10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: Let's go. That's a lot more fun with a live studio.

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: We are still, hopefully for the last time this year,

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: hopefully for the last time. We're still on virtual virtual lockdown.

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: We're in a virtual situation for everyone's safety until everybody

14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: clears all the COVID protocols. And that's why we are

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: not in our accustomed place on the south concourse of

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: the Forward Center at the Star. Hopefully we'll be back

17
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: there next week. Hope. So because I'm ready for some

18
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: brisket and some other lights. Oh man, I'm no kid. No, kid,

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: there are very few perks, but those have been perks.

20
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: But one of the other perks is getting to put

21
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: our guests in front of real live Cowboy fans. And

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: so hopefully we'll be able to do that again next Monday.

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: And I really wish we could do that tonight because

24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: this guy's one of my favorites because he just comes

25
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to work. He just comes to work and he doesn't

26
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: seek the spotlight. He just does his job and he

27
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: keeps on doing it and he's maybe having the best

28
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: year of his career. And so Anthony Brown, thank you

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: for your time tonight. AB. We appreciate it. Yes, sir,

30
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Can we AB? Can we still

31
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: have victory Monday even if the game was on Thursday?

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure. Okay, No, you got to

33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: keep the same, keep the same. Okay, very good, very good.

34
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: So um, it's hard for me to stay neutral. Neutral

35
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: is the word, right, AB. That's what you guys strive for,

36
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: to stay on an even keel, Yes, sir, okay, neutral

37
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: is their equanimity is a thing that I kind of

38
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: look for. And when I see the way that and

39
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: I am going to editorialize now, when I see the

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: way Anthony was treated on Thanksgiving Day, and then I

41
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: watched the Washington Las Vegas game yesterday. Oh my goodness,

42
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I am outraged on be on behalf

43
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: of Anthony Brown. I don't understand it, but it does

44
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: ab Let lead me to this question, very seriously, how

45
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: do you know how to play defensive back in the

46
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: NFL anymore? With the way the rules are called so inconsistently,

47
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: oh man, with that game yesterday. To me, it shows

48
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: that as a DV you have to keep playing aggressive,

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: You have to keep playing to your strength, and you know,

50
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: just play how you play and don't let the rest

51
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: change the way you played, because one time you might

52
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: get called. Next time you might you might not. So

53
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: you can't can't leave it in the hands, just play

54
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: your game and then whatever else happens, you just got

55
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: to live with it. So I we mentioned this, we

56
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: were talking about it before we went on the air,

57
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: but I did want to say it again publicly. I

58
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: thought that one of the most impressive things on Thursday

59
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: in New Orleans was that it was very clear from

60
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: the very beginning that you were not going to play

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: any differently than you had played all year. Than you

62
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: did on Thanksgiving, and you had done all the dozen

63
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: weeks before that. Now that to me takes some really

64
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: some real mental toughness. How do you keep from having

65
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: a game like you did on Thanksgiving not influence the

66
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: way you play in the next game. You know, as

67
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: a DV you had a short memory and you gotta

68
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: regardless of even if I didn't have that game, you

69
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: still got to come with the same intensity every week anyway.

70
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: So you know, you just bring the energy, bring the aggression,

71
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: and just make plays. Man, when you making plays, you're

72
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: having fun, and everybody want to have fun. So I

73
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: felt like the Thanksgiving game was just, you know, like

74
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: a wakeup call for me, you know, just the hone

75
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: in on your technique even more and just go harder.

76
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: But your technique is pretty solid, isn't it. I mean,

77
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: would you? I said you might be having the best

78
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: fair of your career and and this is the just

79
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: six years. Would you? And statistics, you know, interceptions are

80
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: really the only statistics they have to measure you guys,

81
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's really the most fair way

82
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: to measure how a cornerback is playing. You know, from

83
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: watching your tape listening to your coaches, how you are

84
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: handling your business every week. Do you feel like this

85
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: might be one of the best years of your career? Oh?

86
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Most definitely, you know, just weekend a week out, just

87
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: making plays on the ball, touching the ball, being in position,

88
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: and you know, just being a difference maker for the defense.

