13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: listeners on Twitter over the weekend had a request. He said,

00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: any chance of you not yelling to start the show.

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: We all have to turn the volume down until you

00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't, Kurt and Nate would fall asleep within the

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,120

Speaker 1: hell when I yell, but that's just what I do, yes, sir,

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: And it gets me into the spirit of the show.

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: And if not, I get like today, if I didn't

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: yell just now, I would be so dead today because

28
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: of what I witnessed yesterday. Yeah, that was just eight

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: all around. Sometimes, Nate, you just and you probably know

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: this from playing sports your whole life, sometimes you just

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: get your ass kicked, And yesterday it was just an

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: all around ass kicking. They didn't execute, they had some

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: terrible penalties, they couldn't finish drives, they just every aspect

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: of the game was not good. And if they weren't

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: coming off the heels of a five game win streak,

36
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: I'd be jumping off the ship again. But I'm still

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: on it. But I mean it that And it was

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: boring as hell to watch. I can put up with

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: a bad game if it's fun to watch. That wasn't

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: even fun to watch, man, That was just that was

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: just tough all the way around. Yeah, what y'all think?

42
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: All right, Kurt? Would you think it was ugly? They

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: just it was like they I guess they knew they

44
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: had some room to play with or something. They just

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: didn't match the intensive the Colts. The Colts said their

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: backs against the wall. They came out fire and the

47
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys couldn't respond, They couldn't hang with them. Yeah, but

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: that's that's great basketball analogies ross basketball. Yeah, that's great.

49
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: I mean, you know everybody, what goes wrong in a game,

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: that what causes a game to be just all around

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: ugly matchups? Yeah, just a bad matchup. That's a bad matchup. Man.

52
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: You don't think the intensity was You thought the intensity

53
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: was there. Uh, you don't think they were. So if

54
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: we look at the first half we had, we had

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: about nineteen minutes, We had one hundred and seventy some

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: yards of offense. Uh. The only thing we didn't do

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: is punch it in in the red zone. We had

58
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: the block field goal. I mean, uh, the intensity Uh

59
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: one maybe feverite pitch for us. But you know, like

60
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: I was telling I did a look hit for Dan

61
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Sanders earlier, and like I told him, you got to

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: have enough guys on your team that are big game hunters,

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, and every week you were hearing say, boys,

64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: this is just a little bit bigger. Can you hang on?

65
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: And so when you don't carry that intensity and you

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: were lying on one thing to tout you and that's

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: evident it was our defense. We were relying on that

68
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. So now as they gain momentum,

69
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: we lose momentum, so we look worse. They beat us

70
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: on both their offensive line, their defensive line. They beat us.

71
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: They dominated us. You know, we had guys in the

72
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: red zone, you know. And I'm listening to people say, hey,

73
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: where bad calls? No sir, no sir, not not yesterday.

74
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, if you want to blame Lenahan, okay, Lenahan

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: need to be the one coming out of the backfield

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: catching the ball on the red zone. You need I

77
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: need to be one of the offensive lineman who let

78
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: the guy get a quick escape and hit you running

79
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: back in the backfield. I mean, I'm looking at this game.

80
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, nice call, bad execution. You know, when your

81
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and lead a tight end on a third the

82
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: long situation, you lead him to the outside, but you

83
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: threw it up an air and put an Arab on it.

84
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: A lot of dB to run up under to make

85
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: a contested contest to fifty fifty ball. They shouldn't have

86
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: benefit the fifty ball. I believe this, And and I

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: notice hurt people's feelings, you know. But when I sit

88
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: up here and I cheer for the Cowboys and not

89
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: give them, I give them their jets due. And I

90
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: talked in an objective manner, even though I would never

91
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys lose. Sometime your quarterback has to make

92
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: the right though. Sometimes your your receivers have to make

93
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: the big catch, your offensive line have to make the

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: big block. Your defensive line have to make the big tackle.

95
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: That did not happen yesterday. So for me to say

96
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: the coaches now, whether whether they was prepared during the week,

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, But for me to sit them and say,

98
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: because the dude missed the tackle in the open field

99
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: that was his to be made, and okay, so I

100
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: got to tell you that coach be shot and run there.

101
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: They got to run out there and make those tackles.

102
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: Come on, brother, nah nah. So before I even tell

103
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: you how bad the coaches did, that's what I can

104
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: see how bad our players did on one on one

105
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: situations where they could have made a difference and made

106
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: plays and we didn't. Yep. And you started off the

107
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: game good. If you just look at their possessions. They

108
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: had seven possessions to the Colts eight. They started off

109
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: with a ten play drive. Fifteen play drive, yes, sir,

110
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: fourteen play drive. Then it kind of went to average seven, six, eight, five.

