And while we do that, because our boss, the great leader that we have, Derek Eagleton send out of the email and say, hey, guys, you all should have these nice headphones that bols have given us. Thank you, thank you. Hey, guys, bring your headphones to the to the gig on Thursday and Friday? Did you bring your headphones? I did? Kurt?

Did you bring your headphones? Rings? I sure did? Na Nay, did you bring your headphones? Oh my, damite, been but I'm just glad to be able. I see it is the biggest dude. I was seated by Live. See if they're working now you got us? Could you hear us? Oh? Man? Clear? All right, all right, now what's up? Coach? Now? Just up baby, Now we can start the show. Nate's holler than everybody baby. All the scouts are walking across and

Nate's screaming and everything. You do realize we're doing a show, right, and I'm with this RV. We're I wish I was inside this RV. Nate as a big guy, as a fat man extrating there they cut a big guy yesterday that apparently it came out yesterday that he was thirty pounds overweight. What is it not? Seven weeks into the season. Break that down for us. How to seven pieces of Night, two cases Bill, twenty one piece chicken over the whole

off season, tweeted what was he doing the previous six months? Right? If? If? If? Because the report comes out. The report came out and said that he would he never felt right after the injury that he had last year, and that he would use the next month or so to put to use the next month or so to get hisself in game shape. The hell was he doing the last six months? And why was this accepted? Because when I played, and I know for Dawn Show, when they played, we had this

thing and we did it on Thursday mornings. There was a guy who was standing at the weight machine every Thursday morning. And when I played, you got fined for being you got fined. It was like two hundred and seventy nine dollars per pound per day when I played. So who Because again, a lot of times when it comes to players and now you want to start blaming, you know, blaming coaches. Here's why I will blame a coach players and this is I will say this, this

is equal. If they're if they're women listening to this, I'm gonna give you a little nugget inside the man's world. Players and men, we only do and continue to do what you allow us to get away with. That's a great point. That's a great point. If you allow us to get away with it as players and as men, we will continue to do it until it's checked. So, ladies, if you're listening, Uncle Joseph's giving you a bit of

a nugget into the into the man's world. Fellas, if you're listening, I'm giving you a nugget into the locker rooms world. If you allow it, they will continue to do it. So who allow this man to be thirty pounds overweight? For the last six months he was getting fined And wasn't he at least maybe yeah, he was getting fined money wise, I don't know about body wise, but it wasn't It wasn't doing nothing. It wasn't help help.

Let me let me say this right here, man, please do because I want the insight of a big man. Say this right here. Uh, And don't just give us a while when when you when you set up as a player, you know and I'm and I'm guilty. Off the off season, man, I would get your tremendous weight game, but I would also six weeks out of eight weeks out before the season starts. I have him. I have my own personal guy will go to and his name is Mike Spots. He lives in Florida. He bought a

ten thousand square foot home off my money. Uh. I'm gonna tell you something. You have to care, man. You have to care because your last few years is what people are gonna remember. They can't even remember it. Finally, as you're going out giving what you had, like, okay, age at you, but you don't want to say, Waite got me. Age may get Tom Brady, Age may get grunk, Age may get Jason Witten, but it won't be like, yeah, man, he was just sorry from the start, got fat, got slopping,

got yeah. That's bad man, that's a bad perception to leave. And I just don't understand how the coaches let this go on. I want attack coaches too much. I won't say nothing about those guys. Don't worry, I will. But how did you How did you let a guy be overweight? And you have Gallamore as a rookie, You have Antoine Woods who's a second or third year guy, and you letting them see this and it's acceptable I am so

glad that you finally made the right move. So these young guys who know that this is not the way the Dallas Cowboys are gonna conduct business, you know, and I and believe me, Jimmy Johnson was looking for me once. Time was that we had a off season drills he wanted us to do and he said, on this day, I need everybody there and two weeks untwo and he came out. It's like, where where's Nate? Where's Nate? Because normally, you know, y'all know, I'm always joking and having fun

