This week, Nate I want 40 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: to start with you, though, sir. We are at the 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: halfway point of this season, Cowboys six and two, second 42 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: overall in the NFC East, one of the best teams 43 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Give me your assessment on the first 44 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: half of this season and what stood out to you 45 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: most about this Cowboys. It's been amazing. It's been amazing 46 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: because we're all gonna say what we saw against Tamford. 47 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: We hey, it was over now, it's been amazing. But 48 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: what I want to say, Drew, what I want to 49 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: say chopping Kevin is the consistency of the coach. Besides 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: that one time you saw him on TV when he 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: asked them, uh, the train on TV like his dad 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: and the d like he like. Oh after that he 53 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: went to work. Yeah, he adjusted his way, his offensive 54 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: coordinator thought he he gave his defensive coordinator a little 55 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: bit of ball control and they've been winning ever since. 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: But you know, and so now QB one back were rolling. 57 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: It's been amazing. Man. Chad talked to me about the 58 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: biggest difference you've seen from this team from last year 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: that's gotten them to this point at six and two. 60 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not making the little mistakes you know, 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: they're not beating themselves. That's the key. When you have 62 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback playing for half a year or in 63 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: this case, you know, been but sixty percent of the season. Yeah, 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, you can't make mistakes and consistently win games. 65 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: And they haven't. They haven't beaten themselves. I was like 66 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: a C student. They're they're they're getting a's right across 67 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: the board. It's it's it's fun to watch because you know, 68 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: all I know is since that, since your team's Nate, 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of bad luck and and and 70 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: they've made mistakes themselves, right, And it just feels like 71 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: for the first time like everything's kind of falling their 72 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: way and that you need that. You know, you need 73 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: a little luck along the way if you're gonna win. 74 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: That's right, and they've got it right now. So far 75 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: as you're talking to me about this wide receiver Group 76 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: eighty eight club member Ceedee Lamb emerging as a number 77 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: one wide receiver, if you were to talk to him, 78 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: just like you did at that one time where y'all 79 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: sat and Hatch of Holt Lane had a good time, 80 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: but yourself and Michael, what advice would you give to 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: ceedee lamb about what he needs to do going forward 82 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: for the rest of this season. Here, well, you know, 83 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't watch it as closely that as I used to. 84 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: You know, for the older you get further away from 85 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: the game you get. But looking at CD, I don't 86 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't see him doing anything he needs to do. 87 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: Just keep doing what he's doing. Every time he gets 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: the opportunity. He seems to be making plays. What he 89 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: had five for seventy seven Saturday, I mean Sunday. And 90 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: you know, back in the day Tony Hill, if we 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: had that, we be happy. I'd be like, oh man, 92 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: we're we're rolling. But you know, nowadays, you know, those 93 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: numbers seem pedestrian to compared to uh what Amari Cooper's numbers. Yeah, yes, so, 94 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: but you know CD, you know, as long as they 95 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: keep using him, I think he'll continue to step up. 96 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: And I you know, everybody talk about the receiving core, 97 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: I think they're all right gallops you know coming through 98 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: he's he's feeling it now. And as you get closer, uh, 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: further into the season, you know, he'll have more confidence 100 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: and Dak will have more confidence to go then and 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: more will have more confidence to call his number. Schultz 102 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: is healthy. You see Dak how he uses him. So 103 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: that's all part of the receiving group. Uh. I didn't 104 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: see Noah Browns in his stats as he hurt. Yeah, okay, 105 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: but he gets healthy and they got they got a 106 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: good core. I'm glad they didn't get that kid coming 107 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: out of Houston. Yea, all, I don't like his attitude. 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: If there's a reason he goes from team to team, 109 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: all right, and it's not his ability, So let's not 110 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, bring a guy like Ada and coach through 111 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: the infect the team in a negative way. So but CD, 112 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: just keep doing what you're doing. Man, if you need 113 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: any help, call the regional ad. All you following the 114 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: game a little more close to what you give yourself 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: credit for, Nate, When you look at this team now 116 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: on there bye week, what's a player's mentality on a 117 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: bye week? Not just getting you know, the rest and 118 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: the recovery, but what are you doing during this time 119 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: to get away from the game a little bit and 120 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: try to recover a little bit before you get ready 121 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: for this is the deal. They didn't have a bye week. 122 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: We had a bye week that was controlled by your coach. 123 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy only gave us a day here Friday at three o'clock. 124 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: We had to be back Monday morning, so we had Sunday, Saturday, 125 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: and Sunday. Now it's mandatory middlem four days. But these guys, 126 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: unlike me, now there there they they they understand taking 127 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: care of their bodies coming back, stand in shape. You 128 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: you've never seen these guys fall out out to a 129 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: bye week. They have always coming back and had some 130 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: type of wind history and be checked the history. But 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: now if that had been me, Drew, I mean, it's 132 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: like the local doughnut shop all you can eat we had. 133 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: We had Michael Michael on the show today. We asked 134 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: him what he did to her in his bye week, 135 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: and they said, you don't want to know. That's right 136 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: the shop. What do you want to see coming out 137 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: of the bye week once this team returns and the 138 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: number one thing for you that's gonna be on your 139 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: radar when the Cowboys get back on the field, when 140 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: they take on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 