Your personal training? It? What exactly 42 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of both because I all trained, like 43 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: last year, I trained some of the Cowboys guys, some 44 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: of the Denver guys and a lot of athletes that 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: come in there as all private and eventually doing a 46 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: gym over there in a trophy club area so I 47 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,279 Speaker 1: can really affect the masses. And been doing that and 48 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: and just creating programs ms with the NFL guys, the methodology, 49 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: why it works, how you've been having no corrective exercises, 50 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: recovery programs and been going from there, and it's it's 51 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: been amazing. It's been amazing. You look like you could 52 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: still strap it up as that crossed your mind at all. Listen, 53 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: my arms are ripping through my shirt, but I can't. 54 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. But um, going back, it's I played 55 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: lights out, Yeah, you know, I played lights out of 56 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: my whole career. My body can't hold up anymore with 57 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: those big boys, I can't do it. But um, I 58 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: enjoy training them and uh showing them how to be 59 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: a champion, and that's what I really enjoy doing. How 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: do you like this is this is a dumb question 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: to ask a football player, but like, how do you 62 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: how does it compare? You know, you've been retired for 63 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: a little bit now, like just you're the way you 64 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: feel on a on a Wednesday night as opposed to 65 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: when you used to be. My god, think about going, 66 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean preparing six days on a Wednesday, you have 67 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: the run runs. Thursday, you got the pass fresh reels, 68 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and you bring it all together on Friday and Sunday, 69 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god, they're not hurt. Everybody's 70 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: hurt a football. It's a pain you can deal with 71 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: while you're out there. And then on Monday, literally guys 72 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: cannot walk. That's like the recovery day where we would 73 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: go in and from hot tub, cold tub, acupuncture, massage, 74 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: you name it, roughing it. They we did everything. And 75 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: uh usually guys spend about one hundred thousand dollars a 76 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: year on their bodies, and people don't realize that just 77 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: to keep going every single Sunday every year, right, Um, 78 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: let me, your body's an investment, it's a it's a business. 79 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: But then on Tuesday it's back. It's only one day off, right, 80 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: and that's your recovery day again. So so when you 81 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: play like it's Wednesday night, you're most of the way 82 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: toward the next weekend getting there. I know it's the 83 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: first day of practice, but how would you know if 84 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: this if this was a game week for you, how 85 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: would you feel around now, you know what I mean, 86 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: like on a Wednesday night. On Wednesday night, um, I 87 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: would be probably at my sourst because you just this 88 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: is a padded day. Yeah, like Wednesdays or the padded 89 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: day where you're doing a lot of the brute stuff 90 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: in the trenches, where you're doing a lot of the 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: run play. So this is one of the worst days. 92 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: And as you tailor to tailor it down from Thursday Friday, 93 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: that's when you start feeling like, Okay, I'm ready for Sundays. 94 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: It always, it always every week. It always amazing. Ma's 95 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: me in the off season, how many guys have some 96 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: type of surgery and most of them you never even 97 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: hear about. And the guys never bring it up. They 98 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: never complain, you know, the major ones you hear about. 99 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: But it's almost like most of the team gets some 100 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: kind of work done in the off season. Yeah, and 101 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: in the off season, a lot of the guys they 102 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: get you know, knees cooked, ankles cold. I mean, some 103 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: guys get risk broken. But you really don't hear about 104 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: it because they just go out there and they just 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: take them up, and that's the weirdest thing to you. Okay, 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: well you can't really use your arm, but the fans 107 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: are like, what's wrong with him? Well, he broke three 108 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: of his metal tarsos and his finger, and uh, you 109 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: probably didn't hear about the surgery. But he's rehabbing just 110 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: to get out there and play because he's so competitive. 111 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: Any kind of surgery, punch card or anything for you 112 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: so you can maybe get discounts, yea, I wish, I 113 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: wish I did. I wish I did get a discount, 114 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: but I kept all of my um you know when 115 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: you have when you get like almost like hurt on 116 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: a job. So I had fifty one injuries while I 117 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: was playing. I got an account for every single one 118 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: of them, and probably thirty of them more surgeries and 119 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: surgery is considered. You know, if you're going to get 120 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: some steroids shot on your back because you got so 121 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: much information in your disc if you gotta scope your knee, 122 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: if you got to brace your finger because you maybe 123 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: tore it, any of those I got them all. And 124 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: that's probably a small bit of what about these other guys, 125 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they have hundreds of injuries. How sensitive even 126 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: to where were you as your career went along about 127 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: potential for concussions, because that is something that in the 128 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: last generation has obviously moved to the forefront of concerns 129 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: for players. Well, I was one of those guys where 130 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: I was gifted with long arms, so I really didn't 131 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: have to hit with my head. But a lot of 132 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: the guys now are really taking an account of those 133 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: high impact brain type injuries that lead to other things 134 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: later on, you know, once you retired, And that's what 135 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys now are really thinking about 136 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: getting into the league, playing a little while, and then 137 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: getting out because those impacts over and over again are 138 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: sort of detrimental to you. So I thought about it 139 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: a lot while I played and try to play as 140 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,559 Speaker 1: safe as I could. But it's a glad heat of sport. 141 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: We're ten weeks in now, yeah, right, cowboys who played 142 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: nine games. They're basically they're in first place at the nfcast, 143 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: but basically tie, right, But they want all their They 144 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: got the divisions, right, do we know? And Kevin, let 145 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: me start with you and we'll go around. Do we know? 146 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: We've seen what this team is. That are they still 147 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out? Is this going to be 148 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: an eight and eight team again this year? Is it's 149 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a non win team? Like, what's your opinion 150 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: on where they're at right now? I think we absolutely 151 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: know what this team is. It's just it's a hard 152 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: message to kind of accept at the moment. Is they're 153 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: not as good as you would hope they would be, 154 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: but they're not as bad as the angry mob with 155 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: the pitchfork and the torches and everything like that. This 156 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: strikes me as a team that does in fact win 157 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: the division and maybe gets bounced in the wild card round, 158 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: which I know after the three and oh start, I 159 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: had all my own high mind ideals about where this 160 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: season was going. But I think we do know. It's 161 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: just a hard outcome to accept at this moment. Dave, Okay, 162 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: I agree with everything Kevin just said. But that's the 163 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: crazy thing for me, is it's just it's so much 164 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: about consistency with these guys, because you can't convince me 165 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: that this isn't a talented team, Like I know how 166 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: many Pro bowlers are on that roster because I see 167 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: the stars on their locker and I go in there. 