Speaker 2 (00:50):
Bradsham, Welcome, everybody, Welcome, Thank you for coming out here

Christmas shopping and dropping into Sidecar Social in the Star
District in Frisco.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
After this pout until next year.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Next well, yes, next year, next calendar year, next football year.
But that's for next week. We are delighted to be
here tonight. By applause, everybody who came out to join
us at Sidecar Social tonight who has finished their Christmas shopping.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
That's not best most people.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Okay, maybe maybe, Okay, Well, we're very happy to have
you here. A very short week for the Cowboys, obviously,
turning around and getting on an airplane day after tomorrow
and going to Washington to spend Christmas in Maryland, not
quite the nation's capital. Well actually we'll be hoteling in
the nation's capital. So the Christmas game against the Commanders,
(01:57):
and we are just delighted. I am a specially delighted
and personally excited to have one of my favorite Cowboys
long snapper Trent Sig with us, and I thank you
for coming out and doing this. Of course, appreciate that
pleasure to be here so much to discuss, and we
will as always thank all of you who have come
(02:17):
out to be with us at the Star District in Frisco,

or wherever you are.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
On Dallascowboys dot Com.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Y'all how y'all doing, Thanks, thanks for doing this So
the Cowboys, of course, I had to have a walkthrough
today because it's Thursday, and this is the same thing
that obtains on Thanksgiving Week, and we don't do a
show on Thanksgiving Week because it's a ridiculously short week.
And why are we doing one tonight because I couldn't
(02:53):
talk them into giving us two days off, so we're
here to do this one. And it's really it's it's
very generous of any player to come out on a
Thursday night before a game and do this, So Trent,
I'm really grateful. And I must acknowledge our our regulars
(03:16):
who sit at the table over here to our left,
who after a win. This is the victory Monday Club, okay.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
But tonight it is the diehard fan Club for look
Ahead two year, twenty twenty six. I give you a
round of applause. Way to go, you guys.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Does the name change week to week?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Then you know they're very creative, don't dare them? However,
that does that does give us an on ramp into
one of the things I think that's potentially difficult.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Or not depending on your attitude.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
When you're when you're a team sport athlete and there
are games left to play, but you know you're not
going to be in the postseason. Some people find some
some players find that harder to find motivation. Others say,
to my job, I'm going to go do it. What's
what's your take, because you've you've had it both ways.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Unfortunately I have had it both ways. But yes, it
it's definitely like you said, it's your job.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
But to me, there's just a lot of pride.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
And going out and doing your job the right way.
And you, like, you're still always going out there putting
stuff on film, and we got to this level because
we're competitors, you know, And whenever you go out there,
you want to beat the guy across from you, no
matter what the score is, no matter no matter where
the season's at. Like you just you never want to
look bad, you know, and you want to go out
(04:44):
there and perform themost of your ability. And and another
kind of sad part of this business is you never
know when it's going to be the last snap, and
you don't want to give anyone an opportunity to think that, and.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
When you know that the season is coming to an end.
And also just every year in the NFL, teams turn
over twenty five percent. But in your group, well you
you and Brian Anger are under contract for next year. Yes,
and the kicker will be at some point very soon, I.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Hope, yes, fingers crossing.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, And I really thought that was kind of critical
for keeping him by getting YouTube under contract, because you're
his comfort zone. But when when you know it's coming
down and the group that you're playing with is going
to change, how much does that motivate you to, Hey,
(05:41):
let's just do this. This is the last time we
are going to do it together for sure.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Yeah, there's definitely some of that and kind of venturing
out into the unknown, you know where, like you said,
you don't necessarily know who's going to be back next year.
You don't you don't know if someone's going to retire.
You don't know if there's going to be a surprise
trade or somebody get cut and something happened during training
camp or injuries. So there is a lot of like,
a these are my brothers. We've worked in blood and
(06:08):
sweat and cried together over the last year, and like,
and I think something that this team really has it's
just a crazy amount of camaraderie in that locker room
and just it's a really good culture and a testament
to Shoddy for helping to build it.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
And there's just you want to play for the man
next to you, you know, and you always want to
go out on a win.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
And just like I said, we're competitors and do whatever
we can for our brothers.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
All of you guys seem to be really close, right,
that's the culture that Shady has really built for this organization.
But talk about what's been the message from you and
some of the older guys on this team to make sure, Hey,
these guys are still locked in and yeah, what's been
kind of the message for those guys.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yeah, And I think the main thing is just we
have our job. This is how we go about it,
like we nothing changes from day to day for us,
like other than the week being really short, But it's
still the same approach. It's still game prep. It's still
got gotta be on your assignments and know what to
expect out of it. Like just because we're out of
(07:10):
the playoffs, doesn't mean the other team's.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Not going to play either. Like there's even like a
matter of safety of it.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
If you're not out there and doing things the right way,
like you can put your your your own health jeopardy
and your teammates health and jeopardy, So there is definitely
a responsibility to going out there and giving everything you're
all have.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
You since maybe it's a little bit of extra emotion
from some of the guys who may not be there
next year at all, if it's a great a share.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah, I'm just trying to think because really that we
didn't weren't officially eliminated until this weekend, and we haven't
and just everything's so fast for the Thursday game, there
isn't a whole.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Lot of them.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Is that a blessing by the way this week?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yes, and no, it is kind of nice to just
flush the game and and move on. And the hard
part is, like it was a cool game against the Chargers,
we got some guys banged up and just recovering for
that Thursday.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Game is tough.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
But there's definitely a little bit more more. It's solemn
the working word I'm looking for in the locker room
after Sunday night. It just kind of like, dang, you know,
we really want to make that push, and especially after
everything we've been through this year and the runs that
(08:28):
we've been on both up and down and marsha on
and is just just.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
A lot that this team's gone through together.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
So, like you said, there's there's a little bit of
sadness of thing.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
We left a little bit on the table, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
All Right, I'm gonna ask you a question that if
we weren't friends, would sound really really rude. Okay, players,
most players that I've talked to, I talked to your
quarterback today.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
He would be in the group.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Once they've played more than a year or two. They
all say, Hey, I don't feel human till Thursday. Really,
the body just takes such a pounding and and and
I asked him today, how dak how? I said, how
are you feeling? He said, and I said, how do you?
How do you get your brain to get your body
(09:18):
to shut up when it's Monday, except it's Thursday and
thursdays when you feel good? But you don't feel good yet?
And he was talking about, Yes, that's a thing that did.
So you and Brian Anger and Brandon Aubrey will conclude
him in this too.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
You tended most of the time that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Could be a little different for you on punts, Uh,
most of the you'll get a little less banged up
than some other guys.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
That's that's I won't insult you by saying that I'm
well aware.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I like that part.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, well, i'll bet you do. I'll bet you do. So, So,
how sore.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Are you normally after a game and how sore are
you today knowing that you've got.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Your next games in three days?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
So really the part of me that really gets sorees
my hamstrings hips like into my lower back just being
down in my snapping position, and I probably snap eighty
to one hundred balls on game day, just kind of
depending on how many possessions we get, how how many
balls Brian and Brandon want to hit during pregame. Fortunately
they don't take too many, but I like whenever they're kicking,
I like to be snapping to them. So I don't
(10:29):
really have a ton of the like physical impact, but
there is definitely some fatigue, and it's probably more reset
of the nervous system that I need to do to
where like usually when I come back and practice on Wednesday,
my body is not as explosive as it is on Sunday.
So just getting to that point where everything's firing and
the timing of the timing of my snap body wise
(10:52):
that everything's coming out. I usually feel good on like,
feel better on Thursday essentially, and then like and kind
of dial it back down the next couple of days
and Sunday field pretty good.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
But like I said, I start to feel better on Thursday,
and so it's Thursday.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
How are you feeling?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Right, So there's I'm looking at the clock because there's
a subject I want to get into with you that
will take more than about the minute or so that
we've got left.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But the the we Nicole and I.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Talked to players all the time who have routines about
you were talking about your back and your hips, and
guys use acupuncture and massages and all kinds of different things,
and that part of your job is something I bet
people never think about the beating that your back and
hamstrings could take. Do you have a routine? You have
(11:46):
a physical rehab routine that you like?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, the team's done
a really good job of having some good chiropractors around.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
And shout out doctor Fred Kaster.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah for doctor for a doctor Fryar do a
great job. So I could go into.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Them virtually on a daily basis and get worked down there,
and then I like Mondays and Tuesdays. I have a
cupping and needling routine that I go through and I
haven't done it as much this year because I'm trying
to keep my daughter alive or I try to help
my wife with the kids a.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Little bit more.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
But and this is this is the six month old.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Yes, this is yeah that and just we haven't really
had a regular week, so I haven't been on the
rate regular routine. Usually I'd get needles done on Monday.
I get like seventy needles put through my posterior chain.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Typically, but we just have.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
We just haven't had like a full time to reset
because usually when I come back on Wednesday, I'm still
pretty sore from the needling. Then the body feels good,
but just need to be able to feel good enough
to practice.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well, I've been doing this for a very long time,
and you are the first person who has ever discussed
having seventy needles in their posterior chain. And we're not
going to let it off the hook with that. We're
going to pursue that we are on the middle like
Cowboys Hour.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
It's the Felice.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Navi DoD edition right, look at you.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I lived in Puerto Rico for two you never have.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It is the absolute happy you know, I want to
thought police Navi Dodd would have gotten a little something.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Huh. Again.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We're at Sidecar Social the Star District in Frisco on
the middle like Cowboys Hour with our special guest, Cowboys
long snapper Trent Sig and we're brought.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
To you by Albertson's.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
A great name for a rock band. The posterior chain.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
We'll be right backs.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
No cowbaw was No Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
To the Miller Lite Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Welcome Back to the Cowboys Hour at Sidecar Socials the
Star District in Trispo.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Merry Christmas. Everybody will wish you a Merry.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Christmas again on the Cowboys Radio Network on Thursday when
the Cowboys play in Washington at noon Central Time. And
so today for our guest long snapper Trent sig is Thursday,
and he's he's going to be trying to tell his
body for the next twenty four hours that it is
not the day that you think it is.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Body.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But Nicole and I were discussing Trent during our break
just there that neither of us has ever contemplated asking someone,
probably paying someone to approach us with seventy needles to
insert into our posterior chain. And I'm not even sure
I want to know what that is, but yes I do.
