Why do we folks, why do we do that? 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:47.799 We go straight to the car. I want that one. No, Miles, no, no, miles. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.480 Nobody that will drive. Tell that dude, who gonna get it? 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.760 I gotta give me the keys where I can drive it. Right, Yeah, 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.960 what do y'all think? Good? Glad it's over. I'm smart. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.240 I'm glad. Everybody won. Yeah, everybody one. When you look 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.920 at the numbers, right, Zeke got his extension. He's basically 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.680 here for the better part of his prime. Right, he's 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.000 here for that haul. The Cowboys got a deal. That 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.240 is when you when you look at it, if you 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.320 can look at it two ways, the Cowboys got a 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.880 deal in which if it's sixty, if it's six years 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.960 for the ninety, right, and that's when you when you 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.200 add it all together, you can say, oh, six in 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.040 the nineties fifteen. If you do eight and the one 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.520 oh three, it comes out to me about twelve. So 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.680 depending on how you want to count this thing up, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.000 you can say, oh, he's the highest paid back because 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.320 we're talking about six for ninety. Then that puts him 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.200 up in the upper echel line, and the guarantees him 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.640 more than what Todd Gurley got. The agency, Rocky Arsenal 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.680 and his agent get to say we have the highest 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.279 payer running back in NFL history. So Zeke got his money. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.800 The Cowboys got to do locked up the best running 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.560 back areably the best running back in the league, locked 0:05:55.640 --> 0:06:01.320 up for eight years. Rocky Arsenal got his headlines, the 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.359 boys up front and the Russia. His teammates got the 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.400 best player on their team back every like this is 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.160 a situation. Jerry's ringing the bell and the stock exchange 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:16.080 in New York. Everybody won. Yeah, the fans were good. Media, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.520 We're good. You didn't reset the running back market by overpaying, 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.600 like he's right there where he needs to be a 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.120 body one. Yeah, and a crazy part about it. There 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.440 was at one point in time we worried, right, there 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:28.960 was a point how were like, Man, he might missed 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.119 the first three games. Yeah, But then I kept telling 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.159 people Jerry said this, and I believe this. Trust He said, 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.159 deadlines make deals. Yeah, and he when has he not 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.359 gonna deal? When? When did Zeke need to be in 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.920 the building and at practice? You said it yesterday? He 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.640 needs to be a practice on Wednesday to be ready 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.600 for the game. What's today? Ding ding ding ding ding 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.159 ding ding.

They're even 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.800 if he gets booed as soon as he scores a touchdown. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.120 Guests about me, say, some man I called a dude. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:19.360 I tweeted a dude this morning because he asked the question, like, man, 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.160 Zeke Dick need to just come on and be a 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.240 team player so my kid can beat something, so he 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.560 can show my kid, you know, team first.

It didn't 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:03.600 hurt nothing, you know, but this elite players that deserve 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.360 a little bit more than team friendly. They got what 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.760 they wanted. Zeke got what he wanted. Everybody's riding high. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.840 Let's see how the rust of these guys do it. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.320 But it's gonna be some more team friendly deals. So 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.040 I'm asking the fans know who you who know your personnel? 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.440 Zeke is on a different level. I heard Stephen say 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.640 this at the at the luncheon. You know, here's a 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:34.760 guy hard knows negotiating missus Stephen Jones. A guy asked him, say, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.400 what if another guy tried to do with Zeke? Dude? 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.480 He said, hit, there'll be sitting home.

Now I don't 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.920 know how special is to jested, but he's special to 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.520 me because he don't let me know him in a minute, 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.200 like wherever you want to put Dak in the in 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.360 the in the in the in the echelon of quarterbacks 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.640 from the league, somewhere between ten and fifteen. He's number 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:16.960 one of dallars. So you can you can put him 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.760 whatever you want to put him at. He's number one 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.800 of Dallars. He's Dallas's franchise quarterback. But your coach said 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.480 it best. Your coach said it best. Jimmy Johnson said 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.880 it best. He said everyone gets treated fairly, not everyone 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.120 gets treated the same. That's right.

