1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Year number eleven of this show, Jerry, how about it, John? 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Have I been in the league eleven years? I don't 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: even remember that time going by, but good to be 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: on with you guys, and I should enjoyed seeing you 5 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: there at training camp and and just enjoying the feeling 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: of being there at that no boo sitting right there 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: but that ocean, and I was kind of remembering some 8 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: of the great stories of Cowboy teams of the past 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: when they went out two thousand Oaks, And the entire 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: thing for me was just a time of a little 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: bit of reflection because we saw how important was to 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: us the year before when we didn't get to do that, 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: both from our fans standpoint, and well, it's just our 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: own attitude absolutely, And you've been very vocal about and 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: very emotional over football returning, Jerry, how do you think 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: things have gone with the COVID cloud of what we 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: did Knox Snard now coming back to Frisco and we 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: know that more players are putting the protocol yesterday? How 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: do you think things have gone for you in the 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: league despite having to deal with this. Well, I think 21 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: the league of which includes obviously Cowboys, but our approach 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: has been very successful relative to preseason, and we are 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: protocols fit the conditions of today. Every team, of course 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: will conform to what the local or state protocols are, 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: and whatever they are, they are, but in general, what's 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: different this year is the vaccine, and the vaccine has 27 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: removed any realistic concern about the teams competing. Are the 28 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: teams competing for a full house of football fans. So 29 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: that's the difference. Last year was certainly a lot more 30 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: than practice. But last year was an exercise that all 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: the teams went through, the league went through. It was 32 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: very successful. You Cowboys were, in terms of attendance, the 33 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: most successful of all. And we'll remember and use what 34 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: we learned last year, and then we will obviously use 35 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: that and the fact that we have this vaccine available. 36 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Our team is, for all practical purposes totally vaccine. I 37 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: think there's as this morning, there may be four or 38 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: five of our players that haven't received their full dose 39 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: or an oculative dose of its term of the vaccine. 40 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 1: All of our staff have and of course we're experiencing 41 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: to some degree what a lot of people are. You 42 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: can catch the virus having been vaccinated, you can catch 43 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: it haven't been vaccinated and had the virus, but it's 44 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: just not as severe and as threatening this time around. Jerry, 45 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: what do you say to the players who have said 46 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: Colebasy being one, This isn't fair. The NFL is kind 47 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: of forcing us to do this. How do you weigh 48 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, the personal choice we all have with the 49 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: league and your approach for those who haven't wanted to 50 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: get vaccinated. Well, I don't really say anything here. To me, 51 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: this is a team game. We rely on each other 52 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: to play, We rely on each other to win. We 53 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: have to have each other. There's let them guys out 54 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: there at any one time to be tried about it, 55 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and you have to count on the other guy being available. 56 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: And you certainly don't want to be doing anything that 57 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: causes your team mates to not be available. All of 58 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that comes to the same conclusion as far as what 59 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: you've agreed to be as far as a player be 60 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: a part of a team, you check eye at the door, 61 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: so to speak. It's about we. Then, all of that 62 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: has an answer. Now, everyone has a right to make 63 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: their own decisions regarding their health and their body. I 64 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: believe in that completely. Until your decision as to yourself 65 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: impacts negatively many others. Then the common good takes over 66 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: and I'm arm waving here. But that has everything to 67 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: do with the way I look at our team, the Cowboys, 68 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: or the way I look at our society. We have 69 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: got to check eye at the door and go forward 70 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: with your Dallas Cowboys are doing that. Jerry Jones join 71 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: us here, one oh five three the fan. All right, 72 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 1: So a little bit of football actual on the field stuff, 73 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: or I guess not on the field because he hasn't 74 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: really been on the field. But Dak Prescott the arm injury. 75 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Where would he have to be in his recovery for 76 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: you to be nervous about game one in week one? 77 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: In his status and availability, I wouldn't be nervous this 78 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: morning as to where he is in his recovery. He's there, 79 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: and I'd like for him to have this week practice 80 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: just to get ready to play Tampa. But of course 81 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: we've got about two and a half weeks or two weeks. 