Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and 5 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: Newe Scrugs. Here we are Players louds on a Tuesday. 6 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys play Saturday night in Philadelphia. I'm new scrus. This 7 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: is the Players Lounge. It's the Players Show. The players 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: are Danny McCray and Barry Church to former Dallas Cowboys 9 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: safety's both undrafted here. So, gentlemen, Mike McCarthy says, they 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: are going to play to win the game in Philadelphia. 11 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones says they plan to play. They planned to win. 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that, McCray, the better. They better go 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: out here and find a way to get some momentum 14 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. All right. You have to, especially 15 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: with the outings that we've had against these teams that 16 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: we believe are better competition than Taystom Hill with the Saints, 17 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: whoever was playing quarterback for the Washington football team. Like, 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: you have to go into this knowing that the team 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: feels like they can play against anybody. It's one thing 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: to say it, like they continue to say, yeah, we 21 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: know that on our bench to day and as long 22 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: as we come to play, we can beat anyone. But 23 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: we have not shown that, right, So you need to 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: go out here against the Eagles, who are a playoff 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: team and show that you can beat them, all right. 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: If you don't, then you're gonna go into the playoff 27 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: limping with like not knowing who you are on offense, 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: the defense probably filling the type of way about the 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: offense not being able to help them out. So this 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: is your week to fix that before before the tournament starts. Yeah, yeah, 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: you gotta go. You gotta play it. You guys to 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: have all your guys on deck, and you gotta play 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: this last game. I mean, you're not in position right 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: now to rest and be like, all right, we'll get 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs. Because right now, this offense, they 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: have no identity. The offense doesn't know what's going, whether 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: it's a run team, whether it's a past happy team. 38 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: We just don't have an identity offensively. And what we've 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: seen so far this season is there's no evidence that 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: Dak in this offense can just say, all right, it's 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: time to go. It's playoffs, let's flick the switch and 42 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: we're hitting on all cylinders. There has been no evidence 43 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: of that. There's actually been evidence contrary to that. Like 44 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: we've seen this offense, you know, steadily go downhill. They 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: might have a blip here and there where the offenses 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: is balling and hitting on all cylinders. But once again, 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: those happened against the New York Giants, you know what 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: saying that happened against the Washington football team, and we're 49 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: not going against those guys in the playoffs. So to me, offensively, 50 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: we've got to play because we got to get some 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: type of momentum. You can't limp into the playoffs and 52 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: expect to just be flipping the switch and turning into 53 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: this miraculous ninety nine, you know, rams type of offense. 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: You can't do that. We got to have some momentum 55 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: going into this playoffs. And defensively we need to play 56 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: as well. We need to play as well because we've 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: we've played great. Don't get me wrong, we played great. 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: We beat up on the NFC East, we beat up 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: on a couple of guys here and there. But when 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: we get to the plays. Like you just mentioned, we're 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: gonna be playing against the Garoppolos of the world, the Bradies, 62 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the Rodgers if we get that far. So we gotta 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: make sure we're hitting on all cylinders going into this playoffs. 64 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: And lastly, we still got some seeding you know, to 65 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: go about right now, Like like we got playoff Satday. 66 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: Right now, we're in the four seed. We can't get 67 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: any worse than the four seed. But to me, you know, 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna need a lot of help, but we can 69 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: still get that two seed. We can still get that 70 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: three seeds. So it comes down to would you rather 71 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: go against? You know, if you're in that two or 72 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: three seed, you get to go against maybe a Jimmy 73 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Garoppolo or a Jalen Hursts at the six or seven seed, 74 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: rather than if you're at that four, you're more than 75 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: likely going against either Stafford or Cala Murray. And we've 76 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: seen what Cala Murray was able to do. So to me, 77 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: get the momentum, play this game out, hopefully get a dub, 78 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: and you go into the playoffs not limping, but with 79 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: some type of momentum. And I'll say this, I think 80 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: I think it'll be the worst situation that you can 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: have is if you go out here and lose on Saturday, 82 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: and then if all the chips falling your favorite for 83 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: you to be seed and you ain't and you didn't play. 84 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I think I think that is the worst possible scenario 85 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: for you. So I think it's probably a blessing and 86 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: the curse to have to play on Saturday. One, you 87 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: get a little extra rest in order to the first round, 88 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: but two, it's like you need to go out here 89 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: and put all you like, all your chips on the table, 90 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: because if everything falls in your favor, whatever happened last 91 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: week is irrelevant you It still bounce up to the 92 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: number two seed and find a different opponent. But the 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: fact that we are sitting here saying, man, we might 94 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: not want to you know, Arizona, That lets me know 95 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: that we have work to do as a team. Because 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: we should feel confident us as viewers, us as people 97 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: who are talking about the game. We should feel confident 98 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: enough to say we're good enough to play against anybody. 99 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: And at some points in the season we felt that way. 100 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Yeah we did this week. I'm like, I'd rather play 101 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: those better teams after we get our get our footing 102 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: in the tournament. Now, now an Eagles day, you know 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: they got a lot of people in the protocols right now, 104 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: you know a lot of casts. Now we know it's 105 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: a little bit different. You can do the five days 106 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: and they might be able to have them back. But 107 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you're blowing the goes out. Let's just 108 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: say they're killing the Eagles second half, the up twenty one, 109 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: twenty eight points, then I can see, you know, you're 110 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: resting some people. You know, obviously, if you got that 111 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: big of a league, you had something doing, something brewing offensively, 112 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: something brewing defensively. So in that case, I can see 113 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: us resting in the second half. But if it's a game, 114 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: you gotta play your boys. You gotta play all of them, 115 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: all hands on that. Yeah, Anthony Brown playing, Jordan Lewis playing, Yeah, 116 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: Traylun Digs he should play, you know, at least the 117 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: first half, you know, depending on how the game is going. 