All right, so let's let's jump right 28 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: in it. Your take coming into this game as a fan, lifelong, 29 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: huge Cowboys fan, What was your take coming into this game? 30 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: You were at the game, and then what was the 31 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: vibe after the game? My take coming in uh was 32 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: I wanted us to make a statement. I wasn't cool 33 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: with just to win. I was like, we need I 34 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: need to see the team, you know, not the potential, 35 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: Like we need to see it. And watching the game, 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: it was just like, Okay, this is this is the 37 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: team that we believe is there and you know, hopefully 38 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: for me, the mindset is like everybody's being nitpicky about 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: getting in the playoffs and all of this, and I'm like, no, 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: we gotta go on a run, Like yeah, we have 41 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: to have the mindset of we need to go six 42 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: and oh and then see what happens after that. So 43 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: we want to know now and let's let's see how 44 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 1: we ride. None. Let me ask you this question as 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the game was happening. You're there, you're in person, you're alive, 46 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: and you've seen what this season has been all year long, 47 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: up and down roller coaster ride. At what point in 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: time of the game did you feel comfortable with two 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: minutes now? This game was one? What was that? It 50 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: was one play? Well, my guys came with me to 51 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: the game. We were all like, no, you need to 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: score again, to score again, score again. I forget. It 53 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: was somewhere in the third quarter. But you know, um, 54 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: I mean golf didn't look too good man, he looked 55 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: kind of off. He missed a couple of passes, and 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: that the first quarter that it might have been a 57 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: different game. Yeah. I thought the d played solid. They 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: were consistent. I was most impressed by um Kellen Moore's 59 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: uh he adjusted, you know, because those first two series 60 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: was like, oh, come on, let's not do this again. 61 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: Just run the ball, dude, anyone knows what's gonna happen, 62 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: Just to do it, you know, you man up and 63 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: moved those men, and once we got to that, and 64 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of little cute plays here and there. 65 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: But I thought he made some good adjustments after the 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: first two drives offensive drives. You know, I went into 67 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: this game and I tried not to psych myself out 68 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: because I was like, this game doesn't really matter, like 69 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. But 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: the closer it got to game time, this game mattered 71 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: a lot. And not on paper because you still you 72 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: beat the Eagles, you beat the red Skins in your end, 73 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: whether you'd want to lost this game, right, but this 74 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: game meant a lot because they needed this game to 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: prove to themselves we can beat a good team. We 76 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: haven't beat a good team all year. To me, beating 77 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: a team and beating them the way they did, like 78 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: this could be huge. Like I still don't think anybody 79 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: no but this, but see, all right, this is where 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: I get a little bit. I get a little frustrated, 81 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: and people come down on me because they always say 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm negative, Nancy, I'm just the voice of reason. I'm 83 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: the voice. I'm the voice of reason. This is the 84 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: part where I get a little bit upset because we 85 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: watched this team play yesterday and you're saying Tony Pollock bawling, charling, bawling, 86 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: even the old men of the backyard, Winton, balling, Swan 87 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: leave and you I get so frustrated. I'm saying, where 88 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: the hell is this? Where has it been all year? Like? 89 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: If they played like this last last night against the Packers, 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: they went right against the Orleans they went they beat 91 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the Jets by fifty. They play like this, they beat 92 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: they beat every they beat just about every single too. 93 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: That's the part that's frustrating, because I don't know where 94 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: to point the finger. I was. I was at a 95 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: charity event a couple a week of ter ago one 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: of the prominent players on this team, and I asked him, 97 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: I said, well, what's the issue, and he was just like, 98 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, because we look at it and we 99 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: go we have everything here, but we can't put our 100 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: finger on what's wrong. And then they go out and 101 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: they play like this, and now everyone's like super Bowl, 102 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Lets like we forgot about what happened three weeks ago 103 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and That's the frustrating part because I'm sitting there saying, Okay, 104 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: we're seven and seven, and we were more we were 105 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: more like we were three weeks ago than we were tonight. 