The perspective and the storytelling that what 36 00:01:59,148 --> 00:02:02,388 Speaker 3: people will watch is truly remarkable. When we go back 37 00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:04,228 Speaker 3: and look at that clip there we are at the party. 38 00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:05,308 Speaker 3: It's lovely to see you. 39 00:02:05,428 --> 00:02:05,828 Speaker 4: Charlotte. 40 00:02:05,948 --> 00:02:09,388 Speaker 3: Uh, what is one thing you and I had this 41 00:02:09,428 --> 00:02:11,668 Speaker 3: conversation actually right there at that table that we took 42 00:02:11,708 --> 00:02:13,748 Speaker 3: that picture at. What is the one thing that your 43 00:02:13,828 --> 00:02:19,268 Speaker 3: dad didn't know when he brought Dallas football into your family. 44 00:02:19,308 --> 00:02:22,108 Speaker 3: How did you guys navigate that experience because, as you 45 00:02:22,188 --> 00:02:24,788 Speaker 3: said it, you guys were flying blind as a group. 46 00:02:25,828 --> 00:02:28,748 Speaker 4: Yes, you know, I have such a vivid memory of 47 00:02:28,788 --> 00:02:31,228 Speaker 4: that day. You know, they say when traumatic things happened 48 00:02:31,228 --> 00:02:34,588 Speaker 4: to you, you never forget them, and that day was 49 00:02:34,668 --> 00:02:38,188 Speaker 4: one of them. And I just remember him telling us, 50 00:02:38,348 --> 00:02:40,708 Speaker 4: and it really is the only time he has ever 51 00:02:41,068 --> 00:02:45,028 Speaker 4: underestimated something that he has said. And he told us, 52 00:02:45,068 --> 00:02:48,268 Speaker 4: you know, if I do this, this just may change 53 00:02:48,308 --> 00:02:52,028 Speaker 4: our life a little. And then all we went on 54 00:02:52,068 --> 00:02:57,348 Speaker 4: this incredible journey of being involved with this iconic franchise. 55 00:02:57,428 --> 00:03:01,148 Speaker 4: And I think even at that moment, as passionate as 56 00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:04,588 Speaker 4: my dad was about wanting to be involved with the Cowboys, 57 00:03:05,028 --> 00:03:09,628 Speaker 4: that we truly didn't get the magnitude of what we 58 00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:13,228 Speaker 4: were stepping into. And I think, boy, you know, I 59 00:03:13,268 --> 00:03:16,948 Speaker 4: know when I watched the first episode, I was almost 60 00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:21,508 Speaker 4: sick at my stomach and I had a little like DSDH. 61 00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:26,708 Speaker 4: That was like a really really really difficult time. And 62 00:03:27,468 --> 00:03:30,668 Speaker 4: you know, since then, it's like all of these incredible 63 00:03:30,708 --> 00:03:36,188 Speaker 4: opportunities have been cloaked in like dramatic challenge and how 64 00:03:36,468 --> 00:03:39,428 Speaker 4: you know, how we sifted through all all of the 65 00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:42,628 Speaker 4: the rough stuff to bring about what has been so 66 00:03:42,748 --> 00:03:46,748 Speaker 4: positive about this experience. And I think this docu series 67 00:03:46,828 --> 00:03:50,228 Speaker 4: really shows that it takes you back in time, so 68 00:03:50,308 --> 00:03:53,148 Speaker 4: you feel all of the you feel all the hatred, 69 00:03:53,748 --> 00:03:56,788 Speaker 4: you feel, you know, all the passion, which you know, 70 00:03:56,828 --> 00:03:59,908 Speaker 4: oddly enough, it's it's you know, you want people to 71 00:03:59,908 --> 00:04:03,828 Speaker 4: be passionate about Dallas Cowboys. So all the it's love, 72 00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,828 Speaker 4: and it's and it's anger, and it's excitement, and it's 73 00:04:06,868 --> 00:04:10,788 Speaker 4: all these things, and we start day one and revisit 74 00:04:10,868 --> 00:04:11,308 Speaker 4: all of that. 75 00:04:11,868 --> 00:04:15,228 Speaker 7: Hi, Charlotte, I know it's been a tremendous, tremendous journey 76 00:04:15,228 --> 00:04:16,828 Speaker 7: for you and your family. Has been amazing for us 77 00:04:16,828 --> 00:04:18,348 Speaker 7: to see. I know it's different for you guys to 78 00:04:18,428 --> 00:04:21,148 Speaker 7: have lived it. But this piece on Netflix is called 79 00:04:21,148 --> 00:04:24,428 Speaker 7: the Gambler for a reason because Jerry, well, he wasn't 80 00:04:24,468 --> 00:04:27,948 Speaker 7: afraid to take risks outside of buying the team. In 81 00:04:28,028 --> 00:04:30,228 Speaker 7: your eyes, what's the biggest risk that he. 82 00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:33,908 Speaker 4: Took, do you know? I think it's like every day 83 00:04:34,028 --> 00:04:37,188 Speaker 4: has been the risk. First, you know, was the financial 84 00:04:37,268 --> 00:04:41,508 Speaker 4: risk because clearly he didn't really have the revenue to 85 00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:43,508 Speaker 4: back up the purchase. And I think this is what's 86 00:04:43,508 --> 00:04:47,068 Speaker 4: so interesting about the story because I think today's world, 87 00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 4: you see new ownership come in with different leagues, different teams, 88 00:04:51,548 --> 00:04:55,788 Speaker 4: and they have an established you know, success and net 89 00:04:55,828 --> 00:04:57,868 Speaker 4: worth that they're coming in and being a part of 90 00:04:57,908 --> 00:05:01,188 Speaker 4: something that they love. This was very different for us 91 00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:05,388 Speaker 4: because it was everything that we had. There was no 92 00:05:05,548 --> 00:05:08,908 Speaker 