1 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club is Radio hit broadcasting 3 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official Dallas 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys Have No Your hosts, Tyler Klutz, Christie Scales and 5 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: Brad Sham welcome everybody to Radioheads. Happy Columbus Day. Are 6 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: you allowed to say that anymore? Yeah? What would you not? 7 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: It's actually been a topic that cities are not calling it, 8 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: like Portland, for example, a city that will not acknowledge 9 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: that it is Columbus Day and it is now some Native, 10 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: some sort of Native American day, and they're not acknowledging 11 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: anything that Columbus did, or because I understand that it 12 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: is also called Indigenous People's Day. Yes, thank you producer 13 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: Kyle for whispering in our ear. Is there factual dispute 14 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: of Christopher Columbus's sailing west when he was trying to 15 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: go east and landing on these shores it didn't work 16 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: out too well for the indigenous people's Yeah, no it didn't. Nonetheless, 17 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: he's the one who came here and it wasn't all 18 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: his fault and it's Columbus Day. Yeah, it didn't work 19 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: out too well for the Cowboys this weekend. Either. Just 20 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: think we're happy Columbus Day and happy Indigenous People's Day 21 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: and everyone and everyone can be honored today, Yes, every well, 22 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: not everyone, because as Christie said it, things didn't go 23 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: well and so and so I continue to be dazzled. 24 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: I think I would like to start Tyler Klutz off 25 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: with this question. Having been in as many locker rooms 26 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: as you've been in in three weeks time, an entire 27 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: coaching staff has gone from genius to drooling full Yeah, 28 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: each and collectively. Yeah. And that's compounding weekly, compounding weekly. 29 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: But and so now it gets to the point where 30 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: if they beat Philadelphia Sunday night, yeah, I don't know 31 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: if that helps very much in terms of the public perception, 32 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: which is why I think public perception is a dangerous 33 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: thing to dip in. This is me to dangerous thing 34 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: to dip into and maintain any sense of perspective. But 35 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: that's me. You've been in locker rooms. You know what's 36 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: going on in there? What do you think? Yeah? So, 37 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: so in the NFL, as a player, you live one 38 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: week at a time. I mean that that really is 39 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: what it is. And you know there's there's usually after 40 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: a week like this, there's always a Monday hangover, right, 41 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Like you feel really bad about yourself, You're really nervous 42 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: about Tuesday's meetings and being up on the on the 43 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: screen and coach Garrett calling you out, your coordinator calling 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: you out. But then you move on and then you 45 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: move forward. Unfortunately, the fan base they don't have that 46 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: luxury of moving on that quickly, right, they remember it, 47 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: and so yes, and I said that comment earlier, like compounding, 48 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: like the coaching staff is drooling idiots. But the reality 49 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: is is that's the perception. I don't think that there's 50 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: much different going on in those coaches meeting rooms as 51 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: week two and week three when they were all heroes, right, 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, this league is really hard to win. Things 53 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: start to go well, and it's contagious to win. Unfortunately, 54 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: losing is the same. It's contagious. It continues to go. 55 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: There's momentum on both sides of it. From the now 56 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm being on the fan side of this and watching it, 57 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: I get it right. When I was a player, I 58 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: just I couldn't listen to media. I couldn't. I just 59 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: all it was was people either jumping on the bandwagon 60 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: or everybody's against you. It's it's one or the other, 61 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: and there's no in between. As as a fan, now 62 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: I get it because it's it's hard and it's frustrating. 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: And a question that I have for you guys, as 64 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this all day, is Okay, you 65 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: guys have been doing this a long time, and you 66 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: guys have seen a lot of games. You've seen a 67 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: lot of ups and a lot of downs. How do 68 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: you continue to stay focused on providing content that is factual? 69 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: Because you guys are out every game, you're watching it, 70 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: you're seeing it, you're talking to the guys. You have 71 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: more grasp on reality of what this team is really 72 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: than anybody in the city outside of those guys in 73 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: the locker room. But how do you continue and you 74 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: see dips like this and you see when it slides down, 75 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: how do you continue to provide very accurate information? Obviously 76 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: you have opinions and you think, and you can't deny 77 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: those opinions, But how do you continue to provide information 78 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: to fans without being like way up or way down? 79 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: Staying level? That's the thing. We are more information than opinion, 80 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: especially from the sideline. I'm kind of my tact is 81 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm the Joe Friday, right, just the facts, ma'am, because 82 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: what people, I'm the eyes and ears for Brad and 83 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: Babe down on the field, thus the eyes and ears 84 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: for Cowboys radio fans and listeners. And so for example, 85 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I knew Amari after the second offensive play, 86 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: the three yard catch where he's tackled out a bounce. 