111
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: This is how those drives ended. Blockfield goal, thank you, fumble, punt, punt,

112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: turnover on downs, turnover on downs, interception. So three three

113
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: of those you could argue were execution, block field goal, fumble,

114
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: interception at the end of the game, especially that fumble man.

115
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: That guy was in the backfield so fast. One. He's

116
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: even funny, I knowing that fourth and one, it wasn't

117
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: even funny to play before that the fullback. And see

118
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: this thing about it, you laming on Dak, You blame

119
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: the fullback, you blame the who whatever you want. The

120
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: ball was, the play was there, the play was there.

121
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Somebody had to make the play. Neither made the play. Yeah. Uh,

122
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: and so when I when I look at that right there,

123
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, we'll have some calls. Man, you

124
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: can you can call in and rant and rave how

125
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: you want. Like I said, I'm a fair guy. When

126
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: we win, I don't stand for but when we when

127
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: we lose, have had it. Do what you gotta do,

128
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, but be precise in what you're saying now.

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Was the play where they lined up three tight ends

130
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: on the right side. Was that the same drive as

131
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: when Ola Wally dropped it in the end zone or

132
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: was that the next Was that the next drive? No?

133
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: It was third down, Yeah, dropped and then yeah the

134
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: next play, fourth and one? Which name you broke that

135
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: down pretty nice earlier lunch. Yeah, they had like on

136
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the back side, they had five guys and all those

137
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: guys were covered. Looney had a guy to his left

138
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: and and it's of somebody saying straight straight man, man.

139
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: He thought the guard that the right guard was slipping

140
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: with him, and he didn't, and he just the guy

141
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: chose to swim loonie and loonie whatever went up to

142
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: somebody that wasn't there, and all of a sudden he

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: comes rat B line to Zeke. Zeke had to make

144
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: his move and when he made his movie was trying

145
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: to get that ball secure because he thought he was

146
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: gonna hit him, but he got out of his way,

147
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: and then this guy smashed. So like Looney was doing

148
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: one scheme and the right guard Connor was doing that.

149
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: He was doing his job. He was blocking his guy. Yeah, yeah,

150
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: and see that that that could be a lack of

151
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: communication or somebody blew a play. But stuff like that,

152
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: that that that's momentum killers. And these guys, you know,

153
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: we talked about it and I clearly stated, I said, fellas,

154
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: we cannot let them run the ball. If make our

155
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Andrew Luck throw this thing fit plus times. That

156
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: way you put the ball in air that many times,

157
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: you get a chance to get some interceptions, but don't

158
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: let him throw this check and see how many times

159
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: he threw the ball yesterday, because I told you, if

160
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: this thing is balanced, we may lose this game. And

161
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: boy was it balanced. He threw the ball twenty seven times,

162
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: completed sixteen of those. They did not. They rarely got

163
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: to hit on him. The middle of our offensive line.

164
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Deepen's mind was not effective, and so that allowed him

165
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: to run our horses outside guys, deepensive ends around the edge,

166
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, and then when he did run, he ran

167
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: smart I mean he he did some things man, and uh,

168
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: people say, you know, well we had a depleted offensive line. Nah, fellas,

169
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: that one don't work today. Are you worried? Oh? Before

170
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: we going further, we have a special guest today and

171
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: a ten or fifteen minutes we're gonna have Zach Martin's

Speaker 1: his involvement with that. So cool, So hang around, we'll

174
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: have that. So we may may hold your calls until

175
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: the last segments so we can get everything in because

176
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: we want to talk about this game as much as

177
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: possible before we get into that. But does this Does

178
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: this bother you guys at all? They won five in

179
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: a row, Kurt, you said it. They kind of looked

180
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: flat when they came out, didn't really have the intensity,

181
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: which I mean when you don't execute, I guess it

182
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: can look that way. But are you guys worried? Is

183
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: this is this a reset moment like Okay, yeah, let's

184
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: just tap the breaks, Yeah, let's go forward. Or is

185
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: this a panic moment where you're like, we just got

186
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: our butts, We didn't put any points on the board,

187
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: we didn't stop them. Should be we should we be

188
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: worried about these last two games getting into the playoffs

189
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: one and then continuing into the playoffs. Are you worried.

190
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about getting into the playoffs. I think

191
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: they still you know, percentages are in their favor of

192
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: getting there, and I hopefully this would like reset them.

193
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Like you said, they realize they can't just go out

194
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: there and you know, step on the field and win.

195
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: They're not gonna hand them to you, like Jones said.

196
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know if getting very far in the

197
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: playoffs it's realistic. But I do think they're gonna make

198
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: them see get there, They're gonna make They're gonna win

199
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: the division stiff. But you've always heard me say this

200
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: game is big. Okay, you lost the game that in

201
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: in an ugly way. You got physically whooped. Okay. Now

202
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: now now, now you know you're checking your manhood, we're

203
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: checking your big dogs. See what you see what you're about.