141 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: on the road. Well, I want to I was a 142 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: little worried about Mica, whether he's healthy or you know, 143 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: you kind of hit that wall at some point or 144 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: I was worried about that. So I want to see 145 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: the health, but I just want to see to lose 146 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: their edge. You know, like a lot of times I 147 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: wonder if you go to a bye week on a 148 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: hot streak, is that bad? You know? Do you lose 149 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: your edge? If you know, if you're if you're struggling, 150 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: maybe the bye week's good for you. But you go 151 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: into the Bay and we've seen a lot of teams 152 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: go the week before the bye and they put up 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: a stinker, right and this team didn't do that, which 154 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: I think is a good sign. But I just want 155 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: to see them not lose the edge they've had because 156 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: they've played with they've played physical football, they played football 157 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: that's wide open, and they've been able to win multiple 158 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: different ways. I just don't want to see to lose 159 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: that edge, say, Chop, that's the thing I noticed the 160 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: most they played physical football. They're getting after they are 161 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: playing football the way it's supposed to be played, the 162 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: way Cowboys football is supposed to be played, and it 163 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: is a physical game out there. They better with the 164 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: opponents when they come in here or we go there, 165 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: they better button their kins straps up because we're bringing it, 166 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: and that defensive line is sitting at pace for the 167 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: rest of the defense and you see the results. Speaking 168 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: of physical football, the Dallas Cowboys ran for over two 169 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: hundred yards on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Tony Polar 170 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: fourteen carries a buck thirty one nine point four yards 171 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: per carry. That physical football and that nature that you've 172 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: got Ezekiel Elliott, who's dealing with a little bit of 173 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: a knee injury right now, Drew. If you're Mike McCarthy 174 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: and you've got these two backs, how are you handling 175 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: the distribution between Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard once you 176 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: get back onto the field when you take on the Packers, 177 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: just the way they've been doing it. Apparently the guys 178 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: get along with each other. That's the biggest part of it. 179 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: You know, after Butch Johnson was trying to take my job, 180 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: our friendship kind of split retired. The friendship came back. Yeah, 181 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: but the guys seemed to be okay with it. And 182 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, running back is that position now in the 183 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: NFL where you need two guys. You know, you need 184 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: two producers there, and not just because of injuries, but 185 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: because you put the pressure you put on the defense. 186 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: There are two different type of running backs, so there's 187 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: two different ways you have to prepare for them. And 188 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: that's good for the offense. And so when they see Zeke, 189 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm in there thinking of one thing, Well, let's do 190 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: something else. Let's surpribe to him with something different. Same 191 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: thing with with Pollard. So as long as they get 192 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: along and there's no issues between them, keep using them 193 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: like you're using them. This This is what I see. 194 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: Every guy that knows football that I've listened to said 195 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. He said, said the same thing I said, 196 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: say the same thing, chop he said, this morning. What 197 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: what is the issue here? What is what? What is 198 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: the issue? The issue is one thing. Zeke makes twelve 199 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: million dollars. Okay, but if you give Tony Pollock twenty 200 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: five carries touches a game for the next nine games, 201 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: I promise you we'll be talking about another guy next 202 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: year saying, hey, he's not the same guy, but remember 203 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: you wanted him to have all these extra games. Zeke 204 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: did this for four years straight. So people a people 205 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: aboutter understand the game. They've been under stand the game. 206 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: But these two guys bring to this game. This guy 207 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: had a chance to the ball this fast game twenty 208 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: five times. They only gave it to him fourteen. That's 209 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: because that's what he is. That's yeah, that's what they 210 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: want to close. If they told us this past week 211 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: what his role is gonna be, there was no Zeke 212 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: and he still only got fourteen carries. Yeah, he's never 213 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: had more than what seventeen in the game, even in college. 214 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: That's right. And it doesn't mean that he can't do 215 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five every now. And that doesn't mean that 216 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: to give n you every time. Yea. Ever, if you 217 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: give him twenty five carries a game like he's over 218 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: the next nine games, you may never see the same 219 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: guy again. That's in effective the way they're using, thank you, 220 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: you know. And when he comes in, it's a surprise 221 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: defense and now they don't know where's it gonna go, 222 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: what's he gonna do? And you got the receiving ability, 223 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: the running ability, and when he hits that hole, I mean, 224 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: he reminds me of doors set because Dot got in 225 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: that whole back he was gone, gone, all right. He 226 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: got that little slipper of daylight, you know, that daylight, 227 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: that little daylight and then the house. Everybody always trying 228 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: to tell me about this. But one thing this office 229 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Ryan did this week that I hadn't saw. They gave 230 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: him the point of attack entrance. They gave him a 231 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: cutback entrance, and they gave him that deep cutback. A 232 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: lot of people can't get to that deep cutback. Man. 233 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: He came back one time when it was an eight 234 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: man front. But he even fully safety because he went 235 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: up into that point of attack and dropped all the 236 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: way back, left that dude hanging. And so the Office 237 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: of Line really put it on this week. Man, go back. 238 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: All these people are here to talk about when they 239 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: call your show.

