Speaker 1: on vacation right about now, but it's not a bad
Speaker 1: way to spend your night, is it? Checkout some football
Speaker 1: and now was were not enough scoring in the games
Speaker 1: last night? Okay the games last night. No, nobody scored
Speaker 1: more than seventeen points in these games last night. But
Speaker 1: uh still good to watch football. So Washington taking off Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: I think Philly wins it tonight. I think Jayalen Hurt's
Speaker 1: gonna be back here. I just think this team is
Speaker 1: that they've gotten better. Yeah, they're getting next seriality the
Speaker 1: rookie head coach to credit. They've gotten better. They started
Speaker 1: to see a little bit of what they do but
Speaker 1: Washington and Philly bow six and seven football teams. So
Speaker 1: give me Philly to win the night, and that's pretty
Speaker 1: much gonna effectively end Washington. I'm taking Philly as well.
Speaker 1: And um so if if if Philly wins, the Cowboys clinch,
Speaker 1: is that how it works? Okay? So I got definitely
Speaker 1: got Philly going. Um, I've seen Jalen Hursts out there.
Speaker 1: Christ Oh wait, wait, it's not okay, So how do
Speaker 1: we clinch? They have to tie. They have to tie
Speaker 1: in order for us to clinch. Yes, well that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen this afternoon. So I'm gonna go ahead say
Speaker 1: Philly's gonna take the game to actually clanch or that
Speaker 1: at the tide of the name. Okay, And we were
Speaker 1: still checking on on your on if double Gs pay
Speaker 1: me the quarterback tonight? Hey, y'all tell you right now,
Speaker 1: y'all better hope double hain't in there. He can't sleep
Speaker 1: on him than Joe Pittsburgh game man. And I mean
Speaker 1: just so happy I'm not the only one that said
Speaker 1: I've been the only one on this on this podcast
Speaker 1: talking about Double G and how he came and was
Speaker 1: he was. He was a piece against Pittsburg. I mean
Speaker 1: the man walked into the huddle, you know, like he
Speaker 1: had been playing Joe Preach, Preach Babe. I'm sitting there ready, Brake,
Speaker 1: let's go. Then let's go. Then you heard the man
Speaker 1: was in the huddle. The man was in the huddle
Speaker 1: with Double Man. You know, I wish Danny was here
Speaker 1: for this because I've been telling cats since Double Jet
Speaker 1: and first started that the guy has what it takes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he does what it takes. Let's just let the listener. So,
Speaker 1: Gary Gilbert, Garret GiB I'm sorry, y'all. Snap. Yes, So
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke and case Keenum may not play tonight, so
Speaker 1: we gotta figure that whole COVID situation now with them.
Speaker 1: But but if if they're not going, then it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Garrett Gilbert kind of like what we saw in Cleveland. Um,
Speaker 1: with the Nickland situation, it was Keenam who was up there.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. With Cleveland, it was it was Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: Keendam who couldn't play Cleland Nick lands win. So over
Speaker 1: there with UM in Washington got they got this. So
Speaker 1: let's see, let's see. But I personally, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't think it doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
Speaker 1: I just think I like what Philadelphia is doing, right.
Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia wins his football game here and they
Speaker 1: get to six and um seven six, they're both six
Speaker 1: and seven, so yeah, yeah, seven and seven. So um,
Speaker 1: it's a lot to go with. I'm still waiting on
Speaker 1: this song. Gonna update here, man, because like a fantasy
Speaker 1: guy's going to night, fantasy team changes everything. Man, say yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: A great ad for the for for the game, the football.
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic they just keep making money. It gets
Speaker 1: it gets every gets you in there watching every game,
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on. But now I see why
Speaker 1: fans of the game get so, you know, pissed off
Speaker 1: at these players because they're like, man, and I'm one
Speaker 1: of them now, so I'm over there, like, why aren't
Speaker 1: you giving it? It's third and one. Pass the ball
Speaker 1: to this guy. He needs these stats, man, I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand, but it's it's definitely it gets you involved
Speaker 1: in the game once again. Man, It's it's fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is being a spectator of the game. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's just the football mind, but seeing it
Speaker 1: and you're going through all the situations. I mean, every
Speaker 1: every game I've watched this year, and you get into
Speaker 1: you know, halftime two minute or into the game two minute,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there bank of time. You know, I'm in there.
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm in the liver room. My wife's sitting
Speaker 1: there watching me, and she's like, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, another opportunity right there? What do we
Speaker 1: do with? Coach? Come on? It is crazy how you
Speaker 1: can see, like from the coach's perspective, Like when I
Speaker 1: was playing, I didn't see the little things. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: why didn't this guy just play high to low? Or
Speaker 1: like why didn't this guy take this angle or that angle?
Speaker 1: And as you you see it from you know, the
Speaker 1: fans perspective and in the coach's perspective, it's the game
Speaker 1: simplifies a lot. But when you're on that field, I mean,
Speaker 1: you just see things going one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 1: You know, Man, I wish I would have done that.
Speaker 1: I wish I would have done this. So it's it's
Speaker 1: definitely a different take on the game when you're on
Speaker 1: this side of the ball. No question, Cowboys are sitting
Speaker 1: at the number two seeds, green Bay is sitting at
Speaker 1: the one seed. Green Bay almost got beat by Baltimore
Speaker 1: on Sunday, And what what what's your belief level that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can get to the number one seed. Joe'll
Speaker 1: lead us up. Well, I definitely, I definitely think the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are sitting in a great place right now. When
Speaker 1: when when you when you're in control of your own destiny.
Speaker 1: Always felt like that that's the best place you can
Speaker 1: be as a football team. And you no matter what
Speaker 1: happens with the game tonight, you know, Chris said, you know,
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys win one more, you know they clinched
Speaker 1: the division. I always thought that was the most important
Speaker 1: thing as a football player, that we control what's going on.
