I just got enough football in your life. 42 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: It's really weird. Like when I started working here, Like 43 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: I am not a huge football fan. I love the Cowboys, 44 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: I love my job, I love what I do, and 45 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: I love game days. But outside of that, like I 46 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: can take or to leave football, like when I have offtime, 47 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: like if if last thing I want to do is 48 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: go watch more football, like go watch Monday night, but 49 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: now I'll go do it if like everybody's going to 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: do it and it's a social event, but like just 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: hardcore sit down and watch games and analyze them, like 52 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: like I do that sixty six days a week when 53 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: I got to college.

Like I'm more into other things. It kind 61 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: of amazes me, though, that players get into their ratings 62 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: was that a thing when you were egos? I was 63 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: gonna say, that's a total ego thing. Ego. That's just 64 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: like salaries. It's like, okay, wait, I'm better than him. 65 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: He's making how much more than me? Now, next contract, 66 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, Like you'll see the contract. I'm like, I 67 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: just want to make one hundred dollars more than him. Like, 68 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be some crazy amount. I just 69 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: have to say that my contract is better or bigger 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: than it's. Oh, the Eagles, the Eagles, and you guys 71 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: know the Eagles in these locker rooms are are out 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: of this. We've said it on this show before and 73 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: we'll bring it up again. Nate sent us some pictures 74 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: if y'all have it. Look, that's awesome. Um, we've said 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: it on the show before. But but professional athletes are 76 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: some of the most delicate people in the world when 77 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: it comes to getting feelings hurt. And and you know 78 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: why is that, Jesse, Because we've been catered to our 79 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: entire lives. Yeah, we've we've been told, Yes, we've been had, 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: We've had the red carpet rolled out. Um, we've had 81 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: rules bent, anything and everything that is supposed to go 82 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: on our favor has gone in our favor because of 83 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: our ability to play a game. Play a game. That's it. 84 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: That is it. I mean there were times in high 85 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: school I would sleep every day in Spanish class unless 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: I lost the football basketball game. I lose. Hey, hey, hey, 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: wake up. I win z's all day. I can sleep, 88 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: I can strule, snore, never had an issue. Did you 89 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: make an A B B? Yeah, you can't make it 90 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: two two two obvious? Too obvious? Can you speak Spanish? No? 91 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: It's like that Jimmy Johnson story when the fullback fell 92 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: asleep in the meeting and they cut him, and they 93 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: asked them in the press conference, what happens if Troykeman 94 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: fell asleep in the meeting? He goes, well, we get 95 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: him a pillow. All right, let's talk some current events. 96 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: Little news came out, used to fall asleep in meeting? 97 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: What you get a pillow? What? DEAs? Oh yeah, are 98 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: you comfortable a blanket? Pill you feed up here? Das 99 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: enjoy these z's, you know, can't if you know the playbook. 100 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: On Sunday, we're gonna to throw it up to you. 101 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Just hit that nine route. Yeah, let go get it. 102 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: Still get it? So little news came out yesterday. Yes, 103 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: little little, little little a little scary. I don't know, scary, 104 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: but a little it's convenient. Yes, that's a great word 105 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: and a little worrisome at this point. And I guess 106 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: this point in the season because little COVID outbreak has 107 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: has hit the team or I didn't really read did 108 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: anyone test positive or these just day in protocol? How 109 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: today I think they all tested positive. They're all vaccinated 110 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: from my understanding, but um, they all tested positive, which 111 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: is why they're in it now. And it was well 112 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and Carlos Watkins at the game, and then 113 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: yesterday it was ceedee lamb Israel move uuamaquam sorry yeah, sorry, 114 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: and then um Nates not even here. Um, we got 115 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: your back, Nate trying to blank on the last guy. 116 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: But there's there's five totals. Totals okay, and so they are. 117 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: But you know, I think that the worry for me 118 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: at least is that we've already you know, talked about 119 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: how this training camp there's been a lot of rest days. 120 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: They haven't had to work dak press atta minum got 121 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: in the field, that sort of thing. And now you're 122 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: throwing this into the mix where And I don't honestly know. 123 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: It sounded like from his press conference yesterday that McCarthy 124 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: said they were having to do some things virtually meetings, 125 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: and so you know, this is just one more inconvenience 126 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: that they've got to deal with as they try to 127 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: prepare for this season. Malik Hooker was the other guy. Yes, 128 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, Malik Hooker. So yeah, I guess 129 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: the big thing for me out of it is it 130 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: looked like we were finally getting back to somewhat normal 131 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: scene around the facility on game days. You know, obviously 132 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: there were still a lot of protocols and a lot 133 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: of safety measures on the field and in the stadiums 134 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: and you know, around here, and it felt like you 135 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: were getting closer to being back to normal. And then 136 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, this season there would probably be safety precautions, 137 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: but then maybe next season, Hey, we're back to somewhat 138 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: of a normal society. You know. And to me, this 139 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: is not just about football, it's kind of society in general. 