18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: for the people here. I mean, think about it, for

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the people. I mean the look at the you know,

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: not only do we got different groups that we represent here,

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: but we're also I mean we got the we got

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: the sport code, we got the polo, we got we

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: got a hoodie at the top. We got yeah, I

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: mean we oh the relax relax. As I thought she

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: said the Blacks. I was like, the people have one two.

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about the Blacks, but we got one. Yeah.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get into this. We got a

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. Cowboys win yesterday twenty eighth, seventeen,

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: and um, it was I think a sorely needed wind

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: coming out of what happened against Denver. Although it may

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: have started off a little bit shaky and a little

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: bit like, oh, here we go again, they righted and

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: they righted. There we go again. They righted the ship

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: and uh and actually got onto a role there. But

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 1: I don't do is that there were so many different

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: storylines coming out of yesterday. I want to take some

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: time first to go around the table, and I want

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: everybody to start by giving me one thing that stood

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: out to you most from yesterday, whether that's pregame, whether

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: that was in game, what stood out the most? You

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: will start with you Nick, Well, I mean there's a

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: couple of things. I don't want to steal anyone stuff,

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: but you know, it is unfortunate. It's unfortunate that people

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: just don't see what's what's really going on. You know,

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: the fact that that what the Cowboys did, what they

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: did before the game, UM, that that people are losing

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: sight on that they see the kneel and they think

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: that they were kneeling for the national anthem and that

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: they didn't see what they really did. And if whether

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: you're watching it at a sports bar or whatever and

51
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: you didn't hear it, but it's it's your fault if

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna get on social media and attack people and

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: say that you can't believe the Cowboys did this. To

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: get your facts straight on what they did and why

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: they did it before you speak that, and that that's

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: unfortunate because they put a lot of thought thought that

57
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: that actually UM took into their preparation. I mean, let's

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: not forget forty eight hours four game. You're thinking about

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do pre game because it's that important,

60
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: and they went out and delivered it. No, they didn't

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: play well to start the game, but they put a

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: lot of thought into it. Find out what they did

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: and why they did it before they get judged for it.

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: They were the best team in the league this weekend

65
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: at what they did, and they have to because you're

66
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: America's team, and they acted like it. Amber No. I mean,

67
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely impressed by the way they handled this situation.

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: And I know they have been struggling with what they

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: were going to do about this fact and how they

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna go about it, and I'm just absolutely proud

71
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: to see the outcome of this because not only did

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: they go by respecting the flag and the national anthem

73
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: and all that, but they also took a stand and

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: stood side by side with those players that did want

75
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: to protest, you know. So it was good to see

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: them all united because I'm sure there were several there

77
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: are players that may not want to do that, but

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: they still did it. But at the same time respecting

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: anthem and kind of keeping the two things separate and

80
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: not letting the whole presidential and politics kind of talk

81
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: bad about this flag and the honor that it is

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: to be an American. So I loved what they did here, Dave,

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just stuck with football. Then feel feel

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: free to get let's change that. Then, since we kind

85
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: of start on that, why don't you give your give

86
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: us your opinion of the pregame, and then we'll get

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: into some of the football stuff. UM leave it to

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: leave it to Jerry Jones to come up with a

89
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: way to kind of satisfy everybody and kind of think

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: outside the box. Even with all the different um, even

91
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: with all the different demonstrations you saw around the league

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday, he came up with something that clearly nobody

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: else had thought of, where you were able to kind

94
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: of speak your mind about the issue that started this

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: whole thing while still um honoring the national anthem and

96
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: the American which is something that Jerry Jones and Jason

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Garrett have both repeatedly expressed is something that they value

98
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: a lot, something the Cowboys organization values a lot. So

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: they were basically, I mean, they were kind of able

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: to have their cake and eat it too because they

101
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: made a really powerful statement. I mean, you saw a

102
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: lot of NFL owners take part in these demonstrations over

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: the weekend. You didn't see any of them kneel with

104
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: their team in this moment of solidarity before kickoff. And

105
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: then they were still able to, you know, adhere to

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: their core values about the flag and the anthem and

107
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: everything that it stands for. I thought, I'm not going

108
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: to read the whole thing, but Jason Garrett had a

109
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: pretty striking quote last night about how, you know, the

110
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: flag represents two hundred and fifty years of struggle and

111
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: the ideals of you know, the American democracy. You can

112
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: go find on my Twitter timeline if you really want

113
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: to read it. But but you know, they basically didn't

114
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: have to compromise on any of that stuff while still

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: making a statement, and it was impressive that they were

116
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: able to come up with kind of a work around

117
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I thought, UM, I thought there were

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: some pretty important things that happened as a part of that.

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: I think one of them was that UM and Jerry

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this after the game. I think, UM,

121
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: I think they were able to and I'm not quite

122
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: certain yet. I think time will tell, but I think

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: they were able to, UM kind of change the narrative

124
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. I was uncomfortable and at Dave, you

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: and I had this conversation. I think both of us

126
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: were a little bit uncomfortable with how it seems like

127
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: over the last over the last several days, the narrative

128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: of what all the protests was originally about had changed,

129
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: and the narrative had had taken more of a tone

130
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: of either that that it was somehow a something that

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: that was um that was harmful to the flag and

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: represented something that was not respectful of the flag. It

133
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: had taken on a whole Trump thing because it kind

134
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: of got boosted up to another level because of his comments.

135
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: I think that in this way, what it did was

136
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: kind of disarmed those things and said, Okay, well, if

137
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: the flag is the issue that so many people have,

138
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: let's take that part out, like, let's remove that part

139
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: from the discussion, and then let's let's now kind of

140
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: point back to equality, and which the original issue was

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: the fact that there were there were people that Colin

142
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: kaeperni felt like, specifically there were African American people that

143
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: he felt like, we're not being treated justly in a

144
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: lot of different areas, and that was his original protest,

145
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: and it got bastardized because of all these other things.

146
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: And so I like the fact that the way the

147
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys did it kind of disarmed that and moved back

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: away from that. Now did it do enough? I don't know.

149
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: Is it going to really create more of a conversation

150
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: to where people are really talking more about these issues

151
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: and willing to not just talk because we all do

152
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: a good job of talking, but listen and hear what

153
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: other people are saying so that we all can kind

154
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: of learn from one another and improve the conversation, improve

155
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: the dialogue so that we get better as a country.