Speaker 1: And as we see the NFL's it's it's it's up
Speaker 1: and down. I mean, the racist wide open, so you
Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen. I thinks as long as
Speaker 1: you show up, you play, and do what you gotta do,
Speaker 1: good things are gonna happen. You know. My dad was
Speaker 1: a huge preacher of you know, hey, just go out
Speaker 1: there and work hard. And I'm the same way and
Speaker 1: everything I do. Go out there and work hard, do
Speaker 1: what you gotta do, and the Chips are gonna fall
Speaker 1: where you want them to fall, without a doubt. And
Speaker 1: I like what the boys are as well, because right
Speaker 1: now we're with the two seeds. Yes, And you know,
Speaker 1: I had it both ways. I've had that number one
Speaker 1: seed where you get that first round by and then
Speaker 1: I've had the you know, lower seed where you gotta
Speaker 1: play through the wild card and go um. And I
Speaker 1: kind of like that wild card approach. I like, you know,
Speaker 1: going from straight from the end of the season to
Speaker 1: going straight into the playoffs. I like that style because
Speaker 1: when you had that bye week and and I had
Speaker 1: to hear what the Cowboys leave sixteen. We had that
Speaker 1: bye week, we're rolling. The momentum just kind of dissipated
Speaker 1: as we took that bye week, and the next thing
Speaker 1: you know, Green Bay comes into town. They beat us,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rod just beat us, perfect, thank you, thank you. Okay,
Speaker 1: So he's excited because I go back to I go
Speaker 1: back to that. Okay, First off, that was a super
Speaker 1: Bowl team sixteen, yes, yeh, thirteen and three. That was
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team. And in in fact, then Quinn's team
Speaker 1: ended up going to Super Bowl because the Cowboys had
Speaker 1: lost from the number one Sea. It felt like watching
Speaker 1: it in the press box that the Cowboys were not
Speaker 1: ready for that football game. Were green Bay got out
Speaker 1: to the big league and then of course in second half,
Speaker 1: all right, now here the Cowboys going. But it just
Speaker 1: felt like to me that that was where the game
Speaker 1: was lost because the team wasn't ready to go. Since
Speaker 1: you guys were there, you tell me, am I crazy. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're crazy at all. One were we
Speaker 1: were a young team. I mean offensively, we were led
Speaker 1: by rookie Dak and rookie Zeke out there. So we
Speaker 1: were a young team going into it, and we had
Speaker 1: that momentum going. We were playing playing, playing, playing plan boom,
Speaker 1: we take that break, and like I said earlier, kind
Speaker 1: of that momentum just kind of dissipated from us. And
Speaker 1: like you said, we started slow. We started extremely slow
Speaker 1: against Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers. They were ready for the game,
Speaker 1: they were prepared, and he went out to a twenty
Speaker 1: one three league early. Just like that. Now, the second
Speaker 1: half turned around a little bit. You know, offense got
Speaker 1: their things going, defense finally picked it up and we
Speaker 1: were able to hold them the three points. I think
Speaker 1: was it three points or ten points. Ever was that
Speaker 1: whole second half. So we were rolling, but that first
Speaker 1: half we just started too slow. So that's why I
Speaker 1: like that approach to where you go straight from week seventeen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, straight to the wild card, and I
Speaker 1: think that'd benefit this team coming up as well. So
Speaker 1: when that happens, Joe, what is it is that players?
Speaker 1: Is that coaching? How does that happen that you get
Speaker 1: this time off? You're the number one seed, You've been
Speaker 1: playing well all season long, and you're at home and
Speaker 1: you're down twenty one. I think it takes an effect
Speaker 1: on both the players and the coaches, you know, because
Speaker 1: if you think about a regular buye week, you know,
Speaker 1: you really kind of get into that relaxed mode. You
Speaker 1: kind of got nothing on your mind. You're not thinking
Speaker 1: about football, and when you're when you're playing in the NFL,
Speaker 1: football has got to be on your mind all the time,
Speaker 1: you know. Even you know, I tell everybody now that
Speaker 1: I'm retired, you know, I tell everybody, even even if
Speaker 1: you're even if you're at home with your family, you're
Speaker 1: not really there because you're constantly thinking about what you
Speaker 1: got to do in the game. Checks all this stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, football is just on your mind, and when
Speaker 1: you get that bye week, you kind of you relax,
Speaker 1: and you relax too much, and you kind of get
Speaker 1: that lax of daisical, you know, kind of feeling. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not around the guys in the locker room anymore,
Speaker 1: you're not talking ball. So I think that bye week
Speaker 1: definitely affects you. It definitely does. And I mean I've
Speaker 1: been a part of teams where we've had that bye
Speaker 1: week a couple of times. You know. I remember, you know,
Speaker 1: when I played for San Francisco we went to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You know, we had that bye week, and
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, it's like a little mini offseason.
Speaker 1: Which super Bowl was that in San Francisco? That was
Speaker 1: the one that was the Baltimore Oh yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 1: was there at that game. Man. That was that's when
Speaker 1: they turned the lights on. Dude. It was lights went
Speaker 1: out thereon. Dude, she stole it. Literally, I was. I
Speaker 1: was in the it was the Westwood one, NBC Sports
Speaker 1: Radio wise in their sweet the lights were not ducking.
Speaker 1: I was getting low, man. You see the players on
Speaker 1: the field, they were got low to man. That gotta
Speaker 1: scared you. Know what I mean, especially you know at
Speaker 1: a big event like that, everything going on in the world.
Speaker 1: That was scary. Man, that was scared. But that was
Speaker 1: that was a that was a fun week. That was
Speaker 1: a fun nick. That was a good game, man, And
Speaker 1: didn't write the end. I man, that was that was
Speaker 1: I if they threw if they threw the flag on
Speaker 1: that on that final play, I just said, that's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have complaining. It was they were both hand
Speaker 1: fighting and and yeah, that was a tough call right there.
Speaker 1: It was. It just seemed like it felt like defensively,
Speaker 1: that's flag. Yeah, and they didn't want to call a
Speaker 1: flag in the Super Bowl on the final play at
Speaker 1: that moment. Yeah, but it was definitely did I watched
Speaker 1: it because I picked ball toward the win, but I thought, man,
Speaker 1: that was warranted. Yeah. It was all over him. He
Speaker 1: was grabbing, holding, hand fighting, they were, they were going
Speaker 1: at it. But when we talked about, you know, these
Speaker 1: cowboys in that fort, have we ever had success with
Speaker 1: a first round because you think about a go if
Speaker 1: you go back to the Witning in Romo year, I
Speaker 1: think they were thirteen and three had that first round
Speaker 1: by I think it was twenty eleven or something like that,
Speaker 1: and York ended up coming up and beating them down.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, I'm a fan of just
Speaker 1: playing it through. I feel like that momentum that was
Speaker 1: Waite Philips team, and then the other one was was
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's and then so you really kind of have
Speaker 1: to go back into the Jimmy Johnson years where I
Speaker 1: remember that it was in the best regular season game
Speaker 1: I ever saw from EMMT Smith was against the Giants
Speaker 1: and they needed to win the game to secure the
Speaker 1: first round. By Emmett basically, you know, to our shoulder.
Speaker 1: I remember that game. He kept on playing and was
Speaker 1: in Jimmy giving the ball and up and one of
Speaker 1: the things Jimmy said, we needed to get this win
Speaker 1: so we could go where we wanted to go, meaning
Speaker 1: we needed to buy get everybody rested up, and then
Speaker 1: get ourselves going to the super Bowl. But what listening
Speaker 1: to you guys is, hey, you can't treat it a
Speaker 1: playoff by week like a regular season by This is
Speaker 1: a work week. We just don't have to go play
Speaker 1: So we've got to treat it like a work week.
