Speaker 1: really break down this this Cowboys loss. We we kind

13
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: of had the emotional reaction yesterday to the twenty five

14
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: to three loss to the Washington football team on Sunday.

15
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: We had the emotional reaction. Now we have the logical

16
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: reaction whenever it goes into Tuesday. And by logical I

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: mean just basically we're going to think about it a

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: little bit more than than just letting it ride with

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah just being completely emotional and it was emotional. Yeah,

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: it seemed like it was irrational. Isaiah don't deal with emotions.

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: That's he's only sexual never ever, ever, Yeah, ok, yeah,

22
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: that's my wife shall tell you. Hey, we got some

23
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: some emotion from Jerry Jones on the fan just now, Yes,

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: we did. With Rob Would you like to kind of

25
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: go into what happened there because he was he was

26
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: in not the best mood this morning. He was a

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: little testy, a little testy about the question from Sean

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and RJ about the leadership on the team right now

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: and as they're a void, and he got a little

30
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: testy about that one. And that's okay, you know. He

31
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: apologized to Sean at the end and said, look, this

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: is basically this is a tough time right now, and

33
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: it's a tough time for our fans. I think fans

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: needed to hear that this is this is a rough stretch.

35
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: This is as rough as stretch, guys as I can

36
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: remember since maybe twenty ten when they got they got

37
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: blown out in a bunch of games leading up to

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: a coaching change. And that's not going to happen here.

39
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: They're not that's not happening here. Obviously it's here one

40
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy there. They have the utmost confidence in him,

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: but just it has that kind of hopeless feeling right

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: now until they can get out of this and with

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: the injuries, it's going to be hard to do it now.

44
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Whenever it comes to Jerry and his reaction, like you,

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned it a moment ago that it's something that

46
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: the fans kind of kind of want to hear. You

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: want to hear frustration out of your football team. And Isaiah,

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: you both you and Heckma talked to a yesterday about

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: the passion and finding a pride factor whenever it comes

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: to winning football games and stepping up and doing your job.

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: But whenever you're hearing that from the owner, is that

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: encouraging to you or is it just another morale win

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: or a morale boost. I guess you could say from

54
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: a team that's just itching for any kind of boost.

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: I mean, from the players perspective, I don't put any

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: extra on it. Right from the fans perspective, I think

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: it's encouraging for sure. I can only imagine a frustration

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: that Jerry has and his entire team, you know, with

59
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: the start that this team has had. They put in

60
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: a lot of work this offseason, and I think we've

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: we've made that very clear. We agree that they made

62
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: a lot of strategic moves, a lot of things that

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: look great on paper that as ownership, as management, you

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: expect to really come through for you, and it just

65
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: hasn't come through. So, you know, when you have those expectations,

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: when you've done your work, when you've done your job,

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: and then the players get out there and don't do

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: it there, I would think that you would be a

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit testy as he was today.

70
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Whenever it comes to doing the same thing, whenever it

71
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: comes from an ownership perspective, do you put extra I

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: guess factor into it? Do you put extra val you

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: into it? Whenever it comes from Jerry Jones, well, I

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: love to hear Jerry's, you know, voice, his frustration about

75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the way things are going right now. I think everybody

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: is frustrated. They can't believe they're what they're seeing on Sundays.

77
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: But Jerry's not gonna put on a helmet and go

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: out there and make this right. And so for the

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: guys that are on this team, they realize that they're

80
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: putting out a lot of bad tape, and everybody right

81
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: now can go back and see a lot of plays

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: just not being played being made. Excuse me, guy's missing assignments.

83
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: It's not It's not a good place to be. And

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: now people can you can deal with your team losing,

85
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: because I don't think that anyone expected this season to

86
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: be the seventy two Dolphins. But when guys just are

87
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: not giving any effort at all, and when you know,

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: if you're coming on a stunt and it's just as

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: slow as it possibly can be on blitz and you're

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: missing things, that's all on the coaching staff and these players.

91
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: And so I appreciate Jerry going on one of five

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: point through the fan and being frustrated with those questions

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: that he was being asked. But at the end of

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: the day, it's going to be up to these players

95
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: to get this corrected. Whenever it comes to going to

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: the next level and finding another way to find that

97
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: pride and to find that energy, I don't know where

98
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: it starts. And honestly, on the defensive side of football,

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: you just might be bad. Offensively, you might just be

100
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: banged up. There are a couple different excuses Jerry alluded

101
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: to all of those in the interview, and that was

102
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: a bit frustrating, I think for every Cowboys fan. But Rob,

103
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: whenever you look at it now and you move into

104
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: what is now week eight of the season, you're going

105
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: up against Philadelphia. Who has to step up whenever it

106
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: comes to a pride fact or whenever it comes to

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: finding a way to take reins of this team. Is

108
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: it the coaching staff or is it some of these

109
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: veteran leaders with the bigger contracts. Well, I think it

110
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: starts with the players. I think what Tank said after

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: the game is exactly what needs to happen. There's got

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: to be more belief from the team that when things

113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: go wrong they can dig out of it. Now, to

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: your point, Kyle, especially offensively, there reaches a point with injuries,

115
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: and it's that it's not an excuse. It's just a

116
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: simple fact of being out outmatched, and they were outmatched

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: in that game. Especially when Andy Dalton goes down and

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: you've already got a lot of guys compromise on the

119
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. It really affects the way you can function.

