1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, we have Steve here. Um, we could start.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't see any hand raised, but Mark Daniels, if

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: you want to lead it off, we could go right

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: with you. Hey, Steve, are you I'm good? Are you good? Um?

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: I guess I should just start on a lighthearted note

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and get it out of the way and ask um

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: what it was like when you saw that. You sort

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: of turned into a meme for a little bit there. Uh, yeah,

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: I heard about that. I saw some of that stuff.

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing I could do about that. I don't

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: know it is what it is, but yeah, I mean

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't know there are some gentlemans out there, but

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: I heard about it. Yeah. I was gonna say, did

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: your did your wife or friends get a kick out

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: of it? Anyone hit you up about that? Yeah? The

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: first person I saw after the game was Chung and

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: he uh, he let me know about it, so he

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. But yeah, it was a aventful

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: afternoon for the family. So there's a lot a lot

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: going on in my head outside of football. But he

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: understood that, so he kept it lighthearted. Figured out to

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: start you off with an easy one. Thanks to you.

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Thank you sure, um, Steve I'm curious, you know, for

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: people outside the building. You know, if you understand kind

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: of the grind that you all, as players, coaches, staff

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: members go through every day. Can you just describe, I

27
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: don't know, a Tuesday like today when you get in

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: and then generally what you're doing, and then by the

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: time you leave the building, Uh yeah, get in, start

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: start working, UM, start getting uh you know, start on

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: the opponent. Um, whether it's at the end of the

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: week before the game or Monday, whenever, you kind of

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: get going. I say, it depends on the week and

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: what's happened, UM, go through, what what their their team does,

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: who their personnel are. Say, Dallas is a little different

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: in terms It's not like playing a divisional opponent or

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: or a team you play against you know every year.

38
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: They're kind of a a newer team, if you will.

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: That we don't play very much. UM, haven't had much

40
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: crossover h with them in terms of teams they've played

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, being able to see their their offense. UM,

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, like I saw the Dallas defense versus Tampa.

43
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: But you know, there's not much much cross over there. UM,

44
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: So come in and and get to learn, get to

45
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: learn this this offense, and um, start thinking about how

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: how we need to play the game, what we need

47
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: to do, and and start putting the plan in place

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: with the pieces that we have, and just clug away

49
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: at it with the time we get What time are

50
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: you normally going home on a Tuesday when I finished

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: my work? Does it normally the same or does it

52
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: just change? Uh? I don't know. Yeah. Once I feel

53
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: like like I'm good, then I get out of here

54
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: and now clock in and clock out of time. I

55
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: know what I need to get done. I get it done,

56
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I get home. You mentioned Dallas being you know, more

57
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: unfamiliar obviously than a divisional opponent. Does that make things

58
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more interesting? At least you have to

59
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: dig through a little bit more on a Tuesday to

60
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: kind of prepare then you might Miami or Buffalo or

61
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's it's obviously not better, but it's different. Yeah,

62
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: no doubt, that's a good way to put it. It's different. Um,

63
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: it's not better, it's not worse. Um, you know, it's

64
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: just like, you know, you get to see see new players,

65
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: different guys we played them back in nineteen Um, obviously

66
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: this is a like the added game. We don't play

67
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFC East. We played them in the preseason, but

68
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: you know we're not playing their whole division like we

69
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: are the South, you know, with New Orleans and Carolina

70
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: and Tampa. Um. So it's kind of just like a

71
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: new new twist to the schedule, which is cool. UM.

72
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: And I like, I like seeing different styles of offense.

73
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: So um, you know, maybe like you, like you said,

74
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: different is the right right word to describe it. It's

75
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: just kind of a I really got to grind in

76
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: and see, you know, see who these guys are, because

77
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: like I said, there hasn't been any exposure to them

78
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: prior to to the start of this week. So get

79
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: to know them, see see what they do, um, see

80
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: how they operate. Um, and and take her from there.

81
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, sound like you get extra time to prepare

82
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: anything like that at the times of the time, So

83
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: use it the best you can and and do whatever

84
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 1: you need to do to get a win. Thanks you,

85
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: thank you, Hey, Steve. UM, I'm curious, you know, even

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: the second half, you guys seem to get the third

87
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: down defense figured out pretty good. Um, what kind of

88
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: what was going right that that wasn't going right? In

89
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: the first half. Not much went right for us in

90
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: the first half. Um, even at the start of the

91
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: second half, we just kind of had to to lock

92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: back in and um, you know, just play better ball.

93
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: And and all the credit to the players for stepping up.

94
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: They never you know, got down. They knew, we knew

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: we could play better, and we committed to play better

96
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: or they did and coach better on the syline. So

97
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: we just kind of reset the wheel and and started

98
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: spinning it, and uh it worked. So I was just

99
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: happy to get out of there with a win. That's

100
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. Some things weren't pretty, but that's

101
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: a story every week. I mean, you're never gonna play

102
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: a perfect game. So we just you know, kind of reevaluate,

103
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: reevaluated what we were doing, made a couple of changes

104
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: and and executing them, which so I was encouraging to see. Oh, Steve,

105
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned that Dallas game a couple of years ago.

106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: I know you guys were highly impressed at DAK before then,

107
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: and I would imagine how much has changed. But how

108
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: would you just just describe the challenge at DAK Prescott presents there. Man, Um,

109
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: this guy is uh, he's very efficient, He's a real

110
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: good athlete. He's got a strong arm. You know, he's

111
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: completing a lot of passes. He's getting the ball to

112
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of his dangerous weapons. They got a great

113
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: run game to compliment pass game. You know. They they

114
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: do a good job on first down, which makes everything

115
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: go a lot cleaner. UM, keeps the playbook open. I

116
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: score a lot of points. Um. You know they're they're

117
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: a dangerous operation. Um. They do a lot of things well,

118
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: and they got a lot of good players. Um. It's

119
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: a like I said before, as a team that we

120
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen very much, and then you turn it on

121
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, this is a problem, and that's

122
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: a problem. This is a problem. That's a problem. Um,

123
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: So how are we gonna combat that stuff and and

124
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: try and make it hard on him and do what

125
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: we need to get do what we need to do. Um.

126
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: But they do they do everything well. But going back

127
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: to your question about Deck, I mean, this guy's you know,

128
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: he looks looks very very efficient. Um. He he does

129
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: a good job just controlling and operating that offense at

130
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, in and out of the huddle. UM,

131
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: making good decisions with the ball. Um, completes a lot

132
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: of passes to a lot of dangerous weapons. And like

133
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: I said, when you got the run game, to compliment

134
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: that it challenges the defense and they stay on track.

135
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: They do a good job. Stand on track, um, not

136
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: getting behind the sticks. So we got some some work

137
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: cut out for us. And and we're excited to play

138
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: another day. Appreciate a good luck man, thank you to

139
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: appreciate it. And guys, looks like we won't have any

140
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: but we'll have a Carmen at twelve to twenty year.

141
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: What isn't Vinny coming? I should have
