Welcome, Welcome, I'm anything.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We got We've got like now this.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
It might be because the Cowboys and the Star do
such a great job of like celebrating the season the
way they've got the closet lit up, the tree, the
whole thing. If you have never experienced the Star District
during the Christmas season, do yourself a favor. Come out
and see you take the kids and look at the
(01:23):
big lights and the trees and shop and then you
come in it's a little nippy, so you come into a.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Place like sidecar social.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Here we are with one hundred and fifty television screens
just on that side of the room, and then they
should have more noise than that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
When we say welcome everybody, it's the Cowboys Hour. Okay,
that's a little bit better. We're very well. It was
the long weekend. They don't know what to do with themselves,
but we're back on a schedule. We're delighted to have
you here.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
We are especially happy to welcome our guests so you
and we can all get to know new Cowboys linebacker
Logan Wilson.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Thanks for being here. Appreciate it very much. Appreciate it.
So thank you for joining us here tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Thank you for being with us wherever you are on
the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Thank you for joining us wherever and whenever you are

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Dallascowboys dot Com. That's what these little boxes are cameras, Logan.
So somebody's at all times looking.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Now, Nicole.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Remember last week you gave me major side eye when
I said that those two cameras were like right up
next to each other.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Remember where are they now? In their normal place.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Well, they gotta give us different angles, you know. It's
got to switch it up sometimes. So I get a
crowd shot every now and then get a you know, wide.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Shot every now, and I am editing myself. We got
to switch it up sometimes.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I'm editing myself in ways you cannot imagine, but I'll
share with you later. So the Cowboys are into the
fire a quarter of the season now, and we're just
really happy to be able to give all of Cowboys
Nation a chance to get to know Logan Wilson. I
(03:11):
say this all the time. The thing that I like
doing it, We've been doing the show for a long time.
The thing I like doing about it is making you,
guys three dimensional. You are more than just numbers on
a shirt and a cage on your head. You're human
beings and people like to be able to identify with
you and know a little bit about you. And that's
(03:32):
one reason I'm delighted to have you here tonight so
people can do that. So for those of you, I
think you probably all know Logan was a career Cincinnati
Bengal until about.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Six weeks ago. And has your head stopped spinning yet, I.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Can't believe you just said six weeks ago. I mean,
it's crazy it's been that long. So you know, I'm happy, happy.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
To be here and be a part of this organization.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Well, go ahead, and no place in the best part
about being here so far, fresh start.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Honestly, you know the way things ended in Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
It is what it is. But you know, I'm happy
to be here in this organization. The guys in the
locker room or a bunch of great dudes, it's a
good culture. They care about winning and it's just a fun,
fun place to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Before I forget the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Today, for those of you who don't know, most of
you probably do, this was the day annually that the
players went out and made hospital visits in Dallas and
ford Worth to kids who were in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You were part of that today. Players through the years
have told us all.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That that's one of the best things they do all year,
get to visit with kids and kind of interact with
them and restore a little perspective.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Cincinnati do something like that.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
No, they didn't, And like, as I was walking through
the hospital today, I was wishing like that during my
five and a half years that I was there, that
we did something like that, because it just offers lot
of perspective on life, especially going through a children's hospital
when you have a kid of your own. It's it's
really sad and an eye opening to kind of see
kids like that that are battling whatever they're going through,
(05:11):
and you know, you just you know, pray for them
and hope that they can make a good.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Recovery with whatever they're going through.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
But it definitely was it was an eye opening and
humbling experience for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And this time of year around Christmas.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Right right, you get a few little heart string tugs
from Yeah, there's I mean, there's there's you know, you're
walking through a couple of rooms You're like, I could
you know, I could tear up right now if I
really wanted to.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
So, yeah, it's definitely some tier jerkers around there.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
One of the actually got a chance to go to
Scottish Rite and it has been probably one of the
best things that I get to go to as well
with the players. But what was one of your favorite
moments U, you know, getting a chance to talk to
some of those kids and have those interactions.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Oh man, you know, it's it's hard because sometimes the kids,
they're depending on the situation they're going through, they're not
always the most you know, happy there.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They're not.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
It's not like there the hospital's a happy place to
be spot right, And so you understand that aspect of it.
And but the kids were very excited just to see
Dallas Cowboys football players with our jerseys on, and even
the cheerleaders that were there too as well.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Yeah, you know, there was We went into a room
with a girl and she was more.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Excited to see the cheerleaders than she was to see
the football players, and rightfully so. But it's just it's
just really cool to put a smile on kids' faces
literally just by being.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
There, just because you know, gp George Pickens got a chance,
you know, one of the kids went up to him
and did his celebrations and practicing his celebration for about
a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So I thought that was pretty And did he did
Georgia get a kick out of that?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
He did?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
He did.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
He was like, I enjoyed it, like this is probably
one of the best. But you know, I got a
chance to talk to him and he said that was
his best moment.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
So yeah, So yeah, so it's been I said six weeks.
I didn't do the math, but it's been close to that.
It's been for four games.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Four games, yeah, and then it was a really.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So five, So this will be the sixth week.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And and I remember, uh, the press conference that you
had the night you got here and your family wasn't
here yet. And that's always a surreal People don't think,
I think, don't realize what a surreal moment that is,
even for somebody who's been in the league for a
few years, because your world just got turned upside down
(07:26):
and in the middle of a year, and I'll just
come on in and absorb everything new and make you
make yourself right at home. You had asked for for
to be moved because things weren't going well. Were you
were you still surprised when they did.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
It, Yeah, because it doesn't It doesn't hit you until
it's actually real, until everything's been confirmed, and like both
teams have agreed to the terms of the deal, and
so like when it happened on Tuesday morning, the day
of the trade deadline, and you just get like this
nervous pit in your stomach because you're about to move
your whole family again across the country. And I think
(08:03):
I can hear my daughter yelling Dad die in the background.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, but we like that. Like that, you'll both you'll
you'll both be up here in a few minutes. We're
gonna Your wife just said, well, yeah, we will.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
The blessing of all that, though, is it did happen
on Bye week, so like I got the ability to
come out here make sure I did my physical, but
then I actually got to fly back to Sincy and
kind of spend that week in basically trying to get
her house packed up. Even though my wife is a saint,
did pretty much all of it, and she she pretty
much holds our whole family down. So I'm very thankful
(08:38):
to have her. And that's another important aspect of being
successful in the football field is having a you know,
a good a good wife to do life with outside
of it.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
So what was the most challenging part about.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
That week for you?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Well, yeah, and then it was just a tough so
you're you're bouncing all that, and then it's a tough
situation coming in when the Marshawn dealing thing happened, and
so very unfortunate circumstances.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Like one day you're here, one day, Yeah, and oh,
by the.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Way, yeah, yeah, and with a bunch of guys I
still didn't didn't know me from Adam and I didn't
know them from Adam, and so it was a weird
situation for sure. But you know, Shody came up to me,
I don't I think it was like that Wednesday when
I was still here, and he literally just emphasized, He's like,
just this before everything happened, but he's just like emphasized,
just just be yourself. And I appreciated that and just
(09:31):
like hearing that from the guy who runs runs the
team and runs the culture, to just come in and
be myself and be there for the guys if they
needed me, even though they didn't know me. Just trying
to be there for him through through a tough time
like that.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
But before he had that conversation with you, were you imagining, Okay,
what what do I have to do to fit in?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
How do I have to go earn my merit badge?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah? I feel like naturally, you you do, especially coming
into a new team you don't really under You don't
know what the scheme looks like, the verbiage looks like
within that scheme, Like there's so many different variables that
you got to think about, and then you got to
worry about the special teams aspect of it, and then
getting to know guys in your linebacker's room, and then
getting to know as the middle linebacker, you got to.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Get to know the d line, the dbs behind you.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Like, there's just a lot of factors that go in
and more than anything like, stuff like that just takes
time to get to know all those different things.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well, what would you say when you talk about you
having to balance everything, you know, getting your family here,
learning a new system, kind of maneuvering through the marshawn
neland thing, what would you say is kind of like
the I'm trying to think of the words I'm trying
to say below. Where would you say the kind of
(10:42):
ranks amongst the most that you're trying to trying to
figure out because it's kind of difficult to kind of
maneuver through all of those things at the same.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Time, I would say that the biggest thing I was
trying to figure out was the defensive terminology so that
I could find a way to contribute whatever that looked like,
you know, getting here and the outside the field stuff.
I mean, that's a lot of my wife.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
My wife took care of a lot of that, which
took a lot off of.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
My plate so I could focus on football, which was
a very important piece.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
What did it teach you about yourself that you didn't
know about yourself?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I feel like through that, I just realized how how
easily humans can actually adapt to different situations based on
whatever the circumstance is. Like us humans, sometimes we don't
give ourselves enough credit for how how well we can
adapt to certain situations. And you know, it's even it's
like being a rookie all over again in a sense,
like you're still a vet, and so people respect that
(11:37):
as a vet when you come into this league and
you come into a new team, but you're still a
rookie in terms of like learning the system, new coaches,
new building, Like there's so many different factors and so
just probably that how how well we can adapt as humans.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
We're gonna take our first break and then we're gonna
ask you to give us a little a lesson in
learning a brand new language in football, Harlan's you got
you can do the exact same things, and if they're
all called different, it's like walk in speaking Russian, but
they're talking.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Greek, yep, and it doesn't really matter. So that's coming up.
Speaker 4 (12:12):

Speaker 1 (15:40):
To the miller like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Welcome Back.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
We are at a Sidecar social in the Star District
on the middle Like Cowboys Hour.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Thank you very much, thank you all for being here.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Logan Wilson, the Cowboys linebacker, is our guest this evening.