168 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: You got Pro bowlers everywhere. They're number one in overall 169 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: offense in the league. Even with the poor performance against 170 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: the Vikings, this is a top ten defense. Pro bowlers 171 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: on that side of the ball too. They just aren't 172 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: playing like it. So right now they're a five and 173 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: four team? Are you are? Where your record says you are? Right? 174 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: So they're a middling football team. At the same time, 175 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: part of you still thinks like, well, there's seven games left, 176 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: Like they can still turn it on, they can find 177 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: their groove, they can play like a much better team. 178 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott actually said it today in the locker room. 179 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: He was like, you know, you're not always going to 180 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: win thirteen games in the NFL, but if you get 181 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, you give yourself a chance. And so 182 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to just like close the book on 183 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: this being a good football team, but through nine weeks 184 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: they just haven't been able to play like it on 185 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: a consistent basis. Yeah, you know what, I look at 186 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: them right now as a team to where like you said, 187 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: there is a lot of talent. There's a lot of 188 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: tent across the board, But what are you going to 189 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: get from week to week, and that's the consistency that 190 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: everyone's looking for. At the beginning of the season, you know, 191 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: they were passing the ball well, and then all of 192 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: a sudden, everybody's saying they're just passing the ball, and 193 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: then they start running the ball will. But there hasn't 194 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: been a game to where you run the ball wheel 195 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: and you pass the ball will. On offense and on defense, 196 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: they're playing well enough to win games, meaning they're stopping 197 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: a lot of the teams and running situations. But then 198 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: you get to those teams to where they're really good 199 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: at running the football and they don't stop them, and 200 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: we got to see that last week. And so if 201 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: the offense keep playing like they're playing, either they're gonna 202 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: have a great offensive game, meaning from the passing situation, 203 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: or they're gonna have a good running they're gonna run 204 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: the ball wheel. They can still win football games. But 205 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: defensively they have to be consistent all the time because 206 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna play teams, they're where you're gonna have 207 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: to think about on their run team a pass team, 208 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because when the defense do not play well, 209 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: that's when we win football game. Lose football games. Just think, 210 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: just think about that. You win against two run, great 211 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: run offenses, and you didn't do well, and then they 212 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: lost a football game because they control the clock. You 213 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: got so many weapons on offense to win football games 214 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: and make big plays, but it's all about how many 215 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: times can we get it to him. Yeah. I kind 216 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: of wanted to ask all about that because I realized 217 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: statistically number one offense, But does it feel like the 218 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: number one offense? Because people lament about that more than anything. 219 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: But that might just be a by product of what 220 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: fans complain about, because I don't feel like this is 221 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: the number one offense. I feel like very good offense, 222 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: but maybe not number one. I see. I kind of 223 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: think that maybe that's a little bit of you know, 224 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: prisoner of the moment almost because yeah, I mean they 225 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: could not they could not run the ball against the Vikings, 226 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: and they tried too hard to make it happen. I 227 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: think we would all agree with that. But they threw 228 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: for four hundred yards in that game, and before that, 229 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: they were on a roll. Like DeMarcus just said, they 230 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: were on a roll. Three straight one under yard performances 231 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: for Zeke. They were doing everything. They wanted to on 232 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: the ground, so I would say, I mean and listen, 233 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: the results still haven't been good. We're talking about a five, 234 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: five and four team. I'm not trying to convince anybody 235 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: this looks like a super Bowl team. But you go 236 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: flip on the tape of the Chicago Bears or this 237 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions team they're about to play without Matt Stafford 238 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: and maybe kind of get an idea of what bad 239 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: offense looks like. I think this has looked like a 240 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: top five offense for most of the year, with the 241 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: exception of that game against the same Sins and then 242 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: the Jets game where I thought that was there for 243 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: the taking offensive. That was just a perfect storm of mess, 244 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: is what that was. And I I mean, you're looking 245 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: at it from like, to me a statistical standpoint of 246 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: the top five offense. But those top five offenses they 247 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: can run the football and pass a football. Yeah, against 248 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: anybody like it does not matter. It doesn't matter. I 249 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: don't need one hundred percent on one. In the other 250 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: run pass, I need eighty. I need give me eighty 251 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: yards with Zeke, give me, you know, maybe three three 252 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: oh five with that. I promise this is a good 253 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: football game. Yeah, because no matter what, if I'm not 254 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: passing the ball, well, I'm running football, but I'm doing 255 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: it consistent, consistent enough to win football. That's that's a 256 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: great point, which I'll contradict myself. But they have four 257 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards in that game against the Vikings. 258 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: But it was four hundred verse fifty, you know, and 259 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: it's a lot of yards. But when you're not balanced 260 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: enough to do what you want when you want to 261 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: do it, you wind up losing games. But but think 262 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: about controlling the clock when you have Now you're running 263 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: the ball on the defense. The offense is off the field, 264 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: they're they're they're scoring fast, so they're off the field. 265 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: But the defense is playing sixty plays and offenses playing thirty. 266 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: I want our offense to play fifty sixty plays where 267 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: we're controlling everything and our defense, which you can see, 268 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: they were getting pressured a whole game. But when it 269 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: came down to stop in the run in key situations, 270 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,239 Speaker 1: that's when cool started getting those big plays on receptions 271 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: and run in the run game. Let's talk about let's 272 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: take a quick break defense. You brought it up. Let's 273 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: talk about let's talk about the addition of Michael Bennett. 274 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. What do you think? You know 275 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: some of the fans are kind of down on Tank 276 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: this year. Let's talk about where you're seeing from Tank. 277 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn's having just a monster year.