4: opportunity for a failure. You had to figure out how 93 00:05:08,948 --> 00:05:12,148 Speaker 4: to make it work, and I think that everyday heartbeat 94 00:05:12,268 --> 00:05:14,708 Speaker 4: of we're losing thirty five thousand dollars a day, we're 95 00:05:14,708 --> 00:05:18,788 Speaker 4: losing this money, how you stop that bleeding? And how 96 00:05:18,788 --> 00:05:22,308 Speaker 4: do we then become successful on the field. And so 97 00:05:22,428 --> 00:05:25,468 Speaker 4: both of those were running parallel to each other, so 98 00:05:25,548 --> 00:05:29,148 Speaker 4: feeling kind of that drama of every day. So every 99 00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:32,868 Speaker 4: decision was a risk. So buying the team was a risk. 100 00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:38,348 Speaker 4: Trading Hershel Walker was a risk. Carrie Johnson was a risk. 101 00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:41,428 Speaker 4: I mean, he had never coached in the NFL, and here, 102 00:05:41,628 --> 00:05:44,508 Speaker 4: you know, he dropped in to this situation. So it 103 00:05:44,628 --> 00:05:49,308 Speaker 4: was almost like every single decision that was made was risky. 104 00:05:50,948 --> 00:05:53,268 Speaker 8: That's such a great answer, and I totally buy into it, 105 00:05:53,588 --> 00:05:55,668 Speaker 8: you know, Charlotte. I had this experience recently where I 106 00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:57,788 Speaker 8: got to sit with Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin and 107 00:05:57,868 --> 00:06:00,068 Speaker 8: watch one of the old games from the nineties together, 108 00:06:00,308 --> 00:06:02,188 Speaker 8: And this was from the ninety five season in which 109 00:06:02,188 --> 00:06:04,788 Speaker 8: Barry Switzer was the coach, and yet I found that 110 00:06:04,908 --> 00:06:09,148 Speaker 8: Emma and Earth just constantly kept saying Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. 111 00:06:09,428 --> 00:06:11,628 Speaker 8: It felt in so many ways like he had such 112 00:06:11,668 --> 00:06:14,988 Speaker 8: a looming presence over the organization. It's a big part 113 00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:17,828 Speaker 8: of the documentary. Of course, when you look back at 114 00:06:17,868 --> 00:06:20,148 Speaker 8: Jimmy Johnson at his time with the Cowboys and the 115 00:06:20,308 --> 00:06:22,668 Speaker 8: end of it, what do you remember. 116 00:06:23,388 --> 00:06:26,108 Speaker 4: Oh boy, I remember that We all we could think 117 00:06:26,108 --> 00:06:29,188 Speaker 4: of is well, thank goodness, we've got Jimmy, he can 118 00:06:29,228 --> 00:06:31,628 Speaker 4: get it here. It help us figure out how, you know, 119 00:06:31,988 --> 00:06:34,668 Speaker 4: what we're doing and what is happening. And there were 120 00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:38,508 Speaker 4: so many parts of the story back then of the 121 00:06:38,548 --> 00:06:42,548 Speaker 4: puzzle because the game was very, very different back then. 122 00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:45,508 Speaker 4: You know, there was there was no free agency, the 123 00:06:46,148 --> 00:06:48,748 Speaker 4: draft was different. You know, how you acquired players were 124 00:06:48,748 --> 00:06:51,348 Speaker 4: different there, you know, just there there was no cap, 125 00:06:51,548 --> 00:06:55,268 Speaker 4: you know, all those things, and then actually turning around 126 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:59,268 Speaker 4: to make the players be successful, how could you do that? 127 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:02,068 Speaker 4: And who who was going to actually be on the field, 128 00:07:02,548 --> 00:07:05,068 Speaker 4: all of those decisions. You know, you were just so 129 00:07:05,148 --> 00:07:09,348 Speaker 4: grateful that someone was equally as passionate as you were 130 00:07:09,868 --> 00:07:12,948 Speaker 4: about what we were doing. And you know, every step 131 00:07:13,068 --> 00:07:16,948 Speaker 4: was filled with such controversy that you know, when Jimmy 132 00:07:17,028 --> 00:07:21,508 Speaker 4: came in, we were all fighting the controversy together, and 133 00:07:21,588 --> 00:07:24,908 Speaker 4: so he was being heavily criticized. My father was being 134 00:07:24,948 --> 00:07:29,548 Speaker 4: heavily criticized everything we did had that scrutiny to it, 135 00:07:29,748 --> 00:07:32,988 Speaker 4: and you know, you want people to be passionate about 136 00:07:33,028 --> 00:07:37,188 Speaker 4: what you do. But man, were they passionate about all 137 00:07:37,228 --> 00:07:40,148 Speaker 4: of it? And we enjoy that, you know today. I 138 00:07:40,188 --> 00:07:42,188 Speaker 4: mean that's kind of the you know, you don't get 139 00:07:42,308 --> 00:07:47,268 Speaker 4: here without challenge, and that's that's also an added motivation. 140 00:07:47,468 --> 00:07:52,308 Speaker 9: I think, Hey, Charlotte, look, I was lucky enough to 141 00:07:52,308 --> 00:07:55,268 Speaker 9: be a cowboy in nineteen ninety four and one of 142 00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:58,188 Speaker 9: the best years of my life. First class organization all 143 00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:01,228 Speaker 9: the way, and trust me, coming from Detroit, no disrespect, 144 00:08:01,588 --> 00:08:06,708 Speaker 9: it was night and day. But during that time there 145 00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:10,188 Speaker 9: were larger than life personalities on that team. Michael Troy 146 00:08:10,428 --> 00:08:14,228 Speaker 9: Emmett you mentioned, Jimmy, how did your dad handle all 147 00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:15,308 Speaker 9: of those personalities? 