Gonna be a toilet bro Oh, 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.840 big game this weekend, boys, this game. You know what 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.680 every game for the last five weeks has been and 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.120 this one no different. Man, You win this one. You 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.320 know what's gonna What would be nice? What would be 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.920 really nice? There's a couple of possibilities. Right, the Cowboys win, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.720 they clinches the division. Possibility the Cowboys lose and the 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.239 Eagles and Redskins lose, you clinch the division. Right, Yes, 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:28.160 Redskins are playing the Jaguars. Yes, I think Eagles are 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.960 playing the Rams. What would be really nice is just 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.800 go to Indy. Win this game, get the hats and 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.000 the T shirts in the locker room. Let us get 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:42.960 some really cool pictures, some great social media videos. Let's 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.479 don't lose this game, and then come home and watch 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.280 the night game. I totally agree, and have to celebrate 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.880 by ourselves. Two games left, then the rest guys get ready. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.640 I want to win the game and I want to celebrate. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.040 I want to party on the plane. I want the 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.480 plane to be like Soul Plane. Do you ever see movie, Kurt? Actually, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.080 I'm not saying, oh, that's a great movie. I want 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.120 to party on the plane. I've done a lot of that, man, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.520 have you? Oh my god, wow, I want to do it. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.040 I want a party like Nate. So I got a 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.480 question for you. Actually, this is a great question by 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.200 Kurt Nate, I doubt you answer it, So, Kurt, I'll 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.280 let you answer your own question. Got Nate's got at 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.880 least I think he'll chime in at this point. Would 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.800 you rather have Andrew Luck or Dak Prescott? Luck has 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.839 the better numbers, but he'll turn thirty next year and 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.480 has had a lot of injuries. Dak's twenty five has 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.560 a better winning percentage. Kurt says Pro Football Focus grades 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.040 Luck the fourth best quarterback in the NFL this year. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.040 Who the who? The top three? Do you have? Who? 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:54.520 Those three? Yeahs? Is two Rivers? Is three Rivers? Then Luck, 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.640 Brady Rogers, the usual respect. They got a big game 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:02.160 this week too, Chargers and Chiefs. That's pretty big, big 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.080 for the AFC. So what do you think? What do 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.520 you think? Nate? You got an opinion on that lot, 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.680 you know, And I'm being honest. Luck ain't nothing like Luck? Yeah, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.320 nothing like when he's not hurt. When he's not ain't 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.920 nothing like a health to Luck. I mean, I'm being honest. See, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.520 I love I love Dak Prescott. He plays for Dallas 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.840 Dallas Cowboys. He's a he's a he's a hell of 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.479 a guy. He's a hell of a leader. Uh, he's 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.440 a winner. He's a winner. But I think the same 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.160 Luck with a better arm talent. Yeah, you can. Luck 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.800 is what motivates and told their team. Uh. And I've 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.400 always said I think Dak is a is a co star. 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.560 I think you put a lot of uh not a lot. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.320 You give him, You give him good pieces, and he 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.120 can make it. He can help them be better. You know, 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.239 Luck will make them. It will make these guys better. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.920 Luck he that type of guy. So yeah, man, even 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.200 at thirty, even at thirty, Luck is a beast because nowadays, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.840 used to thirty, you were on the backside. Now hell, 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.800 these guys were playing thirty four and I'd be like, nah, yeah, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:10.480 he's kind of innerned yet Yeah he Luck is real man. Yeah, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.600 what do you think, Kurt Well? I was kind of surprised. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.080 Look comparing their stats, Um, you know, Lux obviously he 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.680 averages two hundred and seventy five yards a game, Prescott 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.960 two hundred and twenty four. Luck two tds Prescott one 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.320 one point four. But there's other ways they're pretty similar. 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.920 I mean they average seven point two. Luck seven point 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.960 two yards per passed, Prescott seven point four. Luck has 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.920 an eighty nine point three career rating. Prescott has a 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.760 ninety five point eight. So I mean Prescott's better completion percentage. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.160 I mean it's going a little better. Luck has four 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:48.520 fifty plus passing games and lost them all. Dak has one. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.920 I mean everything either equal or points in Dak favor. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:59.280 But I'll tell you what, man, just ball test. Yeah, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.520 but talking about Dak so much about this last game, 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.200 if he and looking at his stats and digging into 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.040 all this stuff, and sometimes it's ugly, but man, he 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.880 defies logic. Yes, and if he just matures a little 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.920 bit when it comes to taking care of the ball, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.160 he's gonna be hard as hell to beat. Man. Yeah, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.600 I mean he's very and I know he gets his 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.800 comparison a lot, or at least he did of his 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.040 his rookie year, But he's very Russell Wilson esque. He 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.120 just he grinds. Also has become He's become a Yeah, 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.360 Russell has become Dak. He's afague about one hundred and 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.760 seventy eighty. I'm serious, he's become When Dak was was 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.000 hot for us a couple of years ago, and now 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.800 he's hot. Dak is a two fifty to two seventy 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:54.000 guy U thirty two passes or less, uh, seventy percent, 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:59.600 you know, completion a touchdown R two, whether it's running 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.480 a path, and don't make a difference to him. He 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.600 is a bottom line guy, win the game. You know 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.440 a lot of quarterbacks say they are bottom line guys, 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.880 but if you go into their background, if you talk 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.800 to some of the fellows around them, they'll find out 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.000 their bottom line win guy. If they're getting their numbers, 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.520 they want their numbers. Yeah, you know, Dak, he truly 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.720 wants to win, because that's how it is. That's how 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.880 Troy was. Troy's like, I'm telling you, Truy can throw 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:31.800 it the best of them. Yeah, I've seen it, I 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.760 know it. He can throw it the best stuff. Man. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:39.120 But just think Emmon had one year like twenty five 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:44.120 twenty seven touchdowns and and a third of them was 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.839 in the red zone. Don't you know that Troy could 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:52.440 have had half of those in this touchdown ratio would 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.160 have been out of the you know, out of this world. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.240 But he didn't care. When we got inside the five, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:04.040 it was in time. Yeah. You see that in Daku. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.800 The accuracy, no, but the winningness to win, yes, see 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:11.880 some guy. I'm telling a lot of guys to talk 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.480 about winning and then I'll talk. And that's why I 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.200 feel so comfortable about Sean Lee. I'm serious, Yeah, I 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.520 feel comfortable to bring him back when he's ready to 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.439 bring him back, insert him, give him, giving him his 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.560 snaps because he's gonna be about the team. Everybody's not gonna, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.400 you know, And it hurt his hard. I mean, he's 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.720 a competitor. It hurt his hard, but he'll do it 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.240 for the team. Yeah, everybody, you win him and be like, 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.800 oh nah, and let him go. It's all right, We'll 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.040 do all right. Yeah. What do you think Dak has 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.040 this year three? Middle of year three, well towards the 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.200 end of year three? Do you think he's what he 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.320 is now is what he's gonna be, or do you 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.200 think he's got them things? He got a few things 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.600 that he approved on. What are those? Just? Just ball security? 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.079 Obviously is one, right? That is the key to this 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.720 because you came into the league approving protector of the 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:08.160 ball while you made calculated and good throws. I think 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.959 he'll get back to those good throws, you know, because 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.320 he'll know his receivers better. He'll understand the offense just 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.000 a touch better, and I think our office a line 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.080 will be a little bit better. All those things equate 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.960 to a better Dack. Now, if he come in doing 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.120 the same thing again next year, and I'm gonna tell 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.760 you something, the league will adjest to you and they say, oh, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.120 he gonna just take advantage of them, he's gonna throw. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.520 If if you're gonna wind up throwing seven or eight 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.520 bad passes a game, they can say whatever they want, 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.880 but you got it, you don't have it. You you 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.320 a problem because now you're sporadic, and then'll cost your 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.160 games when the league catch it with you, the cost game. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.920 But now if he can get rid of getting those 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.200 down to one or two maybe bad throws a game, 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.880 then then you got something special. Yeah you're looking at 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.280 other Kirk. Oh, you mentioned Sean Laman. Go. It looks 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.280 like he's limited in practice today, so he's starting to 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.720 see a little action out there. Yeah. Yeah. Avon Austin 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.280 also limited, so he may be coming. Oh excuse me 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.439 a few guys. It looks like Zeke kind of sitting 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:17.040 out for precautionary or just rest. Zach's obviously sitting out. 