Speaker 1: Four wins in a row for the Dallas Cowboys and

10
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Hot Diggity Dog. That's the new phrase, I think for

11
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: the level of excitement happening around here. It's an old phrase.

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: You guys are way too young for that. It's back

13
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: in the fifties, sixties you maybe you saw it on

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Laughing or No. That's the perfect age for me as

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: a new dad Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. That's how they ended

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Every week they'll throw the Hot Dignity Dog song. Yeah,

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: every Chris knows, Yeah, yes, okay, yeah, they're un familiar.

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm the elder millennial here and that's even going over

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: my head. I'm lost one day, one day, like, is

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: it on social media? Because is it trending on footer? No? No,

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: because if it's not, he does Jane kids love it? Chris,

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I um, I've always loved the phrase. It was big

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: on happy Days in the seventies, but now it's over

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: my sometimes. But but what does hot diggity dog mean

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: to us? I was amazed and by the way, joined

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: by Rob Phillips of Dallas Cowboys Media on this Wednesday

27
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: for media match, Slater Jane or you know or as

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Jane Slater from the NFL Network and Other Things podcast

29
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: and whatnot joins us this win today. That's John Maschoda

30
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: back again from the Athletic Happy He's here. It was

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: amazing to me. But Cowboys always put out a little

32
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: video that goes on Twitter. The sounds of the game

33
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, sounds of the sidelines and Treyvon Diggs has

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: actually become an absolute side show to the game. I

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: mean the players, if you guys, have you seen it

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: the whole game, They're on the edge of their seat

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: waiting for Diggs to get a shot at an interception,

38
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and he had a couple actually dropped one the first

39
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: one and then caught it out of bounds and then

40
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: he did it. I mean, they're all just it is.

41
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: It is an energy that I don't believe has been

42
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: around here, and I'll tell you where I saw it

43
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: last couple of times in my time here. But it's

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: an incredible energy, is it not. Is it something that

45
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: is lifting the team beside just being a real fun sideshow.

46
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's it's legit. I even to a certain extent,

47
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: even though we're in a press box that is behind glass.

48
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I feel like his interceptions as they have gone along

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: these last few weeks, the crowd is just it gets

50
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: even louder. It's bigger than just another takeaway. And then

51
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: even after the game, we didn't get him for very long.

52
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean it was probably only like about a minute,

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: but as Jerry was walking from the Cowboys locker room

54
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: back up to where he was going to go back

55
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: up to his suite, we got him for about a minute.

56
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: And that was one of the first things he said.

57
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: Steve was about how there's just something different about it

58
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: and it's bigger than just an another takeaway, that it

59
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: does have an uplifting feel for the rest of the team.

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: And so I get that sense on the outside. But

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: to your point when you see that video and the

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: guys are constantly talking about like he says he's gonna

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: get one, he's gonna get one, and then when he doesn't,

64
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: they're talking about that too, that it's bigger than just

65
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: any other player getting takeaway right now, or vander Esh

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: saying like if they want to keep trying, fine, like

67
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, teammates are having fun with it, like

68
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: go ahead, sir, yeah, keep trying because I mean Dak

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: said it, like I've learned in practice, don't test him

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: on certain routes. And I think quarterbacks around the league

71
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: are still are still figuring that out. It's the loudest

72
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: that I've heard at and T Stadium lately. Now look

73
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: full admission. I was at ACL Festival this weekend. Rewatch

74
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: the game when I got back, but the games that

75
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: I have been there this year, rightfully, so, this group

76
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: for a long time was the wine and cheese crowd,

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of that was the product on the

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: football field. But when you talk about in your time

79
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: covering the team, when what does this remind you of?

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: It reminds me of twenty sixteen. You know the way

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: that everybody was sort of in the trenches together they had,

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, the big adversity of losing Tony Romo, Kellen

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Moore and just feeling like there was a changing of

84
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the guard. And while Randy didn't say it today, and

85
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in his mouth, I'm

86
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: just reading between the lines and I'm curious for you

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: guys picked up on this too. I asked him just

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: even on the defensive side of the ball, like why

89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: the quick change because it's been so dramatic, and he

90
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: alluded to having the right people from the coaching staff

91
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to the personnel. And I think that there were not

92
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: bad actors in there, but bad attitudes for a while.

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: And I think this group is really putting in the work,

94
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: not only on the football field, but away from practice.

95
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: The guys are feeding off that we even heard about

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: in the offseason when they were up here working out together,

97
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: and how Dak pushed even guys like Tyrn and Lyle

98
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Collins to come back, and so they're all pushers this year.

99
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: They're pushing each other towards something great. And it's it's

100
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 1: nice to cover this team again when you're getting that sense.

101
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: And I think it was Bobby Belt my producer into

102
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: Film Network. He said he saw a video of these

103
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: guys because we haven't been in the locker room this year,

104
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: of them playing the laundry basketball, which is so dumb,

105
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: But that was, I say, so dumb to use that

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: as a reference because that's when those guys were having

107
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: fun back in twenty sixteen, and it hasn't been fun

108
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: around here in a while. Twenty sixteen is a great

109
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: comparison because it's all so how young Diggs. It's the

110
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: youthful energy that Dak and Zeke brought. It just made it.

111
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: It made it fun for us to cover that team

112
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: because I think when Zeke would would leap over defenders,

113
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, remember howly times? It was like, how many

114
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: times can he leap over guys? I felt like those

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: sort of plays sparked the crowd as much as Treyvon

116
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: Diggs is doing it this year. Yeah, he was jumping

117
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: into Salvation army buckets and doing all kinds of crazy stuff.

118
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: And I think the other one would be twenty eighteen

119
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: when they got a Mari here that re energized the team,

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: and that was kind of the missing link that year.

121
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: But to have a player that is this dominant right now. Defensively,

122
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: it just had a key position. It just uplifts everybody.

123
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I think I would go back a little further even

124
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: because I think twenty sixteen was a little different because

125
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: nobody had any idea. It was a scary year when

126
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: Tony went down in that first preseason game and everybody's go, oh,

127
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: my gosh, and now you got two rookies that nobody

128
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: had any idea what they Well, we had a pretty

129
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: good idea what Zeke would be, but that thing, but

130
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: the one But did we really know what Micah Parsons

131
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: was going to be? Do we know how good Dac

132
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: was going to be coming back? Did we know that

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: dan Quinn was going to have this sort of effect

134
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: true on the defense. Did we know that they were

135
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: going to get so close to getting a win on

136
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: the road over Tampa, getting a win against the Chargers.

137
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Those are the things that have really stood out to

138
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: me this year about this team. It's just how quickly

139
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: this thing has turned. Well, not only that, but the

140
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: fact of if this continues to roll like it's rolling

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: right now, I think we're going to look back to

142
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season that when all that's going on,

143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: you're also losing Lyle to a suspension, to Marcus Lawrence

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: is breaking his foot, multiple key players are going on

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: the COVID list, and it was at that one period

146
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: for like two weeks, it was like, what's going to

147
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: happen next. I think we end up looking back on

148
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: that is that might have been kind of a galvanizing

149
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: thing that they were like, well we can overcome this,

150
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: then we're good to go because other people kept stepping up.