118 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: Like you're saying, only people I will be worried about. 119 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: It is like a d law or something like that. 120 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: People who've actually missed extended periods some time during the 121 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: season to where it's really a risk of that person 122 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: possibly not being being ready for the playoffs, maybe a 123 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Tyren Smith get back and get your feet with in 124 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: the first half or whatever. But other than that, ninety 125 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: eight percent of this roster should be playing, including that 126 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: well Philly dealing with the COVID issues. Twelve guys several 127 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: starters on that COVID list, So it would be interesting 128 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: to see how did they approach this football game. Do 129 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: they just out, hey, look, you know what, We're just 130 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: gonna be where we are and we're not gonna put 131 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: anybody out here who can't give it, give it the 132 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: way that you know, can't go out here on a 133 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: hundred percent. So I'll be interested to see what they 134 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: do on there end. As far as Gimg when you 135 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: brought him up with the forty nine ers, Barry, he's 136 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: probably not playing trade. I'm playing last week and got 137 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: the wind. So the Cowboys have some some things that 138 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: they need to work on for themselves. But it's just 139 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see what other folks end up 140 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: doing around them, because to me, Philadelphia has got an 141 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: excellent opportunity to say, you know, we're just not gonna play. 142 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: You know, we're not going We're not going to take 143 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: the chance with guys on COVID to put them out 144 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: here and not have them be one hundred percent and 145 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: possibly get hurt, because what for them, what is it? 146 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: What are they playing for? It's a kind of interesting thing. 147 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: We know why the Cowboys are playing. They don't look good. 148 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: They need to try and get themselves um operating at 149 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: a higher level. But I would do wonder about Philadelphia. 150 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: What's their incentive? I would I hope you know, they rest, 151 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: you know, hope they rest their whole squad. You know, 152 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: they got they they're filling themselves a little bit right now. 153 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: I think they won what four or five straight or 154 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: something like that, so I know they're feeling themselves. But 155 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I hope they rest because we've seen when you got 156 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: all that momentum going and then y'all, let's take a 157 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: little break here and you try to get right back 158 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: into it, and it's it's you're not You're not exactly 159 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: right where you were when you left off. And hopefully 160 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: that's the case we go. If we go acats the 161 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: Eagles in that first round, the Boys rested and they ain't. 162 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: They ain't. They ain't got the momentum on the side 163 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: no more. We could take them the house, listen and all. Honestly, 164 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: the truth is, if we were the Eagles right now, 165 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: we would be ready. We can talk all this stuff 166 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: about having to catch momentum and whatever. We're gonna all 167 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: the starters are gonna play. If we were in the 168 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: Eagles position right now, a lot of our starters would 169 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: be sitting on the sideline. Um. So if I was them, 170 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: that that's that's what I would be doing. They actually, 171 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: they absolutely have nothing to play for at this moment, 172 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: and it actually puts more pressure on the Cowboys to 173 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: go out there and perform better knowing that the Eagles 174 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: may sit their players, right, because what you don't want 175 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: to do is you don't want to have the Eagles 176 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: go out here and say, you know what we offered 177 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: us on and then we go out there and lose. 178 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: If you remember that six and teen year we went 179 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: out there to the Eagles and we was like, you know, 180 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: this should be good. You know they ain't really it 181 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: ain't really playing for them. I think they had one 182 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: of the one of them had Yeah, they had already 183 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: won it. And that was a tough game. That was 184 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: It came down to the wi y'all want some playing time. No, 185 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, man, it's like it's a lot going into 186 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: this this Saturday game, short week. We got players who 187 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: need to get in here and get their feet wet 188 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: before they get into the tournament. So this this would 189 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: be very interesting to see how this plays out. Will 190 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: let me ask y'all both this question. Do y'all think, um, 191 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: the advantage could go to the Eagles if they rest 192 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: their players and they see what type of game playing 193 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are trying to go against their defense or 194 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: against their offense. They could use that for film study 195 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: if we had to play them right again next week, 196 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: you still like the advantages for the Eagles. And let 197 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: me tell you something. I was watching clips on Twitter 198 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: Twitter the other day and it was it was backing 199 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: up what I said about teams finding out what Kellen 200 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: is doing. Right when you see Buddha Baker get out 201 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: there and jump that that that jailbreak screen, they tried 202 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: to tea like like how many times are we gonna 203 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: do this? When you see Zeke lining up at fullback 204 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: on third and one, he's getting the ball, they're doing 205 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: like we do the same stuff all the time. So 206 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they need any additional game game film. 207 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Specifically on the offense, we need to find a way 208 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: on the offense to be a little bit more creative 209 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: or actually a little bit more simple. Get the get 210 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: the big time players the ball, Get them the ball. 211 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to. And we've seen it 212 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: all over the league. You know Green Bay with Devonte 213 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: Adams Cooper cut over there in LA he's leading the 214 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: league in all three categories. Alan it did like, if 215 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: you are that guy, and every team has a guy 216 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: that's considered that guy when it comes to the receiving room, 217 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to give him the ball. 218 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: Whether it's reverses, bubble screens, I don't care what it is. 219 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: And he might not be successful the first couple attempts, 220 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: Like you might throw the ball to Mark Cooper, he might, 221 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, catch one of the three, but at least 222 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: you're involving him early in the game, getting his confidence 223 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: up early in the game, and who expect that ball 224 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: tom to come to him? And we saw when you 225 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: get the ball to Cooper early in the game, it 226 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: opens things up for the rest of the offense, the 227 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: rest of the receivers. Hope league, we can get a 228 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: game listen, and I'm gonna keep listening. I'm gonna keep listening. 