Who we got young Nick 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: cares from Fort Worth Star Telegram and caught the author, 10 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 3: former Cowboy Beat writer. He is Jean Jacques Taylor. I 11 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 3: am new He scrugs here, all right, guys. Uh, yesterday 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: Stephen Jones was asked about Michael Parsons and asked about 13 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 3: Michael Parsons and ask more and more about Michael Parsons 14 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 3: and he goes fred up. Yeah, Nick, your takeaway from 15 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 3: Steven's frustration, This isn't the first time he's got questions. 16 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 3: I mean, lord knows the last two Dak Prescott questions. 17 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: I mean, he got hit up all day long. 18 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, rarely have. 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 3: We seen Steven get to this type of boiling point 20 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: like he did. 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he has to see it coming that that 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 4: he's going to be getting these questions right, and the 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 4: frustration that he had was almost as if he was 24 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 4: caught off guard by the question. And that's going to 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 4: be the first thing we ask about right now, because 26 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 4: that's the most pressing thing left in the offseason is 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 4: when's Michael Parson's gonna get his deal back? 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: And I'm thinking of it just like you. Okay, this 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: is all fixable. Yeah, we don't know why it's not fixable, 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: and he's not going to give us that because the 31 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: nature of the negotiations. But well, this was coming. And 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,919 Speaker 3: when you look at the fact guys that other teams 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 3: wanted on these they're done. That's the frustrating part for 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 3: Cowboy fans. Clamb last year. 35 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: In Sanity, bab and Tyler Smith's gonna be coming. 36 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 3: It doesn't stop, It doesn't stop. 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 4: Okay. 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: The only question really, though, is how long does it take? 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't really matter that it's not done right now, 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: It really doesn't. It matters to me, not that Steven 41 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: cares what I think. 42 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: But it matters. 43 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Is it done on day one of training camp so 44 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: that it doesn't drip into the season. 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: Uh, that's what matters. 46 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: You'd like to have it done now. 47 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 3: But you don't want a. 48 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: Situation where what do we have? Well, I think if 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: he signs now, he'll be ready to play by the 50 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: first game. You don't want that because this team is 51 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: not good enough to give away some games because their 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: best player is not available for week one. So as 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: long as he's good when at first see, we gotta 54 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: go old school. When the first training camp practice happens, 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: you could even show you ain't got to be done 56 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: on the day's camp starts. First practice though. You need 57 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: number eleven out there. 58 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: So when I think about the schedule, yeah, okay, the schedule. 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 3: You start off at Philadelphia on a Thursday night and 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 3: the home teams a Super Bowl champion traditionally wins that game. 61 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: We just kind of look at the numbers here, but 62 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: it's a divisional game. Your second game is a divisional game. 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: It's against the Giants. Here, you're looking at the back 64 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: half of the schedules, rough, Okay, you start looking at 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: November twenty third. You go Philadelphia, Kansas City, Detroit, Minnesota, 66 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: LA Chargers, Washington Commanders of New York Giants. The first 67 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: part of the schedule is kind of where you in 68 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: October September October. You got to try and gain some 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: ground here, and if your best defensive player is not 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: here or you sign him late, and then he's like 71 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: ceedee Lamb. 72 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: Was well, that's what I'm saying. 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: No, I am stuff going on. No, No, you know 74 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: you're this team isn't good enough having to go up 75 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: against the NFC North, the AFC and the two teams 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: who finished in the NFC Championship game in your division 77 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: to not have their best player here ready to go 78 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: ramped up. 79 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: And every indication that Mike has given us since this 80 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: contract stuff has come about is that he will be 81 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 4: here at training camp until he had this little two 82 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 4: sentence quote and a tweet that he had last night, 83 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: and I want to get your guys opinion on this. 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: This is in reference to mandatory mini camp next week. 85 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: He said, I will be there. I haven't missed a 86 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: mini camp in four years. That's fact. Even though the 87 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 4: contract is not done. I have teammates in a playbook. 88 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 4: This is the part I'm preparing as if I will 89 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 4: be on the field the first week of camp. But 90 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 4: it's in the owner's hands. Well that that tells me, hey, 91 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: I'll be there first week of camp. But it's up, Jerry. 92 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 4: You know I'm planning on it, But it's up Jerry. 93 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 3: Jock, You've been right in a long time. We know what, 94 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: we know what. But means, hey, man, everything I just said, 95 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: but just take it out, no man, But it's in 96 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: the owner's hands. Meaning but if the owner doesn't have 97 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: me sign, I'm not doing this. 98 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm not doing I'll be there when my dealers done. 99 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: And it's the old Ricky Waters line for who for what? 100 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Man, That's just the way it is. And that's why 101 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: to me, everybody's who signed and his you know, to 102 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: help determine his market's been done. We know what the 103 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: numbers are. We probably put him down right now and 104 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: be within, you know, real close to it. And so 105 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: it's not real complicated to me. It's just, you know, 106 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: this the way the Cowboys do business and have done business. 