Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Let's go. Are
Speaker 1: you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: much for that. It's time for the Break on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar
Speaker 1: Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey, guys, welcome back to Cowboys
Speaker 1: Break today. Our cast looks a little different. We got
Speaker 1: I said, stand back and the one and only Darren
Speaker 1: Woodson and of course Nick em in here. But how
Speaker 1: are you guys doing today? We're good, great, a little
Speaker 1: bit of change here. Coming back from Boston. I think
Speaker 1: every flight from that area has been delayed or canceled
Speaker 1: or whatever. So Dave couldn't make it. Derek has some
Speaker 1: other things to attend, so you know, this is a
Speaker 1: week we're gonna shake it up. Anyways, we just got
Speaker 1: a little head start to it and won't miss them
Speaker 1: on the show. Maybe. I mean that's I just tweeted out.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, you know, everybody wants continuity. You
Speaker 1: want your group, but you can't get the regular guys in.
Speaker 1: Let's get a couple of ballers in here. We're looking
Speaker 1: at me. I'm just looking at you, man, So I'm
Speaker 1: just figuring out where I fall the line here could
Speaker 1: your boys who work here, so you were just like
Speaker 1: grab anybody off the street. So I'm the dude off
Speaker 1: the street. Listen, this is where you fall in line.
Speaker 1: We have an option to pick any photo in the
Speaker 1: history of the Dallas Cowboys to put on our wall.
Speaker 1: And what do we pick? I want to hear all
Speaker 1: that's where you stand? Yeah, okay, Lee, you realize he
Speaker 1: has kind of like a man crush on you. I
Speaker 1: don't know. We're oping on now, We're ofping on. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I feel that way and then other no denial over here.
Speaker 1: Ye all right, Well, we have a lot to talk
Speaker 1: about today. So since there are many many different aspects
Speaker 1: of the crazy game that we watched last night, Cowboys
Speaker 1: win over time. We everyone saw that final score thirty
Speaker 1: five twenty nine, let's just start off with your takeaway
Speaker 1: of the game, just in general, I say, go ahead,
Speaker 1: what was your main takeaway of this game? Well, my
Speaker 1: main takeaway is the fact that we have we know
Speaker 1: what the character of this team is. I think that
Speaker 1: all the forms of adversity that they faced yesterday and
Speaker 1: the forms of injury and forms of um, you know, turnovers, um,
Speaker 1: you know, the referees, everything that they had to overcome yesterday.
Speaker 1: I think you really have a great understanding of who
Speaker 1: these guys are when they're battle tested. We've had other
Speaker 1: games this year that we've had to go down to
Speaker 1: the wire, but this this one right here, I think
Speaker 1: you have a as a coach and as a fan
Speaker 1: and as analysts, I think you have you pretty You
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about who you have in that locker
Speaker 1: room right now. I would say, look, they don't win
Speaker 1: this game game last year. They don't. They weren't built
Speaker 1: to win these type of games last year, this this
Speaker 1: this year around, and just watching this year's game, they
Speaker 1: have some dogs on this team. I mean, really do.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear Cede Lamb's name in the first half,
Speaker 1: second half, he just turns it up. He takes it
Speaker 1: to the next level. Dak has so many weapons at
Speaker 1: his disposal, and we're seeing the maturation process. But not
Speaker 1: only Dak, but the young guys that are on this
Speaker 1: football team. The Pollard's coming up, stepping up, making big
Speaker 1: plays when he has to Cede Lamb Wilson. There's just
Speaker 1: so many guys that you have to cover. And as
Speaker 1: a deep as ave player, as I'm watching this offense,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, well if I take if you're Belichick,
Speaker 1: I'm taking Amari Cooper away. Maybe the first half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't do much, but here comes CD and then
Speaker 1: here comes Pollard. There's just so and then Wilson. It's
Speaker 1: just so many guys that you have to Shultz, you
Speaker 1: had so many guys have to deal with with this offense.
Speaker 1: I just you're in this office, is only gonna get better,
Speaker 1: get Lyle back, and he got some guys who the
Speaker 1: opposite lineman who've played while while, you know, through the
Speaker 1: injuries and all that sot to build out depth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Galloped this we haven't talked about, but on the field,
Speaker 1: but they just have so many weapons offensively that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to stop them if they can play
Speaker 1: within themselves. Yeah, I mean, I they said it best.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like when you play poorly, you know,
Speaker 1: and still find a way to win, I mean that's
Speaker 1: a sign of a good team. And you know it
Speaker 1: doesn't always happen that way. You mean, that team had
Speaker 1: no business playing with the Cowboys, and that quarterback he's
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be good down the road, and
Speaker 1: I think I think he's in a good spot for it.
Speaker 1: But but you know, that day, Cowboys should have probably
Speaker 1: won it by seventeen twenty one points, but they didn't.
Speaker 1: But they still, like you said, I don't think they
Speaker 1: win last year. A couple of years ago, they don't.
Speaker 1: They just didn't feel like a vibe that they were
Speaker 1: going to win. But they figured it out, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you talk about a lot of depth they've got
Speaker 1: all these guys, there's one spot that we we don't
Speaker 1: really know if they've got any depth, and I hope
Speaker 1: we may have to find out, you know, with a quarterback.
Speaker 1: We don't really know where things stands as we're taping
Speaker 1: this show from the MRI. But I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of breath being held over
Speaker 1: that side of the building, right, you know, for Deck's
Speaker 1: calf and acting like it wasn't anything. I mean, of
Speaker 1: course it's dak. It's gonna walk out there and be
Speaker 1: like I can all good and everything. But I mean
Speaker 1: they don't boot up any any calf. They don't just
Speaker 1: say I was put a boot on you. I mean
Speaker 1: they want to take the stress off it. I mean
Speaker 1: that's just precaution until they until they have a greater
Speaker 1: analysis of what's going on. But you know, like like
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, you know, gallops out with a calf, Right,
Speaker 1: when's the last time we saw gallop? That's gonna while
Speaker 1: you don't have to tell me that that gets that
Speaker 1: makes it scary. Yeah, that makes scary because you're not
Speaker 1: sure what you know, with the uncertain there could be
Speaker 1: there's about three or four different grades to this. And
Speaker 1: well you have bye week, so that helps. But we'll see.
