Speaker 1: or younger brother, younger young the middle one where seventeen

35
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: months apart, pretty close, and then there's one younger than him.

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: So he's really over both of you, isn't he. Yeah, Okay,

37
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I get it. Uh okay, well, uh so this has

38
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: been such a magical year that we have not had

39
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: to get very much into the fact that our policy

40
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: after a game that didn't go the way everybody wanted

41
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: it to go, is we acknowledge that it happened, we

42
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: examine it very briefly, and then we move on. But

43
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, we had Shannon that these great fans who

44
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: have victory Monday signs that they brought. What's the signs

45
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: say today? Look ahead Monday. Hey, look I like it.

46
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I like it? Uh so Coop, here's here's there are

47
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: a couple of things I'd like to ask you about yesterday. Um,

48
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of fans, you guys have

49
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: spoiled him. Now you know that you've everything's been just

50
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: some kind of little picks. Every game hadn't been easy.

51
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Even the ones that have wound up with big margins

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: of victory have been struggles at points during the But

53
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: the way you led the comeback in Minnesota, how about

54
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: Cooper rush in Minnesota? By the way, did we like that?

55
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Just part of the whole thing. So everybody is now

56
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: kind of stunned what happened that wasn't supposed to. Did

57
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: you guys react that way at all? Yeah, you know,

58
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: it's just one of those days. I mean, in the

59
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Nation Football League. You know you talked about every week

60
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: you gotta bring your great game every week. I mean

61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: games are always going on the wire. I mean all

62
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: around the league, you see it. And yes, there's one

63
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: of those days. You know, we just came down execution.

64
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, they just kind of out execute us when

65
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: it came down to making plays and um. But like

66
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: like you said, look ahead Monday, I like that a lot.

67
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: We would, you know, talk about today. We took it in,

68
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: took our masks and announced like, can't wait to get

69
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: out there, start working, start working on Atlanta. And there

70
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: was an interesting exchange that coach McCarthy commented on today.

71
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: The Broncos head coach, for those of you don't know,

72
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, Mike, of course, was for many years the

73
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: head coach of the Packers. The Broncos head coach Vic

74
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Fangio is one of the best defensive coaches in the league,

75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: and he for many years was the defensive coordinator of

76
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, one of the arch rivals of the

77
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, so he and Mike would have gone

78
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: head to head several times over the years. So apparently,

79
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: coach Fangio said yesterday in his post game remarks, well,

80
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: no one else has played them correctly this year, and

81
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: Dak then said afterwards, no, I hope everybody plays us

82
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: like that the rest of the year, and of course

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: I agreed with that, and then he said something like

84
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: it's it's good to hear Vick tooting his own horn

85
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: or banging his own drip or something like that. So

86
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: that's another movie I'd love to get into. But um,

87
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: let's say people do. Because it's a copycat league, as

88
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: coach McCarthy has said, let's so let's say people do

89
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: look at that and say, okay, this is how to

90
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: play them. What now are you prepared to do with that? Yeah,

91
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: that's something we talked about today. Like you said, the

92
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: copycat league, things real. Um, so we'll see a plan

93
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: like that. You know, they kind of punched us them

94
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: out the early. They got up played man, challenged us

95
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: right away. You know, hey, we're stopping the run, We're

96
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna challenge you outside, and um, you know it just

97
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: came down. They execute better than we did a lot

98
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: of those matchups, and um, like Dak said, you know

99
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: you want those one on ones, especially as a QB

100
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: and receivers, and we got guys that you know can't

101
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: wait to go win those and have that chip on

102
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: their shoulder. Now, if teams are gonna playoffs like that,

103
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: you know we gotta take advantage of it. Did you,

104
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: um as the game was going along, did you like

105
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: at the fans keep I don't mean you individually, I

106
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: mean as a group, did you kind of think, Okay, well,

107
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen now and break the floodgates and then

108
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna be off and do what we've been doing

109
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: all year. Yeah, you know you're waiting for that one

110
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: play and sometimes you can't wait for we gotta go

111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: make it. And we know that as an offense, you know,

112
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: we did a poor job on third down, kind of

113
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: get our given our defense no rest out there. I

114
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: mean they three and out, three and out three now,

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: and they got to go out there and stop a

116
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: good offense. It's tough, m So as an offense, we

117
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: definitely took ownership of that. And you know, we're used

118
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: to being very explosive, so when we get bogged down

119
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, I think we just was a good

120
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: eye opener and challenge for us to you know, when

121
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: we get like that, how can we respond. The other

122
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: thing that you hear a lot of after a run

123
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: like you all have had and then a game like

124
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: that is well it was good for him. They needed

125
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: they needed something like that. And McCarthy said today, No,

126
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: that I didn't need that. There wasn't anything good about that.

