But then once the playoffs are over, 84 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: it's game time. By game time, I'm feeling athletic. I 85 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: love it. One day in and I'm ready to roll. 86 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: Was four h one? Can you can you disclose? How 87 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: much is that a public thing? You know what the 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: thing about it is has and you probably did with 89 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: this every day with people setting goals and marks and 90 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: all of that. I didn't get into this for a 91 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 1: mark or old. It's consistent. I love it's all about 92 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: every day. But man, you know things are fitting. Yeah, 93 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: you dropped, and I asked you that because consistency is 94 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: everything that's it and anything that you want to do. 95 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: And for those that are trying to hit their new 96 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: fitness goals, all right, it's all about consistency. For those 97 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: that are trying to win ball games, it's all about consistency. 98 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: Well you know about that. It's another thing. I mean 99 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: when I come in here every day, I sit across 100 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: from somebody that was born with muscles. So it's just, 101 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: you know, you just gotta kind of laid up losing 102 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: it every day. You can't look at me like that. Heck, 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: you can't look at me across the table for me 104 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: and say that when I was born with muscles. I know, 105 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: it's fine. I was talking. I was talking about Isaiah 106 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: und You don't have waiting that two twenty eight yesterday. 107 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: Oh God bless you if you could get through it. Yeah, 108 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: I know you're talking about Yeah, all right, let's talk 109 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: about this consistency though. With the Dallas Cowboys. Rob Phillips 110 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: a little new notes from yesterday. They're getting healthy. Man, 111 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: knock knock on. I'm gonna go ahead and knock on 112 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: wood because COVID is um it ain't you know, it 113 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: doesn't discriminate, it's it doesn't go away. It's always a 114 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: threat out there. But in terms of their health, it 115 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: looks pretty good this week. And uh, you know, Tony Pollard, 116 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: they Mike McCarthy said, they're just being smart with him 117 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: in the in the finale against Philly. The guys on 118 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: the COVID list. You already saw Anthony Brown come off 119 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: that list yesterday. It sounds like by Thursday they could 120 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: get everybody back, that includes Micah Parsons, that includes Tyrn 121 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: Smith Um, maybe jay Ron Curse. You know, it could 122 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: be later in the week. We'll see. But for a 123 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: team that's playing into January eleventh, you know, sometimes when 124 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: you get to the Super Bowl, the final injury report 125 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have anybody on it. It's like, yeah, okay, okay, 126 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: you got guys who are They're gonna play game of 127 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: their life. The Cowboys legitimately are very healthy right now, 128 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: and that is pretty unusual for this time of year. 129 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: This this was the hope though. We go all the 130 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: way back to the Arizona Cardinals preseason game when Gallimore 131 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: got hurt, right, we were like, oh crap, here we go. Right, 132 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: he was our first he was the first blow, especially 133 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: after last year. Yeah, after last year he got hurt. 134 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: And then it was TP got hurt and Gregory and 135 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: we had all these guys get hurt, and we started 136 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: trying to look at the time spans. We were looking 137 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: at it like, hey, when is everybody going to kind 138 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: of start coming back? And we were kind of projecting 139 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: kind of left towards the end of the season. Last 140 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: four games were hopeful, and then it started happening, right, 141 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: it started happening. And now you're you're like the Juggernaut. 142 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: You're building momentum into the playoffs. Not only did you 143 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: build momentum in this last game, but now you built 144 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: mimium with confidence. And now you're building momentum by getting 145 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 1: all your guys back and you having your complete depth 146 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: at every position heading into the most important portion of 147 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: the year. And the Dallas fans should feel good about that. Yeah, 148 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: and the fact that everyone, every team, every playoff team 149 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: is coming in with Nixon bruises and guys that are 150 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: not going to be healthy at all until after the 151 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl and look for us, And like you just 152 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: said outline, that was what we were talking about the 153 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: whole time. But I think last game, man, they were 154 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: players like Randy Gregory in particular. You know, I've seen 155 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: him come up a few times. I don't know if 156 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: the calf is still bothering, but he's he's one of 157 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: those pieces going into the playoffs. Guys that man, we're 158 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: gonna need this guy being on his a game, and 159 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: especially with what we have coming this Sunday, so that 160 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: health and everything that we've been talking about and Covid 161 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Stanley we just got he just gotta get through these 162 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks and possibly obviously if you can 163 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: get into Super Bowl. Baby, you got a few weeks 164 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: before that, and they were they you know, they played 165 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: to win that game. Most of the starters played, but 166 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: they were mindful of certain guys. Obviously Zeke didn't play 167 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: the full game. Grandy Gregory, Mike said, was on kind 168 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: of a snap count, and he's been dealing with some nagging, 169 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: minor stuff all year. He's kind of had a knee 170 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: thing he's had to deal with managed throughout the season. 