1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: How are you doing, Jerry Jones? Guys, good morning, Happy

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving week. And it's always an exciting time for the

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys this Thanksgiving week with that game and the presentation,

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: if you will, of our half time with the Red

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Kettle and going to the country and talking about how

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: important it is to sports Salvation Army during this time

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: of year. So apart from the football, it's an exciting week.

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: But we all know what we've got ahead of us

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: out here with the Raiders, Yes, sir, And before we

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: get to the Raiders, well, I guess we're a little

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: bit more worried about this game than we were a

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: few weeks ago with some of the injury situation and

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game. What was your assessment, Jerry of what

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: happened in Kansas City? Well, I think execution is the

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: word that comes out of my mouth. We were well

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: aware how strong they were defensively, especially with their big

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: defensive line, the big defensive tackles ninety five Jones and

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: ninety Reid. That was all over everybody's mindset going into

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: the game. And we also knew how they were going

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: to basically their coverage was going to at least start

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: the game. They played true to form. They were very

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: aggressive and created a real challenge for us between really

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: stopping the run. We went into that game thinking that

24
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: we could run that should run the ball sixty up

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: percent of the time, maybe two thirds of the time,

26
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and they did a very good job of getting us

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: out of that. And when they did that, it embodened

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: their defense. It embodened their aggressiveness. And in light of

29
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the problems you have up there, everybody has it in

30
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: communication the noise, we'd gone in there with a plan

31
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: to really check get out of plays, make adjustments, stay calm,

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: get out there and make the plays, and they took

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: us out of that almost from the very beginning, and

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: it consequently really compromised our offense. Jerry Cowboy. Critics will say, yeah,

35
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, we know about the hype and they put

36
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: up good numbers, but you know, where's the real test.

37
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: Beat a Tampa Bay, beat a Kansas City on the

38
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: road for us to take them seriously as a Super

39
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. Well, what do you what do you say

40
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: to that criticism and do you do you feel like

41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: you need those types of wins to really think of

42
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: yourself as a championship team. Well, I want to remind

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: myself that what you're seeing against Tampa won't be what

44
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: you've got on the field. When you play in the playoffs.

45
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: You've got a long journey ahead of you and you're

46
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: going to lose some of the players that you're counting home,

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: but some of the ones are going to come through

48
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: that you weren't counting home. So it's evolving. It's a

49
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: it's a it's a really a long journey to get better. Certainly,

50
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: win against Tampa Bay or a game well played against

51
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay can help you build you constantly hearing McCarthy

52
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: say we can build on this our defensive play that

53
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: we had the other day, the first thing came out

54
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: of his mouth was, boy, this really gets us another

55
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: step up the ladder. We're making some real progress here.

56
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: So I look at it as though we're building to

57
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: a crescendo and how what kind of shape we're in,

58
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: who we're playing with that's playing well. Are there young

59
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: players that have evolved after seventeen games and two players

60
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: that we are better than they were when they came

61
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: out of training camp? Do we have veterans that have

62
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: gotten more acclimated to the system, And the answer should

63
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: be and hopefully as yes to that, and this team

64
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: is capable of that. What you saw out there Sunday

65
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: is another step albeit wasn't a big step forward. It

66
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: was in some areas, it was a step backward in

67
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: some of the other areas. Can we get better where

68
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: we didn't step forward or where we took a step back?

69
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Can we improve on that? You bet we can. We've

70
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: got firstnelick and improve on it. We've got some young

71
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: players that pretty challenging circumstances there in our offensive line.

72
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: They'll get better and I think we'll be better by

73
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: the time that we get to the playoffs. Jerry, why

74
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: do you think dak has struggled in two of the

75
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: last three games that they've put Denver and then this one?

76
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest reason for struggles has been?

77
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: Number One? He has struggled when we didn't establish a

78
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: running game and we couldn't get that running game solid

79
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: so that we could work off that running game. We

80
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: went into this game thinking we'd run the ball two

81
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: thirds of the time. When you don't do that, and

82
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: then you don't have a good day catching the ball,

83
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: exchanging the ball, passing to be tried when you don't

84
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: have a good game doing that. When you get compromised

85
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: by how you're executing, then what can happen to you

86
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: against Denver? What can happen to you against Kansas City?