How much 254 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: fun is it to block for guys like that, knowing 255 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: anytime they get the ball in their hands that's potentially 256 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: hit a home run like Polic It's just sweet, man. 257 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: And the thing about it, you don't know when it's 258 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: happening because as office linement, you gotta work mentality. You know, 259 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: every every time you're looking at this dude who's athletically 260 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: more gifted than you nine times out of ten.

Man, because we never knew Emma Speed, 265 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: We never knew who elucive he will us and so 266 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: we saw I don't fit.

When you see Pollock running 272 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: the way that he is, knowing that anytime he gets 273 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands he could go for sixty 274 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: and take it to the house.

Gentlemen, I wanted you to think about 319 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: this defense as we have this conversation now, a defense 320 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: as leading the NFL and sax Micah Parsons looking like 321 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year early on this year. Choppy, 322 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: how good has this defense been based on what you've 323 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: seen in the value because I know you're diving into 324 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: all that twenty two when you're not when you know, 325 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: watching UKNS play baseball and whatnot. What's you've seen on 326 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: film with this defense so far this year? I mean 327 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: it all starts to starting on front. I mean the 328 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: whole to me, everything is based right now with this 329 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: team up the pass rush, they were getting to the quarterback. 330 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: They're putting the quarterback back on their heels. They're allowing 331 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: the secondary to make plays. They're allowing the other quarterback 332 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: to make bad throws, which is causing the turnovers, right, 333 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: and they may not be getting the turnovers at the 334 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: same rate they were last year. That was never gonna happen, 335 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: right now, Digs was never gonna get eleven picks again. 336 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: That's just like that. That's that's all. That's a career year, right, 337 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: So you couldn't expect that. So you needed the front 338 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback and they have. And you know, 339 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: the only thing they can't do is stop the run. 340 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: And in today's NFL when nobody runs, I mean, okay, 341 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine with that. You know, it's ideal, it's 342 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: not ideal, but uh man, they're they're getting the quarterback 343 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: and they're there. If they're not touching them, they're at 344 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: least getting them back on his heels, and that's being 345 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: more difficult throws. Nate. This is a team that is 346 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: third in the NFL and points allowed at sixteen points 347 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: six points per game by the Dallas Cowboys. When you 348 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: look at going forward for the rest of the year. 349 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: To Choppy's point about the run defense, what do you 350 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: see that has to get better for this run defense 351 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: at least to be average so that they're not getting 352 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: gas the way that we've seen at times this season 353 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: so far. Well, the first thing that I want for 354 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: our defense, it's far offense. And I've asked from this 355 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: from the first show we've done together, because I need 356 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: for y'all to be at least even with time of possession, 357 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: our defense is average. You're playing thirty two minutes a game, 358 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: and you wonder why our secondary is banged up in 359 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: Chicago had thirty six minutes on Sunday. You know, you 360 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: know you have to You got nine games, you got 361 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: five of my team a road games. Three things you 362 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: gotta take on the road. That's your run game, that's 363 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: your defense. You gotta have tight special teams. So if 364 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: this is the case, you gotta find a way to 365 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: these even it up thirty minutes a game. If you 366 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: get thirty two, imagine if our defense can play on 367 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: the twenty eight minutes a game. So as Christons scored 368 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: some more touchdowns every now know you asked about the defense, 369 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you what can help with our defense 370 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: that you will see the turnovers pick up. You'll see 371 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: you'll see that we'll be in more knees and we'll 372 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: our defense that is fine as then and then when 373 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: it comes tign to stop that run early in the game, 374 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: the late in the game called Philadelphia closed out on us, 375 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: We'll be fresh enough to do it. Drew, what do 376 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: you believe is the ceiling for this football team this 377 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: year based on what you've seen and now going forward 378 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year and what the Cowboys 379 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: can achieve possibly, Well, you know, I'm not going to 380 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: get on that bandwagon like a lot of Cowboys fans 381 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: and you know, talking about Super Bowl and stuff. You know, 382 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: let's just take one game at a time and see 383 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: where we are going through the NFC East. Now is 384 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: the Beast again? Yeah? And ain't anymore? Right, So let's 385 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: try to have that goal of winning the East at 386 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: least getting to the playoffs and then re