Speaker 1: And and everybody got to under listening to you guys,
Speaker 1: gotta gotta gotta keep your head in it. Because I
Speaker 1: talked to one of the assistant coaches who said it
Speaker 1: was a sai it was a massive failure. He said, Man,
Speaker 1: we said that was just a massive failure. Said that
Speaker 1: was a super Bowl team. You don't get many thirteen
Speaker 1: and three teams in your lifetime, he said. He said,
Speaker 1: we failed on a lot of funds. And one of
Speaker 1: the things he was saw about his coaches like we
Speaker 1: we failed, um to get guys where where they needed
Speaker 1: to be. Said, that was just too good of a
Speaker 1: football team to come out with that kind of effort.
Speaker 1: And um that I'm telling you, man, just just me.
Speaker 1: I was one of those like I'm not even playing
Speaker 1: and I was deflated because it was like, man, yeah
Speaker 1: it was. I was a hard loss. It was it was.
Speaker 1: It was so much good on that twenty sixteen It
Speaker 1: was so much good. And to see it in that way, Um,
Speaker 1: didn't watch the Packers the next week go down to
Speaker 1: Atlanta and basically die and get smacked. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: that same that same throw Aaron Rodgers made to a cook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the same one he made. You know, he dropped it, yea,
Speaker 1: And I was just like in the field goal that
Speaker 1: Crosby kicked at and it was like ding dingk think
Speaker 1: I just went in. It was just like oh man, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was on the field for that too, just watched it.
Speaker 1: Give us some of that, give us a little bit,
Speaker 1: like just a little bit. Now, your hope is since
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was a part of that team, then a
Speaker 1: part of the Death's Catch, and then maybe Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: Cowboys can get that mojo and and and carry it
Speaker 1: for for for the players, that's your hope. But he's
Speaker 1: got that experience out about that Dad's catch. Man, we
Speaker 1: got right McCarthy to rob does a lot man thick
Speaker 1: get up here in the players. Here's the thing I
Speaker 1: keep saying to people about that. Okay, death catches the ball,
Speaker 1: they score, Aaron still getting the ball back he is,
Speaker 1: but we still got an hot though. And you know
Speaker 1: what happens when Aaron Rodgers gets the ball back gets
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Everybody dies. This this this could have been
Speaker 1: amazing to start crime, but I would have wished it
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to at least see you play it out.
Speaker 1: At least you got you gotta go beat us. Yeah, yes, no,
Speaker 1: beat us. Man, it's just I hate to harp on
Speaker 1: all the stuff, but man, the guy had it in
Speaker 1: his hands. It was it took two steps and reached forward.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, man, I mean, clearly it was
Speaker 1: a catch. Coach, it was. I mean it was it was.
Speaker 1: And and look, Mike, Mike, throw the flaight, you had
Speaker 1: to throw the I don't know, I don't And and
Speaker 1: for the NFL to to go ahead and change the round.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately they've done a lot of that. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: look at look at the Saints in that Rams game,
Speaker 1: the inittually championship games. I mean, the league has come
Speaker 1: up with some Wait what we actually benefited from a
Speaker 1: from a crazy call that year when hitching, which you
Speaker 1: know what's funny you say that because I remember watching
Speaker 1: you know, they give it, they take it when it's
Speaker 1: when it's for you, though, I can't what a call
Speaker 1: that way to pick it up. Yes, so I'm in
Speaker 1: the press, who I get ready on they about the
Speaker 1: Lions are about to beat him, and so I'm going back, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be. That's because the Lions to beat
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in nineteen ninety one. I'm like, okay, here
Speaker 1: for some reason, the Lions get the got the Cowboys
Speaker 1: number right right, and get ready to write my whole thing.
Speaker 1: And then you're saying that that was shot. That was there, man,
Speaker 1: that was sh pleasantly shot. Yes, yes, I picked it up.
Speaker 1: And and maybe maybe the Cowboys can get in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Get a little bit of help, because somewhere along the
Speaker 1: way you do need just a little a little bit
Speaker 1: of help along the way to go to go where
Speaker 1: you want to go. Um, let's dive into next. Let's

Speaker 1: You would be the perfect kind of like body guy
Speaker 1: for the Rock. Dad. I the Rock brings in the
Speaker 1: lunatics to handle the small bringing. It's the Rock had
Speaker 1: to bring the lunatic on your can. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: you would have been the purpose been. Oh you could
Speaker 1: have been you know, you could have been great man.
Speaker 1: Hit up? What is it seven Bucks Productions, whatever it's called. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. At this point in my life,
Speaker 1: the possibilities are in there. You go. What is By
Speaker 1: the way, I do expect the Rock to be at Rusylvania.
Speaker 1: I do. He was there last time. It came to
Speaker 1: Jerry World and they bring in the Star Shack was
Speaker 1: out there and they bring into people they don't. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so so maybe all right, just just me thinking, get
Speaker 1: the wheel spinning. They gotta have a couple of Dallas
Speaker 1: cowboys out here. They do. It's at and T Stadium,
Speaker 1: you know, so you can get CD out there. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, a volunteers tribute. Hey, Joe, Joe, you have
Speaker 1: a chariot event tomorrow with who with Charlotte? Okay Charlotte. No,
Speaker 1: Stephanie McMahon, by the way, no really close friends line Hello,
Speaker 1: there you go, the lout. Just drop a little fucking here.
Speaker 1: Charlotte got a great idea. Come on board. It's moving fast.
Speaker 1: Ms leaving the station. I'm giving you one chance. Here
Speaker 1: you go. There, that's it. I can see it right now,
Speaker 1: see it right now. Let's talk running backs here, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's do it by the way, Joe Looney, Barry Church
Speaker 1: who we scrugs this players launch about to you by
Speaker 1: hotels dot Com. Danny mcraib with the day off, so
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones asked on what if I three the fans
Speaker 1: a day by Kevin Gray and R. J. Choppy. If
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is the number one running back, is he
Speaker 1: the better of the two right now? And Jerry responded
Speaker 1: by saying no, he didn't feel that way, and that
Speaker 1: so many times people forget about the power that break
Speaker 1: that Ezekie Elliott brings to the football field and really
Speaker 1: called him a great one to punch. And I found
Speaker 1: the question interesting because the way I'm watching Green Bay
Speaker 1: right now, who has an established runner and Aaron Jones,
Speaker 1: they drafted aj Dillon and people, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And now we're seeing here in
Speaker 1: the second year j and Aaron Jones. This is something
Speaker 1: you don't want any parts of right now, and they
Speaker 1: don't have to have Aaron Rodgers slinging it as much.
Speaker 1: So how come we can look at the Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers and say this is a positive. They're want to punch.
Speaker 1: But people want to divide what the cowboys are doing?