156
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Like that's still to be seen, but I do like

157
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the fact that it changed the narrative back hopefully to

158
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: kind of what it should have been. Do you think

159
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: it did? I don't know. That's why I said, I

160
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: think this is time will tell. I hope so, because

161
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I think it did disarm at least for the people

162
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: that were not being able to see the issue because

163
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: of the method. This takes the method out of the

164
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: out of the out of the equation, and now let's

165
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: see if they can really hear the issue and deal

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: with the issue. To mister Eatman's point, though, their period

167
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: to still be a lot of people that are pretty

168
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: mad about it, just be for I mean, in my

169
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: personal opinion, for no reason other than that they want

170
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: to be mad. And that may also tell you that

171
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: at least for some of those people, I think some

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: of it is misinformation, But maybe for some of those people,

173
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: it may tell you that they weren't as upset as

174
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: they said about the method. Yeah, they were more upset

175
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: with the idea that these multi millionaire black athletes are

176
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: taking a stand for something that's not about them, it's

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: about somebody else, and and they have a problem with

178
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: that fundamentally. That's well, that's kind of where I sorry,

179
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: but I worry about that aspect of it. Derek and

180
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: I we've known each other for about I don't know,

181
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen years something like that, and uh, probably had

182
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: one of the more deeper conversations we've ever had a

183
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: few hours ago, and you expressed some some things, you know,

184
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you want to get into

185
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: it here, but but you kind of gave your stance

186
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: on some on some things um that I thought were

187
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: really um they were deep, you know, and you were

188
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: talking about what taking a stance will do because because

189
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: what I talked about it in my column, and I

190
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: was really careful with it because I'm like, I feel

191
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: like my platform is to talk about the Cowboys. We

192
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: covered the team. We're here, you know, my platform to

193
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: talk about my opinion, you know, the guys that are listening,

194
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: listening right now, their opinion matter just as much because

195
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: this isn't about football, this is about what your stance is.

196
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: So I'm all careful to kind of almost abuse my platform.

197
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: And I kind of talked about are the players going

198
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: down that road too a little bit? And if we

199
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't mind sharing on some of

200
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: the things that you said, because it really opened my

201
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: eyes to the situation a little bit more, I guess

202
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: the point of it for me, and I really kind

203
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: of came to this as I was thinking about this

204
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I kind of came to this. I

205
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to call it an epiphany

206
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: or not, but I live. For those that don't know me,

207
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: I live a pretty comfortable life. I have a job

208
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: as a pretty high and pretty high profile brand. I

209
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: manage a lot of people. My wife's an attorney, kid

210
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: goes to private school. Like, there's a lot of things

211
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: about my life that suggests that I don't have to

212
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: worry about a lot of things, right, And when I

213
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: think about that in the context of these players, I

214
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: know where near where those players are from a financial standpoint,

215
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: or you know, whatever level of success they've reached. Versus

216
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: the level of success that I've reached. But I live

217
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: a comfortable life. And when you start thinking about it

218
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: from that perspective, I look at I look at just

219
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: a generation ago, and there were a ton of people

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: who had money and privilege and wealth and success, people

221
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: like Muhammad Ali, people like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, people like

222
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Bill Russell, people that, and that doesn't even get into

223
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: some of the other people that we know, like doctor

224
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: King and people like that. But people that were willing

225
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: to do things that could affect them that they'd have

226
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: to pay price for, but doing it for the greater good,

227
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: not for themselves, not because they were going to get

228
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: in because they already had success, they already had fame

229
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: and wealth and the whole nine. They were doing it

230
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: because they saw a lot of other people who needed

231
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: someone with a platform to be able to speak on

232
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: their behalf. And it would be hypocritical of me at

233
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: this point where I am to now scoff at how

234
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: these athletes are choosing to use that platform. And Nick,

235
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: when you talked about the platform and using the platform,

236
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: I think that but for that platform, and but for

237
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: those guys like Muhammad Ali and those others being willing

238
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: to use their platform to speak out, I wouldn't be

239
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: in the position that I'm in. It's very hard to

240
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: believe that I would be in a position, judging from

241
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: where people like me were in the nineteen sixties and

242
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: seventies in this country, that I'd be in a position

243
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: where I'm managing, you know it, let's be blunt, while

244
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm managing people who are white like That would not

245
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: be happening, right, And so it would be very very

246
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: hypocritical of me now to say, hey, these guys have

247
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: a platform, but they should not use that platform in

248
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: order to speak on behalf of people who don't have

249
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: that platform and don't have the ability to be able

250
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: to speak for themselves to where people will listen and

251
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: hear what they have to say. So I applaud people

252
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: being willing to take a stand for what they believe in.

253
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're gonna be there's gonna be a penalty that

254
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: has to be paid for that. But just as those

255
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: guys a generation ago and two generations ago have done,

256
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I applaud them for doing that. And I respect the

257
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: fact that the cowboys were willing to find a way

258
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: where in a room of fifty three men. They could

259
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: find something that was a compromise that they all could

260
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: agree on, that allowed some to protest in certain ways,

261
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: and like do you said, dave others to hold true

262
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: to whatever core values they had. It's, you know what

263
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, very well said. And I think that it's

264
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: really hard for people to try to get into other

265
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: people's shoes and to say what they're dealing with. And

266
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I've said this to you before, I've said this. You know,

267
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: when I've been pulled over in my life, it's because

268
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: I was speeding. That's why. That's why I got pulled over,

269
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: or maybe I didn't have my signal on or seatbelt

270
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: or whatever that you probably can't say the same thing.

271
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: And there's something that's something I don't go through and

272
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: I know that, and I try to the best I

273
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: can to kind of give him my views, but not

274
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: knowing what yours are in your stance and stuff like that.

275
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: And I think if more people would do that and

276
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: quit saying, well, you don't need to do that, you

277
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: don't need to do do you don't really know, you don't

278
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: really know what that's like. And so and I know

279
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, I don't think you can empathy

280
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: in perspective or like just I genuinely believe those are

281
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: two of the most important things. And it's funny that

282
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Derek just said that and it was so eloquent. I've

283
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: been thinking about the same thing from the opposite side

284
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: of the spectrum all weekend, which is that I can't

285
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: really relate to that at all, you know, like I

286
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: am the I am the poster boy for the term

287
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: white privilege that you here thrown around so much. You know,

288
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, middle class, white guy, nuclear family. I went

289
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: to private school. I didn't have to worry. I mean,

290
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to college from the time

291
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: I was old enough to know what college was, you know,

292
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: that type of Yeah, I don't have to worry about

293
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: what the cops are gonna do to me. I've never

294
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: been afraid of a police officer in that sense, you know,

295
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But I can still empathy with

296
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: people who come from that and look at that and say,

297
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, there are some realities in this world that

298
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: that I can't comprehend. But I still understand that they

299
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: are issues, and just because I can't relate to them

300
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're not real things. Uh, it's not something

301
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: you have to get angry about. Um. And and to

302
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: your point, and an NFL locker room or any locker

303
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: room is a great place to kind of see that.

304
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that last night when I was

305
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: talking all these guys. I mean, uh, you know, you're

306
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: you're Ezekiel Eliot's your DeMarcus Lawrence is your Dez Bryant.