(17:52):
Where does that so you're talking about from you in
your back and how high up your back does that start?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Yeah, So I usually go like up into my my traps,
into them. You're really testing my muscle knowledge now, but
like pretty much traps, I'll go down my triceps and
into my fore arms because really that's like my elbow.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Elbow care has been a big part.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Like there was a couple of years there where my
I'd get a lot of fatigue and soreness by the
end of the year. That makes sense, kind of like
tennis elbow and so kind of down through there and
then just pretty much all the way down down glutes,
hammies and I don't do don't do calves, because that
hurts too bad.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
But uh yeah, just the needles hurt the caves.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Yeah, the because when you needle, or the way I
do the needling, it makes the muscle spasm a little bit.
And if you ever had a calf cramp, it's essentially that, yes,
forcing that calf cramp. And so no, thank you very
The only one that I think has looked worse is
some people will do it in the bottom of their feet.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
No no, no, no no no no no no no no,
not going to do that one anytime.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
But does it hurt in your back or in your
a little bit?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
It's it's just like for second and then the spousand
goes away, and it's it's really the main thing that
I tell the guys like I have seen definite results
from the needling, where yes, I'm sore the next day,
but once you work out that soreness, I feel great.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
So how long do you typically keep the needles in?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Like tenish minutes, five to ten minutes.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Ten minutes with a needle, I want no part.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
But then but then you and I don't do for
a living.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
It gives me some quiet time away from the kids, honestly,
so I accept.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
It Yeah, I want to go back to your soreness.
Do you ever get sore like in a game at all?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, Like I was saying, my elbow will sometimes.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
But really, since I've got onto this routine of the
needles and kind of found a good warm up routine
for it, it hasn't been much of an issue that and
I found a good mix of staying warm and sitting
down on the sideline to where I don't get too sore.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
But every now and.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Then there's a really long drive, We'll usually sit while
the while the defenses on the field, and I'll stand
up and move around with offenses out there. But if
there's a drive that lasts a little bit longer, or
there's a big quarter quarter change and some injury timeouts,
then start to get stiffen up a little bit. But
I want to say necessarily sore at that point.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Okay, So we all who who watched the team play
marvel at at Brandon Aubrey's consistency.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
It's just ridiculous that he does what he does.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
It's hard not to yeah, with with with such apparent
ease and regularity, and and I always think that, but
you're not paying attention to the long.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Snapper, which is good.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Uh, well I had when's the last time you had
a bad snap?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Huh? And what do you call a bad snap? Well?
Speaker 6 (20:46):
So, actually on Brandon's fake, my snap was a little
bit inside, so I wasn't super happy about that.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
And really that was like.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Now you knew the fake was on?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, so were you hurrying it or doing.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
I think mentally I was like, all right, the snap
doesn't need to be as good, doesn't need to be
out over the spot. It just needs to be easy
to handle.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
So I put it in Brian's body a little bit
and then it ended up being a little bit more,
which Brian's great, So it's fine. But I mean, I've
definitely had bad snaps.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
But stop, what's a bad snap?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Do you define a bad snap to you?
Speaker 6 (21:22):
So to me, like, essentially, I think of it like
uh a strike zone on a on a batter and baseball,
like maybe a little bit tighter where it's like mid
thigh to like stern them and want to keep it
on the body so that Brian's not stepping side to side.
He can keep all his moment I'm going forward. If
I make him flip his hands over, that slows down
(21:45):
the op time, which increases odds of blocks, and it
also messes with Brian's timing because he's practiced dropping from
down here so much so whenever you're watching a punter
catch the ball, you want to see him catch their
hand catch with their hands down like that. And so
I've definitely had a couple this year that are like
down around the knee, down around the knee where he
(22:05):
has to bend over into it and it makes him
have to stand back up. So that that's where I
start to say, Okay, that wasn't a good snap.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I need to do better.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
But if it's on the if it's on his body
and he doesn't really have to move side the side
or flip his hands, then I'm usually okay with it.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
But you're in the ninety five percent area of doing that.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Aren't you, I hope.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So I haven't done the numbers on it, but yeah,
I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Us your head. You know, you know how many?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Roughly you know?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You haven't had ten bad snaps by your definition all year?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yeah? Probably not, probably like two or three.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, how much pride do you take in being the
guy who helped make that field goal? Happen or punt happen. Yeah,
how much pride are you take in that?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I definitely take pride in it because it's what I do.
So I have to get some so forth somewhere, you know.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
But but it's definitely why you got married Trent.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Right, It's definitely a thing.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
And like on the counter that, whenever there's a missfield,
I'm like, dang it, what did I do?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
So?
Speaker 6 (23:08):
So I definitely know I impact it, but I like
to think like I just got to get the ball
to Brian and just let Brian and Brandon do whatever
they do and just try to stay.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Out of their way because they're great at what they do.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, this might as well be the time that we
talked about how you got into doing this. So in
high school in Colorado, you were a linebacker and a
tight end.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yes, did you snap them? Also?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I did?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah, so I started snapping in middle school actually, So what.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Made you do that?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
My dad played.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Division two ball at Saint Cloud State in Minnesota, and
he told me that he'd always look over at the
specialists during practice and like those guys have the life.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Because they don't seem to be doing when the rest
of us are working.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah, just screwing around over there doing on whatever specialists do.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
So he always told me from the time I was
probably like six or seventh grade, like, hey, you need
a snap.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
If nothing else, it'll help you get recruited to go
into college.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
And it did.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I ended up walking on at CSU, mostly as a snapper.
I had some other opportunities at some other schools, but
CSU was home to me. I felt, I loved, loved
talking to the coaches.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
There is twenty miles away from where I grew up, and.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
It's just just a really great place where I wanted
to be and just stuck with snapping and just right
in the wave until till I fall off the.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
There is a misconception I think among people that.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You know, maybe you.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Guys are athletes in the same way that kickers are athletes,
and it's just not true. When I started doing this
job in seventeen forty one, there were no thank.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
You very much two or three of you for paying
attention to that. There weren't.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
There were not even special teams coaches, and literally when
I started doing this job, most teams had a long
snapper and a short snapper, and they were not the
same guy placements and punts, and the long snapper was Dede. Lewis,
who just passed away this year. And he was a
tremendous linebacker, one of the best linebackers.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
The Cowboys had for years. And he had this great
technique that I saw him win a game in Washington.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
He learned how to move his head without flinching any
part of the rest of his body to draw the
other team offside. And I saw him win a game
when they drew somebody upside and got a first down
and went and won the game. The point is, there
weren't long snappers, and I don't remember when long snappers
came into the game, but I do know in the
(25:52):
thirty something years ago in the Super Bowl, teams Dale
Hellistre was an outstanding offensive lignement excuse me at SMU
played on good teams. And one of the guys that
followed him Jeff Robinson, who was called mister Salty.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
He was a tight end. He played tight end in
the league. I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
LP Latissar doing anything but long snapping, but he did
in college.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yeah, he was a defensive lineman coming out.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
So do you, I mean, certainly you're you're a young
man all of your life in the NFL, long snappers
are just long snappers.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yeah, I don't specifically remember guys being super different positions,
but I would say most of the guys in the
NFL grew up playing another position. And it is getting
a little bit more to where like, all right, kids
are growing up and like, okay, I'm going to be
a snapper, where I think a majority guys in the
league right now, and when I came in it is
(26:56):
like I'm trying to be a linebacker. I'm trying to
be a tight end, and snapping is.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
My way to.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Just give that little extra to be on the team
and contribute, you know, and then it turns out like,
oh crap, I'm really good at.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
This, so just go on and yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Right, another guy that or Luke Rhodes for the Colts,
he he didn't snap in college at all.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
He was just a linebacker.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
And started in the pros.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, he was on practice squad with Indy and learned
how to snap there and just worked his way up
and now I was multi multiple time Pro bowler, been
playing for gosh, probably nine or ten years now.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
So did you always enjoy you said, you played. You
were long snapper in middle school. Was that something that
you always enjoyed or did you prefer to play linebacker?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Oh, for sure, play linebacker a tight end, it's not.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And this is the conversation that I had with Brian
and Brandon, like like when I when I retire, I'm
probably never gonna go out and long snap again, except
for like as a party trick, Like I'm not ever
going to go to a field and be like, oh, yeah,
look at this snap. That really looks good where I
know Brian and Brann will go out like it's cool
to freaking hit the ball sixty five yards, you know,
and I snapped it like yeah, the laces were out,
(28:11):
and so so, like, I definitely enjoy being part of
the part of the team and contributing, and I take
a lot of pride in what I do and enjoy
being around the guys, But might rather be out there
catching touchdowns or sacking the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You know, or running down the field and recovering a
fumble Thanksgiving exact.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Now, when Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Makes a tackle, it's because somebody in the kickoff coverage
team didn't do their job and a guy is running back,
and then everybody says, don't you don't hit anybody.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
You're in bubble wrap. We don't want you touching anybody exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
But you are streaking down the field like the natural athlete.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
You are very generous to put it that way.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
What I'm here for, it's Christmas and uh and then
and then you make a play like that.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
How exciting? Was that the most exciting play you've had
as a pro?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
By far? It definitely.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
That's the thing that every snapper just dreams of, just
that opportunity of the ball bouncing out right in front
of you.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
And my only regret is I didn't try to score.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I could have really just just get to the peak
of my career instantly.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
But yeah, it's been.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh, you'd have been in the Long Snappers Hall of
Fame for sure instantly.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
But yeah, I mean it's been.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I've been playing for eight years and that's the first
time I've had an opportunity like that.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
So I'm just glad, glad I was able to make
a play on it and do something good.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Ac and Keys did a great job of knocking the
ball out and just try to be around the ball
and good things happen.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You know, all right, you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
The guy in Indianapolis Roads who's a pro bowler, So
you'll pardon me if this is uncomfortable, but I I mean,
I Trent's sake should be the Pro Bowl long snapper.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And you've been very creative.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
You're a little slow, but that's all right, thank you.
