00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: is actually uh, it's in Houston for a signing day ceremony.

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: Is he not? He is his nephew, his nephew from Crosby, Texas. Uh. No,

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: exactly his name he call he calls him something now

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: so he always calls him by nickname. But he's signing

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: with New Mexico. That's cool. That's all Mexico or Army,

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: which it's kind of weird when it comes to football,

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: but in New Mexico's winning or one. Actually, unless there

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: was a last second switch, I don't know. Hey, it

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: is signing day. I hope not, because he had the hat,

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, Derek, Derek brought it down for him. That's nice.

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: I think Taylor helped with that. Yeah, I mean we

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: keep it in the family here at Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, good for Derek. He'll hopefully be back when

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: we do this next week. Anyway, thanks for joining me, everybody,

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: And actually we see it on the TV and here

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: sort of have some unusual, unusual and breaking variety news,

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: which you can't always count on when you do a

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: weekly show. But I want to start this thing off

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: with something that's actually developed in the last twelve hours,

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: which is that Josh McDaniels has withdrawn from the Indianapolis

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Colts head coaching job, which great. Okay, why does that

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: affect the Cowboys, Brian? Why does that affect the Cowboys? Well,

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: it affects the Cowboys because of Matt Eberflus being and

34
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: that you know all along that Mattlus was going to

35
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: be his defensive coordinator, and so at the end of

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: the season, you know, Matt had made the decision that

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't you know, he didn't sign a contract extension

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: last year. Let's talk about he was had an opportunity

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: interview for the San Francisco forty nine ers. Job club

40
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: blocked him, so he felt that, you know what, I'm

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: just gonna ride this one out and see what happens.

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: And he had a he has an agreement with the Colts,

43
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: obviously had an agreement with Josh McDaniels. But Josh McDaniels,

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: as you said, is going to stay in New England.

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: It sounds like that the Colts are still going to

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: honor that agreement. They have several coaches. A matter of fact,

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: they've I was talking to somebody in the league. They'd

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: built a pretty good staff there was It's not just

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: three guys that they'd hired. They were negotiating with more guys,

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: so they we'll see how that all turns out for

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: whoever the next head coach is. Which I'm reminded, you know, Nick,

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: you and I as writers cover this type of stuff

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, including this year, which kind of

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: makes me think of that, which is like, well, you know,

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: we're sitting here like why why can't we go with

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: this stuff? Why? Why why are these teams day dalying

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: on announcing this? Well, yeah, maybe this is part of

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: the Yeah, why the guys changed their mind, it's not

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: very common, which ironically, I mean what I feel like

60
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: one of the most recent times this happened was with

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: mcdaniels's boss, Bill Belichick, when he did this with the

62
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Jets seventeen or eighteen years ago. Is this what the

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: NFL had in mind, because didn't they kind of make

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: some rule changes about this that you can't just go

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: and hire coaches if they're still in the playoffs. And

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: it was just like, you know, rumored that Patricia was

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: going there, and he was going to the right and

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: that's It's funny to me, how like the Patricia, Matt Patricia,

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots defensive coordinator that went off without a hitch

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: like the Lions announced that he went to Detroit. He's

71
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna be there with the Lions and the GM and

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Detroit is an old Patriots guy. But then McDaniels is

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of that. But as far as I

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: understand it, and I know we've gotten a ton of

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: questions about it, That's why I'm leading the show with it.

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: As far as I understand it, for the time being,

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus is probably going to stay in Indianapolis regardless.

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: I think that unless something happens here with Rod Marinelli,

79
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, as a defensive coordinator, if he were suddenly

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: to have a change of heart, retire, or they make

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: a move. I think Eberflus is clearly now. To me,

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like just talking some people that Eberflus could

83
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: get out of his contract there in Indianapolis. I mean,

84
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: if that's the case, but but you'd yeah, yeah, but

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: but you would you know, you would have to you

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: would have to give him. I mean, he obviously wants

87
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: to be a defensive coordinator, so if you were, if

88
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: he were to come back here, you would have to

89
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: make him the defensive coordinator. You've got to believe that

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: the Colts would honor, would honor that situation if he

91
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: wanted to leave, if he wanted to, absolutely, I mean absolutely,

92
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: Hilly would. And and it's interesting you brought this up

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: before we came on the air. I wasn't even here

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: for it. You guys can speak on it better than

95
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I could. But it's at least somewhat reminiscent of Garrett

96
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: and Wade Phillips started their tenure together here, which I

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: mean that worked out fairly well for the Cowboys. I

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: would say I mean, Wade Phillips had a at least

99
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of his tenure was successful, had good offenses

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: under Jason Garrett, and then they obviously named him head

101
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: coach when it went south for Wade. So I guess,

102
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: I guess it can work, but it just sounds awkward

103
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: to you know, well, little we're bringing you on as

104
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: our head coach, but guess what, We've already made most

105
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: of your hires for you. I think it's the only

106
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: difference is that the new coach at the Colts is

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that you know, he knows

108
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: the situation is unique and knows that a lot of

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: like Brian said, a lot of these guys have already

110
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: been hired. So I don't think you're gonna come in

111
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: and parcels like and be like, no, no way, you're

112
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: not my coordinator. You know. Now, maybe it's a different

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: scheme fit than he wants, and you know that that

114
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: could be something to that factors in this. But I

115
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: don't think for the most part, I don't think those

116
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: guys that are hired are going to be left out

117
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: by some new coach that comes in and moving people around.

118
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's probably going to be the

119
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: decision they make to hires. You understand what we've got here.

120
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: You want to be a head coach. Okay, actually made

121
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: pretty two important, actually three important hires because if McDaniels

122
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: was going to call his own plays, then they probably

123
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: were well, they were gonna have an offensive coordinator in title,

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: but they hired Eberfluss the defensive coordinator. They hired both

125
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: their offense and defensive line coaches. Now that is you

126
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: look at your staff. Those are important, very important hires.

127
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: So you know, if you're a if you're a guy,

128
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: for example, if they they're gonna interview, they have interviewed.

129
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: Get the guy named Dave Tube from a Tube I

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: think t oub Kansas City. Yeah, he is h he's

131
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: a special teams coach, but he's been He was with

132
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid everywhere Andy Reid's been. He was with him

133
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: in Philly for a long time, then he went to

134
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Chicago away from Andy, then came back with him to

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City. You know, if you look at some of

136
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: those guys, maybe a special teams coach and maybe has

137
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: a little bit more time time to kind of look

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: at staffs around the league. You know, in your preparation stuff.

139
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: If you're getting ready for a head coaching job, maybe

140
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: you have some guys in mind you'd like to hire,

141
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you have that opportunity to say, Okay,

142
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to I like this guy, I like that

143
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: guy at Buffalo, I like that guy at Baltimore like this,

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: you know that guy? And you know, depending on like

145
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: I say, those I think they understand now going into

146
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: the second round of these interviews, you're the second round

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: at least four taking the job. Would you be willing

148
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: to take on these coaches? And if they say no,

149
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: then the Colts are gonna have to make a decision

150
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: there to either pay Eberflus and them those guys offer

151
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: or or move on to another head coach. Which and

152
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: it's it's easy for us to sit here now and say, well,

153
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, Eberflus is locked in with the Colts, YadA, YadA.