87 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: We had it immediately that he was hurt, and if 88 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: you were watching on CBS, you didn't have it till 89 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: ten minutes left in the second quarter. So our thing 90 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: is to get it as quickly as we can. But 91 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: I think that it has to do you mentioned the 92 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: word perspective. That's the main thing. Secondly, it's kind of 93 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: like a player. We got to move on and get 94 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: ready for the next opponent. We're going to be a 95 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: start studying the Eagles, and that makes it easier because 96 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: we played the Eagles twice a year. But finally, we 97 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: know these coaches, we know these players. We talk to 98 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: them on a daily basis, and it's yes, you're friends 99 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: with them, and it's not so much that with the relationships, 100 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: but we just have the perspective and understand that you 101 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: can't be so reactionary. And while you can't make excuses 102 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: for a team like multiple injuries and things like that, 103 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: there are reasons. So that's something that we say a 104 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: lot on the broadcast. There aren't excuses for what happens 105 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: in games, but there are reasons. And so I think 106 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: that what we're trying to do in providing this information 107 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: is share that same perspective so that the fans can 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: have that broad perspective. And that's a good point, I think, 109 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: and I want to hear your perspective for sure, But 110 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: is that the fans and most mainstream media, they have 111 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: to dwell on it for six days and they have 112 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: to provide content to talk about it, and it just 113 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: seems as they continue to talk, they continue to pile 114 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: on and on. And social media doesn't help. And it's 115 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: harder for our jobs with social media because things are 116 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: so reactionary. But Brad did Baseball Texas Rangers for three 117 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: years and there was no you know, his every night right, 118 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: six six nights a week. Big adjustment that I had 119 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: to make, and I had to learn it on the fly. 120 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: Was I was accustomed when I started doing the Rangers. 121 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: I had been working on Cowboy broadcasts for eighteen years 122 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: or something like that, So I was accustomed to euphoria 123 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: and positive emotion in a win and complete down in 124 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: the dumps with a loss. And I had a little 125 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: adjustment to make to get used to wiping that slate 126 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: clean the next day and the next day and the 127 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: next day, not to get ready for practice or preparation, 128 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: but because there's a whole new game and a whole 129 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: new set of emotions, and it is it's different. I 130 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 1: would I would say, I would address your question Tyler 131 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: this way. What kinds of questions did I ask you 132 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: when you were playing here? Very real questions in that 133 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: I think it was it was it was deeper questions 134 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: than Okay, what's wrong with the offense? Why isn't Scotland 135 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: a hand calling these plays? I mean, I think twenty 136 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: fifteen right when more honest questions had to be asked 137 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: rather than a let's just keep building up the good stuff. 138 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: But I think you ask more people questions, you dove 139 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: deeper into the and understand how people think, how people operate, 140 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: as opposed to Okay, why aren't you doing this and 141 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: why are you doing that? One of the things that 142 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: I have learned is to understand to know what you 143 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: don't know. There's there and I know Bill Parcels was 144 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: great at explaining this and vocalizing it, and others have 145 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: also there's levels of not knowing there's and and most 146 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: people don't know what they don't know. Yeah, and then 147 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: you can if you're around a while and paying attention, 148 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: then you can know what you don't know. Yeah. And 149 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: only when you get to a certain level that I 150 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: don't think I will ever reach, is do you know 151 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: what you know? And so what I've learned over time 152 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: is that the thing you think you see in a 153 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: football play or game is not necessarily what happened. I'll 154 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: give you a quick story as an example I'm doing. 155 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: We're recording all this right. Yeah, this is gold for 156 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: anybody that's listening. Show this to your kids. I'm down 157 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: color analysis with vernelon Quist. That was the first eight 158 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: years I was on the broadcast. We have a Monday 159 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: night game at New England and Grogan was the New 160 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: England quarterback I think with the Kansas big tall, skinny guy, 161 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: and he threw a deep ball down the left sideline 162 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: to Russ Francis. The tight end, Charlie Waters, the strong 163 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: safety came running from clear across the field and ran 164 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: him down after you know, forty five fifty yards. My 165 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: eyes tell my brain tight end down the sideline, strong 166 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: safety running across the field. Clearly, the strong safety was 167 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: in the wrong place. And that's why Russ Francis got 168 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: free for a big game. And that's what I said. 169 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: That was on a Monday night. Charlie clearly could not 170 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: have heard it because he was on the field Thursday. 