So we got 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.680 four more shows and what I want to do in 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.800 those four shows is do a recap. We're gonna take 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.960 a couple positions every day and we're gonna talk about 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.520 what the Cowboys have done this offseason. We're going to 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.360 compare where they were at the end of last season 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.880 to where they are at this point and try to 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.720 see if we can shed some light on how much 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.640 they've improved or not over these last several months. Heading 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.240 into the twenty twenty three training camp this year, we'll 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.200 be out knox Nard, I assume late July or so, Brian, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.480 I hope your station's gonna let you come out and 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:27.400 we'll get a little time with you. 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.760 Yeah, they plan on it. So yeah, So we'll be 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:33.520 out there eventually one time or another. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.280 Good and we know Nick and Amber will be out there. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.280 I will be out there, so looking forward to that 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.199 later this summer. But for today, we're going to focus 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.720 in on quarterbacks and linebackers, the quarterback of the offense 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.720 and the defense. Before we do that, though, I wanted 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.000 to get some reaction from you guys. Twenty twenty three 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.320 schedule was released last week. What do you think about it? 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.800 Was anything on it that stood out to you as 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.600 far as how the Cowboys will have to approach this season? 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.080 Not really. I mean, you know, I'm kind of I 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.680 used to do that. I used to play that game 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.480 and go, oh man, this looks tough and December looks tough. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.440 I don't know who. I mean, it looks like it 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.400 could be if you're playing it now. But you know, 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.440 who knows who's healthy and all that, and how teams are. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.160 There's always two or three games that are going to 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.400 be tougher than you expecting two or three games that aren't. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.919 So you know, it's the things I look at or 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.359 just you know, just how they got to get off 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.080 to a pretty good start is what it seems like. 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.679 And then you know, just stay healthy. I mean I 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.920 think that I looked at it. They'll be favored, you know, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.639 unless things change dramatically, they'll be favored in twelve or 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.359 thirteen games. So they should go out and. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:39.320 Got a lot of night games. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.480 Man, got some night games. 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.760 Yeah, it's for guys that do postgame shows until two 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.320 in the morning. That's no fun. Well, hopefully we'll talk 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.280 about it like someone that might know something. Yeah, I 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.480 know all about that. I will say, I don't think 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.560 the league did them any favors in December. I just don't. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.359 I think when you start to talk about having you 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.720 get the game at Philadelphia at home on the tenth 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.079 and then at Buffalo Miami Detroit could be playing for 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.960 division title. You know, we'll see what happens with the 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.400 Commanders are you know, the division I think is going 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.239 to be pretty tight, So there's gonna be a gauntlet 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.079 that they're going to have to run, and I think 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.359 they catch a break on the heat in Miami, even 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.120 though you're a hot weather team here. Usually if you 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.000 go to Miami earlier in the years, we've all known, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.600 you could melt in that place. Umid hut. Yeah, so 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.000 you got a amber. I'm sorry, Christmas Eve, you're gonna 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.760 have to spend in Miami. I can think of worse 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.360 places to be. Well, he'll be in Miami. You'll be 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.480 in Miami that day. But the trip to Buffalo, as 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.880 we all know, and we've all made that trip to Buffalo, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.560 it could be it could be very daunting as is. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.760 So I don't think they did him many favors, you know, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.240 with the way that part of the schedule rolls out, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.800 because I think every one of those teams are going 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.440 to be playing for something, you know, and yes, you 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.520 would kind of hope that you had somebody in there 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.360 that wasn't playing for something like Carolina or maybe even 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.360 we'll see what the rams if they had to turn 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.920 around or anything like that. But that part of I 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.200 think is going to be difficult. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:09.080 I feel terrible because you asked that question and I'm like, uh, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.720 what did I think? Because everything that I'm looking at 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.280 it in a non football perspective. When the schedule comes out, 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.200 I'm looking at the video we produced, that you guys produced, 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:21.560 that the company put out. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:22.520 I'm looking at what. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:27.280 Other teams put out production wise. A lot of questionable 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.000 things out there that some teams decided to do. But 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.000 also I'm looking at, Okay, how many back to back 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.799 home games do we have? How many on the road games? 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.120 So I did not even look at when we're playing 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.880 what opponent because to me, which is terrible, but I mean, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.479 I just know I got to be there. I'm going 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.599 to be there for all of them. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.040 So it doesn't know, well, the two the two me personally, Yeah, 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.640 the two games to the West Coast to the San 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.839 Francisco and Chargers game back to back. It's a Sunday 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.320 night and a Monday night, correct, So that, man, that 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.120 could be a little bit of another. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.640 To get a buy immediately after that, Yeah, it kind 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.200 of helps a little. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.880 You might you're gonna you might need that buy for sure. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.240 I think, you know, the Aaron. I think getting Aaron 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.640 Rodgers out of the way in week two I think 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.080 is a good thing. Maybe the Jets haven't kind of 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.920 figured things out with him. And you never want him 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.400 to get rolled in the way he can. So maybe 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.920 that that gives you a little bit of a break 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.280 as well. 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.880 I mean you're supposed to have nine nine you know, 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.640 road games, eight home games, but you do have you 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.840 do have a break with two games that you'll have 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.040 more fans. You will, I mean you'll have more fans 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.200 in Arizona and then and uh at the other LA. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.000 So you know there will be two games that you 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.840 should be able to. You're not gonna be like it's 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.840 not like gonna be the black hole in Oakland. I mean, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.839 you know you'll have a chance to. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.359 Nose won't be the game it shouldn't be. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.600 And you're a better team. I think they're a better 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.560 team than both of those teams. So when you factor 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.120 that in, I mean that you have a couple of 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.760 opportunities to you know, to you know, have some success there. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.960 You're back. You got that Thursday to Thursday game again. Yeah, 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.280 you know that's something that you missed that last. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:07.440 Year, right. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.599 Yeah, to me, that only affects like that's like a 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.520 gamer was saying that just that only it kind of 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.520 affects like personally, like Thanksgiving, your Thanksgiving weekend, that you 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.040 wanted to have as little afterwards is a little different, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.560 but you know, you still get the break after that, 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.479 So I don't know. I don't know how much that 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.000 effects I guess it affects it so honestly for a team, 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.560 but I don't know for the team. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:28.919 I actually thought it was a little bit of an 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.039 advantage because they get that even though you got that 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.279 short week for the Thursday game, then you get a 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.200 full week for the next Thursday game, and then they 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.520 actually have a long week because they don't play until 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.960 the following Sunday and it's a Sunday night game. So 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.520 when you factor all that in, like there's actually it 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.760 makes that three week period, not the front part of 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.239 the three weeks, but the back part. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:46.560 Of the three weeks. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.200 It makes it a little easier for them to kind 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.040 of manage. I think at a time of the year 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.000 where you think you probably need that a little bit 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.880 of extra rest to be able to get that heading 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.880 into December of a couple extra days, I think that's 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.120 actually a benefit for them. But yeah, I think the 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.760 interesting thing here really for me was about what you 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.000 were saying, Brian about that December stretch. I think that's 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.400 the part you look at and Nick, you're absolutely right, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.640 we don't know what that's going to look. Yeah, we've 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.440 had other years where you go into December thinking, oh 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:10.840 my gosh, and then you get to that point you 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:11.440 know it's going to be. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:14.880 So you know that, and you got to be able 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.560 to run the football like they want to do because 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.960 I mean throwing the ball around in Buffalo, we saw it. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.120 I mean could be tough for you know, you never 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.280 know about that. The thing about it is too that 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.800 you always worry about December those flex games. Potentially You've 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.120 already got two night games in December, you know, and 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.440 the only games that they could flex on you would 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.760 be the at Buffalo and at Miami. But they flex 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.800 you knowing that you've already got two night games or Washington. Yeah, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.240 I guess well they could flex the day on that one. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.480 That's the that could be a Saturday, is what that 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:47.120 one could be. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.920 I doubt they flexed the Christmas Eve game, right, I mean, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:51.440 is there a. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.240 Game that's already there already a is that? Isn't that 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.200 a night an afternoon game? 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:56.400 Yes? 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:57.040 Three twenty five? 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.680 How many? I didn't check. How many do they have? 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.400 Three Christmas games this year one Christmas game. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.440 I don't really honestly, I think what I saw and. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.520 I thought there was one was a Jets Miami or 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.080 am I thinking about something else? Somebody else was? Or 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.040 Giants Giants Giants Eagles, Giants Eagles on Christmas? So is 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.080 that the only Christmas Day game that that would be? 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.520 You know, I mean, do you flex? I mean, does 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.840 that turn into a deal where you have to flex that? 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.120 I I think with the fact that you've got the 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.480 two games in December that are already TV games, I 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.040 don't think you have to worry about those getting flexed. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.840 But that's something you always have to consider when you're 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.200 you know, you're playing for these games late in the year. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.040 Somewhere I thought I saw the eighteenth. The weekend of 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.960 the eighteenth was the only was the weekend that could 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.000 have been flexed and not the one after that. But 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:46.760 I don't know that for sure. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:47.040 I don't. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.920 I don't know about that Christmas. If I would hope, 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.280 I would hope that they don't. It's already better if 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.080 we're doing a road Christmas Eve game. I would hate 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.160 that to be a night game. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.360 Yeah, you know, we'll see you think about it. Just 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.480 from a standpoint of you start off on the road 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.760 in the season on the road, and then you know 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.120 Christmas is also on the road, all on the East coast, 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.080 so you know, not that there's any short trips really 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.199 for the Cowboys ever except for Houston. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.040 But man, there's going to be some pressure pack games 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.280 in that month. I mean, I think it actually could start. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.439 And I say December. I think it actually could start 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.400 at the home game against Seattle, that Thursday, Thursday game. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:29.559 You know, Seattle, Seattle, Philly, Buffalo, Miami, Detroit Command is 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.440 all gonna be playing for something. I mean, and you're 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.160 likely playing for something too. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:35.760 So Seattle's on Thanksgiving. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.080 Off, No, it's the Thursday after your game against the Command. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.719 But Seattle's on Thanksgiving as well, right that. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.640 Oh are they playing things right? I guess. I guess 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.199 they probably are. I don't know every team's gonna play 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.960 a Thursday night game, so yeah, it could be. Yeah, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:52.880 I would they could. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.560 They would play on Sunday. And but I mean it 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:57.360 happens all the time. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.760 Yeah, every team, Most teams will have a Sunday to 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:00.400 third a game. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.480 Every single seats playing San Francisco the week before on 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.760 thanks after the night game. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.040 Yeah, but I'm thinking, like always, I mean, happens every 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.360 year where that final month of December is kind of 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.480 you're playing to get into the playoffs. I'm trying to think, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.080 when has it not been that way? 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.600 Well, you got the Colts that one time, right, didn't 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.640 you get the Colts there last year where they were 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.080 just was it last year or two years? 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:26.360 I remember? 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:26.560 Oh? 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:26.840 Yeah. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.480 Sometimes you get teams that just completely out of it 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.199 and you and that's your hope that you get somebody 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.000 that that you know is not they're not going anywhere, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.560 and then you just beat them up and then you 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:38.040 move on. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.280 But sometimes those teams can be dangerous too, you know, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.440 like Washington at the end of the season last year. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.920 You know, I mean, I know the Cowboys didn't play 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.520 a lot of players, but that you know, they. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.600 Were funny if Washington would have won the week before 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.960 they were playing to get into the playoffs. They they 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.679 started Carson Wentz the week before and it messed them up. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.280 The thing that I could say this the one thing 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.720 we've also kind of learned is the lead league tends 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.800 to schedule if they're trying to move on get the 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.720 AFC teams done. It's always like in the month of 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.040 December they put AFC, you get two AFC teams. Uh, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.360 you know in that in that you know, it would 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.400 be better to me personally if you had somebody like 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.800 maybe I don't think New England. I will see about 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.439 New England how they're going to be. I would much 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.280 rather have New England than I would Buffalo or one 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.760 of those other teams down there. And that you know thing. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.760 I think Buffalo and Miami are going to be battling 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:28.800 for the division title. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.440 The fact is, though we knew going into this year, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.840 even before the schedule came out, you knew the teams 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.880 they were playing. That's a daunting list of opponents just 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.240 in general. So however they were going to match them up. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.120 It was going to be a daunting task for the 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.679 Cowboys this season because the NFC East is so tough 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:47.200 and you're playing a division AFC East that also has 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.240 some pretty good teams and NFC East as well, I mean, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.600 I'm sorry, NFC West as well. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.679 The quarterback better. 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.440 Or worse calendar than last. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.360 Year schedule ever since? 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.680 Yeah, I would say worse. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.240 When you say worse than you're saying worse for the Cowboys. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.120 Or yeah for the Cowboys in all aspects. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.520 Based on what I thought this time last year, South 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.640 time this year, Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, I 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.160 would say it's probably it's a harder scheduled this year 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:15.240 than it was last year. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.440 You got those games, but you played Houston later in 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.440 the season, didn't you last year, and that that game 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.440 turned out to be a last drive game. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.880 You got a second place schedule, which means that three 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:30.079 teams you're playing that Finnish second are Carolina, Detroit and 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.319 the Chargers or Seattle. It well, Seattle, I think you 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.800 played the whole divisions, but the ones that you're playing 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.280 because you're finish second, those teams. You know, those teams 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.080 are all battling. You know, it's not like you're getting 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.000 a huge break there. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.920 I'd rather take Minnesota than Detroit, right, going that way, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.400 give me team versus Detroit. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.800 Detroit might win the North. Right Troitt team, they can 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:54.280 win the North. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:55.960 Yeah, I definitely got a team. All right, we're gonna 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.360 take our first break. When we come back, We're gonna 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.000 jump into our off season review. We're gonna start with 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.960 the quarterbacks.

Let's brought sec This 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.120 segment is brought to you by blockchain dot com. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:03.320 You know. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.440 So, here's what we're going to do. We're going to 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.920 a off season review We've got We're going to go 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.640 through every position here over the next four shows. Today 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.880 we're going to focus in on the quarterbacks and the linebackers. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.240 And I want to start with this simple question. We're 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:21.120 talking quarterbacks first. Are they better, worse, or the same 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.960 as they were in twenty twenty two. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.960 I think they're better. I think they're better, and I 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.080 think they're better because they know what they have in 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.680 Cooper Rush. I think that's the thing. I think you 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.480 have to have a little bit of confidence. I know 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.520 there's a big turnover on the offensive staff, new line coach, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.560 new running back coach, new play caller, you know, new OC. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.080 You know, there's a lot of things going on here. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.760 But I think that when you look at the quarterbacks, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.760 their job is going to be to work with Dak Prescott. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.040 We all understand that. But I think there's a confidence 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.400 within the organization about Cooper Rush. If we played to 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.680 a certain level, if we play a certain way, we 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.040 can win football games with him playing there. I mean, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.280 you know, four and one during the year, heck had 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.480 a chance to win at Philadelphia. I mean if they didn't, 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.960 you know, if it was the first time in the 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.760
