Speaker 1: which which we discussed. I haven't had to wear a

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: TV makeup in seven years. It made no difference. It

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: is so liberated. Hey, I'm litter. Do shoot in a

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: minute because I like to share intimate details on this show.

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: You know, I was once married to a guy in

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: sports and I gotta say it was a little bit

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: of a turn off seeing him put mac powder on,

22
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: studio press powder on at night and then take it

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: off and ask for a nuture gena wipe. Yeah, am

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I allowed to say that? Or they wanted the sponsor.

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we should reach out to new You're getting another

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: problem issue that you had a man that was taken

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: out of makeup you you have to wear. He said,

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: it was a problem that it was kind of weird

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: that it was weird. Do you want me to recommend

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: a concealer line part from Dallas Cowboys Media? Right here?

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: What's there? Everybody's getting sexy to the Cabagehill and this

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: is Clarence Hill Junior. It was funny because things go

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: through my mind when you said, what see now you're

34
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: getting no makeup? I was thinking about when you opened

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: with uh your whatever how you opened, I was thinking,

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: DELI beloved, you know dey beloved. We are gathered here. Yeah,

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: we said, yeah, I'm thinking about the printing. Absolutely that went.

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: We're going to Minnesota to do the game. We're gonna

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: beloved back out there. Think called life. See you've worn

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: some TV makeup, you do all the TV stuff. I

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: mean Nick saying, Clarence, say the line you just said

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: to Steve, you don't make no difference. Well done. But

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: here's the face for radio. Here's the thing. I used

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: to wear glasses on TV ever since I turned like

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: forty five, purely cosmetic. I'm just gonna come clean right now.

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: I could see fine, but I covered up the bags

47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: on my eye. That's really funny. I wore glasses my

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: first year in college, so my professors would think I

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: was smarter. And that's evil. That's that's a different touching that.

50
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: That was a layup. That was like just gonna lead that.

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: If it was a guy, you're to say, no, could

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: let Steve be all vulnerable? Hey, out of mind. I've

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: got a rule in life and I've passed it. And

54
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: you're getting close. Oh wait a minute, you may already

55
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: be there. Hey maybe not once you turn sixty. Cosmetics

56
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: are out the window. Definitely not yourself. I just don't

57
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: care anymore. You did, so look at the big old

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: bags and think I care speak for you? Actually healthy?

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's dive in. We've got some stuff

60
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: happening in practice. Slater Jane all over it on Twitter

61
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: as we're the rest of everybody. We'll get to that

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: in a minute and get to that later in the show,

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: but we got to start with Dak. I mean, you

64
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: guys are out at practice, all three of you. Uh

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: so you know what's up with his Wednesday participation. So

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: let's start with chill. What is up with Dak on

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: this Wednesday's plan? That's plan. There's no doubt about a

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: CD city of ninety percent. You know. Obviously McCarthy's not

69
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna he has to be smart and say the right things.

70
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: But they're pointing toward Dak's plan. You watch him. Um

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: certainly started out with Britt Brown on the court, athletic trainer,

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Britt Brown, the best in the business here that Britt

73
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: um All on the course. I know it. I know

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to get off. He started, he started doing

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: individual drills. I mean there was you know, we've been

76
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: you know there've been signs pointing out a part of

77
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: the beat if you haven't been on it, Yeah, there's

78
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: been signs pointing all the way back to last week.

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: When you see him at the stars gave me see

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: him at the concert. He's wearing cowboy boots. You know,

81
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: when he when he came and talked to us on

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: Halloween costume and you there's no boot on, he's jogging

83
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: and he's you know, throwing passes. It doesn't look like that.

84
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: He looks like that. That's what CD. He looks like that.

85
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: You didn't look at the difference. Certainly Mike McCarthy and

86
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Will McClay, you know, hoped over him why he was

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: doing some of his rehab work, and certainly get an

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: extended to look at him. But he looked good. He

89
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: looks fine. Certain that they've been smart about it, but

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: he looks fine. Hurt well, I was just gonna say, I, uh,

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: full transparency. I I had to leave practice after seeing

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: him on the Resistance Chords to go to TV for

93
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: NFL now. But seeing him move latterly on the Resistance Chords,

94
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: moving with Britch strapped to him and backpedaling, doesn't seem

95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: like there's any limitations in the calf that I saw.

96
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: And then of course you guys saw him to throw,

97
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: so you give those observations. But everyone I had reached

98
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: out to, starting back last week to this week, I

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: would be absolutely floored if they didn't play him. The

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: only thing that I heard from Mike McCarthy was the

101
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Do you want it to be a lingering issue where

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: it pops up week to week? You know, is this

103
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: a game that you think to yourself, Well, maybe if

104
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: we give ourselves one more week to make sure he's healthy,

105
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: if we're going to make a push with him, do

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: we want to make sure this is fully healed? Because

107
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I think if you, if you let that decision come

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: down to deck every week, Dad's gonna tell you wants

109
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, Dak would have played in the preseason.

110
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: I think if they would have let him go. I mean,

111
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: he was ready to go at practice. We saw him go. Remember, yeah,

112
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: they've they've got to protect him fro himself. But I'd

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: just have no reason to believe he's not playing on Sunday. Yeah,

114
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: I agree with with all that. I do think that

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: if he if he was still dealing with it, you know,

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: and with in a lot of pain, they wouldn't have

117
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: him upright here on this early into the week. Um.

118
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: But I'll say this about a calf injury though, Um

119
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: it's the calf injury is as a drunk uncle that

120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: you're not really expecting to show up until they show up,

121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: and when it shows up again and says, hello, I'm back.

122
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: How does he handle that? How much pain is that

123
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: going to be in? I will be shocked if Dak

124
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: plays this game and you don't notice anything. He was

125
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: talking about you as the drunk uncle by them now

126
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: because you've been I'm uncle Clarence. But listen, listen to me,

127
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: and I hear you. I think that you know, Zach

128
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: Martin talked about he had a calf injury calf stream

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: before and how it affected him. And certainly we know

130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup has miss five games number one. I don't

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: think it's as serious as those, you know, just based

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: on how he's handled it. And I also think the

133
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: fact that he plays quarterback there there's not as much

134
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: asked of a quarterback as a receiver on that thing.