127
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Nobody needed that. I absolutely didn't need that. Where do

128
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: you fall on that in that debate? No one needs losses.

129
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: It's just not a real thing. Um. You know, a

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: loss will heighten your attention to you know, detail or

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: things that might be going on. They get covered up

132
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: with winning. Um, so there's some some good to it,

133
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: I guess. But um, we'll get back out there this

134
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: week and really, you know, you know, we get back

135
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: to practicing the way we were when we're winning, and

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: you know we know how to do it. We know

137
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: our standard. I know that's what the week plan is

138
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: going forward? All right? Can we go back a week?

139
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: Do you mind? Do you mind reliving the game in

140
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota just a little? You don't mind reliving Minnesota, do

141
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: you a little? Um? You know that the public expectator

142
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: DA's having such a great year, he's such an outstanding quarterback.

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Outside you're building the expectation it didn't matter it was

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: you or anybody else, the expectation would have been low.

145
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: You have a different expectation. You know yourself, your teammates

146
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: know you. How comfortable did you feel? And it just

147
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: kind of walk us emotionally through the game. Yeah, it

148
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: was a live emotion. Excited obviously, you know, wait a

149
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: long time to do it. Um you know, got told

150
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: you're going, and he's kind of you prepare all week.

151
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: I think I've said it before. That week, I got

152
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: to take all the reps. I mean usually going into

153
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: a game at the back of your your reps for

154
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: the week or scout team reps. You don't even run

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: your own plays, you know, it's all mental reps watching

156
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Dak do it. Um. So that was huge in terms of,

157
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, having confidence throwing to those guys, which and

158
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: you know you don't throw it to a lot and

159
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: then being around being around for a while helps, I

160
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: mean being count system, knowing it and knowing those receivers

161
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: and up front what we're doing, and um so once

162
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: you're out there, you just kind of trust those guys.

163
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, very fortunate playing offense like that, and then

164
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: the way our d played that night, Bail on us

165
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: out of some situations. Um, you know, kind of all

166
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: came together and and just start with the beginning of

167
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: the final drive and kind of take us through it. Yeah,

168
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: Coop made an unbelievable catch, I mean, balls left inside.

169
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: He bailed me out. Um, but he's Amari Cooper for

170
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: a reason, big time player. And then we get down

171
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: the right away. UM, so now you're hey, we're in

172
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: field goal range. You know, let's be smart, no sacks,

173
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: no turnovers obviously. UM. And then Zeke, you know, you

174
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: check it down on third down, thinking, hey, I'll check

175
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: this down. They're playing soft, we'll kick a field a

176
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: little over time and Zeke makes Zeke play, Um, one

177
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: of the best runs you'll see. And the next you know,

178
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: it's first and goal. And now now we're winning it.

179
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Now we got a touchdown, we can win it. And

180
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, was it like being eight years old and

181
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: doing it in the backyard just the way you felt.

182
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: No one can imagine how that felt for you. Yeah,

183
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it just kind of all came together. You know,

184
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: you you'd so many mental reps, so many times you're

185
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: watching for do that, and uh, you're watch him going

186
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: out there with those guys and get to be able

187
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: to do it. Um. You know, the last player was

188
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of you took everyone off the field when you

189
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: were one on one with Coop, Um, you know, just

190
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: focusing on that and uh, watching him come down. They

191
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: couldn't tell if he caught it, you know, and Coop's reaction.

192
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's not giving you much either the way

193
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: he is. So did he catch it? Did he not?

194
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Then you see the arms go up and uh, you

195
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: know then yeah, tons of emotions in tons of uh,

196
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, obviously happiness. Just to set the scene. When

197
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: we show up at Minnesota and we show up at

198
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: the stadium, there are more photographers and videographers on the

199
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: sideline than I have ever seen in my life. There

200
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: were probably what thirty thirty video cameras set up waiting

201
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: for Dak to come out, warm up? Is he gonna

202
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: Is he gonna play? Is he? And you know, the

203
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: media and and and the fan base didn't know what

204
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: was happening. What at what point did you find out? Okay,

205
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: it's me and you prepare for this your whole life,

206
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, and as a backup, I imagine you you

207
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: mental reps and you're ready for it. And you this

208
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: is what it's probably gonna feel like. But as soon

