<v Speaker 3>Jess Navares and Christy Scales in the studio with me today. Guys,

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>it's been a minute since I've talked to you, well,

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.959
<v Speaker 3>not really. We've seen each other in passing, but that's

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 3>that's pretty much it.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 4>But when you go from seeing each other every day

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 4>to once week, it's little weird, weird. It feels like

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 4>a breakup.

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Low key, it was a little weird.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, we're back though, we're back better with our well

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.119

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 5>and what do you.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Have going on? Are you emulating him right now? Love that?

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Lining up?

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 6>Lining up your kick?

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Chas He told me I couldn't kick, so I just

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 4>have to do this a practice I did earlier. She

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 4>saw me. She said, kick right here before you got here,

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 4>and I did and she went, yeah, the was it

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 4>was not.

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Okay, too bad, too bad Tyler Bastd use that for Buffalo,

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, soon as a.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Wig wide ride.

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 5>I just went, oh, man, poor Buffalo fans. Just was

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 5>too reminiscent of the Scott Norwood miss back in Super Bowl.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 6>And man, but what.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 5>A great weekend of games and so much happening. The latest,

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 5>of course, Jim Harbaugh now officially with us Andy A Chargers.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 6>All right, sorry, dang it, the Los Angeles Chargers.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Five year deal. Well we just announced it there.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, crazy.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you guys think he's gonna I was just mentioned

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 3>a little bit before we got on camera that he

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 3>might possibly I could see him bringing bringing in his

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Michigan staff.

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>That'd be yep, that'd be pretty wild.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Why would you not at that point? Why would you not.

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>That goes to the question which you asked, what happens

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to Kellen Moore?

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Probably less of more, is my guess.

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>You know what to take your mic away, to take

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 3>your immediately.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's that's the thing.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 5>People don't People don't think about the Domino's falling and

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 5>families affected, Kellen and Julie and their little kids.

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's just interesting. It's interesting because when you

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 4>think of a head coaching change, you think it's just

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 4>the one person, and then it ripples down and yeah,

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I'll see what happens.

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 3>But we've got we got we got a little bit

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 3>of news. Not really much going on around here. But

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 3>of course McCarthy is staying. We didn't get a chance

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>to talk about that because he announced it, well they

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 3>announced it after of course our podcast.

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what are y'all I'm sorry.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, No, I just wanted to kind of touch on,

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, what's y'all's thoughts of us keeping McCarthy kind

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 3>of like the benefits from that? Maybe I guess you

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 3>could say some cons from keeping McCarthy has one more

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 3>one more you're left on his deal.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So what's y'all thoughts?

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, the pros are the continuity of the offense and

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 5>the play calling and the same system, the verbiage and

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 5>DAK in particular, but the whole offense not having to

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 5>learn a new system. And it's hard to argue against

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, the top scoring offense in the league and

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 5>the numbers and the success that the offense had through

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 5>the majority of the season. The cons are selling to

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 5>Cowboys Nation.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 6>What's different?

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, yeah, and.

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Same thing.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, twelve wins for three consecutive seasons, amazing hasn't been

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 5>done in Cowboys history. That's you know, high winning percentage,

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 5>all of that. But here with the Cowboys, it's measured

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 5>in playoff success in Super Bowls, and so until you

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 5>get to the Super Bowl, they'll be answering the same

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 5>question every year.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 3>I think for me, you've obviously seen the love that

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 3>these players have a McCarthy, So it kind of goes

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>back to what you were saying, like the consistency, right,

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 3>and I mean the players are of course, when the

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 3>announcement was made, they went to Twitter posting that viral

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 3>video of him in the locker room. So I mean,

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 3>I think that players get that one consistency of getting

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, that same system, like you kind of mentioned,

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 3>but you also get to see how McCarthy continues to

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 3>develop Dak, right, because you've seen the best of Dak

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 3>this year, and you get to see what he does

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 3>with a guy.

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Like Trey Lance as well.

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>You obviously know that McCarthy's really good with developing quarterbacks,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 3>so I think I think that's actually going to be

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty cool to see as well.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree, I agree with both of you, and

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 4>I think consistency is the best word. And you know,

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 4>as far as Dak, we talked about this last week

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 4>last week, having you know, if they decided not to

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 4>renew McCarthy or I guess go with his last year

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 4>on his deal, that's three different systems he would have

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 4>had to be under in the last three years. And

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 4>I think, especially where he's at in his career, expecting

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 4>an older quarterback to continue to adjust that way is

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 4>just not setting him up for success. And then the

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 4>ripple effect it has on the rest of the offense. So,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 4>as far as you know, another year of them working

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 4>out the kinks of McCarthy in the play caller. And

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 4>what I really liked about his press conference when he

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 4>talked about that is you know, they went through everything already,

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 4>so when you think of things in terms of doing

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 4>it the first time, there are some kinks in it,

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 4>and we saw that throughout the course of the season.