Speaker 1: But you know, going back to the game, you know
Speaker 1: you said it right, Nick, they made so many mistakes
Speaker 1: in this game. I mean they made a tough on
Speaker 1: of mistakes and we can I mean, they made so
Speaker 1: many mistakes. I can't remember all, we don't, but they
Speaker 1: still found a way to win this game. And that's
Speaker 1: what good teams do. You know. I was watching a
Speaker 1: little bit of the Kansas City game earlier in that
Speaker 1: day against the against the Washington football team, and Kansas
Speaker 1: City made a ton of mistakes. You know, I can't
Speaker 1: tell you I made the interceptions fumbles here and there,
Speaker 1: but they found a way and then they put up
Speaker 1: twenty one points just like that. And that's what you're
Speaker 1: seeing in this football team. A lot of mistakes where
Speaker 1: you know, my concern would be, when you're playing a
Speaker 1: really good football team, you can't make those mistakes. You
Speaker 1: can't fumble the ball at the one yard line, you
Speaker 1: can't you can't have fourth and one a number of
Speaker 1: times and not make you gotta get those fourth and one.
Speaker 1: I gotta point to that, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: it's not so much game related about when you're playing
Speaker 1: those good teams, but before you're you know, I know
Speaker 1: you have to leave a little bit earlier before the show.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that facing good teams. Maybe
Speaker 1: not right the second because we're still talking about the game,
Speaker 1: but it's interesting when you look at it, playing good
Speaker 1: teams and who who they're going to play the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. But um, you know, going back to
Speaker 1: you know, Dak, I think what I've said over and
Speaker 1: over and I'll say it to you guys because you
Speaker 1: guys both play and you've been around a lot of teams.
Speaker 1: I think the difference of this team is the fact
Speaker 1: that they're the most unselfish team I've ever said, they
Speaker 1: just do not care not We'll see what happens when
Speaker 1: you lose a game, and we'll see if everyone says
Speaker 1: is on the same page, and I think they will be.
Speaker 1: And I think the unselfishness is amazing as far as
Speaker 1: Dak doesn't care who gets there. You know, Cooper's not
Speaker 1: complaining about his catches. Get the win and it'll all
Speaker 1: shake out at the end. Yeah. Yes, culture, you know
Speaker 1: I talk about culture so much, and you know, I
Speaker 1: think dan Quinn had a big part part of this, obviously,
Speaker 1: Coach McCarthy and the guys that he's that he's brought
Speaker 1: onto this, not only the staff, but into this locker room. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, culture is absolutely everything. I know you you
Speaker 1: can speak to that as well. I've been in locker
Speaker 1: rooms are in bad you know, and you know sometimes
Speaker 1: we went we had amazing teams. We went and got
Speaker 1: your button knocked out the first round of the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and I've been on other teams that obviously went all
Speaker 1: the way through, and you know, the culture inside that
Speaker 1: locker room is the difference between making the playoffs and
Speaker 1: actually getting walking away with a ring. I think that
Speaker 1: back again, I start off on the show, and we
Speaker 1: were talking earlier about the dogs, amount of guys that
Speaker 1: they have that truly believe in self Like they have
Speaker 1: guys of course, like Randy Gregory is a dude man
Speaker 1: talking trash all game. I do not mind that as
Speaker 1: long as you come and play like that was. Those
Speaker 1: are some of the things that we're missing. And I
Speaker 1: mean a lot of guys were just it was fake
Speaker 1: talking trash. Now these guys, I mean, individually, you're starting
Speaker 1: to see this mentality of I'm the dude, I am
Speaker 1: the dude, and truly believing that they are the dudes.
Speaker 1: I mean, number eleven is a dude. He's going to
Speaker 1: do He didn't play that well yesterday, but he's a dude.
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna make some things have happens. Number seven
Speaker 1: is another one. Yeah, I mean they just have a
Speaker 1: And it's not just like I'm gonna make a play here, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a change that's gonna be a game
Speaker 1: changing play that's gonna win that that's gonna help us
Speaker 1: win the game. It sounds like they got a tally
Speaker 1: board they do man in the locker room, right, it
Speaker 1: makes a big play. Yeah, I got another one for
Speaker 1: you twenty seven. Jay, Yeah, played well, man, that guy
Speaker 1: has been playing extremely well. And he's another one, I
Speaker 1: mean him, and you know he there was I think
Speaker 1: everybody was fine. There was he at the moment. It happens.
Speaker 1: But even on the sideline in the middle of the game,
Speaker 1: there were some guys going back and forth and upset
Speaker 1: about on defense playing and you know, um and Parsons
Speaker 1: was in there, and Curse was in there, and Casey
Speaker 1: was in there. I mean, those guys were you know
Speaker 1: in Casey's another guy. He's a he's a smaller guy,
Speaker 1: but he's not afraid to mix it up in there.
Speaker 1: You know, he had a questionable play there at the end.
Speaker 1: That it happens. It happens. It didn't happen with you,
Speaker 1: I trust me, dogs, it happens. It does. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't just exactly. And hey, Cherry Vaughn took it.
Speaker 1: He said, it's on me. It's on me. He goes,
Speaker 1: I didn't go for the ball. It's the same it's
Speaker 1: the same play he made last week. Right, But last
Speaker 1: week it was a pick because it was because because
Speaker 1: well GLENNI through a bad ball last week, right, and
Speaker 1: he got a pick right this time, took the same angle,
Speaker 1: took a better ball, took a bad angle. Stop though, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he tried to undercut that ball. He tried to undercut
Speaker 1: it and it costs him money. And look, look, free
Speaker 1: safety should have made that play hands down because he's
Speaker 1: seeing and it wasn't like the quarterback was looking off
Speaker 1: the free safety. That play should have been made by.