DeMarcus brought something 289 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: up that Dave and I completely forgot about. What's that 290 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: I missed? This that he played under Rod Mary Valley 291 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: for three years, So you're very familiar with this defense 292 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: and the schemes and what they try to do with 293 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: their schemes. So before we get to that, let's talk 294 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: about what do you think of the addition of Robert 295 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: Quinn In the off season. They picked up they picked 296 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: up Bennett here recently. Let's start there. What do you 297 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: what are your opinion on those two guys. I think 298 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: it's great because everything on Rod's defense is predicated on 299 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: the guys up front. The four guys up front, they 300 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: control everything, They get the most penetration, they get the 301 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: most tackles for a loss, and you can see how 302 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: Tank and all the guys are hustling to the football. 303 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: The defensive line is that He always would tell us 304 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: we want the defensive line to make the most tackles 305 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: on the defense, not the linebackers, because if they're getting 306 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: to the linebackers, that mean that they've already broke broken 307 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: the line of scrim and the guys coming in with Quinn. 308 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: At first, I was like, Okay, well, is it gonna 309 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: be a hurt Quinn or is it gonna be that 310 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Quinn that we're going to be able to get a 311 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: lot of pressure with And we actually have that guy? 312 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: You know what it was? It is it how many 313 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: people seven and a half sacks and with six games, 314 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: it's been about six games, right, seven and a half sacks, 315 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: and then you bring in Benny and I'm like, Okay, well, Ben, 316 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: it's been playing a little while. Is it going to 317 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: be that same Bennet. It's the Bennet of eighty percent. 318 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: It's not that Bennet that I've seen at Seattle, that 319 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Bennet that I saw at the early and the Patriot Times. 320 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: But it's the Bennet that I've seen also progress from 321 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: game one to game two because they're letting him go now, 322 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: he's actually figuring out where he fits in the defense, 323 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: and he's like that. They called him like the hybrid tackle, 324 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: a guy that gets into the game and a little 325 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: bit of a third down situations, longer secon second down 326 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: and able to bring pressure. And that's what he's doing 327 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: and they're utilizing in the right way. They have a 328 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: great front fourth, especially with Collins right, and he's pushing 329 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: the pocket doing what he needs to do. I didn't 330 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: think that he was an awesome pass rush. I thought 331 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: that him as a run stopping guru. But he's actually 332 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: bringing a lot of pressure inside. Why don't we think 333 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: it seems like they don't get more pressure then, because 334 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: like you look at the team as a whole. And 335 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: again this might be a common complaint where you want, 336 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we all want to quarter quarterback pressure or 337 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: a sack on every single play, But it does feel 338 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: across the board like maybe the Cowboys don't get much 339 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: like we talked about with the offense, the representative of 340 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: the sum of all the parts. Yeah, I think, go ahead, no, no, please, 341 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: you're going to the Hall of Fame. You go ahead. 342 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: Don't undersell yourself whatever Dave's But like, sometimes not getting 343 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: pressure and a quarterback sat still means that the quarterback 344 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: is in the part and the coverage is taking care 345 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: of everything because they have great cover guys and the 346 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: linebacking corps is the best I've ever seen with you know, 347 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: Jay Land and Vanderesh and Sean Lee. They can get 348 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: the job done. But you have to be able to 349 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: get enough pressure in those situations like last week that 350 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: you're in his face. Is not about all the time 351 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: knocking a quarterback down and getting that sack. Is he 352 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: in a phone booth? Can he make that phone call 353 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: down the field? He did it a couple of times, right, 354 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: But you gotta be able to get that pressure inside. 355 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: That's what was so frustrating about that game on Sunday 356 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: Night is the vikings, which kudos to them. They clearly 357 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: schemed it up that way, but they didn't put Cousins 358 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: in a situation that often where he was gonna get 359 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: killed by the pass rush. You saw it. We ran 360 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: our sounds from the sideline video that we do every 361 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: week on Monday. Rod Marinelli was telling his guys on 362 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: the sideline at that game. He's like, they're doing boots 363 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: and screens. Ye, boots and screens all night. They've rolled 364 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: Cousins out, so he's not standing still. They used Dalvin 365 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: Cook in the screen game and the Cowboys just couldn't 366 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: do anything about it. We've seen that at times this season. 367 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: They've been good against the run at times, they've been 368 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: really bad against the run at times too, and Sunday 369 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: Night was one of those nights clearly, because I felt 370 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: like they didn't put the game on Cousins enough. Because 371 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: if you put him back there in the pocket and 372 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: make him throw, you're probably gonna win that game. And 373 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: they never had to do that because the screen game 374 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: was working so well, the play action was working so well. 375 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Who does that fall on responsibility wise that your decordinator 376 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: is calling out, this is what they're doing, This is 377 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: what they're doing. You have a decent idea of what 378 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: they're gonna go to again and again. I know Dalvin 379 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: Cook is ridiculously talented, But does that fall on not 380 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: adjusting from the coaching staff? Is that on the players too? 381 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: You gotta wrap up and do a better job of tackling, 382 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: which we were all lamenting during the game. Where does 383 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: the responsibility for that fall I think they've fallowed back 384 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: onto the players. I feel like they had a good 385 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: enough skame to win the football game. Um, it was 386 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: a lack of responsibility in certain areas, um where it 387 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: was okay the guys there, but he needs to make 388 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: the tackler miss tackles. That's always a big kid in 389 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: the game. One hundred and forty four yards after contact 390 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: on Sunday night before that was seventy Yeah, so double 391 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: that's crazy you brought up You think this is one 392 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: of the most talented linebacker corps. The knock on them 393 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: this year's they've been underperforming. What are you seeing that's 394 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: causing them to underperform? The thing is like in Rod's defense, 395 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: you got it's a responsibility defense. If two of the 396 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: defensive linemen are going underneath, that means that I'm gonna 397 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: make sure everything bounces outside to the linebackers. One guy 398 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: needs to sit. Sit. That set the point right, so 399 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: everything funnels underneath for the big guys and make the plays. 400 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: And we didn't see that a lot of times. But 401 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: then in the assing game it was the same thing 402 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: to where if the guys are going underneath creating pressure, 403 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: now we're gonna roll cousins out and gets who's responsibility 404 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: for the boot is actually one of the defensive ends. 405 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: But you can't bury yourself down in the inside. You 406 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: gotta now get you know, I would say, you have 407 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: the inside stunt, take me, then you get up the field, cutback, 408 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: boot reverse. You're not worried about a reverse. They never 409 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: did a reverse, but everything was the bootleg. Everything was 410 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: that cutback with Cook. So it was a responsibility game 411 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: and some guys weren't on their game. Dware Actually, you know, 412 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: he brought it up just completely independently at the top 413 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: of the show. But the grind of the season, you know, 414 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: and you're you got broken fingers, you got you gotta 415 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: twisted ankle, and you're doing what you gotta do. Layton 416 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: vander esh he had a stinger that knocked him out 417 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: for a game and a half. He missed the game 418 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: after the bye week because it was so severe, and 419 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: then he leaves this Vikings game he can't back, which 420 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: credit to him, so clearly not a totally severe injury. 421 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: But again it makes you wonder, like, what are these 422 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: guys going through exactly? Is there more to it than 423 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: we see? And like, no guy wants to make excuses, 424 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: like if you're healthy enough to play, you want to play, 425 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: But watching some of these plays that the linebackers haven't 426 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: made over the course of the season, I think about 427 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, you kind of hope that 428 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: is what it is, because otherwise you have to deal 429 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: with the idea that, like maybe some of your ultra 430 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: talented players have like slightly regressed, and you would much 431 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: prefer saying he's just hurt, we'll get it fixed up, 432 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: it'll be okay the back half of the year, next 433 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: year or whatever, instead of saying, well, maybe he's just 434 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: a really good player instead of consistent all pro or whatever. 435 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: And it can be a little bit of both. Injuries 436 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: can be part of it. You know, we talk about 437 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: sophomore slumps with quarterbacks. Anybody can go through a sophomore slump. 438 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: You get a year worth of tape on Jalen Smith 439 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: and Layton vander As you say, Okay, this guy is 440 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: not as good moving side to side, but he's not 441 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: good at changing direction on a dime. That's how we're 442 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: going to take advantage of what he can and can't 443 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: do well. So I think I think it's a little 444 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: bit of both of those things. The thing that has 445 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: bothered me about LV that I kind of hope it 446 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: has been injury basis. I thought immediately he announced himself 447 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: as the team's best open field tackler last year, and 448 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: you kind of feel like perhaps that has not been 449 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: the case this year. I mean, I think that applies 450 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: to darn near everybody in the backsets as a player, 451 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: DeMarcus whenever you know, you think the schemes right and 452 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: it's on the players to execute, do you think halfway 453 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: through the season, a little bit over halfway through the season, 454 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: this is something they can correct. Where is it kind 455 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: of like this is what they're going to be the 456 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: rest of the year. Can you get it back on track? 457 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: Like this is something that if mistakes were me, they 458 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: can always be corrected then next week, you know, I mean, 459 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: but it's all about it's not correcting one person, it's 460 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: like correcting all eleven in all eleven guys have to 461 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: be on the same page because if one person don't 462 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: do their job, the whole team's going to suffer. And 463 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: it takes only that one guy. And it's you. We 464 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: and we've all seen that. You know, there are some 465 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: mistakes that are made. But the thing is like it 466 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: can be corrected this week that's coming up. And to me, 467 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: I always say, all excuses they stand. It depends on 468 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: if you want right, but so they're on any excuses. 469 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: Everybody's hurt or everybody's beat up some type of way. 470 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: If you put that jersey on, and if you're representing 471 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, you're gonna go out there and give 472 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: it one hundred percent here. And that's how I predicate 473 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: my career. That's how all the champions are on the team. Now, 474 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: um they should act and be that way. And so 475 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: if you're out there, you're a gladiator, your warrior, and 476 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: they's time to go to wars, time to win the 477 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: battle no matter what. All right, let's take another break. 478 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: Let's let's get into a little Dak talk. But you 479 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: played with a pretty good quarterback when you were here, yea, 480 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, so you know Dak is he's progressing, right. 481 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on what you're seeing 482 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: from your one too.