87
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: Very similar, very similar situation. Do you think there's any

88
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any lingering effects from the caffinjury? No? None, none, whatsoever? Jerry,

89
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: how are you feeling about it? It's tough for us

90
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: to judge the offense when you don't have two of

91
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: your best receivers and your left tackle. How are you

92
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: feeling about Tyrn Smith and CD Lamb for the Raiders? Well,

93
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: let me first address the Raiders. One of the strengths

94
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: of our team on offense is how Dak is so

95
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: capable of spreading that ball around and he takes what

96
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: the defense gives you, and it's when it's not there

97
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: to execute. When you drop the ball, you don't get

98
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: the ball where it can be caught. Then that compromises

99
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: that being able to spread the ball around. It spreads

100
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: I keep going back to it. It really keeps you

101
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: from spreading the ball around, not to be able to

102
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: run the ball. And so Dak combined with well how

103
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: did that happen? That happened because they really played well

104
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: in the interior of their line, and they consequently put

105
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: a lot of compromising on Dak as to how he

106
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: can play the game the way we want him to

107
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: play the game. So you've got to give our lack

108
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: of execution, You've got to give their execution. But the

109
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: point is there are specific things that you can point

110
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: to and specific things that you can get better at.

111
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: That caused, in my mind, a large part of what

112
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: happened Sunday to happen. Yeah. Absolutely, And then your your

113
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on the playing status for Tyran and Ceedee Lamb Thursday, Well,

114
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't don't have to say, but both have Yesterday

115
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: was not really a practice day, but both looked like

116
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: they might play Sunday. I mean Thursday. Jerry Jones joined

117
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: us here. I want to five through the fan Amari

118
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: is out for this game because of the COVID protocols.

119
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I want to I want to kind of get an

120
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: idea for the reasoning behind this throughout the league. If

121
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: he tests negative twice, you know, uh, you know, say

122
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: test negative today, that's test negative tomorrow. Why does this

123
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: vaccination and status haven then to do with him being

124
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: able to play if he's negative. Isn't he negative? Well,

125
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: first of all, he wouldn't have been testing had he

126
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: been vaccinating, so he didn't have symptoms, and so he

127
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been tested. So the very likelihood that just

128
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: being just like he is, he might have played had

129
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: he been vaccinated. And number one, number two, after you

130
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: are tested, and if you are vaccinated, you can come

131
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: back quicker. It's an automatic ten days if you haven't

132
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: been vaccinated. It's not automatic if you have not been vaccinated,

133
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: and you get to test, and you have to test,

134
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: and testing negative is important, but there's a you have

135
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: to have a couple of tests negative. It is very

136
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: punitive to get the COVID to be tried. It's very

137
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: punitive to get the COVID if you're not vaccinated. In

138
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, it's very punitive. We have a high alert

139
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: for unvaccinated players in the NFL, a high alert, and

140
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: in fact it is punitive as we see if in

141
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: fact you're not vaccinated, didn't get the COVID as opposed

142
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: to being vaccinated and getting the COVID period Jerry Jones,

143
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: we're going through a classic case of how it would

144
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: have been different vaccinated. Jerry, are you disappointed in Amari? Well,

145
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm just you know again, I said it early. You

146
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: check me at the door. And a football team that

147
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the issues of masking, not masking,

148
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated, not getting vaccinated. And if I have a tone,

149
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: I shouldn't. It just has nothing to do with it.

150
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: The facts are, it is a wee thing. When you

151
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: walk into the locker room and anybody is being counted

152
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: on to pull his weight, everybody expects that they look

153
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: around at each other. They understand everybody's rights. They do.

154
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: We do. Everybody understands our rights and our options as

155
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: it pertained to those rights. But can you if you

156
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: forget that it's a wee thing and how important your

157
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: part is. Obviously, these guys are rewarded. They're rewarded financially. Now.

158
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper is outstanding, folks. He's one of the highest

159
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: character guys that you will ever be around in any area.

160
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: And he's outstanding in mind, in his introspect and how

161
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: he does things. When it was at the Raiders for

162
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a year or two, he set up a library for

163
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: the players to read during their breaks, which they have.

164
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: So my point is he's an outstanding and we're not

165
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: in any way nobody's saying that he is an outstanding.

166
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: But this is a classic case of hack can impact

167
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: a team when people are at the end of the day,

168
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: this is not individual, it is team. You cannot win

169
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: anything individually, right, So all of that are statements that

170
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: I know everybody has heard to their blue in the face.

171
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: But the point is that this popped us. This did

172
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: pop us. Look, let's talk about something real positive and

173
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: this is number eleven becoming a positive. Let me give

174
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: you something positive. It's unlikely since he's had it, then

175
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry that much about it as

176
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the time goes longer. All right, we'll take the positive takes.

177
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: But it's a positive that he's letting that ham that

178
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: has kind of been bothering a little bit. We're getting

179
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: a two week rest on that ham. That's something that

180
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have gotten. So that's a positive at hamstring.