and laugh like, where's Nate. I don't hear him? Where Coach? Nate's in Florida? Like what he's doing in Florida. He's working out, he's losing weight. And Jimmy was mad, you know, he called Mike Spots, what the hell going on? Well, he's just lost about seventy five pounds in one week. Coach. We'll keeping the getting shade. You know, as long as you are trying to do the best you can do as a player, and there's too many ways that you

can lose weight uh fast. It ain't the right way, it's not the proper way, but it's if this guy wanted to get weight off him, it was ways for him to get weight off him. He didn't care. Yeah, I think, and I think we've we've talked about culture and you're starting to see you know, them getting rid of guys. You know, word, he's gone, Griffin's gone, pos now gone. There's rumors that there might be other guys

that are gonna be gone before the trade deadline. Is it is it too late or is this the right time to start it and say okay, we're not going to tolerate this going forward, this is the standard. Is this changing the culture? Yes? I mean, like Jesse said yesterday, and he put it in a nice and in a very very smart way, you know, h it caught up

with the cowboys. The eight and eights finally caught up with the cowboys to the point where they miscalculated on a few guys and it almost sunk them to the point where the young guys don't know where to go. I mean, you could say one thing, you can say, you can teach on the film, you can show guys the right thing, and then they look at a veteran who can't even do the smallest in a little detailed things. Them young players ain't listening to that, like, wow, man,

you're telling me to fill a gap. And this dude just got blue back twelve yards off the ball and you haven't said a word to him. So yeah, it ain't never too late, and it ain't never too late. Now the season has almost been lost. But to start today what you want next year and the following year is never too late. Kurt. Yeah, I think it's definitely not too late, especially because the season might be lost.

I mean, you got to you gotta build something. Stop right there, Kurt, because if we win Sunday Night first place in the division, we are in the DA, the easiest schedule left according to experts, the entire NFL. From Kurt, but Nick him, I'm gonna make sure you get the flu. Don't do that. Don't do that. Yes, see any feedback on that culture. No too late. No, it's never too late for change. It's never too late for change. Now the season is done, you can go with the almost

of the might. The season is done, Okay, so this is the time now to start changing the culture. And to Nate's point, into curse point, you're absolutely right. For the younger guys, this is what they see. They've seen a guy come into meetings, they've seen a guy watch film, they watched the film. They've seen a guy on Sunday who got absolutely destroyed weekend and week out. And this is sometimes we talk about losing locker rooms and we talk about losing players. This is a culture that has

been developed over time. And so you wonder why people don't go out and say, well, why isn't anyone say anything? Because they're all in this pot together, They've all been taught these ways together. And you guys hate when I bring this up, but when you look at how New England runs the organization, that would have never been accepted. What we're two months into the season, almost three months

into the season, thirty pounds overweight. Bill would have got build have said, listen, son, First of all, here's your can't wait that you will report at. Then when you don't report to that way, I'm gonna find you to the max. Then after about a week or so, when I didn't see Bill didn't see any progress, you'd have

been gone. You would have been gone because the culture of my locker room and the standards of my team is far greater than any other player that we can bring in here, because if I let you do that, then I'm telling fifty two plus other guys it is okay. And there has and the biggest issue is and I can put some blame on Mike McCarthy, but the way the culture has been before he got here, there was never anyone was never no one was ever challenged. No

player was challenged. Their position wasn't challenged, their playing time wasn't challenged. None of that stuff was challenged. I guarantee you Zeke fumbling two weeks ago, he might have not played the second half. I watched Jonas Gray run for the for the Patriots and have almost two hundred and plus yards rushing three touchdowns, and he came late to a meeting on Monday. He didn't even dress on Sunday. There's a player of the Week before I remember that

didn't even dress the next game. In a in a playoff game, west Walker came out of his mouth and spoke about something other than his self or better his team with his director Flying Feet comment. White Feet comment, Westwalker didn't play the first half of a playoff game. Your best receiver. But that is the standard, and you never have to worry about the standard being broken if you hold everyone accountable at all times. So it's never

what you'd like to do to change. But there's a there's a major, major, major shift that has to happen on this team starting right now. Can the Can the players be part of the culture changers that have to come from the coaches in the front office. Players and men only do what you allow them to do. Did not listen to the first day him and Curtsey. I think that a problem going back years is have we had good leadership from the players. But here's the things.

