48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,640

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: you guys from last night. So college football game. That

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: was a college football game last night. That was what

57
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: that was. And I can come on, guys, help me

58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: out here. I don't want to put a negative spin

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: on this. I wanted to, you know, really kind of

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: feel how you felt while you were watching the John

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: six or five seven? What you got um, Just to

62
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: be completely honest. So I'm a diehard Florida State football

63
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: fan and I can tell you right now. If you

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: tell me Florida State can make the National Championship Game

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: but they have to get blown out by that, I'd say,

66
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to make the National Championship Game. I

67
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: would rather not make the National Championship Game than have

68
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: that happen. That's how I felt watching that. I'm like,

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: all the good mojo you got from a great season

70
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: like that, and yes, that is amazing, but to do

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: that in the in that big of a moment, I mean,

72
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd have a hard time with thirty five

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: to seven, but when you start getting in the sixty sixty,

74
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, hey, people are listening TCU fans. You

75
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want, and that's fine, but I

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: know that there's plenty of you listen out there to

77
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: agree with me, and there's a part of you and

78
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: just like maybe if we just went none of it

79
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: after the Michigan game, we'd be fine with it. I

80
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: think the thing that stood out to me the most

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: was the speed and the athleticism difference between both teams

82
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: was on full display last night, and the SEC proved

83
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: once again, while they are head and shoulders above the

84
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: rest when it comes to college football. Because Max Duggan

85
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: was under siege all night last night in some h

86
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: so even the backup dudes for Georgia we're getting after him.

87
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, the SEC's dominance was just how long did

88
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: it take to take you to see that difference in athleticism? Um?

89
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Probably after Rock Bowers was a monster in the first half.

90
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: He had a couple of catches, don't think on the

91
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: first drive. Yeah, it's like, oh, okay, this is what

92
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: time it is tonight for Georgia and TCU. And he

93
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: didn't make a huge impact against Ohio State. Now, yeah,

94
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: the impact that you thought he would. Yeah, he came

95
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: out early and they were going on. I was like,

96
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: os scary about Bowers is he's just a sophomore, Like

97
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: that's that's frightening. He's just a sophomore. One more year. Yeah, man,

98
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: he'll be out. Yeah yeah for me. Um, you know,

99
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: and I've taken a lot of grief about this in

100
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: the last few weeks because I said it publicly that

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: Alabama deserved to go in over TCU. Absolute, that's what

102
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I felt. Um, I know that's what Vegas felt. I

103
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: mean Vegas, you know, they just this is a better

104
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: football team. But they lost their games, they lost the

105
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: two road games. Whatever. I also thought if TCU was

106
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: in like the SEC, that they would play to December

107
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, you know Bowl game. Um, just the way

108
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: that they played, I just didn't think that they logged

109
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: on the same stage. And for everything that happened, like

110
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: this is such a cool story, because you know, the

111
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: reason why it was such a cool story is the

112
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: reason why it ended the way it did because they

113
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: just didn't belong. But no one did. To be honest,

114
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: no one in the SEC could really do that. Missouri

115
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: give them credit. They they they they That's that's right.

116
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: They did. But you know, in Missouri's and below average team,

117
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: yes we record, I mean, you know, that's why it

118
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: is and and but but Georgia wanted to win so

119
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: bad and they wanted to make a statement. Man, they did. Nick.

120
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: There was nothing in that TCU Michigan game that you

121
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: saw from TCU the way that they put it on Michigan.

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: Did you say like, oh oh, like like the light

123
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: bull come on a little bit that they can win

124
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: that game. It's mad at the committee honestly put Michigan

125
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: in the Ohio state against each other because that's what

126
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. Two verses three, TCU. If you're

127
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: gonna keep them in, they're definitely the four. They got

128
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: to play number one. It doesn't matter if Miss Michigan

129
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: in Ohise State has already played two three. I mean,

130
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But you know what they wanted the

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: only one in the Michigan Ohio State National Championship game.

132
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: That's where all the money, all the ratings come in

133
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: at it. That my big argument with all that stuff

134
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: that I was I gotta argument with Clarence about this

135
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: last week. Is back in the workroom as I go,

136
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: and when it when it comes to college basketball and

137
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: college football, like the Cinderella, it just doesn't win at all.

