00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: with us always. And as I said, and I told

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: him when he sat down, especially tonight, thank you. I

41
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: know it's not after a game like that, and there's

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: games like that and after that, the number one thing.

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: You want to run out and do is.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: Go sit in front of an audience, right, yeah.

45
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: But so thank you, thank you for your patience.

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: So in case folks don't know, let's start with the news.

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys made two trades today. They acquired Logan Wilson, a

48
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: linebacker from Cincinnati, for a seventh round draft choice. And

49
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: I just met Logan Wilson. He's a very nice young man.

50
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Seems somewhat intense, but very friendly.

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: We need that.

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: Do you remember him, Tyler from playing against him? Have

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: you played him?

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 8: I mean there's a solid squad. Obviously last year they

55
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 8: did get the win over us, but I mean he's

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 8: a solid guy. Seems like he's a smart player. A

57
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 8: lot of guys in the locker room set I respect him,

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 8: So I think it'll be a solid addition.

59
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 5: That's all you need.

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: And then the bigger I guess was a bigger trade

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: because more was involved. But the Cowboys made a trade

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: with the Jets and acquired All Pro defensive tackle Quinn

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Williams today, And they gave up their number one draft choice,

64
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: not the Packers number one draft choice, their number one

65
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: draft choice next year, not in twenty six, but in

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven, and their second round draft choice this year

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: this coming year twenty six and Mazzie Smith. He was

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: going to the Jets, and so.

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: Did you. You must have butted heads with Quinn a

70
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: little bit, did you.

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 9: I actually have not.

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: Oh you missed that game?

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I haven't played.

74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: That was the one game this year you missed.

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 5: Well, you watch the tape.

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I watch the tape. I mean he's a he's

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 8: a great dtackle. I mean he has a lot of

78
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 8: respect around the league, and his body of work speaks

79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 8: for himself. So I mean, obviously that's a big trade.

80
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 8: Obviously I wish all the well from Ossie as well.

81
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 8: I hope he gets a fresh start in New York.

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 8: You know, he's able to strength some nice things together

83
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 8: because he is a talented guy. So yeah, I think

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 8: he's a good addition.

85
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: I talked to Ohso Diggy Zoo about this a little

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: bit this afternoon, since he's, uh, you know, one of

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: the defensive captains and a guy who's affected.

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: On that side of the ball.

89
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: But from your perspective, when there is a chemistry shake

90
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: up like this in the locker room and and things

91
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: have not been going exactly the way you all had

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: it planned, Uh, what's what do you think is the

93
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: impact of the deals like this happening.

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's obviously hughes just to flesh

95
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 8: out our team in terms of positions that we're in

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 8: need of, but I mean in terms of chemistry, I

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 8: feel like it's always easy with us. I mean, guys

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 8: come in. I think Shoty is a great coach. I

99
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 8: think you know, our program and our vision is in

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 8: a great spot still despite where we're at in terms

101
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 8: of the culture that we're building. So I think it

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 8: will come in, become part of this culture and produce

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 8: like I really do, I think about it. For everybody,

104
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 8: it's just about trusting the process of things and continue

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 8: to come into work every day with the right mindset.

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 4: I like the word they use. Vision. It's clear that

107
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: Shoddy doesn't have a problem with or has proven that

108
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 4: he's brought in the right guys to fit this culture.

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: But when you talk about the vision that you guys

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: have moving forward, specifically heading into this bye week, what

111
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 4: is that?

112
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 8: I think it's accountability. I think that's the biggest thing

113
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 8: for us last night, At various points this season, I think,

114
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 8: you know, we just had to perform well in some

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 8: situations that you know, I know that we could perform well,

116
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 8: and it's just a matter of honding on the details

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 8: and then you know, being accountable of better in those

118
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 8: things in practice, you know, in terms of our study.

119
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 8: And so I think think going into this bye week,

120
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 8: gods should definitely kind of get their mind off of

121
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 8: football so they can recharge. But you know, when they

122
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 8: come in, let's just be accountable to one another. Is Ultimately,

123
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 8: it's going to take every man on the team to

124
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 8: win a championship and continue to build the culture we're

125
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 8: trying to build. So I mean that's the most important thing.

126
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: Do you feel like the bye week came in a

127
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: pretty good time?

128
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, I think I think it's pretty I mean,

129
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 8: week nine, it's evenly spaced out, so I think it's

130
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 8: in a nice spot. It should do the guys really good.

131
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Does your body need to buy more or your brain?

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 8: I think it's equal. I mean, you have to rest

133
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 8: in my mind, like you have to rest some body.

134
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 8: And so I think it's just about you know, spending

135
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 8: time with your fan. You know, obviously, you know, being

136
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 8: grateful for the things in your life that maybe you

137
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 8: don't have as much time for when you're in the

138
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 8: grind of football and so just doing that, and you know,

139
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 8: when we come back having that mindset that you know,

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 8: ultimately we need to go, we need to go.

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: You just said a minute ago that guys you need

142
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: to use the by to get their minds off football

143
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: and get recharged. How possible is that, especially when the

144
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: last game you played, let alone, the first half of

145
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: the season has been a little frustrating.

146
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 8: I mean, I think it'll be hard for everybody.

147
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 9: I mean, everybody wants to win in that locker room,

148
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 9: and so obviously.

149
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 8: You know it'll be difficult, but I think it is

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 8: important obviously to use this week to get your body

151
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 8: back and ultimately rest your mind because things are tumultuous.

152
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 8: You know, the season is a grind no matter how

153
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 8: it turns out, whether you're you know you're undefeated or

154
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 8: you are where you are. And so I think, you know,

155
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 8: getting your body and your mind back is just you know,

156
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 8: conducing to having the best season that you could possibly

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 8: have when we come back. And so it's gonna be

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 8: hard for guys, but you know, figure it out, professionals.

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: So how do you how do you kind of stay

160
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: so like not I wouldn't say cool, collected, but like

161
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: level headed, when you're battling having to go through a

162
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: season like this.

163
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 8: It's kind of range. But we have a mental conditioning

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 8: coach named Chad. He does work with the New York Yankees,

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 8: and a big part of our you know, our program

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 8: was having that neutral mindset when it comes to things

167
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 8: and just you know, focusing on what you can ultimately control.

