And I'm gonna tell you and then 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.880 not being held hostage, and I'm not being held hostage. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.600 I'm gonna tell you to head to the pro shop 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.160 to step up your game for the playoffs.

All right, fellas, that's start over. It was 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.559 there were so much bad things that happened. Our man 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.720 James Johnson says, Chris and William need a night on 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.400 the town because I got a fool with us all 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:32.400 the time. You have no idea, all right. So what 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.160 I was trying to say earlier before I even screwed 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.920 this point up and then the roomba broke out into 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:42.960 at is about ten weeks ago, I mentioned that Michael 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.400 Parsons might be which I admit I jumped the gun 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.480 on that and said, Michael Parsons might be in the 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.000 Defensive Player of the Year conversation as well is defensive 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.000 Rookie of the Year. It doesn't seem that far fetch. Now, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:04.199 do you guys think he's got a shot at getting both? Jesse, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.680 You've got a shot. He'll be in the conversation for sure. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.360 I mean it's gonna be in the talks. And he 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.080 you know, if he has a couple of strong games, 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.199 he's last two. I mean he's definitely got to be considering. Yeah, 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.800 I definitely think he's in consideration. My only concern is 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:26.640 it's like the regular MVP voting, Will he and Dig 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.040 steal vote from one another because they're on the same 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.240 team and they're in they're both in the conversation that 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.319 defensive Player of the year. You know, some some people 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.120 may lean towards the cornerback, right they talk about a 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.720 record of eleven interception that hasn't been done in what 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.240 thirty years, forty years, four decades, And then you know 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.439 some people might be like, hey, I'm really into the 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.920 linebacker position, and so that may be something that they 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.080 look at and say, you know, he's doing stuff that 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.000 we haven't seen been done since LT So I don't 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.080 there He's definitely in consideration. I mean Vegas says that 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.319 all of the numbers say that he belongs in that consideration. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:09.240 My only concern is there's two concerns. One, will him 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.600 and Dick still votes from one another or Dig still 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:17.960 votes from him? Two A lot of times these voters 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:24.000 kind of vote on seniority. Maybe a guy who should 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.520 have got it and didn't get it. You know, Aaron 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.440 Donald has been the one of the last couple of years, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.640 and Miles and Garrett and guys like t. J. Watt, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.120 who had been perennial guys in that conversation, have been close, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:40.520 and I think maybe they say, well, this Micah Kidd 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:45.240 maybe or could be a one hit wonder. Right. We've 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.640 seen longevity from Miles Garrett with being year in a 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.040 year out one of the top defensive players, and he 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.000 couldn't quite get the award, so they may give it 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.160 to him because of that. I don't know. But to 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.320 answer the your question, yes, you will correct then to 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.360 have that foreshadowing, and you're correct now because I do 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.160 believe that Michael is in the consideration of become a 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.360 Defensive Player of the Year. It ain't but him, him 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:18.000 and about two other guys. I mean, if the kid 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:22.000 come out and dominate either one of these last two games, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:25.360 he's in the top two easily, top three easily. So 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.600 all that other stuff it sounds good, but that's why 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.440 I've never believed in the voters. What you see is 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.680 what you get. This is the year we're voting on, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.760 and he's he's he's a top three player in the 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:46.240 league defensively at all positions. So You've never seen nothing 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.840 since Lawrence Taylor did this, and Lawrence Taylor was the 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.200 last one to do it. Give the kid, is jest, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.080 do if he if he come up with a couple 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.760 of more sacks that he's the man and he's on 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.920 a winning team, He's not on a losing team. That 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.680 takes the kid from Pittsburgh out of the story, that 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.520 keeps Aaron Donald in, the story that keeps this kid in, 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.400 this Cardinal kid. And ain't ain't gonna be no splitting 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.560 of votes now by the same token, if if if 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.120 Diggs want this thing back and playing in his favorite 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.120 and let him get two or three more interceptions, and 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.800 we may see an upset. So one of these two 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.200 guys are in the top two, a top three. Man, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.200 we have it this year. Don't take it away from 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.600 this kid talking about some future stuff. Let's show it again. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.000 This dude has dominated the game on all three levels. 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:39.640 Give him his jets, due, agreed, Well said Nate Well said, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.240 speaking of Parsons, he came out and said, we need 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.480 to make a statement versus the Cardinals. Do you think 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.560 I mean we talked about that a little bit earlier 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.000 this week. Do you think this needs to be a 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.280 statement game for the Cowboys. They need to go out 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:58.400 and and play show, you know, really show up and 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.400 prove that they can they can beat a team that's 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.119 in the playoff hunt and in the super Bowl conversation. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:11.280 For me, go ahead, Kurt, Well, I think in some ways. 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:15.160 I mean because obviously last week was total domination, and 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.880 they've looked really good over these last few weeks. But 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.600 in reality, they've played some pretty bad teams over that stretch. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.120 So you know, I think, are they are they one 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.840 of the best in the in the NFL for sure? 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.600 Do they have that confidence rolling right now? Yes, it 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.680 definitely seems like way. But I think to win a 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.440 game over ten and five team who is a playoff team, 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.720 who who can uh you know, match you in some 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.000 ways on both sides of the ball, I think that 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.640 would make a true statement that yes, this is indeed 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.640 a team you're gonna have to be a team that 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.520 could be the number one seed in the in the 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:55.120 NFAC for me, and I guess this this is where 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:02.400 podcast and sports talk shows have their kind of you know, hypocrisy. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:07.080 Because I didn't look for a dominating game against the 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.640 Washington football team because I expected you should have dominated 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.320 the Washington football team. But when you play tougher competition, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:21.600 this is in essence playoff football, and for me, the win, 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:26.159 however it comes about, to me, is more important than 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.680 games like this. Now, if you go out and you 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.280 dominate a team, I'm not what you did against Washington 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.639 that that that's not an every week occurrence like that. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.920 This ain't college football. That doesn't happen every week. But 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.240 if you can, if you win in a dominating fashion, 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:49.000 I think that's cherry on top. But going out and 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.600 playing good and winning a football game, to me, in 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:58.280 these type of games is just as impressive um as 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.760 going out and beating the team by three touchdowns. Because 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.760 this is a good this is a good football team. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.640 I know they're in a slump, the Cowboys, the football team, 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.040 even though they were in a slump. Uh, And you're 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.960 gonna face You're gonna face this team or teams like 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.720 this in a couple of weeks in the playoffs. So 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:24.240 dominating If are you talking you know Atlanta or Washington? No, 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.160 I don't, I don't, I don't. I'm not looking for that. 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.720 If that happens, that's just more of the get you 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.919 all giddy. But I think going out playing the solid 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.280 football game and beating this team and winning the game, 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.639 to me, is definitely one of uh that would that 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:46.959 would be that would bring joy to my heart. I 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.120 just believe, jesse Ben, you're on the same pay. Win 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.800 the game. Win the game so you are stay in 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.720 position to get the number one seed. Just just win 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:58.960 the game. I don't care if it's about one point 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.960 and a half point. Win the game. Stay in position 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.679 to get that number one seed. Win because you are good, 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.160 when because you have won eleven games up until this point, 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:14.560 win the game. Yeah, I think for me from a 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.479 fans perspective, I'm with you, guys. I think you know, 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.600 we've played some bad teams and you can only do 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.119 what you can do, right. You play the games that 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.720 are on the schedule. You've taken care of business the 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:29.280 last four weeks. I think what this game does to me, 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.119 it lets you know how ready you are for the playoffs, 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.760 because slump or no slump, the Cardinals are a playoff team. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.480 They were fighting up until last week for the number 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.240 one last two weeks up for the number one seed. Right, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.600 So it's a barometer of you know, I think with 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.560 the bad teams you played. From a fans perspective, you 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.119 don't know what this Cowboys team is. Are they better 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.800 than the bad teams? Absolutely, because they beat the bad 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.960 teams that have been in front of them. Are they 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.399 ready to tear through the playoffs? I think this is 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.760 going to give you a barometer of Hey, this team 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.639 is no joke, this team means business. But this is 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.080 a good Arizona team. I'm with you, guys. I think 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:09.760 it's gonna be a tough game. I don't think it's 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.320 gonna be one of these blowouts. I think it's gonna 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.919 come down to the last series or two and and 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.840 like you said, Nate, win the game and then let's go. 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.520 You know what, what's crazy the playoffs ended to it 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:27.159 started today you would be playing the Eagles. How insane 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:31.520 is that? Like we wrote them off the season. Can 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.240 you imagine if you play them the first that would 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.560 be their super Bowl? Like they would be So I 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.160 don't want to play them just because if there wasn't 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.840 the most minute chance that they win that game, Cowboys 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.560 fans would not be able to get over that, Like 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.880 that would be like the worst thing that I don't 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.760 even think. I don't even think that this is this 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:03.359 is the deal. You know, New England for so many 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.520 years ran the afcast. But if you go back and 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.119 check the record, even go back and check my record 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.800 when we play. When I played with the Cowboys, you 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.280 beat teams you were supposed to be and everybody told 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.119 us we hadn't played anybody. The difference I think is, Jesse, 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.360 check me if I'm wrong here. The difference in this 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:31.399 team here is we have the talent defensively, offensively and 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.439 special teams. The difference in all the teams prior is 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:40.520 we have the talent and that's what's gonna put us 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:44.360 over the top. I don't care about if we play 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.560 every team with a losing record, winning record are tied. 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:53.879 You have, for the first time in many years, a 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:59.200 playoff defense, a playoff offense, an ability to not hurt 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:03.240 yourself on special teams. That is the difference than any 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.359 other years that we have been doing these broadcasts together. 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.679 We can say in our hearts, man to man, we 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.680 have a defense and we have an offense. That is 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:16.720 the key difference. That's why I believe records. Whether we 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:21.639 play the worst teams in America, we won and we 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.680 have the teams to go up another level. The thing 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:29.200 we should be acting ourselves. Can these guys step up 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:33.280 to the next level and let their talents shine? That 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.480 is where the coaches have to be at their best 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.280 so the players can be at their best. That is 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:42.040 what we're talking to the next level. You know what, 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.120 that's a great point because do you know how long 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:48.240 it's been as a Cowboy fan that you've gone into 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:52.840 the playoffs going it's always like there's some part of 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.320 the either the offense or the defense, or the play 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.400 calling or the coaching or something that's always like, yeah, 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.800 we can win if we overcome this, Yes we can win. 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:06.119 If this falls exactly right, you can beat any team 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:10.320 in the NFL two day if you just go execute 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:14.400 and play your game on offense, defense, special teams, and coaching, 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.080 like you have all the pieces in place. For the 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.960 first time since I can remember, and I've been here 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.080 eighteen years, since I've been here, that like, you have 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.320 the pieces in front of you. You just need to 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.199 go play your game and nobody can beat you. If 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:30.560 you do that, you're not having to overcome other parts 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:32.639 of the team. And I think that's a really great 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.960 feeling from a fans perspective for once, Jesse, I don't 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:41.359 want to hear what you got to say. Hand I'm sorry, 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:53.360 I'm sorry, Kurt, I want to I'm sorry. Sorry, shots 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:55.160 go ahead, old Kurt, I'm sorry. I talked a bunch 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.120 of pastor. That's hey. All that noise in the first 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:02.080 segment was that room but trying to get up his liad. 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:14.040 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to go now it 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.800 it was it was cleaning up all the crumbs that 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:21.639 Nate left. He was over eating cookies all last night. 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:27.320 Sunce right off that belly onto the floor work for 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.639 the room book. Oh my gosh, he's just so sorry. 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:37.120 I apologize, I apologize. Wow, let's get back on track. 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:41.000 Can we start over again? Yeah? I take a break 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.639 and then we'll come back. Get Jesse.