138
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Cinderella can get to the final ball, Cinderella does not

139
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: win at all. And so we started coming at me

140
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: with some Villanova eighties stuff. I'm telling I'm talking modern era,

141
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: like in the last twenty thirty years. You know, Butler

142
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: has gotten too the National Championship Game twice. That gotten close.

143
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean they almost had a half court shot to

144
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: win the whole thing. But in the end, Cinderella does

145
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: not win at all. It hasn't in a long time.

146
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: It has it's back. You have to go mid eighties

147
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: since that's happened. Yeah, it's it bad that I remember

148
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: that game. No, and that's that's and that's fine. But

149
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: if you're way back, I'm just saying it's not It's

150
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: not something where I'm just like, oh, let me just

151
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: go ahead and change all my thinking, right, I think

152
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: that this Villanova. I mean, look at the way college

153
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: sports are played nowadays. To even compare anything to the

154
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: way it was in the eighties is silly to me. Yeah,

155
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen that way anymore. And if I

156
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: want to make you feel bad, Phil Collins in the

157
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: air tonight turned forty two today. So the song, the song,

158
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the song that makes everybody in the whole world thinks

159
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: that they were a drummer. But when that happened, everyone

160
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: I always turn and look at like in the crowd

161
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you know some guys just like air drummer. Yeah. Yeah, Well, guys, look,

162
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: this is UH. I wanted to get your reaction and

163
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: it hadn't had a media match since the Sunday loss

164
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: UH in Washington, DC to the commanders. And if you

165
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: guys heard the interview today on one to five three

166
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: with UH with owner and general manager Jerry Jones, and

167
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: he specifically stated, when asked about Mike McCarthy about his

168
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: job security and event of a complete chnoble meltdown UH

169
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: this Monday, his words were emphatically, no, don't even want

170
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: to go into it. Don't even want to talk about it.

171
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: That's when you heard that. And obviously, knowing everything that's

172
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: at stake in the way that this season has gone,

173
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: do you put faith in that nowhere? Do you feel

174
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: as though this Monday is very pivotal to Mike McCarthy.

175
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: That statement meant absolutely nothing to me. I mean, what,

176
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: for one, just on the baseline of what is an

177
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: owner going to say in that situation, I mean, I

178
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: guess there is a possibility that you could say, then

179
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: you're out of a job, but that is very, very unlikely.

180
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the chances of an owner saying that in

181
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: any sport right before your biggest game of the year,

182
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: and really the biggest game they're gonna have played in

183
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: a long time, that is that that would be a

184
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: lot for him to say that. And Jerry Jones is

185
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: a notorious for telling you that just because I said

186
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: it doesn't make it self, and so you know, if

187
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: they if they went and oh, I'll just say this

188
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: the way that if it looks like it did in

189
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: DC next Monday in Tampa, nothing that Jerry said today

190
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: is going to matter on how he's gonna feel Monday night,

191
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. What're you gonna say? Sorry? Yeah, I mean

192
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you're right about that. And another another thing is do

193
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: you think that anyone in the media will ask the

194
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: players tomorrow in the locker room this week? Like Jerry

195
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Jones said that you know he's got faith to Mike McCarthy,

196
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: what do you think I don't think anybody would ask

197
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: that question. But if he said, go in and go

198
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: in and let's see, yeah, and then it becomes a

199
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: question in there, and then it becomes a distraction. So

200
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: you're right, there's just not goods. You're not gonna say

201
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: anything other than yeah, I have I have confidence in

202
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: the team and all that, because I do believe he

203
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: has confidence they will go and beat the Bucks this week. Yeah.

204
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: I think My thing is Mike McCarthy wasn't brought here

205
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: to win games from September to December. His resume says

206
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: he can get this done beyond January and if that

207
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: doesn't happen for a second year in a row, and

208
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: you let you know a guy who's two years short

209
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: of an AARP card, you know, piece up on Monday

210
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: night football, then I don't know what we're doing here

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to McCarthy, And I think what the

212
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: job that he's done the last couple of years has

213
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: been remarked, But I mean twenty four wins the last

214
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: year's I mean that's fantastic. But at the same time,

215
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 1: he was brought here to win deep into the playoffs

216
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: and there should be real conversations I think about his

217
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: job status if that doesn't happen on Monday night, and Nick,

218
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: I'll ask you this. I mean, you've as close to

219
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: the team as you are just knowing Mike the way

220
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: that he's gotten this team to perform. This is another

221
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: twelve and five season. We've been through the abysmal seasons

222
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. They'll proverbial, perpetual, five hundred endings

223
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: of seasons. Here you have Mike McCarthy coming in and

224
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: basically building this team team the way that it is.