154
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: But what this this news is twelve hours old, fifteen

155
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: hours old. I mean, I think some things are going

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to change here. And I know another another thing that's

157
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: been brought up is that Chris Froshard, who was in

158
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: the building for he's here with the Cowboys. I assume

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: that means he signed his contract. I saw him each lunch,

160
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: was chowing down ten feet away from us yesterday. So

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: but he was, he was in the he was at

162
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: least named as a potential candidate there in Indianapolis, which

163
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: if the Colts wanted to look at him. That the

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: rule is that for a head coaching vacancy, you don't

165
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: have to see the admission, you don't seek permission at all.

166
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: And he interviewed for the job, as you said, so

167
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: you know he's he's he's clearly a candidate if they

168
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: want to bring him back. I want to This is

169
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: purely hypothetical, not trying to break any news here, but

170
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: like theoretically the Colts could hire Chris Richard to be

171
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: their head coach, opening up a vacancy on the Cowboys staff,

172
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: which Matt Everfluse could then potentially return to if if

173
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: the Colts didn't want to keep everflucing his contractor if

174
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: they were okay with letting him leave. So I guess

175
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: my point is that it's a very fluid situation, very

176
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: very interesting. I would imagine my guests, and my gut

177
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: feeling is that it's not going to back the Cowboys

178
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: in the long term. I think that. I think Jerry

179
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: in the in Stephen made the decision that either flew

180
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: that they were moving on from this. Yeah, and you know,

181
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: I guess it would be really weird if they come

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: back now and say, you know what, I think Rod

183
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: Marinelli is going to retire. Yeah, I mean he decides

184
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: to retire with two hands on his back, Like sure,

185
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I don't see that happen. I

186
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: don't think this is really going to affect it. It's interesting,

187
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it affects the coin. All Right,

188
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: one last thing and then we can move on, because

189
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I do I have something for you ever just increased.

190
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I was kind of wording you were going, well, you

191
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: guys know more. I didn't change his work. I didn't

192
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: forget one more thing, though, which is just that, you

193
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: know you kind of the mold is kind of set

194
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: for you, and then the whole thing changes. Do you

195
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: think this could prompt them to change how they feel

196
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: about it? Maybe a month ago they felt good with

197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: where it was with Rod Marinelli, but now you have

198
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: a second chance to address that. Maybe it changes your mind.

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe they felt like they've got the right

200
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: guy now in the building. Yes, I kind of leaned

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: that way myself. They had the guy that and nothing

202
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: against Matt Eberflus, but you know his his you know,

203
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: they leaned on him. Rod Marinelli did lean on him.

204
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you can watch the practices. You could see that.

205
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: You could see, you know, who was calling the defenses,

206
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: is sending them in and stuff like that and practices

207
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: and in the games and stuff. But you know, let's

208
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: be honest, I feel like that Chris Rashard is a

209
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: better hire right now. Yeah, they upgraded there, in my opinion,

210
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: they did. You gotta yeah, as a as a coordinatoran waiting, Yeah,

211
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: as a potential defensive coordinator. Give me the guy that's

212
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: had success in this league. Give me the guy I

213
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: know it's coaching the secondary. Give me the guy that

214
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: I think everybody really respects it. Again, I'm not slamming Eberflus.

215
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: Eberflus made a decision on his own. He did. He said,

216
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: you know what, they didn't allow me to do this.

217
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and leave, you know. And he had

218
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: a job lined up, not to his fault, but I

219
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: you know what, he count me in as a guy

220
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: that says you know what checked that box for got better.

221
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 1: I agree, And more so than worrying about how I

222
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: could get eber Flus back in the building, I've been

223
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: more worried about keeping started. Yeah. Well maybe you know,

224
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: if you give him players that he's familiar with, you know,

225
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: that might help. Yeah, yeah, and we can we can

226
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: get into that because I want to talk. I want

227
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: to talk some about that with the emplier over there.

228
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: But Amber, uh and I, I mean, I didn't want

229
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: to lead the show with this because it's it's ancient

230
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: history at this point. But there was a football game

231
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: played on on Sunday night. Sure was Well, you were

232
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: you were mad Following you on Twitter, I wanted to

233
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: give you a platform because I think we know, we

234
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: know how spicy you can get on the microphone from

235
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: time to time, and I just wanted to hear what

236
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: you had to say on the website. So almost cowboys

237
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: dot com it's not up there anymore. Oh no, what

238
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: did you do? Oh just just two pictures split together?

239
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Oh boys, here's arts and here's Dez. Well that whole

240
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: catch thing. I mean, honestly, it it was pretty similar,

241
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: but I still find a difference in it. And I

242
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: don't think it was exactly the same, and I wasn't

243
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: agreeing with people kind of bringing it all back up again.

244
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: I do agree that the lea your face. The league

245
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: does need to improve that whole calling thing and make

246
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: sure that they are more consistent with the whole calling

247
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: of what is a catch and what isn't. I'm pleasantly

248
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: surprised to hear you say that because I thought I

249
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: was the only person in Cowboys Nation who really I don't.

250
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't see those situations as being that similar. That's

251
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: what did happened in front of you that day? Did

252
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: it look like he was making a football move? Dez? Yeah? Honestly,

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: you and I were standing and I almost turn and

254
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: slugged you with one of the Here's here's the thing.

255
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: When you're like, oh, I don't see a football move,

256
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: We've we've all seen that play in slow motions so

257
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: many times that it looks like second nature. But it's

258
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: going for the goal line with that ball and the

259
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: bang bang, live action pace of the moment. I don't

260
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: think you can clearly say that. I think and that

261
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh call was a worse one. Yes, and I

262
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: agree the Jesse James when it was a far worse

263
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: call than death. The thing, the thing that screwed Dez

264
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: is that he went up in the air. So you

265
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: go up in the air, you have to re establish

266
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: yourself as a runner and could be like Terrence and

267
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: just wait for him to come down. I'm not I'm

268
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: not saying he did anything wrong. He got screwed, I

269
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: know that, but he goes up in the air, so

270
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: you have to re establish yourself in the field of

271
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: play and then re established that you're running with the

272
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: ball as opposed to falling. I mean, you know, as

273
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: opposed to you lost your balance and you're just trying

274
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: to do what you can. Zach Ertz never left the ground.

275
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: He caught the ball and just ran straight. It was

276
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: never in doubt that he was in control of the

277
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: ball and moving. The only thing I'll argue with you

278
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: on the des is that did change them change hands

279
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: with Paula. It's like Ken trying to get to the Yeah,

280
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: how many times have you watched that play, just very

281
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: slowly to see all that I saw. It happened ten

282
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: feet in front of me, and you just t eat

283
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: in front of you. You knew immediately all that stuff happened.

284
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: That's why I told you. And you're like, oh, that's

285
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: not a catch. Next I told you. I wanted I

286
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: got violent with not to be a jerk, but one

287
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: of us was right and one of us, Oh no,

288
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: you but you know what the official who was making

289
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: the call mark the ball. Yeah he marked the spot.