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Your real turnaround time was the bye week, and that's

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 4>when things kind of turned around and you know they

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 4>got fixed and adjusted. But you won't have to see

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 4>that next season because they already know what is going

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 4>to work for them what is not. And I think

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 4>the biggest thing I'm going to look for in this

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 4>second year of the McCarthy offense is the run game.

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that's really one of the biggest questions I

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 4>still have going into this season. But overall I was

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 4>for that move and I'm glad that he gets another year.

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully you can break that threshold.

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>What are some things that you guys dislike about this

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 3>move or not dislike, but just some.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 5>Cons Yeah, I think it's more what's the definition of

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 5>insanity doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 5>So I think the naysayers and the critics are, you know,

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 5>why do you want consistency when the same thing has

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 5>happened where you get to the playoffs and then have failure.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 5>And I think it's not just that the Cowboys lost

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 5>in the first round this season, but the way they

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 5>lost into an up and coming team and to be

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 5>down twenty seven to nothing, I mean, they're really what

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 5>excuses can you have for that? There aren't any, and

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 5>so to me, that's the biggest con. The other thing

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 5>is we're still not sure what's going to happen with

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 5>dan Quinn and the defense. The thing is, these slots

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 5>are filling up this time of year, this coaching carousel

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 5>of head coaches, it's like a game of musical chairs.

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 5>And so now these slots are filling up. You have

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Brian Callahan in Atlanta.

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 6>Now you've got Harbaugh.

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 5>Excuse me, Callahan is with the Tennessee Titans. And then

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 5>multiple interviews for Belichick and others in Atlanta include dan

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 5>Quinn interviewed there the Commanders. So you're still unsure, you know,

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 5>this time next week hopefully we'll have some will have

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 5>some definitive to talk about with the Cowboys defense and

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 5>whether there'll be any changes on the coaching staff. But

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, remember it's not just a coordinator that that

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 5>has gone. Oftentimes, the contracts are such that the it matches.

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 5>So if a coordinator were to leave, how many coaches

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 5>would he take with them? So it's not just a

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 5>one for one. Sometimes you're replacing multiple spots.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 4>And not only that, but you look at the laundry

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 4>list of the free agents that are in the Cowboys

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 4>locker room come the off season, a lot of those

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 4>guys are the dan Quinn guys. Really, when you look

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 4>at who is on that list, they're the dan Quinn

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 4>guys that came in his first year, that have followed

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 4>him before, that have a track record of following him

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 4>where he's gone, came from Atlanta coming here. He's just

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 4>that kind of coach to these guys where he ohs,

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 4>they follow And so that kind of worries me as

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 4>far as personnel is who could follow It's not just coaches,

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 4>it could also be personnel. And we'll see, hopefully this

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 4>time next week we have a definitive answer. That'd be

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 4>nice to just know what's going on.

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>I think what worries me is you talk about the

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 3>laundry list of you know, defensive guys, there's there's quite

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 3>a few offensive guys too, you know, especially with kind

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 3>of like what you mentioned mentioned the run game you

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 3>got Tony Paul Rico Donald.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>That's two guys right there. Oh wow.

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Eagles have also requested an interview with Kellen Moore for

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>their host see job. There's a lot of news going on.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 5>And they've got Vic Fangio for the defensive coordinator who

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 5>had been had a mutual parting of the ways with

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Miami earlier this week. So Sirianni keeps his job with

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 5>the Eagles, but they're going to have a couple of

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 5>new coordinators.

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 6>So very interesting.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, sorry, my bad, I lost you.

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, you're just talking about it, You're good.

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, talking about the run game, some of the different

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 5>free agents and guys moving on.

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I say one of the cons for me is,

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.319
<v Speaker 3>I guess kind of like piggybacking off what Christy said

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 3>and the definition of insanity.

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it's more so of what is out

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>there to help improve this offense.

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Sure, and you have some guys that, like I said,

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, could be leaving, They could possibility could possibly

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 3>re sign.

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, you don't want to.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Expect the same thing that happened this past season as

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 3>far as like the way that you guys went out.

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 3>So it'll be interesting to see, you know what. How aggressive,

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 3>the guys that the team is when it comes to

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 3>the draft, what they select in free agency as far

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:47.199
<v Speaker 3>as offensive.

