Speaker 1: probably wondering why we have this special show with special

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: people in a special location. We are in Ford Center

22
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: at the Star in Frisco, and you can see the

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: team is back over there behind Dave's right shoulder. So

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: we are here talking about Cowboys you and it's it's

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: a really cool thing that Coach Garrett has done the

26
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: last what probably five six years that I've been yeah, yeah,

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: last five years. It's brought to you by Texas Lottery

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: and seven years, eight years is what we tell them.

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Longer than five. Yeah. So basically, they bring in area

30
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: high school students and the players, the Cowboys players become

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: coaches and they coach these guys up and after the

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: games are all all over, they play tournament style. After

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: the championship games over, the players and Cowboys coaches talk

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: to the kids about life lessons and adversity that they've

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: been through and face. And it's really really a cool deal.

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: It's it's one of the to me, it's one of

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: the favorite things that the team, My favorite thing that

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: the team does. So we're yeah, we're here. Hopefully the

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: plan is to kind of rotate, rotate talent on and

40
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: off the set and also hopefully grab some players and

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: bring them over and talk a little football and talk

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about this event. So I gotta say

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't the same without Jason Witten last year. No,

44
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: you talk about an animated guy doing this being I

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: mean any a preview of his coaching days. Eve. In fact,

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: he becomes a coach one day, he gets into it. Man,

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: all the guys I mean in a positive way, but yeah,

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: all the guys do. But it wasn't the same without

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: his energy out there. Yeah, last year after he retired

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: quote unquote for a year. You know, I think this

51
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: is overall when you I like what coach Garrett has

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: done here with this because if you look at what

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: athletics does and guy's lives and and ladies lives too.

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of homes, split homes, and

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get deep he or anything, but

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of single mom you know homes or

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, one parent homes, and you know, there's a

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: lot of adversity, and athletics is one of those things

59
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: that kind of brings everybody together. And the fact if

60
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: you can get maybe these players as uh, you know

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: brother father type figures to kind of say, hey, listen,

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm in this. I was in the same boat you were.

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: I was from a family in Michigan or you know,

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean you could kind of share ideas that, hey,

65
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: don't give up your dreams, don't give up your hopes,

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, go out there, use athletics to your advantage.

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: And this is a great thing that players do. They

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: get into it so much because they've they've seen themselves.

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: They they've seen themselves kind of being that, you know,

70
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: wearing that orange jersey or navy blue jersey or purple

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: jersey today whatever, and and they say, you know, I'm

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: glad somebody tried to push me along or help me along.

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: So this is really one of the special things that

74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: this organization does. Yeah, and there's a lot of guys

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: on this team, the Cowboys team that have great stories

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: that have faced it. Have lost parents that absolutely fought

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: through you know, um Tyrone Crawford story. You know, Antoine

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Woods has a great story. Just overcome an adversity. And

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: anytime you can influence someone at a younger age and

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: let them know, hey, you can you can overcome, you

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: can over you can be successful, and you can make

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: it to the highest level, it's always a real plus absolutely, Dave,

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: you've you've done this for several years. What's what's your

84
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: take on kind of what they do here. I'm like

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: that prompted me to kind of reflect on some of

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: the stories that I've heard. And I mean, forget being

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent or like any of that, you know,

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: surface level football adversity, Like some of the stories I've

89
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: heard at this event. I just, uh, you know, he's

90
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: no longer with the team, Kyle Wilber u overcame some

91
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: harrowing circumstances. Uh, it's I can't even do it justice.

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to misrepresent the story. I think you

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: could probably find it online if you want to go

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: for you. And I don't think any of us knew

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: until he spoke to the kids. And I think Jason

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: Garrett really wanted him to, uh, you know, to kind

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: of emphasize like, hey, no matter what happens, you can

98
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: overcome it. Um. Obviously, Dak Prescott's a famous one. We

99
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: all know his story. Um, it just happened to where

100
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the T shirt today. Yeah, way to go. By the way,

101
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: if you're not watching this, you're just listening, you need

102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: to at some point go check the live or the

103
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: video version of this out because this is the most

104
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: motley dressed crew we've ever had brought us is in

105
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: a T shirt, bank, it's a weird Rob's in a

106
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: button down. Dave's got to pull over. Yeah, I mean

107
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: we're just all over the place, you know whatever. It

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: we look good, look good. It's the content. It's it's eclectic. Yeah,

109
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: it's the content that matters. Yeah. Um, Anthony Hitchins I

110
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: believe was adopted. Uh yeah, just you know, we always

111
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: say it, and we're really privileged by the fact that

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: we're in the building and we're around these guys a

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: lot more than even most media. Um, you know, like

114
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: I said, did they overcome stuff in their lives that

115
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: go away beyond you know, where you were drafted or

116
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you got cut from a team or something.

117
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: And so I think that's Garrett's whole point, is trying

118
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: to impart that wisdom onto these kids. And right now

119
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: they have one of the wounded warriors that actually came

120
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and spoke to the team last year after a practice,

121
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: Travis Mills. Um, I think he's lost one arm or

122
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: both arms and both legs and he's out there talking

123
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: to the kids. Right now about adversity and what he's

124
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: facing things like that. So it's it goes a lot

125
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: deeper than just football and a football tournament. It's it's

126
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, life. So yeah, and big shout out to

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Chris Beam, Dave arnts Kent Garrison, Scott Purcelled. The setup

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: that they put out here was not easy to set

129
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: up for us just to sit here and BS for

130
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: an hour or hour and a half. So thank you

131
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: guys for setting all this up. So what do you

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: before we you know, we've talked about the camp, let's

133
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: talk a little football. What we've only got one more

134
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: weeks shows. Next week we do our podcast and then

135
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: we take a break for about three weeks and then

136
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: we had to training camp. What are each go down

137
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: kind of go down the line. What are you what

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: are you watching it camp this year? And what are

139
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: you excited to see? Because if camp's always fun because

140
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: it's the unknown and it's what you think might happen,

141
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: but you don't really know, and you and there's certain

142
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: people that look for certain things. What are you guys

143
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to? You know, I think Shannon, one of

144
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: the things that I always look from a scouting perspective

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: of the depth of the roster. I'm always interested because

146
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in training camp is you're going

147
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: to lose guys along the way. And when you lose

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: guys along the way, do you have enough depth to

149
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: maintain levels of practice high levels of practice? Are these

150
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: guys who are backups going to be able to get

151
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: in there and be starters potentially? And all that? So

152
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: my thing is I always look at, Okay, they who

153
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: did they bring in and how are they adapting. I

154
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: talked about it when we did a little bit of

155
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: a stand up when we did the roundtable of how

156
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: these guys that were that the Randall Cobbs and the

157
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Robert Ends, those guys, those veteran guys, how do those

158
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: veteran guys coming in and adapt because they've been a

159
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: part of some successful programs and now they're in a

160
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: whole new system and both those guys have really hit

161
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the ground running. I've been very impressed with that. I've

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: been very impressed with the young guys that you know,

163
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: they've got guys like a Reggie Davis met yesterday, got

164
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity wide receiver from Georgia, got an opportunity to

165
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: run with the first offense, and what happens, ball goes

166
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: down the right sideline from Dak Prescott, he makes an

167
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: incredible catch for a touchdown. See these are guys, okay,

168
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: who is going to be those guys that step up

169
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: and allow the depth of roster and there might be

170
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: those one or two guys that surprise you who make

171
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: that fifty three man roster that we did not think

172
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: about at this point in time. But you need to

173
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on. Yeah, it's interesting you

174
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: brought up depth because I read an article a while

175
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: a long time ago, Phil Mickelson's and notorious gambler, huge

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: gambler and he won prop bet at the beginning of

177
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: the season when he bet on the Ravens several years ago,

178
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: and they asked him like what his strategy was, and

179
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: he said he would go down each NFL roster and

180
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: whoever had the most depth and had the best backup

181
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: players as we went with because, like you said, you're

182
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna lose players long Absolutely, Yeah, Rob, what you're looking

183
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: forward to? Brian hit on a lot of good stuff.