204
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: So now let's see what you do. Uh. I don't.

205
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not one of them guys. Even you know, hey, hey,

206
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: they started believing the Clippers man forgetting the Clippers. They

207
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: did not understand where they were and what it was

208
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: about and now you've been hit in the mouth. Now

209
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: you understand what it is to cause this team, the Coats,

210
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: they understand where they are, and they were at home

211
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: and they take advantage of where they at. Okay, now

212
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start living for Tampa Bay and I'm gonna

213
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: live only for Tampa Bay one game. Yeah, see, y'all

214
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: allowed to live for you know, the playoffs and this

215
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: that another. But see, I tried to tell everybody who

216
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: would listening, Hey, man, don't worry about the Redskins, don't

217
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: worry about exhuming, don't worry about who's the two teams

218
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: and the Redskins, and don't worry about them. I wasn't

219
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: saying that to the players. I saying that top fans

220
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: quit worrying about them and focus on us, the Dallas Cowboys,

221
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: because that's what Dallas. That's what Dallas going to focus

222
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: on for the first time in a lot of years.

223
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: While in Jason Garrett Jason Garrett's error, this didn't look

224
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: nice right for our head coach. This is the game

225
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: that I've been praying and secretly telling people. I don't

226
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: want to see this game because now you give the

227
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: owner a different m is this a something out of

228
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: the ordinary. Let's wait the next week. So now you're

229
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: looking at the game, not as we finish, go out

230
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: and win this division. Let's see how players play. So

231
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: when you don't have no big game hunters, and I

232
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: tried to who is your big game hunter? Big game hunters?

233
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: You're running back. You didn't give him a chance, big

234
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: game hunters, you wide receiver. We didn't give him a

235
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: chance to take over the game. The big game hunter

236
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: ain't your quarterback. Now you gotta decide is he truly

237
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: a big game hunter? Because this is his third year.

238
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: But we need to see when all us fails. And

239
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: it's what I'm saying, it's hard when all of us fails.

240
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: When your defense is screaming for some help and you

241
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: need a big play or twenty or more yards to

242
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: get down the field. We did not get it yesterday.

243
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: As long as we got was eighteen yards. Now was

244
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: from a tight end. We needed somebody to get down

245
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: field to make a play, a twenty or thirty yard play.

246
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: Beside running back, your quarterback is the quickest way to

247
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: get So here we set beat up, bruised and battered.

248
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how the players. Their demeanor is

249
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room this week because DeMarcus Lawrence said

250
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: after the game, they got punched in the mouth. Now

251
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: it's time for them. He can't wait to go this

252
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: week and punch the next opponent in the mouth. So

253
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: this hurt a little bit. This had to be kind

254
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: of a reality check, like, hey, you won five in

255
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: a row, and I'm sure once you get beat like

256
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: that and just you you can't do anything. Check was

257
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: only on one side of the football though, See you

258
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: know what do you mean? Have you have y'all saw

259
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: anybody to do this to our defense all year? It's

260
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: been a while. I mean some guys rushed for that

261
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: many yards early on in Seattle, I think, But have

262
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: y'all got somebody to do our defense? Like? Now, no, no,

263
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: they couldn't get to him. Not a runner, yeah, well

264
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: even passing like if you watch the game, I mean, gluck,

265
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: they cannot get You're right, he didn't have the best

266
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: game on paper, but he was. I thought I was

267
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: even part of them bowls because the way they had

268
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: that bowl shaped around him. He's just standing up to

269
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: the man like a statue. I'm like, they can't even

270
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: touch him. My hat's off to Antoine Woods. My hats

271
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: off to Ross, My hats off Tyn Crawford. Crawford when

272
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: he goes inside, My hats off the Melie Collins. I

273
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: preached that this right here. When these guys played well,

274
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: Our linebackers run and they make plays all over the place.

275
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: Did you hear their names at significant times yesterday? I'm

276
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: talking about fifty five, fifty four and fifty Sean Lee,

277
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: Jalen and Van Nisch. Did you hear their names that

278
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: significant times yesterday? No? You did not? Why because those

279
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: four guys inside could not get crunk up? Yeah, and

280
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: you said that last week. Your linebacker play starts with

281
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: your your interior linement because they eat those balls up

282
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: and don't let them get on them in the in

283
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: the second level. Man, you go, like I tell you,

284
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: go watch the film. Man. They put on a clinic

285
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: on how to get to the second level, how to

286
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: move people off the ball, and and and I believe

287
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: that a team can be on emotional high for such

288
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: a long period of time that you come down just

289
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. But the game music can revive you

290
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. But I'm telling you Quinton Nelson,

291
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Kelly the other guard. They they were mashing yesterday. Brother,

292
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: they were. They were big body banging. They was doing

293
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: everything it took because when you can start going to

294
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: the middle of a defense. Was that line that much

295
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: better than our guys, I mean, our guys just it

296
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: wasn't their day, you know. I take that as a yes.