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>But now I mean talking about Dak. We talked about

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 3>If we did get a chance to talk about McCarthy staying,

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 3>but as far as you know, how much trust that

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 3>you can have in the fact that he is staying,

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 3>because that's what James later asked I'm in the press conference,

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 3>but more so moving to Dak Prescott, how much trust

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 3>do you guys have in him to be able to

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 3>come back next year and take this team to a

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 3>whole different level.

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>We got a chance. I don't know if Jazz has

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the sound.

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we got a chance.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 3>To hear from oh Bett, we can go ahead and

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 3>play with Troy Aikman said yesterday, go ahead, Jazzy.

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 7>I still believe in Dak. I think that until you

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 7>do it, there's always those criticisms. And I know Peyton

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 7>may you went through that his first three years he

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 7>didn't win a playoff game, and then you look back

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 7>on it now you can't imagine the next question whether

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 7>or not you could win a playoff game.

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, that was Troy Aikman speaking this week at

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 5>the George Bush Presidential Library. It was for a sports

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 5>business journal naming Dallas it's the number one sports business city,

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.839
<v Speaker 5>and so that's why Troy was there.

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 6>But he's right about.

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 5>Until you do it, you know, and unfortunately, in something

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.959
<v Speaker 5>that we've talked about ad nauseum here on Girls Talk,

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 5>Boys Talk is the standard here. You know, when you

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 5>follow the agment, when you follow the Stallbucks, you know,

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 5>it's the same thing that Tony Romo and you know,

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 5>Danny White following Roger Staubach. If it's not the Super Bowl,

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't matter what numbers you put up in the

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 5>eyes of many Cowboy fans.

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 3>That's something that he also touched and credit to Calvin Watkins,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>who was actually there. He put it in quotations of

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 3>what Troygman also added about a sense of entitlement. This

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 3>is what was said from Troy Aigman. I don't know

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 3>about a sense of entitlement. I think that when you

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 3>play for the Cowboys, every national show leads off with

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys, and there's lots of perks are playing with

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys, a lot of benefits playing for the Dallas Cowboys.

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 3>So I think the challenge for the organization and for

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 3>the head coach is to be able to still keep

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 3>the players with their edge, which.

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Is actually a kind of a good point there. Do y'

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 1>all think there's some some truth to that.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, yes, I want to touch base on what Christy

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.319
<v Speaker 4>said too of what the standard is, and it should

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 4>be Super Bowls, it should be playoff wins, and that's

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 4>all viable. What I do really like about McCarthy and

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 4>kind of how he coaches this team is he tells

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 4>them you're not responsible for anything that did not happen

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 4>before us. And so, yeah, in the last three years

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 4>there has not been a success in playoff victory, and

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 4>so you can scrutinize that part of McCarthy, But what

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 4>I do like is that he doesn't put the pressure

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 4>of the last twenty five years, thirty years on DAK

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 4>to fix that, because again, there were predecessors that came

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 4>after Roger Stallback that also didn't get it done, that

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 4>also still contributed to this dry spell that you've seen

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 4>of not getting past the divisional round in the playoffs.

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 4>And so I think as far as hearing from Troy

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 4>that he still believes in DAK, that should hold weight

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.439
<v Speaker 4>because he did get it done. And given football was

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 4>very different from when Troy played to now, but he's

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 4>still an analyst. He's a color analyst and he knows

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 4>what the heck he's talking about. So I think if

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Troy Aikman can sit there and say, hey, Dak's still

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 4>your guy, he can get it done. Who are we

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 4>to argue with one of the greatest quarterbacks ever.

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, really Troy's greatest quote, and I think it puts

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 5>everything in context. One of his greatest quotes, and this

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 5>is back when he was playing. This was from back

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 5>in the nineties. Yeah, because it's always Oh, Dallas is

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 5>such a great sports town, and Troy said, Dallas is

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 5>a winner's town. They love you when you win. Yep, right,

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 5>And of course you can say that about any community.

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you see him on Twitter. You see it everywhere

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>on social media now, So no truth to that.

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 4>It's so true. And you know it also goes back.

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 4>We were talking about the Bills kicker and I don't

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 4>know if you all saw that story trending about just

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 4>him having to deactivate a social media because of the

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 4>amount of hate he was getting after missing the field goal.

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 4>I just it's so sad to see kind of this

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 4>world we live in where media takes over the human

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 4>aspect of these guys. And yes, look, the loss was

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 4>bad enough. We don't have to be the first ones

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 4>to tell the guys in the locker room that the

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 4>loss was embarrassing, that it sucked being in the locker

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 4>room after the game. They knew that it was very obvious.