148 00:08:16,668 --> 00:08:19,508 Speaker 4: I'll have to say this. When we were watching this 149 00:08:19,868 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 4: come about and they would send us the episode, we 150 00:08:24,228 --> 00:08:25,828 Speaker 4: got to the end of one of them and my 151 00:08:25,908 --> 00:08:29,708 Speaker 4: dad looked at me and he goes, man, I forgot 152 00:08:29,948 --> 00:08:33,508 Speaker 4: how big of a challenge. 153 00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:35,028 Speaker 7: You know. 154 00:08:35,068 --> 00:08:37,908 Speaker 4: We were seeing things for the first time too as 155 00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:40,788 Speaker 4: they hit in this episode, and things we did not remember, 156 00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:43,748 Speaker 4: things that you chose to forget, you know, all of 157 00:08:43,788 --> 00:08:46,588 Speaker 4: those things that were wrapped up in this it's like 158 00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:49,428 Speaker 4: peeling the onion back and remembering, like, oh my gosh, 159 00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:52,268 Speaker 4: that really was going on at the same time, all 160 00:08:52,308 --> 00:08:54,868 Speaker 4: of this was happening. And I think, you know what's 161 00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:59,228 Speaker 4: super interesting about this and is for everybody to kind 162 00:08:59,228 --> 00:09:02,988 Speaker 4: of decipher, is, you know, every team has a character 163 00:09:03,148 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 4: on their team, and the fact that these characters and 164 00:09:07,788 --> 00:09:12,388 Speaker 4: these teams became larger than live it's like, how how 165 00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:16,268 Speaker 4: did that actually happen? And that you know, the tag 166 00:09:16,308 --> 00:09:20,468 Speaker 4: of America's team came around back for Roger stahlback. You know, 167 00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:22,948 Speaker 4: I feel like everybody was just trying to keep up 168 00:09:22,988 --> 00:09:27,148 Speaker 4: with the tradition of what the Cowboys did for and 169 00:09:27,188 --> 00:09:31,068 Speaker 4: then they had this incredible spotlight, so everything they did 170 00:09:31,628 --> 00:09:34,868 Speaker 4: was under a microscope. Thank goodness, we didn't have any 171 00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,748 Speaker 4: social media effect. I don't think you have the team 172 00:09:37,748 --> 00:09:42,588 Speaker 4: would have on social media. So you think about, you know, 173 00:09:42,668 --> 00:09:45,068 Speaker 4: all these clips that we were seeing of old news 174 00:09:45,068 --> 00:09:48,188 Speaker 4: clips that are in this documentary, we didn't even see 175 00:09:48,228 --> 00:09:50,668 Speaker 4: all of that because unless you were sitting in front 176 00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:53,788 Speaker 4: of the television, you missed it. Sure, unless you got 177 00:09:53,788 --> 00:09:56,748 Speaker 4: that paper, you missed it. And so for it all 178 00:09:56,828 --> 00:09:59,148 Speaker 4: to come back and to be kind of piled on 179 00:09:59,188 --> 00:10:03,708 Speaker 4: top of each other. It's been a journey to watch 180 00:10:03,748 --> 00:10:07,908 Speaker 4: it again but also realize, like, man, we survived that. 181 00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:12,628 Speaker 8: Yes, it is incredible. I've been able to see some 182 00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:15,388 Speaker 8: of it and I was immediately just drawn in. I 183 00:10:15,508 --> 00:10:18,308 Speaker 8: just put the remote down and watch. It's fantastic part 184 00:10:18,308 --> 00:10:21,628 Speaker 8: of the intrigue Charlotte, and it's part of the drama 185 00:10:21,748 --> 00:10:26,668 Speaker 8: over the decades sometimes manifests in these contractual standoffs with 186 00:10:26,708 --> 00:10:29,268 Speaker 8: star players. I remember all the way back to EMMITTT. 187 00:10:29,268 --> 00:10:31,748 Speaker 8: Smith missing games, and it's just part of what happens 188 00:10:31,748 --> 00:10:34,428 Speaker 8: with the company that brings us to Micah Parsons. 189 00:10:34,508 --> 00:10:34,788 Speaker 4: Now. 190 00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:37,468 Speaker 8: A lot of fans look at something like this and 191 00:10:37,508 --> 00:10:40,068 Speaker 8: they roll their eyes, some of them laugh, and some 192 00:10:40,148 --> 00:10:43,468 Speaker 8: of them say, oh, Jerry loves this stuff. He does 193 00:10:43,508 --> 00:10:45,828 Speaker 8: it part of for the attention. That's how they feel 194 00:10:45,868 --> 00:10:48,988 Speaker 8: about it. How do you feel about Micah and just 195 00:10:49,108 --> 00:10:54,148 Speaker 8: this Cowboys contractual standoff thing that happens all the time? 196 00:10:54,188 --> 00:10:57,188 Speaker 4: It seems you know, it does happen all the time. 197 00:10:57,308 --> 00:11:01,108 Speaker 4: And then again, I think that's a testament to people's 198 00:11:01,148 --> 00:11:05,748 Speaker 4: interest that whatever we are doing, there are other contract 199 00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:09,148 Speaker 4: holds outs. You know, across the league. Everyone deals with 200 00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:13,388 Speaker 4: the same issue. We just happen to be on this 201 00:11:13,628 --> 00:11:17,988 Speaker 4: stage of interest that is more magnified than most. So 202 00:11:18,588 --> 00:11:23,188 Speaker 4: every little hiccup, every little sneeze is blown up and 203 00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:26,428 Speaker 4: blown out of proportion, and you know, discussed at a 204 00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:30,228 Speaker 4: level that it's probably you know, above and beyond where 205 00:11:30,268 --> 00:11:33,868 Speaker 4: most teams experience it. And so for me, as I 206 00:11:33,908 --> 00:11:36,788 Speaker 4: sit back and look at it, I think we've developed 207 00:11:36,788 --> 00:11:39,588 Speaker 4: over time the ability to kind of tune out the 208 00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:43,668 Speaker 4: noise and just focus on, you know, the issue at hand. 209 00:11:44,108 --> 00:11:47,508 Speaker 4: And obviously, you know, everybody wants this to be over with, 210 00:11:47,828 --> 00:11:51,388 Speaker 4: everybody wants to just play the game. But there is 211 00:11:51,548 --> 00:11:55,508 Speaker 4: a part of this that is unavoidable, and that's with 212 00:11:55,628 --> 00:11:59,148 Speaker 4: any kind of contract negotiation. And I do think that 213 00:11:59,748 --> 00:12:02,988 Speaker 4: you know, we have, you know, this incredible roster of talent. 214 00:12:03,588 --> 00:12:07,668 Speaker 4: They're at a very high level, they are being compensated 215 00:12:07,668 --> 00:12:09,388 Speaker 4: at a very high level, and at the end of 216 00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:12,988 Speaker 4: the day, you realize that when the pie is gone, 217 00:12:13,028 --> 00:12:16,348 Speaker 4: there's nothing left. So how do you spread that around 218 00:12:16,388 --> 00:12:18,988 Speaker 4: to all the talent that you have? And at some 219 00:12:19,108 --> 00:12:22,788 Speaker 4: point that becomes you know, the iceberg that's right there, 220 00:12:23,068 --> 00:12:26,348 Speaker 4: that is creates the tension, and how do you divvy 221 00:12:26,388 --> 00:12:29,348 Speaker 4: that up and there's you know, I think it's just 222 00:12:29,428 --> 00:12:31,548 Speaker 4: part of the game. I think it's the business part 223 00:12:31,548 --> 00:12:36,468 Speaker 4: of the game that fans don't enjoy, but the ability 224 00:12:36,548 --> 00:12:39,228 Speaker 4: to like feed in and want to be Everybody wants 225 00:12:39,228 --> 00:12:41,588 Speaker 4: to be a Monday Morning quarterback, but they also want 226 00:12:41,588 --> 00:12:45,068 Speaker 4: to be a Monday Morning GM and they know you 227 00:12:45,108 --> 00:12:47,548 Speaker 4: know everything and this is this is part of it. 228 00:12:47,628 --> 00:12:50,148 Speaker 4: This is this is life, This is life in the NFL. 229 00:12:50,468 --> 00:12:52,988 Speaker 3: Well, Charlotte, I think if I were you, I could 230 00:12:53,028 --> 00:12:55,308 Speaker 3: not be more proud of my title with this team 231 00:12:55,388 --> 00:12:57,548 Speaker 3: because as a brand, it is one of the most 232 00:12:57,628 --> 00:13:00,628 Speaker 3: notorious in sports and in the country and the world, 233 00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:02,988 Speaker 3: and that as the chief brand officer.

This is a great 247 00:13:54,388 --> 00:13:55,668 Speaker 3: night for Caleb Williams. 248 00:13:56,028 --> 00:13:56,308 Speaker 7: Kyle. 249 00:13:56,428 --> 00:13:58,988 Speaker 3: I did have just had to do my own Olamide 250 00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:02,668 Speaker 3: Zikias from Virginia just to make sure I understood the 251 00:14:02,828 --> 00:14:04,988 Speaker 3: history for that player. And we all know ky Wi Williams 252 00:14:04,908 --> 00:14:07,708 Speaker 3: from USC didn't suit up week one of the preseason. 253 00:14:08,028 --> 00:14:09,388 Speaker 4: Well week two he did. 254 00:14:09,508 --> 00:14:11,708 Speaker 3: And I got to go to Rodney first because I 255 00:14:11,868 --> 00:14:15,228 Speaker 3: just said uttered USC and immediately you're just like I 256 00:14:15,268 --> 00:14:16,508 Speaker 3: got to talk about kill Williams. 257 00:14:16,868 --> 00:14:19,548 Speaker 9: Would Jake Man Tai here too. 258 00:14:19,628 --> 00:14:24,188 Speaker 3: You can look to your right. 259 00:14:24,708 --> 00:14:29,548 Speaker 9: Can't help me involuntary responses. What I have here. I 260 00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:31,988 Speaker 9: thought it was fantastic. I'm with you, Kyle. Not quite 261 00:14:32,028 --> 00:14:34,628 Speaker 9: to the Super Bowl parade yet, but I love the 262 00:14:34,668 --> 00:14:39,388 Speaker 9: fact that he was on time, in rhythm, and because 263 00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:41,468 Speaker 9: that was enough right that he held the ball too long. 264 00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:44,188 Speaker 9: I can mentioned sack sixty four times last year, most 265 00:14:44,228 --> 00:14:46,988 Speaker 9: in the NFL, but every throw was in rhythm. He 266 00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:49,108 Speaker 9: hit the back put he let it go. He looked 267 00:14:49,228 --> 00:14:52,908 Speaker 9: very comfortable, very comfortable in the pocket, and you know, 268 00:14:53,028 --> 00:14:55,388 Speaker 9: there was a tremendous amount of pressure on him to 269 00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:58,108 Speaker 9: start this game, given all the talk in the training 270 00:14:58,148 --> 00:15:01,828 Speaker 9: camp and him not performing well throwing interceptions and all 271 00:15:01,868 --> 00:15:04,148 Speaker 9: those things. But to come out firing on that first 272 00:15:04,188 --> 00:15:06,508 Speaker 9: d like he did, I thought it was fantastic. 