184
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Reggie Davis, that was a guy I don't know if

185
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: a lot of fans knew who he was until yesterday.

186
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: Number eleven out there just going deep Dak Prescott in

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: red zone drills for a touchdown. It does speak to

188
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: the wide receiver depth and I I'm impressed with that.

189
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: The offensive line depth and the defensive line depth. Those

190
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: are three spots I look at and say, when you

191
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: go to camp, I don't they're not gonna be able

192
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: to keep all these guys. I think they're sixteen defensive

193
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: linemen right now, and a lot of them are really

194
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: talented guys even that were undrafted, that might be able

195
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: to make a football team may not be this one.

196
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: What I'm looking at the most. And when we get

197
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: to Oxnard is this offense with Dak Prescott can how

198
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: much can we glean from Kellen Moore's new influence as

199
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. And the thing that I think is

200
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: going to help Dak a lot is the continuity that

201
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: he's got this year, even with a couple new piece

202
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: is coming in. I don't know if you called Jason

203
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: Witten new right, but you've got him coming in to

204
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: help this tight end group. You've got Randall Cobb, a

205
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: veteran presence that I think you mentioned Hid the ground running,

206
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: all right, he looks he looks like he's been here

207
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years. This scheme. Yeah, and then now

208
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: this receiver corps around Dac. Is that whole Dak friendly thing.

209
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: He's got guys he's comfortable with. Now. You go back

210
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: to camp last year and it was a bunch of

211
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: new faces, a bunch of new guys trying to make

212
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: the team, trying to separate themselves, and it didn't really

213
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: shake out until Amari Cooper got here. And once Cooper

214
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: got here, I think it made Dac more comfortable. It

215
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: stabilized the rotation, and you're seeing more of a continuity

216
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: level for Dak, which is so important for your quarterback.

217
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup in year two, I think this is the

218
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: pieces are set for Dak to have a really successful

219
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: year this year. But it's got to carry into camp, Dave,

220
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: what's left to talk about? Nothing? I mean, it's all

221
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: eyes on the offense. I know what the defense is.

222
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli's a legend. Chris rah Shard, superstar coach. We

223
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: all know about that. There's Pro bowlers at every level

224
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: of the defense. They had at Robert Quinn. They're cool

225
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: all about the offense. They out in Kellen Moore. Uh,

226
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: they believe in him. A lot of people don't think

227
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: they should. So it'll be interesting to see how that

228
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: pans out. We're gonna get a look at the offense,

229
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: not just during training camp practices, but we'll get two

230
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: preseason games before we come back from the West Coast.

231
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Will it be better? Because the defense was good enough

232
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: last year it was top ten, Will the offense be better?

233
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: I think the hope if it's a cowboy fan issue,

234
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: you have to hope that that this year that Kellen

235
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: Moore is Chris Rushard of last year? Right, did all

236
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden that we've seen that it can make

237
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: a big difference, Right, I did it all of a sudden.

238
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: If you take personnel and you and you turn it

239
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: around with coaching, then all of a sudden, and not

240
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: a slam at the coaches that were already here, Chris

241
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Rushard brought a different attitude, a different mindset, and you've

242
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: got to hope that that maybe that Kellen Moore can

243
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: do the very same thing. The talent is on hand

244
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: for I mean, you know, they don't they don't have

245
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: to be the rams, you know, they don't have to

246
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: be the most explosive offense in the league. But the

247
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: talent is on hand for them to be good. It'll

248
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they do. Yeah, we got

249
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: somebody coming over here, Gart, kind of important. You got

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:09,119
Speaker 1: to kick Dave off here off the set. Yep, Coach,

251
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: How good to see you. Well, welcome to the show.

252
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: The ringleader of this whole event, Coach Garrett. How are you.

253
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. How are you guys doing doing great? Great? Coach?

254
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: So tell us we were we were talking about the event,

255
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: how great this thing is, and how it's one of

256
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: our favorite things that the team does off the field.

257
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Tell us how this thing got started? How did who?

258
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Who was the brain behind this thing? Uh? You know,

259
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: we've been doing football camps for a long time. When

260
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: I was a player here with the Cowboys in the nineties,

261
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: we hit a camp at Capelle High School for five

262
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: years and that was a long long time ago. And

263
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: for the last seventeen years we've been doing a camp

264
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: very similar to this up at Princeton where I went

265
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: to school. We go back there, it's actually next weekend

266
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: where we do a very similar thing. Uh. Some high

267
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: school kids who were playing football from that Tri State

268
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: area up there, come down, some of them from challenging environments,

269
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: at risk environments, many of them, all of them. And

270
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, we'll bring cowboy players, cowboy coaches, guys that

271
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I've played with and coach with throughout my life, and

272
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: we come and we coach them up. And we've been

273
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: doing that for a number of years. And then, you know,

274
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: when I became the head coach here, we said, why

275
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: don't we do this in Dallas somehow, and why don't

276
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: we do it with our own players. So eight years

277
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: ago we kind of put the Dallas Cowboys version of it,

278
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys you version of it together and it's been

279
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: a really positive thing. We take our last OTA data

280
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: ten and we do this and these kids come from

281
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: all over the Metroplex and it's a great opportunity for

282
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: our coach excuse me, for our players to act as coaches.

283
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: And this year we have eight teams, so we have

284
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: two head coaches per team. So they draft their coaching

285
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: staff among their teammates, they put it together, and then

286
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: they go coach ball and hopefully by the end of

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: the day. We've used football as a medium to impact

288
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: lives and to make a positive impact on a number

289
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: of these kids who are working their way through life.

290
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: And one of the things I challenge our players with

291
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: as we're sitting in these seats a few years ago,

292
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: some of you five, eight, ten years ago, and you

293
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: were like these kids, and you had somebody in your

294
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: life that helped you go in the right direction to

295
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: achieve your dreams. And that's what our job is today.

296
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: We have five or six hours with them. Let's make

297
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: a positive impact. I'm not even enough to think that

298
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: we can do that. Coach, your father was a great

299
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: influence on you, and you always talk about that, and

300
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I worked with your dad and scouting for six years.

301
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Utmost respect, you had a situation at home where you

302
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: your family football, football, football, but your dad took your

303
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: friends players, yes, anybody out in the yard and coaching

304
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: them up and stuff like that. So football it's life lessons.

305
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: It's really your family is football. But you you kind

306
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: of take that family approach here with these kids and

307
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of helped them with life lessons and how important

308
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: football really is in our life. Yeah, you know, football

309
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: is the greatest game in the world and there are

310
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: so many lessons you can learn for life from playing

311
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: this game. And uh, you know, I would argue that's

312
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: probably it's guess impact. There are so many people who

313
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: are doing great things in our society right now who

314
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: really attribute many of the lessons they learned to become

315
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: who they are from their time playing football when they

316
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: were young. And I understood that an early eight. Like

317
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: I said, my dad was a coach who was always

318
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: instilling you know whatever it is, a work ethic, a

319
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: mental toughness, ability to handle adversity, to come back and respond.

320
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: I think those are really important things in life, and

321
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: that's what football is all about. So again, it's a

322
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: football camp, we're playing seven on seven, it's the championship

323
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: of the world, all of that. But at the end

324
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: of the day, our players have an opportunity today to

325
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: make a positive impact on kids, and I think they're

326
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: taking that very seriously. They're having fun with it and

327
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: it'll be a great day for everybody. How many players,

328
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: is there a player on your roster that maybe sticks

329
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: out a story that you've heard of a guy on

330
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: your team that those formative years, those high school years,

331
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: really stood out for them, something that in their life

332
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: that impacted them growing up playing football. I would argue

333
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: that every one of our players has a story. It's

334
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: like every one of us has a story and the

335
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: people that we had the good fortune to be around

336
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: to help us go where we wanted to go or

337
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: significant in our lives. I go back to my high

338
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: school coaches, my junior high coaches. There were huge influences

339
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: on me, and many of these kids have those same

340
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: kinds of influences. Sometimes it's your mom, sometimes it's your dad.