You're you're you've been very creative in some of the
things you've done in the last couple of years on
social media to try to promote yourself, which you must
do in the fan voting. So the fan voting this year,
this is just such an interesting story to me. The
fan voting this year again was won by the Vikings
(30:17):
long snapper Andrew d' paula.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Am I saying his last name right, Topola Pola.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Now, the final voting won't be is it tomorrow that
they have it because the players and coaches votes have
to so we're not done yet. But so Depaula has
been a Pro bowler two or three times, he's been
All Pro long snapper two or three times, and you
(30:44):
replaced him in your first professional job.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yeah, he was coming off on ACL injury and I
think the main thing when I ended up replacing him
was they like that I was younger than him.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
But no, height depots are great. Just a great snapper.
So like if I'm gonna lose Pro Bowl to anyone,
and I'm happy at him like he's he's been awesome.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
He's a great mentor to me when we when I
was in Oakland with him, and I still text him
like a what what do you do when when you
guys go against this team? Like do you have any
any tips? And He'll do the same.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
So I just a ton of respect for him and
the work that he's done.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
That being said, I would love to be thrown him
and just be able to rub that in.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
His face a little bit.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Can you talk about some of the creative things you've
done to kind of pitch yourself that Brad was mentioned
mentioning a little.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Because you're pretty good at it, you do that yourself, right, Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Long snappers are not like quarterbacks that have social media team,
yeah I don't.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I don't have the whole five people producing my social media.
But yeah, so essentially the main thing I've done is
just do like those big hit like face or big
headshots and just crop my face on the stuff onto
players and just try to do it with funny memes
and try to engage with the audience.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I know probably most of my following.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Is teenage boys, so try to try to let them
know that I'm still young at heart and up up
to date with all the memes. And last year I
pasted my face on a bunch of like really well
known highlight tape saying it was me, like I put
myself on tavon Austin's highlight tape, and I think maybe
(32:29):
like Reggie Bush or something like that. This year, I
just posted my fumble recovery about thirty.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Five times, So that should be all you need to do,
all right, I got us a little bit behind. We're
going to take a break and come back and talk
some more about the art of long snapping and other
things related to that tramp's sake. The Cowboys long Snapper
is our guest on the Midder Like Cowboys Hour, and
we're brought.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Twas to the Miller Like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertsons.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Welcome back to the middle Like Cowboys Hour, Sidecar Social
in the Star District in Frisco, Brand Sham and Nicole
Hutchinson and our very special guest, Cowboys long snapper, Trent Sig.
This is the Merry Christmas edition of the Cowboys Hour.
I hope everybody is in a holiday festive mood.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
You do your own shopping if Amazon counts, yes, count.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Because it doesn't well unless you pay extra for it
to come wrapped.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
And then you make my wife wrap ita Trent.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
What I mean? What about for your wife?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
You don't make her wrap.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Her own prod?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Of course that would be ridiculous, Yeah, of course, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, sure, let's go with let's go with that,
all right.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
I want to go back to what you told us.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Your dad said that you be a long snapper, because
I've seen these guys in practice. The fact is that
the three of you, hunter, kicker, long snapper on any team.
I presume it's this way in college, but it's certainly
this way in the NFL. You guys spend an inordinate
(37:30):
amount of time together, the three of you. Now, all
the wide receivers are in the wide receiver room.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
And are in the offense room.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
But you guys are different because a lot of the
time you're off the three of you working on your
own stuff while they're practicing. And so my my question is,
have you ever been on a team where of the
three of you, one or two of.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
You just didn't fit?
Speaker 6 (37:58):
I would say I've been very fortunate that I haven't,
And but.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Yeah, where it's kind of like go go in and like, okay,
they're my co workers.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
But like every everywhere I've been, I've been very close
to pretty much everyone. I'd say a CSU maybe not
as much just because we had I think at one
point we had eleven guys.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
In the room.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
Really yeah, I think we had like four punters and
three kickers, two snappers whatever that adds.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Up to three.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, Like like I still like enjoyed all the guys.
They are still all my friends. Yeah, three, it's just
a lot easier to I.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Guess some teams on the practice squad might have another kicker.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, but there's it's gonna not be more than four.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yeah, I mean that you you got to get along,
don't you.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:48):
I mean, like I said, I think I've been very
blessed with Brian and Brandon, Like we all are very cohesive,
and we know what each other expect and and we
just we want what's best for each other, and we
know we know how to respond with each other, you know,
and it's just it's all very natural, which is great
(39:08):
because Brandon when he first got got here was like
super quiet.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
So it's been awesome to see him come out of
a shell a little bit.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
And so is out of his shell.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Yeah yeah, so but yeah, it really is a it
really is a brotherhood. But I have heard some stories
of like other guys and like, yeah, I go to
work and like they're my coworker, you know, I go
and we do what you need to do and you're
still working.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
But I just think it's got to.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Be way less enjoyable when you're not there just ragging
on each other like brothers do.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
How often outside of football do you'all spend time with
each other.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
Since we've had since we've all had more kids, it's
got it's gone down significantly. It would help if Brandon
would move up north with where the rest of us are,
But uh, I mean we definitely.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
We probably do.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
So then like every couple of weeks with each other,
and then in the off season where we go golf
together and just do like we're My wife will give
me crap. You're like, oh, you want to go and
hang out with the guys that you just spent seven
hours with today, and like rather than hanging out with
your family, like you're.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Invited to, rather than me and these two little babies.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Yeah right, yeah, but like you're invited to.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
She's like, well, then I just end up watching the
kids all you guys hang out.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
So everybody who watches The Hard Knocks NFC, he said,
anybody watching that, anybody watching that series.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Nobody's watching that series.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
So there's a scene last week where you and you
and Anger are at the Aubrey's house having dinner with
mister and missus Aubrey.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Where were your wives?
Speaker 6 (40:54):
My wife was in the back room watching the kids,
watching the kids. So, like I said, I just thought that.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Yeah, I mean Brian's wife was out of town. She
was at a wedding. Okay, so she gets.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
A pass my my wife that the kids, as we
were discussing the appreciow my I have a three and
a half year old, and that's not exactly conducive to
getting good audio while you're filming for Hard Knocks. So
they went and my kids went and played with Brandon's
son and in the back room and we did our filming.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Well you could have done. What was it two weeks ago?
We had Logan Wilson.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Oh yeah, and his daughter is eighteen months. She was adorable,
cutest thing you ever saw, and she was ubiquitous. I
just thought that was great. And so do you ever
have a crossword the three of you?
Speaker 5 (41:47):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Yeah, for sure, Oh you do. Like serious, I mean.
Speaker 6 (41:50):
I want to say serious, but like I said, we're
all competitors.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, I'm not talking about just you know, beating on
a guy, because that's what guys do. I'm talking about
like I'm mad at you.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Yeah, but like not not ever over football. It's like
more we we have like competition Thursdays where we come
up with these ridiculous games and there's there's always some
like really.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Really crazy rule rule like and just somebody tend to
try to skirt those rules.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
I'm not going to mention anything.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
I won't say who, but but it rhymes with he's
definitely the oldest guy in the room. But so there
there is a lot of like we try to call
each other out games, just talk talking crap.
Speaker 6 (42:38):
And then every now and then, every now and then
there'll be like a little.
Speaker 5 (42:42):
Bit of like, oh, you're folded and just going back
and forth.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
What kind of games are you competing?
Speaker 6 (42:46):
Usually it's some version version of like bachi ball.
Speaker 5 (42:52):
It's like where you got where you got a ball?
I'm just like, all right, there's a smart right here.
We're all going to throw the ball.
Speaker 6 (42:57):
Whoever ends up closest to it wins. So we'll do
like we'll do that with like football's the other day.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
We did it.
Speaker 6 (43:04):
We had a football of basketball, a medicine ball, a
pylon die and.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
These were the things you were throwing a golf all.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
Yeah. So it's like and we had to get them
all to the land in the middle of the star,
and you got a point if it was in the.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Star inside the Ford Center. Yes, Oh, where's the camera
crew on that?
Speaker 5 (43:22):
We told them to go away?
Speaker 6 (43:23):
But uh, but so like that. Or we'll throw a
football and try to hit a crossbar. Or one of
my favorite ones is we make like a little impromptu
golf course and we'll roll a football and like in
the weight room, and the ground's really hard, so it
rolls forever, so it's really hard to get it to
like actually go where you want it to. And so
(43:46):
it's just a bunch of stuff like that, and it's like, oh,
this should count, this shouldn't count.
