1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, Sir, how much

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: better is it to wake up on Monday morning with

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: that victory? Well, it's a huge difference. And I think

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: we said all last week, I mean it, you know,

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: we didn't need any more moral victories or hey, you

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: played well enough to win, but you didn't get it.

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: And certainly this one check the box here for us,

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can build off of this and you know,

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: get on track here and and put some things together

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: and you're ready to play a tough divisional opponent in

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles and go to work. Stephen, we were just

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: discussing how big it was to get the ball to

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: start the game and score a touchdown. It hadn't happened

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: in twenty one games, I believe, is the stat How

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: important was it to just go down and just have

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: a great offensive start to this game. Well, it's real important.

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean anytime you start fast and certainly do what

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: we did, which go down and score, gives everybody the

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: momentum they need. It was nice to, you know, getting

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: pretty close to having a full group out there, although

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: we were missing a gallop and l But I think

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: I said and still did a great job, which is

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: what you have to do in this league. You have

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: to have people step up. But to get that drive

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: in obviously, we you know, have been feeling awfully strong about,

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, what we can do offensively with the football,

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: and I think we did get off to a good start,

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: and then of course the defets. You know, it's hopefully

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: starting to get an identity, which is h being able

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over. And even though they got

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: off to a fast start on their drive, we entered

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: it with a turnover there and it was a good

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: way to start the game. I'm glad you mentioned the defense.

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: We've clearly talked about that a lot. Today is on

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: the one hand, twenty six in the league in yards

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: giving up per game, but in the stat that matters more,

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: fifteenth in the league and points giving up per game.

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about the way the defense has

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: looked through two games? And do you think this turnover

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: run is sustainable? I do. I think that's the style

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: of play coach Quinn and uh Mike had in mind

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: when Mike brought him in, and I think we're certainly,

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: uh you know, that's what we stress in practice, and

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: the bigger thing here is I think this defense is

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: only only going to get better as we move forward. Obviously,

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, everybody has to deal with injuries, but on

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball there we were having

48
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: to do some makeshift things, missing Randy Gregory and d

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Law and our starting safety. Uh, you know, we had

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: some challenges there. But I thought, you know, our staff

51
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: did a great job of moving some guys around. Obviously,

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: Micah Uh, you know, did a great job. They're playing

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher for us yesterday and about later

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: man Jalen stepped up and did a nice job for us.

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: So you know, I think this defense is only going

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: to improve as we moved forward. We certainly had two

57
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: big challenges right off the bat, playing probably the best

58
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: to ever play the game in Brady and then turning

59
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: around and getting the rookie of the year from last year.

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: And I think anybody who noticed football and could see

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: the game, I mean, they've got him a great young

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: quarterback there in Herbert, some really strong receivers there that

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: gave us some challenges. But I thought our defense did

64
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: a real nice job. Speaking of a real nice job,

65
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons was awesome at defensive end. I don't know

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: if the word is surprised, but as a Cowboy fan,

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: it was. I just didn't expect him to just step

68
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: into defensive end and be just that disruptive. It did

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: look to me like the hard knocks, like DeMarcus Ware

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: taught him everything, and he's like, all right, I'm gonna

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: beat my guy the majority of times and make things

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: hard on Herbert. How impressed were you with him stepping

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: into a new role in being that good that quick. Well,

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: my hat's off to him. I think he hadn't played

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: that he said, I had played that much. It's high school.

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, he

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: just has some rare, freakish physical tools and then on

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: to go with a very instinctive football mind, and whether

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: that's playing linebacker, whether that's coming off an edge, he

80
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: just knows how to play the game of football. And

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: the package of that with like I said, is freakish

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: physical tools. That makes for the makings of a great

83
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: football player. And he's certainly learning on the run here

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: and he's getting a lot thrown at it, but he

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: seems to answer the bell at every corner. And you know,

86
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say surprised is the right word, but certainly

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: very pleased with how he played, and certainly he met

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and exceeded all expectations of what we could have had

89
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: for him out there playing the edge rusher there. Understand

90
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: this could certainly be matchup dependent, but would you anticipate

91
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: him staying out at edge rusher for the time being.