Brad Sham and Nicole Hutchinson. I would ask you if
Cowboys linebackers sounded funny, except.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You were that before you were a Bengal, correct. I
couldn't think. I couldn't find the your high school team's nickname.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
What was that?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
We're the Mustangs that close?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
That would have been something else and I and I
saw one piece that a guy I used to know,
Tracy Ringlesby, wrote about you coming out and the and
the maybe it was your senior year, and the headline
that they put on it was Logan Wilson born to.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Be a cowboy. Yeah, but he was talking about a
Wyoming cowboy.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
So let let's start with that.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You because you're from Wyoming and you you only got
offered by Wyoming and Weaver State. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's correct?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
How in the world is that possible?
Speaker 6 (16:54):
I think that's what happens when you're from the state
of Wyoming. There's not as many opportunities that come out.
You kind of have to go to camps and put
your name out there and which I did, and some
teams just didn't want me. And that's just the way
it goes.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
This little pink, she can come up, she can join,
you can join, just wants to come to see.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
That's Mom's over there giving it the big eagle eye
saying let let's see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Let's this will be very interesting to see how this words.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What what a CUTEI all right, since she's here and
so adorable, and you talked about her the first night
you were here, you know, I got to get my
family here, and there was a mention of a cat, also.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
A cat and two dogs and got too too much
hair in our house.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well that's can't help you with that.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
But has and so has everybody made it all the
four legged people are also the whole our whole clan
is here.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Okay, very good. So she's what is she too?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
She's almost two?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah, she's a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So let's talk about since she is so adorable, the
two of you do very good work. How she changed
your life and your outlook on life.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
It's just put a lot of things into perspective about
like what's really important. Like football is just a small part,
but it's really not the end all be all. Family
is second most important in front of after faith. But
I feel like she just put a lot of those
things into perspective, and you know, it makes you makes
you want to be a better person, better father, better husband,
(18:27):
and just make sure that she has all the tools
that she needs to be successful when whenever she grows up,
but she can doesn't need to grow up too fast.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Just.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
As a dad. Let me just tell you it's gonna
be way faster than you are. Very active child. This
is this is this is very very positive, and she
will keep you on your toes.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah. I joked with the guys when I was in Synci.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I was like, I come here, I practice and I
work out, and then I go home and I'm still
doing it because I'm chasing her around.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And that's more exhausting. You can't reason with her, like, you.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Know, she doesn't always listen, Hey, what happens?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Girls are for? Oh I'm shutting up now so much?
Have I should say?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
What's dad like? Life?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Dad life like?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Honestly, it's it's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
It's the best, you know, in terms of like the
whole perspective thing about football, Like she doesn't care if
I if we want her loss, Like I come home
and she's.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Excited for Dad to be home. And you know, I
love I love that aspect.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Of it, just being able to come home to her
smiling face.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So it's been it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I remember when Dad Prescott had his babies and he
was talking about that in strength.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
He didn't have them, you know what I mean, I oh,
my goodness. He he did none of the work.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
He did it, he did it.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
But when they had their babies, talk about you know,
the inner Dad's strength that you found when you did
have yours.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Yeah. Yeah, it It's funny because you don't realize how
well you can function on limited sleep. And so like
when I was, you know, the first because we had
her in March, so it was like in the middle
of off season. You know, I was going to work
out and it was like running on four hours of sleep,
and I was still lifting more than I had, you know,
the weeks prior. And so it's just like, how do
you You just don't realize what you can, what you're
(20:19):
capable of.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
And so I'm like, that's that is definitely dad strength
to a tea.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, all right, it's real.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
So let's just talk a little bit about because people
here don't follow the Bengals, right, Let's talk a little
bit about the years you had there, because they were
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You were a third round pick, you were a captain, you.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Had led in every kind there's I don't like to
drown people in statistics, but there are some very impressive
ones attached to your name, and clearly a leadership role
was something that came natural to you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It just seems that way. So we're are you surprised
that things started to go bad?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I mean two three years in when you're starting and
you're playing all the time and you're playing, well, you
probably think I'm a Bengel.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean I I truly thought I was going
to retire in.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
In Sincy, and that's just kind of that's not somehow
sometimes this league is has that business aspect that just
it comes into play whether or.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Not you want it to happen or not.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
And so.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
That's kind of what came in in in Sincy. And
you know, I enjoyed my time there and obviously very
thankful for the organization for taking a chance on me
there because I probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to
you guys if they if they didn't, and so.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure if you were with the Bengals,
you would not be sitting here talking about So I
think that's probably a safe thing to say. And for
the for the audience who is not watching, streaming or
here with us. You're listening and from time to time,
Logan says, Hi, he's not being extradized to us as
his daughter is just making herself available. Dad, just checking in,
(22:09):
making sure, making sure you're still here. The leadership role.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Natural for you.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
Did that?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Just is that always something that you've kind of just
that's who you are.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
I've always been like a leader by example. I've always
tried to do the little things the right way. I've
never been the the raw, raw like get you motivated
kind of leader.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
That's just not how I was.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
And so I've always tried to just do those little
things the right way because those are what end up
being the big thing or making up the big things,
whether that's in football or life or whatever they are.
And so, you know, having seen a lot of football too,
you know, I think I can there's a lot of
things that I can do to help younger guys around me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Excuse me, just.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So you know, in my life, no one ever looked
at me the way that little girl just looked at
you for about five seconds.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I mean, is he wrapped around her little finger already? Yeah? Okay,
so that's over. Yeah, sorry, literally a go ahead.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So I was struck by something you said the night
of the your first press conference here, and your head
coach in Cincinnati has echoed it that for whatever reason
you besides injuries, you had some knee problems this year
a little bit, but for whatever reason your snaps decreased.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's that's really neither here nor there.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
But you were very outspoken about saying, yeah, but I'm
going your The words you used were I'm going to
keep pouring into our young linebackers and do everything I
can to help them get better. And every guy who
sees his playing time diminished in in various sports that
doesn't always have that attitude.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I got to pull the curtain back
just so those of you can't see.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
So we have these three cameras set up on tripods
for Dallas Cowboys dot com and this very active princess
she is roaming and she was just about to see
if I pull on this one, what will happen? And
her mother set a new Land speed record for the
(24:30):
fifteen yard sprint to get there and make sure nothing happened.
This is parenthood. And here's the bad news. When's in
about fifteen years. The problems only change, they don't get easier,
they don't go away.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Sorry, I digress.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I might tackle that one in fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, Well, just one at a time, one at a time.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
A lot of guys who's playing time diminishes for whatever reason,
are not really interested in helping the younger guy who
may be trying to take their job.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That was never your approach.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Why, That's just not how I was raised, and it's
not I've had plenty of people that have poured into
me to help me get to where I'm at, and
I think that that's the right thing to do.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
And the legacy and the impact that you can have
on people is far more important.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Than keeping everything you know to yourself. You know, the
instances when I was in college, I had a senior
that took me under his wing and helped me out,
help me figure out how to how to do everything.
And then when I got to the NFL, I had
another veteran linebacker that had been in the league I
think eight years at the time, and so he seen
a lot of Josh Binds his name, had seen and
(25:38):
played a lot of football and did everything he could
to help me. And he was on a one year deal.
He knew what his role was, but like I always
appreciated that about him. You know, another guy, Sam Hubbard
taught me everything to how to take care of my
body outside of the facility and all those different things.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Hub Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
But the impact that those guys have all had on me, Like,
that's that's.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
What I want to be for other guys, is I
want to give them the tools that they need and
have to be successful in this league, because that's that's
more important than anything else.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
This is what I hope people can appreciate.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
So you have things to teach de marve on Overshow,
who's clearly I'm sure you figured out he's pretty gifted.
But you have experience and you have leadership qualities refined
by time, and you have those things to teach it.
(26:32):
But he knows here and he knows he knows the
defense the coaches. So are you teaching each other and
I'm just using him as.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Well as example.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Yeah, I feel like we're all teaching each other and
I'm learning from them, especially because they've been in the
system this whole year. Just trying to anything that you know,
f I see thing something a certain way, especially like.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Even Schamar another rookie you know in the room and JB.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Both those guys like sometimes asked me questions, you know,
like while we're in the back and the other guys
are out doing the walk through, They'll ask me a
question while we're out there watching the walk through, not
getting a rep, but trying to get a mental rep
of the repetition. So just any way that I can
help those those guys like that's that's what I.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Want to be, aside from being that veteran presence that
a lot of these younger guys can learn from. What
was the other role that you know, Shoddy kind of
talked to you about when you have that conversation obviously
you were coming to the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, we didn't really have that much of a conversation
about what my specific role was going to be.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I kind of assumed it.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You know, you're you're in year six, you get traded
mid season, that you're that you have that veteran presence
in a locker room that you know. I came in
and I was the oldest guy in the in the
room literally, and so I mean Cannine had played as
we were both in the same draft class, but in
terms of actual physical age, like I am older and
so being that older guy like you know, I just
(27:58):
want to be that mature guy that they can can
ask questions and if they need help with anything, Like
I want to be an open book.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Okay, I don't want us to get behind us.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
We're going to take our next break, and then I
really do want to get to that language thing, terminology
and how you learn how to how you learn how
to speak cowboy when you've been speaking Bengal for for
all these years. We are at sidecar Social on the
Midller like Cowboys Hour. We are in the Star District

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Logan Wilson, the Cowboys linebackers, our guests this evening. We'll
be right back, Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
How was don't cowards?
