00:21Insider Calls are brought to you by Hillman's Real Mayonnaise.
00:24May your game day be delicious.
00:26And a good afternoon to you, Mark.
00:28How you doing?
00:29I'm doing great.
00:30I'm doing great.
00:31Yeah.
00:32Well, we're doing all right as well.
00:34I mean, I think better than some of the Cowboys players, third week in a row, they're getting
00:38frustrated.
00:39I mean, I guess one was the owner, one was the coach, and then Trayvon Diggs Sunday night.
00:44What do you think about a team lashing out at reporters here after losses?
00:48Well, it goes to show you, one, it goes to show you the frustration within the complex,
00:54within the team.
00:55And two, the lack of maturity.
00:58I mean, it's one of those things where I understand frustration, I get frustration.
01:05But the point is, is that ultimately, you got to go out and perform, you got to go out
01:11and work.
01:12And if you're not performing and you're not winning, you're open to criticism.
01:17So, you know, I mean, here's my always, my theory was always this as a player.
01:23There is nothing you can say about me.
01:26There is nothing you can talk about in regards to my game, that I'm not going to be 10 times
01:32harder.
01:33I'm not going to be a way bigger critic of myself than you could ever be.
01:39And the only time that you get, you know, your panties in a wad is when people say things
01:45about you and it's true and you don't like it.
01:48So that's been my experience playing, you know, 12 years in the league.
01:52That was just kind of how I felt about it.
01:54By the way, I've got Tennessee this weekend, and I don't know if you guys know this, but
01:57they've got a good little back named Pollard, you've probably never heard of him.
02:01Yeah, he's not bad.
02:02He's actually playing, you know, on a bad team, but he's playing pretty well.
02:04He's a good little run blocker, a good little running back, really explosive.
02:09Yeah, you guys, I mean, obviously you guys couldn't afford getting backs this year because,
02:14you know, Jerry Jones has said so, but I just keep looking at going, boy, he looked good
02:18in a Dallas Cowboy uniform, but you know.
02:20Yeah.
02:21I mean, he was here four out of the five years, couldn't get him on the field because, you
02:24know, you had the great Ezekiel Elliott who needed the majority of the carries, and I
02:28guess we're still dealing with that.
02:30Yeah, right.
02:31Exactly.
02:32Anyhow, I don't mean to poke fun, but I was like, damn, how'd this guy end up not being
02:39part of that team?
02:40So anyhow, whatever.
02:41I digress.