89
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like this is my most complete year

90
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: tip date, Abe, You and you and Jordan Lewis are

91
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: the old guys on the team. Now you've been around

92
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: for a while, you several years. A few years ago,

93
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: you were the young guys. Now you're you're the old

94
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: dudes on the team. What is it like now to

95
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: be a wily veteran And what's it like to play

96
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: with these young guys? And and do you feel old?

97
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Because I mean you look great. You still I know

98
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: you think you're the fastest guy on the team. Are

99
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: you still the fastest guy on the team? Like, tell

100
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: me what's going on with the defense right now? So

101
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: if I'm not the fastest, then who would be the fastest?

102
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: That's a great question. Okay, settled, settled? I feel good though,

103
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: I feel I feel I feel good, I feel real,

104
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: I still feel young. I don't feel old. At all.

105
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, you know how they do an NFL, They

106
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: try to put the years on you real quick. But Man,

107
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Man, we embraced it. We embraced it being the

108
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: leaders of the secondary. And then we added m Jay

109
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: ran back there too. He came man my year, so

110
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: he was a six year guy too, and we embraced

111
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: that and take and kept the young guys whenever they

112
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: need questions, whenever they need advice or um, you know,

113
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: any motivation moving forward. And I love it. How from

114
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, it seems like this is a

115
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: from a culture standpoint or from you know, the way

116
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: the guys fit together, both offensively and defensively. It seems

117
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: like it's changed a lot from when you first came

118
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: onto the team, was that twenty sixteen till now? Is

119
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: it changed internally? Does it feel different or there is

120
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: it a different chemistry or is that just kind of

121
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the way we perceive it from the outside now. I

122
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: would definitely say it's different. You know, it's a much

123
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: younger team now, you know their environment, it just feels different.

124
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: The energy feels different. You know, you could be yourself

125
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: and just just play ball, and it's just a different

126
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: feeling and everybody want to win, and we know we

127
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: got the talent to do it. We just want to

128
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: go out there and have fun every week and put

129
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: these wins together. There's something Shannon just touched on that

130
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: has fascinated me from about week three or four when

131
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: it became obvious that you guys were gonna maybe be

132
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: a little different than people thought, and that is you

133
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: mentioned JK jay Ron Curse, And I think that when

134
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: the years started there were eight of you in your

135
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: defensive room who were veterans who had come from other teams.

136
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: Two or three of them in the line that Brent

137
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Urban's hurt and he's out for the rest of the year,

138
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: but I think the rest of them are still you know,

139
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: his safeties and keanu'neil and so there were several of you.

140
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: I think I counted eight, and the way that you

141
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of came together as quickly as you did was

142
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: one of the most surprising things that I've seen. What

143
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: do you attribute that to? I will attribute that to

144
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: going through OTAs with each other, going through training count

145
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: you know, preseason, and spending time with each other off

146
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: the field and getting to know each other and understand

147
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: like what are what kind of person are you off

148
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: the field, not just on the field, and you know,

149
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: understand the strength and weaknesses on the field, and we communicate,

150
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: learn to play with together. That's what I would say.

151
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: And so that's happening differently that I mean, if I

152
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: went back and talk to every defensive coach for the

153
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: last ten years, forget the last six, they would all

154
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: say that that's the objective and that that's what every

155
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: team's trying to do. And you're saying that all of

156
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: those things have been different this year. Yeah, because you know,

157
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of times what coaches to say,

158
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: you guys should hang out, you know, you guys should

159
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: do more things together, but we don't do it. But

160
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: this year we're actually doing it and we actually enjoying it.

161
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: We're not just doing it because we we think we

162
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: need to do this. We want to do these things

163
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: and we want to hang out with each other and

164
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: be around each other. So that's the difference. What are

165
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: some of the things that you guys are doing off

166
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: the field or you did, you know, preseason off the field,

167
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: what are some things you guys hang out and do together.

168
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: You know, we just have to get together, you know,

169
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I had to get to get at my house for

170
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: the DBS one week. DT Darien Thompson had to get

171
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: to get at his house one week. And we still

172
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: had the dinners on Thursday nights, and you know, sometimes

173
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: we'll go up and watch the family get before meet

174
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: and start and things just small. It's small things, but

175
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: it becomes bid. Okay, So let's big picture this a

176
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: little bit. You had a six game winning streak, and

177
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: you've been around here long enough to know how fans

178
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: are in cowboy Land. So you had a six game

179
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: winning streak. They're they're tough sometimes breath they are. I've

180
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: noticed that, shat, I've noticed that. So he had a

181
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: six game winning streak. Everybody loved you. The national media

182
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: was all about you, and you're going to the super Bowl.