Speaker 1: But then also lets you know where they're at in
Speaker 1: their relationship too. They're still figuring each other out. So
Speaker 1: as good as these guys are playing, they're still figuring
Speaker 1: each other out because I know, what are you back there?
Speaker 1: And he knows he has a dog up there at
Speaker 1: the corner. He's gonna say, I'm gonna stay back because
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna be aggressive, right, I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: him go out there and take a shot at the play.
Speaker 1: And if worst case scenario happens and he doesn't get
Speaker 1: the ball, I'm gonna be there cleaning up. And let
Speaker 1: me say this to you. Situational football. So the end
Speaker 1: of the game, right, and I get it, like you
Speaker 1: live and die by the big play. And and and
Speaker 1: that's what Dix has been doing. Like he's he's pieced
Speaker 1: of famine at times, and yesterday it was just that
Speaker 1: we just saw that at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Situational football into the game. You don't go for that
Speaker 1: double move. He runs an out, hey, let him take it.
Speaker 1: Let him have that out, But you do not get
Speaker 1: beat on a double move at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Do you think the fact that you're getting a lot
Speaker 1: of interceptions and now your confidence has got to be
Speaker 1: through the roof. Do you think that you feel like
Speaker 1: he can just get every ball, like like he's jumping
Speaker 1: and getting you know, and you know what I'm telling him.
Speaker 1: If I'm a coach, you know what I'm telling go
Speaker 1: get it now. I'm not telling everybody that, but that
Speaker 1: dude is different. But you just no, no, don't do
Speaker 1: that like suuation football. Just understand like he should just
Speaker 1: as a football player. No, look, man, we're up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't give up a doubt. I just got an
Speaker 1: interception outre I'm gonna kill me. Yeah, the out is
Speaker 1: not gonna beat me. Right, let's give up the out.
Speaker 1: That's fine, But don't get beat at that point of
Speaker 1: the game. But there's gonna be other parts parts of
Speaker 1: that game. First second third quarter man where you tell
Speaker 1: your dogs to go hunt, go make those plays because
Speaker 1: you got certain guys that can do that. You Randy
Speaker 1: Gregor can probably could do some things free lancing, Uh,
Speaker 1: probably freelance a little bit. Number eleven can probably freelance
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I'm not telling everybody to do
Speaker 1: so I know who I got. I remember a Guyan Sanders.
Speaker 1: You just said, hey, man, go do you, bro. We'll
Speaker 1: see you after the game. Like, just go do you
Speaker 1: and we'll deal with it after me. And that's what
Speaker 1: you're starting to have on this football team. You're you're
Speaker 1: getting guys that just aren't just consistent football players, You're
Speaker 1: getting dynamic players that are able to make plays for you. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of dynamic, I mean earlier on you mentioned the
Speaker 1: four in one, and that's something you know, play calling
Speaker 1: and the decision making of this coach and some of
Speaker 1: the things that sometimes it works into the advantage, but
Speaker 1: then some other times it just you know, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna get criticized one way or another. It's gonna get criticized.
Speaker 1: So I want to get your opinion about the play
Speaker 1: calling and how aggressive Mike McCarthy has been so far
Speaker 1: right this game, something that we were asking for years
Speaker 1: with Jason Garrett and now we're getting it. And then
Speaker 1: at the same time, you just can't police everyone's right.
Speaker 1: I wasn't a fan of the first quarter that that
Speaker 1: play call backed up on your side of the field
Speaker 1: against Belichick, against a game against a team that you
Speaker 1: know that you need to get up on because if
Speaker 1: he has a game close, he's just gonna outphysical you.
Speaker 1: You know, I know, I know for Belichick, those guys
Speaker 1: went thirteen personnel for their whole first drive and scored
Speaker 1: like it was nothing. Three tight ends. Who does that, right, So,
Speaker 1: knowing that you're facing a team like that, I'm not
Speaker 1: a fan of Kellen Moore and obviously we didn't we
Speaker 1: didn't convert on it right and that first quarter, so
Speaker 1: that I'm not a fan of putting us in that
Speaker 1: situation right off the back in that kind of environment.
Speaker 1: But you know, later on in terms of the fourth
Speaker 1: and one, third down was a touchdown, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So now you go to fourth and one,
Speaker 1: you understand from the fans perspective, people might be asking, well,
Speaker 1: why did he jump over the pile? Coach just called
Speaker 1: a sneak right. Dak decided to jump over the pile, right,
Speaker 1: So that's that's a decision that's made by him. He
Speaker 1: just has to figure out how to hold onto the
Speaker 1: ball or go another way. Yeah, I mean the third
Speaker 1: down and everybody on Twitter was like, you're crazy, craziest touchdown.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I get it, but like where? I mean,
Speaker 1: I yes, his body seems to be across and I
Speaker 1: don't think he's holding the ball in his crotch. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's got it down there.
Speaker 1: I think he's got it up here. That seems like one. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. I mean, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: He might he might have it there, but I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm assuming if his ass is here, his body's here,
Speaker 1: the ball's got to be down here, and we didn't
Speaker 1: see it. There's no way you're gonna get it. There's
Speaker 1: no camera angle that would have that would have seen that.
Speaker 1: The only thing that you have is some kind of
Speaker 1: way that the I T Department puts a tracker in
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, the NFL had enough money to put
Speaker 1: because then you guys not worry about cheating. So I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do that. The Patriots. Um well, I mean
Speaker 1: it was funny before the game was beautiful day out there?
Speaker 1: What was You don't always say that it's a beautiful day,
Speaker 1: and then you look around and then like right before kickoff,
Speaker 1: here's a couple of dark clouds coming in. I'm like,
Speaker 1: the what's going on? Yeah? You know, look man, I
Speaker 1: think you know, there's been some times where I've had
Speaker 1: I've questioned to play not not only not so much
Speaker 1: the play calling, but the managing of time of the
Speaker 1: play clock. And I've you know, I've had some issues
Speaker 1: with McCarthy and that at that instance, I didn't have
Speaker 1: a problem with him going on for it on fourth
Speaker 1: and one, not even earlier in the game or later.