181
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: And this guy's addicted to optimism. Always always half glass full.

182
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: It's it's a full glass that seems with Micah your

183
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: thoughts and man, I couldn't I couldn't live if I

184
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: didn't find something to be optimistic about. It is a

185
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: big bushel basketful of that negative sitting very close Jerry.

186
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Micah's game on Sunday, Well, I just

187
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: think that he just continues to ask of himself for

188
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: more and he's just a sponge when it comes to

189
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: looking for ways to do that. He's continually trying to

190
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: improve every practice. He's his highest critic. He's a natural,

191
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: natural competitor he doesn't understand, but trying to come out

192
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: on top. And he's relentless and he is physically gifted.

193
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Now am I describing a a football player that yes, yes,

194
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: and there's no question as he gets de Marcus where

195
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: I think I said this the other day, but DeMarcus

196
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: was working with him on some of his technique relative

197
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: of Russian pastor from from the outside or possibly inside,

198
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: but anyway, DeMarcus was describing him, and he said he

199
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: made his first step, went to the outside and then

200
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: came back around him and burst And he said he

201
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: had never seen anything like it in terms of his

202
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: ability and his ability to feel a block and bend

203
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: if you will. And so he's an outstanding player, but

204
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: what's really outstanding is his mental attitude of getting better

205
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: he's a physically gifted football player that is an overachiever

206
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: and smart. Are you ready to come to my side

207
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: and put him as a full time edge rusher and

208
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: let him make the Hall of Fame that way? Well,

209
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: when we drafted him, seriously, we made a big emphasis guys, now,

210
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to draft an inside linebacker. Here are

211
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: we drafting a pressure player? And can he pressure from

212
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: the outside. The answer was a resounding yes across the roof,

213
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: a resounding Now, he got a lot of pressure, most

214
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: of it from the inside when he was in college.

215
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: Now he didn't play a senior year. But the point

216
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: is that I hadn't seen what I've already seen him

217
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: do from the inside. I hadn't seen it done consistently

218
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: by anybody. I'm seeing what he does outside done consistently.

219
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: But the point is, can he do that in the pros?

220
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: And I questioned that, In other words, he had to

221
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: think that he could do it from the outside, because

222
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: it's rare to do it from the inside. I think

223
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: he can come out of both places in pressure them.

224
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Jerry will finish with this. We know they have been

225
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: going through, I mean, just some terrible things with their season,

226
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: but give us your favorite Al Davis or a Raider's

227
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: story has got two legendary franchises getting ready to face

228
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: each other. On Thursday, we walked down to a training camp.

229
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: He comes in tossed and with the Raiders, and we

230
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: walked out there and he said, Jerry, he said, the

231
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: urgency that this team, your Cowboys have the urgency. The

232
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Raidars need the urgency that you've somehow been able to

233
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: put in a bottle and half out there. And so

234
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: we show him a little of that urgency at practice

235
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: and we're doing a middle drill. We're knocking the living

236
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: hell out of each other out there, and he walks

237
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: right out in the middle of the drill and stops

238
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: it right there, and everybody's wide can't believe he's stopping

239
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the drill. And he said, I want what's being expended

240
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: right here in the risk of it. I want that

241
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: against the Bears, or I want that against Denver. I

242
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: don't want to leave it here on a practice deal.

243
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: In August, we've had enough of this drill. It's two

244
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: dangerous for these players. Wow, did you ever think about

245
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: wearing a cowboy's warm up suit strictly like avers only?

246
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: Jack evers only jacket a lesson. I loved it. I

247
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: really loved his just his persona relative to wearing what

248
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: he wanted the Raiders to be. And you know, I

249
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: was two things that I'm really proud of regarding the Raiders.

250
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Number One, I was the only one at his seventieth

251
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: birthday that was not a Raider in Las Vegas, the

252
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: only one there though, of around the NFL. And then

253
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: at his memorial, I was the only non Raider or

254
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: I was the only NFL person there that he headed

255
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: his memorial there in Oakland. So I was proud of

256
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: all of that. But I thought he's outstanding. His son

257
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: is really really doing an amazing, really an amazing job

258
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: of what he did to put that team in Las

259
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: Vegas and get it to the point that it is

260
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: right now in Las Vegas. His father couldn't have done

261
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: His father couldn't have done it, but Mark kept pushing

262
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: and got it done. So I'm proud of Mark. Well, look,

263
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: it's great to have another Thanksgiving week with you. Enjoy

264
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: the Duck, enjoy the peas, and let's all enjoy a

265
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: win on Thursday with the Salvation Army as well. Thank you, Jerry,

266
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: Happy thanks, thank giving, thank you Bane,