209
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: as you heard it, you like, what what was that

210
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: feeling like? Yeah, you know you kind of all week

211
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: we're prepping your mind for that moment so he wouldn't

212
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: be surprised or you know, shocked or going to panical

213
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: or anything like that. So you're prepping for it the

214
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: whole week, and you kind of idea like, you know,

215
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: I think, I think this is a real chance. I've seen,

216
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, played through a lot, you know, over the years,

217
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: and you know he's gonna play. He's gonna play. But

218
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: as week kind went on, you're like, Okay, this is

219
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: real and then uh, you know, after you did the

220
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: workout and all fifty cameras saw him and everything, you

221
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: get told and you're kind of ready to go, and

222
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: he goes back to being able to take the reps

223
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: during the week and you're like, okay, I took these raps,

224
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: I practiced our plays with our guys against our scout

225
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: team looks um. And then you kind of fall back

226
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: on your training um for confidence. But nobody told you

227
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: until Sunday said you gotta get a chance. But yeah,

228
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: it was never official and none of your coach like that.

229
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Doug Nushmeyer, the quarterback coach, didn't walk up to you

230
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: after after a practice or a meeting and say, Coop,

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: this is where there's no chance for him that that

232
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna let him play. You get just get ready

233
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: you're playing. You know, he said, get ready, you're playing

234
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: like you know, that's the mindset we need. But it

235
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: was I mean, no one really knew is all about

236
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: how Dak felt after that, and you know obviously the

237
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: discussions that were going on. Um, but yeah, because like

238
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: I said, I've seen him play through worse, so you

239
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: never really know. And when your next start comes, how

240
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: much more prepared for it will you be having that

241
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: in the memory bank? Now? Yeah, that's huge. It's just

242
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: going out there and you know, having real live action

243
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: reps was a really good defense. Um. You know, and

244
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: in those situations that came up, you know, a couple

245
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: of stakes here and there, you learn from and you

246
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: move on and just kind of the whole operation of

247
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: being out there with that with that group. Um, you know,

248
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: you're kind of relying on your preseason reps. Now you

249
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: have a real game rep to rely on. Was there

250
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: anything different in the game with you playing in the game,

251
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything different than you had imagined it would

252
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: be like communication or other guys coming up and talking

253
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: to you after plays or during plays or in the huddle.

254
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Was anything kind of different than what you had played

255
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: over and over in your mind? It went fast, Like

256
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: you looked up and you're like, oh my god, it's

257
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter. It's like, you know, you, like you said,

258
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: you build up before, all this time, all this work,

259
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, it's almost over. It's a third

260
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: quarter already. What the what the heck happened? Um, it

261
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, it was. I mean, you

00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: guys up front. I mean, you had all pros everywhere,

Speaker 1: attendees this year know that Shannon has introduced a segment

334
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: that has quickly become I think my favorite segment of

335
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: this program, and that is to do a deep dive

336
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: into the Wikipedia page of our guest. And I thought

337
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: this would be if we're going to really tell the

338
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush story, there's no better way to do it

339
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: than to start with the Wikipedias. There's some good stuff

340
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: in here. I have two almost two full pager rock

341
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: and roll, and I want to think our good friends

342
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: at Miller LTE because they have picked this segment up

343
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: and this is gonna moving forward, this is gonna be

344
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: known as the Miller Lte moment of the show. Thank

00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: you Miller Lte for presenting this segment. And Cooper, you're

346
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to help me out here what I do

347
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: in this segments as I print out some things from Wikipedia,

348
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: and then you have to tell me whether this is

349
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: true or not. And then I tell you I go

350
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: back and update the Wikipedia page on things that aren't

351
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: but I really don't. He really does. But tell me

352
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: if this is true or not. This is some good stuff.

353
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: I found out a lot about you whenever I was

354
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: doing my research. So all right, says Cooper Rush. You

355
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: were born November twenty first, nineteen ninety three. True and

356
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,040

357
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,240

358
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. True, okay, you played college

Speaker 1: football at Central Michigan University, and we're signed by the

360
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in twenty seventeen. It's correct,

361
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: all right, doing good? The first paragraph, got it in

362
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,840

366
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: you're the son of Francis and Matthew Rush. Let's pronounced Charlotte, Michigan.

367
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, okay, all right. And it says you

368
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,960

369
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: an enrollment of just over five hundred students, where you

370
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: became a three year starter at quarterback for the football team.

371
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: This is I found this very interesting. On your Wikipedia page.

372
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: It says you also practiced basketball and baseball. What it says?

