00:00 Since the Dallas Cowboys suffered that wild-card loss. There's been a lot of drama. What do you make of all that?

00:05 Extracurricular noise and where do you see the Cowboys going from here?

00:09 Yeah

00:11 The end is is sudden and I've been on those teams when when you lose and you're not expecting to lose your seasons over

00:18 And you know, it's hard

00:20 You know, there's a post-mortem that goes with it. I know that the fans are shocked the organization shocked and

00:28 Planning on going to the championship game this week in San Francisco and I was planning on the Cowboys playing in it. So

00:34 Yeah, they and it's hard

00:36 It gets harder every year when you come up short like that just to to put yourself in the position all over again

00:43 you think about the amount of time the offseason and then a

00:46 17 game schedule and you've got to have some good fortune to put together a good year

00:50 You've got to stay healthy at the key positions and then you get to the postseason and you're the number two seed with an opportunity

00:57 To have two playoff games at home and and then you lose the first one

01:00 Overcoming that it if they are able to get back in that position again next year

01:07 I'm not sure people will truly appreciate

01:11 How hard that was to do because this is a big disappointment for them and they'll lick their wounds for a few months here

01:35 Until you win

01:38 The questions of whether you can win will will always exist and the people who say you can't

01:43 They're right until you do it, you know, and then you don't have to hear about it anymore

01:48 And I know it's important to him. I you know, one of the reasons why I have so much respect for him

01:52 Is that he doesn't shy away from that?

01:55 He's been very open that you know

01:56 All that matters is Super Bowls and not every quarterback has felt that way, you know

02:01 And as long as they're putting up big numbers, and so I'm hopeful that that he's able to do it