I was sig nificantly larger as a human being. 500 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: At that point there was a zip line and I said, 501 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: I want to see you go down that zip line, 502 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: and you go, my man, I want to see you 503 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: go down that zip line. And I was like, I 504 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: don't know about the physics of any of that's gonna work, 505 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: and so so what you're saying is we need to 506 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: set up a zip line. Now I would feel much 507 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: more zip line yea worthy than I was before. Before 508 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: that whole thing was toppling over injuries and that's gonna 509 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: be the not who did the Cowboys draft trauma at 510 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: at and T stadiums blah blah blah. Now know I 511 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: would be much more content with rolling down the zip line. 512 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: Also joined by David Hillman from Dallas Cowboys dot Com 513 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: and big weekend for you with the LSU victory. Oh yes, 514 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: go Tigers. We don't have to get into it here, 515 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: but I was very excited last Saturday night. To put 516 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: it mildly, we held your victory parade on the show yesterday. 517 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: Oh I no, that was your parade and you wasn't 518 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: even I would well, I was, I've been I've been 519 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: in that frame of mine. Absolutely, you went, you went 520 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: to Troy. You understand you're from that area. You get 521 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: so you parted an extra day. So that's why you 522 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: weren't at your parade. Thank god. The Cowboys, you might 523 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: be dead if they had played a Newton game. I 524 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: would have been in some serious trouble. Also joined by 525 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: former Cowboys player Denver Bronco future Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware. 526 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, thanks man. Yeah, so let's talk 527 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott. In your day. You played with a 528 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: pretty decent quarterback when you got the Cowboys, right, you 529 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: played with a pretty decent one, a little romo, you know, 530 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 1: a little rootle. But so yeah, and uh man, it's 531 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: it was one of those things where in the locker room, 532 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, he demanded excellence. I mean we never got um, 533 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: I got to a championship, but every single year, man, 534 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: it was a briand saying we want to win the 535 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl because we had the talent every single year, 536 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: which was hard, you know, not being able to win 537 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: a championship up here and then you're talking about Dad. 538 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: And one thing that I see about Dak is not 539 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,959 Speaker 1: only is he progressing as a quarter back, meaning that 540 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: when he first came in, he was a guy who 541 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: wanted to create plays, a lot of bootlegs, a lot 542 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: of little trick plays. What is he? But now it's like, Okay, 543 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm demanding that I am a pocket quarterback, but I 544 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: have athleticism to also move the chains. And I see 545 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: maturity when he demands everybody's eyes in the huddle. And 546 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: at first, you know when you usually have a quarterback 547 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: come in, they'll look at the plays and they're just 548 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: talk and then the guys are just break and leaves. 549 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: And now you see the guys like, what do we got? 550 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,919 Speaker 1: What's up? And when they leave the huddle, he leaves 551 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: the huddle first. Now there's the little things that I 552 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: see as the guys are really taking on and saying, 553 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: that's our guy. So he's becoming a leader. Yeah, he's 554 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: becoming a leader not only off the field doing things, 555 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: but also in the locker room with guys take ownership 556 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: for what he has to say. I'm hoping you can 557 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: help me out with an experiment I've been trying to 558 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: run with a Michael Irvin on the show earlier today, 559 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: and I said, what would you say to all the 560 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: people who want to run Dak out of town, because 561 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: you know there's still that group. You experience it with Romo. 562 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: He's the best, he's the worst, there's no in between. 563 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: What would you say to the people who are like, 564 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: Dak's not the guy, his contracts up, it's time to 565 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: move on, because I think that's insane. Um. The first 566 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: thing I would say, you're not the people who are 567 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: have to pay them, good point, and you're not the 568 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: person who has to pay them. So for every opinion 569 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: that's out there, that means that you don't have to, 570 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, set up for the repercussions so you can 571 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: say what you want to say. Is almost like if 572 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: you're golfing when you're on a driving range or you're 573 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: swinging a good until you now get out there and 574 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: there's a result with every single swing. But I just 575 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: think that, Um, for all the people that are out 576 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: there saying Dak isn't that guy, look at what he's done, 577 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: Look at what he's done, how consistent he's been with 578 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: what he's been given. And go back and look at 579 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the quarterbacks and look at Okay, is 580 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,479 Speaker 1: he a pocket passing quarterback? Is he his passing rating. 581 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: Let's let's look at all of the measurables. Number wise, 582 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: he's great, but one thing that you don't see is 583 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: everybody else being great around him. And for me, I 584 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: always look at it as okay, he's only as consistent 585 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: as his team listen to do. So that's that's my 586 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: take on. I am at a loss for how can 587 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: somebody can still feel that way. There's a lot on 588 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: social media Dak sucks and I'm like, are you watching 589 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: the same games that I watch? You? You know, and 590 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: he's progressed every year, he's gotten back. You know, It's 591 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: like people compared him to Russell Wilson early in his career. Well, 592 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was where he is now Russell taking it 593 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: to another level. So if he keeps progressing, there's no 594 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: telling where his seat is right right, But as long 595 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: as you see guys see him progressing like he should 596 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: every single year and competing with the other quarterbacks that 597 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: are out there, and then the team also maturing. Think 598 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: about where the team was last year, all the mistakes 599 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: and everything that they were making, and now that actually 600 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: they're they're five and four. But when you take all 601 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: the skin off and don't even think about the record. 602 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: They're playing better football, but they're not closing out games. Yeah, 603 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: why do you think they're starting so slow? Meaning in 604 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: the beginning of the beginning of the game defense and offense, 605 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: and seems like it takes him a quarter or a 606 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: quarter and a half. I think sometimes when you're putting 607 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: your feelers out, when you should just jump in the water. 