151
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: We're in years past that necessarily didn't happen. The other

152
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: thing is too to your point, Jane, about questions like

153
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: we didn't know Diggs was anywhere close to this going

154
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: to be this good this early, and would he be

155
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: the best corner in the league. Yeah, he showed spots

156
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: last year, but remember we were kind of talking it

157
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: was sort of baptism by fire, like they had to

158
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: put him out there and he was getting exposed at times.

159
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that stands out for me,

160
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: and I don't want to interrupt you, Rob, is these

161
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: guys want to get better and they're doing the little things.

162
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, even Zeke, my favorite quote from him today

163
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: was talking about the focus not just on the metal

164
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: but on his body to make for his s show

165
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: last year, like they're just so honest about last year sucked,

166
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: and maybe we all looked in the mirror and I

167
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, some of this was coaching, some of

168
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: it was COVID, but maybe we aren't doing the little

169
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: things to ensure success. And I think it's the attention

170
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: to the little things this year. You know, when you're

171
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: getting close to greatness and you're people are like, well,

172
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: just cleaning up the little things that to me is

173
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: what stands out. Randy's talking about that too, how his

174
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: pursuit of I need to be more consistent then and

175
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: do this better. And this is the guy hadn't played

176
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: a ton of football, you know, but is having a

177
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: major impact. But there's still he feels like there's still

178
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: a level that he can get to. My two examples,

179
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: if you'll allow me, because you know everybody knew Dak

180
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: if Dak was a huge story coming into this year.

181
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: His health, is he going to come back? I think?

182
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: You know. The two that strike me that sort of

183
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere was Romo in OH six when

184
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: he replaces Bledsoe as the starter and he just electrified

185
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the city. I mean that game they lost, He then

186
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: won the next game as first as a starter, then

187
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: lost again, but then ripped off four straight wins and

188
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: just doing it in electrifying fashion. And it's, you know,

189
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: the joke that's flying around or not a joke to Jerry,

190
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: I guess, but the fact that they can't get seven

191
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: jerseys in the pro shaft because this happened so quick,

192
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: and everybody won one same thing in six because Romo's jersey.

193
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: Nobody even thought to make nine jerseys before the season,

194
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: and he just lit it up and real quick. The

195
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: second one was Miles Austin in two thousand and nine,

196
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: because you know, two thousand and eight was the big

197
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: collapse here when they were really good and they started

198
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: six and two or four and one or something like

199
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: that in No. Eight and then collapsed at the end

200
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: of the year. Oh nine, Miles Austin comes out of nowhere.

201
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, everybody, well Edwarder blames the O eight season

202
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: on Tarall Owens, but it was much deeper than that.

203
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: Romo had a pretty heavy hand in it. But he

204
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: was gone and now here's O nine, and how are

205
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: you going to replace that kind of electrifying player in

206
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: that day in Kansas city where Miles Austin goes for

207
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: two fifty out of nowhere, and then he rips off

208
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: one hundred forty five hundred thirty nine hundred forty seven,

209
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty five games in a row, got him

210
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: a great contract, didn't hear much from him since. But

211
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: in all those cases though, and with Trayvon Diggs right now,

212
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: maybe this is just because I'm not originally from Dallas.

213
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: I believe the Cowboys add a little lighter fluid to that,

214
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: because if Trayvon Diggs is picking off six passes in

215
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: the first five games for the Bengals, for the Cleveland Browns,

216
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: like even if they're rolling, like you're gonna hear about

217
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: it a little bit, but it's like, I feel like

218
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: there's even more momentum when you start doing stuff like

219
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: that for the Cowboys, whether it was Romo or Miles Austin,

220
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and then it is the sixteen team with Dak and Zeke,

221
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: and how it builds momentum. I just think it's on

222
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: a bigger scale. It's bigger than just in Dallas. It's everywhere.

223
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: But it's also the receivers he's picking off. I mean,

224
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: they haven't played the lightest schedule and they've played some

225
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: of the best. That's what I don't want to buy in,

226
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: much like I don't ever want to buy into my

227
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Longhorns because I always feel like you get too high

228
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: on the hog and then you brought it up something.

229
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, something always comes up. But what stands out

230
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: to me, even as you guys bring up some of

231
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: these examples, is how helthless this team is. We kind

232
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: of see it, covering it, but to hear all the

233
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: guys talk about it. And if you'll remember when when

234
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: some of these guys in years past would get a

235
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: little bit of accolade or spotlight, it's like the jealous

236
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: monster would start going through the locker room, right. And

237
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: I used to hear stories about certain players would google

238
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: themselves in between practices. You know, they loved the celebrity

239
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: of it. These guys. I don't get the sense with

240
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: some of these guys that the Kelvin Joseph who we

241
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen yet, who googles themselves. You know, looka Mia Parsons.

242
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is out there, but at least he's backing

243
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: up the play. Oh absolutely, but I feel themselves. Yeah,

244
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: But my point is these guys feel confident, not cocky

245
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: to me, And from day one, Dak has never played

246
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: favorites with guys in the locker room. I mean, I

247
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: think it's very evident him and Zeke's relationship, but it's

248
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: an inclusive relationship of others, and I think that's what

249
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: stands out to me about this group. And even last

250
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: year with that defense, the thing that I kept hearing

251
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: was how divided it was from like the free agents

252
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: and Jim Tom Sula Nolan's guys and the other guys.

253
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: These all feel like whether they're Dan Quinn's guys or

254
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: they were originally drafted here guys, they've all bought in together.

255
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: And I think that's the difference maker. They're being forced

256
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: a bought in or buy in. They're being forced because, yeah,

257
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: because they're getting young guys like Osa Diggi Zua who's

258
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: stepping up and playing well, Michael Parsons stepping up playing well,

259
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs stepping up and playing well. These are all

260
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: first and second year guys. It's kind of like to

261
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: anybody else, if if you don't want to get on

262
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: the train, it's going to keep moving. So there's enough

263
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: guys that Dan Quinn has brought in and then there's

264
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: enough young guys that I think dan Quinn has also

265
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: helped put in the right situations. That's built so much,

266
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: so much momentum that if you want to be a

267
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: me guy, or you want to be upset because someone

268
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: else is getting the spotlight, the train's going to pass

269
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: you by. So if you want to be on get

270
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: But these are selfless coaches too, right, because last year

271
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: we kept hearing how these guys tried to force scheme,

272
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: force guys to play out a position when something didn't work,

273
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: kept forcing it. This group tells you without you even

274
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: prompting them. What I love about dan Quinn is that

275
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: if something's not work working, we throw it out. It

276
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: feels very collaborative this year. And my favorite was Randy

277
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Gregory today talking about Jane's got notes. Yeah, he was,

278
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: it's not so much know's not so much knowing the place,

279
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: but it's understanding the why. And I think what frustrated

280
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: guys last year was they never understood the why. All right,

281
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: now hold that thought, because you're you're getting heavy into

282
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: where we're going next segment about get me being selfish,

283
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: selfless and stealing your talk kind of the collection idea

284
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: of all the good that's happening right now. Oh hey,

285
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: finally my headphones may be working. Maybe not um, but

286
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: staying with digs real quick, and then we're gonna break early.

