" Tuesday January 27 two. Who went to wing -- since. Q can you -- woman he'd be right now -- dark continent episodes of ago."

" You know -- start over. No fun in March that would have about one of Canada gears start yet NFL season in March 1 inning goes through all this the most depth of Oregon. -- Now yep probably soak that we you know last -- we don't do. We start -- The team well. As out saying there's no off -- and is there. Came in yesterday like -- and write about -- and then by 1 o'clock there was too much. Well that's dust he'll do. That now if you are you adequately film and -- minute ideas and get -- third minute film and it. -- we -- on -- at the office. You can't you know and -- gallon of acting you know he's -- you can easily removed his video Martellus Bennett. Was that villain he was supposedly. Some things things and people oratory. Year. Today he got to leave until yesterday -- when he is so yeah it expects and I Nokia management. When he won -- one when he went peacefully well that's even worse anyways even -- who is the -- at the -- orbit. He's on there with a buddy and -- is like -- there on the web -- and -- than in freestyle on and on in the Saints with them but -- haven't Jerry Jones money. All of this good stuff. -- that's been taken down kick -- and there's also I don't get vocal. And I don't. One time weren't always talk managerial somebody ask him as Canada's tough par season where. My tell that it had touchdown and three or four games in a row it. And I can't say the exact quote but he was like you know my dad told me one time. He could try to be a funny in my get them done. With a few other words yeah -- but. That's what he's always Nokia and it's it's not just in each one year old is -- okay. Yeah I mean he's not just point oh Jason Witten -- pointing yeah and you don't that's going to have don't pointing and again this guy if he's he's still 21. Brightly when you're actually a funny if it. And he. Jack and it. Yeah -- the movie with technical project no no. Onions and oh it and it's. You tell the new movie now talk about the old movie with oh I am probably more commending her operatives now would it look. Martellus Bennett people people they they are among on hard not automatically they gave up on him. He's never going to be -- for the -- look. He he's got all the physical. Attributes he had a pretty good season for rookie and -- You know he'll tell you he doesn't watch film ever get anything out of pregame preparations for that he's got a ways ago. In terms of maximizing potential but. Bear with him you I think people -- fairly -- and -- you wonder Mike. Corey could be done better I don't think you ever will be because he won't put that it's time to -- he really wants to be like that he doesn't want them on film and doesn't really listen to the coaching tax goes up there in. Freestyles may be noted that later navy I think I mean I get in and yes and it. -- when -- black mark but back to matters out -- buddies -- Come back -- you know he."

" And it just sitcoms some -- that took a little longer to count mature into being the man in understanding. It's not a place for everything sometimes complain have a good time and at times get a series in which got to do. As as your responsibility as an adult you know and and I think you know and that's not to say he doesn't we don't we really don't know what we know is that. Heath has that you didn't need that films that he -- thing but you know we don't know how much comically and maybe as he gets older maybe he'll become a little more that your. And are doing -- things that that we probably think you'd do."

" Fittingly enough the show I would think we've we've got we got up we get better stuff what you know the best at this way late in. Glad I'm going Dustin blog another good good stories it beat to it and we're right we're right on it. -- read and vehemently reportedly he would and then looks like -- to tell people this morning that says Sally salary and -- Prada but pretty close the deal thing that. Now consultants do I mean he's death and ties to the staff obviously in with the organ trade. It's an organization right and a current staff with Lynn Wade Phillips and -- Camilla -- is that if the article on oh yeah but he reported on the show last there one. Literally when he first. -- error by him now I was at the got to put that active in Atlanta with him for about seniors many. Well he went to. He's actually brought with the Broncos with -- in injuries and then when Reed left the raucous. To be a giant and that's when -- that first special teams -- the Giants and use it for years to Atlanta. In Atlanta for. Three years victory got fired. Important that he's learned a lot come from generate nothing then that means he's going to be pretty cute I mean I think he has been really good coach in -- good. Addition obviously became -- after Reeves a consultant role. That's always going to come down now active he is now important role he's going to be that was your mailbag question today minded -- and my my take was. You know I think it's always good to bring another solid football guy and -- and injury is he's been around game NFL for a 44. Years now. So. But the -- question is why it -- Altman just wonder what's it is going to be here every day. Is he going to be you know -- guided -- in the coaches bounce ideas off companies you know who lives in -- well let's also note this that he he. Interviewing for the 49ers offensive coordinator. Thing that you can be offensive coordinator and and told them or apparently has told them that he's going to go -- so. Maybe it was time to parlay that aren't enough I don't know but if if that's. You know the role he was going to have the opposite corner now -- consultant. Is still sounds like he wants to be active in yen that the."

" Thing out like about that his dad he. Viewed as an up and went on what tired at four rate -- here all that being said. You have a young -- coordinator here. It's always probably -- that you have might hear who it is even if -- in the -- consulting role. Back in that he can bounce ideas of maybe this -- a good thing for here maybe this helps him. Going -- of of that experience at the injury that running offense is. To be able to -- out some ideas are things they've become little more seasons as an offensive coordinator. And in on the -- into that you may be that they can be helped by having ago what's around you can you see injuries and the only thing. Look -- patterns and entering what it to another topic. But he ethnic but the whole Allen he. You look at the whole place throw out there and now get to ward at the cal with him TO. -- exciting that he's going to be the subject of a new reality show. Lever and all of going to be having a reality show is a little more interesting I think for the cot at that. That the winner of his reality delegate in a rule when it roster spot. For training camp a training camp body. Coaching can't but the Cowboys. Have an opportunity McCullough that's make the team. We think of the idea of these. Reality shows around account -- because obviously you're. Films if film crews are with those guys and and those guys are part of the organization or related to organization in those -- probably going to be around quite a bit. Around the organization when it."