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 4>And you know, after that locker room experience, I had

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 4>never been. That was my first time being in a

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 4>locker room after that kind of loss. And Christy and

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 4>I were talking right before and I told her it

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 4>was like, I don't know what to expect to go

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 4>in here. I really wish people would keep in mind

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 4>and look, yes, you can be upset. You can be

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 4>mad that you have a very long off season with

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 4>a very special team that should still be playing, should

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 4>still be preparing to get ready for a game this weekend.

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 4>You can be upset about that, but also just remember

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 4>these guys are human. I mean the human aspect of this.

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 4>We talked about it all the time on this podcast.

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 4>There's no need to get personal. There's no need to

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 4>send them hateful messages and other really gross, ugly things

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 4>that aren't even speakable I mean, the fact that that

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 4>is just such a common thing that these guys have

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 4>to deal with really, you know, Dallas, but across the

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 4>NFL just urgs me so much because at the end

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 4>of the day, yeah, it's just football.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 5>Well you know, but when Tony Romo after the playoff loss,

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 5>and Tony Romo says, if this is the worst thing

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 5>that ever happens to me in my life, then would

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 5>have had a good life. Well he got crucified for that,

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, by some fans. Not all I mean, but

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 5>it's hard to keep things in perspective when losses are fresh.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 5>But the thing about Tyler Bass getting all that vitriol,

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 5>this is the Buffalo kicker that missed wide right.

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 6>And it's what happened with Scott.

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Norwood, the kicker who missed it in the Super Bowl

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 5>in the nineties for Buffalo and the Giants win the Super.

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 6>Bowl instead of the Bills.

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 5>Wide right. That is part of the lexicon of the NFL,

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 5>and it's the two words words in Buffalo Bill's fandom

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 5>and then to miss wide right. So what happens with

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 5>Tyler Bass is what happens with these Dallas Cowboys, the

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 5>current players. That's they all saying paying for the sins.

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 6>Of your fathers.

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep.

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, of course they're not their fathers, but they're you know,

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.159
<v Speaker 5>the people that came before them. And so when you

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 5>have the way that you lost in the first round

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 5>and these these players feel the pressure, I'm to your point.

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm glad that Mike McCarthy says, hey, they're not responsible

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 5>for that, but they have to live with it in

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.919
<v Speaker 5>terms of the pressure that they feel from cowboys.

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you have to fix it now because you are

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 4>responsible for what has happened in the last three years that

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 4>you are responsible for it and you still haven't gotten

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 4>it done. So I'm not saying there's not room to

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 4>be upset and emotional for the next long off season

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 4>that we all have, But I'm just saying there's limits

0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 4>to how we channel that frustration. Everybody. We don't have

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.920
<v Speaker 4>to send gross messages to players to channel frustration. It's

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:04.639
<v Speaker 4>just weird.

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Do y'all think it's worse for the players or the coaches.

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't know how much of the coaches actually

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 4>see to be fair, like Mike McCarthy's not on Twitter,

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 4>that's true to be getting the direct mess well, but

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 4>his kids.

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Zach, that's what Mike McCarthy talks about is you know,

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 5>it is as I can take it.

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 6>He says, I don't like it when you know, my

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 6>kids have to deal.

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.239
<v Speaker 5>That's fair with this, And I would say in some

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.479
<v Speaker 5>ways it's worse for the coaches because you can't fire

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 5>all the players, right, get a salary cap and money,

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 5>they're constraints. You can't fire a whole team. That's why

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 5>you get rid of staffs. Yeah, and so you know, yeah,

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 5>I feel bad for the coaches because usually there's the

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 5>ones that are out the door.

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeh.

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 4>Jordan Lewis in the last day of Locker Room, when

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 4>they were doing locker room clean up, he talked about

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Dak and Mike having the hardest jobs in America and

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 4>he said that he said, the coach of the Dallas

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Cowboys and the quarterback have the hardest jobs in America

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.719
<v Speaker 4>and they get the most scrutiny. So I think that

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 4>was spot on.

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, on that note, we're going to take our first break.

<v Speaker 6>I like him.

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 5>So I have some trivia for you for some playoffs.

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 5>Trivia Okay, I love trivia?

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 6>Yes day?

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh goodness?

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Really yeah, that's what. Yeah, that's what we fall asleep

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.959
<v Speaker 4>watching every night. It's like clockwork. Matt and I are

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 4>like time to turn on Family viewed such old people.

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't tell her that. She said that's what she

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 1>watches to go to sleep.

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 5>So let's talk about how things how things work in

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 5>the NFL for the playoffs. So let's take how much

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 5>players get paid? Okay, so we had Round one Cowboys, uh, Packers.

