Speaker 2: You gotta don't argue back with them. You just let

161
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: them say stuff.

162
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 13: What do you During your time on the beat, which

163
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 13: has been spanned many coaches in decades and presidents, who's

164
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 13: the worst questions?

165
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: Who had the worst question?

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: Starts with Raystone?

167
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: Ray Stone? Ray Stone was a his.

168
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, forgive him the emeritis past if

169
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: you want to.

170
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: No, it was probably Nita. But we're not gonna do this.

171
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 5: I just don't want in Paris right now.

172
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 4: So she she might be listening.

Speaker 4: She yes, I rememberhen she showed up in which top

00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: I was with a parasol.

177
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, just like a like a kite.

178
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: No, like a like a um Brothers.

179
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: From Savannah, Georgia, Jordan the parasol, Little Southern parasol.

180
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 7: Patrick Walker one of those.

181
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 3: He's from Savannah, lived the Savannah a long time myself.

182
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: Man named my child after that town.

183
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: Love that town.

184
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: I remember the time she asked Buck Showalter about to

185
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 3: play and bust, Yeah, he's not here anymore. In the

186
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 3: kind parcels want to answer her questions in a kind

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: way that he would He would not, but yes, thank you.

188
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to uh Star Telegrams future legend

189
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: Nick Harris here. So Trey Lance, Yes, why wasn't he

190
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: playing in the game? And will he at least start Sunday?

191
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: I mean, help me understand this. I don't get the

192
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: whole year of fourth rounder and this guy could potentially

193
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: walk out of here not playing a significant game.

194
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 5: In a seventy nine season. Jeff Fisher says, it went

195
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 5: that seventy nine bo Yeah, yeah.

196
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 7: I would love to know what the thought process is

197
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 7: around Trey Lance from the personnel perspective. Maybe it's a

198
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 7: situation where it's like, hey, we don't want to put

199
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 7: this guy out here. He accidentally performs and then the

200
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 7: price tags a little bit higher here in a few months,

201
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 7: and they have the intention of bringing him back. If

202
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 7: you look at who they would want to back up

203
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 7: Dak on this assumed final contract that he would have

204
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 7: with the team, you look at Cooper Rush at thirty

205
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 7: one years old, Maybe they would like a younger guy

206
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 7: to have back up Dak over these next four years.

207
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 7: If that's the case, Trey Lance makes sense. He's been

208
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 7: in the system. You can develop them over the course

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 7: of a couple of years, and if you hide him,

210
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 7: then that price tag is going to be a little

211
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 7: bit cheaper. But other than that, I don't really have

212
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 7: an explanation for it, other than you know, they saw

213
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 7: an opportunity to get into the playoffs before last week.

214
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 7: They wanted to continue to have their best opportunity at winning.

215
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 7: That is a fact that Cooper Rush kIPS them the

216
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 7: best opportunity at winning. But I mean, you look at

217
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 7: some situations in the Eagles game where it was short

218
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 7: yardage opportunities, uh at third and one, fourth and one,

219
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 7: It's a great opportunity for Trey Lance to get in

220
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 7: the game. We're gonna read option try to maximize some

221
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 7: things with his athleticism and and they just weren't able

222
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 7: to find opportunities to get him on the field. He

223
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 7: shocked that it does not happen on Sunday though, you know, uh.

224
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: Just piggyback in there because there are other people.

225
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: Brian brought us talked about possibly they're hiding Trey Lance

226
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: and you know, keeping him, you know, so to keep

227
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: the money down. And he brought up him being in

228
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: the system and the reason why you could bring him

229
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: back and why they're not playing it. You no, no,

230
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that they like it. They want to

231
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: bring him back.

232
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: Right, who's gonna big coach?

233
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 5: Thank you?

234
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean thank you people what I'm saying, So,

235
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean, how did how does that carry water? Make?

236
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: What the next coach? Unless you're bringing this coach back.

237
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: If you're bringing this coach back, that's that's that's holding

238
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: no conversation and we still need to delve into that

239
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: whole Mike McCart the situation.

240
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, you don't play him.

241
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean that it's it's it's I know, we're trying

242
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: to be logical and try to make sense.

243
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: Of an illogical situation because.

244
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: The idea that you're trying to keep the money down.