As much as there is alpha, we are trained. I can't We are trained as football players, even we are self motivated, and we are we are alpha males, but we look for that direction from a leader, from a coach, from someone else to say, let's go Nate, let's go Jess, let's get ready. We are we are programmed that way since we were in Little league. We've been programmed that way. Guess we're alpha males all that constant, but we've been we've been trained in programmed to have someone in front

of us to give us direction. Like Tom Brady was. Was he a guy that was was he gonna lead like that or did he all go back to Belichick? He told the he told the owner, or this is the best draft choice you ever made. And he from that day when he made that statement, and mister Kraft, he started working relentless, relentless. And he told one time the head coach, Belichick said this himself. He called himself from check Tom Brady one on one in the office with him, and he went, Tom Brady left, I guess

I'd better get back in my offensive playbook. But you yeah, you know, back in the day you had you know, Michael and Aikman. I mean, those guys were real leaders, weren't they, right, Man, Troy didn't play. Troy did not Troy did not say a lot of words when he spoke. I looked looked at you in a certain way, you knew, and I thought I was only one got that look. But I was talking to Moose a year ago and he said, Man, Troy looked at me one time out to play, and I just knew I had screwed up.

And he said, from that point on, man, I made sure I just did a little bit of extra every week, Like he gave you that look too. Yeah, yeah, that look went to everybody except Mike Irvin. Let's take our first break when we come back. Michael, when we come back, I was willing to do anything. Man. You talk about Eagles, cowboys and then coming out in first nice had a nice I'm taking that hat. When we get off the show,

can come try. I got you. I can run, you can play on the game and thrones all you won't. I got Okay, we'll see. We'll see you make and catch when we come back.

We're out here on the Tostitos Championship Plaza at Ford Center. We got Wingstop coming at some point. We got Papa John's, we got Dunkin Donuts, we got the coffee. I'm surprised enough, you know, I'm just seeing a chilling man and joint out. I'm looking at this Cowboys team and uh, it's just it got

me amazed at all the highlights. And I'm like, how do we have a losing record? All those great high they are playing the highlights out here on the plaza. It's it's a beautiful day. You know. What's funny. People that are tuning in from up up north and in the Northeast probably think it's about six degrees here the way we're it's close to fifty seven. We're good, so but we're bugling thing. One thing that that changed my life in a few moments in my life that have

been life changing. Yes, So we played in Chicago and it was seven degrees that kicked off, and it wound up being like four degrees below zero by the end of the game. I told myself I would never do two things ever again. I would never bitch about it being cold, no matter how cold I was, because I could not get any colder than I was in that game. And I would never underdress and allow myself to be cold because of the weather. So I will take clothes off, but I will not be under I will not be

cold whenever I'm outside that game. That was the most miserable I have been in my life. Like it was, it was awful. Christie Scale Sideline Report Shadler's heat patches on. I think she said she had so many ons, like about caught fire. I mean she had a heated she had a heated Harley Davidson jacket on that had a warmer in it, and she was still freezing like it was so yeah. So that's why I am bundled up in, Nate.

I'm glad that you got saved from embarrassment because Brett brought you a hat from the pro shop over there, because I would have liked to have seen you try to turn this hat off my head. What is his name? Brett Jeffries? Who is that the guy they gave you that hat? Oh? Okay, you's he's al He's already works in our in our sponsorship department, and thanks his clients.