135
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy brought up to day that you know, Aaron

136
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers played with the cash training towards the end of

137
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: the season, including in twenty fourteen, including the famous game

138
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: in Green Bay when they beat the Cowboys on the

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: catch that wasn't and he was throwing dimes all over

140
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: the field. But the profession and urnlan that comes at

141
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: that point in the season, and you're really only looking

142
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: at one, two, three games. I mean, you're leaking. He

143
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: played several games on it, But I'm just saying though, yes,

144
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: But but my point is you're asking Dak to play

145
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: through this, and you've got a lot of season left,

146
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: and you've got a lot of divisional games ahead of

147
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: all that. I think that again, going back to the

148
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: initial point, it depends on how serious it is. Of course,

149
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, so to me, if it was really bothering him, yeah,

150
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: you don't want it, lingering, you don't want it, But

151
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it's bothering him. That's where I'm at.

152
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: When he when he got out of the New England game,

153
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: he had fun with everybody in them and said, oh,

154
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: you guys can have fun with this during the bye week.

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: And I love it when media members get exasperated. I

156
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: don't think it was fun for everybody. I got my

157
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: glasses on now so I can read. I was gonna

158
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: go after your partner, Rob Phillips. And by the way,

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: we had, as you said, a trade deadline trade. Nick

160
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: is in for Rob today that I just switch aroo

161
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: on you. I mean, did it? No, that's fine, No, No,

162
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I just I wanted to mackaro. I wanted to go

163
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: after Rob a little bit on this because in his

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: three and out segment that he does every week on

165
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com, he was exasperated with it already.

166
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that you guys that have been talking

167
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: about it for seven silid days or whatever. Here's the

168
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: quote that he wrote. He finished his story with this quote.

169
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: If he's ready, he'll play. If he's not, they'll see

170
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: how next week go. Simple as that. And I just

171
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: don't think it is as simple as that, because this

172
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: is what's simple to me. They want him to play.

173
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: He wants to play, everybody wants him to play. Can

174
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: he make it worse? And or will the extra week

175
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: make sure he can't make it worse. It's as simple

176
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: as that to me. And even if he's out there

177
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: running around doing what you guys watched him do today

178
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: and he says I'm fine one, I mean, George Kittle

179
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: has the same injury and he's on the shelf for

180
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco for the well, you just don't know, you

181
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: do know what? Well, what you don't know is if

182
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: in one second, just like the second when he threw

183
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: the game, when he touchdown passed, he came down on

184
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: it funny and and now I don't know if a

185
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: week would make that much different than we go back

186
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: and I agree they're tricky. You go back to Kevin

187
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: Durant a couple of years ago, he had the cash

188
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: strain um you know, in the playoffs that led to

189
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: a killing injury. I hear you, but well, it's up

190
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: to those but but but again, I didn't want to

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: make the point all cash strains are not the same.

192
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: It's clearly not as bad as George Kittles, it's clearly

193
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: not as bad as Michael Gallop, even though the position.

194
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: You just how they're rehabbing him, how he's able to walk,

195
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: and you know without the boot and all that stuff

196
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: you looked at with Gallop the for a few days

197
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: weeks after his injury, he was not doing the same

198
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: things Dack doing. It's not the same injury, right, And

199
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: like and I said, what stood out for me at

200
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: least was seeing him basically doing a weighted back pedal today.

201
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: So like, when you're doing that, I would imagine if

202
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: that was if you had something flaring up, they'd be

203
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: a problem. But I think the real test is going

204
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: to be how does he feel tomorrow after going through

205
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: the practice today. And that's what Mike McCarthy is essentially

206
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: cushioning and saying, there's these thresholds for us. But that's

207
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: why I just kept saying, if we don't see him

208
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, it's going to be because of that. And

209
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that he'd be smart. But but

210
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: this notion that the quarterback is different than the white receiver.

211
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: I get that there's a different level of acceleration, but

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: he's a very mobile, very physical quarterback, and so does

213
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Steve's point. Even when he threw that ball in the

214
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: final play, it was it was sort of this jump

215
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: ball on the run. Yeah, no doubt that's what he does.

216
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: I guess one thing I want to conscious to us

217
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: is because we think because we see it for the

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: first time, it's the first time it's happening. I guarantee

219
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: you the things he did today, he's already done. Oh

220
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that. So it's not about how I mean.

221
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee this was not the first time he's throwing

222
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: passes and done the distant course with with with with

223
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: britt He did it Monday. He did he did something

224
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Monday for Jerry to say on the radio. So we

225
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: saw it. So so therefore is you know, yes, it's

226
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: how he looks and how he's recovered. Well, I'm on

227
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: him today, But it's also he's already done and recovered

228
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: and convinced he's playing on Sunday. All right, But but

229
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: let's be cautious on that as well, because if you

230
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: you started by saying he's gonna play, he is. It

231
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: is a process and that could change in ten seconds. Well,

232
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees. See, the only thing guaranteed in life

233
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: is that you got to pay taxes. I understand. But okay,

234
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: so but again its existential here. It's uh. I mean,

235
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: there's no question he's getting on the plane and he's

236
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: going to Minnesota, and he has every intention of playing.

237
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: They have every digital playing him. But here's what I

238
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: would say, guys, there's a lot of players that are

239
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: playing through injuries right now. I mean, Mark Cooper is

240
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: playing through multiple The only concern that I would have

241
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: is you don't exactly have a lot of depth at quarterback.

242
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: If something were to happen to your at this point

243
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: in the situation, think today said Cooper Rush is a baller.

244
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Did you see him in a preseason. He may be.

245
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: He maybe come hit functionable baller who knows pason. The

246
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: fact that you said he may be this is is

247
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: like what fifty functionally all I meant for a game

248
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: if necessary, I would trade one game in Minnesota with

249
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is the quarterback if there's any chance of

250
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: risking seven games later. I wouldn't be opposed to that strategy.

251
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's going to happen. Like I said,

252
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent sold on the fact that Dak

253
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: is playing on Sunday, and they are and again I

254
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: hear you and I understand it, and they would do

255
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: so as will I think they would do so as well.