171 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, mindful, just trying to get to this point. 172 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: I actually just got curious and I looked at the 173 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: number of guys who have had snaps on this team. 174 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has told us a thousand times, seventy seven 175 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: for Green Bay. According to this document that I have, 176 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: seventy two hey have played. You know, some of some 177 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: of us just special teams, but they have had to 178 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: reach into their bag man, and some of it is, 179 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: you know, in expanded practice squads. But they've got a 180 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: lot that they've dealt with COVID, they dealt with injuries, 181 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: and to win twelve games with some of the stuff 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: they've dealt with very impressive this year. I'd have to 183 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: go back and look at it and kind of see 184 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: exactly the way the roster was made up for that 185 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay team that he won the title with back 186 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: a decade ago. And I mean, I would be willing 187 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: to say that I don't think they were this healthy 188 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. I want to know, and this 189 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: would be a question I would ask Mike an impress conference, 190 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: but it would be is where does this this team 191 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: rank compared to the others that you've taken to NFC 192 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: championship games, two Super Bowl games in terms of health 193 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: going into the first round of the playoff, because it's 194 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: hard to get much healthier than one the Cowboys are 195 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: dealing with. That's a great question. And I think this 196 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: team's way more healthy. They had. They had guy guys 197 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: in the teams. I think on I R when they 198 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: played the Steelers here in the Super Bowl, so and 199 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: that you know, I don't think they had returnable ir back. 200 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: They didn't even have Woodson that is, did they have. 201 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: I want to say he played in that game, but 202 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: he could be wrong. I could be wrong, Okay, but 203 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: they were really they were really banged up, really banged 204 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: that's right, because their offensive linemen were hurt in that 205 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: game too. They didn't have all their their front five 206 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers was Aaron Rodgers. But uh, where 207 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: does the Cowboys coaching staff stand on COVID right now? 208 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: Are they doing anything specific? They might kind of allude 209 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: to anything yesterday in the press conference about whether or 210 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: not they're going to take extra measures to try and 211 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: keep COVID away. He just reiterated that, uh, next door 212 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: is an option if you want to use it, not 213 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: forcing anybody to use it. Friends and family. Friends and 214 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: family can continue to test um. And I think there's 215 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: probably there's guys doing that right now. You know, I 216 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: don't know it's not the full team necessarily, but but 217 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: certainly staff members and you know, their video department got 218 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: hit hard over the weekend. They actually kind of had 219 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: the delay getting started on their their you know, getting 220 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: ahead on prep because guys were out with COVID. So 221 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: it's a real deal. Keep it away, as Hex said, 222 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: keep it just shoot, get out of bub bubble boys. Yeah, 223 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: so kind of keeping on the same track of Mike 224 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: McCarthy and this coaching staff, I mean Isaiah, I'll start 225 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: with you on this one, but how much does having 226 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: a coach who's been there and done that before help 227 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: out the mindset of a team going into the playoffs. 228 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: It's one of the big reasons why he was hired 229 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: here in the first place is the fact that he 230 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: has been to the mountaintop. He has won a Super 231 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: Bowl title. Now it's his time to kind of, yeah, 232 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: to pull that car and say here's how we get there. 233 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 1: How much does that factor into a player's mindset and 234 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: a player's preparation out a week? Huge? And I think 235 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: mister Jones and the rest of the crew that makes 236 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 1: decisions on who comes in here as the coach and 237 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: the leader of this organization knew that. And I think 238 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: that was their game plan coming into this last year obviously, 239 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: and then now this year that the top two coaches 240 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: on this team have won super Bowls. That's that's facts, right, 241 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: Coach McCarthy, Dan Quinn, Both of those guys have won 242 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowls. One of those guys has has perspective of 243 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: what it's like to lose opportunity in a Super Bowl. 244 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: So you have the two top people, top leaders on 245 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: your in your organization in terms of coaching, know what 246 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: it's like to win and what it's like to lose 247 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. That perspective, I always use an analogy 248 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: of question marks, right, question mark leaves room for doubt. 