183
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: And then you lost three games because everybody knew that

184
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: you were going to be sixteen and one. So then

185
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: you lost three games out of five, and now your

186
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: four game lead is down to two, and now the

187
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: season really starts because you've got all these division games

188
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: in front of you. So what do you want to

189
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: say to people to tell them to just take a

190
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: chill pill? And why why? Why? What they saw before

191
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: was not a mirage and they should just be In

192
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: the words of Aaron Rodgers, they should just relax. I

193
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: would say, you know, it's a long season. You don't

194
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: want to be peeking too early. You don't want to

195
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: be you know, hitting your stride too early. I feel

196
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: like December, December, January is that perfect time to be

197
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: messed together. We got a lot of injured guys coming back.

198
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to get that chemistry back, and

199
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: it's a perfect time they hit that stride and go.

200
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: This is when you want to be playing your best ball.

201
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: So everything that happened up to now doesn't even matter anymore.

202
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: It's about what's going on now. So that's what I

203
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: would say. And Washington being hot with a four game

204
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: win streak and you're going into Washington, what what kind

205
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: of an atmosphere are you expecting Sunday? Now, I know

206
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be crazy, man, I know it's gonna be roddy. No,

207
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: they're fans just as loud as our friends. You know,

208
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: they love their team. They're gonna go crazy. Win the street.

209
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: They think they they got a chance for the division.

210
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: So we got to bring our a game. You know,

211
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: we got to come with it, lots to talk about

212
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: about how some of these people coming back to ab

213
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: is talking about are gonna influence things, and the whole

214
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: mental approach. I think this is just fascinating that this

215
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: is the way the league set it up. The late

216
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's supposed to be, you know, like fourteen and three

217
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: drama every year. This is what the league wants. It's

218
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: why all the division games get played at the end

219
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: of the year. You know, it's not just the Cowboys.

220
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, Washington's got to play Dallas twice in Philadelphia twice.

221
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: This is how they set it up. This is exactly

222
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: how the league has orchestrated it. But we know how

223
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: we feel about it from the outside. It'll be great

224
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: to have Anthony tell us what it feels like from

225
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: the player's perspective, and we'll go forward and Anthony, I

226
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: will tell you that there is a segment of the

227
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: program that we may get to right after this break.

228
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: That's Shannon's specialty, and it's gonna take a as deep

229
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: a dive as he could find into who you really are,

230
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: why Anthony Brown really is watch out. So we're gonna

231
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: put you on notice for that. Anthony Brown, the Cowboys

Speaker 1: And the Cowboys will be in Washington Sunday. And so

254
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: just before the break, I delivered this soliloquy that I

255
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: didn't know I was going to deliver. But I've been

256
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: thinking about it all day, the fact that the season

257
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: really starts now. Everybody was all excited and with good

258
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: reason for you know, in September and October. But here

259
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: we are, and the division races are there. By the way,

260
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys record is equal to the record of the

261
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: best teams in the AFC. So everybody just relax. And

262
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: so here's the division race. Ab it's all, it's all

263
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: laid out in front of you. You've got Washington twice,

264
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: and Philly and the Giants and everybody's got all the

265
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: division teams. Do you feel like the season is in

266
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: a way just really starting now? Oh yeah, most definitely.

267
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: You know December Ball, I mean, Coll McCartney preach it

268
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: every week to us, you know, after Thanksgiving. Everything from

269
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: now is crucial. Everything now it really matters, and we

270
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: want to be at our best now and we want

271
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: to be hitting that stride trying to go into the playoffs.

272
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: And so what will it mean to you guys in

273
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: the secondary as well as a defense and a hole

274
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: as a whole to You've gotten DeMarcus Lawrence back. Hopefully

275
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: you'll be able to readd Randy Gregory and Neville Gallimore

276
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: to that this week. What will that mean to the defense?