171 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: In the Cowboys locker room, Charlie Waters accosted me angrily, 172 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: nose to nose, You don't know what you're talking, So 173 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: what the heck are you talking about? You said, I 174 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: wasn't then that it wasn't. You don't even know what 175 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: defense we were playing, and that wasn't my man, And 176 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: he was right, and I didn't know what and I 177 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: didn't even really have a concept of the fact that 178 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: the call can change. And sometimes there were times in 179 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: the seventies when Charlie and Cliff Harris were playing together, 180 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: they would they would Tom Landry would send in a 181 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: defense through Ernie Stockner, the defensive coordinator, and Cliff and 182 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: Charlie might look at each other and say let's not 183 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: do that. You go there and I'll go here. And 184 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: they did that in the Super Bowl with Pittsburgh on 185 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: the play that on the play that the umpire screened 186 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: off Charlie and Bradshaw through to Franco here. So the 187 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: lesson that I learned from that is before you start 188 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: spouting off like you know something, find out what happened. Yeah. 189 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: So one of the things I've learned is that here's 190 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: another thing, an example. I cited this to someone the 191 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: other day. People love to talk about play calling, still 192 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: like to talk about play calling, and fans frequently think 193 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: there was a game with San Diego at I think 194 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: it was Texas Stay, but it might have been in Arlington. 195 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: It was the It was the I think the week 196 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: before DeMarcus the week that DeMarcus Ware got hurt. And 197 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: then they went to New Orleans the next week on 198 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: Saturday night and Marian Barber was the Cowboys running back 199 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: and it was a close game and they've got first 200 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: and goal and they ran Barber into the line in 201 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: the same He went in the same hole three times 202 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: and he didn't get anything, and people screamed why. So 203 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: my response is, do you really think that. The instructions 204 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: from the coach was, here's what we're doing. You get 205 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: up there to the ball and I don't care what 206 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: the defense is doing. I don't care what else you see. 207 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: I want you to give the ball to Barber Romo. 208 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't care what else you see. I want you 209 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: to give the ball to Barber, and Barber I want 210 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: you to go at right guard. That's the play. Do 211 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: that three times in a row if you have to. 212 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: That's not how it works. There's five options on every 213 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: play and a lot of times, and it happens much 214 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: more than it did in the seventies and eighties. The 215 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: quarterback decides what happened. The play comes in and the 216 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: quarterback says, yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, and so 217 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to check out of that and do something else. Now, 218 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: that means that if you criticize the play calling, you 219 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: think you know what the play was called, well you 220 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: don't know nobody. The only people who know who were 221 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: in the game. So one way that I and the 222 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: reason I asked you to begin this incredibly lengthy answer 223 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: was what kind of questions did I ask you? One 224 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: thing I've learned to do is to find out from 225 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: someone who knows, off the record, who will tell me 226 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: what's happening, because then I have to be fair and 227 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: make sure that I don't represent that it's me saying it, 228 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: but also don't say who told me. But I know 229 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: I had the feeling, for instance, in that year when 230 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: when Tony was injured and Brandon Wheaton was the quarterback, 231 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: and it looked like, as I recall, he had an 232 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: enormously high completion percentage, but there and most of it 233 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: was checked down some short stuff. And I mean, if 234 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: you'd ever seen Brandon Wheaton played Oklahoma State or even 235 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, you knew that he was capable with actually 236 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: throwing the ball at least twelve yards. Yes, so, but 237 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: he was also going to be doing what he was 238 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: told to do. He wasn't secure enough to say at 239 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: that point he'd been drafted by Cleveland. Cotty came here, 240 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna do what they tell him to do. Yeah. 241 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: My feeling from watching that was that his hands were 242 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: being tied and he was then taking a beating. You 243 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: guys lost a game, you were ahead of Atlanta. Then 244 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: there was a close game with New Orleans. I remember 245 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: Damien Wilson missed a tackle and light in the game 246 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: that was and everything went spiraling down from there. So 247 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: on Brandon Whedon, I've got to find out is it 248 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: am I crazy or a The answer is yes, you're crazy, 249 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you're wrong. In this case. Am 250 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: I completely misguided in thinking that? Fill in the blank. 