But he brought 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: up with yeah, I was trying to think of something 29 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: that would knock you up. I don't know. I guess 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: if you had to, like an infection or something like that. 31 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: Your face. We know it's always tooth. No, it just 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: says tooth. But I'm trying to think it's not the 33 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: first time. There's been other players that this has happened too. 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: This isn't the first time. I'm just trying to think 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: of a tooth where you guys went practice that day? 36 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: You think people I want to say, who wasn't micause 37 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: somebody else this season had a tooth and they didn't practice. 38 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: Sounds like sound like Jane does not believe it's a tooth. 39 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Sounds doesn't sounds like that side of the table skeptical, 40 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: sound like she doesn't trust I just boss man. Fact, 41 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: if my boss at NFL Network goes and says Jane 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: Slater needs to accept more responsibuilding in some of this 43 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: stuff off to the side needs to go away. It's 44 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: like it still feels like there's stuff still here. Wait, well, 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: first of all, the sickness, if he's really sick, you 46 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: know it was ravaging through the locker room. You don't 47 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: want him here because you don't want Michael to get 48 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: it or someone else. So if you you say you 49 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: six day at home, it's best for the team, speaking 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: of Michael, doesn't say seconds that's tooth I know. But 51 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: she was. She was questioning the sick she says. She says, 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: you questioned the sickness a couple of weeks ago. And Jane, 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: if you had a tooth issue, let's say a chip 54 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: front tooth or something, would you still go on the air? 55 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: Would you play like a champion this maybe not being 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: happy with the way your teeth looked for that show? No, 57 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: she would. Now that's hitting me word, It's it's true. 58 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm very vain and I one hundred percent, but I'd 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: be well, okay, so I don't want to make it 60 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: sound like exactly the dollars cowboys can't do some cosmetic 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: work for you, uh outside of office hours. Now, FINFL 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Network is like, Jane, we can get you into a 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: doctor and fish that too for you to go tomorrow. 64 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I'll be like, let's go about you. But yes, you 65 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: are hitting the vanity thing. That is okay, So I'll 66 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: go to you NEWI Hey, look your TV. I feel 67 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: like in twenty twenty three, we're starting the media at 68 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: mash off a lot of negativity. Yes, you know you 69 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: fire shot shot high today, but it's critical thinking, I guess. 70 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: And it's funny because we brought up Mica up to 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: a certain extent. So let's talk about Michael. The hand 72 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: is fine, Oh now you're gonna here you go, There 73 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: you go, there you go? There you going going with this? 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: It's officially confirmed. I think it's a laceration on his hand. 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: That's it's not confirmed. I was told he's got to cut. Yeah, okay, 76 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: cut his hand, But no one wants to tell us 77 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: how it happened, right, because that clearly means it wasn't 78 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: in football. So he cut his hand, and so that 79 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: brings us back to a formerly famous cut hand around 80 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 1: here before somebody cut the hand on soup, does brunt, Well, 81 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: that's what he's sad. He was caughting up carrots to 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: make soup. You know, it's always good when Jane gives 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: you a snort laugh. No, we know d did not 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: cut his hand on. It couldn't make a soup. You're 85 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: you're his pr guys, so yeah, yeah, that's your guy. 86 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I ever asked as exactly what happened. 87 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: We know what happened. We don't keep it up. Yeah, 88 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: we know what happened. We don't find me. I don't 89 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: remember if I remember that we talked about nigga sad stopped. 90 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: Don't don't do this, don't do this right now? I didn't. 91 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: Can you text me about that right now? Oh? I 92 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: remember this now. It wasn't even that bad though, when 93 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: you right, but it wasn't even that bad. We just 94 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: didn't report it, right, It wasn't even because they weren't reported. 95 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: But remember I was like, why would you even lie 96 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: about that? Well, you know it's funny because let's go 97 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: back to training camp. Let's see he cut his foot 98 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: on me some clown stuff, which I reported or I 99 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: tweeted he did. It was clown stuff. Bro, Why you 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: he told me it was clown stuff. So you remember 101 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: it was before the charters got lesson here is don't 102 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: tell Clearance anything now. It were clowns. I said, how 103 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: you heard your foot clown stuff? So Mica clearly cut 104 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: his hand doing clown stuff because it wasn't on the 105 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: football field. It wasn't in a game against the Eagles 106 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: or whoever else. Hey, I'm not gonna name it was. 107 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: You know, it was something away from the facility. Head 108 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: coaches that do the same thing what clown stuff they 109 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: do clown stuffed different things. So there are reporters that 110 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: do clown stuff exactly. So I'm not gonna get in. 111 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm so getting back to Dann Brian. He didn't cut 112 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: his hand on on no carrot clown stuff. I'm sure 113 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: needs his hands in theory to help wrap up opposing 114 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: offensive players, and he's playing with a clubbed hand club 115 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: so when it comes to a tooth, I'm having a 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: hard time with Calvin Joseph. And when you got a 117 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: player like Micah on the defensive side of the ball, 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: I think it makes it hard for like Calvin Joseph 119 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: to endear himself to the coaching staff. What's the vibe? 120 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: Don't even get into this, Jane. You know you don't 121 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: know the vibe. I don't know the vibe. That's how 122 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: you got busted. That's why there's a break. That's why 123 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: there's a break. You can tell Jane, Jane tell me 124 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: when I get invited to the barbecue. Oh my god, Jane. 125 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: Jane doesn't understand. That's okay, It's okay, It's okay. I 126 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: got bused, Jane. It's it's we can tell Jane confused. 