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Ms?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Okay to the miller Like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Welcome Back to the Miller Like Cowboys our brand, Sham
and Nicole Hutchinson. We are at Sidecar Social the Star
District in Frisco with Cowboys linebacker Logan Wilson, our very
special guest this evening.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Make him feel welcome, please, And this is our regular
Monday night home and we.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Will be here actually every Monday night for the rest
of the season, including the Monday night before Christmas, even
though forty eight hours after that the Cowboys will be.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
On airplane and go to Washington. Merry Christmas, no, I
mean May Christmas. Really, let me ask you this as
a veteran player.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Three teams Dallas, Kansas City, and Detroit are playing on
both Thanksgiving and Christmas, which means it's not the holiday
aspect of it that bothers me that much, but.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
The short week within a month.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
To do that as a especially veteran players, to do
that twice in a month, that seems wrong. That just
seems really wrong to ask of you guys to do.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
I would agree, Well, I think we just came off
a window was like four games in eighteen days.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, have you ever done that before? No, how do
you feel.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I mean, I feel okay, you know, I haven't been
playing the whole game, so which is that helps that aspect,
But I think it is hard on the body when
those especially late in the year, when you get those
Thursday night games, Like whenever the season comes out, you
want the Thursday night game to be earlier in the
year so you can just knock it out. That was
on were and since you hear there's a lot more
(33:30):
games on primetime versus in Cincinnati, and so.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You get used to that.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Yeah. Yeah, the Christmas thing will be weird because we're
away too, so like we'll have to leave on Christmas
Eve and be gone on Christmas and with a little
one at home.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That kind of sucks.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yah.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
I was hoping we'd be at least home, you know,
to be able to be home in some aspect.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
But you know, we'll adapt to it.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
How much does your recovery change when you're having to
play in those short weeks compared to obviously a regular
NFL Sunday week.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
Yeah, truly, it depends how beat up you get the
week the game prior.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
That's a that's a big thing.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
So if you can make it through that game like
unscathed in a sense that helps with the recovery aspect.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
But you're pretty much just jam packing everything you would.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
And well, especially on a even a shorter week, when
you're leaving Wednesday, really like you're off the field work
that you get, you got to jam pack it in
Monday Tuesday. So it's like you got two days versus
you got if it's a normal week, you got Monday
and Tuesday, and then you practice Wednesday Thursday. But then
Friday is a half day, so you get that. You
got Friday, you can do stuff. You got Saturday, you
can do stuff. Yeah, you know. And so when you're
(34:33):
traveling on Wednesday, like you don't really have that Wednesday,
and then you play Thursday and you can't really you're
not gonna bring people all that to Washington. So it's
just it's everything's condensed.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well, the good news about the Christmas game is it's
the first game of the day, so we should be
back by eight a. Yeah, eight nights. So just keep
her up, mob, that's no problem, is it for you?
Just keep her up or wake her up about seven
thirty so she's ready to go.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
I think we're not going to bed until midnight.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, but it's Christmas. You know, you don't want to
go to bed at night. Okay, let's I'm interested in
this in the language.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
First of all, is there any similarity between the scheme
that Matta Eberflus plays and and and you had a
coordinator change in Cincinnati anyway this year, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yes? Yeah, all right, so let's go back to that.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
How how different was was uh the scheme you played
before to what they're playing now in Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Yeah, there was the big There was a lot of
things that we had done and then there were some
things we hadn't done. So really, more than anything, like
when you're learning a new a new system, you just
try to like because even coming here there there's all
things that I've done before. It's just connecting the words
the terminology in terms of what it's called here. You know,
(35:51):
like I've played a certain coverage in Cincinnati that was.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Called this, but here it's called this where we play
it the same way.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
And then there's sometimes there's covered is that you haven't
played in a while, but they call it something.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
There's just you got to balance all all of that.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Can you say, like the name of the cover is
you're not given anyway, given away any state secret. Sorry
if you say in Cincinnati you played it coverage that
was called.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Oh yeah, I mean you could like there's a the
general term for like a three match defense is like jade, Like.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
People played jade and what do they call it here?
It's called fifty nine here and.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So oh so you went from from like colors to numbers.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
But like even in Sincy with this the last coordinator,
with Al Golden the coordinator, everything was like in its
own bucket. And so there was like you know, there
was NBA teams, there was MLB teams.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
There was there's all sorts of so it's yeah it
I remember during Ota is actually this year I spent
like two and a half two hours a night just
trying to figure out everything. And I'm just like Jesus,
is this is insane?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I mean you have to no, wait, it's not that
because that's the NBA team terminology, right, this is it's
this because that's a baseball terminal.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
That's what it tells you.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
And this is called tiger.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
This type of it's like this type of pressure or
it's this type of of coverage.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Like there's different.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
You definitely have to be able to compartmentalize things with
where how you put it and how you learn it,
because it's not it's.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Definitely not easy.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
And then you got that down and now you come here,
and now let's forget all of that because the same
thing now has a number value.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Right Yeah, I think I think why it just went out.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Your headset just went out.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
It's here you sound We're good, Okay, good. Yeah, you're
basically trying like I was just saying earlier, you have
to connect those those whatever it is. Like in this scheme,
it was this and this is how I learned it,
But here it's called this and this is how we're
gonna That's how I just needed.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
To learn it. You're basically relearning the same thing, but
in a new term.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
The Logan Wilson film session, learning the new terminology for you, like.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Understanding what the honestly it was when I first got here,
Like my linebacker's coach gave me six base coverages that
were pretty much gonna be in every single game plan.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Because he wanted to get the gist of like what
we were running here.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
And then as we've gone along, like there's been all
the little nuances, there's been the all the other coverages
outside of those main.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Six that we were running. And so that's kind of
how I was how I learned it was.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
I spent a couple you know, I spent time with
him extra time to make sure that I was good
on those six coverages.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
And then.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Basically how they have everything categorized here, just understanding like
when it's called this, like this is the pressure we're running,
linebackers are going in this cover you know, just all
those different things.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
It's just kind of detail, very very detail, Rey and all.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
That's great, But you're the middle linebacker.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
Yeah, so when you're in the game, you got the
green dot, you're hearing the play be set.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
In and you got to make the call.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Not only do you have to learn it, you now
have to run it right.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Yeah, we'll have fun.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean is that one of the most
challenging things you've had to do.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Yeah, because it's like, I mean, you're the quarterback of
the defense. It's not like it's it's different versus you know,
having a a D lineman come in because they know
that they're playing three technique, you know what I mean,
Like if they can figure out they're playing three technique
versus in this front, like it's still a three technique versus.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
I got to know what the safeties are.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
Doing, what the D line's doing, and then make sure
the communications all the same and we're all on the
same page because that's the most important thing.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
And so that stuff just takes it takes time.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
When did you start feeling comfortable with everything next year?
Are you still not?
Speaker 6 (39:45):
It just depends on the call, honestly, Like, I mean,
there's some lot of the calls I've ran the most,
like I feel the most comfortable with, but the calls
I'd run the least like it just, yeah, is the
more the more you run something, the more you do anything,
the more comfortable you get it.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And you're still and you're splitting snaps, and I know,
sitting up there, you know I'm played by play.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
I'm watching the ball. But but I know that we're
not going to see Logan Wilson till next year.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
I mean, you won't really be able to turn it
loose and feel comfortable till next year, will you.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I don't know. I'm not, I'm not. I'm not worried
about that.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
I just worried about right now trying to find a
way to beat the Vikings on Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Good answer, very good answer. Okay, here's another thing that
I learned. The tell me that your high school nickname
again the best.
Speaker 7 (40:33):
I mean the name of the school Latrona County.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Uh, this man was, I believe all you'll correct me
all conference kicker, State, all state, Thank you very much,
all state kicker.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Okay, does Aubrey know that you're breathing down his neck?
Speaker 9 (40:50):
No?
Speaker 6 (40:51):
But I funny, I was actually in Cyincia. I was
actually the like the game day emergency backup kicker for
Evan McPherson.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
One of the things that I have learned through the
years is people automatically think that the putter is the
backup kicker. And that's so rarely true because putters, putters
don't place kick.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Once upon a time maybe, but that's not how I
don't think. I don't think Brian Anger is the backup kicker.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
I don't know who was the backup.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Well, it might be you, now, Boby.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
It could be they know that they know they know
your back certainly right, they know your background, so they
know you.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
I assume they would know. I don't I mean I
assume they know it from to high school, but I
don't know that for certain.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
I can't guarantee that.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
What what was your range? What was your field goal range?
Speaker 3 (41:38):
The longest I made in a game was a fifty
three yarder?
Speaker 6 (41:41):
Wow, and then I kicked a sixty in but it
was just like it didn't count for it's just in
practice on.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
The side, like my own practice.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
Okay, so I've made a sixty yarder before, just not
any accounted.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I mean, if you talked to Aubrey about that.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Hey, he's doing very good job. But he keep him
alone and let him do it.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yes, but he's younger. He's a little younger than you.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
I mean he's he didn't come in as a twenty
year old rookie, but he's a little younger.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
You know, you could say, hey, just not I'm not
trying to get in your business, but just so you know,
if you need any help, he would.
Speaker 6 (42:14):
Need to help me.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
What was your thoughts on What was your thoughts on
Brandon Aubrey when you saw how successful he was as
a kicker when you.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
Got here, Well, I didn't, I knew he was really good.
Speaker 6 (42:26):
And then you know, being in since he Evan was
really good too, so having good kickers is very important.
But I think I saw some stats like after this
this last game. I mean, he set like three NFL
records for one in this last game, and then there
was like the fantasy stat about he's like if you
put him at at quarterback, he's like quarterback twenty two
(42:47):
or like running based on the amount of points he's
scored because he kicked so many long field goals and
he's been so accurate, and you know that's just a
credit to the work that he's put in.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
But he's obviously very good at his job.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Yeah, nobody had ever kicked three fifty five or more
yardfield goals in one game.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Seems a little crazy, but we tend to expect that
of him.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Now.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Yes, it's a headline when he misses, will take our
last break.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
We're getting to know Logan Wilson, the Cowboys new linebacker,
and his beautiful family. We are very happy to have
them here and we will be right back at side.