140 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: You know, how do we get back to normal? How 141 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: do we how at what point do does this just 142 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: become part of everyday life where it's like the flu 143 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: and it's just something that we live with or you know, 144 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going away. You know, there's all 145 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: this stuff up in the air, but you know now 146 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: and we've kind of stayed away from it. We were 147 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: one of the teams that didn't have any positive cases 148 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: during training camp or any of that stuff. And then 149 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, oh wow, on game 150 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: day it hits, and now it's three more what three 151 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: more guys after that? So then it's like, okay, does 152 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: this make us as a league? Is this going to 153 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: pause and even maybe go backwards a little bit as 154 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: far as precautions. But I think the big thing, the 155 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: big concern is, you're, what two weeks week and a 156 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: half now from opening well, two weeks I guess from 157 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: two weeks from in two days right, two weeks from Thursday? 158 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: How does this Because this still affects people in different ways. 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: Some people don't have many symptoms, some people that it's 160 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: lingering for a while. You've got now, you've got some 161 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: key role players that are gonna play on that opening 162 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: night that are now in this protocol. You know, how 163 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: worried are you? Jesse? You know overall that this is 164 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: going to affect Opening night. From a players standpoint, everyone 165 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: should be worried. I think coaching staff, players, equipment staff. 166 00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: Because one positive from a trainer, right, Jim Mayer, test positive? 167 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: What your marra interacts with just about every single player, right, 168 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks about Bucky Brooks. But but Bucky right, test positive? 169 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: And how many players go back to get stuff? Bucky 170 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: a coach, right, if he tests positive, you're talking about 171 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: the entire room that the coaches might be put on 172 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: this protocol and being it now the game was on 173 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: a Thursday and not a Sunday, you kind of actually 174 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: lose days to even have that. If you had a 175 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: positive on Monday, you had to wait five days. At 176 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: least you get to Saturday and you said, all right, 177 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: we can we're clear. But on the Thursday you put 178 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: yourself in more of a very peculiar situation. I think 179 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: this biggest thing with with this COVID is that we 180 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: get to a point where we're beginning to relax, right, 181 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: and and COVID says, hello, I'm still here. Still, I'm 182 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: still here, right, And so this is this is the 183 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: new normal, right right, going back to what we used 184 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: to think was this is the new normal. You asked 185 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: the question, when will we get back when hospital stopped 186 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: being full to capacity, when people stop dying at a 187 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: rapid rate from from this, when you know this thing 188 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: has taken a serious and significant turn. We thought by 189 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: now that we would be back to a new normal. 190 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: But and it's like, hey, you know what, Now we 191 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: got COVID twenty two, you got variance coming out of this. 192 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: And before it was just hey, it's just really attacking 193 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 1: the old and the elderly. And it was it was 194 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: just attacking the old, elder elderly and those who were 195 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, out of shape. But now you're seeing people 196 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: our age thirty eight, forty forty five, younger, people who 197 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: are in shape, you know, are being affected by this virus. 198 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: And so it's very worrisome because the moment we relax, 199 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: the moment of player relaxes, and as you know, I'm 200 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: gonna go to this event or I'm gonna have these 201 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: folks over at my house on a Wednesday on a Thursday, 202 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: and they come back and they do their weekly tests 203 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: and it comes up positive because even if you're vaccinated, 204 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: it's five days. Yeah, that's what the bills are going 205 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: through this today. That their trainer was came up he 206 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: was fully vaccinated, became up positive. Well, Cole Beasley and 207 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: some other guys were around him. They has to negative. 