Thank you. All right, there's that. We're here. I wish you could see the opposite view, because there is nobody on this plaza except a security guard all the way at the other end. He trying to You would think Nate had an audience of eight hundred people out here. So all right, what do you want to talk about? You want to talk at Eagles Cowboys, y'all? Just let me say you just want to have fun. Let me say this right here on a serious note. Let me

say it's on a serious note. You know, we did we did a little show today, you know called Special Edition, and we talked about Ben Denucci and how we think Kellen Moore has to, you know, go back into his days when he was at at his school boys and get some of them RPOs out. Uh, don't put too much on this kid. They didn't probably start out trying to read a quarter of the field. Try to get

some easy routes. Try to get some quick hitting plays to zeke up the middle and stuff like that so we can so we can not lose this kid altogether. We we talked about letting the dogs out and that's what this philade every team is gonna try to do. With Brandon Graham and and at your Cocks and Derek Barnett and Leee Jackson. Yeah, And so my thing to you, Jesse is what type of plays which you try to

brain it this kid to help him out. If if I'm the OC, if I'm the head coach who was the offensive minor coach, I'm doing one or two things. I'm going to go back and say, Son, let's pull up some of your college film. Tell me some of your college plays or your college throws, because if he's a starting quarterback and has some skins in the wall at his college, what was his college that again, James James Madison, Yes, tell me your five best throws that

you enjoyed in that offense. And then I'm trying to find those five plays that he asked me about. Where do I have those same ones in my playbook? Something similar to something that we can design, because all you want for this kid is familiarity. You want him to be able to come to the line of scrimmage. You want him to be able to come into the huddle.

That's very important, ladies and gentlemen. You want him to be able to come into the huddle with the level of confidence that the guys that he's playing with believes in him. If you start giving them all these long plays that he's never worked on and can't pronounce properly or can't read through, the guys in the huddle are gonna be saying, what the hell are we got going

on here? But if he comes in there with the level of confidence and he's able to and it sounds crazy, but his delivery of the plays to be clean, to be crisp, to be authoritative in his delivery of the plays matter in a huddle, in the actual huddle, and then once I get to the line of scrimmage, I want to have a familiality of I know where the ball is supposed to be going, I know the reads, and I try to put him in the most comfortable position possible so that he is comfortable, so that now

he gets some throws off, because what happens is you don't want this thing to spire out of control. He doesn't have enough start or experience in the National Football League to really gather himself and if things start getting out of hand early, so give him easy throws and remind him. Son punting is okay, don't try to force it, don't try to do more than you're supposed to be doing.

Let's go out here and execute those plays. Checkdowns are okay, and if it comes down to it, don't force it in there, throw it away and we will pump and we'll figure it out. You know, because kicks, every series ends with some type of kick, a punt, field goal, extra point. As long as it's ending like that, you got an opportunity but if it's ending with turnovers just bad plays, you can't have that. And we talk about Diggs on the other side. You know he's getting better.

You see plays where he's getting better. But you don't want this bend the news. You can't go through what Digs go through. For a cornerback, that's different. You're asking a quarterback and my hey, man, just forget that bad play and he fixing his face mask and he fixing his shoulder pad. Mean, now it's differently getting beat deep and getting drove into the ground. Man, It's a big difference.