229 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm okay, Justin Herbert Keenan Allen, Okay, I'm gonna go 230 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: Alan Clan or Justin. I mean, you can literally go 231 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: down the list for quarterbacks who have guys who they 232 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: are going to to key on in those type of situations, 233 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: and then ours is literally only talk. We only talk 234 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: about Amark Cooper in that situation. Outside of one game 235 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: when he made a little noise in the locker room 236 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: and said, hey, they're not focusing on me. I think 237 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: I can help us win these games. They came out 238 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: and they focused on them, and then they ran away 239 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: from it the next week. Same thing with Zeke. Actually, 240 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: Zeke need to come out, Hey man, Hey look, if 241 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: y'all give me the ball and put put the ball 242 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: in my hands, then I can help you guys. Feed Z. 243 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: I ain't seen the feed ze sign in weeks. He's 244 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: trying to be that. He's trying to be that good 245 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: team trying. I don't want to feathers. I don't want 246 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: anything to do. He must be vegan. He listen nine 247 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: carries my man, he loses a weight. They let us 248 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: out there help help the guy out. But so, Danny, 249 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: are you Are you saying you feel the offense is predictable. 250 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: I know I'm not. I'm not saying I believe it's predictable, 251 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: but I mean, I believe that when we get in 252 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: certain situations, we are running some predictable stuff, all right. 253 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: When you see the lineman line up out there, we 254 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: saw at the beginning of the season, We're like, oh, 255 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: that's great. You see what Keller Moore did and like 256 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: literally Bouda Baker said, I know what's coming and almost 257 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: picked that thing off for six. All right. In the 258 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: same thing we saw in this game where the ze 259 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: lines up at fullback offset and then you have a 260 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: running back lined up behind whoever there's line up behind 261 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: the quarterback and they turn around handed to Zeke. We've 262 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: actually gotten stopped on that play a couple of times 263 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: like these, like it's it's it's it's a few plays, 264 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: but it's the situation that they're being running that that 265 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: sometimes becomes predictable, specifically for players who are in that 266 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: in that type of situation. Boode Baker is an All 267 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: Pro player, like he's going to see that, uh, And 268 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what's what's holding us back? 269 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: But specifically you have to you have to get the 270 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: ball to Mark Cooper. Oh, y'all forgot Chasing Burrow? Just 271 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: keep yeah, Chason Burrow, what's the third twenty seven? You 272 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: know where the ball is going? Going to number one? 273 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: All right? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But 274 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna get that man a shot. All right. He 275 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: ain't making twenty million dollars a year. Okay, So all right, 276 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: So so based on what you guys are saying, how 277 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: much do you now put this on Dak Prescott because 278 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers going he's going to Davante. I'm talking about 279 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: that's where he's going. You know he's gonna go there. 280 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: Joe Burrows looking for Jamark Chase he out here. How 281 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: much do you put on Dak Prescott for not saying, okay, 282 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm going roller here to Mark Cooper. I'm putting them 283 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm putting the majority on it. I'm gonna go ahead 284 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: and do it. Whether it's seventy thirty, sixty forty, I'm 285 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: putting the majority on Dak Prescott. And the reason I 286 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: believe that is he has the power, all right, when 287 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: he's at the line of scrimmage. We've seen he has 288 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: the power to either checking the run, checking the pass, 289 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: switched the offensive line protection this way that way. He 290 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: is basically extension of the coaching staff on the football field. 291 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Like he's Him and Keller Moore are basically like this. 292 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean they teammates together, quarterback coach. Now he's an 293 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for him, they're like this. I believe that 294 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott not only has you know, the power at 295 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmas, but the cash to do so. 296 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: If he's like, you know, we're gonna get this guy 297 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: to ball, who's gonna tell him no, Like, you know, 298 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: you cannot throw the ball to Mark Cooper on this play. 299 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna do that. So to me, I think he 300 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: has a cash and he's the guy that has to 301 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, I gotta get nineteen involved 302 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: earlier offen, Listen, I'm going sixty forty forty on Dec. 303 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: Sixty one. And the reason that I'm doing that is, 304 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: like you said, the quarterback is an extension of the 305 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and I think one these guys already have 306 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: to go out there with a ton of tons of 307 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: things to think about like you said, protection, what formation? 308 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: What check? What this? What that? And now you want 309 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: to add an additional piece to to where he has 310 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: to kind of go out on his own and do it. 311 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you when he goes out there, he 312 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: already has to say, what are they lined up in here? 313 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: Because I got to check for this one? What are 314 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: they lined up on the right side? Because I gotta 315 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: check for this one? And then now as you're trying 316 00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: to communicate all that, it's like, you know what, as 317 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, let me line up all my 318 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: receivers over here and put a Mark Cooper over there 319 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: and get that communicated, and then get a Mark Cooper 320 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: the ball. So I'm saying that Kellen should put this 321 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: in the game plan. Hey, let me tell you something 322 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: that no matter what happens, Okay, no matter what happens, 323 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: we're going to Coop. And the way you can do 324 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: that and say three we all know three bout one. 325 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: If you put the running back to the three receiver 326 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: side and you leave a Mark Cooper on the back side, 327 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: that is literally going to be one on one ninety 328 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: percent of the time unless they're running two man like. 329 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: Other than that, that's a one on one call. We 330 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: know Mary Cooper's rout running his slants. He can run digs, 331 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: he can run gost, he can run all that. So 332 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: he can literally get out there and work that other 333 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: cornerback and we just not have We've not seen that consistently. 