208 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: But you know Beasley isn't is vaccinated vaccinated, so he 209 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: has to spend five days away from the team. So 210 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's so all this time that you're losing, 211 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: whether that be meeting time, practice time, or in the 212 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: event that you actually have to miss a game. This 213 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: isn't the NBA. You don't get eighty whatever it is. 214 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: This isn't the MLB. When you get one hundred and 215 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: sixty of these bad boys, you get seventeen yea and 216 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: they count so much every single week, and you kind 217 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: of want to have all your soldiers fitting ready to 218 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: go about time, you know, September ninth gets here and 219 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: and you want to have that every single week. But 220 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: you just this thing is so unpredictable. It is so unpredictable, man, 221 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: and I just I don't know. It's it's something that 222 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: we just can't relax on. We have to remember that 223 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: this thing is real, it is here, and from a 224 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: analyst and media perspective, we want all our guys to 225 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: be out there and playing at full capacity. But it's not. 226 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: It's not almost a matter of if, it's just when 227 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: when When are we gonna get hit with something? Because 228 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be everybody's gonna get hit with this when 229 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: and what and what group or what position? And how 230 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: many and how many right? And how often? Like does 231 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: it is it? You know? One time? Is this it? 232 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: Or will you know? Will this happening again? Because I 233 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: can guarantee you this, It's gonna take a cold day 234 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: in hell for the NFL to shut back down again. 235 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: I'm telling you we can sit here and say how 236 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: much the NFL care and how much this and this 237 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: and this. It will be a brisk, cold day in 238 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: hell before the NFL goes back to no fans in 239 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the stands. There was so much money that was lost 240 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: last year, and the NFL is all about the bottom dollar, 241 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: so they're gonna do anything and everything. Hence why you 242 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: see some of the rules that hey, if you guys 243 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: aren't vaccinated and you miss games or you cause a forfeit, 244 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: your team, your owner is on the hook for salaries, 245 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: for revenue for all of that for both teams. Because 246 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: the NFL saying, oh we are about our dollars. These 247 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: owners are about their dollars. This bottom line is it, 248 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: and nothing gets in Nothing gets in front of that, 249 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: not health, not you, not your family. So they're not 250 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: shutting this thing down. They're going to be fans in 251 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: the stands this year at every single game. They ain't 252 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: shutting that down. So Gary tweeted us. You know, he 253 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: sees there's no way this team gets enough snaps in 254 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: practice now to be ready. And you gotta think McCarthy's like, 255 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: what I gotta do here, man, We're kind of getting 256 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: my quarterbacks are do you what you think I mean? 257 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: Are they going to be ready for this two weeks? 258 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: You know what, Let's talk about that table. Let's let's 259 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: go to first break. Let's talk about that, and then 260 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: let's talk about the debate that I've been having with people. 261 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: My opinion is people that don't no football. Jesse played football. 262 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: You can tell me if my opinion means anything or not. 263 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: But I have been having a debate with several different 264 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: people that think we have to win a preseason game. 265 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Would it be nice to me? Yes? Like? Is it 266 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: absolutely necessary? No? Like? And as an employee the Cowboys, 267 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: I want to win every game. Sure, because that helps 268 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: us out right. That helps us, that helps our partners, 269 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: that helps our fans. But the debate is my look 270 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: at it is like it's preseason. It does not matter. 271 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: But there are people that are arguing with me that 272 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: are like it does matter. So Jesse, as someone that 273 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: played the game, when we come back, I want to 274 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: know your opinion. All right, We'll talk about Cooper Rush, 275 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: We'll talk about will this team be ready, and so 276 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: many more things.