341
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes a grandfather, grandmother, and uncle, coach, teacher. We all

342
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to have a positive impact on kids.

343
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: And I think if you ask all of our players,

344
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: they'll say the same thing. And we actually had some

345
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: of our players answer that question, and we're gonna put

346
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: that up on the big screen prior to the championship

347
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: game because they reflect back and say, Huh, I had

348
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: these aspirations, I had these dreams. This person had an

349
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: impact on me. Maybe this game or this incident had

350
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: an influence on me to allow me to achieve what

351
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to achieve. They take that seriously. I think

352
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: they're imparting that on these kids today. Yeah, do you

353
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: think it's that you talked about the life experiences and

354
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: that your players might have been in that chair, right,

355
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Is it something that you that's okay? Now, I'm using

356
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: this as their experiences to try and help these kids.

357
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Is that really the whole message that you know, Hey, listen,

358
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I was in that chair where you're at right now.

359
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know what you guys are going through

360
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: right now, and especially with what society today, we have

361
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: so many split homes and single parents and stuff like that.

362
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: But these players get they get to be like brothers, fathers,

363
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, A good influence on these yeah,

364
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: no questions. They can make an impact on their lives.

365
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: And again, I think our players relate to it because

366
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: I think they were in these situations very recently. And

367
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: the other part of this thing is most of the

368
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: kids are football fans, right, And you know, I told

369
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. They know Dak Prescott more than Dak knows

370
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. They know more about him. So it's a

371
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: great opportunity to use your influence. And you know, I

372
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: think the most important thing we can do in life

373
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: is and still belief in someone, right, you know, and

374
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: still belief maybe they don't have in themselves, and still

375
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: that belief in them as they go forward, and you know,

376
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: the biggest influences of my life were people who believed

377
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: in me more than I believed in myself, and they

378
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: instilled that belief in me. That happened throughout my life.

379
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: It happened to our players, and again we're trying to

380
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: do that with our kids today. One more question. We

381
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: know you got to get back out their coach talking

382
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: about character and these guys and their stories. I've heard

383
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: that this is one of, if not the best locker

384
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: rooms that a lot of these guys have ever been around.

385
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: Was that something that you guys have focused on or

386
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: did it kind of just fall into place getting the

387
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: right kind of guys in hearing everything. No, we're very

388
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: intentional on that, I mean and hearing me say that

389
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: for a number of years now. We want the right

390
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of guys on our team. Guys who love football,

391
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Guys who want to be part of a team, willing

392
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: to work, sacrifice to do the things necessary to achieve

393
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: what we want to achieve. And we're all a work

394
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: in progress. We're all human beings. We're not perfect, but

395
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: we want to be very intentional bringing great character to

396
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: our team, the right kind of guys to our team,

397
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: and ultimately the championship teams that I've been around had

398
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: that we had great character on our team. Personal character,

399
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: football character that's we're trying to build. I think we

400
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: have a teammate of that. And it's fun to come

401
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: to work, fun to coach these kinds of guys. It's

402
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: fun for them to play with each other. These are

403
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: the kind of guys who want to be with each

404
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: and every day. Well, it's fun to work here, and

405
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch all this taking place and the

406
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: stuff you're building up. It's great, man, it's also be

407
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: a part of this organization. So thanks for the time coach.

408
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: We know fact band here guys always a good thing,

409
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, when you when you have a plan and

410
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: you you know, he clearly has a message and a mission,

411
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: you know. And again I talked about his father, Jim Garrett,

412
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: who I worked with and scouting and Jim his legendary

413
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: in that area of taking kids from the neighborhood and

414
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: instilling life lessons football whatever. You know. You know, that's

415
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: the way things are, you know, And I think that's

416
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: a he's he's doing things the right way to try

417
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: and help things in our community. Yeah, and you can

418
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: say what you want about the on field product and

419
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: all that, but I'm I'm a big fan of coach

420
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: Garrett what he does off the field. A lot of people,

421
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's got his sayings and his little cliches

422
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: and things, but I'm a I'm a big believer in

423
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: the consistency the message and just you know what he

424
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: does with it. He really cares. You can tell that

425
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: he cares about these guys. Marinelli's another example. He cares

426
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: about these guys as people and not just his football player. Absolute,

427
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. Well, welcome to the show. I

428
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: haven't had the good fortune of meeting you yet. I'm

00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Shannon Gross. How are you really good? Trasya? Thank you?

00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: So I saw that you came out and spoke to

432
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: the team last year after a practice. Yeah, I just

433
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: randomly was in the building and I wandered over here,

434
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: and they just let you walk right out after practice. Well,

435
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: you have norms and legs. They let you just do whatever,

436
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. I was like, I'm supposed to

437
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: be in there, Like, okay, go ahead, then, mister you

438
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,959

441
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. But it's really exciting to be here. And

442
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: I was thankful when UH coach Garrett reached out um

443
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: to ask me to come back and and um be

444
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: a part of the part of today. I'm actually here

445
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: for like eighteen hours. Oh that's it. Yeah. I flew in.

446
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: I got in at midnight. My plane got a little delayed,

447
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: and I'm back out of five. I got an event

Speaker 1: it's quick, get busy. So okay, you talk about though, though,

451
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: the message that you have again, you talked about you

452
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: you obviously your physical your handicaps, so you don't look

453
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: at it that way. You're having fun with us right

454
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: now and we're looking at it. But but the message

455
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: that you want to to these young guys is they

456
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: there is there in a group, and you're ap peering

457
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: into all their eyes. What are you seeing and what

458
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: are you trying to convey to those those young men?

459
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: And and and then some ladies out there there to

Speaker 1: I do my presentations, I go out there and I

462
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: tell jokes. The very first thing that we're gonna hear

463
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: from me today. As I walk out there and say, well,

464
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,960

465
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: I open. Don't bomb this, you know, because the last time, yeah,

466
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: and uh, I sat to Towne with like five opening jokes.

467
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: Some people understand, like, look, don't stare at just my

468
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: injuries and yeah, in my arms, legs being gone, like

469
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm a regular every day person. Sure, And then I

470
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: go through like how my wife and where I grew

471
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: up been, and then leave my daughter and my wife

472
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: back and forth. Bragg. So I go, I'm a third

473
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: deployment and hitting the bomb and then rebuilding myself and um,

474
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: just kind of talk about sometimes life with three curveballs,

475
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, but uh, you gotta keep pushing forward and

476
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: keep persevering. And I talk about perspective, you know, my

477
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: jokes and stuff. I'm not. This isn't a facade. I'm

478
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: just happy to live in the nation that the ANSTA

479
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: takes care of me. I have prosthetic legs I have

480
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: prosthetic hands. I drive where I want to drive, I

481
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: feed myself, I do whatever I want right And um,

482
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: I kind of finished up with the last two life

483
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: lessons I like to tell people. I try to tell

484
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: my slogan would never give up, never quit. I mean

485
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: inside my shoes. New Ballance makes my shoes custom for me,

486
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: but my shoes about you got a game right now.

487
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: The problem is when I getting into the car, though,

488
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: my foot will bend in my toe rubs, so like

489
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: the toe thing I got like ten pairs, I should

490
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: have put a new pair on. I feel like I'm

491
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: a slumming it right now. I'm sorry, guys, you're look

492
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: at me. I look great. I appreciate that. But my

493
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: two life lessons I'm gonna convey to them is number one,

494
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: don't blow in the past. Right. You can't change what

495
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: happened yesterday, and you can't like for me, I can't

496
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: change what happened seven years ago. I used to close

497
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: my eyes in the hospital bed and say, why did

498
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: this happened? I can go back in time, hope, wish

499
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: and pray that it would And then I just finally

500
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: have about two weeks I was like, it's never gonna change.