608 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: That's what's happening. You're putting your feelers out. Okay, what 609 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: do we want to get this week? When I am 610 00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: the dominant team when we hit the stage this right here, Well, 611 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: you're gone. I'm ready to go right now. It's like 612 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: what you're gonna expect from you this week? So like 613 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: if you're playing against a mediocre team this week, Detroit, 614 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: to me, that's what I feel like. You're probably not 615 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna have Matthew Stafford, Stafford your running backs on IR 616 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: and you're going to gainst some busted defense. So I 617 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: should be to run the ball wheel, passed the ball wheel, 618 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: and I should have about twenty sacks on defense. Everybody 619 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: should get their numbers up. But if I told you 620 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: in the second quarter it's gonna be three to three, 621 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: you probably but not shocked, right, I'm gonna I would 622 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 1: be surprised. I'm like, okay, there there is a team again. 623 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: They're playing to the other team standard yep, and not 624 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 1: creating their own standard and where they should be bottom line, 625 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely not like it's it's consistency. You're absolutely right, Like, 626 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: especially if Stafford plays, then it changes the dynamic a 627 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: little bit. He didn't practice today. I'd be pretty shocked 628 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: if a guy with broken bones in his back plays. 629 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,760 Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, there's no excuse. And that doesn't 630 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: make anybody feel better because you could say the same 631 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 1: thing about the New York Jets and they lost that game. 632 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: But that's That's what I'm looking for, is consistency, like 633 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: play at your level, regardless of who's on the other side. 634 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: They've done a bad job with that, regardless of circumstances. 635 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: Of circumstances. Question, let's go back a little bit in time. Okay, 636 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: just popped in my head. What did you think when 637 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: the Romo handing off to that took place? What were 638 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: your thoughts around that when when you saw that go down? 639 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 1: No matter what the NFL means, not for long, right, 640 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: no matter how you look at it. And when I 641 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: saw Drew Bledsoe, and we were winning football games with 642 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: Drew bletso and then all of a sudden, Romo comes 643 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: in there and lights everything up. And then Romo, you 644 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: get heard, and you go through your injuries and again 645 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: you're not worthy of what they think you are. And 646 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: then the new guy comes in and he lights it up, 647 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: and and it's almost like I just looked at it 648 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: as the torch was given to another star. Now is 649 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: your job every single year to make that star shine? 650 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: That's what I thought about every single year. How can 651 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 1: I itch my name in stone in the star every 652 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: single year, no matter what happens around them, because if 653 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: I can be a catalyst, everybody else will be able 654 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: to gravitate Today. One of the great things you said 655 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: a minute ago was you were talking about expectations, and 656 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: you could look around the locker room every single year, 657 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: whether you made it or not, You're like, we got 658 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: the chance to make a run at the Super Bowl. 659 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: I know they all hurt. I'm curious, is there any 660 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: particular run or season? Obviously, oh seven jumps to mind 661 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: where you were like that was the year, Like I 662 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 1: thought that really should have been the year. I think 663 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: it was that thirteen and three year I can't remember 664 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: what year it was. And dude, we had like sixteen 665 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls. Yeah we remember that. Yeah, we had like 666 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: the most ever Pro Bowlers. And I can name so 667 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: many guys that are like Hall of Fame guys that 668 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: were in that in that whole group, that class. But 669 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: one thing that we did in the game that mattered 670 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: the most is that we didn't have our edge. We 671 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,959 Speaker 1: played to the level of the team that was there, 672 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: and they were hot. There was the Giant y'all in 673 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: the first round by the Giants won six to get 674 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: in and then they beat the undefeated Patriots in the 675 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: Super Bowls to win it. We were hot and we 676 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 1: were conceded. Wow, I'm being honesty. I'd call a spade 677 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: a spade. But when you went into that game, it's 678 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: especially when you make the playoffs. Every single one of 679 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: those games is a new game. Is this a new 680 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: game every week? Right? Is it? The player's responsibility? Is 681 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: that the coach's responsibility to shut down being conceded. That 682 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 1: seems like a hard thing to curb from a professional athlete. 683 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: In the grown up, it's the leader's responsibility and it's 684 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: and it usually takes two guys, like if it was 685 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: Romo and me, if his dad and Zeke, if his 686 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: JaMarcus Lawrence, any of those guys, it takes. It's upon 687 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: the players to give that vibe. And if you're in 688 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs, you should already just be you should just 689 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: be crump right right. But if you go in there mellow, 690 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: one of those teams smack you ready the first quarter, 691 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: it's hard to get back. It's hard to get back. 692 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: So this way, you gotta start fast, like you talked 693 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: about starting fast, and you have to start fast no 694 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: matter what. And then it just trickles out away into 695 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, whether they mean to or not. I 696 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: wonder that sometimes and over his career, Jason Garrett's been 697 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: so good at getting guys to stay focused. But for 698 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: lack of a better word, are they mellow? Like are 699 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: they aware of how much talent they have? And they're like, 700 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 1: we'll be okay, And then all of a sudden, they're 701 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: not okay. And now you're playing catch up because you 702 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: can go the numbers bear it out. Quarters two through four, 703 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: they're kicking people's butts. Quarter number one, totally different story, 704 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: Like all the way through the season and it leads 705 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: to you playing from behind and losing football games. I 706 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: think we can all agree. Let's go around the table 707 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,879 Speaker 1: that that you you're gonna have in this division. You're 708 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to win it to get in the playoffs. 709 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: You're everybody, especially when you just lost that game. If 710 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: you would have won the Vikings game, then I could 711 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: have seen a pass the wild card. There's almost there's 712 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: almost no way I can see this team making it 713 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 1: as a wild So I think you're probably gonna have 714 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 1: to win ten games to win this win this division. 715 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: Nine or ten probably gets it done. Let's look at 716 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: the remainder of the schedule. We'll take a quick break, 717 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: look at the remainder of the schedule. See if we 718 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: think they can get to ten wins, and we're gonna 719 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: save you do not want to miss this. We're gonna 720 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: save plenty of time to have fun with dware when 721 00:43:45,239 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: we come right back.