How many plays? How many plays would a would you go in a typical game plan with your starting quarterback with dak or Andy Dalton? How many plays would you go in with everything? And then how many plays should they back it down? For de Nucci, you would go in with Jesse. What would you see our protections overlapped? Would each overlapped in certain plays, passing plays, our run block and overlapped and run plays. But the receivers could have a combination of things versus coverage. So with Jesse

and what would y'all be looking at for me? He would there There wouldn't be more than fifteen to twenty passing plays, somewhere between eight to ten runs. We're gonna keep this thing very vanilla. And what would it normally be like if if Dak were in there, one hundred thousand, everything's on the table, audibles on the table, two minutes on the table. You know, hey, Dak, do your things on the table. Like everything you go from a you know, you see some some office courting, like Andy Reid who

has like the Chiefscake Factory menu type playbooks. You know, with all these plays, That's what I'm asking, what's a typical playbook? How many plays? Like I don't know how many plays are let's hundreds, hundreds what it is you could have like and to read uh, Sean McVay, it's a few guys, uh grouten, they just got a million plays. Well, some guys like north Turner, he'll have like Jess said, you have ten running plays, and they'll have twenty five

passing plays. But it'll be a hundred variations all of those plays, a hundred movements that they would give you off of these plays. And I think Sean mcvade the best that lining up in the same set of people but giving you different variations, and that is what our defense is struggling with it. Right now, You can take one man and moving across the formation and it throws

out of defense out of kilt, brings up. Um McCarthy said yesterday talked about defensive eyes, and he targeted guys who didn't watch the I guess wasn't watching the player or wasn't watching the wrong thing. I'm not real sure, but I mean, how does that If they're focusing on defensive eyes and our guys doing it right, why are they getting so lost in motions and things like because

they're not doing it right. I saw for the first time with Layton in there a lot of a lot of teams when they when when you go in motion, they are they will adjust with either with their linebackers if they have three linebackers the funnel, they are just with their linebackers, so you cannot gain leverage on them. Leverage mean like if you gotta if I'm the defensive end and you motion across and put a man right

there and I have no outside help. Now you've leveraged me through motion, Well, a lot of guys get up and move out that extra man, so you can't out leverage them. Well, a lot of guys will brangle safety up so you can't out leverage them, or they'll move their linebackers over so you can't out leverage them. But our guys that just stand there and they'll run a guy across the motion, you're out leveraged. So I'm automatically getting to the corner and I got a three yard

game even if you fight across that. So you know, it's about making adjustments and not being out leveraged. You see guys standing up in the defensive backfield looking in the backfield, and the most dbs are taught from birth always take a step back first. I've never seen guys that just standing there and look at a guy running up on them. You're automatically letting this guy out leverage you just by movement alone. That shouldn't happen to a defense.

You know what shouldn't happen. We shouldn't have to take another break because I'm having too much fun, but we have to. We gotta pay some bills. Jesse, You just can't hide money, can't you. Nope, you just look good man, Jessy, you man, for god, how good you look? I haven't seen you full like, full bodied and so long all I've been seeing some big guns and just that'll cover them up to day. I know, I'm surprised. I figured you'd be out in the tank top toy degree weather.

I started too, you know, Jess, we just found a bunch of goal you see like you man. But oh, I'm listening. That's post man. It's all right. We'll go take our last break. When we come back. I'm taking a hat. They'd taking a hat. We're taking a break. Find out what happens next. Hell with the boys, ladies and gentlemen. It's that time again for tailgating with the Auterbox boys.

We're having our FunTown rvtailgate in the Tostitos Championship Plaza at Ford Center out here at the Star in Frisco. Shout out to Tontown RV Wingstop, Duncan Donuts, Papa John's, Brett Jeffries, Joe Simler on site here with us to make sure every everything runs right that haven't been in there here. There's a lot of people in that. I'm

just kidding. They're socially. You're gonna take on these RVs on the road, man, we need to ed go out hanging with the boys on the road. We're gonna do a road trip from Dallas, Texas to California and we're gonna stop in some cities and do a show. I'm down. I'm totally down with that. As soon as we as soon as we get out of this pandemic. May you can only use the bathroom at the truck stop. Will be no number two is in the RV name. No,

there will be a no number two. I'm gonna tell you something, man, that Dion has that rule regardless of who you are. You know, even females. Hey baby, if you're going to the truck stop, don't matter who you are. We don't need that exposure. A baby, look at a baby. We have a small Cowboys fan out on the screaming out. All right, do we have any hope this week? With this Cowboys defense against this Philly offense? Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz will give it up, he'll give it up. And