307
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, who comes from a rougher background than Dez

308
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: Bryant Coming together with a guy like Sean Lee, who's

309
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: a white dude from western Pennsylvania. You know, mister, all

310
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: of me, you know, all high school basketball and h

311
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: and Jason Witten and they come together and kind of,

312
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, decide on this solution that they can all

313
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: agree on that that makes them all feel like they're

314
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: they're part of something. They're they're being true to who

315
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: they are and what they want to do. And they

316
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: made it all work between sixty three dudes and or

317
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: fifty three players and two dozen other you know, staffers

318
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: and owners and everything else. And like I said, empathy

319
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: being able to understand where other people are coming from,

320
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: even if it's not your own story or your own struggle.

321
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: I think you know, we'd all be a little better

322
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: off if more people were. And let me just say

323
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: this real quick. I don't know how much of an

324
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: impact this will have. I don't know what change we

325
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: will see coming from this, but I do believe that

326
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and if you want to call

327
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: it ignorant, I mean a lot of people can't form.

328
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: There aren't opinions, they can't form, they can't come together

329
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: with having their own beliefs, and they go with what

330
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: they see online or people they look up to. So

331
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: I feel like there might be some people that are

332
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: fans of the Cowboys and they see what they did,

333
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: and maybe they change their views on things and now

334
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: they go with, Okay, well the Cowboys are supporting this,

335
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: let me support this. Or the guy I look up sorry,

336
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: the guy I look up to could be Jason Witten

337
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: or Sean Lee like you were talking about. Now they're

338
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: gonna go that route. So I feel like you might

339
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: have even if it's a little impact, it's still something

340
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: And I'm glad they did what they did. You know,

341
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: and I wrote this in my story last night. Then

342
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: they they what they did more than anything was they

343
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: they opened it up for everybody in their belief. If

344
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: you really want to kneel down, you get to kneel.

345
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: If you want to stand, you get to stand for

346
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: the national anthem. And if you're so upset with what's

347
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: going on, you're you're upset with the leadership of our country,

348
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: but you still respect the flag in a country enough

349
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: that you want to stand and do both. You got

350
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: to do both. You got to do both. You got

351
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: to do everything. Best Monday night game ever because it

352
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: gave him another day to figure out what they've done.

353
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: To think about that, thirty things happened, Thirty teams did

354
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: it one way, and they say, Okay, you have to

355
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: be number thirty one. You have to be thirty one.

356
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: You have to do something different than everyone else. And

357
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: they did it, and they did it better than anyone else.

358
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that people didn't appreciate it, I think

359
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: they're just being shortsighted or stubborn or ignorant maybe. And

360
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: one of the things that kind of goes to that

361
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: is I think there is a there's a word that

362
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: I think is inherently important to democracy that has somehow

363
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: become a bad word. And at this point, people are

364
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: now not being reelected because they do it, and it's

365
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: called compromise. There is no way you're going to bring

366
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: groups of people with different backgrounds and different opinions together

367
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: to create one government and to be able to effectively

368
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: govern a people and make laws and those kinds of

369
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: things unless there is compromise. And somehow that's become a

370
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: dirty word. If you compromise, you're now giving in. There's

371
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: not enough people willing to sit and talk to people

372
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: with different opinions and listen and then be willing to

373
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna give a little bit, You're gonna give

374
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, and we're gonna find a middle ground here.

375
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: And it sounds like from what we heard in the

376
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: locker room, those fifty three men were able to do that.

377
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: They were able to sit and have discussions and at times,

378
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: from the way Jason went and talked about it, at

379
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: times it got heated. But the fact of the matter

380
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: is they were willing to listen to one another and

381
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: come to it an agreement on what they wanted to

382
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: do as a group, which is compromise. And that's the

383
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: part that's I think missing so much about you know,

384
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: what's happening right now just in our in our society,

385
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: in general and our fans that are listening that you know,

386
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the game. But this was bigger

387
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: than the game. It was it was last night. It

388
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: was bigger than the game, and I think that's why

389
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: we spent the whole first segment talking about still will

390
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: be bigger. They will be, Yeah, absolutely, Hopefully going forward,

391
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: more attention is paid to the overall issue that's here,

392
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: and at some point we find some resolution and we

393
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: kind of get better as a society. That's why I'm hoping,

394
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's take our first back. When we come back,

395
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: I do want to jump into the game. There's so

396
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: much to talk about here. Kat was going to win.

397
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: That's a big, big deal coming off last week's lost.

398
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,320

Speaker 1: I hear all this talk about what it takes to

435
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: be a cowboy. Everyone's got their ideas, but I just

436
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: say to myself, it's what's up top that matters. Sure,

437
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: you need men with the muscle and heart to get

438
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: her done. But if your scouts and coaches are listening

439
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: out there a word of advice. Pick the man with

440
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: the most well worn stetson. That's the one most cut

441
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: out to be a cowboy. Stetson hats are handmade right

450
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: Now we went a whole first segment of a show

451
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: after a win stick to sports. Hey, no, I don't

452
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen too soon. I think it's gonna happen.

453
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: But you know, here's kind of where I want to

454
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: start with this because I know it was the case

455
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: for me. I assume it was the case for you. Guys.

456
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: You get through the first two series of the game

457
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: for both teams, and I'm thinking, here we go again.

458
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: I thought, and I was actually thinking about what you

459
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: talked about last weekday, where you were like, I'm more

460
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 1: concerned that this is not just an isolated incident. And

461
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: I started to think, is Dave right here, like is

462
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: this team really not what we thought they were? And

463
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: then things start to change, and by the end of

464
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: the game, I'm back to Yes, that was an aberration

465
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: what we saw in Denver. This is a better team

466
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: than Hey, before you say anything over there about start,

467
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: let me just tell you this was Ada was one

468
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: hundred of his past his pass one one for one.

469
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in the first ball didn't hit

470
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: the ground in the first quarter, hot start for him.

471
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: Thirteen h twelve out thirteen for Curson Palmer. But I

472
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: was gonna start the show off of and I loved

473
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: that segment we just did. But thinking purely about the

474
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: football game game, my main takeaway was like, as atrociously

475
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: as that game started, they came out and won that

476
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: game by double digits, Like that's that's amazing when you

477
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: really think about how up the creek they were twenty

478
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: five minutes into that game. I mean the play I

479
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: tweeted it out last night. The play disparity was like

480
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: twenty eight to six at the end of the first quarter.

481
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: It's like one hundred and fifty something yards to six.

482
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Like it was atrocious. I mean, and you know, if

483
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: not for a missed field goal, there in another double

484
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: digit hole early you might have to climb out of that.

485
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: You're running game's not working. Who the hell knows what

486
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: could happen? And then you come out there and outscore

487
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: them basically from the first drive of the game, you

488
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: outscore them twenty eight to what ten. Yeah, it's amazing,

489
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: amazing the way they were able to turn that around.