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.240 Let me tell you someth man. People talking about timing. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.280 Let me tell you. If a receiver catch fifteen to 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.520 twenty balls a week at least ten to twelve a week, 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.800 and a running back run twenty or thirty times a week, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.920 what tell me what do he need to do during 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:41.679 the week for me? Hey, man, let's get over there 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.199 in jog a little bit, stay lose, you know what 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.080 I'm saying to do. A couple of little wind spreads. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.800 Go and just put him over there with the special 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:53.720 teams guys run back and forth. Yeah, because, man, forty 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.280 times that's a lot. You know something somebody you mentioned 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.600 that we really haven't talked about coming back back into 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.760 this offense. That gives you a totally new dynamic now 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.240 that you have Cooper in there and you have, you know, 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:13.040 a pretty stable offensive line. Is Tavon Austin. No, not 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.120 that guy before, before Amory got here, Zeke was the 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.720 only guy that that could take it to the house. Besides, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.400 you had Tavon. He'd proved that you get the ball 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.480 in his hands, he can he can make something happen. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.400 Now you got Amory to spread the field a little 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.160 bit more, you can do some tricked up stuff with 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.640 Tavon or put him in the receiver rotation and just 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.520 try to get the ball in his hands on some short, 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:41.400 quick routes because you've seen he's pretty explosive. I'm excited 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.319 to see him get back in his lineup. You know, 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.400 interesting to see how they use him. Yeah, like you 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.800 said that, they've got a deep ball threat now with 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.200 Cooper and just I mean, is he gonna take some 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.200 of some plays in the slot with Cole? Is he 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.840 gonna line up other slot? I mean, I don't know, 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:03.679 but you know, you know it ain't It ain't interesting 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.840 to me to see how they're gonna use him just 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:11.680 using I'm serious, see him involved, right, yeah, just get 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.800 give give him the ball in an open space and 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.760 let's see him go. Because like you said, now with Cooper, 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.160 they got open space. So now you you know, you're 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.040 gonna have to pay attention to our passing game. Yeah 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.040 you And so it's like you did if our tight ends, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.520 I mean, now it's taxing the whole the whole defense 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.760 got to defend the whole field, you know, And so 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:39.880 think about this. Just let's just let's just dream a 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.520 little bit. Okay, let's just open our minds up a 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:48.560 little bit. Let's Tavon's coming back, right, Rest Zach a week, 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.080 let him get better. You head into the playoffs with 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.440 you're getting Sean Lee back, You're getting Tavon Austin back. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.360 What you haven't had him involved in this offense, hopefully 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.440 a healthies. Jack Martin tiring's back kind of in the rotation. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.280 Maybe you rest him and give him another week off 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.760 and you get You pretty much have your entire unit 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.680 that you started the season with on both sides of 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.520 the ball heading into the most important stretch of the year, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.000 which is the playoffs. Your defense is playing like wild men. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:25.160 Your offensive has shown that they can put points on 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.440 the board, can be explosive, and if they need to, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.760 they can throw the ball Hell's dac through for over 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.360 four hundred yards. I mean, just think about it. It's 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:36.560 almost like this is all coming together at the right time. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:41.080 And if you believe in this team, why not you know, 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.320 why not them? And before you answer them, why why 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.680 do I get the distinct fitting in Douglas? You a 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.600 voice analyst? Uh? Tim, Oh, why do I get Shannon 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.800 is trying to talk itself into it? I mean, I'm 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.560 in do you feel that I'm talking to fans into 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.280 it because he's fair broken staring up in the sky. 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.080 Their hearts have been broken. I'm look, I'm looking to 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:13.640 Jesus to bring these people in to believe. As Nate 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:18.560 would say, Lord, Jesus, help me, help me convince these 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:23.320 people that this team can do this. Why not? Why not? 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.640 Why not? Hell? They beat the Saints, why not? They're 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.840 coming together the right time. I'm telling you, man, do 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.360 not sleep on this team. Don't. As as our buddy 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:37.240 Antoine Woods would say, the human Logue, don't blink, don't blink, 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.840 don't blink, blink. They gotta get through this game.