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: That's just a simple fact of it. Especially when you

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: get behind. Turnovers don't help. The safety doesn't help. That's

122
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: been a big problem this year. That has to get

123
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: cleaned up. But yeah, there's got to be guys have

124
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: to continue playing with confidence no matter what happens. If

125
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: they don't, then it's just going to continue to snowball.

126
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: And I think what they really need more than anything,

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: they need a takeaway on defense. They need something to

128
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: spark the defense. I think they're I think they're tied

129
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: for the fewest takeaways in the league this year with

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: three I believe maybe four um And that's been a

131
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: continuing problem for years. It hasn't changed this year. But

132
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: they need that. They need something to spark the defense,

133
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need something to help this offense because

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: right now we have to operate under under the assumption

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: that Ben de Nucci's the quarterback this week. Unless Andy

136
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Dalton can get out of concussion protocol swiftly, it's been

137
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: de Nucci's team. And that's a lot to ask on

138
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: the road in Philly for a first career start man.

139
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire,

140
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: my goodness, yeah talking yeah, no, Ick, my go for it. No,

141
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: I want to piggyback off of what Rob said, because

142
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: that's big old facts right there, Rob Phillis, because this

143
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: defense needs something to feel good about. They have nothing.

144
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: And you know that first drive, Yeah, you know m

145
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: last Sunday that you're getting that stop on the one.

146
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be the thing to galvanize the defense.

147
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Although they took with the whole length of the field.

148
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: They need something. They need something where, you know, whether

149
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: it be an interception, whether it be locking a number

150
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: one receiver down, stopping doing something. They have nothing at

151
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: all to hang their hat on um offensively for this

152
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: decimated offensive line. It's gonna come down to just establishing

153
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: something right now. In the absence of Dak Prescott. I

154
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: think since he's been out, we haven't I believe that

155
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: the numbers are and I don't want to say this wrong,

156
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: that we haven't scored any what ten thirteen points uh

157
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: since since Dak's absence. So that's not acceptable and there

158
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: has to be a way to get all of these

159
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: things back on track, even with the injuries that we have.

160
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: Is Zah, Yeah. I think. I mean for me, it's

161
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: it's they win big one big play from every phase

162
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: of the game, right we need a big play on

163
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: offense to establish a confidence in the entire offensive line,

164
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: the receiver cord, the entire coaching staff that this unit

165
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: that's out there can actually make some plays. So you

166
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: need one big play that obviously results in a touchdown,

167
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: something major. Then on the special team side of the things,

168
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: you need you need something major as well. You need

169
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: a block kick, You need a punt return block for

170
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: a return. You need something that really spikes it again

171
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: that gets to energy and a morale going. And then

172
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, we gotta have

173
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: a takeaway. Right, It'd be awesome if we have a strip, sack,

174
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: scoop score. Right, If we can have something major from

175
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: all three phases of the game in one game, I

176
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: think that everybody will look at each other and say, crap,

177
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: we're not too dog on bad, you know what I'm saying.

178
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: We we can figure this thing out. But I think

179
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: if just having one thing go right in one phase

180
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: of the game, I think is really gonna It's gonna

181
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: leave everybody up for a question and say, Okay, well,

182
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: our weas announce was to look at these guys and

183
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: make plays for us instead of everybody. And we need

184
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: all three fasts working together now, just to play devil's

185
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: advocate here. Of course, during the Giants game, you did

186
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: get one of those plays. You've got the strip sack

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: and the fumble recovery and it was returned for a

188
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: touchdown by Anthony Brown. So you had one of those plays.

189
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: But then you also, let's say, let's take it to Washington,

190
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: you had a special teams play that was actually what

191
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: resulted in the three points was just because Tony Poller

192
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: got down the field and had the sixty seven yard

193
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: kick return. So you've had a couple of these flash plays.

194
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: But are you saying you have to string them together

195
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: or is one good enough to finally turn them a

196
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: round around on this football team, now, I think you

197
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: need to string them together. And I know that's a

198
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: lot to ask, but it's something that's definitely doable. Like

199
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: you said, we've been seeing flashes of it, a little

200
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: a little taste of it, but we need all three

201
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: fasts to come together. And the reason being because it

202
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: brings your team together. It makes it feel as if

203
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: not one one unit won the game for you. One

204
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: one unit puts you in a position to win the game.

205
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: When you're able to look at everybody who touches the field,

206
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: all the special teamers, all the guys on defense, all

207
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: the guys on offense, and say hey, I played a

208
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: part in something major today. I think it has it

209
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: has a big effect now, kind of going to change

210
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: the subject here, just based off of the banged up

211
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: offensive line and of course what we're dealing with in

212
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: terms of in terms of Andy Dalton and him getting

213
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: knocked out in the third quarter, rob we heard yesterday

214
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: from Mike McCarthy that Andy Dalton is going to enter

215
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: h concussion protocol and he is going to be throughout

216
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: the week. He was not in team meetings yesterday, though

217
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: he was in the building. At this point, you've got

218
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: to have Ben de Nucci ready either way to play

219
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: quarterback right now? Is it? Is it enough to galvanize

220
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: and to find a way to rally around a seventh

221
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: round rookie and Ben Denucci this week and give him

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: the resources necessary to be successful on Sunday should he

223
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback? They got no choice, They have

224
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: no choice if that's the case. And uh yeah, I

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: mean we'll see on Andy. I know, I know they've

226
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: said that it's his it's his first concussion, So I

227
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: don't know if that means typically that's a longer you know,

228
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: you're more careful or I don't you're you're the same

229
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: level careful every time. But I don't know if that's

230
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: it takes longer through the protocol with the first concussion

231
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: or not. I don't know if that's significant, but I think, yeah,

232
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: they have to operate under the assumption as they moved

233
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: through the week that Bendanusci, when you put a game

234
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: plan together, he's gonna be your starter. And maybe that

235
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: changes by the end of the week, but they Yes.