490
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: And I guess I shouldn't be surprised because they did

491
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: that all last season, but with just with just the

492
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: first two games to go on sample size, it certainly

493
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: I did not have a lot of comf they were

494
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: going to do it. Well, let's let's let's dive in

495
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: a little deeper. I want to talk first about the

496
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: defense the offense. At the interesting stat and I told

497
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: you this in the press box, Nick, the offense scored

498
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: on four touchdowns that they had in the game. Three

499
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: of them came in situations where they got the ball

500
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: either in Arizona territory or at the fifty yard line,

501
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: which to me is definitely about what the defense was doing.

502
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: It was definitely about what your punter was doing, who

503
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: I still believe is having a phenomenal year. He has

504
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: a couple of shanks here and there, but by and large,

505
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: he's having a really, really great season and creating field

506
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: position for this team in situations where they where they

507
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: sorely needed. But you start looking at guys like DeMarcus Lawrence,

508
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: and you start looking at guys like Malik Collins and

509
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: how they're playing. And the question for you guys is

510
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: have the Cowboys finally, after many, many years of searching

511
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: for it, finally found a pass rush that they really

512
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: can hang their hat on. Go ahead, Sorry, well yeah,

513
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: I think I think that they're getting there. They're getting there,

514
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: and Lawrence is healthier, he's leaner. Uh you know, he's

515
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries too. I mean he's had

516
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: he's had a little setbacks there, um and and I

517
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: think having that pass rush up the middle is gonna

518
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: is helping. Let's not forget they're one game away from

519
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: getting it. Pretty pissed off David Irving back into this thing,

520
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: So now you're really starting figuring out. You know, they've

521
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: got some things to work with. But I'll say one

522
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: thing real quick. Anytime a defensive tackle can get two sacks,

523
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: two tackles for loss, two hits on the quarterback, five

524
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: total tackles, and you're not even close to the best

525
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: player on your team, on your defense, on your I

526
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: mean on your defense, you kidding me? I mean DeMarcus

527
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Lawrence's line, go ahead, go ahead, Dave. Well, I'm gonna

528
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: we just no, no, no, I'm just I you. You

529
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: circled on a tweet DeMarcus Lawrence's stats. Yeah, so I

530
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: figured you might be going down this road. I don't know. Well,

531
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna do two things right here. I'm

532
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna contradict myself because all the stats you

533
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: just said, Arizona carried twenty one times for four nine

534
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: yards two point three yards per carry. I didn't even

535
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: realize this. Their long run of the night was six yards. Yeah.

536
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and I want to see I say a

537
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: rid or stat somewhere that was probably Sage probably saw

538
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: it for me. Yeah, because they say that's awesome at

539
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: my job, are awesome at your job. They had six

540
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: sacks and ten tackles for loss. Arizona ran seventy five plays,

541
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: twenty percent of them were stopped behind the line of scrimmage,

542
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: so every fourth play they ran got tackled in the backfield.

543
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Between Shawn Lee to Marcus Lawrence, Malee Collins, Tyrone Crawford.

544
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. That was Marcus Lawrence had six six He

545
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: made six stops behind the line of scrimmage in the game,

546
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: three sacks and three tackles for a loss, and then

547
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: on top of that hit the quarterback six times. I mean,

548
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: not only do you have your three sacks, he had

549
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: another sack called back. Ye probably could have maybe get

550
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: a half sack on this one with Crawford and it

551
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: might still come in. He was it was called for holding.

552
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: That wiped out a touchdown for the Cardinals because they

553
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: were holding him. And if he wouldn't have been so

554
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: beastly on another play pushing his guy this far, he

555
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: would have got an interception, but he was so far

556
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: up the field he didn't get to turn back. Having

557
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: said ever seen, Having said all of this, I'm sorry,

558
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: that's a murderers row of awful offensive lines that they've

559
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: played to got it season. But let me ask you

560
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: this question, and I know you can probably say is

561
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: play the people No, I not across from And you

562
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: can probably make a similar argument about the New York Giants. However,

563
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: when you look at the body of work between these

564
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: first three games, that's I guess he has been. He

565
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: has been This is not just a guy to me.

566
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: This is not just a guy where you can say

567
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: sometimes guys have these amazing seasons because it's in a

568
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: contract year. I don't care who you are. There have

569
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: only been three counted three in the history of the

570
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: NFL that have had this how to start getting sacks

571
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: against the opposing team's quarterback. He's on pace to like

572
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: nearly double the single season sack record. Obviously that he's

573
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: gonna fall off. He's not gonna he can't do this

574
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: sixteen games. I thought he would have fallen off after

575
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: Week one and two. And you're absolutely right. Like I said,

576
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: all you can do is play the opponent that you're given.

577
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: But between the Giants, Broncos and Arizona missing two of

578
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: its five starters, that's a hell of a way to

579
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: kick start your season. These are not great units. Hopefully

580
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: it gives you a ton of confidence and kind of

581
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: gets you humming. You know, people, you know, once you

582
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: get sacks, they come in bunches. That's what people love

583
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: to say, Well, you got them right now, and you know,

584
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: I honestly up until probably Washington, which is all the

585
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: way at Halloween, the Rams and the Packers are probably

586
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: better than the Cardinals, but like that, it ain't the

587
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: Raiders and it ain't you know, the Cowboys. So yeah,

588
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: like I want to see him do it against some

589
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: better teams, but objectively against NFL competition, this is amazing.

590
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And the thing I like about what you've

591
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: see from from Lawrence right now is and this is

592
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: this used to be even a criticism of DeMarcus where

593
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: he would get sacks in a game and people would

594
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: be like, well, he didn't he wasn't getting any pressure

595
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: instin when the game was on the line, when they

596
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: needed the sack the most. It seems like you're in

597
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: the third and fourth quarter, when it's like the other

598
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: team is trying to get into games, that's when he

599
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: seems to be at his best. That's when he's getting

600
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: the most pressure. Right, you keep talking and I'm gonna

601
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna pull up some numbers for me on that,

602
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I haven't looked at the numbers.

603
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: That's yes, the way I'm going by by Amber's Looksie test,

604
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: Like that's the way it feels to me is that

605
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: when the game is most in need of a sack,

606
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: most in need of a defensive play. Seems like that's

607
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: when DeMarcus Lawrence is showing up and making a play

608
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: for them. It's very similar to what I think David

609
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: Irwin was doing last year. It was like in those

610
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: critical moments was when he showed up the most. I

611
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: think that's what I'm seeing right now from DeMarcus Lawrence.

612
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: Is that accurate statistically, Dave? It feels that way. All

613
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: I know. All I know is I'm very excited right now.

