You know there's four chairs. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:21.400 R P. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.680 Rob Phillips, No, Robin Vegas, Rob Vegas he said one 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:28.160 for Ali. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.800 Well, whenever you say Rob, my brain is all going 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.400 to Rob. Yeah, that's that's King. Oh, Rob from Vegas. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.360 He's gonna have some things to say tomorrow. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.600 No, yeah really yeah you think so, Yeah, we'll see, 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:41.119 we'll see. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:42.119 You know, he's got If. 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.800 You have Rob from Vegas here, you'd have to like 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.759 keep the censor button like right, yeah, just over your fingers. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:47.760 Yeah. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.360 Well we're gonna be ready for tomorrow on that like that. 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.520 But anyways, that's that's for Tomorrow's. 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.760 That's for tomorrow, guys. Obviously, we had the of course 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.760 new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, that was announced. We had 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.880 the productory press conference yesterday. But I kind of want 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.000 to bury the lead here. Obviously that happened, we have 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.080 the press conference to talk about, but I kind of 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.239 want to walk through what the last week has looked 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.720 like for you guys, obviously as staff riders of Dallas 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.959 covers dot com. Obviously it's the editor for Dallas Cobies 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.800 dot Com. I kind of want to walk through the 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.560 timeline and basically get a sense of what to last 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.560 week look like leading up to this decision. 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:27.120 Well, I'll say this, it looks it's it's it starts 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.919 early and it ends late, so you know, you're not. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.040 Just because you're not at your desk working doesn't mean 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.320 you're not working and grinding. And if you know, you know, 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.800 our guys worked hard. Our guys worked hard and trying 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.960 to chase this thing down. I know, Patrick's a big 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.320 part of it. I get more text messages from Patrick, Tommy, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.120 you know, you you know, as far as things that 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.040 we see and all that, And that's that's the thing. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.360 Off season to me is so much harder than the 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.720 regular season because the regular season is like, all right, 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.480 you know exactly what's coming. There's gonna be press conference tomorrow, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.440 there's gonna be locker room, you get that. But this 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.359 is like maybe there's something, maybe there's not. You're kind 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:03.560 of your head's always on the switch. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:04.919 There are more things important than a clock. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.480 Yeah, that's true. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.800 That, I mean, it's just facts. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.120 That and that is true. That was a good answer 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.120 because that I don't know if I love the question, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.000 but you know, I mean just because it was like 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.000 there's no timeline on things like that. And that's that's 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.360 the thing about the off season. You're just you don't 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.760 know when things are happening, but you just always have 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.680 to stay ready. And I think you know, so I'm 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.200 talking about the process, Park Patrick, you talk about the 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.160 actual his actual question of like how things developed, how 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:33.840 we got here. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.720 Well, I mean, I mean it was unexpected. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.800 Well yeah, it was unexpected, wildly unexpected. And had him 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.360 on the list, Yeah yeah, I did have them on 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.520 the list of twenty candidates, and I know some kind 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.600 of looked at that and said, you know, no, no shot, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.520 even though I didn't list him as a front runner 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.000 as far as internally, internally, I listed Mike Zimmer as 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.160 the front runner. But then with that being said, I said, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.040 it's up to Zim to decide that he wants to 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.480 continue coaching. And right now, as we have the conversation, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.000 the expectation is that Zimmer is going to probably retire 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.520 from the NFL. But that being said, he won't be 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.280 back as DC because we expect Matt Eberfluss will reunite 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.720 with the Cowboys, and that news could drop at any moment. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.080 To your point, it could come out of the left field, 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.960 right field, center field. But the process was I mean, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.479 obviously it led with the informal conversations with Dion and 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:23.080 then of course, unfortunately that colored the remainder of the 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.679 search because everyone then was expecting the hoping the Dion 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.320 thing would would be a thing. But as we sat 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.600 here on this panel and said, it was never really 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.120 a thing, right. There was some interest there, but it 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.200 didn't have enough traction to make sense. That's why there 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.200 was no formal interview. So then they move on from that. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.600 For the most part, you get Leslie Fraser in here, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.960 Robert Sala, Kellen Moore, and everybody was panicking because they 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.600 thought Kellen Moore would be returning. They have questions about 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.440 is he a leader of men and things like that. 