297
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: It want too? Or was it that's my question one two?

298
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Or just talent? They just weren't as good. Quintin Nelson

299
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: is a first round pick out of know the Dame.

300
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: I think Kelly is the first, our second round pick

301
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: out of Alabama the right. Yeah, look you got the sheet,

302
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: you got the last on the back, they'll tell you

303
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: where they're from. Went round. Okay, But just like the Cowboys,

304
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: they have a lot of assets that they have put

305
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: into their offensive line. I think so too. And and

306
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: Frank Wright said, you know, listen to the Nazi. He said, Man,

307
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: the coach had to admit that it was his fault

308
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: that they had got away from the running game the

309
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: first three games to average ninety seven yards a game.

310
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: The running back was his name Milton. He averaged like

311
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: ninety seven hours a sudden he running for forty seven.

312
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: The coach said that's my fault. I have bet offensive

313
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: linement in this. Let me use them to help solidify

314
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: my quarterback. He did yesterday, Man, I'm telling you, I'm

315
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: telling you Antoine Woods. He ain't happy this morning. Raw.

316
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: So I'm telling these dudes. These dudes probably matter themselves

317
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: because they know their best effort technique was it there yesterday.

318
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: So what could they have done different? Lane? Just execute

319
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: better to say, root hog, but that just grab a

320
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: coffin and hold home. Get your claws deep in the

321
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: coverty just hold on. They went. They went in at

322
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: halftime down ten nothing, and the defense gives up ten

323
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: points in the first half. That's not the worst case ever,

324
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: No it is. But they didn't do anything in the

325
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: second half. What's up with that? I Mean, it's one

326
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: thing to start flat, but the game was still there, yes,

327
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: So what didn't happen? I think it was a want

328
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: to thing and I and I also think that combined

329
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: with the fact that the Colts absolutely had to win

330
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: that game. Well, let's be careful with the want to word,

331
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: because I don't think a both player ever wants to

332
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: not win, brother, because you want to. Was a couple

333
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: of times when they backs and rolled over, So we

334
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: don't want to say that, right, And I you know,

335
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: it depends on how literally it takes. Yeah, but I

336
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: get what you're saying. They were literally rolled on their back,

337
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: so it depends on how you want to take you. Yeah,

338
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: I just mean there was. To me, there was more

339
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: want to in the previous five games. The word is intensity,

340
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: urgency intensity there, Yeah, there you go. My man gave

341
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: it to him. I was just wondering if he's gonna

342
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: reach out and grab but that won't two things he's

343
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: been on Doug Mine. I talked to him over before

344
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: we had to show it. He he been wont to

345
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: him for a minute. Well, Nate always tells me that

346
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: offensive line play run blocking is wont to Oh yes

347
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: it is. Man. I desire to hurt. I desired them all.

348
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: So I just extrapolated that to everybody. Yeah, I think

349
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: I think I want to though, you get in that

350
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: really fine area of saying guys didn't want to work.

351
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to insult there. Yeah, you know, a yeah,

352
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: because they always want to win, but you know intensity, Hell,

353
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: you won five in a row that nobody gave you

354
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a chance to win. You you're I don't know what

355
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: the mentality is of a professional athlete, but I would think,

356
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's every game they want to win, You

357
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: want to win. But at some point you start buying

358
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: into it like the fans do, and you think, hey,

359
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: we're winning out, We're going all the way, and then

360
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: of winning. Yeah, maybe this is in a way, it's

361
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: never good to lose a football game in the National

362
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: Football League, which I'm sure that sounded very Garret like,

363
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: But in a way, you're probably not winning twelve in

364
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: a row to get through the Super Bowl whenever you

365
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: started what six games ago, you probably gotta lose one

366
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: along the way. I'd rather lose this one and then go, Okay,

367
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 1: we got our asses handed to us. What did we

368
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: do wrong? Let's fix it, regroup, and now let's let's go,

369
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: let's go the distance, let's win out. I'd rather do

370
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: it now that well, four weeks from now, We'll rather

371
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: sweep the Eagles and win ugly and then we can

372
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: fix it and keep it continuing. At home, we have

373
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: a special guest about to join us. We're going to

Speaker 1: thing I do want to point out, but this goes

471
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: back to you know, football's growth across across the world.

472

473
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: forty countries that played organized American football as we know it.

474
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: Now that number is fast approaching seventy and you're looking

475
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: at six continents now with American football programs run by

476
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: a national federation. So it's a very exciting time. And

477
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: one thing that we see every year and Aaron can

478
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,160

483
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: When you play the Americans in Texas, that means something.