106 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: There's more there's what we saw three weeks ago. There's 107 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: more evidence of that on film than there is what 108 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: we saw last night and against Philly. This is the outlier, 109 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: right So now I'm saying, what team packed, what team 110 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: will be packed on that plan to go to Philly 111 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: next week. That's a good question. I think. I think 112 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: you can attribute it to to something or someone or 113 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: a group of people, and to me, it's it's it's 114 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: the coaching, it really is, you know, and not knocking Garrett, 115 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying as a fan, you know, watching 116 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: from the outside, teams take on the attitudes of their coaches, 117 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, or coaching staff, and so that sort of 118 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: lasa fair. You know, the last three weeks, U you know, 119 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: we're coming in, we're big shots, and you know, we 120 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: have a good first drive and then we get punched 121 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: in the mouth. It's a difference. Backs up against the 122 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: wall right now. You know, jobs seem like they are 123 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: on the line right now. He's a group of grown 124 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: men trying to feed their families. And that's what I 125 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: saw in the field yesterday, like all the hype is 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: out the window. We need to go out there and 127 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: really perform, and they need to, you know, how do 128 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: you to your point? How do you you know, pack 129 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: that attitude did and get on a plane and let's 130 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: get on this run. That's interesting to me because I 131 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: almost took an opposite point of view and that I 132 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: thought when I was watching that game with the man, 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: these guys are playing so much more aggressive, so much 134 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: harder to me, and I was in my mind, I'm thinking, 135 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: what what did the coaches say to you know, flip 136 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: that switch? They showed the highlight film, but hey, I 137 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: want if it works, everybody's knock something. It was different, 138 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: But to me, I thought it came from within. I thought, 139 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: the players are doing this the coaches. What could the 140 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: how could the coaches get them to play harder? We 141 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: talked about that some last week. I don't know if 142 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: they could have and whatever the reason, the players they 143 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: took it up a notch. I thought, yeah, but how 144 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: do we This is my things as a as a 145 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: formal player, right and you and I had this conversation 146 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: UM pre show last week, and I think it was 147 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: Nick Saban Bill Belichick's head it You don't have to 148 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: motivate a lion to kill, right, that's true. Right, So 149 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: why does my back have to be the wall? Why? 150 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: Why does my back has to be against the wall 151 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: for me to come out and play like this? Why 152 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: why do I have to be embarrassed for four three 153 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: or four weeks in a row, three and seven in 154 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: the last or four and seven in the last eleven 155 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: games for me to have to come out and play 156 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: like this? You see what I'm saying. And to me, 157 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: that's where the fraudulent play comes in the part for me, it's, oh, 158 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: I got my backs against the wall. My job's on 159 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: the line. This, all these other factors have to come 160 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: into play for me to step up and go. All right, 161 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: now to time for me to go and be a dog. Well, 162 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to motivate a lion to kill. But 163 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: you know a lion can't kill if he's caged. And 164 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: I'm saying that in the sense of you gotta put 165 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: these guys in the right position, you gotta you know, 166 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and then they can 167 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: use their talents. You know, to your point, I thought 168 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: the guys were playing a lot harder. They were also 169 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: playing as a group, you know, on both sides of 170 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: the ball, especially on defense, it seemed like it was 171 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: one body moving around versus you know, different bodies moving around, 172 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: and that I haven't seen that in a few weeks. 173 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: You know. It just seemed like everybody's out there doing 174 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: their own thing. And when we have that type of 175 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: synergy and that type of gel, you know, who knows. 176 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not gonna you know, we're not saying, hey, 177 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: we're going to the super Bowl, but you know, we 178 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: showed that we're formidable. And I've been saying it the 179 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: whole time. Look, giants, they want to chip at nine 180 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: and seven, so the numbers don't really matter. Is if 181 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: you get into the tournament, it's one game at the time. 182 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: That's interesting that you said that, because a lot of 183 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: talk the last week, especially last couple of weeks, we've 184 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: been hearing from various people within the building that everybody's 185 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: on a different page, everybody's doing their own thing. And 186 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: for you to say hero ball, for you to say, 187 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: watching it as a fan, it looked like every body 188 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: was playing as a team is really interesting because that's 189 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: been what we think might be the biggest problem is 190 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to go do their own thing, and I 191 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: play within the system, right because when you're not putting 192 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: the right position, it kind of forces you to do that, 193 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I think that I 194 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: think a big thing is identity. You know, who are we? 195 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: And I think you know, first people have been saying 196 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: the first you know, our first three games, all those 197 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: teams sucked. Yeah, after the fact, that was another professional 198 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: football team when we played them. So it was all 199 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season. Okay, we you know, 200 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: we had some losses. I mean, we could have beat 201 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: the Packers, could have beat the Saints and um we 202 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: hell those guys, right, But the identity to me came 203 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: out yesterday. It was just like, this is who we 204 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: are week this is who we can be in week fourteen. 205 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: That's That's okay though, because it's not a the seasons. 