1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Good morning, Jerry, How are you doing. Hey guys, Good 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: morning John, you and RJ. And man, it is great 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: to be on this morning. Heck yeah, I always love 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: having you, but a little extra special right now. Did 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: you get basically everything accomplished in Philadelphia with the goals 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: on Saturday getting ready for the playoffs? Well, really more 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: more if you will, I underline that because you know 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: the fact that we were able to play some of 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: the younger players without the risk of lumping really individuals 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: in a group that individually they did some very good things, 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: like our cornerback Joseph and cornerback right, but we got 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: to really get some good snaps and a lot of 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: younger players here right before we play this playoff game, 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: and that really gave everybody a lot of confidence to 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: watch them go out and in that kind of competition 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: and have good days. And so the fact that we 17 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: got our younger guys our backup, so to speak, the 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: action they got up there will really serve us well 19 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: here as we're lying up against the forty niners. Jerry, 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: were you okay with how long Dak played in this game? 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: Are you up in the suite kind of pacing before 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the game that he'd be in the fourth quarter, and 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: we warned him in there in the fourth quarter and 24 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: wanted that much time out of him rather than just 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: anything special about the fourth quarter. We wanted that much snaps. 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: We had planned on our protection allowing us to do that. 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: We'd planned on our running game, which allows you to 28 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: have better overall balance in your offense and able to 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: keep him out there with how really thinking you were 30 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: breaking down or in harm's way. So as you all know, 31 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of things that happened when 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: you snapped the ball, and you're looking at a lot 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: of things that will impact the next play, the next quarter, 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: or the next games. And that's what we got out 35 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: of that game up there. It was really all the 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: way around. And don't let anybody kid him, and I'm 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: not being defensive about it, but this game was about us, 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: how we played, how we executed, how our offensive line, 39 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: how individuals they're executed, how the defensive performance of each player. 40 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: This was about us, not about what Philadelphia was trying 41 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: to do. Did you see your grandson make the best 42 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: throw of the night with that eagle shirt that he 43 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: rejected back into the crowd. Did you catch that he's 44 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: quick as a cat, and we had you know, it's 45 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: one of the few times that I've been to Philadelphia 46 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: when the fans really came on around and got, if 47 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: you will, positive about us sitting up there as being 48 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: involved in the game. That's just Philadelphia and then told him, way, 49 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: it is great to go up there, but they can 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: be the parents wise, they look pretty a hostile. Well, 51 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: he was able to James is his name, and James 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: was able to really field a lot of jerseys coming 53 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: that way, in a lot of caps, and uh, they 54 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: wanted those signed and it was really a positive thing. 55 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: But boy was he was he catching them. And when 56 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: that those Eagles up pail started coming in, he was 57 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: quick to throw that back. He didn't get that, he 58 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: didn't get that goodwill thing. He just up there with us. 59 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: He can replace Rosie for security that moment forward. Jerry 60 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Jones here, Jerry Jones, I want to fire through the fan. 61 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: All right, now, we're getting a little nostalgic. Have you 62 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: gotten nostalgic yet with you know, maddening something. This is 63 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: what we grew up with, Jerry Cowboys forty nine Madden 64 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: sum Roll and now you get Sanfran again. On Sunday. Well, 65 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I grew up with it too, and it was my 66 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: first taste to be as involved as I am. It 67 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: was my first taste to be involved. It was everybody's 68 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: first taste that I've been around, and it is uh, 69 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: it got all kinds of good feelings about it. But 70 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: what I do remember more than anything is we look 71 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: back and we think about how good those teams were. 72 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: But boy, were the games close. Yeah. It was just 73 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: nip and tuck all the way and it was a 74 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: play here, a play there. And that's the playoffs. These 75 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: things are just razor thin as to how you can 76 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: end up advancing in these playoffs, and in those years, 77 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: it made a lot of difference. One of my favorite 78 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: things that happen and was the matchups that we had 79 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: when Diard Sanders was on the San Francisco team and 80 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: then we turned around and got him on the Cowboy team, 81 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: and those have about fifteen or twenty great stories that 82 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: were involved there. But it makes me appreciate, frankly, a 83 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: swing that Ada, for instance, a Diard Sanders made to 84 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: come from the forty nine ers over to the Cowboys. 85 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: It makes me appreciate the skill sets of the players 86 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: that we've got back here right now and some of 87 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: the depth we've got. But again I'm not into comparisons, 88 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: but we've got some guys back there in that second 89 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: day they can make the Adsanders kind of play. Jerry, 90 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: what do you see in this version of San Francisco? 