Speaker 1: now live in Ohio. Hi everybody, and welcome to the

10
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday Morning Podcast. A couple of things. Matt Mosley is

11
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: going to stop by to discuss Jerry Jones canceling his

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: radio interview. Jerry is not prone to relinquish the spotlight,

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: so canceling an interview is noteworthy. And in about ten minutes,

14
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: Matt Moseley will stop on by speaking of the Cowboys.

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Forty six million viewers watched The Cowboys and the forty

16
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: nine Ers on Fox. It's one of the most watched

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Divisional Round games of all time. When gambling sports gambling

18
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: was legalized, I said, my only really concern of it

19
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: is now the constant belief by degenerates who have to

20
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: validate their betting losses. Is the games are rigged, folks.

21
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: If Baseball was rigged, the Yankees would end up in

22
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: every World Series. If the NBA was rigged, the Nickson

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Lakers wouldn't be a mess for now a decade straight.

24
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: And if football was rigged, the Dallas Cowboys would not

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: be as inept as they are as a playoff team.

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are automatic ratings forty six million viewers popular

27
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: NBA teams in the Conference Championships, or as they call

28
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: him in the NBA, the Conference Finals get like six

29
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: million viewers, one fifth of that. The Cowboys don't win

30
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: playoff games because the Niners have a better roster. And

31
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: the reason the Niners have the better roster is because

32
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: they pay the right players. They have a better left tackle,

33
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: they have deeper wide receivers, they have better linebackers, they

34
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: have two legitimate corners. They're better at safety. The Cowboys

35
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: tend to pay too much, pay too early, and pay

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: the wrong people. They paid linebacker Jalen Smith a year

37
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: later they had to get rid of him. They overpaid

38
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: for a running back Zeke. They paid Dak more than

39
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: he's worth. If you start looking at the Cowboys' biggest

40
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: salaries running linebacker. That's not what the best teams do.

41
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Dallas has some individual star players, but they don't have

42
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: a single great unit. The Niners have several, the Eagles

43
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: have several, the Chiefs have a couple, the Bengals have

44
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: a few. The Dallas Cowboys are out because they have

45
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: often paid the wrong positions and players more than they're worth.

46
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: And next year it's worse. Dalton Schultz free agent Zeke

47
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Dak massive cap hits. Zeke next year will be the

48
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: number two running back cap hit in the league. He

49
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: is not a top ten running back. Dak will be

50
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: the number two quarterback cap pit. He's not a top

51
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: ten quarterback. Come on, he's not. So the games aren't

52
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: rigged and the Cowboys are where they are for a reason.

53
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year to me as obvious Brian Dabele,

54
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: New York Giants. But when I hear other people like

55
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and Nick Seriani getting suggested, I'm not bothered

56
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: by it. But to me, coach of the year is overcoming,

57
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and that's what separates a great quarterback from just a guy,

58
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: the ability to overcome. I've said this now for several years,

59
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: and you've heard it before. Every quarterback is good with

60
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: a run game and protection and a lead. The great

61
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: ones Burrow Mahomes are great trailing, they're great without run game.

62
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: They overcome. Well, that's Brian Dabele. So think about this.

63
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan has the best roster in football. Yes, he's

64
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: on his third quarterback, but Garoppolo succeeded with this roster.

65
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Brock Purtty is succeeding with this roster. This is a

66
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: great roster. Sarianni has done a great job, but this

67
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: is a great roster in both instances, Kyle Shanahan and

68
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Nick Sarianni, the general manager, deserves a great deal of

69
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: the credit. Brian Dable is winning with a quarterback who

70
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: ended up at Duke that's an academic and basketball powerhouse.

71
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurtz was recruited by Nick Saban in Alabama and

72
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: then went to Oklahoma and Lincoln Riley. He's an elite athlete.

