Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:31.960 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:37.080 Were with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.839 Derek Eagleton. It is Wednesday, September eleventh, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.560 episode number forty one. Welcome to another edition of The Break. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.200 We are locked Nesst, WBC Morriage Studios at the Star 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.200 and got my crewe here, Nick, Dave Amber. We're gonna 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.240 talk about the Washington Redskins today. Dave has a breakdown 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.160 for us on the Washington offense. We defer on this show, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.040 and we will go with offense today. We'll go with 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.319 defense tomorrow. But before we do that, I want to 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.280 talk a little bit Jeff something. I was just saying, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.800 there's some injuries. Things we do we talk about injuries, 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.080 No we didn't. Yeah, there were real quick keeping an 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.039 injury update. Tavon Austin apparently has a concussion um that 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.760 they found out concussion like symptoms like and you know 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.399 it's always everybody's all dicey about whether they want to 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.760 call it a concussion or but from the sounds of it, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.160 he you know, he felt fine Monday, came in and 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.640 did like run team run and stuff like that. But 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.160 he came in today and was like, I like, my 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.639 my head feels fuzzy, like I'm still kind of feeling 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.880 the effects. Apparently it was a block he made or 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.280 took in the game, and so he's not a practice. Um, 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.240 we'll see how serious that is. I don't know if 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.319 it's a full blown concussion or just kind of being 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.160 careful with him. And Randall Cobb had some ribs injuries, 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.880 but he was out there, so that would be one 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.240 that returner. He's the Yeah, good point. Jeff Heath also 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.240 out there. Yep. Every everybody that you know you would 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:05.000 ask about was there, Um, Tyrant, Zach Cooper, Cobb, Heath. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.160 And they have signed Chris Chris Covington. So now we 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.720 have Chris and yeah, linebacker Chris Covington. Uh, he's on 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.320 the active roster now. And when they released Jordan Chun yesterday, 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.320 Chun will not be back on the practice squad. They 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.920 signed Darius Jackson to the practice squad. I gets his 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.280 number twenty six back in the lumbu goes back to 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:32.519 thirty two, although which, yeah, I don't know. I think 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.320 the way it was explained to me just now is 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.720 Darius Jackson is here. I assume he was already in 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.640 the area. They waived Chun and so he can't be 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.560 on the practice squad until today, and they needed a 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.639 running back for practice. So it's just like a temporary thing. 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.320 We'll see. Oh man, it's totally plumb. Goes back to 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.720 twenty six. Maybe it's it is completely possible that Darius 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.440 could just be helping them get through practice like today 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.720 and tomorrow. I don't know, but that's the way it 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.080 was explaining to me is I don't think they're necessarily 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.839 permanently done with Jordan Chun, but he can't be here 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.360 for practice right now because he hasn't officially cleared waivers, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.840 and so they needed it back and they were I 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.000 assume they were like, hey, Darius, you're still down the 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.800 street right What was an irrelevant question? But whatever happened 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.560 to Jamie Showers? He every time you mentioned there is Jackson, 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.079 I think of Jamial pregame show. He's got he doesn't 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.200 have practice squat eligibility. He can't be on I mean 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.880 unless you put him on the fifty three, he can't 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.760 be here. So he's done. So. But you guys have 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.120 been talking about Jordan Seun from the standpoint that he 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.720 was more of a special teams guy. Him down. Well, 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.040 seventeen special teams snaps the other night, I think is 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.839 what I heard. I think. I think what happens is 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.320 Covington's a better linebacker, better special teams player than him. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.480 But when they had when they kept John, they didn't 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.640 know exactly when Zeke was coming back, and if so, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.680 was he gonna look like so at least you've got 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.960 three backs and a linebacker ish type special teams player. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.920 Now that Zeke's back and he's going to be fine 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.880 and all that, now now it's just special teams. I'd 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.720 rather just have the linebacker. Yes, I think that's what 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.600 it comes down. So coming to a better special teams player, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.520 so it's better who can't play running back, which he 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.040 played quarterback in college. But I think he's bigger now. Yeah, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.679 he's a big dude. Safe high school college, he played 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.080 some in India. Yeah, he started out there. So that's 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.240 what I'm saying, you don't see a lot of nick 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.920 tattooed guys and quarterbacks quarterback not really What does that 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.200 say about him? Like is he extra tough? Because he isn't? 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.680 I think so. I think if you have neck tattoo, 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.840 I think you are extra tough. Yes, I think he's 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.200 still mess with it. I think so it really is. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.120 I don't know. I don't know anyone really that closely 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:38.760 that has a neck tattoo, but I would think you're 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.840 tough with somebody and he's just like the sweetest thing, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.360 but he looks tough and just like that's the thing 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.000 approached me. Would you guys want to do it as 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.080 a show? The Break? No? I no, I don't The Break? 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.440 How nerdy? How nerdy? Is it? On a scale of 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.599 one to ten? That? Like? The thing that I'm most 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.760 fascinated about is how they handle the jerseys with Christian 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.400 and Chris Covington now playing on the same time defense, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.480 So what are they gonna do? I don't know, That's 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.000 what I'm saying. Yeah, I can put a full name, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.640 so how they know, like they have the same last 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.440 name and it's all the way up to the first 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.440 five letters. So you're gonna have Chris Covington and that 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.000 matters it. You're right, because they may have Roy Williams, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.760 Randa Williams. It was Roe Williams and Row Williams, Like 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.480 why why how about just thirty one eighty nine? I 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.640 didn't say the number Williams plus thirty one means Williams, right, 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.720 Roy Williams, right, Maybe they will. I'm gonna find an 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.200 equipment guy today and I'm gonna talk to him. Yeah, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.479 But I just think that's interesting. It is interesting. The 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.880 interesting thing is they both play defense, so you could 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.040 have situations that could be a little confused. But you 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.880 would think the letters in eighty point font, I mean, 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.559 the numbers in eighty point font would tip you off 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.000 not to mention the body weight, like this guy's two 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.520 thirty five, because in college football you'll see like six 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.880 number one and number two's out there, so it's more confusing. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.000 That's good, pointless, but it's cool. I get it, all right, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.240 So let's move on. I do want to talk before 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.120 we get to the Washington Redskins. I wanted to talk 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.760 a little bit about something that's kind of popped up 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.480 here of the last twenty four hours on social media. Um, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.799 there was a situation where DeMarcus Lawrence was captured on video. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.719 There was a kid who had on a se Quon 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.040 Barkley jersey who walked up to him after the game 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.920 and wanted an autograph, and DeMarcus basically brushed him off. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.600 You got on the wrong jersey, kid, basically, And and 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.080 it's obviously blown up and taken on a life of 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.960 its own now from the standpoint of I think I 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.120 think Bleacher Report did something on it. That's at least 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.880 who who Tank reference in a tweet he followed up 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.760 with later on. But the question I have for you 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.840 guys is is this is the idea of criticizing a 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.880 player for doing something like that unfair or do you 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.920 think that's that's his responsibility and he has he does 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.839 have a responsibility to do that in those situations, I 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.920 would say, I mean, doesn't that just kind of goes 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.680 with the dinner of being an NFL Well, I don't 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.760 want to speak to too broadly, but I guess my 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.000 point is these guys are judged and critiqued for every 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.039 little thing they do, and that's part of what goes 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.880 along with getting paid one hundred million dollars like that 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.600 is the drawback of it, you know, is anything you 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.280 do can has the potential to happen like that. But 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.720 should it I get that, that's that's the lot, and 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.160 that's what it what it is, But should it be 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.160 is it Is it unfair to criticize a player for 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.440 something like that? Um? Yeah? In this case, I think so. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.200 He took it to a different level. You don't want 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.160 to sign autograph, that's fine, you don't have to sign autographs. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.880 I think he took it to another level by kind 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.320 of pointing out a reason why, even though clearly he 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:44.120 was in like powerwalk mode, I'm getting out of this place, 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.920 I'm going to wherever I'm gonna go, he wasn't gonna 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.080 sign autographs. You signed for one, you signed for fifty. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.960 I get it, So just do just do that. And 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040 I wrote a column on this whole situation, and I 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.160 even pointed out two different Hall of Fame players that 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.800 I have seen one grab my own suitcase so they 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.640 could fill up both of their hands to walk past 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.400 people so they don't have to sign. Another this year 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.760 asked me to do an interview with him so he 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.760 wouldn't have to sign on the field. A training camp 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.920 they don't want to do it, there's a difference then, 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.400 But by just kind of I didn't hear you, right, 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:21.520 oh okay, and training camp this year and then you know, 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.440 so I understand that, like you don't want to do it, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.800 but by kind of calling out that you have the 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.600 wrong jersey on that, to me takes it to a 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.320 different level. Um, I still love the Marcus so long 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.840 as I think he's great. I think he's got his 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.319 own personality. He's a real dude. I think Dave will 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.160 tell you he's a real person. Unfortunately, those ten seconds 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.120 I don't think are really what d laws about. I 