" I don't think either of bumblebee and they it is hard -- there's one thing to have. With spike TV. One of their cameras at -- on the island filming -- one guy an interview in one guy outward about one guy. As opposed in the meetings. And it in -- off the Jerry's office and tapping their phones when it talked and a Terry Glenn's agent and now that that's that's not let me stop you -- quick. The thing that's. More than he -- because again it there. Folk dancing talk about you know sure you talked out talking about that it Mike Miller and should -- TO show from what I gather it's going to be like at. Flavor of love kind of thing but he'd like to me going to be a reality shows really I think I got."

" Impression it was going to be an actual reality it was they were kind of talk like at times. Gerald Wallace and David they wouldn't let network is. VH one yeah eight and you know they do rocket low flavor of even. It seems -- completely clock. Asked him. It got death if you look at if you -- Into this idea that doesn't look TO TOB him now about the pop like a gold look at that look like and acts. And like New York and but it would be -- it was here and like every other it's gotta narrow -- New York. That -- the first season -- it erode the of what's -- I guess that's that they at that they -- TO if you got the camera now focused on him that they keep this thing going into training camp. You know we know he liked -- is -- of that are you getting more of that from him if the cameras are trained on him particularly for a reality show his own reality show. And that -- detract from in being focused completely football. He's had an offseason where he played semi pro basketball -- in this this this does not -- basketballs through into the into training and I don't know how long the going to run this thing if it's just going to be now during the offseason nor. The second season is devoted to -- and -- summer. So I win in exactly Winona. Acting TO is that the strange bird comes of that I don't think. He's the opposite of that went and did not everyone this way live. For me -- accountable that I offense from him and and in his career. Win the cameras are on him when focuses on him when it just seemed like he should be distracted he's even better he plays up for that nothing he will be because of that. But this poll well he's distracted. To me that's when he spoke. Focused when he got on with other crap. You know and I may have he's wrong word I don't know distracted easy in the -- much is. Is he playing up for the cameras which causes more but it drama began when I think -- you know I laid out for the cameras. I think he's even better weapon though."

" In that what I'm getting more to his -- gotten you know they get some footage that they had at practice. But now they also have you know now you guys every week at Seattle watched this thing because he's gonna say something inevitably -- that becomes big sports news and does he now say more of those things things that can be divisive you know anytime you put a mark -- they gotta be word he's gonna say something. That's going to play a certain way in the media and -- plays that way other going to be at the players now the Canadian kind of outweighs with a -- coaches look at them kind of sad waste you know stay in the that's what you gotta worry about what Terrell more opportunity hasn't from a microphone. We gotta wonder what he's gonna say and we got a one out of the."

" These people already in sideways rain is not the spotlight he can. Lose any more credibility than I wonder what the Cowboys will do as far as giving their access. VH one's access that Terrell as far as. And rainy -- and not training camp that says an -- summer but UP coming into enemy camp and OTA. In this might be thesis tough look at you know the count was they who they love. Without that to witness it might be a good situation for them and say you as an interview him -- you want to. But. Here. May maybe ninth month and there's -- file foot it communities that they wanted to show you know how hard TO works on the on the practice field mean. You can get that without actually showing up here and being at the facility and shooting it but you have to think part of this VH one. Is that they do you know -- him around -- I mean that's that's that would need it most certainly his star burned bright enough by itself. But I think when you can throw the sizzle on top of that the Dallas Cowboys. There's no questioning as part TV ratings are concerned and the Cowboys -- involved people's so you know I think for VH one and they probably look at part of this is. The value you'll plus the -- you with the count right answer I guess if it was it has nothing did the which leads me to believe. Football's really -- community -- And what's TO going to do after retires as I mean his transition he's not going to be an analyst -- there can. Too many people like him so I mean I don't know about that. I mean and -- he's going to be up their --"