82 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is he's there, and everything that 83 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: we're doing to mitigate any needless as far as what 84 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: it gains us. Everything we can do to be extra 85 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: careful about any issues he has are just not worth 86 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,239 Speaker 1: the game out his practice to not give him the rest, 87 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: and that's not uncommon. That's very common for pulls, muscle pulls, 88 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: soft tissue type injuries to give it some rest. And 89 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: so that's what we're doing. When he wants to right now, 90 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: he can let it go. And it does in those 91 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: that some of a lot of those exercises that he does, 92 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: as well as actually throwing the ball. That'll increase is 93 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: each day goes by, each practice go by. That will 94 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: increase as we go towards Tampa. Jerry, do you think 95 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: any part of the injury was maybe compensating for his ankle, 96 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: just kind of relearning how to throw and use the 97 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: lower body. I don't know about that. I think that 98 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: it was a single incident. I don't believe it was 99 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: a compounding of a lot of throws with his arm, 100 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: which he's been doing all spring. I don't believe that 101 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: was the case at all. I think he just was 102 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: talked or his situation was right to basically make that 103 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of throw, and certainly it was one that required 104 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: everything he had, and he might have gotten a little 105 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: warm in it and a little less help and with 106 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: less body in it, and consequently had a pull. It's 107 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: interesting to note though that if he had to, he 108 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: could have finished a game, could have finished, and if 109 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: he had to, he could have gone out. In my mind, 110 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: the next weekend play But since we're over seventeen games 111 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: away from potentially even being in the playoff, and hopefully 112 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: several games in the playoff, it just doesn't make any sense. 113 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: Just slightly evaluating it says, give it a little rest. 114 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones here was on an r J kicking off 115 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: season number eleven with the Cowboys owner in GM on 116 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: one oh five three. The fan final Dak question, Jerry, 117 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: do you have concern after the Tampa game of the 118 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: wear and tear or how much he'll be able to 119 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: practice given that he's been off basically for a year 120 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: and until the off season. Is there more of a 121 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: question of how Dak will be feeling throughout the season 122 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: while while maintaining and monitoring this. I would say one 123 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: hundred percent of any type of restriction that he's heading 124 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: right now in his routine, one hundred percent is about 125 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: later in the season. I have no compunction about him 126 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: going out there and playing against Tampa, or for that matter, 127 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: playing early. I just want to do everything we can 128 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: so that there are no issues as we go through 129 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: the season because we didn't give it a little rest 130 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: in the off season. Sure, Jerry, how solid do you 131 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: feel about the backup quarterback spot? Things seem to reopen 132 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: up the other day with how Cooper Rush played. How 133 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: are you guys feeling about that backup spot right now? Well, 134 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: you know, you just at the end of the day. 135 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: In this case, if you're feeling real good about one 136 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: and he's a backup and you feel good about the 137 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: availability of your first one, that's about as good as 138 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: it gets. When you're spending, well, we're spending for our 139 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: quarterback position. You look around the league and most clubs 140 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: don't break the bank at backup quarterback when you've got 141 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: the premium player we have at quarterback. That leaves you 142 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: a little vulnerable when you're nine guys and in there 143 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: to be tried. But we had it backed up last 144 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: year the best that I've ever seen, and it didn't 145 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: work for us. Well, lost back and we still our 146 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: backup quarterback had issues of availability. Andy Dalton and I 147 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: don't believe in my time that we've been in the 148 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: shape we were in there with a backup quarterback, and 149 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: we still didn't have the year we want to have 150 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: obviously to be tried, So no matter what you put 151 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: there doesn't necessarily have the results that you want. That's 152 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: no basis of making a decision and doing the very 153 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: best you can do at backup quarterback. It's great, though, 154 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: to have a quarterback, for instance, in Cooper Rush that 155 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: understands the game. We can do everything we can do 156 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: our complete portfolio as far as our offense is concerned. 157 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: With Cooper Rush, he's it's a little different, but still 158 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: we can do everything. That's good. I've seen the time 159 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: when the backup quarterback didn't allow you to do everything 160 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: you wanted to do, So that's that's really good there. 161 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: We'll see how this game checks out with the competition here, 162 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: and then we'll make a decision this week inn Jerry 163 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons seems every bit as good as advertised. Jabril 164 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: Cox is getting rave reviews. That's a crowded room. Where 165 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: does that leave Jalen Smith on the depth chart? Well, 166 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: one of the things that you always see at the 167 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: linebacker position and you see in your players is that 168 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: the word availability really steps up there. That's a space 169 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: contact position, and you hit on the run and you 170 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: hit with a lot of implosion, and so you have 171 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: you have the injury, you have the lack of availability 172 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: going for you there. We know that we think Vandresh 173 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: is an outstanding the player. He's in his prime because 174 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: of his experience now and his knowledge, and he played 175 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: lights out the other night, and so we want him 176 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: to have the season that he's capable of having and 177 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: be available for that. But we know that things can happen. 178 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: We've seen it happen. And so if we're going to 179 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: be in numbers, if we were going to be in numbers, 180 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: especially in quality, that's the position to do it. I 181 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: think it's unique that we're basically taking people that have 182 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: actually played safety before and bringing them down in two linebackers. 