256
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: The bottom line is but they would, they would do

257
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: so well. But the bottom line is is not. It's

258
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: not that couldn't drive because I don't think they think

259
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: as as serious as all of that. Because anyone that

260
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: I've talked to you about this injury even going because

261
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: my initial concern was if you because I watched the

262
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: tape back a couple of times, was will this right

263
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: half strain put any additional strain on the right ankle?

264
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: And I couldn't have gotten more dismissive text back in

265
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: other words, he's fine, He's gonna be fine. I mean

266
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: they Jerry Jone said the other day he was more

267
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: worried about the shoulder. It is about this cat And

268
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: they said that was nothing as you and they were right. Yeah,

269
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: well they were right. They went and got second opinions

270
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: on that because it was something that they it wasn't

271
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: an injury that they didn't track necessarily in football. I

272
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: think they've got enough information as relates to calsting As

273
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: saying so but my diligence as but chill. My point

274
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: on that is, any time you hear from Jerry Stephen

275
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: anybody else, none of them are going, oh man, Dak

276
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: may miss half the season. I'm scared to death. Never

277
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna hear that. They were. They were just as positive

278
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: about the shoulder cushioned. I feel like this year he's

279
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: been pretty transparent with some of the serious transparent. I

280
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: mean when when it's seriously acknowledged it, I mean, let's

281
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: be honest. They when when when Gallup was out, they

282
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: said it was out, DeMarcus Laurence, they said it was out.

283
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: They don't They're not sugarcoat and something just for us well,

284
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: we're not tracking gallups calf injury like you would track Daks.

285
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: So there's been no follow up. Okay, he's got a

286
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: calf injury. He's out for five games. There's been no

287
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: follow up on it. What five games? It's a calf injury.

288
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Dak has a calf injury and he's gonna miss no games.

289
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: But it's a different deal between Gallup and Daks and

290
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: there's a different calf injury. Yeah, it's a different case,

291
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: not as serious. But that's a mystery that we don't

292
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: understand with an injury like you guys are d he'll play.

293
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: You'r you sound one hundred percent sure he'll play. I

294
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: think I'm ninety five percent sure he'll play Minnesota. I'm

295
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: seventy percent sure he'll play against Denver the next week.

296
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about calf, not anything else that happens.

297
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: That's where I think it could happen. I really believe that.

298
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm somebody that's living through I'm not

299
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: an athlete nowhere close to that. I get it. But

300
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you it's an injury that will pop

301
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: back up if you get on it too early. So

302
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: next week we can be talking about a more see

303
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: that I have not just like, you know what, if

304
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: you're going to sit out a game, wouldn't you rather

305
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: never denver? But no, rather not the calf more not not.

306
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: But I'm saying in terms of opponents, in terms of opponent,

307
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: but not play and come back. I think the two

308
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: things that work here. Number One, we're not giving them

309
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: enough credit, okay to think that they would risk Dak.

310
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Of course, of course they were not going to risk Dak.

311
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: If if if again, if that was the case that

312
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: he could injure it and called the miss game, they

313
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't play him. I just don't believe they would put

314
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: him out there. I don't get it out. I don't

315
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: know if I agree with that. NFL players play through injuries.

316
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: She just mentioned Amari again, that's risky Amari, but every week. No, no,

317
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: that's not true. That's true. But I have we've heard.

318
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: But MARII also is able to pull himself out in

319
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: multiple times during the game, and they have incredible depth

320
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: at that position. All I'm saying is this the nature

321
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: of the NFL Beast. You get your players ready to

322
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: play these games matter. Wildcard the question every trainer always asked,

323
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: is kild you heard it worse? And the players like,

324
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: tape it up, tape it up, tape up my forearm.

325
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: It's broken. He's not gonna heard it worse. That's the

326
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: question they heard. Shoulder. What would he that's that's the

327
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: jack hammer and his ankle back. It's fine, it's just

328
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: take him again if he can't if he if he

329
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: can't play, that he won't play. But I just I

330
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: think all of us are read talking to people within

331
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: these walls. The read and the feeling right now is

332
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: he's absolutely gonna play. Yeah, And it's not a feeling

333
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: that we're doing this in spite of evidence. Sam they

334
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: can make it worse. They're really confident. My point on

335
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: that was it's not as simple as some people want

336
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: to make it, because it can linger. And the code

337
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: said it. The one thing we don't want is for

338
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: this injury he become a six week injury where he's

339
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: week to week every week. You want it to heal,

340
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And yes, we have to trust

341
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: the trainers. They're very good at it, especially here in Dallas.

342
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. The guy's back pretty quick

343
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: this year. To the credit all right, we got about

344
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: three to four minutes here. The other situation that came

345
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: up at practice today that I heard you explaining on

346
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: the NFL network this afternoon. We'll get more into it

347
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, because we want to

348
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: do a little who's in, Who's out type thing and

349
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: talk about the infusion of talent that the Cowboys are

350
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: about to get their own guys back. But what's up

351
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: with Lyell and what's up with right tackle and what's

352
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: up with left guard? So I was reaching out yesterday

353
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: just because I was curious, and I had gotten told

354
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: by someone that they thought Lele's going to compete, And

355
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: I found that very interesting because why wouldn't you put

356
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: him back? They're at right tackle. And then when we

357
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: get to the Star and Mike McCarthy reveals that Terrence

358
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: still is going to start the week, which I don't

359
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: think he was saying he's starting. I don't know what

360
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: y'all's takeaway was on that. Yeah, I got the sense

361
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: he was saying but confused. Yeah, but he was saying

362
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: Terrence still was starting the week. They want to get

363
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: into a where them and keep in mind, this offensive

364
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: line has not played together at all this year. The starters.

365
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, Zack Martin was out the first week with

366
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: COVID and then but Terrence still has done an admirable job.