249 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: So that's what I don't like question marks. You don't 250 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: go about your life with question marks. You try to 251 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: make sure that you go you set a goal and 252 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: you attain a goal. And anything that's in the form 253 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: of a question mark leads room for error and you 254 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: don't want to allow for that. So now as players 255 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: are now looking transport towards the playoffs, and players will 256 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: start looking at the game plans and how is coach 257 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: setting up the practices and are we wearing tearing too much? 258 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: Are we not practicing enough? Are we watching enough film? 259 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: All those questions can really get put aside. And the 260 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: reason why they didn't get put aside because you're two 261 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: top leaders in your team on your organization know what 262 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: it's like to win, and they know that they have 263 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: a game plan. They've executed a game plan previously that 264 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: has led them to walking away with the ultimate trophy 265 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: in this league. It's a great point. Yeah, those indotal accounts, 266 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna this young team is going to 267 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: reap the benefits of that. And you just hear Jerry 268 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: Jones talk about what it meant to bring in a 269 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: coach with the experience, But the truth is, if you 270 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: hadn't been there before, you don't know. And when you 271 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: have a young team like this and you talk about 272 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: those question marks, there's only one guy on this team 273 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: that has a Super Bowl ring, as we pointed out yesterday, 274 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: a guy that's been far in the playoffs and knows 275 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: what it means to play each and every week through 276 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And so I find it fascinating when you 277 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: have it as young as this and them having to 278 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: experience this together. If you've never been to the mountaintop together, 279 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: then all of those question marks they're gonna be there anyway. 280 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: You know, how do you experience this? And you're gonna 281 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: rely heavily on that experience. A guy that has gone 282 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: to the mountaintop and I don't want to say fell off, 283 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: but you know, look, they lost it, yeah, and it's 284 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: one of those it's how do you combat or tell 285 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: the story about I had it in my hand, it 286 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: was right there. He has perspective that coach McCarthy does 287 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: exactly exactly, And so that's what I look. I just 288 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: I just feel like when those things that you just outlined, 289 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: that's a that's a one of the things that's a 290 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: benefit for us. But I think man, for all of 291 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: these guys, and as young as his locker room is, 292 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: they just they're gonna have questions. And Mike was asked 293 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: about that yesterday. I think it was Brad Sham. He 294 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: asked a great question about how if a young guy 295 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: comes up to you, being that you've made it to 296 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: the mountaintop and ask you what's the difference between the 297 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: regular season and the playoffs. And I thought he had 298 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: a really good answer about it. I'm actually blanking over 299 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: banking on it. It was it was it was about 300 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: the intensity of I thought you had it up in 301 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: front of No. I'm sorry. It was basically about how 302 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: the intensity of everything was is ramped up. It's it's 303 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: just immediately it's go. I mean, there's no adjustment period, 304 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: there's no await time. It is immediately. Playoffs have at it. Yes, 305 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: And also he kind of talked to the fact that 306 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: you don't get any easy tests anymore, that every team's 307 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: gonna give you their best every team's gonna scheme up 308 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: everything they possibly can against you, and the competition gets 309 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: better along the way as well. And it's kind of 310 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: what we talked about last week. I mean, he knows 311 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: what it takes to get there, and now he's got 312 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: a lettle young roster to get there as well. Now 313 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I love that. And he said something about, you know, 314 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: just make He made an example of having a game 315 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: where you made some of your best plays and just 316 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: say that's the entire game. It's like, yeah, like that. 317 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: Just that speaks to the heightened intensity that goes into playoff. 318 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: There's certain aspects of a game during a regular season 319 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: you can feel the intensity level rise. And for those 320 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: that watch the Raiders game versus of Chargers, everybody felt 321 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: the anxiety. Everybody felt that tension of old crap. Every 322 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: play matters, that is every play in the playoffs. That's 323 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: what's so crazy about it. The preparation. When you're getting 324 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: taped up, you're you're focused, You're locked in for the 325 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: teams that are that are gonna go far. Those teams 326 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: are locked in. When you're watching film, you are, you're 327 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: dialed in. You're watching for any little thing that's gonna 328 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: give you an advantage. Now people are gonna say, well, 329 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't you be doing that during the regular season anyway, Yes, 330 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: you are, and you do, but it's heightened, right. You 331 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: recognize that our walkthroughs lock in. Hey, hey, stop climbing around. 