Speaker 1: That was a joke. That was a joke. Everybody, calm down,

502
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: calm down. So well, I have a question, how is

503
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: the level of football in these other countries? I would

504
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: assend the US it would just go out and steam

505
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: roll them all. But is it getting better? You know,

506
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised, you know. Of course, Mexico and Canada

507
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: are a lot better than most people think too. There's

508
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: big physical football Japan one last year, you know, they

509
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: had a great game in one. They're actually coached by

510
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: a Division two coaching staff here in the United States,

511
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Baptist University. And then this year Panama is new

512
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: to the game for US, so we have no clue

513
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: how good they are. So we're gonna find out. I

514
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: wonder if Paul would want to get in, how Paul

515
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: could get in on this. We have a we have

516
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: a buddy that comes in about once every other year.

517
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: He calls the show he's from Scotland and I actually

518
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: plays in a team in a league rec league over there.

519
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: That it's crazy how they do. And he also coaches

520
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: a women's team over there, so I've never asked do

521
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: they play in kilts? I was thinking the same thing

522
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: they wear on those? They do not? Garrett, come over here?

523
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,240

525
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: I do all kinds of things for us. But what

526
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: I do as I oversee the national team program and

527
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: it's day to day operations, all of our player selection,

528
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: all of our coach selection. UM run our regionals, which

529
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: is like our feeder program that gets into it for

530
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: our middle school and our high school kids. How's that

531
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: determined the national team? What's the process? That's the process

532
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: as how it starts as we start off in a

533
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: two day T shirt and shorts camp. UM. Last year

00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: But tell us about him growing up, sir, Yeah, he

567
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: was always a focused kid. I coached him in middle school.

568
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: I coached middle school football for twelve years. And uh,

569
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: I mean a quick story, he's always been zero. Then

570
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean one of the uh he played in the

571
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: CYO program. Uh. And I can remember they have a

572
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: weight limit, and um, he was about ten pounds over.

573
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: And when you're to to be able to play defense

574
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. And I said, hey, son,

575
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: that's that's fine. You're you're good. Let's just you know,

576
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: you'll be able to play offensive line. You'll do fine.

577
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, this was about five or six

578
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: weeks out and he said, no, what do I need

579
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: to do? I want to cut weight? And you know,

580
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: I said, well you gotta, you know, you quit drinking sodas,

581
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: quit you know, eating those cookies and literally, you know,

582
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: two days before he was a half a pound under

583
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: and that was that was the fifth to sixth grade.

584
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: And that's just an example. He's always kind of been

585
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: zero focused in on that. He always knew what he

586
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to do, but always knew kind of what

587
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: his fellow offensive lineman across the board as far as

588
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: what their assignments were as well. It's very rare to

589
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: have a household that has a professional athlete, yes in

590
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: it or coming from that that tree. You have two

591
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: you have two professional athletes that come out of your household?

592
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: How How is how is that to have in the

593
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: league at the same time, which is really cool? Just

594
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: talk about that dynamic and how that is. Yeah, it's

595
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: it is. We feel very blessed, very fortunate because one

596
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: they both love the game and they're both doing what

597
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: they enjoy doing. Uh, for mom and dad, everybody, for us,

598
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, by Sunday evening, if they play on Sunday afternoon,

599
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: it's almost a sign of relief. Like you get involved

600
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: in the motions, the highs and the lows because that's

601
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, your kids are involved in it. You want

602
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: them to stay healthy. You want them to win, and

603
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: as we all know, all those things don't happen. So

604
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: but it's it's been fun. It's been a fun ride.

605
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: We we actually have three three boys, they all played

606
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: college football, and so we've been doing this a long time.

607
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: I was I was thinking about this earlier in the day.

608
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been going to games for twenty two

609
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: years with their with their kids. I grew up in

610
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: a football family. I'm the youngest of four. I can

611
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: remember going to see my oldest brother play when I

612
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: was six years old. He was ten years older than me.

613
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: So I've been going to football games for over fifty years. Wow,

614
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: so you have kind of a family union this weekend

615
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. Yeah, come in for their game, except Zach couldn't. Yeah.

616
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: It was interesting because we did. We had a lot

617
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: of friends and so forth. But we had several people

618
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: when they when they found out that Zach was not

619
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: going to play, they said, hey, I don't think we're

620
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: coming now since Zach's not going to play, And say, hey,

621
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you know you can come see us.

622
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: We're still gonna go to the game, right right. But

623
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: I assume you all had fun when the Cowboys played

624
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: the Texans. Yeah, I was gonna say, what was what

625
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: was the dynamic like that that game day? You know,

626
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: we had twenty four people down for that game, and

627
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: we most not all, but most of us stayed at

628
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: my youngest son, Nicks. And I mean it was fun.