273 00:15:06,748 --> 00:15:09,188 Speaker 7: Yeah, Brodney, I think it was fantastic, not only by him, 274 00:15:09,188 --> 00:15:11,548 Speaker 7: but by Ben Johnson. You started to see this system 275 00:15:11,588 --> 00:15:14,748 Speaker 7: implemented that Ben Johnson wants to run with him. To 276 00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:16,868 Speaker 7: your point, you said the ball came out when his 277 00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:19,788 Speaker 7: back foot hit the grass. That's something that's different from 278 00:15:19,868 --> 00:15:22,628 Speaker 7: last year. I think last year they were requiring him 279 00:15:22,668 --> 00:15:25,548 Speaker 7: to go through a progression that it wasn't set up 280 00:15:25,548 --> 00:15:28,388 Speaker 7: where this year, when I looked at the plays, all 281 00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,788 Speaker 7: of his progression was in his line of sight. Like 282 00:15:30,788 --> 00:15:33,028 Speaker 7: his first rd, his secondary and his third read were 283 00:15:33,068 --> 00:15:35,348 Speaker 7: all in the same area. So it made it simple 284 00:15:35,428 --> 00:15:38,348 Speaker 7: for him to be able to execute. For the Chicago Bears, 285 00:15:38,628 --> 00:15:40,388 Speaker 7: I did think that it was a little early. I 286 00:15:40,388 --> 00:15:43,428 Speaker 7: thought they pulled them a little early. I thought, if anything, 287 00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:45,348 Speaker 7: they would have pulled them after the first drive where 288 00:15:45,348 --> 00:15:47,908 Speaker 7: they drove down there and scored that touchdown. Now the 289 00:15:47,908 --> 00:15:51,228 Speaker 7: second drive they go six plays and a punt. I 290 00:15:51,308 --> 00:15:53,908 Speaker 7: expected him to come back out just so that they 291 00:15:53,948 --> 00:15:57,468 Speaker 7: could finish on a more positive note. But what I 292 00:15:57,468 --> 00:15:59,428 Speaker 7: did see from that Bears offense was this, like you 293 00:15:59,468 --> 00:16:02,188 Speaker 7: saw in the highlight that KB talked about, there's a 294 00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:05,508 Speaker 7: lot of tight end utilage there. Tight end usage like 295 00:16:05,548 --> 00:16:08,188 Speaker 7: it was just comet and the guy from Michigan disty. 296 00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:09,108 Speaker 8: You see guy here? 297 00:16:12,948 --> 00:16:17,108 Speaker 7: What are we talking about on Well, it was warm 298 00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:19,188 Speaker 7: and fuzzy for the Chicago Bears, that's for sure. And 299 00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:22,148 Speaker 7: I really thought that the way that Ben Johnson had 300 00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:25,268 Speaker 7: this offense, just how quick it was. There was a 301 00:16:25,308 --> 00:16:27,668 Speaker 7: pace from when they broke the huddle. There was an 302 00:16:27,788 --> 00:16:29,988 Speaker 7: urgency to get to the line of scrimmage. There wasn't 303 00:16:30,028 --> 00:16:32,588 Speaker 7: any kind of shuffling around. There was a system to it, 304 00:16:32,628 --> 00:16:35,588 Speaker 7: and I really liked it. KB listen mantis all over it. 305 00:16:35,668 --> 00:16:38,108 Speaker 7: So if you didn't watch the game, Caleb played two drives. 306 00:16:38,268 --> 00:16:40,668 Speaker 7: The second one ended prematurely, at least for Bears fans, 307 00:16:41,108 --> 00:16:43,068 Speaker 7: not in no small parts of the fact that Roma 308 00:16:43,148 --> 00:16:45,108 Speaker 7: Dunes they had a big drop on the far sideline, 309 00:16:45,148 --> 00:16:48,508 Speaker 7: a drop that Caleb took responsibility for even though we all. 310 00:16:48,428 --> 00:16:50,308 Speaker 1: Know that wasn't true, which is fine. 311 00:16:50,508 --> 00:16:53,548 Speaker 8: The headline here is Caleb and Ben Johnson look smooth, 312 00:16:53,588 --> 00:16:54,548 Speaker 8: They look efficient, they. 313 00:16:54,428 --> 00:16:55,668 Speaker 1: Look comfortable, they looked good. 314 00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:58,228 Speaker 8: Let's let's put this in proper context. This is the 315 00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:01,748 Speaker 8: first time Caleb has ever played on an NFL field 316 00:17:01,868 --> 00:17:05,268 Speaker 8: without an interim coach or an ill suited coach with 317 00:17:05,348 --> 00:17:07,588 Speaker 8: like a proper coach to his skills. The last time 318 00:17:07,588 --> 00:17:09,908 Speaker 8: he played a game, it was seven months ago. He 319 00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:12,948 Speaker 8: was with his third coordinator, his second head coach. He's 320 00:17:12,988 --> 00:17:15,708 Speaker 8: in Lambeau Field, winning, by the way, but this has 321 00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:19,148 Speaker 8: been a long time coming. And listen, he hit both 322 00:17:19,188 --> 00:17:20,828 Speaker 8: tight ends. He hit the wide receivers. He hit the 323 00:17:20,828 --> 00:17:23,028 Speaker 8: wide receiver one, went to the wide receiver, two, went 324 00:17:23,068 --> 00:17:25,228 Speaker 8: to wide receiver three. It's something you can need. 325 00:17:25,428 --> 00:17:26,108 Speaker 4: It was smooth. 326 00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:29,308 Speaker 8: Getting the play in and out of the huddle was smooth. 