Speaker 1: Too much? With Ezekiel and Tony Pollard us in the
Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah, And I think, you know, I think
Speaker 1: people always gonna try to have that divide and make
Speaker 1: you make you choose, you know, one guy over another.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna sit here and say, you know, Tony Pollard, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the toughest kids I've ever
Speaker 1: He was my locker mate, you know. So we're sitting
Speaker 1: next to each other, and you know, I believe he's
Speaker 1: from Memphis. Yes, you know, I mean this this guy,
Speaker 1: you know, the way he grew up, this you know,
Speaker 1: his kids got a mentality that when he gets that
Speaker 1: ball in his hand, he's gonna make something happen. He's gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna tote the rock and you know,
Speaker 1: put on the show. But since it's Christmas, okay, since
Speaker 1: it's Christmas, you know, Zeke, will you lead my slate tonight?
Speaker 1: It is I gotta go with Zeke, you know, because
Speaker 1: he's he's the rootolf. He's got the red nose. You know,
Speaker 1: he's got that. You know, I don't I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what we can call it as athletes.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just something that's just that's God given
Speaker 1: in you man, that he just he just he hasn't
Speaker 1: and you know, anytime he has the ball in his hands,
Speaker 1: he could, he could, he could make it a game
Speaker 1: change and play and just like with the power and
Speaker 1: all the ability ability that he has, I mean, give
Speaker 1: the kid the ball and good things are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So I definitely gotta go Zeke's. You know, Tony's right there, man,
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's pulling the slate too, but Zeke's
Speaker 1: definitely in the front. You know, he's got that red nose. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's leading away. Well. I definitely love what you said. Then,
Speaker 1: louis talking about the one two punch in in Green Bay,
Speaker 1: because what they do right now, I mean it's a
Speaker 1: great formula because, like you said, when it comes down
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, you know who's getting the ball
Speaker 1: A j dealing and all he's doing is pounding and
Speaker 1: pounding away. So I would love for the Cowboys to
Speaker 1: kind of get that situation going here. But if we're talking,
Speaker 1: if you're making me decide, and we're talking who's the
Speaker 1: lead dog and who's not, I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 1: with TP on this one as of right now, just
Speaker 1: from what I see my eye test. I know what
Speaker 1: Zeke was in the past, and I know what he
Speaker 1: can bring to this, to this run game. But right now,
Speaker 1: these past couple of games, even when you know Tony
Speaker 1: Potter has come back from injury, I just seen that explosiveness.
Speaker 1: I just seen that juice, that speed, and it catches
Speaker 1: my eye, you know, right or wrong, or you know,
Speaker 1: if he's just getting these these opportunities because defenses are
Speaker 1: breathing aside of relief because Zeke is in the game
Speaker 1: like all right, or Zeke's out of the game, like
Speaker 1: all right, though, we don't have to hit that guy anymore.
Speaker 1: And then that's how Tony Potter's taking off, whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be. I just see it with my eyes,
Speaker 1: and this guy is just he's pulling me in. He's
Speaker 1: pulling me in, and every time he touches the rock,
Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to make an explosive play. So
Speaker 1: to me, I gotta go with TP. I still love Zeke,
Speaker 1: but to me, right now, Zig's more of three yards
Speaker 1: in the cloud of dust, and I'm loving with Pol's
Speaker 1: door CJ. This is what happens in the media when
Speaker 1: when people cover their own, they want to eat their own,
Speaker 1: almost sending it away. Who's the number one receiver, Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lambs into Mario Cooper? How about you got two really
Speaker 1: good receivers out here, and okay, who's open and who's
Speaker 1: getting it done? They just go get it done? Right?
Speaker 1: Are we sitting around here and say, well, who's your
Speaker 1: number one defensive end? Is it Randy Gregory is at tank?
Speaker 1: Or you're just saying, you know, man, somebody get to
Speaker 1: the quarterback because they're on the field right and and
Speaker 1: and and let the mica come in and clean up.
Speaker 1: But we want to somehow to bide these running backs.
Speaker 1: And I just yes, Tony Pollard's has an outstanding season.
Speaker 1: He's bringing something that's totally different, But you're gonna throw
Speaker 1: away ezekielit and what he can do and in past
Speaker 1: problem to me, it's just how about this. You got
Speaker 1: two dudes who are getting it done. Minnesota's got two
Speaker 1: dudes who get it done between Dolphin cooking Alexander Madison.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're getting it done right now, just figure
Speaker 1: out how. And really both are injured, so you're really
Speaker 1: it's really almost like, hey, can we just get together?
Speaker 1: Can you guys add up to one dude because they're
Speaker 1: both hurt. I don't think people are talking about that
Speaker 1: or understanding enough. This is where you guys coming because
Speaker 1: you play the game. It's December. Man, ain't nobody healthy, yeah,
Speaker 1: and everybody's nursing something. Should he be playing? It sounds
Speaker 1: like he shouldn't be playing, but he's playing because he
Speaker 1: wants to be there for his team. I remember talking
Speaker 1: to Terence Newman one time, and Terence new was getting
Speaker 1: burnt at Corman. He was getting burnt CB. You remember
Speaker 1: this man. It was times man teeny was just getting
Speaker 1: burnt and people thought he was washed up. He wasn't
Speaker 1: any good well turned up man. He had tore up
Speaker 1: some stuff from his abtom into whatever, but just kept playing.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to DeMarcus Ware. I'll never forget this. I'm
Speaker 1: talking to DeMarcus Ware. Toys or us Man, and he's
Speaker 1: worried about getting cut. Yeah, and he I can't remember
Speaker 1: what was hurting on him, but he was hurt and
Speaker 1: didn't want to tell anybody in the media. Just I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Man. He can't do what he used to do.
Speaker 1: He's overpaid, you know what. He was hurt, ends up
Speaker 1: getting cut, goes to Denman was a super Bowl and
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at Ezekiel Elliot and I'm remembering these
Speaker 1: lessons talking to these players. You know what, man, the
Speaker 1: best ones and the ones who the Warriors don't sit
Speaker 1: around here moaning growing to us in the media that
Speaker 1: they're hurt. They have a they have a responsibility to
Speaker 1: respect for their teammates to just sack it up and
Speaker 1: go play. And I feel that's what Elliot is doing.
Speaker 1: And so when I hear these arguments man party, He's like, Man,
Speaker 1: this is kind of disrespectful from the standpoint, you don't
Speaker 1: know what these guys go through in this room. And
Speaker 1: if you really knew, you wouldn't be so much all
Speaker 1: this guy's lost it here and worth the Money's not
Speaker 1: that I mean, that's just why even if they did know,
Speaker 1: do you think they would care, Like, like, do you
Speaker 1: think they'd be like, you know what, you know, Zeke's
Speaker 1: injured right now, we're gonna you know, they don't but
Speaker 1: they don't understand. Yeah, that's the thing. They don't. They
Speaker 1: don't understand. No, it ain't that it takes a lot
Speaker 1: of explosion away from him. Man, no idea how they're painful.
Speaker 1: That is. I'm so surprised my guys come back from
Speaker 1: that was the hype pronouncer Planner fasciit Like, I thought
Speaker 1: that was like a you know, a couple nine week something.