168
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 8: And I know every day I can control my attitude

169
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 8: and effort towards all the things that I want to

170
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 8: get better at. And I think it's it's the same

171
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 8: for each one of the guys in the locker room.

172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 8: And you know, there are some things that happen in

173
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 8: games that you know, plays you want back in things

174
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 8: of that nature. But I think the most important thing

175
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 8: is just to remain calm, you know, trust the process

176
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 8: of things where it's ultimately got you here, and just

177
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 8: to get better, I mean, and be neutral about it.

178
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 8: You know, you can have those moments where you know,

179
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 8: you get high, you get love, but you have to

180
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 8: limit it. And so I think, you know, just staying

181
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 8: neutral and staying calm and focus on control this is

182
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 8: the most important thing. And that's in you know, every aspect,

183
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 8: not necessarily just football.

184
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Last night was one of the games where some of

185
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the frustration came on your side of the ball. That

186
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: has not happened very much this year, but it did

187
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: happen last night.

188
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: It happened a little bit the way before.

189
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: Do you get the sense that people are figuring out

190
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: what you're doing a little bit by having half a

191
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: season of tape to watch or is it a matter

192
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: of Uh, that's something that as an offense, you guys

193
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: can overcome, doesn't matter what they do.

194
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 8: I think it's I think it's something we're accountable for.

195
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 9: It's offense.

196
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 8: And I can speak from just being inside of it

197
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 8: and just seeing the film this morning, like we just

198
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 8: didn't dominate some situations we should have dominated. We didn't.

199
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 8: You know, we didn't pick up some looks that you

200
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 8: know we practice and we know we can pick up.

201
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 8: And when you're beating yourself and the other football team

202
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 8: is trying to beat you as well, it's difficult to

203
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 8: win games in that situation. Only we came out early,

204
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 8: we got to the nine yard line, then we took

205
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 8: a loss of two and then you know we kind

206
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 8: of that that drive didn't pan out, and like we

207
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 8: didn't get points off that drive. So It's just like

208
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 8: you have to take advantage of all your opportunities, especially

209
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 8: with the margin and air to win these football games

210
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 8: extremely minimal. So I think it's a matter of us,

211
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 8: you know, being accountable the situation, have to dominate it.

212
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 8: Even if you know a team, you know, we're not

213
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 8: doing well and we getting a situation where we have

214
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 8: to pass the ball a lot, we still have to like,

215
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 8: you know, dominate that. I mean in order to win

216
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 8: the big one, Like we're going to have a game

217
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 8: where ultimately is going to come down in situations like that.

218
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 8: And so you know, obviously I think, you know, it

219
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 8: starts with me in terms of me getting better and

220
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 8: just making sure that you know, I'm doing all that

221
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 8: I can do, you know, to do my one eleven

222
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 8: and then also you know, trying to help those around me,

223
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 8: you know, get to where they need to go because

224
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 8: you know, in difficult times, everybody needs somebody to lean on,

225
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 8: and for this team, you know, each of us has

226
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 8: to be that to each other.

227
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 4: So one thing that Clean Adams had talked about last

228
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: week was the communication. Some of the best groups that

229
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: he's been around are offenses he's been around, has been

230
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: where a quarterback can go in the huddle, call to play.

231
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: Guys know where to line up, Guys know that what

232
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: routes are run. Offensive linemen know where to block things

233
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 4: like that. Where do you feel like you guys are

234
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: in that aspect?

235
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 8: I think we're still maturing in that aspect a lot.

236
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 8: Communication always starts inside out. So even me like doing

237
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 8: my part, you know, like making sure I'm making my call,

238
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 8: and then like, even though it may not necessarily be

239
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 8: a responsibility, like you know, knowing what the guy next

240
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 8: to me needs to do, or like knowing what you

241
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 8: know a defensive front or defensive packages set up, and

242
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 8: how our blocking schemes ultimately impact that. And I feel like,

243
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 8: you know, there's disconnect at some points on the ball,

244
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 8: and like in some situations there's a lot of nuance,

245
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 8: Like if you're going hurry up, things might be sloppier,

246
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 8: especially if you're trying to run looks that you know

247
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 8: have nuance to them and like different read keys and

248
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 8: stuff like that. And so that's just something we have

249
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 8: to dominate as a team. And I feel like, you know,

250
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 8: we are a younger squad just looking at the numbers, like,

251
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 8: but I feel like we can still be better there,

252
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 8: like We've made a lot of strides, like I met

253
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 8: like and it's there's been strides throughout the year, but

254
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 8: just being ultimately consistent with it is what's gonna win

255
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 8: us games. What there we are.

256
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna apologize to the audience in advance because Tyler

257
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Smith has just gone right into my favorite wheelhouse about

258
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: the nuances that was your and I love that word,

259
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: the nuances of offensive line play.

260
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: I think I might be more.

261
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Fascinated by that than anything in the sport, with apologies

262
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks.

263
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 5: I just love that stuff.

264
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: So we're going to take our first break and then

265
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about that and in that downtime

266
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: that Tyler mentioned, I'm fascinated.

267
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,959

268

290
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: remember when you were a rookie and we had you

291
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: on this show. You've been very generous with your time

292
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: through the years. We usually have you on every year,

293
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: and you always have seemed to me to be prepared

294
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: to grasp the moment, whatever the moment is.

295
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: Now you now you're.

296
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: A decorated veteran, how does that feel different at this stage.

297
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 9: Of your career?

298
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 8: I mean, when I think about it just from the

299
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 8: start everything. I just think to this thirty visit I

300
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 8: have with the Dolphins, right, and he asked me, he

301
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 8: was like, what are some of your aspirations like in

302
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 8: the league.

303
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 9: And like things of that nature.

304
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 8: Of course, you're starting with the correct dancwer, which is like,

305
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 8: you know, I gotta win a Super Bowl, like you know,

306
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 8: because that's ultimately what it's all about. And then you're like,

307
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 8: you know, I want to you know, be a Pro

308
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 8: Bowl with this like all proapp and then he said,

309
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 8: like he stopping there, He's like, you know, wait, like

310
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 8: wait a second, like just think about what you can control,

311
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 8: like you know, each and every day to kind of

312
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 8: put you towards those goals instead of thinking about like

313
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 8: those goals it is like the end goal right.