two fumbles? So how do we feel? What do we what do we? What do we feel good about this? We got to stop the run first, right? Do you feel good about that? No? Not necessarily? I well, we got to stop the run. Let me rephrase that, Kurt, have you stopped the run yet this year? No? Have you prevented yourself from being blown five yards off the ball. Okay, you does you have stop? This week? We got the

guy who was playing, So that's the hope. The guy who was getting a majority of those snaps, who were getting to blow up the ball five yards, he's gone. So yeah, bye process of elimination. You've gotten better. So maybe it's not five yards, maybe it's two. And now maybe you're not in the lap of the running back, I mean the linebacker. Maybe he's able to get around that.

Because right so there is hope. And here's the other hope that you can also put this into is that now that these guys who are the younger guys, they're not splitting the reps, they're not looking over their shoulder, because there are time when you get into a game and you're a young guy, you're gonna mess up. And if if, if we're just doing numbers percentages, if I get five reps and I mess up one rep, but I only get five, it looks bad because I didn't

have many reps. But someone who now went from maybe playing twenty snaps twenty five snaps that will get fifty, I have more opportunity to do better. I have more opportunities to see it it's like like a picture right. Shout out to the Dodgers for winning. But they took Blake Snell out because they said he was coming up on the third round of batters. Yes he was, and usually you kind of get analytics the analytics. Same thing

with football. Well, if I'm playing more than five, ten, fifteen, twenty snaps, I get a chance to see that down and distance again, I get a chance to see these certain moves. I get the chance they see this running back and what he likes to do. And now I can adjust my game throughout the game to get better as we're playing. So there's some hope that maybe these younger guys will get in there. They're gonna bring energy.

Younger guys gonna bring energy, and as you want that because like you say the other day, Nate, yeah you were going left and you should have been went right, but you were going one hundred miles an hour. Right Now, we can get you go the right direction. We might have something here. And you just hoped over the course of the game they keep that same intensity of that same energy, that same effort and they're going in the right direction. So that's hope there. Okay, you got any hope.

You know. You know what, Man, Jesse just inspired me. Man, come on to talk, Jesse. So be it opportunity to talk. You guys know this, there will never be an opportunity. I'm like, you know what, I'm good unless it's about offensive lineman play. I am going to take this opportunity to talk. I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna tell you something about But I hope all it takes is one or two good plays, you know, one or two nice plays, and whether it's a sack, whether it's an interception,

it can rally your team. You know. And I'm being honest, I ain't. I ain't really looking at the wins and losses from this point. I'm looking at the attitude and the willingness to be in the right place and do the right thing and do it one hundred miles an hour. That that's that's what I'm looking at. And you know that's up for coaches and all of them. You know that, you know, they like their life is on the line for for the wins and losses. The quarterback and the

head coach. That's that's where they getting judged. At me, you know, as just observer of players, I want to see some enthusiasm. And like I said, for the last three or four days, I've been just having bending Nuc benda Nuca. And what I mean by that is not so much that he's playing quarterback, because Dank is our quarterback, but it is an era of new young guys that are getting an opportunity to really play and to really

and to really make a difference on this team. And that's why I keep saying that bender Nucci eras here. And and if they cut a veteran guy that's over thirty years old one a day, when not bother me. When you guys turned it around back in the nineties, did it was the turning point during a season or was it in an off season? It's an off season because coach Johnson came in the off season, you know, and missus Johnson of trade of herschel Walker in the middle of the season. It was in the middle of

the season. But what I'm saying, the attitude started to change. But he uh, he threw this around to the coaches. As we found out, Coach Johnson it was out job and he said, man, you know it was him. Coach wise. Coach acts Hubbard acts hubbad Alexander, excuse me, butcher Davis uh, and the defensive coordinator once that they are jogging, and I hope I got all the coaches right. And he said, what if I was to get rid of hershel, you know, and bring in some players, you know, And he said

that he had mixed reviews from the coaches. I just gonna like, that's the only weapon we got. The defense goes like, hey, you know, if it's gonna be some divins, guys. Yeah, And so he swung it him, mister Jones swung it. They swung it, man, and and everybody laughed and once again everybody like, man, what is this college coach doing? And Jimmy told him right after that right now happened? He told him, He told us again, and he never wavered every chance. I have to make this team better.