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.560 So spent the entirety of the weekend after Kellen Moore's 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.880 virtual interview basically watching Twitter coordinate Kellen Moore as the 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.440 head coach and then what have On Monday, out of 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:07.720 the darkness comes that horse, Brian Schottenheimer, and basically they 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.560 never really looked back from there. Pete Carroll had a 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.039 very real chance, but they couldn't agree to terms, and 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.359 so here we are. So it's a definitely a roller 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.520 coaster there, and then you talk about the assistant coach 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:22.200 is starting to leave. Robert Prince Bones fossil Al Harris, 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.279 who I spoke with and he told me that you know, 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.320 he's agreed to terms with the Chicago Bears. So and 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.400 this is just the beginning. We're not done. They have 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.880 an entire staff to build around him now. So tight 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.080 ends coach is Lundawell is going to be back in 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.719 the building hopefully, So offensive line coach clipped to the 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.599 defensive side of the ball. Assuming Matt eber Flus is in, 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.120 who's he putting this linebacker's culture? Is he going to 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.880 try to handle that particular task because he's done it before, right, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.520 So Scott Tozine reporter Scott Tozen is out reported least 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.000 choosing to not return. So to Nick Eaman's point, man, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.400 there's so much that makes it more difficult this offseason 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.960 because we don't have guaranteed access. So we Nick myself, Tommy, Josh, 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.279 we have to track down this information. It's not coming 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.400 to us like on a Wednesday in a press conference, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.320 on a Thursday in the locker room. We gotta make 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.880 you go find that. Yeah, so we're still working in 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.760 the Cowboys. They crossed the first finish line and choosing 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.159 the head coach, but there are several more finish lines 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.040 that need to be crossed. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.520 Selfishly, is there a sense of relief now that we 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.520 have a head coach. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.560 Yeah, I mean selfishly is a good is a good answer. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:26.920 It's a good word because I get asked a lot, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.599 like during the season, you know, the last few games 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.320 of the year, do you want a new coach you 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.440 think McCarthy should come back? Selfishly, I hate coaching searches 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.640 for everything that Patrick just said, I don't like them. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.000 Now are they necessary in this case? 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:41.279 Yeah? 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.520 Probably, And it seems like it seems like it was 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.360 so because it's it's it's tough to deal with because 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.280 everybody now with the media has got it, you know, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:50.719 source here, this has happened. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.440 You know, I heard several different onesers like oh it's done, Yeah, 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.159 Shill is done. You know, it was several different names 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.960 that it's like okay, and then you're starting to cope 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.320 with that ye throughout the day, and then two hours 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.960 later you hear another thing. So at that point you 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:05.440 kind of. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.960 I did include you when I said Patrick and Tommy, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.160 I didn't, y, Yeah, because if I if I remember correctly, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.440 I think Josh actually told me the news. I'll just 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.920 leave it at that. It's happening. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.960 I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah, I kind of have a 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:25.600 source here and there. But yeah, the tiny But like 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.000 I said, the news was kind of changing each and 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:28.440 every day. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:29.280 Yeah, and we were. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.520 And as a fan, first me, I had to kind 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.600 of cope with decisions that I didn't necessarily love right 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.400 off of that. But now we're here, Now we have 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.760 the name picked. It's official. We had the introductory press 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.960 conference yesterday, which I want to get into. Obviously it happened. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.239 It happened on a of course. It was late Friday 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.640 night when we got to announce it, and now Monday 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.160 morning when we have the press conference, big deal. Obviously 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.280 a lot of people in the the upstairs, the big, 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.400 big hall. As he said, what was the I'm mature 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.640 in the room before the press conference versus after, Well, 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.600 I know what you're seventy. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.559 Well it actually wasn't. It was more like eighty five. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:12.920 I don't know. 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.200 The sunlight, we needed curtains and that place up there, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:17.280 I'm sorry, he said. 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.280 I was like, I'm going to say he's getting hot. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.640 But anyway, now I know what you're saying and we're 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.280 jacking around here. I guess this is what would give 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.800 is talking about love it. Yeah, let's go now, he 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.480 if you could win a press conference. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:32.880 He won it. 