245
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: He ain't got no market. Yeah, I mean, that's no

246
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: market he goes out there. I mean, what's the market

247
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: for Trey Lance.

248
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: Even if he's going and plays and has a game,

249
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: what's the freaking market.

250
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 7: There's no market exactly, There's not one. And if he

251
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 7: goes out and let's say he accounts for three hundred

252
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 7: and fifty total yards in a.

253
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: Game, stop, there's still no market in one day.

254
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,239
Speaker 7: I'm just saying.

255
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: That there's no market quarterbacks. Marketing market's gonna be Cooper.

256
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 7: And it's in a in a league where we've seen

257
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 7: some revivals. I'm not saying that's gonna happen for Trey Lance.

258
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 7: For the league where we've seen some revivals for Sam Darnold,

259
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield, some other guys who didn't quite work out

260
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 7: in their first opportunities, there's a there's a desire from

261
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 7: teams to go get a young quarterback, to be like, hey,

262
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 7: let me try that problem.

263
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: So nick I talked about this on the last show,

264
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: that very thing, but then I couched myself saying this,

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: But Sam Darnold had played significant rights in the league,

266
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: and same with Baker Mayfield, who'd won a playoff game.

267
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: The problem here is this guy's not giving you anything

268
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: to even have a barometer on. And the only thing

269
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: I can think of, when you think about, well, who

270
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: could go get him, it would have to be somebody

271
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: who's coached him and says, well, I.

272
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 5: Know he can do this or that.

273
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: And maybe I'm trying to think who's off the Kyle

274
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: Shanahan staff that somewhere now that the OC in New Orleans.

275
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 5: But they're all going to possibly be blown out as

276
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 5: well down there. So I don't know.

277
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: And I just think that if you've used up a

278
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: fourth round pick and this season ends and this kid

279
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: has not even played and started a game, especially on

280
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: your seven to nine right now, that tells me I

281
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: don't know what you're doing as management. I just that

282
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: part to me is it's frustrating because we now know.

283
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,119
Speaker 3: I mean, damn Mingo plays.

284
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 5: More than Trey l And what an awful trade. It's

285
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 5: a wide receiver.

286
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: I mean, what was he doing?

287
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: Didn't might talk to him? What was he looking for?

288
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 6: No?

289
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: No, no, that was that was a great route.

290
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: Oh that's that was That was your question in the press.

291
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: Conea I asked because I just want to know because

292
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: I want to know if it was because the way

293
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: Macart looked. I don't know if it was a bad

294
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: route or a bad it was a bad pass, bad past, it.

295
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: Was a terrible path.

296
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: Still still don't know.

297
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: I mean, he got on top of the guy he

298
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: routed he did.

299
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean that was Queen Mitchell, Holly uh chouded rookie

300
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: and and cowboys were cooks. Was was riding up sleigh

301
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: and and your boy was getting some open on Queen Mitchell.

302
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: The quarterback did not play well.

303
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 7: He got out of quintom and obey that's what they

304
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 7: called him.

305
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just.

306
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 7: Found that out on Sunday. Apparently they called they called

307
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 7: his little island quintanam obey.

308
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, okay.

309
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 7: Shout out to Toledo Barry Church, who's.

310
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer. Good on them, Good on. They won

311
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: their bowl game too.

312
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: So the Trey Lance thing is is somewhat baffling here

313
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: at this point in time.

314
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 5: I know, it's still just Jerry on the radio.

315
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: How do we feel about Mike coming back versus not

316
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: coming back?

317
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: Just based on what we're getting from Jerry Jacques. You've

318
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 5: done this before.

319
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,239
Speaker 3: With Jerry, with these coaching searchers in situations.

320
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I don't know. I mean, that's

321
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: really my thing.

322
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 10: I mean, Jerry moves his lips a lot, and he

323
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 10: says a lot of different things, except.

324
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 7: For this morning. He was like eerily quiet this morning.

325
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: No, I think the I'm really can't tell you what

326
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for.

327
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 5: I'm rooted with quick me too.

328
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, nobody wants to do that chain Gaily, all of

329
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 10: all of at the combine with no coach.

330
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: No, I'm not talking about I'm talking about quick decision

331
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: on my car.