Speaker 5 (43:49):
And then we get.
Speaker 6 (43:50):
All heated and we're and we all stick to our
guns whether we're right or wrong, and just dig our
heels in.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
So you guys really do have too much time.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
It seems like you'll have a lot of fun together.
Speaker 5 (43:59):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6 (44:01):
I mean it's nothing that lasts more than twenty four hours,
you know, But every now and then I'll.
Speaker 5 (44:05):
Go home Curly Bryant cheated today.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
All right, Well, we're gonna take our last break and
Trent and I are going to explain what BATCHI Ball
is to Nicole and then we will be right back

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Welcome back to the Cowboys Hour. We are at Sidecar
Social in the Star District in Frisco with Nicole Hutchinson.
I'm Brad Sham our special guest Cowboys long snapper Trent Sigg.
Speaker 4 (47:48):
Have you played bach Ball?
Speaker 5 (47:50):
Not the official version, only only the football version.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Only the How did you know that it was like
botch Ball?
Speaker 5 (47:56):
Because I've been told it.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Well, I should have showed you. I looked it up
and showed Nicole. It's fun.
Speaker 5 (48:03):
I've seen it. I just haven't ever like.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Oh, you'd enjoy it, you'd enjoy it. Okay, we've got
them lined up to talk to Trent. Say. We haven't
had a line of questioners this long for am I right?
Speaker 5 (48:15):
Anybody?
Speaker 4 (48:15):
All year? No?
Speaker 8 (48:16):
No, no, all year all year long.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
We've had the big stars, but they're not lined up
like they are for sake. Okay, let's start right here.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
Good evening, Trent. My name's rambow Sock.
Speaker 11 (48:28):
The movie well Unfortunately, I have no money, no fame,
just the name. So with the Texas high school landscape
in regards to football, would you ever consider, possibly in
the next life coaching high school football here in Texas?
Speaker 6 (48:48):
That is something I've actually been tossing around in my
head a little bit. I have zero want to coach
in the college and NFL level, but I could definitely
see myself doing something like helping out specialists in the
area in the area, like I've done some lessons with
high schoolers already, but I could definitely see myself like
helping out with special teams or something at one of
high schools I lived close to, and especially if my
(49:11):
son's gone through it and love to be a part
of something like that.
Speaker 3 (49:14):
And why would you not want to do that at
the college or a professional.
Speaker 5 (49:17):
Level, because it's way too many hours. They they they
put their they put their work in. All hats off
to them, it's it's it's a lot of film, a
lot more film than I want to watch. How much
do you watch?
Speaker 6 (49:30):
I mean, I'll watch like the Rushes and get a
good idea of what the team are coming up against
for the week, but usually there's like twenty ish rushes
or and then like I'll watch some field goal maybe
if they have a good guy, just to be aware of.
But it's definitely not strenuous. It's maybe like an hour
a week that I really have to look at it.
Speaker 5 (49:51):
I've gotten gotten to a point where I played long
enough that there's only so many ways to rush your punt,
and games kind of slowed down a little bit. So
it's more being aware of personnel than anything.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
You started.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
You signed with the Ravens, correct right, initially out of
Colorado State free agent, and then then you went to
the Raiders who were in their last year in Oakland,
and what were there?
Speaker 4 (50:16):
Three years? Four years?
Speaker 5 (50:17):
Well? I did two in Oakland and three in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
Yeah, so five with the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
So the reason I'm asking that is, at what point
in there did you start to think, oh, my.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Dad was right, this was the thing to do.
Speaker 5 (50:28):
I mean, when the first paycheck hit.
Speaker 4 (50:32):
Fair enough?
Speaker 12 (50:33):
Well, Trent Larry from McKinney, Hey Larry, myself and all
the fans worldwide wishing you and the other players Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (50:41):
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well.
Speaker 12 (50:42):
What can you remember as far as going back to
when you were growing up, your most favorite churchable Christmas moment?
And do you share those traditions with your family now?
Speaker 4 (50:53):
Love that.
Speaker 6 (50:55):
Really we used to always just go to my grandma's
house and she'd have her holiday ham and she was
actually a.
Speaker 5 (51:01):
Hamlofe that she would make, and.
Speaker 6 (51:03):
That was like our our go to thing and just
really just having gosh, how many probably like twenty plus
people around and just all the chaos that the that
comes with that and just being around that, I'd say that,
and we still, like, I've got the recipe from my
grandma to so we make hamloaf whenever it was our
Easter and our Christmas meal, so we still keep that going.
Speaker 4 (51:26):
And and by the way, you mean your wife.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
Yeah exactly, my wife and I supervise you.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
Reader the recipe, yeah exactly.
Speaker 6 (51:34):
So yeah, just the chaos of the family, that's the
best part.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
Thanks Larry.
Speaker 5 (51:39):
Hello, my name is Angela.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
I was wondering what's your favorite mealty after a long game.
What a great question and right at dinner time, and.
Speaker 4 (51:48):
So great, thank you.
Speaker 6 (51:51):
It's it's really tough to beat a good rabbi and
some mac and cheese.
Speaker 5 (51:54):
That's that's usually my go to.
Speaker 4 (51:56):
Now, what do you read for pre game and when so.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
I usually I'm trying to think of the timeline here.
Speaker 6 (52:04):
So on Sunday, our bus left at eight thirty, so
I ate breakfast at eight o'clock. And regardless of the
time of the day, I always eat the same thing,
which isn't always my favorite thing. I'll always have like
a filet and and some pasta and like some fruit
just to make sure I get a good car blow
it's some protein there because I'm big on or when
(52:28):
I have food in my stomach, I can I definitely
feel it. So I and then I don't eat again
until the game's over.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
So go from essentially eight thirty.
Speaker 6 (52:38):
Until when it was the game over three thirty four o'clock.
Speaker 5 (52:41):
Yeah, yeah, just just water between them.
Speaker 4 (52:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
And so I think I interrupted you a big steak
after the game.
Speaker 6 (52:51):
Yeah yeah, steak and steak and mac and cheese is
just the main go too.
Speaker 7 (52:56):
Do you like your steak well done or a medium?
Speaker 5 (52:58):
No? I enjoy my steak, So I go.
Speaker 4 (53:03):
Just in case you like it well done.
Speaker 12 (53:04):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Okay, I'm gonna try to squeeze in two questions.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
Okay, sure, Brand asked you earlier, what was a beadd
snap to you. But is there a best nap?
Speaker 5 (53:14):
What is the best nap to your coaches?
Speaker 1 (53:16):
And is there times when you come out the field
they're waiting for you to coach you up?
Speaker 6 (53:22):
I'd say, well, it's a discussion that we have throughout,
especially learning a new coach, where we were like, all right,
this is the expectation, this is where the ball should be.
And I'd say, for the most part, were where.
Speaker 5 (53:32):
We should be.
Speaker 6 (53:34):
And it's kind of dependent on the coach on if
they're going to say something to you on game day.
Like when I was with the Raiders, I was with
coach Masata love him, but man, he would get after you.
Speaker 5 (53:44):
If it was bad.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
And Rich was here, Yeah, Rich love Rich and he
and Rich is involved.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
Yes and uh.
Speaker 6 (53:52):
And like with Bones and Nick, they've been a lot
more like unless something really needs to be said, Like
first thing, I come come back and do Brandon watches
my staff for me and he.
Speaker 5 (54:04):
Tells me where it is and I usually have a
good feeling just based off of the feel of the release, So.
Speaker 6 (54:11):
Nothing needs to be said to me at this point,
Like I'm probably my toughest critic.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Secondly, a lot of a lot of fans don't know
who their long snapper is.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
We do, that's right, But I don't know if you
can answer this, but who is the backup.
Speaker 5 (54:29):
Long snap as it's either Ferg or Hunter depending on
how the competition goes for the week. They each get
one snap during the week. It's like it's like a
live snap, and it's kind of like, okay, if we
have to get out of it, who do we feel
more comfortable with so? And they've both been getting better
so or like they have one competition snap, then we'll
(54:51):
get a few more after practice. But that competition snap
is like the put a little bit of pressure on it,
and yeah, just see see whoever?
Speaker 6 (54:59):
Like, all right, Trent goes down, we got to make
a kick?
Speaker 5 (55:02):
Who's up?
Speaker 4 (55:03):
Lippy does everything. He's a Swiss army knife.
Speaker 5 (55:06):
He's crazy.
Speaker 4 (55:07):
I've called him that. Yeah, yeah, it's exactly absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
So I've seen that players normally like pick up golfing
in their free time, like Solomon Thomas likes watching Broadway shows.
Speaker 4 (55:18):
What hobbies have you picked up outside of football? That's
what I'm talking.
Speaker 6 (55:21):
I was really into video games for about three years
ago until about three three and a half years ago,
when my son was born. But uh, I've definitely gotten
more into golf here in the last couple of years too,
And it was a terrible time to get into golf
because that was after my son was born. And now
instead of me disappearing into my room for an hour
(55:42):
to play video games, I'm gone for five hours to golf.
Speaker 5 (55:44):
So yeah, golf is definitely my hobby right now.
Speaker 4 (55:48):
And Banger likes to play golf.
Speaker 6 (55:50):
Yes, yeah, Banger and Brandon just got the bug this
offseason too, so three of us are going out there.
Speaker 5 (55:55):
Getting after it.
Speaker 6 (55:55):
And Brandon is just a natural athlete, so he's already
better than me.
Speaker 8 (55:59):
Who's better?
Speaker 12 (55:59):
Who's the best?