614
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: This was one of my main concerns since the moment

615
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: I got here to the Dallas Cowboys and became a

616
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Had a big issue with

617
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: their past rush, And as it stands right now, I'm

618
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: very excited to where it's headed, especially because I believe

619
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: something like that is very contagious to all those other

620
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: guys around him and next to him, and I expect

621
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Tackled Charlton to step up his game and kind of

622
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: pick that up, and all of those guys doing a

623
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: great job there and again the secondary I'm still now

624
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: feeling good about them, But like I said last week,

625
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: I thought something that was gonna be big for them

626
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: is for the defensive line to be able to kind

627
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: of take off that pressure of those guys back there

628
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 1: in the field, the secondary guys, and eventually, hopefully a

629
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: few more weeks, those rookies are gonna be able to

630
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: get more into the game and step up their game

631
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: as well as the veterans like Byron Jones and Jeff Heath,

632
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: who we are still waiting for something to happen there.

633
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: But once they pick up their game, I think this

634
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: defense can be pretty good. They sacked him on three

635
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: of their final four possessions to close the care It

636
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: is right there. Yeah, I'm gonna rebut that, and I'm

637
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: not all right careful because then I was gonna go

638
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: talk to Jeff Heath. Yeah. Um, the stats don't provoke me.

639
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: I will go to the locker room. The stats are

640
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna tell you that the secondary wasn't great, and they

641
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: they weren't great. They weren't they weren't Denver. But they

642
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: gave up three hundred and twenty five passing yards on

643
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: fifty attempts. UH finished, allowed seventeen points, denied the Cardinals

644
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown on that last, you know, ultimately meaningless

645
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: possession right before the final kneel down. All things considered

646
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: and knowing what we know about the secondary, I e.

647
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: Two of your starters aren't there. You're leaning on rookies

648
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: like Xavier Woods and Jordan Lewis. Jeff heath Is starting

649
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: third game at safety. I didn't think they were bad. No,

650
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: they did good. But again I think it comes from

651
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: how well the defensive line. But let me let me

652
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: ask this that I agree with that isolate this for

653
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: me because I do think as a group, I kind

654
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: of agree with you. But I do think if you

655
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: isolated to specific players and we go down the list. Now,

656
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: obviously there were rookies that showed up, and probably this

657
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: goes the Knick's argument of grading on the curve right,

658
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: you probably saw some of those kie rookies play above

659
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: what you thought they could. But I also heard a

660
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: lot of grumbling in the press box about Byron Jones.

661
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: So talk to me specifically about different guys in the

662
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: secondary and how they perform. Yesterday. You know, Byron Jones

663
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: I thought had a rough night for three and a

664
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: half quarters. He did play better. He made a few

665
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: plays there on the ball in the fourth quarter. You

666
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: can do it a little bit more when you know

667
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: that they're going to pass and the pass rush is

668
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: getting there, and so I do think it was, like

669
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: she said, a product of the pass rush. I I'm

670
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: not sure that he's fully comfortable play in safety back there,

671
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: playing that center field. I just don't think he's got

672
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: a great grasp of it just yet. And and him

673
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: and Heath are still kind of learning on the run,

674
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: so theyre as I said yesterday on Twitter, man, there's

675
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: nothing really safe about that position right now, because those

676
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: are the guys you wanted to count on. Jordan Lewis,

677
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: I'm not great in him as a rookie. I'm great

678
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: in him as just number twenty seven out there and

679
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: it guy's making plays. Yeah, kind of fearless too, Yeah.

680
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: I actually I had a short chat with him in

681
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: the locker room last night and I was like, look,

682
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: because he's short and I'm short, Yeah, that's good. I

683
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: didn't say that. We amuse ourselves with such silly things

684
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: that I know. I went up actual, well, I'll just

685
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and continue the puns, because I went up

686
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: to him and I was like, look, man, I'm not

687
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: trying to sell you short. Like I know that you

688
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: were a big time player at Michigan. I know you've

689
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: done this a lot, but it's gotta be kind of

690
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: weird to like look jog out there and look across

691
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: the line and see Larry Fitzgerald right, And he was like,

692
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, it was so surreal. Like, I mean,

693
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're in the game and you're trying to

694
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: focus as much as you can, but but that's Larry Fitzgerald.

695
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: But what I mean, and you know, with all that

696
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: stuff in mine knowing we talked all last week about

697
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: how they're a big play offense and they're gonna try

698
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: to hit deep balls. I thought he was awesome. I thought,

699
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, I went back and watched some tape with

700
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: Brian brought us this morning. Xavier Woods didn't play a

701
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: perfect game, but I thought he was awesome too. Like,

702
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: remember the guy's playing out a position. He's playing out

703
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: a position. Yeah, he's They tackled well, they were all

704
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: over the field. Jordan almost got Cavon Fraser an interception.

705
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean he was it was a quarter of an

706
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: inch away. That was a huge play. Yeah, the tip

707
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: ball um and he you know, I'll and yeah, maybe

708
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: Byron a little bit, and the safeties weren't great, but

709
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: I'll even I'll give them a little bit of credit

710
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: just because you know. I talked to Orlando Scandric on

711
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: the plane last night too, and he was He's saying

712
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: he was in a great mood, which, hey, Dave, ride

713
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: good about me. Makes sure you're right good about me? Um,

714
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, correct him. No I did not. You

715
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't correct it. I did not. Say. Well, well, Orlando,

716
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, for their third game playing together, I'm I'll

717
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: allow it. It didn't wind up counting, which Scandrick took

718
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: accountability for, which I thought was really funny. Jeff. He

719
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: diagnosed that deep ball to I don't even remember which

720
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: receiver was broke across the field, made the read and

721
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: went up, like how often have we been lamenting for

722
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: safeties to make those type of plays in this defense?

723
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: He did it. He didn't catch it, played didn't count anyway,

724
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: but he did it. He put himself in position. I

725
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: just I saw a lot of positives from a unit

726
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: comprised of rookies and first year starters. Yeah, I really,

727
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: And like I said, the stats will tell you that

728
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals through for three hundred and twenty five yards.

729
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that's hollow when you consider it.

730
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: They couldn't run the ball. They were trailing, you know,

731
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: from halftime onward. And you know what, one of those

732
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: plays was the catch of the year by Larry Fitzgerald.

733
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: It was And at some point I think you got

734
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: to tip your hat to a guy like Larry Fitzgerald too.

735
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: He's more often than not he's going to get his yards,

736
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: especially when he's playing in depleted secondary like this, all

737
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: that stuff considered, I thought they were pretty good. Like

738
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here. I'm not saying they're the legion

739
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: of boom. But I'm not sitting here thinking they're terrible

740
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: after this game either. And I will say this, if

741
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: they're playing like this right now in week three, the

742
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: hope exactly so if you're a Cowboys fan, is that

743
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: and that's by week twelve thirteen that they really are

744
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: working with something and you have to write, now, again,

745
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: this is very very early, but you have to write now,

746
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: feel really good about the prospect of where this can

747
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: go a long term. These guys turn out to be players.

748
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: You've now turned over your secondary in one season, and

749
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a lot to hope for. It's a

750
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: lot to get there. But at least you have a

751
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: little more hope today than maybe you had last week.