225
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: Do you look at that question even as an insult

226
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: for a guy that's pretty much getting you to this

227
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: position now and back to back playoff appearances. You can

228
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: be insulting if you want, But the reason why the

229
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: question was asked is because Jerry has a history of

230
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: not only doing this. He fired chan Gaily after two

231
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: playoff years. He also did not answer the question last

232
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: year when he was asked afterwards about it. So the

233
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: reason why I got asked is because Jerry, Mike give

234
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: you the answer that you want to. You know that

235
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: you want to hear. Do I think it's fair for Mike? Now?

236
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I do I think he should he should

237
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: lose his job. No, the players love him, That's the thing.

238
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: The players love him because he takes care of the players.

239
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: He takes care of their bodies, He understands them, and

240
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: he relates to them. And he also has done a

241
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: nice job. We talked about this on the break this morning.

242
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Of the fifty games he's played, I think we counted

243
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: a full season pretty much, sixteen games without your starting quarterback,

244
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: and he and they he's done a good job of

245
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: getting this team rallied together. So no, I don't. I

246
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: don't think it is I don't think it's it's a

247
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: fair question really for but but I understand why they

248
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: did it. I know the guys that did it, and

249
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame him for asking him, but

250
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: I just don't think it should be asked. But we

251
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: know why it was. I'm also not a big believer,

252
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: and up it didn't go where we wanted. Coach, you're gone. Yeah,

253
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: you gotta have a plan. And so my next part

254
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: of my plan is, if you want him out or

255
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: you think he should be gone, who do you want?

256
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: Because there aren't obvious answers out there. Sorry, they're just starting.

257
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: When I when I get these odds sent to me

258
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: every morning on Favorite for Colt's Job, Favorite for Bronco's Job,

259
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I roll through them and there aren't There's not one

260
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: name that pops out where I'm like, woof, if the

261
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: Cowboys could get their hands on that guy, that would man,

262
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: if they can only get Jim Harbaugh in the building

263
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: around you know, like like there's just no, there's just

264
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: not that obvious answer there. And and as I'm a

265
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: fan of Sean Payton, I think eat Sean Payton's a

266
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: good coach, but I don't know that there's a no

267
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: if they're standing there together, and and and they're like,

268
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: you can hire either one Michae McCarthy or Sean Payton.

269
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: It's very close to me to begin with, let alone

270
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: the fact that now you give gotta give up picks

271
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: and then make him the highest coach ever Like wait, no, no,

272
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah, like I'm also set, yeah exactly. And

273
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: that's the other part is just change everything that that

274
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: that is that you have going on. So um, if

275
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: there was some you know, like you were around when

276
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: and obviously you guys have seen it when when they

277
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: went and got parcels. I mean that's a clear cut

278
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: you go and get Yeah, this is obvious. I mean,

279
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: if you get a chance to get parcels, you go

280
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: get him or something. Or let's say, let's say Sean

281
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: McVay led the Rams to the Super Bowl this year

282
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: again they won back to back, and you're like, man,

283
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Sean McVay says he's leaving the Rams. He just always

284
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: wanted to coach the Cowboys. Coming off of two consecutive

285
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl wins, it'd be hard to They're just I'm sorry,

286
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: when you look at those odds, they're just hard to

287
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: look at them and be like, oh, this guy's the answer.

288
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Right here, go get that guy. I just feel like

289
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: there's just a sense of urgency because this team is

290
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna look very different going into next year and you

291
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: could be without your defensive coordinator. Personnel changes could be made.

292
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: So the pressure I think is on McCarthy to get

293
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: something done, at least a playoff win or two, because

294
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: this team could look very different. And Kevin, I think

295
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: that's that's that's interesting that you go there, because that's

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: where talking about guys that players love, and that's dan Quinn. Yeah,

297
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't like it, but I hear it.