373

Speaker 1: It says practice says he also practiced baseball and basketball

374
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: until your freshman year. I don't know what that means,

375
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: but no, I played basketball for the whole time three

376
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: years university and then baseball. I played just my freshman year.

377

Speaker 1: What what position in basketball? Uh? Power forward center? That

378
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,239
Speaker 1: was the one of the taller kids. And oh you

00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: were the four or five guy. Yeah okay, yeah, all right.

380
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,520

381
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: team to back to back undefeated regular seasons. Yep, twenty eleven,

382
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: you led your team to state runner up title, and

383
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: then in the Division five regional championship game against some

384
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: school I cannot pronounce. Oh wait, wait, give me a chance.

385
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: Let me say it's called We've never rehearsed this, uh

386
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: Douagiac let it go, all right. Uh it says you

387
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: said a Michigan state record with five touchdown passes in

388
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: one quarter and eight for the game, like a five

389
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: and one quarter. I don't remember eight. Okay? Did you

390
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: just lose count after five and one quarter? For I

391
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: thought it was seven? But okay, man to update that,

392
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: We'll go do some more research. UM. As a senior,

393
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: you received All State uh AP, Michigan Division five and

394
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,680

Speaker 1: of the Year honors. Yep, okay, and you finished your

396
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: high school career throwing or seven thousand, two hundred forty

397
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: eight passing yards blah blah blah. Here's what I found

398
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: really interesting. Twenty seven rushing touchdowns. I believe I ran

399
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: more than you think. You got some wheels. And I

400
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: said that Monday night. I said, don't just don't forget.

401
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: The guy's an athlete. He can run enough, just enough. Okay,

402
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: all right, here's the here's the here's the interesting stuff.

403
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: You accepted a scholarship to the University of Central Michigan,

404
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: where you became a four year starter at quarterback. UM

405
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: in your red shirt season, you named the school Scout

406
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Team Player of the Year and as a freshman, you

407
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: began the season as a third string quarterback, but you

408
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: were named the starter by the third game and never

409
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: relinquished the position or missed a start after that game. Yep,

410
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: that's right, all right, And this is the really cool part.

411
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: I never knew this. It's a sophomore. You played in

412
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen Bahamas Bowl against Western Kentucky. And there's

413
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: a whole section about this, and I kind of abbreviated,

414
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: but it said by the middle of the third quarter,

415
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: your team had fallen behind forty nine into fourteen. Middle

416
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, you guys came back and you

417
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: attempted a two point conversion for the win, which was unsuccessful,

418
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: but had it had been successful, it would have marked

419
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: the largest comeback in Bowl history and tied the largest

420
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: comeback in any Division one game. It's right, Yeah. I

421
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: think it was thirty five points in the fourth quarter

422
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: to start the fourth Wow, and your seven touchdown passes

423
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: said an all time record for all Bowl games. I

424
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: think so. I think Burrow tied it two years ago.

425
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: Okay Burrow? Who Yeah, I had it for a few years.

426
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: And then the last thing that I found really interesting.

427
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: He said, when you were two and a half years old,

428
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: you were a Gerber baby model. I don't think that's true.

429
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: Okay that that would always throw one in there, just

430
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: if you're paying attention. So interesting stuff. Thank you, Cooper.

431
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: That man, baby, How much time do you spending on

432
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: the one that you are? Is not true? Apparently not enough?

433
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: You know. It's the That's that's one of my very

434
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: favorite parts. It's worth a Miller light all by itself. Um,

435
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: with those high school credentials, were you recruited by the

436
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: two big ten schools in the state? Uh? Not really? Um,

437
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: what's wrong with them? I think they they Yeah, Michigan State.

438
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: I was right in their backyard. Um, you talked to

439
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: coach Antonio a little bit. His daughters actually went to

440
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: Lancing Catholic as well. Um, at the same time, you

441
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: didn't date one of them. And there's got to be

442
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: a reason now, And I think they had a guy

443
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: already committed, and I was kind of just a late bloomer.

444
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I mean, it played started as

445
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: a sophomore and then you know by your junior years like,

446
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: oh wait, you can play college football. And it wasn't

447
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: like a thing like, hey, you know, let's go play

448
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: college football when I started high school. I mean, and

449
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: obviously it's a lot of different nowadays, especially down to Texas,

450
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 1: um than it is up there high school football wise. Um.

451
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: But you know, then it just hey, you can maybe

452
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: play some college football and had a good junior year

453
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: and then let's try to get looked at um few

454
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: max schools, but no offer es Central is the only offer.