287
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: I can get my headphones fixed and make sure my

288
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: pinky's not bleeding anymore, which we won't explain. Diggs is

289
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: chasing Tom Landry. I saw that he's chasing Tom Landry.

290
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: He's got five games in a row to start a

291
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: season with an interception, which is tied for the Cowboys record.

292
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: Don Bishop never heard that name before, Steve, Before you

293
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: go any further, I would just love to watch these

294
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: interceptions that Tom Landry had and run those videos right

295
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: next to Treyvon Diggs's interceptions, Like I always say, the

296
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: best thing for Wilt Chamberlain's one hundred points in one

297
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: game that there's no video of. Okay, it was, it

298
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: was nineteen fifty one. I don't think fifty one. I'd

299
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: love to see these passages. I don't think any of

300
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: us need to make fun of nineteen fifty one. But

301
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: by the way, two others hold the record. Barry will

302
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Burn never heard of him nineteen eighty seven and Brian

303
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Russell in Minnesota in two thousand and three, which I

304
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: don't remember remember him, but but they have done it

305
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: six interceptions in six games to start a season. I

306
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: think it's neat that Diggs is going after and that's all. No,

307
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: that's cool, man, that that is quite a stat But

308
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: what I love about Digs is he just and maybe

309
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, maybe I'm you know, I'm not being cynical

310
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: enough as a journalist, but I get the sense that

311
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: it's just that stuff doesn't matter to him so much

312
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: as just being really good at his craft, you know,

313
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: wanting to live up to promises he made to his

314
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: brother and his dad and you know, even to a son.

315
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what stands out about me is he

316
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: is such a likable person. The way the way he's

317
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: unlike some other shut down corners in the league who

318
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: jaw a lot and care about the accolades and the

319
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: he just goes to work and puts on his hard hat.

320
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Sean Lee eske that way, the approach, the vision we

321
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: got from from Hard Knocks of him and Aiden was

322
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the best thing about Hard Knocks, right, And it wasn't

323
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: very good. Let's be honest, that's terrible. Thing may have

324
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: jumped the shark. They need to consider that. But they're

325
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: adding an inc version. But oh yeah, yeah, but those

326
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: moments with Aiden was just gold. I mean that kid

327
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: is America's favorite kid. I think that's why the nation

328
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: may be a little caught up in Diggs. I think

329
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: that most of the nation is talking about Dak and

330
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Zeke and Mica and man, how good is Dak? Zeke

331
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: is back, and and Diggs is an afterthought a bit.

332
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: I think the energy may be a little higher in

333
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: the metroplex in North Texas than the nation about Diggs.

334
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: But I could be wrong. I think John's right. I

335
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: think that it creates a national buzz because this franchise

336
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: has so much history and when Dak has a big game,

337
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: people have visions of number eight. When it's when it's

338
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: Zeke going off, they have visions of twenty two, and

339
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: people were having visions of Dion doing Dion stuff back

340
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: in the day. I mean, that's what it's reminding people of.

341
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: And when he's wearing that jersey doing that, yeah, you

342
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: flash back to ninety five when Dion was doing all

343
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff here, that's what people, you know.

344
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: I kind of love to rap. And this is kind

345
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: of funny to me, is that, you know, a post

346
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: game at the podium, it's generally like it's always gonna

347
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: be Mike McCarthy and then Dak and then it's like

348
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: one other star player. Literally every single week the other

349
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: player has been traded on Diggs and you just think

350
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: about your just like, how often is somewhere along they

351
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: But I think what stands out about Diggs is how

352
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: transparent and vulnerable he is with information, you know, sharing

353
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: that he cried to his brother when Nick Saban asked

354
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: him to switch positions, and when all I said to

355
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: him the week before he even went into the press

356
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: conference room, I said, so what does Daddy say to

357
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: Aiden when he gets home? And then he offered up

358
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: the story, well, Aiden actually wanted me to get a

359
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: pick six, and you don't typically get that from guys.

360
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: And so when he shares those stories with you, and

361
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: you typically don't get that from guys, as they start

362
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: getting longer in the tooth and the league, they're you know,

363
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: very one word answers he shares with you, And I

364
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: think that's I always tell girlfriends. And this is not

365
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: to talk down to our female listeners. For my friends

366
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: are like, I just don't get football, or I hate

367
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: when my husband or boyfriend or significant other wants to

368
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: watch football, And I'm like, you need to tap into

369
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: the stories the guys underneath the helmet. That's why you watch,

370
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, these thirty for thirties and um, you know,

371
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: these real sports specials because you understand who these guys

372
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: are behind the helmets, and you start to cheer for

373
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: them or play fantasy football like my wife did. Now

374
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: she's a fanatic, but she throws things across the living room.

375
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: DA's a great example of exactly because everybody loved people

376
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: can relate to so much that's happened in Dak's life.

377
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: He's very vulnerable, you know. And that's another example about Candid.

378
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: He was after the game saying, like, I it was

379
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: in my head a little bit at the anniversary of

380
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: the injury, which you're right, Like, guys aren't always that

381
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: forthcoming and that vulnerable to the media. Yeah, they don't.

382
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: They don't want to, especially and I'll play a game

383
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: talking about the cart coming out and all that. Yeah, yeah,

384
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: and we should talk about this on a later show.

385
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of that has to do

386
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: with the mental conditioning that they go through these days

387
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: on Friday. And what's his name, Cody Code Chad Sure

388
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: has been doing a great job with that USA Today

389
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: writing up all that stuff. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah,

390
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a new thing I think in professional sports,

391
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: but very necessary. All right, let's take a break here.

392
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: I forgot to introduce Chris Beam, our fabulous producer at

393
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: the beginning of the show. Rookie, do me a favor

394
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: and come save me from my headphones as we take

395
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: this break. When we come back, Amari Cooper has gone

396
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: there the one place you do not go when the

397
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys get off to a hot start. Fans know it,

398
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: the media knows it. I don't know it. Big time

399
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: player doesn't know it. Let's talk about that mash it

400
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: up next, Honey, Big News Gary? Are you okay? Oh?

401
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm not Gary anymore. I'm Jackie Flash. What see? I

402
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: want the latest smartphone, but the best deals are only

403
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: for new customers. So to get a new customer deal,

00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,600

411
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: You deserve decadent flavor without sugar, and a day at

412
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: the beach without sam getting everywhere, and a relaxing bath

413
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: that your children don't interrupt. I deserve all that. It's

414
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: it's a visual metaphor for doctor Pepper zero sugar. Everything

415
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: you want, nothing you don't. A visual metaphor on the radio.