Speaker 1: I just like, there's a true belief. I think there's
Speaker 1: a belief in the system now, and I think he
Speaker 1: firmly believes in the players. Yeah, it's easy for many
Speaker 1: second guess it. And after after it happened, I was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell, I can't believe you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I was upset about it afterwards as being an armchair
Speaker 1: or quarterback, But at the same time, I was like, look, man,
Speaker 1: this you know we've asked for this. You just said
Speaker 1: it earlier. We've been asking for this, for an aggressive
Speaker 1: play caller or an aggressive coach to go after it
Speaker 1: when it's fourth and inches or fourth and one or whatnot,
Speaker 1: even backed up, we've been asking for this, and now
Speaker 1: we got it. And now that we got it, there's
Speaker 1: still got your naysayers out there who are playing you know,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have did. We can't do this and do that. Look, man,
Speaker 1: this is how they're built. I am I This. What
Speaker 1: you see now is what you're going to get the
Speaker 1: rest of this season. And you know, the thing about
Speaker 1: it is is that I feel what I like about
Speaker 1: it is is it doesn't feel like they make these
Speaker 1: decisions on fourth down. I said this a million times.
Speaker 1: I don't play pool very well, but if I did,
Speaker 1: you know, the greatest pool players are the ones that
Speaker 1: play two three shots ahead. So you got you gotta
Speaker 1: know what this we're gonna do. And so on second down,
Speaker 1: second and eight, I'm like, am I going forward if
Speaker 1: it's fourth and one or two? Yeah? Probably so that
Speaker 1: you call that way on second you call that way
Speaker 1: on third down, third and goal from the four, I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I know I'm going for it, maybe I'll run
Speaker 1: a draw, right, maybe I'll score, maybe it gets to
Speaker 1: the one, but then I'm going for it. So I
Speaker 1: feel like they do that more. They kind of have
Speaker 1: it in their head of how they want to do it.
Speaker 1: And and and hey, Kellen risk you have four down?
Speaker 1: Tis right? That's right. But then even on third and
Speaker 1: it's third and short, they're running up to the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage real quick, trying to get this, you know,
Speaker 1: just to see what they have and then not ever
Speaker 1: work that like rush rush rush. I don't ever feel
Speaker 1: like that work. You know what it does. It does
Speaker 1: put the defense on its heels a little bit to
Speaker 1: start to think, Okay, I can't bring people in a
Speaker 1: different personnel in. So now it's third in two. Ill
Speaker 1: used to give them big boys in. Now I can't
Speaker 1: do that because they're rustled. They're up to the line
Speaker 1: really quick. So now I gotta be set. Now I'm
Speaker 1: showing you what I'm what I'm in. Yeah, now Dad
Speaker 1: gets a good picture of it. It looks at the sideline.
Speaker 1: They figure it out if they want to, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever they want to do. But I don't have a
Speaker 1: problem with them. Even on fourth down. You just sort
Speaker 1: of know if it's fourth and one. They may just
Speaker 1: run up to the you know, get up there and
Speaker 1: snap it or try to hardcount. It keeps you on
Speaker 1: your toes all the time as a defense. Now let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and take an early break, and when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna talk not necessarily penalties by these
Speaker 1: rest specifically, but just penalties overall. Especially in the old

Speaker 1: an episode it's episode forty three. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: Fans care about this episode forty three, and we do
Speaker 1: A former Cowboy player. Hold, I'm sorry, we have guests
Speaker 1: here today. Don't have time. But if one of the
Speaker 1: players actually that I pick played for okay forty three,
Speaker 1: couple of Ring of on Earthcliff Harris and John Perkins.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with Isael Reese is forty three.
Speaker 1: Cinciba was up there, but I'm going with Isael Reid.
Speaker 1: He's my number forty three. Sorry to slow down the show.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are some fans. There are fans all
Speaker 1: the time, like what happened to forty What happened did
Speaker 1: you do Bill Bates or mccraige, Which one? I was like, both?
Speaker 1: We did both, So I see an Elvis Patterson Evis
Speaker 1: Patterson three, no doubt forty three? Um, but we did.
Speaker 1: We did twenty eight. It was like it was like,
Speaker 1: I mean, is there anybody else? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Felix Jones, Yeah, Felix Jones twenty eight. Men, I have
Speaker 1: a problem with it, man, And sorry, I'll ask you
Speaker 1: at um. Sorry, I'm sorry to put you on the
Speaker 1: air like that. Yeah, you're gonna say that now. But
Speaker 1: it was it was surprising to be because they don't
Speaker 1: usually put safeties in in twenty I mean they made
Speaker 1: running backs and stuff like that, but I mean I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen a lot of safeties. Yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: only one that was available. Is either out of forty
Speaker 1: five and forty five was ugly? Forty five? My first
Speaker 1: you were in preseason? Yes, first preseason game. I had
Speaker 1: warned I was wearing forty five. I was like, this
Speaker 1: ain't Appeah, were you eighty six the whole time? Here? Yeah? Here?
Speaker 1: And then he went, I'll tell you what when you
Speaker 1: when you signed with the Patriots, Bill Belichick signed you
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Everybody here was like, oh crap, what
Speaker 1: did we just waste a quarterback? Because Belichick just got
Speaker 1: him as a quarterback? What were we doing the whole time?
Speaker 1: So yeah, crazy times. I can't believe they beat them,
Speaker 1: Misterday honestly, I mean, and that's who they beat. They
Speaker 1: didn't beat those players. Those players are decent guys. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have a last squad. They beat him, and I
Speaker 1: mean that that's impressive. They've never done it before. Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about some mistakes. There were several yesterday, but
Speaker 1: putting aside the whole refs situation, putting outside, those Cowboys
Speaker 1: still made some mistakes on their own. So that was
Speaker 1: on them now if we're looking to clean up things,
Speaker 1: and to me, my main concern right now is that
Speaker 1: old line that could be the one really affecting this
Speaker 1: offense in general. What should the Cowboys or Fens be
Speaker 1: worried about? This concern specifically some of those mistakes that
Speaker 1: they're making bettering guys making mistakes that it shouldn't be making.