Continue to 343 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: shout us out from a distance, though from a distance 344 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: a social, social least safe distance. Um, but yeah, we will. 345 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: We will take calls soon. So um, Kurt, I'll ask 346 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: you first, are you gonna chew that gum the entire show? Probably? 347 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't ever chew gum god spots, Maybe it could be. Sorry, 348 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: I didn't even I didn't even realize I was doing. 349 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so I'll stop. I'll stop That's 350 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: why I don't ever chew Gum. I'll stop. Um, they 351 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: probably pop out of my mouth. He's gonna ask a 352 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: question and stick on the stick on the microphone phone. Oh, Kurt, 353 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: I'll ask you first, since Jesse, Jesse, I think has 354 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: more a little more weight on this subject. But do 355 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: you think preseason matters? Well? Yeah, it matters, Um for 356 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: many reasons. Um, do you think wins and loss? I'm sorry, Yeah, 357 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: wins and loss. That's a tough one. I like to say. Yes. Now, 358 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: I think that, like again she Houston, our starters play 359 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: that whole game, we win, you know, our our depth 360 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: comes in the seton guys in the second half fighting 361 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: for roster spots and we lose, So that that definitely 362 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: makes a difference. Um, But I don't know. I hate 363 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: to go winless in the preseason. I think for the 364 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: culture you're trying to build, you want to be winning culture. 365 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: That all goes into it. I guess the argument is 366 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: if you're starting unit is playing well and they're you know, 367 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: making progress, and they're winning the first half, I guess, 368 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: and then then you're good. But Kurt, I wants matter? 369 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: Do they you want to win? But matter? But Do 370 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: they matter? Um, all right, Jesse, never mind, Kurt's going him. 371 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: They having their place. I think that you know. Do 372 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: they matter? Yes? Okay, thank you, thank you, Jesse. Yes 373 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: they matter. Yes. When they they don't, when they stop 374 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: keeping score, then they won't matter. Winning is a habit 375 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: built okay, And if you accept losing and losing it 376 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: is okay. Now, you might not start throwing things after 377 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: a preseason game loss, but it feels better when you win. 378 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: You're able to cheach better when you win, You're able 379 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,479 Speaker 1: to see more of the positives when you win. Winning 380 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: is a form built habit, and when you don't take 381 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: winning serious at any level practice, preseason, game, scrimmages, then 382 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: you're building a habit of losing. Losing mentality, losing thought process, 383 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 1: all of that. These guys practice not anymore, but they 384 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: work way too harder every single week in practice to 385 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: not go out there and do what they're supposed to do. Now, yes, 386 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: you have to break it up and say, well, if 387 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: our starts would have played the entire time, we probably 388 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: would have won. But you like seeing at the end 389 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: of the game your team with more points than the 390 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: other team. It's it's it's a feeling that it's I 391 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: can't explain it, and and I don't want to be 392 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: the guy like unless you're out there doing it. Guys 393 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: want to win all the time. That's just a competitive 394 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: nature of what it takes to get to a level 395 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: like these guys are at right now, m at this level. 396 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: So to me, winning is always important, it's all. It 397 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: always matters because when you're not winning, that means you're losing. 398 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: Anytime you're losing and you and you're comfortable with losing, 399 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: then that means you're building a habit in your mind 400 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: and your your work ethic of losing is okay? Is it? 401 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Does it make a difference, Like the starters, they say, well, 402 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: we want our series even though we didn't win the game, 403 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: is there something to pull from that? Ters it's still 404 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: like we lost, yes and no, right, because if CD's 405 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: gonna say, man, if we were out there for the 406 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: whole time, we probably dog walk these folks, right. But again, 407 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you still want to 408 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: walk away from this thing with the w It's just 409 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: it's just something about winning, Like I want to win 410 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: when I'm at the green, I'm at the red light. 411 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: I want to be the first one to take off 412 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: on the light teams green like I want to win 413 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: that like I want to win. You know, when um, 414 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: when you see it, there's a crowded place that you're 415 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: about to walk into and someone pull up like alongside 416 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: of you, I want to beat them to the door. 417 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I want to I don't want to wait 418 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,239 Speaker 1: behind them. So for me, I'm always trying to win 419 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: at everything that I do. I don't play around like 420 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, kids will be in the gym at school 421 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, coach, let's play me one on one. 422 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you, I don't want to lose. Ever, 423 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't like losing. And see I'm the same way. 424 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: But I think whenever it comes to preseason, because it's 425 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: not a complete reflection of the actual whole body of 426 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: the team. It's you know, you're you're you're getting second third, 427 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: four stream guys in there, and you're trying to figure 428 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: out where everybody fits and you're messing around with stuff. 