Because last year 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.400 I think Tampa Bay shot the Saints. In the year 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.960 before that, somebody shot the New England Patriots, and in 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.880 the first few weeks Tampa put up forty plus against 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.480 the New Orleans Sames. Yeah, and I just don't want 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:31.040 to be shocked. You know, I know we're better than them. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.320 We our offensive line is better than their defensive line. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.520 And that's where we're going today. You know, I know 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:43.960 our quarterback Collins. They lost Collins, they lost Snacks, They 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.079 lost Olivier Vernon a years two ago, they lost Jason 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.360 Pierre Paul. They have been losing players for the last 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.200 two years, the players that they feel that was not 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.760 good for their locker room and wasn't good for their 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.000 Sarah cap. They have let them go for a little 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:03.160 of nothing. But those players left left some good some 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.160 I think, some decent guys behind, some decent athletes. They're 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.520 not like Delvin Thomas is not bigger than snacks, you know, heavy, 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.840 you know, but they do have Alex Overcatry at the 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.080 inside linebacker. They still have him, and he can run. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.800 He can run. I just don't want them to sneak 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.680 up on us, you know, and out hustle us. You know, 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.080 we have the better talent, I think, but I don't 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.480 want them to out hustle us. Jesse, No, you I mean. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.960 And that's the thing. Earlier in the year. If there's 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.280 one thing that I'm fearful of, um, is that beginning 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.920 of the year, everyone's a little bit sloppy. No one 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.280 has found their groove yet, no one has truly found 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.160 their identity. That you're still working out the kinks. So 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.560 the giants are gonna come in and they're looking around. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.720 They're saying, man, we got to just go balls to 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.040 the wall and see what happens. There's no pressure on us. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.200 The Cowboys are the one with the all the one 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.720 hundred and eighty five million dollars talent guaranteed money. They 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.800 got all the talent, they got all the headlines. We 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.480 didn't lost Odell. We didn't. You know, we don't know 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.080 if Daniel Jones is the next Paint Manning, if Eli Manning. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.760 We don't know. They don't There's so many, so much 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:15.520 uncertainty going on with the Giants. It's it's that it's 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.080 that wounded animal, right, it's that wounded animal. When you 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:23.000 back that animal into a corner, they could sometimes hurt you. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.520 They can come out striking. It's crazy and it can 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.400 hurt you. The Cowboys have to come out in this 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:34.680 game and assert their dominance right now. If you give 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.360 a team like this hope, then the ball starts bouncing 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.840 their way. And that's the thing about football. When people 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.000 always people try to say, like, oh, that game was 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.920 uh they they they they uh it was it was. 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.640 It was fixed, ye can't you. It's so hard to 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.360 fix football like this. You can take the one thing 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.440 for sure, Oh, if I throw the ball to him 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.960 right now, he'll catch it. He's been a Pro Bowl guy. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:00.920 He'll catch it and then that one time he'll go 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.680 and drop it, or a dB could be had the 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.640 I mean had the interception dead the rights and drop it, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:14.120 or quarterback and have a receiver wide open overthrown. I mean, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.440 there's so many factors in that. You can't throw a 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.080 game in the National Football League, you know, but I 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.760 mean you can do it. We see the ones get 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.840 screwed with a call. But as far as the end 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.640 play stuff, that's the biggest thing. That that that I'm 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.960 fearful off. But you can look at the names. I 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.080 don't recognize half the names on their roster. There's nothing 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.680 that they can do with us, your brill. Peppers came 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.720 out of Michigan, supposed to been a study. They traded him. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.120 I think he was in on the trade for the 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:51.120 wide receiver. Is he Will he find himself here with 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.640 the with the Giant Sea questions like that. You know, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.560 it's two or three teams in this league just their 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:03.560 names make others other guys salivate. Is Pepper's gonna be 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:07.080 one of them? Got to Cowboys? Oh oh yeah, I'm 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.360 gonna crank it up. Will he have a career day? 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:13.159 It worries me because it's so early this season. You 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.680 don't know. People are looking for the identists. They want 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.879 to get off on the right foot. And as he said, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.400 you get a team that you y'all say this off air. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.720 Everybody's even, everybody's even a thirty two teams have the 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.719 same amount of hope going into Thursday night. So can 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:34.280 they make a play early that distracts us? You're like, Okay, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.840 we'll come back. See because that that stattitude I don't 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.680 want us have. I don't want to have that sense 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.560 of entitlement. We have a powerful offense which has not 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.760 played together, not one day in camp. All the eleven 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:51.000 has not since the first day account we had out 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.520 of loving guys together with our new offensive coordinator putting 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.360 these things, we haven't had it. That's why this week 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.800 is so important. This week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and walk 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.000 through on Saturday is so important because I'm taking guys 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.480 who have not played together all season. We still don't 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.640 know what Kelly Moore is. That's right, Like we literally 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:16.640 have no clue. There is no film. Yeah, there's no references, 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.440 there's nothing. We are all going to this game like this. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:26.200 I sure hope this works because we don't know that. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:33.199 We just we don't know. And that's if you if 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.680 we had to say, hey, let's play this game, we 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.359 went Cowboys kill him, not even close. Taking money to 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.200 the bookie. We're doing paper for paper, taking money to 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:49.280 the bookie. Put the house on it. Roster Wise, they 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.040 can't touch us. But then it always comes back to 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:56.040 that point again, right, the meshing, the jelling, the play calling, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.520 the rhythm of it, all that stuff comes into play. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.400 Do I think the Cowboys will win this game? Yes? 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.320 I don't. I never ever ever assume a Division game 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.480 is going to be easy, because they never are. No, 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.879 as someone who has watched it, and as someone who 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:18.840 has played in them Giants, Eagles, Redskins, you're going to 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.600 get their very best. And the teams know each other 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.800 so well because they play them twice a year. The 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.000 players know each other, the coaches know how the other 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.080 teams coach systems and everything. Yeah, but the one gifting 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.240 curse is that no one knows coming more systems, So 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.480 you really can't game ployor game playing for you can say, well, 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.000 we're gonna there's the same offense, same Jason Garrett offense, 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.600 but we don't know how it's going to be called. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.919 But in the same respect, on the other side, these 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.480 guys don't know how it's gonna be called either. On 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.639 the offense. How long? How long is that? That is? 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.800 What is that? Four games? Four to six games before 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.239 there's enough film on him. Eight I'm gonna give him 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.119 six to eight and then they're gonna start building a 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.879 nice little book on him. I'm gonna give them six 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.560 unless he unless he kind of does like McVeigh. McVeigh 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.240 gonna have and all good offensive mind of coach is 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.719 gonna have four or five plays, or they setting up 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:13.600 like they ain't seen this. I'm gonna play this off 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.480 of this, I'm gonna play this off the I'm gonna 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.399 run this rundom and I'm gonna play you know how 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.359 they set it up and all of a sudden that 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.960 one play boom, Oh man, I ain't know they had that. Yeah, 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.119 because he's been setting it up the whole game, and 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.280 these coach have that in his back pocket that he's 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.440 been working on, you know, whether it's up here in 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.440 his mind or whether he's gonna ran and in practice 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.760 this will work, you know, and at the right time 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.879 talking about Kelly Moore in the offense. Y'all take turns. 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.879 Whoever wants to go first. What's one area that you 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.200 feel really good about and one area that you're kind 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:49.680 of like on the Cowboys offense that you're not so 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.640 sure about? Go ahead, go ahead, I see. Yeah, Jesse's 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.280 pointing at our co host over here that hasn't said 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:00.800 one word today. Okay, So is that is that a good? Bad? 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:05.280 When you pointed that that's good? Okay? He erasist mistakes. 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.840 He's he's an eracer. We're talking about. Zeke's an eracer. 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:15.000 He's a racer and he's a balancer. And what I 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:19.320 mean by that you're gonna have to play your bass 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:24.879 fronts because of him. You can't get fancy and exotic 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:29.040 because of him. He balances up. It's first and ten. 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.800 You see the eighth man in the box. It's second 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.639 and five. He's somewhere near the box because he's scared. 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.760 He balances up. He makes it where Dak can read 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.480 a little bit easier. Then do you agree that a power? 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.320 Do you agree that Dak and Zeke as a power? 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:46.880 You look at I look at Zeke as a best 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.680 player on the team, But do you look at uh 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:54.960 uh dad as as as a pawer with it per 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.800 with him? No? Is he an individual? An individual? Okay? 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:02.639 He is Like you know, Zeke stands alone, right, I 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:08.200 think you more so put Amori and Daka together, right, right, 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.879 but Zeke stands alone because of this is the kind 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:16.840 of guy. You can give him the ball and he 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.240 can take nothing and turn it into something. Right. And 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.520 so what that now does is you talk about the 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.040 eighth guy coming in the box, right when my eighth 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:28.080 guys in the box. Now what happens is I'm able 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.239 as a quarterback, Dak Prescott. I can read things more simpler, right, 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.840 and now if I do a little motion, Oh, now 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:36.800 I know it's man to man. Oh now I know 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.000 it's zone. And that allows me and my number one 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.840