298
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: And then all the grumblings and rumors have started to

299
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: the voices are starting to say his name at the

300
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: top of these coaching vacancies that you see. Kevin, what

301
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: do you think when you start to to well, you

302
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: start to understand that dan Quinn may not be your DC,

303
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: even if Mike McCarthy is here as your coach next year.

304
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope, my hope is if dan Quinn

305
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: isn't here next year, that Joe Wit becomes the new

306
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator here to keep the continuity going, and then

307
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: he remains on the staff. But I'm under the operation

308
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: that dan Quinn won't be here beyond this year because

309
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: his name is just too hot right now, and I

310
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: think he's got in self in the position to be

311
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: able to be one of these next head coaches here

312
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: in this cycle. Yeah, I don't see him going outside

313
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: the building. I think it would be be either Wit

314
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: or George Ledwards make the most sense. Yeah, I mean

315
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: they both are in line for a job like that,

316
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: and they both know all the personnel. I mean, Hector,

317
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: they signed H. M. Rhodes on Saturday, all this thing.

318
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, man like George that they're just gonna get

319
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr, Roads, Circum Jay Ron, Curse Chris. I'm probably

320
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: missing one. Yeah, Yeah, I think it would do it,

321
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: and I think it would stay inside the building, don't

322
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: you Nick or Yeah. It also depends on if Quinn leaves, Like,

323
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, who is he taking with him? He does

324
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: he take? You know, he can he be the coordinator

325
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: there and all that, and do they have a Micah

326
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Parsons where you know where he's going or whatever. But

327
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: that would be the one thing that's where I thought

328
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: you guys were going with. This is the one thing

329
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: that could change all of this about McCarthy is the

330
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn stuff, because you know, you're like, all right,

331
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: let's say it doesn't go well, there's a reason I

332
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: didn't bring that up, but go ahead. I'm just I

333
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: just I don't know why I'm watching these games and

334
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: ain't the same way as it was last year. I'm

335
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: just like, no, this has to stay the same. I mean,

336
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: if it goes to the direction where we're talking where

337
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: it would be a loss to Tampa Bay, I don't

338
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: know if there's anybody in the building, anybody that I'm like, no,

339
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: don't let that. You can't let that person go on

340
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: top of it again. I'm not just going off of

341
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's something to be said for two thousand

342
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: and nine Saints where they are just rolling thirteen and

343
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: oh and then they lose their Liz three games and

344
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: then let they lose in the playoffs. You're like, hey,

345
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: it just kind of got off like this. Is would

346
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: be the second year in a row where it started

347
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: tailing off like this. That would be the second year

348
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: you're losing the first round. At that point, there is

349
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: nobody outside of Okay, Micah Parsons that I'm not like, no,

350
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: you could never part with him, there's nobody. I'm sorry.

351
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: The thing for him is if he if he doesn't

352
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: have him ready to play in this game, because he

353
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: didn't have him ready last a year against the forty

354
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: nine ers. And that's why Washington, Yeah, Washington, right, but

355
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in this play Yeah, And that's why

356
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: when I look at Okay, well, what happened against Washington

357
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: the other day doesn't carry over. I mean it last

358
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: year didn't. I mean they were rolling into the playoffs

359
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: and it certainly didn't carry over into the playoffs. So

360
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: that that's what their hope is is that but he's

361
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: got to have him ready ready to play there. But

362
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: the dan Quinn part is is kind of interesting to me.

363
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: For what Jerry is paying him a lot of money,

364
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what, but paying him a lot of

365
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: money to be here. And if it, you know, if

366
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out in this game, they just wonder.

367
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be McCarthy though, maybe the coordinator,

368
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe one of the coordinators though, so there will have

369
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: to be a change. What I'm trying to say, I'm

370
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: trying to dance around. There will be a change if

371
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't go well. I just don't think it would

372
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: beat McCarthy though. Yeah. I mean, while you let's just

373
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: say either one of the coordinators go, you would get

374
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: rid of one of him, who's got his defense number

375
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: one in takeaways and turnover differential back to back years.