429 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: To me, it's not ye, I don't know, I just 430 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: it's weird. But maybe I need to. But but what 431 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: Jesse says makes total sense. Like you you're it's the 432 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: same way. Like I'm I'm like Jesse, like my kid, 433 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a hell of a time growing up 434 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: because I ain't letting him win like I one year 435 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: old to sixteen years old. You got to earn it, 436 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: like and when you get old enough to beat me 437 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: and you start, good for you. But until then, it's 438 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: gonna be hell for you to you know, I'm not 439 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: letting you win like because I hate to lose. And 440 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: I guess I should have a different mindset when it 441 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: comes to preseason, because I get it the players are 442 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: probably the same way, Like they don't want to lose 443 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: that anything, and they got to this level because they 444 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: haven't lost it anything, right, So maybe I'll change my 445 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: attitude about preseason. Thank you Jesse, friend like me anytime 446 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: I liked him some time. All Right, what the hell 447 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: are we doing a backup quarterback? Because the guy we 448 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: thought was going to be the guy, who the guy 449 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: that we thought was going to be the guy behind 450 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: him is playing better than the guy that we thought 451 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: was going to be the guy. But then do we 452 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: even know if he's one of those guys or the guy? 453 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: And you go get another guy off the street and 454 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: then what about the the fourth guy? The fourth guy? 455 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: Is he gone? Well, yeah, so we're talking about Garrett, Gilbert, 456 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: been de Nucci, Cooper Rush not in that particular order. 457 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: So I think everyone thought Gilbert was going to be 458 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: the guy, the backup, right, that was the assumption going in. 459 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush has actually been out playing him in preseason 460 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: and practices apparently get to start this game, this upcoming game, 461 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: and then they really some I think they really liked 462 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: de Nucci. But who is they? I don't know who 463 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: is that? I think because he's just draft pick. Why 464 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: does he come back? It's Mike's guy right when you 465 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: say they? And this goes back to a point that 466 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: we we had a couple of weeks ago about having 467 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: a sponsor in the meeting room. Like sometimes having a 468 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: sponsor and who your sponsor is matters. I tell young 469 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: guys all the time, man, be careful how you treat 470 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: your coaches, because who guys who are positioned coaches this 471 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: year are coordinators two years from now or head coaches 472 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: four years from now, and you may be looking for 473 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: a job. They're not gonna have a problem finding a 474 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: job across the league or in college. If they've been 475 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: around for a while. You, on the other hand, are 476 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: probably going to be so for a guy like Ben 477 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: d Nucci. If the head coach is your sponsor, that 478 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: kind of works for your favorite. Now, whatever you can say, 479 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 1: nepotism because his brother coached him and au basketball when 480 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: he was six years old, whatever it is. At this 481 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: point in time, you don't give a damn. I just 482 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: want to make the squad in one way, shape or form, 483 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: whether that's backup role or practice squad roll. I'm just 484 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: trying to be around to collect some money and to 485 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: be around because like, think about it, and this may 486 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: seem super far fetched, Okay, but just think about it 487 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: for a second. We rave and we were, We're in love. 488 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: We're infatuated with our starting quarterback, Dak Prescott. Dak was 489 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: battling Jamil's Showers. Like, think about that for a second. 490 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: And I say that to say this. Dak was battling 491 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: Jamil Showers, who went to play safety. It took not 492 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: one but two injuries to happen for him to be 493 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: catapulted to the starting spot. One hundred million, gazillion dollars later, 494 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: He's the next best thing in Cowboy Country to slice bread. Yep. 495 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: So a guy like Ben de Nucci's saying, you know what, 496 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't care what you may say about me. Chance, 497 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is what I'm saying is you just 498 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: want to find a way to stay on right. You 499 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: just want to find a way to be here. Now, 500 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: do I think Garret Gilbert in Denucci or or Cooper 501 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: Rush will ever be the level of Dak Prescott. No, 502 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying from 503 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: a player's perspective, I just gotta hang around because hanging 504 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: around I've witnessed lead to millions and hundreds of millions, 505 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: zillions of dollars for the other quarterback who has a 506 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: little bit of injuries, and it only takes you never know. 507 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: And if you remember that that year rookie, Dak's rookie year, 508 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: he didn't practice that great. He was a terrible practice. 