206 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: The seasons you want to get into the tournament, right, 207 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: and that's one thing, you know, bringing up the Patriots, 208 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: that's one thing that Belichick is figured out is how 209 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: to get those men to peak at the right time, 210 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: and it's it's a different season. We get into the tournament, 211 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: it's it's the playoffs. So I'm cool with peak starting 212 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: to peek now versus you know, a few weeks ago. 213 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: I just find it. I just find it hard that 214 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: it takes you fourteen weeks to formulate an identity. I 215 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: think you want to kind of have that on your 216 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: way into the season and then to develop it as 217 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: the season going along. I think week fourteen to say. 218 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: And even so, let me ask you this question, you 219 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: think this is a mirage. We just saw the decision 220 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: the team we're going to see down the road. I 221 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: don't know, does anyone do we know? Is anything confident 222 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: that I'm just saying, But I'm just I'm just saying, like, 223 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: is is there anything I'll put it? I'll put it 224 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: in the perspective that that you did with on your 225 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: your profession. Okay, you know that when you shoot a movie, 226 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: they're certain directors and producers that's about their stuff, right, 227 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: And you know when you blessing when I when I 228 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: work with this director, it's gonna be boom boom boom 229 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: boom boom, and it's gonna be legit and everything's gonna 230 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: be ready and everything, and then you got someone you're like, 231 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't really know this dude, I don't really know 232 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: this lady. I don't really know how they work. So 233 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: the expectations a little bit off. And so when you 234 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: go when you when you go and work with that 235 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: dude or that woman, you know that this is going 236 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: to be a well oiled machine, and your thought process 237 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: is different opposed to when you go and deal with 238 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: someone that you really don't know how it's going to be. 239 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: I think that's what we're at with this team. It's 240 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: do we have anything solid enough to know when I 241 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: go and work with Spike, it's gonna be boom right, 242 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: opposed to when I go and work with this one, 243 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't really know what it's gonna be. Well, so 244 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: you hope for the best, but you don't really know. 245 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: That's a that's a great observation. But between both of 246 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: those scenarios, I still bring my a game. Doesn't matter 247 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: if it's you know, this well known director or this 248 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: unknown director. I'm bringing a thousand percent. And to your point, 249 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, within the team, I think you know the 250 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: guys have to step up to the play it. Really 251 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: you got to go off of the eye test. We 252 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: can't overthink this, you know. At the end of the day, 253 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: the team is what we saw in the field yesterday, 254 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: you know. And I know people like to throw around 255 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: stats and analytics, and it's that old Mike Tyson thing. 256 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Everybody has a plan until they get pushed in the face, right, 257 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: you know. So we you know, if that team shows 258 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: up for the next few weeks, we're gonna be formidable 259 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: and I'll take our chances against anybody. I agree, Yeah, 260 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: I agree. And it's kind of funny you brought that 261 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: up because that saying has been on those video boards 262 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: around the building in a training table, it says we 263 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: are who we are, and it's like who are we? Like, 264 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: are we the team that we've seen the last you know, 265 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: thirteen weeks, or are we the team we saw yesterday, 266 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: which for me, I'm not buying in yet, Like, show 267 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: me who you are. Do it again. We can do 268 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: it again we saw yesterday, and do it again. We 269 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: run the ball, we're built to run on offense in 270 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: past second, We've got weapons on the outside, men move men. 271 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: That's the team's identity and that's what I loved about yesterday. 272 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't cute. See it wasn't It was like the 273 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: whole stadium knows about to handoff the zeke. There's nothing 274 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: more demoralized than I would imagine for a defensive player, 275 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: like we just can't stop. You know, we know what 276 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: they're doing. We know what they're doing, and that's to me, 277 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: that's the identity. And then the d gets amped up 278 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: and now they're playing together. We got a little bit 279 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: of it. I hope hopefully we get more of a 280 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: pass rush moving forward. But you know, d Backs were playing. 281 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: Sean Lee had that incredible that I think going back, 282 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: that was the moment where I thought the game was 283 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: over once he got that interception and the way that 284 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: he ran it back because he didn't just get it 285 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: and like, oh we got it, he was like I'm 286 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: trying to score it. To me, that that play sort 287 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: of personified the urgency that the team has right now. 288 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: So again, hopefully they can bottle that up. I like, 289 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: I want them to be frustrated. I want them to 290 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: be on edge, you know, and explode on a few 291 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: let's take our first break. Another question. I was just thinking, 292 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: I was sure saying to myself, Shanley, you get down down. Yeah, 293 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: all right, let's take our first break.