Cars Social in the Star District.
Speaker 10 (43:32):
Cowboys, no cowbaws, no Cowboys, no plays.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Two one, You're back.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
To the Miller like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertsons welcome back.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
We are at Psychecar Social at the Star District in Frisco,
brand Sham Nicole Hutchinson our very special guest, Cowboys linebacker
Logan Wilson, who, along with his teammates, will play a
game stop the Presses on a Sunday this coming week.
The last time that happened was in October. Think about that.
(46:53):
Back to back Mondays. Oh no, wait, no, Philadelphia was
a Sunday. Philadelphia was a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Well that's one. It was one though, just thrown in
there to confuse everybody. But you were right about the
prime time stuff. So, uh, you go ahead and talk.
I'm not going to steal this from you.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
You know, I was talking about your podcast.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
What brought that?
Speaker 5 (47:14):
About the Wilson Family Playbook?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
That would be my wife's idea.
Speaker 6 (47:19):
She thought it would be a good idea to just
she's always wanted to start a podcast and just you know,
give people insight into how we live our lives and
the things that that we go through. Because we've had
a lot of people that have been close to us
and have reached out about wanting to know more just
and so we thought it was a good idea to
start a podcast, and.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
You know, we give fans an opportunity to.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
Basically she asked a question like at the end of
the podcast episode. We gave up fans an opportunity that
will on Instagram, you know, let them fill out a
question box and they can ask questions and we'll answer
some at the end of our podcast episode.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
So, Morgan is their name?
Speaker 6 (47:58):
Your wife's name?
Speaker 5 (47:58):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
So first of all, just so you know, during the break,
because Nicole told me I heard you talking. You said
you were going to try to maybe record an episode tomorrow.
So I went to Morgan and I said, listen, if
you want to practice, if you want to do this
last segment.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I'm good. I don't have to do it.
Speaker 4 (48:17):
And Morgan said she really doesn't like talking where people
can watch her.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
But she likes the podcast, but she can just talk
to her.
Speaker 6 (48:25):
Yeah, it's easy. It really is chill if you do
like podcasts.
Speaker 4 (48:29):
I so wish if we had more time, because I
even can do anything. I would hook up another microphone
because I would love to hear you talk about why
you thought it was a great idea to let the
world in on how your family functions, it lives its life.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
But I don't have that, So you're off the hook
for right now. But we'll tune in tomorrow's episode and
see where did you meet the two of you?
Speaker 6 (48:55):
Where?
Speaker 3 (48:56):
Yes, at the University of Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
And are you both Wyoming kids?
Speaker 7 (49:00):
She's from Colorado, but I'm from Wyoming.
Speaker 6 (49:02):
And then we met at the University of Wyoming.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
And and the rest is history, history in the making,
in the making. Okay, we've got a couple of questions
from our audience. Let's go right here.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
Good eating Logan.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Hello, my name is Rambo.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
That's a nice name.
Speaker 6 (49:18):
Oh, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
And he lets you know. So you're moved from Cincinnati
to Dallas.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
What has been the biggest, uh, most notable thing that
you've noticed between the Cincinnati Bengals fan base and the
Dallas Cowboy fan base.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
And they can't hear you in Cincinnati right now.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
That's a ah man.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
He's probably not been here long enough, Rambo ill.
Speaker 3 (49:47):
I am still figuring it out. I feel like.
Speaker 6 (49:51):
Gosh, I don't know how to how to compare him yet, honestly,
just because I was there for so long, like I
saw a lot of different days of the ebbs and
flows of the season, and I've only been here for
so long and we've trying to think we've played what
two home games? We won both of them. So fans
are pretty good for the most part. You know when
you're winning, and.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
You had some really good years in Cincinnati, right, But.
Speaker 7 (50:12):
The down years are or when fans are not very happy,
and that's that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't have an exact answer
for you. That's a tough question.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
I have them on again next year. We can check
back in. But here's the real question.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Have you had Are you a fan of Cincinnati CHILIU?
Speaker 5 (50:31):
No, they're known for Chile and Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Oh it's not really.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
They call it chili, but it's not to me.
Speaker 6 (50:39):
I grew up in in like Wyowming obviously, but it's
like chili's a hearty, like thick, like what's.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
In your chili when you when you want chili? What
what are the ingredients that don't show up in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (50:55):
Well, so in Cincinnati it's chili. Their chili is like
more of a sauce, like they throw it.
Speaker 6 (51:00):
On like spaghetti or hot dogs or things like that,
and so and it has like they think they have,
like I think it's a brown sugar that it's got
a little sweetness to it.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
Is there some chocolate in it?
Speaker 6 (51:10):
I don't know. I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
I never went got it like fresh O losing me with.
Speaker 4 (51:16):
I know, I'm I'm just I've never You don't know
about Cincinnati, yeah, not even with Well she came from here,
go just she came from Houston, so we're bringing her along.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
That's okay.
Speaker 6 (51:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
She's not missing out on un much.
Speaker 7 (51:34):
Okay, Okay, here we go, Logan, how's it going good?
Speaker 4 (51:39):
Good?
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Going back to your high school?
Speaker 4 (51:42):
The principal that's there now, I don't know if it's
the same principle I was there back then.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
But I noticed that his last name is the same
as yours. Are you related, Wilson.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
No, we're not related.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
How do you possibly know the name of the principle
of his high school?
Speaker 3 (52:00):
I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
You really you really need a hobby. This might be
your hobby. This is this is your hobby. Okay, uh, well,
there there went.
Speaker 4 (52:12):
But you could have you could have made up a
story right then about cousin Aaron, was it?
Speaker 2 (52:18):
But but not to be Okay, what other sports did
you play?
Speaker 6 (52:26):
So I played football, and then in the winter sport
I played basketball, and then in the spring I ran track.
Why football?
Speaker 5 (52:33):
Why'd you end up going with football?
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Might?
Speaker 6 (52:37):
I mean, if I didn't play football, I would have
ran track. But I think football was like the sport
that you had like a lim a finite amount of
time to play and so.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Understanding, uh like that that it was going to come
to an end sooner rather than later. And I and
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 6 (52:54):
And it was honestly the only offer that I had
was a full right scholarship, so I was able to
get my school paid for.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
Is the reason as well?
Speaker 4 (53:02):
Love that So when you before two years ago, when
you're not playing, what's what's your downtime?
Speaker 2 (53:10):
Like, what are you doing? Because I know what you're
doing with your downtime now.
Speaker 6 (53:13):
Yeah, in my downtime, my wife is a she's a
big foodie, so we would go we'd go.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
Find some spots and since to go eat.
Speaker 6 (53:22):
And then you know, if I was at home like
a big I like to play video games. You know,
it's a way for me to kind of stay in
touch with some of my friends from college and high
school and and so that's kind of what I do
in my free time.
Speaker 5 (53:35):
Favorite food spots so far here in Dallas, I got
a chance to be out.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
To dinner yet.
Speaker 3 (53:41):
Uh, you know it's funny.
Speaker 6 (53:42):
Was we've been out a couple of times, and I
mean we love True Food Kitchen. There's I don't even
know the name of the restaurant. It's a Mediterranean spot
that we've been to a couple of times. Darna Darla.
It's over right by a True Food. Yeah, it's a
it's a it's a really good Mediterranean spot that we've
(54:03):
been to a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
And then.
Speaker 6 (54:06):
Trying to think there's anywhere else we've really been. What's
the there's a spot right right in the Star that
we went went to, the Italian spot.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
Spot here in the start. Yeah, I mean there's a
lot of really yeah, it's like.
Speaker 5 (54:21):
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (54:22):
A lot.
Speaker 2 (54:25):
That you will if you're a foodie. Are you a foodie?
Speaker 6 (54:31):
I am because she is?
Speaker 2 (54:32):
Because she is.
Speaker 4 (54:33):
Uh, once you kind of you're get your feet settled,
and especially in the off season, for whatever time you're
around between Dallas and Fort Worth and places in between,
you could.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
You'll it's a full time job finding all the great
spots to eat, She'll find them.
Speaker 4 (54:59):
Did the the experience in Cincinnati this year do anything
to dim your love of the game, Uh.
Speaker 6 (55:08):
It does, It does a little bit. I feel like
it's just, you know, when you're getting the further into
your career you get, the the more you realize that
there's there might not be much, you know, time left
to play in this league, and so you just kind
of enjoy it while you can and and make the
most of it.
Speaker 5 (55:25):
How much did your wife play a role in keeping
your spirits up.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
A lot?
Speaker 6 (55:30):
You know, it's it's uh, it's it's not easy to
go through that, that benching, and but I feel like
I've always had a good perspective on what's most important
in life, and so you just kind of take it
on the chain.
Speaker 3 (55:43):
And control the control goles and and move on from it.
And so that's kind of what I've done.
Speaker 4 (55:49):
And it's unfair to ask you this and a little
bit of time, especially that we have left, but the
culture is clearly different. Team on a little bit of
a heater there for a minute, and you're you're not
even playing all the time yet, But do you feel
any of that coming back, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, this is what I love. This is what I
This is why I like the game so much.
Speaker 6 (56:13):
Yeah, it's hard to get a full I mean, you're
when you're playing this. I'm not playing a ton right now,
So just trying to like enjoy it while I'm in there.
And like I said earlier, just about controlling the controllables.
You know, I can't control how much how much I play,
but I can control what I do while I'm in there,
and so that's kind of what I'm focused on. All right.
