I said semifinal because we were switching 10 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: to our offseason schedule next week, so I didn't want 11 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: to say it's the final episode because technically it's not. 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: But this is our final episode of the twenty twenty 13 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: two twenty twenty three season. Next week we will transition 14 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: into offseason mode, which means that we will be on 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: your air waves every Thursday at ten am, which will 16 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: be a nice switch for us to get up in 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: the morning. I know none of us are morning bable, 18 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: so that will be fun. So we're gonna have a 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: lot of coffee chats, try and have some fun in 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: the mornings. Gets you guys excited we're not going to 21 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: talk about Sunday's game. We were just chatting before. We're 22 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: putting that in the past. It's the book and we 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: spent so much time talking about it yesterday. So for 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: our last episode, I thought it was fitting that we 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: look ahead to the future. Obviously, one of the big 26 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: talking points right now is the hefty list of free 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: agents that are not only important to this roster this season, 28 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: but should be important in the future going forward. Just 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: a couple of names on that list. I'm not going 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: to name all of them, but as we know, Tony Pollard, 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, Terrence Steel is on that list. Connor McGovern. 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: As far as defense, you have Anthony Barr, Layton vanderash, 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, Jonathan Hankins, Donovan Wilson, and then your specialist 34 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: Brett Mahir, Jake McQuaid and Matt Overton, just to name 35 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: a few. There's a couple of lists circling around with 36 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: all of the guys on there. Um, so I thought 37 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: we would have a little bit of fun today on 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: this episode. Obviously, the front agent or the front office 39 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: has to make a bunch of decisions as far as 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: you know whose contract they're working out who is leaving 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: this organization. As we know, rosters are always different every year. 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: So that being said, we're gonna do some sales pitches. 43 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: We are going to pretend like we are pitching to 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Will McClay and all of the guys 45 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: who make the decision. Aisha is giving me like a 46 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: death stairs, giv me Yeah, I'm me feel some type 47 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: of playing. Um, but we're gonna do some sales pitches. 48 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: So what I want you ladies to do is pick 49 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: one person on this agent list, and you're in a 50 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: pitch to Jerry. Why you think that player has to 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: be on the Dallas Cowboys roster next season? Okay, so 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: we're gonna let you think. Yeah, you don't your home. 53 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Jess. So Jess, give us your player, 54 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: give us all right, sales pitch? All right? Um, So 55 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at this camera and I'm gonna pretend 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: that you, the viewer, are Jerry Jones. Okay, hello, mister Jones. 57 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: Incredible start, do an incredible start? Do you mind if 58 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: I call you Jerry? Actually? All right, Jerry, thank you 59 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: for taking the time to meet with me today. Well, 60 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: let's cut to the Chase's corning this offseason. There's one 61 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: guy or wolf hunter that you need to line back 62 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys defense, that being the one, the 63 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: only latent. Vanderesh LV is the thermostat to this defense 64 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: that has brought the heat to opposing offenses with ninety 65 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: combined total tackles in the regular season and twenty combined 66 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: total tackles in the postseason. Find you mister Jones or 67 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Jerry depending on what you want me to call you. Oh, 68 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: he didn't play a full regular season either. These numbers 69 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: were on par to match with his rookie season. Um. 70 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: He is the leader that the defense needs on the 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: field to diagnose offensive schemes and making the wolf call, 72 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: striking the fear of offensive coordinators all across the league 73 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: to game plan any type of run game when he's 74 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: on the field, or not do that because they are 75 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: too scared to do so. To put it bluntly, mister 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Jones LV is a lean, mean, complete tackling which is 77 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: important machine that deserves to continue wearing the star and 78 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: continue to get the credit he deserves from Cowboys Nation. 79 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for meeting with me. To w 80 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: J for setting the tone, Yang, did I tell you 81 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: if you're if you're Jerry Jones a little? I don't 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: know if you're gonna listen to meeting? Yeah, after what 83 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: I have to say, so Jess, Jess wants Jerry to 84 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: know that Layton Vandersh needs to be on this roster 85 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: next year. I love that. It's a great start. Are 86 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: you sha all right? You're next? All right? I'm not 87 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: about to do all of that though I have, but yo, Jerry, 88 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: I had some time today. We should have ended. It's great. 89 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: I was really good. I'm listening. I don't even know 90 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: how to back that up, but I will say, hey, Jerry, um, 91 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: there have been attempts to address the DT position for 92 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: numerous years. Here clearly bringing in a ham and Jonathan 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: Hankins saw improvement with your run defense drastically, even by 94 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: a yard almost when he was on the field, and 95 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: his ability to take on two blocks open up the 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: d ns. You could see the difference in the defense. 97 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: And I think he would be essential to continuing this 98 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: this run defense being on a higher trajectory next season. 99 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a great selling point, but however, 100 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins deserves to be back on this team. Okay, 101 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm all right, all right. We love Ham him, go 102 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: Ham for him him. Love that. And he's also a 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: nice human. He's a very He's a giant, nice human. Yes, 104 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: I love it. I'm all right, Yes, you told me, 105 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: you did it. It's clear evidence that a good, true 106 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: nose can make your whole defensive line better. Oh my god, 107 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: let's do it, guys. I love that. I loved I 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: love that you kind of turned on, like your your 109 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: drive through voice as well. For eight years, I starved, 110 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: I waited. I worked at bright years. So I mean 111 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: I got so pressed. Thank you, guys. Anything else? Can 112 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: I get you some water? No, that's not a good one. 113 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't look like you think. Jerry. Just drink water. 