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: I think I said the same thing though, when when

237
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: Dalton came in, that you've got to when your backup

238
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: quarterback comes in, and it's the same thing for your

239
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: third string quarterback. Everybody has to raise their level of play,

240
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: you know. I think Isaiah spoke to this before the

241
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals game that Dalton's not supposed to be the reason

242
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: you win or lose games. It's got to be guys,

243
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: receivers doing more to make themselves quarterback friendly. It's the

244
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: run game, it's the offensive line. Defensively, it's making something happen,

245
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: just like we talked about, and defensively to piggyback on

246
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: what you guys said. It is stringing it together. It's

247
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: not always got to be just big splash plays, but

248
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: it's got to be down after down, just your assignments,

249
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: just the simple part of your assignments. I know that

250
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan said, you know, a couple of games ago

251
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, they had about thirty plays to start

252
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: the game where it was, it was solid, it was

253
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: good enough, then went south. And that's the problem. They

254
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: haven't been consistent on defensive or really in any area

255
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: for an entire game. Until they do that, no matter

256
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: who they're playing, they're gonna have trouble winning football games. Hema, yeah.

257
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: I think Asaiah has said it before about you know,

258
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: teams during the week in their preparation for games and

259
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: guys not getting those first team reps. And so for me,

260
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: if if we're saying that Andy Dalton is in concussion protocol,

261
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: he's in the building, but he's not taking those reps,

262
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: and I believe that tomorrow as an indicator on whether

263
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: he'll be able to play. But if that's the case,

264
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: then bender Nucci is your guy, and you're right back

265
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: to square one with some of your issues that you

266
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: have before and that's your receivers being in rhythm with

267
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: your quarterback. And now we have a seven rookie quarterback,

268
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: so that there's got to be heightened awareness for what

269
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the playbook is, what the play call is going to

270
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: be for him, our game plan is going to be.

271
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Is what I'm trying to say for being in the

272
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: Nucci because this is a this is a situation where

273
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys being down to our third string quarterback

274
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: and an offensive line that is not getting giving us

275
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot of protection, where do we go. We

276
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: want to go to the running game, But in the

277
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: last seven games, guys, we hadn't had any any spark

278
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: at all from the running game or anything to tell

279
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: us that that's something that we can rely on. So

280
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: we keep talking feedsique, feed you know, polar just get

281
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: some balance, but we're not able to get that compliment

282
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: for our quarterbacks that are coming in that need those

283
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: things in order to be successful. Now those are facts, man,

284
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't and I know I really shouldn't say that

285
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: any don't's gonna be fine. But you know, I've been

286
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: knocked out before and it's not that bad. No, No,

287
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I've had a concussion before I've had my

288
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: share of him, but here I feel like it's if

289
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: he'll be back. But you know, obviously we have to

290
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: watch what the medical crew does. Those guys are amazing.

291
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: But if it is the Nucci, right, if it is

292
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: the Nucci um, then he he's like and there's there's

293
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: no questions about it. I mean, it's not the situation

294
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: that you want, but it is what it is. I mean,

295
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's what you have to do in

296
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: this league. You face your your You handled all cards

297
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: that you're given, right, whatever cars you're dealt, you deal

298
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: with them. You don't make any excuses you steered. Your

299
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: job is still to go out there and do your

300
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: assignment and get victories, no matter who's in a position

301
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: of quarterback, no matter who's leading this team. You know,

302
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: And that's a great point because that's one of our

303
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: actual fan on the fifty questions that I want to

304
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: address when we come back after this break. But what

305
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: is going on whenever it comes to the depth of

306
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: this team. We were told off all off season long

307
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,040

Speaker 1: the fifty almost forgot it. Chris Beam got in my

354
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: ear and said, hey, listen, you gotta you gotta have

355
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: the sounder. The fans need the sounder, and I completely agree.

356
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: So once again, every Tuesday nine fifty, we're gonna answer

357
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: your fan questions and pull the pull up the Twitter

358
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: and the periscope stream. So send those in if you

359
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: haven't already. Which one do I want to go with first? Okay,

360
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: so we're gonna start things off. Oh yeah, there's there's

361
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: a good amount of them. But let's go with Jeff

362
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: Proctor first. And this kind of sounds like a it

363
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: looks like a bit of a sarcastic question, but I'm

364
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna ask it in a real way. If the Cowboys

365
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: are going to trade players or player why not put

366
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: actual players on the trading block that you could get

367
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: a couple picks or another player for rob and and

368
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: basically I think he's alluding to the Don Taripo and

369
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: Daryl Worley being reports of him being on the trade block.

370
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: But I'm turning it around to actual where would you

371
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: go in terms of actual players that could get something

372
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: at this point. We love Jeff, Jeff never misses as

373
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: a show, never, but I gotta disagree with it. I

374
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: gotta disagree with Jeff. I mean, you're you're at the

375
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, as bad as things are, You're

376
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: a half game out of first place with nine games left.