334 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't actually think we've seen that at all. I 335 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: would love to see, like what his win percentage is 336 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: like when he's going out there and he's getting these routes, 337 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: if he's open or not. I mean, I would love 338 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: to see is right now. You know, I'm putting the 339 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: onus on that because I believe he's that leader, he's 340 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: the franchise whatever, and he has a cachet to be 341 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: able to to do that. But I wonder if is 342 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: he getting open, because we gotta see, like all twenty two, 343 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: is he even back? Maybe he's getting locked up. I'm 344 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: going to die on the field with a Mark Cooper 345 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: getting the ball and not being open like like that 346 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: is a bet that I'm going to take because every 347 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: time we've seen him be able to get catches in target, 348 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: he's been watching, he's been wilde open. I don't think 349 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: you can guard that dude one on one especially intermediate routes. 350 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't I don't think you could. 351 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you can guard him in that. And 352 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: there's always a way for you to get get him 353 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: the ball in no situations specifically. Just watch DeVante Adams. 354 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: Just just watch them. It literally happens. Everybody knows who 355 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: the ball is going to. Every time that ball is 356 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: now is DeVante Adams. You got to focus on him 357 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: to somehow to do end up with ten eleven cats 358 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: one hundred fifty yards every week. And I don't understand 359 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: how these defensive coordinators if I if I want to 360 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: get DeVante Adams, I don't give what you in. I 361 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: am putting two. They're gonna be on that vice gript 362 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: rember how they used to do. Calvin Johnson used to 363 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: be like the punt vice cript. That's how I'm doing 364 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: these guys. And we don't see that on a Mark 365 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: Cooper like he's sometimes he's one on one coverage out there. 366 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: We're not giving him. Well, well, you know what happens 367 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: with with a team like Green Bay. You know what 368 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: they can do. They can run the ball, right, So 369 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: when you have those type of situations where you just 370 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: sprint it out and you got a J. Dillon and 371 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: you got Aaron Jones out there. Yeah. It puts the 372 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators in those type of situations. Us, they're gonna 373 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: run it nine times. It's okay, they're gonna run the 374 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: nine times. It's all right. We're gonna get out here 375 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: and play how we want to play. All right, we're 376 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna make them. We're gonna dictate to them 377 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: what they're gonna run. I think Keller Moore also falls 378 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: victims to that often, starting with Tampa. Tampa was able 379 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: to dictate that we were not just off the run 380 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: the ball against just off the and then they can 381 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: do that same thing with them. They can do that 382 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: same thing with Ceedee Lamp and Dak will have to 383 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: look the other way because that look is not something 384 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: that works for whatever offensive player is called on killing 385 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Moore's playsheet. Okay, uh, let's get a break in here. 386 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: Power rankings are out.

I think I've been 445 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: saying the same thing about the offense. I think for 446 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: literally half the season. I still think that our defense 447 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: can be elite as long as we have the offense 448 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: doing doing something right. When you go out there and 449 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: you're going three and out, defense is fighting and scratching 450 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: the claw to hold these teams the field goal, and 451 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: then you go three and out and put them right 452 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: back out there. I think that's a recipe for disaster 453 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: for our defense. So our offense does have to bring 454 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: something to the table, like you said, twenty four twenty 455 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: five points, give our defense a chance to get out 456 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: there and make a play to change the game like 457 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: dlof did. We didn't have the time out, but give 458 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: our defense that type of shot, and I think we're okay. 459 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's negative. I think it's we're seeing 460 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: what needs to be fixed this week going into the 461 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: playoffs in order for us to be successful. I still 462 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: think we can be a successful team. We just need 463 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: to go out there and show it against a playoff team, 464 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: which which would be the Eagles if they play everybody. 465 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: But no matter what, we need a good we need 466 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: a good positive showing. Yeah. I don't think it's too 467 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: negative at all, you know, because we go out here 468 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: and we praise them for when they beat up on 469 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: New York or they beat up on Washington, or they 470 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: beat up on some of these other teams. Can we 471 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: praise them? We say, you know, they playing great defenses 472 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: on fire. But I've always had this, just this thought 473 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: in the back of my head, thinking, Man, if we 474 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: go ahead gets better quarterbacks and better teams, it's gonna 475 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 1: be a little shaken. We're gonna have to have one 476 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: of them top performance. It's one of them complete games 477 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: like in Atlanta to go ahead and win the game. 478 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't think we're good enough to just one side 479 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: of the football dominating still get a W. I think 480 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: both sides, maybe even all three phases with special teams, 481 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: has to play well in order for us to get 482 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: a dub over the better teams out there. So I 483 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: don't think it's being too negative. I think we're just 484 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: stating the obvious. You know, we're staying obvious. This offense 485 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: right now has no identity. I mean and and right 486 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: nowity that's either inconsistent in the past game or it's 487 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: not enough attempts in the run game, or the run 488 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: game is just getting shut down completely. But we have 489 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: no no identity in this with this offense. And defensively, 490 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: it's like if we don't get four or three takeaways, man, 491 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: are we gonna, Are we gonna be able to win 492 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: the game? You know? And and that's an absurd like 493 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: just level of defensive play that you gotta you gotta 494 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: play if you want to be able to take four 495 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: get four takeaways each and every game. I mean, that's 496 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: just that's just that's just you. You can't you can't 497 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: do that. You just can't do that. So to me, 498 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: it's it's not unfair. I think it's fair criticism. And 499 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have got to play better, especially when we 500 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: go against playoff teams. I was still gonna say, listen, 501 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: d Law came out and we should have had that turnover. 