416
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I do deserve that, Doctor Pepper, zero sugar, the zero

417
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: you deserve is finally here. Before there was a draft,

418
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: you could size up a cowboy by three simple factors,

419
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: the crease in his hat, the bend of his brim,

420
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 1: and his unbending attitude a man. Stetson didn't just protect

421
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: him from what life through at him. It projected a rugged,

422
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: unstoppable spirit. Stetson hats are still American made with pride.

423
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: Right here in Texas. There's still the unofficial crown of

424

435
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of that whenever it has come up.

436
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: So far in the twenty twenty one season, headphones are back.

437
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: I can hear you guys now that I'm sure you

438
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: guys are great that segment, but I could barely hear you.

439
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: And I think the bleeding is finally stopped. On my pinky.

440
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: I came in here and cleaned up from a shout

441
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: and Rob, I want you guys to have a nice

442
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: studio and just appreciate it. Now there's blood everywhere. He's

443
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: the guy that just literally pulls himself out of the

444
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: game every time he gets a ding. Well, I stayed

445
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: in the game. You know, I almost passed out because

446
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: of how much blood I've lost. I think it stopped.

447
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Zeke landed on a on a pylon this weekend, and

448
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be in a hot tub until he

449
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: gets New England like a prune. He's playing hurt, right,

450
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: you know what. But let's talk about some drama with

451
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Zeke though. Now he was in some pain, yeah, and

452
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: then what thirty thirty seconds later he's back on the

453
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: field and high stepping into the end zone. Well, that's

454
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: because he's popped through it. That's good drama. You're over

455
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: here in the blue medical tent. When I take this

456
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: band aid off, I hope the tip to my pinkie

457
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: is there. That's really all I hope. But anyway, all right,

458
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: let's move on to topic number two. Can't get Yeah,

459
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: Rob ran upstairs to get a band aid for me,

460
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: and then and then you showed up and you had

461
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: a whole box of him. I've never seen a paper

462
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: cut caused so much commotion. It's not a paper cut.

463
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: It's the line of this in the studio right here.

464
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Be careful when you like, this is really sharp right here,

465
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: I'm glad it was my pa. See, I got to

466
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: play in a golf tournament this weekend. That's what he Actually,

467
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a problem. Nice Just do the elicit

468
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: the baseball that I do works just fine. See all right,

469
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: let's hear this. Let's all hear this. Everybody loves Zamari

470
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: Cooper around here. I think very cerebral player. He's very

471
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: careful with his thoughts. He's smarter than me. I guarantee that.

472
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: Here is his comment after the game. And see if

473
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: you can hear a couple of words that we all

474
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: know you don't speak in Dallas these days. It's not

475
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: about the opponent we plan. It's it's it's about like

476
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: our standard. It's about like us being the best we

477
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: could possibly be. UM, because you know, our mindset is

478
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: on a championship. UM. To be a championship you one

479
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: between Like, as an offense, our goal should be to

480
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: score every drop, we score every drive. How can you lose?

481
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: You know? And so when we fall short of that, UM,

482
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: that's when I kind of get like worried a little bit,

483
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're on a role like this,

484
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: it's just, uh, you start thinking about a super Bowl,

485
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean that that's that's just the reality

486
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: of it. And um, you start to want it more

487
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: and more and more and more the closer you get,

488
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, and you should start to worry about the

489
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: little things more like, Um, if we get stopped this drive,

490
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: I think, what if that happens, you know, later and

491
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: see that. That's just how I'll be looking at it.

492
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: But we just gotta we just gotta play a little

493
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: bit cleaner. And I think we could. That's the only

494
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: reason I'm talking like this because I really think we could.

495
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: There it is, Zamari Cooper says, Hey, I don't know

496
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: about you guys, but I'm thinking about a super Bowl.

497
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: They're five games in. Stop the drama. Five games, Stop

498
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: the drama. What was wrong with what he said? There?

499
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: Nothing except he said he's thinking about a super Bowl?

500
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: And don't you want your guys thinking about Bowl? Well,

501
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean coach McCarthy made that in the preseason. What

502
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: that's always the mission of coaches and players. But when

503
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: you start four and one with a four game winning streak, you,

504
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want, especially in Dallas, if

505
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: you want your players talking about a super Bowl. I mean,

506
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: does anybody else see any bad in No, absolutely not.

507
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: First of all, you can buy in, like you don't

508
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: have to be scared of it. Don't be scared of it.

509
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Embrace it. He didn't say we're going to win it.

510
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: He said he's thinking about it. And Michael Parson said

511
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: today that they're climbing a mountain and the Super Bowl

512
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: is at the top of Mount Everest, and so he's

513
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: throwing it out there too. That's what they're talking. They should,

514
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: I mean embrace it. To me personally, this is the

515
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: best team they've had since fourteen and sixteen, and it's

516
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: different than those teams in fourteen you had you had it, Yeah,

517
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: you had Romo and a veteran bunch, but then you

518
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: also had a defense that was led by you know

519
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: nothing against these guys but Orlando Scandrick and Jeremy's Yeah,

520
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: Jeremy Mincy and Rolando McLean and Barry Church and those guys.

521
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: This defense is better than that Dese twenty sixteen. I mean,

522
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: Dak and Zeke were just puppies at that time. Like

523
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: these guys have put in the work to where you

524
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: should have expectations. Don't be scared of it. Well, there's

525
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: no question, real quick. And here's why I don't have

526
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: a point with the maris saying that last year everyone

527
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: laughed at and when he said, as a receiver group,

528
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: we could go off for three thousand total yards with

529
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: four different quarterbacks. The damn year got close. Yeah, but

530
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: nobody cares about that. He's talking about a super Bowl.

531
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: My point is what I love about Amory's He's always

532
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: measured in his temperament, his responses, his thoughtfulness to all right,

533
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: he makes me step let me set something. Point is

534
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: he wouldn't say that if he truly wasn't seeing something different.

535
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's fine. All I'm saying is if there's

536
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: one place in America that has learned this lesson over

537
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: and over again, it's why they all hate Stephen A.

538
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: Smith on ESPN because he continues to bring it up.

539
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Most of the media in this town have learned, Jerry

540
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: has learned. Most of the fans will not bring it up.

541
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just talk about it real quick. Oh

542
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: seven was the last time. For example, Right now, this

543
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: team has scored one hundred and seventy points. That's the

544
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: most after five games since OH seven. That was the

545
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: thirteen and three team that had a first round by

546
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: That team started five and one and then got beat

547
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: in the playoff game at home. Oh eight. They started

548
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: four and one and collapsed miserably. Whole nine, I mean

549
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and whole nine. Boy got my head on

550
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: the tournament. This weekend. Two thousand and nine, they started

551
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: six and two and got a playoff win. Two thousand

552
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: and fourteen, they started six and one, they got a

553
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: playoff win. Two thousand and sixteen, they started ten and

554
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: one with Dak and Zeke and didn't get a playoff win.