327 00:17:29,388 --> 00:17:31,868 Speaker 8: Everything was on time. They're trotting up to the line 328 00:17:31,868 --> 00:17:33,908 Speaker 8: of scrimmage with tons of time on the play clock, 329 00:17:34,308 --> 00:17:37,508 Speaker 8: and some of you winning teams, winning fans of winning 330 00:17:37,508 --> 00:17:39,628 Speaker 8: teams are like, what the heck? They get the playout 331 00:17:39,668 --> 00:17:42,308 Speaker 8: on time. Yes, it's a big deal that the Bear's 332 00:17:42,308 --> 00:17:45,708 Speaker 8: got the playout on time. Give them credit. It's baby steps. 333 00:17:45,908 --> 00:17:48,508 Speaker 8: You gotta crawl before you can run, and he definitely 334 00:17:48,588 --> 00:17:51,108 Speaker 8: crawled yesterday. Now listen, I will say this. 335 00:17:51,148 --> 00:17:52,028 Speaker 2: For Bills fans. 336 00:17:52,428 --> 00:17:55,428 Speaker 8: There was nobody really out there, say for maybe two 337 00:17:55,548 --> 00:17:58,068 Speaker 8: or three guys out of twenty two, who are guys 338 00:17:58,108 --> 00:18:00,228 Speaker 8: who are gonna matter for the Bills this year? Sean 339 00:18:00,308 --> 00:18:03,868 Speaker 8: McDermott did not play really anybody on offense, on defense, 340 00:18:04,668 --> 00:18:07,508 Speaker 8: true true backups that the Bears ones we're going against. 341 00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:09,668 Speaker 8: So that's why I was thirty eight to nothing. None 342 00:18:09,668 --> 00:18:12,188 Speaker 8: of us care about the score. We care about what 343 00:18:12,228 --> 00:18:15,068 Speaker 8: we're watching right here. And I will end by saying, 344 00:18:16,028 --> 00:18:19,428 Speaker 8: there's this person out there, this character in the preseason 345 00:18:19,908 --> 00:18:23,588 Speaker 8: who is who will just scrooge anything positive or happy 346 00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:25,268 Speaker 8: that you have to say about what happens on a 347 00:18:25,268 --> 00:18:28,428 Speaker 8: football field. It's such an annoying Internet character because for 348 00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:30,908 Speaker 8: that person, this is the same person who's making fun 349 00:18:30,908 --> 00:18:33,628 Speaker 8: of Caleb a few weeks ago. Understand the laws right 350 00:18:33,628 --> 00:18:36,548 Speaker 8: now in the NFL preseason August twenty twenty five, if 351 00:18:36,588 --> 00:18:40,868 Speaker 8: someone doesn't look great in practice, they're a bust. But 352 00:18:40,988 --> 00:18:44,308 Speaker 8: if someone makes plays in an actual preseason. 353 00:18:43,828 --> 00:18:45,428 Speaker 2: Game, whoa chill out. 354 00:18:45,468 --> 00:18:48,788 Speaker 8: It's just preseason. It means nothing. Learn ball. This is useless. 355 00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:51,868 Speaker 8: You gotta pick one. You can't have both. I know 356 00:18:51,908 --> 00:18:54,908 Speaker 8: you want to, but you can't. Caleb looks smooth. The 357 00:18:54,948 --> 00:18:57,148 Speaker 8: Bears look fine. We'll see how they look on that 358 00:18:57,188 --> 00:18:59,428 Speaker 8: same field opening night against the Vikings. 359 00:18:59,468 --> 00:19:02,108 Speaker 3: Well, Kyle, to your point, Caleb Williams rose to the occasion. 360 00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:04,868 Speaker 3: Whatever standard in which you set upon the ok that 361 00:19:04,988 --> 00:19:06,508 Speaker 3: is preseason football brought me. 362 00:19:06,548 --> 00:19:07,028 Speaker 4: I'll ask you. 363 00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:11,028 Speaker 3: We were spending time last week on in inspecting the 364 00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:12,908 Speaker 3: things that Ben Johnson was saying about what he had 365 00:19:12,948 --> 00:19:15,068 Speaker 3: put forth in front of Cale Williams, which is I 366 00:19:15,148 --> 00:19:16,868 Speaker 3: am going to load him up. I'm going to put 367 00:19:16,868 --> 00:19:18,388 Speaker 3: a lot of things on him. I really want to 368 00:19:18,388 --> 00:19:20,148 Speaker 3: make challenge him to see what he can do with 369 00:19:20,228 --> 00:19:22,148 Speaker 3: that in terms of his skill set. What did you 370 00:19:22,268 --> 00:19:24,988 Speaker 3: make of the responsibility that this new head coach, first 371 00:19:25,028 --> 00:19:27,788 Speaker 3: time head coach, has put on this quarterback and the 372 00:19:27,788 --> 00:19:29,268 Speaker 3: way that Cale Williams has responded. 373 00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:31,668 Speaker 9: I thought it was a good thing because you got 374 00:19:31,668 --> 00:19:33,468 Speaker 9: to find out what he can do. You got to 375 00:19:33,468 --> 00:19:37,588 Speaker 9: find out what his capacity is to load and decipher information, 376 00:19:38,148 --> 00:19:42,348 Speaker 9: and to put that much on him early on it 377 00:19:42,428 --> 00:19:45,148 Speaker 9: makes sense because Caleb's got a world of talent. We 378 00:19:45,188 --> 00:19:48,028 Speaker 9: all saw that at SC and then his first year 379 00:19:48,028 --> 00:19:49,828 Speaker 9: he struggled, and I think he got into a little 380 00:19:49,868 --> 00:19:52,068 Speaker 9: bit of bad habits. Yeah, his last year at USC, 381 00:19:52,428 --> 00:19:54,068 Speaker 9: tried to play a little bit of hero ball and 382 00:19:54,108 --> 00:19:55,868 Speaker 9: trying to do too much and holding the ball a 383 00:19:55,908 --> 00:19:58,708 Speaker 9: little longer. That doesn't work in the NFL. We saw 384 00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:00,868 Speaker 9: last year in his rookie season and ended up with 385 00:20:00,948 --> 00:20:03,748 Speaker 9: sixty plus sacks. So I thought it was good. And 386 00:20:03,788 --> 00:20:07,308 Speaker 9: Ben Johnson, he's