501
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna have arms and legs again like I

502
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: used to have. And um, the sooner I realized that,

503
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: and I realized I had twenty five great years without,

504
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, being injured, but I've had seven amazing years

505
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: after being injured. I mean, I I have a wife

506
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: that was with me when I got injured, them before

507
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: a month old and I left and six month old

508
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: and I got hit and stayed with me. I told

509
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: her she should leave, and she stayed. And then I

510
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: had my parents, my in laws and everybody by my side,

511
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: my family and my support team and uh and now

512
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,600

Speaker 1: about your your foundation. Absolutely, So my wife and I

542
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: decided that Walter reed, we were giving such um love

543
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: and support that we should give back. And we decided

544
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: that we were gonna give back. We were gonna do

545
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: care packages, you know, like we're gonna send stuff overseas

546
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: that people wanted, not necessarily what people thought they needed,

547
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: because we had a lot of like you know, socks

548
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: and baby powder and all this stuff that got sent

549
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: to us. I would say, I'm great four and I

550
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: thank them. But I sent like peanut butter Eminem's or

00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: the stuff that people with me right now? Yeah, but um.

553
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: But then I went on these trips with the hospital,

554
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: and I learned how to kayak and canoe. I went

555
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: downhill mountain bikings. They took me up nine those mountain

556
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: mountain crest Debute and they you know, strapped me to

557
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: this four wheel bike and they sent me to the

558
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: seat and they said don't die and they put a

559
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: helmet on my head. I said, you mean don't die

560
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: and they pushed me down this mountain, you know. And

561
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: I found out that I was able to do all

562
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I needed a non medical assistant, which

563
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: my wife's consider a non medical assistant because I can't

564
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: put my legs on myself yet, right, so like I

565
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: need help with that every day. Um So my wife

566
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: got to go in these trips and a lot of

567
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: spouses didn't, and the surce member did. And I thought, well,

568
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: Jesus was you know, I understand the fundings for the

569
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: search member and you gotta get as many as there

570
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: as possible. But this isn't worth it to be without

571
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: my wife and my daughter like this, what's getting better

572
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,760

682
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,400

683
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm from Michigan. My wife was from Maine and an eleven.

684
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: She moved down here because my father in law, who

Speaker 1: was with me today over there in the Blue, got

686
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: a job in Texas, and then we met on my

687
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: Space because her brother was my medic and she thought

688
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: I was cute. I was six foot three, two seventy

689
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: five and I had some really good supplements. I was

690
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,000

Speaker 1: to Dallas. I came back from Afghanistan right on my

697
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: eighteen day leave. I spent four days in Michigan with

698
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: my family for Christmas, and then I because I was

700
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: She picked me up never matter before, and then we

701
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: flew out to our trip. We planned to Cosmo and

702
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,120

703
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: up throwing in the ocean. Back to Michigan. We went

704
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,600

705
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,520

Speaker 1: the courthouse in North Carolina at people don't know that

709
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,280

715
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: maybe a serious question here though, Oh, go for it.

716
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: The today it's the seventy fifth anniversary of Normandy, the

717
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: landing at Normandy and all you were brothers throughout and

718
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: the bravery that you guys show them. Can you talk

719
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: about though a little bit though that you know and

720
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to know. You don't want to talk

721
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: about yourself and them and you do this. But the courage, though,

722
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: it's not for everybody's servant, I mean it's not. I

723
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: mean you well, you guys are wired different and in

724
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: a good way, and and and just the attitude you

725
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: have towards our country, the freedoms we have in a country.

726
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: But if you could just talk about what your thoughts

727
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: about like in today being a special anniversary with absolutely

728
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: So have you seen Band of Brothers? Yes? So Band

729
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: of Brothers was a huge motivating for me in my

730
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: whole life as well as saving Private Ryan. Those are

731
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: my favorite kind of movies and um, you watch those guys,

732
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: you're like, man, I want to do that. So I

733
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: went to the recruiting station thinking like when he'll be

734
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: electrician or something that will get me something I get

735
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: out and they showed me airborne infantry and I was

736
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: like that that's the one. Yeah, that's it. Let me

737
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: jump out of a plane. And I didn't know this

738
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: fact until I met with I met Dakota Meyer, who's

739
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: a Metal Lot recipient. Um, he lives in Austin. Actually

740
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: he's on teen Mob but don't tell him. I said,

741
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: it couldn't get so mad. No one listens to the

742
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: show anywhere. Yeah, I just like millions of whatever, so

743
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: um anyway, but he told me, and I think it's

744
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: a true fact. Eighty five percent of the military is UM.

745
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Basically who supports the fifteen percent of the fighting for

746
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: the infantry. And I didn't realize that logistic wise, but

747
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: think about it, there's fifty three players on a run.

748
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, it's wrong not to break their hearts.

749
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: But there's fifty three round. But look at this organization

750
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: who all support He's fifty three players, right, And I

751
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: would say that the coaches and stuff would be supporting

752
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: the players too, but you know, so so yeah. But

753
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: either's before ways to serve. You know, Um, there's people

754
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: that don't go in the service, but they give back

755
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: and they do great things. Like right now, everybody's volunteering

756
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: to be here. That's giving back. That's that's a type

757
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: of service. There's a police officers, and the firefighters and

758
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: EMT and then the teachers and the nurses. You know,

759
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: everybody has a way of giving back. Um. But yeah,

760
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean to run into a hail of bullets is

761
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: a little different, but it's so exciting. Look every day

762
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: I had in Afghanistan, like for my third e ployment,

763
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: firefights all the time. I was a first in the

764
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: firefight last out. I never showed fear when I got

765
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: blown up. In my head, I just keep seeing saving

766
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: Private Ryan when the medic gets shot in the stomach

767
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: and he bleeds out and he's crying for his mom

768
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: and he's like I don't want to die. And he's

769
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: like he starts you on with mom and I'm like,

770
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: my men will never see me do that. So when

771
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: I got hit, I kept seeing that scene. So I

772
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: was actually like, it's fine whatever. Told the medics, you're

773
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: not gonna save me, go save my guys. They worked

774
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: on me anyway. Uh and when when they're working on me,

775
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: one medic, I told him, hey, whatever happens is fine.

776
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: Like he was kind of like he was doing his job.

777
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: He's kind of freaking out by saying like you're gonna

778
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: be fine, okay, and he kept repeating. It was like

779
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: on auto repeat because that's what they're trotting to do.

780
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: But he was like you know me. You know, I

781
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: was like, doctors, do your job. It's fine. Whatever happens happens.

782
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: And I was never gonna show like I wasn't crying

783
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: out pain. Um And I have a documentary that that

784
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: actually had the medics with him, with me and the guys,

785
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: and they were like saying, like on the helicopter, one

786
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: guy was screaming out in pain. He had every right,

787
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: he lost his right, tesco, but uh, you know he

788
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: was carewing out pain. That was you know with the

789
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: flight manic, take your home off, get my guys water,

790
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: and I'm winking. I gave one guy wink said you're

791
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna be fine, You're gonna be okay, and they were

792
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: just like, I can't believe. Like, but in my head,

793
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: I was amazing. I was like, I'm not his show fear.

794
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna but their last thought because

795
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna die, and I like to

796
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: be weird about it. I just seen a lot of

797
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: guys unfortunately die for a lot less um. But but

798
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: I didn't, and none of them can say I showed

799
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: any fear, which is nice. I wasn't like I don't

800
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: want to. I was just like, whatever it is, what

801
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: it is, let's get it. Amazing. One last question before

802
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: we let you go, um switch gears a little bit. Yeah,

803

899
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: You walk it off? I was watching the games, Yeah,

900
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: this is the championship game. This is the championship game.

901
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: It looks like the Green team and the Great team.

902
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: Who are the coaches? Who we got left? I see

903
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: Dak out there, see Byron Jones, Travis, Frederick Jamazolo, Wally,

904
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: Zach Martin. That's all. These teams have like eight coaches

905
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: because you know, they want the whole team staff. I

906
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: forgot about that. They make their own picks. Ye, there's

907
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: some competitiveness there with that too. Always Yeah, So I

908
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: bet Dak's a team leader, and maybe Zach and Travis

909
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: are together somewhere, Oh, Zeke Kelly, it just walked out. Yeah,

910
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: how are you? Doesn't look like Zeke's coaching in the

911
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: championship game. Well, hopefully we can get some of these

912
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: guys on. Somebody who pull some of these guys over

Speaker 1: here to talk to them so way, rather talk to

914
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: them than me, I'm sure. Yeah, that's coach Garrett was

915
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: good today. I like coach Yeah, he say man, yeah,

916
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And I like the question he has

917
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: the if you look at what he and will play,

918
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones, Jerry Jones, what they've all done is it

919
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: has been really the right kind of guy, you know.