" In the it would not surprise I mean again you're talking about an engine that that day. That is steeped in. Ratings and who better to have -- for ratings and a guy who's going to mix it up in -- and stupid say some controversial stuff you know Sammy. That's why Charles Barkley hasn't and that's what it. I don't think you'd begin. In the I mean do you think it is. In the end then I think he's in better. Other than that. Hits you with a of the net. And the I just think he's going to be. Of reality show star and live in this era I don't life and and be famous -- many famous for being famous -- throughout. Probably a lot more famous actually Rahal understand that's what this prodigy is basically lived the life of fame for the rest of this love us but in any given than it is today. He's the class Bethea one news I'll -- that suddenly has -- He can be better to be better at both the movie and noted it big which he doesn't mean a of the this does this he and defeat TO look there either -- it's in that span and that figures helmet off and put them on their openers are always study was on the other team. Actually nines Sharks and you know I had at theory for a long time. That happened here at -- game. There's no part in the movie where somebody -- for the tenth -- put -- arms in the -- like he did. The -- in your what was Texas Stadium rent that in the game yet that was Texas Stadium -- so then next season is when that happened as when he went to the star and did the right now always thought that's what he was doing. You know -- kind of because he was in that movie and play and -- part. I don't think he ever. Actually had to face on camera that I remember -- baca but he after he scored a touchdown with the names but we have. You know -- to. Named Owens. They take his helmet off that yet any kind of they cannot pick them up on on the shoulder felt that record that them but it it him. I thought it was on the at a team Ricky waters on the team and a 32. -- and a four curriculum and -- to a more topic on the reality thing on the Michael Irvin. With the Michael having to call but that the fact is that this -- think it today -- means -- and a lot more criticism media game point. From the game pointed out people Spain is really what the team that just -- that part knock them. Now you can have a reality though that. It -- that the winner of this reality show now becomes McCain by Katrina happen better use for the camp body or. It is going to be even more -- action having that guy can't. Win it's again it -- doesn't have talent is the other nine guys on the funny thing is looking for emails -- people with opinions about the yeah. And pretty much all the emails we have ever. I don't China -- suit. Fast guy Williams told him to employers dollar for fourth in the forty yard dash. Move over 5919. Them Aaron Glenn path of -- Thursday news that the man not a -- for this series -- It's -- image of Witten. -- that -- Thompson scouts he yesterday. He Tuesday director of scouting for the Cowboys he said that they really have new. Connection to show at all. I know I really thought on his they would they have to have some. And Adam. I talked to Wilma Clady. Of former desperadoes. New Arena League coach in the -- one out a couple of your guys. You know a couple of -- will hope that somebody like that he fitted and be great -- and amateurs -- apparently that's. Part of the show."

" And -- in the kind of the problem that you're talking about putting a guy on the roster that essentially. Probably meg it. Comparatively speaking I may be a great athlete wore black football great athlete for. Sand lot baseball -- whatever the case I'd be may just be a good athlete. But he's not professional caliber because he probably wouldn't be an amateur you know special -- right when you think does."

" Last ten guys on the roster. I'm problem that are really -- Either I mean sometimes you find a guy like when Scott comes out of nowhere and makes the team but on the all horrible team that youth and if we can get all of if we don't think we get all of our rookie draft picks on this team. Then does that really matter with eighty guy is. I think -- They've got to find somebody. That is -- got to get some guys in here have some experience at some of talking about. Mean players that were on. Practice squads of something my accurate mean in Mike. According to Michael Irvin he wants guys that have been out of football like it may be played college and had to quit. It's I'd say this -- if you if you have some interest and it. RI. Our producer Jeremy that he's going to be fielding all emails for the Phillies report all of you know -- The and you'll order vaulting him he's -- it threw it into life just right this you know because he's got that connection with a Mike of their boards from the U you know that they're going to be able -- together than this though we can go left and -- again. Who'd a -- yet as he wise getting its terms of for its true and Santa Clara California. How about reality show for -- It yeah. Of fame name these aren't going to fix off with the guys that you haven't minded guys and the winners this when got -- competitions did you excellent. Interview is that they're etc. that. The depth and we'll let alone with the -- you can handle that the bit right. I look at because we got a cold way you do fourth and one of public rate related fourth -- was going to go off about someone a record."

" Good morning good good good beyond my blurb --"

" Now I can -- act."

" I absolutely don't need that that I think they're big Italian interior bat he knows -- because it's not really in truth is it's never really connect with the Cavaliers."

" I'm really gonna like it but I don't -- probably. If I don't know bad. Went into -- you mentioned Dennis -- a minute ago he's actually going to Vietnam and pressured to human Herschel walker going to be on the celebrity apprentice with -- dot the Democrats. That that was kind of interest in. I'd like that Wednesday. You know --"

" If I don't know we don't need a bit act. I really don't think it's that big idea if I don't know you know."

" I just just such a way that India would it -- You know constantly dictating need to be focused and expect it I have read basically TO ship because it's not really you know connecting with heavily. --"

" I heard an interview with him last week actually wanted to party was unfairly with the really can't even get to get on the sports -- Yeah I'd tell -- that yes that I was afraid I was really. I was surprised at bat out of the and I found it really refreshing. About the problems with this team with only two days. The second day I was with Deion Sanders had that the on this go to no doubt get back to -- if there was an. The first time he was done a spectacular bacteria and what he thought about creating everything if you know criticism of the he conceded the problem with communication. He hit he's tickled to going to fat left. Just one thing we can do well whereas when -- which hasn't been made on the field he that we can do better to have communicating with him and getting -- him. And -- him another candidate were. Detonated it would be made and what they were saying that there on the field to -- that test at the ten year. -- that went on that day dead bat that pandemic -- they would get what they got their money they were really. Prepared -- really you know living up to their contract without a lot of them what they got their money that they were comfortable you know and they would continue with -- And that was surprised at how the second day that he's done -- He's dead. When asked them about."

" Teammate Terrell Owens and then that Romo -- can go to grad in the locker room and went and it was surprising. Split which he normally they can't win win. -- always -- I can't -- to get open he couldn't get open."