377
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: So I know it's bad. We watched it. We haven't

378
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: missed the snap it's been. It's been really bad. But

379
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: the season's not over. And that's the Cowboys are are

380
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: in this business to win football games and win divisions

381
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: and give yourself a chance to win a championship. So

382
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: if you have that opportunity, you have to go play

383
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: for it. If you've got guys on your roster that

384
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: can help you this season, you don't. You don't tank.

385
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't think any team in the league tanks. I

386
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: really don't, especially this season. I think there's an opportunity

387
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: for everybody, as weird as this year is, to at

388
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: least try to get in the tournament. And so that's

389
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: what they're going to try to do. Okay, follow up

390
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: question going away from any Oh, I'm sorry I was

391
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: gonna say, follow up question. I'm asking it to you.

392
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: Heck much. So with that being said, and you're talking

393
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: about don't tank because of the opportunities that lie I had,

394
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: especially in the NFC East, does this also play a

395
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: factor in terms of the evaluation prospect of process of

396
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: these draft picks and how tough it's going to be

397
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: to evaluate a slew of these big time draft picks

398
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: that are at the top of the board because of

399
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: them either opting out of the college football season or

400
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: not playing a full college football season. Well, I mean,

401
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: the top dogs in the draft, you know what they

402
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: can do, and you know it's as far as the

403
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: evaluation process of our own team, that's what I'm basically

404
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: looking at. I'm looking at who's giving up. I'm looking

405
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 1: at who's gonna be here next year. Guys that are

406
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: under contract, Guys that you know that we brought in.

407
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: What are you giving us? Because if the perception is

408
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: that all is lost and there's there's nothing to play for.

409
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: If your players reflecting that, I don't want you around.

410
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: And I'm definitely not even considering getting rid of any

411
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: guy that's we talked to us a name. Let's we've

412
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: heard people talk about Michael Gallup and potentially training him

413
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: for some draft picks. Hell no, no, that's no way. Well,

414
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: no that's not what that's not even no, So not

415
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: do that. And again, the evaluation process of everybody, everybody's

416
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: under the microscope, even the trainers. Zah, yeah, I mean

417
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: it's too early. Rob just said it and how I

418
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: alluded to it yesterday and people didn't like it because

419
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: you know how I take that emotion out of it.

420
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: But you know you're a half game back. You know

421
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: you're a half game back. Yeah, you're here to win

422
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: the division, right, that's step number one, Number one. Your

423
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: goal number one when you walk in for summer camp

424
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: is win the division. Boom. That's the goal. And that's

425
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: and that is attainable. It's attainable. I don't care if

426
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: you do it with with a with a five or

427
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: six win season. You get in the dog on game, right,

428
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. Get in the game, however you

429
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: do it. I don't care how ugly it is. If

430
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: you win a game, if you win a Super Bowl, right,

431
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: nobody cares about how ugly it was. You just care

432
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: about the fact that you walk away with a ring.

433
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: That's all that ultimately matters. So as bad as it is,

434
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: as Rob said, as bad as it is, you still

435
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: have a chance, and that's all you can ask for.

436
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: You hope, you put your hope in this team that

437
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. We got veterans coming back this week.

438
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: Hopefully we have some more coming back at the end

439
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: of the year. Hopefully these guys start playing well and

440
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: all this hope that we have, right, we put it

441
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: all together and we get a little hope, Samwich and

442
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: these guys can figure this thing out. And guess what,

443
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: there's there's still potential that these guys can go on

444
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: a run. And that's all they need. We've already got

445
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: people in the chat, Sandwich, right, Yeah, Well they're all

446
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: asking for for the for the draft show. That's the

447
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: hope Sandwich right now is is the draft up on

448
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: the horizon. But I don't think that's the case. Go

449
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: go for a Rob Can. I just add this last

450
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: bow on this because I appreciate fans man. They keep

451
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: us in business and they're going through a lot right now. Yeah,

452
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: this is no fun, I get it. But you can't

453
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: have it both ways, right. You can't accuse players of

454
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: quitting and not giving effort and the same breath saying

455
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: let's just play for next year, let's trade away for

456
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: picks and and do all that that. What type of

457
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: message does that send to the team, to the organization,

458
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: to the locker room. That's that's not the way to

459
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: go about it. And especially when you've got a new

460
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: coach that's trying to create a culture, a culture a

461
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: foundation for his program about grit and toughness and all

462
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: those things that Mike McCarthy has been about, you know,

463
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: all the way from growing up in Pittsburgh to being

464
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Green Bay Packers to now.

465
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: You can't send that message. You just can't do it,

466
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: no matter how bad things are, no matter how bleak

467
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: things look the rest of the season, you know. And

468
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: that's a fantastic point because one of the big reasons

469
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: why this is even a conversation is because you just lost,

470
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: right Well, if you just lost and you're wanting to tank.

471
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you be happy? Shouldn't you be wanting to I

472
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: mean that's the thing is, like, like you said, you

473
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: can't have it both ways. You can't go too and fourteen,

474
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: or at least be on that course to go too

475
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: and fourteen and then be unhappy with the production that's

476
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: on the field. There's no way that that's going to

477
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: happen regardless in this organization. I'll just let you know.