502 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: Should have we should have We should have had that 503 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: one turnover in this situation because Mojoe moment. That's Mike 504 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: McCarty's thing. Mojoe moment. This is the Mojoe moment. And 505 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: we one we we can't get in New York to 506 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: get in because they say it's not enough evidence or whatever, 507 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: but we don't have the time out to actually challenge 508 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: that because it's right before like the time and of 509 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: that is horrible. But when you talk about like opportunistic teams, 510 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: it's still to me counts as the defense being an 511 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: opportunistic like we you know, they did everything they could 512 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: that game and it did it did not. It didn't 513 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: work out for them, But that's that's taking the ball away. 514 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: So I still think we still have an opportunity to 515 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: do that. Even if it's not four times, you still 516 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: got one to two. Because Curse gets out there and 517 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: he dropped, he drops off, I could have turned the 518 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: game all around. So so we still have the defense 519 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: can still get one of the two takeaways no matter 520 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: who you're playing against, because that's two on Arizona that 521 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: we should have had. Those are missed opportunity for big players. 522 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: But we can still do it. And after the game 523 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot of players were upset about that. They went 524 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: after the officials. So I'm expecting guys to have to 525 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: write a lot of checks to the league this week. 526 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: League gonna get fat based off so many Cowboys players 527 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: criticizing the officials. Former defensive tackle Tony Cassius, who was 528 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: on three Super Bowl teams with the Cowboys, tweeted this 529 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: out and I want to get your take on this. 530 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: When the church, he said, when you blame the officials 531 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: for a loss, you need to look in the mirror 532 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: Are we that good your take on that? Yeah, I'm 533 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: with Tony on that one, because we talked about this 534 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: on the pre and post game or the post game show, 535 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: when pretty much the entire guys that they asked to 536 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: do interviews after the game. We're basically saying, you know, 537 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: we had to go against two teams today, the refs 538 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: in Arizona, and you can't do that. You can't do 539 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: that because the refs, you know it didn't didn't mess 540 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: up when they went up seven, oh, didn't mess up 541 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: when they went up fourteen, oh, you know, twenty one 542 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: to three. I mean it was you had opportunities to 543 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: get yourself in the game and not rely on the 544 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 1: last second fumble that could have been or could not 545 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: have been. I mean, you had opportunities in that game 546 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: the stake to put your mark on that and take 547 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: the control of that game, and you didn't. You didn't, 548 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: and you got to hold yourself accountable on that one. 549 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: You can't sit there and blame the refs because look, 550 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: they're humans too. They're gonna make mistakes. They're gonna throw 551 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: flags that they think are flags and we may not 552 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: think they're flats. But that's just a part of the game. 553 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: Just like injuries are a part of the game. Refs 554 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: are a part of the game. You can't blame that. 555 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: You gotta hold yourself accountability. Look, Arizona went out there, 556 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: they out coached you, they outplayed it, and they got 557 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: him doub At the end of the day, you just 558 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: kind of suck it up and being I'm gonna say this, man, 559 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: he's about ninety five maybe nine correct, and I'm gonna 560 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: say this. I'm gonna say this, No, not for us. 561 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: If you're talking about the New Orleans Saints. Oh yeah, okay, 562 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: that's different. If you talk about the New Orleans Saints 563 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: and those type of situations, was there, then you have 564 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: an argument, all right, yes, like they were driving, that 565 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: was a clear opportunity they would have been to win 566 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: a game. Like hours is they get the fumble. We 567 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: still have to make stuff happen. You know, you got 568 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: to get out there to do it. So, like coaches 569 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: always say, they're like four to five players in the game, 570 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: they really turn the game, all right, So outside of 571 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: that possible fumble, there's still four or five opportunities that 572 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: you have to to win the game, and that ain't 573 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: one of them. A right offense struggle for a long time, 574 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: and the real like the realization of it is the 575 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: offense started putting up points when the defensive Arizona started 576 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: playing a little lacks, right, they were just trying not 577 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: to give up the big play that you start. You 578 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: started methodically moving the ball down the field. It seems 579 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: a lot easier than it did in the first three quarters, 580 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: right because they were playing playing a little different Um, 581 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: same same thing that happens with us. So what offense 582 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: did not play well this game? No, no matter what, 583 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: they made it closer at the end. But realistically that 584 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: that team was like I think, I think we're okay, 585 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: We're just gonna play not not to give up the 586 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: home run. Um, so yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't complain 587 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: about the Reds even though you know it was a 588 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: fun Where do y'all think this is? This is coming 589 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: from them? Y'all think it's coming from up top, like 590 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: the head because it's the second game, because I think 591 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: it was the Raiders game and things giving it. Now 592 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: this game where you know, things don't go our way 593 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: and we lose the game, and then the first thing 594 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: we come out and say is that we had to 595 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: go