There's a long 390 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: story behind that, um but that that moment was for 391 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: a bigger purpose. That moment was for a greater purpose God. 392 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: God wanted me to have something else.

After that he welcome and then and 403 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: then the legend, the legend of Tony Romo does not 404 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: live like it does when him playing through the broken 405 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: rod out me.

He had messages 414 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: quad up against the Jets that week one. I think 415 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: it was we played a nine to eleven in Week 416 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: one against the Reeves and he messages quad up and 417 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: couldn't play.

But I just 434 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: want to see where you're at as a fan. I 435 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: have friends. In fact, the majority of my friends that 436 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: are Cowboy fans did not want us to win yesterday 437 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: because they want to make sure this coaching staff does 438 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: not come back and if this team gets hot and 439 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: they make a deep runt in the playoffs. Friends, No, 440 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: this is Cowboy fans in general. I feel like I 441 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: want to know you as a fan. Are you because 442 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: Nate's the opposite. Nate's like, No, I want to win 443 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: every game, whether we're in it or not.

I want to 448 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: win every game, okay, you know, and I want it 449 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: to be what it is. I want to deal with 450 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: the truth or what it is. And that's what I've 451 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: said before, Like I'm not worried about numbers and this, 452 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: that and the other. We win, we get into the tournament, 453 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: and then let's see what happens if we can keep 454 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: If I'm telling you, if we can play like we 455 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: played yesterday, I'll take my chance. Here comes to voice 456 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: of reason. I see no, no, no, no, I just 457 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: I just want more evidence of it, right, show me again, 458 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: that's it, and then again and then again. I want 459 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: to be able to go into the football court of 460 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: law and have a definitive case of why we should 461 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: believe right. I don't want to go on the court 462 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: of football law and go well like, I want to 463 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: be able to say, here it is, and be able 464 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: to lay out in a full gamut of evidence of 465 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: why we should really believe that this team is capable 466 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: of because I've been around here, You've been around here, 467 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: You've been a lifelong fan, You've been around it forever, 468 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: and it's been twenty plus years of us hearing the 469 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: same thing. Is that next years our year, next years 470 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: our year, that window that this is the biggest day 471 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: in window I ever seen in my life. I'm sure 472 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: you got a nice home with good tall ceilings and 473 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: big window. That's a pretty big window. We keep saying 474 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: this over and over and over and over again, and 475 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: eventually the window I said this a week or so ago, 476 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: like Jerry doesn't have a long time to keep having 477 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: this thing reading rebuilt, like the money won't the lifespan 478 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: and the money and the talent won't It just won't 479 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: go long enough, because eventually, after next year, you're gonna 480 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: have one hundred million dollars quarterback. You're gonna have a 481 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: ninety million dollar running back. You're gonna have a ninety 482 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: million dollar defensive end. You can probably have another ninety 483 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: million dollars receiver. You're gonna have a seventy five million 484 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: dollars running corner. You're gonna have all this money is 485 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to start paying these guys. And then 486 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: it comes to a point where is oh, by the way, 487 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: I add a new coach into that Mexical. I don't, 488 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: honestly don't think no matter what happens in this situation, 489 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: I don't think Jarre's gonna bring Jason carrittback. I was 490 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: gonna ask you that. I don't think so. Even if 491 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: let's just say, let's say we get to the conference championship, 492 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: I think you gotta win it. You gotta win the 493 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Now, I think you gotta win the conference championship. 494 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: Then I think it's some real that's a hard sell. 495 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a hard sell. Tigre, I agree, that's 496 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: gonna be an amazingly hard sell. You know how bad 497 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: I think you know how bad he wants to keep Jason, 498 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: Like he doesn't want to get rid of Jason. He 499 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: wants him to go win. If he goes and takes 500 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: you to a super Bowl, you really think he's gonna 501 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: run out of here because my thing is as Jason, 502 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: and this is this is from the man perspective. If 503 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm Jason Garrett, well, I'm not giving you a hometown 504 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: discount now, Jerry, because you put me out on the 505 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: fence to hang and dry, like you you you literally 506 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: hung me out to dry this year. So now when 507 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: if I if I happen to win it and I 508 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: come back to the table, I'm taxing you the next 509 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: five years that my condic is gonna right. You hung 510 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: me out there? How do you hang them out there? 