478
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: Let that be known. Now, you're not going to see

479
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: a tanking football team, especially when you're only a half

480
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: game out of first place and you have a chance

481
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 1: to make a playoff front and remain relevant. Even if

482
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: you go six and ten and when the NFC East,

483
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: you're still not going to necessarily see a tanking season

484
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: at least at this point. Now that's crazy. I say,

485
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: this question is for you. Yes, Kevin comes out here

486
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: and he asks, and he's another loyal, loyal listener. He said,

487
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: why haven't we signed Earl Thomas? Who? And I know

488
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: you want to sign Earl Thomas, So let it go, Kevin.

489
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Kevin's Kevin's putting saying on the spot, keV, I'll put

490
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: it like this, if my name was Jerry Jones, which

491
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: is not, which is not? It's definitely not Jerry. I

492
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: don't have those commas. UM, I would have been signed

493
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, and I think that's very as very apparent

494
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: on this show. I have made that very bundle league

495
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: clear that I would have signed him a long time ago.

496
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: And maybe that's just a personal thing because I know

497
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: the competitor that he is. UM. I know, I don't

498
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: know all the issues that they're referencing that people are

499
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: the reason why people are scared of him. I don't know.

500
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: I didn't experience that with my time with Earl U

501
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: as a teammate or as a friend. UM, I do

502
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: know that he is. He was one of the greatest

503
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: competitors that I've ever played with. And I know what

504
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: this team has been missing. I know what was a

505
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: question mark about this team at that particular position, and

506
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: I think that that that is still a question mark

507
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: for us. So I don't know why we haven't signed him. UM,

508
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't have an answer for you,

509
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: but I do know that it's not too late and

510
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: m and the things the same reasons why I wanted

511
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: to bring him on the team. You know, a month ago.

512
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: Are the same reasons why I think he would be

513
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: beneficial to not only the secondary, but then this entire

514
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: defense and its entirety. I like that answer. That's pretty

515
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: good over. I mean, that's a good explanations that you

516
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: would do it. But there's other factors and there's different

517
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: things that come into it that that definitely make it

518
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. I would entertain the option. It can't

519
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: really get much worse. So we kind of mentioned that

520
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: in a to yesterday. I think Rob made the joke

521
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: is like, whenever it comes to the locker room, when

522
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: is it couldn't get worse time with the locker room

523
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: at that? Yeah, just like, let's go ahead and figure

524
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: this out. Let's maybe it helps. I don't know, Uh,

525
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: this one comes from Jay or no, I take it back,

526
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: This is from Uh. I can't read the name. Okay,

527
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: so this is not Jay. It's another loyal listener though,

528
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: and he asked Quinn and Williams from the Jets defensive

529
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: tackle defensive lineman he's reportedly been shopped around this week.

530
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Heck Bun of course, with the need that you need

531
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: in terms of the interior defensive line. If he was

532
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: available for a second rounder. So this is the opposite

533
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: of tanking. This is adding talent and giving up a

534
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: draft pick to do so, would you entertain the option

535
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: of getting Quinn and Williams on this defensive line? Quinn

536
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: and Williams from Alabama is a future star in this

537
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: league if it was, I mean he was, he's a

538
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: top five pick. The Jets would trade him for a

539
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: second that, Yes, I would do it that. The answer

540
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: is yes, that, but I just absolutely don't see them

541
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: do that. Ye. Yeah. He was picked third overall in

542
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen drafts, so this is only his second year.

543
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: Goodness great, and they're already shopping this guy for a

544
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: second round pick. Had three sacks this season, had two

545
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: and a half a year ago, so it's not like

546
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: he's necessarily played up to that third round pick caliber.

547
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: But the fact that they're already shopping him, does that

548
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: give you any pause? Rob? Oh, we lost Rob. That's unfortunate,

549
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: but I think either way. One the reports are now

550
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: coming out Rich Simony from I don't know where he's from,

551
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: he's a Jets report. He said the Jets are not

552
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: shopping Quinn and Williams per league source, So at least

553
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: they're at least they're throwing it out there and then

554
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: they're reeling it back in at some point. But yeah,

555
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: there's a couple of different things with him. So Rob

556
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: is apparently back in the mix. Rob, Are you there, buddy?

557
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: Got you okay? Sweet? So we were talking about Quinn

558
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: and Williams and what he could potentially bring to a

559
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: defensive line if he's even available, but not even talking

560
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: about the players specifically. Would you be interested in adding

561
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: talent specifically on the defensive line in the middle of

562
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: this season, in the middle of this run. Yeah, I

563
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: mean I think yeah, just generally speaking, I think that

564
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: is the biggest issue they've got right now, because I

565
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: think Jerry alluded to it on the fan like five times,

566
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: the run defense, and I know we've talked about it

567
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot. It starts there because if you're not if

568
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: you're not sound there, you're on skates. You're allowing the

569
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: offense to dictate everything they want to do. Like Heckma said,

570
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: open their full playbook. And that's that's been the problem.

571
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: You know, when they're not getting a push or they're

572
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: getting washed out of plays, it's affecting the linebacker. It's

573
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: affecting everything and then you bring play action in the mix.

574
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: So I think, yes, I think that's probably the biggest

575
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: issue they've got. I said this yesterday though, when you're

576
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: talking about maybe adding someone through a trade, you've got

577
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: to be mindful of your salary cap because I don't

578
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: think you can get into a situation like you work

579
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: two years ago with Amari, who big time talent. It's

580
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: going to need a monster deal in a year or two,

581
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: and not only do you need to pay Dak, but

582
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: you need to, you know, just make room in your

583
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: salary cap because there's no question it's gonna drop. It's

584
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: either gonna be a flat cap or it's gonna drop

585
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: a little bit from what it is now, which is

586
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: close to two hundred million dollars, and nobody really knows.