555
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: It These fast starts are not new around here, but

556
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: you don't start would I would urge all fans to

557
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: not fast forward, to enjoy each week as it comes,

558
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: and the last thing, the expectations should not shoot through

559
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: the moon. Can you do both? Well? The players can,

560
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: but it's very unusual for them to say it, which

561
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: is why to me didn't it's unusual. But here's here's

562
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: what I respect about the guys this year. Though we're

563
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: talking about the mental coach. They are very focused on

564
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: it seems like handling success, handling it versing. If you

565
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: think about these groups, especially going back to Dak and

566
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: Zeke suspensions, the ankle injury, the suicide of his you know,

567
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: his father, Michael Gallup, losing his brother to suicide. This

568
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: group has been through a lot, losing their strength and

569
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: conditioning coach last year in the locker room, you know,

570
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: going through a new like they've been through it, and

571
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: I I think that they're used to adversity. But they're

572
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: approaching this season, in my opinion, the right way. And

573
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: again I keep going, well, I don't want to get

574
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: too ahead of ourselves either, but I just don't have

575
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: a problem with the confidence, not the cockiness of this

576
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: group this year. It doesn't bother me either because he

577
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 1: put it. It's the context he put it in right.

578
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: His context was he even said, if we make the

579
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: mistakes we made today against better teams, we're gonna be

580
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: in trouble. And it goes back to what Jane said

581
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: about there they're chasing improvement, perfection, all that stuff, saying

582
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: that basically we're not there yet. So I don't the

583
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: way he said it, I don't have a problem with

584
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: it at all. And because look, they are one of

585
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: the teams right now that you look at and say

586
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: they have a chance, And I think that's all he's

587
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: saying that that's their expectation that they got a shot.

588
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: And I think also you mentioned Jerry. I think Jerry

589
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: not every year we try to get Jerry to say

590
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: it camp, and he won't say it because he knows

591
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: it's about ten years now. He knows it will explode

592
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: if he's and so he backs away from that. And

593
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: so when we hear anybody else on the team say it,

594
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: but it is better when it comes from the team

595
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: and not from Jerry, right because but wait a minute, Yeah,

596
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: what I would say about the team is Amari Cooper

597
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: has no idea of the history around here. He shouldn't,

598
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: he shouldn't care at all. But I disagree with that.

599
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: That guy is a savanna football. He gets it. He does.

600
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: He sees the Lombardi trophies in the ring and as

601
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: he's been reminded that they haven't sniffed an NFC championship years. Well,

602
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: my point is I think he respects it enough and

603
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: he's seeing enough that he's saying we are thinking about

604
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: it because of the way we're playing. Like this guy

605
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: played at Alabama. It's not like he was at some

606
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: school that didn't know what success or a run look like.

607
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: True but yeah, there's an expectation, right. He knows, he

608
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: knows what a winning culture and a winning group looks like.

609
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: And all he's saying is, maybe we have the right

610
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: ingredients to But to your point, if you put it

611
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: in the oven and you underbake it or you miss

612
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: out an ingredient, you're not going to get what you

613
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: just saw him pinterest. He's just saying we have the

614
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: ingredients here. Really his point, Yeah, his point it was

615
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: if we turned the ball over twice in the first

616
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: three drives and come up with three points in the

617
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: first three drives against Green Bay. He didn't say these

618
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: teams Tampa Bay Las Yep, it's a different story. That's

619
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: what I took from it, all right, But you're right,

620
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: toss anytime you toss out that term, it's just too painful.

621
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: People are gonna you know, all of you out there

622
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: in Cowboys Nation, you have been through the pain. It is.

623
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: It's too painful to just after four wins, to flippantly,

624
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: not flippantly, but he did, I'm thinking about a super Bowl.

625
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: It is. It's not painful to apathy these days, a

626
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: lot of fans have apathy. The Campo years was apathetic

627
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will never have apathy they did in the

628
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: Campo years. And that's why he went and got Bill

629
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: Parcels to because a lot of people had high expectations

630
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: for this team with a brand new coach last year,

631
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: and then it all went to hell in a hand.

632
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: All right, here's a quote from McCarthy from Monday. And

633
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about coach McCarthy in our next

634
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: topic because that's becoming very interesting. But his quote was

635
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: quote comparables, hypotheticals. I know it's newsworthy, but until you

636
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: get the ten wins, it's all a waste of time.

637
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: See that is exactly right. This team has got to

638
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: get down the road when when Now what the point

639
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I made last week was there was twelve teams three

640
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: and one. There's now seven teams four and one and one,

641
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: five and zero. It's just way too early. It's another

642
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: four game winning street. They've had oodles of those. They've

643
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: only had two playoff wins in twenty five years. So

644
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: my whole point is, and I'm not it's okay for

645
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: Amri to do it. I don't think it's okay for

646
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: fans to soak it up. They've been didn't He didn't

647
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: guarantee a super Bowl. He didn't say we're gunning it.

648
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: But he's talking about I can see us go bow.

649
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Should not be the expectation of every team ever. First,

650
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: and Mike conson, but if they say it in Jacksonville,

651
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: how's that going over? Well, first of all, this isn't Jacksonville.

652
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: Second of all, these guys aren't idiots. They know not

653
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: only their team, but they know the landscape of the

654
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: rest of the league. And he can sit there and

655
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: say and and and is exact quote about the ten

656
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: wins is that's what he's typically gone through in his

657
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: time as a coach. That they don't start talking about

658
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: until they get to ten wins. That's fine. Tell your

659
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: team that, Tell your coaches that on the outside, we're

660
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: not idiots. They play in the NFC East. It's a

661
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: trash bag. They're going to the playoffs. The way that

662
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: the league is set up, if you win your division,

663
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: you go to the playoffs. They're winning this division. There's

664
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: no competition, and they don't even need to get a

665
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: ten soon. You start looking now, right, But I believe

666
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: now more than ever, the landscape is set up for

667
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: them to do and they're a little bit more battled

668
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: tested if you look at the rest of the league.

669
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying is why worry about it now? Worry about

670
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: it in two months? Why why have you come out

671
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: but seven bits of highly effective people who think with

672
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: the end in money. You're using the word worry. Why

673
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: Why does it have to be a worry? Why does

674
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: that have to be a negative? It can be a

675
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: posit negative. I think that all Cowboys fans across the world,

676
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: oh God heard that and shuddered just a little and

677
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: they chill and they should Why why Dad's one of

678
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: them would say, okayll me tell me this. What is

679
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: there to be scared of right now? What is there?

680
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: What is there the Packers, like, I know everyone here

681
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: gets scared about them because of Aaron Rodgers, Like their

682
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: defense is terrible. Let me try. I hear you, John,

683
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: but let me try to explain it this way. Um,

684
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: we all have college allegiances. You're going through a tough

685
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: time right now. Yea, though I'm talking about being apathetic.