455
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: Did When did you start thinking about being a professional

456
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: football player? Probably after after my first two years playing

457
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: at Central. Yeah. Central, you know you had You've been

458
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: playing a lot of games. You're don't playing two more.

459
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: You some pretty good film and a pro style system.

460
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: You know, maybe this is real and it had a

461
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: really good junior year. Um, and then it became our

462
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: real senior year was up and down. But um, you

463
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: know after that, after that junior year, it's like, this

464
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: is real. We can make it happen. You have your

465
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: degree actuarial sciences. Is that correct? Right? Hey, hold on

466
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: a minute, you're not the only one who does homeworkers.

467
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: What is that? It's like, you're it's insurance, right, It's

468
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: a risk. Yeah, I mean, it's a lot they work

469
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: for a lot of actually's worked for the insurance industry.

470
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: But you know it's all the risk management, probabilities stats,

471
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: deep deep stats. So what what what I barely noted

472
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: is so you that's not what you're gonna be doing

473
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: whenever you're done playing football. No, I definitely don't want

474
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: to do that. I mean I loved I loved math

475
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: and got into it. It's a great career. I mean,

476
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: you can hire right away, you pass some exams, get

477
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: paid really well. But it's pretty nerdy. It's pretty nerdy stuff. Yeah,

478
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: that was not on Wikipedia. See that that you out Wikipedia?

479
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: You need you need. I didn't find it on Wikipedia either.

480
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: That was actually Rich Dalrymple wrote that the Cowboys media

481
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: personally himself unless Joe Trey wrote, So what what do

482
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: you think now? You have this degree? I don't know

483
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: how to break this to you. You're not going to

484
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: play football forever, so you have this degree. I hate

485
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: to be the one to burst your bubble. You have

486
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: this degree that you don't even know what it is. So,

487
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: uh what I had to refresh what it was a

488
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, So, I mean when you were before

489
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: you really started entertaining thoughts of a pro football career.

490
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: What did you think you wanted to do when you

491
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: grew up? Um, I really didn't know. I mean, like

492
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: I knew I liked going to college and knew I

493
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: liked the math and stats and all that nerdy stuff.

494
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: I was a geek. Um. So I found that career

495
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and that major and saw what they pay you and

496
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: saw that they hire you right away, and you know

497
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Um. But yeah, I'm really glad we're

498
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: not doing that right now now now if um not,

499
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: if when your brother Dylan, who you don't think he's

500
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: going to watch this on the website, but when he does,

501
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: because I guarantee you he will when he sees the

502
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: part about where you say you were a geek, will

503
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: he agree with that or will he say you're under

504
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: selling it or you're maybe being a little harder on yourself.

505
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: He'll confirm it. But you know he is one too,

506
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: so it'll be all right. It's okay, exactly, he's the smarter.

507
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: He's even smarter. All right, good, all right, Now, what

508
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: we'll do a break, are we not, mister Nichols pain,

509
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,680

610
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: six seventh undrafted, you know, um going into it, so

611
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: you know the upside be ond draft to get to

612
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, pick where you're going kind of So, I

613
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: mean that was the bright side. So do you get

614
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: we get like the beginning of the seventh round. Do

615
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, don't draft me now? So, I mean

616
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: some agents will say that a lot of the theories

617
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: on it, and but it is nice to get your

618
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: name called in a draft. I mean they can say, oh,

619
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: don't I want to be undrafted, pick my place, but

620
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: saying you got draft in the NFL is pretty cool.

621
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: So did you have other choices besides Dallas? Yeah, it

622
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: was between Dallas and Tampa. Why didn't you come here?

623
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: Uh my agent said it was the best situation. I

624
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of wrote with that, and um, he was right. Yeah.

625
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: So that was twenty seventeen, so Kellen was still the backup, right,

626
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: he was coming off a year of being injured. Yeah,

627
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: so I think it was just Dak and Kellen on

628
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: the roster to start. So obviously just pure numbers game, UM,

629
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: go and sign get chance at lease be a three

630
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: on the roster. Piece by guy, And what what did

631
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: you expect and what were you thinking about when you

632
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: came in that spring twenty seventeen rookie year. Yeah, the

633
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: goal was to um, make them put you on the

634
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: fifty three. That was kind of goal, kind of established

635
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: self and OTAs learn everything. Obviously you're playing catch up,

636
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: but at least at least be number three. You know,

637
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: obviously Kellen's the veteran. You know, it really wasn't ever