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 5>Why did the Cowboys players get paid more for playing

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 5>in the Round one play a wild card round than

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.880
<v Speaker 5>the Packers players? I mean, the Packers won, and why

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 5>would one team get paid more?

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 6>And how much did they get paid? I'd say, would

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 6>you like to take a guess?

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 5>It's it's a what happens is in the NFL. Once

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 5>you get to the playoffs, there are different amounts for

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 5>each round, and it's a flat payment, just like Stanley flat.

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 5>Everyone gets paid the same thing.

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 6>The players get paid the same.

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Amount, I'm gonna say because they had higher seating.

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 5>Because they were division winners. Right, So if you, if

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 5>you were a division winner, you for playing in round

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 5>one fifty five hundred dollars each player on the team.

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 6>Okay, if you were if you were.

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 5>A practice squad player, you did get your weekly practice

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 5>squad check of twelve thousand dollars. So as long as

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 5>you keep going in the playoffs and you have practices

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 5>leading into the next round, practice squad players get paid

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 5>their practice checks.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 3>So each player on the Cowboys roster got paid fifty

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:49.680
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars for the first.

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.359
<v Speaker 5>Five hundred dollars playing in the wildcard run. And the

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:57.919
<v Speaker 5>Packers players, because they were the wild card entry and

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 5>not one of the division winners, they paid five thousand

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 5>dollars less forty five thousand, five hundred dollars. Now, ultimately

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:09.440
<v Speaker 5>that the Packers the pack The Packers came out ahead.

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Packers came out ahead because they advanced to the divisional

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:18.160
<v Speaker 5>round and the divisional round. Everyone, all players get paid

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 5>the same amount in the divisional round, whether you're a

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:25.719
<v Speaker 5>wild card entry or division winner, you get paid fifty thousand,

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.679
<v Speaker 5>five hundred dollars. So the Packers players, they were eliminated

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 5>after round two, So one hundred and one thousand dollars

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 5>fifty thousand, five hundred for two games.

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 5>So now for the conference championship game where.

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 6>Let's say that.

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 5>So we've got what Detroit Right is hosting. So the

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 5>four teams actually eight teams now four teams, okay, in

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 5>the conference championship games, seventy.

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 6>Three thousand dollars per player.

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.080
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So all of those players, and then if you

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 5>make the Super Bowl, you're back to a difference. If

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 5>you win, if you're on the winning team, it's one

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 5>hundred and sixty four thousand dollars. If you win, if

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 5>you're on the losing team, eighty seven eighty nine thousand dollars.

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 3>So there's a discrepancy roughly two hundred something thousand dollars.

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, depending if you play all four if you play

0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 5>all four rounds, and it's more, it's more than that.

0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 6>It's over three.

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 5>It's about three hundred and seventy if you win and

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 5>all that. Now, here's the thing enough to go to

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 5>the playoffs? Well that that sounds like a lot of money,

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 5>right Hey to me, now here's the thing. To me,

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 5>if I were in the players Union, this would be

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 5>the one thing that I would would change because the

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.360
<v Speaker 5>fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money, isn't it.

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 6>I mean that's that's.

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 4>The person on it, on the team.

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so that's that's a lot of money.

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 5>But what if I'm pick a player for the Cowboys.

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Let Lewis go?

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Jordan Lewis, let.

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 4>Me site his all over here.

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, let me get to Jordan Lewis's base salary.

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 6>So give me a moment. It's Tyler Jordan Lewis.

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 5>I think it's okay, Well, Dak, what is Dak's base salary?

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Look on there for sportspo track for.

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Twenty nine nine million.

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry, yeah, but what's so his salary?

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 6>That's his salary. I need his base salary, not his

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.680
<v Speaker 6>for the year working base salary.

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 5>Base salary is twenty nine million. Okay, So twenty nine

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 5>million divided by eighteen games is one point.

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 6>Six one million. Dollars.

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:47.399
<v Speaker 5>So Dak Prescott gets paid one point sixty one million

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 5>dollars in base salary per game.

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 6>You work all year and you make it.

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 5>To the playoffs, and your paycheck is fifty five hundred dollars.

0:26:57.920 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I see where we're going with this.

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Hear me out though, extra fift thousand dollars. I'm going

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 3>out there and get this win thousand dollars. Fifty thousand dollars, you.

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Know what I'm saying.

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I also.

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 5>See, like, why is it a pay can it's.

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 4>A pay compared to what they're making.

0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>But when the.

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 5>Ratings are higher, more people are watching. You know, I

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 5>don't think that they discount the I don't think they

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 5>discount parking and concessions, do they? I mean, everyone's paying.