Speaker 7 (56:00):
At y'all?
Speaker 6 (56:01):
Brian is when nobody's around, but he can't handle the heat.
Speaker 5 (56:06):
I don't know. He shoots really good when none of
us are with him, but he.
Speaker 7 (56:10):
Just comes back and tells y'all reports, yeah exactly.
Speaker 6 (56:13):
But but I mean, he's definitely the best. But according
to him, he's really the best. But it's like it's
kind of like and it's probably Brian and then me
or Brandon depending on the day.
Speaker 3 (56:25):
That's the music that says, we got thirty seconds left,
so use ten of them to tell us the best
Christmas person you ever got?
Speaker 5 (56:32):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 6 (56:36):
Seconds, I got a snowboard when I when I was
like eight years old, and that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (56:42):

for coming out and doing this. Of course, appreciate that

and all of you who are watching us streaming whenever
or wherever you are.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
On Dallascowboys dot Com.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Y'all how y'all doing, Thanks, thanks for doing this So
the Cowboys, of course, I had to have a walkthrough
today because it's Thursday, and this is the same thing
that obtains on Thanksgiving Week, and we don't do a
show on Thanksgiving Week because it's a ridiculously short week.
And why are we doing one tonight because I couldn't
(02:53):
talk them into giving us two days off, so we're
here to do this one. And it's really it's it's
very generous of any player to come out on a
Thursday night before a game and do this, So Trent,
I'm really grateful. And I must acknowledge our our regulars
(03:16):
who sit at the table over here to our left,
who after a win. This is the victory Monday Club, okay.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
But tonight it is the diehard fan Club for look
Ahead two year, twenty twenty six. I give you a
round of applause. Way to go, you guys.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Does the name change week to week?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Then you know they're very creative, don't dare them? However,
that does that does give us an on ramp into
one of the things I think that's potentially difficult.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Or not depending on your attitude.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
When you're when you're a team sport athlete and there
are games left to play, but you know you're not
going to be in the postseason. Some people find some
some players find that harder to find motivation. Others say,
to my job, I'm going to go do it. What's
what's your take, because you've you've had it both ways.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Unfortunately I have had it both ways. But yes, it
it's definitely like you said, it's your job.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
But to me, there's just a lot of pride.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
And going out and doing your job the right way.
And you, like, you're still always going out there putting
stuff on film, and we got to this level because
we're competitors, you know, And whenever you go out there,
you want to beat the guy across from you, no
matter what the score is, no matter no matter where
the season's at. Like you just you never want to
look bad, you know, and you want to go out
(04:44):
there and perform themost of your ability. And and another
kind of sad part of this business is you never
know when it's going to be the last snap, and
you don't want to give anyone an opportunity to think that, and.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
When you know that the season is coming to an end.
And also just every year in the NFL, teams turn
over twenty five percent. But in your group, well you
you and Brian Anger are under contract for next year. Yes,
and the kicker will be at some point very soon, I.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Hope, yes, fingers crossing.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, And I really thought that was kind of critical
for keeping him by getting YouTube under contract, because you're
his comfort zone. But when when you know it's coming
down and the group that you're playing with is going
to change, how much does that motivate you to, Hey,
(05:41):
let's just do this. This is the last time we
are going to do it together for sure.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Yeah, there's definitely some of that and kind of venturing
out into the unknown, you know where, like you said,
you don't necessarily know who's going to be back next year.
You don't you don't know if someone's going to retire.
You don't know if there's going to be a surprise
trade or somebody get cut and something happened during training
camp or injuries. So there is a lot of like,
a these are my brothers. We've worked in blood and
(06:08):
sweat and cried together over the last year, and like,
and I think something that this team really has it's
just a crazy amount of camaraderie in that locker room
and just it's a really good culture and a testament
to Shoddy for helping to build it.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
And there's just you want to play for the man
next to you, you know, and you always want to
go out on a win.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
And just like I said, we're competitors and do whatever
we can for our brothers.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
All of you guys seem to be really close, right,
that's the culture that Shady has really built for this organization.
But talk about what's been the message from you and
some of the older guys on this team to make sure, Hey,
these guys are still locked in and yeah, what's been
kind of the message for those guys.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yeah, And I think the main thing is just we
have our job. This is how we go about it,
like we nothing changes from day to day for us,
like other than the week being really short, But it's
still the same approach. It's still game prep. It's still
got gotta be on your assignments and know what to
expect out of it. Like just because we're out of
(07:10):
the playoffs, doesn't mean the other team's.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Not going to play either. Like there's even like a
matter of safety of it.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
If you're not out there and doing things the right way,
like you can put your your your own health jeopardy
and your teammates health and jeopardy, So there is definitely
a responsibility to going out there and giving everything you're
all have.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
You since maybe it's a little bit of extra emotion
from some of the guys who may not be there
next year at all, if it's a great a share.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah, I'm just trying to think because really that we
didn't weren't officially eliminated until this weekend, and we haven't
and just everything's so fast for the Thursday game, there
isn't a whole.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Lot of them.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Is that a blessing by the way this week?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yes, and no, it is kind of nice to just
flush the game and and move on. And the hard
part is, like it was a cool game against the Chargers,
we got some guys banged up and just recovering for
that Thursday.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Game is tough.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
But there's definitely a little bit more more. It's solemn
the working word I'm looking for in the locker room
after Sunday night. It just kind of like, dang, you know,
we really want to make that push, and especially after
everything we've been through this year and the runs that
(08:28):
we've been on both up and down and marsha on
and is just just.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
A lot that this team's gone through together.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
So, like you said, there's there's a little bit of
sadness of thing.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
We left a little bit on the table, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
All Right, I'm gonna ask you a question that if
we weren't friends, would sound really really rude. Okay, players,
most players that I've talked to, I talked to your
quarterback today.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
He would be in the group.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Once they've played more than a year or two. They
all say, Hey, I don't feel human till Thursday. Really,
the body just takes such a pounding and and and
I asked him today, how dak how? I said, how
are you feeling? He said, and I said, how do you?
How do you get your brain to get your body
(09:18):
to shut up when it's Monday, except it's Thursday and
thursdays when you feel good? But you don't feel good yet?
And he was talking about, Yes, that's a thing that did.
So you and Brian Anger and Brandon Aubrey will conclude
him in this too.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
You tended most of the time that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Could be a little different for you on punts, Uh,
most of the you'll get a little less banged up
than some other guys.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
That's that's I won't insult you by saying that I'm
well aware.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I like that part.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, well, i'll bet you do. I'll bet you do. So, So,
how sore.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Are you normally after a game and how sore are
you today knowing that you've got.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Your next games in three days?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
So really the part of me that really gets sorees
my hamstrings hips like into my lower back just being
down in my snapping position, and I probably snap eighty
to one hundred balls on game day, just kind of
depending on how many possessions we get, how how many
balls Brian and Brandon want to hit during pregame. Fortunately
they don't take too many, but I like whenever they're kicking,
I like to be snapping to them. So I don't
(10:29):
really have a ton of the like physical impact, but
there is definitely some fatigue, and it's probably more reset
of the nervous system that I need to do to
where like usually when I come back and practice on Wednesday,
my body is not as explosive as it is on Sunday.
So just getting to that point where everything's firing and
the timing of the timing of my snap body wise
(10:52):
that everything's coming out. I usually feel good on like,
feel better on Thursday essentially, and then like and kind
of dial it back down the next couple of days
and Sunday field pretty good.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
But like I said, I start to feel better on Thursday,
and so it's Thursday.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
How are you feeling?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Right, So there's I'm looking at the clock because there's
a subject I want to get into with you that
will take more than about the minute or so that
we've got left.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But the the we Nicole and I.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Talked to players all the time who have routines about
you were talking about your back and your hips, and
guys use acupuncture and massages and all kinds of different things,
and that part of your job is something I bet
people never think about the beating that your back and
hamstrings could take. Do you have a routine? You have
(11:46):
a physical rehab routine that you like?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, the team's done
a really good job of having some good chiropractors around.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
And shout out doctor Fred Kaster.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah for doctor for a doctor Fryar do a
great job. So I could go into.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Them virtually on a daily basis and get worked down there,
and then I like Mondays and Tuesdays. I have a
cupping and needling routine that I go through and I
haven't done it as much this year because I'm trying
to keep my daughter alive or I try to help
my wife with the kids a.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Little bit more.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
But and this is this is the six month old.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Yes, this is yeah that and just we haven't really
had a regular week, so I haven't been on the
rate regular routine. Usually I'd get needles done on Monday.
I get like seventy needles put through my posterior chain.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Typically, but we just have.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
We just haven't had like a full time to reset
because usually when I come back on Wednesday, I'm still
pretty sore from the needling. Then the body feels good,
but just need to be able to feel good enough
to practice.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well, I've been doing this for a very long time,
and you are the first person who has ever discussed
having seventy needles in their posterior chain. And we're not
going to let it off the hook with that. We're
going to pursue that we are on the middle like
Cowboys Hour.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
It's the Felice.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Navi DoD edition right, look at you.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I lived in Puerto Rico for two you never have.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It is the absolute happy you know, I want to
thought police Navi Dodd would have gotten a little something.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Huh. Again.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We're at Sidecar Social the Star District in Frisco on
the middle like Cowboys Hour with our special guest, Cowboys
long snapper Trent Sig and we're brought.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
To you by Albertson's.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
When it comes time to shop for tailgate favorites, go
to Tom Thumb and Albertsons. Get ten percent off your
groceries every Dallas Cowboys game day when you wear your
Cowboys jersey, Tom Thumb and Albertson's the official supermarket and
pharmacy of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
A great name for a rock band. The posterior chain.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
We'll be right backs.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
No cowbaw was No Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
To the Miller Lite Cowboys Hour supported by Albertson's.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Welcome Back to the Cowboys Hour at Sidecar Socials the
Star District in Trispo.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Merry Christmas. Everybody will wish you a Merry.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Christmas again on the Cowboys Radio Network on Thursday when
the Cowboys play in Washington at noon Central Time. And
so today for our guest long snapper Trent sig is Thursday,
and he's he's going to be trying to tell his
body for the next twenty four hours that it is
not the day that you think it is.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Body.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But Nicole and I were discussing Trent during our break
just there that neither of us has ever contemplated asking someone,
probably paying someone to approach us with seventy needles to
insert into our posterior chain. And I'm not even sure
I want to know what that is, but yes I do.
