Was that beat down all right? 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:13.160 Nate Newton, he called him the Carolina kiddies all weekness. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.959 And it was all he called what he called they 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.240 ended up being. But they're taking on the Washington. 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:21.679 Commanders on Thursday Thanksgiving showdown at at and T Stadium. 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.880 We've got Isaiah stand Back, John Machoda back in the building. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.480 Nick Harris, Chris Beam. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.200 First off, John, it's the first time you've gotten to 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.639 see Nick Harris alive after Friday's show. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.160 What did you think? I know you were watching because 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.039 you were texting it in the middle of it. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.200 I was not surprised that he handled it as well 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:39.640 as he did. 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:41.640 Thanks man, that's real. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:42.960 That's a real support right there. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.280 And went in thinking that it would be very entertaining 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.200 from the you know, hot sauce perspective. Did not think 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.360 that the whip cream would steal the show. And I 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.080 say that as a person who's probably watched man at 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.720 least thirty maybe more of those hot ones. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.800 Interviews on YouTube. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.519 That you know they go through that process of means yeah, 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.680 eating I don't know, eight ten wings and then the 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.280 hot sauce keeps getting hotter and hotter, and so watching 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.760 those you've seen, I've just seen so many different things 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.560 that people have done, whether it be drink beer, water, milk, milkshakes, 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.720 ice cream, and ever. I've never seen the whipped cream 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.720 and somebody did that. I'm like, they need to incorporate 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.680 that because it like. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:27.360 It was it set up. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.679 Yeah, it was set up. I don't know if you 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.079 guys know that or not, but that was a setup. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:31.800 That was That was amazing. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.040 Isaiah Isaiah told me good lot.

I was like, I've never heard of. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.600 Anybody using whipped cream before. He's like, trust me, it's 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:48.200 worth it. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.399 I was like, all right, dude, whatever. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.760 Nobody, You're not going to turn down whipped cream if 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.280 it's sitting in front of your face and your mouth 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:55.840 is on fire. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.079 Yeah, there's no chance. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:57.760 Yeah. 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.000 Yeah, I've already finished one of those bottoms.

Isaiah's impression of me. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:13.800 You like that? 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:14.800 Oh god? 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.720 Yeah. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:22.240 I was cracking up at then said like I laugh though. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:23.640 Oh man, that was great. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.760 It lived up to the expectations. And a lot of 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.640 times when you build something up like that, it doesn't. 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.639 But no, that was that was great man. Like I said, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.760 the whip cream really took it, took it over the 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:32.160 top there. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:32.919 That was hilarious. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.760 One of my favorite episodes of all time. It's not 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:36.680 my favorite episode. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.880 Go back and watch it. It's on YouTube. It's Friday show. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.240 It's it's called coming in Hot is uh is the 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:43.880 name of the show. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.280 So at what point where you got back to one 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.440 hundred percent goodness? 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.920 Probably not until like one pm that day, honestly, Yeah. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.640 My mouth, Oh that day you were fine. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:53.760 Yeah that day I was fine. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:53.960 Wow. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.600 Yeah, it was shocking, like my my mouth. It probably 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.880 took a good couple hours. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.440 So like it was, it was yeah, so like you 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:01.440 couldn't taste anything. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.240 I could taste things. It was just everything was hot. Yeah, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.960 everything was like the web cream was hot. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.840 Like it was. It was just a hot day for me. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:10.120 Hot day. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.000 Oh how fire Yeah, hot fire. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:16.240 What were your thoughts on the game? 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.800 John very similar to the Giants game? 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.599 Mm hm, Gonya say, it's my first time they've ever 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.159 been at a at a game where usually before games, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.279 I don't sit in the press box. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.000 I like to walk around switching as a stadium. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.920 I haven't been to a bunch and I'm sitting there 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.120 and I see Jimmy Johnson's down there, and then I 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.159 see that you tweet that there's a twelve forty press comerce. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.800 I'm like, Oh, I better get back up there, and 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.320 I'm thinking they're going to really do this, like ten 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.200 minutes for this game start, So that was that was 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.479 a stunner to me. And honestly, I mean, had I 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.480 missed like the first three series because of that. I 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.279 can't think of another game where I didn't watch the 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.880 first three series, so I had to go back and 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.600 watch those just because of that was going on at 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.080 the time. So that was That's, frankly, will be the 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.400 thing that I always remember from that game. And then 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.760 on the feet able to just like just talking to 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.800 some people that cover the Panthers, I just knew it 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:05.760 wasn't gonna be good for them. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:06.719 I mean, they're in a. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.800 Bad spot like every like the whole thing. It's not 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.360 just on the field, it's off the field, coach all that. Like, 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.880 they're not in a good spot there. So it would 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.920 have been bad if the Cowboys would have lost that game. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.480 And hey, when they cut it to seventeen ten, there 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.240 was a little bit of that like leaning forward in 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.120 your seat like are they going to let them back 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.240 into this game? And then I say, my biggest takeaway 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.039 on the field is probably just that how is Deron 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.120 blank continue to do this. I mean, it's it's one 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.520 thing to get the interceptions. Hey, that's and that's impressive 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.080 in itself, but to have four pick sixes in one season. 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:37.600 I've been playing. 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.680 Football for a long time, you know, and you look 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.359 at the list of people that have done that, and 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.240 it's not very long, and it's not like it just happens, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.800 Oh yeah, every three or four seasons you'll get one 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:45.040 of these. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.560 It's very rare that that happens. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.640 And I think that how much time he's got to 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.120 possibly get number five. And I don't know why, but 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.480 it just stands out more to me just because just 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.320 being around him over the last you know, year and 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.360 a half, he's just such a quiet dude, doesn't really 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.760 say much. And for a guy that's making those type 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.919 of plays of the cornerback position, usually think of someone 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.240 that would like, you know, have some dances and things 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:07.719 like that, and he's not like that at all. He's 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.680 just completely like laid back, quiet, keeps to himself. And 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.760 then after the game, I don't know, I think the 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.359 thing that shot out to me I kept thinking about 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.920 is just how you have this nucleus of him Mike 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.800 and Trayvon Diggs that you can build on. I mean, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.880 they're all in their early twenties. How big that that 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.920 could be, you know, going forward on that side of 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.839 the ball. Just because of the time I've covered the 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.200 Cowboys has mostly been very offensive driven, and now they 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.640 got these key pieces on defense. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.159 It really is crazy because I mean the list, like 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.359 you said, it's four names, and the last time it 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.919 happened was nineteen eighty three. Is the last time that 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.000 somebody had four pick sixes in a season? 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.080 And we're ten games in. There's so much room left 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:47.720 to work. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.640 And if you even take away the four pick sixes, 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.800 let's say he doesn't have a single pick six this season. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.360 He's still having a phenomenal year, fantastic year. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.760 But the fact that he scored four touchdowns which ten 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.480 games end of the season, it's more than Tony Pollard, 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.760 It's more than Brandon Cooks, more than most of the 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.640 key pieces not just in Dallas, but on the offensive 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.080 side of the football in the NFL. Four touchdowns is 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.640 a that's a great year for anybody. And he's out 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:16.520 there doing things like that. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.920 Isaiah, Yeah, I mean, he's taking care of business. I 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.680 actually went back and reviewed all of his interceptions last night, 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.200 and you know, I think there's only one that kind 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.400 of fell into his lap. Outside of that, he went 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.400 and got every single one of them. So I mean, 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.480 he's making plays. He's not falling into plays. He's literally 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.440 positioning himself, whether he's closing in on receivers, you know, 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.880 from being two or three yards away the ball gets 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.000 released and he closes that gap by accelerating ridiculously fast, 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.720 or he's going up in high pointing the ball, or 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.560 he's just being Johnny on the spot. No matter what 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.200 it is, he's just he's playing really good ball right now. 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:50.960 You know. 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.840 But even aside from the aside from the turnovers, this dude, 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.160 his coverage is at top of the league right now. 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.760 So that's the thing that people need to spend more 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.200 ten on as well. Obviously, the takeaways is awesome. We 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.200 did the same thing with Trayvon and and dB last 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.560 year when they had those takeaways, but they're consistent. Actual 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:13.000 defense against receivers game in and game out, outside of 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.480 turnovers is something that he needs to be praised for. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.360 What is impressed you most, Like, let's just take the 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.800 one from Sunday, because the way that that route starts, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.560 he's kind of behind a little bit. Yes, and so 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:24.840 there's a part of me where I'm kind of like, 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.880 is the closing speed the most impressive thing? 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:28.200 Is it? 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:28.280 That? 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.680 The ability to get back to his feet and then 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:31.920 the run back down the field? 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.320 Like, what do you think what stood up most to you? 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.280 I mean three yards? 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.000 So he was beat by alignment, just purely off the ball, right, 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:41.319 nothing he can do about that. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:42.800 He lined up outside the receiver. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.200 The receiver decides to run a shallow route, you know, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.760 going away from where he is, so right off the back, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.360 he's losing on the route. Okay, the receiver goes all 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.480 the way across. The receiver made the mistake of going 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.320 of drifting upfield. It's something that they are very adamant 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.520 about teaching receivers. When you're running a shallow route or 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.400 a drive route or anything across the formation, you stay flat. Right, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.240 So say if I'm running down a twenty yard line, 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.200 you want to stay across the twenty yard line and 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.520 maybe even come down hill. You never want to drift 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.880 up field because it allows that defensive back the slit, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.320 the slight opportunity to come underneath your your route. Now, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.400 and that's exactly what the d around blind did. The 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.400 receiver started drifting upfield, maybe about a yard or two, 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.320 not even too maybe about a yard upfield, and that 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.959 little bit of an angle up allowed around Bland and 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.880 he came flat the entire time and he accelerated, took 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.560 that ball straight out of it and tumbled, got up, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.080 did a twinkle toes and kept it going. 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.000 I will say this, and maybe you guys will disagree 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.439 with me on this, but the effort of that wide 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.280 receiver just was so indicative of where I think the 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:45.439 Carolina Panthers are at. 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:46.880 Like it's just like it's it's weird. 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.679 But I'm just saying, like just covering football, there's like 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.680 things like that that will happen that you can just 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.719 tell like, yeah, stuffs probably not going well over there. 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.400 Like without I'm just saying, you didn't get to know. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:56.719 They're not even gonna tell you what the records of 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.160 the two teams are. Just well, just watch this play 0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:59.559 real quick, like you who do you think is having 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:00.559 a good seat and whatever? 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.800 Just like the whole way that I also. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.320 Thought it from our perspective, like, man, we would be 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.079 certainly criticizing that that after effort. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:07.800 Yeah. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.560 I mean, that's that's what I've talked about. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.440 When we're sitting up here and I'm saying, you know, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.880 somebody's like, oh well this players on and off or 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.680 these guys you know lost to this team. I'm like, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.560 players literally have the ability to turn it off, turn 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.520 it on, and if your season's not going well, guys 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.960 are getting the same check regardless. People don't like to 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.679 hear that, right, but it's everybody has a day where 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:29.440 they going to work. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:30.240 And they kind of check a box. 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.080 Is that's saying that's something that you're proud of, but 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.680 everybody has those days recheck a box. When you're losing, 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.280 and you're losing team and you're playing a game that 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.400 can literally mess up your physical well being, you're not 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.720 doing anything extra. If things are in shambles, You're like, Okay, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.720 I'm doing my job, doing my job. Oh that happened, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.000 Oh well, well they're not gonna change anything, you know. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.240 That's that's your natural instinct for most guys. It's just 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.960 like for what, you know, if your coaching staff is 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.040 messed up, if you're having issues with your coaches and 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.240 the front office is trash, if the training staff is 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.160 out there, you know, doing some you know shenanigans on 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.480 the back. And there's a whole lot of things that 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:08.240 go on within a professional football organization that will lead 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.160 players to turn the switch off, and when things are 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.120 going well, it's easier and easier than not just to 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:14.680 keep it off. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.560 Is that indicative of bad coaching? 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.240 The fact that player I mean, I know players will 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.600 naturally do that, but is in a coach's job to 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.560 make sure they're in that means? 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.319 But if you don't care for your coach, the d 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.000 do given no extra effort, or if. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.319 You know that your coach isn't going to be there 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.400 that long. You got a three four year deal. This 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.000 my guy's then going to be here for another six games, 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:35.760 you'll probably be gone. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.720 Now times where you will see guys effort up higher. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.280 And I know what I'm saying people don't want to hear, 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:40.640 but I'm just. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.160 Telling you the truth. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.240 Okay, that's just what behind the scenes scene. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.920 So if somebody's in their contract year, Oh are you 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.040 gonna get hustle? Yeah, you're gonna get the You're gonna 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.120 get the Kung Fou hustle. Because now all of a sudden, 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:51.760 everything I do is on film and you need to 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.200 see it and I need to make sure I have 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:54.120 all positive players. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.480 Call it the Kung Fu hustle and food hustle maybe yeah. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.280 Yeah for me, and I think probably I think a 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.320 lot of Cowboys do feel the same way. Is that 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.000 on a Cowboys team that gets so much of a 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.080 spotlight on it, there's one if things are going badly 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.840 and if you do something wrong, like we'll just use 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.120 the Carolina Panthers as an example because they just play 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:13.600 them all right. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.160 We were talking about this in the press box twenty twenty. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:17.960 Yeah. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.200 One of the highlights of twenty twenty, which is a 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.000 low light, is Xavier Woods doing the Zoom interview saying 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.360 about how well you're not gonna go out there and 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.520 make every play. Yeah, hey, say that for the Carolina Panthers. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.120 We won't even know about it. That thing led Sports 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:31.719 Center when he did. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:32.240 Yeah I did. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.120 I will never forget that. And I mean it's just 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:35.920 something like that. But like the Cowboys, so on one 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.439 side it's magnified. The other is when things are going well, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.720 why wouldn't you want to be part of like the 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.760 Cowboys team that finally won a Super Bowl after twenty 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:44.920 seven plus whatever year. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:45.520 So there. 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.760 It just is a little bit different with the Cowboys 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.720 because if you do some of that stuff, it's giving 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.920 me the major talking point like for the next couple 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:52.800 of days nationally. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.679 Oh, they'll be household names if they ever get it done. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.719 And they're already household names because they're part of the 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.440 Dallas Cowboys. But even more so than what what it 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.079 is now, it'd be unbelievable the amount of attention that's 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.280 already on this team if they are the ones that 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.440 finally in that drought that's. 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:09.000 I don't even know. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.800 I mean that year, twenty twenty year because we you know, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.240 it was during the pandemic, so we did all those 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.040 zoom interviews. I'm telling you two my biggest takeaways that 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.560 are not takeaways memories from twenty twenty are literally the 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.640 Xavier would saying that on the call and then the 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:22.800 defensive corner are getting hot. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.880 Sauce in his eye. Again. That was like a thing 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.680 that was like led Sports Center. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.760 Don't worry me, didn't you didn't you didn't lead Sports Center? 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.880 Nah No, not not this time. I want a backshark 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:33.320 real quick. 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.640 Which of Bland's interceptions do you think landed in his lap. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.600 Was it the rams one or the giants when we're 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.080 trying off popping off to the Trademon Traymon, I feel 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.679 like the rams one was kind of given to him too. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.640 I mean it was a bad decision, but he went 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.199 up and Hyph pointed it and got it right. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.520 It was like super underthrown and it just went right 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.080 into his Yeah. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.240 From yeah, Stafford threw out into the flat. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.840 And it was super right away right there. I mean 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.920 it was it was good instincts, yes, but it kind 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:58.520 of felt. 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.840 So even though I was just curious what even on 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:01.160 that one. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.360 I watched that one last night as well. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.320 Even on that one, he was in position and he 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.360 still had to cut and make go make a play 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.199 on it, right, the one one Trayvon Trayvon made hit him. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.640 He hits Sakuon Barkley. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.920 The ball popped up they were playing z on and 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.800 it just laying it in his lat right. So that 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.640 was more so like the one that he kind of 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.080 fell into. It still was in position, all that kind 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.160 of jazz. But that was the one that I say, 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.480 he didn't have to work for all the other ones. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.760 He went and got himself the thing I keep. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.760 Thinking about too, is that okay? 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.680 So what point does it get where quarterbacks will stop 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:32.720 testing a guy? 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.280 And then I just think of, well, if. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.200 You have him on one side and then you know 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.640 Diggs on the other when he's healthy, like, well, you're 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.600 gonna still have to throw to somebody, Like you're gonna 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.360 have to target somebody, Like I can't just not throw 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.400 to one side. It's one thing when it's like that 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.800 year with like when the Jets went out got Durrell Reebs, 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.280 It's like, well, don't throw over to Revas's side, you know, 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.800 do something. And I think they had Crimarti on the 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.760 other side or whatever. Someone's gonna get terrible. But I'm 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.840 just saying, like it was all right, just don't don't throw. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:57.560 You're not gonna throw. 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.800 But now if you've got two guys, like what are 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:01.320 you going to do? 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.400 And then you have Micah rush in the passer and 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.200 everything that comes with that, all the extra attention and 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.520 stuff like that. I mean, the Cowboys are in a 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.640 good spot defensively going forward. 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.160 Yeah, it's really exciting to see there's guys stepping up 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.400 every week. But Ron play man, it's really cool to 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.960 see what he's doing real quickly. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:18.600 Before we take our first break, do we have any 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:19.120 news and nothing. 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.680 Yeah, we'll just address the injury report that came out 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.680 of yesterday. Since it is a short week, there are 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.640 three practice days, you know how Typically Tuesday, typically Mondays 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.160 and Tuesdays are kind of slow around here. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.360 Not the case this week. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.200 They the Cowboys had a practice walk through yesterday, so 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.000 they released an injury report kind of an estimation had 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.040 they had a full practice, and there were a few 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.360 guys that did not practice. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:41.760 A couple of guys that did not practice. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.240