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:38.199
<v Speaker 4>It's still I it's so interesting. I'd be interested to

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:41.479
<v Speaker 4>compare that to somebody that obviously doesn't get paid as

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 4>much as Dak. Okay, Dak gets Let's do that, Okay,

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 4>let's do it.

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.639
<v Speaker 5>Don If you're if you're a rookie, If you're a rookie,

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 5>there are minimum based salaries.

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:54.720
<v Speaker 6>There are minimum based salaries in the NFL.

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 5>So if you are a rookie and you're on the

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:01.639
<v Speaker 5>fifty three man roster. Your minimum salary is seven hundred

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:05.440
<v Speaker 5>and fifty thousand dollars. So if you divide that by

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 5>eighteen weeks, okay, it is forty one thousand, six hundred

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:14.879
<v Speaker 5>and sixty six dollars. So for a rookie making the minimum,

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 5>So Brandon Aubrey, let's say Brandon Aubrey.

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 6>For Brandon Aubrey.

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 5>Playing in that playoff game meant a lot Butter Butter

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:27.880
<v Speaker 5>actually got a raise. Butter made an extra one thousand

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 5>dollars basically then he would have if it were a

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 5>regular season.

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, it doesn't count because he's technically not considered a

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:35.399
<v Speaker 4>rookie in the MANAF.

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 5>Actually, that is an interesting question because Brandon Aubrey, according

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 5>to NFL in terms of like records and stuff, because

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 5>he would be an all time rookie record holder, is

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 5>an NFL kicker, but because he has experience in a

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 5>previous pro league USFL, the league is contending that Brandon

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 5>Aubrey in fact not a rookie but a first year player.

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Yet Brandon Aubrey is paid the rookie minimum of seven

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 5>hundred and fifty thousand dollars instead of the first year

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 5>minimum of eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars. So there's

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 5>a discrepancy there.

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 1>The math is in mathing.

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:19.320
<v Speaker 5>I have a.

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Headache, you know.

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh it's a Thursday morning. I should have told everyone

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 5>to bring their bring their calculators today.

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:28.240
<v Speaker 4>My mom's a math.

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 3>So what about what about Mozzie Smith? His base salary

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 3>is one point three million, So.

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so we divide.

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 5>So you take one point three one point three million

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 5>by eighteen, undivide it by eighteen, and it's seventy two thousand,

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 5>seventy two thousand, two hundred and twenty two dollars. So

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Mozzi took a twenty two thousand dollars pay cut to

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 5>pay in the play in the playoffs. But to your

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 5>but you're right, it's fifty thousands to two thousand more

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 5>than than you had before.

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 6>That's what I'm saying.

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 1>That's extra money that you had before to put in

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 1>your big account.

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 6>Mm hmm.

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 5>But that's that's how that's how it works in the NFL.

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 5>The point is to let me go kick over here

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 5>running back.

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 4>I won't give Brandon Aubrey any run for his money

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 4>at all, but I just it.

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 5>Is interesting though that once you get to the Super

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Bowl the winning team, it's basically double right, yeah, and

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 5>then the same The same thing holds for the Pro Bowl,

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 5>even though the Pro Bowl isn't a true game anymore

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 5>like it used to be. So let's see that was

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 5>interesting every year one hundred excuse me, no, it raises

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 5>a little bit each year. So for example, last year

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 5>would have been say like thirty eight thousand dollars and

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 5>then compared to forty thousand.

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, what was it just.

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 5>In the day like in the sixties, Oh.

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:53.719
<v Speaker 6>Like five thousand dollars?

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, but money value was different in fact that

0:30:56.520 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 4>as well.

0:30:57.520 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, when are they our second break?

<v Speaker 6>You know that sound anywhere.

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 8>It's the crisp crunch, that first nacho chip with its

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 8>perfect cheese to sour cream ratio sitting atop a layer

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:46.520

<v Speaker 3>A real quick update. Lady Conboys Nation Dax Oh base

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 3>salary is for twenty twenty three one point seven twenty

0:32:58.120 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty four.

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>It's twenty nine million.

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so the one point seven million.

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 5>So for each game, his base salary this past year

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 5>was just over ninety four thousand dollars and then fifty

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 5>five hundred for the wild Card playoff game. The highest

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 5>base salary was Tony Pollard. All of his money was

0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 5>put in the base salary because he was franchise attacked.

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, so even though DAK counted twenty seven million

0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 5>this past year against the salary cap, with all of

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 5>the restructuring bonuses and signing bonus and all of that,

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 5>his base was one point seven million.

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have a few questions. The number one question

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 3>is what gets excited about the upcoming off season.

