So, Nate, what you got for us, brother? 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:21.680 Cowboys offense defense, Philadelphia offense defense. We're covering all today. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.159 Cowboys are on the field practicing right now. You got 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:29.560 the laptop up. What you got for us, brother, is 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:36.080 there is our offense versus their defense. That's yeah, the 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.520 offense first, Yeah, yeah, I do it. On the football field. 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.120 Eleven and eleven. Brandon Graham has eight point five sacks. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:50.880 Javonne Hargrave has ten sacks. Josh Weaz has nine point 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:58.279 five sacks. Hassan Reddick has twelve sacks. I'm just sending 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.560 an alert out there right now. I'm sending anotherer that 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.960 is forty sacks screaming to the practice. That is forty 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:11.320 sacks out of fifty five. They're tied with the Cowboys. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:18.679 Please do meal, favorite coach Filman, Please let's not rotate 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:24.200 offensive lineman. This week. That's don't play that. I've been 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:28.000 watching film. They cannot only beat you man on man, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:34.400 but they're good at running games. Let's not play that 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.039 game this week. And that's why I was looking at 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.279 the film and I was trying to go back even 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.240 to the one, the one loss, versus watching. That's why 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.760 I was acting like I was sold into a computer. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.320 Wal act right, but just glad to have you here. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.240 How us your dentals and mentals? Because how is your brother? This? 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.839 This thing ain't gonna be nice this week? So what 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.880 scares you more? The Philly defensive line? We know who 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.919 you just named off all those guys, or maybe the 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.400 probably the best offensive line in the league, two of 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.960 the best tackles. Maybe you're talking about their offensive line. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.800 There are beast and beast Man and Pro Football Focus. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.440 Now you take that whatever however you want to take 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.440 it right, right, You want to take it right because 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.400 some people that's bible, some people that's yeah, that's a lie, right, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.559 But Pro Football Focus has the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.760 as the number one offensive line in all of football. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.520 And the best kept secret that's not a secret to 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.880 all football players is that center of theirs. Yeah, he's 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.760 a beast. He's reinvented himself. Six years ago he was 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.600 the number one center. Then he kind of he's ranked 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:55.640 pro football hasn't ranked number one. I tell people this 0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:01.159 is the easiest game to break down because they old 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:05.360 school and every form except the pure passing quarterback, but 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:10.280 everywhere else they're old school. Their corners can cover the 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.880 safetiest play how they were up and back. Their defensive 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.520 line get out to you and that team that we 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.040 saw in the first four or five games. You can 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.640 just run. Now you're not just gonna run anywhere. You 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.480 won't any time. You won't. And they know how to 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.560 get off the field if they need a play, and 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.480 that's what defense is about. Now let's give up three 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.880 and not seven, specially in critical situations. They know how 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.920 to get off the field. Jets, they know how to 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.080 get off the field. And like I said, what you can, 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.280 you can paint it however you want. They've had more 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:48.520 games of where like coach McCarthy said, I need to 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.720 see a strain, they don't had more strained any games. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.960 They don't man had more games that they just beat 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.800 folks up. They don't have games where they've been physical 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.679 They've had games where they've outscored people and they, unlike us, 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.440 they have won the majority of them. Yeah, what do 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.800 you where do you broch? Which side of that line? 