638
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: thinking about that. It was get on the team as

639
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: a three. You make play well enough that they can't

640
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: cut you, put on practice squad. Let's let's make the

641
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: roster from us, make the fifty three. And um that

642
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: preseason locked out, had a lot of good plays and

643
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: I was able to do it. So Kellen's obviously having

644
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: almost as good a year as Dak, maybe better. Um,

645
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: but what was he like as a teammate. I mean,

646
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: you're trying to take his job before you were trying

647
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: to take Dak's job. Was he was he a jerk

648
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: till you come up? No, Kell's great. I mean he

649
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: actually texts me. He texts me like a day or

650
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: two after I signed, like hey, you'll love it here

651
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: and like, hey, this is Kellen Moore And it's like,

652
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: what the heck? You know, it's pretty cool. Um, that's

653
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: who he is as a person. You guys all know

654
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: he's he's unbelievable. Um. And that's, by the way, way

655
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: I said that Kellen didn't There's not a bone in

656
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: Kevin's body that would be described as jerk. So yeah,

657
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: So he's obviously a great team and learned a lot

658
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: from as a player, um watching preparing them as when

659
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: he's a QB coach too, And I was kind of

660
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: watching how he's gone to learn a lot. Um, he

661
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of taught taught us all. Really, what's that dynamic like,

662
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: because it's not often that a guy goes from sitting

663
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: next to you in the cour back room to standing

664
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: up teaching the quarterback room. Is it is? It? Is

665
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: it weird? I didn't think it was too weird. I

666
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: mean it was funny. I mean Kellen's giving all these

667
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: talks and around the offense, he's you know, he's playing

668
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: in games with a lot of these guys, Like it's

669
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I think that's what makes it unique. I

670
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: think he has a good connection with all those guys,

671
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: and um, obviously he knows what he's doing. Calin plays

672
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: around the offense, I think, yeah, I'll tell you. I

673
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: think you know that's all. He's what he wanted to do,

674
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: and he's doing great. Uh do they draft anybody else?

675
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Will bring any free agency in in your rookie year? Yeah,

676
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: there was another undrafted guy, um out of Florida, Austin

677
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: Appleby was undrafted as well. Um, so you and you

678
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: made it now and you were the only rookie free

679
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: agent to make the team your rookie year, if I

680
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, let's bring Yeah. Blake eventually got up,

681
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: got up I think in the middle of the season.

682
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Um. Now in twenty eighteen, Mike White was drafted.

683
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: Is that right? So? Um? What was that? Was that?

684
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: A pitched battle in twenty eighteen for the Callen hadn't

685
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: retired yet, had he he became the QB coach? He did?

686
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: He had? Okay, so now we're battling for number two. Yeah. Yeah,

687
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: so you know and going and you know you're undrafted.

688
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: Obviously you know your whole career, you gonna be labeled

689
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: as that. Um, you know, so in just the backup

690
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: nature is every year you got to compete for the two.

691
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the job. And Scott l Anne

692
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: told me that immediately goes You're doing great, but you

693
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: know this is the job. You're always competing for two

694
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: and um, you know it's the name of the game.

695
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: That's why we play this to compete. So Mike White

696
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: got his first start the same day you got yours.

705
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: kind of cheering at the TV. Everyone was pumped for

706
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: him and Mike's gray. It was it was awesome to see.

707
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,960

708
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: after after you won? Yeah, yeah, yep, yep. And then

709
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: we exchanged the text Monday the day after, and um

710
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: it was it was pretty cool. So then uh, in

711
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen, in twenty nineteen, you go to New Jersey,

712
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: right to New York twenty twenty. Okay, you're here for

713
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Uh and then that's right, new staff comes in.

714
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: They weren't the ones that signed you, and um, you

715
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: go to rejoin Jason Garrett for a while and nego

716
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: was that really odd putting on a different uniform even

717
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: though Jason was there and you knew him, there's a

718
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: lot of familiarity. Yeah, you know, coach Garret's up there,

719
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: column Mark columboio line coach was up there, and uh

720
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: till he wasn't untill he wasn't. And then we uh,

721
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean you got up there and we're I mean

722
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: zac exact same offense. So I felt really comfortable right away.

723
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: Um obviously, so they claimed he immediately. Um, you know

724
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: it's a good fit, knowing the offense and everything. And

725
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: then for a reason didn't work out and um got

726
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: cut end of September last year and then uh, I

727
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: think by November was signed back here week eight or nine.