114 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: Everyone should just drink everyone. Literally, he literally told us. 115 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: He told in the um, on the radio and all 116 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: through the fan. He likes whiskey. Yeah, whiskey. Guy. I 117 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: felt that the guy maybe give him some whiskey. Say 118 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: all right, Hank, chaotic pitches, big Hank. All right, that's 119 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: my guy. All right, we love that. Okay, So I'm 120 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: gonna be honest here. I one of you guys who 121 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: was going to talk about Tony so I chose not 122 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: to talk about Tony because I didn't want us all 123 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: pitching about Tony. I thought both of you were going 124 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: to pick Tony. Okay, I just wanted to let the 125 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: record show that none of us are about to pitch 126 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: about Tony. However, he is at the forefront over mine. 127 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: I want that to be. You can also assume maybe 128 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: there's a franchise tag possibility with that as well. Perfect. 129 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure we were on the 130 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: same pit. There we go. Okay, this is my sales pitch, 131 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna wing this, Dear Jerry. This franchise 132 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: has struggled for so long in the secondary. There's been 133 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: some incredible guys that have come through in that position, 134 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: but it's been really difficult to find a core group 135 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: of individuals who not only meshed well on the field, 136 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: but our brothers off the field as well. And there 137 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: has been no better representation, in my opinion, than what 138 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: you've seen this year with that three headed monster. To me, 139 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: one of the most important parts of that three headed 140 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: monster Donovan Wilson. And I'm gonna tell you why Donovan 141 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Wilson deserves and should be on this roster. Next year. 142 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson is not the biggest guy in the locker room. 143 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: He's not the strongest guy in the locker room. He's 144 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: not the most vocal guy in the locker room. When 145 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: you put him on that football field, he is a 146 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: completely different beast. This is a guy who is going 147 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: to get up in your face. He is going to 148 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: hold it down playing in that safety role. But he 149 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: has five sacks this season, and that's just with the 150 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: time that he was allowed to get up in the 151 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: quarterback's face. Right, He's forced two fumbles. This is a 152 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: guy who is a rocket coming out of that secondary. 153 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: You gotta have a Donovan Wilson on your roster. And 154 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: it's important to note that this is his first year 155 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: that he's been able to play for a full season. 156 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: He has one hundred and one tackles this year, seventy 157 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: seven of which we're by itself solo dolo. So when 158 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: do you talk about a guy That's why we be sorry, 159 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: j Sorry Jerry. Let me pick back up where I 160 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: was here. Moral of the story. Donovan Wilson is a 161 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: guy who he's established chemistry with the rest of the 162 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: guys in the room. He's a guy who can be 163 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: a leader to younger guys coming in, guys like to 164 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Ron Bland, who also had an impact this year. He's 165 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: a firecracker, He's a rocket. He's been my MVP all 166 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: season long. So do me the honor of signing Donovan 167 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: Wilson to a long term contract to the Dallas Cowboys. WHOA, 168 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm so no, Donald's madu. I love the 169 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: due honor like that Nail and Coffin right there. Yeah, 170 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: he was key. He was key this year. I remember 171 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: talking to him middle locker room and I was like, Hey, 172 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something. I want to weird you out. 173 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: And I was like, and I kind of I ain't 174 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna lie like I followed Donald in his whole career, 175 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: so I'm a little excited. When I first met I 176 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: was like, oh Donovan, and I remember being like, I 177 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: think you're this team's camp chancellor and he was like, 178 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: that's my favorite player. And for him to come through 179 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: and do so much at the line of scrimmage like 180 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: he does, dan Quinn just almost opened up his ability 181 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 1: and we got to see everything he was capable of. 182 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: And I agree with you, I've really hoped that Donov 183 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: is on his team next year, and people are going 184 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: to see what he's People got to see what he 185 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: was really capable of when him playing a full season, 186 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: and he deserves it. So this list is hefty, right, 187 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be difficult. We know that 188 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: the roster is not going to look the same. It 189 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: never does. But there's so many guys on this team 190 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: that you know, you hate to see him go. You 191 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: wish him the best of luck, but the reality is, 192 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, not all of them are going to be here. 193 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: I know we spent most of our conversation about defense, 194 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: but some key guys on offense really that I think 195 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: have a good shot of being back here. A Cooper 196 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: Rush is a guy you know, obviously he proved his 197 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: worth right off of the top of the season. T 198 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: Y Hilton to me, is a guy who I wouldn't 199 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: mind them if they could work something out. You know, 200 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: he proved his value later on in the season coming 201 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: in clutching that goals game and so on and so forth. 202 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: And Connor mcover Ye, well yeah, Connor mccover and like 203 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, when you look at how versatile this offensive 204 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: line was and what they were able to do. To me, 205 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: he was the guy who was kind of bounced around 206 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 1: the most besides Tyler Smith. You know, one minute he's 207 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: playing fullback and then left guard, all you know, everywhere. 208 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of guys on this list. Are 209 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: there any other guys who you think you cannot do 210 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: without on this free agency list? I think Darren Steele, 211 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: but it looks like he's a restrictive free agent, so 212 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: there's some different conversation there so, but at all the 213 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: other gentlemen, it's that's that's, that's, that's the guy for 214 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: me to think you gotta try to get back in here. 215 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: Of course, I think it's an interesting conversation around Jason 216 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: Peters because he's made such an impact, not necessarily on 217 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: the field and he did when he needed to write, 218 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: but off the field as well, and just kind of 219 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: how impactful he's been for Tyler Smith and that growth. 220 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: If it's an opportunity and if there's an option budgets there, 221 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: all of that, I would love to see Jason Peters return, 222 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: if not, if that's not, what how the cards fall 223 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: or how things go forward. Wishing him the best because 224 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: he really is somebody that I think at first, you know, 225 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: it made sense, and we said, Okay, yeah, that's that's great. 