629
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: We we we tried to, you know, just enjoy it,

630
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: enjoy the moment. I know when we came out, since

631
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: we since most of them stayed at knicks house, they

632
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: all had their Texans gear on. And Zach came after. Oh,

633
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: I know how this is, you know, looking at all

634
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: his cousins and so forth, and I said, they but

635
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: when they're in Dallas, they all, well there cowboys, uh

636
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: you know uniforms. Yes, he seems to him coming into

637
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: the league when he did and coming here with Travis

638
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: and everything, they seem to have a really great bond

639
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: and a great friendship. What's that meant to him for

640
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: Travis to be on this team and be a part

641
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: of you know, kind of that friendship. Well, it's like anything.

642
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to work every day and

643
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: you like people enjoy being around them, like I mean,

644
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: well yeah, there you go by on and off the

645
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: U field, it makes it easier. So I think that

646
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: was that was he was very fortunate coming to a

647
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: situation where there're where he's a lot of young offensive linemen,

648
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: a lot of you know where they're all have a

649
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of things in common, same age. You know, they're

650
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: they're both married. Uh, Travis has you know, two young kids,

651
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: act out, ready to have his first one. So I

652
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: want to be a great and grandfather was excited about cool.

653
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: So now, so how do your three sons, you, your brothers,

654
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: y'all get together on thingsgiving? Man, I'm in a hole, Joe.

655
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: How much meat is on the table? Yeah, I mean wow? Man. Yeah,

656
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: they know now that they're older, they like their meat

657
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: prepared a certain way and they take every time I'm

658
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: going to burn it. Dad, you're good, you're gonna overcook that.

659
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: So they usually take over the grilling. When when we

660
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: were all together, we have a good time. So USA football,

661
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: so everyone needs to go check it out. What's something?

662
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: What's if there's a factor, a tidbit or something that

663
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: you could say that people don't know about it that's

664
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: interesting or something a little hidden Jim about USA football? Wow,

665
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: hitting Jim. Now we have a guy on the team

666
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: that played in this game. Yeah right, George or Lewis?

667
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: Is that Right's right? How how many years ago was that?

668
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Oh at? Oh five? Yeah? Five years years ago? Thirteen?

669
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: Okay a little bit. So there's guys from all across,

670
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: you know, different colleges, they're like double A colleges and

671
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: then big programs and all that. So you've got all

672
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: kind of talent levels in the top to bottom. Okay, yep,

673
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: we cover it all. Probably tib is. Like I said

674
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: when we were talking about some of the international teams,

675
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: you probably don't know how organized and how serious they

676
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: take it. You know, I talked to Keith about this

677
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: all the time. Keith always says, well, it is it friendly,

678
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: and it's really not. It's a it's a game, and

679
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: there's a cultural environment and experience. They're showing up here.

680
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: Like Steve said, they want to win. You know, it's

681
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: a big deal to come to Texas to play football

682
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: in Cowboys Stadium, play the Americans. It's a big deal.

683
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: So so did Tibit is. You can be nineteen years

684
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: old and still playing this game, right as long as

685
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: you're in just finishing your high school scene. Yeah, depending

686
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: on states, right before you go to college, right, you

687
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: can still at team college. So if you if you

688
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: are a late bloomer and you probably don't have a

689
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: college yeah, this is a great chance to showcase, right, yeah,

690
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: big time. So last year locally, a kid who's actually

691
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: ut now, Brian Hobbs had a really good game for

692
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: US linebacker, played a great game. So you know, man,

693
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: just whenever you get a chance to showcase, that's what

694
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: it's all about. Let people see who you are. Man.

695
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: And did it help grows y'all sport too, because now

696
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: y'all can use his name to expand who you are

697
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: thinking about. He's not as a marketing guy I am.

698
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: But you're doing such a great job. I'm letting you

699
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: get outside your comfort zone. We're gonna suit you up. Nate. Yah,

700
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: that's what we now, brother, I would say. I would

701
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: say the other thing on USA football just to kind

702
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: of interject here. Other than the national teams, we have

703
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: a lot of resources for coaches both high school. Yes

704
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: you do, Yes you do. And one of the reasons

705
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: I've only been on board for about ten months, I

706
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: spent most of my career at the NCAA for twenty

707
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: nine years. And one of the reasons why I came over.

708
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: Is uh, the challenges in the sport, particularly the headlines

709
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: and so forth, and and USA Football has done a

710
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: nice job of putting resources out there. We're putting together

711
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: a football development model that looks at practice planning, what

712
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: are the things that should be taught at what ages?

713
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: How to proper you know, tackle blocking, all those things

714
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: that resources that we have available. And we have a

715
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: council and that's on our council. We have football subject

716
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: matter experts, we have medical experts and Kwon Bolden's on

717
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: our good on our council. Good Man good yeah, good Man.

718
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: I helped recruit him. Yeah. So anyway, this is, uh,

719
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: this is important stuff because we want to see football,

720
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, as far as prosper for years to come.