107 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: And I you know, I'm not going to sit up 108 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 3: here and act like I talk to anybody. I know 109 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: what's going on here. I don't just look from the outside. 110 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 3: The frustrating part for Cowboy fans is the Eagles get jobbed, 111 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: they get things done. The Lions are getting things done, 112 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: the Rams are getting things. 113 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: We don't know what goes on in their household. True, 114 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: and that's what your parents used to say. 115 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: But as Parcels used to say, don't talk to you 116 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 3: about the labor. Show me the baby, show me the baby. 117 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: Your baby late ever, what to do date baby baby lay? 118 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: Every year we've got a twelve month baby. 119 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 3: I was probably everybody getting their babies out gestature your 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: baby all breached and late and the whole thing and 121 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 3: see sectioned out. 122 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 5: Man. 123 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: It's just like, at some point in time, man, can 124 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: we deliver this baby on time? 125 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 4: Baby talking words coming out right right? 126 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's like, let's still hope, man, They still 127 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: hope it can get done. There's no good reason for 128 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: it not to get done. But we said that before. 129 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: So you know, we've all said what the definition of 130 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: insanity is? You know, you're doing the same thing hope 131 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: for a different results. So cowboys, I like to say 132 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: that they are smart people, and so I believe that 133 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: they will see what has happened, especially with a guy 134 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: like Stone look at me like that, specially with a 135 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: guy like Michael and what you need from him for 136 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: the season. You just want him there, hey, Cap, you 137 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: don't need no strained quads, no strained hamstrings because you 138 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: didn't get off. 139 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: You just do that. And let's add this in here 140 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: as well. Guys probably should have mentioned this earlier. This 141 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: is the third defensive coordinator that Michael Parsons. 142 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: Is going to have in three So what is. 143 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: It Matt Eberflus wants to do with Parsons? You kind 144 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: of need him out there. We can go back to 145 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: the first training camp when Dan Quinn was here and 146 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: he figured out, Okay, this is what I like from Parsons, 147 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: this is what I want to do, and so he's 148 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: out there having those conversations with Mike McCarthy and I 149 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: remember the times after practice there, McCarthy and Quinn and 150 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: Mike and they're walking up and down the field having 151 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: those conversations, and d Q started kind of formulating a 152 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: vision of what he wanted to do. If you're going 153 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: to be fair to Brian Schottenheim, if you're going to 154 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: be fair to Matt Eberflus, to get this team and 155 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: this defense running, put the key piece that you want 156 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: to go at, your chest piece that you need out there, 157 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: Get him there, get him there going, get him there happy. 158 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: Let's not drag this thing out. And I say all this. 159 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 3: Something could be done tomorrow, something over the weekend. 160 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: It's not hard to get it done. It's really not. 161 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean, anytime we've had these situations again, we can 162 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: come up with what the numbers are because they're just 163 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: slotting in the head of the last gay, the latest guy, 164 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: the newest It's not that hard to put the numbers together. 165 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: They had the cap room to do it. You know, 166 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: it's a matter of getting it done. 167 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 168 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the most mind numbing topic this entire offseason, 169 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 4: hands down, because you know what's going to get done. 170 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 4: It's a matter of times, a matter of if and win. 171 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. 172 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 4: But it's just it's it's my number to talk about 173 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: because I feel like we could all predict the number 174 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: right now. 175 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 176 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 4: We'd all predicted, just as we did with DAK and CD. 177 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, you're right, and that this is the 178 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: beat to me not being a full time beat guy 179 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: like and and for you and you're. 180 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: Have to write one more contract story right in your world. 181 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 3: It's not only do you have to write it, but 182 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 3: it gets traffic. Yeah, So the bosses want it because 183 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 3: they want the numbers and the thing. 184 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: Getting you know, that's that's fascinating you bring that up, 185 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 4: because yes, there was a lot of traffic around the 186 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 4: DAK and CD. I think people are numbed to this 187 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 4: topic too, because the traffic around Mica contract stuff is 188 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 4: not as high as it was around DAK and. 189 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: CD and and I'll tell you one reason why this 190 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 3: is just me Dak being the quarterback of the Cowboys, 191 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: and also the way ESPN pushes there, and you have 192 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: and and and the the the other little Fox show 193 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 3: with the crazy dudes over there. There's so much. There 194 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 3: was so much debate and disdain from certain people about 195 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: the quarterback that it was something they drived and pushed. 196 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: There's not a level of disdain for Parsons the way 197 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: and debate about it the way it was for the quarterback. 