Six times to 79 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: be exact, the Pro Bowl roster came out yesterday and 80 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: not one single Dallas Cowboy was on the roster. No 81 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence or Mary Cooper, nobody, nobody there. I think no. 82 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: I think there were what four four teams that had 83 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: seven guys um and no Dallas Cowboys. What what does 84 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: that say about this team? It's been thirty years, the 85 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: thirty years, right, thirty years. It's the first time it's 86 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: happened in thirty years that no Dallas Cowboys has been 87 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: on this on the Pro Bowl roster? What what? What? 88 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: What does that even matter? I mean doesn't matter the 89 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, know, but what it does, Okay, 90 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: it does matter. It does matter, man, because what what? 91 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: What is telling the Dallas Cowboys and it's faithful even 92 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: though we notice that Martin's all everything and we know 93 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: that a Mark Cooper can be It tells the rest 94 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: of the league and everybody else and the players on 95 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: this team, how are you falling to the point where 96 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: even your glamour, it's fell off, your glamour. The Cowboys 97 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: normally could get a guy in there just because of 98 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: cowboy name recognition. The glamour, the gleam is gone. That's 99 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: what it's saying I'll tell you what, Nate, that's a 100 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: good point. It is deep, and that's a good point 101 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: because think about it. You got flexed out of an 102 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: afternoon a night game for the first time since I 103 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: can remember. I've been here seventeen years, and I don't 104 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: usually beget flexed into the night games, no matter how 105 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: bad we are. We got flexed out for the Browns 106 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: and the Giants. We got flexed. Now you don't have 107 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Now you don't Yeah, now you don't have any guys 108 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: making the Pro Bowl. Like you you said it, Nate. 109 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: The glamour is the shiny object is kind of the light. 110 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to say the lights dimming, because I mean, 111 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: it's still the Dallas Cowboys. They're still the Dallas Cowboys. 112 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: But I mean you gotta a little bit confirmed. They 113 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: they're not. No, they're not. See one. And I talk 114 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: about this arrogance two or three times a year. The arrogance. 115 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: I lived in Florida, the Miami Dolphins, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 116 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: the New I got to go to some teams. I 117 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: gotta go through some cities before I physically get to Dallas. 118 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: All I knew when I was growing up when I 119 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: decided to build Dallas Cowboys was we were better than everybody. 120 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: And for those years, it was truly for twenty something years, 121 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: but I'm growing up. We were always in the playoffs 122 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: and we were always better than everybody. And we had 123 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: a short period of time before I got here where 124 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: the gleam had fell off of us, and to the 125 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: point where they even hurt our city. And mister Jones 126 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: came back in and reshined us, rebuffed us, hit us 127 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: on like make boots, Papa Pa popped us back. Okay, 128 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: well we ain't. I don't care. How are you popping shine? Now? 129 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: We ain't that. Yeah, we're Dallas Cowboys the business world, 130 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,119 Speaker 1: and we got on shirts and we're promoting, but people 131 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: ain't running to the store. Let's say we was nine 132 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: and seven on it. Really in the playoffs, you would 133 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: see a difference and we would have players in the 134 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. I promise you m direct correlation. Man. We 135 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: ain't popping them all. And it pains me to say 136 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: that because I am one of those arrogant Dallas Cowboy fans. 137 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: How do you get it back? Is it as simple 138 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: as winning? Winning? W I N W I N put 139 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: another in, put another, I in an n G and 140 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: you got in that posture in winnings and then we'll 141 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: be back. What does it say to you, Jesse, no 142 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: Pro bowlers, first time in thirty years? Nate said at all? 143 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: Nate said it all. I think he was He was 144 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: dead on. From a player perspective, you know, people sometimes 145 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: ask about does being snuff from the Pro Bowl matter? 146 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: And it does. It does for a multitude of reasons, 147 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: one being your your pockets right. Not only do you 148 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: get a bonus from going to the Pro Bowl, but 149 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: also a lot of these players have um kind of 150 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: escalators in their contracts that if you if you're all 151 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: Pro or Pro Bowl or you get a this amount 152 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: of bonus, you know, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, 153 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand, whatever it may be. And then at 154 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: the end of your career, when you're trying to talk 155 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: about if you're of that status Hall of Fame, Pro 156 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Bowls matter, that that counts, that counts. You know, if 157 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: you don't have, yeah, if you don't have a bunch 158 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl rings, it's gonna sat looking at how 159 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: many Pro Bowls has he went to? You know, how 160 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: many times has he been all pro. So while it 161 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: may not seem like you know a lot on the surface, 162 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: when you do deep, you look at a player like 163 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: I got like a friend of mine. Matthew schlater played 164 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots.