Speaker 1: I don't think you say it shouldn't be making. I
Speaker 1: mean those those guys are professionals as well. Right, those
Speaker 1: guys are big and strong. We knew that going to
Speaker 1: the game. They're d line their front seven. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're always gonna be big and physical in New England.
Speaker 1: That's what they're built off of. So they had their
Speaker 1: hands full. Those guys are gonna be relentless. So our
Speaker 1: office and line just got out of position. Sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: you see hot get you know, kind of kind of
Speaker 1: thrown around these guys. Are these guys are stronger than him? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's just being out physical. They're they're going
Speaker 1: you're going to face guys like that. When you face
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, guess what, he's gonna be quicker than you. Right,
Speaker 1: It's just it's just certain guys like that. So we
Speaker 1: have to be able to scheme either scheme those things
Speaker 1: up or digger heels in the ground and figure out
Speaker 1: a way to put yourself in position to hold them
Speaker 1: off long enough to not put yourself in a bad position.
Speaker 1: But you know, we saw a number of times there
Speaker 1: they was just blatant holding. Oh my good, Connor was
Speaker 1: basically grab to duck back. But you know, look it's
Speaker 1: again you just said it, man, Like when you get
Speaker 1: beat sometimes you gotta do whatever whatever it takes. There
Speaker 1: were a couple of calls though on tiring that I
Speaker 1: just couldn't understand, Like, yeah, really, like they weren't that
Speaker 1: obvious of calls. I mean, it's some of these calls
Speaker 1: happen all the time. These defensive ends are just learning
Speaker 1: to put their head back. Yeah, look like, oh he
Speaker 1: must be getting choke slammed here if his head's back.
Speaker 1: But you can't exactly yeah, but flopping Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: but you can't honestly when you look at you know
Speaker 1: what they look like up front. There were times in
Speaker 1: this game where they were getting beaten. Uh, they just
Speaker 1: did whatever it took to keep them off a dak.
Speaker 1: But again, at some point they're gonna start playing better teams,
Speaker 1: and the season as a season prolongs and then they
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, they gotta play better. We got
Speaker 1: to find a way to eliminate the flags because it's
Speaker 1: it's obviously hurting this football team. Yeah, I mean, And
Speaker 1: it was one of those games where you got to
Speaker 1: kind of every game has a life of its own,
Speaker 1: you know, and I felt like this was one where
Speaker 1: you have to adjust to it. I mean, Connor's got
Speaker 1: to adjust to me. Three weeks ago. This may not
Speaker 1: have been a holding Pelley. Maybe they don't call that.
Speaker 1: They're calling it here, and they let them know early
Speaker 1: they were calling it. I mean, I was like, Cowboys
Speaker 1: are up seven to nothing here and it's not on
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. It's the dang penalties. It was seven to nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like turning around, I'm figuring out, you know. I was
Speaker 1: surprised that the two and three Patriots team that can't
Speaker 1: beat anybody, you know, that was worth or a crap
Speaker 1: at all. But they're so disciplined and they haven't committed
Speaker 1: a penalty. It was like, certainly it's gonna even out
Speaker 1: here at some point, and it did it. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: There was a play earlier on in that game where
Speaker 1: I think somebody got face masks. One of the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Brown grabbed the face mask and they didn't cry on Jackson.
Speaker 1: That was not a Yeah, absolutely, it was Ballow the
Speaker 1: one down the goal line. Yeah that was bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was great defense, but hey, it worked with our band.
Speaker 1: It's true, so freaking annoying because it's like, Okay, it
Speaker 1: did work at the end of the game the day
Speaker 1: the Cowboys won that game, but it's like, okay, you
Speaker 1: go back to there are so many other games where
Speaker 1: we constantly keep talking about refs and this is not
Speaker 1: well balanced and all that, and I just I really
Speaker 1: don't know how you fix it, because if the Cowboys
Speaker 1: lost that game, I mean, how freaking a so today,
Speaker 1: based on everything that happened, that was absolutely unfair and
Speaker 1: so it's mean to that point, I mean, just what
Speaker 1: he was saying, that's when you're playmakers, right, and that's
Speaker 1: when you see the grit and the character of this team,
Speaker 1: when you got your dogs that show up and Gregory right,
Speaker 1: they get they get they get a call on Gregor
Speaker 1: or they lacked their f call and he comes back
Speaker 1: the next play he's like, all right, you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: call this all right, watch we watch this, right, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna run through this dud's chest. Right, That's that's
Speaker 1: what he's talking about, he says, the dog right, he
Speaker 1: just turned it on, Right, you got this there, turned
Speaker 1: it on. You got other dudes after Cedric turned it
Speaker 1: on right, Gifford glue Gifford from m I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: a play. I'm coming up the middle. I'm I don't
Speaker 1: know how he got through there, but guess what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make a play. So that's how you overcome those things.
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be games where you're just not getting
Speaker 1: the call. Every single one of us who played have
Speaker 1: had those games, which was just like, oh, okay, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those, right, And then that's when
Speaker 1: that's when you have to look at your team as
Speaker 1: and be like, all right, we usually have to ball out.