376
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: The other one had the number one offense and the

377
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: number two offense and back to mac years in the NFL. Like,

378
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: it's just wild to think about the changes that could

379
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: be made based on the amount of success that both

380
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: coordinators have had the last two years around here. The

381
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: potential to lose two I'm sure is the not the

382
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: move for the Dallas Cowboys, but it potentially is on

383
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: the horizonator could happen, and I know we got to

384
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: go to break. I'll just say this, there's twenty three

385
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: free agents, I think twenty three guys, So especially on

386
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, with like say dan

387
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Quinn Leaves, I mean he's gonna already he's gonna he's

388
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to take a few with him as well,

389
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, those guys that love to play for him.

390
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be another challenge too, is resigning these

391
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: guys that having to compete with him. But he can't

392
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: take Micaul I can't. But he can't take Michaels. No,

393
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: can't take Diggs, can't take Micah. And I'll tell you

394
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna take I can tell you right now. Wilson.

395
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson, dono he Yeah, from when I was told

396
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: in the offseason, he actually told some people dan Quinn

397
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: that this guy right here, we don't use him enough,

398
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: we don't play him enough. And I've got a special

399
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: I got some packages for him that I think he

400
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: could be really good this year. And so obviously he

401
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: did leave the team and tackles this year, vander esh

402
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: got hurt and he led the team and tackle but

403
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean no sacks by defensive back this year to yeah,

404
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: almost franchise record five for a safety. Yeah, that's that's

405
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean just but but it just shows he used

406
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: them in different ways. So talk about a resurgence of

407
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: a career. Donovan Wilson, for one, he was a guy

408
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: that was con was looked at as a bubble guy

409
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of camps, you know, and has turned

410
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: his career around and this year, so maybe he will

411
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: be another one of those guys that were losing. You

412
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: talk about Kevin his team looking different, but I am

413
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: keeping the mediumsh on the tracks. Yes, we're gonna take

414
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: our first break. We'll be right back with more Mediamash

Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot com. Back to Mediamash. Todd thought

416
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: it would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savannah.

417
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

418
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: And now Todd is trying to be faster than this

419
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

420
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

421
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

422
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

423
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

424
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device

469
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: Did you see his tweets from off the game how

470
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: he was talking about how they had like they had

471
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: a handout blankets because again, no, that's it's technically an

472
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: outdoor stadium. Oh it was getting yeah, and then so

473
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: there's like rain blowing it. So it was like super

474
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: slippery out on the on the concourse and people were

475
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: falling like they just were not used. Like the rain

476
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: was coming in sideways off of you know how it's

477
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: opening behind the two end zones and so yeah, so

478
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: the media they were handing out blankets because it was

479
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: like fifty degrees in there or something like that. Clearly

480
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: they did not plan for any of that to be

481
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: I've been I've been to training camp in ox and

482
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: Hard for what I don't know, seventeen eighteen years. I

483
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: mean it's rained one time. Yeah, and when it does

484
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: it's very short period. Yeah, I'm mean I didn't No,

485
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: I know that's la but yeah, it's pretty biblical when

486
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: it rains like that. I mean people started, I thought

487
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: they're looking for the end. Yeah, there's a song, you know. No,

488
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: that's a lot. It's clearly clearly that's all made up,

489
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: nick uh, because it did well, just just so you know,

490
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: you know Patrick Barker usually does this show on Tuesday, right,

491
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: And I knew he usually does the show on Tuesday,

492
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: but knew he's not here until tomorrow, right. I knew

493
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of apparently has done some talking

494
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: on TCU. So Patrick, I think wanted to be on

495
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: the show tomorrow. We traded so he can. Maybe it's nice.

496
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Maybe if it comes up, they would talk about Georgie.

497
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was me. I thank you for saying no, no, no, no.

498
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: He uh, well, your boy was in full Georgia regalia

499
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: today on Talking Cowboys, so he was he was all

500
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: good to go, yeah today. Yeah, and yet he told

501
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: me Patrick, you know a huge Georgia fan, and he

502
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: may be listening right now, what's up man? But he

503
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: said it went after the game o'hi State game, which

504
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: he admitted was was you know, was as close as

505
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: it gets and too close for comfort. Um, but he

506
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: said we'll win fifty five ten. I was like, wow,

507
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: fifty five to ten. He's like, yeah, we will absolutely

508
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: destroy to ten because way way that our team will

509
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: play will be so focused. Well, we will just play