Like like guys can 167 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: buy houses and payoff houses off Pro Bowl bonuses. So 168 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: they want, they want that, they want that, they want 169 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: want to say that I am a Pro Bowl. I 170 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: want my work to be recognized right first or foremost. 171 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: I worked really hardest off heason, I sacrificed a lot. 172 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: I went through an entire season. I want my worth 173 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: to be I want my my all that I've done 174 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: in the offices, all my hard work and all my 175 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: sacrifice to be to be recognized with the Pro Bowl selection. 176 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: Then you're talking about you know, are there some that 177 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: have it in their contract where if you make the 178 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. I think Eric Fischer from the Chiefs made 179 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: an extra five hundred thousand dollars because he was like 180 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl. Well, you think you think you 181 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: think it matters to him a half a million dollars 182 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: to get for someone to say you've been to the 183 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Yeah you didn't write it does right And 184 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: like I said, at the end of your career, you know, 185 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: has this guy made two Pro Bowls or five Pro 186 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Bowls or three Pro Bowls or whatever it may be. 187 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: It has a significant impact when you're trying to fight 188 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: for those postseason accolades. You know all be at the 189 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: the trip to Canton, Ohio. Because I tell people when 190 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: when you're first breaking into the league and nobody knows 191 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: who you are but the scouts, you know, that's that 192 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: that is what when your agent come back to you 193 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: with that first rookie contract. I'm talking about a guy 194 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: that was drafted either lower a free agent like me 195 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: and myself, like with me and Jesse, that when he 196 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: come back and said, yeah, man, I was able to 197 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: get if you make the Pro Bowl in the next 198 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: two years, or you make this it this is it 199 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: your your your agent is is in there fighting for 200 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: every tooth and nail because you know he gets a 201 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: percentage of that and if you want wind up making 202 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: a couple of Pro Bowls in your rookie contract, that 203 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: makes him look even better than he uses that for 204 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: the next guy, sool and I don't touch it. The 205 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: players test is everybody concern and it makes the owners 206 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: proud to Now. Don't don't think these owners they got 207 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: a little arrogance to him. They they're proud to they God, 208 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: I'll probably somebody the next owners mean, they're like, wow, Jerry, 209 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: what thirty years Arlie the Cowboys? No, mo oh, they're 210 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: gonna tease each other. Yeah, talking about the owners everybody. 211 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's different now, Jesse, you can speak more 212 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: to the now. Nate, I want you to speak more 213 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: to back when you played. But Jesse, I mean Jerry 214 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: seems to have a special bond with his his elite players, 215 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: the players that he signs to the big money contracts, 216 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: because they seem to have a relationship with him well 217 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: after they leave the team, well after they're out of 218 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: football as a player. Does it bother you? Does it 219 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: bother you for the owner and for ownership the people 220 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: that pay your checks? Does it does it make you? 221 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if ashames the word or does it 222 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: make you? I would be mad, Like if I was 223 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: a play I would be mad because of the way 224 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: that it makes the organization look the way that it 225 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: makes the owner that's put faith in me and my teammates. Look, whatever, 226 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: you get flexed out of a game, you you don't 227 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: have anybody make the Pro Bowl like it would piss 228 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: me off. Do players do they have I guess, pride 229 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: towards ownership or is it all about is it really 230 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: just kind of about the other guys in the room 231 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: or does it store that? Okay, all right, Jesse, what 232 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: do you think? I got a story? Oh to me, 233 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: we we live in a brand society. That's where we're 234 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: at today in football. It's all about the eye brand, 235 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: the me brand, and so I think it's