" And -- he -- about -- he also tournament but he battled both he and Romo will be would move would be more productive as you know he -- there and can't. Now we -- have went on the -- has it can't be decent and honest you know you can you can't tell the truth. You know you can't keep them honest with people that the -- immediate going to take it. Bet whenever you're doing Palin has an opinion one -- people -- like well. You don't want to -- the truth you -- yeah okay good point though it didn't have to hope he told defense mechanism worked when you don't want to -- a true you don't want to give it to look. How much I would definitely tell the truth are educated educated candidate true full."

" And it was somewhat hypocritical."

" Bad. Luck started look at media outlet you know Mark -- went back to be I would be very honest. So opt -- that's very refreshing."

" You know. Prior being open and honest about some of the problems that -- I was really surprised -- was really proud of him Monday you know that is --"

" but I did an effective team that cannot season."

" You know I don't I don't know how that organization feel that bad bad day."

" I really -- a very good unity and and median family entertainment his very tiny cell I like get out I don't know it got bad about it."

" I know -- up that your desert community in and then. If you if you've seen if you talk to Martellus one problem and imagine you know. We've seen it all day series going to be a super super hero or groan of the article man but let's -- it -- that stance and the union. If our wrap it and that's that's thank you. The on the right. I mean you can't you can't say things like that -- idea doesn't have a problem getting TO. For an interview Alia and that's okay on the right and that's it. And our place is secure all the players you can't Beyonce media about it the right. Yeah we're we're on -- it is a show at the class act with the beard. Great run earlier at the bay Luxembourg. Jason Witten Marc -- myself. And asked about. And -- of this -- tendon. And they asked about the -- on in there is down. You know and and and about plays like that you know who that's not hard not their -- and heart not -- not hard knocks ball. That they blocked the partners. And in -- that note on the current. FL -- after the third though he. That is the importance there wouldn't do it in new -- many chances and events there -- would let him actually is late night. It's that there is the time you that every -- that. That the under a different position because. You know he's now with team yet but I -- in Indian side I don't know but -- it. Honestly. I don't think it's really hilarious that the -- Sometimes -- Martellus Clinton who seem to say that these play hitters. Are are content with their money number one. In and he count like and number two how does he know what Ken Hamlin America he inane and -- knows because he's an expensive maybe give that I mean out of you know what these players were before. To -- name players to -- new contract."

" Still it's still interesting to hear his opinion on it now is an appropriate probably not appropriate for him say that publicly to about it teammate. It is it is interest in any -- interest in the -- to hear their take on. Why the Cowboys didn't play it dipped into -- because I think he probably top twenty guys -- probably expecting different opinions as to -- they did play."

" Again. I mean I I I had a conversation with rob Phillips. -- in the season it looked like you know it can -- talent but. I think it's in in in some fiery explosion like is not going to end well with the Cowboys in an NFL. I remember going in training camp the effect in their practice. News. Is -- more than anybody think this I think the head and I think they had pads on so had to be let the first week and I with. -- Jay Ratliff. Came off the field and he disliked them that you go to that is important -- it. We still weren't. Oh. Pretty bad I don't -- that you would -- everybody's pretty bad but the -- smoke a matter of the year in his life he was great to give. It -- with code word for Martellus removed it at that point but you know he's. He's a player that's the thing about it he's good players be. He left if it continues to learn and develop this could really -- that he's he's really that's the main thing learning and and and -- extra mile watching a little bit don't have to go home and watch it all mine just learn something about your putts that he's he's I do better I don't know anything Obama on the mound that's certainly the NBA. Lots of things like this that I had to throw -- about the video feed of video and -- the one. Description that you have to that it there's -- if you rapping with the but it is. On -- were outlawed I'll have to why it Cowboys liked throwback helmet that's autograph by the whole team if you. -- the locker. -- wearing it. There in the inner city county area you'd take that but the back they have those helmets and efforts -- hitting from the credits. It probably -- Like Al would that they can run for it is fair radio whatever who -- the Marty believe god is -- he's wearing you know rap video. First thing -- that platoon rob is I'll watch tennis than with. With that the vote like if Jeremy shooting this. -- there -- are proud negative Jeremy exactly student -- he's going to be a lot of drove a little like mile drive yeah adequately do everything I don't think that you're -- adult I think. I'm not sure about that but don't back to the political Erika wins Whitaker."

" I'm pretty here at I want to go to different direction about the course of our -- not a threat to steal away away and -- that we haven't you read comeback yet. But it through man -- you a lot of old. Still in the count more I don't know that for a couple. Post symbolic and different things about -- Is pretty much the roster fit for next season. But don't dont need depth on the old Dolphin divine billion nose tackle we still need a reliable safety. And we definitely get back at quarterback -- you can -- another corner to right."

" Yeah you're right I think anybody saying it the same people their own team this year all of -- thank you back next is definitely going to be people added from the draft. Another place Russell Carter's may be somewhat sent right back up positions you have -- both parts of the."