686
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: You've given up on them. Uh. But but the point

687
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: is you you hate it when the rest of the

688
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: country knows the truth about you. You hate it when

689
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: oh man we're good, we're good, and then you don't

690
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: do anything with that, over and over and over again.

691
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but the cowboy was of that team. In

692
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, they're right there with Detroit and who else.

693
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: Last time they've been to an Arizona, No Arizona, Washington.

694
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: So my whole point is, it's fine, it's we love

695
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: talking about it. I just think it's a bit of

696
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: a bugaboo in Dallas for the media and fans five

697
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: games into the season to fast forward to the Super Bowl,

698
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: because you know what stands out to me, they're finally

699
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: doing things a little different. You know, the definition of

700
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: insanity is banging your head in the wall, doing the

701
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: same thing over and over and expecting the same results.

702
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: I finally feel well, they finally made a change at quarterback,

703
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean at head coach. When they went out and

704
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: got Mike mccarthiodskins on the wall. They went and got

705
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: you a defensive coordinator who'd been to a Super Bowl.

706
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: They went and started getting best players available as opposed

707
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: to players that fit their scheme. They decided to make

708
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,479
Speaker 1: a move mid season with a guy that was kind

709
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: of a friend of a lot of players in that

710
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: locker room and moved on from him. They would never

711
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: have done that in the past when they moved on

712
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: from Tony Romo, I never thought that happened, or does

713
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: Bryant for that matter, didn't even go to and say

714
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: take a pay cut. So they're making decisions that I

715
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: didn't see them make in years before. Yeah, but it

716
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: says to me that the cut DeMarcus ware well and

717
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: even what listen, even when they say that they've got

718
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: guys self scouting now, like all these guys like Randy

719
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: Gregory say why self scout? But to have that as

720
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: a homework assignment for even Zeke, Like, what are some

721
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: of the things that you're doing that in years past,

722
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: We're like, well, that offense is so predictable. They're trying

723
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to be less predictable. So to me,

724
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: they're doing things differently. So I don't think we should

725
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: hold them to the same standards of teams and expectations

726
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: we've had in the past, because we're actually seeing some

727
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: change here. See, I actually love Amari Saine and I'm

728
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: just I'm just I'm just giving the point of view.

729
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: I think. So you're all in favor, in favor in favor.

730
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm just giving the other point of view where some

731
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: people are going, oh, really, how do you so stephen

732
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: A has another chance to go on TV? Why we

733
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: don't even care? They don't care like they do care.

734
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: He didn't hurt anything, hurt WWE wrestling. It's all scripted.

735
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't set he said, he said, he set expectations,

736
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: but he didn't make promises. There's a difference. And also,

737
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: I think i'd have an issue with it, Steve if

738
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: covering this team, and there's certainly been plenty of teams

739
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys a fad that we've known where guys

740
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 1: might not say super Bowl, but they'll talk about maybe

741
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: winning or what they are and you just are kind

742
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: of like, oh, guys, come on, we know that this

743
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: isn't the team. We know, they know they're good. They

744
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: know they're good. Are you saying the fans like it

745
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: or don't like it? I think I think there was

746
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: a little shutter. I think I think they went even

747
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Wait a minute, I don't either. I

748
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: don't like you're on Twitter more than anybody like. I

749
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: haven't seen a big buzz about it. You know, I

750
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: don't think there's a buzz about. I do think there

751
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: are fans that are Did you come off the golf

752
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: course with this topic? How much did you have to

753
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: drink today? No? I did not play today. Did you

754
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: notice it was a day? I don't play on Wednesdays.

755
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,959
Speaker 1: I think fans are afraid of a jinx. I really

756
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: I think at this point they are, especially after last year.

757
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: I think I know. But if no, but he didn't.

758
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: But if there is a reaction to it, maybe it's that.

759
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: But I don't Again, I don't see any problem with it,

760
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: honestly because of the context. Well, I'll just give you

761
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: a couple of examples. Have you heard have you heard

762
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: anybody with Tampa Bay talking about the Super Bowl right now?

763
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: They just won one? Have you heard anybody from their

764
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: place talking about a Super Bowl? Have you heard anybody

765
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona who's five and oh, has Kyler Murray or

766
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: any player there brought up Super Bowl? Different? Change your

767
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: uniforms and put them in Cowoys uniforms and you'd hear

768
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot more of that time. I don't know anything

769
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: that is anybody saying Tay saying it, And maybe you

770
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: don't think when he called up Antonio Brown and Gronk

771
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: was like, we're going to win a super Bowl together.

772
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: You think he was just like, let's just go play,

773
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: let's go have fun in Tampa Bay. Oh. I think

774
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: I think that's Brady's mentality. Hey, let's just go a

775
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: week at a time. He says you're going to win

776
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. I'm not sure he would not. He

777
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: would not step out one game out there anymore at

778
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: his age if he wasn't trying to still win Super Bowl. Yea,

779
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: I understand what he's trying to do. I don't think

780
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: when Brady got to Tampa he mentioned the super Bowl

781
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: before the season. I think publicly maybe not behind the scenes.

782
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: Now I did. I told Kalishaw he was going to

783
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: win the band. If anybody could talk about it, it's

784
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: him to have the cloud to do it. It's him.

785
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: But but John's right like, you don't you won't hear

786
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: about it if if but we didn't hear about this

787
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: nationally either because of the way he said it. If

788
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: he came out and said this team's going the super Bowl,

789
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: it would have been splashed on true. So that's again,

790
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: he just literally talked about they've got the makings of

791
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: a team that could Tom. I agree with it. It's

792
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: way too early for that way. It is way too

793
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: and that's what coach McCarthy, who we're going to talk

794
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: about next. I love the exchange with Archer on Monday,

795
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: by the way, where Archer ask him if he looks

796
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: ahead to pitfalls or is he like whoa right and

797
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: high right now? And he answered it really awkward. You

798
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: guys all heard it, and he said, I was waiting

799
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: for the joke. What do you Yeah, that's my job.

800
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: I look for the pitfalls. I'm already looking to the

801
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: bye week. He's not thinking super Bowl. Although yeah, that

802
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: was his message to the team to start the season.

803
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: He didn't take this job to China's kind of We're

804
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: gonna coach him up. And I hope the kids play

805
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: hard back after last year and all the headaches with

806
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: this job. I mean, Bill Parcels didn't last very long

807
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: in Dallas. It's what they all want. Dak wants it.

808
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: Dak talks about championships like McCarthy the very first episode

809
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: last year too. The only point I'm making is when

810
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: you win four games in a row and you got

811
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: a little something going, you don't jump from that to

812
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: whoa we're gonna be awesome in February. Well, I think

813
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: you just kind of keep letting it happen and go

814
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: week to week and and as McCarthy says, you get

815
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: to ten, you get late in the season, then you

816
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: start going, oh, man, who's gonna beat him? The reason

817
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: wasn't it easy for us to identify Dak as being

818
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: very special early on when people are like, well, let's

819
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: not get too high on Dak. Dak has proved a

820
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: lot of people. Well, he went through some highs and lows.

