00:00We bring you Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager, Jerry Jones. Good morning, sir.
00:21Hey, guys. Good morning. And it is great to be on with you, especially with the challenge
00:29we've got ahead of us Sunday. Now, obviously, this would make the challenge more difficult,
00:36but CeeDee Lamb and Trayvon Diggs both limited in practice yesterday, but is confidence high
00:41that both will be able to play on Sunday? Yes. Yes. That's a fantastic answer right there. It
00:49makes me feel a lot better on that one. Hey, Jerry, I just was told by a listener that's here
00:55with us that there's three airplanes of Ravens fans heading into town right now. That's a daunting
01:01group that's going to come and try and invade that. Does that make you a little nervous as
01:05they're trying to walk into your stadium? Not really. I know that there's a lot of tickets
01:13being sold to Raven fans, and you can tell that by, frankly, the activity in the off market,
01:21which is not your season ticket holder. But the bottom could be season ticket holders just
01:26selling those tickets for this game. But that's more than you want to hear. The facts are
01:32I fully expect this one to come. I had this one circled as a real, if you will, substantive game
01:42for everybody concerned with fans at the top of the list. Boy, they're a good football team,
01:48and that quarterback is as good as it gets. Their coach is outstanding. I think Mike and
01:55him in terms of their career record are real close. Mike may have him a few more games,
02:01Mike McCarthy, but he comes from great lineage, their coach. He's from that great coaching family.
02:09They know what they're doing over there and have all the respect in the world for Baltimore as a
02:13franchise. So you put that all together, this is NFL stuff out here this weekend.
02:19Jerry, I know that they're 0-2, but in a way, they're probably very desperate to get a win
02:26this year and not start off 0-3. Would you rather them have a win on their board right now and maybe
02:32not come in so desperate? You know, I love to do what we're doing here, and that's create special
02:42incentives for a team. And I personally have that. And while it'd be ridiculous to, and I seem to be
02:53using that word a little more than I should be lately, but it just really would not be accurate
03:00at all to say this is a must-win game for either team. It's just not, because that's the NFL.
03:08We guys, we just need to remind ourselves that this entire offseason has been about what?
03:15Criticizing us for how we played in the playoffs last year. Not about how we played during the
03:20season. Not about how Dak was almost the most valuable player in the league during the season.
03:27Our focus from a fan standpoint, and I'll tell you this, my focus from whatever I am standpoint,
03:35is about these playoffs.