We're gonna get We're gonna get to 730 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: keep all wait for the zip. Before we get to that, 731 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,839 Speaker 1: let's spend a couple of minutes. Let me go through 732 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 1: the schedule. This is the Cowboys remaining schedule. Okay, we're 733 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: at the Lines this weekend when should be a win 734 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,959 Speaker 1: with the injuries things like that, I'm gonna I'm gonna 735 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: play your game. Okay. But that's the thing that's so 736 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 1: maddening about this team is like they don't ever do 737 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: what you think they're gonna. They could lose to the 738 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: lines and beat the Patriots. They lost to the Jets, right, 739 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,720 Speaker 1: all right, but go ahead. Sorry, So we've got the lines. 740 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 1: We're at the Patriots, we got the Bills at home 741 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,280 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. We're at Chicago, which is looking more winnable 742 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,840 Speaker 1: than it was at the beginning of the year. But 743 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: you never know. You got the MS at home at 744 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles home against the Redskins. The Eagles schedule is 745 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: a lot easier than what we're faced with. Yep. I 746 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: think it's gonna come down to the last game or two. 747 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,720 Speaker 1: I've been saying that since Week two with the Eagles 748 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: that always had you know, it always happens that way. 749 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's made for drama TV. Do 750 00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 1: you think this team, where there are, where they are now, 751 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,720 Speaker 1: where they have to go through, can they win this division? 752 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 1: Can they stay on top and win this division? Absolutely? 753 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 1: Like one hundred percent they can win the division? I 754 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: mean there are they're they're already four and o in 755 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 1: the division. Yeah, they're five and four. Here's I already 756 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: I mapped this whole thing out in my head, being 757 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: the cynical beat writer that I am. It's gonna get 758 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: They play Philly on December twenty second, Am I correct? Yep? 759 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:50,240 Speaker 1: Week sixteen, the Cowboys will probably be seven and seven 760 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: because they've got a really tough road in front of them. 761 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: They got the Pats, they got the Rams, they got 762 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: the Bears, they got a surprisingly good Bills team. Seven 763 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: and seven. Philly will probably be eight and six because 764 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,240 Speaker 1: they have a much easier road. They got the Dolphins, 765 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 1: they got two Giants games seven and seven Verse eight, 766 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: and six division on the line. Whoever wins wins the division. 767 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: Somebody gets flex so on one's already played, one hasn't, 768 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: That's what. And the Cowboys finished with Washington, which like 769 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: that is the one game left that I just know 770 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: they'll win, Like they're not gonna lose to the to 771 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: ever know what's gonna happen. They're not gonna lose that game. 772 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: You never know. You never know. I'm gonna Washington and 773 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: Arizona or the two crazy places that point being. It's 774 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna come down to that Eagles game. And and I honestly, 775 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: as much as I don't trust the Cowboys overall, I 776 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: trust them to win a do or die Division game 777 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: because they almost always do in my time. I've only 778 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: I've been here seven years, and the Cowboys owned the 779 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: division in the time that I've been here for the 780 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: most part. You think they get to ten wins, I do. 781 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,319 Speaker 1: I think they go ten and six. The Bears don't 782 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: scare me anymore, obviously not the Lions, And I guess 783 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm still not super sold fair or unfair on the Bills. 784 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 1: That loss to the Browns kind of solidified my thoughts 785 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: on they're fine, So I think you take those games 786 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully when that game against the Eagles to set 787 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 1: you up with the tie break and you go in 788 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: at ten and six. Yeah, I think that they can. 789 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 1: They can beat ten and six. But I think it's 790 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a long row for them, and they're gonna 791 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: lose a couple of division games, but win none division games. 792 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: I feel like that's where you sort of get the 793 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,879 Speaker 1: heart of the team because those none division games are 794 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, you got the Bills that are playing well. 795 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: I want you to beat some teams that you know 796 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: you're supposed to beat. I want you to beat the Patriots. 797 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: I want you to beat the Patriots, and I want 798 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: you to beat the Rams. So those are three games 799 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: to me that if I win these three games and 800 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 1: then you know, a couple of these games I need 801 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: to win, like Detroit, you gotta beat Detroit and maybe 802 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: feel it you might lose to Washington, but I feel 803 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: like those big games you have to win because those 804 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 1: are gonna be those confidence builders. They're gonna take you 805 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: and put you over to over the threshold. But I'm 806 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,880 Speaker 1: I think they can do it. I think they can 807 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: do it. I'm just waiting it out right though, I'm 808 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: not saying this is gonna happen, But if I was 809 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 1: trying to, like, if you're a downtrodden, sad, angry Cowboys 810 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: fan about the way that this season has gone, if 811 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm trying to convince you why you should feel good, 812 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to what DeMarcus said. Y'all kicked 813 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 1: everybody's butts. You were cocky and complacent, You got the 814 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 1: week off, you didn't come out firing. If the Cowboys 815 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: are gonna make a run, they're gonna have to be hot, 816 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to start kicking. But you can do 817 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,839 Speaker 1: it like the Giants did that year. There are so 818 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: many examples of teams that were playing like crap in 819 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 1: November that turned it on in December, both Giants Super 820 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: Bowl runs, the Packers back in twenty ten. So yeah, 821 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: it's been mediocre to this point. But we talked the 822 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: whole first segment was about how the talent's there. So 823 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: if the talent's there and they can turn it on 824 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: get it rolling over the last three, four or five 825 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 1: weeks of the season, who the hell knows what can happen. 