332
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about.

333
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: But but yeah, but you but that's after they made

334
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the decision. Talking at quick decision on McCarthy.

335
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for McCarthy to be like, I got other opportunities.

336
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to be here. That's what I'm rooting for,

337
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 4: because that's chaos and I like that.

338
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: You're chaos.

339
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to deal with it.

340
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you.

341
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: Got to writing, you know. I think it's in the listen.

342
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: I like McCarthy.

343
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job, and I think

344
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: this sounds like a butt y'all know, y'all know he

345
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: ain't Jake Glazier like this.

346
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: Right, mm hmm?

347
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 5: And Tom Pellero you know.

348
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: This right, they're doing them a solid.

349
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: Right yep, yes, yes, the same way.

350
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, gonna have all these Come on, you

351
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: can't sell my MiG card to the Saints fan base.

352
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 7: But I mean, seriously, do you think he's trying to

353
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 7: create leverage here?

354
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, because they talking about the same well he

355
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: was coaching. Who's the quarterback? Why would you want to.

356
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 7: Go there Jacksonville?

357
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 4: Potentially because there's only thirty two of these.

358
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: You know, Mike McCarthy spoke volumes last week, but he said,

359
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm at a different point in my career.

360
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: Worry about the Sisters coach because he's done, he's been,

361
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: They've been to the mountain time. I don't think he's

362
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: just chasing a BS job to continued to coach. He

363
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: go back to the you know, he said that last week.

364
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's not chasing no BS job just to

365
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: continue to coach, just to say I'm coaching.

366
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 5: But and that's easy to say when you're currently at

367
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 5: this job.

368
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: But this is the same man who applied for the

369
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: Browns job and the Jets job and didn't get the

370
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 3: meed who Mike McCarthy.

371
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I think the Browns and just job better.

372
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: The situations better Marcus than Jacksonville. And in New Orleans

373
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: which has no quarterback, and they got you see, you

374
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: see their counts.

375
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 5: I'm talking about. This is before he came to Downs.

376
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: I know that.

377
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: But still even in those situations, there's something there. There's

378
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: a history there with with the with certainly with with

379
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: Cleveland their fan base. I'm just saying though New Orleans,

380
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: if you look at the cap situation, they got to

381
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: get rid of everybody I mean that that thing is

382
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: and they have no quarterback. You know, that's certainly not

383
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: a situation where you anybody I would think wants to

384
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: be in.

385
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 7: So that's about Jerry on the radio this morning, being

386
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 7: as quiet as he was on certain certain answers and

387
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 7: things of that sort. It makes me think that there's

388
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 7: really deep conversations being had with the Jones right now,

389
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 7: and they're gonna have to make a decision early next week,

390
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 7: and in my opinion, they need to have a decision

391
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 7: early next week so they get the ball. Mike Mike

392
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 7: Rabel was available yesterday. That means teams start getting the

393
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 7: ball rolling as early as today if they wanted to

394
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 7: some of these teams that don't have a head coach.

395
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 7: So for example, if that's a guy that they would

396
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 7: like to bring in and look at, then they need

397
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 7: to get the ball rolling on that. But for for

398
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 7: McCarthy's sake, they need to make They need to make

399
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 7: this decision pretty quick and their own.

400
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: And to me, if they really care about McCarthy, as

401
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: they say that, they will make it.

402
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: They won't let him twist, you know.

403
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: And if you if you are fond of him and

404
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: he's been a good steward, they don't let him twist.

405
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: And Stephen, you know, said on Monday that it will

406
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: be done after the Washington game.

407
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 2: Uh Sertainna Jerry said today that he's under no timetable,

408
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, but he's gonna say that.

409
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: But I think that they want to do right by

410
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy and they need to gonna get tomorrowing because you know,

411
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: this whole coaching search is not like it used to me,

412
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: you got, I mean, it's a whole process. You just

413
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: can't make a quick hire anyway, you know, and you

414
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: and there are other teams are gonna be looking for coaches.

415
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: You need to get out there and get in the.

416
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Mix, you know, because and compete with to the other

417
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,440

00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 3: you all have confirmed this here. So the Cowboys are

475
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: letting Zeke go. His days as a Dallas Cowboy are over.