821
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that. I mean from his rookie year

822
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: to whenever you want to I mean, he wasn't his

823
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: rookie year. He was managed very well by the coaching

824
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: staff and perform, but to come back from that injury

825
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: last year and to be playing the way that he does,

826
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: my point is, My point is is these guys really

827
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: believe in and I think some of it goes to

828
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: the mental coach, but some of these guys are just

829
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: this way, and I appreciate it because I'm the same.

830
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: You have to manifest success. What comes out of your

831
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 1: mouth comes into your life, and I believe that those

832
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: guys really subscribe to that. So what's wrong with believing

833
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: that I hear you back to the golf course never

834
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: works for Sebaddy didn't whisper it in the locker rail

835
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: to Batty said it on a hot mic, because they're

836
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: crucifying an other reason. He'll say something like, I just

837
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: know there is a mentality out there, oh too soon,

838
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: too soon, But but there's not too so you you've

839
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: been You've covered Cowboys teams as you referenced, in the

840
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: past twenty years that I'm reading between the lines. There's

841
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: some cockiness there at times when they would they would

842
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 1: always get carried away. Absolutely, you'll always get carried away

843
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: with with winning streaks. See, I'm with starts, I would

844
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: with Jane, though I don't. I don't sense cockiness with

845
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: this team. This team knows it's good and they also

846
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: know they haven't played their best ball and they can't wait.

847
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: They know they have a lot of work to do.

848
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: And you're right, they're not afraid of anything, which is

849
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,440

00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: to just doing this. I can tell you right now

913
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: when they're winning and there's that energy social media, just

914
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: when you see people and just people are talking about

915
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: all the time. Trade it for anything. I love it.

916
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: I know it's funny. I actually got an opportunity to

917
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: go cover Florida this offseason before I came back to

918
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: Dallas this year, just to switch it up the Florida

919
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: data No no for the NFL. I was off Florida

920
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: teams moving to Florida, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville. I had to

921
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: be tough for you to turn down all that. You know.

922
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: I love Miami. I tried to get to Miami for years,

923
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: but I'm from here. I grew up obviously in the raw.

924
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: When the Dallas Cowboys were winning all the Super Bowls,

925
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: I went to the parades. I watched Sunday's Fox with

926
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: my dad. It's how I got into this business. And

927
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm with on. I mean, I was a former news reporter,

928
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: as you know, and I get as much news around

929
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: here as I ever got covering the local beat. And

930
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: because I get to cover other teams, I tell everybody

931
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: it's just different and the only show that really kind

932
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: of drove that home for me wasn't Hard Knocks. But

933
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: if you watch All or Nothing, that to me gave

934
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: you a bigger sense of this team. I always tell

935
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: people go watch that because that really got you. But

936
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: you almost For me, at least, growing up here and

937
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: having so many friends and family that are Cowboys fans,

938
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: it feels like a responsibility, not just a job to

939
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: always be on it. I don't feel like I owe them.

940
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: Well this one hare left it and came back. Yeah,

941
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: I got bored with a real job. Yeah, I didn't

942
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: like the nine to five stuff. And now I do

943
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: have a family, and it is you know, that's a

944
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: hard it's a hard thing to cover. But like in

945
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: our job, I mean, I'm in house, but our job

946
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: is to be objective and you guys are too, and

947
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: but it is it's more fun to cover a good team.

948
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: And last year, last year was tear. I mean, the

949
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: restrictions and just the way life was on top of

950
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: a team that was bad, you know, and largely because

951
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. This is just more fun. Well,

952
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, I want to make this comment

953
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: to all the fans out there, and some of you,

954
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. Most of you love Jerry Jones, I assume,

955
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: but some of you I've heard some that aren't quite

956
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: so loving toward him. The thing about the Dallas Cowboys

957
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: and Jerry makes sure of it, everything matters. It just matters.

958
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: And when Jerry is no longer, you know, I hope

959
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: it's thirty more years. I mean, you have no idea

960
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: how much you're gonna miss that man as the owner

961
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. It it is the big room,

962
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: as Bill Parcel said when he came here, and there's

963
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: nothing else like it. You know. I had to cover

964
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: the Rangers and the Mavericks and the Stars and everything

965
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: else in my job. But when the Cowboys season ended,

966
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: I was so empty for a month. I told Jane,

967
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: I've told Jane before, we've had this conversation that if

968
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: I went and took a job and another or beat

969
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: with the athletic Let's say I was like, I really

970
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: wanted to live in California, whatever, and I left and

971
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys won a Super Bowl, I'd have the worst

972
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: fall mowever. Oh, I still on my tombstone. Jane Slater's

973
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: biggest regret in life will be not being able to

974
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: go to Jerry Jones Hall of Fame party. I was

975
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: so mad at my network for not allowing me that assignment.

976
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:29,479
Speaker 1: But it's the energy. It's Jerry's energy, to your point,

977
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about that when he got really

978
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: choked up at Cowboys training camp. And I don't want

979
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: to get choked up to people like, oh, she's so

980
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: emotional and an objective. I got choked up watching it.

981
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: But it's not fake, and that's why I try to

982
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: explain it. My grandmother was a big Cowboys fan and

983
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: one of Jerry's biggest critics. I mean, if the weather

984
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: was bad, it was Jerry's fault. And what I tell

985
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: people is this guy really could be doing anything at

986
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: this point in his life, and he chooses to be here.

987
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: And what always stands out to me about Jerry is unprompted,

988
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: he will come up to you and connect in a

989
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: way that a lot of people don't connect. And I'm

990
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: always fascinating, not like I expect him to be losing

991
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: his facility at a certain age or his faculties, but

992
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: he's just so with it and he cares so much

993
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: about this, and he can go down and give you

994
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: very detailed reports about the personnel that I'm telling you

995
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: covering other teams, other owners can don't have a clue.

996
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's make the segue to the greatness of

997
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. How that segue go? We've wondered. McCarthy's new

998
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: on the scene. Last year was so funky and so bad,

999
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: and Covid had a heavy hand in it. He's trying

1000
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: to get his footing as head coach of the Cowboys

1001
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: in this four and one start, in the four game

1002
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: winning streak, and how good this team looks. It's gonna

1003
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: be hard for him because the offensive coordinator is awesome.

1004
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about him no matter where you go. Oh,

1005
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: that kid is the best play caller. Blah blah blah.