198 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 3: Even to this day. Still you have some reality he's 199 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 3: not worth this and I worked at that that everybody's 200 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: pretty much in agreement. Michael Parsons is an elite plat 201 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: pass rusher and one of the best in the game. 202 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 3: So that's why I think there's not as much because 203 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: it's it's not as polarizing. 204 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fair. 205 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 3: Maybe that's the better word I should have be should 206 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 3: be polariz Yeah, they that they have used that as 207 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: a polar If you're polarized about Michael Parson's I think 208 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: you don't know football. 209 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 4: And if you're like, if you're none to the contract talk, 210 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 4: just get ready for next offseason because it's gonna be 211 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: all this time one hundred. Not only do you have 212 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 4: Tyler Smith, you have Deron Bland. That's gonna be a 213 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: very fascinating one track. Uh, Trayvon Dicks, what is what 214 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 4: is his contract situation gonna look like next year? Jake Ferguson, 215 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: I mean the list goes down, We're gonna have some 216 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: fascinating ones. 217 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't thank them lest to that fascinating. 218 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll give you that. Mor So Blade and Smith 219 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 4: and Brandon Aubrey too. He's gonna be due up. 220 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 3: So Harvey real, assuming you slapped franchise tag on. 221 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, cheap franchise makes the most sense. 222 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: Go ahead and do that on him. But the other two. 223 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: We'll see the problem with de Ryan Blaine is it's 224 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: nobody's fults. Just what it is is he somewhere between 225 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: that historic year and what he did last year where 226 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: he's he's cool, but he's not special, you know, uh, 227 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: and so you're not sure. 228 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: What to pay him. 229 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: So he needs this year will be a much better 230 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: gauge if he can, if he can be healthy on 231 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: who he is as a player. 232 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 3: So let me throw this out here because it brought 233 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: me something we've seen them do before as they tried 234 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: to send messages. What they go get a Bland deal done? 235 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: Can't Okay, hey you're done. We got you. And they 236 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: get him at their price, which we've seen. Oh so 237 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: they got at their price. They got digs at their price, 238 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 3: they got a tyrs at their price. Bland may be 239 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 3: a guy who's willing to say, hey, man, let me 240 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: go ahead. 241 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: If I was playing, I would go get it at 242 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: my price because I had a historic season. I had 243 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: a mess season. You know, I didn't get any real 244 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: money when I got drafted in the fifth round, right, 245 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: so let me go locked down in the future. See 246 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: how I did that right now? 247 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 3: So I would I would be game for that. 248 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: Plus, they're trying to play me in the slot where 249 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: the money's not as big as it is on the outside. 250 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: My attitude about playing the slot, it's a lot better 251 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: when I've already got my deal done. 252 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, if I was blading, I would lock it 253 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 4: down right now if I could too, because then you're 254 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 4: you're not risking injury of course this next season as well. 255 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: And you take fear, you take away. That's a that 256 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: is a major thing, as you talked about, Jock, when 257 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: you're a day two guy and you haven't been able 258 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 3: to cash in yet and you've got an injury here, 259 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: you get the right money, take away the fears. Hey, 260 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: I've got life I've got life changing money in my 261 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 3: pocket right now, versus trying to go out to the 262 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 3: market and maybe getting it maybe not, you know, the 263 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 3: whole maybe part of it. Plus, you know, any good 264 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: agent will start to talk about you're living in a 265 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: place with an uns state taxes, so you know a 266 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: difference between a contract here in New York or California 267 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: or or Michigan where the money could be even a 268 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: little bit more but not the same. 269 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: So they're also trying to ban THAC So it battances out. 270 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 4: It'll be all right, regardless. 271 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: What the league says. Politicians negatable. You know, it doesn't 272 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 3: mess with your money there, But I think that that's 273 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: something to think about. And then as you look at 274 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: someone like anybody who's who's been under a contract lately 275 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: that you know, a digs a steal, you're gonna have 276 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: to start to wonder, Okay, where are you fitting in 277 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: this this world going forward? As they add new deals 278 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: like a lamb uh. You know, Tyler Smith will get 279 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 3: paid here depending on what happens with Pickens. Just Pickens 280 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 3: have the kind of year that they say, you know, 281 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: we can't let this guy get out of the building here. So, yeah, 282 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 3: every everybody can't stay. This is what we know. 283 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: You know, everybody can't stay now. 284 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 3: As a great great journalist when told me sports is fluid, Yeah, 285 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 3: contracts are fluid too in the NFL. We know this. 286 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 4: I think the funniest possible scenario is they call David Mulligett, 287 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 4: who's Michael Parson's agent. It's like, hey, how's it going 288 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: finally talking to Yeah, we know your name. What about Pickens. 289 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 4: Let's get a deal done with Pickens, And they get 290 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 4: a deal done with Pickens instead setting into a contract year. 291 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: That would be interesting. You don't have a Pickens thought, 292 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 3: have a Pickens though, take a break, Okay, George Pickens 293 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: new Cowboy receiver.