752
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: And that's you know, it goes. I say this all

753
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. My thought of you know,

754
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: fans think of players like maddened guys where it's just

755
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of it's mechanical and it's out there and there's

756
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: no human element to it. That's not how it works.

757
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: And Scandrick illustrated that for me perfectly last night. He

758
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: was like, look, it's me and Jeff's third game where

759
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: we're really playing together out there for fifty sixty snaps

760
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: at a time, really second for Orlando since he had

761
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: was out last week. That stuff comes in time. You

762
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: learn how to you know, you know your teammates tendencies,

763
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: you know that you can count on them, you know

764
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: what they're going to do in this coverage, you know

765
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: how this is gonna look. So I think there's a

766
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,959

808
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: take it away, there we go. I'm wondering where you were, hey, Derek,

809
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: Tommy John gives you the feeling of freedom where it

810
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: counts with a contour pouch that I'm not gonna say

811
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: that phrase. Tommy John is really comfortable underwear. I think

812
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Um, if it was week three, I'd say

813
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: it's a cardinal rule that you go get some Tommy

814
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: John underwear. But week four we're on a week four,

815
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: so I'm really just gonna ram this message home that

816
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: you should invest in some Tommy John under in Green Bay.

820
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: would Cowboy fans that break listeners tweet me, email me whatever.

821
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: I want to know how many people we've convinced to

822
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: buy this underwear. They should, like honestly, and you know,

823
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes you have certain things that you kind of

824
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: have to push and yeah, kind of that, okay, but

825
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: they actually took they actually took care of us like

826
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: before we started this and just kind of gave us

827
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: some product to test out. And I swear every every

828
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: guy in the office that tried it was it's great.

829
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: It's great. Pretty much stuff just just because I legitimately

830
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: mean it's great. I wouldn't talk about it as much

831
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: as I do if it wasn't. But that doesn't mean

832
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: anybody's gonna listen to us and go buy it. So

833
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: I'd be curious. Holler at me, try to try it then, Dezen,

834
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: Dak and Zeke. Yeah, I got the important stuff out.

835
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: Have you? You don't even remember us doing it. We've

836
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: done shows for a long time, and you know what,

837
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: I sorry, I think it's really fitting that we haven't

838
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: talked about them today. I agree, I don't. I wouldn't

839
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: have done it Tommy John was comfortable. No, I wouldn't

840
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: have done it any other way. And to be honest

841
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: with the actually was gonna ask you guys this question earlier.

842
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: Have we now seen two of the three games where

843
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: and there were only two wins, but where the defense

844
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: was more impressive than the offense. Can you make that

845
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: claim about yesterday's game? Yes? Easy, I mean, I don't

846
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: think they were more impressive. I really don't yesterday or

847
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: a week one. You know what. I don't mean to

848
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: get to get deep on this again. But they started

849
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: out as a group. They locked arms, they started out

850
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: and they played together. They won together. They won they

851
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: needed each other defense was struggling a little bit early

852
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: to the defense had some issues when the offense picked

853
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: it up. You know, one of them. You know, my

854
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: favorite play in the history of the Alice Cowboys is

855
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: as a fan, was the favorite play all time Tony Dorsett.

856
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 1: Now now I'm six years old, then Woody Danceler. That's

857
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: one of my favorites up there. But but seriously, when

858
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: my favorite players ever is the nineteen ninety two NFC

859
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: Championship game. Cowboys have this game and under control. Oh yeah,

860
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: Niners score four minutes to go Candlestick Parks. The crowd's

861
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: going crazy. They got Emmett Smith. They're up by four.

862
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do. You're gonna give it to

863
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: Emmett and you're gonna try to get you know, get

864
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: a first down or two. No, we're throwing Alvin Harper

865
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: on a slant seventy five yards for him though that

866
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: wasn't meant for him. Whatever, seventy five yards down to

867
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: the nine. They scored to put the game away. They say,

868
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: take that six minutes to go. Crowd on this feat

869
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: we got this thing to four point gut the Cowboys

870
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: car Well, the crowd's up there and they give it

871
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: and they fake it to Zeke that goes slings it

872
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: to Bryce. Yes, you know that's just like, you know what,

873
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: take this, I'm gonna throw. I'm not evenna set my feet.

874
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw it, like Randy Moss would say.

875
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: And I just thought that was an amazing answer in

876
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: a play, and to say we're gonna move the ball

877
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: and we're gonna strike here. And I thought the offense

878
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: responded when it was time for them to respond. So

879
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: maybe the defense was a little a little more impressive

880
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: at times, but I thought the offense really carried him

881
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: as well. I thought the offense was just gutty. We

882
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: gave him a lot of credit for sticking with the

883
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: run and just powering through against the Giants. This was

884
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: even worse. I mean this, and I haven't graded the tape,

885
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: but man, if this O line didn't look bad to

886
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: start this thing out, I mean, Tyrn Smith got beat

887
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: easily by Chandler Jones on a sack. Lyle Collins had

888
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: his struggles, Chaz Green had his struggles. Travis Frederick looked

889
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: like he got pancaked at least once in there somewhere.

890
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: The only guy that I'm not one hundred percent sure

891
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: did something wrong with Zach And even if I went

892
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: back and watched, maybe he did it was bad. And

893
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: they just stuck with it. They didn't you know, defense

894
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: helped him stay in it. They didn't fall behind like

895
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: they did last week, so they could keep doing it.

896
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: And then sure enough, fourth quarter comes around, Zeke's getting

897
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, four five, five, six, four three four eight

898
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Like that's that's the beauty of it. If

899
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: you can do that, you just wear people down and

900
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: they don't want it anymore by the fourth quarter. And

901
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: Dak it's I mean, you know, the two throws to

902
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: Bryce were stupid. I mean it's it's and I mean

903
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: that in a good way, like it's it's so dumb.

904
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: How much better Dak looks when he's running around with

905
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: his head cut off and just kind of does that

906
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: like not setting his feet and then I you know,

907
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler will drop a slant over the middle, but

908
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: he goes up and gets that thing. Um. But they

909
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: they were they were a compliment at best. I mean,

910
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: when you complete thirteen yards and or thirteen passes in

911
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: an NFL game, I mean that's insane when you think

912
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: about how pass happy. This league is Whitten Beasley does

913
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: combined four kitch just you know, didn't to win a

914
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: game like that. And then we all we all like

915
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: Bryce in different ways, different levels. You know, we're all

916
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: fans of Bryce on the show. But I think that

917
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: we talked, now, we were a little bit ruthless, and

918
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: you you know, we talked about like he could be

919
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: cut and why why not be you know, why why

920
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: that's totally fair? And had some drops, had an ankle

921
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 1: injury all week, come out and I mean the throws

922
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: were okay, but the catches in the plays he made

923
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: were even better. Proud of him for coming back and

924
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: making that play, two plays like that. I thought that

925
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: that was amazing. But this team is so much better.