established ourselves 387 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: once we get there and see if we have what 388 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: it takes to make a run through the playoffs a 389 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: good team. Last year, you know, I was disappointed when 390 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: we hit the playoffs playing a home game San Francisco 391 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: you're not up for that. You're not ready for that. 392 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: That was a great opportunity for us to win that game. 393 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: Then maybe make a run, you know, through the rest 394 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. But this team just needs to take 395 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 1: one game at a time. They're not that They're not 396 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: too many veterans on this team. I'm a young guys, 397 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: you guys, so let's keep them focus, you know, not 398 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: looking too far ahead, choppy. This is an NFC East 399 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: that's twenty three and eight since the merger in nineteen seventy. 400 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: This division has the highest win percentage through the first 401 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: eight weeks of the season at a seven forty two clip, 402 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: and one of only two divisions currently the AFC East 403 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: and the NFC East to have all four teams at 404 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: least five hundred or above. Did you see this coming 405 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: in the NFC East? With how good the Cowboys have been, 406 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: the Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles, even Washington having won three 407 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: games in a row. Did you see this coming at 408 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Do you want me to 409 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: lie to you? I want you to to tell me the truth. Chod, 410 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: tell me that I saw the Cowboys running away with 411 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: this thing. I didn't see the Eagles being what seven 412 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, I sure, as you know what, didn't 413 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: see the Giants being at their record at six and two. 414 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: And I didn't see even see Washington being a five 415 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: hundred team. I thought it was gonna be the Cowboys 416 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: and then a gap, and then the Eagles and then 417 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: a bigger gap and then those other two teams out 418 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: of the bottom. I certainly did not see this. This 419 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: is stunning. I still don't buy New York. I still don't. 420 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of their quarterback. I think their 421 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: coach has done a really nice job. But I'm waiting. 422 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to go on that five games 423 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: and very unusual ways, like going for two points and 424 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: win in the game instead of in Jacksonville. Yeah, ain't worry, 425 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: interception on the one yard lift, you know, things like that. 426 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, when you when you see that, 427 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: Nate knows that he's like scared because is that a 428 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: team of destiny winning games like that due the course 429 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: of the season. So you got to be concerned about 430 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: the Giants to chop, Yeah, I get it. I just 431 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, like that they had no business beat in Baltimore. 432 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: Baltimore was dominating that football game they went up winning. 433 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: I just I can't I can't, like, I can't see 434 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: that team. I'm like, man, I just don't understand how 435 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: they're doing it. I'm gonna have to get past that 436 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: because this em to be here. Philadelphia is scary though, Yeah, 437 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: all right, they're scary. I love their quarterback. I think 438 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is tremendous, getting better and better every game. 439 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: I think he's criminally underrated. I think he's underrated as 440 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: a passer. He's not underrated as a runner, but I 441 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: think as a passer he's massively underrated. And they made 442 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: a move too, Chop brought in the defensive end. Yeah, 443 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: as so as he's gonna be he's gonna be satisfied. 444 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: They're still making moves. Nate, where does this Cowboys team 445 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: fit in the NFC picture in your mind when you 446 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: think about the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants, Where 447 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: does this cow team fit with the midst of the 448 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: Vikings and all these teams at the top of the NFC. 449 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: You know, you know, Kevin and I'm being I'm being serious. Uh, 450 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: Let's see, we have had twelve and this win eleven. 451 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: This win tends this win thirteen and three. Yea of 452 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: a sudden the first round were all out ugly, Uh, 453 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: weaknesses come out. Yeah, let's let's see. I want to 454 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: see because I have never in the last ten years, 455 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: have counting Philip count Philly out. It's something about their 456 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: GM and the management team that always seemed to put 457 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: a team together and then they would at the end 458 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: of the year. It's like they fitted played four pass 459 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: seas and they beat them all and they in the playoffs. Man, 460 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: they made the playoffs last year in a rebuild, in 461 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: a rebuild, so you didn't believe that it was gonna 462 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: be good this year. I did. I did, but I 463 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: thought that I was. Yeah, that wasn't a day to 464 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: get hurt. You know. I quit doubting them. Yeah, because 465 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: every year we doubt not the Giants. I would talk 466 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: bad about the Washington several names I would talk bad about, 467 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: but I'm always and fellas. Don't forget they ended with 468 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: maybe ten on eleven straight run plays against us. They're like, 469 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna put our Stamplet approval on y'all. Brow. Yeah, 470 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: they they they stay. Yeah, I remember that, man, But 471 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: Brown ain't Jay Brown. Yeah, I didn't even know about 472 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: this guy until you know Tennessee he was. Yeah, the 473 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: Eagles saw something in him. I got the breast of 474 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: the league as well. But man, this guy's uh three 475 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: touchdowns on Sunday makes a big difference. And then with 476 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: the Demante Smith, uh there so, and they got a 477 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: good tight end. They got a little running game. Yeah, 478 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: they run that a little option at RPO and especially 479 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: around the gold line. They don't settle for field goals. 480 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: They're getting in the end zone. And a lot of 481 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: it is that that pressure hurts were putting on the 482 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: defense when they get into that. We call it the 483 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: plus territory, you know, you young guys call it the right. 484 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: That's a plus territory. And uh, you know, he's a 485 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: threat that on there, and that means the rest of 486 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: the your offense is a threat in that kind of situation. 487 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: They're they're putting them touchdowns and not kicking field. You 488 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: got Jordan Davis, you got Flesher cops, you got Hardgrave, 489 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: you got Brandon Graham. The dudes know how, Yeah, they 490 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: know how to play big boy football. Yeah, and so 491 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: they gotta rent. They gotta deal. Now, we're gonna beat 492 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: you down in the first quarter. We're gonna score a 493 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: lot of points in the in the second quarter, and 494 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna make you come get us. Yeah right, that 495 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: is what the Cowboys need to adapt going into the 496 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: second yeah part of the season. That way, our offense, 497 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: our defense can stay fresh. And now I'm gonna ride that. 498 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride that, Drew. Yeah, we don't keep our 499 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: defense fresh when we're gonna I agree with that. You know, 500 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: it's an advantage, you know, that way you get your 501 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: best players down the field and they're not tired because 502 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: and you have a rotation and everything like that, so 503 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: you keep your best players on the field if they're 504 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: if you're controlling third down, which will control the time 505 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: of possession. Joelle want to ask you before we go 506 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: to break here, because we feel like this Cowboys team 507 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: has a chance to be special this year. When you 508 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: played and understood what the assignment was for your teams, 509 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: when did you know that a certain team was special, 510 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: whether it be something in the locker room, something that 511 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: happened in the game that you remember. When did you 512 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: know that a particular team was special in a particular year. 513 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, not to sound arrogant or anything, we always 514 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: felt we were special. Yeah, because when we hit training camp, 515 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: Coach Landry let us know exactly what we had, all right. 516 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 1: We always just said a reasonable goal, outstanding goal. But 517 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: he would never set a goal that he didn't think 518 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: our team could achieve. Our goal every year was to 519 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. I played in seven Energy Championship games. Yeah, 520 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: so you know we you know, we came to play 521 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: every year. We didn't have that drop off even when 522 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: we went to Super Bowl, you know one that uh 523 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: we thought going into training camp would be a little 524 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: easier and stuff. Yeah, we're the champion. Now he worked, 525 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: it's even harder. So we always had that that goal 526 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl. The reasonable goal was 527 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Ways, means and methods to accomplish that. 528 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: And then you take those ways, means and method to 529 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: the next goal, which is, of course get to the 530 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: UH playoff, but not just to get to the super Bowl, 531 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: but to win the Super Bowl and UH three time 532 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champ. He knows better than me. Coach Johnson 533 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: the same way, man, you and he always looked at 534 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: players and and I know coach ain't look at us, 535 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: saying he didn't look at where you he always looked 536 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: at what you could be, and so he drove you 537 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: to what he think you should. Yeah, not know, you know, hey, 538 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: let's wait on this guy. No, if he believed in you, 539 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: he puts you in there and he let you go. Now, 540 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: he didn't just turn you loose as a starter. You 541 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: had to kind of working with you know. It was 542 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: always competition.

Right, there was the accountability we 545 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: didn't handle. Hey, you you just started the Marcus Lawrence. 546 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: You just started Dak You just no. You look at 547 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: our defense line. We just got rid of decent defense line. 548 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: We just released a defense defense linement picked up like 549 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: that because you you you can't flash brother.