314
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: Now, I'm sorry, who was the he that you were

315
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: talking was the head coach or the person he.

316
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 8: Was the head of He was the player? Uh personnel?

317
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 8: A player personnel? Jeff Ireland wasn't it might have been?

318
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 8: It might have been. It was like a light skinned guy.

319
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 8: I'm bad.

320
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 9: Okay, that's right.

321
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 5: I bet he remembers yours.

322
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: But anyway, yes, yeah, yeah, So he said, how about

323
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: what you can control.

324
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 9: He's like, control the controllables.

325
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 8: And that's something you know, I've just carried with me

326
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 8: like into the league, like and that's been something I

327
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 8: think I've carried throughout my whole football career, really just

328
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 8: controlling what I can control, and you know, trying to maximize,

329
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 8: you know, every opportunity that I get, This opportunity to

330
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 8: take care of my body, you know when we're working out,

331
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 8: you know, opportunity to train my body, and like, you know,

332
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 8: taking control of those reps because you only get so many.

333
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 8: And so I think just doing that, you know, that's

334
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 8: led to a lot of success from me. It's just

335
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 8: about continuing to get better.

336
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that concept of just don't worry about making

337
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: all pro worry about what you can control today, that

338
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: was a new concept when you heard that from him.

339
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 8: I mean yeah, in terms you know, obviously when you're

340
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 8: young or younger, I should.

341
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: Say, yes, you're young. He's twenty four years old, folks, Okay.

342
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 8: But like, you know, you're ambitious, and you should always

343
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 8: be ambitious, but you know when you don't, like imagine

344
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 8: you know that first year, like that first year I

345
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 8: didn't get any super letters. What if I was just

346
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 8: like man, like, you know, you know, I've just gotten

347
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 8: to tank about that, and I was just really messed

348
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 8: up about it, Like, you know, then I wouldn't be

349
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 8: able to focus on the process of things. So that's

350
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 8: something I definitely, you know, carry with me, and it

351
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 8: just helped me get better. It helped me take those leaps,

352
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 8: you know, and I would switching positions when I was

353
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 8: switching from you know, guard to tackle, like one game

354
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 8: after the next, like just you know, embracing that challenge

355
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 8: and just focus on everything that I control to put

356
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 8: me in the best position to win.

357
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: Is it funny being there? I think we had this

358
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: conversation in auction ard, but is it?

359
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: Is it kind of.

360
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: Odd looking around and at twenty four you're like the

361
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: You're the senior guy, and you've got to be you

362
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: got to be the leader now that Zach retired.

363
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 5: Did you see Zach last night?

364
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 9: By the way, I did see Zach Man.

365
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 5: What's left of him?

366
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 9: Yeah? What's left of him? You know, I don't know.

367
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Zack Martin was at the game, and I don't know.

368
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: He looked at me like, you lost about forty pounds,

369
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: fifty pounds something like that, said he just quit lifting

370
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: and started.

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: Eating different now that he left.

372
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: Do you I mean, have you felt throughout the year

373
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: that I have to be the example for these boys?

374
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 9: I definitely have.

375
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 8: And it's something that you know, I think it's a

376
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 8: challenge every day and you have to, you know, challenge

377
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 8: the way.

378
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 9: That you lead every day.

379
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 8: And I think what makes it easier for us is, like,

380
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 8: you know, our room is just full of you know,

381
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 8: fine Thoroughbreds is one of our our coaches say, like

382
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 8: everybody can really play a high level of ball, and

383
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 8: everyone's like, you know, focused on getting everybody better.

384
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 9: It's not just like it's me versus him thing.

385
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 8: It's like okay, like hey, bro, put your hands like this,

386
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 8: like maybe try you know, taking this step, and like

387
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 8: so we can be the best room we can be

388
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 8: like and I think, you know, in doing that, like

389
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 8: that's that's pushed us to be better in practice, like

390
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 8: you know, we push each other to be better. And

391
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 8: so I think it's just a matter of a you know,

392
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 8: continue to mature along with everybody else. But obviously you know,

393
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 8: understanding the man next to you and what makes him

394
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 8: take like what brings out the best in him?

395
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 4: Help fulfiling is it for you now that you've kind

396
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 4: of taken on that leadership role that Zach and Tyron

397
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 4: kind of took for you. So help ful feeling is

398
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: that for you?

399
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 8: I mean it's super cool to me. And I think

400
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 8: the best thing is like it's not something you know,

401
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 8: I have to do along, And I think what's great

402
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 8: about that is like we have so many leaders in

403
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 8: our room, Like we have guys who are you know,

404
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 8: ready to ready to step up and you know, take

405
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 8: advantage of their mom when the time comes, Like, you know,

406
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 8: I think about Brock, you know, I think about now,

407
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 8: I think about Terrence, you know, I think about you know,

408
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 8: like Cooper Bebe like people like that bro Like and

409
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 8: you know, even though they're not having been here as

410
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 8: many years as me, Like, I think we do a

411
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 8: good job of, you know, being accountable to one another

412
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 8: and ultimately like knowing that you know, we all represent

413
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 8: the standard of this room like any given point in time.

414
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of Rock Hoffman for those of you who don't

415
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: know who, he was here a couple of weeks ago

416
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: and we knew Cooper Bebe was coming back off I

417
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: R I asked him if there would be a cage

418
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: match between them, to see who got the position.

419
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 5: No, no cage match, olthough he would have gone for

420
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 5: it if they'd offered it to him, wouldn't. Yeah, he'd

421
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 5: have gone for it.

422
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 9: Heightly dirty though, or he can't can't play out.

423
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: That he No, that's exactly right, but he Now I'm

424
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: transitioning to what you have mentioned a couple of times

425
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: about how you use the buy take care of your body,

426
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: take care of your mind. So one thing we asked,

427
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: Nicole does not remember this part of the conversation, because

428
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: she just shot me a side.

429
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: Eye that.

430
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 5: I could have known that look, said, what are you

431
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 5: talking about?

432
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't remember this.

433
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 5: I was almost wounded.

