He clearly has a predetermined canned response for all situations. When a question is asked he pushes play and the words come out.
He's basically Siri.

Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett hasn’t talked to DT Josh Brent since he was released from jail, has ‘no idea’ of his physical shape

OXNARD, Calif. — Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Thursday that he believes former defensive tackle Josh Brent “still has football ahead of him,” but wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s with the Cowboys.
However, Brent has intentions of not only returning to the NFL but also rejoining the Cowboys after retiring in July 2013. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has left the door open for Brent as well.
Garrett said he has had no contact with Brent since he was released from jail June 15. Garrett, however, has stayed in touch with Jerry Brown’s mother, Stacey Jackson, who lives in Illinois.
Brent was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years of probation in January after being convicted of intoxication manslaughter for the December 2012 crash that killed friend and teammate Jerry Brown Jr., a practice squad linebacker. Brent was released from jail June 15 and allowed to spend the final 45 days of his jail sentence in rehabilitation.
On Tuesday, Brent was released from rehab in Dallas. Asked Thursday what kind of shape Brent is in, Garrett said, “I have no idea.”
Garrett said Brent has to continue to get his life back in order off the field before moving on to football.
“He has obviously gone through a really difficult time,” Garrett said. “I can’t even begin to imagine what he’s been feeling since that night a couple of years ago. All the different things he’s gone through. He needs to know we support him as a person first and foremost. We want to help him get his life back on track.
“We want to support him as a person first and foremost. I do believe he is a football player and that he has football ahead of him. But first things first, we want to make sure he gets his feet on the ground as person and in society and he needs to know we support him as an organization and individually as players and coaches.”
The year after Brown was killed in December 2012, Garrett said he has thought about Brown often and he’s checked in with Brown’s mother at least every month, also calling her on Mother’s Day and Brown’s birthday in mid-October.
That has continued, Garrett said.

Josh Brent working with Michael Irvin, Nate Newton, staying with Cowboys confidant David Wells

Josh Brent will be ushered along the road back to the Cowboys defensive line from an intoxication manslaughter conviction by familiar names – Michael Irvin and Nate Newton.
The next step before Brent’s possible reinstatement is a meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
The meeting has not yet been scheduled.
Released on Tuesday from Enterhealth, an alcohol and drug treatment center in Van Alstyne, Brent is working out in an area fitness center. He has moved into the home of David Wells, the former bail bondsman who has become a key cog in working with troubled Cowboys.
Wells is optimistic that Brent will be reinstated and playing this season.
“No one has shown more remorse than Josh,” Wells said. “He is genuine and he has gone above everything required of him.”
Brent is staying in the same bedroom in Wells’ house that once was home to.
It is Wells who has enlisted Irvin and Newton, themselves former troubled Cowboys, as key members in the support team he has assembled to help Brent.
Another key Brent supporter on Wells’ team is Stacey Jackson, mother of the late Jerry Brown Jr.