332 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: Let's go like we're locked in. Everything matters. Your preparation 333 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: is everything. And man, when you get to the dog 334 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: on game and you are, you are juiced. You're juiced, 335 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: and when you make those plays, you're hype. But it's like, 336 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: I gotta have to do it again. That one play 337 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: is not going to change the game because everybody's gonna 338 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: have a big play every game. Um, you know, I 339 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: hate to even bring up an example of I don't 340 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: believe in anything over one hundred percent. I believe that 341 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: your one hundred is you're a hundred and if you do, 342 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: if you go harder than what happened before, wasn't it 343 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: wasn't your one hundred percent. So most people will say, 344 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: I'll give one hundred and ten percent in the playoffs, 345 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: give you a hundred and guys, you're gonna feel that 346 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: the guys are gonna be going out there giving it. 347 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: They're all they're complete everything every play and guess what 348 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: if I'm gas, give me out of there and get 349 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: me back in there. I'm not saving anything for the 350 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: next play I'm I'm not worried about the next player there, 351 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: the next series. I'm worried about the right now. That's 352 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: why I think that there's value, like you mentioned that 353 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: playoff mode. Teams that are in that playoff mode, like 354 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders, there's somebody to watch in the postseason because 355 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: they're already in that mindset. That's why I think it's 356 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: important what the Cowboys did keep playing play for even 357 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: if you don't play everybody the whole four quarters, just 358 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: stay in that mode. And you're seeing some of these 359 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: wildcard teams get farther in the NFL playoffs and they 360 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: used to do. Some of it is parody, you know, 361 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: one of the teams. You know, the buy teams aren't 362 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: heading shoulders above what it used to be in the nineties, 363 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: like when the Cowboys were getting buys back then. But 364 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: but I do think having that mode and keeping that 365 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: edge is important, and that's why it was important. That 366 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: goes back to the argument of rest verse rust, right, 367 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, and how do you go into the playoffs? 368 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: And I love what Jerry said today about Dak, he 369 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: was like, I wasn't surprised that Dak played for four quarters. 370 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: We knew he was gonna play for four quarters because 371 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: he was important that we got the momentum going. Didn't. 372 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: I didn't care anything about what Philly was doing. It 373 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: was about us. It was about the momentum that we 374 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: go into the playoffs with. And they're so their teams 375 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: like the Raiders that you point out that they understand 376 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: that and they're taking that approach, and you saw it 377 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: last Sunday. I wish I could sit in on those 378 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: meetings with coach McCarthy and Dan quinn in terms of 379 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: their their conversation revolving around the game plan and the 380 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: specifically this week or just anything this week, this week 381 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: going going into the playoffs, because you know they're sitting 382 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: there talking, Okay, this is what I've done? All right? 383 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: What have you done right? What have you done in 384 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: terms of practice schedule? What have you done in terms 385 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: of wearing tear? You know, what was your approach versus 386 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: what was my approach? And I would love to just 387 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: being there. I don't know if people say find the 388 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: wall flies can't here, So I would love to sit 389 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: up there. I've never heard that it's the thing, but 390 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: I would love you know that. I'm not gonna touch it, no, 391 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: but I would love to be a part of those conversations. 392 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that the depth of those conversations. Yeah, 393 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: that's sure, and that's why that's why Dan queenn is 394 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: trying to get plucked from our staff for that very 395 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: reason because of his knowledge. And you know, in going 396 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: into this weekend, how do you approach it? What did 397 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: you do? You know, how how healthy was your team 398 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: going into Super Bowl week of going into the playoffs? Yeah, 399 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: you're right, man, there's a lot of knowledge on this staff, 400 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: not only with those two, but guys like George at Wills, Yes, 401 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Joe Junior. Yeah, there's a lot of knowledge. I mean, 402 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: you get the list goes on and on. It goes 403 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: back to what we talked about in the summer. This 404 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: is where your coaching staff, being as experienced as they are, 405 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: comes into play. When you have a healthy team, you 406 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: have a little bit of momentum, and of course you've 407 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: got a favorable matchup or at least you're in the tournament. 408 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: Let's just say it that way. This Cowboys nation needs 409 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: under stand that this as much as everybody talks about 410 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: the players, this is going to make a difference. This 411 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: is the most stacked coaching staff in the league, and 412 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk about that. Are confident about the 413 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: way that they can handle in game absolutations though, absolutely absolutely. 414 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: I am as confident as people are about the personnel 415 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: on this team right that there's no doubt that this 416 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: is probably the most talented team in NFL. There's a 417 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: handful of other teams that have a lot of talent. 418 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: You talk about the Rams, should talk about Tampa Bay. 419 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: Those teams are very talented. However, this is the same 420 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: conversation that people are having about the personnel. They need 421 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: to have the same conversation about this coaching staff because 422 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: that is going to make just as much of a 423 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: difference in the playoffs than the personnel on the field. 424 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: Absolute and people need to identify that. They need to 425 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: recognize that and give these coaches their credit because this 426 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: is when they really get they earn their checks during 427 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah. Now, I completely agree, and it's going 428 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: to be something that shows its head as soon as Sunday, 429 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: because they're either gonna win you a game or lose 430 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: your game at the same time, because they're gonna push 431 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: just as much as the players do.