Chop, I'm 586 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna ask you, as you cover this team, talk about 587 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: this team on a daily basis, are they going to 588 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: regret not making a move at the trade deadline? I 589 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: don't know. They get Odell Beckham, there's still the opportunity 590 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: for that. He is still sitting out there in free age, 591 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't think any team really 592 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 1: unless you unless you don't have a quarterback, you eat him. 593 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that how many teams are actually one 594 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 1: player away anymore? Right, Like you either have a quarterback 595 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: that could take you there or you don't. And I 596 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: think this team does, and I don't think they're truly one. 597 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: I think they're there. They're ready, you know, like a 598 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: couple of breaks go their way. The NFC is as 599 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: wide open as eyes ever I've ever seen it. Uh, 600 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: you don't have to go through Kansas City, you don't 601 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: have to go through Buffalo, you don't go about you 602 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: don't have to go through Lamar Jackson. All right, you 603 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. You just go through 604 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: Philadelphia at San Francisco and you've got the quarterback advantage 605 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: in both of those games. So I'll take my chances. 606 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's worth mortgage in the future. Uh, 607 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: if they wanted to go and give up a that 608 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: what I have done? A second out pick for Chase Claypool. Yeah, 609 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: I probably would have. That's the one that got away. Right. 610 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: He's been He's making basically two million dollars a year 611 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: for this year and next year. That's that's free. That's 612 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: a free player. I'm sorry, sure, I know back in 613 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:44,919 Speaker 1: your day, it's not today. That's a that's a free 614 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: player today. So it's like, you know, I maybe would 615 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: have gone for him, But I think they're there. I 616 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: think they're good enough. Wow, right, May I agree, Nate? No, 617 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,280 Speaker 1: I agree, I think they're good enough. They put themselves 618 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: in a position and you know, to compete, uh for 619 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: that NFC East title in a playoff spot, so let's 620 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: see if they can finish the deal. And you know, 621 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: they've been through adversity, lost their quarterback and still in 622 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: this position. Other guys like John Madden like doesn't like 623 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: to say, but other guys stepped up. Yeah, stepped up 624 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: where they've been. Yeah, you'll need to step up there. 625 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: So you know, the other guys are playing played well 626 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: during that stretch, and they got a lot a lot 627 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: of guys got experience, more experienced, So you know, they 628 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: put themselves in a position to make this run. But 629 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: the next three games are critical. Two on the road, 630 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: Green Bay, then Minnesota. Minnesota's pretty good, y'all. Ye. Then 631 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: they go to Washington, uh this week uh so, and 632 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: then they then they got the Giants at home. So 633 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: this stretch coming up is going to be very critical 634 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: for this team. Nate, what concerns you most about what 635 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,959 Speaker 1: area I would ask concerns you most about this team? 636 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: As you start looking forward now I just believe this 637 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: right here, that and I time possession, time of possession. 638 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: We have to capture that because it's gonna always come 639 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: back to that defense. Your head coach said that it's 640 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: a critical point, and I'm beating. I'm just beating on them. 641 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: I don't want it. Yeah, I don't want it. At 642 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: the end of this year, you know. Uh, our guys 643 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: are beat up because they're tired, you know, and and 644 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: it ran out of gas. And I've seen it happen. 645 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: I've seen it happen to the your Ravens, where their 646 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: defense just was a little bit older. This is a 647 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: young defense. I ain't worry about running out of youth 648 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: with gas, but just being getting beat up, you know. 649 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: So because the last team forty nine runs, they refused 650 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: to stop running, and that beat our team up. They 651 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: need this, They need this, boy, So that one area 652 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: I worry about it. And then can the office the 653 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: line continue to stay physical. Can if the office continue 654 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: to stay physical and they have some type of balance. 655 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: But I do know, Drew, I do know chopping it's 656 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: gonna come some games. But you're gonna throw that rock. 657 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, so they're gonna have to be better 658 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: pass blockers in the second half too, don't have to 659 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: be definitely better pass blockers. The number is to two 660 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: with two passing touchdowns on Sunday. Dak Prescott now has 661 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: forty five career multi touchdown passing games, which moves him 662 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: past Danny White for the third most multi touchdown games 663 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,959 Speaker 1: by a Cowboys quarterback. When you look at four Drew, 664 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: when you look at Dak Prescott, what impresses you most 665 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: about him and what he is going to have to 666 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: do to help lead this football team if they are 667 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: to go where they want to go, and that's to 668 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year. I guess the number one 669 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: thing is he's a winner. You know, he's got that 670 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: winning attitude. Then you go from there to his leadership, 671 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: and then you go from there to his athletic ability. 