against two squads a day. We had to go 596 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: against the rest. Where do you think that's coming? Didn't 597 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: that's the players just saying themselves, like, man, it's the 598 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: refs against us, or is it somebody up top head coach? Hey, 599 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: what's going on? What they're really saying? A man, this 600 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: dude would have made this kick again, we would have 601 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: been Okay, that's what they said. But you can't talk 602 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: about Joe's teammates, So we're gonna put it on somebody 603 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: else because make the kick broke? Do you know how 604 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: hard it is to coach in a big time game 605 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: when you don't have confidence in your kicker, stuff like 606 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: when you don't have that ultimately man's look, he could 607 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: we know he could hit the goal post or something 608 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: from sixty, But if you don't have confidence in the 609 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: guy hitting it from forty eight thirty, You know what 610 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Chips, that's making extra points. That is a 611 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: hard thing to do. I'm surprisedly we can't start going 612 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: for two more man, And I'm ain't got no comforts, Superman. 613 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. Anybody else? Yeah, yeah, too late 614 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: for that, thank you. It's it's too late for that. 615 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: And this is a lot, a lot of this right 616 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: now has been on on Fossil. This is his guy. 617 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: He brought up for the Ramsay game, that stupid contract 618 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: and during training camp. I can't, I can't emphasize that enough. 619 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: This dude had this dude hurt and there's no competition 620 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: and no kickers out there. I'm sorry, I hadn't seen 621 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: anything like you. Man. This is I just man, I'm flabbergast. 622 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: I think it's just silly. Now, how about this note 623 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: from John Macholda. He tweeted out NFC playoff kickers. Matt 624 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: Gave of LA two miss field goals, one missed extra point, 625 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: Jake Ellie to Philadelphia three miss field goals, zero extra 626 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: points missed. Ryan suck Up of Tampa Bay four miss 627 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: field goals, three miss extra points, Greg Zerline the Cowboys 628 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: six miss field goals, five miss extra points, Matt Prader 629 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: of Arizona seven miss field goals, too, missed extra points, 630 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: and then Mason Crosby of Green Bay nine miss field goals, 631 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: one extra points. Listen, no matter the numbers matter, but 632 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: the situations matter more for us, right, it is when 633 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: are you missing these field goals or how does it 634 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: play out at the end of the game, Like Mason 635 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: Crosby's out there missing them, but he Aaron Rodgers still 636 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: out there putting up buckets and their offensive playing well enough, 637 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: defensive playing well enough for them to win the game. 638 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: I was just putting us in a situation to where 639 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: we're chasing points and then we're losing by the exact 640 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: amount of points that you missed on field goals and 641 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: extra points, which which makes it a little bit more. 642 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: It just makes it worse. It just makes it worse 643 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: because just like you said, it's not like when when 644 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: it comes down a nutcutting time and he has to 645 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: make this to either tie the game or put us ahead, 646 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: he's usually money. Like the season, he's usually been money. 647 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: It's those early in the game. I'm just gonna come by. 648 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: This is a routine kick for me. This is forty yards, 649 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: thirty five yards is easy money. And he hooks him 650 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: left where he sails him somehow. And then, like you said, 651 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: we're chasing these points. When do we go for two? 652 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: What do we keep going for just an extra point? 653 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: And it wavers your confidence. It wavers your confidence because 654 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be routine from from what life for 655 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: hitting for this guy from forty end fifty end, it's 656 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be routine, but those are the things that 657 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: he's missing and it's costing us in the long run. 658 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: The problem might have is the whole amount of confidence 659 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy kept having in this guy and talking 660 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: about how he kicked the Rams to a field to 661 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: a super Bowl when he was there with with with 662 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: the Rams in the Superdome against the Saints. I just 663 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: feel like, dude, you're you're praising a guy for what 664 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: he used to do. Yeah, he's not that guy anymore. 665 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: And it's very clear I haven't played the game. You 666 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: guys are out there, and you guys who played on 667 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: special teams, so you understand the whole mentality out there. Dude, 668 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys score a touchdown, I don't get up 669 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: and go get a drink anymore. I sit there watch 670 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: the extra point because you don't know what this dude. 671 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: That's how scary it is right now. It's extremely scary. 672 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, I'll go back to our 673 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: days with Dan Bailey, like you know, when he was 674 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: on fire, when he was when he was that that 675 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: stretch run three four or five years. He couldn't miss, 676 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: He could not miss. But when he fell off, I 677 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: mean he fell off a cliff and he started hooking 678 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: him left right, you couldn't you couldn't find a goal. 679 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: He couldn't find the center of the goal post. And 680 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: I hopefully you know this doesn't happen to their line 681 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: at least for this stretch run. But man, if he 682 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: falls off, the kickers usually fall off extremely hard, and 683 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully he's able to regain his swing, regain 684 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: that at whatever swing momentum he had, But we gotta 685 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: stop getting these hooks left, especially in the playoffs where 686 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: it could come down to a two or three point game. Listen, 687 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: it is what it is. It is. It is what 688 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: it is. It is what it is that I mean 689 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: ain't known you can do about it. And he's our kicker. 690 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: Hopefully he finds a way to get hot in the playoffs. 691 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: It's just the showing, uh that we've seen throughout the seasons, 692 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: particularly with not having any competition and training camp. But 693 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: than him being hurt and knew he out there and 694 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: watching nobody actually get kicks like that, that is that 695 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 1: is something that's concerning. But listen, he's a vet, and 696 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: if they believe that he can get hired and get 697 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: this thing straight and get this thing on on on path, 698 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: then well, y'all, I'm gonna please please help us. Oh 699 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: so so literally at this point in time, I hate 700 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: to say it, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it. 701 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: I think this man is gonna cost the Cowboys in 702 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I do. I think everything is lining up 703 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: for You've already had three football games where you can 704 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: look at the fact that his lack of performance to 705 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: make to do his job has cost the Cowboys, So 706 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: why will it not not cost them in the playoffs. 