290
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, he whar Dez hit the ground? He marked

291
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: that spot. So I'm going on, I'm watching official ten

292
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: feet from him make the call, and then I'm watching

293
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl referee, Jeane Sero Store, I'm watching him

294
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: go under the hood, and then I'm watching him go

295
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: back to the middle of the field where the Cowboys

296
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: had the ball on fourth down. And that's when I'm like, going,

297
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: Helman's right. The other thing that really I think worked

298
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: in zach Ertzs favor, and that's why that's what makes

299
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: the Jesse James saw call so stupid is that one

300
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: he crossed the plane of the goal line, no doubt

301
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: he I mean, the play should be dead the minute

302
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: the ball crosses. Just like if a running back dives

303
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: over the goal line from five yards out, plays dead

304
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: the minute he puts the ball over the line. Yeah,

305
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: he's the same. I did not want the Eagles to

306
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: win for obvious reasons. I just wanted to keep it

307
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: at zero. But I'm glad that they that was the

308
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: right call, even though you can go back and say, oh,

309
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: well what about the desk, Well what about Butch Johnson?

310
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Then if we were gonna take it back, I mean way,

311
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: and that was not all twelve touchdown catch either. So

312
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't think Clements. I didn't think Clements

313
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: catch on. Yeah. I didn't think that was a touchdown. Yeah,

314
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: no that I think that one of the ball was

315
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: clearly moving around there and his foot hits out about

316
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: you know that that's the that's the bigger problems I have.

317
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this. As soon as the ball

318
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: for earth, as soon as it hit the ground and

319
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: went up, I said no catch, said no catch. Yeah,

320
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean that that's to me, that's if you're gonna

321
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: call Dez Bryant that way, ball going down, it's no catch. Okay,

322
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: forget about the des Bryan situation. When you see that

323
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: specific play of arts, would you have called out a catch? No,

324
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: h he's going he's but but see the thing about

325
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: it was they're saying that he was making a football move. Yeah,

326
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, and it's the same thing that Dez was doing.

327
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: But you're stay you're saying because he went vertical, I

328
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: think it's easier to establish that Ertz was a runner

329
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: as opposed to Dazz, which he came down and planted off.

330
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: It's an athlete. It was one of the most athletic

331
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: plays I've seen. Other the best athletic play I thought

332
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: of the year was was Byron Jones throwing the ball

333
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: back underneath him. That was incredible. But but as far

334
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: as Das he comes down and he's lunge, I mean

335
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: he's lunging, he's his foot's down and he's pushing off

336
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: his foot to get to the end zone before we

337
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: get too far in the weeds, I should say for

338
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: the like Dad should have been a catch, Jesse James

339
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: should have been a catch. Sure, Ertz should have been

340
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: a cat. They all so, you want to get better,

341
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: you want to improve that one rule, the rule learned

342
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: to get better and try No. Yeah, Amber said that

343
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: at the top before we went off in the weeds.

344
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: It's hopefully the competition committees are gonna meet this February

345
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: like they always do, and now that it has continued

346
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: to happen. You know, you could look at the desk

347
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: thing and say, well, you know it's up once in

348
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: a lifetime play clearly not it's about us two or

349
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: three times every season play. You know what bothers me,

350
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: Let's keep going. I got one more thing about the

351
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: desk catch that kind of breaking a minute. No, you

352
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: got another point on that. No, I've just seen every

353
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: time the ball moves, it's not a catch. That's what

354
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: I That's that's the way it is. Yeah, I mean

355
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: that that's the way now we've been trained. If the

356
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: ball is moving and you don't have control over it,

357
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: it's not a catch. And Sterator said on the sound

358
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: effects you know, the behind the scenes episode of the

359
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that and I'm talking about Clement right now,

360
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: not arts, but you know he said there was a movement,

361
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: but it didn't look like a loss of control to him,

362
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: which at this point, I feel like you need an

363
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: extra degree to determine the rule, which is how you

364
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: know it's messed up there's to be fixed. There's one

365
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: thing about the play that game that still bothers me

366
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: more than anything, that the officials really messed up that

367
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: fourth down. That ball the clock was running. Des catches

368
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: the ball. They call it a catch. It's on the

369
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: one yard line. The clock is moving from about four

370
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: fifty to four twenty five. Finally they throw a flag,

371
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: they throw the challenge flag. They look at it and

372
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: they say incomplete pass. If that ball was incomplete, then

373
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: the clock should have been back to four fifty five.

374
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: It was it. It never was reset. It goes down

375
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: and then it ends up being where the Cowboys run

376
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: out of time by about twenty five seconds. They they

377
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: could have had to punt and at least at least

378
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: do something to try to get the ball back so

379
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: that one still bothers me there thirty seconds. It's amazing

380
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: how easy it is to get back into halftaged as cat.

381
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: That's how you know. It's an iconic moment. Unfortunately, not

382
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: a good one for the Cowboys. Anyway, We're gonna take

383
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: our first break. We'll get back. We can talk more

384
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl as well as some things I want to

385
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: talk about in regard to free agency and just what

386
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: is awaiting the Cowboys in the next month or so.

387
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,600

426
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: Break and special shout out to the tour group coming

427
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: through the hallway at the start. Right now, so we

428
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: were talking, we're talking Super Bowl, which I'm always torn

429
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: between how much we should. You know, it's the biggest

430
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: game of the year. There's stuff you can learn and

431
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: impart and debate. But it's also the Eagles first championship,

432
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm always mindful of how much people want

433
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: to hear about that, but it's always it's always interesting

434
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: between you know, we just spent ten minutes on the

435
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: controversial matches. We can talk about coaching decisions, but there's

436
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: so much you can take from that and impart it

437
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: onto your team or the team that you cover, obviously

438
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in this case. So I wanted to go

439
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: around the table if you had to pick one thing

440
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: that stood out to you that you'll take from that game.

441
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: I want to know what it was. And Amber, I'll

442
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: start with you since we were so rude to you

443
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: at the top of the show. Okay, how many starting

444
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: guys do they lose at exactly a lot, exactly. So

445
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: my biggest problem here is watching this team that is

446
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: able to get to the postseason win the Super Bowl

447
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they have lost a lot of

448
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: their main guys. Yeah, and then you watch our team.

449
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you can take from

450
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: that and apply it to our team, because right now

451
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: it sounds like all the coaching decisions and all that

452
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: have pretty much been made. But don't tell me you

453
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: lose a player, a key guy, and then everything's done,

454
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: gone to the ground, to the floor. That's bs. You

455
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: may be adjustment and you need to figure out how

456
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: to do that. And how how were they so successful? Yeah?