226 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: Future Hall of Famer, come on in. But then you 227 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: really saw the Jason Peters impact, and he made such 228 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: an impact that at that point we started comparing every 229 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: veteran that came in here to the impact that they 230 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: had on those rookies, calling it the Jason Peters impact. 231 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: So if we could have another round with Jason Peters, 232 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: if it's available and the option is there, I would 233 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: love that. Also important to note Brett Maher is a 234 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: free agent. I know that he kind of didn't have 235 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: the storybook ending the way he wanted to the end 236 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: of the year, but I think another guy who really 237 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: proved his worth. There was so many question marks in 238 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: bringing him back, and you know, regardless, I think he 239 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: had a tremendous season. So a slot to keep an 240 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: eye on. I We had Will McClay on the final 241 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: episode of Cowboys Hour yesterday, which was such good information. 242 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: I know you were there and God to listen in 243 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: just some of the stuff that he spoke about and 244 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: the decision making that he has to do. I asked 245 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: him at one point, you know, because with this being 246 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: my first NFL season, I think y'all's first NFL season two. 247 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: We have a tendency to get attached to a lot 248 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: of these guys, right I was talking to Jeron Bland 249 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: and I went over and gave him a hug, and 250 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm so proud of you, and 251 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: he's like, thank you. And so I asked Will. I said, 252 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, you formed this attachment, You form these bonds 253 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: with these players. How do you separate the bond versus 254 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, the business? And He's like, you know, at 255 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: the end of the day, like, you got to be 256 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: able to think about what's best for the team. You 257 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: have to be able to think about how you're going 258 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: to put this team in the best position moving forward. 259 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: And it's difficult, but that's his job. So I thought 260 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: that was interesting too. Something else to note before we 261 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: take our first break. There are a couple of guys 262 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: on the free agency list that are have been signed 263 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: to a futures contract. And I wrote the definition of 264 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: a futures contract down. I had to do some digging 265 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: because I wasn't one hundred percent sure, So I'll just 266 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: share with you guys. A futures contract is essentially, it's 267 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: a contract that secures a player for the future. It 268 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: doesn't go in effect until the season technically starts, so 269 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: the guys aren't under contract until when. Don't to sit 270 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: date on here. I wanted to make sure I get 271 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: it right until the salary cap or the roster limit 272 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: for the current season is hit, so it's not credited 273 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: against the offseason ninety man roster limit. It's credited to 274 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: the following year's salary cap. So there were a couple 275 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: of guys on this free agency list that were signed 276 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: to future contracts yesterday, and that includes wide receiver Ontario Drummond, 277 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: Sinner brock Hoffman, my guy, Alec Lindstrum, center dB Sheldrick, 278 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: We's a hard name to say, Sheldrick red Wine and 279 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: safety Jan Yer Thomas. So a couple of guys who 280 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: are pretty confident, or the Cowboys are pretty confident that 281 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: they will make an impact, so they have been signed 282 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: to a futures contract. So a couple other things to 283 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: keep in mind. And that was a lot of talking 284 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: from me, But we'll go ahead and take our first 285 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: break when we come back. We're talking coaching. Obviously, our 286 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: coaching staff has been all through the coaching caravan.

So he is very clearly 337 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: the front runner when it comes to people wanting to 338 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: hire him as their head coach, and good reason. We 339 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: know we spent time as the Falcon's head coach for 340 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe not as successful as what we've 341 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: seen him be as a defensive coordinator, but I think 342 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: his work speaks for itself when you think about what 343 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: he's done for the Dallas defense that's traditionally pretty strong 344 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: and he has only really made it better. But I 345 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: want to open up the floor to you, guys, what 346 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: has made dan Quinn so successful this season? What has 347 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: allowed him too? I love the little head nuts has 348 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: allowed him to help this defense be so successful. Um So, 349 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: one thing this stood out to me about dan Quinn 350 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: when he got hired was just the lane which he 351 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: spoke in. How much he seemed like he was invested 352 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: in what do these players do well and let me 353 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: cater to it. And that's something that woul coaching is, 354 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: I feel like is essential. And very quickly you saw 355 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: these guys by buy into what he was preaching. Because 356 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: you see guys like a Donovan, like a jay Ron Curse, 357 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: like like even Anthony Brown before he was injured, playing 358 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: two levels that I think some of us didn't even 359 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: expect to. So I'm like, this guy understands how to 360 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: get the best out of players, and I really feel 361 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: like that's half of the battle when you're trying to 362 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: have a guy in here. He also the coaching staff 363 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: around him was fantastic, has been fantastic, putting guys in 364 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: a position that he feels like he understands are gonna 365 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: echo what he's coaching. And I just liked his approach 366 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: to how he came in the building and tried to 367 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: even reset what he felt like he did well, to 368 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: cater to what these players do well and how to 369 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: be successful. It's not easily replicated, I don't think so. Yeah, 370 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: they all need to back off seish dan Quinn is 371 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: And that's just me being selfish, right. I wish him 372 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: success with whatever decision he decides to make, because he 373 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: deserves all the happiness and all of the success. Dan 374 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: Quinn is the kind of guy that he walks into 375 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: a room. We've talked about this before and he doesn't 376 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: have to demand the respect. He just has your attach 377 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: his energy and the way he talks to people like 378 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: their people is so special. And you know we've talked 379 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: about this before on here too, of how he takes 380 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: the time to get to know these guys apart from 381 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: being a football player. He creates these relationships with them 382 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: and he cares and they've said, I mean there's multiple 383 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: players in that locker room that have said, he cares 384 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: about me, he invests in me, and this kingdom, this 385 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: dan Quinn kingdom that he's created is just built on 386 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: respect that was earned from the second he stepped in here, 387 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: because that's just who he is and yeah, they need 388 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: to back up, like leave him alone. But that kind 389 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: but that kind of leads me to my next question, 390 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: because I mean, I agree with everything you guys are saying. 