721
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: You know, I have to say this. Can you tell people?

722
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: And this is my personal thing. I would see you

723
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen years old. This well, I don't like

724
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of young coaches is the emphasis is on

725
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: winning and not technique. And I hate that You're spot on.

726
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: This is what this is what a football development model.

727
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: It's about a framework, yes, and it's about skill development.

728
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: Every other sport, basketball, baseball, has gone this direction and soccer.

729
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: The reason why one of the things that studies that

730
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: we looked at is the reason why we can't make

731
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: the American Cup and soccer is because we focus too

732
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: much on games and development. And it's the same way

733
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: with football. We need to get back down back to

734
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: the football development skills, proper technique, blocking and tackling, and

735
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: don't worry about winning games at such an early age.

736
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: And it's kind of crazy because here in the States

737
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: football is number one and has been number one as

738
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: far as you can go back recent memory, right, But

739
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: other places in the world, like football is fairly new

740
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: and there's the fan base is growing like crazy, especially

741
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: like over the UK. We're seeing that Brazil, Germany like

742
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: the game's getting but they've always had soccer that's been

743
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: you know one. Yeah, this is really cool that you

744
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: this this is expanding and tapping into organized football and

745
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: other other countries and other areas because it's you know,

746
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: it's it's really cool and I think football is going

747
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: to eventually become global. But here in the States, you

748
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: think it's global just because that's all we've ever known.

749
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: But it's really just starting to start to grow and

750
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: kind of get out there. So This is really cool

751
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: what you got over there. Got some presents for you guys.

00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: It's thoughts and prayers and spilling for you. He said,

910
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: Douglas go to hell. Well, damn, I'm just kidding. He

911
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: did not say that, Douglas, but he listens to the

912
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: show and said this this is his favorite show that

913
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: we have on on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. So I thought,

914
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: I was, well, I would like to think, you know,

915
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: it's cool. I would like to think that. Sorry, I

916
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: said so much at the beginning, now because you was

917
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: on you know what, man, you know it's all right because,

918
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: like I said, I forgive everybody and they little blunders

919
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 1: because you tell us about I can mispronounce the names.

920
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: You're looking at you and my mom. You and I

921
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: would tap and name and I've had players call me

922
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, this is how you pronounced my name,

923
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: and they'll send it to me texts. You can chop

924
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: it up in the house and you still mess it

925
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: like thank you forgive me ahead of time. Yep. But

926
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was really cool. And as I'm talking

927
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: to him on the sidelines getting some things set up, Um,

928
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: a gentleman leans over to me because you think we're

929
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: winning today. I was like, yeah, you know, you know

930
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: Hindsight's twenty twins, Like, yeah, it's like it's not gonna

931
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: be tough. This is a good team. I think people

932
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: are under selling them. I said, I think I think

933
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. See see that, I knew the doubt

934
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: was coming home. That's how we go. And we don't

935
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: want to underst it anyway, Ring talk show, talk show, anyway,

936
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: it's a call. It was a gentleman wearing a number

937
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: fifty throwbacks, Shawn Lee Jersey, and it just so happened

938
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: to be Shawn Lee's father. So his mother and father

939
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: actually drove in from from Pennsylvania, drove over five hours

940
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: to go to the game. We're going to the game

941
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: and then turning around and driving straight back, not even

942
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: spending the night. And they are just like what I

943
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: would expect Shawley's parents to be, the nicest, sweetest, Well,

944
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: who's the nicest I thought you said the nicest family

945
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: was our tight end. They're all nice, hob nobbing with

946
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: all the family Martin folk. So we've got so so

947
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: where did Jay father fit in? And all these the

948
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: nicest too, They're all equally nice. They are all the

949
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: nicest people I have ever met. Well, Mama, gross can't

950
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: be nice dealing with you every day you ran off?

951
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: You know you made a hang up on the pens

952
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: on what day of the week it is? Hey, you go, Reginald.

953
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 1: Do we really have a call? Douglas? Yeah, the same

954
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: one I gave you two minutes into the show. Well,

955
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: what's funny is you said that and we didn't even

956
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: hear it. We didn't even hear it. In here. It

957
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,479
Speaker 1: sound like talking to somebody in the room. So, well,

958
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: who it's this person? That's that's debate on this person?

959
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: Who who is? Are you wanting to guess? You want

960
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: to tell us who it is? And then what did

961
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: they want to talk about? Well, it's James in New

962
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: York City, and I'll let him tell you what he

963
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: wants to come on and there we talk all the time.