183 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: So a guy like Vandreish his ability to cover the ground, 184 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: his range, his length, his ability to what he can 185 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: do in the passing game, plus his accomplished play in 186 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: the running game, it gives us a heck of a 187 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: player there to go with some young players including Carson, 188 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: that really give us a position of strength there, and 189 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: we're building about it. Our defense is going to really 190 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: take advantage of the fact that we've got a handful 191 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: or more of outstanding players there in that position. We'll 192 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: do some things that's a little unconventional in there. Now, 193 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: let's get to the fun stuff. I think the number 194 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: one moment of hard knocks so far has been you 195 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: eating breakfast with the assault shaker. What type of reaction 196 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: did you get to that? And what have been your 197 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: favorite moments of hard knocks. Well, I've had a lot 198 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: of kidding, but you know, they put that salt shaker 199 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: on tables for a reason. I mean, I agree with 200 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: you. You You don't have to reach up there and ground it. 201 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: And for whatever the reason, I have even not paying 202 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: attention or I thought it wasn't coming out, and it 203 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: was coming out. But frankly, I don't remember those bites 204 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: being too salty. But I've had a lot of advice 205 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: on what I ingest relative to what's best for me, 206 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: and I agree with everybody. Too much salt is not good. 207 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: Leave it or not. In my early time, especially in sports, 208 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: right at the drinking fountain in my dressing room when 209 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: I was in high school, as well as in most 210 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: of college, we did not have water or we did 211 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: not have liquids at practice to a days of August, 212 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: and what you had when you did come to the 213 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: dressing room, you reached up, got a handful of salt 214 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: tablets and just I mean, like, eat twenty saltabits right 215 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: before you want out to practice. And so things do change. Now. 216 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: I probably could have jumped another fence to get to 217 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: my age right now if I hadn't had no salt 218 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: ab That's a good that's I think that's a good 219 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: excuse for the cardiologist when he calls you after seeing that. 220 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones here on one oh five three the fan beat. 221 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: My family. My aunt Margaret came up to me about 222 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: five or ten years after I had the Cowboys, and 223 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: she had the visibility in Bob with that she hadn't 224 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: been used to. But we have had family reunions at 225 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: our preseason games and she comes up and I've got 226 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: about twenty aunts and uncles and she said, Jerry, the 227 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: family's worried about you. I said, well, Margaret, why, she said, 228 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: we think maybe you're drinking a little too much. Said, well, 229 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: what makes you think that? She says, I don't know. Said, 230 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: we just kind of get the idea of we're maybe 231 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: seeing more of you than we used to because the Cowboys, 232 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: but you need to really watch that and said, you 233 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: know it could kill your uncle Joe her husband. I said, well, 234 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Aunt Margaret, he was ninety years old. She said yeah, 235 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: but drinking finally got him at ninety. Well my point, well, 236 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: if I can be like uncle Joe when I'm ninety, 237 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to have another Jack Daniels. Hey, this is 238 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: what we have all for Jerry Jones right here on 239 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: the fan. All right, before we let you go, I 240 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: want you to set us up for this Jerry Jones Classic. 241 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: It's airing on the NFL Network. Your love of this 242 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: level of football. We see you at a different game. 243 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: You know, a Friday, Saturday, Sunday doesn't matter. And I 244 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: want to know the best high school player or players 245 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: that you ever played against or saw the best the 246 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: best high school player that Jerry Jones ever saw and 247 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: set us up for this broadcast. Well, there's no biasiness 248 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: here in the land of football for Jerry Jones. But 249 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: the best competitor that I've ever been down and saw 250 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: inside was my grandson John Stephen Jones, who won two 251 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: state championships on teams that won two. Was the quarterback 252 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: over at Highland Park, and I thought I wanted it 253 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. I thought Steven wanted it a little bit, 254 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: But that guy wants it a lot. And I hope 255 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: he's on the field here against Old Miss. He plays 256 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: at Arkansas, and I hope he's on the field for 257 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: some time this year. But certainly I'm based when I've 258 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: looked at his career. But I've had the opportunity to 259 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: look back and see some great players by virtue of 260 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: evaluating players over the last thirty something years with the 261 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. We do and can go to high school 262 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: tape and see players play. But I think probably the 263 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: best player as a young player with a shot of 264 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: film was a Gail Sayers. And he when you saw 265 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: him and what he did, it changed the way that 266 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: you would think about a running back. And it was amazing. 267 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: He was there at Kansas and I'll never forget. Barry 268 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: Switzer tells the story he went up and scouting as 269 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: a young coach. He scouted for at that time in 270 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: Arkansas Razorbacks, and he came back and he said to everybody, 271 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: I've seen the future. I've seen what it's going to 272 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: be like to play football. Gail Sayers Kansas. Wow.