91 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: Give us a little scouting report on what these forty 92 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: nine ers bring. I think they're very physical and distinguishably. 93 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: So they've got really stout defensive line. They're really good 94 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: in their offensive They've got to seem to have some 95 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: pretty good flexibility their position flex they've moved them around 96 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: tad but more importantly than anything, they use it. They 97 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: use it on both sides of the the ball, the physical 98 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: part of it. So this team is about that. They're 99 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: very competent. They've they've won some big games they've wanted 100 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: against some good teams. They play in a tough division 101 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: over there that the playoffs just demonstrate that completely betefactory. 102 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: Are three out of the four teams in the division, 103 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: and Seattle was no slot, so they come tested, they 104 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: come playoff for heady, they'll be Jerry. Our biggest concern 105 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: seems to be kind of the storyline for the week 106 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: is that physicality. Talk about that. How big of a 107 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: concern it is for you? And how do you think 108 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 1: you guys match up with your defense stopping their run 109 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: game with the physicality and the creativity of Shanahan. Oh. 110 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: I have such respect for the coach Shanahan. I had 111 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: respect for his dad if he's obviously comes with the 112 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: pedigree of having grown up in it as well as 113 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: having had success. Uh, And you've got to respect that. 114 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: They've they've got a fine organization and they just uh 115 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: and they've been to the super Bowl since we have, obviously, 116 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: and have competed here these last two or three years 117 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: at the higher level than we have, and so we've 118 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: got a factor all that in this is a there'll 119 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: be a there'll be a real, real mass to deal 120 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: with out here Sunday, Jerry, did you how are you 121 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: taking in Sunday's games? Did you have a rooting interest 122 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: in who you guys were going to face or the 123 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: road that you were going to have to take in 124 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: the second round should you get there. I spent that 125 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: day on the NFL mix on the on the tube, 126 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: and boy, I was watching them all at the same 127 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: time and getting to them, and one of the most 128 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: fun days that I've had watching NFL football in a 129 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 1: long time, and I couldn't believe that our seventeenth week 130 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: had come down to that type of competitiveness and that 131 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: type of It was like a storybook as to all 132 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: the things that depended on the outcomes of the game. 133 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: I know we were particularly involved and the ever cowboy 134 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: fan and all of us were hanging on ever the 135 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: new odds have ever played. But still it was quite 136 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: a day. I spent the day in front of that TV, 137 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: said and really watching and could easily do it, although 138 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: the couple of them were at the same time watching 139 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: all the teams that we had a chance to play, 140 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: not only in the verse game, but should we advance. 141 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: And it just goes to show you how important our 142 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: games were on seven tenth week and how good it 143 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: is to have that longer season. Jerry. One of the 144 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: one are the kind of the issues that we've been 145 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: talking about is is one of the last times the 146 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: Niners came here, they brought a lot of fans with them. 147 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of red in that stadium. Is that 148 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: a concern? Is there a way to keep of, you know, 149 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: visiting fans out of the stadium on a playoff game, 150 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: what is the concern level there? Well, I have no control. 151 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: I know that we have the highest priced resale ticket 152 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: across the board to out the stadium as we speak 153 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: right today and yesterday, and so you're getting a huge 154 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: run up in the price the tickets, which shows the 155 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: kind of demand there is. And consequently you don't control that. 156 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: You on one control, let you want to market to 157 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: be there, and it is there. But when you have 158 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: the stadium beside that we have, which is easily the 159 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: highest tended stadium, and in the NFL, when you have 160 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: a stadium beside that, you're going to have opposing jerseys 161 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: in there, opposing fans or opposing color, if you will, 162 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: it's a better way to say, I welcome it. I 163 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: think it's a great atmosphere. You'd have to really be 164 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: missing the sensitivity that's around the Cowboys riding out. I 165 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: think that you in my mind, we're going to have 166 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: any concern really over the covering and the deal. It'll 167 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: be Cowboys home game, there's no question about the home 168 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: playoff game, and it'll be roaring when that Budge cranks up, 169 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: and when you have ninety something thousand people. I was 170 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: trying to look at it. You know, we have to 171 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: limit what we can put on her standing room only 172 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: out there. We have to limit that amount. But I'd 173 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: like to push that one hundred thousand this week. Jerry, 174 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: How do you define success? Why don't you make the play? 175 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: Is the title or bus for you? Oh? Unquestionable, there's 176 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: no there's no in between. You You really go into 177 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: it with the expectation of being in the playoffs. The 178 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: league is designed to be fifty fifty, and so it 179 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: is important to everything is set up to be fifty fifty. 