476
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: Jack Taylor, they brought Zeke Elliott back this year. I

477
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: know you're Buckeye. Zeke's nearing due to your heart even

478
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: changed his number to fifteen, which he ran up and

479
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: down at and T Stadium and won year last national championship.

480
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 4: But my son, the fifteen buck ed Jersey run through

481
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 4: the heart.

482
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: Of the South.

483
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, how about your characterize this year here as you're.

484
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: Here this year. This year is awful.

485
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no other way to say it.

486
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 11: He was.

487
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 10: I mean it was off from the jump, really, I

488
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 10: mean he didn't really contribute much. His biggest play was

489
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 10: the fumble he had earlier in the year. I mean

490
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 10: it was it's disappointing.

491
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I bet if he looked back, he mean,

492
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 4: I bet if he looked back, he'd be like that.

493
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 4: Even came here, I just took it to the crib.

494
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: Why you look at me like that?

495
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 7: He could have gone somewhere else going into the year.

496
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 7: He probably he had options.

497
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 10: Like I said, it's hard to go home again.

498
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: Man, it's hard to spin the blocking.

499
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 2: It's hard to go home again.

500
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: The problem with going home again, this is the problem

501
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: is and I'm not saying the sequels entitled, but they

502
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: treated him like they.

503
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 10: Still treated him like he was a star, right, and

504
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 10: when they should have treated like when herschel Walker left

505
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 10: and came back, they treated him like, oh, you you

506
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 10: coming back, so you could run down kickoffs and punks everything,

507
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 10: and you can act like a third running back.

508
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: So you go back to training camp. And he didn't

509
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: take a lot of reps and they were saving him.

510
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: You remember Jerry talking as we know he was right,

511
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: you know, we know what z he can do, and

512
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna south about this, and they had this plan

513
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: for him, and.

514
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 2: It was never there. I mean, they never used him.

515
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: And and to just.

516
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: Rico was the right choice. Rico had been the right choice,

517
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: but they never ran Zeke to see what z he

518
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: could do.

519
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 4: Anyway, That's just like it was such a weird setup.

520
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 10: You almost wondered if McCarthy was on board with the

521
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 10: whole way, you know, because they just they just never

522
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 10: really used him well.

523
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: And and again, as I said, I don't think the

524
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys knew what they had in Rico. But that is

525
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: another thing is how do you trust what you see

526
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: in Rico? Because he's never done it. He's never carred

527
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: the low he's in, He's had injury issues, he's never

528
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: been healthy. So you don't want to put all your

529
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: eggs and we're gonna make Rico the feature back and

530
00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: and then.

531
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: He can't hold up.

532
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: And so they went in with this plan of trying

533
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: to make maximize an old Zeke and a new Rico

534
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: with this old running back by community because that's the

535
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: best thing we need to do best for the team.

536
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: It's best for the team because they didn't know what

537
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: they had.

538
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 10: There, made so many bad decisions this year, you know.

539
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 10: So that's what the mistake is, not bringing Zeke back

540
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 10: per se. The mistake is how you used it once

541
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 10: you got it.

542
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: It was all of that and then not explaining his

543
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: role or telling his role, and then lying about we

544
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: communicated this role because Zeke didn't understand. You know, it's

545
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: one thing, okay, you don't use then you know, use

546
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: the shortyard his back. You know, you told me, you

547
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: blew me up and told me you liked what I

548
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: did last year, you like what you saw in New England,

549
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: and you had a plan for me, and then all

550
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm not getting used at all.

551
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: So he did not understand the plan and how it

552
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: went out.

553
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: And clearly again the Cowboys made the right decision, but

554
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: how they came about the decision.

555
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: To go with Rico was flawed, without doubt. Yeah. Well,

556
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: and you know they were talking about you know Zeke.

557
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: You know, he was you know, trying to get the

558
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: twin door sets the second all the time lead rush

559
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: and I was a touchdown score excuse me.

560
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: You know, he came in with goals.

561
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: I he came in a goal, wanted to get a

562
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: thousand yards, wanted to get closer to ten thousand yards,

563
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: certainly wanted to move up on the chart in Cowboys history.