926
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: This offense is so much better when the quarterbacks legs

927
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: are involved. Yes, that play where he runs in for

928
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: the touchdown, that was the beginning of it. Actually was

929
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: a play before that when they did a boot to

930
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: bring him out to the outside. He threw on the run.

931
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: Last year, if we remember that was when the offense

932
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: was at its best. Is when they were moving him around,

933
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: giving him opportunities to throw on the run, allowing him

934
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: to run some balls as well, Like that's when this

935
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: offense is so dynamic, because now you're not just worried

936
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: about the guy in the backfield that's the running back

937
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: that's going to get the ball. You also have to

938
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: consider the fact that just because it's a running play

939
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's going to be the one doing it.

940
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: And you have to count for the fact that just

941
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: because the quarterback takes off running doesn't mean he's actually

942
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: going to run the ball. It means he's just getting

943
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: space and time so that he can actually throw a

944
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of stuff you got to deal with and ches.

945
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: J J. Nelson. I didn't realize that. I didn't realize

946
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: it had zero catches. He did have the near I

947
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: mean he had the near circus catch. But yeah, he

948
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. He's been the best offensive player before this

949
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: game going into the kicks out of seven games going

950
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: last year was a touchdown. Yeah, they didn't get a catch. Yeah,

951
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: this is not related to JJ Nelson. I'm sorry, but

952
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: you asked me about this because I ranked oh yeah, well,

953
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: I ranked as his touchdowns a couple of summers ago,

954
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: and like, I don't have time to go back and

955
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: redo the whole thing. But much like the I think

956
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: if you asked me for my personal favorite des Brian touchdown,

957
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: and people kind of look at me funny when I

958
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: say this, but I always say the Jacksonville crossing Road.

959
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, unbelievable. It's just bo But two showcases everything

960
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,479
Speaker 1: art two whatever. But on a on a it wasn't

961
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't a full field touchdown, but on

962
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: a much smaller scale, this touchdown should be right up

963
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: there with any of them because it showcases exactly what

964
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: he's about. He got the ball, he wasn't in coverage

965
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: on Peterson when he got it, but he juked the

966
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: hell out of Patrick Peterson, got around one of the

967
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the league, and then just you stopped

968
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 1: me and took him along for the ride. Just get

969
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: off me, b to quote Nick, just like you're not

970
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: you're not keeping me out of this. In wait a second,

971
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: I thought this was Travis Frederick's first career touchdown. Why

972
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: are we not getting Well that's said in the locker

973
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: room after the day, he was like, yeah, I went

974
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: back and watched it. I just finished watching it and

975
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: I noticed I got a little help. So I had

976
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: to go over there and tell him thank you, because

977
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: it he was Frederick just came and just like blasted

978
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: it into the get that last little yard or whatever

979
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: it was. Hey, big beard um that has been dealing

980
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: with a back injury for like last two or three years,

981
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: So let's he's gonna slam your three and twenty pound weight.

982
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: And I actually and Arkansas, My team actually won a

983
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: game against TCU last year because of this. But I

984
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: hate that rule. I don't think that should be fair

985
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: at all. The plays pretty much stopped and now it

986
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: just comes down to whose linemen are fatter than the others.

987
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: You can just pass the guy forward, don't. Don't undersell

988
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush like that well either way, but I'm just saying,

989
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: when the defense piles on, you get to the two,

990
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: the defense piles on, it pushes you back to the six.

991
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: You're back at the two, but you get stopped at

992
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: the two and your offensive lineman just pushes you into

993
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: the end zone. Like this doesn't make sense to me.

994
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't, but I don't know how you police it.

995
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: Get him. I love it. It's just cher. It's fun

996
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: to watch, and it wasn't. This game to me was

997
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: not a good game. But no on but there were

998
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot of impressive plays. And I was laughing at

999
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: myself just thinking about Jason Garrett. You know, they did

1000
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: what he says a lot. They went out there and crawl, scratched,

1001
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: bit pushed, you sound, just lunched all that stuff. They

1002
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: really did all that. Jason Garrett, he says something like that.

1003
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: He facing Garrett. Yeah no, but you would be no.

1004
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: It was. It was um really really good to see

1005
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: them compared to the other games, especially last week. Compared

1006
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: to last week, it was good to see them coming

1007
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: back in the second half and not just Dak, but

1008
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of players, like a lot

1009
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: of them made plays that we didn't think we're gonna

1010
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: happen and impressed everyone. You know, I do those five

1011
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: plays not to forget about. I thought Terrence Williams catch

1012
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: in the first drive of the third quarter was really

1013
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: big because it was I think it was twenty two

1014
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: yard or and but what it did was got them

1015
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: from the twenty yard line out to midfield. Now they

1016
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: ended up having to punt, but when they Chris Jones

1017
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: did his work down to the five yard line that

1018
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: they ended up punting back to Switzer who did his

1019
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, then then they started at the forty five.

1020
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: That catch at twenty two yards just flipped the field

1021
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: position and got them to be aggressive. And the next thing,

1022
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, when they got it back, they drove in

1023
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So that play was and it was

1024
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 1: a great catch. You had to kind of dive for it,

1025
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: and you know, wasn't wasn't the best throw. So you know,

1026
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: it's it's plays like that that that you know if

1027
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: when it's a field position game, you just need to

1028
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: get out to midfield a little bit, and he didn't.

1029
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed with him, and I think when you

1030
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: have a real punt returner, a real punt returner. And

1031
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: I almost said this, there's a couple of times I

1032
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: wish I would have tweeted something and I would have

1033
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: made me look a little bit smarter, but but I said,

1034
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: I think I told you this afterwards. Yeah, you can

1035
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: put Patrick Peterson at midfield. You can be scared of

1036
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: him and all that, but put him back at the

1037
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: ten yard line and let's see how comfortable he really is.

1038
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: Let's see how comfortable he is catching the ball. Because

1039
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: those guys are good when it's just an easy punp

1040
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 1: and you go they get outkicked the coverage, But does

1041
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: he really want to catch it down on the ten

1042
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,959
Speaker 1: when the ball's kind of you know, it's a little

1043
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: it's a it's a left footed punt. He's not used

1044
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: to that, I'm sure, and all of a sudden he

1045
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: does he want to get it. He just stays away

1046
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: from it. It bounces down to the two. So that

1047
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: when you have a real punt turner like Switzer, that

1048
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: that's what he does. You see a big difference. Not

1049
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: afraid to catch it, not afraid to get hit, not

1050
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 1: afraid to go north all the time. He's gonna break

1051
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: one for a touchdown. In the next couple of weeks.