251 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: And then then then I ask that question of someone 252 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: who will tell me the truth without fear of being outed, 253 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: so that I can say, look, this is this is 254 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: what I think is happening. I think that the following 255 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: is happening. So today, you know, it's it's Jason Garrett's 256 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: fault that they lost the game yesterday. Right, it's Jason 257 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: Garrett's fault. It's Jason Garrett's fault. It's not an excuse, 258 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: but it's a reason. Like Christy said, you're down two 259 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: tackles and your slot receiver. Yeah, and then you lose 260 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: your best press. I thought Amari Cooper was going to 261 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: eat up those cornerbacks all day, and to me, the 262 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: two biggest plays moments in the game were when he 263 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: got hurt and could not come back in. Now you 264 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: don't have Devin Smith up because you have to have 265 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson up because he backs up Randall Cobb and 266 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: Cobs out. Okay, now you have you can't keep all 267 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: of everybody up, So that to me changed They were 268 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: probably already probably going to be a little different in 269 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,119 Speaker 1: the way they attacked with the absence of the two tackles. 270 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: To begin with, it doesn't make sense that you're going 271 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: to stand there and throw a bunch of five and 272 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,119 Speaker 1: seven step drops and the plays that have been successful 273 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: that take time down the field. That doesn't make sense. 274 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: So let's get the ball out faster, run the ball, 275 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: shorter drops that kind of thing. Well, now you just 276 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: lost Cooper. And then the next thing I thought that 277 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: was the huge deal was the ninety two yard pass. Yeah, 278 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: because I would have kicked the field goal, but you can. 279 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: I think it's makes sense to say I'm trying to 280 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: be aggressive. Yeah, okay, because had he done that, he'd 281 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: have been criticized for kicking the field goal. That's run. 282 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: What did you think when you saw that? When I'm 283 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: with you, I think you got to take the points. 284 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta shut it down, kick it off, 285 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: go to the second half. Okay, Well, this game is, 286 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: it's great, but at the same time, you're not anticipating 287 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: a ninety two year old. That's the thing he's saying 288 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: to himself. We're gonna go for this. He probably said too. 289 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: I'm guessing I haven't had time to ask anybody. He 290 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: probably said to the play caller, you got two plays. Yeah, 291 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: so Kelen, you got two plays, and then Kelen decides 292 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: which two plays. Yeah. And the thinking that goes in 293 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: with that is the worst thing that happens is we 294 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: don't make it, and they've got to go ninety two 295 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: yards yeah in that short amount of time. Yes, and 296 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: they won't do it. Yeah, you don't know Cheeto's going 297 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: to get beat on a double move. So to get 298 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: back to your original question of about a week and 299 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: a half ago, I'm telling you, I'm soaking this all in. Yeah. 300 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: And then I'm not sure about i haven't gone back 301 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: and seen the tape yet. I'm not sure about the 302 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: angle that if he was just a tick off, just 303 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: guys fast, that's that's Robbie Anderson. My experience, Tyler is 304 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: that you can be critical if you're fair, Yeah, the 305 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: and you can get the information. First of all, it 306 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: can never be personal. Yeah. And you can even say 307 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: that was a terrible play. Yeah, you can say that 308 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: can't happen. You can say that guy missed a tackle terribly. 309 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: He knows it. You don't have this isn't trust me. Nobody, 310 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: nobody in the media, nobody talking about the game is 311 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: going to make any one of those guys feel any 312 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: worse than they already already feel. Yeah. Right, And one 313 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: thing I'd like for you to address is the fact 314 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: that all the people, over all the years, all the 315 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: players and the coaches, they hate losing more than they 316 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: enjoy winning. That's my perception for so many of them, 317 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: at least the ones that are well, they're all ultra competitive, Yes, 318 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: the best among the best. Yeah, And that's and that's it. 319 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the competitive level that it takes for these 320 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: guys to get here. Now, granted, there's maybe one two 321 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: percent that are just that gifted that they just cruise through. 322 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: And there's a couple of the guys, and there's been 323 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: a couple of guys on the rosters here that are 324 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: that good that they can just show up and be 325 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: that good. But everyone else has such a competitive edge 326 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: like losing. I still have nightmares about losing and being 327 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: late to games like those are the recurring nightmare that 328 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: I continue to have, Like I can't find my helmet, 329 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: that's ironic, I'm late for the broadcast. I can't find 330 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: the booth. Yes, yeah, I mean I'm in the stadium, 331 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: but I can't find the booths. And so I still 332 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: four year, almost four years out of the game, I 333 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: still have those because, like the biggest fear in me 334 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: is losing a competitive game like that, and that I 335 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: take that over to real estate now and that still 336 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: goes with me, and that doesn't die. It looks different. 