367
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: They're at right tackle, and they're kind of going with

368
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: that hot hand theory which they did with Romo and Dak,

369
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: which I thought was interesting back in twenty sixteen. But

370
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: remember on media match, I dropped it was it Rob

371
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: Phillips that was sitting here or was it you? And

372
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: I'd said, I don't think that they're done with the

373
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. I've been hearing some rumblings about some frustration

374
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: with the production at left guard that was like week

375
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: one or two. Yeah, and so maybe this has less

376
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: to do with putting Lyle on notice and saying can

377
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: we move him over to left guard, which he hasn't

378
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: played since this rookie season, get a better production there

379
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: and then, which is funny because Mike McCarthy last year

380
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: wasn't about the whole best five idea fantasy football right,

381
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: fantasy football nonsense. But you're sending a message to ly

382
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: all that and a lot to a lot of this

383
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: team that you're jobs are not guaranteed right now, which

384
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: I think is an interesting message. I don't know if

385
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: it's going to actually happen, but you're also sending a

386
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: message to Connor Williams, who's in a contract your We're

387
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: going to need something more from you too, so right,

388
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: But so whatever, whatever he's whatever is happening there, I

389
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: think is very intriguing to me because it is creating competition.

390
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: It does give you some position flex especially when you

391
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: start looking at this offensive line and you know some

392
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: of the injuries that are popping up. But I don't

393
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: think we should just read this is an admonishment necessarily

394
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: of lall. I think that this is sending two messages.

395
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: And when we watch practice today and that it was

396
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: very interesting that right off the jump you had all

397
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: over there working at that left guard position and Connor

398
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: Williams off to the side for all of the No,

399
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that that's what you ended

400
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: up started mixing them in there. They were, they were mixing, man,

401
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: But I don't think that Layouts was working with the

402
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: starters right off the bat. He was when they were

403
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: working I watch off right off the jump, when they

404
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: were going through some of the drills. They immediately put

405
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: all there and had Connor and it was just kind

406
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: of this awkward little check for Connor. I think, well,

407
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think that let's let's be honest, Connor's

408
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: been on notice. If Connor needed this to be on notice,

409
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: then then he's not paying attention. I think he I

410
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: think he's been clear. I think I don't think it

411
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: saying so this is this, This is not breaking news

412
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: that Connor Williams has is a problem, has been a problem. Okay,

413
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: it's also breaking news that center is their problem has

414
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: been a problem. They're concerned about center and left guard,

415
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. And if this means you

416
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: get your best five up there, then that's fine. But

417
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: there's also something at right tackle. You know, because people

418
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: I know and talk to still say that Leo Collins

419
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: is still the best right tackle on this team. Nobody

420
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: will dispute you on that. But I think that you've

421
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: got a younger guy in Terrence Steel, You've got a

422
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: cheaper guy in Terrence Steal. And if you have some

423
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: continuity on that offensive line and he's doing a good

424
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: job there, what can we see from somebody like Leo

425
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: Collins over there at left guard. I'm not saying it's

426
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna stick, is my point and all of that, it's early.

427
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: And then what people also need to understand, and you

428
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: were you know Leo Collins was not a Pro bowler

429
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: at left guard. It's a rookie. It's an alternate as

430
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yes, okay, I'm sorry. They don't want they

431
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: don't want you to know that. They don't like to say,

432
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: but he was. Listen, the best left guard on that

433
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: team is the win that went to Denver. Of course,

434
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: Ron Larry ron Leary was that team that That offense

435
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: line did not take shape until Ron Leary went over

436
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: the left guard. So forget the Pro Bowl. I'm sorry

437
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: saying Pro Bowl all I'm saying that Ron, I mean,

438
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: Lao Collins was not great at left guard, regardless of

439
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: alt and all the other mess that people get put

440
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: on the team because somebody gets hurted. Ron Learry was

441
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: the best left guard on that team. So to say

442
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: to put him in left guard means they're gonna get

443
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl level left guard. I don't know if

444
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: that's the case. He may be better Cardinal Williams, but

445
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: it's not like you're solving all your left guard. Let's

446
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: hear Nick on it. And then well again, we'll get

447
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: back to it in about thirty five to forty minutes. Interesting.

448
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: Another scenario here is the locker room. I mean, one

449
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: of the most liked players on this team in the

450
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: locker room is Lyle Collins. So and again, if it's close,

451
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean Terence Steele, it's it's like it's like been boxing.

452
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: If you're gonna if you got the champ and you've

453
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: got to you know, someone that's a contender and then

454
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: goes to the cards, you better really beat the champ

455
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: to get it the belt because it can't just be even.

456
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: And so that's the thing. I don't know if it's

457
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: Terren Steal has done great, but I don't think it's

458
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: that much better. And you gotta remember not better at all.

459
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: The locker room. This guy, you know, if this guy

460
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: goes and has a it was a really weird thing

461
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: that happened, and they probably you have heard his side

462
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: of the story and think he got screwed over and

463
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: then he comes back and loses his job, Like that

464
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: could be a mess, and is it a mess worth having?

465
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: If it's close, did you watch practice? It's funny you

466
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: bring that up because I noticed it was like Lyle

467
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, ty and Secky was over there and Tyren Smith,

468
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: and then over the side was Terrence steal with like

469
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys. And so to your point,

470
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I found myself wondering that as well. And I also

471
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: have to warn and I'm not accusing that Lyle would

472
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: ever do this, but why would you go be really

473
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: great at the left guard position this week while they're

474
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: trying you out when you know that your position is

475
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: right tackle? Like, is he going to give his all

476
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: at left guard? Better? I'm not saying that he wouldn't,

477
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: but that's not who he is. But I'm just saying,

478
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: let's back up some we haven't talked to you mean, like,

479
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: oh wait, we're gonna take a break right now. We're

480

00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,720

Speaker 1: We'll do that later. And are you going where I

484
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: think you're gonna? And McCarthy did say that he wanted

485
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: to reward. He believes that Terren Steell deserves some kind

486
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: of reward, which was interesting, Well, since Clarence is going

487
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: to bring up well where I think he's going good too.

Speaker 1: The sound of music to young girls was magic. Yeah.

548
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: As a brother, I'm going, I'm going, why are we

549

551
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: We're talking about today's kids. But anyway, as we go

Speaker 1: whiskers on kittens out if you want to chill about

554
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: this five and one Cowboys team at the bye. There's

555
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, a lot of games ahead.

556
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: Let's just everybody name a favorite thing, one at a time.

557
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that favorite thing and then move on to

558
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: the next nick. You get to go first, your favorite thing.