180 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: It's that competitive, and that's fair. The way it comes down, 181 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: the way you can get players talent acquisition, and so 182 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: the denominator is to be but break the proverbial fifty 183 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: fifty mentality and of your record eight in this case, 184 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: it can't be fifty fifty nine eight and seven or 185 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: eight and eight in the time. But what point is 186 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: to get here? You need to have distinguished yourself and 187 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: then once you get here, all bets are off. And 188 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: a lot of that has got to do with availability 189 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: of your players at that time. We're in good shape, 190 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: We're in real good shape right now, and so you 191 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: know we should we should be excited and be planning 192 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: on it. And there's you know, you don't have but 193 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: one one winner here, and that's the Super Bowl winner, 194 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones right here on the fan with Seawan and RJ. 195 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: Brought to you by Ford Uh. Speaking of being in 196 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: good shape, Jerry, do you have anyone in the COVID 197 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: protocols and are you guys taking any extra precaution this 198 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: week before the game? Well, I really think our mentality, 199 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: our practice of protocol has ebolbed. This last two or 200 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: three weeks have been as it has for the nation 201 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: have been really a heightened practice of awareness or addressing 202 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the COVID. There's no question that it's uptick. It's gotten 203 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: more into We all see that every day in all 204 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: of our lives, and so we have to be a 205 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: kind that we have to be sensitive to that, which means, yes, 206 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: we have to pay more attension, we have to watch 207 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: it more. And our players are as highly highly aware 208 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: of what it means to get to play in this 209 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: game Sunday, of what it means to be available over 210 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: these next few days and weeks, if you will. They're 211 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: more aware than any time I've seen them. Staff is 212 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: more aware than any time I've said they're talking to 213 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: each other about it. Well, that's the that's the best 214 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: you can do. Keep your distance, keep your mask up, 215 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: get out there and then watch your stuff. Remember the 216 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: end game. End games to be on the field Sunday. Now, 217 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: don't be ridiculous. We don't want to do that at 218 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: at the expense of anybody's health, but we can do that. 219 00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: In the NFL, over the last two years, touching roughly 220 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: four thousand players and no telling how many staff, we 221 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: have had one case with a player being in a 222 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: hospital for one day one day, one player in the 223 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: last two years. And so that's that's where you are 224 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: on how effective the NFL's protocols have been over the 225 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: last two years. And our Dallas Cowboys have led the 226 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: league in attendance significantly over the last two years as well, 227 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: and so we have a very good situation with our fans, 228 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: our stadium. How we do our protocols. Do you guys 229 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: have any current cases as of today on the roster, 230 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Not that I'm aware of today now, bere Kenny, we 231 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: haven't gotten my COVID report this morning, but to the 232 00:14:51,720 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: extent that we have an extension of curse was protocol 233 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: this last week. He shouldn't be by Thursday of this week. 234 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: Other than that that we're counting on being available snow 235 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones without my report this morning, Jerry Jones joined 236 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: us here on one oh five through the fan, Jerry, 237 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: because of the inconsistencies with the kicking games zoroline, has 238 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: that altered the game plan at all? Like, maybe you 239 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: go for two a little bit more, maybe you go 240 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: for it on fourth and short instead I kick in 241 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: the field goal? Has that altered the game plans at all? Absolutely, 242 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: it does, and every we're well aware and we should 243 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: be aware. That's part of it's part of running the show, 244 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: and it really does. But Zernin really brings a lot 245 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: to the table. His leg strength, his touchbacks, his ability 246 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: to be a thread at a length of distance, all 247 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: of that is there. He has had a exceptionally tough 248 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: year for him and extra points, but he's a sound kicker, 249 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: experienced kicker, and guys are all sensitive about how to 250 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: approach the game, Jerry. How risky would it be just 251 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: to go and get someone, you know, a Kai for 252 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: bath or anyone off the street so that you don't 253 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: have to, you know, live with the uncertainty of the 254 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: miss kicks, weighing weighing that option. What's it been like 255 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: for y'all doing that very well as you can rest 256 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: assured that that was the first thing that you look 257 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: at and if a better alternative would be out there 258 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: would be using it. Everything's at stake, Jerry. A lot 259 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: of talk around your staff, um, you know, with black 260 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: Monday yesterday and Dan quinn and Kellen Moore and Will 261 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: McClay was thrown into the news yesterday. How are you 262 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: dealing with all that? And when can you guys start 263 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: talking to potential replace eas if you think you're going 264 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: to lose somebody on the staff, well, one of the 265 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 1: things that you're ready for. As a matter of fact, 266 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: the league is so structured and so friendly to advancing 267 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: coaches in their careers that it is not when you're successful, 268 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily in the best interests It's like the draft, 269 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: it's not in the best interest of the successful teams. 