509 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: Play when the lights came on, he showed up and 510 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: he Yeah, even after he started, I think played in 511 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: preseason games, he'd go back to practicing. It was like, 512 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about this, and look what Liqueri is now. 513 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: So to answer your original question, I'm gonna keep saying this. 514 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: We're screwed. We're screwed. And and this isn't This isn't 515 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: an on Will McClay or the personnel. There are thirty 516 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: two NFL football teams in this league, and there are 517 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: thirty There isn't thirty two solid starting quarterbacks in this league. 518 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: There are teams right now today who don't know who 519 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: their starter is going to be, and even when they 520 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: announced that starter, that starter still isn't one we're like, 521 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: who excited about? So we're talking about a backup. There 522 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: are literally NFL teams who don't know who their starting 523 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be, and the guy that they're picking, 524 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: they're still on offensive about will he actually be successful? 525 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: How do we have to gain plan this thing for 526 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: him to kind of not lose the game for us? So, like, 527 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: this quarterback thing is a real challenge. It's only about 528 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: a handful of really fifteen probably good ones, as you 529 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: can say, all right, that's the guy, he's starting quarterback. 530 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: We're confident with him, we can build around him, and 531 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: then the other fifteen or toss ups. So we're so 532 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out the backup quarterback position. And 533 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it might have been Nick, 534 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: It might have been Jerry who were talking about. You know, 535 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: when you you paid this large amount of money for 536 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, right, and and so you don't have 537 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: all these funds to just be going around and allocating 538 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: all this money to another high paid You paid five 539 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: million dollars to the backup last year and that didn't help, right, 540 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: And that was a guy last year who had starting 541 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: yea ten plus games multiple times in the season, who 542 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: was a first round pick, who already had a ninety 543 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: million dollar, hundred million dollar contract, and then you paid 544 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: him on the high end for backup money, and it 545 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: still didn't lead you to a situation where when you 546 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: had to go to your backup it was enough to 547 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: carry you to a place um of success. So we 548 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: can toss this thing up in an about backup quarterback. 549 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: If four is not on the field, we are royally 550 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: non lubricated. Wow in there, it hurts, It hurts. What 551 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: do you think hurt? Should they should? They like you 552 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: just roll with what you got. Well, it's like sounds 553 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: like they're going to now, Like Jesse said, I mean, 554 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: there's just not much out there on the streets. It's 555 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: better than it's better than know the it's better. What 556 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: is it the saying to know the devil, Like it's 557 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: better than know the devil that you do know that 558 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: of the devil that you don't know. Like, at least 559 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: we know these devils. Yeah, we know what we're gonna 560 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: get with these guys, and so when it comes to 561 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: game planning or whatever, we know that we have to 562 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: either go super conservative or pray for our defense to 563 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: be better. It's like the devils that we do know 564 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: are better than the devils that we don't know, and 565 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: we don't know what else is out there, and they 566 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: don't know our system. At least these guys have been 567 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,479 Speaker 1: in this system, been around these players, been around these 568 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: coaches for season or two, and it's just again, we're screwed. Yeah, 569 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush and Gilbert if he wins it out, that's 570 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: their advantage. They know the system. I mean, they're not 571 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: going to be that much better than maybe, But I 572 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: don't know. What did you think about the h I 573 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: think it was Adam Schefter, you know, the other day, 574 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: said something like, Dak's gonna do hang on, we gotta 575 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: let's go to the let's go to break and then 576 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: we'll come back that's not gonna be a short conversation. 577 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: All right.

I didn't even want to talk 643 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: about it. This is my opinion and my personal opinion. 644 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I don't have any inside information. 645 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 1: This is just me. You're seeing reports now that Dak's 646 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: going to be battling this injury all year, right, Yeah, 647 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: technic it was Adam Schefter he I think he tweeted 648 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: that out. So halftime of the last came. Yeah. So 649 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: here's here's my opinion. And I don't know much, but 650 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: this is just my observation, and believe me, I'm wrong 651 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: all the time. I feel like if this was something 652 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: to be majorly concerned about, Dak would not be out 653 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: there throwing during practice. He would not be out there 654 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: throwing during warmups. Like I feel like if it was 655 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: something that was not something to be concerned about year long, 656 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: they would shut him down completely and he would be 657 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: walking around and they wouldn't even let him have a 658 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: football in his hand. That's my personal opinion. I'm not, 659 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not a doctor. I don't know 660 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: exactly all the details of this injury other than what 661 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 1: we've read, and you know that it's a throwing injury. 