00:00Right now, brought to you by Ford, and your North Texas Ford dealers, Ford is the best
00:19in Texas.
00:20It is Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager, Jerry Jones.
00:24Good morning, sir.
00:25Hey, good morning, guys.
00:26Kevin, Cory, Mike.
00:27Good to be on with you.
00:31Now, we love talking with you every single week.
00:34Obviously, some tough news yesterday, not just from a team perspective of what he means
00:38on the field, but can you tell us about, you know, what Zach Martin means to the organization
00:44and to this locker room?
00:46Well, I will know that having him on the field is obviously a tremendous confidence boost.
00:57Builder for the entire team when he's out there on the field.
01:02But his presence, his respect, carries a lot of weight, even when he's not on the field.
01:09Just his general presence with the team.
01:12And of course, we could potentially have a measure of that, even though he's going to
01:18have this surgery.
01:20But there's no doubt about it, he's missed, technically, out there with the overall team
01:29aspect of the offensive line.
01:31It's a team within a team.
01:33And leadership plays a big role in that case, as well as just technically understanding
01:41just a matter of almost breathing to him to be able to make the calls and do the things
01:47that are needed to help that offensive line make the blocks and make the protections they
01:52need to.
01:53So, he'll be missed here for the next ballgames that we have, but obviously we all want this
02:04to be a successful surgery.
02:06No reason why it shouldn't be.
02:10It shouldn't be viewed as an end to his playing at all, it should just be viewed as, of course,
02:18an alteration of what he's going to be able to contribute this season.