Good looking 491 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: forward to the playoffs, that's for sure. Absolutely. Um. Two 492 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: things that I've been worried about all year, and I 493 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: think they're really going to be tested um this week, 494 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: and that is our run defense and our running game. UM. 495 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: You know, I've been worried about those all year. We've 496 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: been able to kind of get around them. But those 497 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: are my two big worries. But one question I have, 498 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: and probably more to his days since he's been to 499 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and all teams usually have their you know, 500 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: their base defense or their their you know, their systems. 501 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: Two teams going into the playoffs and then into the 502 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl later on, do they change some of that 503 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: or do they stick to what's been true and you know, 504 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: to for them all year or do they really adjust 505 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: some parts of their game to kind of throw off 506 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: the other team or did they just stick with what 507 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: they know and what they've done all year. That's my question. Guys, 508 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: Thanks for having the show, and now I'll listen to 509 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: your response. I appreciate the question. Well, um, great question. 510 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: So you are who you are by this time of 511 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: the year. You are you who you are, and it's 512 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: not the time to experiment. If that helps you, it 513 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: helps you understand the thought process of going into the playoffs. Now, 514 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: do you still scheme up things that are going to 515 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: give you an advantage over that particular team. Absolutely. If 516 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: you know that there are some things that you identify 517 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: on film that are disruptive to what they're trying to do, 518 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: then obviously you make those adjustments, but you still do 519 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: it within the scheme of your base defense. Approaching this 520 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: game coming against the forty nine ers, obviously we'll talk more. 521 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers do a ton of misdirection. That's 522 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: not something that Dallas has been necessarily great about. So, yes, 523 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna put your guys in position to be successful 524 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: in that regard, and you're going to make it a 525 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: point all week long to trust your eyes, trust your eyes, 526 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: trust your assignments ever by view where they're supposed to be. 527 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: So it's more of a heightened focus in terms of 528 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: how to execute your assignment more so than it is Hey, 529 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: we're about to change everything that we do and now 530 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna put you guys in an element where you 531 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: guys are no longer confident. Now you're having that question mark. 532 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: Is this going to work? You want to remove all 533 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: question marks and this is what we do. Do what 534 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: you've been doing all year long. Now you see that 535 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: dude back there, number nineteen, Yeah, we need to circle 536 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: him and keep your eyes on him. But this still 537 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: do what we do. Yeah, why would you get to 538 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: this point change anything that you've done to be you know, 539 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: to be successful. Obviously, all both all of these coaches 540 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: are gonna scheme it up and trying dis guys all day, 541 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: all night. But I just don't see dan Quinn going 542 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: with anything exotic that we hadn't seen before to try 543 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: and mix this thing up at the last minute. I 544 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: do believe that obviously offensively, our sticking to what got 545 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: us here, what are going to be some of our strengths. 546 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: They understand what the defense, like the forty nine is 547 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: that's going to attack them, that they got to run 548 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: at it. You have to have some success in the 549 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: running game to slow these guys down. So look, I'm 550 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: with you, Isaiah, and that's a that to that point 551 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: that you don't get here in doing overhaul. Yeah, yeah, 552 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean maybe there's there's examples of Bill Belichick doing 553 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: something completely different in the Super Bowl that we've seen. 554 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: He did that against the Rams. But yeah, I think 555 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy spoken to this, When you get to this 556 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: point in the season, it's about execution. You know, it's 557 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: NBA play. I'll do an NBA comparison again. Heck, it's 558 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: like by this point everybody knows what you're running. You 559 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: just gotta you know, how do you execute? You know? 560 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: And so there are wrinkles involved, But I think you 561 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: still have to stick to what has gotten you to 562 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: this point. I'm not convinced that it's not Doug nust 563 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: Meyer across the hall calling us. He just loves the shop. 564 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: Thanks Bob for the call. We'll get into the forty 565 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: nine ers running game, but that's a great point. They 566 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: are at four hundred and ninety nine carries this year. 567 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: That's tied for fifth in the league. They want to 568 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: run the football, and Mike McCarthy spoke to this yesterday. 