277
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean a lot, man, We'll have a lot of

278
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: bullets that's ready to fire. Man, we got a lot

279
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: of five power that's ready to come back. And then

280
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: we got a lot of five power that's already out there.

281
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: So we're just looking to get all our guys back

282
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: and just play play defense the way we know how

283
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: to play and get the offense the best opportunity to win.

284
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: And I got one more thing, obviously, the guy on

285
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: the other side of the field from you has had

286
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: a pretty good second year in the league. Got a

287
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: lot of attention. Trayvon's got all these interceptions. How has

288
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: the year he's had impacted you a lot? Man? You

289
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: know just watching him make plays? You know you and

290
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: making you want to make plays too, and you're happy

291
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: for him too because you see the work that you

292
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: put in, you know, the work that y'all put in together,

293
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: So to see things really show up on game day

294
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: and rip, we get the benefits of it. You know,

295
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: it's amazing, and I'm proud of him, and I wouldn't

296
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: keep going, and that pushed me to even be great

297
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: on my side also. Okay, so this is one of

298
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: my favorite parts of the program. It has become that

299
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: very quickly. Shannon Gross has put his stamp on it,

300
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: and it is so good now that it is officially

301
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: sponsored by Miller Lighte. It's the Miller Lighte Shannon Gross

308
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: whenever that happened. So I go in every week and

309
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: whoever our special guest is, I check out their Wikipedia page,

310
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I print it out, I bring it live to the

311
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: air and I read it for you, our guest of honor,

312
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: and then you tell me whether it's true or false.

313
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: And then I say something like, hey, I'll go in

314
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: and correct whatever's wrong, but I never do it. I

315
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: just say that i'll do it. So I'll run through

316
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: this with you and you tell me if this is

317
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: true or it needs to be up. By the way,

Speaker 1: played football, and you were a two year starter and

Speaker 1: received second team All Hillsborough County honors. True. Um, kind

340
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,040

343
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: Miller light the chug Chug. It says in your last

344
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: year you were a two way player, posting twenty five tackles,

345
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: two interceptions, three passes defense, nine hundred rushing yards, fourteen

346

Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, eighteen receptions for two hundred and thirty nine

347
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: yards and one touchdown. And this is the best part

348
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: of the whole thing. It says you also practice track.

349
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what practicing track means, so fill me

350
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: in on what that means. Well, I ran track. I

351
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: ran track for my junior year and senior year. I

352
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: was one hundred two hundred and four about one running

353
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: and I was really an offensive player until I got

354
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: to produce. So that's why I got all the offensive stats.

355
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Really really, so did you change? Did you change over? When?

356
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: Did you change over Purdue bright when you first got

357
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: there or did the coaches look at you and say hey,

358
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: We want to say, yeah, they basically they recruited me

359
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: as an athlete, but when I got there, they put

360
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: me at dB immediately and I stuck with it. You

361
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: like playing offense or defense better? I love a bottle

362
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: in my hand, But I mean, I'm a dB, so

363
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: I gotta get picks. I guess, well, I mean you're

364
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: a dB now. But what what do you think? What

365
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: have happened if they if they had made you a

366
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: receiver at Purdue? Who knows? I don't know. I mean

367
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: I think everything worked out great. That's probably that's a

368
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: great answer. This guy's been media trained. No, it's just

369
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: life experience. Did y'all did you have how what what

370
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: was your quarterback like at Purdue when you're there? Yeah, okay,

371
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: that's why we're happy we're at Okay, no names needed,

372
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: no day, might not have got drafted, all right. It

373
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: says uh Brown accepted a scholarship from Purdue University. You

374
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: became a starter as a sophomore, and as a senior

375
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: you made sixty tackles, four interceptions, and six passes on defense.

376
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: Excuse me, um, Is that true? That's true? Okay? It

377
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: says the Dallas Cowboys selected you in the sixth round

378
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: with the one hundred eighty ninth overall pick in the

379
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: two thy sixteen FL Draft draft, and you were the

380
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: twenty seventh cornerback drafted in twenty sixteen? Is that true?

