This is the player's level, 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:29.240 broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. Hey, 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.879 everybody knew he scrugs here with a special show today. 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.640 For those of you looking for Danny McCrae and Barry 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.400 Church Well, they were on other shows today. This means 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.040 I get to have some fun with two of my friends, 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.839 former Cowboy Everson Walls and in my fourth favorite tar 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.320 heel of all time in Carolina basketball history, Jesse Holly. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.879 As long as I'm in the top five, it's all 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.480 I Caraboba, I'm a new top five. You're in the 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.680 top five. I got Jordan's number one. You know, dog 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:03.120 team makes I five there, so he's number one. James Worthy, 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.360 James Worthy's number two, a kid from my high school, 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.840 west Over High School with Famille, North Carolina. He's about 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:11.920 to sign. He's already committed to the guitar heels, so 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.240 he could be number three. You number four because you 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.119 also helped bring a national You helped bring a national championship. 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.680 Wait wait, come on, you lissen me behind the guy 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.520 that hadn't even played yet he's he's just a recruit. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.920 You know, I understand it. But my time, like Carolina 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.399 was a great time. I went as a two sport athlete. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.600 I won a national championship. So I'll be number four 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.480 or this listen, I'll be number one and everyone else 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.440 is hard. So I'll take that. I'll take that. Now, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.880 this kid's a bus, and this kid's a bus from 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.800 your high school. You gotta move up. I move up, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.880 I move up. You know, this is one of those 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.960 things where where finally, finally, you know, here I am. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.400 I'll turn fifty in December. You know, I started going 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.000 to west Over High School nineteen before. It took this 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.680 long for us to get for somebody to be good 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.960 enough to play Caroline of basketball. So this is a 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:11.120 huge deal in my world for me and Everson. I've 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.160 always wanted to ask you this question here. Were you 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.119 a part of that group that went into the ends 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.200 on the Texas Stadium and broke up that fun bunch 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.040 when they tried to do that little little thing and 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.040 Smurst tried to do that little thing here in the 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.480 ends on it, you guys broke it up. No, I 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:34.040 can't not lie. I was not a part of that, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.480 and one of one of them, my teammates, Ron Fellows, 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.160 he was a little a little upset at me because 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.000 I wasn't there and what I was letting him not. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.120 I was, well, I was covering my man, so we 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.560 was somewhere else. So my man, he was, he had 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.280 nothing to do with the play. You were the one 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.680 that got scored on. So don't get upset with me 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.840 because you can't hold it down on your side. So 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.040 I can't just come run into the end zone. It's 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.640 already over with by now. If you don't want them 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.760 to score, if you don't want them to celebrate, then 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.520 don't let them score. That's what I had to tell 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:12.560 Ron Fellows. So no long answer. No. So so to 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.360 explain to some of our younger viewers out there, back 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.480 when Washington had won Super Bowl seventeen. The next year 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.160 they came back. They were the highest scoring offense in 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.280 NFL history, and they had a game every of course 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.480 against the Cowboys and the old Texas Stadium, and whenever 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.320 they would score, the receivers groups they called the Smurs, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.360 Charlie Brown and some of these and other guys, they 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.000 would go in the endel and they would raise their 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.440 hands like that, they jump up in the hand and 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.080 a jump up in the air to a high five. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.440 And that was when I believe Dennis Thurman, I think 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.200 thurma was wanted them to win over there, but they 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.440 were like, nah, you guys aren't doing that. Here, guys 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.800 not doing it. And it was it was pretty good theater. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.800 And I always wondered was ever since in that And 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.160 now I got my answer that it was. It was 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.360 Dennis Thurmant. It was Dennis Thurman, Michael Downs and round 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:01.840 Fellows was there. They were called a fun Bunch, you know, 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.160 they had a few names. That was a smurf. They 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.680 were the smurfs on the fun Bunch that year because 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.040 they thought that was fun. They do a little rock 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.480 and then they all go up and do a high 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:16.000 five like they were in some nineteen seventies uh cock Buddy, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.920 Cock Buddy movie or some crap like that, and uh 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.720 so so it was it was Charlie Brown, amazing. I 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.480 think the guy's name was. I think it was Virgil 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.839 say you might remember these guys, Jesse that some of 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.720 the names of the Whiteouts. Of course Sanders, who was 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.840 Doug William's favorite target, and that great Super Bowl wins. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:41.919 So and Mark was also by the way, So yeah, 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.600 yeah it was. It was a good group and they 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.720 blew us out. They blew us out that game, so 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:48.719 they can party all they want. This is up to 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:54.240 us to stop the celebration. Okay, all right, so let's diet. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.919 Oh what are you gonna say? Jesse? Ups are? No, 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.200 I was good good. He don't know nothing about this 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.599 old school stuff. Man. I'm I'm sitting up here with 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.479 you young guys. Man, I'm used to being with the 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.080 old dudes. We start off slow. You know, we have 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.839 a little tea on the side or something. You know, 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.440 you got your boy, Jesse. Jesse's probably guys energy drinke 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.159 right there. He's ready to go. So let's go. Maybe 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.960 let's go. Don't let me stop you guys from getting 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.680 fired up. Let's go, man, let's go. I'm ready, old 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.760 man can keep up. Let's go. So how about the 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.000 Pittsburgh Steelers coming to town, went in the game and 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.880 apparently bringing a whole bunch of COVID with four more 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:38.160 players have COVID, including quarterback Ben roethlisbergerg It it all 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.440 started with tight Advance McDonald. So you know the Cowboys 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.919 so far don't have anyone that's contacted COVID. But the 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.120 Cowboys were gonna have a practice this week that's been canceled, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.120 so they're just kind of virtual meetings on their bye week. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.440 Because playing the Steelers with all this COVID happening there 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.880 so a perfect truly a perfect time for the bye 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.920 week for the Cowboys. Ever, sing what did you make 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.560 of this story? Well, my thing is, how in the 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.440 hell did he even get on the field. I'm still 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:11.640 kind of confused KNWI about the protocol. If he was 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.799 tested Saturday, if he was tested Friday, maybe he shouldn't 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.440 have traveled on Saturday. You know, these are the things 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.560 that I'm not really privy too because every team seems 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.680 to have a different protocol. So to me, how when 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.520 did you find out? As the question, and if you 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.760 did find out soon, why did he make the trip? 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.159 And then of course you're look at consequences. They said 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.279 that he only caught one pass for two yards and 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.840 he was tackled by I believe it was Wilson if 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.960 I'm not mistaken, and so you know, that's just one 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.680 guy came in contact with him on the pass. But 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.720 what about blocking plays. I mean, what about the people 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.400 that he affected infected on the Cowboys. These are the 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.560 kind of things that you don't want to play with. Knwi, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.720 you don't want to play with this stuff. And that's 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.960 going back to the Dodgers, And I know you're probably 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.599 a Dodgers fan. When the when the player came out 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.160 and he knew he was making a mistake, but he 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.600 got caught up. You know, these are the kind of 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.760 things that if you're gonna stick to protocol, stick to protocol, 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.320 otherwise you are putting people's lives in danger because of 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.120 celebrations and really because of your own ego. Man, I 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:28.560 think it's really sad and scary. I consistently said that 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.960 everyone just makes this thing up as they go along. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.679 I was watching the Clipson Notre Damn game this weekend. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.120 I see Trevor Lawrence on the sideline. But what's he 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.600 doing here? This guy had COVID. You know, if he's 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.200 not playing because he's got COVID, why is he on 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.800 the sideline? So I just feel like so many people 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.800 are making this thing up as they go along. Here 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.200 and Jesse, here are the names Ben Roethlisberger, offensive tackle, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.920 Gerald Hawkins, running back Jaylen Samuel's linebacker Vince Williams there 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.880 in quarantine now and of course, um the first person 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.480 that was tested was Vance McDonald got in the reserve 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.480 COVID nineteen. Lest your thoughts on this, Jessie, my thoughts 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.119 about anything as far as the NFL and anything health 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:15.840 related is always always a joke because the NFL and 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.240 its teams and its owners, their bottom their bottom line 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.520 is always about the dollar. It's always about the dollar, 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.880 and they're going to do every single thing that they 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.080 can to make sure because they already lost money with 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.600 some of the stuff that we have to deal with, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.600 no fans and things of that nature. So they're never 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.880 going to do anything and what they have to cancel 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:42.160 game unless someone seriously gets sick and you know, and 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.160 I private it never happens, or someone is just hospitalized 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.360 because of it or even passed away from it. When 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:53.080 it comes to that Sunday profit, nothing is above what 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.920 they have to do. And that's the overall NFL. We 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.120 saw this with the whole concussion thing, right, and they're 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.080 trying to tell you that, well, this league, it didn't 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.200 get caused because of the impact of the head when 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.280 there was doctors upon doctors and science and information that 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.200 was saying, hey, guys, listen, these concussions are because of 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.440 the head content that they were getting while they were 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.640 playing football. And the same time, this right, thank god 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.720 for the movie, But I'm also hearing that that this 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.120 Vince McDonald's he was he was, he said he was 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.080 sick on Friday, And in the COVID world that we 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.240 live in today, anything of that nature, okay, should have 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.840 been looked at and flagged immediately. Oh you're sick. How 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.640 about you not travel? You know, you had one catch 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.320 So was it like you were an integral part in 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.080 our what we were doing, our scheme, So how about 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.360 you don't travel? You know, maybe you should or maybe 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.959 take a separate plane, or hey, maybe you come in 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.760 maybe the morning of the game or whatever it may be. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.600 There should have been extra We're talking about a billion 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.959 dollars industry, right, you can charter a plane and get 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.600 him to Pittsburgh to Dallas if that was the case. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.880 But no, you you you threw calls them to the wind. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.040 You put this player on the plane. You not only 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.119 caused your own players to get it, you also potentially 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.200 there's flight attendants there's TSA workers that check your bags 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.559 when you're before you get on your charter to flight. Uh, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.960 there's restaurant. I mean, there's there's hotel people that you 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.640 may have been in contact with, whether that be at 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.720 the omelet station in the morning when you're getting your 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.280 omelet or the buffet line right when you get right 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.920 right right, Allison, when you get your buffalot. You know, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.840 and there's so many people that you've now calls and 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.920 no telling what happened when the Cowboys side of things. Now, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.559 our great producer Chris Beam said, you know, even though 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.880 he had only one catch, you know, don't worry about 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.839 our dvs catching you know, catching it because they don't 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.880 catch anything at all, So they don't have to worry 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.760 about they don't have to worry about catching COVID. Oh 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:53.199 my god, No you didn't, Chris Hey. But not only that, Jesse, 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.720 as you as you talk about those extremely important uh 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:03.880 sack consequences, let's think about just on a lower level. Now, 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.720 it seems like, and you know, we will see how 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.520 it goes because the protocol is so screwed up right now. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:14.160 But it seems like now their undefeated season is threatened 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.839 a bit because you've got players that have to sit 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.280 out maybe and I don't know about Roethlisberger. They said 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.640 he's not positive. They say he's tested negative like maybe 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.760 multiple times since then, so they're trying to get him 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.040 back on the field in five days. Does that mean 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.920 I knew what you should know about this year? The 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.480 news guy that does that mean he will be eligible 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:42.040 to play next week? Does that five day quarantine? How 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.800 does that affect his playing time for next week? And 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.160 talk about big big Benny Roethlisberger. You know, that's a 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.400 great question here because I've seen it very and I've 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.200 seen some guys who had to sit out, and I've 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.559 seen some like Emmanuel Sanders, And this is one of 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.520 those things where I know from my own fantasy football 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.120 thing where I had him my team and dude didn't play, Like, 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:07.520 well he's got to sit out? What's star players? What's 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.760 star players? This is this is a good question. I 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.840 mean Cam Newton had to sit out. You know, we 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.360 saw Cam had to sit so so that that I mean, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.679 this is a great question. Is what happened and Dalton 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.040 had to sit out? When was you know, it seems 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.200 like the same situation and he couldn't play. We needed 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.280 him in that game as far as we were concerned. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.680 He was a star for us Jesson. You know what 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.880 I'm saying. We needed Dalton and we ended up going 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.400 with the news, which you know that could have made 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.360 a difference. So okay, here you're going to ask sounds 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:42.360 like new he is as well? Okay, protocol, all right, 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.559 So here it is. So Roethlisberger did not test positive, 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.400 and um, he will now have to self isolate and 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.319 test negative for five days before he's able to rejoin 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.320 the Steelers. So he could be activated from the list 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.840 as early as Saturday and then can play in Sunday's 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.880 game against the Bengals. And oh, by the way, he 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.040 hurt both of his knees against the Steelers, so so 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.760 there you go. So that's it. So he needs a 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.520 test negative every day for the next five days and 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.400 then uh then he could play. So he hurt his 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.199 heart his knees against the Cowboys and so they get 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.680 ready to face the Cincinnati Bengals. So there you go. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.559 There you go. Ever, since we'll see exactly what happens. Then, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.720 m it is at you didn't get that kind of reprieve. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.160 I wish he would have gotten that kind of consideration. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.520 I don't know what the difference was between that and ours. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.240 You know, yes, here's the difference that big Ben. I'm 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.480 just trying to figure that out, because boy, we needed 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.600 and Andy that that particular week. We maybe we could 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.720 have pulled it out. You never know. Andy tested positive 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.720 for COPD. That's the difference. Ben did not. That's okay, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.000 there you go. So so he was he was, you 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.040 know that when it called the contact tracing, he was, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.680 you know, with McDonald and near McDonald. So so there 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.880 he put him in isolation. So now he's just got 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.719 a test negative for five days and then he could 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.360 play he had he didn't not test positive for coronavirus. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.640 All right, let's get our first break in here, some 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.160 tough news for the Dallas Cowboys secondary when we come 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.520 back right here on on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Twitching things up here for the players, loude, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.160 we are bringing in two former Dallas Cowboys players, Everson 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:41.520 Walls and Jesse Holly. I'm Newy Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter here. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.560 All right, gentlemen, Rookie cornerback treybod Diggs broke a bone 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.920 in his foot and expected he'll miss the rest of 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.760 the season. Everson. You're a former former defensive back. Here 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.240 your thoughts on Diggs being gone and then how do 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.680 they make up for the rookies absence? In your opinion, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.160 you know, it's kind of a shame. We've been looking 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.080 at Digs and talking about the potential that he has. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.480 When you think about it, he's only really had i'd say, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.199 just a couple of what maybe one good game if 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.520 you want to call that good, But that's what you 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.959 expect from a rookie. It's gonna be from growing pains 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.040 with him. Just when you saw him making strides. He 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.159 got two interceptions in one game that was amazing that 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.840 you could finally see his ability to play the ball. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.000 When you get those interceptions, you know it brings you confidence. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.400 Just like if Jesse is a wide receiver, no matter 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.719 what goes on in the game, if you as soon 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.200 as you catch that one pass, your confidence is there. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:47.639 Then the realization is solid right now. So once he 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.280 saw that he can make those plays, then all of 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.520 a sudden, we're like, man, this is the potential we've 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.119 been waiting on. We're hoping that this guy could step 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.679 up and make some more plays for us. And of 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.280 course here comes the injury. I really feel bad for 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.600 the young man because I wanted to see his progress 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:08.480 continue to get better what I saw what I see now. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:13.120 He may be out for the season, with him being 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.800 a young man, if he wants to, and I'm sure 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.040 he'd be itching to come back, he may be able 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.400 to come back, whether maybe a game or two left 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.320 in the season. You know, it's hard to keep a 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.520 young man like that out, especially when he's able bodied. 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.320 But I just want him to mentally be prepared for 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.000 what's gonna be for him in the future. Sometimes if 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.720 you get to step away from the game, whether it's 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.800 to injury or whatever, he can take a look at 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.679 what's been going on with himself and say, okay, he 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.360 can hone in on it, you know, mentally, physically and 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.119 realize what he's been making his mistakes, because as a 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.760 rookie you expect things to develop slowly and so comparatively, 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.399 as his rookie year goes on, he's been developing ahead 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.960 of a rookie. He's pace now. It depends on what 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.080 standards you want to put that rookie pace on. You 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.040 want to talk about nineteen eighty one. I can go 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:12.000 back to me and my boys, Ronnie lock Kenny easily, myself, 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.800 Michael Downs. We didn't have time for growing pains. We 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:19.320 stepped in, we played our butts off, and we came through. 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.800 That's why you have a moniker. If you don't have 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:23.960 a moniker, then obviously you didn't do anything while you 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.920 were in the league. We were Thurm and Steves because 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.520 we would we would. We were thieves. That's just the 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.800 way it was. So the standard back then, I think 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.920 was a little bit higher. You had free agents coming 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.280 in balling their butts off, getting criticized. And now we 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.520 have a high ground pick who I still love to 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.359 see play, and the more he gets beat, the more 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.280 potential they say he has. So I'm kind of confused, 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.640 but I'm gonna go with it as long as it's 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:57.119 gonna make him better. No, I was. My answer was 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:58.800 going to be right along the lines. How you kind 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.160 of ended George was when you're talking about being a rookie, 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.400 right second round pick, and he played some high level 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.160 football Alabama in the SEC. But when you come into 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.480 this league there's so much being thrown at you, whether 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.200 it's learning to play a book formations. You got all 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.359 pro receivers coming at you every single week, all pro quarterbacks. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:20.400 The information upon information is being just piled on top 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.440 of you, and so you're trying to learn, I gotta 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.560 get ready for a game. Oh my god, I gotta 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.880 play Julio Jones this week. I remember watching this guy 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.560 on YouTube my whole life. I'm a rookie, you know, 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.639 and I'm trying to put all this stuff together. And 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.239 what happens is you begin to drown in some of 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:40.000 these things, right, and then you don't have Like the 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.400 thing for Diggs is he didn't have one of those 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.520 vets when you can look to your right, look to 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.119 your left, and there's a guy who's been in the 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.600 league for ten years who had something that's to say, hey, 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:53.760 rook hold on, relax, chill, look at this and give 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.439 you those little titbits to give you, to give you 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:00.200 those little tidbits that you can put away and add 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:01.800 to your game and say, oh, this is what he 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:03.919 was talking about, to sit you down and show you 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.520 how to properly watch film and say, hey, I played 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.280 this quarterback, I played this offensive coordinator, I played this 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.920 team for X amount of years. Here's what they like 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:16.359 to do in plus forty minus forty and this formation. Hey, 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.280 when they get it right here, look for these type 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.359 of combinations. He was doing a lot of learning on 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.119 the fly. He had no one to really look to 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.280 to give him any veteran information to say, hey, what 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.199 do we do right here? And so he would do 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.879 a lot of it on the fly. And I'm with 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.920 you ever since I would sometimes being based, I was saying, 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.720 he got beat three times in the row? Where's it? 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:40.160 Everybody said, well, he just keeps fighting. I said, fighting 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:47.520 win your games, right and so, but being able to 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.040 step away from the game, take a deep breath, go 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:54.000