he's quarterback friendly, as we like to 387 00:20:07,348 --> 00:20:09,388 Speaker 9: say as quarterbacks. He really is. Yeah. 388 00:20:09,548 --> 00:20:11,548 Speaker 7: You talked about those those habits, and this is what 389 00:20:11,588 --> 00:20:13,588 Speaker 7: I talked about as well when you watch Caleb, and 390 00:20:13,628 --> 00:20:15,788 Speaker 7: I thought that it was going to be a challenge 391 00:20:15,788 --> 00:20:18,268 Speaker 7: for Ben Johnson. Probably the most important challenge is trying 392 00:20:18,268 --> 00:20:21,628 Speaker 7: to reprogram Caleb like somebody who has all of that talent, 393 00:20:22,348 --> 00:20:26,228 Speaker 7: arm talent, smart can add lib on the run when 394 00:20:26,228 --> 00:20:28,348 Speaker 7: you get set, when you get sack sixty eight times, 395 00:20:28,388 --> 00:20:31,068 Speaker 7: and you get into this habit of trying to run 396 00:20:31,108 --> 00:20:34,148 Speaker 7: around and extend plays that Ben Johnson had to come 397 00:20:34,148 --> 00:20:36,988 Speaker 7: into the locker room and say, hey, like take the 398 00:20:37,028 --> 00:20:39,428 Speaker 7: first read if the read is throw it away. Like, 399 00:20:39,548 --> 00:20:41,988 Speaker 7: just get him on a system and on a pace 400 00:20:42,028 --> 00:20:45,148 Speaker 7: where he can just be on point. There's no there's 401 00:20:45,188 --> 00:20:48,268 Speaker 7: no need to run around, there's no need to extend plays. 402 00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:50,628 Speaker 7: Just get the ball to the receiver. If it's not there, 403 00:20:50,748 --> 00:20:53,828 Speaker 7: throw it away. And I thought that Caleb really demonstrated 404 00:20:53,868 --> 00:20:55,028 Speaker 7: that last night. 405 00:20:55,468 --> 00:20:58,388 Speaker 8: I think one of the most the most amusing observations 406 00:20:58,388 --> 00:21:01,948 Speaker 8: from Bears Twitter last night is that Ben Johnson is 407 00:21:01,988 --> 00:21:04,788 Speaker 8: some sort of sociopath. He's up thirty eight to nothing 408 00:21:04,828 --> 00:21:07,068 Speaker 8: at home and he's not even smiling, like on the 409 00:21:07,108 --> 00:21:11,228 Speaker 8: cutaways of him on the sideline are dead serious, no levity, 410 00:21:11,428 --> 00:21:13,988 Speaker 8: no relief whatsoever. Let's remember, like we're talking so much 411 00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:17,308 Speaker 8: about Caleb, Caleb is way more experienced at his job 412 00:21:17,308 --> 00:21:19,668 Speaker 8: than Ben Johnson, isn't his Caleb has a year under 413 00:21:19,668 --> 00:21:24,388 Speaker 8: his belt. This was like positively, this look was amused. 414 00:21:24,788 --> 00:21:27,068 Speaker 8: This was like one of his most happiest looks we 415 00:21:27,108 --> 00:21:30,548 Speaker 8: saw at thirty eight to nothing. Ben Johnson has never 416 00:21:30,588 --> 00:21:33,028 Speaker 8: called plays during a game. To Caleb, he's never been 417 00:21:33,068 --> 00:21:35,628 Speaker 8: the head coach. Saved for a preseason game last week, 418 00:21:35,868 --> 00:21:37,588 Speaker 8: and I thought what Caleb said after the game was 419 00:21:37,628 --> 00:21:40,628 Speaker 8: really interesting. All the Bears media was asking him what 420 00:21:40,748 --> 00:21:42,948 Speaker 8: was coach Johnson like during the game, what was he like? 421 00:21:43,188 --> 00:21:46,868 Speaker 8: And Caleb said, he's way calmer during the games than 422 00:21:46,868 --> 00:21:48,788 Speaker 8: he is during practice when he's on to me in 423 00:21:48,788 --> 00:21:51,268 Speaker 8: the headset. In practice, it's a lot of yelling and 424 00:21:51,508 --> 00:21:54,748 Speaker 8: volume and energy. In the game, it was just smooth 425 00:21:55,268 --> 00:21:56,148 Speaker 8: and calm. 426 00:21:56,308 --> 00:21:57,188 Speaker 1: That is unusual. 427 00:21:57,388 --> 00:21:59,428 Speaker 8: He should be amped. He's in front of the home crowd, 428 00:21:59,468 --> 00:22:01,828 Speaker 8: He's got Caleb out there. I think this is a 429 00:22:01,828 --> 00:22:04,308 Speaker 8: different kind of guy. Will it work or not, we'll see. 430 00:22:04,748 --> 00:22:08,108 Speaker 8: But he does have that like my pulse doesn't bounce. 431 00:22:08,428 --> 00:22:10,868 Speaker 8: A fly could land on my eyeball, and when Caleb's 432 00:22:10,868 --> 00:22:12,268 Speaker 8: out there, I'm not even gonna blink. 433 00:22:12,428 --> 00:22:13,028 Speaker 1: I like that. 434 00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:15,188 Speaker 8: It's icy as hell, and I think there's going to 435 00:22:15,228 --> 00:22:15,828 Speaker 8: be more of a coming. 436 00:22:21,148 --> 00:22:32,548 Speaker 2: Good moan football, Good moaning football. 437 00:22:33,868 --> 00:22:38,188 Speaker 3: Back on GMFB. This was really really special news. Yesterday, 438 00:22:38,228 --> 00:22:42,068 Speaker 3: Tyson Beagent signs a two year, ten million dollar contract 439 00:22:42,108 --> 00:22:46,348 Speaker 3: extension with the Chicago Bears. He has been a presence 440 00:22:46,508 --> 00:22:49,628 Speaker 3: in the quarterback room for the Bears. This keeps Pagent 441 00:22:49,708 --> 00:22:53,188 Speaker 3: in Chicago through twenty twenty seven. This, of course, according 442 00:22:53,228 --> 00:22:57,028 Speaker 3: to rap Sheet, Tyson Beagent comes to the NFL a 443 00:22:57,028 --> 00:23:00,748 Speaker 3: couple of years back from division to Shepherd University, which 444 00:23:00,788 --> 00:23:04,908 Speaker 3: means that achieving this in his young career is something 445 00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:06,388 Speaker 3: that took some emotion. 