587
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: So you've got to be really careful with what you

588
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: know your structure of your CAP's gonna look like. You

589
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: always hear about the pieces of the pie. You hear

590
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: about the pie and the salary cap and what you've

591
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: built at the moment. And final question before we get

592
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: into our third segment coming up here in just a

593
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit, but how would you grade Connor mcgunn's play

594
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. And Isaiah, we'll start with

595
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: you and then go back around the table in terms

596
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: of what you guys have seen from Connor McGovern coming

597
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: in at that right guard spot in the absence of

598
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: Zack Martin. Be honest with you, I haven't done my

599
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: my deep dive in on him specifically. I've more soul

600
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: looked at the offensive line as a whole um, so

601
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't be the one to speak delivery on him.

602
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: Offensive line as a whole not good. So we've got

603
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: that grade down. Heck have you have you looked a

604
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: little bit at at Connor McGovern Heck, yeah, I have.

605
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: And and you know, I didn't think he gave up

606
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: any He didn't give up a sack, he didn't give

607
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: up a pressure. I mean he's he had a pretty

608
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: solid game in the midst of it. I mean the

609
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: guy on the other side of him, he may want

610
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: to take a look at him and get him some

611
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: more help. I don't know what they have to do

612
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: for Tara Steel. He was just out match U. And

613
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: I know we're talking about mcgovernor. Just Tara Steel popped

614
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: in my head right there. But you know mcgovernor has

615
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: played mcgovernor has played played well beyond Chazz as well.

616
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, man, when we say on the scale of

617
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: one to ten, ten being absolutely wonderful, this, no, we're

618
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: not at ten. But you know, I think his high

619
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: six seven is doing pretty good right now. Then you

620
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: also look at the Yeah, I think given, go for it, Rob,

621
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, Sorry, Kyle Well, I just yeah. I mean,

622
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, given what they're dealing with upfront, it's it

623
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been good all the way around. I think the

624
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: tackle spots were probably the spots that really struggled the

625
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: most in the game, containing those edges, which isn't a

626
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: surprise when you're talking about Chase Young and Montes Sweat. Yes,

627
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: I think I think he's played. You know, he's been solid.

628
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: I guess given the fact what you know, what they're facing,

629
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: in the fact that there's not veteran really guys around him.

630
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: But you know, I think you'd like to get Zach

631
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: back in there. I don't know, you know, I know

632
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: that people are gonna ask about it, kicking Zach to tackle,

633
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that's something they would consider.

634
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: I think if they go through the valuation. They feel

635
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: good about mcgovernment guard. Maybe it's something you consider because

636
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: I think Zach can play anywhere and can really help

637
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: steal off one of those edge spots. Now, that's an

638
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: interesting conversation whenever you talk about the depth, and we've

639
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: talked about switched up the offensive line, but Connor McGovern

640
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: never really was in that conversation. We never really knew

641
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: what he brought to the table. We didn't know what

642
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: kind of stability he brought. And at least at the moment,

643
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: he's the third highest graded pass protector on the Cowboys

644
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: this season seventy six point eight. According to Pro Football Focus.

645
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: He's thirty fifth of seventy seven guards in the NFL,

646
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: which is not too bad compared to especially what you're

647
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: seeing with guys like guys like a Terrence Steele, who's

648
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: sixty seventh of seventy three tackles at the moment on

649
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. So you've got some stability, it seems

650
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: like with Connor McGovern as a backup. So if he's

651
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: in there and he's playing guard, and then you also

652
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: get Joe Looney back, why not throw Zack Martin out

653
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: the tackle and allow him to maybe try and sure

654
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: up that right side a little bit more at least

655
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: than we've seen from Terrence Steel so far this season.

656
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: So as always, it's un of fun answering the fans

657
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: on the fifty questions. We'll bring that back, of course

658

Speaker 1: Friday coming up this week whenever we preview the Philadelphia

660

Speaker 1: Eagles and these Dallas Cowboys. When we come back, where

661
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: is the blame in terms of the rostered instability following

662
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: the starters? Will address that when we return here on

710
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: I've got a fans on the fifty question as a

711
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan myself talking to three experts. Whenever it comes

712
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: to this franchise, in this organization top to bottom. Where

713
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: do you put the blame in terms of this football

714
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: team not having any depth? And we mentioned it earlier

715
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: with training camp and where this team was built for depth,

716
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: which on paper it absolutely was. You looked at it

717
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: whenever it came to the corner spot. You had a

718
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, you had an Anthony Brown, but you also

719
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: had a Trayvon Diggs, and a Cheetah Awoozier and a

720
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: Darrel Warley at the time. We had hahak Linton Dicks

721
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: at one point. I mean, we had guys that were

722
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: veterans that had seemingly had to added depth. We had

723
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: Donetary Poe upfront, and of course Jerald McCoy got hurt.

724
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm not even mentioning Jerald McCoy, but there are so

725
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: many of these layers that it seemed like, on paper

726
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna work out, but they didn't. Is it time

727
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: to start, not necessarily even just pointing it at the players. Absolutely,

728
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: it's on the players. We've already mentioned that, We've addressed

729
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: that plenty. But as if a chance that we look

730
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: at a personnel evaluation problem when it comes to this franchise,

731
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: Rob Well I mean, I don't think there's any question

732
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: that some of the moves they've made defensively adding veterans,

733
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: it just hasn't It hasn't panned out. I mean, I

734
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: think Isaiah spoke to it. On paper, it looks great.