564
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: As far as rushing touchdowns, you know, none of it

565
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: came to rush. And then you got to depart in

566
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: the season, we was left home because he was being

567
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: tardy at the meetings and and what over else, you know,

568
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: common sense that they probably should have cut him the inn.

569
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: Yes, uh, Zeke this year seventy four attempts for two

570
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty six yards.

571
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: And three touchdowns.

572
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 11: Guess what though.

573
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 5: More than you thought. But also I just go back

574
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 5: into we went back.

575
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: We're back here on the players lounge, and I had

576
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: penciled in Zeke for four hundred and sixty five yards rush.

577
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 5: M I didn't think. I did not.

578
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: I was not a fan of this move, and I

579
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: didn't think it would turn out. Well, I just didn't

580
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: think it would turn out this back.

581
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 10: I think, you know, I think it's a it's just

582
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 10: a weird deal because I was a obviously I was

583
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 10: a huge fan of Zeke at Ohio State and I

584
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 10: thought they should have taken in the draft when he fell,

585
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 10: because I was like, oh, you put a great.

586
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: Running behind a great line, you should be able to

587
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 4: really do some things. And they did.

588
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 10: But his career, I mean, you just thought he was

589
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 10: headed to the Hall of Fame after his first three season. Sure, sure,

590
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 10: And that whole suspension thing, it's like his thing was

591
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 10: just out of whack. Ever ever since that thing, ever

592
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 10: since that happened, his career was just kind of out

593
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 10: of whack.

594
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: It wasn't the same. And it also just, at.

595
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: Least in my opinion, he went from being this beloved guy. Yeah,

596
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: and then you have to say Patrick's day stuff.

597
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 5: You just had things where he.

598
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: I always like to say, it's interest around who we

599
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: choose to condemn and who we choose to forget and

600
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: people I thought some of the public hadn't. They didn't

601
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: really forgive him, and things had changed. And then when

602
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: he held the remember he could call the lawsuits in

603
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: the court here and there. Instead of just taking it

604
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 3: and just going through with it, he let it affect him.

605
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: But I never regretted the drafting. I thought that was

606
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: the right thing to do, and it proved early on

607
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 3: it was the second contract where they really messed up

608
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: because they changed the rules right like not, I mean

609
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: it was maybe months later they changed the rules and

610
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: so had they just made him play on it.

611
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 5: He did never have that leverage. And maybe they don't

612
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 5: even give him a second countract. I don't know.

613
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: But bringing him back after New England I thought was

614
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: a mistake. Bill Parcels Callbo was like this progress stoppers.

615
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: We saw it with Jason Witting when he came back.

616
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just got to hey man, thank you, thank you.

617
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: But he didn't really progress because they still let Rico go.

618
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 3: The problem here is that.

619
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: One they didn't get a draft once, they didn't drafted

620
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: running back. They were desperate to to trying to find

621
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: somebody to run with Rico, and and and and Zeke

622
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: was out there because they didn't go after running back

623
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: and free agency, which you know there were others out

624
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: there they could have gone after.

625
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 11: Uh.

626
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: And it goes back to Trey last deal.

627
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: You know you tried that for that fourth round pick,

628
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: you for Trey Lass, you know, went after right after him.

629
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Eric, what do you do this year?

630
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

631
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 7: Pretty damn good?

632
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 5: Ten more yards Rico?

633
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he didn't and he did the start and

634
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: he I mean, you know, but he could have.

635
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 5: Been you know, the back you picked could have been

636
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 5: your future.

637
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, your future because you're now going to have to

638
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: go into the draft is ship free agency and try

639
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: to find find find some help now and.

640
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of backs, so you can draft

641
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: it back. I mean this, this drafted loaded him backs.

642
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: But we're talking about this season and decision made for

643
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: this season part of the to make for this.

644
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: There's no doubt that a mistake was made on in

645
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: free agency one draft to another and then it left

646
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: you with this. But I still I do wonder if

647
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: you hooked Mike McCarthy was some truth serve? Did he

648
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: even want Ezekiel Ellet back?

649
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 7: The full story of Ezekiel Elliott does a Cowboys want

650
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 7: to be a complicated history. That will be an interesting

651
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 7: story one day, but.

652
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 4: A deep blue.

653
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 7: It'll be the last. It'll be the last time he

654
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 7: leaves here. At least he didn't leave as a center.