73
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones went to an academic power certainly talented. Brian

74
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Dable got him to the playoffs in a pretty good

75
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: division with a rebuilding roster and a quarterback who, if

76
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: he was on the open market today would arguably fetch

77
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: no offers. Jalen Hurts would get offers. Jalen Hurts would

78
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: get several offers. A mobile twenty twenty three quarterback who

79
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: was in the Heisman race, who puts up big rushing

80
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: and passing numbers and doesn't turn it over much, Jalen

81
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: Hurts would fetch a half dozen offers minimum. Daniel Jones,

82
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure would fetch a single offer on the

83
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: market because everybody understands the value of what day Ball

84
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: did for Josh Allen and Buffalo and Daniel Jones in

85
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: New York. To me, the Coach of the Year award

86
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: is a slam dunk Brian Dable doing more with significantly

87
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: less of a roster and a quarterback talent. Dove Cleman,

88
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: he is a reporter NFL reporter is saying the Packers

89
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: are now exploring trades for Aaron Rodgers to the AFC.

90
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: Makes sense. They don't want to have to face him.

91
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: I get it, it'd be humiliating to face him in

92
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: a playoff game. This way, if you do face him,

93
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: it's probably in a Super Bowl. I think it's really

94
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: smart by Green Bay to consider this. For a lot

95
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: of reasons. Number one, Aaron would not get to a

96
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl in the AFC. It's too crowded, too many

97
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: good teams. Number two, this roster is capable in the

98
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: NFC north of winning without Aaron. If Jordan loves a

99
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: B to a B minus quarterback. Consider the additions needed

100
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: for green Bay, so it's pretty good roster. They could

101
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: use an edge rusher, a receiver, and a tight end,

102
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: and maybe an offensive tackle at some point, though they

103
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: addressed the offensive line in last draft. If you get

104
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: an additional one and a two for Aaron Rodgers, you

105
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: can literally and green Bay as a history of drafting

106
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: pretty well and developing exceptionally well, green Bay in the

107
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: first two rounds can essentially wrap up their needs in

108
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: the draft. Yes, Aaron's a dead cap hit, but Jordan

109
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: Love doesn't cost anything, so it's a wash. I just

110
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: think it's time. I think when people ask for concessions

111
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: in any job, if they're an elite performer, I think

112
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: companies will adjust. Aaron now is not given you the

113
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: offseason commitment. He's not getting you playoff double us. He's

114
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: now really expensive and not terribly flexible in terms of

115
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: his willingness to work with a new offense, new schemes,

116
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: new players. I just think it's time. I don't even

117
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: think it's a big risk. Remember when they moved off

118
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: FARV for Aaron Rodgers. Farv was arguably the most beloved

119
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: player in the NFL, along with maybe Peyton Manning. Aaron's not.

120
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people in Green Bay that

121
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: are over over Aaron Rodgers. I think a lot of

122
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: people feel like he's held them a little bit hostage

123
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Now Jordan loves not as good

124
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: as Aaron Rodgers. But don't forget Aaron's first year. He

125
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: won six games as a starter, so it was bumpy,

126
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: and also far within a year was winning a lot

127
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: of games for Minnesota. If you ship Aaron to the AFC,

128
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of open divisions now that Jacksonville

129
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: is a real team, not a lot of wide open divisions.

130
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Where would Aaron go in the AFC if you're fearful

131
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: of facing him again? He wouldn't be favored in the

132
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: division with Belichick and Josh Allen Mahomes's division. He wouldn't be,

133
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: to me favored in the Joe Burrow Division. And I

134
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: don't think he'd be favored, honestly against Jacksonville. Jacksonville's got

135
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: a shot up out offensive line, think up more weapons.

136
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: They've got a highly capable offensive coach in a league

137
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: that's pivoted in that direction. So I think, move an

138
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: aeron to the AFC, and what do you need? Give

139
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: me a first this year, a second next year, a

140
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: third the following year. I'm good. Aaron's thirty eight, about

141
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to be thirty nine. It's not playing forever. That's the

142
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: other thing. If it takes Aaron a year to kind

143
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: of get up to speed with Rabel's offense or Robert

144
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: Sala's offense Titans Jets, respectively, Aaron's only got about three

145
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: years left. So it makes a ton of sense to me.

146
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a scary proposition. The Vikings are

147
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: not going eleven and oh next year and one score games.