457
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: You know, and I hate the Eagles. Yes, I'm sure

458
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: you guys do too, most likely. Yeah, but I'll give

459
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: it to them. I mean they Yes, Alan, it was

460
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: a good game. It was entertaining, I would say to

461
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: watch and Nick Foles, great job. You have to applaud

462
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: what he did. And that one play where Tom Brady

463
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: goes off, hands off, the ball runs off to the

464
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: Sideki doesn't catch the ball, and then can you still

465
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: hear me? Yeah, yeah, we got you. Oh. I guess

466
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: my thing is your headphone's cut out anyways, so if

467
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: you're hearing me, you're fine. Uh. Then Nick Foles goes

468
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: in and does the same play, but it's successful at it. Yeah,

469
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: So that was pretty entertaining for me to watch. But

470
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: aside from that, just I guess the play call and

471
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the taking risk, making ballsy moves and being able to

472
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: adjust and do what you need to do in order

473
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: to success, to succeed. I think I think about you

474
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: when I think about that, because you said that during

475
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: the year. You know, Jay, you know everybody in football

476
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: loves to say next man up. It didn't work here,

477
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, just plugging the next guy and trying to

478
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: do the same thing with him did not work. And

479
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: that my argument there would be from an outsider's perspective,

480
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: it certainly looked like the Eagles were way better at adjusting.

481
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the next guy's got to step up,

482
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: but I would argue that they were not doing the

483
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: same things with all of those replacement players that they

484
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: would have other worlds. You know that that was a

485
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: big thing for me. This is gonna Brian, this is

486
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna sound familiar, probably from this seat in this chair,

487
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: but I do want to mention this. And a lot

488
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: of people have said, well, the Eagles lost their quarterback

489
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: and they still went out and were successful and obviously

490
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. I mean, let's not forget the

491
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: Cowboys did the same thing. The cow Now they went

492
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl obviously, but the Cowboys did lose a very

493
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: key player last year and put a rookie in and

494
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: did I mean they have done similar things too. I

495
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: know it's not the same, and that last year they didn't.

496
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: Last year the Atlanta game absolutely killed him and ended

497
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: up being the reason why they didn't make the playoffs.

498
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: But I think it's kind of people do forget that

499
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have done some of these things with backup

500
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: players as well, not to the Eagles level. And you

501
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: got to give Philly and their coach, and I mean

502
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: not just Dak, but we all had so much confidence

503
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: in Chaz Green because of how well he played in

504
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith's place. They their last playoff run before twenty

505
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: sixteen was without Sean Lee. Anthony Hitchin stepped in and

506
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: didn't make a Pro Bowl, but they clearly did not

507
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: fall off in the same manner without Sean Lee in

508
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. I think that's a good comparison, which one

509
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: Nick's comparison too. When they lost Romo and then you

510
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: got a rookie now stepping in, Yeah they were successful,

511
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: but you had an offensive line that was pretty good,

512
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: and then you get the running back which was definitely

513
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: an upgrade from the ones they so now you're having

514
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: these two rookies kind of protected and being able to

515
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: play within like a very comfortable surrounding where they are

516
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: able to succeed. But then again, you lose a guy

517
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: like Tynan Smith. Oh it goes to hell. You'd lose

518
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Allion. That's even worse. Yeah, true story. Yeah, No,

519
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with You've been nodding along, Brian, what

520
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: you got. No, I tell you what. I think everybody's

521
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: made some really good points about that. I think what

522
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: I learned is how important a game day manager is

523
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: as a head coach. You know, I think that's in

524
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at how the game played

525
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: out there. You know. I always get on Garrett about this.

526
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: I don't always feel like he knows the condition of

527
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: his team as the game is going along. I don't

528
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: think he makes decisions as the game is going along

529
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: in the way of his team is. I think Doug

530
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: Peterson clearly knew what was going on in that football game.

531
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: I think Garrett would have gone forward on fourth and

532
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: one at the goal line. I think he would have

533
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: done that, But I don't think he would have gone

534
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: forward at midfield there, you know, with three four minutes

535
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: left in the game and holding some time outs. I

536
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: don't I think he would have punt it. And I

537
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: think that he would have looked at that situation and said,

538
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: you know what, well, let's punting and hold. Well, you

539
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: haven't held him all game. Why are you punting the

540
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: football right there? Why are you giving your team no

541
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: chance to win the game? Fourth and one at their

542
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: own forty five with five thirty nine to play and

543
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: how many timeouts here? I think he had three. I

544
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: have no confidence at all that Jason Garrett would have

545
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: made the same decision. And that's what I'm saying. I

546
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: think it's a no brainer in all honesty. I don't

547
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: think there's going I mean, if you're going against Deshaun

548
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: Kaiser or maybe you punt, but you're going against Tom

549
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: Brady the way the game was going. And this is

550
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: this is why I'm critical of Garrett as a game

551
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: day manager. Is because again, you've got to know that

552
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: your defense wasn't stopping them. You know, Tom Brady is

553
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna get that ball, he's gonna chew up

554
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: the clock, he's gonna make you use all your timeouts,

555
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: and he's liable to score he's liable to get a

556
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: field goal out of it or something out of it.

557
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: But Doug Peterson made the decision right there though. He goes,

558
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get the ball back if I

559
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: and it set him up. It set him up. His

560
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: defense all game long, didn't play to the very end.

561
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: And I think someone came up with a stat I

562
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: talked about Yesterdayner Show Eagles hadn't given up avant given

563
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: up a point in the last two minutes of a

564
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: game in nineteen games. I believe it was I stole

565
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: that from one of the Philly writers in the final

566
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: two minutes of Yeah, all nineteen games, final two minutes

567
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: of the game, they didn't give up a single point.

568
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: And see, that's what that's what she's saying. Yeah, And

569
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, even with that in mind, even even Doug

570
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: Peterson knowing that, he still went forward on fourth down

571
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: because he knew his defense couldn't make a stop. And

572
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and but eventually, yeah, they got the striped sack,

573
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: but the game was already kind of going the way that,

574
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, the way it was, and I just that

575
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: that's that's the I think Jason Garrett from Monday to

576
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: Saturday's good, Sunday not so good. That's my problem with him. Yeah,

577
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, I help me, help me get be the

578
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: difference maker in a game, Be the guy that's gonna

579
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: be the you're the reason why we won today, not

580
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: the reason why that we're You know that it's always close,

581
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: and how many close games has he lost? See? That's that.

582
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: That's what I did that for a reason. Yeah. My

583
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: my take from all this, My take from all this

584
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: is know the condition of your team, Know what it

585
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: takes to be the difference in the game that day.

586
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: That's what I learned. Which that's well, that's an interesting

587
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: point because you can look at the rest of this.

588
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you can sign free agents, you can draft

589
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: players who improve the depth of your team. You can

590
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: hope for better injury luck. Um, I think and that's

591
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like people look at the Super

592
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: Bowl is like this this barometer, like, oh, well the

593
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: Eagles are they're clearly they're so far up here and

594
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: we're so down far down here. I don't I don't

595
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: know that I buy that. Just I mean, the Eagles

596
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: were seven and nine last year. They had, uh, they

597
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: didn't even have that great of a draft. Class. They

598
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: did some really aggressive things on the other front in

599
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: all honesty, and we can trade. We can talk about

600
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: that if y'all want. I mean, they go get Alshon

601
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Tory Smith. They what I think is a

602
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: genius trade for Timmy Jernegan even you know, they gave

603
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: up a fourth round pick for JAGII, which I sit

604
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: here in heights. I sit here in hindsight. Maybe maybe

605
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: the at Darby that's a good get. The which I

606
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: think that's a team that was struggling at cornerbacks play fascinating.