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Who's that was?

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Oscar? H Oscar?

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Shouty's. Oscar is very loyal. Anytime I would tweet anything

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 4>but Bland, he was ready with his response. It was

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 4>the same, so shout out.

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 6>Well, there's so much to build on. Yeah, right. I

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 6>think the continuity.

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 5>Of the offense is something to look forward to. I

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 5>think getting CD signed to an extension is something to

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 5>look forward to. I think the improvement is the run

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:14.319
<v Speaker 5>game is something to really look forward to. It's just

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 5>that it's cloudy right now because Tony Pollard being a

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 5>free agent, Rico Dowdell's restricted, and then with Tyler Battish

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.839
<v Speaker 5>and Tyron Smith may be a very different looking.

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.879
<v Speaker 6>Line right in the in the next year.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 5>So I think that that's going to be a big

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 5>emphasis is improving the run game. I think that having

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 5>continuity on special teams and Brandon Aubrey coming back is

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 5>a huge thing. And defense, boy, so many questions there

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 5>in terms of what you're going to do. There's I

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 5>think there's gonna be a lot of changes in the

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 5>in the defensive backfield with guys like jay Ron and

0:34:55.040 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 5>Curse and Stefan Gilmour, Jordan Lewis free agents there. But

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 5>I think improving the linebacker corps is something to really

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:06.840
<v Speaker 5>look forward to because because the injury to Layton vander

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 5>ash was just the killer blow.

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 6>It was a brutal blow. And I'm when.

0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 5>You say most excited about to me, I would say

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:21.239
<v Speaker 5>for me, it's more like intriguing and curious about. That's

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 5>that's what I'm going to What am I going to

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:26.520
<v Speaker 5>be focused on? And I would phrase it that way,

0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:27.759
<v Speaker 5>and That's what I'm going to be looking at.

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 4>I think it's also guys coming back from injury. So

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 4>obviously Trayvon Diggs went out prior to Week three in

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 4>practice with a freak ACL tear, him coming back and

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 4>being able to kind of re establish that and build

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 4>off of the year that he was supposed to have

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 4>this season if not for that injury. To Marvin Overshown, Yes,

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 4>another guy you can be so excited about from what

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 4>you saw in the preseason ahead of his injury, John

0:35:52.000 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 4>Stevens Junior on the offensive side of the ball, who

0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 4>great good flashes during training camps that we were so

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:01.440
<v Speaker 4>excited about. A tight end. Is he a wide receiver?

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 4>Is he a both?

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 1>We don't know.

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:06.879
<v Speaker 4>But again, you have these really talented guys coming back

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 4>from injury, and those I think with de Marvin Overshown

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 4>and obviously Layton vandersh being out impacting the linebacker corps

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:18.399
<v Speaker 4>had a big ripple effect on the linebackers this year

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.120
<v Speaker 4>to your point, Christy, So having guys come back from

0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 4>injury that were projected to have really big seasons and

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 4>getting them through the hardest part of their injury and

0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 4>getting them back on the field is something I'm excited

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 4>about personally.

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I'd say, knowing that this team is so close, you

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:37.840
<v Speaker 3>know so close.

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Like christ you mentioned the twelve and five seasons.

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Back to back, three straight seasons, twelve one seasons.

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. You talk about.

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.919
<v Speaker 3>The talent that this team has, the talent that there's

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 3>out there, and of course this is my first NFL

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:56.400
<v Speaker 3>off season, so I'm excited to see the way that

0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 3>are the different players that come in yea, you know

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 3>that could add to this new offense, or you know,

0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 3>if they maintain the same guys that they keep just

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 3>seeing how they fit in, even defensive guys, the new

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 3>guys that we could possibly.

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>See come in as well. Uh so, I.

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Think, I mean that's what that's what makes it fun

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 3>about the NFLF season. You really don't know, it's it's

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 3>really about the unknown. But with knowing that this team

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:23.720
<v Speaker 3>was so close, you know, it'll be interesting to see

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 3>how much more and how much fun it'll be to

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 3>see how much how much closer they can get to

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 3>possibly like an NFC championship game. Yeah, so I think

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 3>that's that's kind of Yeah, it's gonna be interesting.

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Even look at this time last year, you had no

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.040
<v Speaker 4>idea this time last year you'd have a Brandon Cooks. Yeah,

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.520
<v Speaker 4>you had no idea you'd have a Stefan Gilmore. Yeah,

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 4>you just had You had no idea you'd have a

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:46.760
<v Speaker 4>Brandon Aubrey. I mean, there's so much unknown. And Christy

0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:49.480
<v Speaker 4>always talks about the retention and the changes that come

0:37:49.480 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 4>in the off season between trades, free agency, everything about

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 4>twenty percent twenty to twenty five percent being changes. But

0:37:57.719 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. You can

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of really great additions to this team.