very very 236 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: rare that you have players who are concerned about the organization, ownership, 237 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: that type of thing. It's it's very look at me, 238 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: how you know, see me sell? You know, buy my jerseys. Hey, 239 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: go to my go to my RL and get my merch. Uh, 240 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: you know all that kind of thing that we live 241 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: in that day and time. Now you know where, get 242 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: my sunglasses, you know, get my whatever it is, Hey 243 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: by my strand get my what. It's a me society 244 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: and everything when it comes to and I'm not mad 245 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: at players for doing this because we've finally come to 246 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: a point where we've been able to capitalize off our 247 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: likeness because teams have been doing it four years. Like 248 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: we look at these, we look at these, you know, 249 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: explosive contracts. Oh ten years, almost five hundred million dollars 250 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: and he has one hundred million dollars. Well, don't think 251 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: for one second that if a team is willing to 252 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: give someone a hundred million dollars guaranteed or a half 253 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: of half a billion dollars guaranteed, that they ain't making 254 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: triple that. So it's always like, yeah, we're gonna give 255 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: you that, because what you bring quadruples that. So owners 256 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: and all that are always going to be able to 257 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: make money. So I don't think there's any players today 258 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: that's more that's worried about, you know, more so the 259 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: ownership and being upset about that kind of stuff. It's like, listen, 260 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: how can I maximize and monetize me Nate story. I 261 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: remember one time when we first stopped building ourselves back 262 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: into a team to be respected, we had like one 263 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: or two Pro Bowls I think with Mike Irving and 264 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: Emmett you know, and Jimmy Knew because we worked hard 265 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: that years to get back to respectability, and so he 266 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: walked in there. He knew, fellas, I've heard the buzzing. 267 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I've heard the buzzing. You know, a lot of y'all 268 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: pissed off you're not Pro bowlers are all pro. Whatever 269 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: it will come. Just keep working. See back in the day, 270 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, you cared about these type of things, Like 271 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: you said, it was part of your contract, it was 272 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: part of who you was, and it said a lot 273 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: to the NFL. You know that, Hey, the Cowboys are back. 274 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: They got these many Pro Bowlers. They got guys that 275 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: reserving of the Pro Bowl. Even back in the day, 276 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: it's like you had to be really voted in and 277 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: if a guy wasn't gonna play, which was we didn't 278 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: have as much as it is now. You know, we 279 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: didn't have like eight different linebackers like the original linebacker 280 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: that's get picked. You got nine guys. They may get 281 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: to the ninth guy before they finally got to want 282 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: to go to the Pro Bowl, sou but for you 283 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: not to have that initial guy, and that's what should 284 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: all ways count. It's an initial guy. They got too many, 285 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: you know guys that this is our fourth linebacker and 286 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: he's a pro Bowler. No, he's not. He's just somebody 287 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: that was happy to play in the game. So it 288 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: was some pride when we played, it was some pride. 289 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: And now we messed around for the first two or 290 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: three quarters, but that fourth quarter everybody tried to try 291 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: to buckle down and get the fans what they really 292 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: came there for, and that's the exciting game. But these guys, now, man, 293 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: I mean, this is probably the best thing the Covert 294 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: that has done is canceled this game because this name 295 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: was a joke. This thing. They should just have a 296 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl voting. They should go there for a week, hangout, 297 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: play flag football, meet the fans, and come on back home. Yeah. 298 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: If anybody you think anybody got snubbed, I think, in 299 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: my opinion, the only guy you could have argued for 300 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: would have been to Marcus Lawrence. I think he's one 301 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: of the you know, top rated, if not the top 302 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: rated defensive end. And the end, the only person that 303 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: got snubed was Zach Martin. Let's be come on now, 304 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: we're keeping it real, right, we ain't drunk. The only 305 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: person that got snubbed Pro Football Focus for getting them. 306 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: They like a high school ranking deal. I can pay 307 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: them to get some rankings. Don't worry about pro football. 