559
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: My favorite thing is that we are using Trayvon digs

560
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: his name in the same sentence as night Train Lane time. Well,

561
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: I like Nightrain I mean he only speaking of fourteen

562
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: picks in one season, like in nineteen thirty five. And

563
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: what was he a little later? Was these people on

564
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: Twitter start to google Night Train Lane a little later

565
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: than that? It's always good to learn. Was he play

566
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, did he plays as well as Night Train was?

567
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: It was come on, he was just the fact that

568
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: every week it's something else said, Yeah, I mean I've

569
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: compared him to Dion. I think Dion's the greatest athlete

570
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: to ever play in the NFL. Um and I you know,

571
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: he's shut down that position. But the fact that Trayvon

572
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Diggs is doing things like that, Yes, it's gonna it's

573
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna end that the streak will end. They'll probably be

574
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: a big streak of three or four or five games

575
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: without a pick. But it's, well, does he do it

576
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: this week against Kirk Cousins. He's only thrown two picks

577
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: this Year's crazy, but he's thrown a million in his career.

578
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: Throw one crazy to me? That was like, you just

579
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: don't think of Kirk Cousins like that. He's actually had

580
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good year this year and we just typically

581
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: don't give him that much credit. They played nobody, but um,

582
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: that is a good choice. They are ten straight games

583
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: with multiple takeaways, which is an NFL record. Uh oh no,

584
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: it's a team record. Ties the team record. Diggs with

585
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: a six in a row of course to start a season. Uh,

586
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: that ties an NFL record. So it is a good choice.

587
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of favorite choices that we

588
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: can make here, and Digs is certainly one of them.

589
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: And maybe tomorrow on the show, we'll do what are

590
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: the things that you're most concerned about? And I have

591
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: a feeling one of them, maybe that all this fund's

592
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna end or it's gonna level out, and you just

593
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: mentioned it. All right, nice one. Your turn, Clarence, what

594
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: is your favorite thing? I mean, the layup is Dak Prescott.

595
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't think we can we can

596
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: talk too much about what Dak has done at three. Yeah,

597
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: you did. The lay up is Dak Prescott. But I'm

598
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm gonna say, Randy, I'm shooting from head,

599
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm gonna say, Randy Gregg, dang it stolen.

600
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: Oh you just did too. Then I stole it. You said, Dak, No,

601
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: I said, the layup is deck. But but I don't

602
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: want to lay up, So I'm gonna dribble back out

603
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: and so everybody can see me with my bandana on.

604
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that's Clarence. I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean Rand Gregg

605
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: get the sausage to get what he's what he's gone

606
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: through his comeback and and bringing a pass for us

607
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: without the Marcus Horns out there. The thing about it

608
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: is not just it's it's a favorite thing because you're

609
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: happy for him and for what he's gone through, what

610
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: he's endued and got. It was working in the Amazon warehouse,

611
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, you know, in the off season, trying to

612
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: make ends meet when he was suspended. So you feel

613
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: good about him. Because one thing I've always said about

614
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: everybody talking about Jerry, I always takes chancel on these

615
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: guys and get these guys, the bad guys. Randy Grey's

616
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: not a bad guy. No, okay, he's not greg hardy,

617
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: He has no issues of jurisprudence. Okay, the things he's

618
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: done has been a harm to himself, but no one

619
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: else well. And and so those just let me jump

620
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: in here because I've been anti Randy Gregory for a

621
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: long time a lot of people. That's all true. But

622
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: when you say things like that, you missed the point

623
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: that he was a second round draft pick that did

624
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: not help his football teams. I agree, But okay, but

625
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: when I say bad guy, though I'm talking about he's

626
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: a wonderful guy. I'm talking but that's what I'm talking about.

627
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: But that's where I'm at. I'm just saying that you

628
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: root for a guy. Certainly, he's had his issues. Everybody

629
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: understands he's been a disappointment as a football player. No

630
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: one's denying that. But I'm just saying a lot of

631
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: times people try to group all the guys that Jerry

632
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: gets second chances too in one pot. You know, these

633
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: guys that got these off the field issue. These guys

634
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: got these issues with dwiyes and drugs and and you know,

635
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: domestic violence. They're not all the same, you know. And

636
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory again, Jerry I was talking about me a

637
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: smart guy. He's always been open and authentic about his

638
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: issues and what he's going through. You're getting mellow in

639
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: your old as. I'm just saying, you feel you feel good.

640
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: Everybody cares about the human side, everybody, I think. But

641
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: there's no buts. There is a but it's my it's

642
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: my favorite thing. It's not a but. Well, it's open

643
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: for discussions. I think I thought so many times you

644
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: believe in a person's potential and then they never realize it. Right, Yeah,

645
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: And that's certainly to your point. When I think of

646
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: like these second chance guys were Lando McClean comes to mind,

647
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: you're bringing these guys in. Jerry stayed and rode with Randy,

648
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: and as someone who has gotten to know Randy pretty

649
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: well over the years and seeing all these twists and

650
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: turns to see his buy in this year, the mental

651
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: clarity to feel like the things are really clicking for

652
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: him has been huge. And that gets me to my

653
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: favorite thing, which is Dan Quinn. Who would have thought

654
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: that just by changing that defensive coordinator position, how he

655
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: would have such an impactful relationship with so many players,

656
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Guys like Randy Gregory, guys like Micah Parsons. I mean,

657
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: look at this secondary group and what he's getting out

658
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: of them. You finally found a coach that can admit mistakes,

659
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: who puts people in positions to succeed, is not afraid

660
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: to go and actually reinvent the will so many people

661
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: I hear these coaches in the offseason, Oh, I've changed

662
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: or I went back to the drawing board. It really

663
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: feels like Dan has. But he's able to turn this

664
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: group around so quickly, and to have an appreciation for that,

665
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: you'd have to really understand some of the layers of

666
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: what was going on that defensive side the ball, some

667
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: of which was never reported. It was bad last year,

668
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: really bad, which is why we actually haven't seen Jerry

669
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: Jones ever get rid of a defensive coordinator after just

670
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: one year. But he did it because it was that bad.