Yeah, 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:57.000 a nice, very nice lunch. Um. The guy was asking 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.600 me about back in Valley Ranch. I told him it 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.720 was about as big as this room though, yeah that 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.240 we had Yeah yeah, yeah, so would fit the whole 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.640 team in there. And the sad thing they tore down 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.960 old Valley Ranch, right, Yeah, I didn't get a chance 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.000 to get those copy of the blue carpet. That was 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.639 my first vision when I came to the cowboys, who 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.359 was walking in the night and seeing that that that 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.080 Regal Royal blue carpet. And that's my fondest memory of 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.199 when I first got drafted about Dallas. When we got you, 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.000 I was in the first uh second round. Uh remember 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.960 they had three picks first year. Yeah, and then uh 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:39.040 coach uh then Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones uh uh told 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.200 me he said, Dixon called, we'll call you right back 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.840 and then and I was expecting him to say, you know, 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.040 they picked Dixon Networks. And what they did is they 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.959 traded with Detroit and then knocked me down a thirty 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.560 seven pick. But this is this is the thing, right, 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.800 So I tell everybody about this. I said, it took 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.919 me about five years to figure it out. You know, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.840 back then, we didn't have um busy you know, you 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:01.800 you would have a busy signal on the on the 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.119 phone if somebody called you, right, huh. You know, it 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.480 wasn't on call waiting. So he kept me on the 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.280 phone the whole time, like in the first round, asking 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.720 me different thing, what's your favorite color Dixon? I was 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.600 like blue suit. I'm sitting there trying to figure out 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.600 exactly what he's doing, right, and then you know, and 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.320 then so and finally figured out that he was keeping 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.239 me on the phone so that nobody else could call me. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.280 But it didn't turn out bad. You know, I'm fortunately 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.040 to be sitting here talking to you today. Yeah you 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.359 know what I'm saying. So did you guys, go ahead? 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.520 Go ahead? That goes? No, it was me. I mean 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.680 you were here in the yeah ninety Yeah, yeah, I was, Yeah, 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.679 I was here with My last game was the Super 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.399 Bowl and Arizona. Yeah that was my last game with 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.000 the Cowboys. So who all you came with? What's your class? 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.960 Oh shoot, my gudness. Yeah yeah, Goffrey Miles, which passed away. 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.280 He was my roommate. Yeah, yeah. He taught me a lot, 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.040 and it was It's crazy that we were, you know, 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.480 roommates in the competition between us both we were playing 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.879 the same position. But Godfrey, you know, kind of floated 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:04.640 around and was able to back up a lot of people. 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.960 So we had the ability to to do that. Where 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.120 um we had Russell Maryland. Uh, then we had um 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:17.440 Alvin Harper I um then uh job everyone. No, yeah, 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.800 Larry was there. Larry was the last pick. So we 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:25.520 had Eric Williams, Leon lad yeah, Godfrey, Yeah, yeah. It 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:29.159 was class. They all. I've seen on TV where they 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.360 argued that we had one of the best draft classes, 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:36.240 you know, of all time, you know, so yeah it was. 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:39.640 It was specially for the Dallas Cowboys that that class there, 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.600 I tell you that class hurts around. H yeah. Yeah. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.600 Class really had a lot of speed at linebacker, empower 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.840 at the offensive line with the big yeah yeah yeah. 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.919 It was yeah, and and and all around athletic ability 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:56.160 with Leon la Dens. I mean It helped out put 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.040 punch in different places. Oh yeah. I mean to have 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:03.040 as a line background, to be fortunate to have Russell 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.200 Maryland in a three and leon Let up in front 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.800 of you. There was nobody getting through to touch us, 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.119 and we were we were so free. I remember when 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.119 I went to Minnesota and the first player I was 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.199 in Minnesota in practice in four pads, and I have 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.919 never ever seen a center in my face so fast 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.879 on floor away. I couldn't believe it. I was like, 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.359 where does gut come from? I'm like, who?
