WEBVTT - Hangin' with the Boys: Beating the Drum 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.920 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:17.759 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club boys flowing out of 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:23.800 the backfield, exploding down the sidelines. He's hanging with the boys, 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.160 presented by Wing Stuff where Flavor gets its wings. Now 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:34.080 your hosts, Nate Newton, Kurt Daniels, Jesse Holley, and Shannon Gross. 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:45.840 It is Victory Monday, and I'm talking serious victory Monday. 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.600 And I gotta say, Alex shaverro last night he said, 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.120 Victory Monday can't be the usual. It needs to be 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:56.400 something special and different. And Alex, I'm afraid you have 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.720 got your wish because this is gonna be different. I 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.360 am at home, sitting in the big boy chair for 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.680 our man Shannon Gross, who is god knows where. Jesse 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.160 is having some technical issues trying to get dial in. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.720 But the star of man, I'm here, I'm here, all right, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.240 he's here here. And of course we've got the star 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.959 of the show, our man Nate Newton, is in studio. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.920 He's ready to roll. So what do you boys think? 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.560 How you guys doing on this Victory Monday? Man, I'm 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.880 saying I'm great man. What is said to five degrees? 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.679 The Frisco is partly clouded. We don't have a big 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.560 screen of whom because we don't have Shannon in his 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:38.400 huge head to reflect it off of a huge head. 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.040 Nice if you guys, you guys are covered from that 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:47.520 beat down last night. I am ecstatic. I think this 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.200 is what we've all been wanting to see. We've seen 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.559 this defense play really well the last couple of weeks, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.800 and we've finally seen this offense kind of get back 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.400 to its original and what we thought they would be 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.120 throughout the entire year. This was, this was what we 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.400 wanted and this is what you should do. Two lesser 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.600 than teams. They had a short week. You know, they 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.000 were missing some guys due to COVID. That's just the 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.040 norm of what the National Football League is right now. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.720 But the one thing that I will say that was 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.959 for me was the most important thing was you know, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.919 Amari came out early in the week and he was 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.200 vocal about, Hey, I need to get the ball more 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.200 like that's just what it is, like, get me the rock. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.480 And he said it so eloquently. But he basically did 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.280 what Keishaw did many many years ago. Throw me to 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.519 dan ball like third downs, throw me to dan ball. 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.240 We got red zo woes. Throw me to dan ball. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.519 In between throw me to Dan ball, and I promise 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.120 you when you throw me the dann ball, everybody else 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.560 will eat as well. We cede Land found his hands 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.400 last night. The old line looked good. We had some 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.760 good verse in the running game. I mean offensively, we 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.079 saw them get back into a groove. But you know what, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.600 as an offensive guy, as a receiver, I still gotta say, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.400 Kurt and and and Nat him and Chris, this is 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.239 still a defensive led team. Without a shout over doubt. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.840 This team is led by the defense. And they showed 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.040 up and they showed out again last night on the 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.120 defensive of the ball. So I am ecstatic. I was 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.359 so happy what I saw last night. It gave me 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.560 a ton of confidence. And now we had to just 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.600 continue that trend heading into January. Yeah, man, you've been 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.880 talking here for a few weeks about need to see 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.760 the complete game. I think you gave him an eight 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:41.360 a few weeks ago. What what what was this? That was? 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.160 That was as the eruption rast last night? Man, that 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.600 that was big time that right there. Man, I just 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.200 saw upset that one young man is not on this 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.680 show because he's the one been needed to see it, 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.760 you know, mister head so large, Shannon Gross is the 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.200 one that needed to see it. Me. I've been, I've been. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.760 You guys know, I've been saying it's coming, it's building. Now. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.240 What I did need was for our receivers not drop 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.280 the ball. I don't need I don't need our receivers 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.960 to drop the ball. That did not happen. We needed 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.000 for our offensive line to be a little bit more consistent. 