434
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: By that side he talked about. I had seen an

435
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: Instagram post of his where he talked about how he

436
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: ate in college, what his normal meal consumption would be

437
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: when he was at Virginia Tech, and it was so

438
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: much fried and you know, it was Panda Express times

439
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: two for lunch and then something three other things for dinner.

440
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: And it was like that way every did chicken and waffles.

441
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: And then he said, Okay, now I can't do that anymore.

442
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of brown rice and grilled fish

443
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. So when you came from Tulsa,

444
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: what did you think taking care of your body meant

445
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: and how has that meaning changed for you.

446
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 9: So I came from Tulsa.

447
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 8: I was actually in a really good spot in terms

448
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 8: of like taking care of my body because our training

449
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 8: staff at Tulsa was really good to me, Like I

450
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 8: had a great relationship with them. And then obviously in college,

451
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 8: you know, you kind of you pick your schedule, especially

452
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 8: with COVID, like I didn't have to go to class,

453
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 8: I could be in there all the time. And so

454
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 8: when I came to the Cowboys, I knew the most

455
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 8: important thing for me was find of like somebody in

456
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 8: my area that could like get me modalities like you know,

457
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 8: stem like dry needling, you know, soft tissue stuff like that.

458
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 8: And so that's kind of still been my process as

459
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 8: being here. Like obviously I do a little bit more stuff,

460
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 8: like you know, I have like massage therapists that like

461
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 8: specialize in like deep tissue and like things like that,

462
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 8: and then you know guys who kind of like have

463
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 8: their own treatment methods, and so I think the most

464
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 8: important thing is getting all the information you know from

465
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 8: veterans around me, Like I use I use one of

466
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 8: the guys that I worked with for a long time,

467
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 8: and even Tyron just and work with them and a

468
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 8: lot of the other guys, so I got a lot

469
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 8: of info from them and then just being consistent with

470
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 8: that I knew ultimately, Like the NFL schedule is very different.

471
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 9: I'll say that. Like in college, like there are some

472
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 9: gaps in that day like where you.

473
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 8: Can kind of you know, you can get out and

474
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 8: do you but like in the NFL, like you're you're

475
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 8: really there from like seven am to like five o'clock,

476
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 8: six o'clock, so like definitely just taking advantage of those

477
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 8: days where you get out a little early, taking advantage

478
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 8: of those off days, and like sometimes they can be

479
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 8: arduous for sure, but like yeah, I mean the margin

480
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 8: to win is like that much. So I think it's

481
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 8: just about like understanding that and like you know, bringing

482
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 8: guys into that because everybody doesn't do it, like you said,

483
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 8: like especially when you're young, like younger guys that come

484
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 8: in like twenty one, like like he's like whatever, like

485
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 8: but eventually, like they start playing against other dudes's talented

486
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 8: as they are, and they're like come to understand like okay,

487
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 8: like it's inflammation.

488
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: It's real, so like not that, but another factor for

489
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: you could have been And I hope folks know Tyler's

490
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: a fort Worth boy.

491
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 5: So you were coming home, yeah.

492
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: And uh, that can mean that there might be some

493
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: home cooking that was going to be available to you

494
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: more frequently than was the case when you were away

495
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: at school, and that might not play into your nutritional

496
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: plan all the time. And by the smile on your face,

497
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm guessing maybe there was a little I'm partly right

498
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: about that.

499
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 9: I wish no.

500
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 8: Now my mom she's an empty nestress to me and

501
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 8: my brother, only two years apart. So like when I

502
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 8: came back, like she hadn't been cooking for a while.

503
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 8: But she does bring like a lot of groceries to

504
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 8: the house, Like I have to, you know, tell her

505
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 8: the doll back because you know, when you were a kid,

506
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 8: like you can have a box of chips.

507
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 5: How does that work out? Telling mom the dial of back?

508
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I'll be out going to tell

509
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 8: her because I'm like Mom, like you know, I'm trying

510
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 8: to hear to this diet, and like you bring these

511
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 8: you know, these giant Sam's packs, like fifty.

512
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 9: Packs here and like can get difficult.

513
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 8: So definitely that was a factor. But my dogs eat

514
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 8: really well. She cooks, she cooks on my dog, So.

515
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: You dogs, like specifically, don't you mess with this.

516
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 5: This is for the dogs.

517
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like she comes to shell.

518
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 8: Uh, she'll like boiled ten pounds of chicken, like ten

519
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 8: pounds of like straight like uh boneless breast. Uh.

520
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 9: Like I'll feed them with that because like they have

521
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 9: bigger die.

522
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 5: How many dogs too? And they are what breed.

523
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 9: They're press the Canarios, so they're.

524
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 5: Not familiar, please explain more.

525
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 8: So they're like like from the Canary Islands basically like

526
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 8: where their breed comes from. And like they're pretty big.

527
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 8: I got my first one from New York and he's

528
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 8: like pure bread. So he's like probably like one fifty,

529
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 8: Like he's a big dude, fifty fifty. And then I

530
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 8: got my female from a kennel in Mississippi who did

531
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 8: like a an endorsement deal with me, and like she's

532
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 8: a real deal, Like she's an actual like our dog,

533
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 8: like she really has at dinner and so like, yeah,

534
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 8: they have to they have to eat like very specific

535
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 8: diets and I can't deviate like if they eat like

536
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 8: a cheat o pop or something that throws their stomach

537
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 8: out of whacken, like I have to give them medicine.

538
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 9: So it's like it's a real big deal.

539
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna digress completely because I'm so fascinated by this.

540
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm a dog lover, but I'm not familiar with preusse canarios.

541
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: How did you become familiar with that breed?

542
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 8: So real talk and after reverse this, I wanted a

543
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 8: cane corso, I want a concourse. So I was like

544
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 8: looking around, I can't remember who got me in touch

545
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 8: with the breeder, but like I got in touch with

546
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 8: are I think my agent did, Like he got me

547
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 8: in touch with this breeder. So they were like you

548
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 8: want this dog or whatever, and so I was like, yeah,

549
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 8: like I'll take the dog.

550
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 9: So we just did the deal over the phone, like

551
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 9: I just you know, I sent them the money.

552
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 5: And then you looked at the pictures.

553
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 9: I looked at you, yet I.