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.239 To me, it's the offensive line because when you're looking 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.440 at it, their offensive line being the number one offensive 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.600 line in the league. And and you go back and 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.560 you look at the game when we played them, they 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.800 were kind of handling this up front until what's their 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.200 right tackle them. I'm drawing a blank in this right here, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.320 Lane Johnson. Lane Johnson had went out with the concussion, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.760 and then you kind of saw Mica and companies start 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.160 getting um, you know, start getting in and getting in 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.040 the back filling creating some pressure. But where they're strong 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.520 at right now, and that's a lot of areas for 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.480 this football team, Like when you look at Philly and 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.880 it's not us like kissing Philly's butter, bowing down the 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.480 Philly But when you look at Philly on offense and 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.720 in defense and the special teams, they are solid. Yeah, 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.400 they're They're a solid bunch. And I talked about this 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.880 for the last couple of weeks about in December, you 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.400 want to see your team in two places. You want 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.440 to see two things happening to your football team. You 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.320 want to see them peaking and you want to see 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.360 your team off the injury report. Now, outside of the quarterback, 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.960 which is by far the most important position on the field, 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:21.559 this team is either healthy or getting guys back. They 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.760 just got back there tight they're tight end. Dallas got 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.839 it from injury, so they're getting healthy. They're they're getting 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.240 guys back of significance that are coming back to their 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.720 football team. And for the Cowboys, their defense is ailing. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.439 Michael Parson will miss his second day of practice today 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:38.880 due to an illness. Now, I don't know if that's 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.200 flu or COVID or whatever it is, but you know, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.240 I even said on Twitter, that's a gift and a 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.599 curse because from Micah, you know, the curses that his 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.319 body now has to fight this whatever this bug is, 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.240 whatever this his amuse system is battling this thing. The 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.440 gift is he's getting the rest that he actually probably needs. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.400 He needs some rest. But I don't you know, I'm 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.120 no doctors. I don't know how that all. You know, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.760 it's because it's a muse system's fighting this bug off. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.760 It's taking away from the recovery portion of it. And 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.080 vice versa. But him not practicing and maybe giving some 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.520 other guys some opportunity to get some reps in this week. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.680 Uh could be key, but I know getting him the 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.280 rest that he needs because he's wore down. He's he 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.480 said it verbally and you see it physically on the 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.480 football field. So for me, it's the it's the offensive 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.600 line for the Philadelphia even because they're solid, tips dips, 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:35.880 some busting on them hills. Explain when you when your 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.600 offensive tackle and I just leave a piece and you 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:43.200 chip him. Yeah, Oh, I am the tight end and 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.880 the tackle and we're gonna deal on him, and you 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.680 know what, and then we run up here and thank 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.559 you free. We're gonna be gonna trap your red in 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.960 that hill. And before and when you have to play 0:10:55.280 --> 0:11:01.119 on average thirty two minutes a game as a defense, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:08.440 it will wear on you. So well, now you see 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.800 the results we are well, we won't be averaging thirty 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.920 two minutes a game because we'll get into our first 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.920 break of the show. Get a lot of hells. I 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.240 like hips. I like them hips. I like yeah, I 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.400 like me some hips. Now, ain't nothing roll a little 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.000 I'm saying little hips around Christmas Mary, Mary Christians. There 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.400 you go, Kurt, Mary Christmas on hips. All right, we're 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.080 gonna take our first break of the show. When we 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.240 come back, we're gonna keep breaking this thing down. Offense defense, 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.200 Cowboys Eagles. We're gonna look at this thing to both sides. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.400 What are some things that Cowboys can do to give 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:45.000 themselves a realistic chance to win this football game? Nate, Kurt, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.840 We're gonna talk about that on the other side of 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.360 this break. This is hanging with the boys. We'll be 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:54.280 right back.