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.200 That did happen, and uh that quarterback to get something, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.400 miss swag back. We saw a little bit of that. 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.600 So I'm happy they're building. They got a good team 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.159 coming up this week, somebody that is an equal talent. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.640 It'll be a little dog fight because the other team 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.840 need to win. I'm just man, like I said, I'm 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.400 just I'm doing Jess the thing. I'm just beating the desk. Man. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.400 I'm just I'm just happy go ahead on the top 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.480 with Jesse so I can beat the desk. You know 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.360 something else that we saw last night, you know, Dak 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.440 Prescott four rushes for twenty one yards and no it's 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.240 not it's not the Lamar Jackson one hundred yard rushing game, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.080 Kolin Murray busting off a sixty yard run. But what 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.240 it was is we finally saw our quarterback running. Like 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.840 when the pocket breaks down, when things get a little 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.160 bit hey wired, it's okay for you to tuck the 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.440 ball and go get some yards. You know, coming into 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.480 this game, I think he had like four first downs 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.280 via his legs, and he had three of them. He 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.800 had three more last night. So those little things, we're 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.760 not asking Dak to be Lamar Jaskin Jackson. We're not 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.640 asking Dak to be Hell. We're not even asking him 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.840 to be Josh Allen as far as athleticism, right, we're 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.760 just saying, and we're just all screaming, hey bro, when 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.800 that pocket breaks down or that eternal clock goes off 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.240 in your head, tuck that bad boy and go get 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.920 three yards. Right, three positive yards is much better than 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.400 a four yard sack or a four strow down field. Right, 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.520 every time, you don't have to be greedy. He mentioned 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.520 that a couple weeks ago about you know, sometimes I 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.080 get a little bit greedy trying to make the big 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.080 players the knockout blows. But go get go, get that 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.480 four yard run, Go get that three yard run because 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.960 what you do now is you put in the back 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.320 of the mind of those defenders, linebackers, burning backers specifically 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.480 that you know what, he will tuck it and run 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.520 because they haven't seen any remnants of that this year, 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.720 so they're able to play back and coverage more so 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.080 than than not. But when you go out there and 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.600 you show them that, we will go out there and 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.560 throw the ball and we'll run the ball and when 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.520 everything else fails, I will tuck this bad boy and 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.160 go get four or five positive yards. That for me, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:22.880 it was another positive thing to see from him. But 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.800 he had the longest rush for thirty last night. Yeah 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.200 last night. Yeah, I think I think David Hellman had 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.680 written something in a in a mail bag column online 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.280 about Dak's rushing and you know, and he said, you 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.960 don't need a bunch of yards from Dad. If you 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.320 get twenty yards from Dak, that could be three four 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.960 first downs, which moves the chains. That's all you need 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.240 out of him. Like you said, Jesse, that's another threat. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:53.240 That kind of opened things up. Wow, man, Like you said, Jesse, 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.120 that could be another threat. This is good to see, Jess. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.080 I mean, he won't shut ahead me and me and Kurt. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.560 Me and Kurt have been trying to come bring the 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.600 world back. With such a divide in the world, Hurt 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.120 and nir on ourselves to bring you see what my 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.200 shirt says. My shirt says unity, right, Me and Kurt 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.920 had been trying to bring back America one show at 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.440 a time. He's trying to separate us. You always trying 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.240 to suit you got Kurt and I are trying to 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.480 bring back together. You're preaching, and every preaching needs the 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.000 deacon to be able to say take it preaching that is, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.040 that is. I'm just keep going, Kurt. What's your next 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:45.000 question to your pastor? Oh Man? Sticking with Dak, I 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.920 thought overall he looked sharper. I mean, it passes, looked harder. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.200 You know, he's throwing harder. He just had better accuracy. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.920 What happened? What the sudden What was the sudden change? 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.240 Is the guys on the on TV suggested that maybe 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.960 he did find a mechanical thing that he corrected. What 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.600 did you guys see? What was the difference here? The 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:12.400 chance I'm coming around, Okay, I'm gonna give you a chance. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.840 You know, I think I think one of the things 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.560 that they did, um and we I talked about this 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.080 a week or so ago of just sometimes during the season, 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.640 guys go back and they get with their personal trainers 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.320 or whoever they work out with in the off season, 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.920 and they do they do some tune ups, and we 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.280 we we heard that they were doing some ax or 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.080 reps after practice. They initially said that it was, oh, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.079 it was just because practices are shorter, but they made 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.840 an as certain effort to go out there with receivers, 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.199 with quarterbacks, with running backs, the starters Dak and Amari 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.280 and TD and those guys and get some reps after practice. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.640 And again, we all know that Dak has the dackyard 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.760 and he has the big football film his own backyard. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.840 So I'm sure I don't I don't know for sure, 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.160 but I want to say I know for sure that 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.240 he made a fun call and said, listen, I need 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.959 I need some help and called in Tom House or 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.840 whoever it is that he works, Whitney off, He's gonna 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.240 come to the Dackyard and get some more working on 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.559 his mechanics. And I think the way that Keller Moore 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.000 health and was you saw much more up tempo last night, right, 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.160 you saw them saying we're gonna get to the line 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.719 of scrimmage. We're gonna get out there. And a lot 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.559 of his early throws, they were down the field throws, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.760 they were quick out there, thank you, hitches, they were 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.959 things right right over in front of his face. So 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.800 those weren't passes that necessarily you got to have a 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.320 ton of accuracy to connect with. But those are passes 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.200 that when you see them complete, it gives you confidence 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.199 and it gives you a little bit of momentum to 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.800 continue on the progression of the day. Thank you, thank you, 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:49.079 thank you. You know, Jesse is so on point. I mean, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.360 it's amazing how Dak found his swag and Jess has 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.319 found his at the same time. Wow, we called, he 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:02.240 called some people, he called home house. I called my therapist. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.800 So he's been working out. You know, he got he 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.400 got the Dak yard. You know, I got the basement. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.880 So we both been working on with our individual people, 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.120 just trying to get our swag back. That I'm gonna 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:17.440 tell you, this is what's so amazing to me, Jesson, 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.920 to Kurt is the fact that we went out there 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.080 and within the first series offensively and they were gonna 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.760 try a trick play and lose all that yardage. And 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.679 once again, we talked about it last week, what did 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.719 it take to get us going? It's our defense. Can 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:43.720 you believe that Heineke is that his name? Yep? Yeah, 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.800 can you believe he say, you know what, I got 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:51.320 a fifty fifty guy and I'm gonna try Diggs. I'm 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.640 I'm gonna run a fly route and I'm gonna try 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.440 Diggs and I'm gonna open this game up. I'm gonna 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.679 break the game over that dude. That gotta be a 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.839 Joe man. I told y'all two weeks. But but that 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.520 ran didn't work. That's even more funny. You know, it's 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.439 even you know, it's even more funny, Nate, is that 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.640 heine Key said that, and there was an offensive coordinator 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.240 in the head coach that said, you know what, Yeah, 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.120 I like that idea, right, you know, let's do it. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.880 I mean honestly, because when you look at you know, 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.000 with Terry McLaurin in the way that he played, he's 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.360 been played against the Cowboys, he's been basically shut down 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.880 and having got the reps, I think he I think 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.959 he was having the same conversation that A Barry was 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:38.160 having this year. The difference is the difference is you know, 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.439 and this is no shade to Tyler heine Key, but 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.760 there's some shade in this, but it's no shade to him. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.240 The difference between the two ways. And I think Terry 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.040 mclorin is an absolute stud as a receiver. You got 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.120 to do with who was on his sister couch a 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.960 lot of year. You got to dude who were paying 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.160 seventy five million dollars too. That's the difference. There's a 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.439 complete difference. So when you start, you start one of 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.120 the attack dudes. When you start one of the attack dudes, 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.800 you know down the field. I much rather have And 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.079 like the way my quarterback and my office the quarter 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.640 that went about getting our number one the damn ball, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.000 opposed to how their officsive quarter and their quarterback chose 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.080 to get their number one receiver the ball first play 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.839 go round on this, I'm like, you could have picked 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:24.319 Anthony Brown, you could have picked Kelvin Joseph. Don't kep Yeah, Like, 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.680 don't don't go at the big dollar right off the gate, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.559 like at least warm up a little bit. You know, 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.320 I'm the little four player. You just try to rip 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.600 the pennies right off. They were obviously hoping to make 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:39.839 a stay and obviously trying to make a statement. Sorry, hey, hey, 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.920 hey man, you missed that out, Kurt. But anyway, I'm 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.080 gonna tell you something, you know, you know what kind 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.440 of this is what I've been waiting on for three 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.040 or four weeks. I'm saying because some Maari's talk doing 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.880 training camp more than he ever has, and I'm waiting, like, 0:12:55.000 --> 0:13:00.439 how long would Amari just be ignored? I mean for 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.400 him to you know, to do it in the in 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.000 the correct way. He didn't crush nobody, he didn't go 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:10.440 at nobody. But uh, you Panics due a million dollars 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.880 a game, and you ain't gonna throw him the ball 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.720 that that that did not Let's let's yeah, let's uh, 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.760 let's take a break, take a break, get some sponsors. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.079 Can I beat the drum? Will come back? Can I 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.240 beat the drums? Going out fast? How about that? Uh? Well, Uh, 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.679 we gotta come back and talk about amorrow. We need 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.439 to get into that defense a little more. Still a 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.560 lot to discuss here on this victory Monday. We'll be right. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:41.920 Don't rip them off, Kurt, don't rip them off.

But we've 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.680 got the gospel Jesse in one corner. We've got the drummer, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.680 our man, Nate Newton in the studio, drumming all mad 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.680 All Madden, Newton, All Madden, Nate Newton. I can't ask 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.720 for better than that. Yeah, I gotta go see coach 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.280 after this. Yes you do, Yes you do, Yes you do. 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.880 But before the break there you go, I go, yeah, 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.480 don't ask, don't ask that. You know where at Leeds, 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:47.280 you know what happens. All right, let's get back into it. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.280 Before the break, you had brought up Maury Cooper again. Um, 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.360 he came out last Thursday, and I believe on our 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.720 flagship station and admitted he was frustrated, he wanted to 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.600 see more targets. We haven't really had a chance to 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.200 talk about that. What did you guys first think when 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.320 you heard that? And then going into last night's game. 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.639 Were you impressed with what happened? I guess I was 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:15.760 so happy. I was. I'm like, you know, Jess, backb 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.760 here and we've been saying, it's only two people on 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.840 our team that can dictate coverage and one haven't been 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.480 able to dictate none recently. And that's that's that's Zeke. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.600 The other guy that can dictate coverage is a mari 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.479 Because when a Marii catches on fire, they gotta they 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.320 gotta double team him or shade him somehow, some way. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.359 And I was so happy that he spoke up and 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:42.240 now him to kell him Oh, kellibatan calling great plays. No, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.120 he figured out if I thought a mari a whole 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:50.080 lot of plays gonna work right and wrong. Jess, No, absolutely. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.680 And the thing is about being an officer coordinator, A 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.960 lot of times you don't have to come up with 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.680 these great extravagant plays where guys are looping and cut 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.240 the turning. No, just get the ball to the really 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.960 good guy like that A lot of times alleviate you 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.920 having to have these magical plays, right, get thee get 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:09.760 the ball to the guy who has been a perennial 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.919 pro bowler. Get the ball to the guy who's one 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.280 of the best route runners in the league. To Nate's point, 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.760 also get the guy to get the guy to the ball. 