337 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: But these guys, I'm telling you, everything that they've invested 338 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: into this, their entire life, the sacra prices that they've 339 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: put in like these hurt and so as a fan, 340 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm frustrated. I'm watching. We had a watch party in 341 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: our office last night and we had one hundred and 342 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: fifty people come to watch the game. And it was 343 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. But my gosh, like 344 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: watching that hurt so bad. And I hurt for those 345 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: those And I'm listening to people talk and make comments 346 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: and they have the answer to this, and they have 347 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: the answer to that. How do you stay in the room. 348 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: It was hard. It was hard, and luckily I had 349 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: I know, and they're great people. But this is across 350 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: the board. This isn't unique to just you know who 351 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: the people were and you listen to anything and it's like, Okay, 352 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: to your point, you think that Kellen and Coach Garrett 353 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: designed these plays to be a one yard game, a 354 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: two yard game. You think that that's what it is. 355 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: And no, and I'm not going to put everything on Okay, 356 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: hey Zach, you didn't play up to what you were 357 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: supposed to do, or Jeff Heath, you didn't do this, 358 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: or look, things don't happen exactly how they're supposed to. 359 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: But to say that it's awful play calling and they're 360 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: calling the wrong plays. Every play is designed to be 361 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: a touchdown, or you're not going to call it like 362 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: it's designed to be successful and accomplished a job, whether 363 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: it's executed the right way or adjustments are made in 364 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: the right way. I mean, you got to think, like, 365 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: let's just walk through a play, Okay, So Kellen is 366 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: going to call play and he's gonna look at a 367 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: sheet on the sideline. By the way, Coach Garrett is 368 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: not calling plays from the sideline. Just so people understand, 369 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: he's not over there saying hey, Kellen, hey, you're going 370 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: to run this play. Okay, now you relay that into DAK. Okay. 371 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: So Kellen has got a play sheet in the situation 372 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: that they've prepared all week. So he's got the play sheet. 373 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: He's looking Okay, this is the best Okay, I'm gonna 374 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: call this, which has two to three checks out of 375 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: it that you can either go a run pass option 376 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: or you can check the past to a different route. 377 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: And that's why you see him doing the signals like, okay, hey, 378 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: it's the wrong coverage. It's wrong. He's signaling out changing 379 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: the play. Okay. So then he gets calls that in DAK, 380 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: calls it in the huddle. Okay. Now they break the huddle, 381 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: they go he looks the line. Now he's addressing Okay, 382 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: what is the defense that they're showing me right now? Okay, 383 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: So now I've got to look at this defense. Okay. 384 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: Is it cover two? Is it a six man box? 385 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: Are they running the overfront? They running the underfront? Okay? 386 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: What is now? How are they adjusting to this? Okay? 387 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: Does it look like man coverage right now? Okay? Now 388 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: Kellen's offense, we're gonna move somebody and we're gonna see. Okay, 389 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: Now what is the coverage? Are they bumping linebackers to 390 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: show that his zone coverage? Are they following them across 391 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: the formation? Is it man coverage? Okay? Is it one high? 392 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: Is it single high safety or is it two man? 393 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: What is what's going on here? Is it cover three? 394 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: And the other thing that you said is defensive coordinators 395 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: make their money making defenses look like other defenses. So now, okay, 396 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: I've gone through all these steps. Now I'm going to 397 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: check the play and I'm gonna change the routes or 398 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna change the run. Now, the offensive linemen have 399 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: to coordinate. They have to talk about who the mic is, Okay, 400 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: what the blocking scheme is. The center talks to the guard, 401 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: the guard talks to the tackle, tackle talks to the 402 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: tight end. You got to communicate it to the running back. 403 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: What's the protection? Whereas the mike? Who am I scanning too? 404 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: On the backside? Okay, So now you go through this. 405 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: This has all happened in a matter of thirty seconds, 406 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: by the way, Okay, So then you get there and 407 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: now you have to go less than thirty seconds. Now 408 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: you have to go after the play. Now you really 409 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: see what's going to happen, not this show that the 410 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: defense is put on. Okay, so then now you've got 411 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: to go execute at full speed against high paid, million 412 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: dollar athletes and human beings who are doing it and 413 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: sometimes machines. They make mistakes. So we got to take 414 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: a break. We're gonna come back and talk about some 415 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: of the specifics of yesterday's game.

They've dropped their last three games. So 480 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: this will be this will be an exciting football game. 481 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: And I loved it when he said that because two 482 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: words popped into my head game on and then secondly, 483 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: I gave a little bit of thanks because after a 484 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: disappointing loss to a previously winless Jets team, I was 485 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: not looking forward to this week just because everyone was 486 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: going to be grumpy and not as many players talk 487 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff and that. But it's 488 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: a little bit of fun to have, not that you 489 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: need too much hype heading into a big game Sunday 490 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: night between these two teams tied for first place, but 491 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: it's like it added a little spice at the beginning 492 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: of the week and taking a little bit of the 493 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: edge off, not totally off the Jets loss, but kind 494 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: of moving the focus forward a little bit instead of 495 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: looking back. Yeah, and I'll say this, the difference between 496 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: there's rivalries, right, rivalries are real, but it's not like 497 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: college rivalries. Right, So there's division. You understand the importance 498 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: of divisional games, like they're really really important. The emphasis 499 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: is there. But I will say there is something extra 500 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: when we play Philly. Who did Fresno hate Boise State? 