391 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: I think his biggest strength is being able to evaluate 392 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: matchups and to recognize, you know, Okay, this is what 393 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: I have, this is what we're facing, here's what we 394 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: need to do. And so I think that's one of 395 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: his greatest strengths. The second greatest strength would be the 396 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: relationships that he has with the players, right, but do 397 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: we feel selfish and wanting him to stay here? Does 398 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: that feel like we're holding him back? I mean, what 399 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: do we see him as someone who would be a 400 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: good head coach or we want him to just to 401 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: be our DC forever? I think, I mean, I think 402 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: he has the capability more than anything. I think we 403 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: are being selfish. Like the idea is to get better 404 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: and to grow in this industry and coaches elevating is 405 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: um it's a part of the game. I think for us, 406 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: and I could say me in particular, is that to 407 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: see what he did for this defense twenty twenty and 408 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: will not long ago, and we remember seeing how that 409 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: defense was constructed, and one thing that he came and 410 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: did was gave this defense an identity. They have an identity, 411 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: and they're also gentlemen on this team. You can hear 412 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: he scouted their brothers, He scout. He has ties to 413 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys in this locker room that 414 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: were not like before here from their collegian time, their 415 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: time and school stuff like that. So he brought connection 416 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: here in itself. And I think that's more so what 417 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: it's hard for Cowboys fans is that I don't know 418 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: when the last time we've seen a change this quick 419 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: of a turnaround and a defense and for them to 420 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: have an identity. You know they're gonna hit hard. You 421 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: know they're gonna tackle well, you know they're going to 422 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: rush the pastor we know they're gonna take the ball 423 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: away as they did for two years in a row, 424 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: which hasn't been done since the seventies. So I think 425 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: a lot of our feelings are because it's like this 426 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: is brand new. We don't want to let it go 427 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: like this real nize it's real Nie, Yeah, but that's 428 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 1: it's selfish in the sense that this gentleman has been 429 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: working his tail off to prove that he can be 430 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 1: a head coach, and he deserves that opportunity. You need 431 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: to do it another time. Yeah, I think he obviously 432 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: deserves any head coaching position right, but to me, it 433 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: would have to be the right fit for him track 434 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: and what plays up to his strengths as a coach. 435 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: And we know his strength is the versatility that he 436 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: brings within this defensive room and that took, you know, 437 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: a couple of years to build. With the coaching staff 438 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: around him, and even the players that are in this 439 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: locker room that we've seen time and time again follow him. 440 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: But what I think the dan Quinn ripple effect would 441 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: be of him leaving somewhere else is you have this 442 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: nice little list right here of free agents, and if 443 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: dan Quinn leaves, there's been a lot of guys in 444 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: that locker room that have said I would follow dan Quinn. 445 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: So we saw that. We saw that here a look 446 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: at Anthony Barr who followed dan Quinn. Look at just 447 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: every single person that dan Quinn is brought in here 448 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: at some point or another, how to tie with them? 449 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: He brought them here made the defense better. But it 450 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: is being selfish because he absolutely deserves to have that shot. 451 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: And I think the selfish. Part of me is saying, well, 452 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: it's not being selfish because he has a shot to 453 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: be successful here too. However, however, the offense and special 454 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: teams need to match that same caliber of a level 455 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: for him to be successful here, and it's a business. 456 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: I just really yeah, I wish him the best no 457 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: matter what he decides. And that's hard for me to 458 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: say because I'm trying to not be selfish. Perfect segue 459 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: to the opposite side of the ball. Kellen Moore, as 460 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys, has also had an interview. 461 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: In fact, he interviewed today with the Panthers as their 462 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: head coaching job. He had some noise last week. I 463 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: believe he was one of three as a finalist for 464 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: the Dolphins last year before they ultimately went with Mike McDaniel. 465 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: But you knows, as different as Kellen and Dan are 466 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 1: from a personality standpoint, I think we'd be remiss if 467 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: we didn't think. You know, how successful Kellen has been 468 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: with the offense this year. I mean working with a 469 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, a guy who really didn't have any experience 470 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback, and helping him be successful, finding 471 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: ways for the offense to kind of thrive around Cooper. 472 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: For a while, they were the top scoring offense in 473 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: the league. They led the league for most of the 474 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: year in red zone efficiency. Uh, and they were pretty 475 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: successful last year as well. So just a lot of 476 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: things that these offensive coordinators has done have done. But 477 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: what stands out to you about Kellen Moore? Uh? Huh? Bad? Now, 478 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't has to be like that. I was really thinking. 