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.760 don't think, but it's unfortunate that happens. I means cell 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.800 phones are everywhere now and that that's what happens, I 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.960 would say, And I would be a hypocrite if I 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.520 killed Tank for that, because I love his authenticity and 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.400 like we argue all the time, I roll my eyes 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.959 at some of the phony dudes in the NFL who 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.920 will go out of their way to make sure that 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.360 a video of them saying something like that never happened, 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.240 because because they're they're never real. They're they're spokesmen and 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.760 not people. That's what they act like, so I really 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.520 appreciate that DeMarcus Lawrence isn't like that. And you know 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.000 he and and but that's not the full picture because 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.120 as you know, if you're on social media, you saw 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.520 last night he went, you know, he went and gave 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.600 backpacks and and gave back to what ninety kids from 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.680 from the Frisco ISSD and gave them school supplies and 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.319 and even that was getting criticized because he's like, oh 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.720 you you did that to that one kid with the jersey, 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.640 and then you go out and come back and start posting. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.000 And they didn't like the community of Frisco because it's 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.840 you know, it's portrayed as a higher class, you know, 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.720 community than some some other one. I mean, I don't 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.760 know I think that that's and I saw what you 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.960 did on social media. You're like, well, did you what 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.400 did you tell were you doing? Lest would you do 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.560 last night? Did you help ninety people? Right? I kind 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.240 of I kind of appreciate, you know, he can be 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.400 the same guy that talks trash to the Sequan kid 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.400 and then still goes and does the school thing in 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.920 the community, Like it doesn't have to be black and 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.800 white as always. That's my That's my number one thing 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.560 is like nobody ever wants a nuance, like you have 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.640 to have a take. You didn't read my column because 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.000 no one as it's not out. Yeah, I mean it's 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.960 getting there. But that's the first thing I say is 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.719 that it's not black and white. Some things aren't black 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.040 and white. There's some gray areas here and this one 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.440 is this is one of those situations. And I don't 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.079 know what your stance on that is, but but I mean, 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.320 my whole problem with it is I feel like I felt, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.440 and this is just our society in general. I think 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.240 everybody has a sense of entitlement, and in this instance, 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.720 I think there is a sense of entitlement on the 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.680 part of the people that criticize Tank that he somehow 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:51.440 owes this kid an autograph. He doesn't owe anybody an autograph. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.439 If he chooses to do an autograph, great, And as 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.360 you and I were talking about before the show, if 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.080 he wants his public perception to be whatever, if he 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.480 wants it to be jj Watt like where he goes 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.400 and he throws balls to, you know, fans of his 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.400 team and fans of the other team before the game, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.680 then great, do that because you're trying to build a brand. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.000 If you don't, Yeah, if you want to not sign 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.000 this autograph, if you would rather be more authentic from 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.040 the standpoint of being like, you know, guess what, you're 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.439 not a fan of my team, so I'm not signing it. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.240 That's okay. Nobody's entitles here. No fan is entitled to 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.720 an autograph. The player is not bound to have to 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.520 give an auto If he chooses to do it, it's 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.040 his right to do it. And that's where I have 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.959 a problem with people criticizing players because they choose in 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.160 that moment that's not the space I meant right now, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.760 Or I choose not to do this because I have 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.959 a right with my likeness to decide what I want 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.240 to do. That's fine if he if he's okay with that, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.680 if they're his team, and then know that's why he's 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.000 not getting the endorsement. That's why his jersey's aren't really 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.120 all over the place at a teen team statum, just 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:58.120 because like, there are different levels of global superstars and 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.040 I don't even know what man who knows if that 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.880 kid even is a Giants fan or is he just 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.360 a sequon Barkley fan because he's on that level. J J. Watt, 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.920 Odell Beckham, Steph Curry, Lebron James, all across the place. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.679 You see dads that are probably Dallas Mavericks fans and 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.640 their sons, Like I want to go and watch Steph Curry. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.559 That kid was like DeMarcus. DeMarcus wanted an autograph there, 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.160 So like I just think, like, you're right, he doesn't 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.720 have to have that level. But just know that there's 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:27.040 there's great players, there's Pro Bowl players, there's elite, iconic 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.439 global stars, and it takes that kind of thing to 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.520 do that to be like, you know what, I love 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.800 your jersey, but I'll sign it. Now that video is 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.439 going viral and he has a different perception. Yeah, I 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.760 really I struggle to form a firm take on this 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.040 because at this I mean I joke about this all 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.480 the time. Actually, Like I get if you've been to 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.080 a Pro Bowl and you play for the Cowboys, I 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.480 get notifications when you tweet, and it's a running joke 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.920 for me, Like when Dak Prescott tweets, it's an ad. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.079 It's always an ad. It's so bland, it's so lame. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.040 And DeMarcus Lawrence is a genuinely he's the opposite. He's 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.600 tweeting about killing Eli Manning and he's defending Yeah, yeah, 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.240 you know he's he's defending himself from fans that think 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.040 he's mean for for not signing this kid's autograph. So, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.880 like I said, I really I appreciate that in this 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.600 day and age, he is an authentic NFL superstar who 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.800 will tell you how he feels, because a lot of 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.040 them won't. Um. I think it goes back to the parents. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.840 What the parents did? I mean again, the kids parents 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.719 kind of pushed him out. Yeah, that's the other thing. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.079 Like I just I have a bit of a that's 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.720 a personal thing. I have a bit of a problem 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.080 with that, just because I always tell my kids and 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.600 my daughters. Y'all know, my daughter's a big theater nut, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.200 and I always tell her respect what a person does. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.920 You don't know who they are behind the scenes. So 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.800 trying too hard to be the fan where it's like 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.800 I want I want to like, I gotta get this autograph. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.320 I got just slow down a little bit in in 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.960 idolizing these people, because they still are people and you 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.960 don't know who they are beyond what they do, right, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.400 And so I have a little bit of a problem 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.440 with the parent that's like pushing their kid out there 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.959 go get the autograph. Like, so, now, if the kid 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.960 wants to get the autograph, let the kid get the autograph. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.880 But you don't need to, like, you don't have to 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.000 spur them on, right. I may be wrong on that. 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.439 That's just my own personal No, that's the same thing 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.720 I thought. And it's like a lot of parents try 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.440 to get certain things through their kids or like made 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.520 the kid do things, you know, so you don't you 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.760 don't really know whether he was a fan or not. 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.600 And DeMarcus, yes, he could have maybe handled it better, 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.400 like say it more jokingly, maybe fist bump him. He's like, 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.760 oh you have a better jersey or whatever, joking. But 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.520 I think that most people around here, in the media 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.680 that works around here, it can confirm how DeMarcus Lawrence 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.120 like his true character, and that doesn't really represent who 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.880 he is. He's better than that. Yeah, I don't know. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.000 I guess I don't care that much about it because 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.760 it doesn't really change my opinion of how I feel 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.840 like I seen enough of DeMarcus Lawrence, like I feel 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.600 like I have a good idea of like his true 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.160 character like you said, he's also you never one hundred 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.920 percent know what you're gonna get from him, which again 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.120 I respect, so you know, in the tank and one 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.080 thing that I shared in the story that I think 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:19.640 that is important too, when you when you kind of 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.080 get to know both sides of it. Last year at 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.800 the hospital visits, I walked around with him for six 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.400 or seven different rooms that he went into, and he 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.600 got choked up in every single one of them, just 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.240 seeing these kids and their parents there and asking them, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.480 you know, because because it's an annual visit, and a 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.280 lot of the guys, hey, they put on the Santa hat, 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.160 they put on the jersey, they smiled and they hey, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.240 you know, and they leave and it's their day off. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.760 And all that DeMarcus was asking them what they wanted 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.720 for Christmas. They were telling them, he was writing it 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.640 down and having their pr people representative write it down, 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.520 and then the next day or two he made sure 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.520 that those families and kids got exactly what they were 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.800 asking for, which you don't have to do as a 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.040 part of that whole too. That was not so the deal, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.800 and he doesn't want that even probably out there, but 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.520 but I just think it's important to know that, Like, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.520 it's not they didn't like kids. I've seen him at 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.800 Chuck E Cheese twice. What's that say about me? I 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.800 don't know, but I'm just saying, did you did have 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.600 your kids? Yeah? Yeah, okay, I think that doesn't say 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:20.280 anything weird. He lives there that they go there every 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.760 every off day. They on all or nothing. They talked 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.200 about it. He his kids every week, So he loves kids. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.160 It's signed about that. He was going out. He was 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.600 going you know, like, and he knows that you stopped 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.800 for one day. Will tell you when he signed at Oxner. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.400 When you signed for one, you have to sign for 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.520 all of them there.