Is what it is. 353 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: I had a chance to talk to him two weeks 354 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: ago in the locker room. Enjoyable conversation, you know. And 355 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: this is where I give Dak Prescott a whole lot 356 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: of credit. Where he'll just sit in the locker room 357 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: and hang out and talk. Pickens is sitting next to him. 358 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: The members are there, you know, everybody knows, like it's 359 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 3: not a Dak day to talk. We just you're just 360 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: talking to him. We're just talking, yes, humanized something I 361 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: wish Tony Romo would have done. He didn't want to 362 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: do that. Your choice. But anyway, you could see Pickings 363 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 3: sitting next to Dak, you'd see them perform in a relationship. 364 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 3: But anyway, just having a conversation with him, Okay, Perception 365 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: and reality are all these different things. We know this 366 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: as guys who go into the room or whatnot. And 367 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: I just I left there just saying to myself, you 368 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 3: know what, man, if this kid can make a real 369 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: connection with Dak Prescott, he may be able to have 370 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 3: the kind of year where you say, Okay, guess what, hey, 371 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 3: Jerry is a big decision. It has to be made 372 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 3: here about the player. Now it's easy for me to 373 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 3: say right here, we haven't you know, training camp season 374 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 3: tells you a whole different thing. But initially initially like 375 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 3: you know what look out for That's just my thought nick. 376 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 4: How that has translated onto the field I think has 377 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 4: already been seen too yesterday in OTA's and I try 378 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: not to put a whole lot of stock into OTAs 379 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 4: because it's underwear Olympics. It's underwear Olympics. However, when play 380 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 4: in the red zone, they were doing seven on seven 381 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 4: work and Dak's rolling out trying to find an open receiver, 382 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 4: and you can see him communicating with George Pickens offscript 383 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 4: and you see him directing traffic and he throws it 384 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: to Pickens along the sideline and Pickens, fully extended tiptoe 385 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 4: in the sideline, hauls it in. Referee on the side 386 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 4: motions that a touchdown, and I'm looking at that and 387 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 4: I'm like, man, you would think that they've had a 388 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 4: couple of years together already. It's only been a couple 389 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 4: of weeks on the field. So you see that, you 390 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 4: see that chemistry, that communication, You see it already forming 391 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 4: on the field. And I thought that was that was 392 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 4: seeing that conversation and seeing how they bonded. Then you 393 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 4: saw how that translated between the lines. 394 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: Pickens shows signs to me that he cares, and all 395 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 3: three of us have been around long enough to know 396 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 3: there's some dudes who are here because it's this job. 397 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 3: But everything being in the locker room, sitting next to 398 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 3: the quarterback, as he sees the quarterback working things and 399 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: just trying to figure out too, because his dack is 400 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: holding court. I'm sure you could tell he's like, who 401 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: should I talk to? How do I talk? He's trying 402 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 3: to figure out the lay of the lane from a 403 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 3: guy who's a veteran. So I'm like here saying, like, okay, 404 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 3: he's smart. The first press conference he gave, gave all 405 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 3: the right answers and then to say bad about Pittsburgh. No, 406 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: since it dumped on to me, I have a new chapter. 407 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 3: He we got coached properly, and but he took the 408 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 3: coaching all right. I mean, how many times do you 409 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: hear people who who who work with the president. And 410 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: we told we told him what to do. He went 411 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 3: up there to start shooting, doing his own thing. He 412 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 3: stayed on script, and so far, so good that hey, 413 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 3: here are the perceptions and the things that we've heard of. 414 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 3: Right now we're not seeing it, and no bullet to 415 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: have flown yet, But right right now what we're seeing 416 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 3: tells me, okay, even with Brian Scheinheimer, the way he's 417 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: gone about his business as a head coach, right now, 418 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 3: for all the question you real like, so hey, man, 419 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 3: you're doing you're doing, You're doing what you need to 420 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 3: be doing. 421 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: I think that's good. I think one of the things 422 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: I always try to do as a reporter is I 423 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: really don't care what anybody else has to say about 424 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: another person. You know, all the Pittsburgh not all of them, 425 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: a lot of Pittsburgh reporters. After they they they traded him, 426 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: they came on local radio, Oh he's this, he's that, 427 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: he's this, he's that, And really that's just those dudes. 428 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Individual relationships with him has nothing to do with anybody here. 429 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: And so, you know, as a reporter, I always try 430 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: to separate myself from from you. From you. I'm not Medya, 431 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: I'm just me, and you either get down with me 432 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: or you don't. And you try to create your own 433 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: individual relationships and give people a chance to show you 434 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: who they are in whatever they're newing viment is and 435 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: will people will show you whether they cool, whether they're 436 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: not cool, whether they selling, letther cuss words. I mean, 437 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: they'll show it to you don't have to, you don't 438 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: have to wait too long. And so you know, so 439 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: I think it's cool that he's come down here taking 440 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: advantage of a new start to create new relationships, new environment. 441 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: Because the thing about the media is, and I'm just 442 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: gonna keep it real with y'all. It's hard for fifty 443 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: year old white men to get down with twenty year 444 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: old black men and understand them and where they're coming from. 445 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: That's just a hard thing for them to do. And 446 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: so I don't really take it into account of anything 447 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: that that age bracket has to say about a twenty 448 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: year old black football player. What about teammates, teammates I 449 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: paid more attention to, but again it's the same thing. 450 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's got their own deal some things. For example, if 451 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: you are a Cowboys, not me and new are about 452 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: to date ourselves, especially for you. But if you're Cowboys 453 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: in the early nineties, in the mid nineties, back when 454 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: they were winning Super Bowls and going the championship games 455 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: and stuff, if Jimmy Johnson was your coach, your teammates 456 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: may say one thing about you, because that's what leadership is. 457 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: If Barry Swiss is your coach, they may say another 458 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: thing about you because there's a different leaderships. So it's 459 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: a different expectation, it's different standards, different everything, And so 460 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, you just have to give people room for 461 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: maturity and growth. I'm not the saying dude that was 462 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: at thirty or at forty or at fifty. I'm not 463 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: gonna date your age, but you're not saying, guy, you 464 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: were at eighteen or at twenty or twenty one. 465 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: Now you mentioned a word there that hits a lot 466 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 3: times too, is maturity and Randy. I tell people all time, 467 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: I truly believe Randy Moss succeeded because of where he 468 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 3: went to. Went to Minnesota. Here's Danny Green, there's Jake Reed, 469 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: there is Chris Carter, and that where he went to. 470 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 3: And I come back in this watch George Pickens and 471 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 3: just watching body language and trying to do and I 472 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: study a lot of just human nature. You going over 473 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: to Dak Prescott and sitting here and trying to be 474 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: around of it. Then what you've talked about here he is, 475 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 3: here's a dude with respect, Here's a guy that's that's it's, 476 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 3: you know, getting things done the right way. Let me 477 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: go over here Pittsburgh. We look at the quarterback situations 478 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 3: a lot. It's kind of messy, and it is still messy. Okay, 479 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 3: it is still messy in Pittsburgh.