381
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: That's true? All right? And then the last bit of

382
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: information here you're from Tampa, right born and raised, says

383
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,920

Speaker 1: Gardens as a snake charmer for four years up until

385
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: your senior year of high school. Okay, all right, Well

386
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: that I made that one up, and I made the

387
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: Charlie's Chocolate Factory or whatever that one was out. But

388

00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: go to the length of inventing two two two for you.

394
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: Everybody else just got one. But as a sign of respect,

Speaker 1: that they've checked their Wikipedia page, yeah, you gotta get

397
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: try to get tricky on him. He wasn't thrown off

Speaker 1: at all, by the way. An extra Miller Light for

399

00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: very nicely done. So I I you and I have

401
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: had this conversation before, maybe, but um, I will not

402
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: forget in your first couple of seasons watching you kind

403
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: of attach yourself as a student to Orlando Scandrin, who,

404
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: like you, was a low draft choice, a very productive player,

405
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: and um who made no bones about having gotten through

406
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: his career by having a chip on his shoulder at

407
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: being overlooked by so many people. Uh. And then you

408
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: told me one day that you kind of picked that

409
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: up from him, And so do you do you still?

410
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: Do you have that? Actual? Did you put that chip

411
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: on your shoulders? Now that I think about it, did

412
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: you have that? Or was that Orlando who had that

413
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: tattooed on the shoulder? That was me. And so you've

414
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: got an actual like a potato chip looking thing mm hmm,

415
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: which shoulder? All right? And was that to remind I

416
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: got the chip when I got my um, I got

417
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: a chip and I have my drive number under it.

418
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: It's just something that I wanted, something that I put

419
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: the twist to it, just to remind me where I

420
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: came from, Just to remind you who of all the

421
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: people who said they didn't think you could all right

422
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: and still due to this day, so you know you

423
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: never changed, And what kind of motivation have you gotten

424
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: from that through the years? You know, that's what That's

425
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: what driving me, pushed me, you know, just keep going

00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: and just prove all the doubters and the hater's wrong.

00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: You know that I belonged just like everybody else in

428
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: this league. I was just I was swallowing some water

429
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: there actually and wondering whether that whether that chip on

430
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: your shoulder was like barbecue or cool ranch or what,

431
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: but I kind of it was. It's a chao ruffle ship. Okay,

00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: But but what and that Anthony? You said you you

462
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: were already you'd seen the weather and you were looking

463
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: forward to watching the game, right, Yes, And that gets

464
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: me to this question. Are you a football fan? I'm

465
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: totally shocked all the time to find out how many

466
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: football players are not really football fans. They don't like

467
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: watching the game. Do you like watching football? I'm a

468
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: dialhard football fan, I'm but I'm a Dohart NFL fan.

469
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a big college fan. Were you like that

470
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: growing up? Yeah? Always? And did you have Were you

471
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: a Bucks fan or did you follow more players than teams?

472
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: I was a Buck fan about that? Speaking of speaking

473
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: of college football and pro football. Did you get recruited

474
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: by any How did you wind up at Perdue? What

475
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: was your you know, your progression from high school into

476
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: into college? What was that like? It was? It was

477
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: a little different. Um, I didn't have all the big

478
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: offers coming out. I didn't have too many. UM. I

479
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: had a lot of matt schools at first, and then

480
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: like Purdue Miami and a couple of schools uself. They

481
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: came late, but I had committed and after my junior season,

482
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: before my senior year, so that might be another reason

483
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: why too. And I stuck with it. And now I

484
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: didn't take my five visits. I took one visit when

485
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: the Purdue committed on my visit, and I just stuck

486
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: with it. I felt like it was the right place

487
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: to be, get away, get out of Florida and see

488
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: something different. So we're all those schools recruiting you as

489
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: an offensive guy or defensive guy. I believe, I believe

490
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: everybody would it would have been defense. Yeah, because I

491
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: actually went to a camp for West Virginia and they

492
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: had me playing dB also, so I think it would

493
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: have been defense. So wait, let me make sure I

494
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: got this ride. You went on one visit after your

495
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: junior year, and and that was to West Lafayette, Indiana,

496
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: and the Tampa kid took one visit and decided, Yep,

497
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: this is it. This is my little slice of heaven, right,

498
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: and then Miami comes in late and you're like, nah,

499
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna going to Purdue Abe.

500
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that that may be a questionable decision.