554
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 8: Looked at the puppy. Yeah, and the puppy actually like

555
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 8: looked like a cane corso. Like is when their puppies

556
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 8: like you can't really tell and like.

557
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: Or can you hold the littles and if they're big

558
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: little paws then you know what you're dealing with later.

559
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then he showed up and he had a tail,

560
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 8: and so I was like, okay. I was like, that's

561
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 8: not because they're supposed to get their their tails cut

562
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 8: off or snubbed or whatever when they're younger.

563
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 9: And I found out he was impressive.

564
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 8: So that's kind of how I became familiar with them

565
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 8: for real, Like it was on accident completely, But Mike

566
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 8: guy has a couple.

567
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 9: Like I learned that he had a couple, So, yeah,

568
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 9: did you grow up having dogs? I did not know.

569
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 8: And my mom she actually was not an animal person like,

570
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 8: which is kind of funny how much affection she asked

571
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 8: as long as they're even when they're at her house

572
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 8: now like she used to didn't you know, like taking them.

573
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 8: But now I have a female and a male, so

574
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 8: like one of them has to like leave at certain time.

575
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 8: So yeah, she's really good about that well.

576
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: And and I may get myself a little trouble here,

577
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: but moms generally, when Mom's cooked for anyone, if the

578
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: if the entity person canine, if they eat what Mom

579
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: has prepared with some gusto, that's that's real mom in

580
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: love right there.

581
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 8: It is and they're big and they get bigg like

582
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 8: every time they go to her house, they come back bigger.

583
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 9: I'm like, what is going on?

584
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 5: And then she sees them to understand how are my babies?

585
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 8: She's like, y'all feeding them in the because you know,

586
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 8: if she's at their ribs show, like, you know, hon't

587
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 8: anybody call anybody on that? Like mom, Like, the dogs

588
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,480

Speaker 5: They don't know how big they are.

627
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 9: Do they well, they well they probably do.

628
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: But they know how big I am.

629
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 9: It kind of balances out.

630
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 8: I'm like, man, but yeah, they're very playful and like

631
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 8: they're loving. They're really good around my family and friends.

632
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: You know what would be good, Nicole, is if you

633
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: had a dog like that, if you had the right footwear.

634
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 5: Where might you get some of that?

635
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe boots, boots, lou Casey.

636
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 3: We already did that.

637
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: But it's kind.

638
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: We can show love again. It's fine, no.

639
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 5: Problem, completely besided by his dogs.

640
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:23,600

00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 5: To sleep after a Monday night?

651
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 8: Gave it home, man, But I want to sleep about

652
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 8: the same time this time, just because I had to

653
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 8: watch the game, like you had to wait for the

654
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 8: game to get uploaded. But yeah, I got to sleep

655
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 8: on the late man. I'll go home.

656
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 5: So you're twenty four. Yeah, yeah, I left that way

657
00:34:59,239 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 5: behind the log.

658
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: Do you like if it's especially if it's a frustrating game,

659
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: do you want to watch it right now?

660
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, I really do, because I mean, the faster

661
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 8: I'll watch it the faster I can kind of know where,

662
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 8: you know, I need to put my mindset in terms of,

663
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 8: you know, improving or you know, what we need to

664
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 8: do to like, can you know, kind of fix that thing,

665
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 8: especially when it's frustrated. I think you know it sucks

666
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 8: when it is. But if you're not learning, like you know,

667
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 8: from from your mistakes, then you know, what are you doing?

668
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: So so you watched it last night?

669
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 8: I did.

670
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 4: Yes, What was one thing that you took away from

671
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 4: the film? In terms of this offensive line, I.

672
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 8: Think we're physical, Like I think, you know, we may

673
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 8: be the most physical offensive line of the league, just

674
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 8: in terms of like, you know, wanting to like hurt people,

675
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 8: like not like hurt people what I'm saying.

676
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 9: But I think we're physical.

677
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 8: I think it's just about being consistent and I think

678
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 8: winning consistently. I think like we really have to, like

679
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 8: you know, trust our fundamentals and what we practice, but

680
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 8: also trust ourselves to win in those situations like, ultimately,

681
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 8: you know where the players and the team is gonna

682
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 8: go as far as the players go, and I think

683
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 8: we're accountable for everything.

684
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 9: And so I think.

685
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 8: Man like physical just needs to be more consistent on fundamentals.

686
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: How do you build on consistency?

687
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 8: I think it's about doing it every day and being

688
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 8: deliberate about what you do as well. I mean in practice.

689
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 8: I mean you only get so many reps, but like

690
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 8: what reps are you watching? Are you just watching like

691
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 8: you know, are padded practice or are you watching my game?

692
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 9: Are you watching walk through?

693
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 8: And kind of just see how strict you're being on

694
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 8: yourself in terms of, you know, practicing your fundamentals and

695
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 8: what ultimately you're trying to do to win. And so

696
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 8: I think that's kind of part of my mindset when

697
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 8: it comes to that.

698
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to piggyback

699
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: off that you don't get beat very often. Yeah, that's

700
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: why you're all prou But Walter Nolan gave you a

701
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: little trouble last night, and I saw a clip today

702
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 1: of you. You were set, and he seemed to give

703
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: you a good stiff arm, And maybe I don't know

704
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: if you overstepped, but.

705
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 5: He got by you.

706
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: So when you look at that, what are the things

707
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: you take from that about here's what I cannot do

708
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: to keep that from happening again.

709
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 8: I mean, I think about the fundamentals that ultimately I'm

710
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 8: trying to utilize during that rep, and I think about

711
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 8: how strict was I in terms of implementing that, like

712
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 8: on that specific rep, like got called reaching.

713
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 9: And if you're reaching in double clutch.

714
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: So tell these folks who never played offensive line with

715
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: reaching me.