510
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, shorted ten points. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and um

511
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: but he was right. I mean, you know, they just

512
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: dominated him. That was ugly. It's just kind of funny

513
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: too though, that like in the Vegas perspective, like you

514
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: keep it at thirteen fourteen points, not that that line

515
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: was disrespectful to just just for comparisons sake, folks. That's

516
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: like comparing it too. That was the line for that

517
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers Arizona game. That was the line for

518
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: that Eagles Giants game. To give you, So, Vegas clearly

519
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't buy into the whole idea of like what us

520
00:24:54,080 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: Cinderella stories. That one not as much purple and in

521
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: the office today as yesterday. Mmmmmm, there was more purple

522
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: in the statem than I was expecting. That's I mean,

523
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: it's an expensive the whole deal, the flight, the hotel. Yeah, yeah,

524
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: they did. Yeah, then they and they were the dominant

525
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: in the Where was it was Arizona when they've been Michigan.

526
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: They definitely had the advantage there. I think knew we

527
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: said they're sixty seventy percent was probably Tec fans. Yeah wow. Well,

528
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: speaking of traveling, well, we are going to need to

529
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: travel well on Monday. We need to fix this and

530
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: obviously you guys have been seeing this team for seventeen

531
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: games so far and have been hit on the cusp

532
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: of playoffs. Uh last season? Where does this team to you? Obviously,

533
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: after the Commander's lost you, you're probably in the same

534
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: place with a bunch of question marks. But going into

535
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs fresh seasons, what is your expectation going into

536
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Monday's game? Are you seeing the victory? Are you one

537
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: of those people that are on defence and saying, mm,

538
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: this could be Tom Brady making the last stand. I

539
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: completely get where people would make the argument that this

540
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: could be a good thing, because one how they've responded

541
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: from losses this year, and then two just the fact

542
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: of that that could be something where you're embarrassed and

543
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: there's just you just have this, there's no way that

544
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna play like that again, and then you and

545
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: you come back, and I just I don't believe that though.

546
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: I just have seen too much from this team this

547
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: year for me to feel confident they're going to win

548
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: this game. They could. I mean, it wouldn't shock me

549
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: if they won the game, but I'm not picking them

550
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: to win the game. I just if I picked them

551
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: to win the game that goes against everything I've watched

552
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: from this and because I don't just I just don't

553
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: go off this year. There's too many pieces that are

554
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: the same from last year and just putting these last

555
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: two years together because I do believe that this system

556
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: has been built over the last two years. They just

557
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: have not shown me enough for me to feel confident

558
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: they're going to win this game. And so you don't

559
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: care who they're playing, uh No, I mean yeah, I

560
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: mean if they're playing the Giants, I probably would pick

561
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: them all yeah, or if you're not buying into the

562
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: two two four two formula? Here, I say, what is that?

563
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: But I know that. Don't tell me I did. That's

564
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: something like that, Okay, in the in the preseason, they

565
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: lost the first game Denver, Okay, then they won two,

566
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: lost one, they won two, then they lost the Tampa

567
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: and then they won four. Right, then they lost to

568
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: Philly and then they won two. Then they they lost

569
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, then they won four, then they won

570
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: two and then the four like the man, wow wow,

571
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: and again all that is far. I was to say

572
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: that that would take away Nick. Nick, you know me

573
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: as well as anybody that covers the team, like I

574
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: have no life outside of covering this team to sit

575
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: there and just all of a sudden push away what

576
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: takes up probably seventy five percent of my life and

577
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: just go off of some that you gotta get credit.

578
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: Ould Bar also end up going back to the underdog

579
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: thing and how I go off of recent history and

580
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: if I look at the last ten fifteen years of

581
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, I don't see any team that finishes a

582
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: season the way that they did and then goes on

583
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: a playoff run. I just don't. I just don't see that.

584
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: Not now. There's teams that have gone on and lost

585
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: their last couple of games and then they went on

586
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: and maybe they made a run in the playoffs, but

587
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: nobody that's that's gone on the run that this team

588
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: is capable of doing. So for them to do that

589
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: and make a deep playoff un to go to the

590
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: NFC championship game, it would it would surprise me a lot.