501
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what happened. And my mom, when my

502
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: mom went up there, she loved the school. That's what

503
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: it really matter. She loved that. She had a good

504
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: feeling about it, and they made me feel welcome, they

505
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: made me feel at home. So I went with it.

506
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did. Yeay, Hey, can't knock that all right?

507
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: With the weather you were gonna talk about, yeah, I was.

508
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: As we were looking at you know, we've got the

509
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: NFL network up over here on the screen next to you,

510
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: a b in studio, and it's it's snowing like mad

511
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: madness up in the New England area, which just got

512
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: me to thinking, you know, as a guy that travels

513
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: with the team and I'm on the sideline during the game,

514
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: if I'm going up to New England or the Northeast

515
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: or Philly or DC or New York, like, I want

516
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: to experience it. But I'm not out there throwing my

517
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: body out in front of guys. I'm not running and

518
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: grabbing with my fingers and you know, but I wanted

519
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: to snow. I wanted to. I want to feel the elements.

520
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: Are you a hey give me eighty degrees every week

521
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: and let me play? Or you a you a hey?

522
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: I want to play in football weather. I like the cold,

523
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: I like the rain, I like the mud. What's your

524
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: ideal atmosphere to play in? Now? I love all the

525
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: elements of the game, you know, I want to I

526
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: want the mud, the rain, to snow, to win. I

Speaker 1: hard football fan. I love all that about the game.

529
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Did you play in any weird I guess environmental wins

00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: or rains or we talked about it in the break,

531
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: you haven't really done it in the pros. Did you

532
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: play in any of that stuff in college? Not really?

533
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean I had a couple of snow flurries, but

534
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't like heavy snow or anything where they had

535
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: to shove the field at every time out of nothing

536
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: like that. Did y'all play in bowl games when you

00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: the right name for him. He's already sounds like he's

553
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: already given some orders. We love that. So let's uh,

554
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: let's let's talk a little bit about you've had this

555
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: break this extra sometimes it's after Thanksgiving. Sometimes the last

556
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: few years you've played the Thursday after Thanksgiving, and now

557
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: you get the little by what does your student of

558
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: rejuvenate you. I mean, it's been good for Major. I

559
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: can tell her, all right, Major, bring him, bring him

560
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: in there. I would say he's leaving. We wanted to

561
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: say it was definitely good. He ran off that. But

562
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: the break, the break, the break was good because you know,

563
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: I got to um, I got to watch football on

564
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: Sunday like a regular person and CC the game. Then

565
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: I got to wash the Washington game as a fan,

566
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: just to see how they look on TV, you know,

567
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: and it was good. You know, let your body rest

568
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: and we get to get on a regular schedule again

569
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: because we was on the Thursday schedule for the last

570
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: two weeks. So it feel good to get back on

571
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: a regular week schedule and get in our regular routine again.

572
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: And we had a couple extra days also. You can't

573
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: beat that. Yeah. See, it's really interesting to me because

574
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: the second Thursday game, and we're all familiar with this, now,

575
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: the second Thursday game, you're actually on your seven day schedule.

576
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: I was trying to tell some friends of mine, like,

577
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: you know, Tuesday is Friday, and I sent them a

578
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: text that I said, happy Friday, and it was a

579
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: different day and they didn't understand it at all. But

580
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: but so since you were on the seven day schedule

581
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: going into New Orleans, what does this just just two days,

582
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: three days? What does this three days do for you

583
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: physically and mentally? It does a lot because those two

584
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: extra usually out there Sunday game, your body really don't

585
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: come back to that Wednesday. So having those two extra

586
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: days now everybody will already be back by the time

587
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: we get into Tuesday tomorrow, and but we all tomorrow,

588
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: so it's like an extra It's like a many by week,

589
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: as we always say, and take advantage of. You know,

590
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: you want to get off the feet, try to get

591
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: healthy as much as possible, and get back to work.