Okay, hey, you know in terms 492 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 3: of that kind of that's a lot that Dak Prescott 493 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 3: wasn't in the fourth round pick. He was the second 494 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 3: fourth round pick. 495 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 4: Okay, he could become the franchises all time leading pastor 496 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 4: this year. 497 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 3: Right, this guy's had a help for career. And so 498 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 3: for a guy like Pickings, you're coming over here for 499 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 3: that situation, a man, let go gravitate toward this guy 500 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: that shows him some common sense as opposed to wishing 501 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 3: Mozzie Smith would. 502 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: Him gravitated to anyone literally gravitated to anyone. 503 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 3: Hello, Yeah, yeah, So there's a lot more to go, 504 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 3: but I'm just going by it. Here's here's your sample size. 505 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 4: So the reason I ask about teammate, and I brought 506 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 4: this up on the on the show, I think the 507 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 4: day after the trade is uh, I grew up with 508 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: a player that's on the Steelers now, and I called 509 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 4: him the morning after the trade. I said, hey, you 510 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 4: know who is George Pickens? From your perspective. You know, 511 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna report anything. I'm just kind of here 512 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 4: like getting perspective here. And he had mentioned great teammates, 513 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 4: Like everybody in the locker room loves him. He's the 514 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,239 Speaker 4: kid in class that all the kids love and all 515 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 4: the teachers hate. And it's it's professionalism. It was showing 516 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 4: up late to meetings, showing up late for await away 517 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 4: game flights, things like that. It's the little things. And 518 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 4: when you have a guy like George Pickens who's so 519 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 4: good on the field, it's kind of like a guy 520 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 4: that makes all the threes, you can trust him off 521 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 4: the bench, but when it comes to just making the 522 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 4: layups and making your free throws, he just can't get 523 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 4: it done. And so Dak great person, to gravitate too. 524 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 4: When you want to make your layups and make your 525 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 4: free throws. That's a guy who's made a lot of 526 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 4: layups and free throws. He needs more of the three pointers. 527 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 4: So if they can work together, he could work out 528 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 4: for him. 529 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 3: So I tell everybody this. When you say that, immediately 530 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: in my mind, go back and watch the Last Dance 531 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: and how Jordan dealt with Dinnis. 532 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 4: I love all your Last Dance references. How many times 533 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 4: have you seen it through? 534 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: It is, you know, for a for a guy who 535 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 3: grew up in North Carolina, when you're right when he 536 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 3: was playing, when he was playing, my introduction to basketball 537 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: was eighty two. I just connected the dots, okay, and 538 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 3: just so you know, for that whole thing, to watch 539 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 3: the whole the whole thing, you know, because Dennis, while 540 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 3: he was with the Pistol into with Chuck Dave Dinnis 541 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 3: was a great citizen. When he went to San Antonio, 542 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: he became all that got away from it. And then 543 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 3: when he went to the Bulls, you know, they were 544 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 3: able to you know, bother, but it was it was 545 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: a guy like Michael Jordan and the respect he had, 546 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 3: you know, what he did in San Antonio with David Robinson. 547 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 3: He was to be a pull off of Michael Jordan. 548 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 3: And I think for a guy like was, a guy 549 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 3: like Pickens when you see Pete, you know, respect that's 550 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 3: so much. Sometimes it's just you can have all the 551 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 3: coaches you want to, it's dudes in the room to 552 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 3: kind of help get that done. And that's like with 553 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 3: the Randy Moss. You know, it's dudes in the room. 554 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: And I think a guy like Pickens, who's a talented guy, 555 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 3: will respect people who are here at that level. 556 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 4: It's a great point because who is the leader in 557 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 4: that locker room? Naja Harris maybe, and look where he 558 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 4: is now and he's gone. Yeah, you know, yeah, he's gone. 559 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: You have to respect your leadership, man, and it had 560 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, every team's got some guys who proclaimed to 561 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: be leaders, who've been appointed leaders. 562 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 3: But if you don't respect them, it doesn't matter. But 563 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 3: let's also just understand this. Everybody wants to get paid.