716
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 8: So reaching is where you're basically reaching over your toes

717
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 8: and you're leaning like your feet isn't supporting you, like

718
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 8: you have no true base, like you're not pushable position

719
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 8: of power. And so and getting out of my fundamentals

720
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 8: and thinking too much about trying to get my hand

721
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 8: on somebody. I'm not getting out of my stands and

722
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 8: getting in front of somebody in order to ultimately start

723
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 8: the fight. And I think when I'm getting out of

724
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 8: my stands, I'm getting in front of somebody, that's when

725
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 8: I'm playing the best version of my football, like because

726
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 8: I'm making them go through me like I'm making them

727
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 8: you know, ultimately have to engage me instead of reaching,

728
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 8: you know, giving him an obstacle to go around and

729
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 8: you know, around the corner. So you know, obviously it

730
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 8: does suck when you lose, but like you know, knowing

731
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 8: what you did wrong and ultimately knowing that, you know,

732
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 8: if you don't fix it, like or at least you know,

733
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 8: look for solutions in your play, like, people are gonna

734
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 8: utilize that against you. It's very important to me.

735
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 5: All right.

736
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: So we're getting into these nuances of offensive line play.

737
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: But I do not want to get away from because

738
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: I think it's important and instructive. Uh, when you get

739
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: away from football during a bye week, what how do

740
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: you do that?

741
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 3: And what do you what do you do?

742
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: What do you do to.

743
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: Occupy your mind and your time so you're not thinking

744
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: about football?

745
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 8: I mean for me, it's just kind of getting to

746
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 8: a happy place and for the guys, whether that be

747
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 8: you know, going back home or where they're from. Like

748
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 8: I'm from here, so you know it's kind of my

749
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 8: happy place or whatever.

750
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: But uh, now will you go to Tulsa's game wherever

751
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: they are?

752
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 8: But if they were home, I would have went. But

753
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 8: I'll catch on some other time. But yeah, I think

754
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 8: you know, I mean for me really just kind of

755
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 8: getting better, like I don't know when I'm outside of football,

756
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 8: you know, like video game, like you know, going to shoot,

757
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 8: like hanging out with my friends and things of that nature.

758
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 9: So maybe like hanging out.

759
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 8: With them a little bit, but you know, definitely, you know,

760
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 8: like getting my body right and ultimately, you know, getting

761
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 8: prepared for the task ahead. I know it's about kind

762
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 8: of disconnected from it, and I will in terms of,

763
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 8: you know, I have to watch tape and I don't

764
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 8: have to game plan for anybody this week, but in

765
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 8: terms of, like you know, adhering to that process and

766
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 8: what I know is gonna you know, ultimately bring out

767
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 8: the best of me. Like I'm still gonna do that.

768
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 8: So whether that be you know, taking care of my

769
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 8: body or you know, maybe just doing self scouting myself

770
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 8: kind of watching stuff from the season, Like that's something

771
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 8: I can do me myself, you know, say everybody do it.

772
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: But you know, what will taking care of your body

773
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 4: look like for you this week?

774
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 8: I think a lot of R and R obviously, like

775
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 8: you know, getting work done, whether it be like soft tissue,

776
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 8: whether it be needling, you know, acupuncture, things of that

777
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 8: and just like you know, compounding that like doing something

778
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 8: every day, Like you know, there are lots of approaches

779
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 8: you can do, like the treatment, and like when you

780
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 8: have downtime, it gives it time for a lot of

781
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 8: other stuff to take effect. So I think just utilizing

782
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 8: a holistic approach in terms of that stuff.

783
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: I want to kind of ask you back to what

784
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 4: you were saying about fundamentals. There's Tyler Booker who is

785
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 4: still working on his technique. Talked to him last week.

786
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 4: How difficult or how challenge is challenging is it for you?

787
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 4: You know, considering granted you've been in the league for

788
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 4: a little bit, but you're still twenty four years old

789
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: trying to build on your techniques and fundamental how challenging

790
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 4: is it for you still learning while also taking on

791
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 4: that leadership role and still teaching someone else who just

792
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 4: came into the league.

793
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously, I mean it can be a challenge

794
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 8: for sure, And I think the most important thing is,

795
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 8: you know, just focus on ultimately you know what's going

796
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 8: to you know, help us get better, like together, and

797
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 8: like I've had conversations with him, he's very polished, Like

798
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 8: I mean, I think t book is really polished.

799
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 9: I think he played.

800
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 8: Multiple positions off the line and things of that nature,

801
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 8: and so like I feel like with him it's easy.

802
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 8: It's just a matter of like kind of letting him

803
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 8: into my frame of mind in terms of how I

804
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 8: approach the situation and just tell him to trust his

805
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 8: fundamentals because ultimately, like I think he could dominate, you know,

806
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 8: those looks and I know he can. So you know,

807
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 8: for me, it's about also getting better as well, you know,

808
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 8: kind of minding the things that I have to do

809
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 8: to get better, but also like you know, when he

810
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 8: has a question or I know a situation may arise

811
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 8: for him in a situation that I know I may

812
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 8: have you know, struggled with in the past, or like

813
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 8: I've been countered in the past, trying to put him

814
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 8: in the best space to dominate. Like, you know, we

815
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 8: had a lot of situations like that in game where

816
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 8: you know, there were things other weeks that kind of

817
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 8: like you know, may have caught him, but then like

818
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 8: we have a conversation about it and kind of how

819
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 8: to correct it, and like he's quick at you know,

820
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 8: he's quick at picking it up and not making the

821
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 8: same mistake twice.

822
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: Okay, we are really getting close to the nuances of

823
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: offensive line play.

824
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 5: Nicole's on the edge of her seat.

825
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 3: You can't wait for that.

826
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: I can't I can't wait for that. We're gonna take

827
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: our last break. We are at Sidecars Social the Star District.

828
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: Can let's go on the middle of like Cowboys Hour

00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: with our very special guest, Tyler Smith, and we'll be

830
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: right back.

Speaker 11: Okay, No cowboys, no cowboys, No Cowboys.

832
00:44:33,640 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 10: Tas to the miller.

833
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 2: Like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.

834
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: Back at Sidecar Social in the Star District in Frisco

835
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: on the middle Like Cowboys Hour on Brad Sham with

836
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: Nicole Hutchinson. Wow, Tyler Smith, our very special guest. We

837
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: will start taking some questions from the audience in a

838
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, but we're just talking about the thing.

839
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: I just think that the things that you guys have

840
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: to see from the beginning of the play, people have

841
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: no idea. It's just it blows my mind. So why

842
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: don't you take us through. You're in the huddle, Dak's

843
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: getting the play, he calls the play. So what things

844
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: do you hear that tell you what to look for

845
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: when you break the huddle and what happens. Then by

846
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: the time you get out there before the ball is

847
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: snapped and we're talking about two or three seconds.