Speaker 1: Is if this guy's come back and he's got the
Speaker 1: explosions still, So, I mean, it's I'm surprised he came back.
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, knew. I like the approach of
Speaker 1: the two of them combined together and get the ultimate
Speaker 1: Russian attack. Like it doesn't have to be you know,
Speaker 1: Zeke getting majority. It doesn't have to be Tony Polter
Speaker 1: getting the majority. Who'sver the most productive at that time?
Speaker 1: Just feed the hot hand. Yeah, can you win the game?
Speaker 1: That's win the game? Win the game. Excellent problem them
Speaker 1: to have, you know, and sitting you know, if you're
Speaker 1: a coach, it's like I'm I'm blessed to have these
Speaker 1: two guys. I'm blessed that, you know, be able to
Speaker 1: have to choose between Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. Know
Speaker 1: you want Joe Random walking through that door. It was
Speaker 1: part of them Joe Random years. Huh when you get
Speaker 1: to the Boys twenty sixteen, you just missed out on
Speaker 1: Joe Rando. Oh that was some rough ones man, right right,
Speaker 1: So so you're not too far removed from that. So
Speaker 1: once again, this is a spoiled fan base. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very spoiled. I mean Cowboys I put out I put
Speaker 1: out on Twitter, all right, you know, give me see
Speaker 1: if I can pull it up here. I said, give
Speaker 1: me one word to describe the wind. I saw stuff
Speaker 1: like underwhelming. I mean people were killing the wind. Yeah, yes, man,
Speaker 1: it was. It was it was uh, I mean it
Speaker 1: was I found personally just me, I'm like, man, you
Speaker 1: guys are are kind of spoiled. Man, you kind of
Speaker 1: weyal when you just sit around here you want them. Well,
Speaker 1: you know this this isn't college football, man, just like yesterday, man,
Speaker 1: And you know it's the fans bring so much fun
Speaker 1: to the game. It brings so much fun to the game.
Speaker 1: But two, it's you know, it's it's different when you're
Speaker 1: on that field. Yeah, it's different when you're out there
Speaker 1: on that field man, and you're getting hidden, you're rolling
Speaker 1: with the punches while you're down there. It's a different world, man.
Speaker 1: And I think you want to make everybody happy as
Speaker 1: a football player. I think I think that's always you know,
Speaker 1: in the back of our minds. I think the ultimate
Speaker 1: goal is to win the game. But you want to
Speaker 1: make everybody happy. You want the fans to feel good,
Speaker 1: you want your family to feel good at the end
Speaker 1: of the game. And it's tough to please everybody, it is, Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's my tweet, says, give me one word to
Speaker 1: describe today as Dallas Cowboys win over the Giants once person.
Speaker 1: When unsettling, when gritty, expected, improved, alarming, when defense strong,
Speaker 1: emoji overrated, wow, uninspiring, underwhelming me this is December. Offense
Speaker 1: offensive wins unsatisfactory, crape, adequate, win, underwhelming, average, boring, sloppy,
Speaker 1: old expected defense, defense solid win, frustrating, average, nervous, boring, worrisome, boring.
Speaker 1: Sorry you got dubbed, though, I tell you this. This
Speaker 1: is your fan base. Defense dak ugly blood. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is what the fans responded on to
Speaker 1: a win over the Giants to get you to ten wins?
Speaker 1: Like I do you think the Cleveland fan base would
Speaker 1: love that type of win right now? Like you know,
Speaker 1: like how about the Tampa Bay fan base would love
Speaker 1: it right now? Lost? It's not just lost to the things.
Speaker 1: Shut out. God wins out for the year, Leonard, for
Speaker 1: your top running basketball. This is one of two weeks.
Speaker 1: And this is what the Cowboy fan base is mad. Arizona.
Speaker 1: Tom Tom broke his little you know, his pad, you know,
Speaker 1: sitting there watching. I was like, hey, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pay for that d He broke his Yeah, he
Speaker 1: broke his I thought he cussed out his own coach.
Speaker 1: But he went over to the Saint silent it said that, yeah,
Speaker 1: you ain't heard a word, man, I'm telling you heard
Speaker 1: a word, maccause there was somebody else Cam Newton's loser.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this guy would do such a thing.
Speaker 1: What sportsmanship is that he went to the other sidelines
Speaker 1: man to address the Cowboys fans, you know, And I
Speaker 1: think with all the success that this organization has had,
Speaker 1: there's there's an expectation, but I think when you get
Speaker 1: to the point where you're not satisfied, I would have
Speaker 1: win as a fan, is that doesn't that kind of
Speaker 1: take the fun away from the game as a fan,
Speaker 1: because I know, you know, it's like, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: growing up, I was a Dolphin fan. I was a
Speaker 1: Dolphin fan and I didn't you know, I'm sorry, I was.
Speaker 1: I got to see Dan Marino, I got you know,
Speaker 1: I was. I was a fan of the game, and
Speaker 1: I you know when when Miami when they won, you know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't wasn't about the points. You know, if they
Speaker 1: won Monday, I'm wearing my jersey. The jersey was a
Speaker 1: little snug. It was a little snug. You know, they
Speaker 1: had the old Rebok But you know, you you enjoy
Speaker 1: the win and you're happy for the team. Man. But
Speaker 1: I know as a player, hey, I'm taking a win because, man,
Speaker 1: a win makes everything better. You come in the locker room,
Speaker 1: you could joke. I mean, it's just I mean, it's
Speaker 1: the floodgates are open at this point, even even you've
Speaker 1: been in there and on victory Monday's Garrett vision, it's better.
Speaker 1: You know, how he used to be there with the laser.
Speaker 1: I'm telling everything is better with a dub. You get
Speaker 1: less Garrett vision. The meetings are much more relaxed. If
Speaker 1: you mess up on a play, it's just like, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta do this better church, you gotta do when
Speaker 1: you lose though, that play can last about five minutes.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's funny you bring that up. Man.
Speaker 1: I always called that meeting the cookery and bring you
Speaker 1: in there and put you in the cooker. Boy. But
Speaker 1: you know what if you if you if you're on
Speaker 1: there and you mess up with you know, I was
Speaker 1: a jokester of meetings. You know, it's always just like
Speaker 1: what coach you we want it can't be mad at
Speaker 1: me forever exactly exactly, man, Yeah, it's it's it's, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to please everybody. It's not gonna happen back if
Speaker 1: you win, enjoy it. Football is a fun sport for
Speaker 1: the players, fans, everybody involved. Have fun with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fun with it. There's two things I keep saying,
Speaker 1: especially as I read this. Number one, you don't understand
Speaker 1: how other teams are going, you know, start to he
Speaker 1: mad the Cowboys and said we brought up We just
Speaker 1: brought up examples of other teams who didn't get into
Speaker 1: I mean, asked Tennessee right about now how they feel
Speaker 1: about their football team, just a team. It was rolling
Speaker 1: for a minute. He was considered to be a top
Speaker 1: Power five, top five team in the league. Right now
Speaker 1: he's spinning. Just just lost that a horrible loss to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: The other thing I go to is people want it
Speaker 1: to be a straight line. Nah, he supposed to go crusherman.