" There aren't and I got my last question -- I don't know why you -- go about it and over the last couple it would -- keep an open mind about it but -- still not really really Wade Phillips as. It coach you know I'm still. Can't have more let the defensive coordinator I mean he's an excellent excellent defensive coordinator. No matter how important I'm still waiting for and the -- that he can get it coach and I -- dirtier -- I know that. It can't kind of running out in the league any -- You know reinvent himself would be no more it coach and defensive coordinator -- That all of that legacy and understand that really really into. I expect China forced the issue. -- it would be better off with some more and I -- court in Manhattan million pounds Democrat beat him but he's got collect would be better off is about even. Wicket it coaches that is more -- I don't want to stay out. You know as a disciplinarian that but. Someone that that that -- and hold it got a little bit more count or lack of big. If Mike singletary who -- let you I don't see -- have a whole lot of that stuff that we -- last season. And B that's a definite countless fan for over 20 years I -- just really didn't I didn't Eric we here at."

" I you're critical. I'll say this to me that he's his frustrations. Seem like there right along with most other Cowboys -- at that point standpoint. Feeling at that instant in can sit in the most seasons and wondering whether they -- coaches the right gaffe for the job. On Thursday a day."

" Here's the deal. Probably Wade's last chance to prove it this season. I mean he can't do Lleyton eight or 97 missed the playoffs again and expect me back report theater and he he realizes that."

" You always hear people stated that he never want to put coach's situation. Lame duck season but ineffective Natalie does this season. Is it pretty clear that yes if you didn't make it right or he's gone ego when something and then there's no reason -- but. If you would think he's got to get a playoff went right. Gotta get a playoff. Probably. I mean it."

" You know he he say they'll make changes. He says it and he's going to try to do some do some things to mix it up."

" I see given an opportunity to do that let him do this I'm glad the hope that theory. Is going to let him make those changes so far you know we've seen this. We've seen a couple -- is on the staff. He you know and dismiss the data. That was a different it is that Ian -- third guy he won it you know he handpicked to put on on this staff. It didn't work out. He elect goes with special teams coach got another one in there and other guys going with that is okay I'm fine with that. You know guys have been here 3030 years of coaching. That you know you want them to be surrounded by guys that they notre. -- now you you bring and Henry's as a consultant that'll help him he's an offensive mind and maybe you can help -- here maybe he can help. -- Tony Romo you know I had. So far he's making those of the phases that we he will be so a lot of things we don't see. But you know I think that that's the natural progression of a GM owner in to a coat. Let him go couple years two -- three. And then before they let him go take our right days retained the gutsy."

" Here's one of the things I've been little big concern listen to tutor and he's one. Very games on the ticket yesterday and he spoke quite a bit about team and things done right and wrong one of the count me specifically. It cost me -- reason or for pot today you know it wanting to try to be a leader on a team. But knowing you trying to. That forced him to do the right thing and they don't respond to you saying hey do the right thing. What else do you left Duke in it is really not much to do I'll -- another interview to mark where was talking on TV the other night -- if he's going to try to be more vocal leader this year. In here and the statement -- things at the polls predict poignant it you know it. But but it in the day the guys them. Leaving a going to drop the Eagles at the look at it if they got an ego in in -- matter who the leader is and what the leaders say it. The in the day if they're not wounded too late goal of the eagle at for the better of the team its deal won't work. -- Wade Phillips in the situation. Like tendency no matter what changes we make is this a situation where. If there are no consequences from one guy and I'm talking about the -- point of losing your job. At the -- of that you know firing you if there are no consequences like that the players are afraid of and they don't elect people that are in positions of leadership -- coach the coordinator the leaders on the team have an influence to that that decision. Do you think we should even have worked on on this team from the locker room or from the nick."

" Here's here's what Brady said it. That I want to get into. We can only do so much stuff is not -- four doesn't matter where you are right. If by get a guy's face and say this and and he still turns back around and and and does it. And I'm not supported by the guys higher up than what I do I can't take anybody's money I can't fire him. And then if you try to beat somebody up sources -- say hit his economic about our hands are tied that's a point that was -- Look queen I think if I'm reading between the lines I think that talk about the Pacman situation. Comedian didn't he didn't pac man's face economy Pacman apologized the team rafters I don't like bullets that base but I mean EI do. I mean did did come out that he. At top Athens news that he -- that that's him within the leader of that that that's one leader -- other and I think. You know I improbable seven captains on this team Aaron is it's for their seven or -- eight era at the rate. It was the markets one of them now."

" Now he's beaten you know what if at -- forecast. I think. And you know he he named him yesterday actually. When the market. He says -- the captains are on the team. You sit as a quarterback. And a linebacker with the Hendrick kind of funny but I mean. You know anything Bradie James and keep it and Jason Witten who he says those four guys the media are -- with a rookie Davis in the arm the response to Bob may begin out there but. I don't know if you need that many captain yet to be honest -- probably three. I have yet keep Davis and an offensive got a -- and the guy with I think in and -- Jason Witten. And pride to mark. You know."