308 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: The only person got snubbed, mister Jones told y'all. You know, 309 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: he says, Zeke was Come on, the only guy that 310 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: got snubbed that should be in the Pro Bowl is 311 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: Zach Martin. Now, everybody else, come by, y'all. Brother, all right, Jesse, 312 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: that that coming from an offensive lineman. Do you think 313 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: then anybody got snubbed? No, I'm with I'm with Nate. 314 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: I'm with Nate. Zach Martin's he's all world to me. 315 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: It should be for that all. You know, he missed 316 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: a couple of games this year, but he's the best 317 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: one of the He's not, if not the best, he's 318 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: one of the top two guards and now a little 319 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: bit slash town now he's a little tackle in the 320 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: system in the league. And so for him not to go, 321 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: I always have a snub there. But again, the Cowboys 322 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: have lost some of their luster and and winning matters. 323 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: If this was a winning football team, a team that 324 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: was potentially going to be in the playoffs, like a 325 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: serious contender that that might have, that might have swayed 326 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: some voters to say, no, we gotta get some Cowboys 327 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: in here. But the Cowboys have have have lost a 328 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: little bit of their luster, all right. Well, and as 329 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: much as I like much as I like d Law 330 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: and as well as he played these last few games, Shanny, 331 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: go out there and look at that film. Though it's 332 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: some defensive ends, I'm brought some fire this year. Yeah, 333 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: there's some fire. Yeah. And so I'm not saying he's 334 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: not good enough to be in the Pro Bowl, but 335 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: I sure hope they don't vote him in there as 336 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: one of them six or eight different guys, because to me, 337 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: that'll be a slap in the face. You know, I'm 338 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: the eighth guy you picked out the seven guys turned 339 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: me down. Yeah, I think you. I think you great 340 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: point the defensive end, there's some there's some monsters out 341 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: there this year. You can say the same thing at 342 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: wide receiver, like Amari Cooper is having he's having a 343 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: good year. He's gonna be over a thousand yards for 344 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: the season. But if you go look at the list 345 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: of wide receivers just in the NFC or NFC NAFC, 346 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy how many good wide receivers 347 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: there are this year. So you know, I don't even 348 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: think you could make a case for a Mari you know, 349 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: maybe d law Zach Martin. Yes, But other than that, 350 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't think you can be mad about what happened. 351 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: So all right, let's take our first break.

Uh. Former Hall of Fame pass rusher 403 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: Kevin Green passed away at the age of fifty eight.

Yeah yeah 406 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: he was. Let me be honest here, man, Kevin Green 407 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: was emotional, upstanding, hard playing I know Jesse because you know, 408 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: laughing because of what I said. You know, I think 409 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at Kevin Green. I'm laughing and I'm 410 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: laughing at night. He was very specific with no, I 411 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: blocked him, like, no, I didn't play against him. I 412 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: blocked him, right, Okay, Yeah, I'm not laughing at the situation. 413 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: This This cat was up beat. He was passionate about 414 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: the game. I remember when we was both working for 415 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: ESPN National and we was up and um in Bruce. 416 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: We had to get up early in the morning, six 417 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: o'clock getting prepared for the show, and I heard somebod 418 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: across the way. We're in this big hotel lobby and 419 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: he's across the way. Well, this guy and this guy 420 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: and this guy. He's just going over talking and I 421 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: didn't know who who voice it was. I could kind 422 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: of understand who he was, like that sounded like Kevin Green. 