God, I'll come back here. They looking like 668 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 3: John Wooden. So I was lucky enough to work in 669 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 3: Los Angeles being around John Wooden and people forget me, 670 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 3: sixteen years win what the first one? These are hard. 671 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 3: It's as hard it's not. 672 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: It's been thirty years here. These things are hard to do. 673 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to win, man. I mean, they should have 674 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: won in No. Seven fourteen sixteen. They had opportunities. It 675 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: was all there in front of them. I'll get it done. 676 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 3: I'll disagree with you on those seven. Yeah, should have 677 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: been there, But I don't think they win the game. 678 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: If they go it don't matter. Just get there. 679 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 3: I mean, they played, they played the Patriots earlier in 680 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 3: the year, and it was it was no contact in 681 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: Texas Stadium. 682 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: That's what you know. 683 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 4: It's like a Mary Barber run though, the two yard run, the. 684 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: One hundred yard run, the game two yards times. But yes, 685 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: they should have been there. That's all I'm saying. They 686 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: had chances to get to the super Bowl. They just 687 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: haven't done it. And that's why there's so much disdaining 688 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: about quarter bait. 689 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 3: That And it's also I just man, there's there's kind 690 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 3: of a culture thing about this town. What do you 691 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 3: mean in the sports. I mean, there's been so much 692 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 3: in twenty five years that I've been here, and there's 693 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 3: been a lot more sports disappointment than the victory. 694 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: Like the Devi Stars. 695 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, three straight, three straight and you can't even get 696 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 3: there to the final. 697 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: They got one and they got spanked in that one, 698 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: but they got to you know, so it's just just there. 699 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, when Tampa Bay and the and the 700 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 3: and the bubble and now look, Tampa Bay was you know, 701 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 3: that was a little dynasty they had, right, Tay was 702 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 3: a better team, you know, better team, But just you know, 703 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 3: it's we've seen it, man. FC Dallas, they finally get 704 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 3: to the front, they lose. I mean the MAVs the 705 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 3: first time O six, you go up to oh On Miami, 706 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 3: it's game three.

And then so when you're 733 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 3: walking down there, you're passing all the families because that family, 734 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 3: the families are right there because they're you know, they're 735 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 3: ready there for the celebration too. And it's like, ooh, yeah, 736 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 3: I said, So when you say on Cowboys, it's it's 737 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 3: it's we've seen what two parades. I've seen two parades 738 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 3: in twenty five years. 739 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 4: Man, it's a fascinating point JJT. Because when they did 740 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 4: get it a couple of years ago, the Rangers, there 741 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 4: was still I don't know how y'all felt still in 742 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 4: the back of my mind that disappointment and hurt from 743 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 4: twenty eleven. It's like, yeah, it feels great, but now 744 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 4: I wish that twenty eleven team had it. Do you 745 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 4: think the Cowboys franchise will kind of have the same feeling. 746 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 4: It's like, when that time comes around, it's like, oh, 747 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: they should have had in sixteen. Though there's still disappointment there, 748 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 4: like a ring's a ring. Don't get me wrong. 749 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: Oh those people are gonna be dead. 750 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 3: I think there's so much distance, no matter. So what 751 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 3: was interesting on the field in Arizona. There's Michael Young, 752 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: there's Ian cam And and there's Agent Beltrain. They were 753 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 3: all there and you know they're still young guys, and 754 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 3: you start thinking about the guys who played here to 755 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 3: the last one. I mean, you know, Troy A mean 756 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 3: is what fifty five? 757 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: No, we are saying nine, okay, So. 758 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 3: I mean these guys are you know versus you know, 759 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 3: these other dudes in Beltra. These guys worked to you know, decade, 760 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 3: you know, plus from from playing in that in that series. 761 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 3: That's how Josh Hamilton about a month and a half ago, 762 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 3: you know, so you know it's still fresh to those guys. 763 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: Josh Hamilton would have he'd have a statue out there. 764 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I've always said it had. The twenty eleven 765 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 3: Rangers is like the Cowboys Super Bowl thirteen team, that 766 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 3: Cowboy team. There's a lot of gold Jackets lost that day. 767 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 3: And when the Rangers didn't win, it twenty eleven. There's 768 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 3: a lot of people's careers in textas that are changed. 769 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 3: Josh Hamilton's contract is done, he never leaves. 770 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: They can get home nine of the tenth. 