(17:52):
Where does that so you're talking about from you in
your back and how high up your back does that start?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Yeah, So I usually go like up into my my traps,
into them. You're really testing my muscle knowledge now, but
like pretty much traps, I'll go down my triceps and
into my fore arms because really that's like my elbow.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Elbow care has been a big part.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Like there was a couple of years there where my
I'd get a lot of fatigue and soreness by the
end of the year. That makes sense, kind of like
tennis elbow and so kind of down through there and
then just pretty much all the way down down glutes,
hammies and I don't do don't do calves, because that
hurts too bad.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
But uh yeah, just the needles hurt the caves.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Yeah, the because when you needle, or the way I
do the needling, it makes the muscle spasm a little bit.
And if you ever had a calf cramp, it's essentially that, yes,
forcing that calf cramp. And so no, thank you very
The only one that I think has looked worse is
some people will do it in the bottom of their feet.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
No no, no, no no no no no no no no,
not going to do that one anytime.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
But does it hurt in your back or in your
a little bit?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
It's it's just like for second and then the spousand
goes away, and it's it's really the main thing that
I tell the guys like I have seen definite results
from the needling, where yes, I'm sore the next day,
but once you work out that soreness, I feel great.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
So how long do you typically keep the needles in?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Like tenish minutes, five to ten minutes.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Ten minutes with a needle, I want no part.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
But then but then you and I don't do for
a living.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
It gives me some quiet time away from the kids, honestly,
so I accept.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
It Yeah, I want to go back to your soreness.
Do you ever get sore like in a game at all?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, Like I was saying, my elbow will sometimes.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
But really, since I've got onto this routine of the
needles and kind of found a good warm up routine
for it, it hasn't been much of an issue that and
I found a good mix of staying warm and sitting
down on the sideline to where I don't get too sore.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
But every now and.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Then there's a really long drive, We'll usually sit while
the while the defenses on the field, and I'll stand
up and move around with offenses out there. But if
there's a drive that lasts a little bit longer, or
there's a big quarter quarter change and some injury timeouts,
then start to get stiffen up a little bit. But
I want to say necessarily sore at that point.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Okay, So we all who who watched the team play
marvel at at Brandon Aubrey's consistency.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
It's just ridiculous that he does what he does.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
It's hard not to yeah, with with with such apparent
ease and regularity, and and I always think that, but
you're not paying attention to the long.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Snapper, which is good.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Uh, well I had when's the last time you had
a bad snap?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Huh? And what do you call a bad snap? Well?
Speaker 6 (20:46):
So, actually on Brandon's fake, my snap was a little
bit inside, so I wasn't super happy about that.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
And really that was like.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Now you knew the fake was on?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, so were you hurrying it or doing.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
I think mentally I was like, all right, the snap
doesn't need to be as good, doesn't need to be
out over the spot. It just needs to be easy
to handle.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
So I put it in Brian's body a little bit
and then it ended up being a little bit more,
which Brian's great, So it's fine. But I mean, I've
definitely had bad snaps.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
But stop, what's a bad snap?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Do you define a bad snap to you?
Speaker 6 (21:22):
So to me, like, essentially, I think of it like
uh a strike zone on a on a batter and baseball,
like maybe a little bit tighter where it's like mid
thigh to like stern them and want to keep it
on the body so that Brian's not stepping side to side.
He can keep all his moment I'm going forward. If
I make him flip his hands over, that slows down
(21:45):
the op time, which increases odds of blocks, and it
also messes with Brian's timing because he's practiced dropping from
down here so much so whenever you're watching a punter
catch the ball, you want to see him catch their
hand catch with their hands down like that. And so
I've definitely had a couple this year that are like
down around the knee, down around the knee where he
(22:05):
has to bend over into it and it makes him
have to stand back up. So that that's where I
start to say, Okay, that wasn't a good snap.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I need to do better.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
But if it's on the if it's on his body
and he doesn't really have to move side the side
or flip his hands, then I'm usually okay with it.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
But you're in the ninety five percent area of doing that.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Aren't you, I hope.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So I haven't done the numbers on it, but yeah,
I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Us your head. You know, you know how many?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Roughly you know?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You haven't had ten bad snaps by your definition all year?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yeah? Probably not, probably like two or three.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, how much pride do you take in being the
guy who helped make that field goal? Happen or punt happen. Yeah,
how much pride are you take in that?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I definitely take pride in it because it's what I do.
So I have to get some so forth somewhere, you know.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
But but it's definitely why you got married Trent.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Right, It's definitely a thing.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
And like on the counter that, whenever there's a missfield,
I'm like, dang it, what did I do?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
So?
Speaker 6 (23:08):
So I definitely know I impact it, but I like
to think like I just got to get the ball
to Brian and just let Brian and Brandon do whatever
they do and just try to stay.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Out of their way because they're great at what they do.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, this might as well be the time that we
talked about how you got into doing this. So in
high school in Colorado, you were a linebacker and a
tight end.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yes, did you snap them? Also?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I did?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah, so I started snapping in middle school actually, So what.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Made you do that?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
My dad played.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Division two ball at Saint Cloud State in Minnesota, and
he told me that he'd always look over at the
specialists during practice and like those guys have the life.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Because they don't seem to be doing when the rest
of us are working.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah, just screwing around over there doing on whatever specialists do.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
So he always told me from the time I was
probably like six or seventh grade, like, hey, you need
a snap.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
If nothing else, it'll help you get recruited to go
into college.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
And it did.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I ended up walking on at CSU, mostly as a snapper.
I had some other opportunities at some other schools, but
CSU was home to me. I felt, I loved, loved
talking to the coaches.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
There is twenty miles away from where I grew up, and.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
It's just just a really great place where I wanted
to be and just stuck with snapping and just right
in the wave until till I fall off the.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
There is a misconception I think among people that.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You know, maybe you.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Guys are athletes in the same way that kickers are athletes,
and it's just not true. When I started doing this
job in seventeen forty one, there were no thank.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
You very much two or three of you for paying
attention to that. There weren't.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
There were not even special teams coaches, and literally when
I started doing this job, most teams had a long
snapper and a short snapper, and they were not the
same guy placements and punts, and the long snapper was Dede. Lewis,
who just passed away this year. And he was a
tremendous linebacker, one of the best linebackers.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
The Cowboys had for years. And he had this great
technique that I saw him win a game in Washington.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
He learned how to move his head without flinching any
part of the rest of his body to draw the
other team offside. And I saw him win a game
when they drew somebody upside and got a first down
and went and won the game. The point is, there
weren't long snappers, and I don't remember when long snappers
came into the game, but I do know in the
(25:52):
thirty something years ago in the Super Bowl, teams Dale
Hellistre was an outstanding offensive lignement excuse me at SMU
played on good teams. And one of the guys that
followed him Jeff Robinson, who was called mister Salty.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
He was a tight end. He played tight end in
the league. I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
LP Latissar doing anything but long snapping, but he did
in college.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yeah, he was a defensive lineman coming out.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
So do you, I mean, certainly you're you're a young
man all of your life in the NFL, long snappers
are just long snappers.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yeah, I don't specifically remember guys being super different positions,
but I would say most of the guys in the
NFL grew up playing another position. And it is getting
a little bit more to where like, all right, kids
are growing up and like, okay, I'm going to be
a snapper, where I think a majority guys in the
league right now, and when I came in it is
(26:56):
like I'm trying to be a linebacker. I'm trying to
be a tight end, and snapping is.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
My way to.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Just give that little extra to be on the team
and contribute, you know, and then it turns out like,
oh crap, I'm really good at.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
This, so just go on and yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Right, another guy that or Luke Rhodes for the Colts,
he he didn't snap in college at all.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
He was just a linebacker.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
And started in the pros.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, he was on practice squad with Indy and learned
how to snap there and just worked his way up
and now I was multi multiple time Pro bowler, been
playing for gosh, probably nine or ten years now.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
So did you always enjoy you said, you played. You
were long snapper in middle school. Was that something that
you always enjoyed or did you prefer to play linebacker?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Oh, for sure, play linebacker a tight end, it's not.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And this is the conversation that I had with Brian
and Brandon, like like when I when I retire, I'm
probably never gonna go out and long snap again, except
for like as a party trick, Like I'm not ever
going to go to a field and be like, oh, yeah,
look at this snap. That really looks good where I
know Brian and Brann will go out like it's cool
to freaking hit the ball sixty five yards, you know,
and I snapped it like yeah, the laces were out,
(28:11):
and so so, like, I definitely enjoy being part of
the part of the team and contributing, and I take
a lot of pride in what I do and enjoy
being around the guys, But might rather be out there
catching touchdowns or sacking the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
You know, or running down the field and recovering a
fumble Thanksgiving exact.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Now, when Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Makes a tackle, it's because somebody in the kickoff coverage
team didn't do their job and a guy is running back,
and then everybody says, don't you don't hit anybody.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
You're in bubble wrap. We don't want you touching anybody exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
But you are streaking down the field like the natural athlete.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
You are very generous to put it that way.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
What I'm here for, it's Christmas and uh and then
and then you make a play like that.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
How exciting? Was that the most exciting play you've had
as a pro?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
By far? It definitely.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
That's the thing that every snapper just dreams of, just
that opportunity of the ball bouncing out right in front
of you.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
And my only regret is I didn't try to score.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I could have really just just get to the peak
of my career instantly.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
But yeah, it's been.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh, you'd have been in the Long Snappers Hall of
Fame for sure instantly.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
But yeah, I mean it's been.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I've been playing for eight years and that's the first
time I've had an opportunity like that.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
So I'm just glad, glad I was able to make
a play on it and do something good.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Ac and Keys did a great job of knocking the
ball out and just try to be around the ball
and good things happen.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You know, all right, you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
The guy in Indianapolis Roads who's a pro bowler, So
you'll pardon me if this is uncomfortable, but I I mean,
I Trent's sake should be the Pro Bowl long snapper.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And you've been very creative.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
You're a little slow, but that's all right, thank you.