Speaker 4 (56:32):
Well, we are delighted to have you here, and I've
seen enough of this to know we're we haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (56:37):

Speaker 4 (01:02):

way they've got the closet lit up, the tree, the
whole thing. If you have never experienced the Star District

big lights and the trees and shop and then you

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Place like sidecar social.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Here we are with one hundred and fifty television screens
just on that side of the room, and then they
should have more noise than that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
When we say welcome everybody, it's the Cowboys Hour. Okay,
that's a little bit better. We're very well. It was
the long weekend. They don't know what to do with themselves,
but we're back on a schedule. We're delighted to have
you here.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
We are especially happy to welcome our guests so you
and we can all get to know new Cowboys linebacker
Logan Wilson.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Thanks for being here. Appreciate it very much. Appreciate it.
So thank you for joining us here tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Thank you for being with us wherever you are on
the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Thank you for joining us wherever and whenever you are
streaming on.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Dallascowboys dot Com. That's what these little boxes are cameras, Logan.
So somebody's at all times looking.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Now, Nicole.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Remember last week you gave me major side eye when
I said that those two cameras were like right up
next to each other.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Remember where are they now? In their normal place.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Well, they gotta give us different angles, you know. It's
got to switch it up sometimes. So I get a
crowd shot every now and then get a you know, wide.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Shot every now, and I am editing myself. We got
to switch it up sometimes.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I'm editing myself in ways you cannot imagine, but I'll
share with you later. So the Cowboys are into the
fire a quarter of the season now, and we're just
really happy to be able to give all of Cowboys
Nation a chance to get to know Logan Wilson. I
(03:11):
say this all the time. The thing that I like
doing it, We've been doing the show for a long time.
The thing I like doing about it is making you,
guys three dimensional. You are more than just numbers on
a shirt and a cage on your head. You're human
beings and people like to be able to identify with
you and know a little bit about you. And that's
(03:32):
one reason I'm delighted to have you here tonight so
people can do that. So for those of you, I
think you probably all know Logan was a career Cincinnati
Bengal until about.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Six weeks ago. And has your head stopped spinning yet, I.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Can't believe you just said six weeks ago. I mean,
it's crazy it's been that long. So you know, I'm happy, happy.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
To be here and be a part of this organization.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Well, go ahead, and no place in the best part
about being here so far, fresh start.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Honestly, you know the way things ended in Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
It is what it is. But you know, I'm happy
to be here in this organization. The guys in the
locker room or a bunch of great dudes, it's a
good culture. They care about winning and it's just a fun,
fun place to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Before I forget the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Today, for those of you who don't know, most of
you probably do, this was the day annually that the
players went out and made hospital visits in Dallas and
ford Worth to kids who were in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You were part of that today. Players through the years
have told us all.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That that's one of the best things they do all year,
get to visit with kids and kind of interact with
them and restore a little perspective.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Cincinnati do something like that.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
No, they didn't, And like, as I was walking through
the hospital today, I was wishing like that during my
five and a half years that I was there, that
we did something like that, because it just offers lot
of perspective on life, especially going through a children's hospital
when you have a kid of your own. It's it's
really sad and an eye opening to kind of see
kids like that that are battling whatever they're going through,
(05:11):
and you know, you just you know, pray for them
and hope that they can make a good.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Recovery with whatever they're going through.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
But it definitely was it was an eye opening and
humbling experience for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And this time of year around Christmas.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Right right, you get a few little heart string tugs
from Yeah, there's I mean, there's there's you know, you're
walking through a couple of rooms You're like, I could
you know, I could tear up right now if I
really wanted to.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
So, yeah, it's definitely some tier jerkers around there.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
One of the actually got a chance to go to
Scottish Rite and it has been probably one of the
best things that I get to go to as well
with the players. But what was one of your favorite
moments U, you know, getting a chance to talk to
some of those kids and have those interactions.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Oh man, you know, it's it's hard because sometimes the kids,
they're depending on the situation they're going through, they're not
always the most you know, happy there.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They're not.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
It's not like there the hospital's a happy place to
be spot right, And so you understand that aspect of it.
And but the kids were very excited just to see
Dallas Cowboys football players with our jerseys on, and even
the cheerleaders that were there too as well.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Yeah, you know, there was We went into a room
with a girl and she was more.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Excited to see the cheerleaders than she was to see
the football players, and rightfully so. But it's just it's
just really cool to put a smile on kids' faces
literally just by being.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
There, just because you know, gp George Pickens got a chance,
you know, one of the kids went up to him
and did his celebrations and practicing his celebration for about
a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So I thought that was pretty And did he did
Georgia get a kick out of that?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
He did?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
He did.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
He was like, I enjoyed it, like this is probably
one of the best. But you know, I got a
chance to talk to him and he said that was
his best moment.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
So yeah, So yeah, so it's been I said six weeks.
I didn't do the math, but it's been close to that.
It's been for four games.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Four games, yeah, and then it was a really.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So five, So this will be the sixth week.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And and I remember, uh, the press conference that you
had the night you got here and your family wasn't
here yet. And that's always a surreal People don't think,
I think, don't realize what a surreal moment that is,
even for somebody who's been in the league for a
few years, because your world just got turned upside down
(07:26):
and in the middle of a year, and I'll just
come on in and absorb everything new and make you
make yourself right at home. You had asked for for
to be moved because things weren't going well. Were you
were you still surprised when they did.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
It, Yeah, because it doesn't It doesn't hit you until
it's actually real, until everything's been confirmed, and like both
teams have agreed to the terms of the deal, and
so like when it happened on Tuesday morning, the day
of the trade deadline, and you just get like this
nervous pit in your stomach because you're about to move
your whole family again across the country. And I think
(08:03):
I can hear my daughter yelling Dad die in the background.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, but we like that. Like that, you'll both you'll
you'll both be up here in a few minutes. We're
gonna Your wife just said, well, yeah, we will.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
The blessing of all that, though, is it did happen
on Bye week, so like I got the ability to
come out here make sure I did my physical, but
then I actually got to fly back to Sincy and
kind of spend that week in basically trying to get
her house packed up. Even though my wife is a saint,
did pretty much all of it, and she she pretty
much holds our whole family down. So I'm very thankful
(08:38):
to have her. And that's another important aspect of being
successful in the football field is having a you know,
a good a good wife to do life with outside
of it.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
So what was the most challenging part about.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
That week for you?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Well, yeah, and then it was just a tough so
you're you're bouncing all that, and then it's a tough
situation coming in when the Marshawn dealing thing happened, and
so very unfortunate circumstances.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Like one day you're here, one day, Yeah, and oh,
by the.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Way, yeah, yeah, and with a bunch of guys I
still didn't didn't know me from Adam and I didn't
know them from Adam, and so it was a weird
situation for sure. But you know, Shody came up to me,
I don't I think it was like that Wednesday when
I was still here, and he literally just emphasized, He's like,
just this before everything happened, but he's just like emphasized,
just just be yourself. And I appreciated that and just
(09:31):
like hearing that from the guy who runs runs the
team and runs the culture, to just come in and
be myself and be there for the guys if they
needed me, even though they didn't know me. Just trying
to be there for him through through a tough time
like that.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
But before he had that conversation with you, were you imagining, Okay,
what what do I have to do to fit in?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
How do I have to go earn my merit badge?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah? I feel like naturally, you you do, especially coming
into a new team you don't really under You don't
know what the scheme looks like, the verbiage looks like
within that scheme, Like there's so many different variables that
you got to think about, and then you got to
worry about the special teams aspect of it, and then
getting to know guys in your linebacker's room, and then
getting to know as the middle linebacker, you got to.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Get to know the d line, the dbs behind you.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Like, there's just a lot of factors that go in
and more than anything like, stuff like that just takes
time to get to know all those different things.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well, what would you say when you talk about you
having to balance everything, you know, getting your family here,
learning a new system, kind of maneuvering through the marshawn
neland thing, what would you say is kind of like
the I'm trying to think of the words I'm trying
to say below. Where would you say the kind of
(10:42):
ranks amongst the most that you're trying to trying to
figure out because it's kind of difficult to kind of
maneuver through all of those things at the same.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Time, I would say that the biggest thing I was
trying to figure out was the defensive terminology so that
I could find a way to contribute whatever that looked like,
you know, getting here and the outside the field stuff.
I mean, that's a lot of my wife.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
My wife took care of a lot of that, which
took a lot off of.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
My plate so I could focus on football, which was
a very important piece.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
What did it teach you about yourself that you didn't
know about yourself?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I feel like through that, I just realized how how
easily humans can actually adapt to different situations based on
whatever the circumstance is. Like us humans, sometimes we don't
give ourselves enough credit for how how well we can
adapt to certain situations. And you know, it's even it's
like being a rookie all over again in a sense,
like you're still a vet, and so people respect that
(11:37):
as a vet when you come into this league and
you come into a new team, but you're still a
rookie in terms of like learning the system, new coaches,
new building, Like there's so many different factors and so
just probably that how how well we can adapt as humans.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
We're gonna take our first break and then we're gonna
ask you to give us a little a lesson in
learning a brand new language in football, Harlan's you got
you can do the exact same things, and if they're
all called different, it's like walk in speaking Russian, but
they're talking.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Greek, yep, and it doesn't really matter. So that's coming up.
Speaker 4 (12:12):

To the miller like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Welcome Back.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
We are at a Sidecar social in the Star District
on the middle Like Cowboys Hour.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Thank you very much, thank you all for being here.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Logan Wilson, the Cowboys linebacker, is our guest this evening.