511 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: You let me walk into this season with no contract extension. 512 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: You gave me a rookie offensive coordinator, and you took 513 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: the play call and dudes away from me. You literally 514 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: said you because we did it your way and it 515 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: wasn't working. So you're saying that your job is on 516 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: the line and you can't drive the boat. You've had 517 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: ten years, right, so now that I've proven you wrong, 518 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: when I come back to negotiating table, I'm not giving 519 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: you a discount. We've been bashing these coaches whole season 520 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: for not having the team ready, game playing, all that 521 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Do I deserve credit for yesterday? I 522 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: think so. I think so. I think the whole team 523 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: does it. Just in it seemed like there was a 524 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: unity there. Again. I thought Moore made some some play 525 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: calling adjustments that I haven't seen him making the past 526 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: few weeks. Um hit. The way to look at Garrett, 527 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: or the way that I look at Garrett is, let's say, 528 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: you know they part ways. You see him being a 529 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: head coach somewhere else in the NFL yep, like the 530 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: next year yep. Or do you think he's got to 531 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: go be a coordinator work his way back in? You 532 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: know how this works in this league. This league is 533 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of recyclable coaches. It's a boys club. And 534 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: look at some of the worst coaches they get, they 535 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: get new jobs somewhere else. I do think so. I mean, 536 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: there's there's jobs like Miami, there's jobs like Cincinnati. There's 537 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: jobs like Washington. Um Dar, in Washington, you just named 538 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: two jobs people on one Yeah, the me, the head 539 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: coach of Miami or the Dangles me really better to 540 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: be employed than other. Yeah, yeah, I mean there's that. Yeah. 541 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying, like I mean, there's there's 542 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of jobs where people are gonna be and 543 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: you know how you know how it is with the Cowboys. 544 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: Everybody always thinks it's almost it's the same effect with 545 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick right now. None of his assistants, maybe one 546 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: in Houston kind of have a little bit of success. 547 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: None of his assistants has success, but they all think 548 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: if we can pluck from that coaching tree that maybe 549 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: we get a little bit of sprinkled on us. It 550 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: doesn't work. Same thing with the players, right Bill. He 551 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: grows these players, and people snatch them and they pay 552 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: them all his money and they don't work out, and 553 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: then Bill brings them back after their contracts. Well except 554 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: for Jimmy Gum, but I do I think I think 555 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: Rever heard about that to your earlier point. I think 556 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: there's a difference between the hype and the brand of 557 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the realistic part of what the team is. 558 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: And for me, I've always been a realistic fan I 559 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: remember doing first Take a few years back and was 560 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: talking to Skip and I was like, we're gonna be 561 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 1: eight and eate. I mean's just let's just deal with 562 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: what it is, you know, so you can't get caught 563 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: up in the hype. But I think, you know, since 564 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: the dak era has begun and Zeke, it's been this 565 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: like wait a minute, We've we've got something here, you 566 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: know that could and as all the pieces are coming together, 567 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: and it's just like, you can't. I mean, you can't 568 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: knock Jerry. Jerry's an incredible owner, incredible businessman, and you 569 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: can knock him. And so he had to do what 570 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: he had to do this year with Garrett, I think, 571 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: light the fire underneath him. What's that saying? You can't 572 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, doing the same thing and expect different results, 573 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: you know. So it's like, hey, we need, you know, 574 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: bringing some young blood here, some young blood here, and 575 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: let's see how you perform. All right. So, as a 576 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: realistic Cowboys fan, right, you just saw this game and 577 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: you're like, okay, wow, what's it take for you to 578 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: buy in and be because obviously that's the outlier. They 579 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: haven't put a game like that together all season started 580 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: out really good and then it's just been you know, 581 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: the first good team they beat. What does a realistic 582 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan get you to buy in and say this 583 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: is a this is a good team and this team 584 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: can go deep into the playoffs or we were talking 585 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: about this this morning. We gotta beat Philly obviously, right, Okay, 586 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: Then dude and we were debating, Okay, do you sit 587 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: players when we play the Redskins or do you keep 588 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: you keep the steam rolling. I don't think Garrett sit 589 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: to anybody. He's got to play. So let's say we 590 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: we we then and then it just depends on who 591 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: we playing in that in the wild card, like who 592 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: who's that gonna be? Who do you want to play? 593 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: Because you're talking about now the Niners, Vikings or Seahawks. 