I don't care what I have to do, how I have to do it. I'm gonna make this team better. And so yeah, yeah, it just certain things was not allowed, man, Certain things are not allowed, like, uh, you know, you're building your brand. I admire that players, I really do, because when I played, you had to become a player

before you allowed to build your brand. Now, you can just show up and just hey, hey, I want to start this business and use the Cowboys as a reference to expand your business when you don't do your end and making the Cowboys look good by being the best player you can be. Whereas before you even around, star

Star has that effect. Jesse were at four minutes. You want to take half of that at least if Kurt doesn't have anything to say, no, don't ever have enough no to just continue, just to continue on the on the hope train. And it's just for offensively and for be bend Nucci, I mean defensively and for bend Nucci offensively. A lot of these young guys, one of the things that veteran guys rely on so much is information. Veteran guys rely on so much of information. What do I know?

How do I process it? And how could I use it to my advantage? Young guys don't have much information for the veteran guys. Ben de Nucci has no tape. You gotta go back to James Madison to find tape of Ben d Nucci. Right, so, so cornerbacks don't know what his favorite throws are defensive corner they don't know what he can and cannot do just yet. You know, there's you know, there's some right ups about what he was and Colin, but no one knows what he can

actually do on the field. Same thing for the young guys who will be getting a lot more reps. Right, guys, knew Daryl Worley a very bad with his eyes is a guesser. That has been his history and it rained true here. So what do we do. We're gonna run double moves. We're gonna run right by them because they had information on these guys. There's no information on a lot of these young guys. So that's where they can sometimes surprise you, like Clayton Kershall going into the city.

Even even with the young defensive guys, these offensive linemens who are veteran that they're going up against against Philadelphia, they know that you know what, so and so his favorite move is this, His favorite move is that. So these younger guys, and they alluded to it, getting one or two players where you can change the game if I don't know your move and you get me with

a speed or spin or bull or a rip. And now that creates because again these are still professional football players, and that creates a sack, a strip, sack, fumble, a deflection, whatever it may be, and we gain an advantage from that that can be the deciding factor of the game. So if you're looking for some hope, is that these guys don't have information that they can give to Philadelphia to use to their advantage. Wow, Jesse, already ya know we're gonna win this game. No no, no, no, no,

no no, he gonick them. I'm giving you hope. About to be a Baptist preach Tomorrow is different. Live today, and let tomorrow like tomorrow worry by itself. The cowboys tomorrowboys were talking to it tomorrow. Yeah, okay, so ain't that okay? Yea man, but that was Yeah. These ll these coaches tell like a young guy like Gallimore. They say, okay, you got one good move, you got two good moves. We want you to save that until this time of

the game. No, no, no, go play, go play. As long as you're doing with alignment assignment stuff, go play. No coaches ever gonna tell you when the usual move when not the usual move because they don't have a feel for the game. They're not out there in the sense of you know, hey, coach, I've been setting him up for the last you know, two drives. I'm set up. Whoop swoop, I've been set you know. So they don't just go play as long as when you do it

it works. It works. They've never seen it before, and especially if it's gonna be out of character scheme. Right, Yeah, better work tomorrow. You were gonna want to tune in tomorrow because this is a very special Tito's bag that I will be breaking out of this very special Tito box Tostitos to finally finally starting Tostitos.