Brad Sham and Nicole Hutchinson. I would ask you if
Cowboys linebackers sounded funny, except.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You were that before you were a Bengal, correct. I
couldn't think. I couldn't find the your high school team's nickname.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
What was that?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
We're the Mustangs that close?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
That would have been something else and I and I
saw one piece that a guy I used to know,
Tracy Ringlesby, wrote about you coming out and the and
the maybe it was your senior year, and the headline
that they put on it was Logan Wilson born to.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Be a cowboy. Yeah, but he was talking about a
Wyoming cowboy.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
So let let's start with that.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You because you're from Wyoming and you you only got
offered by Wyoming and Weaver State. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's correct?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
How in the world is that possible?
Speaker 6 (16:54):
I think that's what happens when you're from the state
of Wyoming. There's not as many opportunities that come out.
You kind of have to go to camps and put
your name out there and which I did, and some
teams just didn't want me. And that's just the way
it goes.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
This little pink, she can come up, she can join,
you can join, just wants to come to see.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
That's Mom's over there giving it the big eagle eye
saying let let's see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Let's this will be very interesting to see how this words.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What what a CUTEI all right, since she's here and
so adorable, and you talked about her the first night
you were here, you know, I got to get my
family here, and there was a mention of a cat, also.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
A cat and two dogs and got too too much
hair in our house.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well that's can't help you with that.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
But has and so has everybody made it all the
four legged people are also the whole our whole clan
is here.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Okay, very good. So she's what is she too?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
She's almost two?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah, she's a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So let's talk about since she is so adorable, the
two of you do very good work. How she changed
your life and your outlook on life.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
It's just put a lot of things into perspective about
like what's really important. Like football is just a small part,
but it's really not the end all be all. Family
is second most important in front of after faith. But
I feel like she just put a lot of those
things into perspective, and you know, it makes you makes
you want to be a better person, better father, better husband,
(18:27):
and just make sure that she has all the tools
that she needs to be successful when whenever she grows up,
but she can doesn't need to grow up too fast.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Just.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
As a dad. Let me just tell you it's gonna
be way faster than you are. Very active child. This
is this is this is very very positive, and she
will keep you on your toes.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah. I joked with the guys when I was in Synci.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I was like, I come here, I practice and I
work out, and then I go home and I'm still
doing it because I'm chasing her around.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And that's more exhausting. You can't reason with her, like, you.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Know, she doesn't always listen, Hey, what happens?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Girls are for? Oh I'm shutting up now so much?
Have I should say?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
What's dad like? Life?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Dad life like?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Honestly, it's it's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
It's the best, you know, in terms of like the
whole perspective thing about football, Like she doesn't care if
I if we want her loss, Like I come home
and she's.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Excited for Dad to be home. And you know, I
love I love that aspect.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Of it, just being able to come home to her
smiling face.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So it's been it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I remember when Dad Prescott had his babies and he
was talking about that in strength.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
He didn't have them, you know what I mean, I oh,
my goodness. He he did none of the work.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
He did it, he did it.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
But when they had their babies, talk about you know,
the inner Dad's strength that you found when you did
have yours.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Yeah. Yeah, it It's funny because you don't realize how
well you can function on limited sleep. And so like
when I was, you know, the first because we had
her in March, so it was like in the middle
of off season. You know, I was going to work
out and it was like running on four hours of sleep,
and I was still lifting more than I had, you know,
the weeks prior. And so it's just like, how do
you You just don't realize what you can, what you're
(20:19):
capable of.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
And so I'm like, that's that is definitely dad strength
to a tea.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, all right, it's real.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
So let's just talk a little bit about because people
here don't follow the Bengals, right, Let's talk a little
bit about the years you had there, because they were
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You were a third round pick, you were a captain, you.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Had led in every kind there's I don't like to
drown people in statistics, but there are some very impressive
ones attached to your name, and clearly a leadership role
was something that came natural to you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It just seems that way. So we're are you surprised
that things started to go bad?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I mean two three years in when you're starting and
you're playing all the time and you're playing, well, you
probably think I'm a Bengel.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean I I truly thought I was going
to retire in.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
In Sincy, and that's just kind of that's not somehow
sometimes this league is has that business aspect that just
it comes into play whether or.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Not you want it to happen or not.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
And so.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
That's kind of what came in in in Sincy. And
you know, I enjoyed my time there and obviously very
thankful for the organization for taking a chance on me
there because I probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to
you guys if they if they didn't, and so.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure if you were with the Bengals,
you would not be sitting here talking about So I
think that's probably a safe thing to say. And for
the for the audience who is not watching, streaming or
here with us. You're listening and from time to time,
Logan says, Hi, he's not being extradized to us as
his daughter is just making herself available. Dad, just checking in,
(22:09):
making sure, making sure you're still here. The leadership role.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Natural for you.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
Did that?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Just is that always something that you've kind of just
that's who you are.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
I've always been like a leader by example. I've always
tried to do the little things the right way. I've
never been the the raw, raw like get you motivated
kind of leader.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
That's just not how I was.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
And so I've always tried to just do those little
things the right way because those are what end up
being the big thing or making up the big things,
whether that's in football or life or whatever they are.
And so, you know, having seen a lot of football too,
you know, I think I can there's a lot of
things that I can do to help younger guys around me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Excuse me, just.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So you know, in my life, no one ever looked
at me the way that little girl just looked at
you for about five seconds.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I mean, is he wrapped around her little finger already? Yeah? Okay,
so that's over. Yeah, sorry, literally a go ahead.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So I was struck by something you said the night
of the your first press conference here, and your head
coach in Cincinnati has echoed it that for whatever reason
you besides injuries, you had some knee problems this year
a little bit, but for whatever reason your snaps decreased.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's that's really neither here nor there.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
But you were very outspoken about saying, yeah, but I'm
going your The words you used were I'm going to
keep pouring into our young linebackers and do everything I
can to help them get better. And every guy who
sees his playing time diminished in in various sports that
doesn't always have that attitude.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I got to pull the curtain back
just so those of you can't see.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
So we have these three cameras set up on tripods
for Dallas Cowboys dot com and this very active princess
she is roaming and she was just about to see
if I pull on this one, what will happen? And
her mother set a new Land speed record for the
(24:30):
fifteen yard sprint to get there and make sure nothing happened.
This is parenthood. And here's the bad news. When's in
about fifteen years. The problems only change, they don't get easier,
they don't go away.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Sorry, I digress.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I might tackle that one in fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, Well, just one at a time, one at a time.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
A lot of guys who's playing time diminishes for whatever reason,
are not really interested in helping the younger guy who
may be trying to take their job.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That was never your approach.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Why, That's just not how I was raised, and it's
not I've had plenty of people that have poured into
me to help me get to where I'm at, and
I think that that's the right thing to do.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
And the legacy and the impact that you can have
on people is far more important.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Than keeping everything you know to yourself. You know, the
instances when I was in college, I had a senior
that took me under his wing and helped me out,
help me figure out how to how to do everything.
And then when I got to the NFL, I had
another veteran linebacker that had been in the league I
think eight years at the time, and so he seen
a lot of Josh Binds his name, had seen and
(25:38):
played a lot of football and did everything he could
to help me. And he was on a one year deal.
He knew what his role was, but like I always
appreciated that about him. You know, another guy, Sam Hubbard
taught me everything to how to take care of my
body outside of the facility and all those different things.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Hub Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
But the impact that those guys have all had on me, Like,
that's that's.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
What I want to be for other guys, is I
want to give them the tools that they need and
have to be successful in this league, because that's that's
more important than anything else.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
This is what I hope people can appreciate.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
So you have things to teach de marve on Overshow,
who's clearly I'm sure you figured out he's pretty gifted.
But you have experience and you have leadership qualities refined
by time, and you have those things to teach it.
(26:32):
But he knows here and he knows he knows the
defense the coaches. So are you teaching each other and
I'm just using him as.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Well as example.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Yeah, I feel like we're all teaching each other and
I'm learning from them, especially because they've been in the
system this whole year. Just trying to anything that you know,
f I see thing something a certain way, especially like.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Even Schamar another rookie you know in the room and JB.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Both those guys like sometimes asked me questions, you know,
like while we're in the back and the other guys
are out doing the walk through, They'll ask me a
question while we're out there watching the walk through, not
getting a rep, but trying to get a mental rep
of the repetition. So just any way that I can
help those those guys like that's that's what I.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Want to be, aside from being that veteran presence that
a lot of these younger guys can learn from. What
was the other role that you know, Shoddy kind of
talked to you about when you have that conversation obviously
you were coming to the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, we didn't really have that much of a conversation
about what my specific role was going to be.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I kind of assumed it.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You know, you're you're in year six, you get traded
mid season, that you're that you have that veteran presence
in a locker room that you know. I came in
and I was the oldest guy in the in the
room literally, and so I mean Cannine had played as
we were both in the same draft class, but in
terms of actual physical age, like I am older and
so being that older guy like you know, I just
(27:58):
want to be that mature guy that they can can
ask questions and if they need help with anything, Like
I want to be an open book.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Okay, I don't want us to get behind us.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
We're going to take our next break, and then I
really do want to get to that language thing, terminology
and how you learn how to how you learn how
to speak cowboy when you've been speaking Bengal for for
all these years. We are at sidecar Social on the
Midller like Cowboys Hour. We are in the Star District

Speaker 9 (29:52):
How was don't cowards?