Speaker 1: This is not Alabama football, this is not Ohio State.
Speaker 1: How many teams have been undefeated, one has done the gauntlet? Well,
Speaker 1: only one has been undefeated throughout the whole playoffs and
Speaker 1: regular season, the Patriots when sixteen, and then they lost
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which once again shows you it's not
Speaker 1: a straight line. That it's hard. Yes, it is an
Speaker 1: up and down type league. And and I actually Jerry
Speaker 1: talked about it, Tenny. He said this, it's designed for
Speaker 1: you to be a five hundred team, the way the
Speaker 1: NFL saidup's designed for you to be five hundred. How
Speaker 1: do you figure out how to get those one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four wins over five hundred that take you where you
Speaker 1: want to go? It's hard and the Cowboys won three
Speaker 1: straight and as and kind of going back this year, Joe,
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys won games and if they weren't an
Speaker 1: impressive went people knitpicking. They won in New Worlds and
Speaker 1: then we see what New Orleans has done in Tampa.
Speaker 1: They win in New England. Well, she won, you know,
Speaker 1: left a lot of points on the field. She won.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to go over there, but you won,
Speaker 1: and then you saw what New England became. That's the
Speaker 1: problem I think for Cowboy fans. It's you just it's
Speaker 1: not Alabama football. Man. You can run up here beat
Speaker 1: people at twenty points. Yeah, I mean what I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't keep up with a lot of stats, but
Speaker 1: I mean, what are what are the stats on you know,
Speaker 1: games being won by one score? You know, I mean
Speaker 1: that's basically the least. This is what you see every game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just all right, how about this, Joe, This is what
Speaker 1: makes it better. Just go to the Las Vegas line, okay,
Speaker 1: because ain't nobody winning more money. I'm taking people more
Speaker 1: money to baba. Okay. So the Vegas rarely has lines
Speaker 1: that are over ten. You know that there are seven plus.
Speaker 1: It's rare. It's rare okay, and the Cowboys were ten
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. They won twenty one to six.
Speaker 1: But people don't like the style. And yes, there are
Speaker 1: there are things, and I'm not trying to be being
Speaker 1: mister positive all the way to say offensively, they got
Speaker 1: some stuff to work they definitely. You tell me right
Speaker 1: now in this league outside Green Bay, who doesn't have
Speaker 1: some things they're trying to work on right now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine everybody everybody got warts. There's nobody right now to
Speaker 1: say even Green Bay defensive leader right now looking like
Speaker 1: hold up, we place. Everybody's got a little bit of
Speaker 1: something here. So um yeah, fans just enjoy, enjoy Pollard
Speaker 1: and enjoy Zeke. Just hope that they can start to
Speaker 1: get this thing turned around. Here they are. They won
Speaker 1: three straight row games that hadn't happened in forever around
Speaker 1: here with the Dallas Cowboys. Now it's Sunday night on
Speaker 1: NBC Washington coming in here. Opportunity to go ahead and
Speaker 1: stick the fork in them. By the way, they're still
Speaker 1: waiting on the Washington's in Philly, but quarterbacks Taylor Heineke
Speaker 1: and Kyle Allen are back in DC, still awaiting their
Speaker 1: COVID results mad do you play a game like that? So, like,
Speaker 1: how do you like if if you're the quarterback? We
Speaker 1: ain't talking about just no you know, rotational guy coming in.
Speaker 1: You are on the quarterback. I'm good. I'm gonna hop
Speaker 1: on a flight, get the Philly and boom. I gotta
Speaker 1: play like switch the whole mentality. That's that's tough man.
Speaker 1: So so if they're cleared. According to JP Findley of
Speaker 1: NBC Sports Washington, if Heineken Alan are cleared, they'll get
Speaker 1: on up to Philly. So right, Rod Rivera said it's

Speaker 1: I mean this rowdy was like six heavy A little.
Speaker 1: I mean he might be onto something new. I mean
Speaker 1: he looks like here, he looked like he was a
Speaker 1: tight end out here. I mean just just yoked riding.
Speaker 1: So I mean the multiverse, man, is what's going on
Speaker 1: with these the guys on? I guess what? That's a
Speaker 1: two rowley. I have to get down working with Brick
Speaker 1: Brown to get that round. Coaches smells in there, get healthy, lands,
Speaker 1: loud anybody, Hotels dot com, Joe Looney, very church, and
Speaker 1: we scrugt. Danny mccraze got the down. In fact, Danny
Speaker 1: mccraize is out doing the Dallas Cowboys camp. So there
Speaker 1: are camps today and tomorrow out there at at and
Speaker 1: T Stadiums, and Danny's out there working with the kids
Speaker 1: running these camps. And so good luck to him, and
Speaker 1: good luck mine, good luck treble with two. There's some
Speaker 1: things I have no desires to do. I just ain't
Speaker 1: got the patience man like you know what, you want
Speaker 1: to screw it. Then I had the opportunity to coach
Speaker 1: my son's five year old flag football. Did it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I wasn't the head coach. I was an assistant,
Speaker 1: you know, the head coach, and I just wanted to
Speaker 1: go out there because he's I mean, these five year
Speaker 1: olds are all over the place boys. I mean, you
Speaker 1: know you're trying to, you know, teach them how to
Speaker 1: pull the flag, and they're like dragonfly. It's gotta be
Speaker 1: tough to wrangler men. Man, Come on, get that. You
Speaker 1: gotta gotta pull the flag, you know. And then you
Speaker 1: remind yourself, you know what, they're five years old. I
Speaker 1: don't want to play this anymore. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I don't do it. Yeah. I watch my daughters play
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I'm just like, no, why I
Speaker 1: tried to coach a team one year? I gotta go
Speaker 1: for it. Well, the problem with her coaches, you knew
Speaker 1: you were gonna get sucked in eventually. So while I
Speaker 1: didn't have to go coach because I had to work.
Speaker 1: I gotta work. But of course I found myself I
Speaker 1: gotta go home and get the balls, because she got
Speaker 1: the balls. I gotta get the money to pay the referee.
Speaker 1: I gotta go get snacks there and do other stuffy slices. Sweetie,
Speaker 1: I was qul got your coffee. I got your coffee here?
Speaker 1: What did you forget? So why don't you go? Because
Speaker 1: it takes separate cars. I had to go home, so yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know this to do that, And then had to
Speaker 1: take the other one to a game, and then she
Speaker 1: was scared of the soccer ball that wanted to hit her.
Speaker 1: Why are we here? I here? You don't have to
Speaker 1: do this' gonna waste no money like this wasting up? Yeah, mane,
Speaker 1: I get my kids, get my kids out of sports.