148
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: The Bears are a wreck offensively, don't even know if

149
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: they have the right coach, and the Lions haven't won

150
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: the division since nineteen ninety three. Now's the time. It's

151
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: really the perfect time. You can still get several top

152
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: picks for Aaron Rodgers, and this roster in Green Bay

153
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: should have made the playoffs anyway, if Aaron would have

154
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: committed to the offseason and the rookie receivers. As a

204
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: canceled his weekly radio hit, Matt. That's something he's not

205
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: prone to do. That that's something right. Did he not

206
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: want to defend Dak Prescott? You know, I do think

207
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: this is uncommon. Most of the time. He will sort

208
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: of go into hiding at times. Right after the season,

209
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: and he's been known to kind of stay in hiding,

210
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: and last year he did something similar and he kind

211
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: of left Mike McCarthy twisting in the win and that

212
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: allowed him to eventually be able to keep Dan Quinn.

213
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I don't think this is the reason this time around

214
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: for him not showing up for his weekly hit. And

215
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: I think Jerry what he does is he goes on

216
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,359
Speaker 1: like a geese hunt, and there's a place in Arkansas

217
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and he and the family they hold up and he

218
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: likes to get away and kind of think of the

219
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: next moves and everything, and he's just not ready to

220
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: talk about this anymore. He defended Dak after the game.

221
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: He said McCarthy's fine, So in a sense, I think

222
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: in his mind he's already done that and now he

223
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: can take some time and get away for a little bit.

224
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: And there could be changes because Kellen Moore's interviewing with

225
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers to you despite Steve Smith saying after that

226
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: last play, why would you ever interview Kellen Moore? Cancel

227
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: the interview, but Steve Smith is not in charge of

228
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: that interview process. So I mean there's a chance that

229
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Jerry could be losing both coordinators, and so you and

230
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I always end up talking about McCarthy. This literally could

231
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: become all about Mike McCarthy to the point, could Mike McCarthy.

232
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: Could Jerry make a decision to say Mike sink or swim?

233
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts here. The one thing

234
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I could tell you, probably for sure, is I don't

235
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: think Jerry's entertaining the idea of Sean Pate. I think

236
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: we can probably rule that one out. Yeah, Shan wants control.

237
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels. Did Jimmy Johnson did. I've always felt that

238
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Jerry likes to be necessary, and he feels more necessary

239
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy than he would Sean Payton. Sean Payton Parcels, Jimmy,

240
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: don't make you necessary. They're not people that need your

241
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: business acumen or your drafting acumen, you know. And this

242
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: is I think Jerry feels necessary. He saved Mike McCarthy.

243
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy wasn't getting interviews, he was being blamed for

244
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers divorce. Jason Garrett didn't get many interviews.

245
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: He's on NBC. He felt like he was a son.

246
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: He was saving him. I think Jerry's had always had

247
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: that feeling. I think that's why he's sometimes overpays for

248
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: players he feels an importance in their life journey. Sean

249
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Payton doesn't make Jerry feel necessary. No, and he loves Sean,

250
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: But Jerry doesn't respect coaches. Is really the bottom line.

251
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't pay the kind of money he will pay.

252
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean and fine money. But if the bottom line

253
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: is the thought of trading draft picks for a head

254
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: coach makes him laugh, like in his mind that would

255
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: be a baffling thing to do. And I do think

256
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: you're onto something when Jerry likes comfortable, hires Wade Phillips,

257
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, and he just kind of likes people that

258
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: will kind of do their thing. Let Jerry be Jerry

259
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: and Sean. Sean would be okay managing Jerry because he

260
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: knows him so well. In fact, Sean would be better

261
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: at that than Bill. And Bill really wasn't that bad

262
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: at it when he was here. Jerry just kind of

263
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: went away and that was a weird thing. And I

264
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: don't think he wants to go back to a place

265
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: like that. But I do think I do think you're right.

266
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a good way to put it that

267
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: Jerry does feel need to feel necessary, but also Jerry

268
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: feels the knee. And when I say he doesn't respect coaches,

269
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: well you saw it. You go back to Jimmy Johnson

270
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: and his famous statement that I could find five hundred

271
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: coaches with his talent to do what Jimmy did. Um,

272
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: it's an infamous statement, but somewhere in the back of

273
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: his mind he still kind of thinks like that. And

274
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: then again, that's how you end up with a Mike McCarthy,

275
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: someone who has championship skins on the wall with winning

276
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: a world title. But so he knew it was a

277
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: It was an okay, it was a defensible hire, but

278
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't a knock it out of the park hire.