848
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 8: So I think, first of all, it does all start

849
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 8: with the call, Like I'll hear numbers and I'll hear

850
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 8: certain code words that mean something to me, And so

851
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 8: when I go up to the line, I know where

852
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 8: to put my you know, I know where to focus

853
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 8: my attention, so to speak, without giving away any tells.

854
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 8: And then like from then on, I communicate, like I

855
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 8: communicate to the person to my left and my right

856
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 8: kind of like what I plan on doing, and like

857
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 8: that's kind of like a mental check.

858
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 5: Like is that a verbal communication or verbal?

859
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, verbal, but it's also like I'm like, hey, bro,

860
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 8: like so and so that is what I'm about to do,

861
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 8: like and then like, you know, there might be a

862
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 8: kill attached, So I have to also know what play

863
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 8: we're going to if you know we're not in the

864
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 8: right look and you know, part of knowing like when

865
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 8: you're going to that play is kind of you know,

866
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 8: understanding you know what the kills are, and like you

867
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 8: know the formation and like kind of how certain front

868
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 8: should look when you have certain pieces on certain sides.

869
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 8: So like in a matter of all that time, like

870
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 8: you know, I hear the number here, the words go up,

871
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 8: let's place my attention, communicate and go from there.

872
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 4: The communication is not always verbal because on the road

873
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 4: sometimes it has to be obviously selling count right, So

874
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 4: what's the challenge there and obviously not having to be verbal.

875
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 8: You can't really be verbal, I mean, whatever we do,

876
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 8: try to try to be as decisive as possible, Like

877
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 8: even if I have to point something out like and

878
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 8: they obviously know, Like at that point, it's just like

879
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 8: we just have to win there, like and they know

880
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 8: we have to win and they have to win. So

881
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 8: I think as long as everybody's on the same page,

882
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 8: you know, regardless how obvious the communication is or like

883
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 8: you know, whatever the case may be, like, it just

884
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 8: gives us the best chance to be successful.

885
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: So you come to the line of scrimmage, and now

886
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: the defense while Dak is in the couple of seconds

887
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: that he's looking at where they are include.

888
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 5: Both protection and coverage.

889
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: Now they shift, they do something else, and so now

890
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: what the protection at the very least that he just called,

891
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: that's not it anymore? Is this something that he always

892
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: communicates verbally or are there things that just when you

893
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: see somebody move something like that, then you you know.

894
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 5: Oh, that's this is different. This is not this, it's that.

895
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 9: I mean.

896
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like you'll practice certain looks, so to speak, like

897
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 8: certain placements of the defenders and how an ideal world

898
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 8: they should be. But ultimately you have to have a

899
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 8: little bit of knowledge, you know, in terms of the

900
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 8: nuance so to speak, of the play, and know that

901
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 8: on the fly, you know, things can change, and like

902
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 8: you know, if somebody's position change, you have to make

903
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 8: a different call. Like you just have to be confident

904
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 8: with it and make sure that you communicate that. But yeah,

905
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 8: we do practice certain.

906
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 9: Looks and like to knowing situations what to doing that.

907
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: And so what happens when they now the ball is

908
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: snapped and let's say they give you a stunt a

909
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: game that you hadn't seen before. So the guy you

910
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: when you when you got down in your stands, the

911
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: guy you thought you were blocking, you ain't blocking that

912
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: guy no more.

913
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 5: That's that's somebody else's guy.

914
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: And and is some of that nonverbal, like do you

915
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: can you like look at the tackle or the center

916
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: and say, okay, we're doing something different.

917
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 8: Oh, so sometimes there are visual cues that you can

918
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 8: kind of look at preplay, but if you're seeing a

919
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 8: movement key, like you need to speak, like because nobody,

920
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 8: not everybody can see what's going on. Like there's a

921
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 8: movement key all the way on the right side, and

922
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 8: like the right tackles like telling me something or telling

923
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 8: the line something. I can't see that, and so like

924
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 8: can you hear it? I can hear when he says

925
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 8: it as long as echo. Like that's why it has

926
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 8: to be echoes, Like if you're in Denver and like

927
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 8: you're in the red zone, like he could be yelling

928
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 8: like with everything he has, and like you you can't

929
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 8: hear him unless the person next to you can hear him.

930
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 4: It's like telephone you got.

931
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 9: It's a telephone, like you got telephone.

932
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 8: Sometimes, but their visual cues, and like it's important to

933
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 8: like turn those visual cues into auditory cues as quick

934
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 8: as possible if you want to pick them up.

935
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 5: So you understand how this is science.

936
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 1: This is not like it looks like you get down

937
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: in your stands and the quarterback calls the snap and

938
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: then all the big guys get up and start hitting

939
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: each other.

940
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 5: That's what it looks like. That's just so much not

941
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 5: what it is. If a play is gonna work?

942
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: Was it high school college when it started to become

943
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: like that scientific thing to you? And then how much

944
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: did it become more sophisticated when you.

945
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 10: Got to this level?

946
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 8: I think to me, like your offense changes like from

947
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 8: from high school to college.

948
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 9: Like in high school, you have a lot of one word.

949
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 8: Plays, but obviously everybody is not, you know, as smart,

950
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 8: so you relied more on like your talent.

951
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 9: Position wise, like if you have one really good receiver

952
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 9: and a.

953
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 8: Really nice running back, like who can be like ninety

954
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 8: five percent of the kids in the district, Like it's

955
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 8: just kind of like you're gonna win games. But when

956
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 8: you get to college and everybody kind of you know,

957
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 8: the talent gets even, so you know, the coordinator has

958
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 8: to be better, like you have to call certain plays

959
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 8: better and stuff like that. And then when you get

960
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 8: to the league, it's all about speed. Like that's that's why,

961
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 8: Like I mean, man, like anybody on any given Sunday

962
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 8: can like you know, have a good or a bad game,

963
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 8: and it really does come down to like details and

964
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 8: stuff like how fast are you getting off the ball consistently,

965
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 8: like how fast do you get into a position of

966
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 8: power like in the wrong game, like your second step,

967
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 8: Like it's all details and so like you really do

968
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 8: come to understand the science of it more because you

969
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 8: depend on the science of the game more, Like you

970
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 8: have to kind of know, like what if you don't

971
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 8: have any idea what's going on, Like everyone's going to

972
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 8: look like they're moving fast to me, you like at

973
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 8: all times, like you won't be able to catch up.