127 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm feeling more basic than ever. There's a break, and 128 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: when that break comes, well it's you'll get it really quick. 129 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: So okay, um, Sam, How it's starting for the Washington Commanders. Yes, 130 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: normally I'm thinking, all right, pretty easy. You know, rookie 131 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: from North Carolina, they should be able to handle. But 132 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: then again, we saw Josh Dobs show up eight days 133 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: before go to Tennessee and handle his job. So how 134 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: how do we feel as it's Dallas week up their 135 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: final reagul season game? Same how going up Clais? I 136 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: think we would be remissed and not talk about the 137 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: Damar Hamilton's situation, the Hamlin situation before Sam Howe, only 138 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: because you say this after all of this, I know, 139 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: I know, after you started in with some clown stuff 140 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: I did, but it was it was a good stuff. 141 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: Shame Newie for the way he stopped this much. I'm sorry. 142 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: I love Newis. It was though. Now what I'm saying 143 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: is though that whose show is this? Last I checked, 144 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: it was Newis. It's always Clarence his show. Wherever he's at, 145 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: it's his show. I'm sorry that was not that's this ingenuous. 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: He's not sorry. I am sorry. I care about to show. 147 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: I care about new care all of y'all. I care 148 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: about our watchers, viewers. I just think that it was 149 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: so when we talked to the locker that that's all 150 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: everybody talked about. Certainly Mike McCarthy was very poignant about 151 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: it and how the teaming over for the viewers. Okay, 152 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: very poignant about how the how the team handled how 153 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: they were handling it with the team, and he said 154 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: that was our focus today more so than Sunday, and 155 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: they were focused on dealing with the players and how 156 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: they were handling the situation. Mentally mostly you know, it's 157 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: it's it's watching someone and that whole situation. They're all, 158 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, a fraternity you know of football players, and 159 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: that was something we've never seen before, and it's something 160 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: they've never seen before. Well they kind of the players 161 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: were talking about how it kind of you know, reminded 162 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: some of the Marcus paul uh you know incident that 163 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: happened here where he ended up passing away um and 164 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: you know that was that was in the team's weight 165 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: room and there were other players around. And so the 166 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: thing with me is it's one thing to see somebody 167 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: go down to another when you see someone that have 168 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: to get out to defibrillator and you're just seeing things 169 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: that you just have no human being we really wants 170 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: to see or should ever have to see. So yeah, 171 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: and the only thing I would say is different than 172 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: DeMarcus cup paul Is Marcus poll Is because it was 173 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: a horrific situation. But as football players seeing an develop 174 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: a football player, it happened to you on the field 175 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: doing a routine play. Yeah, that just that makes it 176 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: even more personal. But what you have to go out 177 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: and do you know, it reminds me of and I 178 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: didn't know how to articulate or ask this question. But 179 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: I had a buddy who was what they call a 180 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: first to center, and so they used to drop him 181 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: over waterfalls in a kayak and then you would dissent down. 182 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: And he said the moment he started questioning whether he 183 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: was going to survive that drop is when he had 184 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: to quit. Because the moment that fear or that thought 185 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: that you could get hurt enters your mind, that's when 186 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: you can find yourself injured. And that's why I didn't 187 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: think they should play that game, because those guys are 188 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: all thinking about that hit and that moment and when 189 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: you're kind of messed up, and because it is such 190 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: a fast game, at such a physical game. You know, 191 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: I was worried about the possibility of other injuries happening 192 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: as a result of But I just but I just 193 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: wonder if these players, because to your point, it's something 194 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: you don't ever think about. You are prepared. Certain hits 195 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: as it relates to concussions are bad, right, But this 196 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: idea that something that mostly happens in baseball or in 197 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: hockey could do something like this, And we still don't 198 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: have word that he's in the clear yet. That is 199 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: what I think is concerning for so many people. And 200 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: to see the very we think of so many of 201 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: these guys with helmets on right. We don't see their faces, 202 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: we don't see their emotions during the game, and we 203 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: think of especially younger kids. When