728
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: That's the only other pro team you've been in a

729
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: locker room of right, what other than obviously the city

730
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: and the uniforms look different, but like, are there any

731
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: major differences that you that just kind of jumped out

732
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: whenever you you went up there? It was a younger team,

733
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it was just a younger group

734
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: of guys. That was kind of the first thing I

735
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: know us just like, but uh, you know, I liked

736
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: up there. It's a good locker my thought. And um,

737
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: they got a lot of talent um you know, they'll

738
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: they'll put it together, and um, you know, enjoyed my

739
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: time I was up there. The whole being cut thing is,

740
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, we get so um kind of inured to

741
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: feelings of players as as fans, and we're distanced and

742
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: you know, what do we care? Somebody else lost his job.

743
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: I didn't lose mine. What do I care? That's kind

744
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: of the the attitude of people. And I say this,

745
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: I say it every week. I say it every year.

746
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: The thing I like best about this show is the

747
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to make you guys three dimensional, flesh and blood

748
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: people which you are to fans, instead of just a

749
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 1: number and a cage on your head. And I can't

750
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: imagine that that ever gets easy to take, even when

751
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, it's part of the business, it's pro football,

752
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: I get it. But that can't be really easy to take. Cannon, Yeah,

753
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean I was a rare I mean I didn't

754
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: get cut till I started my fourth year, So that's rare.

755
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: So I kind of, you know, got lucky first three years,

756
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: stayed away from him, and you know, got cut twice. Yeah,

757
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: twice and one twice and eight months or whatever. And yeah,

758
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: not easy. You pack up and you drive all the

759
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: way home from New York and yeah, but uh it

760
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: worked out. Came back here. I was happy to come

761
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: back here. I live here at a house here and

762
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: be back with Callen and like qb room and this offense,

763
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: and uh so it's working out, except that there was

764
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: that one little stretch this summer where in the preseason,

765
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: which last year there was no preseason. So now you're

766
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: in the preseason and Garrett Gilbert's had he had a

767
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: chance in Pittsburgh last year, had a good game, and

768
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,959
Speaker 1: the two of you, and the presumption is he's got

769
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: the he's got the job locked up, until all of

770
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: a sudden he didn't, and you got your opportunity to

771
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: step forward and show these people who didn't sign you,

772
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: even though nus Meyer knew you and Kellum knew you.

773
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: What was that whole couple of weeks? Like, how strange

774
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: was that? Yeah, you know, the preseason can always get

775
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: a little strange. Like you said, you're trying to split raps.

776
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, how many series are you gonna get in

777
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: the preseason game? Um, you know, as a backup point

778
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: for a job, it's always a little stressful, a little

779
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: you know, the unknown. You know, it's always weird. But

780
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: again then again, it's a backup the unknown as you

781
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: get used to it, you know. And uh, you know

782
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: I was able to just you know, playing that first

783
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. Like you said, there's no preseason

784
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: the year before. I think that hurt. That hurt a

785
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: lot of guys on the bottom of rosters. It hurt me.

786
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm not had a chance in twenty twenty, so I

787
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: really looking forward the preseason this year. I was excited

788
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: to get back out their first game you played since

789
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen preseason, so you know, knocking some rust off

790
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: game action. But uh, I was able to string a

791
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: couple together. Um, you know, I worked out. I know

792
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: you're you are just in the midst of constant preparation.

793
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: You probably don't have time to hardly think about anything

794
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: else during the season. But has there been a moment

795
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: when you thought, you know, they some people had me

796
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: cut in the preseason, And now I just started against

797
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: Minnesota and won the game at the end, and I

798
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: won the game. Damn it, let's give me credit. I

799
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: won the game. You wouldn't say that, I know, but

800
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I hope you thought it for a minute.

801
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: I thought, I hope you and your wife just took

802
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: a minute and said, you know what, good good for you,

803
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: good for us. Uh. But that that range of emotions

804
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: from whatever it was in the summer to the other night,

805
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: that that's pretty much the whole spectrum, isn't it. Yeah,

806
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean you're ready was up and down. It's been

807
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: like that for you know, a year and a half now,

808
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: and um, that was part of all the emotions after

809
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: the game and enjoying it. Um my wife, my parents

810
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: told me it. Make sure you do enjoy it, because

811
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: they know me. I'm thinking about the minuses I'm gonna

812
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: get on my grade Monday morning, and they're like they're

813
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: idde enjoy it, but uh so I got to enjoy

814
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. But you know, it's the NFL.

815
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: You play on our team next week, so try to

816
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: enjoy the most of it. Will look back after the

817
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: season maybe and enjoy it more. Um. But yeah, it was.