479 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: I was really thinking, Um, I can you go sure? 480 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: Because I think here's the thing about Kellen Moore is 481 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: he's young, and that could be an advantage or a 482 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: disadvantage depending on what team and you know who else 483 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: he's around to work with. So, for example, it works 484 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: within the Cowboys organization that he's an OC because he 485 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: has Mike McCarthy, who has plenty of experience with basically 486 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: any kind of situation, any kind of coordinator, player, or 487 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: anything under his belt. You also have a Dan Quinn 488 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of things. You also have Bones 489 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: Fossil on the special team side of things. So being 490 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: young in this kind of scenario where he has, you know, 491 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: people that he's worked with free years in this building, 492 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: he was suited up with him at one point point 493 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: even and then you have the plethora of experience within 494 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: the other coaching departments. It helps him grow and it 495 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: helps him learn at a bit of a faster pace 496 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: because he's around and all that experience. So if he's 497 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: if the right team wants that, sure it can be 498 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: a good fit. I think you can't take away what 499 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: he did for the offense this season. It's just being younger. 500 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: It could be seen as an advantage or a disadvantage 501 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: depending on where where cards line up for him. But 502 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: all that to say, yeah, I also wish him the 503 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: best wherever or whatever he decides to do next. Yeah, 504 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: and I also like that. I will say the one 505 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: thing he did this season is that he shout the 506 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: ability to work with what he had when he had it. 507 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: You know, even with the start of the season, with 508 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: how much he used the tight ends and how involved 509 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: they were to help things easier, help things be easier 510 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: for Cooper Rush this year. In particular, him getting Tony 511 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: Pollard involved in this offense is something that you know, 512 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: we have been waiting to see and there was a 513 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: there was a conservative effort to do that and you 514 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: can tell that was And then even so seeing how 515 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: he used CD this year. Man like a lot of 516 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: CD success, I mean, CD is a baller, but a 517 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: lot of his success was but the fact that Kellen 518 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: found favorable matchups across you know, across the line of scrimmage, 519 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: had him in motion, had him doing things, getting him 520 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: in space, and that was impressive just to see the 521 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: improvement there and the recognition from him to see what 522 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: his players did well in that moment. Can't discount what 523 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: he's done for this offense and what he's been able 524 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: to do as far as them, you know, having continuous scoring, 525 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: being one of the top scoring offenses in the league. 526 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: And I do agree that you know, he is youthful, 527 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: and you know that's going to be able to someone 528 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: who they decide the team if they decide they want 529 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: to bring in a guy that's youthful and still learning. 530 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: But I do think that he did some good things 531 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: this season with this offense and he's definitely helped some 532 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: guy guys get better in this offense, to include cdee Lamb. 533 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: I know we've spoken before on our pod about our 534 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: appreciation for Mike McCarthy, you know, and down the stretch 535 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: there's been some question marks as far as whether or 536 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: not he's deserving of keeping his job. You know, Jerry 537 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: mentioned in the postseason how you know a loss to 538 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay didn't necessarily mean a loss of Mike McCarthy's job, 539 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: But there's been some national narrative of whether or not 540 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: he should get to keep his job after the you know, 541 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: the disappointing finish to the season this year. But I 542 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: didn't want to end this block without talking about Mike 543 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: McCarthy in the job that he's done. I think what 544 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: makes Mike so interesting but so challenging for the rest 545 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: of the kind of public to understand is Mike's not 546 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: a guy who is going to show you a ton 547 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: of personality, right. I think this is the first year 548 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: that we've really seen who Mike McCarthy is. We saw 549 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: him dancing with a chain around his neck after that 550 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay game. We've seen him be a little bit snappy, 551 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: but in a like a funny way during press conferences. 552 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: You know, he's built relationships with a lot of people, 553 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: and to me, my perspective on Mike McCarthy really changed 554 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: when we did Cowboy's Hour with jay Ron Curse and 555 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: I asked, jay Ron, you know you were you were 556 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: new to this locker room. You were new, you know 557 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: what made you feel confident that you were going to 558 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: come in and make an impact and be accepted into 559 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: this locker room. And he said, oh, Mike McCarthy. Mike 560 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: McCarthy's best coach I've ever had. He's so great, you know, 561 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: he cares for me, looks out for me. And then 562 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: later on when I sat down with him first and ten, 563 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: he just talked about how his experience with the Cowboys 564 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: is how he thought that his NFL career would go, 565 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of that was because of guys like 566 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and because of Mike McCarthy. And I think 567 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: when you've got a guy who has taken this franchise, 568 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: he started in the pandemic when nobody knew what the 569 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: heck was going on, right, and he went from a rough, 570 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: a rough season in twenty twenty to you know, improvement 571 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one and even more improvement. I mean 572 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: like they won their first road playoff game in thirty years, 573 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: and people are still expecting and think he should be fired. 574 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: I think that's ridiculous. It's odd. I one thing I 575 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: like about Mike McCarthy is how he I guess I 576 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: would say how he delegates. It reminds me of some 577 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: of my leadership in the military. That I really appreciated 578 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: was I call it like Millenny, I call it millennial bosses, 579 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: where we've seen how it is for our I'm just 580 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: being like, we've seen how it is when your boss 581 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: is just at at you and not trusting you with 582 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: your responsibilities. And one thing about Mike McCarthy that I 583 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: think is that he allows his coordinators to coordinate. He 584 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: allows those guys. I'm sure he has input whatever the 585 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: case may be, but to he brought in a staff 586 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: later after the two twenty years that he trusted that 587 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: he could trust to do their jobs. And most of 588 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: these gentlemen that are on this this this coaching staff 589 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: is a good It's a coaching staff for the most part, 590 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: dude like, and I felt like he brought guys in 591 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: here that we're going to uphold the standard without him 592 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: having to be, you know, down their throats and having 593 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: to be in their business. And so that's one thing 594 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate appreciated about him listening to him is that 595 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: he lets his coordinators coordinate. He trusts them, and I 596 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: think that allows for you to get the best out 597 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: of your coordinators when they don't have a head coach 598 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: or someone that's just down there telling them everything what 599 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: to do. So yeah, and I think when you look 600 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: at your life and you take a step back and 601 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: you say, Okay, when I'm at work, do I want 602 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: a boss that's going to micromanage and try to tell 603 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: me how to do my job, who brought me in 604 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: here but still tries to tell me how to do 605 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: my job? Or do I want a boss that is 606 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: going to let me put my skill set to work 607 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: and you know, not try to overstep when it's not needed. 