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: You know, I think one of the things he brings

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: his diversatility, and I think you know, when teams are

94
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: not knowing where where he's gonna line up, I think

95
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: that creates issues. And you know, as we get to

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: we'll have Randy back off the COVID list this week,

97
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: and you know, all the guys who've covered our team here,

98
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: you guys know what we think of Randy and the

99
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: type of off season he had, the type of training

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: camp he had, they the preseason he had, he bring

101
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: him back in the mix, and you know, I just

102
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: think this defense should only improve as the season moves forward.

103
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: And you know, the good news is right now we

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: hadn't lost anybody for the year. We know we'll get

105
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: the all back at some point, and then they've got

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: some help on the interior as well coming. So you know,

107
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: we're just excited about what this defense can develop into.

108
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: Malie Cooker got some really valuable snaps after having to

109
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: sit out from what we all know what tough injuries

110
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: coming off these Achilles injuries. And I thought he did

111
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: a nice shot for us and think he'll only improve

112
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: as well. So I do think they are is up

113
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: on this defense. As you said, we certainly got room

114
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: to improve or still twenty six and yards and you

115
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: know we're in the top half a smidge in fifteen. Yeah,

116
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: let's given up. So we're we're fired up about where

117
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: this defense can head. But it certainly got room for improvement. Stephen,

118
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: these might not be your favorite questions, but Richard Sherman

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: is out there saying I'm ready to play football again.

120
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: He's uh, you know, being in reports on teams having interest.

121
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: Are you guys going to look at Richard Sherman. You know,

122
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: we always uh you know, don't really get into the

123
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: details of who's on our radar, but we certainly do

124
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: our homework on all players that might be available and

125
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: what their situations are, and uh, you know, Will and

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: a personnel department do a great job of that. And

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: I know we're we're continuing to look for ways to

128
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: improve this football team. All right, I I kind of

129
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: in the in the same veins. I'm hoping you can

130
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: give us whatever insight possible here. I know you can't

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: get into specifics, but we've we've heard and seen things

132
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: about what Lyle Collins might use as part of his

133
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: appeal without speaking specifically about him. Are you allowed to

134
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: assist in players defenses with things like this? Like are

135
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: you allowed to confirm with the NFL? Yes, we did

136
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: indeed have a COVID scare that day in cancel practice,

137
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: or like, are y'all allowed to be involved in that

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: process at all? Yeah? Whenever we're asked questions, I mean,

139
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: the age can certainly for Lyle and his representation can

140
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: ask us questions about our scheduling, and so can the league,

141
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and so it's yes, you can be involved like that, Okay.

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: And then when it comes to you mentioned to start

143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: this segment off about Terrence Steele, and from our perspective

144
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: and I think yours too, he did a terrific job

145
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: filling in for Lyle, and you guys had a lot

146
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: of confidence in him. How pleased are you that it's

147
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: working out so far? In Game one at least of

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: this year that just looking at the stats, looking at

149
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: what he did, especially against Bosa, one of the best

150
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, that he was able to help Dak

151
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: have the time to have a successful game. Well, it's

152
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: very pleasing to see that. Obviously. I think it's paid

153
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: off all the all the opportunities he got last year,

154
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: and albeit they all weren't great outings, he certainly was

155
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: learning every time he went out there, and then he

156
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: came back in the off season and I think that

157
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, bigger, stronger, faster, if you will, and uh,

158
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, had a great off season that he wanted

159
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: to build upon. He's a pro. He goes about things

160
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: the right way, and I think it's starting to pay off.

161
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: For one. But you know, as I said, you're going

162
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: to meet all these players to get through the europe

163
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: I kind of mc govern did the same thing last week,

164
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: and now has Steel step up and do the exact

165
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: same thing. Just shows uh, you know, I think we

166
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: argued some good depth in here in our offensive line

167
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get in a secie back in the

168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks as well, because you do need

169
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: them all. This is it's a part of the NFL

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: right now, and you know, you just got to turn

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: on Sports Center and see all the injuries that took

172
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: place yesterday. In terms of other teams having to deal

173
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: with the same thing. I mean, you're just you know,

174
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: that's part of the game we play. We're not unique

175
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: and that we're the only ones having some bad luck

176
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: in terms of whether it's an injury, whether it's COVID,

177
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: whether it's a suspension. You know, these things take place,

178
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: and you've got to put up, you know, a fifty

179
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: three man roster. You've got to have sixteen tactice squad

180
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: guys in our case, seventeen because of our international spot.