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:18.760 You're paying a million dollars to There's no way in 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.400 the world that the Marty Cooper should be top three 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.560 in salary and bottom third of the league and targets 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.479 that and he's actually playing in games that doesn't even 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.080 make any sense. And you watch teams around the league, 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.840 you watch you know when when Tom Brady is what 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:41.040 god Win and Evans. Antonio Brown has missed the last 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.240 three games from suspension, in the last four games before that, 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.680 of three games before that with injury. This first game back, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.959 his first game back, he has ten catches for over 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.720 one hundred yards in a touchdown. You get the ball 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.280 to the best players as much as you possibly can 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.520 because they can do special things. So you don't get 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.919 for Kelly More. You don't have to be the boy wonder, 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.240 just be the smart boy and get it to nineteen 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.720 and get it to the guys who please. What do 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:13.879 you think about that? Right? Impressed? Oh yeah, freaking he's preaching. 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.320 I love it. When I was impressed though, because we 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.600 saw this back in the day. I mean, Dez Bryant, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.359 you know, he wouldn't let it be known that he 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.159 wanted the ball, and you saw games where Romo forced 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.159 it in there and it just didn't work well. For 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.520 whatever reason, they couldn't connect. But and so I was 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.360 a little worried coming in this game that that same 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.840 thing might happen. But obviously, for whatever reason, it clicked 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.160 right from the start. I mean I think at least 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.280 three or four times in those first two drives he 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.080 went to Cooper. Obviously the first play of the game, 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.760 he went to Cooper. They tried that little pitch back 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.840 to him, Cedric Wilson, I mean they it was obviously 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.560 going to be a focus, and like you said it, 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.240 it opened everything up, which was amazing. One is the 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:56.879 route running, another one's not. That's the simple fact. You know, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.080 I'm not going back, and you didn't get it. I'm sorry, 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:03.440 I'm not going back. What do you think, Jess, No, 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.240 I agree with you, and you know, to continue on 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.480 on the Mary Cooper topic. You know, like you said, Kurt, 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.520 when you get him involved, other guy gets involved. I mean, 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.440 when was the last time that you saw a team 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.520 have more than I think five guys over fifty yards, 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.639 like five guys had over fifty yards receiving, right, and 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:27.280 now what what what? Also, what you're getting is a 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.960 Mary's doing well on the outside seeds, consistently catching the ball. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.280 You know, you know, Michael Gallant's gonna give you a 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.560 big play. But I think the one thing that we're 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.800 seeing that can almost be when I say MVP, I 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.280 mean on a very small scale MVP. Right, it's like 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:48.760 most valuable participant, not most valuable player. It's Dog Shultz. Yes, 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:52.960 it's his ability now, his ability now to work that 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.560 middle is something that you're gonna need. And look at 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.240 the good teams. He's not drown, He's not Travis Chlse 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.679 and no one is right. He's not Waller or one 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.040 of those guys, and none of those guys. Not many 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.360 people can be those guys. But what you see from 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.080 Dalton's shorts, now, it's the chain movie. It's him having 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.440 eight catches for eighty yards and six of his catches 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.200 be for first downs. Those are the things that you 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.600 want to see because now it goes back to I 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:25.359 always have an outlet, a safety net for that prescott 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.960 with Dalt Shultz. And now once I get a Maori 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.720 involved earlier. That opens up everything else. And that's how 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.040 you get that offense back to being humming again. Is 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.959 that get the ball to number one right, get him 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.359 going early and again, it doesn't have to be a 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.159 goal route. It doesn't have to be an eighty yard touchdown. No, 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.040 a five yard out route, a hit trout, something that 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.200 when he's getting into a rhythm, and now I'm able 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:48.800 to get the ball of shots, run the ball a 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:50.879 little bit or now I got deep overs and I 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.520 got dig routes for a Cde Lamb, tough yards over 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.720 the middle, boom he's hitting. And now once everybody starts 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.440 biting up, now I can take shots down the field 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.560