1052
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: That's guarantee will score a touchdown. And he's making some

1053
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: big plays. He's had another nice return. I think that

1054
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: is a huge difference in hidden yardage. Go up and

1055
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: catch it, get five or six yards, other than let

1056
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: it roll twenty yards this way in both of their wins.

1057
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you can undersell the importance of special

1058
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: teams penning the opponent deep every chance you get. Chris

1059
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: Jones have four of his punts inside of twenty I

1060
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: don't know off the top of my head, but I

1061
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: guarantee you he had multiple punts down inside the twenty

1062
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: in the other two games as well. There's another guy

1063
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: we need to talk about two on special teams, and

1064
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: that's Frasier. Sorry, no, good, good Cavon Frasier, he's you know,

1065
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: he's not if he's just gonna take more of a

1066
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,760
Speaker 1: role like he is, and he's still playing special teams.

1067
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: But Frasier is now being that guy going down there

1068
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: not getting blocked, kind of being that missile just going

1069
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: down there hitting people. Maybe not the best choice of

1070
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: words right now, but but I think that that Frasier

1071
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: is actually playing really well on special team and playing

1072
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: defense too. But but you need that guy. You need

1073
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: that the guy that's fearless on running down on pumps

1074
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: and kickoffs. Let's take a phone call. We got a

1075
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: call from Reggie in Germany. Reggie, what up? Man? Hey,

1076
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: what's up, Derek, what's up? Nick? What's up? Dave? Hey?

1077
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for the calling, what's up? Hey? I got a

1078
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: mad crush on you. Amber story. Thank you, Lett. I

1079
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: just wanted to say, I wanted to get how proud

1080
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: I am of the team and how they handle that

1081
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: whole um free game situation. Um you know, one of

1082
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: the things that you didn't address is that that whole

1083
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: action actually gave everybody on the team the ability, no

1084
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: matter what their opinion was, to support their fellow teammates

1085
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: and what their opinion was, if they wanted to kneel,

1086
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: those they wanted to stand, to show their support for

1087
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: the ones that wanted to kneel, those that wanted to stand,

1088
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: those that wanted to kneel, to show their support for

1089
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: their teammates that wanted to stand. And I think that

1090
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: action was just great. Jerry was a genius and the

1091
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: team was great for coming up with that idea. And

1092
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: I just want to say kudos to Dallas Cowboys. All right. Thanks.

1093
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: One other thing I want to talk about, as far

1094
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: as football is um, I think that Chris Jones, it's

1095
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: like the unsung hero of this game. I think that

1096
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: he played a major role in keeping the Cardinals pinned

1097
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: down in their own field, their own end of the field,

1098
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: and they couldn't flip the field on us, and that

1099
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: was crucial. Okay, So I just want to let you

1100
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: guys know that. And but now you know, okay, I'm out,

1101
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: all right, all right, thanks, I'll I'll feed in he's

1102
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: calling from Germany, right, speaking German. That's I don't know

1103
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: if he I don't know if he actually was listening

1104
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: to the first part of the show. I don't know

1105
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: when you're on hold, if maybe he heard that because

1106
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about some of those things that he

1107
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and also the ability that what the play

1108
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: were able to do. But but um, that's okay, Yeah,

1109
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: that's he's from Germany. I mean, yeah, I hope we

1110
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: went on hold that the whole time. Oh, I don't

1111
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: think so. I think it just came up. Also, give

1112
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: me a question from Twitter, um, some questions about more.

1113
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about him? Does he keep

1114
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: playing over Huh? I was about to say that no

1115
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: steps away from getting a sack of his own. Wait, okay, yeah,

1116
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: he hit Carson Palmer for a tackle for two yard

1117
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,959
Speaker 1: game that nearly Yeah, I thought I thought he was. Okay,

1118
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: does he keep playing over Tapper? If? I mean, if

1119
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna sit for Tapper, it should probably be Tracko.

1120
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: You know what, Actually, I want to save that conversation

1121
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: because I do think that's a bigger conversation than the

1122
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 1: time we have left just talking about Tapper and Taco

1123
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: and what they're doing there and and who's active and

1124
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: who's not an age I think that's a conversational. It's

1125
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: a little more time set up to change again. Yeah,

1126
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: seven days exactly right, this is all. This is all.

1127
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: And we talked about this, and we we mentioned during

1128
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: training camp that these things tend to work themselves out,

1129
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, injury here, injury there. Don't say it hasn't

1130
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. I'm not gonna would and I'm not

1131
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: certainly asking for that, but I am saying that you

1132
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: got a week to figure this out. You already got

1133
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: one decision you had to make. Now you got another

1134
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: week before you have to make a bigger decision, not

1135
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: only about a guy that not needs to be on

1136
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: the roster, but also what are you gonna do with

1137
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: game day inactives? Right? And you know, they they're a

1138
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: little bit short and linebacking linebacker numbers right now, especially

1139
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: on game day. And Hitchens is gonna come back here

1140
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: at some point, probably before the buy, but but maybe

1141
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: after the buy. But but they're not really It's not

1142
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: like there's a linebacker that's that's gonna just take his

1143
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: place and be off the field. I mean, maybe it's

1144
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: the rant, but I don't I don't know, And so

1145
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: he can make get a starting job. And that's at

1146
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: the at the risk of us saying that with a

1147
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: minute left in the show, say why, let's why are

1148
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: you trying to do this conversation? That's a good time

1149
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: problem to have. It is a good problem to have.

1150
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: You can't have too many good players. And you know

1151
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 1: how it goes. The longer you go in a season,

1152
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: the more injuries are just a part of the game.

1153
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: So it's good to have those. But I think that

1154
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: is a conversation that we're gonna need to have, and

1155
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, we will have that conversation

1156
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: when we start. Hey, we got to talk about one

1157
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: guy real quick. I'll let Dave talk about him. One catch,

1158
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: thirteen yards Noah Brown. Hey, it was a big play

1159
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: in the game too that that helped him get a touch.

1160
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was. Yeah, every time they line up,

1161
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: I think it's I thought it was Noah Brown trying

1162
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: to score from the one yard line. They're pushing it.

1163
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: I mean I hear, do I hear some converts coming

1164
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: aboard Noah's ark right, Well, there we're no converts. We

1165
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: all agreed that Noah Brown was a good player, right,

1166
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: I kind of the other day really like because I

1167
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't know why they had to keep everybody active now

1168
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: with Bryce and Terrence hurt that I realized that, and

1169
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do that at some point, They're

1170
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to sit one of it. They can't do

1171
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: six receivers all the time. If everybody's completely helped. I

1172
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: would imagine, I mean, I would imagine if these if

1173
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: Terrence and Bryce keep getting better, he'll go back to

1174
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: sitting if I had, Yes, but not just he had

1175
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: a nice catch, don't get me wrong, but they clearly

1176
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 1: trust him in the blocking, trust him, and he looked

1177
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: like he did a decent job of it too. So

1178
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pumped for the kid. All Right, We appreciate

1179