608 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: And it's just a very healthy work environment. And that's 609 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: such a weird way to phrase it, but it is 610 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: a business and it is a work environment to some extent. 611 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: So I think the healthy work environment and the culture 612 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy has built is just so underappreciated by 613 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: people that are outside of this building that don't get 614 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: to see that and don't get to hear how he 615 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: talks to even reporters or how he talks to the guys. 616 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: And it's just people realize, People forget that what you 617 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: see online or what you see on Twitter specifically, is 618 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: this much of a spectrum that's about this big and 619 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: there's so much more that he does behind the scenes. 620 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not gassing him up for no reason. 621 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: If I didn't think he was a good coach or 622 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: didn't deserve to continue to stay here, I would back 623 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: it up with reason. But that's not the case. He 624 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: has gotten you winning records for the past two years. 625 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: He's rewriting history for this team, and he's still on 626 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: the trajectory to go up and up. Guys respect him 627 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: and he most importantly, something that I learned this season 628 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: that I have so much respect for Mike McCarthy for 629 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: is the mental health aspect of things. He allows these 630 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: guys to physically recover, yes, but mentally he checks in 631 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 1: with them. It's an ongoing conversation. As he says over 632 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: and over again. I just respect the hell out of anybody, 633 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: especially in that kind of position, who breaks a negative 634 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: stigma around mental health that is there whether we realize 635 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: it or not. I also like how open he's been 636 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: about just the process, because a lot about head coaching 637 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: and coaching I did not know about until he listening 638 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: to some of his pressors, where he's like, yeah, we're 639 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: going through this type of meeting. We're doing it. Like 640 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: just so many of the skilled things also too that 641 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: he talks about. They focus on, I've learned from his 642 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: interviews this year, just the intricacies of being a head 643 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: coach and Yo, it sounds like a job. It sounds 644 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: like a real job, like having to manage all these humans. 645 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, I appreciate coach Man. I think he's I 646 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be here and why not. Yeah, I've 647 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: appreciated Mike. We do these kind of walk off after 648 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: the official Cress conference on Friday, and it really just 649 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: gives us about thirty minutes to sit down with Mike 650 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes we talk about football. Sometimes it's 651 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, just shooting the breeze in the room, just 652 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of building relationships. It's of course all off the record, 653 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: but it not every head coach does that, And so 654 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: I just appreciate his willingness to you always work with us, 655 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: and you know, always try and make sure that everything 656 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: is fair and that he's being represented well as well 657 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: as us. So we love Mike. We appreciate Mike, Dan 658 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: and Kellen. We will keep an eye out on as 659 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: far as the coaching caravan continues, but we're going to 660 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: go ahead and take our final break. When we return, 661 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: we're talking in the pas. We'll let you know who 662 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: we think the best players on this team. Word this season, 663 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: we'll be right back at Jigsaw Dating.

I'm on that 703 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: side of TikTok. We're pivoting, We are pivoting, ladies. I 704 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: told I was joking with Terrence or one of our 705 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: awesome camera guys, do it all guys in the locker 706 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: or not in locker room in the control room the 707 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: other day, and I told him I was like, this 708 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: almost feels like the last day of high school, you know, 709 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: like when everybody's like graduating. Yeah, yeah, exactly, That's what 710 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: this has felt like all day. So final block here, 711 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: We've got about five minutes or so, and I thought 712 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: it was fitting just to kind of wrap this season 713 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,959 Speaker 1: up by talking about some people who really, we really 714 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: thought made the biggest impact on this roster. And so 715 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: I have four categories, Offensive MVP, Defensive MVP, Specialist MVP, 716 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,720 Speaker 1: and then Character MVP. So those first or you're pretty 717 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: self explanatory. The character MVP is a guy who maybe 718 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: did make an impact on the field, didn't make an 719 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: impact on the field, but he made an impact on you, 720 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: on the media, on the Cowboys Nation, whatever. It is, 721 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: just a guy who you know, had good character, was 722 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: a joy to talk to, a joy to be a 723 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: part of this roster. So that's character MVP. But let's 724 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: start with offensive MVP. I'll go first, and we'll go 725 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: this way, and then we'll rotate it for defense. So 726 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: my offensive MVP this year was Tyler Smith. And I 727 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: know that that's probably a little bit out of left field, 728 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: given that he's an offensive lineman. But when you ask 729 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 1: anybody on this roster, offense, defense, coach, whoever it is, 730 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: you know someone that's impressed them, they all unanimously say 731 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith. And we don't need to get into the 732 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: specifics of everything that he did, because we know what 733 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: he did. He has rotated, and he has learned, and 734 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: he has absorbed, and he has been so receptive to 735 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: any and all information. You talked about Jason Peters and 736 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: the impact that he's had on him. Zack Martin has 737 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: spoken so highly about him. Connor McGovern, really, all of 738 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: these guys have been so impressed with Tyler I have 739 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: been impressed with Tyler. I actually met him earlier in 740 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: the year last