655
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 7: He left as a running back.

656
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: So wow, that's a thing.

657
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 5: That's a good thing to take a break.

658
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 7: Could have been his last nap.

659
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: He went back to center on those Redding Well, I

707
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 5: So is there a statement out on Ezekiel Elliott?

708
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 10: Sir, No, there's no statement, But it's one of those

709
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 10: deals where everybody seemed to have called the same person

710
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 10: because they all got the same.

711
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: We Zeke was released to help him join the playoff team.

712
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: If that's not the issue.

713
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: Yes, he was released because he wanted to join the

714
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: playoff team. It's the outer respect and appreciation.

715
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 10: For his services over the top that. I mean, we

716
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 10: all know what's the dirty game. We just cut him, Okay,

717
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 10: I mean what it is that.

718
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 7: They didn't have to cut him. They didn't have to

719
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 7: release him. It is out of respect for his time.

720
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 7: That is a fact.

721
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: It's the final game of I know. I'm just saying

722
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: that they should be playing. Okay, they shouldn't even be

723
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: should he be playing? That's that's my point. I mean,

724
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: he's like, come on, what are they gonna do with it?

725
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 5: Right? They didn't want to make him in active.

726
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: The money is the same. Yeah, he might have been

727
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: in the act. It was time.

728
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: If you're not gonna play Duce, now when you're gonna play,

729
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: it's like the trade last thing.

730
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 10: Come on, Deuce was done once McCarthy didn't have five

731
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 10: after that big win other day, stop it was.

732
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean, but at this point, like last week, I'm

733
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: see him once once they're out of the playoffs, tell

734
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: you why was not? Why Wasduce not the one the

735
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: primary back? I mean, probably because Turp has been your

736
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: backup tail back.

737
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, they've they've found more since being out of the

738
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 7: playoff race with Turp and then than anyone else other

739
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 7: than Rico.

740
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 4: Right, but what's the I mean, CD was the running

741
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: back before the turping.

742
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 7: It was RB two. He was one hundred R two.

743
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Duce can't play, Okay, I put it out there, Okay,

744
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: But my point is, why is he active for one

745
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: snap two snaps a game?

746
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: Wh was the active last two or three weeks?

747
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 5: Out of respect?

748
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: Out of respect, the same reason why they're cutting them

749
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: out of respect for his tenure.

750
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 4: Deuce really can't play, and so we need got there.

751
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: That's all we're talking about.

752
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 15: It.

753
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 3: It makes me think of the media media scrum we

754
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: had last week when Zeke walked by and Clarence said, hey,

755
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 3: come on, we can get you and and he kept going.

756
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 5: So it's very it's just very different of what what

757
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 5: once was. When he first came in here.

758
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: I remember talking to Darren Woodson, who was here working

759
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 3: at ESPN on that draft day, wondering if they would

760
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 3: take Ezekiel Elliott. And they had the draft over at

761
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 3: at and T Stadium and Zeke wanted to be here

762
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 3: and it started off great. But this is the nature

763
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 3: of football. Jock's always told me, you know, sports is fluid.

764
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: And it started off You're thinking he's putting up his

765
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 3: first the first three years he was putting up those

766
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame type This is the kind of stuff.

767
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 5: Write this down here. You need a couple of those rushing.

768
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: Ring type numbers. Yes, you know, two times two time

769
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: rushing champion won't make the Ring of honor.

770
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if the suspension probably would have been three.

771
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, he's not making ring line, that's my point.

772
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: But a two time rushing infl Russian champ that's I've

773
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: heard of, you would think, right, third all time in

774
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Russian Cowboys history.

775
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 15: Yeah.

776
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 4: But his career was a slow dissent.

777
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: He is the first running back in of our history

778
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: to have I hate that stack. It's a crazy stack.

779
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 4: I hate it.

780
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 10: I can't stand it really because what is the stat then,

781
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 10: now that he had descending yards per averaging yards per

782
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 10: carry every year of his career, every year.

783
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: Of his career. Nobody, not one other back.

784
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: Now some of that is she said the numbers so

785
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: high initially, so really, initially, that is it?

786
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: How about the last five years?

787
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: I said initially that means at the beginning the theater.