964
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk about how great you want? No

965
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: talk about the game. Let's talk about the resiliency of

966
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: you for staying on the phone for an hour. Man, Sorry,

967
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: we didn't hear it. We didn't hear Douglas tell us

968
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: we hadn't one of Jason garrett adversity speeches. You know

969
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: that we talked about this fundamentals because I used to

970
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 1: coach that level football too, and I had to coach,

971
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: what is why you guys so good? He goes, we

972
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: just know how to block me, know the top. So yeah,

973
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: we spot out of that, you know. But anyway, it's

974
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: about the game itself. I mean, this is my take

975
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: on the game. I'm my concern. I mean, I'm not

976
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: even sweating the game. I mean you can see it.

977
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: You can feel it, kind of like that let down

978
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: after like the big Saints an Eagles game. Um, you

979
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: know clearly the intensity level closed to that game. More.

980
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those Mulligan games that you

981
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: just chunk it up. We felt this reset. I'm I'm

982
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: with I'm with that opinion on the game. I mean

983
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: made I've seen even you have some ball teams, you know,

984
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: once in a while you just get one of those

985
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 1: games and the next game is the one that'll tell

986
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: you is this team for real? Is or not? What

987
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: do you think? Do you think this team for real

988
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: or are they not? I think their defense is for real.

989
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: I think their offense when it's executing, like Nate says,

990
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: that's another thing they didn't execute yesterday. You know, those

991
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: mis throws that we got away within the Saints and

992
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: then the Eagles game and those turnovers that came to

993
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: bite us. So that's what to me, that's what they

994
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: got to clean up on. They got to execute, and

995
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: they got to take advantage. You can't have drops in

996
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 1: the red zone, you can't have holdings up. They're done

997
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: like that. That stuff can kill you in big games.

998
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: But my concern is, though, is when we lost our

999
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: back up left guard. And you know a lot of

1000
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: times these teams, what separates them is their death. And

1001
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: now we're dipping into the third string guys, the fourth

1002
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: string guys, and we played without Travis Fresi the whole

1003
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: year now and Tyrone, face it, he's not the same guy.

1004
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's given it everything he's gotten. I love

1005
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: the guy, but he's not the same player. And when

1006
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: you lose Jack Martin, you know, not playing this game now.

1007
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking at right now, because that offensive

1008
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: line is a lot of trouble Zack Stunt out there.

1009
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: And if you lose your backup left card, I mean, man,

1010
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to compete. I mean you could see it.

1011
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: You know, the pass rush was getting to Dack. You know,

1012
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: when he gets sacked. What he's getting sacked like four

1013
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: or five six times to games league sacks. Yes. Second,

1014
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: but it's like that, I mean first second, when when

1015
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: you're getting beat like that, when you're getting beat up

1016
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: right there now, I don't think that really cares. Something

1017
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: like that seventh times history the killer guys, those drive killers, man,

1018
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: you know when you got to experienced guys. No, now

1019
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: you're going against when you get the playoffs, you're going

1020
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: against teams. You're going against that, you're going against the

1021
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: best players you know. And I like to hear it

1022
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: with because then you played the offensive line. I'm imagine

1023
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: imagine you listen to three guys on the line. I like,

1024
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: how would you guys, like what were the offensive one?

1025
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: Du you know, be on the fly that help you?

1026
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: Like listening like what would what would be like your

1027
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: right if you were playing with him? Right now? Uh?

1028
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: What you say? That what I'm saying? Team? Please please

1029
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: mark that? Please mark No. I heard what I heard

1030
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: what he's saying. Because ever he said he a Cowboy fan?

1031
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: How long have you been a Cowboy fan? I've been

1032
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan since I was nine, so I was

1033
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. Was the first run? Okay, because you

1034
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: missed him eleven sacks. We gave football in my sandwich,

1035
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: we don't watch something, okay, yeah, Giants and the Jets.

1036
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: So he got on TV one fan sweat swear everything.

1037
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, yeah, so I pretended that I can't hear him.

1038
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: We're like, he mustn't see the eleven s gave. He could. Yeah,

1039
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: you watched the highlights and stuff like that as the

1040
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: Eagles game. But you know, you know I was lucky.

1041
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: You know, I got into it right right when I

1042
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: got sweet. So yeah, you know, But but I mean,

1043
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: that's that's I mean, you're an experienced guy. I mean,

1044
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: does you guys know that offensive line? That depth? I

1045
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,959
Speaker 1: mean yeah, depth. Back in the day, we didn't worry

1046
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: about depth because guys one't being signed on the Sarah cap.

1047
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: Everything was open. And now this Sarah cap really constricts you.

1048
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: So you know, you have to be how many you

1049
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: can dress for a game, and you know, and stuff

1050
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: like that. And and as soon as we lost Zack Martin,

1051
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: it would have became uh not Zach. As soon as

1052
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: we lost uh Frederick out have been concerned. And whereas

1053
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: we had eighteen wide receivers, out have had eighteen officsive linement.

1054
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: That's just me. Yeah. Well, thanks for the call, man,