you think of football players, 204 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: you think of them as larger in life superheroes. And 205 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: it felt like they were all just wounded, wounded emotionally, 206 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: wounded physically. And I think that was the thing that 207 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: was so hard to watch. And I think for a 208 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: lot of guys that weren't there to see such strong 209 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: guys show such strong emotions, no doubt. And we talked 210 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: to Dak about it today, and you know, he's been 211 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: through a lot, you know, he talked about Marcus Paul 212 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: stab he talked about his brother passing away and the 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: mental health aspect of it, and and that's what people 214 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: don't you know. There's so many people worried about when 215 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna replay the game, and how does it affect 216 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and how does it affect this weekend's games, 217 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: And if you really care about the players, it's not 218 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: just about the physical it's about the mental health part 219 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: of it. And that's what Mike mccarthury talked about today, 220 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: how he's taking care of you know. They had Jonathan 221 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Evans other team Chapman speak to the team today, but 222 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: they all talked about how to appreciate the moment, and 223 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: everybody talked about Mike Parson talked about went and called 224 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: my dad and my brother and calling my family and 225 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: let them know I love them. And because you never know, 226 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: and so we you know, as players and as fans, 227 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: and it's me and people just you care about the 228 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: outcomes all the time and don't understand and don't really 229 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: care about the people that are involved in the outcomes 230 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: and how it's more than just a game, you know. 231 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: And and I thought Mike McCarthy was great today and 232 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: he really set the right tone and said, we're not okay. 233 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: Nobody's fine here. Everybody says we're okay, but we're not okay. 234 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: And he reiterated that it's a team meeting, you know. 235 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: Dak said he talked again about it after practice the 236 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: day when he broke him down. You know, we're not okay, 237 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: and it's you know, I feel like mental health has 238 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: gotten thrown around in recent years, and people have talked 239 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: about it, and I think it's interesting to see how 240 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: that discussion has evolved. Not to bring myself into it, 241 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: but this was a really challenging year for me. And 242 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: I know you've gone through stuff with your dad and 243 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: Dak's gone through stuff, and I have such a level 244 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: of empathy. Like finding out in October that my mom's 245 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: got a year to live. I found myself not able 246 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: to do my job. I was not okay in the 247 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: month of October, and I saw it professional help. And 248 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: I am such an optimistic person and things always have 249 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: a positive outcoming. I'm a professional, and so I think 250 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: not that I dismissed mental health, but I don't think 251 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: I ever saw myself get so dark, and so I 252 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: think I have a level of empathy for people that, 253 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, maybe saw this stuff on the sidelines. And again, 254 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: not to make this about me, but I didn't understand 255 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: how someone close to you, when it's not it's not 256 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: happening to you, but someone close to you that you 257 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: love knowing that they're not okay, how that can affect 258 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: your day to day. So I love you. I love 259 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: you guys too, but do get home because it's I mean, 260 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: it's helped to me. I'm I'm in a much better place. Yeah, 261 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: as a media person, I know you can identify, and 262 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: I think that we need to say this, and this 263 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: is a media match, so let's let's talk about this. 264 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: The SPEN announcements in the studio on the side of 265 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: the game, we're putting a horrible situation because they didn't 266 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: know and they had to feel time and talk, and 267 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: I just thought they did a great job, from Lisasaulters 268 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: to Ryan Clark to Troy and the guys in the movie. 269 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: They didn't try to overtalk, they didn't try to say 270 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: things they didn't know. They really just laid it out 271 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: there and they did a great job. And I've always 272 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: said this as were sports guys that the sports media 273 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: and the most versatile members of the new room, because 274 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: we have to cover everything. I know, covering the Cowboys, 275 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, we've covered deaths and murder trials and drug 276 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: trials and stadium issues and football games, and you have 277 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: to be able to cover everything. And that was just 278 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: Yeoman's work by the media to every ESPN well. And 279 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: I felt for Lisa Salters because as you can imagine, 280 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: when you're watching all the coverage, you know, I had 281 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: some people text me to say, where's Lisa? And I 282 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: was at the Pro Bowl a couple of years ago. 283 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: Remember when when Kobe died and there were reports that 284 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: his daughter, his family and there were so many conflicting reports. Well, 285 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: Lisa had worked very intimately with Kobe early in her career, 286 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: Susie knew him well. I remember mark Ingram coming up 287 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: to me and saying to me, Jane, tell me, tell 288 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: me his daughters are not on that plane. And Kaylee Hartong, 289 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: who works now for Amazon, was covering at FREEBC and 290 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: we were texting and I just saw how she was 291 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: having a hard time with it. And it's you know, 292 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: as journalists, you are supposed to be objective, right, but 293 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: it's hard not to have emotion because to your point, 294 00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: I've worked on the new side of worked on the 295 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: support side. When you cover a new store, you get 296 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: close to some of the people you interview. But a 297 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: lot of times, these stories, unfortunately, are one off. With sports, 298 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: you're showing up and covering people for sometimes five, eight, 299 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: ten years, and so seeing what she saw and covering 300 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: as many games as you had and being there in 301 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: real time, and now I can't imagine the eerie feeling 302 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: of being the only one left there in the stadium 303 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: because there weren't many people at that time. When they 304 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: went to her and saying tell us what you thought saw, 305 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: and I think some people said, well, she got emotional. 306 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: I think we would have criticized her if she didn't 307 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: show it up wonderful. And for people who said they 308 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been covering it, I disagree. You're coming to 309 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: a place looking for news. There wasn't a lot of news, 310 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: but I think that's where a lot of the analysts 311 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: came in and I think shined as you're giving context 312 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: because as journalists we haven't suited up and been on 313 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: the field, at least some of us here, and so 314 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: I thought they did a good as job as they 315 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: could given the circumstances. It shifted into a news story. Yeah, 316 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: it was a football game that shifted into a news story, 317 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: and they that's what they had to transition into. I 318 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: thought Joe Buck did a fantastic job in Troy Atman. 319 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: What they did do was present facts and as that 320 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: was happening that night at Channel five, they asked me 321 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: to be the lead story to start off the newscast 322 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: and then they said, well, what if we ask you 323 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: a question. We want to ask you a question, And 324 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: I said about what, And my thing was, I'm not 325 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: going to give you a take or an opinion. If 326 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't have any facts, then I'm not going to 327 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: say we cannot be wrong here and will a postpone suspend. 328 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what the NFL will do. All I 329 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: know is by saying we're not playing the game now, 330 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: they're giving themselves whatever options they want. But to say 331 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: or speculate, this is not the time. If you do 332 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: not have a fact, then do not say if somebody doesn't, 333 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: if it doesn't come from the team, it doesn't come 334 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: from the family, then we should not say anything other 335 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: than this is what we know. And Scott Van Pelt, 336 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: by the way at Sports Enters he was going about it. 337 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: I thought he did a very good job. But that's 338 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: what you want to do at this point in time 339 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: is just make sure you're going through facts. And it 340 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: became a news story, I know on the cable side 341 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: for US MSNBC, Stephanie Rule took over her eleventh hour. 342 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: They were just talking about that and bringing in people 343 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: to talk about the player, to talk about injuries, but 344 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: facts to me were the most important thing. And I've 345 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: tried to be very careful on social media about what 346 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: I have put out or even just retweeted, because it's 347 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: such a sensitive situation here. Mike Tomlin. I don't know 348 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: if you guys what Mike Tomlin had to say yesterday 349 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: of how he knew how he knew Hamlin since he 350 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: was twelve years old. And Mike always just says the 351 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: right things, right. There's some people that are there. But 352 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: what you said about McCarthy I thought was really good 353 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: and to me speaks to the fact of Mike's done 354 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: a really good job here after that such at the 355 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: first season, Mike's done a lot of positive things and 356 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: why I've told people like Chris Kennedy, Hey, Mike's not 357 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: working here, He's working somewhere across this league. UM. I 358 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: continue to be impressed with how he handles things outside. 359 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: UM He's a human And you know, to sort of 360 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: pity about piggyback off that. You know, Mike and I 361 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a contentious relationship or first 362 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: year that we've since repaired. And I was standing outside 363 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: the locker room UM in Tennessee and he said, hey, 364 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: real quick how's your mom. I never told him about 365 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: my mom. Someone else must have told him, but he 366 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: took a minute just to be like, how's your mom? 367 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: And it it meant a lot to me, of course. 368 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: And I know that if he's doing that to me, 369 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: imagine how he loves up on some of those players. No, 370 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: no doubt. Like I said, Mike has done great job 371 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: on and out to feel how he's handled you know, 372 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: we talked about how he's handled team after losses and 373 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: they rarely have back to I don't think they had one. 374 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: They haven't had one this you know, not this year, 375 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: and probably the only time was you know, you know, 376 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: when Dak was hurt. But going back to last year, 377 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: they don't lose games back to back. They rebound, they respond. 