569 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: The Cowboys want to run the football too, And people 570 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: might roll their eyes at that, because look, Kellen Moore, 571 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: they want to sling it around. They've got all these 572 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: weapons on the outside. Cowboys are at four seventy three attempts. 573 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: That's near the top of the league in terms of rushing. 574 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: So both teams want to establish that. The Cowboys just 575 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: have not been able to establish that with as much 576 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: consistency down the stretch as they would like. Week eighteen 577 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: was a step forward. Sure, we'll see if they can 578 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: build on that well. And you also talk about on 579 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: the other side of things, on the defensive side, they 580 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: haven't been able to slow it down very much either, 581 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: and that was one of his initial concerns was the 582 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: run defense as well, going up against what Same Frantisco 583 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: is going to bring to the table. He kind of 584 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: talked about how that is a weaker side of your 585 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: defensive unit, is stopping the run. And San Francisco being 586 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: a team that has run the ball five hundred times 587 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: this season, is going up against a team that's given 588 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: up at least one hundred yards in what is this, 589 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: ten of their last or eleven of their last twelve 590 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: games of the season, they gave up a hundred yards rushing. 591 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: So does your confidence level waiver a little bit when 592 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: you talk about the run defense. Not at all, Not 593 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: at all. And the reason being is that for as 594 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: much as our defensive line or our team has looked 595 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: at as a pressure defense that gets out to the quarterback, 596 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: I think you have guys like Tank Lawrence that that's 597 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: their stick. That's the shit strong suit, it's stopping the run. 598 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: As much as he is, you know, get after your 599 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: quarterback kind of a guy, he's man. He's the guy 600 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: to stop the run. Where I'm I think I have 601 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: the most hesitancy is in our line. What are we 602 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: going to do with our linebackers? You know, how physical 603 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: can they play? LVE is going to have to be 604 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: physical this game because of the way that the forty 605 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: nine is offensive line, which is their strength, and they 606 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: get to the second level and they punish you they're 607 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: coming downhill. But when you switch it the other way around, 608 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: I think the forty nine is defense. They just got 609 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: some guys on their front line that you could tell 610 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator Demco Ryans is doing a wonderful job 611 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: with the way that he disguises. Thing is then when 612 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: you can bring pressure from upfront and not have to 613 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: bring any of your guys any blitzing, then that's man. 614 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: That's definitely man. That's just a good thing for your 615 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Isaiah. Yeah, defensively in terms of scheme, you know, 616 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: to to Heckma's point, I just think guys who have 617 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: to get up field, they have to get up filled. 618 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: They have you have to get penetration. If you don't 619 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: get penetration against San Francisco, it's hard because I want 620 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: to talk about a lot of details. If you don't 621 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: get penetration against the San Francisco forty nineties, you're gonna struggle. 622 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: And teams coming to the games from him from obviously 623 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: from through film against San Francisco, knowing that they do 624 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: a lot to misdirection, and now all of a sudden, 625 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: you start looking around. And we talked about this a 626 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. I don't remember what team we're facing, 627 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: but you start looking around if you're so concerned about 628 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: what direction they're going and who has the ball. Now 629 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: you're no longer coming downhill. Now your body position is 630 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: now in a stand up position. And now those office 631 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: alignment that want to punish you have the leverage. Now 632 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: they're able to get get on half a man instead 633 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: of you know, having to take on a full man, 634 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: and they can use momentum, you know, against you and 635 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: now those officers and let me get up to the 636 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: second level, like you're talking about Hema, and now you 637 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: have three hundred and some pounds trying to take on 638 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty pounds. Two hundred pounds, big difference. 639 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: Right when those guys have the leverage, your linebackers are 640 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: standing around, looking around, trying to figure out where the 641 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: ball is at. Oh crap, there's the ball. Oh by 642 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: the way, there's a linement who's been running for the 643 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: last four yards that's about to take me head on. 644 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: That's what you can't allow. You can't allow them to 645 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: dictate the pace and the direction of this game. Your guys, Gallamore, Hamilton, Osa, 646 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: all those boys. Challenge has been handed out to you. 647 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: Get out here, get up field. Allow your linebackers to 648 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: play downhill. Because if your linebackers are playing looking around, 649 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a day. Yeah, you're kind of in 650 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: a tough spot at that point, and a late vander 651 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: esh Kian and Neo played very well in the game 652 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. You add Michael Parsons into them at mix, 653 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily a deep group at the second 654 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: level for your linebackers. It's physicality that has to be there, 655 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: and that's what Parsons brings. And if they're banged up, 656 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: how much how much physicality can they bring? Oh No, 657 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: they gotta find it. Gotta find it somewhere, right, you 658 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: gotta be It's gotta be a key all right. Mike 659 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: from New York is on the line. Mike, how's it going? 