672 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: You have all those three things going. You got a 673 00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback, you know, running your football team. So 674 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 1: you know that just continue to improve, get better and better, 675 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: and you know he will. You know how conscientious he 676 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: is about his position and where he is. He knows 677 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: exactly he's the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and what 678 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: all comes with that, and he embraces that most guys 679 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: going one on all that extra so you know that 680 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: they call it distractions, but that embraces that and the 681 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 1: other and the guys on the team listen to him, 682 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: all right. They know he's a quality person. And when 683 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: you got a guy like that leading your football team, 684 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: you gotta ship you got a chance. What we gotta do, 685 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: like Nate said, protect them, keep them healthy. I think 686 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: in situations where you know he might run the football, 687 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: got to get down and stuff, you know, and understand 688 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: his value to the team, you know, and uh, continue 689 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. He got, you know, from sitting 690 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: out all those weeks. And then he plays. You know, 691 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: he played okay when game he came back against Detroit, 692 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: but then the next game he got better. So he's 693 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: gonna continue to get better as he plays more and more. Shot, 694 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: we saw last year Matthew Stafford help of talented Los 695 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams team win a Super Bowl? Is Dak Presscott 696 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: good enough? And this version of Dak Presscott good enough 697 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 1: to help this team win a Super Bowl this season? 698 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think he is. I mean, look, I 699 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 1: mean the Rams won three playoff games by nine points total. 700 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: You gotta win games like that, man. But I mean, 701 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: how much of like good fortune do you have to 702 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: get to win three games by nine points total? I mean, 703 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: things got to go your way. They had to have 704 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: a dropped interception in the NFC Championship game to even 705 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: make the Super Bowl. Yeah, so you've got to find 706 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: ways to capitalize those mistakes that the other team makes. 707 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: But he's absolutely good enough to win the Super Bowl. 708 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: There's a dozen quarterbacks or fifteen quarterbacks in the league 709 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: that you could say are good enough that. I don't 710 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: mean they're gonna do it every year. Sure, there's there's 711 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: there's probably two guys are gonna do it every that 712 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: are gonna be the running every year right now, and 713 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: that's Josh and Allen and and Patrick Mahomes and everybody 714 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: else is gonna be like, Okay, well, let's have our 715 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: career year, let's have our defense step up that year, 716 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: and we'll take our chances. But yeah, like, there's no 717 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: doubt that in any given year, Dak can lead this 718 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,919 Speaker 1: team to a title. I don't think there's any question 719 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: about that. Well, you think about some of these other 720 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: teams and the quarterbacks they're counting on. Yeah, okay, how 721 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: about the Jones is uh in New England and the Jets, 722 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: you know they're down. Trevor Lawrence is you know, up 723 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: and down. He didn't look like he's improving much. The 724 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: quarterback we played against uh Josh Fields justin fields, justin fields. 725 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: You know, Trey Lance is hurt now. But you know 726 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: what I mean, We're lucky to have what we have 727 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: at that position. When you look around even quarterback in 728 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: uh In with the Giants, you know, he's up and down. 729 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. And so look at the Ridskins situation. You 730 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: know they play Carson Wentz. You know, you know you 731 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: couldn't start from my grandson's high school teams snap, start 732 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: from this grand high school. That's not that's not gonna catch. 733 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: That's Frisco Emerson. I'm gonna shout out. They're only eight 734 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: and one in there first year high school football. Okay, 735 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: they go and put it out there so far on 736 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: the season. But we're blessed to have Dak a quarterback. 737 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: Let's ride him and put the people around him, keeps 738 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: arounding him with the quality players so that we could 739 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 1: take advantage of what we have there.

It happened during I believe before the 765 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: season started, maybe a little bit during the season, but 766 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,240 Speaker 1: you had a chance to sit down with your fellow 767 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: eighty eight club members in ceede Lamb, Michael Irvin and yourself. 768 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 1: Take us through that moment.

But anyway, it was the first time 778 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: we all got together, the four of us. Uh. When 779 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: I you know, when Michael was annointed with that number, 780 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: he said Drew. Uh, they want me to wear the number. 781 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: What do you think? I said, Michael, it's not my number. 782 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: But if you do wear it, don't do well what 783 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: I did do more than that, you know. So that's 784 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: how we kept passing it on and Dad's come, don't 785 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,400 Speaker 1: do what Michael did or Drew did do more than that. 786 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: Now CD's turn. But we had you know, it's great 787 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,799 Speaker 1: to get together and the fellowship to talk, uh, and 788 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: to let CD know what it means to be in 789 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: this special club, uh, the ad a club, and what 790 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 1: it means to wear that number. Now CD admitted it. 791 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: He didn't want that number, Okay, he admitted you know. 792 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: But now that he's got it, I think he's embracing 793 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: where he is with it and understands the history of 794 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 1: it and is trying to live up to what it's 795 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: all about. And so but getting together it was great. 796 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: The best part, you know, you come up with a 797 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: thirty minute, thirty seconds or a minute commercial, you know, 798 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: but the best part was the outtakes and stuff. Man, 799 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 1: we had a ball. We had a blast. They're just 800 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 1: joking and uh, having a good time and fellowshipping in 801 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 1: all that. So it was good. It was yeah.