662 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: I just feel like, when you spend that much money 663 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: on a quarterback, if there was any concern of how 664 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: this thing is supposed to heal, he would not be 665 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: out there throwing the ball. And I know it's different 666 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: when you throw game speed. We talked about that in 667 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: the velocity and everything, but I mean, he's not just 668 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: he's not playing soft toss. He's throwing the ball whenever 669 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: he's at practice and when he's in pregame warm ups 670 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: and stuff. So he's putting some zip on it. Now, 671 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: he's not getting behind it and putting you know, and 672 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: slinging it. But that's just my opinion. I could be 673 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: totally off base. That's that's how I feel about it. 674 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: Are you guys worried about this injury going into the 675 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: season and into the season, No, not particularly. I think 676 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: when he first tweeted that out, everybody took it to me. No, 677 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be playing or whatever. I think that 678 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: just as a major league pitch does, he's gonna have 679 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: to take care of his arm. He's gonna have maybe 680 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: some different maintenance than he did in the past, and 681 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: that that may just be a part of his routine now. 682 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: But I don't think. Again, I'm not a doctor obviously either. 683 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on behind closed doors over there, 684 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: but I think it's he's gonna be there Sundays. He's 685 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: just gonna have to his routine during the week to 686 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: get ready. May change something. And that's really yeah, because 687 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: if we're talking about having to change a routine, missing 688 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: more time, less throwing, less participation, you're the body doesn't 689 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: rejuvenate and get more healed as you get into the season. 690 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: It does the exact opposite. It breaks down, right, muscles 691 00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: wear down. Recovery isn't because now in the offseason, you know, 692 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: Dad took a month off from throwing. You don't get 693 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: a month off in football season. Hits. You get three 694 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: days four days tops to recover. So what used to 695 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: be we can take two weeks off to fully let 696 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: it recover, or the maintenance or whatever it is. You 697 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: don't get that anymore because you got a game Thursday, Sunday, Thursday, Monday, 698 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: and every single week it's coming. And the more time 699 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: that he begins to take off for whatever routine, maintenance 700 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: or whatever that thing is, that's less time we got 701 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: to prepare, less less time we got to be truly 702 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: sharp and accurate in what we do. And I just 703 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: think with this team and we talked about it on 704 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: this show before, Nate is in fact, like when he 705 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: says it about this defense when six weeks before they're 706 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: kind of in the swing of things, I'm just not trying. 707 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: And then you also have to add him to the 708 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: fact that he's getting rest in practice now and he's 709 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: not getting touched right when you play seventy snaps on Sunday. Yeah, 710 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: we you know, that's a whole different. That's a whole different. 711 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: That's a car crash kind of sword, you know. And 712 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to be sacked one hundred, 713 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: one hundred times, but he'll get touched, he'll get thumped, 714 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: he'll get thudded, he'll get sacked, he'll take off for running, 715 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: get tackled, he'll fall. So then you add that onto 716 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: the mix of two and already worn down kind of situation. 717 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: That's the concern, Like, I don't I'm not concerned. And 718 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: sometimes I even kind of, you know, give a side 719 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: eye to the national media because it's a lot of hearsay, 720 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: like we're here every day, we know what's going on. 721 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: You know. I'm not saying that Adam doesn't have sources. 722 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 1: But I can pick up the phone to call Britt 723 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: Brown if I wanted to. I can walk down there, 724 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, and and and see it if I wanted to. 725 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 1: So I kind of sometimes give a side out to 726 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: the national media because they all have these big, vague 727 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 1: stories and Adam will always be like he breaks at 728 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: the halftime of the game, Right he breaks it, then 729 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 1: that ain'tbody happenstance. That's that's that's that's kind of placement, 730 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But to what Kurt was saying, 731 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: that's the part that worries me. It's not the start 732 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: of the season season, it's it's the it's the war 733 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: of attrition. It's will he be able to maintain and 734 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 1: be sustained throughout the entire year. I think the biggest 735 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: concern for me is not will he start the season, 736 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: will he play? The biggest concern for me right now 737 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: is he hasn't been getting reps with Amari Zeke now 738 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: CDs and protocol just the offensive line to offensive line, 739 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: like like it's you know, like Nate keeps saying, Hey, 740 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm not worried until week six with the with the defense. 