You're you're you've been very creative in some of the
things you've done in the last couple of years on
social media to try to promote yourself, which you must
do in the fan voting. So the fan voting this year,
this is just such an interesting story to me. The
fan voting this year again was won by the Vikings
(30:17):
long snapper Andrew d' paula.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Am I saying his last name right, Topola Pola.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Now, the final voting won't be is it tomorrow that
they have it because the players and coaches votes have
to so we're not done yet. But so Depaula has
been a Pro bowler two or three times, he's been
All Pro long snapper two or three times, and you
(30:44):
replaced him in your first professional job.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yeah, he was coming off on ACL injury and I
think the main thing when I ended up replacing him
was they like that I was younger than him.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
But no, height depots are great. Just a great snapper.
So like if I'm gonna lose Pro Bowl to anyone,
and I'm happy at him like he's he's been awesome.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
He's a great mentor to me when we when I
was in Oakland with him, and I still text him
like a what what do you do when when you
guys go against this team? Like do you have any
any tips? And He'll do the same.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
So I just a ton of respect for him and
the work that he's done.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
That being said, I would love to be thrown him
and just be able to rub that in.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
His face a little bit.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Can you talk about some of the creative things you've
done to kind of pitch yourself that Brad was mentioned
mentioning a little.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Because you're pretty good at it, you do that yourself, right, Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Long snappers are not like quarterbacks that have social media team,
yeah I don't.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I don't have the whole five people producing my social media.
But yeah, so essentially the main thing I've done is
just do like those big hit like face or big
headshots and just crop my face on the stuff onto
players and just try to do it with funny memes
and try to engage with the audience.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I know probably most of my following.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Is teenage boys, so try to try to let them
know that I'm still young at heart and up up
to date with all the memes. And last year I
pasted my face on a bunch of like really well
known highlight tape saying it was me, like I put
myself on tavon Austin's highlight tape, and I think maybe
(32:29):
like Reggie Bush or something like that. This year, I
just posted my fumble recovery about thirty.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Five times, So that should be all you need to do,
all right, I got us a little bit behind. We're
going to take a break and come back and talk
some more about the art of long snapping and other
things related to that tramp's sake. The Cowboys long Snapper
is our guest on the Midder Like Cowboys Hour, and
we're brought.
Speaker 8 (32:52):

Cow Boys, No Cowboys, No Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Twas to the Miller Like Cowboys Hour supported by Albertsons.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Welcome back to the middle Like Cowboys Hour, Sidecar Social
in the Star District in Frisco, Brand Sham and Nicole
Hutchinson and our very special guest, Cowboys long snapper, Trent Sig.
This is the Merry Christmas edition of the Cowboys Hour.
I hope everybody is in a holiday festive mood.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
You do your own shopping if Amazon counts, yes, count.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Because it doesn't well unless you pay extra for it
to come wrapped.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
And then you make my wife wrap ita Trent.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
What I mean? What about for your wife?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
You don't make her wrap.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Her own prod?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Of course that would be ridiculous, Yeah, of course, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, sure, let's go with let's go with that,
all right.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
I want to go back to what you told us.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Your dad said that you be a long snapper, because
I've seen these guys in practice. The fact is that
the three of you, hunter, kicker, long snapper on any team.
I presume it's this way in college, but it's certainly
this way in the NFL. You guys spend an inordinate
(37:30):
amount of time together, the three of you. Now, all
the wide receivers are in the wide receiver room.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
And are in the offense room.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
But you guys are different because a lot of the
time you're off the three of you working on your
own stuff while they're practicing. And so my my question is,
have you ever been on a team where of the
three of you, one or two of.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
You just didn't fit?
Speaker 6 (37:58):
I would say I've been very fortunate that I haven't,
And but.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Yeah, where it's kind of like go go in and like, okay,
they're my co workers.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
But like every everywhere I've been, I've been very close
to pretty much everyone. I'd say a CSU maybe not
as much just because we had I think at one
point we had eleven guys.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
In the room.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
Really yeah, I think we had like four punters and
three kickers, two snappers whatever that adds.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Up to three.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, Like like I still like enjoyed all the guys.
They are still all my friends. Yeah, three, it's just
a lot easier to I.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Guess some teams on the practice squad might have another kicker.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, but there's it's gonna not be more than four.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yeah, I mean that you you got to get along,
don't you.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:48):
I mean, like I said, I think I've been very
blessed with Brian and Brandon, Like we all are very cohesive,
and we know what each other expect and and we
just we want what's best for each other, and we
know we know how to respond with each other, you know,
and it's just it's all very natural, which is great
(39:08):
because Brandon when he first got got here was like
super quiet.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
So it's been awesome to see him come out of
a shell a little bit.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
And so is out of his shell.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Yeah yeah, so but yeah, it really is a it
really is a brotherhood. But I have heard some stories
of like other guys and like, yeah, I go to
work and like they're my coworker, you know, I go
and we do what you need to do and you're
still working.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
But I just think it's got to.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Be way less enjoyable when you're not there just ragging
on each other like brothers do.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
How often outside of football do you'all spend time with
each other.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
Since we've had since we've all had more kids, it's
got it's gone down significantly. It would help if Brandon
would move up north with where the rest of us are,
But uh, I mean we definitely.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
We probably do.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
So then like every couple of weeks with each other,
and then in the off season where we go golf
together and just do like we're My wife will give
me crap. You're like, oh, you want to go and
hang out with the guys that you just spent seven
hours with today, and like rather than hanging out with
your family, like you're.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Invited to, rather than me and these two little babies.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Yeah right, yeah, but like you're invited to.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
She's like, well, then I just end up watching the
kids all you guys hang out.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
So everybody who watches The Hard Knocks NFC, he said,
anybody watching that, anybody watching that series.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Nobody's watching that series.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
So there's a scene last week where you and you
and Anger are at the Aubrey's house having dinner with
mister and missus Aubrey.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Where were your wives?
Speaker 6 (40:54):
My wife was in the back room watching the kids,
watching the kids. So, like I said, I just thought that.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Yeah, I mean Brian's wife was out of town. She
was at a wedding. Okay, so she gets.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
A pass my my wife that the kids, as we
were discussing the appreciow my I have a three and
a half year old, and that's not exactly conducive to
getting good audio while you're filming for Hard Knocks. So
they went and my kids went and played with Brandon's
son and in the back room and we did our filming.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Well you could have done. What was it two weeks ago?
We had Logan Wilson.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Oh yeah, and his daughter is eighteen months. She was adorable,
cutest thing you ever saw, and she was ubiquitous. I
just thought that was great. And so do you ever
have a crossword the three of you?
Speaker 5 (41:47):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Yeah, for sure, Oh you do. Like serious, I mean.
Speaker 6 (41:50):
I want to say serious, but like I said, we're
all competitors.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, I'm not talking about just you know, beating on
a guy, because that's what guys do. I'm talking about
like I'm mad at you.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Yeah, but like not not ever over football. It's like
more we we have like competition Thursdays where we come
up with these ridiculous games and there's there's always some
like really.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Really crazy rule rule like and just somebody tend to
try to skirt those rules.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
I'm not going to mention anything.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
I won't say who, but but it rhymes with he's
definitely the oldest guy in the room. But so there
there is a lot of like we try to call
each other out games, just talk talking crap.
Speaker 6 (42:38):
And then every now and then, every now and then
there'll be like a little.
Speaker 5 (42:42):
Bit of like, oh, you're folded and just going back
and forth.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
What kind of games are you competing?
Speaker 6 (42:46):
Usually it's some version version of like bachi ball.
Speaker 5 (42:52):
It's like where you got where you got a ball?
I'm just like, all right, there's a smart right here.
We're all going to throw the ball.
Speaker 6 (42:57):
Whoever ends up closest to it wins. So we'll do
like we'll do that with like football's the other day.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
We did it.
Speaker 6 (43:04):
We had a football of basketball, a medicine ball, a
pylon die and.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
These were the things you were throwing a golf all.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
Yeah. So it's like and we had to get them
all to the land in the middle of the star,
and you got a point if it was in the.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Star inside the Ford Center. Yes, Oh, where's the camera
crew on that?
Speaker 5 (43:22):
We told them to go away?
Speaker 6 (43:23):
But uh, but so like that. Or we'll throw a
football and try to hit a crossbar. Or one of
my favorite ones is we make like a little impromptu
golf course and we'll roll a football and like in
the weight room, and the ground's really hard, so it
rolls forever, so it's really hard to get it to
like actually go where you want it to. And so
(43:46):
it's just a bunch of stuff like that, and it's like, oh,
this should count, this shouldn't count.