378 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: He's done a great taking care of the bodies. You know, 379 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: we talk about, you know, how they're healthy. He's really 380 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: and certainly how you handled the team after the markets 381 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: Paul situation to how he was handling the team now, 382 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: I mean, you just got to tip your cap to 383 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: to what he's done. And you know, and that's why 384 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: one of the reason why I always talk about and 385 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: I've got all social media talking about Yes Saturday you 386 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: just you just don't put people in these jobs. I mean, 387 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: he is a head coach for a reason. Well, and 388 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: you just look at the history of this organization from 389 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five till now. You know, it just shows 390 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: you how difficult it is to put two good seasons 391 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: back to back. You don't need to know the coaches, 392 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: you don't need another players. You just need to look 393 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety five till two thousand and twenty one 394 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: and tell me how many back to back years have 395 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 1: they had where it was right, where it was good win? 396 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: How about twelve wins?

They're taking the cash, baby, 485 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: they're taking the CA So when you saw that going 486 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: down baggage super Bowl, right, and my photographer Noah Bullers says, 487 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: would it be something if we come back here look 488 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. I'm like, I will tell you 489 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: this right now, And I said, crazier things have happened. 490 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: You work with two of the most positive people I've 491 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: ever been around in sports, with Pat Downey and Noah 492 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: bully Oh my god, like they so for not to 493 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 1: say it doesn't survise me all like and and for 494 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: both of them, I would like this team to finally 495 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: maybe get there as they can. They can kind of said, 496 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: because they're always so positive about everything. I've been to 497 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl in Arizona and I just said, look, man, 498 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that. I said, I'd 499 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: rather talk about you. You put potentially going to Los Angeles, 500 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: and as there's a better chance of tease you go 501 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles than us coming back. Youre ft. But hey, listen, 502 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. I mean, who would have thought 503 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys would be where they are at this 504 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: point in the season, still with a chance to get 505 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: a one seed. That is wild to me, considering we 506 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: were talking about this in a break name a position 507 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: that has not been hampered by injury this season for 508 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and where they're at and how tough this 509 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: division was, well, I mean, that's what's crazy to me. 510 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: Let's just go back to this front. But it's also 511 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: so it would be so it would also be so 512 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: Dallas to lose to a samhow quarterback in a game 513 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: they need to win that they should have won, and 514 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: they think it. I don't think. But that Titans game 515 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: was not pretty against Josh Tops folks, they never and 516 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: they still won. But I hear you what I'm saying. 517 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 1: It's such a Cowboys I agree, but don't make it 518 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: hard on yourself. I agree, but what did the Raiders 519 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: do against a guess? Uh uh not? But if we're 520 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: not to do against the Raiders team, which did them? 521 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean agree with overtime. I'm just saying though that 522 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: people point out the loss to the same but when 523 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys is an indictment. But it's funny though, 524 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: because she says about it be such a Cowboys thing, 525 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: and that's so true, and that brings me back to 526 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: the news. Will always is like for NEWI and I'm 527 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: sure it's like there for you too, because you've been 528 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: You've been covering it so long. But it's the it's 529 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: not just about this team and what it's done to them. 530 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: It's all these previous coaches and these previous players have 531 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the journey. Yeah. Yeah, and it 532 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with this team. It's just it's 533 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: like it's like track record of like Cowboys, what can 534 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: go wrong, will go right. It's Murphy's law with that right. 535 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: Will you be in LA this weekend? And will you 536 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: be in uh Washington. I'll be in Los Angeles tomorrow. 537 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: Just what tomorrow? Tomorrow? Early, early, early, guest, early, I 538 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: got my uh, enjoy yourself Roscoe. You're going to Roscoe 539 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: Rosco on Friday. My man, you've had a year. You 540 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: deserve well had a year. But getting back to what 541 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: you're old before you go there, let me finish the thing. 542 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: So not only that, John, we were passing the whole 543 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl side. We drive to go to TCU practice 544 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: and it's it's Sundeville Stadium with that boys when they're 545 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 1: last Super Bowl. Yeah. So I'm like it was just 546 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: meant to be. It was. I just sat there and 547 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: it's like, no, I don't I don't want to allow 548 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: myself to even think about that. I just wanted you 549 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: undterly got on your phone and booked. I thought about you, 550 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: I thought about I appreciate you. I appreciate I said, 551 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year, I had this weird 552 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: feeling that the Cowboys are gonna do something crazy and 553 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: go all the way, all the way. And then there 554 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: were points in the season I was like, there's no 555 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: way they lost Jack, There's no way. Look what's happening 556 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: to the offensive line. There's no way. They don't have 557 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: any cornerback help. But I just the beginning of the season, 558 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: I said, I just have this weird feeling that the 559 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: Cowboys might do something crazy and go all the way. 560 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: All those things, what are you most concerned about? What 561 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: was the biggest one? Because when you said the corner, 562 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: that's the one for me, the number two. But then 563 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: I've but then then I'm saying the play of nashun right, 564 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: and again it hasn't. But again it hasn't been against 565 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: all world offenses here as of late. Either. You're talking 566 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: about at this point, what's about concern? Yes, Oh, to me, 567 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: it's the run defense. I'm still okay, it's the run defense. 