270 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: The league's protocol of helping coaches progress. Now you're sitting 271 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: here to the ultimate person that believes in opportunity in Americas. 272 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: You can imagine where I've come from. And also I 273 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: don't know of anybody that has football be any better 274 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: to it than I have. That I'm talking about better 275 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: to me than I have. And so I'm a big 276 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: believer in opportunity. If I'm anything, I'm an example of 277 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: opportunity and so in taking advantage of it and advancing 278 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: if you will. And so that's where I am on it. 279 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: But rest assured, when you're successful, it works to the 280 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: teams that aren't successful's advantage. The rules in the NFL 281 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: about the ability to move and advancement. On the other hand, 282 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: when you're unsuccessful, it works to that team's advantage to 283 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: be able to go out here and get and work 284 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: to get other teams coaches. That's just the way it works. 285 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: The facts are though, that you just have to have. 286 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: You have to have the about coaching just as you 287 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: do players, and that is there's there's got to be 288 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: in there ale there is available other people to take 289 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: advantage of those opportunities, and that's whay it is in coaching. 290 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: You just have to go get somebody else. Jerry officiating 291 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: has been a big storyline for some of y'all's games 292 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: this year, and the crew announcement came out yesterday. I 293 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: look forward to kind of hearing your your recaps in 294 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: your previews, Sam, we know what crew this is, we 295 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: know what to expect. Have you gotten the report and 296 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: do you have a good feel for what this crew 297 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: will be doing or what they've done throughout the season 298 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: that you're getting Sunday. The answer is no. The cruise 299 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: is probably available, but frankly I didn't look at that yesterday. 300 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: As to the crew, good question, very appropriate question for 301 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: our team of where the crew is. The crew was 302 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: outstanding the other day. I don't know that we've had 303 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: a game that had fewer penalties called, and so kudos 304 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 1: to that. They certainly have the let them play attitude. 305 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 1: It's funny. I don't talk to anybody as coaches, general managers, owners, 306 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: I don't talk to any about it. It doesn't want 307 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: to let him play sap when they get in the 308 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: nuances of what happened to them on their particularly and 309 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: then they want some adjustments made in the rule. So 310 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: that's what you're into, Jerry. Last one. I want to 311 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: finish off with the head coach who joins us every Friday. 312 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: This is why you brought him in, right. Give us 313 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: your view on the playoff experience that Mike McCarthy can 314 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: help y'all out with and what he brings to your 315 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: sidelines in the playoffs. Well, the fact we're in the 316 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: playoffs is why we went to get him, and he's 317 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: just done an outstanding job. And he's of course has 318 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: a bob since he got here one year ago. There's 319 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: never been a transition time for head coaches that was 320 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: any tougher than last year in terms of moving him 321 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: to the team. Yere with. Mike told me last year 322 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: that we had the best talent of any team that 323 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: he'd ever been around. Last year best talent of any 324 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: team he'd ever been around. Uh, And so that as 325 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: we have evolved, I think we're a better, more talented 326 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: team that we were this time last year. I do. 327 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: And so the good news is that we've been able 328 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: to play it and it's been on the field. The 329 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: whole talent pitcher has been out on that field. I 330 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: give him all the credit for them. He deserves the 331 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: credit for having really the experience that we've got out 332 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: on that field as we come into the playoffs. He's 333 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: been very astute relative to how he's worked with and 334 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: then evolved with kelln Moore. One of the first things 335 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: he said when he got here, he said, I want 336 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: I want to have Kelen here. I want him to 337 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: be here. Mike's an offensive coach, but he wanted Kelln here, 338 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: and he was at the head of the list of 339 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: the world in trying to get dan Quinn in here 340 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: when this came up last year. So the bottom line 341 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: is that he's doing an outstanding job. He will be 342 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: the first to tell you, don't give me any accolade, 343 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: to not give me one thing until we have one 344 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: playoff games, until we have won the big game. And 345 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: I would agree with you there. We have the greatest 346 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: fans in the world, We have the greatest an opportunity here, 347 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: and I believe we all would agree that our quarterback 348 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: is second to very few, if there is second to 349 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: any in the NFL. You need a good quarterback to 350 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: really think big or think you've got a chance in 351 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You need a good quarterback. You need a 352 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: good defense, you need a basic depth to play in 353 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: these next three ball games and four possible. All of 354 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: that Mike deserves a lot of credit for them. Well, look, 355 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: that's a good pregame speech. We are hyped, we are ready, 356 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: and we can't wait for Sunday. Thank you so much 357 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: for the extra time, Jerry, and we'll hear you Friday 358 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: on with the fellas. Very good.