771 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 3: To tenth hit the two run home at ten, so 772 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 3: doesn't get traded, none of it. Ron Washington is still 773 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 3: the manager. I mean, there's a lot of these things 774 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 3: are still here because there's now there's grace, and there's 775 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 3: a championship and you you forgive a whole lot when 776 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 3: you win and bring you know, he's our champion. Lives 777 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 3: are yeah, life. John Daniels has thought up differently. You know. 778 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 3: By the time when John, when John left here, man, 779 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 3: people were frustrated and they were mad. You put a 780 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 3: championship on it. You know, there's you get. You know, 781 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 3: there's a lot of gifting that you get. And you're 782 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 3: able to to to breathe a little bit, which your 783 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 3: guy Ryan Dad Ohio State, he's able to breathe. Mac 784 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 3: Brown went through it down in Texas and when he 785 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 3: finally won it, man, hey, brother, that can breathe. Now 786 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,760 Speaker 3: they're off me and it would have been the first 787 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 3: for the Ranger. So that's the other thing to win. 788 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 3: It's that first one. It's like, but Madonno and Hitchcock 789 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 3: and and Darien Hatchard, all those guys with the stars 790 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 3: have man, I mean those guys are still heroes to 791 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 3: this day. Yeah, those guys feel. I took my kid 792 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 3: to the game Sunday of the Range and there's a big, old, 793 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 3: beautiful mural of Michael Leng and I'm just like, I 794 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 3: hated that guy. He didn't get to have that. And 795 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 3: then I think about d Ware and being on the 796 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 3: field in San Francisco when he won the Super Bowl 797 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 3: with the Broncos and talking to Uncle Wag you away 798 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 3: he was down there too. It's like, man, you know, 799 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 3: you guys weren't able to get that feeling with the Cowboys, 800 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 3: and just how different your life is if you're able 801 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 3: to have that moment in a Cowboy uniform. 802 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: You do that in the Cowboys uniform, it's immortality. 803 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 3: Immortality, it's and I would tell people all the time, 804 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 3: and Drew Pearson hadn't played and caught a past his 805 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 3: eighty three and looked at how he's revered and thought 806 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 3: of in this town, Like that's that's what winning. Winning 807 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,919 Speaker 3: in the town. It's like, you know, Albert Pool Holds 808 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 3: in Saint Louis. He left ten year deal, but he's 809 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 3: still that guy in Saint Louis because it's the Cardinals. 810 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 3: It's winning a championship in LA. If you're a Laker, 811 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 3: I mean, it just means more in a certain place, 812 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 3: being a champion with the New York Yankees. And yeah, 813 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 3: if you're a cowboy player and you're able to win 814 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 3: a championships, a whole different deal. 815 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 4: I mean, Charles Haley, he was barely here when you 816 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 4: factor in everybody else that was on those teams and 817 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 4: how long that they stayed on this team Charles Haley was. 818 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 4: He was here for a blink, but he won championships. 819 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: But the thing about Charles is he was that final 820 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 3: like he was he was like boom, that guy they 821 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:34,439 Speaker 3: needed him. And and so while he wasn't here quote 822 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 3: unquote that long, everybody knew the importance of what he 823 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 3: brought to that defense. And especially in Super Bowl twenty 824 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 3: seven when they get the punt blocked and they're down 825 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 3: in the game and they helped turn things around. It's 826 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 3: a great NFL Films clip where he says, hey, guys, 827 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 3: let's not get excited, Butcher's over here. Trying to help 828 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 3: us out to the line coach Butch Davis at the time, 829 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 3: and the Cowboys steadied themselves and then went on a 830 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 3: second quarter incredible run and win that game against the 831 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 3: Bills fifty two a deem the youngest team in the league, 832 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 3: but they had the number one defense they have, But 833 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 3: Charles was such a huge part of that. They needed 834 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 3: that guy to get it done. And sometimes you're able 835 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 3: to make the proper trade for a veteran to get 836 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 3: it done. He comes from San Francisco with two Super 837 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 3: Bowl rings, like when San Francisco originally brought in Fred 838 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 3: Dean from the Chargers and he helped them win there 839 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 3: for a Super Bowl. Sometimes you get guys that but 840 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 3: we need you to help us get here and it 841 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 3: works out great, and and you're a legend for him 842 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 3: Dion going to San Francisco. They needed Dean to finally 843 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 3: help them get through and come with a swagger and 844 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 3: do these things like that. So yeah, holding the stats. 845 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 4: So Jack Sanborne will be that be that guy. George Pickens. Honestly, 846 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 4: I can see Pickens being that final piece of the offense. 847 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: But that defense needs help. Okay, what's the uh? I 848 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: was talking about this, What's what's the what's the bigger 849 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: issue on defense? And stop the run? Who's going to 850 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: play corner? 851 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 3: Stop the run? 852 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 4: Stop the run is the biggest thing. I mean, the 853 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 4: spine of that defense is so unreliable, and it's been 854 00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 4: that way for five years. 