974
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 8: That's why, like I think, you know, some rookie struggle,

975
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 8: like the rookie year is the hardest here, especially offensive line,

976
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 8: because like you know, you have to you have to

977
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 8: understand the offense, Understand what you're supposed to do in

978
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 8: the offense, Understand like you know, criteria that you've.

979
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 9: Never heard before.

980
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 8: Like my rookie year, like I remember like giving up

981
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 8: a sack because I came to the line of scrimmage

982
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 8: and like I'm in my stance waiting on the cadence

983
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 8: and the senator just snapped the ball.

984
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 9: And then like we come back.

985
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 8: And he's like I said so and so, bro, like

986
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 8: that means I'm snapping the ball and I'm like I

987
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 8: didn't know that, Like he's a are you right, like

988
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 8: we that's like a call from last year, but like

989
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 8: I didn't know that, like and so it's just like

990
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 8: egg on my face. So like you got to add

991
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 8: all that to your uh, you know, your toolbox and

992
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 8: stuff and just kind of understand like the nuances of that,

993
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 8: so to speak.

994
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 5: Do we have a question out here? Yeah ahead, Yes, sir.

995
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 9: From Dallas, Tony.

996
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 6: My question is, is there at any point in time

997
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 6: during the game, doing the game, or during practice, did

998
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 6: y'all as an offensive line or you as an offensive

999
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,720
Speaker 6: line and go, hey, guys, let's.

1000
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 9: Run the ball.

1001
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 6: Move we got this guy back here that can run

1002
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 6: pretty good.

1003
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 8: I mean yes, I mean almost all the time. And

1004
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 8: I think you know, one thing that we have to

1005
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 8: understand is like you have to earn the rights to

1006
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 8: run the ball. Like so if like you're in first

1007
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 8: and ten, like you want to continue running the ball,

1008
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 8: like let's get the second and five or like you know,

1009
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 8: second and three, and like it's or you know, let's

1010
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 8: have positive runs and like ultimately, like you have to

1011
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 8: dominate those looks. I want to run the ball all

1012
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 8: the time, really, Like I want to run the ball

1013
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 8: as much as we can, but ultimately, like we have

1014
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 8: to be ready for both, and like, in order to

1015
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 8: do one, we have to be complimentary with the other.

1016
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 5: Zack.

1017
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: I've heard Zack Martin tell the story about how I've

1018
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: heard Jason Garrett tell her two about what Zack yelled

1019
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: at him from the field.

1020
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 10: Let's run the ball.

1021
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, And maybe he just said, you remember the incident?

1022
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 9: Was it? Was it stealer?

1023
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:02,919
Speaker 10: I don't.

1024
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 5: I don't remember, but he could have. It could have been.

1025
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've been that person before, have you? Yeah?

1026
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 8: I have.

1027
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: So if you're if you're trying to do that in

1028
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: a game, if you don't think you're running it enough

1029
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: and you think Javante's really got it going, will you

1030
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: turn over look at Shaddy or Clayton or whoever it is,

1031
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: and say.

1032
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 9: Dude, yeah, I would go up the chain of command.

1033
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 8: I'd be like I would look at my coach and

1034
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 8: I be like, hey, like I really like this, Like.

1035
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 9: Why don't we get back to that?

1036
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 8: Like you know, and so it'll be like okay, like

1037
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 8: and like we we respect each other, Like, ultimately, the

1038
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 8: only way we're gonna win is that we're communicating our thoughts.

1039
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 8: Like because I'm the player, like he's the coach, but

1040
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 8: like you know, I don't the one who's putting the

1041
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 8: plan in action, like me and the ten other guys

1042
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 8: are with me or whatever, So we can have those conversations,

1043
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 8: will be like, yeah, we want to do this, but

1044
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 8: then it's up to us to execute that. Like if

1045
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 8: we if we're asking him to run these plays and

1046
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 8: we're not executing the play, like like, how are we

1047
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 8: supposed to you know, how are we supposed to trust

1048
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 8: us in those situation to run those plays and.

1049
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 5: They will not listen the next time? If that, if

1050
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 5: that becomes the case, Yes, sir.

1051
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 12: Hi Tyler, I am a lot of from Mexico.

1052
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 10: I have a quick question.

1053
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,760
Speaker 12: By far, you are the most experienced offensive line lnemen

1054
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 12: from the Cowboys soul line with the tackles. They were

1055
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 12: struggling a lot yesterday, Like what is your approach or

1056
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 12: what normally do you say in those kinds of games

1057
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 12: to to your teammates.

1058
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 8: I mean, we just got to keep chopping wood, like

1059
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 8: and I didn't have the perfect game yesterday either, And

1060
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 8: I think that's something that you know, as a player,

1061
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 8: you have to go through and understand how to ultimately

1062
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 8: respond like, you have to trust the process of things

1063
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 8: even when things aren't, you know, the way that you

1064
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 8: want them to be.

1065
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 9: Like, our talents, our tackles are talented.

1066
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 8: They played really complete games, like they played very physical

1067
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 8: complete games. Now was yesterday our most complete game? Like?

1068
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 9: No? But like why was that the case? And I

1069
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 9: think it's just a matter.

1070
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 8: Of us attacking that and you know, being solution oriented

1071
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 8: in terms of things that we can do in practice

1072
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 8: and outside of it, you know, in order to be better.

1073
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 8: So that's something you know, I continue to tell my

1074
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 8: teammates and that's something that we ultimately have to do

1075
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 8: to grow together.

1076
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, and we got less than a minute,

1077
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: so go ahead, real quick.

1078
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 10: Right, Nice to meet you.

1079

Speaker 9: Larry from McKinny.

1080
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: Two years ago, I asked you the question about the

1081
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: seven man Olympic flag football team.

1082
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 5: Has your roster changed since then?

1083
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 9: Has my roster changed? No? I haven't been asked this

1084
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 9: question for three years.

1085
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 2: Only by him, only by him.