Speaker 1: We got to just make it so indisputable that these
Speaker 1: guys can't call anything right. And that's what you saw
Speaker 1: happening yesterday. Guys took over the game. Playmakers still just
Speaker 1: stood up. And it wasn't always the guys that you
Speaker 1: always talk about that show up on our dog on highlights. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you mentioned Luke Giffer. Let's go ahead and give
Speaker 1: a shout out to special teams. And because we have not,
Speaker 1: I would have never in a million years, I would
Speaker 1: have never have thought the Cowboys would have blocked a
Speaker 1: punt yesterday because when you look at it, just look
Speaker 1: at bellet check throughout the years. Man, they always win
Speaker 1: that phase of the game. And that's one part of
Speaker 1: the game that you know that well, chalking up the
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna win a special time and it was
Speaker 1: it was surprising that they got the block. But but
Speaker 1: not only that, but it was like back and forth
Speaker 1: our special teams concerned was concern, Man, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be leveled out. This was an even matchup. Yet I
Speaker 1: started laughing because I was like a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago when we went for the pump block, yeah, and
Speaker 1: we got a penalty. Everybody was like, oh, how dare
Speaker 1: Fossil called us? Nobody gonna say that now, right, Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody talking about that? And you know, and because that happened,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, and you know, everyone thinks this guy
Speaker 1: is kind of weird and he's he's he's out there
Speaker 1: and all that talking about John Fossil. But their special
Speaker 1: teams has they've played well, I mean very quiet as
Speaker 1: it's kept. Their punter is good. I mean, Brian Anger
Speaker 1: is a good punter. And I've said this before and
Speaker 1: I said it on a wrote an article or five
Speaker 1: places to remember the overtime won the game. I mean
Speaker 1: when they lost the coin toss. I actually looked over
Speaker 1: at Robin Dave and I said, this is actually a
Speaker 1: good thing because you get they'll get the ball. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna go seventy again. He's already done it once
Speaker 1: this month. He ain't doing it again. So you get
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, they get the ball, you get
Speaker 1: the wind, they get a first down. They punted it.
Speaker 1: I mean they're punting out the forty six yard line.
Speaker 1: That should be a fair catch at the eight. Put
Speaker 1: them back, got out to the twenty. It was the wind.
Speaker 1: So Cowboys come out of twenty, they're in great shape.
Speaker 1: Go eighty yards for the touchdown. I mean that right
Speaker 1: there was I thought a huge play in the game
Speaker 1: because the wind. It wasn't it wasn't like you know,
Speaker 1: a dust storm, but it was noticeable swirls. For those
Speaker 1: that never played in there, they have one opening in
Speaker 1: that stadium. Air comes in here and it circulates and
Speaker 1: it's sometimes it exit sometimes, but it's tough. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: before we go on our final break, do you want
Speaker 1: to just go ahead and ask Darian again that question. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: what I was talking about, by facing good teams down
Speaker 1: the stretch, you know they got eleven games to go,
Speaker 1: and so we still feel like this is relatively early
Speaker 1: in the year as it stands right now based off
Speaker 1: of what we think we know about the league. There
Speaker 1: are two teams on the schedule that you would call good,
Speaker 1: and one of them isn't actually playing well. But they're
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and they got my homes and any Reid
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a tough game. You know, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough game. I think that we could call
Speaker 1: that that's a good football team. Been the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: two years in a row, Arizona's undefeated after that. Who
Speaker 1: would you say, is like, that's a good team. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't have the schedule in front of Well, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying they're look at say quarterback mentality, but quarterback
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yeah, but I'm not saying that they're not
Speaker 1: gonna get beat because they could got beating yesterday. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Look I'm still looking at if I'm just looking at
Speaker 1: the games right now, like the Broncos up until the
Speaker 1: last couple of games, we played extremely well, right and
Speaker 1: then I'm looking at the Vikings. They have to go
Speaker 1: still have to go up to Minnesota, play to win
Speaker 1: that game, right, I'm not talking about the tough environments.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a good teams. I don't think THATSO
Speaker 1: is decent right now they're three and three, but you
Speaker 1: never know how things start to I get it, guys,
Speaker 1: that teams get healthy and you already this is your problem, Dick,
Speaker 1: you already want to overlook everyone. No, I'm not just
Speaker 1: like this is not the SEC or Pack twelve or
Speaker 1: whatnot when you have some couple. Why are you putting
Speaker 1: those two conferences in the same sentence. But I'm just
Speaker 1: find the Vanderbilt right, Yeah, I can find that man
Speaker 1: Lamar University. Now, I just think that that every week's
Speaker 1: going to be a challenge. But still because this is
Speaker 1: still a young team. Uh. The other part of it
Speaker 1: is how long are the Cowboys going to stay healthy?
Speaker 1: They're at the quarterback position, the number one position right now,
Speaker 1: there's some question mark right now. Right so I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the schedule. I could care less about who they
Speaker 1: have coming up, who might be a tough one. My
Speaker 1: concern was can I stay healthy, can we continue to
Speaker 1: get better? And can we win the East? That should
Speaker 1: be the goals number one. But my points at that
Speaker 1: is I'm not overlooking anything. My point is is that
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna face some good teams and all
Speaker 1: that they are the good team. Yeah, they are. They
Speaker 1: are the good teams. They are probably better than every
Speaker 1: one of those teams except for maybe Kansas City. We'll
Speaker 1: see about Arizona at the end of the year. I mean,
Speaker 1: but they're playing great right now. But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: they are an elite team, and we kind of keep
Speaker 1: waiting for well, when they come to town or when
Speaker 1: he comes to town, it's like, no, it's not they
Speaker 1: face the Isn't that what isn't that what we want
Speaker 1: to see now? Of course, like we've gotten to the
Speaker 1: point to where the expectations for the Cowboys were early on,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not sure. Now we're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is like one of the best teams
Speaker 1: in the league. Now the expectation is, Okay, I can't
Speaker 1: wait for my homes to come into really test team, right. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, but that way, that's you know, you have something. Specially,
Speaker 1: it's so hard to have that kind of mentality. Like
Speaker 1: even now, it's like, Okay, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: too comfortable. I don't want to feel too confident because
Speaker 1: you've been hurt so many times as a fan watching
Speaker 1: these games that even now it's just a hesitation to
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, this is really happening, this is really happen.
Speaker 1: Here's gonna be the problem with the fans because they
Speaker 1: may they may drop one to someone, right, maybe maybe watched,
Speaker 1: maybe they got to go to New York next time
Speaker 1: in New York thumped them, Right, it's a part of it.