279
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson tweeted the final play of the game was dumb.

280
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: It was ill advised and poorly constructed. Does Jimmy still

281
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: hold weight? I mean that's in Dallas. I mean when

282
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy says that, what's the reaction. Well, I mean, he

283
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: still has everybody's ear and we all love to see

284
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: what he says. But I don't think it really nothing,

285
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, really bothers Jerry, Jerry ignores him to the

286
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: point of leaving him out of the Ring of Honor,

287
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: and so there's just a you know, there's just usually

288
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: a large disconnect there, and Jimmy loves getting the sharp

289
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: stick out and taking it to Jerry, and then he's

290
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: been doing it for twenty five years or whatever, or

291
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, twenty eight years since whenever he left. So no,

292
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: I do think people are interested. And you know what

293
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: it did is it's just it just it goes into

294
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: the sort of the lack of credibility when you do

295
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: something like that. It's just again, it's not the end

296
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: all be all, Like I don't think you fire a

297
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: head coach off of the last play that had no

298
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: chance in the first place. It's just it just looks

299
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: silly and it makes it makes you look sort of

300
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: a Mickey Mouse, you know, when you line up and

301
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: try to do something like that and get your poor

302
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: running back. You got him. It was a good it's

303
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: a good snap. I think Zeke's got to anchor better.

304
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: He's got to learn how to anchor better at center

305
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: and uh, but but again, what does it remind you of? It?

306
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: All those old bloopers reels we used to love, and

307
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't know you know, the NFL Follies or whatever

308
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: we call that. That's what that looked like. So it

309
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: kind of eats away at the credibility of Kellen and Mike,

310
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, in the whole gang. But I think what

311
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: they'll do when they say make Dak friendly. They're gonna

312
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: put a new voice in his here, and I think

313
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting to see who that ends up be.

314
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: And it might be it could be Mike McCarthy. He

315
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: would never admit this, but if Kellen Moore got another job,

316
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: I think deep down Mike McCarthy would be happy and

317
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: he would make a move and try to convince Jerry

318
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: let me do this. Dan Quinn's a good coach, certainly

319
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: done a good job hiring a defensive coach in this

320
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: Dan age. Seven of the last eight coaches left in

321
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: football were offensive coaches. Sean McDermott was the last defensive

322
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: coach standing and laid an absolute fricking egg. That was

323
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: maybe the most ill conceived offensive game plan with a

324
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: great quarterback I've seen in the playoffs in years. It's

325
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: one thing. If Daniel Jones struggles, it's another one. Josh

326
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: Allen is three and out in his first drive and

327
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: they have deep balls up the sideline in a snowstorm.

328
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: Is not a game plan. It's winging it, it's calling plays.

329
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: So I think dan Quinn will be around at least

330
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: for another year. You know, they're in a really weird

331
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: situation where Dalton Schultz can test the market, Tony Pollard

332
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: can test the market. Zeke is wildly overpaid. I said

333
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: this in the preamble to you, is that you know,

334
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: when you look at why the Cowboys are the Cowboys,

335
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: they've often paid too early or too often for average players.

336
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: They paid Zeke too early, Dak too much, Jalen Smith

337
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: too early, and too much. You don't pay linebackers in

338
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: this day and age safeties linebackers. You know, Seattle's finding

339
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: that out when they have two high price safeties. Buffalo

340
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: is finding it out. Buffalo's offensive lines to disaster, but

341
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: they've got great linebackers and safeties. Is that it's going

342
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: to be an interesting offseason. If they need another receiver,

343
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz could be gone. Gallup has proven to be

344
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: a three and at times I'm not sure he's that.

345
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: What do you think personnel wise, franchise tag wise, what

346
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: does the offseason look like? Well, I think it's going

347
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: to be an old Romo friendly type deal. Used to

348
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: hear that terminology, and I think they're going to bring

349
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: that one back to make this thing Dak friendly. This

350
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: season got away from Dak. He got in a bad way.

351
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: He says all the right things. He's a great podium guy,

352
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: as you've talked about, but he didn't get it done.

