00:00Jerry, I wanted to get your first public comments in reaction to the Eagles game and your thoughts
00:21on what happened Sunday in Philadelphia.
00:25Well we let it get away from us.
00:27I was pretty encouraged the way we stepped out and opened the game and I really thought
00:34that we were playing well and I was surprised really when we let that thing get away from
00:42us and we know that once a team gets up a couple of scores on you, they really can pin
00:50their ears back and that's what was happening.
00:54I was surprised that we didn't match up better relative to the way we were moving the ball,
01:03playing offense.
01:04Again, I liked the way we started, but we let them take the air out of us there midway
01:11through that second quarter and going in at times.
01:15I was surprised that we were in the shape we were in as we entered the third quarter.
01:19Jerry, you know we're always comparing ourselves here and in Philadelphia to each other.
01:24Yesterday, Steven touched on the way that they've built their team.
01:27What are your overall thoughts on the Eagles, the way that they've built it and their possibility
01:32as a playoff and Super Bowl contender?
01:37Well I've got a lot of respect for that team this year and I thought they did pretty well
01:42the other day with their backup quarterback and of course we think a lot of their starting
01:49quarterback and I like what they've done.
01:52They've got some big guys on the front, big defensive linemen and they've got a real solid
01:58offensive front.
02:00If you look at our best years and you look at, let's say, Dak Prescott's best years,
02:06it's when he's had outstanding offensive line and so I'm envious of any team that I see
02:14that's uniform across the board playing good football and that makes a big difference.
02:22But the good news is I think that is one of our strengths going forward.
02:27We've got some young guys, they've played a lot this year, they'll be much better next
02:33year and that will be a nice complement to what we expect from Dak and what we expect
02:39from our offense.