Speaker 1: I got one left I got to get. Luckily, I
Speaker 1: got the first two are gone. Oldest one tried to
Speaker 1: talk about doing some club volleyball. So, so my wife's
Speaker 1: in California. She understand what club volleyball means in Texas.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so you need by five to
Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars. Okay, And I said, because it's a
Speaker 1: false ward, I said, you'll be in Sugarland, Texas on weekends,
Speaker 1: or you been up in Oklahoma, or maybe you're gonna
Speaker 1: be out Abilene and maybe out of Louis. I said,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be you because I gotta work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: gets you ready to trap? It's all day, okay, the
Speaker 1: volleyball is turned all day and and it's like, you
Speaker 1: don't understand this commitment in. These coaches are trying to
Speaker 1: wrangle these kids in. I mean, you know this five
Speaker 1: year old flag team. They had a full combine for
Speaker 1: these kids, short shuttles forty at all. The draft again
Speaker 1: about this, there's a whole draft for these kids foot football.
Speaker 1: So Frisco does like a combine and then all the
Speaker 1: coaches come out and watch the kids. And that's draft
Speaker 1: because they don't want to load every team with it,
Speaker 1: like one team has like all the good kids on it.
Speaker 1: So these are five year olds. Five year olds, I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding. I mean it is serious. Now, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: that's that's not uncommon. When I played baseball, Um, if
Speaker 1: fort brag we had that, we had to we had
Speaker 1: to combine, right, you ran to forty, you hit, you
Speaker 1: caught yourself. So they had that because you don't want
Speaker 1: to have all the They had that kids. Yeah, one
Speaker 1: who can throw the ball and the coaches will make
Speaker 1: trade wants you know, and then you know, all all
Speaker 1: the dads and parents are coaching, knowing I get some
Speaker 1: information every now and then. You know, all the people
Speaker 1: were very kind and whatnot out there, but you know
Speaker 1: they're holding these kids on the same team. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like, man, these kids are out here bawling. I mean, God,
Speaker 1: bless our team. You know we played We played the
Speaker 1: Cowboys first, the first play, the first game of the
Speaker 1: season in this flag football league. I'm sorry I get
Speaker 1: long winded on here, but I mean they had cheerleaders,
Speaker 1: they had the you know, the thing you run out
Speaker 1: of the inflatable. I mean it was I'm sitting here
Speaker 1: like you know, and we're just sick looking at our kids.
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're throwing rocks in the creek on
Speaker 1: the side. Hey, guys inside to play. Joe was telling
Speaker 1: us what I tell this, these places to replay. The
Speaker 1: rich kids. They they had them starting and now they
Speaker 1: bust them way from Highland. They bust them from Highland Park.
Speaker 1: Out here was the check a bur Certificates team. Kids.
Speaker 1: It looks like me out there ain't drinking. They're gonna
Speaker 1: get the good though. What's the Muscleville pre work out?
Speaker 1: They shift out there, like what is going on about
Speaker 1: to get y'all the work pre snap motions and all
Speaker 1: the time shout out to South oak Cliff football man
Speaker 1: for the state. What is the first one? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: was able to go to the game out there at
Speaker 1: at and T Stadium, So they're technically they're telling you
Speaker 1: the first since fifty eight. But I thought, what's they
Speaker 1: won eighty or something in nineteen eighty eight the Red
Speaker 1: Dallas Carter. Yeah, alas Carter won and Jesse Armstead was
Speaker 1: a part of the team. And then you know, months later,
Speaker 1: on a technicality some grade from a teacher, they took
Speaker 1: it away. It's kind of like they're trying to make
Speaker 1: you say, you know, I didn't see Reggie Reggie Bush
Speaker 1: when the highestman and I didn't see that because they
Speaker 1: already won. The game was already won, Right, That's that's
Speaker 1: you know that? Yeah? Yeah, so that's what they the
Speaker 1: whole Uh check it out on ESPNA thirty for thirty
Speaker 1: on it. Okay, Jock Taylor's a part of it. They
Speaker 1: interviewed him because he had covered that team and so
Speaker 1: and then one of my one of my buddies went
Speaker 1: to high school. I think he was on that team
Speaker 1: or he or he went to Carter, I can't remember which,
Speaker 1: but he knew a lot about it. That's how I
Speaker 1: had known about it. But it was dirty. Man. Greg
Speaker 1: Allis did a movie on the Diallas Carter team, Cowboy.
Speaker 1: Greg I did not see. I did not see it,
Speaker 1: but he did an actual emotion picture. But it's just, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just end of the day, just how can we
Speaker 1: take something away from these kids because we dined like
Speaker 1: these kids. These kids worked humble and it was like
Speaker 1: that giving folks that work and making him take it. Boy,
Speaker 1: but they look nice. Coach, they big, they fast, they big.
Speaker 1: They said that already. But when you can't see, that's
Speaker 1: my thing. You can't see, can't you know? Oh? Oh,
Speaker 1: I never saw the fat five we took were gonna
Speaker 1: take these two final four banners that no, no, bro.
Speaker 1: We saw him play Duke and Caroline in the finals.
Speaker 1: We saw that. You can't make me unsee. Oh, they
Speaker 1: weren't there, Like okay, um offensive line here, Joe. There's
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of rotations going on of shuffling guys
Speaker 1: back and forth. You've got Washington, Arizona in Philly. Now,
Speaker 1: what does Joe Philbin need to be doing with this
Speaker 1: offensive mind to get this thing where it needs to
Speaker 1: be come playoff time, and do you rest Tiring Smith
Speaker 1: against Washington depending on how what goes on tonight, well
Speaker 1: I think I definitely think you know, if if, if
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to allow Tiring to get healthy,
Speaker 1: you gotta let him get healthy, because he I mean he,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best players in the
Speaker 1: league of his position. I mean, he is a monster
Speaker 1: out there on the field. So if you got a
Speaker 1: chance to let Tyring get some rest, you're gonna need him,
Speaker 1: you know, get get him everything he needs to, you know,
Speaker 1: show up in games that are gonna, you know, really
Speaker 1: mean something to the football team. As far as the rotation,
Speaker 1: I've always founded as an offensive lineman, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta put five guys out there and trust them and
Speaker 1: one if you if you if you, if you take
Speaker 1: guys out, put guys in. That does a lot to
Speaker 1: a player's confidence. And on the offensive line, a lot
Speaker 1: of what you do is about having confidence. I know
Speaker 1: when I when I started that twenty eighteen season, Travis
Speaker 1: Frederick said something to me that, you know, really changed
Speaker 1: my mindset on you know, being a starter. He said,
Speaker 1: you know, ninety percent of it is just confidence, Joe.
Speaker 1: Just you know, be confident in yourself and go out
Speaker 1: there and play. But when you get when you get
Speaker 1: when you're being rotated or you're being you know, pulled
Speaker 1: out of your starting role, that hurts you as a player.