" An epic that I think it's okay they have got they have different roles leadership to I think that's the other part the people forget in this whole thing I think. Bradie James has its place as a leader on the team -- a role he plays even if mark comes -- vocal leader that he wants to be. And that that I really think he can be doping. Brady has a role as a leader on this team he with the quarterback on the field yet as the guys get people the right place of people that certain amount of respect that got. Because he's going to be tough market out different commands out of and they got a note it. Wavering they gotta know when he sets up and do it because nobody's talking about they got to be able to rely on so yes it's placed in leadership on the team as well. I think he had to Marcus will be great leaders with -- team if if they both step up and embraced the role. And I think Romo and Witten could be great -- for the often as well. But like you they -- Is -- you're going to be. Is he going to embrace that it was going to be destructive to them because you've got guys out there who artist Brady did or if mark is willing to drop their egos at the door. Leadership cannot be effect."

" That that's number one thing Yuri there they've got to figure out and that's where. If you would've handled that well bats work the work answer comes into play is in he's affecting. What the majority of the team and organization is one and we're on this kind of we're talking here real -- know what situation of I don't know what with the captains are going to be in of the of the players really respect -- More than I think we're given credit for and and that's that's somethin' that and we overlook. You know people in the media both that there is safe to cancer because so somebody told them -- who who told them for the most part probably coach. Or -- third out or who of the sources. Problem is not getting a lot players. Saying -- he's a cancer. And who affects. Then the miles you know the locker room the players. -- you getting all these people that say he's a problem because he's a problem to him but he's not necessarily a problem to play. That's threatening the biggest issues. New players -- cancer. -- even sourced sourced players thing that I don't think so."

" Do you think that. At this point and you guys agree -- a little bit but at this point my question is TO. I've got to take off and put on back. And win ball games for them -- not -- weird he will be perceived as the leader of that that we don't talk about we talk about leaders. He has to be to some degree. Beyond -- if it he would be a situation whether got a look at him -- what you are doing what you're supposed to do so -- it up probably you does he do enough for what he's supposed to do. Audit off the field where people to say hey that's a guy should file."

" No matter what happens he could be the most beloved guy in the locker room in Cowboys history next season I mean he he could be in there -- Delivering babies and and and win in thing. But nationally. They're not going to be what -- report about."

" I net -- is not the point -- upstate so beyond reproach to do the players with the players to him as a guy that they say look this guy is it got it does the right things most of the time I -- ever nobody's perfect. But he does the right thing most of the time and because of that I have a certain level of respect -- I'll follow him as opposed to. Republican at him and -- and he went up as much as I -- who was he'd tell me what to do you know."

" I think he. I think he will be back I think is that kind of leader and you know it's like who you leading and leading your other receivers. Is that some young offensive linemen let's look at the -- insanity to follow follow what."

" Well but I don't know if you that may be a little bit simplistic -- the body is. The market is going to be that deep in the system that everybody on it deepens going to take notice because of his production. It'd be more vocal and is successful and be more vocal -- got to respect back that he is good players they got on the team and when he says to do something they'll do. Right you know what you want ultimately."

" Ice on the opening overwrought -- leadership. I think it's completely overeat. I mean we have with that in a just. Will lead to where we don't do what you just said I mean -- the market's going to tell me what to do. Play hard no plate focus know what gets going to do it lets me what he's going to do with."

" This season wind when you start getting all these sources say this that the other. A leader that has everybody respected locker room steps in the locker room is everybody let's set up. Let's not talk not -- sources. With play football and in at the end of -- going to be better for our team if the people respect it got its thing net and everybody buys into it. The hapless -- right."

" This is going to blossom cowardly anonymous source that that night off is quite a lot of Terrell Owens is not going to be a leader because. Terrell. Even though you know during the games he he wants to get him off fired up and wants them to play well wants to win there's no doubt. He's that he does he does things completely different off the field. And it it would things that work for him more we talked about before about you know he doesn't get distracted as much he kind of place where he lives for any thrives on. And so reality shows. And working out in Miami and in doing different kind of you know other other media shows. That works for him doesn't necessarily work for some of these other players so therefore I don't know if he's the best example some players might."

" Look at him as a player. But I don't think -- that's why don't think he's the best leader why does not know the point I was getting to is it does -- fill that role now doesn't that. Because of the fact that some players may not see him as -- I that they always do the right area volume on his back either -- I agree Larry Fitzgerald is fit. For Arizona. I don't think he's caring team. No but you know the differences at a time in the game. When you need to play better look like whoever was he the guy at a time of the game you need to play mikes they give me the ball make the play. And he got open he got the ball he make the play. That kind of thing I mean by taking the team in your back in the Santa at the receivers you can only do so much you you've got to have other people I've got to be blocked him for the quarterback corporate target -- That's why it's easier for a quarterback it's kind of the main guy over the running back because they are more control receiver. You know you can make plays -- we've seen guys take over games but it's harder because they. You know they have to rely on getting help but I think there was a time and you'll agree I don't think that I'm here anymore I think the time and you'll career. Win he could take over a ball game it didn't matter who the competition was it matter what they were trying to do to -- he could tickle."

" Her audience when he catches into -- 83 yards and into enemy -- that's. The guy up I'm thinking this still the exact -- player you know it even he can take over all that happened. Those -- right prices last game -- toward the -- you know if you were that a team with and we we definitely -- to be that they can and other -- gotta go to a I think it was scary still had several good years left and yeah. -- You know even issue and -- to thirteen. Dislike. He just dominated right in that kind of let him have it and -- Romo was able to hit him in the two of them again. About three big plays Bryant replied I think 72. Fifty some then another forty."