660 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: You're on talking cowboys? What's going on? Guys? I think 661 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: keys to all postseason is penalties. We kind of cut 662 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: down on them, penalties. We one of the most penalized teams. 663 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: And it's it's about how about being disciplined and it's 664 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I say, I think that that's 665 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: my biggest album, Pretty cowing going in San Francisco to tough, 666 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: But we'll see. I agree completely. Thank you for the call, Mike, 667 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: and he I mean, he makes a great point there 668 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: about how penalties are going to decide games, specially when 669 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs, because you cannot beat yourself. 670 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 1: Have they figured this out yet? Probably? There's no way 671 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: to tell, right, there's no way to tell. Even though 672 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: they had a better game against Philadelphia. Yeah, we talked 673 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: about it. I mean there's three games where you look 674 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: at it and you're like, ah, the officiating crew, maybe 675 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: you got a little flag happy, and they had maybe 676 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: some legitimate gripes about that. Not a conspiracy, just a fact. 677 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: And that's you know, there's certain trends with certain crews. 678 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: But to his point, Cowboys lead the league in penalties 679 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: one twenty seven and second in yards or they're up 680 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: there in yards, not second, but they're up there in yards. 681 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: And that's a trend. That's not oh, they're against us 682 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: or whatever that And I think Mike has spoken to this. 683 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: The holdings and stuff like that subjective to a certain degree, 684 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, but like Connor Williams, you can develop a 685 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: reputation for that that can hurt you. The pre snap 686 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: stuff is what they got to eliminate. You can't get 687 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: false starts, you can't get all that stuff and all 688 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden dacks in second and fifteen, stuff like 689 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: that that is not going to help you against this, uh, 690 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: this pass rush, which is quite good. I was looking 691 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: for who the actual officiating crew is. Alex Kemp Alex 692 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: Camp eighth season, fourth as a referee. That's not one 693 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: of the playoffs or not one of the previous referee 694 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: crews that had given you trouble. I believe they're all 695 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: star cruise now by the way, Yeah, this is like 696 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: best of the best, so hopefully good point yea. Hopefully 697 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: that plays a factor into it, if you were to 698 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: say anything about the referees. But how big of a 699 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: factor could penalties play in a game like that, whenever 700 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: everything's on the line. It's huge. I mean that you 701 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: would you would hate yourself for the rest of your 702 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: life if you get to this, get to this level 703 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: of play and have this this opportunity for a four 704 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: game stretch to walk away with the most monumental thing 705 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: achievement in your life aside from probably getting married or 706 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: having a kid. And you go out there and you 707 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: know that you're the one to to hurt your team's 708 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: ability to move on because of penalties, whether that happens 709 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, whether it happens in 710 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game and you're in field goal 711 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: range and all of a sudden, you commit a penalty 712 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: that now puts you out of field goal range and 713 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: you leave point, you take points off the board, or 714 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: maybe it was third down, third and short and all 715 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have a holding penalty. Now is 716 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: third and long, and now you're fair, you're punting the ball. 717 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: Those things kill you. Our third down percentage of games 718 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: that we have lost our third down a percentage has 719 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: been trash. Has been four for thirteen, has been three, 720 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: four eleven, whatever it has been, it's been awful. Those 721 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: are the things that kill you offensively defensively. The teams 722 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: that you're going to face in the NFC, these offenses, 723 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: if you commit penalties and elongate their their drives, you 724 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: will hate yourself. You can't give them second chances, get 725 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: off the field on defense and score points on offense. 726 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: Penalties obviously hurt your chances on both ends of the 727 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: of the spectrum. Nobody wants to be that guy. No 728 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: you don't. So if you don't want to be that guy, 729 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: don't be that guy. But you just can't have a 730 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: repeat of the Arizona game, those games where you you 731 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: had opportunities in the running game to be called back 732 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: through hold, And I mean that that's your ball game 733 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: right there. Those those third down penalties is what costs it. 734 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: And so look, I just you go back through all 735 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: of our losses and look at the way we were 736 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: penalized in those games, and you could come away and say, look, man, 737 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: you might have had an opportunity to help yourself had 738 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: you not done that. But that's all ifs and maybes. 