423 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: For fifteen minutes he out us, speaking loud, hollering, getting 424 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: his point across rehearsing for the show. But I look that, said, 425 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 1: can hold up. I want to make sure I'm right, 426 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: So we get in the cab. He studied rehearsing, and 427 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: you don't know when we got to the to the house. 428 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: I hope they'll ask him a different question. But he 429 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: prepared because he was passing it about getting out what 430 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: he wanted to say. And that's how he played the 431 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: football game we played against him against the Stillers, and 432 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: we and Larry Brown's got the interceptions at the at 433 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: the end of the game, all we heard was Kevin Green, 434 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: you guys are He ain't saying it's nice and I'm saying, 435 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: you guys are lucky. We were coming, We were beating you, 436 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: We dominantue immates. You are Oh. He was a passionate 437 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: guy and as I got to know him off the field, 438 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: and he's coaching in Green Bay and doing things the 439 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: same passion. He's a passionate guy. Man. He was a 440 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: hell of a football player and much loved him and 441 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: his family. That's from real, all right, Kevin Green R 442 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: I P all right, coming off of let's talk about 443 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: special teams. Since we got Jesse on the show. Jesse 444 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: likes to talk about special teams. How do you guys 445 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: feel about the special teams? Coming off Ceedee Lamb's kick 446 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: returned for a touchdown. That wasn't the probably the decision 447 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: that coaches wanted to see him make, but he scored 448 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I know Tony Pollard was a little shaky 449 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: in the kick game the beginning of the year. Outside 450 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: of the bad play calls on the fake punts, um 451 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: they're tied for third and kick return average twenty six 452 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: point six. They're tied for ninth and punt returns at 453 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: ten yards per punt return, and they're eleventh and opponent 454 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: kickoff returns at twenty one point one and fifth and 455 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: punt return yards seventy eight. What do you think about them? 456 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: Do you like the way they're looking? I think it's 457 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: a major improvement. Why. Here's why I say that. Remember 458 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, we talked about this 459 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: on this very show, where we weren't getting any type 460 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: of advantage from our special teams. All of our starts 461 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: were minus twenty yards. Our opponents average start was thirty 462 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: five yards. I mean, so we were looking at we 463 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: were missing field goals early in the year and in 464 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: despite I know everyone's gonna hold over the head that 465 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: that fake punt that didn't work out, but this team 466 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: has it is seen as special teams get better, give 467 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: them give their team a better starting field. Percentage not 468 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: allow teams to start in such great field percentage. And 469 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: and that's those hidden yards that we talk about. Special 470 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: teams is never a thing that people talk about on 471 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: a day to day basis. It's not sexy. Most people 472 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: don't know about it. But there's a ton of hidden 473 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: yards that's in special teams that you're saying, Okay, if 474 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: I get you know, even talking about a punt return, 475 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: if I can average ten yards a punt return, that's 476 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: a first down. I've saved my team the strife of 477 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: having to get another first down simply because I was 478 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: able to advance the ball ten yards from the spot 479 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: where I caught it. So there's a lot of different 480 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: things that comes into the play of special teams. Of course, 481 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: you want to see the trick players work when they 482 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: when they're called. You want to make sure that you're 483 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: consistent on the you know, extra points and field goals. 484 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is that hidden yard is that 485 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: you get in punts and uh and and punts, punt returns, 486 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: kickoff and kickoff returns. Being able to back teams up 487 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: to make them have to travel the length of the field. 