501 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 1: We couldn't be them. That's why you hate Kellen Morris. No, 502 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: I do not hate Killen just when he's wearing blue 503 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: and orange. Yeah, okay, but there is a little extra 504 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: spice there is already. And then something like this and 505 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: really like bolton board material. I mean, here's here's what 506 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: I'll say, the comments made by by Doug Peterson. You 507 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: would only hope that your coach would say those things 508 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: right and believe in it and be confident as you 509 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: go out there right as the opponent. We don't want 510 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: to hear it. We don't want to hear that noise like. 511 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: But at the same time, Bolton board, you gotta be 512 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: careful what you say because it is going to be 513 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: blasted all over Unfortunately. Do you remember Chicago twenty thirteen, 514 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: Joe D. Camillis made some Hollywood comments about the Cowboys. 515 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: Do you remember prior to that game all Buch of 516 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: these Hollywood boys from Dallas and he had just left 517 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: here right and all these comments about the Cowboys and 518 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: how we're soft and all those things. Unfortunately, we went 519 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: up to that freezing cold game and lost, but we 520 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: were hyped up that week extra just because of those 521 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: comments that are made. So you got to be really 522 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: careful about it. But at the same time, Philly is 523 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: always an elevated week. You always you always just have 524 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: this heightened sense of preparation, not that there's any less 525 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: than maybe other weeks, but there's just something A focus 526 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: is a little bit, a little bit more refined when 527 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: you play Philly. So when you look at I think 528 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: one statistic I heard today that I think this is right. 529 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have to figure out how to get off 530 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: to better starts, because even the games they won, they 531 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: I think they scored first against Miami, but I know 532 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: they trailed New York and Washington seven and the Giants 533 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: in Washington seven another, and I believe it's right that 534 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: they've not scored a first half touchdown in any of 535 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: these three games that they have lost. So, when you're 536 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: an offensive player and you're coming in on Monday and 537 00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: you're looking at the tape, what are you expecting to here? 538 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: What do you think the approach has got to be 539 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: to get off to better offensive starts. Yeah, so I 540 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: think as coaches, as they're approaching it, you've got to 541 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: be careful in trying to out coach that, right, because 542 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: you're not going to come up with something that's new 543 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: and different that is going to change this. Right. It's 544 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: got to be a constant every day, every meeting. Start fast, 545 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: that's got to be the theme. We've got to start fast. 546 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: We've got to start fast. So it's got to be 547 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: ingrained too. When you show up on Sunday, you don't 548 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: even think about it because that is that has been Okay, 549 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: every drill we start, the first two plays that we 550 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: are worried about executing are going to be perfect the 551 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: first two plays. We have to execute those plays because 552 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: we've got to we've got to get used to Okay, 553 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: all right, we change we change periods. Okay, now we 554 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: got to start fast. Okay, we change periods. We've got 555 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: to start fast. So it's got to be ingrained all 556 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: week because in reality, they're not starting fast. Thing. It's 557 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: it's really hard. It's it's hard to say, Okay, you're 558 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: not motivated, not hyped up, or you're not trust me. 559 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: Those guys are on enough caffeine to get them hype. 560 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: They're hyped up plenty. Right. It's it's more of okay, execution, 561 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: we have to execute early, and we have to make 562 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: sure that we're focused on the little things from the 563 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: first play on and we can't wait to get that 564 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: charge of oh we got to get that edge until 565 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: second half adjustments. Such a fine line because in the 566 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: loss to the Packers, coach Garrett is like some of 567 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: our guys were trying to do too much and he 568 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: was talking about getting out of the gaps and things 569 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: like that. But it's a focus on execution early and 570 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: doing the things right early. And you know, again you're 571 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: competing against guys that are coming out with that same mentality, 572 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: but you have to do it better than the guy 573 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,719 Speaker 1: from across you. And it's one by one and you 574 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: can't say, hey, our offense is flat. It's like, no, Travis, 575 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: you got to be pumped up. Zach. You gotta be 576 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: ready to go. Whoever we have starting at left tackle 577 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: this week, it's got to be pumped up. It help. 578 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: You have to be ready to go, but you have 579 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: to be focused and again not doing too much, but 580 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: doing your job and doing it how you've been coached 581 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: all week. And one thing that you said triggered a 582 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: thought in my mind about the way the head coach 583 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: approaches the team. And we'll take another break and then 584 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: talk about that with Tyler Klutz and Christie Scales. I'm Bradsham. 585 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: This is Radioheads. Your new apartment's big. Such a great deal, 586 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: that's okay, just okay. What's not right about the subway? Well, 587 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: I bet you don't even notice it after that's my neighbor. 588 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: Angus a deal that's just okay, It is not okay. 589 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: Get a great deal with America's best network.