735
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, you're adding guys now that they're in their

736
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: thirties or late twenties that they've added on the defensive

737
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball that you know, have a lot

738
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: of accomplishments, but it hasn't translated to the field. So

739
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't know really where it falls other than I

740
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: would say with the depth they have depth. What they

741
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: don't have, what they haven't shown to have defensively from

742
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: the starting lineup through the depth are playmakers, Guys that

743
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: can make impact plays that that can change the course

744
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: of a game. And we talked about takeaways earlier. They

745
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: don't they haven't shown that this year. Now they have

746
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: guys that can do that. They have a tank, Lawrence

747
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: Alden Smith, guys like that. But top to bottom, I've

748
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: mentioned the speed on defense and some of the playmaking too,

749
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: it just hasn't been there. So to me, it's it's

750
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: more about that than depth. You know, a lot of

751
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: teams when you don't have your starter, it's gonna affect you.

752
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: But in your in your starting lineup, can you have

753
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: guys that can that can wreck game plans? And they

754
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: you know they haven't. They haven't had that so far

755
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: at all this season. Yeah, well it's you're asking me

756
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: to play uh Jerry Jones, like Isaiah Sarah said earlier.

757
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: And for me, it's the difference of crying in the

758
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Ford escort or may back. You know, it's it's it's

759
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: what do you do? What do you do with this team?

760
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: When you look at what you put together and thinking

761
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: that these guys had some jews left, we celebrated done

762
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: to every poe. We looked at the film. We thought

763
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: that all of those things were gonna be there. The

764
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: same with Everson Griffin. We almost threw him on parade

765
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: when he got here, and we have gotten the production

766
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: wasn't there. Look, no matter how you look at it,

767
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone could have projected the worst pandemic ever.

768
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Guy's not being able to be in OTA's training camps,

769
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: all of that, and right now, all of that sounds

770
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: like an excuse, but it's true. This team hasn't had

771
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity to gel and it doesn't matter even with

772
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: seven games. The coaching techniques, all of those things have

773
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: not taken. These guys are not getting it. And you

774
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: just have to go no further than the Kyle Island

775
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: run away on the third and nine the second quarter

776
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: to five minutes and forty five seconds, and it just shows, man,

777
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: the defense is just out of sorts. Guys are playing

778
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: out of position, and we just look horrible in those

779
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: in those circumstances, in situations, but as far as the

780
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: way that this team was put together, I think you know,

781
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: you were built to win and all of the problem

782
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: instictis thought that the Cowboys had an opportunity to go

783
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: far uh in the playoffs, but after all the injuries

784
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: and all of that, it's just you know, obviously you

785
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: can hindsight is twenty twenty and you can look at

786
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: it now and say it didn't work out the way

787
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: they had planned it. Actually bringing out the big words manosticators.

788
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: I like it. I got my sat words on the

789
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: day player. Uh No, I mean I think we've already

790
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: touched on it, right. I mean, these guys look good

791
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: on paper. I feel bad for them, if you know,

792
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: for Jerry and Will and the rest of the scouting

793
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: department who seemingly did a great job assembling this team.

794
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: But I go back to some of the things that

795
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: I continue to reference, and I know it might be

796
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: hard for people to grasp, but as a former player,

797
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: culture matters, right, Culture really matters, And there's that's it's

798
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: the reason why you take certain players flourish in some

799
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: systems and certain players don't. Right, It's because of the

800
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: culture of the organization. Um. And you see that. You

801
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: know when you when you look at teams like Baltimore

802
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: and some of the move they make, they're like, oh, shoot,

803
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: when that player gets there, they're gonna ball out. Why

804
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: do you say that? Why do you say those things

805
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: about certain players? Because you know, if you take a talent,

806
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: if you tak your talent and you put them in

807
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: that environment and that culture, they're gonna flourish. Right. So

808
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: when we talk about the Dallas Cowboys, we have all

809
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: these guys who look great on paper, they have they've

810
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: had successful careers. We put in all these veterans. We

811
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: have guys that we've we've been here since they're since

812
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of their career that are established players but again,

813
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: what's the culture here? Yeah? Right? What is the culture? Or? Dude,

814
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: when you play the Cowboys, are you gonna our guys

815
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna play you know, from in front of whistle to whistle?

816
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: Are are they gonna? Are they gonna drag you into

817
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: the ground? Right? Are are they gonna score? NonStop? Are

818
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: they gonna? Are they gonna? Are you gonna walk out

819
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: the game? You know, limp in and cut up and bruise?

820
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: What is the definition? What's the culture of this team?

821
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: And I don't think that they have one right now,

822
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: and until they do, you really can't have any real

823
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: expectations from these players, even regardless of their track records. Okay,

824
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: well where does it start? Where do you start that culture?

825
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: Because we've talked about it already, and people are trying

826
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: to fire the coach, You're trying to fire the GM

827
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: when they're trying or I guess you can't fire them,

828
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 1: trying to fire the defensive coordinators. What I'm meant to say,

829
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: You're trying to fire all these different people. Yeah, and

830
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: I think that that's gonna work. Yeah, But the way

831
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: of establishing culture is by continuity, right or is it

832
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: more than that? It's more than that, and I think

833
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: the culture has to come from the coach, right, culture

834
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: has to come from the coach. And I'm not sure

835
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: as good as coach McCarthy is, as good as his

836
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: history has shows, I don't think that he's come in

837
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: and established a culture. I don't think that we've seen

838
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: him come in and demand anything obviously forward facing, right,

839
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: we're not in the meeting room, but it doesn't appear

840
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: as if anything forward facing, like he has any strong personality.