788
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 3: Read this statement from Cowboys owner president and general manager

789
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: Gerald Wayne Jones.

790
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 10: Let me get my handkerchief hold tech out of respect

791
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 10: and appreciation for Zeke.

792
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 4: Oh, it did come from the pr butt.

793
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 3: And wanting to provide him with an opportunity to pursue

794
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: any potential playoff participation possible.

795
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 10: So ain't nobody cause we just hoping and praying. We

796
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 10: are releasing him from the Cowboys roster today. As I've

797
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 10: said many times previously, Hey, Christian Champson music.

798
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: For this, Read this, give us some violins.

799
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 3: Zeke's impact as one of the greatest to ever play

800
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: with the star on his on their helmet will never change,

801
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: and it's etched in our record books in history forever.

802
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 4: But we didn't want them tell that record.

803
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: We thank him, love him, and wish him the absolute

804
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: best from your owner from America's team, Gerald Wayne Jones

805
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: put that in your story, and Nick put that in

806
00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: your story.

807
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 7: It's getting plugged in right now. That that's one hundred

808
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 7: and fifty words.

809
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 16: You kidding.

810
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 5: Take that with you. Take that with you there, you go,

811
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 5: tweet this over here.

812
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: To my people.

813
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 7: I'll take the reins. Jerry Jones being u having the

814
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 7: opportunity in the draft to pivot on getting a running

815
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 7: back or firing on one, and then always pivoting the

816
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 7: conversation back to Zeke. It was telling of their relationship

817
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 7: at that point. Even after that they the first time

818
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 7: that they had divorced a couple of years ago, but

819
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 7: being able to bring him back he I think initially

820
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 7: Jerry saw a big role for him this year. I

821
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 7: do they would have drafted one.

822
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 10: There's no place for sentimentality in his game percent right,

823
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 10: This zero place for it, and this organization has way

824
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 10: too much of it.

825
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: This has always been my challenge. I would tell people

826
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: about the owner also being the general manager. You want

827
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: your owner to look at the glass and say it's

828
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: half full. That is some pure pH water, good for you.

829
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: But I need my general manager to look at that

830
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 3: water to say, I think the glass is cracked. I

831
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: don't know what the water is dirty? Was that glass

832
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: fully clean? And we may need to go think about

833
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 3: it as another glass around the corner that we need

834
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: to replace it with. But the general manager will always

835
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: lose to the optimistic owner. And I always believed that

836
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy was okay with Zeke being gone. Yeah, as

837
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 3: Skip Pete also went out the door as a running

838
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 3: back coach and Jeff Blasco took over. I'm not so

839
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: sure about him coming back. And then of course they

840
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 3: sent him home, then take him to a game. Talked

841
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: about mis meetings. There are issues there this year, and

842
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: that's where the sentiment comes in because actuality. If Jimmy's

843
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 3: coaching his team, not only would Zke not have made

844
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 3: the plane, Zeke, he'd have been gone, thank you for

845
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 3: your services, You're gone, but he was still here. And

846
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: then what was he doing while he was here? We're

847
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: finding situations where we weren't even getting the ball sometimes.

848
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 5: What's going on here?

849
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: Jerry talked about on the radio show today how he

850
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: he misfired on the offensive line.

851
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 10: It seems to me like, and I said this at

852
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 10: the very beginning, why would you How could you think

853
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 10: that they were you draft guys. You changed their positions,

854
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 10: and then you plug them in and you act all

855
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 10: surprised when they're not good right off the rip more

856
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 10: than one.

857
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, get over the skis.

858
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: You've been over your skis a few times before. Heaven

859
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: when you got over your ski just made over you.

860
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: You know when you get over your skis, No, you

861
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: fall down.

862
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 5: It just don't sense to me.

863
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: Man, you get never problem. You fall out when you

864
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: get off your ski.

865
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 14: What do you do?

866
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 5: Lindy, I don't know. I watched I know when I

867
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 5: want used.

868
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: To watch The Wild World of Sports. They were too

869
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: far over their ski with the dude.

870
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 3: All I know is the ski lift tickets, Chris Bean

871
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 3: know them. Ski lift tickets cost too much. So my

872
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: children went on the ski lift ticket.

873
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 5: No I'm not going. I'm gonna save some money on skin.