353
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: And so this offseason will be about putting Dak back

354
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: together and finding Okay, why did this happen? Why did

355
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: a guy that was sort of known for managing games

356
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: and taking care of the ball all of a sudden

357
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: to have a huge turnover problem. So a lot of

358
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be about that. Now when I say

359
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: Dak friendly, I think that it's gonna be They're gonna

360
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to bring in more talent around him. Gallop,

361
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: didn't you know they didn't work out this season. They

362
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: had to go to t Y Hilton CD was all

363
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: they had. Schultz is probably gone. We don't know what

364
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: about Pollard because of the injury. There are people that

365
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: are gonna put in their face right now. They're already

366
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: doing it. What you know, why did you you didn't

367
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: get anything for a Mari. You had two stud wide

368
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: receivers and you didn't get anything for him. You got

369
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick for Amari Cooper. So that's what

370
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear this offseason is how do we make

371
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: this thing Dak friendly and who can we bring in

372
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: to build him up and to add more firepower, Because

373
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, here's what they're gonna do.

374
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna look back at these interceptions. What they're gonna

375
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: tell you this offseason is a lot of it wasn't

376
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: Dak's fault. I don't believe that. I mean, did you

377
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: see the look in Dack's eye after those two picks

378
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: the other day? Did you see that kind of deer

379
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: in headlights? Like, I don't know what's happening. I don't

380
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: know how this happened. But because they pay him so

381
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: much and because he's their franchise quarterback, it's just like

382
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: with Tony, they're going to have to They're going to

383
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: have to make it not his problem. It's we didn't

384
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: do enough to help Dak. We've got to do enough

385
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: to help Dak get over the hump. And so that's

386
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: what this whole thing is going to become about. So

387
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboy Twitter account, and this is very rare, took

388
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: a shot at DAK. Now. I saw a story today

389
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: that suggested Jerry o'kaye that how's that playing in Dallas?

390
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: What's the rumor in Dallas about that? Because you don't

391
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: see team Twitter accounts ripping star players even after bad games.

392
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: First of all, the idea that somebody went to Jerry

393
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: with a headline is ludicrous. Okay. I mean I've been

394
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: in newspapers my whole life and websites and all that

395
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. That's a joke. Like anybody who says, well, Cherry,

396
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: Harry's fine with that. Now the thing I could defend

397
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: him on if you kind of see it's like a

398
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: link to a story. The story is probably has more

399
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: nuance and it's not some kind of attack on DAK.

400
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: But it just looks strange, And it is kind of

401
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: funny that even after all this blowback and people are like,

402
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: what are the Cowboys doing, they just kind of left

403
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: it up there. So I don't think I would say

404
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: this though. Deck is kind of going to go away

405
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: for a while, we won't hear from him, but he

406
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: was made very aware of it. I assure you that

407
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: that Dak's people and anybody has said, boy, Deck, look

408
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys took care of you after the game

409
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: by leaving this tweet up there. Now Again, from a

410
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: journalist standpoint, the tweet the headline was sort of a

411
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: match to a story, and like, whoever wrote that story

412
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: didn't write the headline. Somebody from the Cowboys put that

413
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: out there. And then suddenly what surprises me, Colin is

414
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: that somebody and I know all the people in charge

415
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: over there, they're good people, Like somebody just didn't delete it.

416
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Go and this is causing a firestorm. But maybe we

417
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: should admire them for saying, you know what I mean,

418
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: we make fun of people when they delete something, right,

419
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: they just left it out there, and who knows, But

420
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: the thought of Jerry having any say or carrying in

421
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: the least about what the website tweets out is beyond crazy.

422
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the Buffalo Bills and the

423
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. This was kind of the spot Buffalo because

424
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes is hurt, Josh Allen's big salary kicks in Buffalo

425
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: defense is going to have to probably get rid of

426
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: a safety, a linebacker. This was the best of the

427
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's roster. It may not look as Josh Allen's

428
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: contract kicks in. It may not look this nice. Remember

429
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City had to get rid of Tyreek Hill, Savarious

430
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Ward of the corner. I mean once the big money

431
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: kicks in. Cowboys had to let go of Amari Cooper,

432
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: the Titans with Tannail had to get let go of A. J. Brown.

433
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: So I feel like Buffalo, this was the best the

434
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: roster was going to be. Now it's going to have

435
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: to be leaner. And I look at Dallas and I

436
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: say to myself, Okay, they can't get out of this

437
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: Zeke thing. They can't get out of this Dak contract.