841
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like he's demanding anything. It seems like

842
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: he's more so, it appears if he's a more of

843
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: in a waiting game and hoping for one of his

844
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: veterans to step up and kind of establish it instead

845
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: of him doing so himself. When you look around the league,

846
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: you can see based upon the personality of the coaches.

847
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: You take up Pittsburgh, look at their coach. You know

848
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: what they're gonna bring. They're gonna be fired and desire

849
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: all day long. You go to Baltimore Hardball, you know

850
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do, right, you know what the energy

851
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: of that team is, Coach Carroll. He's gonna be over

852
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: there dancing in high five and then that's the and

853
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: those guys are reflection of their coach, right. Unfortunately, the

854
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys they were in the history in the past years,

855
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: they've been a reflection of their coach. Right. In terms

856
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: of Jason Garrett, right, he just not a he's not

857
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: He's a clap your hands type of guy. It's gonna

858
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: be okay, we're gonna be all right, guys, we're in

859
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: a good situation. No, no, we're not. No, we're not

860
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: in a good situation. So now, obviously we have McCarthy

861
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: stepping to the fold. And we know that he's a

862
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: good coach. We know he's knowledgeable, we know he has

863
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: he's he's coached great players in the past. But what

864
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: is his culture? We don't know. You guys have anything

865
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: to add on to that. I think I said is

866
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: exactly right. It's got yeah, it starts, it starts with

867
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: the coach. I think his culture is, like I reference

868
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: his background earlier, I think he's kind of a you know,

869
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: blue collar, gritty guy in terms of that's the culture

870
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: he wants to set. He wants to and a team

871
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: that values the football, which they haven't accomplished that. And

872
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know it sounds like an excuse,

873
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: but I just when you don't get to be with

874
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: your players in person until mid August early August, I

875
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you can set a culture this quickly.

876
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: And it may take a hard look at the roster

877
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the season and saying, Okay, does

878
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: this player fit in my culture? Does he not, and

879
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: and try to reshape it that way. We'll see, but

880
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a challenge for a

881
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: coach to do that, especially, like Isaiah said, if it's

882
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: got to be a one eighties shifting culture or approach

883
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: to the way you coach players or what you demand

884
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: of players then in the past. So it's just a

885
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: weird year. No, absolutely on the same page with what

886
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: these guys just said, And it's hard to establish that

887
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: no matter what, Mike McCarthy came in with an ideal

888
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: that this season was going to be, he probably did

889
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: not have in the back of his head trying to

890
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: get to know as players on zoom meetings and again,

891
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: all of these things sound like excuses, but the evaluation

892
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: process for Mike McCarthy has to start right now, all

893
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: the way through the building. And I'm talking about everybody,

894
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: because you know, Isaiah, the one thing that you alluded

895
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: to or we're talking about the Pittsburghs the Baltimores, is

896
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: that those are football franchises that it permeates through the

897
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: building and nobody gets down after a loss. They know that, hey,

898
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: we'll get out there and get them again. So it's

899
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: not gloom and doom. And so I appreciate you saying that,

900
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: and so I think that's a bigger challenge for coach

901
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. It's just making sure that not only the

902
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: culture being set with the team, but through the organization

903
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: so that once this culture or whatever this is what

904
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: these anonymous sources, all of that stuff, that you don't

905
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: allow those things to get in the building and wreck

906
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: your team. Gota's that would never happen on a Bill

907
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: Belichick thing. That stuff just doesn't that doesn't exist. There

908
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: are no anonymous sources in New England. That does not happen. No,

909
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, but but even I know we got get

910
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: ready to get off the air. But even talking in

911
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: reference to New England, right, my time in New England,

912
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: from day one, from the time I showed up and

913
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: I had my first workout in New England. It was

914
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, right. We were lifting weights

915
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: as if it was the off season, right, And I

916
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: knew from that day these guys are lifting heavy, right heavy,

917
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: and it was it was. It was a direct reflection

918
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: of coach, I don't give a dog on what time

919
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 1: of the year it is. There is no off season, right,

920
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: We're going full throttle all the time. I'm gonna drag

921
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 1: you all the way through. We're gonna we're gonna bust

922
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: your butt in the weight room, we're gonna bust your button. Meetings,

923
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna bust your button and walk throughs, and we're

924
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: gonna go out there. We're gonna dog these guys and

925
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: then we're guess what, it's onto the next opponent. Right,

926
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: don't don't don't feel yourself, don't patch yourself on the back.

927
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: You show up to work, you grind, and we go

928
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: to work and we handle our business and then we

929
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: go on to the next opponent. And that was that again,

930
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: that went through the whole facility. Yeah, you do that,

931
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: You do your job, You get through and and find

932
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: a way to move on. Put the last game in

933
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror and get to the next opponent, which

934
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 1: is exactly what we're gonna do starting right now. We've

935
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: had a lot of sulking, we've had the frustration, we've

936
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: had the anger over the last forty eight hours following

937
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,959
Speaker 1: the twenty five to three loss. I'm not even gonna

938

941
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,640

942
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: the Philly offense versus this Cowboys defense, which arguably might

943
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: be the key to this football game. We're gonna talk