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:04.759
<v Speaker 4>So I'm trying to really have the glass half full

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 4>here because we got through the emotional couple of weeks

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:11.439
<v Speaker 4>together and we had our therapy session on here. But look,

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:14.760
<v Speaker 4>there's just you're also building off of a really talented roster,

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:16.880
<v Speaker 4>and I think that's why the loss was so disappointing,

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:20.080
<v Speaker 4>because of the talent that you had already built on

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 4>this team that's still going to be there, maybe not

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 4>all of it, but there's also going to be new

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:25.880
<v Speaker 4>additions that could help as well.

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:29.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what was your favorite surprise of the season. That's

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 5>a good one, and it doesn't have to be a player.

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 5>It could be you know what, what or something something

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 5>or someone that exceeded your expectations.

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, dang I have to go.

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna go Deck.

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Deck.

0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, because I came in I think it was I

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:50.600
<v Speaker 3>think it was the forty.

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Nine Ers game. It was it was ame that was

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 1>my first week, and I was like, hmm, okay, I

0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know.

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 6>We'll know where to go, but up.

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well, I was like, okay, thanks a little rock

0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:02.279
<v Speaker 3>rough week over.

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Rough week for my first week.

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 3>But just seeing, you know, his improvements in the way

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:11.480
<v Speaker 3>that his instincts have changed, his reads.

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Have been have gotten so much better.

0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Granted, of course, I know fans don't want to hear

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 3>this because of the way they went out and pretty

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 3>much no one showed up that Sunday, But I mean,

0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:23.759
<v Speaker 3>come on, like, Dak showed that he's he's a top

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 3>QB in NFL, and I think since that game he

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 3>really showed that. So I'd say that's probably my my

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 3>biggest surprise.

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 6>Oh man, that one's hard.

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know biggest surprise. I'm gonna I'm gonna veer

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 4>a little bit here. I'm gonna say for me being

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.399
<v Speaker 4>my first year actually covering the team and being able

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 4>to do that, my biggest surprise was getting through it

0:39:47.320 --> 0:39:50.080
<v Speaker 4>and and uh, fighting through the burnout because it was hard.

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 4>So personally that was my biggest surprise. It was really

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 4>a lot and I think, uh yeah, just learning through that.

0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:00.400
<v Speaker 4>But as far as the team, I I mean, I

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:01.640
<v Speaker 4>gotta go with the obvious.

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 5>Yes, absolutely, Look, if you knew me, it's across your

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 5>heart right and mine as well.

0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 4>Butter next to that hers, But if Nicle, I really

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:17.280
<v Speaker 4>wish you knew me before the whole Brandon Aubrey thing started,

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:19.239
<v Speaker 4>because they're in training camp, Christy get a test. All

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.840
<v Speaker 4>last year, all I nagged about was the kicking situation

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.359
<v Speaker 4>and how firm I was in wanting to keep Brett

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Maher on the roster. I didn't agree even after his

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.720
<v Speaker 4>uh incident in the playoffs last year. I was very

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 4>firm on wanting to keep a stable kicker. And that

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 4>was fear talking because I didn't know what was ahead.

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:41.439
<v Speaker 4>And then in comes Brandon Aubrey randomly during training camp.

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Everyone's like, who is this guy? He used to play

0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 4>soccer and he did not have a great training camp.

0:40:47.120 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, every time you saw tweets about Brandon Aubrey

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.280
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh he missed two today, Oh he missed

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 4>three today. He never had a perfect day at training camp,

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 4>I think maybe except once. So in my head, I'm

0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 4>sitting here on the podcast, real smug, like, here we

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 4>go with another kicking situation, and then all of a sudden, yeah,

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.719
<v Speaker 4>here comes Brandon Aubrey, proving everybody but myself wrong. I

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:14.359
<v Speaker 4>will happily, happily, happily, happily admit that I was wrong

0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 4>about Brandon Aubrey. And that was the best surprise I

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 4>could have asked for all season, being a kicking queen

0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:23.719
<v Speaker 4>and loving a good stable kicker. Brandon Aubrey was such

0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 4>a fantastic find by the scouting department here John Fossil

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:31.200
<v Speaker 4>had a hand in it in finding him in the USFL.

0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Just such a great story. Yeah, he wasn't even supposed

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 4>to ever kick again, much less in the NFL. He

0:41:38.800 --> 0:41:41.680
<v Speaker 4>was a software engineer that kind of just was inspired