year with a camp that I did 741 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: with Galvanized with Laura Oakman, and so I'd had a 742 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: little bit of an idea of who he was as 743 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 1: a person. But it's just been so cool to see 744 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: him grow so quickly this season. I'm excited to see 745 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: what he can do next year whenever the rookie hat 746 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: is taken off and he's just you know, an offensive 747 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: lineman on this cowboy's roster. But for me, my offensive 748 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: mbps Tyler Smith, I'm gonna go Ceedee Lamb because the 749 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: doubters were down in at the beginning of the season, 750 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: and what I loved about Cede was when all the 751 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: OBJ talk was going on, That's really when you saw 752 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: him come into his own in that Green Bay game specifically, 753 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: And I'm just so excited to see him continue to 754 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: grow on the success he had this season in that 755 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,959 Speaker 1: wide receiver one spot, and yeah, Ceedee Lamb. Just given 756 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: him all the flowers because he got a lot of scrutiny, 757 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: a lot of hate, and I really am proud of 758 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: the improvement he made over the course of this season. 759 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this is random, but it's not there random. 760 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Coach Lunda, wells the tight ends coach. Okay, 761 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say him because I personally before the season 762 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: started did not see I knew Jake Ferguson was going 763 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: to be a dude, but we got to see sparks 764 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,919 Speaker 1: of him really POSSI being a dude. Peyton Hinder shot 765 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: the same situation right, and what he was able to 766 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: get out of these young guys in this even too 767 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: with Don't Schultz, I think he's progressed well, like as 768 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: a tight end, as a complete tight end with this coach, 769 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: and I think that there are plenty of instances at 770 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season and through the season that 771 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: if you had not had your tight ends, even blocking 772 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: on that offensive line or just being aware, it would 773 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: have been a different story. So Coach Lunda wells for 774 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: coaching up these tight ends. I love that Lunda is 775 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: a guy who very similar to like Skip Pete, the 776 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: running backs coach, is very adamant about, you know, saying 777 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: hello all of us and getting to know all of us. 778 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: So it's been really nice to not only get to 779 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 1: know the players with the coaching staff as well. Great list, ladies. 780 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: I love that. Let's switch to the other side of 781 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: the ball. Defensive MVP Michael Parsons. This is a guy 782 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: who you put him anywhere on that line, and he 783 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: is going to be a menace. He is a guy 784 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: who's in the second year of his career that will 785 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: be a very long and very prosperous year. He's young, 786 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: he's hungry. His football speaks to himself. But this is 787 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: also a guy who is juggling fatherhood, who is juggling 788 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: being a leader and being asked so much of him 789 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: and the stuff that he's been able to do on 790 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: the field has really really not only impacted our defense, 791 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: but impacted the way opposing offense as prepare for the 792 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Oh it's my time, yeah, Barnacles. All right. 793 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: So my defensive MVP is Durron Bland because I feel 794 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: as though if he had not come in and took 795 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: over that nickel spot, this defense was really ain't gonna 796 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: be in a rut. I felt as though, especially with 797 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: m Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown being out. So Durron 798 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: Bland coming in his fifth round pick Sean when he 799 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: was made of taking the ball away in those key moments. 800 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: I was very impressed with him, and I think that 801 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: he could be a key part of this defense next season. Um, 802 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with LVE again. My sales pitch coming 803 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: full here, but I'm gonna go with LV because it 804 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: really showed how much of an impact he has on 805 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,720 Speaker 1: that run defense when he was out with that injury. 806 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: But also it's just you're seeing a new side of 807 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: LV that I feel like you haven't seen yet, and 808 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: that's the leader side of LV. And I'm just so 809 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: happy to see the success he had this season. And 810 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: I just will always forever wonder what if he hadn't 811 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: gotten her he played the full season, if those numbers 812 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: would have matched his rookie season, because he was on 813 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: the up enough to do that. But LV just it's 814 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: been such a joy to see the spark back in 815 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: him this season, and I'm excited hopefully to see him 816 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,479 Speaker 1: in the Cowboys uniform doing it again next year. Talking 817 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: to you, Jerry Jones, all right, our specialist, my specialist 818 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: MVP is Brett Maher and I am forgetting that the 819 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: Champa Bay game even happened to me. Brett was the 820 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 1: most improved player as well. Came in with really low expectations. 821 00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: You know, I know a lot of people were kind 822 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: of annoyed that we signed him, but he really bailed 823 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: this team out in a lot of clutch situations. And 824 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I saw anything that was much more 825 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: impressive than him taking back to back sixty yard field 826 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: goals at int Bank Stadium, one of the most difficult 827 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: places to play in the league, and drilling both of 828 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: them with no sweat, no issues, none of that. I 829 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: think that this is a guy who's only going to 830 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: continue to grow. I think his price definitely went up 831 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: even despite that Tampa Bay game and the anomaly that 832 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: it was so my specialist, MVP Rett maher specialist MVP 833 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: to nobody's surprise, Vante Turpin. You know, I just have 834 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: when I looked back at this season as a whole, 835 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: and I really looked at Kavante Turpin as the punt 836 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: returner that he is, I said, Okay, when can I 837 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: go back in time and remember a point where every 838 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: single time our returner had the ball, I said, he's 839 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 1: going to take it all the way. And I couldn't 840 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: sit there and remember that there to me when I 841 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: started as a there wasn't a time for that. It's 842 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: always been a position where as a Cowboys nation and 843 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: as a fan I would sit back and watch Bell like, Okay, 844 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: wherever the ball lands, that's fine. It was nothing that 845 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: I was actually excited to watch. Cavante Turpin kind of 846 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: lit this light up in me this season to have 847 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,439 Speaker 1: an appreciation for that