yeah,

231
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: we had we had so much at played last season.

232
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I uh and and again you can tell I'm going

233
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: to be uh that not hard and not hard in

234
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: my comments because we got so compromised in our offensive

235
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: line and then, uh, it became pretty obvious that without

236
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: back in there, that h that it was not going

237
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: to be a balanced thing. Adn't that? So I think

238
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: we got loaded up on in the running game after

239
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: we lost that Prescott and so all of that plus

240
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: how compromised we were overill now offensive ball, plus very candidly,

241
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: you do defense offense has to compliment each other. Well

242
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: when you're not stopping him on offense, I mean on defense,

243
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: and then that puts some more undo, un winnable pressure

244
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: on offense. So when you look at everything I gets,

245
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm fair to put that real, real hammer on Zeet

246
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: that he had a subpart a year. He had a

247
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: subpart year, all right, but it wasn't necessarily because he

248
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: was as subpar as some might express. So Jerry, we

249
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: were having a huge debate up here before he went

250
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: on the show. We're here at the Star and I'm

251
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: a big fan of Freedo Pine. I'm about to go

252
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: downstairs and get a Freedo pie. Where are your thoughts

253
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: on Freedo Pie? I tell you this. I from my

254
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: senior trip out of high school. My best friend he

255
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: was playing in the All Star Game and Arkansas and

256
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: I was too, So we wanted, we dreamed in our

257
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: spring to take a trip around just the southwest United States,

258
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Texas and go down through. So we took off hitchhiking.

259
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: You could hitchhike then, and we had all we ate

260
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: was free toes and seven ups, and we ate them

261
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: all across Texas, hitchhiking from Arkansas all the way over

262
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: to New Mexico, and then we came back down to

263
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Port Author and El Paso and then came on back

264
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: around by New Orleans. Never stayed in the hotel, slept

265
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: in parks and slept and didn't do too much changing

266
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: clothes either, and we just inch hike and did nothing

267
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: but look at stuff and just out looked at the buildings,

268
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: looked at the grant And that was our senior trip.

269
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: Just too of the sit chicking court stop with Wow

270
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: fond memories of FreeDOS then incredible. So do you like

271
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: FreeDOS because of that? Are you like I had enough FreeDOS?

272
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: What made me think of that, of course, was the

273
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: freeto question. And no, I'll tell you, what do you think?

274
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: I agree with you that you'd have had enough of

275
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: them if that's all you did. But one reason week

276
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: that's caused we liked them. But we were all on

277
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: a budget. Let me put like that. I think I've

278
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: forgotten to tell you we had about fifteen bucks a piece,

279
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: so we weren't really we just we just were had

280
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: this dream that we wanted to take off eachiking. Absolutely incredible.

281
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 1: Love that love talking with you every Friday morning right

282
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: here in the home of the Dallas Cowboys. We're looking

00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: forward to the game on Sunday, and we'll catch up