671
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: But to see this turnaround as quick as they have,

672
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: Dan quinnsmen one of my favorite things. I want to

673
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: say something else about Randy Gregor, who's a huge part

674
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: of that. You know, these AP voters that vote for

675
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: a comeback Player of the Year, they need to quit

676
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: worrying about the injuries because yeah, yeah, that could win

677
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: it this year. Joe Burrow could win it. I get it.

678
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: They have a team of people trying to get them back.

679
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: He's going to rehab this ankle rehab, this knee rehab,

680
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: whatever they're expected to get back. And I'm not saying

681
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. What they're doing is awesome.

682
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: Who's working for Randy Gregory to get back guys like

683
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Alden Smith a year ago, that's the comeback player of

684
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: the Year. You're coming back from being in a dark,

685
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: dark place and trying to do it with not a

686
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: lot of help. You don't have people calling you all

687
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: the time. You have to make that choice that you're

688
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And so if somebody like Randy Gregory

689
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: gets to double digit sacks this year, that's the comeback

690
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: player of the year, not these guys that are coming

691
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: back from injuries and playing in quarterback and doing that

692
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: at twenty five, twenty six, this type of game, it

693
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: would almost be a lifetime comeback for Randy Gregory. See,

694
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give the other side of this

695
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: real quick, because I've always been on it. One of

696
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: the agreements that I made in my twenty three years

697
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: covering the team. To me, it's always about the football team.

698
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: You know. A people used to always say, are you

699
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: friends with any of the guys, and that No, I've

700
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: got enough friends. I'm not friends with any Dallas Cowboys.

701
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm here for. It's about the football product.

702
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: The problem with and by the way, you brought up

703
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: Alden Smith, which was a risk that went haywire, and

704
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: there are many of them. The problem with Randy Gregory,

705
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: and it remains a problem, and no everybody's happy for

706
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: what he's experiencing right now. It's a wonderful story, but

707
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: there were three four different times that the organization and

708
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: fans trusted him and it went south. So it's a

709
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: trust thing. Can you trust Randy Gregory And unfortunately players

710
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: with that track record right when you need him most,

711
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: let's say in the playoffs, all of a sudden, something

712
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: can go south again. And you're so naive about life.

713
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: That's because because when you have issues, it's about the

714
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: football team. It's about life. Okay, when you when you

715
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: have issues, it don't just hey, I'm overcome my drug

716
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: issue has gone away. I agree, you know, it's about

717
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: the about relapse. I mean, it's always about a coach

718
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: that can work with a player like that and get

719
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: the best out of him. And when you go back

720
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: to training camp, Randy just lit up when he talked

721
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: about Dan And that was a relationship that was formed

722
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: ahead of the draft when he came and worked him

723
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: out at Nebraska. That is someone who said to him

724
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: early on, we want you as a featured pass rusher.

725
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: It was that belief in him and he got a

726
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: clean slate with football and life and out. But the

727
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys made move to replace Are you still Smith's side

728
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: after last year? Cowboy? He's having a tough time in life.

729
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: The Cowboys made moves to replace Randy. Okay, they did not.

730
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, once he was gone,

731
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: they moved on with the football team. Okay, they moved

732
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: on and they brought in defensive and they brought into

733
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: other guys to replace him, to take care of the

734
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: football team. Not true, Well he's been here all on

735
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: but and to help him football team. But and to Okay,

736
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: I'll take it back to football for you to help

737
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: your football team. They're not paying him hard to be

738
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: and think of the production they're getting from there helping you.

739
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,479
Speaker 1: Sam Is, we're six games into the season. I would

740
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: prefer we were talking to Randy. Let the story happen

741
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: before everybody starts heaping things. Don't want to start talking.

742
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: What are your favorite things that five and one? We

743
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: understand it's only six games. You said favorite thing to

744
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: five and one, and now you're trying to poop pose

745
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: it's only six games, not favorite thing is yeah, because

746
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: it makes no sense. This makes no sense. There as

747
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: you said, it's only six games, when you made the

748
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: favorite thing that I'm gonna get to my favorite thing now,

749
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: couldn't if you want to pooping no kiddy, especially on

750
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: a Wednesday coming out of a bye week. There's no

751
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: reason to be, no reason to be this heated. I

752
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: know you're rooting for Randy. Good for you, and I'm

753
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: Randy's doing things for the Cowboys. All I'm saying is

754
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: the trust part of it. Let's see it playing. No

755
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: one said in the case. All right, here's my favorite thing. Uh,

756
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: it's been a very long time, in my opinion, that

757
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys have had a coaching advantage. That's my

758
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: favorite thing. I mean, just think about it. How long

759
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: has it been since the Cowboys went into any stadium

760
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: on any Sunday, Thursday, or Monday and they had a

761
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: coaching advantage? And now your point with Dan Quinn, huge

762
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: point the culture he's changing on that side of the ball,

763
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: and how all the players have bought in. But it's

764
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: more than that. It's it's how he figures out how

765
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: to make things problematic for the offense in the right

766
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: times of games. Kellen Moore, who leads the league in

767
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: points and yards and same thing. Whatever did Bill Belichick

768
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: on the road? Just punked him literally, got the first

769
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: win on the road against one of the best offensive

770
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: minds in the game. And I'm going to take it

771
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: to McCarthy as well, and I think that give him

772
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: some credits. I'm thinking he's being ignored in this. He

773
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: is the only the second coach of his ZILK in

774
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: the Jerry Jones era. The other one Parcels. I mean,

775
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: Jerry tried everything. Jimmy was his college buddy, Switzer was

776
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: his college buddy. Chan was the hot offensive coordinator. Campo

777
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: was the beloved guy who was a part of Super bowls.

778
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: We're going to keep it in house. Parcels was the proven,

779
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: long time head coach who would won a Super Bowl.