Speaker 1: That can that can you know, hurt your confidence. So
Speaker 1: I definitely think it's important that coach Philbin finds, you know,
Speaker 1: five guys that he's like, hey, these are my these
Speaker 1: are my guys, and they're gonna go out there and
Speaker 1: play for me. And it's great to get everybody experience
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I'm not down playing any of that. It's
Speaker 1: wonderful to get guys live reps when you can. If
Speaker 1: you're up in a game and you can get players
Speaker 1: in there and get them reps. You gotta get reps
Speaker 1: because I think, as we know, the only way to
Speaker 1: get better at playing in the NFL as by plane.
Speaker 1: You gotta be out there plan but as the offensive
Speaker 1: line goes, you need five guys out there consistently playing
Speaker 1: with one another because that's the group on the team
Speaker 1: that's you know, you gotta be all on the same
Speaker 1: page at one time, or things could really it could
Speaker 1: really get out of hand. So you definitely pick those
Speaker 1: five guys and put them out there and go play.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a quick question, Is it hard
Speaker 1: to go like how you've seen Steel how they got
Speaker 1: them going right tackle, left tackle, right tackle? Is it
Speaker 1: hard to go back and forth with those positions? Oh? Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's because I mean it completely changes your techniques, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're kicksliding on your your
Speaker 1: right leg versus your left leg, you know, it completely
Speaker 1: changes what you're doing. I don't as a backup. You know,
Speaker 1: when when you get thrown into the fire, you know,
Speaker 1: run game, you're gonna always be there in a run game.
Speaker 1: I think all offensive linemen in the NFL would be
Speaker 1: be good in the run game. You know, as an
Speaker 1: offensive line, you have this mentality, you have this grinded
Speaker 1: out mentality when you run the ball just you know,
Speaker 1: destroy the man in front of me. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to the technical aspect of the game and you
Speaker 1: get into your set and whoever's across from that ball
Speaker 1: from you, it's it's a lot. You know, you're asking
Speaker 1: you're asking a guy a lot, you know, from going
Speaker 1: from right tackle, left tackle, left guard, right guard, center,
Speaker 1: or anywhere in between. So it's definitely something that you
Speaker 1: don't take lightly because these techniques they're there, they are
Speaker 1: they are so homed in. You know, it's one of
Speaker 1: it's one of the positions where it's it's it's it's
Speaker 1: so technical. But you look at a guy like Tyre Smith.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the NFL's hard, but he makes
Speaker 1: it look easy. He makes it look easy. You know,
Speaker 1: he gets those those big paws on you and I
Speaker 1: love as you know, his elbow, the big elbow breaks
Speaker 1: out there. It looks like the terminator. Yes, six six,
Speaker 1: you know, got a six pack. I want to abe.
Speaker 1: I mean he's rocked up there. Yeah, So you know,
Speaker 1: if you can, definitely, you know, have have have him
Speaker 1: out there, and you know, get your guys out there
Speaker 1: and Zach Martin out there lyle get these guys playing
Speaker 1: with each other and get them ready for the playoffs
Speaker 1: to go make a run for that trophy. It's just
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting because do you try how how much
Speaker 1: do you maybe save tiring for the Arizona game or
Speaker 1: you know, or do you rest in the rest of
Speaker 1: the regular season, so you've got him ready to go,
Speaker 1: and obviously we don't know the extent of where he
Speaker 1: is with the ankle because he's missed three games beforehand,
Speaker 1: and so is it's gonna be enough three four games?
Speaker 1: But that means you're gonna have Steal and Secy going
Speaker 1: here at the left and then um Collins on the right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so it's it's it may not be as simple
Speaker 1: as just trying to say, hey, here's our five right now.
Speaker 1: It depends on hey, what's what's the health, but it's
Speaker 1: it's a challenge, It definitely is. And I want to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to you know, see Will color Wood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it stepped up. I mean yeah, you know that's a
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough position to be in as
Speaker 1: a player, you know, yeah, I mean contract, that's a
Speaker 1: tough position to be in. Man. And I know Connor.
Speaker 1: Connor is a great dude. I mean, he has his
Speaker 1: faith at the end of the day, and I know
Speaker 1: he knows whether it's football or whatever he's doing, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be great at it. But I mean that that mentality,
Speaker 1: you know, to to to be taken off the field
Speaker 1: and then put back in and still be expected to
Speaker 1: play at that high level. That's tough. Yeah, that's tough
Speaker 1: to do. So I definitely gotta, you know, give a
Speaker 1: shout out to my harmy man for that. He he
Speaker 1: really showed you know, his mental his mental toughness, you know,
Speaker 1: in the game. And I think that's what that's the
Speaker 1: big change, you know, from the game back then till now.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the it's the it's the mental aspect
Speaker 1: you know of the game. Yeah, real quickly, I know
Speaker 1: we're running running a little long, but how do you
Speaker 1: feel the handling of you know, Terrence Steele, was that
Speaker 1: right or wrong? Seeing as though you know, Lyle was
Speaker 1: suspended to five games, he still came in there, performed
Speaker 1: well at the right tackle, pretty much solidified his spot there.
Speaker 1: But then when things started, you know, injury started happening
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, they moved in the left tackle.
Speaker 1: That's why I asked you was it hard to go
Speaker 1: right tackle the left tackle because he strugged at the
Speaker 1: left tackle spot. And when he struggled there, Collins came
Speaker 1: at the right side. And now it's you know Colin
Speaker 1: spot and T Smith spot on the left and now
Speaker 1: T Steal is just you know, he's a swing tackle. Now,
Speaker 1: how do you feel they handled that whole process? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he can't replace the Lyle Collins. You know,
Speaker 1: if Lyle Collins is ready to play, you know, unfortunately
Speaker 1: he did have the incident off the field. But if
Speaker 1: this man is ready to play and he's ready to go,
Speaker 1: put him in the game. Man. I mean you can obviously.
Speaker 1: I mean Lyle the way I can describe his play,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a bully out there. You've seen the
Speaker 1: Mighty Ducks. Remember the Mighty Ducks. You got those, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know him and Zach, you know, together,
Speaker 1: that's what they remind me of. Looking at them play man,
Speaker 1: and when they're playing together and they're they're out there,
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, they're out there crushing guys. You gotta
Speaker 1: gotta have the bad guys. Okay, So now you and
Speaker 1: and mc craig can put it to rest. We got
Speaker 1: the we got the perspective of an offensive land guy,
Speaker 1: and truly he played the positions. I gotta go with him.
Speaker 1: I gotta go with him. He played the positions. End
Speaker 1: it right right there, You're good, right there? Now we
Speaker 1: know we put it to rest. Yes, yes, all right,
Speaker 1: Joe Looney Bury Church knew we scrusted Joe. You're out tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but your back Thursday Thursday. Okay, so you and I
Speaker 1: will do it. Tomorrow's going to camp here and all right,