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.040 Okay, if that's possible, that's not the wins that he 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.640 that has to happen here. I understand that. But but 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.719 he did a really good job. I you know, the 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.240 whole leader of men can I think, well, we already 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.200 know that. I mean, we already saw the guys coming up, 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.679 you know, and and and Dak is the leader of that. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.240 A lot of guys too, a lot of coaches as well, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.160 coaches that have already been signed, some coaches probably still 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:56.920 looking for jobs. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:02.000 You know. Some of that could be like I'm here 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.199 for grats. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.200 But but and still though, I just think he's got 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.679 people's respect, especially the players, and I think he got 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:11.959 a lot of the media's respect to it. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.200 And it sounds like some of the fans too. Hey, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.319 all sounds. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.720 Good until you lose a game or you see what 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.880 happens and you lose the fourth quarter, and you know, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.680 and you make a bad decision, and then then the 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.719 bullets will be flying. But as it stands right now, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.720 I thought he did as good as he could do 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:26.720 to change some perception. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.959 I agree with that because a lot of fans that 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.720 I'm speaking with and they're reaching out to me social media. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.960 I'm getting a common thread in that they did not 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.920 realize how impressed they would be with Schottenheimer as far 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.959 as his ability to speak and his ability to go 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.320 the extra mileth So, for example, take the question that 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.000 I posed to him. That was not an easy question. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.360 I was basically asking him straightforward. I was like, Hey, 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.160 how are you going to modernize this offense? What is 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.080 tell us what this looks like? He not only answered, 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.880 But then what impress me even more was when he 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.720 had provided a sufficient answer for me, but then said, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.240 let me explain more. Yes, by all means do so. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.760 This is a very high football like you guy, right 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.640 he's born and bred in football, talk about his dad 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.000 and his just family, the Schottenheimer's. But as much as 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.240 we have rightful concerns that we talked about on the 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.400 podcast yesterday, the fact that this is his first NFL 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.600 head coaching job, the fact that we don't know what 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.040 Schottenheimer's offense looks like because he wasn't the one calling plays, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.280 and we'll get to those concerns. But as far as 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.719 winning the press conference, I believe he absolutely did that. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.680 He's won a lot of fans over just this me 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.240 looking at the fandom and the temperature warmed up to him. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.400 As far as the fans are concerned, Leader of men 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.280 was never a question and definitely solidarity there. You see 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.400 brock Hoffman, de Marveion over shown, you see Dak Prescott, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.280 you see the entirety of the strength and conditioning staff. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.120 You see coaches that are not even under contracts sitting 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.880 there just showing the solidarity. 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.520 Would like, I was curious on what you thought about 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:56.680 Shottenheimer as well. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.400 I was, this is something that's been brought a lot 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.679 on Cowboys storyline, and as a fan, I listen all 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.960 the time, and you're right about a lot of things, 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.000 about quite a lot of things. But one of the 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.520 things that kind of always pops up for me is 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.520 like the interest is always going to be there. If 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.439 you're you know, a fan, you know you're going to 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.400 get upset when we don't make it to the super 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.160 Bowl and that cycle is going to start repeating. It's 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.320 it's I mean, at this point, it's it is a 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.200 thirty year drought. There is kind of an abusive relationship 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:31.520 going on with being with loving the Cowboys, but I mean, seriously, 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.320 you know it's toxic toxic. And then when we come 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.280 back around to training camp, I think you're going to 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.960 get a lot of people that are excited again. Yeah, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.319 you're going to see a lot of the changes that 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.520 are made, hopefully in free agency and the draft, because 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.240 you know, we always that there are always draft picks 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.800 that you can be excited about when it comes to 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.520 the Cowboys because you have Will mclan in charge in 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:51.360 that respect. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.760 That's a good point, and I feel like you need 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.480 to build from the inside out, you know. I think 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.520 that the Zach Martin pick was such a great pick, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.080 and that you can get another pick like that at twelve, 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.240 get a guard tackle that's gonna be great. But the 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:08.080 excitement from ox Star if you get Ashtroon genty or 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.080 or a boom a player or even Missouri receiver, which 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.160 I'm not a huge fan of. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:16.880 At that spot, but playmakers, playmaker and difference makers and 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.040 more building blocks. Because you saw the building blocks there yesterday. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.120 Those at the press conference. You saw the guys that 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:24.520 are going to be here for a long time, that 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.360 are going to be able to build this team around 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.800 you that you want. Right as far as what he said, 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.920 I was very impressed. I liked what he said, and 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.840 I guess kind of what gets caught up in a 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.600 coaching search like this where you have a lot of 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.000 I mean, you had big name coordinators out there that 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.920 were taking that next step and becoming head coaches. That's like, okay, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.080 I wish we would interview this guy. I wish we'd 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.679 interview this guy. And a lot of that is caught 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.640 up in x's and o's, whereas Schottenheimer was very clear 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.520 to be like, it's you know, the x's and o's 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.880 will come. It is about being a leader of men, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:00.000 and it is about commanding. His opening statement very much 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.800 said that and talking about his legacy as well. I 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.280 mean I had a quote here. I mean, of course, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.160 he goes, I'm ready now, I know what, I know 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.960 what I want, I know what it looks like. He 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.960 also says I'm gonna get a chance to do what 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.600 my daddy didn't get, which was a super Bowl. If 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.559 it kills me, things like that, I think are going 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.680 to flip a switch for certain fans, because if you 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.959 hear something like that and you can relate to that 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.319 at all, it's it's romanticized. 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.079 Yeah, he's he seems like. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.640 Jason Garrett, but less robotic and more like a person. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.000 No because Jason Garrett. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.440 No, I say that from a fan person. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.760 But Jason, I heard the collector say, Garrett, Hey, he's 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.000 a leader of men. He can stand up in front 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.719 of the room. You ever heard him stand up in 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.120 front of the team and talk to the team like 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:48.960 like he he can do that. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:49.720 He can do that. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.960 I don't know that that. The x's and o's were 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.600 quite there for Jason Garrett. But I know what you're 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.560 saying as about instilling a culture, right, I. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.280 Think you could go and and we we saw he 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.480 walked by us the other day and yesterday and you know, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.600 sugar sugar hands talk to us a little bit. I 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.880 think he I think you introduced yourself one time. I 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.640 think he knows your name. I mean, I think I 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.880 think that's kind of the way he is, and that 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:12.720 that is that. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.720 Is Oh you've heard that multiple times people person Yeah 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:15.320 when it comes. 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.280 To but but but it's gotta it's got to lead 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.720 to that. And you know, there were some there were 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.080 some really interesting things about his personality that I kind 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.840 of saw that I just I just liked it. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.640 Well, there are two parts of this. First part is 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.560 saying the right things. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:32.400 Check. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.800 Yeah, he's done that. Now it's doing the right things. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.280 So and it's like I said on the podcast yesterday, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.480 I'd loved nearly everything he said in that press conference yesterday. 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.320 Now it's show me, show me, show me the your 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.800 love for pre snap motion, as you said, because now 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.000 I want to hold you accountable to it. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:51.520 You said it. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.840 Now we're all gonna hold you accountable pre snap motion 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.720 cut splits and things like that. Not establishing the run 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.160 for the sake of saying you established the run, but 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.160 establishing the run so that you can play off of 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.000 it with the play action. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.360 For Dak Prescott, we. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:05.760 Are making those plays look the same. 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.320 So credit to him, right. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.280 Credit to him for being transparent and putting that out 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.960 there knowing full well that now you're going to be 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.480 held accountable for that. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.040 And that the first part. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.360 The fact that he was being transparent and communicative with that, Now, 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.640 that should give you some type of optimism because he's 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.760 not ducking dodge and he's not giving you these prepackaged answers. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.800 He's saying, this is how I want the offense to go. Great, wonderful. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.840 Now when training camp gets here, part two is let 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:31.320 me see if. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:31.720 You prove this. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.680 All right, boys, let's take our very first break.