607
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: The Eagles are gonna pick thirty second overall in the draft,

608
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: and then they're not gonna pick again until I believe

609
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: the late in the fourth round because they have they

610
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: have two fourth round picks, but they gave up us.

611
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: They don't have a second because of Carson Wentz. They

612
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: don't have a third because of Ronald Darby. They don't

613
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: have a fourth because of Jagi. But didn't they get like,

614
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: didn't they get a third back because or they get

615
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: a fourth back because of the Jernigan trade they got

616
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: they flopped spot got their third back in last year's draft.

617
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: They use that pick, but they have a fourth because okay,

618
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford trade right, Which really, if everything I just

619
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: told you tells you anything, it's that Howie Roseman is

620
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: an aggressive dude when it comes to draft picks. Um.

621
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: That's where I think the Cowboys really missed the boat

622
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: the most last year is everybody knew that Zeke was

623
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna get suspended at some point. The Eagles didn't even

624
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: They got Jagiu just because they thought he could help

625
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: their team and take him over the top, and they did.

626
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they have seventeen running backs to use them all.

627
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: The Cowboys knew they were gonna need another running back

628
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: and they just said, we'll go with next man up.

629
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: And that's I mean, that's where Philly I think out

630
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: GMed the Cowboys in that. That's and I was about

631
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: to say, I mean maybe the Cowboys didn't you know,

632
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: maybe the Dolphins weren't making it readily known that Jagiu

633
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: was available. Whatnot? Well call them man, do some leg works.

634
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's if I told you that you we

635
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know right now because the compics haven't been announced,

636
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys probably won't pick in the fourth round

637
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: until one twenty something. If I had to guess would

638
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: you rather have picked one twenty five or have had

639
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: Jagie for the six weeks that Zeke wasn't there. And

640
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: that's I wrote a column about it earlier this week.

641
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: Is that, in the grand scheme of things, I really

642
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: do agree with the way the Cowboys handle things. I

643
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: don't think you need to go out handing sixty to

644
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars to free agents. That's why you know,

645
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: we talked about Jarvis Landry last week. I don't care

646
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: about Jarvis Landry. I'm not interested in that. But you

647
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: look at some of the things the Eagles do, Like

648
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: we just talked about, they traded away their third for

649
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: Timmy Jern again and Baltimore's third, so they moved twenty

650
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: spots down in the draft to get a Pro Bowl

651
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: caliber defensive tackle. He was only on a one year deal,

652
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: so they ended up extending him. But even if he

653
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: hadn't been good, whatever stended Jeffrey too. Yeah, And that's

654
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: they made these calculated, aggressive moves that worked out for him.

655
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: They got Jeffrey for fourteen million dollars, they extended him

656
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: for fifty. They got Jern again for a third round pick.

657
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: They extended him for forty five. But if those guys

658
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: hadn't been good, they could have walked away for no

659
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: big deal at all. That's Tory Smith. They got for

660
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: five million dollars. Well, maybe the best move they made

661
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: was going to get their their goal quarterback Nick Foles back. Yeah,

662
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: that was the probably their best move right there. Even

663
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: how could you argue after what happened the last month

664
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, I mean, I mean, hey, trust me,

665
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: I was throwing dirt on the guy. I really I

666
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Dug Peterson did a great job with him, really did.

667
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: And too. You know, the week seventeen game against the

668
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys looked awful and you're thinking, how they going to

669
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: do this? They figured it out. Then they figured out

670
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: something in the Atlanta game. It took a week off

671
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: and they figured it out. Yeah. You know again that

672
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: goes back to coaching. Can you find a way to

673
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: take your players and give them a chance? That's what

674
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: Ambro was asking about. She's like, how does how do

675
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: backup players here just go to hell? You know? Basically,

676
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, how does the whole how does the whole

677
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: game plan get wrecked if one or two guys are gone?

678
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: You know, I truly believe even if they get better players,

679
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: let's say, even in the draft. If even if you're great,

680
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: if you're still not being placed in the best position

681
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: possible in good situations, you're still not gonna be able

682
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: to succeed. You're gonna be limited. And this is what

683
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: I truly believe is wrong with this team right now.

684
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: You can get great players, and yeah, they can do

685
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: so much for you, and that I can seek were

686
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: great two sixteen, but other teams didn't have them figured out.

687
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: And it only took a whole year to figure them out,

688
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: and they did. You saw it this year. So again, yeah,

689
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: great players on the field, it's only gonna get you

690
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: so far if you don't get to place them in

691
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: better position. That's something that I we talked about a

692
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. I guess, but that several players did

693
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: tell me towards the end of the season, the season

694
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: that they felt that they weren't being placed in their

695
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: best position. So you gotta know your player, you gotta

696
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: know how you're gonna play them and put them in

697
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: a good spot to be successful. And I would guess

698
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: that's why we've I'm not guessing. I know that's why

699
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: we've heard so much talk about the scheme and being

700
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: Dak friendly. And the interesting thing for me is, you know,

701
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: we're just now starting that process here because of the

702
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: cowboys own hiring practices, so a little I mean a

703
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: little bit delayed in terms of the process of the

704
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: way all this works. You typically have those types of

705
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: meetings within two or three weeks of the season being over.

706
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys obviously waited to fill out their staff. Well, you know,

707
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: and let's let's also too we talk about this coaching

708
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: staff and I'll put it on the players though too

709
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Are the players and this is this

710
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: is Brian broad Us talking. This is not something I've

711
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: learned or talking to people, but it's just my experience.

712
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: Are the players capable of taking your coaching though? Are

713
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: the players smart enough? And I'm not talking about books

714
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: smart I'm talking about are the players smart enough to

715
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 1: to take whatever they learn in the classroom and apply

716
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: it on the field. Or are the coaching staff limited

717
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: in what they can do because the players are not

718
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: capable of retaining the information they're being taught or being

719
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: or that you can't put them in positions because it's

720
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: there's two sides. I guarantee if something will happen here.

721
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: If Jason Garrett and his staff get let out next year,

722
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: we will hear some talk. We're hearing the players talk

723
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: right now. Schemes sucks. You know, we're predictable. Maybe they

724
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: have to be predictable because the players aren't mentally capable

725
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: enough to executing a more elaborate game plan. I completely

726
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: buy that that's possible. I agree. I feel like we're

727
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: talking about one position. I'm just I'm saying, I'm just

728
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying in general because no, because they're done. Because

729
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: you look at what the young corners have done. They

730
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: looked like they were capable. The young I mean, they

731
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: look capable. You throw a lot at them, you know,

732
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: but it might be it might be some positions. You know.

733
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: It might have been the linebacker spot with Jalen, you know,

734
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: and nothing to gets you. I mean, I'm just saying,

735
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm not calling these guys dumb. I'm just saying football smart.