592
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: You don't want to sit around for too long. Also,

593
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: don't so crazy things. We're talking about this in the

594
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: break two crazy things seem to always happen on the

595
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: road in Washington. You just played in New Orleans, which

596
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: is to me it was a very brad I don't

597
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: know what it was like up in the booth, but

598
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: it was a very subdued crowd. Usually New Orleans is

599
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: extremely loud, NonStop the whole game. It didn't seem as

600
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: crazy as it normally could. You tell about how many

601
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans were there? There were a lot? Could you

602
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: could you guys hear that and feel that down the field? Yeah,

603
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: and they start chatting Cowboys going God, Cowboys sound like

604
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: a home game? Almost? Yeah, there were there were a lot.

605
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: What is your what is your favorite stadium to play in?

606
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: Whether it's you know, just the trip or the stadium

607
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: or the fans, Like what's your favorite? Obviously At and

608
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: T Stadium is home, and it's you know, our fans

609
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: are great and they get super loud. But when you

610
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: go on the road, where where? What are your favorite

611
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: cities to travel too? So road games? Are the top

612
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: three stadiums that I played in that I like? Um,

613
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: I love the Cardinals Cardinal Stadium. I love Pittsburgh, and

614
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: I would say Lambo Cardinals surprised me with you being

615
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,959
Speaker 1: a football guy. I get Pittsburgh, I get Lambo. But

616
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: but what is it about Arizona Stadium that I had

617
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: to I had to put one down. I had to

618
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: put one done team in there, and I like I

619
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: like the grass okay, but I really love the most

620
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: about it the grass that they play on. Okay, I'll

621
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: give you that. So off the three you've got all

622
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: three division road games coming up in the next month,

623
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: which of though, which of the fan groups is nastiest?

624
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: I probably had to go Philly. How are they different?

625
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: I feel like they just says they ruthless, you know,

626
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 1: they they just like Cowboys fan They say whatever their mouth,

627
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, coming out to the tunnel, they're talking crazy.

628
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: You know, they might throw something at you if they

629
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: really man. You know, I've had to choose one. I

630
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: choose Philly. That's that's a good point, Brad. You don't

631
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: know if you're gonna you know, you're gonna get verbally

632
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: abused there. Nobody's off limits, your mom, your grandma, your kids,

633
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: and then sometimes you might get physically abused in that stadium.

634
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: So I would totally agree with that they are a

635
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: little crazier. I will say that this will be interesting

636
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: to me Sunday because it's been a while since um.

637
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: Both teams felt like they were pretty good going into

638
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: the game, and there was a lot at stake. And

639
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing like Cowboy Hayden Washington Phillies. Philly's just flat crazy.

640
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Those people are just crazy. But there's a Cowboy Hayden

641
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: Washington is really special We're gonna take one more break

642

657
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: In many ways, you can say the NFL season starts now.

658
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: Certainly does for the Cowboys. Two game lead, five games

659
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: to play, four of them are in the division, and

660
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: everything will be decided to going forward. So Anthony coach

661
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: McCarthy has said several times that this year, with the

662
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: seventeenth game, nobody kind of knows exactly how that's going

663
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: to feel. He's divided the season up into segments, and

664
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: the second one just ended. It was that stretch of

665
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: games that you had to navigate and you've been through

666
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: it before, the three games in twelve days, and now

667
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,959
Speaker 1: we're getting ready to get into this final segment, December

668
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: Division games. Does it feel different? I mean, I mean,

669
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: right now, yeah it does, but I mean I've been

670
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: through it before. I'm used to the feeling now. So

671
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: speaking of feelings, fans right now are kind of they're

672
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: they're wondering what this team is, right Like, you guys

673
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: hit a little rough spot, a little rough spot. But

674
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's every NFL team at some point

675
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: during the season. You hit a three, four or five

676
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: six game stretch where you're not gonna win every single

677
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: one of them, right You're gonna hit a little bit

678
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: of a rough patch. And I think fans right now

679
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: are kind of wondering. You guys started out of the

680
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: gate and you were just killing folks, like you were dominating,

681
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: and then you struggled a little bit the last few games.

682
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: Now you're getting healthy, do you, guys, does it feel

683
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: any different this last four or five game stretch for

684
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: you guys the fans, are you know, wondering, oh my goodness,

685
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: is this a good team? Is this a bad team?

686
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: Or do you guys just know, like, hey, this is football.

687
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: This is what's gonna happen every year at some point,

688
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: whether it's beginning, middle, end of season, we're gonna have this.