Back to radioheads, Welcome back Brad 621 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: Sham with Christy Scales and Tyler Clouds a few more 622 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: minutes to look back on the Cowboys and the Jets 623 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: and ahead to the Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. When 624 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: you look back on the game yesterday, as you were 625 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: watching it with all these clients and people, you didn't 626 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: want to irritate. So I was a bad host, I'll 627 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: say that, yeah, because it was really hard to talk 628 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: business and then watch the game. What do you well, 629 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you do know, you know the essence of 630 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: the offense, because I mean it's got some of the 631 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: same elements. You certainly know, Jason, and as you're watching 632 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: the offense and the defense, what thoughts were you having? 633 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: What are you thinking so offensively? You know, it's it's 634 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: hard because I think that right now our offensive line 635 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: is not the unit. And we've talked about this in 636 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: the previous weeks. I don't think it's the unit of 637 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: stability that we're used to. You know, Dak's getting hit 638 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: way too much right now, and he traditionally when he 639 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: is getting hit a lot, he is a little bit hesitant. 640 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: There was one play in the end zone where it 641 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: was a stick route right, so Jason ran a stick 642 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: in the end zone. Gallop ran a stick in the 643 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: end zone. With a stick is where you run up 644 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: to the sticks or the end zone and you turn 645 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: around and you adjust based off of the coverage. Well, 646 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: Gallup had he hit Gallop on time right out of 647 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 1: his break that he was open, but he hesitated just 648 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: a little bit and and miss that throat. It was 649 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: broken up in the end zone. It's plays like that 650 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: that I'm just he's a little bit hesitant because I 651 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: think that he's thinking about getting hit more than he should. Yeah, 652 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: he was wopped yesterday and a lot. Let me say this, 653 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: he was an absolute warrior yesterday. He got hit hard 654 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: and he got up every time, and I was I 655 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: was so impressed, and I think I think Cowboy's name 656 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: should be really, really impressed and really proud of the 657 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: performances that he's put up there. Especially these last three weeks. 658 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: It's been under in adversity. It's been really tough for him. 659 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: But he's not what he was in those first three weeks. 660 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: We talked about how crisp the ball was coming off 661 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: of his hand those first three weeks. It's just not 662 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: the same as what it was. But I look at 663 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: the offense and I look at they're trying to figure 664 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: out who they are. They don't know. Yes, we know 665 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: we're supposed to run it, we know we're supposed to this, 666 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,959 Speaker 1: but then we also want to be this electric, big 667 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: play type of offense. And they're stuck somewhere in the middle, 668 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: and I don't think that they've quite figured out exactly 669 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: who they are. So there's a little bit of hesitation 670 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: across the board. Defensively, it's really tough. It's hard to watch, 671 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: because this is not the defense that we've really become 672 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: accustomed to with Rod Marinelli. Really physical, we're gonna come downhill, 673 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna hit you in the mouth, We're going to 674 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: be disruptive. We're always going to be in your face. 675 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: We haven't seen that. We haven't seen it from our 676 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: defensive line. We had really big expectations. Robert Quinn has 677 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: been a good surprise. He's played well, but again, not 678 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: the disruption on the front line that we're used to. 679 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: On the linebacker court, that's not the group that we've 680 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: watched the last two years and last year especially. So 681 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: there's something going on and I don't know what, and 682 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: I'm not inside the locker room, but I think that 683 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: we need, you know, we need a guy like Sean 684 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: to really kind of pull those guys, pull those guys 685 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: aside and hit the reset button. Guys, Look, don't think 686 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: about it. Stop worrying about what's going on, how we're 687 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: playing all this. Let's go back to being who we are, 688 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: the athletes that we are, the aggressive players that we are, 689 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: and let's just go be us and then go play 690 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: that way. And then from a secondary I think, you know, 691 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: there's been some guys subbing in and out. I think 692 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: that we're you know, there's there's been really critical of 693 