446 00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:15,108 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that, you know, a lot of people 447 00:23:15,148 --> 00:23:16,948 Speaker 6: don't know this, but you know, my dad is my 448 00:23:19,028 --> 00:23:22,148 Speaker 6: he's my right hand man, and he didn't he didn't 449 00:23:22,228 --> 00:23:24,148 Speaker 6: have running water until he was in high school. So 450 00:23:27,588 --> 00:23:30,548 Speaker 6: there's definitely a lot of things that and people that 451 00:23:30,588 --> 00:23:34,028 Speaker 6: I could that I think I could certainly help with 452 00:23:34,108 --> 00:23:36,908 Speaker 6: this gift I've been blessed with. But yeah, just little 453 00:23:36,908 --> 00:23:38,588 Speaker 6: things like that. But you know, I don't really know 454 00:23:38,588 --> 00:23:39,948 Speaker 6: anybody back at home with any money. 455 00:23:39,988 --> 00:23:43,308 Speaker 4: So yeah, it feels good. 456 00:23:43,348 --> 00:23:46,908 Speaker 6: I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and 457 00:23:46,988 --> 00:23:50,388 Speaker 6: my family's shoulders, and yeah, it definitely means a lot. 458 00:23:52,468 --> 00:23:56,708 Speaker 3: First of all, congratulations to Tyson and his family. Incredible 459 00:23:56,708 --> 00:24:00,588 Speaker 3: emotion behind a true career accomplishment. Kyle, Uh, this one 460 00:24:00,908 --> 00:24:03,268 Speaker 3: hits with us because this kid is a front of 461 00:24:03,268 --> 00:24:04,868 Speaker 3: the show, his dad is a front of the show. 462 00:24:04,868 --> 00:24:07,228 Speaker 3: We've loved watching him develop and now the Bears have 463 00:24:07,268 --> 00:24:08,388 Speaker 3: invested in him. 464 00:24:09,868 --> 00:24:11,988 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is what it's all about. 465 00:24:12,068 --> 00:24:15,428 Speaker 8: This is an incredible, incredible football story. If you don't 466 00:24:15,468 --> 00:24:18,868 Speaker 8: care about the Bears backup quarterback. This is the human being, 467 00:24:19,108 --> 00:24:22,828 Speaker 8: all right. Grew up oldest of four children, very very poor. 468 00:24:22,868 --> 00:24:27,588 Speaker 8: As you just mentioned there sometimes West Virginia, no big 469 00:24:27,628 --> 00:24:31,268 Speaker 8: time college offers, goes FCS recruiting, goes to Shepherd University 470 00:24:31,308 --> 00:24:34,988 Speaker 8: in West Virginia. Makes the Bears roster in the final 471 00:24:35,028 --> 00:24:37,508 Speaker 8: fifty three as a rookie fights his way up to 472 00:24:37,588 --> 00:24:40,148 Speaker 8: second string in his first ever career start. When Justin 473 00:24:40,188 --> 00:24:43,788 Speaker 8: Fields got hurt, he won. Bears quarterbacks don't do that. 474 00:24:44,348 --> 00:24:45,988 Speaker 8: And the party was supposed to be over because then 475 00:24:45,988 --> 00:24:49,188 Speaker 8: Ben Johnson comes in. He's this offensive mastermind, Ben Johnson. 476 00:24:49,228 --> 00:24:51,668 Speaker 8: That's not his guy. He wasn't around when the Bears 477 00:24:51,668 --> 00:24:54,188 Speaker 8: brought in Tyson Beajent. Ben Johnson came in and fell 478 00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:56,228 Speaker 8: in love with Tyson Beajen. It's because the way Tyson 479 00:24:56,268 --> 00:24:58,588 Speaker 8: Beagent plays, the way he's been on the field in 480 00:24:58,628 --> 00:25:01,348 Speaker 8: preseason looking like an NFL starter, the way he is 481 00:25:01,388 --> 00:25:03,428 Speaker 8: behind the scenes, the way he works his work ethic. 482 00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:05,668 Speaker 8: It is every the thing you tell your kids about. 483 00:25:05,748 --> 00:25:08,908 Speaker 8: It is everything you love about football. It's a great story. 484 00:25:08,908 --> 00:25:11,988 Speaker 8: It's a great American tale. I cannot be too over 485 00:25:12,028 --> 00:25:13,828 Speaker 8: the top about Tyson Bage and the fact that the 486 00:25:13,828 --> 00:25:16,268 Speaker 8: Bears just signed him. When you have Caleb Williams, the 487 00:25:16,268 --> 00:25:18,548 Speaker 8: guy who's the number one overall, pick out a usc 488 00:25:19,068 --> 00:25:21,508 Speaker 8: nil guy and this could not be more of a 489 00:25:21,548 --> 00:25:24,348 Speaker 8: different person in the room. And when you have Caleb Williams, 490 00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:26,388 Speaker 8: you think you'd want to put some sort of seasoned, 491 00:25:26,468 --> 00:25:29,388 Speaker 8: grizzled veteran as the number two. The Bears like Beijing 492 00:25:29,468 --> 00:25:31,588 Speaker 8: so much, they're like, sign them, we don't want to 493 00:25:31,628 --> 00:25:34,588 Speaker 8: lose them. He's a fantastic asset to us. And I 494 00:25:34,628 --> 00:25:36,348 Speaker 8: just can't say enough. This guy should have been a 495 00:25:36,348 --> 00:25:38,948 Speaker 8: punchline about his father's arm wrestling stuff and we have 496 00:25:39,028 --> 00:25:40,948 Speaker 8: some laughs and I'll never hear from him again. Now 497 00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:43,268 Speaker 8: he has a future, Now he has a story, and 498 00:25:43,788 --> 00:25:45,668 Speaker 8: all of us. He has a really really big fan. 499 00:25:45,748 --> 00:25:49,668 Speaker 8: Tyson beajent awesome, awesome stuff. Very happy for you, absolutely, 500 00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:50,268 Speaker 8: Tyson Bajor. 501 00:25:50,308 --> 00:25:52,668 Speaker 11: Congratulations brother. I'm my feeling when I got to my 502 00:25:52,748 --> 00:25:55,988 Speaker 11: second contract, So congratulation to you and your faily akb. 503 00:25:56,068 --> 00:25:57,468 Speaker 11: You hit it run on the nail man.