As we're heading into the Saturday showdown Philadelphia 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:44.360 Eagles your Dallas Cowboys at and T Stadium, it's beginning 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.080 to feel a lot like Christmas. And on Christmas, we 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.240 like to receive gifts. And the best gifts in football 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.560 are the gifts of winning. Yes, that is the best gift. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.640 That is actually the only gift that you want to 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.800 open each and every week during the National Football League season. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.440 And the Cowboys, whether Jalen hurts because it's talk with 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.680 the shoulder spray that he has that he may not 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.160 play in this football game, and you know there's talks about, well, 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.960 the Cowboys, you've kind of already sewn up the fifth seed. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.200 A lot has to happen for you to fall out 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.200 of that position. Like the Eagles have to lose out, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.320 you have to win out. Another team have to lose 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.280 a game for you to kind of move up and 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.240 down that situation. A lot of what you are, a 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.360 lot of what your future is is kind of really 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:33.160 already set. Right. It's almost you're the fifth seed. You'll 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.239 be headed South at some point in time in the playoffs, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.680 whether that's Atlanta, whether that's Tampa Bay, whether that's New Orleans, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.720 or whether that's Carolina. However the NFC South plays out. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.960 But when you look at this football game, Kurt, is 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.080 this one of those games despite your being in the 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.520 fifth feed, whether or not Jalen Hurst plays or not, 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.960 is this game? Does this game still hold the significant 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.080 it's that it did prior to the Jacksonville injury. Prior 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.360 to the Jalen Hurst injury. Does it still hold that 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.360 same hum and they told her there this hand on 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.360 his forehead, He's just I'm waiting on you man. Yes, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.680 it still holds that importance. I think the way that 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.480 the Cowboys have played these last three games, the loss 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.960 this past Sunday. They need to come out and show 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.240 that they are still contenders in this even without Jalen 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.960 hurtss is a tough team. They can't got plenty of 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.080 Michael Parses has already told y'all, ain't Jalen. It's the 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.360 rest of the team. It's the system. It's the rest 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.280 of the team. So he's just a piece to the puzzle. 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.680 It may not carry the same weight anymore with the Eagles, 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.760 like they may want to rest Hurts for this game. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.200 They may, you know, just to not show what he 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.960 can do. Who knows. But for the Cowboys it's still 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.760 it still means a lot. And this segment is brought 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:57.000 to you by Blockchain.

Now, do you know 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.840 Michael came out and said the other this is a system, right, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.199 He's not jailing is a system. And if jailing doesn't go, 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.360 you have now Gardner Minshew will be the backup quarterback 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:31.000 for the Philadelphia Eagles. And to your point, Kurt, you know, 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.080 winning is always what you want to do. You always 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.800 want to have that feeling of winning. And who knows, 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.679 you may have to see this Philadelphia team for the 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.639 third time in the playoffs if things shake out to 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:47.520 be that way. So if you come into this game 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.479 and you lose to a guy like Gardner Minshew, because 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.840 that other the other pieces of this team is still 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.679 significantly good, does that have a negative effect on your 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.399 football team? Can you see the thing spiraling out of 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.919 control a little bit? Because then now even on a 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.800 even more short week, you got Thursday night football at Tennessee, 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.560 who are fighting for their lives, their playoff lives. Yeah, 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.760 it could definitely have that snowball effect because guys are 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.200 banged up, they're sore, they're tired, they're They've got a 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.200 big statement here they want to make and if they 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.359 can't make it, I mean, the Eagles aren't to me, 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.000 are you know? Are they really worried about Dallas? Now? 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.080 They're looking they've got Super Bowl aspirations, they're looking ahead 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:31.359 where cowboys. They're here now is Philly. They need to 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.919 prove something this week. I think Nate wanting to win 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:38.080 a game and actually winning a football game are two very, 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:43.240 very very different things. I want a six pack, really do. 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.119 I want a six pack back, But me actually getting 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:48.679 a six pack at this point in time in my 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:55.880 trash life probably not gonna happen, unless unless Derekot pay 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.439 me my money, that gonna get the surgery. But wanting 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.800 to win and actually winning they are two completely different things. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:06.960 The Cowboys as a whole offensive coordinator defensive coordinatory they 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.440 had to have a come to Jesus meeting this week 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:14.280 after the performance in Jacksonville against the Jaguars last week, 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.560 giving up a seventeen point lead, giving up five hundred 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.800 total yards of offense, and then allowing uh, you know 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.280 those last couple of players offensively the drop on third down, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.280 the sorry the hail Mary kind of play on third down, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.320 and then the the you know the other drop on 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.120 the other third down four that led to the interception 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:37.720 for the game winning interception. What does let me say this, 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:44.000 who does who has to come out and show self 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:50.640 to be worthy of the coordinator position this week? More? No, no, no, no, 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.919 no, no no no no no no all right, no no, 0:19:52.960 --> 0:20:00.800 shut up. Every every able body, from the head coach 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.520 to the coordinators, to the players, to the position coach. 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:10.040 Everybody has to come out and finally and hopefully do 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:15.040 their job. We have not, and I'm gonna keep preaching it. 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.919 Don't I don't care. I know I'm right. We have 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:23.720 not for the last four weeks played a solid, strong 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:29.520 football game. The errors we have made has been silly 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.760 and un called for. The things we've done don't make 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:38.240 no sense. We have to come out know who our 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:42.320 offensive line is, know who our receivers are. The only 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.960 thing that is one hundred percent sure, and it's two 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.000 of those. We know Dak is the quarterback, and when 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.600 we know Tony and zekis the running backs. Everything else 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.679 has just been spinning around. Everything else has been maybe 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:59.480 so okay, all right, you look at Philly. I know 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.359 who didn't know Umber one receiver is. I know who 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.359 they number two receiver is. I know who they running 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:10.080 back is. We know what and who the offensive line is. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:15.720 When you preach that we're a team that what you 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.440 give us we will aggressively take, we have not been 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:25.960 very good at that. We we refuse to believe that 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:30.800 Tony Pollard is our best player whoa. We refuse to 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:39.280 believe that Tony Pollard is our best player. This is 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.480 one thing I am jess. I can joke, I can job, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.400 I can take a joke, I can take a job. 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.040 But when it comes to only one thing, I've been 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.359 taught this over my years. Winning is the only the 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.040 ordering that covers all And as long as they were winning, 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.760 as long as you was throwing the interceptions, as long 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.680 as we was having all sides, but we were winning, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.160 I could come in and find a way. But when 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:08.240 you're when you lose because of all these bad habits 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.240 and bad things, and then you're gonna player to play 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:16.240 a team that tends to don't show those bad habits. 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.600 We have to start showing people who we are if 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.320 we are that all those people. And so I'm sitting here, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.520 I'm listening, I'm trying to gather it all up. What 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:31.280 has told you that the Cowboys are ready? And we 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.280 had this discussion six weeks ago. You're like, I'm waiting 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.800 on the playoffs. I'm like, I'm waiting on us to 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:42.080 beat a team of equal talent. Are better? This team 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.400 has equal talent to us, that's with or without their quarterback. 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.360 They are equal. This is a chance to go out 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.000 and beat a team that has equal talent, and I 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:55.920 know their coaching staff is equal to ours. So let's 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.479 see some great coaching moves. Let's see some great players 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.240 do some things. That's what I'm waiting on. What do 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.000 you what do you think? Did you? I don't know 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.960 if you saw Jarron Curses quote, but he sets up quote, 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.080 loved it. He kind of called out some teammates, saying 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:12.040 not coming into the game with that edge is a 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.399 defensive you know, not having that complete hunger that was 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.879 shown earlier this year. Um. He also said, you know, 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.960 if you've been giving it everything, you know if you're not. 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.320 It sounds like at least he believes in that locker rooms, 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:27.119 some of those guys aren't fully committed. Man. The one 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.680 thing I'll say about j Ron Curse is this has 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:33.880 been a guy who's he's been consistent. I remember having 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.160 him on the show last year. You said, I love 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.199 this dude, he said, you know, and they said, I 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.320 love a dude who can talk in an interview, calm, 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.679 cool and collective and then be a crazy man on 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:46.640 the football field. And that's that's who j Ron Curse says, calm, 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.359 cool and collective, but a dog on the football field. 0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.120 But you know, you can tell that he has a 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:56.200 voice in that locker room. Um and and and guys 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:59.440 like j Ron Curse are There's two ways that you're 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.159 you're allowed allowed to have a voice like that in 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:08.919 the locker room. You're either one a damn good player 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:15.520 like and I mean elite player, or two you have 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.720 shown improven that you are one of the people who 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:23.680 practice what you preach, showing up to film, being prepared, 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.159 doing all of the little things throughout the week to 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:31.159 get yourself ready for Sunday, and then that showing proved 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:35.440 to be right on Sunday. And I think while Jay 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.280 Rod's not at the elite level, I think he's the 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.439