736
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about football smart of getting out

737
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: of bounce to save time. I'm talking about are you

738
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: capable of going into a classroom, looking at the board,

739
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: watching tape, studying and having an elaborate game plan? Why

740
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: do you think again, the Patriots have success. They plug

741
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: guys in because these guys are capable of doing everything

742
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback asks them to do. But I think, sorry, Dave,

743
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: I just think yes, I mean that makes sense. While

744
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: you're think it's a two way street here, you have

745
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: to look at out of the group, how many guys

746
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: are being unsuccessful, let's say, because not everybody is going

747
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: to be dune, so you geta if everybody's kind of

748
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: failing mostly, then it has to be the teacher and

749
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: the way they're teaching things. That's fair. But it also

750
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: though if they're if they're failing to teach it correctly.

751
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,959
Speaker 1: I totally understand what you're saying there. But if you're

752
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: walking out there and things look vanilla and not, you know,

753
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: not any elaborate at all the way it's being run

754
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: or attacked, that would be that would be something that

755
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: I would I would look at first. I would say, Okay,

756
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: are our players capable of doing the things we're asking

757
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: them to do. That's your coaching right there. I'm just

758
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: playing the flip side of it, because yeah, you know,

759
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: you did a good job of throwing dirt. I threw

760
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: dirt on the on the coaching step. But also I

761
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: think you have to look at the players. I really saying,

762
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: I've been on teams. I've been on teams with the

763
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: players work smart enough to execute the game plans. I

764
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: think what you're saying is totally fair and feasible. I

765
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: hope you're wrong, because I've heard way too much talk

766
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: about having so many of the right kind of guys

767
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: For that it's the right kind of guy, just the

768
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: decision maker on the field that's not going to go

769
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: out and get hammered and get in trouble and all

770
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. I think, well, we'd had a long conversation

771
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: about that in the preseason about what right kind of

772
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: guy means, And to me, right kind of guy means

773
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: coachable to a degree and smart enough to figure some

774
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: things out to a degree. That I mean, that falls

775
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: in line with what I think of when I hear

776
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett talk about that the most o the other

777
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: right kind of guys mainly on offense or defense on

778
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: this team, you think think there's a pretty good mix.

779
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't think. I don't think it's

780
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: top I don't think it's too heavy one side or

781
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: the other. Okay, but I mean, we can all think

782
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: of some examples of what you're talking about. I think

783
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: that's fair too. Anyway, what we keep going along, I

784
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: guess that's a good sign of the types of conversations

785
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: we're having. We're going to take our final break and

838
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: you next time I host, I'm gonna let you do

839
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: the So do we all feel better? I felt like

840
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: that was a pretty That was a pretty big vent session.

841
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: You know what this team isn't a bad football team,

842
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: and that when you listen to it, and it's easy

843
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: to say that it's not a good football team. It

844
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a good team last year, but it's not a

845
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: bad football team. And I think that might be what's

846
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: frustrating with a lot of Cowboy fans. I think people

847
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: are frustrated the fact that Dallas did have some key

848
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: injuries and they didn't really overcomer. They didn't like what

849
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles did. If the Eagles had won the Super Bowl.

850
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: Of being healthy the whole entire year, yeah, I trust me.

851
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: In ninety six in Green Bay, we were healthy the

852
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: whole year basically and won the Super Bowl. That's what

853
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: you have to do. You need health as you're going along.

854
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: But they lost. They lost their quarterback, they lost their

855
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: left tackle, they left their starting mic linebacker. But we

856
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: lose our starting left tackle, We lose our mic line

857
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: one of our linebackers. Like Amber said, the team goes

858
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: to hell. Yep, you get all of the Eagles starters back.

859
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: Let's say they're all back, and then you know in

860
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: Week one the Cowboys Week one, let's say they play

861
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: that game Thursday night. The first twenty two players the

862
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys in my opinion, we'll have better football players and

863
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: better talent. But that's where the issue. Is it better

864
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: from one to fifty three. It beat him twice in

865
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen's and I talked about that is I mean,

866
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: which I remember having conversations at training camp about how

867
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: deep we thought this roster was. It's hard to argue

868
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 1: that that's true right now. It And meanwhile, the Eagles

869
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: one with their depth one, I mean, their fifth round

870
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: pick steps in a left tackle, and I mean it

871
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't pretty bad. You're in your third round pick

872
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: didn't play as well as he played the year before. Yeah. See,

873
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: that's the thing about it with you know, with Chaz

874
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: Green and the mistake. And I said this on our

875
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: show yesterday. The mistake the Cowboys made yesterday was trying

876
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: to get their best five out there. And I know

877
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy, folks. I'm sorry, you know, usually trying

878
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: to get your best five out there. But they should

879
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: have left Chaz Green it left tackle. They shouldn't have

880
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: allowed Chaz Green to play left guard. They should have

881
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: just said, let's develop him as a tackle. With with

882
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith's back being balky, the way it is let's

883
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: just use him as a left tackle only and find

884
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: somebody to play left guard. Yeah, I mean and they

885
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: I think they killed his growth by playing him the

886
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: whole preseason at guard and then he gets hurt for

887
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: a little spell and he has to sit out some practices.

888
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: That that to me, not only did they mis evaluate,

889
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: you know, his capability in the Atlanta game, but I

890
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: think they hurt his growth as a tackle by playing

891
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: him at guards. As Joe Looney everard let this team down,

892
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Everybody Joe Looney's ever played. It's

893
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: it's not pretty, but it's not It's not terrible either.

894
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: And I never saw Joe Looney really playing left guard

895
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: in practices a training camp. He was always the center,

896
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: always the center, you know. And I I think if

897
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: they they look back on this, if it's the really

898
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: self evaluation here, you know what went wrong. If you

899
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: can't evaluate your own team, you're you're doomed to fail.

900
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: And if they if they don't evaluate the problems that

901
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: they had last year, that if they don't try and

902
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: address the guard situation in the draft, or a dressed

903
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: the linebacker situation, or get a receiver that can separate

904
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: These are things we talk about all the time on

905
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: our on our periscope stuff. Probably talk about it today. Yeah.

906
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if they don't evaluate their team the right way,

907
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: then all these coaches need to go well, and I

908
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: agree with you for one, but I think and I

909
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: think that's the big thing that you deal with here.

910
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about interaction with fans on the

911
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: frustration around this team right now. Typically when you have

912
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: a disappointing season, Uh, there's some sort of of dynamic

913
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: China sevens disappointing. It's funny, Well, I I'm saying disappointment.

914
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: They had a winning record. Yeah, yeah, the last year

915
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: they made sure that the end exactly, let's let's not

916
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: hit ourselves about it. He wanted nothing to do with

917
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: eight and eight, and on top of that, on top

918
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: of that, and even even if all right, let's say that,

919
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: then let's say the ninth win was a lot more

920
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 1: legitimate than it actually was. The way the season played out,

921
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: between the drama and the losing ninety two to twenty

922
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: two over the course of three games, it certainly didn't

923
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: feel like even eight and eight honestly, and I think

924
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: most people would It was a really disjointed season the

925
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: way it went. Point being, after a season like that,

926
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: you're typically in line for some type of change, whether

927
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: it's an overhaul of the front office and the coaching staff,

928
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: or you know, coming off of twenty fifteen you get

929
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: a top five pick and a chance to really restock,

930
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: or you're on the treadmillimeter mediocrity, which and well, I

931
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: think that's what frustrates people, is that this season sucked

932
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: and most fans don't see a way forward that will

933
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: be drastically different. I guess my point as the counterpoint

934
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: to that, if you're trying looking for a reason to

935
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: feel optimistic, it's you're just talking about self evaluation. Yeah.