position and how difficult it really 848 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: is to do, and he's great at it. I mean, 849 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: this man's been working his tail off. Everybody just completely going, 850 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:32,959 Speaker 1: and so yeah, Cavante Turpin absolutely my specialist MVP. Shout 851 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 1: out to Christie Scales for explaining special teams played us 852 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 1: to understand how intricate it is and how poortant it is. 853 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: My specialist MVP is Brett Anger. I thought he was 854 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: one of the key free agent signings of the off 855 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 1: season because he's an extension of this defense. He finished 856 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 1: top ten in the league again again in his average 857 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: with his average, and I think he had the longest 858 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: punt of the season with eighty three yards. That was 859 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: the highest of the season. So shout out to him. 860 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: Being extension this defense put them in a good spot 861 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: to be able to get after the quarterback, and he's 862 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: a guy I would like to see back again. Yes, 863 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: our final category your character MVP. I am going with 864 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: jay Ron Curse. I can't tell you my mindset going 865 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: into this job. This is my first time in the NFL, 866 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: and while I worked a little bit with the Dolphins 867 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: before I came here, I'd never really had one on 868 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: one relationships with players to this effect, and jay Ron 869 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 1: was one of the first guys who was really just 870 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: open about getting to know me as a person. He 871 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: would take time to just chat with me. You know. 872 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: I joked with him that he was my mom's favorite player, 873 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 1: and that whenever he was out with the knee injury 874 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: or the ankle injury earlier in the year, I said, hey, like, 875 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 1: my mom needs to know if you're going to play 876 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: on Sunday. And so then every week it just became like, oh, 877 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 1: how's your mom doing or oh, you know, like, well, 878 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: my mom says you need to do this better. So 879 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: I think, aside from what he has done to that 880 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: secondary and what he has done to help contribute to 881 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 1: the defense this year, he is a stand up guy. 882 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: He's a dad, he is a tremendous teammate, He's a 883 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: tremendous friend, and I will always respect that no matter 884 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: the mood he is in. He always took the time 885 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 1: to speak to us and speak from his heart and 886 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, speak from a place of honesty and was 887 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 1: always so transparent with how he was feeling, how he 888 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: felt about certain things. So I'm really appreciate a lot 889 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: of these guys in this locker room. Jayron Curse is 890 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: one of the best. Ah man that that was my 891 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: initial one, and then I figured both of you are 892 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: going to say that, but I'm gonna I'm gonna switch 893 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: mine because I'm gonna have to if I'm cheating a 894 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm gonna have Kavante Turpin in Michael Gallott 895 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,399 Speaker 1: because those are my guys when it comes in locker 896 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: room talks, who will sit there and explain things to me. 897 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: This I am a student was a close second for me. Yeah, 898 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: I'm a student of this game, and I will be 899 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: the first to admit when it comes to x's and o's, 900 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: that is not my strong suit. So when I would 901 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: go in the locker room, I would take advantage to 902 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: learn more about their positions and have them explain it 903 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: to me how they see it, so that way I 904 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: could understand it from that point of view, and never 905 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: once did MG or Cavante Turbin be like, oh, get 906 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: away from me, you know, and none of them do that. 907 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:24,919 Speaker 1: But sometimes none of them do that. But the time 908 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: that they took, and even that with Cavante, we talked 909 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: a lot about his anti bullying campaign that he's a 910 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: big believer in, and to me, anytime somebody can take 911 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,880 Speaker 1: time out to do that, I mean, it's it was 912 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: so cool to hear Michael Gallup asking about my dogs 913 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: every week, how wits doing, how Toby's doing. You know, 914 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: both of them really took the time to talk to me, 915 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: explain things to me. But most importantly, something that's really 916 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: special to me about both of them, they remembered my name. 917 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 1: And that seems so small and so simple, But every 918 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 1: time I would go in there, hey, Jess, what's up? 919 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: You know, for people that meet hundreds of people every day, 920 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 1: and you know, for me, who I'm not an employee here. 921 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: I go to the walker room once a week and 922 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, shout out to Cowboys pr for allowing us 923 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: to do that. But they didn't have to remember my name. 924 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 1: And both of them, of course showed that respect. So 925 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: those are my two Turp and MG. All right, so 926 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: for me, it's gonna be real random, y'all. Don't look 927 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,879 Speaker 1: at me in that tone of voice. Uh, quadreyols, Oh yes, 928 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I know I cheated hetastic, But that gentleman, 929 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 1: how active he just sounds of a sideline that are 930 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity to get in to see how things kind 931 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: of operate over there. He's always so active, so talkative, 932 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: always encouraging guys. He's always rolling up the crowd. And 933 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. Everybody need a hype man. 934 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,759 Speaker 1: Everybody needs somebody that's willing to put the fact that 935 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: they're not out there to the back burner and support 936 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: you unconditionally as he did. He did it all season. 937 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: Impressive from him. I loved it from him, and I 938 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 1: thought his character showed a lot this season. I talked 939 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: to Quadri after a week after the Damar Hamlin incident 940 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: happened because they played together at pit and so we 941 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: just wanted to check in on him, and we ended 942 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: up talking for thirty minutes in the locker room. He 943 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: told me that he was really interested in doing what 944 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 1: we do eventually, So I'm hoping that he'll be around 945 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: next year so we can collab and do some stuff. 946 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: But very dark horse, very sneaky. I love that. Well, ladies, 947 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: that'll do it for our podcast on a regular basis. 948 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 1: This has been so fun And I also just want 949 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 1: to take a second before we wrap up here to 950 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 1: address the loyal fans that we have built.

You know football 958 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: better than any human being. I know, Jess, your emotion 959 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: and your ability to tappen with those guys in the 960 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: locker room is so impressive.