920
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: And and that's a you know, it's not to say

921
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: they haven't had their bits of off the field stuff

922
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: you know, that have happened that they're having to deal with.

923
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: But overall though that, you have to like what you've

924
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: seen with the locker room, the depth and and again

925
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: the depth will be tested, Uh, it always is. And

926
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: we little at this time do we know that going

927
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: into training camp that there would we've learned about some

928
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: disease that you know, yeah, that we never had heard

929
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: of before. So you never know what's gonna happen. You

930
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: always have to be thing like they protected themselves with

931
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: their roster. That's what that's kind of what Travis has

932
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: spoke to us about. That's that's curveball things that fly

933
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: at you. You got to be nimble, you gotta be

934
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: able to adjust in any walk of life. And I

935
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: think that's that's a message that Garrett tries to preach

936
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: to from a football perspective. So um, and to your point,

937
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: the influences Jason had grown up with his dad, right,

938
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: here's an example. Miles Austin was a guy, oh yeah,

939
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: that was honing his skills in the Garrett front yard.

940
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Wasn't even growing up. And so I mean that carries

941
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: over the Cowboys. It all kind of ties back into

942
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: what the message he's trying to show that they've never

943
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: seen the deep blue on Jim Garrett. Go check it out.

944
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: I believe it's on our YouTube channel's great website, Yeah,

945
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: and it features it shows he just took anybody that

946
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: would come and want to learn football and just get

947
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: him to run routes in the backyard. And you know,

948
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: that's that's up the epitome of a football family, you know.

949
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: And Jim Garrett was an outstanding scout and one of

950
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: the one of the one of the great. And I

951
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: wish we could show a video this one of the

952
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: great passionate speech has ever made for a player. It

953
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: was made by Jim Garrett about Randy Moss. And you

954
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: had guys that were absolutely against Randy Moss, Chan Gailey,

955
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: Dwayne Painter, the coaches, and you have Jerry Jones in

956
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: a draft room with his glasses on the end of

957
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: his nose, and Jim Garrett in his last line and

958
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: I'll see if I can do this imitation. Men, this

959
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: is not the boy Scouts, this is the NFL. We

960
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: need to treat it that way. And and Jerry, that

961
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: got Jerry's attention. But then Jan Gaily and then this

962
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: was kind of when that error where the cowboys were

963
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: struggling with the off the field stuff and Jerry with

964
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: the other direction. But the scouts, Jim Garrett made a

965
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: very passionate speech for Randy uh for Randy Moss. And

966
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: I wish the fans could see that that video. Yeah,

967
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: if you ever take a tour of the Star, right

968
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: there outside the war room, they have the old scouting books. Ye,

969
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: Jim Garrett has his scouting report on Troy Aye has.

970
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all handwritten and it's a sheet full

971
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: of things, and it's it's really cool. So if you

972
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: ever take a tour out here and make sure you

973
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: stop by the scouting office, you might run into wil

974
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: McClay out there. Maybe maybe. So what are you guys,

975
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: What are you guys hearing? What are you guys hearing

976
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: about this team with OTAs? What's you know what I

977
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: want to know about it? I hadn't got to watch

978
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: any OTAs. What's up with the running backs? What about?

979
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,479
Speaker 1: What the hell? Are these new guys looking looking pretty good?

980
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: There's there's two of them, yep. Um, that's so hard

981
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 1: running backs and lie backers specifically, Like I don't even

982
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: like to evaluate that, Patsy. They're not doing they're not hitting. Um.

983
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard looks as fast as advertised. I do know

984
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: that you can see that in shorts and shirts. But

985
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 1: it's good. You know. Gary Brown even touched on that yesterday.

986
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, Pollard looks fast. You know, I

987
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: think he gets a bad rep for you know, I

988
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: think he can be more of a true running back

989
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: than he got a chance to showcase at Memphis. And

990
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: he said something funny about Mike Webber. He's like, he'll

991
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: have his opportunity when the Pats come on, because that's

992
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: his game. You know, he's not gonna look as flashy

993
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: running through arm tackles as as Tony Pollard might. So

994
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: it's tough to do that at OTAs, but training camp

995
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: is not that far away. Talking about Webber, we had

996
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: our internal media days the last three days where where

997
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: all the guys come by different stations and we get

998
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 1: that dude is built. Yeah, I mean he is thick,

999
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: he is, but Tony to Dave's point, Tony Pollard is

1000
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: known as the gadget guy, right, but if you stand

1001
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: next to him, far from it, he's a bigger back

1002
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: Mike web really really, he's one of the traditional back

1003
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: in Ohio state. The first rookie Minicamp day, he was

1004
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: standing basically at Zeke's locker and I remember thinking, Okay,

1005
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: he's he's a lot Webber. He's a lot smaller than Zeke.

1006
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: Pollard is a well built guy, and I think that's

1007
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: the coach Brown's point that he can be a between

1008
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: the tackles guy if you needn't be, and they're not.

1009
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: They're not hitting right now they're not tackling, but that

1010
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: burst through the hole. He's a dude to watch going forward.

1011
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, we kind of forget a little

1012
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: bit about Darius Jackson, who's yeah, and he's been running

1013
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: second team all the practices. And Derris Jackson is now

1014
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: two years removed from his knee injury that he had.

1015
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: He looks like a different guy out there running. So

1016
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: he told me earlier this or maybe it was last week,

1017
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 1: he told me this is as good as he's felt

1018
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: since he heard his knee in Cleveland. I mean, which was,

1019
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, two or three years ago at this point, right,

1020
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, I'm not trying to I'm

1021
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: not trying to give or take away anybody's job, But

1022
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Darius Jackson when he came out, he was

1023
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: a higher draft pick than Mike Webber. I know, Mike,

1024
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: Mike Webber's the rookies, so he gets more of the attention.

1025
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,479
Speaker 1: But it's a battle at training camp, Like I don't

1026
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't want to write anybody off in

1027
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: that they go along at that position. I don't think so.

1028
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: Because they're gonna carry a fullback, you're gonna have to

1029
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: go short somewhere though, And are you going short at quarterback?

1030
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: Quarterback going short? I mean you're are you keeping four

1031
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: tight ends? And these are things they're gonna have to

1032
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: work if you're going at offensive line. How many of

1033
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: those I'm away always gonna cend. This is where the

1034
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: depth comes in because it's like, all right, where do

1035
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: you want to go along? And by the end of preseason.

1036
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but injuries will shake things out. Yeah,

1037
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: you'll you'll be maybe depleted at certain spots, but we'll

1038
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: see running backs. Interesting though, because I keep going back

1039
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: to it. Four we can talk about Swell the fullback

1040
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: four total, three running backs in a fullback. Sorry, we

1041
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: can talk about Zeke Elliott being spelled this year and

1042
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore introducing some new concepts. The core philosophy is

1043
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: still Zeke and pounding that rock and he's gonna be

1044
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: on the field a lot. Yeah, but they do feel

1045
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: like they've improved the depth there though. You brought up

1046
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. You know we've heard all the players say

1047
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: the right things, you know, front facing the media. What

1048
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: are you guys, you guys hearing anything is dak like

1049
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: in this this situation, What are you what are you

1050
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: guys here? And kind of behind the scenes, he's been

1051
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: calling Kellen Moore literally a genius since he met him. Dak, So,

1052
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: Dak loves this more than anybody. Dak's been loving Kellen

1053
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: Moore since he was his mentor. You know, a lot

1054
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: of people want to give Tony Romo that credit back

1055
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Dak has been saying for years it

1056
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 1: was Kellen Moore and Mark Sanchez that did the most

1057
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, and so that guy gets promoted into,

1058
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: you know, the head job, and you know, he knows

1059
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: what Dak likes. Dak maybe feels a little bit more

1060
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: familiar with him. I'm sure that's a quarterbacks dream like.