936
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the few big takeaways

937
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: that I really did have from the Senior Bowl, is

938
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: that you've brought in enough voices here where I do

939
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: think there will be some changes made within the structure

940
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: of the team, just because there's enough new people here,

941
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: whether that's Chris Richard's input on the back end of

942
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: the defense, we've already you know, the rumor of Byron

943
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: Jones being moved to corner has been beaten into the ground,

944
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: even though there's nothing to substantiate it at all. I'll

945
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: see that Ota. Yeah. Absolutely. Uh, you've got a new

946
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: receivers coach. You've got a new offensive line coach, a

947
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: new receiver's coach. Who's his label is that he is

948
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: a really really good teacher. Yeah, that's true. That's which. Hey,

949
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: it's up to you whether you choose you want to

950
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: buy all that stuff. But eight out of the eight

951
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: to ten out of the twenty people who comprise the

952
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: important parts of the coaching staff, so Killen more half

953
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: of it. You didn't have to. Youdn't have to. You

954
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: know where Killing Moore is going to come in. He's

955
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: going to be the guy that could be able to

956
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: Dak's gonna be able to walk into I see this

957
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: yesterday too. I'm sorry I'm repeating myself, but I thought,

958
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: I do believe it. He's gonna be able. This is

959
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: where Dak is gonna be able to walk into the

960
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: office and close the door and say, hey, listen, Killen,

961
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: we need to do this differently. We need to do

962
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,959
Speaker 1: this differently. And and and Kellen is going to be the

963
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: the the messenger in the in the staff eating you know,

964
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: when they when they sit down as a staff and

965
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett at the table, Kellen tell us about what's

966
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: going on in your room. Well, Dak's really kind of

967
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: upset about this. Need to think about this. See, sometimes

968
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: as a player, you don't want to go into the

969
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: head coach's office, you don't want to go into the

970
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: offensive defensive coordinator's office. You know, you go to the

971
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: guy that you you're with every day. And I think

972
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: that's where Kellen Moore it's gonna be a friendly face

973
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott. Is he going to develop him? No,

974
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: he's not. Can he help him? Yes he can. I

975
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: think the quarterback coaches are already on this roster if

976
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: you think about it. Lenahan watch practice every day, Garrett. Yeah,

977
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: it's not so much really, Garrett. It's Lenihan when they're

978
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: running scout team stuff. This is just because of our

979
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: proximity where our offices are. You look out the window

980
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: and see when they're running, when they're running defensive stuff.

981
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: Lenahan has got the quarterbacks at the other end of

982
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: the field. They're standing down there doing what they need

983
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: to do, which I'm gonna, well, I'm gonna attempt to

984
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: take y'all's two points, which that kind of illustrates what

985
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying is you're gonna be cynical all you want,

986
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: and you know nothing's changed, not enough has changed. You

987
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: need some type of overhaul to get this team where

988
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: it wants to be. To nixt point, I don't think

989
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: this is a bad team. I don't think they're a

990
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: good team, but I certainly don't think they're terrible. You

991
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: look at the Philadelphia Eagles. They finished seven and nine.

992
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: They got to seven wins in a meaningless game against

993
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so you could say they should have been

994
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: six and ten the same way. Sure they self evaluated.

995
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: They went and aggressively fixed a few of the things

996
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: they needed to fix, which is I mean they hit.

997
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: They hit on some moose. That's what you gotta do,

998
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 1: and some things need to happen here. There's no doubt

999
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: about that. I mean the cow I don't know that.

1000
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that the Cowboys can do

1001
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: what they did last year. Ie sit back, let your

1002
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: team get worse in free agency and try to fix

1003
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: it through the draft. That's not gonna There's a there's

1004
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: a page in the in the media guide if you

1005
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: go look at it on the free all the history

1006
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: of the free agency. About every three to four years

1007
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: is a big year. Now, Steven, I'll sit here and say, well,

1008
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, we don't do a lot. We build through

1009
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: the draft, and that will always say the same last

1010
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: year was really nothing. The year before and nothing, and

1011
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: they missed on a couple year before wasn't much. But

1012
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: go back through four years that they'll have a big

1013
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: splash years because they know that they need it. And

1014
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: I think this year might be that. I don't, I

1015
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: mean all it takes us a fun guy to make

1016
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: us blast. Let me ask you this though, if you

1017
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: were sitting on another team in free agency and you

1018
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: got Lawrence Irving and Anthy Hitchens all signed to your team,

1019
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: would you think you had a pretty good year signed

1020
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: a free agents. Sure, Yeah, that's what they're gonna happen.

1021
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna do. Oh and that's that's that's

1022
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: exactly what they're gonna do. And then and then and

1023
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna extend Zack Martin if any, if if all,

1024
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: for those guys, do you think hitches here, No, I

1025
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: mean I'm safety or Hitchens. Oh, I could think they

1026
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: can draft is safety? No, I mean the safety nick

1027
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: is Thomas Earl Thomas cowboy, I do. I do think so.

1028
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: I would like to see Earl Thomas. The problem. The

1029
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: problem I have with Earl Thomas's that it really shouldn't

1030
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: be a problem. You're gonna have to pay him more

1031
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: than ten million dollars a year, you know, and is

1032
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: that going to keep you? I mean, he's an older guy.

1033
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: How's that contract gonna look everybody? And don't don't at

1034
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: me saying oh, he's gonna give you a yeah, yeah,

1035
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: don't give don't at me to say he's gonna give

1036
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: you a hometown discount. That is bs as she would say.

1037
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, he he he's at the point of his

1038
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: career where he believes he should get paid, start with

1039
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: Eric Berry money and go up. That's exactly what we're

1040
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: looking at. And that's why I don't even And I

1041
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: love the player. I absolutely love the player. But I'm

1042
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: just saying, the better chance you have of signing him

1043
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: or getting him, I mean, yeah, you could trade, but

1044
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: you're also like you say, let him. Maybe you get

1045
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: him for a better deal. Maybe you do get it

1046
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: for a better deal. If all a sudden, Seattle says, Okay,

1047
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: we're kicking you to the curb. And he's out. All right, now,

1048
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: let's see how much you want to play for that.

1049
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: That's where you get your cake and eat it. He

1050
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: did say come get me. That doesn't mean just sign me.