874
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 5: I just paid for them to go.

875
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 7: I thought I wanted to go skiing, and then I

876
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 7: had to put the ski boots on. It's too claustrophobic.

877
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 5: That's that's not me.

878
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 10: It's a whole bunch of and I'll tell you my

879
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 10: worst experience doing that was the twenty ten Olympics. I

880
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 10: was covering the Olympics at the Van Cooper Olympics, and

881
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 10: I was covering some ski some skiing events, and so

882
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 10: you had to take this whatever you call it thing

883
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 10: over there, okay. And I got in with the great

884
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 10: Kate Heroppolos from Dallas More News, and I had my

885
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 10: backpack on.

886
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 4: Bad move because.

887
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 10: Now you're leaning forward the whole time because you couldn't

888
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 10: put the bar down once it started taking off, and

889
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 10: I'm scared of heights. So that was the longest trip

890
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 10: up the mountain I'd ever been on because I thought

891
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 10: it was gonna fall off the whole time.

892
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: I thought it was thought it was. I thought this

893
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: was a story by skiing.

894
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 5: Did I had got.

895
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 6: You know?

896
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we had the boss team. He was hold up, damn,

897
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: Parris Wheel, your author. But I was not Wait and

Speaker 3: Manius Jeff Fishing with that seventy.

00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: Nine boo.

901
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 4: Beyond people, man, start beyond people.

902
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: That's your story, man, that's my story.

903
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 3: That's why I don't show up on the question for

00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: your story, police, You'll be the question police story.

905
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 5: That's funny studies.

906
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: I really thought it was my skin. It was they

907
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 2: had a god, they had this bigger, big old skate

908
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: slope tore my knee.

909
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 5: I told my when I was down.

910
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, I never heard of jock go

911
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: sk I know where the was that.

912
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 11: He gave me?

913
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: There looked because he gave me. He definitely gave me

914
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: a look like whoa is this going.

915
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 5: Anyway? That's why he took you on Tuesday.

916
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: The bottom Zeke's gone today? Well who else is gone?

917
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: After Sunday?

918
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: And we haven't even got into make Zimmer and you

919
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: were there Mike Zerra getting all cinema.

920
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 4: Cry talking about he didn't want to do it.

921
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 2: We didn't, we didn't.

922
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: You know what, when you get older, you get more cinema.

923
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean this is this has just been a different

924
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: Zener than we had back in the day. He don't

925
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: cuss anymore. My personal talked about last Zimon on screen.

926
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 2: He just you know, he doesn't.

927
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: He barely talks above a whisper. He really has not

928
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: been effusive with us. And yesterday when he found out

929
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: this was gonna be the last time they talked to us.

930
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: He decided to open up.

931
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

932
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 7: He asked on the podiums like, this is probably the

933
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 7: last time, right, and they were like, yeah, then you

934
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 7: were right. After that, there was a clear kind of change.

935
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 7: He had mentioned about how important this year was for

936
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 7: him for his son Adam, who passed a couple of

937
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 7: years ago, and Jock. You could probably speak more to it,

938
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 7: but from people that I knew on that Jackson State staff,

939
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 7: whenever he was a consultant there, whenever that moment happened,

940
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 7: it was obviously a big thing that happened in his life.

941
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 7: And uh, to have a different demeanor after that, it's

942
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 7: it's expected, and you know, being able to get back

943
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 7: in the game of football for his son this year

944
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 7: was huge. It was important for him. He said in

945
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 7: his first presser when he first arrived here in Dallas

946
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 7: that he needed the game of football back. And you've

947
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 7: seen what the game of football has done to him

948
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 7: because sometimes in those pressers he's energetic, he's into it,

949
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 7: and you can see, you know, how locked in he is,

950
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 7: and then at other times you kind of see this

951
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 7: game can still be taxing, it can still it can

952
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 7: still take from you. And you wonder how all of

953
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 7: that will play into his decision to even want to

954
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 7: come back if he's allowed back.

955
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 4: Wall Nice had a lot of tragedy.

956
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 10: His wife died unexpectedly out of the blue one day,

957
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 10: and my son died unexpectedly, and so that's a lot

958
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 10: of tragedy for for anybody.

959
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:54,640