568 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: Is that because of the way that they're playing right now, 569 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: or because that's also in the postseason and their run 570 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: game we're going to be a lot more significant than 571 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: the ones that were. When you think about it, we 572 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: got they were worried about Derek Henry. They didn't see 573 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: Dereck Henry. You were worried about Jonathan Taylor. Didn't see 574 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. And they still haven't done that great against 575 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: the run defense. But when you start getting into some 576 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: of these other playoff teams in the postseason, I think 577 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: not all of us are convinced that they figured this 578 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: thing out. What about you newing Now you'll get late 579 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: and Vanderesh back though right he's expected back in the 580 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: play he was out there present day. The biggest concern 581 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: is being able to stop the run. You're trying to 582 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: go out here and win a super Bowl and because 583 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: when somebody asked me about that, I said, you know, 584 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: show me a super Bowl defense that cannot stop the run. 585 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: And when you've talked about that as well here, so 586 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: that that's an issue. You couldn't slow down the Packers 587 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: when he played them. Remember and if you got Deebo 588 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: Samuel San Francisco, we talked about on the last year 589 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: of the players line, and that's the one team you 590 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: don't want to You hope somebody takes them out for 591 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: you and helps you out to say San Francisco. But 592 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: when you talk about the Super Bowl, it's we're now 593 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: talking almost half my life since they last win. So 594 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: that's one reason why I don't want talk about something 595 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: that really hasn't happened the back half of my life. 596 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: So what will it take for you to have to 597 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: talk about to get I'd have to know they have 598 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: to see them win the NFC Championship to believe in 599 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: tall I'm not ready to getting past Tom Brady. But 600 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: two things, they haven't done it yet. Out two things, 601 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. They have to do it. 602 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: The point everybody's ma is, if not now win, it 603 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: is wide open. Has ever been except in two thousand 604 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: and seven when they had the best record, they were 605 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: the best team. It is wide open, has ever been. 606 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: There's no boogeyman out there. I don't care what you say. 607 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: There are no great teams out there. The Eagles are 608 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: beatable before the nine is are beatable. Okay, Minnesota clearly 609 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: is beatable. Tampus beatable. Whoever's in the playoffs. This team 610 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: can win. They have to do it. You may not 611 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: have teams that are Boogeyman, but I believe there are 612 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: certain quarterbacks that are. Again, I'm getting ready to get 613 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: to that. Okay. So that's why rut of Detroit this weekend. 614 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: But if somehow they beat beat to be Washington and 615 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles beat a lose to the Giants instead of 616 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: Time Brader, they could get Aaron Rodgers coming here, yea, 617 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: And you should want to take that all day long. 618 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: And you should. But I mean, yes, Tom Brady haven't 619 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: beat him ever, but one hundred thirty seven year old 620 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: Tom Right, this top of a team is not the 621 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl Tampa Bay team of a couple of years ago. 622 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: They still have a fighting chance because of Tom Brady, 623 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: and they already played him this year. And right, it 624 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: always amazed they wanted the same teams. They that that 625 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: receiver cord of Cowboys at the beginning to turn on 626 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: the TV and fourth quarter and you're like, here he 627 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: goes again, the receiving cord at the beginning to seas 628 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: at Dennis Houston, who somebody on this show told me 629 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: he's went a fourth catch of seven three yards and 630 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: touchdown in that game. Not on this show. It was 631 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: on this show, okay. But the receiver court in Tampa Bay. 632 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: The ability to get petty thoughts in the back of 633 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: your head. And Prince he's always extensive of other conversations. 