488 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: Because earlier in the year we were having to travel 489 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: seventy five eighty yards eighty five yards on a consistent basis, 490 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: and that is just it's not realistic. It's not really 491 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: the thing that you're gonna have to travel eighty percent 492 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: of the times eighty yards to score points, because you're 493 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: just not when you when you when it's sixty five, 494 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: when it's fifty. Those type of advantages help your offense, 495 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: help your team, and it even helps your defense. Because 496 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: if I get the ball and I only have sixty 497 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: five yards to go in the event that I have 498 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: to punt it, now I back them up, and now 499 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: they have eighty eighty five yards to go. But when 500 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: I get it minus twenty, minus fifteen, and I have 501 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: to travel even when I punt, they're getting the ball 502 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: in relatively respective field positions at their thirty five or 503 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: their forty, they're forty five. Now they don't have to 504 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: travel as far to get field goals and in the 505 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: field goals to touchdown. In any event that they have 506 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: to punt, they leave us back, They leave us backed up. 507 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: So I think this team has made market improvements throughout 508 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: the year to a point where this is what we 509 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: wanted to see it. We want to see ourselves in 510 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: a position to have that field position go in our favor. Well, 511 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: all right, before spoken, there you go. That's our special 512 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: teams guy. Speaking of special teams guys, shout out to 513 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: Danny McCrae last night for Jordan the show good times 514 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: on Cowboys Crazy. How's that mean when it comes when 515 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: it comes to our offense? What's he think? That's all 516 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Let's move on, Shannon, 517 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: I know, give give Tony Pollock more reps or give 518 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: Zeke more reps? Which one did he talk? Which one 519 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: do you think about? No, No, we're not you if 520 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: you didn't listen and pay attention last not to your 521 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: four hearts on on on the podcast. We're not gonna 522 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: share it with you. Jesse, get off and we'll talk 523 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: to the fans about it. You get off and walk away, 524 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: getting in your car and going back to the WiFi. Nah. No, No, 525 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: what he said was it was more to the Keller 526 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: Moore thing. Else. He's still learning and and since the 527 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: Philly game he's gotten much better. And uh, and my 528 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: question is when you got great players like Amari Cooper, 529 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: like uh, like Ceedee Lamb, like these guys. Get them 530 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: the ball more in rough situations, in special situations, get 531 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: them the ball more. And because it's no doubt and 532 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: in certain games with certain teams, Okay, who Aaron Rodgers 533 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball too? He could be third and fifteen? 534 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: Who who the ball going to? We know it's going 535 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: to the Vante Adams. Ain't gonna guess, ain't gonna play 536 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: with it, ain't gonna think about it when they need 537 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: that big run coming out of the backfield, of that 538 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: big catch coming out of backfield. We ain't giving nobody 539 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: missus Jones anger, get up all see your horses, and 540 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, don't have your your your big dog standing 541 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: out there. Hey man, I make trent million dollars, but 542 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure how we're I can block? Well, don't you receive? 543 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, all right, let's take 544 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: our last break when we come back. Two things I 545 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: want to talk about. Jordan Lewis had a pretty darn 546 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: good game this past week coming back. Has he done 547 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: enough to deserve a contract with the Dallas Cowboys next season? 548 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: And yes, seven, mister j Wallas more, we got some 549 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: coming back. Mister Jones had an interesting quote on the 550 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: fan our flagship stationed, and I don't really know what 551 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: the hell it means, but I want to read it 552 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,479 Speaker 1: out loud just because it's it's it's fun. And I 553 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: think Nate, in all of his wisdom, he's very philosophical. 554 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: If you ever really talked to Nate off the air, 555 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: and he can he can turn something, he can turn 556 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: nothing into something. So I want to see if what 557 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: mister Jones, you just something? You just frowned. Look at 558 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: that face Yea said, Oh my god, really, oh what 559 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: he said?