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Ms?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Okay to the miller Like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Welcome Back to the Miller Like Cowboys our brand, Sham
and Nicole Hutchinson. We are at Sidecar Social the Star
District in Frisco with Cowboys linebacker Logan Wilson, our very
special guest this evening.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Make him feel welcome, please, And this is our regular
Monday night home and we.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Will be here actually every Monday night for the rest
of the season, including the Monday night before Christmas, even
though forty eight hours after that the Cowboys will be.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
On airplane and go to Washington. Merry Christmas, no, I
mean May Christmas. Really, let me ask you this as
a veteran player.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Three teams Dallas, Kansas City, and Detroit are playing on
both Thanksgiving and Christmas, which means it's not the holiday
aspect of it that bothers me that much, but.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
The short week within a month.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
To do that as a especially veteran players, to do
that twice in a month, that seems wrong. That just
seems really wrong to ask of you guys to do.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
I would agree, Well, I think we just came off
a window was like four games in eighteen days.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, have you ever done that before? No, how do
you feel.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I mean, I feel okay, you know, I haven't been
playing the whole game, so which is that helps that aspect,
But I think it is hard on the body when
those especially late in the year, when you get those
Thursday night games, Like whenever the season comes out, you
want the Thursday night game to be earlier in the
year so you can just knock it out. That was
on were and since you hear there's a lot more
(33:30):
games on primetime versus in Cincinnati, and so.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You get used to that.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Yeah. Yeah, the Christmas thing will be weird because we're
away too, so like we'll have to leave on Christmas
Eve and be gone on Christmas and with a little
one at home.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That kind of sucks.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yah.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
I was hoping we'd be at least home, you know,
to be able to be home in some aspect.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
But you know, we'll adapt to it.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
How much does your recovery change when you're having to
play in those short weeks compared to obviously a regular
NFL Sunday week.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
Yeah, truly, it depends how beat up you get the
week the game prior.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
That's a that's a big thing.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
So if you can make it through that game like
unscathed in a sense that helps with the recovery aspect.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
But you're pretty much just jam packing everything you would.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
And well, especially on a even a shorter week, when
you're leaving Wednesday, really like you're off the field work
that you get, you got to jam pack it in
Monday Tuesday. So it's like you got two days versus
you got if it's a normal week, you got Monday
and Tuesday, and then you practice Wednesday Thursday. But then
Friday is a half day, so you get that. You
got Friday, you can do stuff. You got Saturday, you
can do stuff. Yeah, you know. And so when you're
(34:33):
traveling on Wednesday, like you don't really have that Wednesday,
and then you play Thursday and you can't really you're
not gonna bring people all that to Washington. So it's
just it's everything's condensed.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well, the good news about the Christmas game is it's
the first game of the day, so we should be
back by eight a. Yeah, eight nights. So just keep
her up, mob, that's no problem, is it for you?
Just keep her up or wake her up about seven
thirty so she's ready to go.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
I think we're not going to bed until midnight.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, but it's Christmas. You know, you don't want to
go to bed at night. Okay, let's I'm interested in
this in the language.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
First of all, is there any similarity between the scheme
that Matta Eberflus plays and and and you had a
coordinator change in Cincinnati anyway this year, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yes? Yeah, all right, so let's go back to that.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
How how different was was uh the scheme you played
before to what they're playing now in Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Yeah, there was the big There was a lot of
things that we had done and then there were some
things we hadn't done. So really, more than anything, like
when you're learning a new a new system, you just
try to like because even coming here there there's all
things that I've done before. It's just connecting the words
the terminology in terms of what it's called here. You know,
(35:51):
like I've played a certain coverage in Cincinnati that was.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Called this, but here it's called this where we play
it the same way.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
And then there's sometimes there's covered is that you haven't
played in a while, but they call it something.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
There's just you got to balance all all of that.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Can you say, like the name of the cover is
you're not given anyway, given away any state secret. Sorry
if you say in Cincinnati you played it coverage that
was called.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Oh yeah, I mean you could like there's a the
general term for like a three match defense is like jade, Like.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
People played jade and what do they call it here?
It's called fifty nine here and.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So oh so you went from from like colors to numbers.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
But like even in Sincy with this the last coordinator,
with Al Golden the coordinator, everything was like in its
own bucket. And so there was like you know, there
was NBA teams, there was MLB teams.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
There was there's all sorts of so it's yeah it
I remember during Ota is actually this year I spent
like two and a half two hours a night just
trying to figure out everything. And I'm just like Jesus,
is this is insane?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I mean you have to no, wait, it's not that
because that's the NBA team terminology, right, this is it's
this because that's a baseball terminal.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
That's what it tells you.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
And this is called tiger.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
This type of it's like this type of pressure or
it's this type of of coverage.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Like there's different.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
You definitely have to be able to compartmentalize things with
where how you put it and how you learn it,
because it's not it's.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Definitely not easy.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
And then you got that down and now you come here,
and now let's forget all of that because the same
thing now has a number value.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Right Yeah, I think I think why it just went out.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Your headset just went out.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
It's here you sound We're good, Okay, good. Yeah, you're
basically trying like I was just saying earlier, you have
to connect those those whatever it is. Like in this scheme,
it was this and this is how I learned it,
But here it's called this and this is how we're
gonna That's how I just needed.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
To learn it. You're basically relearning the same thing, but
in a new term.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
The Logan Wilson film session, learning the new terminology for you, like.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Understanding what the honestly it was when I first got here,
Like my linebacker's coach gave me six base coverages that
were pretty much gonna be in every single game plan.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Because he wanted to get the gist of like what
we were running here.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
And then as we've gone along, like there's been all
the little nuances, there's been the all the other coverages
outside of those main.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Six that we were running. And so that's kind of
how I was how I learned it was.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
I spent a couple you know, I spent time with
him extra time to make sure that I was good
on those six coverages.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
And then.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Basically how they have everything categorized here, just understanding like
when it's called this, like this is the pressure we're running,
linebackers are going in this cover you know, just all
those different things.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
It's just kind of detail, very very detail, Rey and all.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
That's great, But you're the middle linebacker.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
Yeah, so when you're in the game, you got the
green dot, you're hearing the play be set.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
In and you got to make the call.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Not only do you have to learn it, you now
have to run it right.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Yeah, we'll have fun.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean is that one of the most
challenging things you've had to do.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Yeah, because it's like, I mean, you're the quarterback of
the defense. It's not like it's it's different versus you know,
having a a D lineman come in because they know
that they're playing three technique, you know what I mean,
Like if they can figure out they're playing three technique
versus in this front, like it's still a three technique versus.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
I got to know what the safeties are.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
Doing, what the D line's doing, and then make sure
the communications all the same and we're all on the
same page because that's the most important thing.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
And so that stuff just takes it takes time.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
When did you start feeling comfortable with everything next year?
Are you still not?
Speaker 6 (39:45):
It just depends on the call, honestly, Like, I mean,
there's some lot of the calls I've ran the most,
like I feel the most comfortable with, but the calls
I'd run the least like it just, yeah, is the
more the more you run something, the more you do anything,
the more comfortable you get it.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And you're still and you're splitting snaps, and I know,
sitting up there, you know I'm played by play.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
I'm watching the ball. But but I know that we're
not going to see Logan Wilson till next year.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
I mean, you won't really be able to turn it
loose and feel comfortable till next year, will you.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
I don't know. I'm not, I'm not. I'm not worried
about that.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
I just worried about right now trying to find a
way to beat the Vikings on Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Good answer, very good answer. Okay, here's another thing that
I learned. The tell me that your high school nickname
again the best.
Speaker 7 (40:33):
I mean the name of the school Latrona County.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Uh, this man was, I believe all you'll correct me
all conference kicker, State, all state, Thank you very much,
all state kicker.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Okay, does Aubrey know that you're breathing down his neck?
Speaker 9 (40:50):
No?
Speaker 6 (40:51):
But I funny, I was actually in Cyincia. I was
actually the like the game day emergency backup kicker for
Evan McPherson.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
One of the things that I have learned through the
years is people automatically think that the putter is the
backup kicker. And that's so rarely true because putters, putters
don't place kick.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Once upon a time maybe, but that's not how I
don't think. I don't think Brian Anger is the backup kicker.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
I don't know who was the backup.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Well, it might be you, now, Boby.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
It could be they know that they know they know
your back certainly right, they know your background, so they
know you.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
I assume they would know. I don't I mean I
assume they know it from to high school, but I
don't know that for certain.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
I can't guarantee that.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
What what was your range? What was your field goal range?
Speaker 3 (41:38):
The longest I made in a game was a fifty
three yarder?
Speaker 6 (41:41):
Wow, and then I kicked a sixty in but it
was just like it didn't count for it's just in
practice on.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
The side, like my own practice.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
Okay, so I've made a sixty yarder before, just not
any accounted.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I mean, if you talked to Aubrey about that.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Hey, he's doing very good job. But he keep him
alone and let him do it.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yes, but he's younger. He's a little younger than you.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
I mean he's he didn't come in as a twenty
year old rookie, but he's a little younger.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
You know, you could say, hey, just not I'm not
trying to get in your business, but just so you know,
if you need any help, he would.
Speaker 6 (42:14):
Need to help me.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
What was your thoughts on What was your thoughts on
Brandon Aubrey when you saw how successful he was as
a kicker when you.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
Got here, Well, I didn't, I knew he was really good.
Speaker 6 (42:26):
And then you know, being in since he Evan was
really good too, so having good kickers is very important.
But I think I saw some stats like after this
this last game. I mean, he set like three NFL
records for one in this last game, and then there
was like the fantasy stat about he's like if you
put him at at quarterback, he's like quarterback twenty two
(42:47):
or like running based on the amount of points he's
scored because he kicked so many long field goals and
he's been so accurate, and you know that's just a
credit to the work that he's put in.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
But he's obviously very good at his job.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Yeah, nobody had ever kicked three fifty five or more
yardfield goals in one game.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Seems a little crazy, but we tend to expect that
of him.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Now.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Yes, it's a headline when he misses, will take our
last break.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
We're getting to know Logan Wilson, the Cowboys new linebacker,
and his beautiful family. We are very happy to have
them here and we will be right back at side.