780
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: Then he went to Wade, who was the you know,

781
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. He got his boot, his boots back

782
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: in Texas. Uh. And then he went to Jason Garrett,

783
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: who was back to the young prodigy coordinator. Now he went,

784
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, Wade wanted to hate me, but Wade doesn't

785
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: hate anybody. That's what I loved about him. He would

786
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: talk through anything. Now, McCarthy is very subtle in in

787
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: why I think he gives the team an advantage that

788
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: they haven't had in a very long time. We'll see

789
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: it play out later when they're trying to win something

790
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: that's where you're going to see McCarthy's experience that they

791
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: haven't had. Jason Garrett never went on a playoff run,

792
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips never went on a playoff run. You can

793
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: go all the way through them all. So I just

794
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: think it's neat for Cowboys fans, if you think about it,

795
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: to finally have a coaching advantage. And I think it's helped,

796
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: Like and we've talked about this before, I think it's

797
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: helped that he's been able to endear himself to them

798
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: in a room physically, to be able to go and

799
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: do team dinners, to connect on the road. I mean,

800
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: there's so much about football that really does come down

801
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: to connection, team bonding, building, the locker room chemistry that

802
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: they really didn't get last year. And what I was

803
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: told by players who played for Mike before, the one

804
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: thing that they loved about him was the way that

805
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: he puts such an emphasis on them taking care of

806
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: their bodies. And if you look at a lot of

807
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: these guys, they're looking to extend their careers five, ten,

808
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: fifteen years. And when you hear him talking about the

809
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: time that he gives them on Fridays for their you

810
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 1: know there their headspace and taking care of their body.

811
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: I think that that goes a long way. Feeling like

812
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: you've got a coach that gets you and isn't running

813
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: you into the ground. Look at the bye week, I mean,

814
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, when is the last time we said, you

815
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: know and yeah there was one you know instance where

816
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, you know well with Demonte Casey. But

817
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's probably going to happen regardless. I mean

818
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: of the situation. He gave them the whole week off.

819
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: We've never really seen that before, and so I think

820
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: that's huge. That's saying a coach saying, I get it,

821
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: it's a long season. I trust you take some time

822
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: for That goes a long way. I mean, think about

823
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: your own bosses when they're not micromanaging you and they

824
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: treat you like an adult. That goes a long way.

825
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the team like after the in

826
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: the team huddle when when they win a game and

827
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: you kind of you know, you see the locker room

828
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: speech and all that. What are those guys always saying.

829
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: They're always saying this and it never really works, but

830
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: they're like, see see Wednesday, that that's the one thing

831
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: they want to hear is we'll see you Wednesday. That

832
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: means Monday, Tuesday. Off, it doesn't really happen, right, Two

833
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: things real quick, rookie Beamer pop up Clarence's camera. Oh

834
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: you missed it. See he were born Clarence. He's on

835
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: his phone. He's like, you know what, he's kind of

836
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: like a child when he takes into a restaurant. When

837
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: he gets worked up, he has a temper tantrum. Just

838
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: give him his iPad, know the coloring book to move

839
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: that over. But I liked I liked the comments today

840
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: from Gregory was one of them. Who was the other

841
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: one that called him out for being kind of lethargic?

842
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 1: Could practice today? Um? Who was the other one? Gregory?

843
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh it was Dalton Schultz. Actually, yeah, they were a

844
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: little sluggish. That they were sluggish to practice. I love

845
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: that that. And then Zach Martin made the comment when

846
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: they got back to work Monday that the energy in

847
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: the locker room they wanted to go back to work. Yeah,

848
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: they you know, they enjoyed thereby. But let's go see.

849
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy is going to be a long haul credit because

850
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: he knows the steps of a run and to win something.

851
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: And so I would trust him on that when it

852
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: comes up, and if it, you know, instead of getting

853
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: run over in a playoff game, maybe his leadership will

854
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: give a listen. I I've got to eat Crow a

855
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: little bit this year because I do think that he's

856
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: done a good job navigating this team. I think he's

857
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: sort of connected with these guys on a different level

858
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: this year because a lot of the guys kind of

859
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: felt like not that he was checked out, and to

860
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: be fair, there was a lot of stuff going on

861
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: last year. But I feel like there's a deeper relationship

862
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: with McCarthy this year, and he does feel like he

863
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: has a player's coach and the sense that even when

864
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: you hear him talking about the guys in the podium,

865
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: you feel like he's in your corner. And I think

866
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: that that goes a long way. So I last year

867
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: was tough for a guy who is trying to connect

868
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: with a new team. Technologically, it's a lot easier because

869
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: I use the comparisons of Kevin Stefancy last year. But

870
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: Kevin's also a younger guy, so it's easier for him

871
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: to connect with those young guys. I think it's also

872
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: about the players, and he's done a great job, but

873
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: you're also talking about a young team. But Dak and

874
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: Zeke they've been through this, They've they've suffered since twenty

875
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: sixteen when everything has come through, and I think they

876
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: have a different result. They talk about the selfish and

877
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: Amari and you talked to the arrivatives coach, you talked

878
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,479
Speaker 1: to everybody. He set the tone for that whole group

879
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: of being you know, not me guys. And look at

880
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: the staff for being unselfish and you don't expect that

881
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: from that realm, right, and they all root for each other.

882
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: So yes, McCarthy has done a great job, but also

883
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: I think these players are part of that who has

884
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: set the right tone sort of starting with Dak, who's

885
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: probably one of the best leaders, greatest leaders this organization

886
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: has ever known. And that says a lot. When we talked, well,

887
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: we've talked so long to you about getting the right

888
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: type of guys. These guys feel like they finally got

889
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: the right type of guy. We talked about it, or

890
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: Garrett talked about it. Well, Garrett talking about it, Garrett

891
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: talks about it. But is this year and brought in

892
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: but knock on wood, we're not seeing these guys in

893
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: the headlines this year for the wrong reasons, and we

894
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of that, and Garrett didn't have

895
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: a lot of But but the bottom line is, you know,

896
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: you want the right kind of guy, but let's let's

897
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: let's let's bring it back. They got players bringing it back.

898
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: They got they got great, but they got right right

899
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: kind of guys in that way that they yea from

900
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: a scheme. Yeah, they got from it. Probably I was

901
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: talking about I was, I was talking about the other

902
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: I was saying this the other day. Can I can

903
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: I say this right quick? Little Nikki's raised his hand.

904
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: When was the last time we had a Cowboys had

905
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: a defense? Well? Yeah, playmakers on every level, well up front,

906
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: every level you're talking about when they were a good

907
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: team were left in any time a two thousand and

908
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: seven who the playmaker in the secondary defense was really good?