1061
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it doesn't mean it's gonna work out.

1062
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see what it looks like when

1063
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: we finally get to, you know, put the pads on.

1064
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: But I think Dak loves this move more than than most. Probably,

1065
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: I think he's really happy to to work with John Kitten,

1066
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: And I think John Kitten is a very much an

1067
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: attention to detail guy. I'm getting kicked off for a

1068
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and yeah, sure whatever, that's fine, all right,

1069
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: we got a Nick Eatman about to join show over here,

1070
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: just kidding. No, no, someone that's got a little more

1071
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: airtime than Nicky Mootton. What's up with? It's up? How

1072

1073
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,960

1074
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: of us on the set. I was on the staff

1075
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: that brought him here. Where are you really? Absolutely just

1076
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: Jonah brought us? Is gonna be like everybody took credit

1077
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: for it, you know, They're like, hey, yeah, I was

1078
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: a big part of the reason. And I'm like, I

1079
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: didn't go to the third round. So if all these

1080
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: guys really no, no, no, no, no, no your second round, no, no,

1081
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: you're it's Bill's Bill wanted Al Johnson and your tag

1082
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: was sitting on the top of that. We got to

1083
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: the third round and Jerry looked at Bill and said

1084
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: we've got to take him now, don't we And Bill goes, yes,

1085
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: We'll take him now, and and I'm like, Hallelujah, there

1086
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: goes our first And he was the last tag we

1087
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: had in that draft on the on the first round

1088
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: that was sitting on that board in the first round

1089
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: grade of one one nine. So you were in the

1090
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: first round. What was draft they like for you? Was

1091
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: it just hectic? Was it stress man? Where? Yeah? I

1092
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: was twenty, you know, I mean but uh, I mean

1093
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: I think all guys, you know, I mean, we all

1094
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: probably think we're gonna go higher than what you do.

1095
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: But I mean, shoot, I just looked at it as

1096
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: like does a dream come true? And uh, you know,

1097
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: obviously getting drafted Dallas legendary coach parcels right, and there

1098
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: was a great opportunity for myself. He had a great

1099
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: vision for you as a player. He did, He really did.

1100
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: He knew, you know, he'd been with Mark Bavarro and

1101
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: Howard Cross and some guys and with Jason when he

1102
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: evaluated him, Bill, Bill had some crazy evaluations. He didn't

1103
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: have a crazy evaluation about this guy. He he he

1104
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: had an understanding of what he could do. I think

1105
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: that's why you always talk about how hard he was

1106
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: on you initially, you know, the whole the video about

1107
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: you running the scout team and the reps and stuff

1108
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: like that. But he had a great vision foot player.

1109
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question about this though. You

1110
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: you are really big on influencing, You were big on

1111
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: hands on coaching. You loved coaching. I mean love this,

1112
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: but we've seen, like Dave Steve said, we missed you

1113
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: last year when this whole thing with your intensity, the

1114
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: way you coach, and you know, I remember like your

1115
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 1: kids at camp, you know, you know, put our hands

1116
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: in and the kid, your your son goes integrity. Yeah

1117
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm thinking, like, Okay, so but you

1118
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: you influenced not only your own kids, but you influenced

1119
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: kids out here. Is Yeah, I think Cowboys us a

1120
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: great day, you know. I mean I think coach Garrett

1121
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: nailed at the organization. Now to when you decide like, hey,

1122
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have this camaraderie day, right, I think you

1123
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: really you know, this is what it's about, right, bring

1124
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: kids in here, have your players, coach be you know,

1125
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: intermixing with each other and so it's a lot of fun.

1126
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: We didn't make the championship this year. You know, we

1127
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: didn't have the best roster and we didn't have the

1128
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: best coaching. You know what I mean. Collation to who's

1129
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: your assistant? Um, well, DeMarcus Lawrence was my defense coordinator. Splash.

1130
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: I think he was actually head coach and I was

1131
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: like a zoec. But we don't we stayed together. We

1132
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: didn't win him any games, but we fought, which that

1133
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: raises a great point. You know, people have been speculating

1134
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: for years that that you have a future in coaching.

1135
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: We had a chance to come out here with kids,

1136
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: and you've been one of the best players in the

1137
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: league for so long. What is it like coaching and

1138
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with other people's shortcomings and trying to

1139
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: instill that you know, and then especially you know, you

1140
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: don't get the results you want. I mean, that's got

1141
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: to be a different feeling for you as a player.

1142
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of patience so that but

1143
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: I didn't need to go into coaching to find that out,

1144
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: you know. But I mean, you know, you take a

1145
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: lot of things for granted, you know, And that's what

1146
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: I think as a player being a kind of a

1147
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: coach on the field, it's like, how do you communicate

1148
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: because guys don't see it the way you always see it,

1149
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: and so it's a challenge of ultimately you're looking for

1150
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: them to have success. And so I just think it's

1151
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: it's if you can't play at that level, the next

1152
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 1: best thing is coaching it, you know, And uh, that's

1153
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: it was it was awesome to be a part of

1154
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: it and just kind of be around these kids. And

1155
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, man, if I was sixteen years old and

1156
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: I got to be a part of this right at

1157
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: this facility and unbelievable experience. Yeah. I've been wanting to

1158
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: ask you since you've been back in the building, you

1159
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: act like you were really, really really enjoyed way in

1160
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: this man You're I mean, you just you light up

1161
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: when you walk in the lunch room and you're talking

1162
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: to everybody. I mean, is this how is this different

1163
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: coming back? And are you looking at it in a

1164
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: different way or you just seem to really be super

1165
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: energet Yeah, well, I think I mean there's like a

1166
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: lot of parts to that answer. I think, first off,

1167
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this isn't gonna last forever for me,

1168
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: and so when you come back, A big part of

1169
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: that is, you know, you do want to enjoy every

1170
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: moment of it, you know. I think before I retired,

1171
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's a part of that that that probably

1172
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: affected me there towards the end of you're fighting off

1173
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: some things that you feel like, whether it's a narrative

1174
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: or whether anything. It's like every day you're having to

1175
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: deal with that, you know, of like, all right, when's

1176
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: the next who's gonna replace him? Okay, how long is

1177
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: he gonna go? How can you still do this? Can

1178
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: you not do it as well as he used to do?

1179
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: You know? All those things? And you always prided myself

1180
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: on like not allowing those things affecting me. And I'm

1181
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: not talking about like whether it was negative or positive.

1182
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying just how you go about it. So

1183
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: coming back, I really realize, hey, how much I missed

1184
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: at how much I enjoyed it, and I kind of

1185
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: and I'm motivated by this challenge of coming back. And

1186
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: it's more than just how many plays can you play?

1187
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: How many catches can you make? It's it's like this

1188
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: collective effort of I'm enjoying being a mentor, I'm enjoying playing.

1189
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm the challenge of that working out. So it's all

1190
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 1: about relationships, you know. And I'm in a good spot

1191
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: right now, and you know, see what happens here, and

1192
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: ultimately it's about winning, you know what I mean. So

1193
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: it's like everybody ask all those things, it's like for me,

1194
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: it's like, well, it works itself out because I just

1195
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: want us to win. So where does that result in?

1196
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: How does that look like it'll work itself out? Yeah?

1197
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: How are things been? You know now? Coming back though?

1198
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: And with Killing Moore? You you'd work you know with

1199
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: Scott and you. When I watch you, guys, it seems

1200
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: like a lot of things that really good for you.

1201
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: That the type formation stuff you with you the two

1202
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: by two kind of stuff where you can you can

1203
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: run routes from the inside of that. But how has

1204
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: that been the transition from say Scott Lenahan, who you're

1205
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: with now to Killing Moore being cooc Well, I think

1206
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna go back, right, I mean, so like twenty eleven,

1207
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: two twelve, maybe thirteen there this system, your line wasn't

1208
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: as strong, right, right, and so your passing game and

1209
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: what you're you know, Jason Garret's always wanted to run

1210
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: the football, right, It's always what he's been trying to do.