So okay, I'm gonna 616 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: read this quote that Jerry had on The Fan, and 617 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: this was about his negotiating philosophy, and Nate, you've been 618 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: in the room negotiating with mister Jones. So I want 619 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: you to try to interpret this for me and tell 620 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: me what this means. And if I can, I might 621 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: stumble through this. So bear with me. So here we go. 622 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: This is from Jerry Jones on one O five three 623 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: The Fan on his negotiating philosophy. I call it the 624 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: light theory. When you walk out of a room, you 625 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: ought to turn the light off if there's nobody in it, 626 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: because all you're doing is keeping a light on for 627 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: the rats and the mice. There's nobody in there. To 628 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: see the light, so you turn that light off. What 629 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: you do is, on every negotiation, you turn the light off. 630 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: Because you may not think you need that light in 631 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: the room when you can't afford it. You will need it. 632 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: There's no question you will need it at a certain 633 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: time in the future. So you negotiate every time you 634 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: can for the benefit of having more available for the 635 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: players around the very player you're talking to. Now, that's 636 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: not directed in any player. That's just a negotiation. That's real. 637 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: That's not bs. That's a very real thing. That's like 638 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: an ankle injury. That's like depreciation and talent. That's very 639 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: much a part of what goes on when you're trying 640 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: to put a team together. Anybody, make that make sense 641 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: to me? I mean, I just wanted to read that 642 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: out loud because it a lot there. Okay, no, all right, 643 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: move on, I'm okay. Well, yeah, let's try to make 644 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: some sense of this, how to make some trying to 645 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: make some sense of you know what. Let's not because 646 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell Joey's talking about. I 647 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: don't know what he's talking about. What prompted them to 648 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: say to give that speech? I don't know Kurt gave 649 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: that to me, and I don't wait on Kurt tomorrow 650 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: with his other story. He can tell us just from 651 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: too Let's hold on to it. Okay, we'll hold on 652 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, yeah, let's hold on to it. I 653 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: just wanted to read it out loud because it was 654 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: fun and it didn't make sense to me, but I 655 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: like it. Maybe Chris can actually pull the interview and 656 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: we can listen to it in real time, So tune 657 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: in tomorrow. Sorry to stop the showdown with that. Jordan 658 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: Lewis great game, Great game Sunday. He seems to play 659 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: better when he's got pieces around him. Cheeto was back, 660 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: Diggs was back. He seems he seems like he's back 661 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: on track. Do you guys want to see him back 662 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: next year? Does he deserve a contract this year? Here 663 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: for me? And I heard one of the guys on 664 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: the fans say, this isn't made so much sense. Broughtiston 665 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: had a gallon and I can't think his name one 666 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: of the major magazines. Yeah, he made so much sense. 667 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: I was like, this is smart. He say, how are 668 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: we gonna judge these coaches with all these injuries in 669 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: the disaster that was there, especially within the first eight games. 670 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: All of course mccarthur was left with was trying to 671 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: manage a disaster that's like a major storm hitting your city. 672 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: We can't judge the mirror and all of these people 673 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: on what great job he did on balancing the budget 674 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: when you didn't have no budget because everything was toe up. 675 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: So I agree with this young man that Jesse just 676 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: woke up. Coach McCarthy managed their disaster this year. So 677 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: the players fall fall into that part of the disaster 678 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: where let's some of these guys we gotta keep this 679 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: to see is what you thought before they started? It's correct, 680 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: because yeah, so many, so many injuries everywhere on this team. 681 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: To some of these guys you got to hold on to. 682 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 1: And I don't know if lewis one of those guys 683 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: and how they felt before this thing fell apart. But 684 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: what you got to do is continue to play this 685 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: coming game in the next game with the same intensity 686 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: and smartness that he played these last few with. Here's 687 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: the Here's the plus and the minus for Jordan lewis. 688 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: The plus is Jordan Lewiser plays a position that is 689 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: needed in the National Football League. He puys Nickels Nickel 690 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 1: slot corner, and what the the league is playing football now? 691 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: Three wide receiver set, four wide receiver set or flex 692 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: tight end. Who's really a wide receiver. You need guys 693 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: who can play nicol slot corner, and you need depth 694 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: at that position. Most teams are going to carry five, six, 695 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 1: maybe seven depending on their scheme. DB's a game a year. 696 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: So for a guy like Jordan Lewis, the gift is 697 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: that he plays a position and he plays it well enough. 698 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: He's not a pro bowler, but he's not he's not garbage. 