741 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: You know, if we're O and six, then I'm gonna 742 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: then I'll pay. Like I'm he's given them a six 743 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: week grace period. I think this offense as good as 744 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna be, it's gonna take them a couple of 745 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: weeks to get in sync. Now, and you're coming out 746 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: of the gate against the world chance like that's then 747 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: you go across the country and yes, could be rising 748 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: Chargers team. Yeah. So it's like, you know, you're you're 749 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 1: coming out of the gate and you're not playing you know, scrubs. 750 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: You're you're coming out and it's like, okay, so do 751 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: you start owing two? And I'm just I'm worried about 752 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: him syncing up and getting reps because they really haven't 753 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: as a unit had any reps if you think about it, 754 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: in training camp, they really haven't. You know, Amari has 755 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: been out, so as a whole unit, they've been in complete. Yeah, 756 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: they've been incomplete. Amar has been out. Like this offensive 757 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: unit has not been together once, not one snap, not 758 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: one snap, not one snap together and how long like 759 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: since spring January? Well, I guess of the off season. Well, well, no, 760 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: was they were running. It was probably like started last season. 761 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, like this group with healthy Tyring and 762 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: ELC and you know this group hasn't been together. Yeah. 763 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: Well yeah, and else was out all last year. Yeah, 764 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: it's along. It's been a lot. So now again we're 765 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: back to the same spot and its supposed to be 766 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: just hey, slap it all together, yeah, Raymond James Stadium. 767 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: But we know what to do. Well it all comes. 768 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 1: And that's the thing, like, you know, we I think 769 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: everybody downplayed how important you know, and you and Nate 770 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: both talked about it on the show, how important it 771 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: was to get your hands on guys and all this 772 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: virtual stuff. There's a huge difference in that and and 773 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,320 Speaker 1: being on the field together. There's also a huge difference 774 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: in just being out there in shorts and watching guys 775 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 1: run routes and actually being on the field and running routes. 776 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: That's a totally different thing. And because and then the game, 777 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: like you'll you'll start the game, you'll have some things working, 778 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: but then it will be that one thing where I 779 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I thought she was gonna go in 780 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: and you actually went out, and it's interception. Yeah right, 781 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. It's like, you may do It's 782 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: like riding a bike, right, you get on, but yeah, 783 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: I know how to pedal, but that's not saying that 784 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: pedal might slip and I might hit my shin. And 785 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 1: so that's stuff that when when it comes to the 786 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: game is yeah they may get in. It may be like, oh, 787 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: look see they lined up, they broke the huddle. Yeah 788 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,439 Speaker 1: we get that. But what happens when that one play 789 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: where the cadence was this and the communication was, oh, 790 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: I thought you meant go out, and we really went 791 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: We went in there, and now there's a free runner. 792 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: They're shock Barrett released freely and for a sack right 793 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: or oh man, shoot that audible. I forgot that. We 794 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: changed it and so you were supposed to run a 795 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: slant and not a stop route, and so I either 796 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,320 Speaker 1: I either threw it hoping you were going to be 797 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: there and it got tipped and picked or whatever it is. 798 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: So it's like they can do a they can do 799 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: ninety nine things right, But when you don't have that 800 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: that level of consistency, when when will that hat drop 801 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: and that hundred thing be wrong? Would it be a strip, 802 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: sack fumble? And a lot of times you know, that 803 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: can be the outcome of the game. Yeah, I'm not 804 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: saying that they won't be able to. This is just 805 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: the thing like, oh, they don't they don't know how 806 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: to play football, you know. No, it's they don't how 807 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: to play football, and they'll they'll do a lot of 808 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 1: it right, But it's the consistent part that we've seen 809 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 1: with this team in the past offensively and defensively that 810 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 1: comes sometimes comes back to bite us in the butt. Yep. 811 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: And this sounds so stupid, you know, and I'm not 812 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: even gonna say it never mind. Is this your is 813 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: this your playing picture? It is credential.