707 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: I just think it's going to be more of the 708 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: same because what they played against Arizona, they all said, 709 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: this is a a state in the game. You know, this 710 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: was a playoff type team, and this guy came up 711 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: small one more time. I don't I don't see how 712 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: he's not going to continue to do what he's been doing. Yeah, 713 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: the evidence is there, just like there's like our offense. 714 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: The evidence is there for our offense. Man, we got 715 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: a six or seven game um example of what our 716 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: offense is. And that's why it's gonna be hard for 717 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: me to think that unless we play our guys and 718 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: build this momentum going into the playoffs, that we're just 719 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna be able to flip a switch and be hitting 720 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: on all cylinders, at least offensively. Listen, because defense travels, 721 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: and I think we had been on it. We have 722 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: been on like a four or five game streak of 723 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: the defense playing excellent and they still played. They still 724 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: played well enough for us to win the game against Arizona. 725 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm still not counting them out from being able to 726 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: carry us throughout the playoffs as long as the offense 727 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: and the special teams bring brings a little bit to 728 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: help them out. Yeah so so so I still feel Okay, 729 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be on grig. I'm really I'm 730 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna put the onus on the defense at this point 731 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: because I believe that this is the X factor for 732 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: us to be able to one have to play on 733 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: the road. If we do and and and hold these 734 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: teams to under twenty five points of the offense still 735 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: has an opportunity if they score under thirty. Yeah, all right, 736 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: let's get our check the break in here when we 737 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: come back.

I'm gonna give him straight 798 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: up B. He's getting to be he's getting to be. Listen, 799 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think you could discount the 800 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: fact that this team does have eleven wins, possibly going 801 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: on twelve. All right, and you're also in the playoffs. 802 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: You turned the team around from what you had last year. 803 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: You've been able to get guys to play better than 804 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: they did last year. On defense. We credited to dan quinn, 805 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: but it's also Mike McCarthy. He got dan Quinn in here. 806 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: He allows dan Quinn to be the coach that he 807 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: can be. So I'm gonna give him a BEA. You're 808 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: looking at possibly a twelve win team, division winner, possibly 809 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: a number two seat, So I'm giving him a B. 810 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: A you game, I'm gonna go ahead and give him 811 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: a C plus, right mcgiel m a C plus.

He 815 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: was a little five or six and six and six 816 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: and ten last year because made yeah, yeah, six and 817 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: ten last year. He turned this thing around eleven and five. 818 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 1: Right now they're going to the playoffs. But the reason 819 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: I can't really give him a B and the reason 820 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: I can't really give him an A is because, look, 821 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I think the majority of what 822 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: we talked about it on this show thousands and thousands 823 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: of times, the majority of the guy that turned this 824 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: defensive around, it's Dan Quinn. It's his system. It's him 825 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: putting players over system and getting the most out of 826 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,280 Speaker 1: his players. Offensively, we talked about it earlier in the season. 827 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: You know, Kelly Moore's boy Jenius giving all these all 828 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: this stuff and it's offensive. This guy McCarthy was supposed 829 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: to be the offensive guy, but then or Kelly Moore 830 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: is the one that's calling the plays. So to me, 831 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: I gotta give him a C plus because he's done 832 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: a great job of basically turning the culture around and 833 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: make everybody out here is basically saying, all right, let's 834 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: focus on the task out of handed what we gotta do. 835 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: You don't see these guys talking about like last year, 836 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: these coaches can't coach and anything like that. So to me, 837 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: I get, yeah, they could like they could. I give 838 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: him a C plus to turn this culture around. But 839 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: when we're talking about what made this defense turn like that, 840 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't McCarthy, it was Dan quinn. So I can't 841 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: give him above a C plus. You know, listen, we 842 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: played against the Minnesota we got that. That that with 843 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback in the game. I mean, you know, 844 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: we we we did some things well, kool a. So 845 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: you definitely on the cool. I forgot. That's not calling 846 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: the plays, not calling defense. How could we really give 847 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: him a much credit? All I know is I, gentlemen, 848 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: I've seen C plus coaching around the Cowboys. Man, I 849 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: can't this was not a C plus coaching job. Okay, 850 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: you cannot give this man anything less than it be. Okay, 851 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: I seen C plus all right? So so so on 852 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: the dance call the eyear on the dence called the year, 853 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: what did you give Jason Garrett as far as that 854 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: year for coach? Did he win Coach of the year? 855 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 1: That he did? He did that her sixteen? Okay, so 856 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: he didn't win the Coach of the Year. He didn't. 857 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: I don't I don't remember. I don't remember. I will 858 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: forget that he won. He won Coach of the Year 859 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: when they went thirteen and three with the two rookies 860 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: and then McCarthy came in there and beat the daylights 861 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: at him in the first quarter and they ended up 862 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: winning the playoff games. Rogers hit that same third and 863 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: the same dude, this table the floor to the back 864 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: to back. Come on, man, don't discount that well, which 865 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: dis great. I'm glad you said. I'm glad you said 866 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,479 Speaker 1: that because I had been. I was killing McCarthy last 867 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: year for the six and ten and I'm like, hey, man, 868 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: look look at what Green Bay's done without him. They've 869 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: won thirteen games two years in a row and playing 870 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game without McCarthy, And they said, do 871 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: you were the problem? What did the Cowboys get? And 872 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: so here they are again, there's the number one seed 873 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: going thirteen games, and I'm saying, all right, Mike McCarthy, 874 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: you've got the Cowboys at eleven wins. I had him 875 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: at nine. He's done a better job than I I thought. 