909
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: I did give player in the second difference makers, you

910
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like I point there, Terrence ken handling,

911
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: they made the Pro Bowl, Anthony Henry had a lot

912
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: of picks, but they weren't considered playmakers on the Terrence

913
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: Newman was on that level. Now he was not love

914
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: him like Chris No. But some of the guys you're

915
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: talking about, haven't they've done it for a minute, digs Mica.

916
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: They've done it for a minute. That's all we can

917
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: judge it on right now, Steve, I want to just

918
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: wait until a show. Thank you. At one point, you're

919
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: you're right. Everybody's right about we haven't seen this, and

920
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: I've called the most unselfish team that I've seen in

921
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: a long time. There has not been a bad loss

922
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: yet bad losses that they had a loss, but it

923
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: was almost like a win. It was a win of like, man,

924
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: if they play like this, they could win all these games,

925
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: and they have they have. It was a moral victory.

926
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say. It was a more

927
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: victory because that morale got up and they won five

928
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: in a row. Wait till they have a bad loss,

929
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: because any loss at this point it's gonna be bad

930
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: because they're probably gonna be favored. Wait till they do that.

931
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: Then we'll see how they respond the next week and

932
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: all that. But was that not the Patriots game for you?

933
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: With the penalties, the way the roughing was going. When

934
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: we talk about going in overtime, you're on the road.

935
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: For me, that was a game that I sort of

936
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: thought that some of this was an anomaly. In other words,

937
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm like you, there's a lot of cowboy fans like,

938
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can trust this. I would

939
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: shut down that only what is new England? Two and four?

940
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: They're not a very good football team. They're not two

941
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: and four now they're three and four, but three and

942
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: four the Jets now the Jets on the jet and

943
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: he was throwing with two minutes to go, and he's

944
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: up a million. The way they hung in there in

945
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks game when you don't have Zach

946
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: Mark on your offensive line to go and it's Dak's

947
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: first game right out of the gate, the Chargers game

948
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: on the road. There have been some signature wins this

949
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: year that I felt that these guys have really shown

950
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of resilience and a lot of confidence and

951
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: belief in themselves. And when I look ahead at this schedule,

952
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: barring major injuries to your quarterback, looks pretty easy. It

953
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: looks they're gonna lose one though. Okay, let's let's wrap

954
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: this up in Minnesota. Could be that game, and let's

955
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: could be that game. I don't have what's fun about

956
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: They just traded for you boy who they're running back

957
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: from Houston mark ingram is ah boom and zoom. But yes,

958
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: and I've got that game this weekend. He's joined on

959
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: Twitter Fantasy Team Star. Yes, he's on Twitter while we're

960
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: sitting here talking. That's exciting. I just gotta lessons over hey.

961
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that all of our favorite things

962
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: we should have a little poll on which one will

963
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: blow up first. I mean, they could all be over quickly.

964
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: Diggs is amazing. He's gonna cool off. Gregory, let's hope not.

965
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, I think is going to get a job

966
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: somewhere else next year. The coaching advantage, two of them

967
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,439
Speaker 1: could get a job next year. So enjoy it while

968
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: you can. It's my point. All right, let's get to this.

1026
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta ask you something. He's like, he Goaues,

1027
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you to do something I've never asked

1028
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: you to do since you've been working here. And I

1029
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: just said, cover an MC championship game. He was like, no,

1030
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: not that, something else, but uh yeah, Dative was just

1031
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: I was just thinking because people say, man, you've been

1032
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: here forever, you've seen it alls like I haven't seen

1033
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: an MC championship game. I've had the distinct privilege of

1034
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: war with both of you guys, when I've been laid off,

1035
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: you're in there. You ain't in the business if you

1036
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: haven't been fired or laid off. I think it's four

1037
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: times for me. The last one kind of hurt though.

1038
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: Slater replaced me. No, I didn't. Oh, here we go.

1039
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: I was just kidding. You and guy both replaced me. Okay,

1040
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: but I left and then you left you. You went

1041
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,479
Speaker 1: on to bigger and better things. You gave him about

1042
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: five minutes and you were gone. That's how much you

1043
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: missed me. Um, all right, let's get into this. I

1044
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: know you too. Wait, what's you got? No, you don't

1045
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: want to hear it because I just know it. Go ahead. Yeah.

1046
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: The worst thing is I know what he's thinking. The

1047
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: worst thing is is I know what he's thinking. He's

1048
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: problem years and years. I brought up Archer. Archer wrote

1049
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: this week during the bye week, and I love Archer

1050
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: and I'm not calling him out. I'm just teasing him.

1051
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: He's talking about how they're in cap trouble for next year.

1052
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: At the bye week. You have to think ahead. I mean,

1053
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: it's a problem, damn thought ahead for a lot of

1054
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: He's helping them thinking five and one and and there's

1055
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 1: panic in the streets. Oh my god, there's screwed. There's

1056
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: no honesty. I've worked before, and I know one thing

1057
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: you hate is talking about money. You don't like the math,

1058
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: you don't like talking about that's the general manager's job.

1059
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: Why do the media have to deal with now? If

1060
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: you just get it done? If noion, well that's up

1061
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: to that. No, no, no, no, he's right. If it

1062
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: affects the decisions on the field, you have to consider

1063
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: the cap. And we're about the cap because you got

1064
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: to follow the money based on who's gonna be on

1065
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: the team or not. But right now, this is about

1066
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: operation la. I don't look to what I wrote in

1067
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: the start telegram. But it's also about getting these younger

1068
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: guys playing time so you don't find yourself in cap hell.

1069
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: Let's okay, it's about operation now. This team has a

1070
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: chance to operation both depth for a deep run here

1071
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: and you can start thinking about next year in your cap.

1072
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, this a chance to win, Okay,

1073
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: focus on winning next year. You say that doesn't really matter,

1074
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: so matter okay, But but but the decision right now, Okay,

1075
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele is a better player because they kept playing

1076
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: him last year, even though he was like, why are

1077
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 1: they playing this guy? Diggs is a better player because

1078
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: they threw him out there. So now you figure out

1079
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: with Lyle's situation, is he gonna be our tackle next year? Yeah?

1080
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: Maybe not. If it's close then maybe Terrence Steele, just

1081
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: keep keep