1006
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn takes that mess from last year, flips what

1007
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: forty I think forty three new players? No, I think

1008
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: that since Garrett left forty three, they've switched. They switched

1009
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: out the roster, especially defensively, and dan Quinn is working

1010
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: magic with it. So where does that leave McCarthy. And

1011
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: we were going to discuss it last week two weeks

1012
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: ago is when you were on Jane and and you

1013
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: quite honestly just said, you know, with these coordinators, dude,

1014
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm sometimes I wonder what McCarthy does. And it was

1015
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: a great question because he's a walk around head coach

1016
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 1: who's won a Super Bowl. He doesn't call the plays anymore.

1017
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: He's the one that wanted Kellen to continue that, which

1018
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: we learned for sure this week. Didn't we somewhere where

1019
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: that came out that he's he's the one that told Jerry, no,

1020
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: let's let's let Kellen keep that relationship with Dak when

1021
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: he took the play when he took the job. He

1022
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: oh did he say that? Yeah? Okay, Um, I missed that.

1023
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: I think I thought it was kind of mister. Maybe

1024
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't even hear it he said it. But um,

1025
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw this out real quick and then

1026
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna discuss. I think there's two fronts where what

1027
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: does McCarthy do? Um? And and why? And and I

1028
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: hear it everywhere I go. People don't want to give

1029
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: him credit. They say things like, boy, the only thing

1030
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna hold this team back is the head coach.

1031
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: Because of a couple of decisions in the first five games. Uh,

1032
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: you guys have probably heard all that too. Um, I

1033
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: think that, and you said that. Some questions have been

1034
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: asked here lately, Um, real quick, and then I want

1035
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: to hear from you guys. I love dan Quinn's quote

1036
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: on Monday when he said one of McCarthy's superpowers did

1037
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: we know McCarthy had superpowers? Dan quinn said, quote, one

1038
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: of McCarthy's superpowers, he doesn't ride the wave. He keeps

1039
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: it consistent and it's always about winning football. He called

1040
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: him a rock solid, straightforward leader. Jerry on the radio

1041
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: this week talked about his details. See this is a

1042
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: credit to McCarthy. In my opinion, he doesn't blow his

1043
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,720
Speaker 1: own horn. He's won a Super Bowl. I don't think

1044
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: he's bothered by all the attention Kell and Quinner getting

1045
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: because they're his coordinators. And the other thing are the turnovers.

1046
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: And it's in the paper today, which is amazing. Only

1047
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll have been better since the

1048
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: last fifty two seasons in turnover margin. His fifteen years,

1049
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: he's plus one oh seven. And we're wondering where all

1050
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: these turnovers are coming from. You wrote about it and

1051
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: you're three and out today yesterday. Some of that is

1052
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: because you, you know, he and I wrote about it.

1053
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: He has. He had an elite quarterback, two elite quarterbacks

1054
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: that didn't turn it over much, but they forced a

1055
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers in Green Bay. It's a mentality. And

1056
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: he's had two defensive coordinators here in the last two

1057
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: years and they're still able to get it. Weren't They

1058
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: weren't forcing takeaways until he got here. I mean, over

1059
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: and over again, we kept talking about it. It's a

1060
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: play style that he's he's what you wrote was nine

1061
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: straight games with a turnover, which is the longest streak

1062
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're averaging two point seven a game

1063
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: since then. Um, and that goes back to last year

1064
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: and when he was the head coach and Quinn wasn't

1065
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: even here. But I think I think the details are

1066
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: more interesting to me than the turnovers. But there's two

1067
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: things that he's doing, Jane, two things. What do you say,

1068
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you the two things that he's doing.

1069
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, those are two things at the table, as

1070
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: Steve Hascarthy what I would say, and I've cushioned this

1071
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: even in my uh conversation to the players. Last year,

1072
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: there was a feeling in the locker room that he

1073
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: that he wasn't around or is available as much, And

1074
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: one could argue there was a lot of stuff on

1075
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: his plate. He had just moved here from Green Bay,

1076
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: barely got to meet his players because of COVID. It

1077
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: was my understanding, you know, there were some issues with

1078
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: like internet at his house as he was trying to

1079
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: get this done, and you're trying to zoom with these

1080
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,720
Speaker 1: players and connect and it's hard to I think, form

1081
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: those bonds with guys. And then you see him writing

1082
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: so hard for two defensive coaches that were so bad,

1083
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: and then you brought in some free agents that didn't

1084
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: gel with the locker room. In other words, did you

1085
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: really know your personnel well enough to bring in certain

1086
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: people into the group. So I asked the players what

1087
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: are we missing this year? Like what do we not

1088
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: know about him? Because I mean to be fair, other

1089
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: than seeing him at Combine and a couple of exchanges,

1090
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know Mike McCarthy that well. So I just

1091
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: don't know what he does. But I think when the

1092
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: players bring out the fact that how engaged he is,

1093
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: how he believes in them, I don't feel like he

1094
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: ever throws his players under the bus. He does seem

1095
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: like he's really defensive of some of those guys. I

1096
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 1: can only go off of what we're seeing, and he's

1097
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: obviously done enough in year two that you've got a

1098
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: locker room that's buying in so much now you could argue,

1099
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: are they doing that in spite of him? Because Dak

1100
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: is back and maybe you haven't you're having more success.

1101
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, Michelle, you got a minute go.

1102
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: I agree with a lot of what Jane said there.

1103
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: I also think that he does deserve credit for keeping

1104
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: it even keel, like dan Quinn said, and that's great

1105
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: right now because things are going well. The issues you

1106
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: run into is does he also Is that also why

1107
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: it was such an issue last year or is that

1108
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: why they because he needed a step in and do something,

1109
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: do a little bit more and didn't so well. He

1110
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: gets critiqued for that when it's going well. He deserves

1111
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: credit for when it's going well because he is the

1112
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: guy at the end of the day that is leading

1113
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: this team. And there's something to be said for somebody

1114
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: that isn't kind of like, I need the credit. I

1115
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: need to be the one that everyone he seems to

1116
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: be cool with. Hey, if you want to credit, Dan Quinn,

1117
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: you want credit, Kellen Dak, That's fine, roll with it.

1118
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: I've been through this before. I know how to guide

1119
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: this ship. Believe me. You don't have to believe in me.

1120
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't need to sell to you. I'm just going

1121
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: to do it with my actually, and that may be

1122
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: what's different about this team and what amar he's talking about.

1123
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips didn't have it, didn't have it as a leader,

1124
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, make whatever opinion you want. McCarthy's proven that

1125
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: he's had it, and that makes a huge difference. We

1126
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: gotta go. I love these two messages. His message this

1127
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: week to the team. We're not short of production, but

1128
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: our efficiency needs to be better. I love that he's

1129
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: got his nose to the grindstone. The other one, I

1130
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: love where we are, but I'm more excited about where

1131
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: we can go. Proper attitude. I think McCarthy deserves from credit.

1132
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: All right, I'm giving it to him. Thanks for letting

1133
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: me talk cowboys with you, guys, the pinky, the headphones.

1134
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: I'll be better tomorrow. Okay, okay, I'll be better tomorrow.

1135
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: I apologize for that. Slater Jane is back with us.

1136
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:52,240