818
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. It was up and down. Um.

819
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: The support I had was was awesome. I couldna do

820
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: without them. Um. And obviously you say I wanted but

821
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: the defense played unbelievable. I'm gonna throw that out there again.

822
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: And yeah, we ran the ball and it was all great.

823
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: It's a team game. Everybody contributed, there's no question. Yeah,

824
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: you said you enjoyed it took a little bit extra time.

825
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: Did you did take it a little bit longer to

826
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: walk off the field? Did you? Did you take it

827
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: in a little bit more knowing that you know the

828
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: stage and the whole week leading up to that and

829
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: what all that kind of drama was, and then you

830
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: won the game and the way you guys won it,

831
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, being there, it was unbelievable. Just watching it,

00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: You looked up and you said, holy cow, it's the

914
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: third quarter. How about this season? Have you do you

915
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,640

917
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Yeah, it's kind of hard.

918
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: Like you said, it's hard to believe. It goes fast.

919
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: You know every week you can't get just skinning this routine.

920
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: If you know your head's down, here's prepare next, play

921
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: the game, prepare, play the game next. You know it's

922
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: middle of November. Last week in practice, as you mentioned,

923
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: the week before, you had all the first team reps.

924
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: D give you any of those last week? No, No,

925
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't give those things out even when

926
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: they try to give them, even when they try and

927
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: do they from time to time to say doesn't happen. Yeah,

928
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: which is fair. I would now I wonder want to

929
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 1: do it either. Um, okay, we we do have this micup.

930
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: Any of you have questions for Cooper? So, um, how

00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: do you as a team now, how do you make

932
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: yesterday an anomaly? How do you make it go away?

933
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: I think it starts, you know, Wednesday, Wednesday morning, we

934
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: get in, get the plan and you know we talked

935
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: about today getting back to you know, we practice, you know,

936
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: with full speed, full tempo. You know they will translate

937
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: to those one on one match was winning those and

938
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: because that's what comes down to everyone. Every man's gotta

939
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: win their battle. Um, it's just kind of what didn't

940
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: happen for us yesterday. But I think we have a

941
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: really good group of guys in the locker room that

942
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, know where we have going and want to

943
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: make it, you know, a one time thing and move on.

944
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: Does this ever have your Are you listening to um

945
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: the headset to the play call when the offense is

946
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: on the field. So does it ever happen that Cavin

947
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: calls will play and you think to yourself, Oh, that's

948
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: not what I'd do. No, No, he's the one, you

949
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: know calling plays as a whole nother animal. I mean

950
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: even for quarterbacks, you're running it, you're so used to

951
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: getting in and run it again and running to think

952
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: in that realm is it's a lot. You know. The coordinators, Um,

953
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy what they have to do. Oh who,

954
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: how how were the plays send in when you were

955
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: Central Michigan, uh signal most colleges, you know the singles

956
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: And did did you get any input in that uh

957
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: like going into the game. Yeah, I mean started the

958
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: starter gets you know, what do you like? What do

959
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: you don't like? Um? Kellen does a good job of

960
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: that too, um throughout the week. Um, because you know

961
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: you don't you know, smart coordinators don't want to call

962
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: it plays. Your QB doesn't like to just saying, you know,

963
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: if it Corbay doesn't like he'll find a way of

964
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: throwing in completion, not just like subconsciously like he doesn't

965
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: like to play. You know, it's just you're not gonna

966
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: make it work. You don't tell us what but unless

967
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: you want to. But were there some things that Dak

968
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: likes that you're really not that crazy about for you?

969
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: Not really? I mean Kellen does a really good job of,

970
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, making it making quarterback a lot easier. He

971
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: puts a lot on the play obviously, you know, we

972
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: have freedom to do a bunch of things around the ball,

973
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot um multiple things in the run game. But

974
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: he does a really good job of throughout the week

975
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of shaving it down to like, hey, this is

976
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna call hee have a really good idea,

977
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: and I think he makes Playing quarterback allows you to

978
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: play fast, trust the system, trust yourself, and I think

979
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: it really helps the QB. When can we expect the

980
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: ball to be thrown to connorm a governor? He's been

981
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: begging for it for about six weeks, so who knows.

982
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's trust me. He's already asked. He's waiting.

983
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: I just want to talk because I feel like I

984
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: need to speak in the final segment of the show.

985
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: But Brad has been asking questions that I'm just sitting

00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: here now. I'm sorry, a great question. I didn't really