1211
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: Games get behind you're not Your line wasn't as strong

1212
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years. So I think when

1213
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: Scott came in in fourteen, I mean, and three of

1214
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: those five years you had leading rusher. I believe maybe

1215
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: the Zeke lead the league in rushing last year in

1216
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: the yards I believe he did. He ended up that

1217
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: he was close. So fourteen sixteen eighteen, two different backs

1218
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: leading rushing right. So it's like, yeah, that's what you

1219
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: want to do. But then it's like, okay, well if

1220
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: you're not scoring points and all right, we want to

1221
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: see more, we want to see these different things. And

1222
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: I think just it's a hard to manage all that

1223
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: right me because we've also seen Scott have top five

1224
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: passing absolutely throughout his career. So I think Kellen's has

1225
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: a good understand. We want to run the football, but

1226
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a lot of different ways. The shifts, emotions, alignments,

1227
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: moving guys around, formations right, dress it up a lot

1228
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: of different ways, and still having an attacking mindset even

1229
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: though we want to kind of our identities through our

1230
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: run game. So I think Kellen has done a good

1231
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: job of that. He's natural, you know, he's natural in

1232
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: front of the room. He's a good communicator. He keeps

1233
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: it simple and the way he communicates it, And so

1234
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: I thought we're off to a good start through you know,

1235
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: nine products. Do you think when going on the outside

1236
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: watch this, do you think you not being in the

1237
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 1: lineup was problem for the red zone. I don't know,

1238
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,959
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you're such a great red zone player, yeah,

1239
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: I think eighteen yards in. I think it's just you know,

1240
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: I've studied our red zone and continue to study our

1241
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: red zone, and I think, you know, when you want

1242
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: to be efficient there and how you're passing an attack,

1243
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: A lot of that is just guys understanding coverages and

1244
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: being the right in the red spot. You know. So

1245
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,479
Speaker 1: obviously a big body helps in that area. And so

1246
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the things that we're trying

1247
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: to do now now will make us a better red

1248
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: zone team this year. I know we got to go,

1249
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: but that just raised I'm fascinated by this question. I'm curious,

1250
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: did you how did your time as a broadcaster change

1251
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: the way maybe you think about that just in the

1252
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: sense of, you know, when you're here, it's like, well,

1253
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: we didn't do this last year, we got to do this,

1254
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: you're I mean, it's so Cowboys centric, and then you

1255
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: spend a year going to every facility seeing how they

1256
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: do it, what they want to do. I mean, you

1257
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: had to cover an ugly Cowboys loss against the Titans.

1258
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: How did that did that change the way you view

1259
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: things at all? That you got to see how thirty

1260
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: two other teams did. Absolutely, did you know? I think

1261
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: the one one of the things that I liked about

1262
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: that experience was I grew as a football player, as

1263
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: a fan, as a as a student of the game

1264
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: because the ability to unemotionally go in and evaluate very

1265
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: few can do. I mean, you know, people will tell

1266
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: you as a scout, as a coach, as a player,

1267
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: when you evaluate yourself, you're you're looking at what you

1268
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: think you know or want to see, and to be

1269
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: able to go in and unemotionally evaluate it and see

1270
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: it and study it and like, hey, that's good. More

1271
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: teams should do this team right? You know this this

1272
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: type of package um and then you see it carry

1273
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: over throughout the season. I had Chicago Bears one week two.

1274
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by Matt Naggey and what he's daring out

1275
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: that absolutely yeah, and then to see that success come

1276
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: back in January and you're seeing that team playing in

1277
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's uh, it's it's my perspective change, and

1278
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: I think kind of seeing the big picture of it

1279
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: instead of just hey here's the end I'm blocking, this

1280
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: is the coverage I'm looking at with the Giants. It

1281
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: really kind of peeled back a lot of things that

1282
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: notes that I have. Now I think it's gonna make

1283
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: me a better player. Yeah, we'll appreciate you stopping with

00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: that how you got hurt? Yeah? Playing basketball? We trafted George.

1326
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: We trafted Georgia green Bay. Yeah, it was. It was

1327
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: one of guys when you were there. Oh yeah, he

1328
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: stole the ball in that championship game. And as soon

1329
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: as he did that, Ron Wolfson, we gotta draft that

1330
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: guy in the first round. That's my favorite play. That

1331
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: never counted ever, Right, I think it was offside in

1332
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: the books, but it was one of the greatest players

1333
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: you've ever seen because Lamar Thomas was supposed to be

1334
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: the fastest guy ever and he might have been, but

1335
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: George not only fetched him, but stole the ball, pushed

1336
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: him down, showed it to the world. Yeah, and it

1337
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: was offside, it didn't matter. Help help me get drafted.

1338
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: So I'm saying a Green Bay we were all just drooling.

01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: But you know, again, this is one of the few

1361
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Alabama men that I will sit next. Yeah, Da Dave

1362
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: jumped right off. Yeah, you know now with the Alabama

1363
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: he is, he is one of the best Alabama men

1364
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: I've ever Well, I guess it wouldn't be right if

1365
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: I didn't at least say a roll tide there. You know, George,

1366
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: you were at one time, even like if you were

1367
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: my favorites and I don't know about right now. Well,

1368
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, I got asked this morning true story. Someone

1369
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: sent me a text. I said, who was the player

1370
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: that knocked off t O on the Star? And I

1371
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: told George t that was this morning. It didn't happen

1372
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: all the time. But how often do people bring it

1373
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: up to you? Uh? Very often see it on Twitter

1374
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot um. Anybody that you know to recognize who

1375
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: I am, sure bring it up. But every now and

1376
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: again people uh will argue with me and say it

1377
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: wasn't me and it was Roy Williams. No, it was you.

1378
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've told this story hundreds of times. But

1379
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: what was your mindset when you did when at that moment,

1380
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: what caused you to do that. Uh So there's a

1381
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: the bad piece will be the frustration and the anger

1382
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: because we're getting our tails handed to absolutely a little

1383
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:44,479
Speaker 1: bit um. But you know, when you're intense and full

1384
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: of competitive nature, there's just certain things that that can't happen,

1385
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: uh doing the game and on the field. Uh. I

1386
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: think that's a good way to say that we got

1387
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: it right here. Yeah, this is this and it I

1388
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: was in the locker room with Woody wood He got

1389
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: kid already got kid, what do you? Already got kicked out?

1390
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: And Woody and I were standing in the locker room

1391
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: watching the game, and this happened, and George got tossed,

1392
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: and then wood he what do he? When George gave

1393
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: me what, he goes, what happened to you? He goes, I,

1394
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, I ran him, I ran down t O

1395
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: and and and he goes, well, was about damn time.

1396
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: So George George both safeties that game got knocked out,

1397
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, And I remember being the locker room. George

1398
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: just took off his equipment aside that smile, you know,

1399
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: he just took a shower and like, you know what

1400
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: he did what I had to do. But that's how

1401
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: he always played, He did what he had to do.

1402
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: People forget though. The next year, in two thousand and one,

1403
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys won that game, and you got a little

1404
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: bit of revenge. I don't know if that seemed like

1405
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: revenge enough, but you actually got another couple of shows.

1406
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Well somehow. It's very weird because the stars had to line.

1407
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: We were out here on the goal line. I think

1408
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: it might have been a fourth and one player or

1409
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: a third and one anyway, ready to go in and score.

1410
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: And of course at that moment, I had to cover

1411
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Torello and again one on one. Yeah, in the end zone,

1412
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: so I already knew where the ball was going to

1413
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: go to. It's just kind of matched up. But I

1414
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: did win that battle that time. Have y'all ever talked again?