438
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is leaving, Tyron Smith is expensive and old.

439
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: Is there an argument this is the best of the roster? Well,

440
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: this was the best year to break through. I don't know.

441
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: I think they might be able to do some things

442
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: to help the offense. I don't know. I mean in

443
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: a weird sort of way. The injury to Pollard may

444
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: help them. When Pollard's a great player, how do you

445
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: he was going to get huge money on the open

446
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: market for a running back. Obviously, the value for a

447
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: running back is not what it is in other positions.

448
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: But they were people. Yeah, yeah, there are people that

449
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: were going to be very interested in him. Well, on

450
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: the open market, it might have been even more than that.

451
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he might have got ten to twelve. But

452
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: now nobody knows what to make of this injury. And

453
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: this is where Jerry's really good. Jerry can come in

454
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: and go, Tony, we've brought you in here. You know,

455
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: we've given you this platform. And Jerry loves to make

456
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: that argument to players if you're if you retire a cowboy,

457
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: you know you're going to have a job the rest

458
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: of your life because you were a cowboy and all

459
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. Zeke's probably gone. I mean, are

460
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: you really gonna keep paying Zeke to be a short

461
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: yardage running back? I mean, there's just really there's really

462
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: no great place for him. I mean there's no there's

463
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: no great fit. There's also not a market for Zeke,

464
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: is there? I don't I don't think so. I mean

465
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: they're trapped. He's he's so valuable to them just from

466
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Dak loves him, this sort of leadership. I don't really

467
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: think that transit that wouldn't translate to some of these

468
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: other places. I'm trying to think of where some people

469
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: that have coached him have gone on to. But no, no,

470
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: he's just I mean, there's no more tread on the tire.

471
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: Just look at the numbers. He was averaging two point

472
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: one yards per carry. Pollard was their home run hitter.

473
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: Now Pollard, as of as our taping, just in the

474
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: past hour or so, he had this surgery. Um the

475
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: fibula that's gonna heal on its own, as I understand it.

476
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: The ankle they had to do some surgery on. He's

477
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: going to be ready by training camp next year. So

478
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: but again, we don't know what he's gonna look like.

479
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: Is he gonna have to say burst a gonna take

480
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: him a while to get back up to speed. This

481
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: is the killer for the Cowboys is you've got a

482
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback on the other sideline in San Francisco. You

483
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: hold them to nineteen points. He's good, I like broc Perty,

484
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: but he didn't. It's not like he was just unbelievable

485
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: in that game. He made a couple of really good throws.

486
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: But you hold them to nineteen points and you're huge

487
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: money quarterback goes out there in first half. It's just

488
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: like he's walking in the in the I mean just

489
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: in the woods or something like, hey man, what's going

490
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: on here? Oh man, sine Clara is nice and he's

491
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: just he's throwing picks and he could have thrown two more.

492
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just demoralizing to an organization. That's why

493
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs, j Ron curse to Marcus Lawrence. You could

494
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: sort of watch their body language after that game. That's

495
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: not up. We're all in this together. That body language.

496
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: Even dan Quinn that he's got to be thinking. We

497
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: did everything we hood and we were knocking on the door,

498
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: and the sad things for Cowboys fans and the people

499
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: who cover them and everything. We all think it was

500
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: nine to nine Colin, everybody'd been a moment in your

501
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: mind where you thought, hmm, maybe the Cowboys win this thing,

502
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: go the NFC title game. I would say eighty to

503
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: ninety percent of all Cowboys fans and the people who

504
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: cover them were just sitting there like, Okay, how did

505
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: they lose this game? Which direction is it gonna Is

506
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: it gonna be another interception, there's gonna be a long drive.