826 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 1: But then I'm just talking about, like the guys also 827 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: that they're playing. If you're playing a lot of NMC's teams, 828 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,239 Speaker 1: they're running the football. But the team that you need 829 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: to win against are passing the football really well. So 830 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: I want you to play well against some more diverse 831 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 1: teams that are passing the ball a little bit of 832 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 1: the ring game, like the Patriots, right, because you're gonna 833 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 1: have to play Green Bay later, right, You're gonna have 834 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: to play more dynamic teams. So for them to win 835 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: those big games and be hot and knowing that they 836 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,359 Speaker 1: can stop you do it. Yah, knowing you can do it, 837 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 1: you'll be right, all right, all right, fun with d 838 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: where I hope I didn't oversell them. Yeah. Probably we 839 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 1: got about four minutes too, So all right, these are 840 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: really long four minutes. These are really just questions I 841 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 1: want to know, and I sold it as fun with 842 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: just burning. This may not be those that interesting to 843 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: anyone else, but it's interesting teams right there. Who is 844 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 1: your favorite teammate to play with? And why my favorite 845 00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: teammate to play with? And why? Uh? I mean, this 846 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: is freaking hard. There was a hard question, all right. 847 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: I would say you can get me two or three. 848 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: I would say two or three, all right, I would 849 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 1: say the first one was Greg Ellis. And the reason 850 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: why Greg Ellis. When I first came in, I was 851 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 1: looking for that guy that I needed, like so much 852 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 1: guidance from how to treat myself, how to go through recovery, 853 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 1: what to eat. He had, you know, great Christian background, 854 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,839 Speaker 1: like you know, just he was an all around guy. 855 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: And then he protected me from Larry All and then 856 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: Roy Glover, you know, Roy Williams, all those guys that 857 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: wanted to tump me. He protected me from those guys 858 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: who I gravitated to him. And then it got when 859 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,280 Speaker 1: I went into the room, it was like the Brady 860 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: James and an Ache and Adel and Anthony Spencer guys 861 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 1: that I played with. And when you go to like 862 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 1: the offensive side, one guy that I talked talked to 863 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: all the time was Jason Whitten. It was me and 864 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: Jason Whitten, like no matter what, lockers were right there, 865 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 1: so you had to you probably was there when you 866 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 1: go through the locker room. It was me and Jason 867 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: Whitten skate door exactly because you know, I didn't talk 868 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: to me that when we talk to the media was 869 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: always outside the outside because somebody called somebody called him. 870 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,280 Speaker 1: I was like, now, I don't have time to be talking. 871 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: I'm trying to play ball right now. But Witton was like, 872 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: it was so many guys that I played with, man, 873 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: and just the memories that we had and you know, 874 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 1: bringing the families together, you know, having fun outside of sports, 875 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: but also doing so many things outside of here, showing 876 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 1: who we were and it was cool. Man. So, uh, 877 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 1: there was about three or four guys out there that 878 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: I gave who who is You can give me a 879 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,439 Speaker 1: couple here?

Yeah, Texas out man that win. 881 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: When I looked at him, I was like, he can't 882 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 1: play football, Like he was really small, Like he was 883 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: like you. But he would be out there and we 884 00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 1: couldn't understand nothing that he was saying because this was 885 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. When he gets really excited, he would 886 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: say things and I'm like, Okay, what is he talking about? 887 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 1: And he knew every single play when it what happened, 888 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,400 Speaker 1: and that's what made him so great. And uh, I 889 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: was like, this is the smartest guy I've ever seen. 890 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,760 Speaker 1: That's what kept in the league a long time. Best 891 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: defensive player you ever played, best the best defensive player 892 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 1: I've ever played with. Um, I'm putting on the spot. 893 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm curious about I played 894 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 1: with probably probably Von Miller. I was like, yeah, I 895 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: mean he was. It was remarkable, man, having a guy 896 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: there you couldn't stop him, especially when he was focused. 897 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 1: You couldn't stop him. And then I'm on the other 898 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: side and we would like like polarized quarterbacks. There were 899 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: nothing they can do but do these little screenplays, little draws. 900 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: Instead of yall to slow us down. They were just 901 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 1: like just gonna get them. We didn't have to worry 902 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: about in the interior guys that just pushed the pocket. 903 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 1: You two just go and get him and the play coverage. 904 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 1: Was there ever a player that you just enjoyed not 905 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 1: on your team, didn't have to be on your team, 906 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: but you just enjoyed watching in real time like when 907 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: you were playing them. D White Freeny was one of 908 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: those guys who in college at Watchington I think he 909 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 1: was at Arizona State.

And 914 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: I would try and I would lose every time I 915 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 1: did it, but I would say, Dwight Freener, well, fellas, 916 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 1: this has been awesome.