Speaker 1: I remember being uh, having a super Bowl caliber team
Speaker 1: that I told you this before, the Los Angeles Rams
Speaker 1: back then were the Los Angeles Rams came to town
Speaker 1: and they I think they won two or three games
Speaker 1: that year. We were a super Bowl caliber team. They
Speaker 1: came into Texas Texas Stadium and thumped us. It's like
Speaker 1: that sometimes it was it was a close game, but
Speaker 1: they were just they were terrible. They were terrible. It's
Speaker 1: just sometimes, man, it's like they always say, any given Sunday, man,
Speaker 1: if you don't come up, you ain't on your toes. Ye,
Speaker 1: things happen. You know why you lost that game? Why
Speaker 1: Charles Hay they didn't play? Oh I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: That's all one guy was out. Yeah, I mean, but
Speaker 1: but I mean it was he was playing great that
Speaker 1: year and then I think he didn't play in that
Speaker 1: game or didn't play a lot in that game, and
Speaker 1: he lost a Jim Everett in the Rams twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty three, Yeah, the game. They got over at the game.
Speaker 1: I was a young kid. But ninety five, he went
Speaker 1: twelve and four, ninety went twelve and four and one
Speaker 1: went the Super Bowl, lost to the Redskins, because that's
Speaker 1: what they were called. Uh, four and twelve. They beat
Speaker 1: you'all twice. Yeah, yeah, you know it happens in the NFC.
Speaker 1: Does it happens? So, I mean your business, Yeah, take
Speaker 1: care of all right, Well let's take our final break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll just keep this conversation going.

Speaker 1: to the break Um. Earlier on the show, we kind
Speaker 1: of talked about Dak's injury and we're still kind of
Speaker 1: standby waiting on what's the status and update on that.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Tynan Smith a little bit. I mean,
Speaker 1: he did return to the game earlier on. He had
Speaker 1: been dealing with neck injury earlier in the in the week,
Speaker 1: and then now we got the h is it an ye? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because yeah, so yeah, I talked to him. I talked
Speaker 1: to him after the game. I did think it was
Speaker 1: funny though. Did y'all see you on one of the
Speaker 1: field goals that a zeroline was like a forty five
Speaker 1: yarder and he's about to kick and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: this guy you see him running like in the end
Speaker 1: zone of like, it's Tyron Smith. He's just like running
Speaker 1: back onto the field. So um, that's so to not
Speaker 1: be overlooked. That's the difference in culture. As we talked about.
Speaker 1: You know, Darren said this team wouldn't have won that
Speaker 1: game last year. It's so true. And when I used
Speaker 1: the term culture, a lot because it's important. Last year,
Speaker 1: he probably would have just stayed out. You think, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely come back for what, Like what am I missing
Speaker 1: out on? Right? I'm just I'm saying. I mean, it
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good. I know it doesn't sound good, but
Speaker 1: I'm just being transparent with everybody that was Where were
Speaker 1: they And at that point when he got out in
Speaker 1: the game, yeah, I mean it was like third quarters,
Speaker 1: like seventeen fourteen. I think the field goal made it
Speaker 1: twenty to fourteen. Yeah, But I'm just talking just to
Speaker 1: the fact that some guys get hurt. Everybody gets hurt, right,
Speaker 1: But when guys get injured, it's like if I can
Speaker 1: come back from it. Sometimes, depending on how the situation
Speaker 1: of the game is, a team, guys are like, m yeah,
Speaker 1: I just rather not. And then there's then there's times
Speaker 1: where you have a team like this where you want
Speaker 1: to like I'm missing something, like I don't let me
Speaker 1: get back out there, let me go help because I
Speaker 1: don't want to miss anything. I don't I want to
Speaker 1: make sure I make his a contribution to this team.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what you're seeing with these guys.
Speaker 1: If guys can go guys or guys are trying to
Speaker 1: hurt him and get back on the field. I'd like
Speaker 1: to respectfully disagree because of Tyrn Smith. I don't know
Speaker 1: him personally. I don't know him personally. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he battled last year. Last year exactly, it was week
Speaker 1: I mean, he missed two games in a row with
Speaker 1: he said that he's battling with the neck injury. And
Speaker 1: then week four, they're one and two. They go play Cleveland.
Speaker 1: He said, I'm playing. Yeah, he plays, locks it down,
Speaker 1: probably grades out as good as anybody. Then has neck
Speaker 1: surgery and he's out. He didn't play. I mean, he
Speaker 1: played great. He probably felt like crap, but he still
Speaker 1: gutted it up. And I agree with what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I think he's an exception to a role. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's a human. I mean I think he
Speaker 1: might be a robot. Yes, And I can't speak to
Speaker 1: him in particular, but I'm talking about him, Yeah, him
Speaker 1: and he. But I get your point. I mean it's
Speaker 1: that whole Remember Ricky Waters that there was that famous
Speaker 1: play when why didn't you die for the ball? And
Speaker 1: he said for who? For what? You know? And he
Speaker 1: said that it was his favorite quote. But it's like that.
Speaker 1: It was like, for who for what? What am I
Speaker 1: coming back for? What am I? Because this is what happens.
Speaker 1: People forget this stuff. People want to say, you make millions,
Speaker 1: everyone's a millionaire. To fans, everyone's a millionaire, which they're
Speaker 1: up there, but they're you know, but but they think
Speaker 1: they got to give it all out all the time,
Speaker 1: even if you Ronnie Lott played with a broken or
Speaker 1: a finger got cut off. I get it. But you
Speaker 1: know what also happens when you go out there in
Speaker 1: a contract year and you play okay, but you're hurt,
Speaker 1: you're banged up, you don't look good. Now you put
Speaker 1: bad tape out there too, So now you're like, well,
Speaker 1: is this guy's he really have it anymore? Is he retired?
Speaker 1: Is he still So there's a lot of factors involved
Speaker 1: with playing with injuries and stuff like that. I remember
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Ware fought through a whole season and and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden it was like, well he's done, he's
Speaker 1: washed up. Look at look at it on tape when
Speaker 1: he was playing through stuff. Um, I think he did
Speaker 1: okay in Denver from what I remember. If we found well,
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about the
Speaker 1: defense in general, and you know past defense, run defense,
Speaker 1: a defense that's like bann don Bray type of defense.