689
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: And you, guys, is it just business as usual on

690
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: your end? That's always business as usually. You know, you

691
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: don't want to put too much emphasis on one game

692
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: or a couple of games. We control our own destiny

693
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: and we're still in a good position, so we just

694
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: wanted to, like I said earlier, just start clicking at

695
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: the right time and heading to the playoffs. On the

696
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: high note, how many of you do you think know

697
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: exactly what the standings are right now? How many players

698
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: on the team? Yeah, I mean, do you do you

699
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: know what the standings are in the division and the

700
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: conference from the football Oh? Yeah, for sure I'll do

701
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: because I'm a football fanatic, so I'm looking at it anyway.

702
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: And do you think most guys I'm actually especially thinking

703
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: about the young guys because we were talking before about

704
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: the way the new veterans on the team have joined

705
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: and melded and formed such a cohesive unit, and that's hard.

706
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: And then you have the rookies, and all of these

707
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: rookies are playing important roles, whether it's whether it's Parsons

708
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: or O Diggi, Zuwa Goldston and Bohannah and now Joseph

709
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: is working in and I am wondering what as a

710
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: veteran you might say to some of these young guys

711
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: about what to expect about December football in a playoff

712
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: race and going on the road in the division. Manly,

713
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell them, you know, now is the most important

714
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: time to you know, eat healthy, trying to be healthy

715
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: as possible, you know, hone in on the film and

716
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: just be prepared because now it's not about style points anymore.

717
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: It's about wins. Now, it ain't about putting up all

718
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: the points. It's just about getting that first down or

719
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: getting off the field on third down and giving your

720
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: offense as many possessions as possible and limited them. And

721
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: that's what I'm trying to put in the young guys now.

722
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: For his December January Football, when was it about style punch?

723
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: And you know, early in the year, that's how guys

724
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl and that thing. You know, you

725
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: want to put up the numbers, you want to have

726
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: fun and do all those things. But now it's not

727
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: about having fun. It could be a ten ten ten

728
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: three game and everybody would be just cool with that.

729
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: But if it was early in the year, people would

730
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: be like, oh, we're not scoring enough points. It changes

731
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: as the year going. So, speaking of style and style points,

732
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 1: who is the most Give me three guys, the three

733
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: most stylish guys on the team. And then I have

734
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: a follow up question on game on game day or

735
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 1: off the field. Oh that's a good question both. Yeah,

Speaker 1: wear to the game. No, I'm talking about the way

742
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: were the uniform. Okay, well, what's different about what those guys?

Speaker 1: or you got the visor, your clip game or all

745

Speaker 1: that matters, you know, the color coordinate. Okay, all right, now,

00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 1: how about how about on game day? Um, off the field,

747
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,279

786
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: He coold, he dressed nice and clean. I like CJ.

787
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 1: I was just playing with him. All right, which position group?

788
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: I don't have nobody which position group dresses like? They

789
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: just really don't care what they look like. And why

790
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: do you think it's offensive? Lineman? I think offensive? It's

791
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: some offensive linement. Who could really dress though? You know,

792
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: I know, I know I was kidding too. Offensive linementice

793
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: and clean, you know, offen, nice and clean tyrants. And

794
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: although they dress clean, it's I like our dress. I

795
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: will tell you this. Connor McGovern is allergic to sleeves

796
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: when he when he gets on the charter, he never

797
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: he never has sleeves on. So he's did you hear

798
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: what he did? He wants to show those guns off,

799
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: but he is definitely allergic to sleeves because they just

800
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: fall off every time he boards the plane. So all right,

801
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: we got about a minute and a half left. We're

802
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: talking about the importance of these games, and this next

803
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: one feels super important and it's one of five left.

804
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: So how do you keep how do you keep that

805
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: neutral mentality regardless of what the outcome is? On Sunday, Man,

806
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: we look at this game like any other game this year.

807
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's an NFC Division game, you know it's

808
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: big with playoff implications on it, so we got to

809
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: be on our p's and ques, and we want to

810
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: make sure we do everything we can do to win

811
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: this game. We don't want to beat ourselves anything. We

812
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 1: want to If they beat us, they beat us head

813
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: head up square, but we want to make sure we're ready.