" Let's let the -- at Helena both you -- have quarterback in their --"

" Call -- difficult so they don't. Go to the energy question they're cute with. I think -- double worked arguably your most productive player offense consistently. Should be considered. Your you leader. We're already want to own borders where the leader of the DC that's -- capitals really -- the most productive player besides. And dictatorial -- to you lose to him but I think. The problem is is that it didn't you know and also he's."

" Placed on the nasty question that you're making the claim that he yelled next of romo's -- is the most productive opted to play on the scene. Yet if you gotta talk of Sicily I would say Jason wind's probably more consistent -- deal but that's my."

" What you have to do you think they can let you know where where he'll -- pleasant -- can't it is. Q -- first actually that effect. And -- position this kind of also you know he's towards have a bit extra questions have to say he's not in the book so books clinic. He's you know what -- gold ball tropical crazy stare at of course travel really see. Jason Witten will constantly you know rarely have a -- for these players split screen time. Well you don't you don't you come up totally committal saying yeah he'll make him well. Him to commit such as you'd see his work that the -- Ortiz at that often feels. You know -- change course record every day."

" Quite consistent thing about Jason Witten again I don't I don't think -- I don't think it seemed about to go that's not true about Jason Jason it's time with the media as he should he he works hard. He's -- he's you know model I think the model of consistency -- the softened but. Yeah I agree he's I think he goes right up there as far as the consist of players not -- I think Jason's at insisted -- now."

" And Sean May meet maybe your your you miss some because you're not local but it and and actually mostly what -- gonna get you -- get TO on putting up again and Witten is up there. Not on the podium because they only have TO drama and that's that's -- the -- PR that but. With -- faces the music after every game after Pittsburgh -- in the -- locker room taking the blame for -- is an exception about."

" There are the other -- that he doesn't come up. Obviously you know you don't hear as much problem with that -- international you workable that I have been sort of Little League coach. So we don't -- go to -- trying to use it to unfortunately. Estate you know that media that's already have a problem with Theo yeah eight TO -- heated up so would actually determined to purportedly came negative. That's the case I don't think folklorist airport I don't think it would help Republican loving. None of the players all the well at least not publicly fan I don't like even properly I don't like come up with a belly as a -- assistant Jeff Garcia. In the media when he blew affiliation ultimately. Was in the media you don't hit that you hit just anonymous sources -- scuttled the -- Question for the credibility of these so called anonymous sources. You know about -- that's just. This is currently unfortunately there on the mic and fortunately I think he's appealed to be very comfortable lead because it's just too much for him or -- Forty has potentially can -- just. I think it'll be. It -- you know he's going to have the opportunity that just another because people think a lot of criticism before he gets a lot of credit."

" It's not I don't how close the same question -- posted -- to nick about that that do you think that. Yells that's the proper example both. On the field as well as -- Dillon and police domes this -- and my question. -- days -- you know in the strip clubs in Britain are neck got -- that's never been to yell. But disease at the right example. All the time -- most of the time enough to where the players on the team who respect him as a leader of of the."

" Well from one up from what I have seen them that you try to do more than what immediate National -- eight years. I think so because. I think he people think he can actually scored. He's a wonderful somewhat humorous attempt to -- don't really built -- he's very terrible. He's he's a great player on the field he as. He does the best he can't -- one think he's done this season probably forty in the season. He's held himself -- or -- see the outreach. The culture support for the players for that matter even likable that we talked about with the with the -- that people can -- him. With him into the garage they're -- it wasn't about him put him -- it to commit to help. Multiply captain played better which is likely Klecko attraction to defeat blows that. You know from different continuation a lot of that schools should now be quiet and not really favorite thing and it compared to Michael Irvin. Ever want a great practice player but he had his -- the field Bellamy he was constantly in the media off the field with his. Whatever problem he has so. Gotta respect I think he doesn't go that he did a better job we -- the better job now -- have to -- He's not as big a little vocal leader that -- what is so."

" Are some were present -- I thought. I think that's a good point he makes about Michael -- out he had his off field Indian -- lot of them play on that team did to he had. And it but the people -- dead teammates still willing to follow him despite expecting at positions off field so. I guess maybe maybe that doesn't matter as much you know maybe more of what you do on the field that dictates whether a guy's gonna follow USC leader of the team -- I think Michael though that if the differences Michael. Even though he did some things off the field when he was there. You practice hard right then you know right there in front of them and ended they could see them more yards TO doesn't. -- He's not a doubt Pavel it when he started obviously and his own thing he's always kind of felt like an outcast whose team and so he he kind of I think just -- unity kind of self motivate himself. And therefore it's hard to be. The team leader. When your god it's been an isolation and you don't work out here and you're not here all the time but doesn't mean you're not a leader Bennett. I think -- it was just different because. He was living and I right here now you know right here about it ranting and it's probably this not the same as well take in the same way. We talked to Woody what do you tell you that Irvin was a great leader but also tell -- at the unquestioned."