594 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: I'd rather take the Vikings first. Can you get that 595 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: confidence under our belt and then take let's you know what, 596 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: let's go to Seattle, you know, and then let's let's 597 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: let's face the forty to forty nine is a for 598 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: real I mean to see, they're all for real, but 599 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: the forty nine is are like I could see them, 600 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: you know at the end of the at the end 601 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: of the pounding. You still got green Bay, So we 602 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: don't know how it's gonna don't want it. You definitely 603 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: don't want to see a Green Bay. Just we the 604 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: process of that, the mental the mental aspect though, the 605 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: thought process. Oh you said you were realistic. I am, 606 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: I am. You know, the Green Bay as a team, 607 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: what are their weapons? It doesn't doesn't matter what weapons 608 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: that if they have to come here. That man beat 609 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: us on one leg. When you're think about that, oh, 610 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: he came into a game with a strange calf and 611 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: we knew it right. It wasn't like it was a 612 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: secret that man stood a shotgun with one leg and 613 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: wore us out. I think just a mental part of it. 614 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: I see Aaron Rod is a cannon. I think that 615 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: part scared Just the mental part of it scares me. 616 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: It's like, but if we wouldn't get to that point, 617 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: that mentality might be flipped around like they're chomping at 618 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: the bit, you know, because that was the other thing 619 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: about yesterday's game, and sort of like the subtext of 620 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: it is like, damn, these dudes whooped on us slash shit. 621 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: And and I saw that too. I saw a personal 622 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: part of it, like we need to get some get back. 623 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: So I think they would feel it same way about 624 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay. I will tell you this, this is probably 625 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: the first year looking at opponents that I would maybe 626 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: want to play Green Bay before i'd want to play 627 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers or the Seahawks, especially on the road. 628 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: I think I think i'd almost oh yeah, forgot about 629 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: the saint That's the team you don't want to see 630 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: because the difference between Aaron Rodgers and Brady and Breeze 631 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: or the coach. Correct, ye, okay, you I don't want 632 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: to see Belichick, you know what I mean. And you 633 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: don't want to see Sean pay Yeah, you know I 634 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: want you. But this new guy, I'll take my chances 635 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: with me on the floor. I think right now we 636 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: faced the forty nine Ers in the first round and 637 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: then have to go to Seattle. So here at home 638 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: and then go to Seattle. I mean, it's not gonna 639 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: be an easy road no matter what happens to But 640 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: forty nine has got that defense is for real. But 641 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: to your point earlier, if you can guarantee me, like 642 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: if you can say I'm putting a house that the 643 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: team that we saw last night's gonna get on any 644 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: plane or coming to any stadium, I'm betting, okay, oh yeah, 645 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: if you can guarantee me that that team was coming, 646 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm putting that team. I don't think against anytime. I 647 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: don't think anybody wants any part of that team. That 648 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: was because yesterday that was I would say four phases. 649 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: That was four phases of good football. Offense, defense, special teams, 650 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: and coaching. Last night we haven't seen that type of 651 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: performance with all four phases being just dominant. I don't 652 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: think we've seen that all year long with the last 653 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: What they need to do to prove that to you? Like, 654 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: is it these last two games or is it getting 655 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: in and win in the first round?

I'll give you. 671 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. And it wasn't football based. 672 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: It was my national championship basketball team. We played Georgia 673 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: Tech for some reason. This year, the ACC tournament was 674 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: in DC. We played Georgia Tech and the first game 675 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: we played, we didn't play well. We didn't play any defense. 676 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: Coach with screaming at us, and we just squeaked by. 677 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: And then we came and we played Tech the next game. 678 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: And we'll buy him, we'll buy him, and Jared Jack 679 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: put a whooping on I think we'll buy him.