1051
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: It means yeah, come yeah up there and get me,

1052
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: come get me. Maybe, Hey, that would I mean, I

1053
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: don't know that it's feasible with the amount of money

1054
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: he could command. But that's the type of thing I'm

1055
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: talking about where I mean, if you give a second

1056
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: round pick for a one year deal, yeah, I would

1057
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 1: hope that. If I'm giving up a second it means

1058
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: he's going to agree to new to a new contract. Similar, Yeah,

1059
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: you might, you're training for ten, ten, ten point five.

1060
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: I would give up a third round pick for a

1061
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: one if he makes the Pro Bowl second Yeah, sure,

1062
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: a right, I would do that. That's that's the type

1063
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: of thing I'm talking about. That's exactly the type of

1064
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: thing that the Eagles did. That's exactly Hey, this is

1065
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 1: what we need. This could buy us safety, the most

1066
00:51:54,440 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: important position, the biggest need here, ambar safety. Safety. Yeah,

1067
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: that's one of my top ones. I've said. He she

1068
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: wants to do it on the defensive side of the

1069
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: flip the pick on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, probably,

1070
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: what are the number nineteen overall? Look, you guys, don't

1071
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: forget you think they have to give it one to

1072
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: get him. I wouldn't. They're picking, they're picking right ahead

1073
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: of you. They're at eighteen, you're at nineteen. If that's

1074
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: what Seattle wanted, I wouldn't give it. Wait, Oh, can

1075
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: I have you Guys always do these mock drafts. I

1076
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: know Dane did one. Yeah, it's like you kind of

1077
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: gloss over the maybe I'll talk about it. You would take,

1078
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: you would take, but Seattle's taken safety? Like then he

1079
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: have a safety for Seattle? Honestly, don't I thought it

1080
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: was Florida State safety. No, that's a yeah, it's that's

1081
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers at seventeen. Oh they're taking James. Yeah, okay,

1082
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: would you take James? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, that's my ideal

1083
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: first round pick. Yeah, erwin James. I don't know if

1084
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: he'll be the safetier lineback you said safety linebacker. Second thing,

1085
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: the way I see is that the Cowboys have to

1086
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: me so many different needs right now that honestly, when

1087
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 1: he comes to the nineteenth spot, however, is the best

1088
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: player at that spot obviously within their needs. You just

1089
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 1: go for that. What are you? What are you most

1090
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: worried about? Your offense? Your defense? That's tough, um, and

1091
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: I gotta fix for you if you want to fix

1092
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: your offense right now. Defense. But yeah, go draft to

1093
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: left guard. But see okay, and get back to where

1094
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: you were in two thy sixteen when you're running the

1095
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: football and helping the quarterback. Be friendly. You know, you know,

1096
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: I love you know, I love the draft. Like we're

1097
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna do the Draft show tomorrow. We're gonna talk about

1098
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: ad nauseum. But to the point of the Eagles, there's

1099
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: even stuff you can do before you get to that point.

1100
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: I went and I went and looked some of this up.

1101
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,479
Speaker 1: How about impending free agent Andre Smith started eight games

1102
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: at tackle for Paul Alexander and the Cincinnati Bengals last year.

1103
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: He probably cost you one point five million to bring

1104
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: in here as the swing tackle. That's the Alabama guy. Yeah,

1105
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: sixth overall pick. Yes, doesn't that sound like something the

1106
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys would do? Washed up former top ten pick or

1107
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: top first round pick. They want everybody to be a

1108
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: first round pick. How about you? The Raiders used to

1109
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: do that. How about you pay him double what you

1110
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: paid Byron Bell to be your swing tackle. How about

1111
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: you go Germon Bushrod started ten games at left or

1112
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 1: right guard for the Dolphins before he hurt his foot

1113
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: and got sent to injured reserve. How about you pay

1114
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: him to be your left guard so you can draft

1115
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: somebody else that you need more. Okay, which there's moves

1116
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: you can make to better this team, and that's my point.

1117
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: If you made a move. Okay, so your best move

1118
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: at safety would be to trade for I mean, if

1119
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: that were doable. Sure, I don't need you look up

1120
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: any other position other than the guard. Yeah. How about

1121
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: Tom Connor Barwin four million dollars to be a rotational

1122
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: pass rusher, had thirty four tackles in five sacks for

1123
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles last year. I mean, sorry, not the Eagles,

1124
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: the Rams Rams used to be an Eagle. Yeah. How

1125
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: about Nigel Bradham. Oh, it's a linebacker. I like that.

1126
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: One eighty eight tackles two years, seven millions. Oh yeah,

1127
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 1: no doubt he's gonna be looking for a payday coming

1128
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: off the Eagles because they're Hey, Okay, now, I don't

1129
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: think every is she gonna let you sign, she gonna

1130
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: let you sign him or are you gonna sign uh

1131
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins. I will be shocked if Anthony Hitchins can

1132
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: be brought back here at a price that works. Which

1133
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: I said the same thing about Terrence Williams last year.

1134
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying it's impossible. I feel like I

1135
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: would get k a carro and not Earl Thomas. That's

1136
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: fine with me. I think I think command a better

1137
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: price than Thanks for giv him credit for what he

1138
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: just said. You wanted a car over him because of

1139
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: the price and the end, the age and the well

1140
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: what is he but Carl was Aye pick? He's probably

1141
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Yeah, he's three years younger. It's all about

1142
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: price for me. But that's my point is there's ways

1143
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: you can be aggressive to improve this roster without breaking

1144
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: the bank. That's what the Eagles did last year. Well

1145
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: that they got that. You're right. They did the one

1146
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: year deals on the receivers. Did Tory Smith a one

1147
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: year deal to a three year deal with two of

1148
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: those being club options they can cut him with. Yeah,

1149
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: so I'm saying they went one year one See the

1150
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys do the same thing. Do you think Tory Smith's

1151
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: bottom fishing isn't it? Is it Tory Smith bottom fishing? No,

1152
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: because he his deal was worth fifteen million, they're gonna

1153
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: wind up paying him five They gave him a Henry

1154
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: Melton deal. If you remember to that, it's not bottom fishing.

1155
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 1: It's it's bargain hunting. But it's not bottom fishing. Okay,

1156
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: So they they're bargains. They hit on the Cowboys didn't.

1157
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: Is that the biggest difference right now? Yeah? No, it

1158
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: is the bargain players, Dole and Carol. You know, I

1159
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: wear it blunt for them. Yeah, they did. They bought

1160
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: They bought it. They bottom fish and there and there's hit.

1161
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't George Selby, Remember George Selby, that's not that's

1162
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 1: that's a guy they signed out of nowhere two weeks

1163
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: before the season started. That's not. But that's that's that's

1164
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, they traded for David Irban. If you

1165
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: look at my timeline, we can't play a game without

1166
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: David Urban. I wouldn't recommend it. If you can help it. Yeah,

1167
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: they can have a good point there right. As you

1168
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: can tell, we've got a lot of ideas and a

1169
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: lot of disagreements about what next to do. For the Cowboys. Fortunately,

1170
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go before any of

1171
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: that stuff comes into play. That's still only February. Justin Timberlake,

1172
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: February eighth. What day is it, It's February seventh. Got

1173
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: a month, six weeks still free agency, even longer till

1174
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: the Draft. We've got a lot to talk about. Thank