Speaker 5 (43:49):
And then we get.
Speaker 6 (43:50):
All heated and we're and we all stick to our
guns whether we're right or wrong, and just dig our
heels in.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
So you guys really do have too much time.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
It seems like you'll have a lot of fun together.
Speaker 5 (43:59):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6 (44:01):
I mean it's nothing that lasts more than twenty four hours,
you know, But every now and then I'll.
Speaker 5 (44:05):
Go home Curly Bryant cheated today.

Good evening, Trent. My name's rambow Sock.
Speaker 11 (48:28):
The movie well Unfortunately, I have no money, no fame,
just the name. So with the Texas high school landscape
in regards to football, would you ever consider, possibly in
the next life coaching high school football here in Texas?
Speaker 6 (48:48):
That is something I've actually been tossing around in my
head a little bit. I have zero want to coach
in the college and NFL level, but I could definitely
see myself doing something like helping out specialists in the
area in the area, like I've done some lessons with
high schoolers already, but I could definitely see myself like
helping out with special teams or something at one of
high schools I lived close to, and especially if my
(49:11):
son's gone through it and love to be a part
of something like that.
Speaker 3 (49:14):
And why would you not want to do that at
the college or a professional.
Speaker 5 (49:17):
Level, because it's way too many hours. They they they
put their they put their work in. All hats off
to them, it's it's it's a lot of film, a
lot more film than I want to watch. How much
do you watch?
Speaker 6 (49:30):
I mean, I'll watch like the Rushes and get a
good idea of what the team are coming up against
for the week, but usually there's like twenty ish rushes
or and then like I'll watch some field goal maybe
if they have a good guy, just to be aware of.
But it's definitely not strenuous. It's maybe like an hour
a week that I really have to look at it.
Speaker 5 (49:51):
I've gotten gotten to a point where I played long
enough that there's only so many ways to rush your punt,
and games kind of slowed down a little bit. So
it's more being aware of personnel than anything.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
You started.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
You signed with the Ravens, correct right, initially out of
Colorado State free agent, and then then you went to
the Raiders who were in their last year in Oakland,
and what were there?
Speaker 4 (50:16):
Three years? Four years?
Speaker 5 (50:17):
Well? I did two in Oakland and three in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
Yeah, so five with the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
So the reason I'm asking that is, at what point
in there did you start to think, oh, my.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Dad was right, this was the thing to do.
Speaker 5 (50:28):
I mean, when the first paycheck hit.
Speaker 4 (50:32):
Fair enough?
Speaker 12 (50:33):
Well, Trent Larry from McKinney, Hey Larry, myself and all
the fans worldwide wishing you and the other players Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (50:41):
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well.
Speaker 12 (50:42):
What can you remember as far as going back to
when you were growing up, your most favorite churchable Christmas moment?
And do you share those traditions with your family now?
Speaker 4 (50:53):
Love that.
Speaker 6 (50:55):
Really we used to always just go to my grandma's
house and she'd have her holiday ham and she was
actually a.
Speaker 5 (51:01):
Hamlofe that she would make, and.
Speaker 6 (51:03):
That was like our our go to thing and just
really just having gosh, how many probably like twenty plus
people around and just all the chaos that the that
comes with that and just being around that, I'd say that,
and we still, like, I've got the recipe from my
grandma to so we make hamloaf whenever it was our
Easter and our Christmas meal, so we still keep that going.
Speaker 4 (51:26):
And and by the way, you mean your wife.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
Yeah exactly, my wife and I supervise you.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
Reader the recipe, yeah exactly.
Speaker 6 (51:34):
So yeah, just the chaos of the family, that's the
best part.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
Thanks Larry.
Speaker 5 (51:39):
Hello, my name is Angela.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
I was wondering what's your favorite mealty after a long game.
What a great question and right at dinner time, and.
Speaker 4 (51:48):
So great, thank you.
Speaker 6 (51:51):
It's it's really tough to beat a good rabbi and
some mac and cheese.
Speaker 5 (51:54):
That's that's usually my go to.
Speaker 4 (51:56):
Now, what do you read for pre game and when so.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
I usually I'm trying to think of the timeline here.
Speaker 6 (52:04):
So on Sunday, our bus left at eight thirty, so
I ate breakfast at eight o'clock. And regardless of the
time of the day, I always eat the same thing,
which isn't always my favorite thing. I'll always have like
a filet and and some pasta and like some fruit
just to make sure I get a good car blow
it's some protein there because I'm big on or when
(52:28):
I have food in my stomach, I can I definitely
feel it. So I and then I don't eat again
until the game's over.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
So go from essentially eight thirty.
Speaker 6 (52:38):
Until when it was the game over three thirty four o'clock.
Speaker 5 (52:41):
Yeah, yeah, just just water between them.
Speaker 4 (52:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
And so I think I interrupted you a big steak
after the game.
Speaker 6 (52:51):
Yeah yeah, steak and steak and mac and cheese is
just the main go too.
Speaker 7 (52:56):
Do you like your steak well done or a medium?
Speaker 5 (52:58):
No? I enjoy my steak, So I go.
Speaker 4 (53:03):
Just in case you like it well done.
Speaker 12 (53:04):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Okay, I'm gonna try to squeeze in two questions.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
Okay, sure, Brand asked you earlier, what was a beadd
snap to you. But is there a best nap?
Speaker 5 (53:14):
What is the best nap to your coaches?
Speaker 1 (53:16):
And is there times when you come out the field
they're waiting for you to coach you up?
Speaker 6 (53:22):
I'd say, well, it's a discussion that we have throughout,
especially learning a new coach, where we were like, all right,
this is the expectation, this is where the ball should be.
And I'd say, for the most part, were where.
Speaker 5 (53:32):
We should be.
Speaker 6 (53:34):
And it's kind of dependent on the coach on if
they're going to say something to you on game day.
Like when I was with the Raiders, I was with
coach Masata love him, but man, he would get after you.
Speaker 5 (53:44):
If it was bad.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
And Rich was here, Yeah, Rich love Rich and he
and Rich is involved.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
Yes and uh.
Speaker 6 (53:52):
And like with Bones and Nick, they've been a lot
more like unless something really needs to be said, Like
first thing, I come come back and do Brandon watches
my staff for me and he.
Speaker 5 (54:04):
Tells me where it is and I usually have a
good feeling just based off of the feel of the release, So.
Speaker 6 (54:11):
Nothing needs to be said to me at this point,
Like I'm probably my toughest critic.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Secondly, a lot of a lot of fans don't know
who their long snapper is.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
We do, that's right, But I don't know if you
can answer this, but who is the backup.
Speaker 5 (54:29):
Long snap as it's either Ferg or Hunter depending on
how the competition goes for the week. They each get
one snap during the week. It's like it's like a
live snap, and it's kind of like, okay, if we
have to get out of it, who do we feel
more comfortable with so? And they've both been getting better
so or like they have one competition snap, then we'll
(54:51):
get a few more after practice. But that competition snap
is like the put a little bit of pressure on it,
and yeah, just see see whoever?
Speaker 6 (54:59):
Like, all right, Trent goes down, we got to make
a kick?
Speaker 5 (55:02):
Who's up?
Speaker 4 (55:03):
Lippy does everything. He's a Swiss army knife.
Speaker 5 (55:06):
He's crazy.
Speaker 4 (55:07):
I've called him that. Yeah, yeah, it's exactly absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
So I've seen that players normally like pick up golfing
in their free time, like Solomon Thomas likes watching Broadway shows.
Speaker 4 (55:18):
What hobbies have you picked up outside of football? That's
what I'm talking.
Speaker 6 (55:21):
I was really into video games for about three years
ago until about three three and a half years ago,
when my son was born. But uh, I've definitely gotten
more into golf here in the last couple of years too,
And it was a terrible time to get into golf
because that was after my son was born. And now
instead of me disappearing into my room for an hour
(55:42):
to play video games, I'm gone for five hours to golf.
Speaker 5 (55:44):
So yeah, golf is definitely my hobby right now.
Speaker 4 (55:48):
And Banger likes to play golf.
Speaker 6 (55:50):
Yes, yeah, Banger and Brandon just got the bug this
offseason too, so three of us are going out there.
Speaker 5 (55:55):
Getting after it.
Speaker 6 (55:55):
And Brandon is just a natural athlete, so he's already
better than me.
Speaker 8 (55:59):
Who's better?
Speaker 12 (55:59):
Who's the best?
Speaker 7 (56:00):
At y'all?
Speaker 6 (56:01):
Brian is when nobody's around, but he can't handle the heat.
Speaker 5 (56:06):
I don't know. He shoots really good when none of
us are with him, but he.
Speaker 7 (56:10):
Just comes back and tells y'all reports, yeah exactly.
Speaker 6 (56:13):
But but I mean, he's definitely the best. But according
to him, he's really the best. But it's like it's
kind of like and it's probably Brian and then me
or Brandon depending on the day.
Speaker 3 (56:25):
That's the music that says, we got thirty seconds left,
so use ten of them to tell us the best
Christmas person you ever got?
Speaker 5 (56:32):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 6 (56:36):
Seconds, I got a snowboard when I when I was
like eight years old, and that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (56:42):
Trent Sig wish him happy Thursday and Merry Christmas. Thank you, appreciate,
thank you, thank you all. Merry Christmas everybody. Nicole and
I will be back for our final show of the
year next week on The Cowboys Hour.