Logan Wilson, who, along with his teammates, will play a
game stop the Presses on a Sunday this coming week.
The last time that happened was in October. Think about that.
(46:53):
Back to back Mondays. Oh no, wait, no, Philadelphia was
a Sunday. Philadelphia was a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Well that's one. It was one though, just thrown in
there to confuse everybody. But you were right about the
prime time stuff. So, uh, you go ahead and talk.
I'm not going to steal this from you.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
You know, I was talking about your podcast.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
What brought that?
Speaker 5 (47:14):
About the Wilson Family Playbook?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
That would be my wife's idea.
Speaker 6 (47:19):
She thought it would be a good idea to just
she's always wanted to start a podcast and just you know,
give people insight into how we live our lives and
the things that that we go through. Because we've had
a lot of people that have been close to us
and have reached out about wanting to know more just
and so we thought it was a good idea to
start a podcast, and.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
You know, we give fans an opportunity to.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
Basically she asked a question like at the end of
the podcast episode. We gave up fans an opportunity that
will on Instagram, you know, let them fill out a
question box and they can ask questions and we'll answer
some at the end of our podcast episode.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
So, Morgan is their name?
Speaker 6 (47:58):
Your wife's name?
Speaker 5 (47:58):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
So first of all, just so you know, during the break,
because Nicole told me I heard you talking. You said
you were going to try to maybe record an episode tomorrow.
So I went to Morgan and I said, listen, if
you want to practice, if you want to do this
last segment.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I'm good. I don't have to do it.
Speaker 4 (48:17):
And Morgan said she really doesn't like talking where people
can watch her.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
But she likes the podcast, but she can just talk
to her.
Speaker 6 (48:25):
Yeah, it's easy. It really is chill if you do
like podcasts.
Speaker 4 (48:29):
I so wish if we had more time, because I
even can do anything. I would hook up another microphone
because I would love to hear you talk about why
you thought it was a great idea to let the
world in on how your family functions, it lives its life.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
But I don't have that, So you're off the hook
for right now. But we'll tune in tomorrow's episode and
see where did you meet the two of you?
Speaker 6 (48:55):
Where?
Speaker 3 (48:56):
Yes, at the University of Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
And are you both Wyoming kids?
Speaker 7 (49:00):
She's from Colorado, but I'm from Wyoming.
Speaker 6 (49:02):
And then we met at the University of Wyoming.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
And and the rest is history, history in the making,
in the making. Okay, we've got a couple of questions
from our audience. Let's go right here.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
Good eating Logan.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Hello, my name is Rambo.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
That's a nice name.
Speaker 6 (49:18):
Oh, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
And he lets you know. So you're moved from Cincinnati
to Dallas.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
What has been the biggest, uh, most notable thing that
you've noticed between the Cincinnati Bengals fan base and the
Dallas Cowboy fan base.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
And they can't hear you in Cincinnati right now.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
That's a ah man.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
He's probably not been here long enough, Rambo ill.
Speaker 3 (49:47):
I am still figuring it out. I feel like.
Speaker 6 (49:51):
Gosh, I don't know how to how to compare him yet, honestly,
just because I was there for so long, like I
saw a lot of different days of the ebbs and
flows of the season, and I've only been here for
so long and we've trying to think we've played what
two home games? We won both of them. So fans
are pretty good for the most part. You know when
you're winning, and.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
You had some really good years in Cincinnati, right, But.
Speaker 7 (50:12):
The down years are or when fans are not very happy,
and that's that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't have an exact answer
for you. That's a tough question.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
I have them on again next year. We can check
back in. But here's the real question.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Have you had Are you a fan of Cincinnati CHILIU?
Speaker 5 (50:31):
No, they're known for Chile and Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Oh it's not really.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
They call it chili, but it's not to me.
Speaker 6 (50:39):
I grew up in in like Wyowming obviously, but it's
like chili's a hearty, like thick, like what's.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
In your chili when you when you want chili? What
what are the ingredients that don't show up in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (50:55):
Well, so in Cincinnati it's chili. Their chili is like
more of a sauce, like they throw it.
Speaker 6 (51:00):
On like spaghetti or hot dogs or things like that,
and so and it has like they think they have,
like I think it's a brown sugar that it's got
a little sweetness to it.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
Is there some chocolate in it?
Speaker 6 (51:10):
I don't know. I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
I never went got it like fresh O losing me with.
Speaker 4 (51:16):
I know, I'm I'm just I've never You don't know
about Cincinnati, yeah, not even with Well she came from here,
go just she came from Houston, so we're bringing her along.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
That's okay.
Speaker 6 (51:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
She's not missing out on un much.
Speaker 7 (51:34):
Okay, Okay, here we go, Logan, how's it going good?
Speaker 4 (51:39):
Good?
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Going back to your high school?
Speaker 4 (51:42):
The principal that's there now, I don't know if it's
the same principle I was there back then.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
But I noticed that his last name is the same
as yours. Are you related, Wilson.
Speaker 3 (51:53):
No, we're not related.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
How do you possibly know the name of the principle
of his high school?
Speaker 3 (52:00):
I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
You really you really need a hobby. This might be
your hobby. This is this is your hobby. Okay, uh, well,
there there went.
Speaker 4 (52:12):
But you could have you could have made up a
story right then about cousin Aaron, was it?
Speaker 2 (52:18):
But but not to be Okay, what other sports did
you play?
Speaker 6 (52:26):
So I played football, and then in the winter sport
I played basketball, and then in the spring I ran track.
Why football?
Speaker 5 (52:33):
Why'd you end up going with football?
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Might?
Speaker 6 (52:37):
I mean, if I didn't play football, I would have
ran track. But I think football was like the sport
that you had like a lim a finite amount of
time to play and so.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Understanding, uh like that that it was going to come
to an end sooner rather than later. And I and
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 6 (52:54):
And it was honestly the only offer that I had
was a full right scholarship, so I was able to
get my school paid for.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
Is the reason as well?
Speaker 4 (53:02):
Love that So when you before two years ago, when
you're not playing, what's what's your downtime?
Speaker 2 (53:10):
Like, what are you doing? Because I know what you're
doing with your downtime now.
Speaker 6 (53:13):
Yeah, in my downtime, my wife is a she's a
big foodie, so we would go we'd go.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
Find some spots and since to go eat.
Speaker 6 (53:22):
And then you know, if I was at home like
a big I like to play video games. You know,
it's a way for me to kind of stay in
touch with some of my friends from college and high
school and and so that's kind of what I do
in my free time.
Speaker 5 (53:35):
Favorite food spots so far here in Dallas, I got
a chance to be out.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
To dinner yet.
Speaker 3 (53:41):
Uh, you know it's funny.
Speaker 6 (53:42):
Was we've been out a couple of times, and I
mean we love True Food Kitchen. There's I don't even
know the name of the restaurant. It's a Mediterranean spot
that we've been to a couple of times. Darna Darla.
It's over right by a True Food. Yeah, it's a
it's a it's a really good Mediterranean spot that we've
(54:03):
been to a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
And then.
Speaker 6 (54:06):
Trying to think there's anywhere else we've really been. What's
the there's a spot right right in the Star that
we went went to, the Italian spot.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
Spot here in the start. Yeah, I mean there's a
lot of really yeah, it's like.
Speaker 5 (54:21):
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (54:22):
A lot.
Speaker 2 (54:25):
That you will if you're a foodie. Are you a foodie?
Speaker 6 (54:31):
I am because she is?
Speaker 2 (54:32):
Because she is.
Speaker 4 (54:33):
Uh, once you kind of you're get your feet settled,
and especially in the off season, for whatever time you're
around between Dallas and Fort Worth and places in between,
you could.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
You'll it's a full time job finding all the great
spots to eat, She'll find them.
Speaker 4 (54:59):
Did the the experience in Cincinnati this year do anything
to dim your love of the game, Uh.
Speaker 6 (55:08):
It does, It does a little bit. I feel like
it's just, you know, when you're getting the further into
your career you get, the the more you realize that
there's there might not be much, you know, time left
to play in this league, and so you just kind
of enjoy it while you can and and make the
most of it.
Speaker 5 (55:25):
How much did your wife play a role in keeping
your spirits up.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
A lot?
Speaker 6 (55:30):
You know, it's it's uh, it's it's not easy to
go through that, that benching, and but I feel like
I've always had a good perspective on what's most important
in life, and so you just kind of take it
on the chain.
Speaker 3 (55:43):
And control the control goles and and move on from it.
And so that's kind of what I've done.
Speaker 4 (55:49):
And it's unfair to ask you this and a little
bit of time, especially that we have left, but the
culture is clearly different. Team on a little bit of
a heater there for a minute, and you're you're not
even playing all the time yet, But do you feel
any of that coming back, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, this is what I love. This is what I
This is why I like the game so much.
Speaker 6 (56:13):
Yeah, it's hard to get a full I mean, you're
when you're playing this. I'm not playing a ton right now,
So just trying to like enjoy it while I'm in there.
And like I said earlier, just about controlling the controllables.
You know, I can't control how much how much I play,
but I can control what I do while I'm in there,
and so that's kind of what I'm focused on. All right.
Speaker 4 (56:32):
Well, we are delighted to have you here, and I've
seen enough of this to know we're we haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
Logan Wilson yet, but we're gonna, we're gonna. We're really
happy to have you here. Thanks for bringing your family
out tonight.
Speaker 3 (56:43):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (56:44):

Speaker 6 (56:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Sorry, Family Playthide.
Speaker 2 (56:49):