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: those guys, especially this last week. There were some broken coverages, 694 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: there were some things, and then tackles like, yeah, uncharacteristic 695 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: mess tackles. We're on the offensive side of the ball, 696 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: we're not breaking tackles, so offensively we're missing tackles. Offensively 697 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: we're not. And I'm gonna say this, and I think 698 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: still Zeke is one of the best running backs in 699 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: the game, but he got paid to make plays happen, 700 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: and I have not seen him run through tackles like 701 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,240 Speaker 1: we've seen him doing the past. Yeah, the yards after 702 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: contact the last two weeks it has been And again 703 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to be critical. He no, he's great, 704 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: and not just him, I mean overall, yes, but you know, 705 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: when you don't have Randall Cobb out there, he's a 706 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: guy who you know, makes a lot of yards after 707 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: contact and things like that. But that's what's so frustrating. 708 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: And we were talking about it towards the end of 709 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: the broadcast, and the previous two weeks against the Saints 710 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 1: and the Packers, both losses, you could say, move the 711 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: ball at will it was turnovers. Yesterday, the Cowboys won 712 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: the turnover battle. Yeah, yesterday, the defense held the Jets 713 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: to twenty percent third down conversions while the Cowboy offense 714 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: was well over fifty percent. All of these things that 715 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: you look and you say, well, how do you lose 716 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: the game? Well, it was the lack of execution, It 717 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: was the few miss tackles. It was the one big 718 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, not just the one big play, but the 719 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: ninety two yard er Sam Sam Darnald put it on 720 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: the money, the thirty three yard or whatever it was 721 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 1: that they gave up to Crowder in that last score, 722 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: that was big. Yeah, the defense. The defense didn't get 723 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: the stops when they need it. And so the other thing, 724 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: the last one will be the populace wants to Well, 725 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they want it anymore, but I think 726 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: that people want to see Jason Garrett come out drooling 727 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: and breathing fire. Yeah, and that's not him. And we 728 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: were just talking during the break, but I think one 729 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: of his strengths is his consistency. He believes in it, 730 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:48,240 Speaker 1: and people the Jason Garrett the players see on Saturday 731 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: night and in practice and in mean, it's not the 732 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: guy you see in the mass conferences. Tell him, tell him, 733 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: and then what do you think of consistency from a 734 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: head coach? Yeah, so, so we'll start with Jason. Jason 735 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 1: h is as passionate of a coach as as I've 736 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: played for. I've played for guys like Lovey, who's very 737 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: level headed all the time. You don't hear him very 738 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: Tony Dungee right, obviously learned under him. But of all 739 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: the coaches that I've played for, Coach Garrett is probably 740 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: the most passionate. Now. He is very, very calculated when 741 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: he's in front of the media and he's presenting to 742 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: the public, and he does that specifically right because he 743 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: does not need to start any more sense of panic 744 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: than we already create ourselves right on this side of 745 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 1: the on this side of the locker room. But at 746 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: the consistency aspect, you think about it, And I heard 747 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: them talk about this on the fan this morning talking 748 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: about the best coaches that in the game? Right? Is 749 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: Nick Saban highly emotional? Is Bill Belichick highly emotional? Are 750 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: the what are the coaches that you can think of 751 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: right that are successful? Rex Ryan he's now a broadcaster, right, 752 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: you know the guys that have been highly emotional guys 753 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: ups and downs. The thing that players need. Players need 754 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: consistency because this game already has a ton of ups 755 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: and downs. But if you're now riding the coattails of 756 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: your head coach that has a lot of ups and downs, 757 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: that's not sustainable to have that high level of emotional 758 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: of emotional guessing. Right, you have no idea what he's 759 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: going to be that day. You cannot maintain that. So 760 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: what he's providing and honestly, it's intentional. So for him 761 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: just to say that's who he is, that's no. He 762 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: actively practices being consistent. He actively practices all these things, 763 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: which is much harder to do than to just go 764 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: let your emotions rage and flare. That's what the position 765 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: coaches are for, that's what they do. But the head 766 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: coach he has to be a stable, stable image that 767 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: the guys look at and say, Okay, we're gonna be fine. 768 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. Yes, he's critical, he's pointing things out, 769 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: but we're gonna be fine because he is not deviated 770 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: from the path that we have all set our sights 771 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: on at the beginning of the year. That's Tyler Klutz 772 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: with Christie Scales. I'm Brad Sham. Cowboys on the Y. 773 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: That's his history. Cowboys in the Philadelphia Eagles coming up 774 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: Sunday night at at and T Stadium at seven twenty five, 775 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it with you next Monday afternoon 776 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 1: on Radioheads. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys 777 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