699 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: He plays it well enough that he will always be 700 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: gainfully employed. The curse is that now you have to 701 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: try to negotiate with a new coaching staff who doesn't 702 00:40:54,120 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: have who doesn't have any relationship with you, meaning they 703 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: didn't draft you, they didn't help you build. They just 704 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: got here this year and your year was up and 705 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: down this year. So you're kind of being judged, to 706 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: Nate's point, in this chaotic situation and a contract year. 707 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: It always helps if you have the prolific numbers to 708 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: walk in there like the big joker and say here's 709 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: what I am. You pay me. But when you don't 710 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: have those numbers and now you have a coaching staff 711 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: who your defense has been historically bad this year, now 712 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: having to judge who do we keep, who do we 713 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 1: let go, who do we pay. So he's stuck between 714 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: a rock and the hard place. He's stuck between, you know, 715 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: getting a contract here or trying to work out a 716 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: contract here, or potentially going somewhere else, or he may 717 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 1: have to play on a one year deal. So for me, 718 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: I think, I think George Lewis is a guy that 719 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: you try to bring back, but you try to bring 720 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: him back at something that's relatively super friendly to your 721 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: organization because he doesn't have much leverage other than hey, 722 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: I can go play somewhere else, which is true, but 723 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: somewhere else might mean you may you may get picked 724 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: up late, you may be on a league minimum deal. 725 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: And if you can secure yourself for the next two 726 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: or three years with the deal, and it maybe not 727 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: be everything that you want, if you can, if you 728 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: could secure yourself with a deal that gives you some 729 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,919 Speaker 1: solid guaranteed money, right three years, twelve million dollars, maybe 730 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: you get six seven eight million dollars guaranteed. Now, what 731 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: you've done is you secure a job. You're in a 732 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: position where you hope this team is building, is going 733 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: to build around the defense, and you play better when 734 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: you have good players around you, and you know, you 735 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: get your quarterback back and everything now is working in 736 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 1: your favor, and then you're able to come back to 737 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: a table with the franchise that you've been with for 738 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: your entire career and negotiate a deal. But I mean, 739 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: I think I think he's a player that you bring back. 740 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,479 Speaker 1: I do think the turner you try to bring back. 741 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: But if he wants to get you know, spicy, and say, hey, 742 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: you know I'm worth much more than you guys really 743 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: willing to give, then he's not good enough to miss him. 744 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: If he walks, I think he's replaceable. You'd like to 745 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: have him because he's been here, but he hasn't done 746 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: anything to the sense of we need please Jordan Lewis, 747 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: please stay. I think he's a good addition you need 748 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: the depth you find a team friendly deal. But if 749 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: he walks, you tip your cap to him and say, 750 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: thank you for your services here. We appreciate you. We'll 751 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: see you when we see you, Nate. And you know what, 752 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: it's a very it's a very very thin line because 753 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:41,959 Speaker 1: it's a thing live. We've seen We've seen guys. We've 754 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: seen guys, but we said, oh, okay, he all right. 755 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 1: But one key thing you said yes that I grabbed 756 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: on two is around better players, he gets better, so 757 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: he may go to another organization all of a sudden 758 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: would be like this, Anthony hitches wow. If we didn't 759 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: knew that, it's because you got to have better players 760 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: around these guys so they can flourish. That's scared. That's 761 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: what keeps scaring me is the fact that when we're 762 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: gonna start getting these better players, and I hope within 763 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: the next few years, so we can flourish with what 764 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: we have, that the backups play better. Always with greater players. 765 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: I'm correct, absolutely absolutely carry. And I don't know abet 766 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 1: to pay these guys. I can't you know, I can't 767 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: you know. I joke you out ahead, give him a 768 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: couple of hundred, one hundred thousand more. I don't know 769 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: what the going rate for a cornerback or spent a 770 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: slot guy gonna be this year. We don't we you know, 771 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,240 Speaker 1: this is a this is a blind year with with 772 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: with UH with an unstable cap. So he may be 773 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: sitting here that hundred thousand may not be too far fetched. 774 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: You know that, you know that we're laughing about now 775 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,439 Speaker 1: because people are gonna be scared to move.

That 780 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: was the guy that that gave you fits. Who was 781 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: the best player, that you just had his number, that 782 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: when you went up against him, you just you just 783 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: always got the best of him. Really, guy, I used 784 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: to get Danny. He got a sack on me one, 785 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: but I used to handle Danna because he's a fat man. 786 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 1: Anybody that I was a fat man him and and 787 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 1: uh and this brother is no longer with us, the 788 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: big kid from Seattle.