" Guy for that team and questions like man at the top was Troy Aikman's right. We getting enough compete Florida Tempe Arizona Romo -- step up leading -- and -- to be the quarterback. He it would be a disaster beaten would be in effect let. He's the played better and -- at an athlete does either this and that and play better make that tackle don't whiff on Westbrook in the open field. Make the pets when it's over the -- you know don't get beat around it they -- line. You know beat a double team wants it. You know don't kick the ball out of bounds don't drop. The the whole don't fumble the ball and letting gaggle 97 yards with that and he. Others -- lead in this anatomy. You know there's a problem will rumbled as though interception in Pittsburgh or -- Young men make that drive Pittsburgh driving down day. Two or three plays maybe even one Clinton win McCain. Then now's the leadership problems now is there an issue you know I mean it's like is Wade Phillips -- better coach that he was. You know it's. I'm completely with you him to -- all everything all these intangible kind of things are. That's on the -- statistics that. The whole thing about playing better they're not playing poorly because. Tony Romo went out this that it not a greatly I mean they're playing poorly because they're playing poorly the other team in some ways in enough ways to win the game is better. Like get it all that corrected and a national attempted -- game Memphis and Kansas you know -- out party which is considers. Decent coach is that really won the big one in in the a lot of people look given. And winning humans with candidate -- they record that year they were number one look at -- he's right but the one. They went the final four physically -- how one lost in the regular season that it is miracle really good candidate -- team. Yeah you'll find an and then it in the record books of going to -- today six -- the -- pick their title away at that there. You know accomplishments like that by them but. -- Jacko part was considered a decent coach could win the big game and -- people who gave -- a lot of -- for for several. You know in game bad decisions he's made. So. Curious about when national title. You know he tells the -- to go now Kansas knocked them down don't call anything the end of getting the three go to overtime. Fadeaway three he misses the shot. All of a sudden. All everything in the race that now he's a great coach -- let the kid makes reporter -- overtime and lose. He's Beckett and here is that that's the thing same thing with of this football season. One play here -- there. And and it'll they'll win the game and now there's leadership issues there's all those things are excuse play better play better."

" Block block tackle and stuff block the guy from try to block punts and do that in your in the playoffs. And the team that's in the Super Bowl you would have just beaten well but I guess it that that makes it sound very simplistic because you say okay how to play better. Everybody Griese got talent we think they got out rather mean it adequate it had to get it to the point where you motivate them enough to play better. And not being coached up properly and properly motivated or what the well one thing is unique guy to be helping. We always throw that out. Like kind of obviously -- and after -- does Alex used but a lot of their players that they really needed. They get there yet but it teams a lot better Felix Jones and into the books output like this. Say the injury to Romo."

" Was any -- injury on this team this year as catastrophic as the injuries at some of the other team who played well this year. -- Who comment the Giants and the yet and leaning Giants the Patriots and cynic well I understand I'm just saying you know you look at these teams in the way they play. And at his own ability in today's NFL they aren't very meeting to get to a season without. Some kind of significant injury and in the grand scheme of things. Outside of -- losing Romo but again I think that was really the key I think if you -- want to talk injuries. Nobody can beat effect it would rubble left and Brad Johnson was in aren't there was a huge shift. I don't I don't put so much on the in view of -- of -- don't because again I always go back to winning had him it -- using him enough. So it did they really miss what they want to use."

" Yet things. Because -- reason -- he -- cuts that is my place. Mean you don't think you had another big play out kick returns and I -- both the six yard touchdown thirty yard touchdowns and even go to war playing as much as thought they converted of still use them. In a thrilling game being played from anybody else. You know I think that did the team -- 97 last year. You know it does about. Two or three games. Fewer than we thought they might win. But."

" I don't think you blow it up that's I don't know that that's. The problem it's like what you know played better I begin to do that. Probably take the same approach in -- going to tweak a few things perhaps in a different coaches have their philosophy maybe guys to be more vocal. It the end of the day you know. You lace them up you try again his theme I. Be honest with the go into next year I take. Would you take the Cowboys. As your team. But it or the Cardinals. Going in to next season. I've never been an active in the car under a product that in a way that's that's my point all along thus far wrote that article what's like -- blast -- several fans that that. That think that they can't say no Cowboys -- I. Yeah I think they are I think talent wise. You know in the destruction and everything that the ball on -- Dallas I think Dallas in the pieces that they have or Arizona or any other teams there's been around it. That night at seven I mean everybody's close. It worked for Arizona this year. Cowboys -- them -- do it again next year -- team lost. Though says."

" I don't quite fit they weren't that I felt was abetted in the this year but I agree you I had to when going -- still taken out with that's still like the pieces -- still think. They got what it takes the question is what's been missing ingredient in I think that's everybody -- that's why you've got some conversations about leadership to me conversations about. All these other ancillary things to football is because. There's something missing here. There's a reason why this team isn't living up to the potentially everybody thinks they have. And nobody requesting -- including the coach and the GM nobody seemed to right now being able to figure out why. Team isn't playing it. A couple of more about that on Thursday in actually may be on Thursday it will get back into our -- With the ability get back to our a series after our series on position breakdowns. Linebackers up next we -- talks about the Bulls were the two of double talk on Thursday may be get back into the yet talk on linebackers. Stay tuned for an effort to keep -- under the analysts rate Al -- back."