591
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: At this point three, they've won three road games in

592
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs at forty two years. Yeah, so to think

593
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: that they're gonna win three in three weeks one postseason,

594
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough. It sucks too, because it's they're

595
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: just not a real team that like a team that

596
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: just so dominant. I'm talking about in the NFC. The

597
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: FC has got is loaded with the franchise quarterbacks, but

598
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: in the NFC, it's so wide open that you're just like, yeah,

599
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: there could be a moment in that Tampa Bay game

600
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: where something big happens, just a play that things aren't

601
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: going well and just sparks the rest of the team,

602
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: because I think this team has been flat for over

603
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: a month, and so maybe something happens. I thought I

604
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: was wrong. I thought that t Y Hilton catch against

605
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Philly was gonna be that ignite it. And so there

606
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: could be something that happens in Tampa Bay, whether maybe

607
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: the Chips are down, Michael comes up with a big play, Dak,

608
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: something happens there. And I do believe that you can

609
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: get momentum real fast, especially against what's in the NFC

610
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: this year. You know you would be getting by Brady.

611
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: There's no Aaron Rodgers. There just isn't that boogeyman quarterback

612
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: that you'd be scared of. Laughed after that. So I

613
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: could see them getting hot. But again for me to

614
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: say that right now that I expect that to happen,

615
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: that I would be lying to you about what I've

616
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: seen for the last month. But you but what you

617
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: just stated obviously was the rest of the NFC doesn't

618
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: look dominant at all, basically is what I'm taking. Yeah,

619
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think San Francisco would, to me is

620
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: the team that you would worry the most about. And

621
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: they have Brock Purty at quarterback the quarter No, nobody

622
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: would be surprised if in the playoffs he just lays

623
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: an egg in a game, because hey, that he's a rookie.

624
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: Rookie right and then but I will say for it,

625
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: and Airs are playing so well that even if he

626
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: does that, I could still see him overcoming win the game. Kevin,

627
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: when you look at it at the cow well, you

628
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: look at the NFC basically take the Cowboys into consideration.

629
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: But when you see the NFC, are you saying to yourself,

630
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: this is an NFC division that's prime for the picking

631
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys if they can get on a role.

632
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Are you saying, I see way too many holes in

633
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: this to even think that they could pull out four

634
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: victories in the row. I think the part that concerns

635
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: me most is that and you were talking about how

636
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: they look flat over the last month, jay Ron Curson Son,

637
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: they said, I don't know why we aren't playing our

638
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: best ball right now. And for one of the leaders

639
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: on this team to have a pulse and say that

640
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: they don't know what's going on with their quality of

641
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: play going into the playoffs, and what to me is

642
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: a why is clearly the most vocal leader on that

643
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: defense when in terms of when it comes to talking

644
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: to the media about things with the defense behind the scenes,

645
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: and MICA's there too, but jay Ron curses and I'm

646
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: getting I'm going over the entire season, you know. I mean,

647
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: there's a reason why when he says stuff to me

648
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: it makes my ears result because, yeah, he's got a

649
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: big voice in in that lack of and this is

650
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: the first time that you've heard him, yeah speak like that.

651
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's kept real for me all season long,

652
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Like when I hear him talk and have colds and

653
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: things like, he's been the realist one I've heard, you know,

654
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: talk about the things that's going on with this team.

655
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, this NFC you would think is wide open,

656
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: given you're talking about the quarterback play and what you

657
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: see the Cowboys. If you see the Cowboys team, I'm

658
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: not saying they gotta beat you know, everybody by thirty

659
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: seven points. But the quality of play that you saw

660
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings or even in the game against

661
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay where they blew to fourteen point lead, that's

662
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: the kind of football team this team can be. But

663
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: they also are the same team that needed a ninety

664
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: eight yard drive against the Houston Texans to win a

665
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: football game and at and T Stadium, So they are

666
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: what they I think Sunday was a clear indication of

667
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: what this team is and what they can't be. Sometimes

668
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: that can be the team that's forty to three over

669
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings, or they're also the same team that can

670
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: be really inconsistent played down the competition. I just was

671
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: so stunned with how they played offensively and just how

672
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: lost they looked on offense. Yeah, that was to me

673
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: and was stunning him. It was stunning how the passing game,

674
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: how there wasn't other than that that possession right before halftime.