876 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: And Mike Nolan was the problem. I give him credit 877 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: for getting out of the way of Dan Quinn, and 878 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: so to me, I give Mike mccarthyer a because I 879 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: did not think he could do anything that he did 880 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: this year. I was not betting on it. I had 881 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: lost money in Las Vegas. I said, the Cowboys win 882 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: the division with nine wins, so I'm gonna given a. 883 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: So so you so your A is based off your 884 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: your previous expectation and not his actual body of work 885 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: for this year. It was like, I thought he was 886 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: gonna be an ill but since he go out of 887 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: two more wins and I thought he was gonna get 888 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him again. What about the performance of 889 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: the year. Not because your expectation was so low, And 890 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: he was like, oh man, this is a total one eighty. 891 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: That ain't right. We're giving this man an A for 892 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: staying out the way defense highly gonna do this. So no, 893 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm not on the fence. I'm not on the fence 894 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: because Danny, you can relate to this haven having gone 895 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: through an NBA program where you start judging people on 896 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: where where did you come from? Okay, where was your 897 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: knowledge base at? When you take a class like an 898 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: analytics or statistics where you where's your space? And then 899 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: where do you end up that I'm telling you right now. 900 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: To start this season, I did not think Mike McCarthy 901 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: had what it took. In fact, I was one of 902 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: those people saying this dude could be fired. Okay. I 903 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: was like, this dude could be fired if this thing 904 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: doesn't go correctly here. That's where I was on him. 905 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: And the man has gone past the expectations of what 906 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: I thought he could do and what this team could 907 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 1: do here. So I'm gonna give him an A based 908 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: on that, I am what about us? So if we 909 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: if we get in the first round exit, if we 910 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: go in there, we get out first round, we're gonna 911 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna get this man. I ain't give him no 912 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: ad because my expectation, my expectation going into the year 913 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: was different than newis. We had him at eleven wins 914 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: uh and knew he knew he had him in something 915 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: totally different, which to me didn't make sense because I 916 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: believe that I believe that the defense was going to 917 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: be better and we were going to be a better 918 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: team because of it. Dan and you know, and knew 919 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: it is you know, he thought we was gonna win nine. 920 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: So he's like, oh, since we want more than nine, 921 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: that's an a. We should we should have won more 922 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: than nine. Knew if you're being honest. Okay, we just 923 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: got through with two Washington football team and the Saints 924 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 1: with Taysom Hill. Okay, we set we settle one eleven games. 925 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: But be real about that, Okay, be real about at 926 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: the end of the day. I don't think they'll finish 927 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: number two, but they're gonna finish no more than number four. 928 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: I did not see that for this football team going in. 929 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I just did not have these expectations. Didn't 930 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: see them doing what they did that was coming off 931 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: the injury. I just had a lot of doubts about 932 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: this football team, especially what they were doing on what 933 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: was done defensively last year. So I'm just telling you 934 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: that's that's where I am, and that's where I was. 935 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: We all have three different grades, we all have three 936 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: different expectations to kind of what we thought. And that's okay. Now, 937 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: if you get beat, if you get if he pull 938 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 1: a Garret and there's one of these Garret specials in 939 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: the first hand, then yeah, I'm a lord of the 940 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: grade because I reserved the ranking teams my mind. So 941 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: if you get average performance in the playoffs, you know 942 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm going down on them. So there we go. So 943 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: there we go. I just said right now, right now, listen, 944 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: all listen, this is what I know. Okay, whatever you're 945 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: gonna say about Jason gear and all that that funny 946 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: with thirteen, then they get first round by one time, 947 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: all that time, coach of the Year, all that stuff. 948 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: But that's what I want to do before we get 949 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: off the show. Look at the AFC side of things, Okay, 950 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: And as much as we believe that it's possible for 951 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys to get the number two seed, it is 952 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: very it is possible for the Cincinnati Bingers to get 953 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: the one seed in the a FC this week. That 954 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: is not gonna happen. Hey man, I'm just telling you 955 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: that it's possible, it is mathematically possible for the Cincinnati 956 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: Beingles and Joe Burrow to end up as the number 957 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: one team in the ac as we're doing that. And 958 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: I say that because LSU was playing night against Kansas 959 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 1: State eight o'clock. Y'all, make sure y'all tune in because 960 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the first game of the Brian 961 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: Kelly era, and I hope that it goes well. I 962 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: can't believe you just did what you just did right there, 963 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: it's NEWI let's say I get the number one seed. 964 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: Where did I lie? They better get the number one? See, 965 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: because if they two, you know who they're gonna have 966 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: to go against in that first round? What you mean, 967 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: are they two? They like number three right now? If 968 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: they get up to two, huh, what about it? You 969 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: know who they gotta play in the first round? That 970 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: that man, that guy Jay Herbert, That's who they're gonna 971 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: have to go against. You see what happened last time 972 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 1: they went up against each other. If they clinched, who 973 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: have the Chargers the playoffs? All I got do is 974 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: be the team they already beat this year? All right, 975 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,839 Speaker 1: That's all they got. The Charges haven't clinched. They're seven 976 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: right now because because they couldn't be, because they couldn't 977 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: beat the Texas. They's seven right now. That's all that matters. 978 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: But they could be Cincinnati.