634 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: They never died. Conversations will be single for life, like 635 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: that man be able to pull out paint in this fist. 636 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. What I'm saying is going back to 637 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: that game. Though. Look at this receiving cords. We can 638 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: bring the full circle because Jas, why should you got 639 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: cut the day? But this team is not the same 640 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: that team that opened the season. You say that they 641 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: lost Tampa So what this This Cowboys team is not 642 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: the same Tampa Bay is not the same. Look at 643 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: this receiving cort now with t Y Hilton and he 644 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: and health, you Mike, Michael Gallup and City Lamb, you know, 645 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: becoming a number one receiver. One thing else that's not 646 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: the same, though, is that you're going to have a 647 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady who's going to have a chance to look 648 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: for Nishan right, a darn Bland guys that are inexperienced, 649 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: and he didn't have that opportunity at the beginning of 650 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: the season because you had season guys like Anthony Brown 651 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: Jorgans out there, so you can see the college's talking 652 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: about and you turn the games on. He still keeps 653 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: them close, and he's still there's a reason to be 654 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying that you'd want to take you play Green 655 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: Bays because you're playing at home and they've won their 656 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: last eight home games. They've had home field advantage. Aaron 657 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers is in his manifestation zone. Well, and I think 658 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay is scarier than Tampa because 659 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: that's well, look they were Remember when we said they 660 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: had like nobody playing when the Cowboys and they did not, 661 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: and they would have put him out the playoffs. That 662 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: receiving corps has gotten much better. M is scary now 663 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: that that young freshman Watson rookie for Watson and they 664 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: got other guys coming out. Game was against the Cowboys. Now, 665 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: I'll take Watson all day long over Mike Evans. But 666 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: go ahead, all right, God, James Slater, John's showed him. 667 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: Heck Ma Harrison, I mean Claire's Hill.

I'm gonna give them wrong. 718 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt though 719 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: on this. If they do go on a playoff run 720 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: and t Y Hilton is a big part of it, 721 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: you can kind of dismiss the Mary Cooper thing. Oh, 722 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: you can dismiss it because they won without him. Is 723 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: weren't a great spot. We're not. We can only we're Oh, 724 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna criticize it after it happens. I mean, let's no, 725 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: we're not. We're not the ones coaching it. We're not 726 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: the one that's gonna get the matize them at the 727 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: moment it happened. Well, sure, sure, we're saying there's not 728 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: a hand sight, no, no, no, and how they reacted 729 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: it at the I didn't like it at the time either. 730 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though there were some things that, let's 731 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: be honest, that I thought there were seasons where I 732 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: thought a Marie Cooper late in the season could have 733 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: taken the team to another level. It did not happen. 734 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: Um in Philadelphia twenty nineteen, Jason Garrett's last year need 735 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: needn't show up. He didn't. I'm just giving you the 736 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: benefit the doubt here, Hill. If t Y Hilt wasn't 737 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: on him, that it wasn't on him, Okay, that's fine. 738 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: But if t Y Hilton continues on the path that 739 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: he's on right now, which is asking a lot for 740 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: his age and and all that. But if he continues 741 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: doing this and he comes up big for them in 742 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: some big games like he has up to this point, 743 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: I think you can kind of dismiss the Amar thing 744 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: a little. No, no, you can't dismiss. You need multiple 745 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: playoff wins, but you need multi show Clarence versus the world. 746 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: No no, no no, no, no, no no no, it's it's 747 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: because it's it's the whole process, the whole build up. 748 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: You get rid of Marie, you signed Tolbert, right draft Tolbert, 749 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 1: you signed j James Washington, and this is our plan. 750 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: They have They have two catches that have Sigel gall 751 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: Michael Gallam misses the first three games, franchise Sad Dalton 752 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: shoulds and and and all this stuff the process to 753 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: what you get, and then we're spending the bulk of 754 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: the season trying to find another receiver, right you know. 755 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: So I'm saying, yes, at the end of the day, 756 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: you fell into t Y Hilton. Counter but that was 757 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: not the plan. Okay, But counterpoint, I think to Ma 758 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: showed his point. You were expecting more from Dalton Schultz 759 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: because he was a bit of a security blanket, right, 760 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: I was about to go there. He was a bit 761 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: of a security blanket for DAK and then he got 762 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: injured and he was like slow to come back, and 763 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: he just I'm talking about a receiver position, I hear you. 764 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: And then with Michael Gallup, Michael Gallup took a lot 765 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: longer to come on, and then you expected CD to 766 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: embrace that number one spot a lot sooner than he did. 767 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: So I think mistakes were made. I'll agree with you, 768 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: but I think those mistakes were made as a result 769 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: of things that they were relying on working out for 770 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: them didn't necessarily happen. I agree, but it could. I 771 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: could have told you that Michael Gallup wasn't gonna be 772 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: ready start to see. Stephen Jones told us that did 773 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: you ask for Will McClay spot in his office? Steen, 774 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: Stephen Jones told us at the owners meetings they was 775 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 1: gonna miss the first three games, right, and they still 776 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: paid him. And we all know that it takes you 777 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: a while. Just could you come back? You're not gonna 778 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: be back immediately. I would rather have Marie Cooper on 779 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: this team. I'm mica was clear. I'm just I'm just 780 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: saying that there are there are some paths where if 781 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: they have the posting and success, people will not look 782 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: band go no, no, we're in there the answer game. Man. 783 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: If there was a Mari here and they have posting success, 784 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: no doubt, and then and they're in our twelve and 785 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: four and been getting didn't four without him? And I 786 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: understand all that, and I think the concern was you're 787 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: paying this one guy all of this money and how 788 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: much is he really contributing to justify it? I know. 789 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: Then to your point, then, if you look to go 790 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: on the open market, what guys would you have afforded 791 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: to brought in? Because the wide receiver market was pretty 792 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean there were some hefty price tips. Soddy is 793 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: not that big of a deal right now, right and 794 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: you're probably not going to have I still think they 795 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: franchised Alton should so you wouldn't have Gallop and you'd 796 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: be better off with the Mark Cooper, there's no question, 797 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: but you probably you probably don't even go out and 798 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: get Ty. You're better if you're better off with Markup. 799 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, fine, it's gonna work out. It has worked out, 800 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: and that's fine. But I'm just saying the money they're 801 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: making tells you that they made a mistake. That's all great, 802 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: and they've got to figure this thing out next year 803 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: as well, because t Y is not your answer. Next year, 804 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 1: then what are some of the free agent wide receivers 805 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: that you're gonna bring in? And are you gonna roll 806 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: out next year and hope that Michael Gallup becomes the 807 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: guy see Lamb because the guy. And then what are 808 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: you gonna do with this Jalen Tilbert who You're gonna 809 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: hope that he becomes like a number three wide receiver. 810 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: You hope he attacks the offseason the way Terrence Steal 811 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: did after his his rough rookie year and make some 812 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: changes or do what the book Nick Saban wrote was 813 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 1: just how good do you want to be? And that's 814 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: the conversation somebody's gonna have to have with Jalen Tultberg. 815 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: Well men Tremon remember even his rookie yere was a 816 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: little spotty at times, and he had a huge second year. 817 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: And the crazy part about it is they might name 818 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: got t why Hilton able to sign up Odell Beckham? 819 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: So we're gonna wait for the playoffs. So we're gonna 820 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: wait for the playoffs Beckham. They wouldn't have won the 821 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 1: last two games without t Y Hilton. Like a good 822 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: fantasy football team, you had a bad track that you 823 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: went to the waiver. Why do you improved your football team? 824 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: And now you got t Y Hilton. You go into 825 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: playoffs and you know what, getting the playoffs have a 826 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: shot and hope somebody limiting San Francisco for you, But 827 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: why aren't they using him more though? Because there are mean, 828 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: it was like eleven then he went to twenty two snaps. Well, 829 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: it's just like the same thing with a Jason Peters 830 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: is that when you're bringing them along at their age 831 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: obviously different ages, one's forty one thirty three, but still 832 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 1: when you don't play a full season, when you don't 833 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: play a full season, you worry about he gets out 834 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: there all of a sudden, Hey, he says he can 835 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: handle thirty plays. You're like, now, we's you put him 836 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: to me? Can handle it? Well, you say that, you 837 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,479 Speaker 1: say that, you say that, but a lot of people 838 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: will point to you could get a hamstring injury, could 839 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: be something small like that that all of a sudden 840 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: set you back because you wanted to give him thirty 841 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: snaps instead of twenty, instead of bringing him along and 842 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: then for in the playoffs and that's when he can 843 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: get his thirty thirty five. That's when it matters. I 844 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: just I think that the soft tissue injuries and things 845 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: like that's what they worry about, you know, Jane know, Okay, 846 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: correct where you go, Dane. They've used him time so far, 847 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: that's fine, But I'm just saying, want to use him 848 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: a little bit more, and I think you game felt 849 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: him little too close and I think you will see more. 850 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: Come on, you take the two picks away. It's not close. 851 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: It had them to do with their usage or lack 852 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: of usage or t Y. It had nothing to do 853 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys really either. It was the team that 854 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: Tennessee decided to roll out there that it had to 855 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: do with the lack of used to t Y. That's 856 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,280 Speaker 1: why it was closed. They still won by double digits. 857 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: I know, I'm just that was double digits and they 858 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: still covered the spread. O. We don't talk about that 859 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 1: in a fun network, right, Unlike the Raiders, let's talking 860 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: about that. Unlike the forty nine ers and some other teams. 861 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: Kan's City Chiefs barely beat Denver, a bad Denver team 862 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: that just fired the coach. It just got to beat 863 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: fifty one thirteen. This is why I don't get why knew. 864 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 1: He starts to fall asleep sometimes because when you just 865 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: start going on some of these tanchins we're talking about. 866 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: You said they barely won. Did she not say barely won? 867 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: Knew he saved the show. It felt closer than it 868 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: should have well. I want to thank Jane Slater, Johana Shoulder, 869 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: and Clarence Hill because Jane show was coming up and 870 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: we need to get her adequate time to prepare and 871 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: get situated for her show.