At the end of the commercial 804 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: that seth was cut. Yeah, yeah, don't bounce Mortar. I 805 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:50,879 Speaker 1: made my first three years in the league. I heard 806 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: that greater comes later, Greater comes later, and you got 807 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: choice coming. We didn't make no money. We didn't make 808 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: I did want to ask you before we get out 809 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,799 Speaker 1: of here on this evening too. For those that don't know, 810 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: what does it mean to be an eighty eight? What 811 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: is that singular characteristic or mindset that is becoming of 812 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: all eighty eights in your mind? Well, there's a lot 813 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 1: of things. You know, CD showed where that one game 814 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: he came across and dropped that pass, then came back 815 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,439 Speaker 1: later in the game and made the players to help 816 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,839 Speaker 1: us win the game. That's a big part of what 817 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 1: the ady eights are about. Mental toughness, you know, having 818 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: that heart even if you have a mistake, use that 819 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 1: to motivate you to come back out there on the 820 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: field and try to do something to help the team win, 821 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: to overcome that mistake. And then you know, just being 822 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 1: a quality individual, a team player and taking advantage of 823 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: every opportunity that comes your way, but knowing when the 824 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: game is on the line, you got to be the man, 825 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,479 Speaker 1: all right, that's what it is. You know, we didn't 826 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: have no go to receiver back in the day or 827 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 1: number one receiver, and we broke the huddle the defensive 828 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: note if Tony Hill is going to be the number 829 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 1: one or me or Butch but in that final two 830 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: minutes coming ye. Michael Irvin was the same way with 831 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 1: Ady eight and Dad's the same way with the opportunities 832 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: he had. But that's what CD has to do. Understand that, 833 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 1: and I think he does. And uh, you know, we 834 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: told him, don't be messed up. Don't ain't too many 835 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 1: guys in the league getting commercials at this age, so 836 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: you gotta keep carrying. Nate. You obviously played with one 837 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: of the Ady eights and Michael Irvin. For those that 838 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: don't know, what made Michael special in that locker room 839 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,320 Speaker 1: because he could talk to everybody. He had a connection 840 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 1: with everybody offense, line, defens line, quarterback. Why I received 841 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: was a DBS. He could walk into anybody's hotel during 842 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 1: the game and in trically be a part of it. 843 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: He understood the game, He understood the people that he 844 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 1: was dealing with. Whether it was black, whether his wife hispanic, 845 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. A woman could have stepped than him 846 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: been playing, and Mike would have found a way to 847 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: get into her mind, in her heart. That's Mike man. 848 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 1: He was. Troy was the man. He's still back that 849 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: he did what he had to do well when he 850 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: came trying to pull everybody together. That was a playmaker man, 851 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: which is very interesting because you don't necessarily hear that 852 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: a lot from wide receivers and not to know that 853 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: he had that kind of quality to be able to 854 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 1: do so. I was captain. You know, that guy pulled 855 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 1: us together. I know what that situation was. But yeah, 856 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 1: that's part of the club too. CD will be a 857 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: captain before he leaves here. We're talking about Mike. Most 858 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 1: also didn't have seventeen brothers and sisters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 859 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 1: you've got to know how to deal with I mean, yeah, 860 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,320 Speaker 1: that's seventeen different personality, that's right. And he had he 861 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 1: has a unic ability. He walks into any room, any 862 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,360 Speaker 1: room in America, and and he is one of the 863 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: three owners of that room at point and and and 864 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 1: so you and so it's dead. That's the way it is, 865 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean, and there's a personality that goes with it. 866 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 1: Proud of Mike Man for his wife after football, what 867 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:05,359 Speaker 1: he's doing. I mean, he's really good on TV. He's 868 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: really good and doing a great job and just representing 869 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,720 Speaker 1: the ad eight because every time they see him on TV, 870 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 1: they're thinking about the eighty eight club. Got a couple 871 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 1: of minutes left before we get out here. What are 872 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 1: you up to these days as a Pro Football Hall 873 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 1: of Famer ambassador to the game of football?

But you know, 877 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: still getting opportunities for personal appearances and things like that, 878 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of it came through once you get 879 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame.