181
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: And you certainly got the injury lists and things like that.

182
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: But you know, when you're all said and done, you're

183
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: gonna need seventy five eighty players if you're gonna make

184
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: a run. Talk with Stephen Jones right here on one

185
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: oh five through the Fan. After a big Cowboys win

186
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: over the Chargers yesterday, we heard Mike mccarth in the

187
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: post game about the video ring getting changed up and

188
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: not being able to see the clock. I wanted to know,

189
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: like what is the usual, you know, like what's the

190
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: way that things go do you just look up at

191
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: the scoreboard usually to see the clock? Do you guys

192
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: have like a time management consultant on the sideline as well?

193
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: Like how do you usually just look at the clock

194
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: and intake that information? Well, Mike's the right gut ass

195
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: because he's a coach on head coach on the sideline.

196
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: But no, there's I mean, that's what the coaches have

197
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: available to them or whatever's in the in the stadiums,

198
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the whether it be the play clock,

199
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: whether it be the big clock. I mean, all of

200
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: those things are in play. And certainly with all the

201
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: new technology and the new scoreboards when you know, came

202
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: with a unique on the center hang one and now

203
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: uh you know you look at what the Falcons did

204
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: and now you look at what they're doing in LA.

205
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: There's you know, there's probably some some new things that

206
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: come with being a head coach and what's your staff

207
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: and Mike has his staff put together? Well, I mean

208
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: he can certainly speak to that in terms of he's

209
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: doing what we've had different head coaches. He'd like to

210
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: point those things out, and other head coaches he you know,

211
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: don't want to say a lot about it. But that's

212
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: a good, great question for Mike, but certainly, uh, you know,

213
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: what you have is access to what's in the building.

214
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: So Stephen. Last one from me. We talked Friday to

215
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Jerry and we asked him about Tony Pollard and could

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: he have an impact in this game and maybe see

217
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: more touches And he said, yeah, we need to get

218
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard more touches. We believe a lot in him

219
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: and for me, he was the MVP of that game

220
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: offensively yesterday. Can you speak to what Tony Pollard did

221
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: and is that going to be I don't know exactly

222
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: how to say. It's his role in touching the ball

223
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: that many times. Well, I think you know we did

224
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: say it last week, is we do have to get

225
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: him more touches. Either a dynamic player, I think he's

226
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: a great compliment to Zeke. He's got the skill set

227
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: that he can actually be a legit slot receiver if

228
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: that's what's needed from him on eight particular formation, on

229
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: eighth particular play. And as you've seen, we've had Zeke

230
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: and Tony in there at the same time, and I

231
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: think it's a great combination in terms of making the

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: defense make some tough choices, but he is a guy

233
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: you know that. As we move forward, ever, defense is

234
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: different in terms of how you want to attack him.

235
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: But the common theme here is I think anybody in

236
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: the organization will say that he certainly deserves to get

237
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: his touches. All right, Stephen, last thing Saturday, you guys

238
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: got a big game in y'all's building. I'm really rooting

239
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: hard for one of these teams. Is there any way

240
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: can get a gig him from you on your way

241
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: out the door. Don't think you're going to get that

242
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: one man. You might get a whoopeg zui, but you

243
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: won't get a gig him all. I mean, I kind

244
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: of did if you think about it. There's a lot

245
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: of a lot of great Aggie, a lot of great

246
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: Agge fans that I know are cowboys fans and respect them.

247
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: But you know, blood thicker and water at the end

248
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: of the day, and my boys on a wearing that

249
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: hog on his hat, so you know where our loyalties

250
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: will be for this particular game. It was worth a shot,

251
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: and I hope that you win at least one game

252
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: in your building this weekend, just not that one. Thank

253
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: you very much, Stephen All right guys, great to be

254
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: on