1415
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Y'all have any relationship at all? Man? Once Teo got here,

1416
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: and this is you know, I respect him, he was

1417
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: great football player and that kind of stuff. But I

1418
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: did try to especially when he came to us. I

1419
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: tried to reach out and have some conversation with him

1420
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: on the sideline and many other times. But he wouldn't

1421
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: speak to him. He wouldn't speak to him. No, sir, Wow,

1422
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: what do you think about about the team this year

1423
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: and what are your expectations as far as I am

1424
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: really really excited. Yeah, I think the off season moves

1425
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: have been great, bolsting up that offense a little bit

1426
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: more against some more weapons for Dak. Sure, I was

1427
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: specifically concerned about what we're gonna do with defensive line

1428
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: when you know we weren't getting done we needed to

1429
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: get done there. But um, pulling those new guys in,

1430
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, they're hungry, yep, ready to go, are already

1431
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: stacked it, you know, a lineback on that kind of stuff.

1432
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be a very very

1433
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: good year for us. Yeah. You know this when you

1434
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: you you're so involved with your high school stuff and

1435
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: you're coaching and stuff like that, But do you do

1436
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: you have a timing You've mentioned you kind of are

1437
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: excited about see but you get a chance to follow

1438
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: the team like you're or is it just you're so

1439
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: locked into changing young men's lives and that you kind

1440
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: of you kind of man, that was a part of

1441
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: my life. But you know what, I you know, I

1442
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: just kind of I got to focus on my team.

1443
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: But you still able to look at enough at the

1444
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: at the games like you want to. I do. I'm

1445
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: very fortunate that I came to every Cowboy game last

1446
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: year except for one, okay, which was Thanksgiving, So at

1447
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: least do get around and around the game and kind

1448
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: of see what's happening and what the moves are. But uh,

1449
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: everyday little piece of it, No, I'm yea, you know,

1450
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: into a really busy program. And then of course I

1451
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: gotta squeeze my Alabama guys in there a little bit too,

1452
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a balancing act. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1453
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Man George again, you know, you know, like he can't

1454
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: he's got to talk about it, but he rightfully, so

1455
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: he's right, yeah you could talk. But so yeah, that's

1456
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta let him do it. But football

1457
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: is a big, big, big, big part of his life.

1458
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: This it is talk about the fact that these young kids,

1459
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: when when you were growing up getting probably getting to

1460
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: go to some some camps and stuff like this, but

1461
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: the experience these kids get to come here and play

1462
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: in an environment like this and there's Dak coaching them,

1463
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: and Zeke and Witting and these guys, I mean, do

1464
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 1: they even understand what they're getting? No, they're spoiled. Man,

1465
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: there's more all spoil because you said maybe having a

1466
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: chance to go to camps like this has never happened

1467
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, we didn't we didn't do this.

1468
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: We didn't have these opportunities. On the way you got

1469
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: around name guys, was you'd hope that the kids from

1470
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: your high school who when college came back and you

1471
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: had a chance to work out with them or something.

1472
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: But being around professional athletes and professional coaches, this is

1473
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: like a dream come true. You know. I've told our

1474
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: families at John Paul that, I mean, this is something

1475
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna remember forever. Then get one chance to do it.

1476
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: They need to learn everything they can from the football piece,

1477
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: but also from the life skills that you know that

1478
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: coach Garrett puts into this program, and it's just it's

1479
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 1: amazing to see how they are changing the kids lives.

1480
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: They can have fun, compete, but man, when they walk

1481
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: off and I ask them, I do ask them, hey,

1482
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: tell me kind of what you learned, not about the

1483
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: football piece, but what else. It's incredible, man, It's really incredible.

1484
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, we won't keep you too long, man,

1485
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,320

Speaker 1: and let brought us try to take some jabs at you,

1509
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: go back and check it out. And then they're the

1510
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: other teams. If they just showed on the monitor that

1511
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: all the other teams that didn't make the championship game

1512
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: are sitting up in the stands cheering these guys on.

1513
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I heard I heard about four guys from

1514
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 1: the blue team say they got cheated. Oh yeah, it

1515
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: sounds like our It sounds like our flag football game.

1516
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Did we play out here? Somebody always and cheated out

1517
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: of here? If you know about Nick's injury, hunt, no, no,

1518
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: I saw him happen and he played through it though.

1519
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: Let's the diagnosis, Nick torn calf? Yeah, I don't know.

1520
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: They're moving me over here. Yeah all right, just stepping

1521
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: over here. How careful, don't don't blow your other calf.

1522
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: I'll hold I'll hold this right now. So how's how's

1523
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the leg doing? Oh it's fine. It's a sprained sprained,

1524
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: uh calf with a minor tear. Sorry, I wish I

1525
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: could see there as soon as it will play by

1526
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: play for you right there, Any Brad Sham here to

1527
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: kind of give us a little overview there, but we

1528
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: got everybody else's take earlier about going into training camp. Yeah,

1529
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: what what are you most looking or what are you

1530
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: gonna be watching at camp? What are you or what

1531
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: are you most looking forward to? You know, I still

1532
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 1: think it comes down to how this offense gets guys open,

1533
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: makes makes he really utilizes these good players. I mean

1534
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: it's a great offensive line. I think Deck's really getting better.

1535
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: He looks good and these um OTAs, you know what

1536
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna do. Just just how can they utilize Kellen

1537
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Moore's strength and say, all right, let's get these guys open,

1538
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: Let's figure this out. And that's one thing that I

1539
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: have seen. I feel like guys are always running open um.

1540
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good for the defense or not,

1541
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: but but I just feel like it's schemed a little

1542
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: better so far. We'll see, But that's my main thing is,

1543
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, you got the talent. Can they really be

1544
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: efficient and move the ball on offense consistently? Is this

1545
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: some of the best talent that you you've been You've

1546
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: been here just I came with you in nineteen ninety nine.

1547
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: And uh, but as far as you talk about the

1548
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 1: most talented rosters that they have. Where would you and

1549
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: your years rank this with the with the rosters that

1550
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: you've seen. I think that this is right up there

1551
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: with the oh seven and oh wait. I think the

1552
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight team was really good and they

1553
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: went nine and seven and missed the playoffs. That's one

1554
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,879
Speaker 1: thing about this team. When you look at Jason Garrett

1555
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: and and and and Wade Phillips and from that era

1556
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: from about two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight, Um,

1557
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: maybe they can sign that guy. I mean, yeah, that

1558
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: was a I looked like a nice range play for

1559
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 1: the Green team safety right there. Yeah, I don't know

1560
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: about these supposed to be kids. That guy looked like

1561
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: he was shaving. I need to go talk to him

1562
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: about going to LSU before George gets him at Alabama.

1563
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: It's really what I need to do. The one thing

1564
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: about this team that they haven't done well is is

1565
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: that they haven't built off success. I mean, twenty seven,

1566
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: thirteen and three is supposed to come back in O eight,

1567
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs with Garrett here in. Fourteen

1568
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: was a really good year. Fifteen was was tragic. Two

1569
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: sixteen was good seventeen they missed, So here they are again.

1570
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: Can they build off off of success? Yeah, and we're

1571
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna have Speaking of success, I don't even know where

1572
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I was going with that. Yeah, there's it sounds like

1573
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: there was. Yeah, we're towards the end of the It

1574
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:49,759
Speaker 1: looks like we're towards the end. And they're all getting

1575
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: together here right now, so close to wrapping this thing,

1576
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: wrapping this thing up. It looks like to me, if

1577
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: I had to guess, Green had the interception and they

1578
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 1: were maybe throwing a hail Mary there, So maybe Gray

1579
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: is our our champion here. I'd hate to high fiving people. Yeah,

1580
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: I think that one. Dak looks happy, so that's good.

1581
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: It's nice that all these players can get them again.

1582
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: We keep talking about that. But you know, there's some

1583
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: bragging rights going on right now. Yeah, there's some serious problem.

1584
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: I mean, they there, we go, we get some celebration. Yeah,

1585
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 1: the coaches, which are our players, get into this. Oh yeah,

1586
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if there were some some dinner

1587
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: bets going on. Oh, absolutely on this thing, because they

1588
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: really get competitive. Yeah, it's a it's a great thing

1589
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,840