739 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: But right now, at this point, like you said, you 740 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: just don't want to be that guy. They've had and 741 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: they've defensively, they've had some personal foul penalties and Donovan 742 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: Wilson hit Minshew in the head the other night. And 743 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: it's a fine line to walk if you're Dan Quinn, 744 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: because you want this defense playing fast and physical and 745 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: getting after it, and that's been their calling card this year. 746 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: So it's a fine line to walk. You don't want 747 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: them to lose their aggressiveness. And special teams I don't. 748 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to leave out special teams. Special teams 749 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: will I don't know about our games. Special teams will 750 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: decide a team's ability to move on in these playoffs. 751 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: I guaranteed, oh God, guaranteed. Oh no, always good. I'm 752 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: just I'm just seeing I'm just seeing their lines kick 753 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: being teed up. I'm just not well. I'm talking about 754 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: special team's penalty. Okay, I'm not necessarily to feel old 755 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: meager man probably happen. But some of the things that 756 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: we saw earlier in the season, right, and making sure 757 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 1: that you're not rough in a passer I'm a kicker, 758 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: making sure that you're on size, you're not jumping off side, 759 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: like those things that lock in the back, those things 760 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: that could take a team from trying to you know, 761 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: kick a field goad all of a sudden, now they're 762 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: they're under center again. But that those things will kill 763 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 1: you in this game. So special teams, all those guys 764 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: that are depth guys, they have to be on high 765 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: alert as well. Yep, can't be overaggressive. And it does. 766 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 1: It gives us the bubble guts is there back again 767 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: up in the playoffs, just in time for the playoffs. 768 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: All right, Steve, we're gonna get to you on the 769 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: other side of the break.

So I mean to say, 842 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: he's looking over his shoulder. He better being one of 843 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: those deals where you know he is definitely doctoring. That's 844 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: not true. Go back and check them all. Go back 845 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: and check them all, every single one of the stir fry.

He's Pokemon 847 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: out here, he said, you gotta catch them all, but 848 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: you gotta check them all. What do we What do 849 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: we get? On this show? Like a hundred thousand listeners 850 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: a week, and not one of them has has said 851 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: that I've doctored anything. So I just say, over here, 852 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 1: just I don't think so. I don't think I'm cooking. 853 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't think i'm anything actually cooking anything up. I 854 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: did the pick hims last year, and I finished them 855 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:19,439 Speaker 1: last Okay, Kyle's grocery games. All right, Stephen, New York. 856 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: You've been waiting patiently on the phone. You're back on 857 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: talking cowboys. How's it going, Steve, Hey, what's going on? 858 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: What's um? I sayah, kind of hit on what I 859 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, based on Zeroline struggles. Do you 860 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: think that, um, it's going to impact McCarthy some of 861 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 1: his decisions. Maybe it's a guest like a orphan two 862 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: or something in that mid range thirty five to forty 863 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: five yards field goals. Do you think, yeah, maybe he'll 864 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: go for it any of those which around. Yes, that's 865 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: a heck of a question, Steve. I want to say 866 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: you can't do it. I want to say, you know, 867 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: but as the saying back in the hood, scared money, 868 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: don't make money, and you have to give him an 869 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: opportunity to prove who he was. You have to give 870 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: him that opportunity because because if you go back, if 871 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: you go into this game and you show that you 872 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: don't have confidence of your kicker, it's done. He's he's 873 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: mentally mentally he's screwed. I don't care how many kicks 874 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: he's made. You have to show that you have confidence 875 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: in him. You have to give him that opportunity. Now, 876 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 1: if he proves you wrong, then you adjust. But I 877 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: think initially you have to come out and say, hey, 878 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: as soon as we crossed the forty, Greg, get your 879 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: butt out there, let's go. So I didn't get to 880 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: hear Jerry this morning, but he was asked about Greg's 881 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: or lyne. He said, this is from Jama showed his 882 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: struggles have absolutely quote, absolutely altered the game plan. He's 883 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: a sound kicker, experience kicker. Our guys are all sensitive 884 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: about how to approach the game. I don't they're very 885 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: aggressive anyway on fourth down, So I don't know how 886 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 1: much of it is they don't trust the kicker as 887 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,919 Speaker 1: opposed to Mike McCarthy. Got to go to the game 888 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: plan you have. That's got to be a part of it. 889 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: And just what Steve just said, Man, we get to 890 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line and here we are three points. 891 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: You drive, you do everything you possibly can, and you 892 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: send their line out there. Where's your confidence level? Like 893 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: where I want to see everybody in Cowboys Nation? Is 894 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: heart rate at that moment? Does it go from like 895 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 1: a sixty to like a ninety five? Just Scott to 896 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: get that Apple watch out and it's like sees it sky, 897 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 1: you guys send that in when the playoff.