Speaker 1: Just when I get your overall thought and opinion so
Speaker 1: far with this kind of defense that we're seeing that
Speaker 1: dan Quinn has been able to start converting and turning
Speaker 1: into something else a lot better than what we had
Speaker 1: last year. I like it. I mean they are what
Speaker 1: I I personally expected them to be, which is fast,
Speaker 1: physical team. Um that's you know, playing playing their roles
Speaker 1: at him. He's putting his guys in position to be successful.
Speaker 1: I think yesterday we faced what the probably we're probably
Speaker 1: our weak spot right and obviously we expect that out
Speaker 1: of New England. But they outphysicaled us in certain aspects
Speaker 1: of that game. And I think that any teams that
Speaker 1: have that type of personnel that can that can have
Speaker 1: that that authority over us, I think they're going to
Speaker 1: definitely try to highlight that. They're definitely gonna go back
Speaker 1: watch that film a circle that say we can outphysical
Speaker 1: these guys up front. Obviously we're not at full steam
Speaker 1: that we're missing we're missing three dogs up there. We're
Speaker 1: missing Gallimore, were missing d Law and Hill hasn't came
Speaker 1: back yet either, but I think we get stronger. But
Speaker 1: I think if there's one area where teams can really
Speaker 1: just just hand to hand us to business, and I
Speaker 1: think it is if just utilizing their peer size. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you're right. I mean, because you have to
Speaker 1: give up something. We talked about it two weeks ago
Speaker 1: with like Carolina their defense is super fast. Well can
Speaker 1: if that's the case, can you just run them over?
Speaker 1: You know? And then we did so, so you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta play it, you gotta find it, you know,
Speaker 1: ways to do both. I think what's been so impressive
Speaker 1: is the fact that you know, Michael Parsons can play
Speaker 1: so many different roles, but you gotta remember to be
Speaker 1: able to do that. It means you gotta be able
Speaker 1: to learn different roles and also it means other guys
Speaker 1: have got to switch to And I think I think
Speaker 1: it's been a real impressive how they're utilizing him. And
Speaker 1: you know, yesterday he I did an interview with him
Speaker 1: after the game. He wasn't happy. M I think he
Speaker 1: feels like he needs to be making more plays, and
Speaker 1: not like mad at the coaches or anything, just mad
Speaker 1: that he didn't play a better game. And so usually rookies,
Speaker 1: you know, you get excited that they got the wins,
Speaker 1: a big win, and he wasn't satisfied at all. So
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good thing. Yeah, for you
Speaker 1: don't want to be that. You don't want to be
Speaker 1: the guy on the outside, you know, looking in talking
Speaker 1: about I didn't make a play. Seemingly everybody else is
Speaker 1: making plays, and you know, from him, all he's ever
Speaker 1: known is being being the guy. You know, even in
Speaker 1: college obviously he was the guy. As soon as he
Speaker 1: came to the NFL. Who was he? He's the guy? Right,
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about all the plays he's making, how versatile
Speaker 1: he is, and then all of a sudden he has
Speaker 1: a game where yeah, I'm just sitting here and watching
Speaker 1: everybody else make plays. You know, well, well, as long
Speaker 1: as you're not the guy that we're talking about in
Speaker 1: a bad way, like oh look what he did? Look
Speaker 1: at that miss tackle and stuff like, I mean, you're competitive,
Speaker 1: speak to his competitives, right. He wants that, he wants
Speaker 1: to be the guy. He wants to have an impact,
Speaker 1: he wants to make a contribution to this team. And
Speaker 1: as when you're playing on a team. You want to
Speaker 1: make sure that you make a deposit. Right, what did
Speaker 1: I do that helped that assisted in us winning this game?
Speaker 1: Because if you're just out there just doing your assignment,
Speaker 1: doing your assignment, Okay, I don't do anything really great,
Speaker 1: you feel in your head, you're like, they're gonna bring
Speaker 1: ten guys out next week to try out for this team.
Speaker 1: They can just swap me out for one of these guys.
Speaker 1: Not to say that parsons that guy, but that's just
Speaker 1: your rent desk, should be your mentality. So you want
Speaker 1: to always make sure that you have some form of
Speaker 1: an impact on the game that coach can put the
Speaker 1: little laser on the screen and say, yeah, great job
Speaker 1: right here. And if you feel like you walk away
Speaker 1: from a game and you didn't have that moment, yeah
Speaker 1: it's gonna eat at you. That's good. We haven't always
Speaker 1: had that, yeah, you know, and I know that when
Speaker 1: talking talking about linebackers and people that you know what
Speaker 1: kind of mood that they're in after the game. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had we had a guy here. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: no mistakement Jalen Smith. People didn't like the way he
Speaker 1: carried himself win or lose his perspective. I'll say this,
Speaker 1: his perspective on life was different than others because he
Speaker 1: was laying face down in on a turf saying that
Speaker 1: you'll ever be able to play again, and you lost
Speaker 1: all this money, and he was able to get back
Speaker 1: and he used that perspective to get himself back. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it always kind of went
Speaker 1: against him, I get it. And he was annoying at
Speaker 1: times when he did that. I get it. Um. I
Speaker 1: also saw a couple of plays from the high up
Speaker 1: at the press box yesterday. Oh look at him in space,
Speaker 1: Oh look at him with the packers. I saw means
Speaker 1: going around Now, I didn't see Layton Vanderesh with that meme.
Speaker 1: I mean Laton Vanterishment zact same play or did not
Speaker 1: make the zact same play linebackers in space? I mean,
Speaker 1: when does it usually work for them? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Not those yeah, not right, not those good ways.
Speaker 1: And clearly and he was out of the box and
Speaker 1: he out of the play. But I'm just saying it
Speaker 1: was funny how it was like going around look at
Speaker 1: channeling the Green Bay and I'm like, yeah, you think
Speaker 1: people were saying, did you see Layton in Dallas. It happens.
Speaker 1: It happens to those guys. Well, uh, do we have
Speaker 1: to go? Yeah, let's still have time. So okay, so