855 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 3: I always go back to what Hall of Famer Warren 856 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 3: Sap said, back don't work without the front. And you know, 857 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 3: you just think about all your your great defenses, you know, 858 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 3: the the Steel Curtain, Doomsday, Purple people leaders. It was 859 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 3: about what was up front. And you can mask some 860 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 3: things of people in the back, but you know, I 861 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 3: don't I don't care how good you. I mean, you know, 862 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 3: if you're Deon Sanders, if nobody's getting at the quarterback, 863 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be hard. It'd be hard to 864 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 3: cover somebody for so long. I mean, you know they're 865 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 3: gonna get loose. So it's up front. And I think 866 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 3: about the five Super Bowl championship teams that the Cowboys 867 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 3: have had here. All of those teams had fantastic D 868 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 3: linemen and had Hall of famers on the D line, 869 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 3: you know, from Bob Lily to Randy White toward Charles Hey. 870 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 3: They had guys up front and right now, it's a problem. 871 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 3: And when you're counting on Massie Smith right now, I 872 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 3: would not have a lot of confidence there because, as 873 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 3: Bill Parcels you say, all I go by is what 874 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 3: I see right now. I'm not seeing a run stopper there. 875 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 3: Maybe you're a guy from UCLA J T. Can can 876 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 3: can get it done. But I'm concerned. And right out 877 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 3: of the gate, here's Saquon Barkley. 878 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 4: If you could pick one player on this team to 879 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 4: have a Pro Bowl season, like okay, that that's gonna 880 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 4: be the guy, it's Mozzie Smith. I can hear an 881 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 4: argument for somebody else, but I really don't think there's 882 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 4: a strong one. 883 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 3: One text make Pro Bowls these days? 884 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you do make a Pro Bowl as 885 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 4: a one sec it means you were a game wrecker. 886 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 4: It means it means you really didn't make some say 887 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 4: what yeah is like my, my, I guess the gauge 888 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 4: of good because there's like six of them that make 889 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 4: it these days. 890 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 3: How much you just become dependable, you know. 891 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 4: Give me a dependable Mazie Smith. 892 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 3: That's that's that's really the that's the bar at this point, 893 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 3: Hey make you just be dependable and a guy they 894 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 3: can count on here and you know, and and and 895 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 3: even go back to do you care? That's that's that's 896 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 3: a question right now. Sometimes you wonder about how much 897 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 3: do you care? 898 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 1: Man? 899 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 3: How much does this mean to you? You know? Once again, 900 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 3: Jack and I were around for the old days, man, 901 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 3: And I know it was saying to wide and think 902 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 3: about the old days and the old days, but you 903 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 3: knew dudes who cared, they had got that was that 904 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 3: was a prerequisite around. You had to care, and if 905 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 3: you didn't, you won't gonna be around. 906 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: Your teammates would hold you accountable for care. 907 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 3: Not the last dance reference with bj Armstrong said Michael 908 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 3: was hard to be around if you didn't care about basketing. Basically, 909 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 3: he was gonna run you off. 910 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like Mike, and that's like Troy if 911 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: DJ Mike for sure. Yeah, you don't tell me. 912 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 3: Uh, you know, it had to mean something to you, 913 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 3: because it meant something to them. They had what was it? 914 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: Somebody was telling me a story a few weeks ago. Uh, 915 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 1: he was a rookie and he was walking. Uh it 916 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: was ninety four rookie class and a couple of them 917 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,240 Speaker 1: walked in the locker room for the first time. Mike's 918 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: in there half naked as usual. Guy said, just some 919 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: tights and some shoes. And somebody said they Mike, those 920 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: those those guys are part of the rookie class. And 921 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: they walked over there and stuck their hand out to 922 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: shake it. It might say, I don't give a bliep 923 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: about your handshake. How you're gonna help us win? And 924 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: this is coming off of back back Super Bowls. M 925 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: That's what it was about, how you're gonna help us win. 926 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 3: It was a stand out of here there was a standard, 927 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,280 Speaker 3: was a standard. 928 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: Trying to get it back. 929 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 3: Shot. He's gonna try and get it back. He's talked about. 930 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 4: He's created a culture. Does the culture create the standard? 931 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 4: That's something we figure out at training camp, throughout the 932 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 4: season and his first year. 933 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,720 Speaker 3: In a conversation will have later on. There's the culture. 934 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 3: But more important than the culture, you gotta figure what's 935 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 3: your climate. It's enough. That's a deeper conversation, deeper level right. 936 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: There, and culture, I mean none without players. 937 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 3: Climate matters. 938 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 8: Well. 939 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,720 Speaker 3: Bellichick won his first Super Bowl with guys that couldn't 940 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 3: have been. On his third Super Bowl winning team, So 941 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 3: you can, you can you have a couple of piece 942 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 3: this thing together a little bit. John Wooden's FIRS team 943 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 3: was a bunch of dudes. It was all six foot 944 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 3: four by the time, you know, he was winning six 945 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 3: and seven. You know them the kind of dudes wouldn't 946 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 3: have been able to play for him. So it all depends. 947 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 3: Nick Hares, thank you, Thank Doc Taylor, Thank you Chris Beam, 948 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 3: our producer, and Joshi back there.