507
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: How are they gonna lose it? There's nobody that truly

508
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: felt like they were going to break through and it

509
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: was nine to nine. I mean, they it was right

510
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: there for the taking. So I think you can improve

511
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: the roster. But the problem is, I don't know if

512
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: you ever have a better shot. I mean, San franciscoes looted,

513
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: but they don't have the right I mean, they got

514
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: a third stream quarterback. Are we all gonna sit here

515
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: and jump now? He may go on and win the

516
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and it will go all right, rock party,

517
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: He's going to be their quarterback in the next five

518
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: ten years. I'm not ready to say that. Well, here's

519
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys dilemma is both the Niners they don't pay

520
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: that quarterback for three more years, so they can keep

521
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: their players. They'll probably move Trey Lance and the Eagles

522
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: aren't moving. They're not moving any of their players because

523
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: they don't pay Jalen Hurts yet. So Dallas is going

524
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: to face those two stacked rosters again next year. And

525
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: my takeaway is Dallas will be less talented next year.

526
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: Now if Dallas, you know, they're a playoff teams, so

527
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: they're not going to be in a great draft position.

528
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: And most of your NFL gms have told me for years,

529
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: you run out of first run players somewhere between the

530
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: fifteenth and the eighteenth pick. So Dallas, if you're at

531
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: the end of the first round, you know you're it's

532
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: kind of no man's land. But I do think there's

533
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: tight ends and wide receivers in the first two picks

534
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: for Dallas that can absolutely elevate the offense. But the

535
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard situations rough because I think they you can't

536
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: let Dalton Schultz walk and not go get a tight end.

537
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: You can't, and you got to get an inexpensive tight end. Well,

538
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: it's a good The first and second round have about

539
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: four and you know tight ends have historically dropped in

540
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: the draft. George Kittle was a fifth round pick, So

541
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: I think Dallas is in a weird spot where they've

542
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: really got to hit some home runs in the first

543
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: three picks. Offensively, they also need a second corner. Now

544
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: you can get that in later round. Seattle did this year.

545
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: They got a corner in the fifth and the sixth

546
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 1: round starters. But I do feel like this was the year.

547
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Brock pretty by next year, Matt he's gonna

548
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: have multiple starts. This was the chance to get him

549
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: and by the way they did. They the defense did

550
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: get him like he It's not like they went out

551
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: there and raced up and down the field. They got

552
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: nineteen points and the Cowboys go out there and and

553
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: just you know, and put up twelve points. So you're right,

554
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: it was this game. This was so gettable and it

555
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: just kind of makes you think that as it's currently

556
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: constructed with this head coach. Now, there are people who

557
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: still think Jerry could make a change at head coach.

558
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he loves to shape things up and make

559
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: people uncomfortable, So I do think Jerry might enjoy the

560
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: shake up of two new coordinators. I don't think he's

561
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: going to do anything to Mike McCarthy, but I it's

562
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: it's it really is. I think he's hold up thinking

563
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: of a way and thinking of a plan. And he's

564
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: the ultimate salesman, so he's thinking of a mantrap or

565
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: what can we roll out there? Now the old Romo friendly,

566
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll go with the Dack friendly or whatever. But

567
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: this will be about the redemption of Dad. This is

568
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: our guy. He's totally fine. He's a great quarterback and

569
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: he just had a bad season and maybe it was

570
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: he was rusty after missing the five games. But the

571
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: thing is, he missed five games, he still threw seventeen interceptions,

572
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: and people say, well, Matt, not all these things were

573
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: his fault. That's true, that's true, But there were a

574
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: lot of pick sixes, three pick sixes since Week fifteen.

575
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: They've got a quarterback problem and there's no easy fix.

576
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody here wants a new quarterback, new head coach.

577
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: None of that's happening. I mean, you can't move off

578
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: that contract, so all you can do is try to

579
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: build around him. But but you know Jerry Jerry right now,

580
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: it's he's putting together before he can actually go do

581
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: some things in free agency, he has to put a

582
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: marketing plan together, and before he shows up in his

583
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: comfortable meeting with everybody at the owner's meetings or wherever,

584
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: the next to combine, wherever he speaks next, because he

585
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: will sometimes go into hiding for a little while, he's

586
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: going to come out with a whole new thing, and

587
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be about how close they were. Maybe

588
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: he can use this powered injury or something. But what

589
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: you're about to see is a circling of the wagons

590
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: around Dak Like you can't even believe, and that's because

591
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: they have no other alternatives. What are they going to do?

592
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 1: Rip him? I mean, it's just they're going to They're

593
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: going to put everything in Dad. You can fire your

594
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: head coach, but right now you can't do anything about

595
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback. Okay, well, Mosley, that was some good work.

596