675
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 1: I thought there'd be at least two or through those

676
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: possessions in the second half. If you told me that

677
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Dak was going to play the entire second half, I'd

678
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: be like, there'll be at least two more of those this,

679
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: this will take care of itself. I'm not even telling

680
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: it guarantee you they'd win the game. But how lost

681
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: they looked on offense. I just I can't buy into

682
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, be honest, she'll be back in

683
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: that center. Everything will be fine. I just I don't.

684
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't believe that. I just it was stunning. Nick,

685
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: when look, you've seen you've been a part of Dak's

686
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: career since he signed, since he came on. This is

687
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: probably the worst that you've seen number four look in

688
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: his seven years as a Dallas Cowboy. And wasn't that

689
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: one It was Tampa we won, yes, one of them.

690
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I wrote. Usually when someone says, boy,

691
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: it all came full circle, that's a good thing. But

692
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't. The season started like that and then it

693
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: was good and then it ended like that. Yeah, and

694
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: uh and then he had to go play him again.

695
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know, is that where you were saying,

696
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: just where where Dak's game was? No, and no, you

697
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head when you when

698
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: you say that, And so my my really my question

699
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: is about fixing Dak knowing that you're going into a

700
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: playoff because now he's shown you that he is a

701
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: turnover machine. But this is the worst time to be that.

702
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: Those back to back throws like just left you scratch

703
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: your head, don't care how you could be the most

704
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: hardcore blame every interception on somebody else all season long.

705
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: When you watch those two plays back to back again,

706
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: really scary. Whatever word you want to use, is that

707
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: an indictment? Is that? Did you say right there, that's

708
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: the best papals. I'm not the type person as I

709
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: see that now, I'm just judging the rest of Deck's

710
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: career or anything like that. Like I still think he's

711
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: he's an excellent quarterback. I'm just saying this is the

712
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: worst time and to have that happen going into the playoffs,

713
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: you know yeah, I mean like before the game, everything

714
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: was like all right, you know, he's lost twice since

715
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: he came back from injury, both on the road, both

716
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: in overtime, and you know or or you know a

717
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: lot of these interceptions are you know, like I say

718
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: all the time, it is you know this, this is

719
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: this is a really good volleyball team that they'll they'll

720
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: they'll set it up to fur other guy, you know,

721
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: but you can't you can't take that, you know. For

722
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: this Washington game, they just played that crap and dacted.

723
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that was one of the dak's worst games.

724
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: They did not look interested in playing, in blocking and

725
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: anything running. It was. It was just as bad as

726
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: you can get. And you know, as you said that

727
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 1: earlier about you don't see teams that do this and

728
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: then make a run, you know. I mean, it's it's happened,

729
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: but it usually happened on I looked it up, So

730
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: this is right. I'm actually writing about this. I just

731
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: don't want to take it any further because I got

732
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: to say something. So I'm writing about this for tomorrow

733
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: on the athletics. So twenty seventeen, the Jags, they lost

734
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: their last two games were ten and six, and then

735
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: they went on to go to the AFC Championship game

736
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Then you go back to twenty fifteen.

737
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: Patriots lost their last two games in the regular season.

738
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: They went on to go to the AFC Championship game.

739
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: They lost to the Broncos. Okay, twenty twelve, the Ravens,

740
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: they lost four of their last five games and obviously

741
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: went on go to win the Super Bowl that year,

742
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: and then twenty two thousand and nine, the Saints and

743
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: the Colts post lost at the end of the season.

744
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: They each lost the Saints three games, the Colts too,

745
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: and so, but that's twenty twenty one, Nobody, twenty twenty, twenty, nineteen, eighteen, sixteen, fourteen, thirteen,

746
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: eleven ten, nobody made it to the AFC or NFC cheam.

747
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: But you're saying there's a chance, Oh, but hold on,

748
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: hold on, Not really, because also all of those teams

749
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: also their first playoff game was at least at home,

750
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: and none of them played in their last game as

751
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: bad as the Cowboys did in their game. I'm just

752
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: I would use them as example because they they didn't

753
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: finish the season strong. You know, they finished the season.

754
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: I just went back and I looked at every single

755
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: team for the last thirteen years, ten years from now,

756
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: and you were trying to do this again, you wouldn't

757
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: even you'd skip over the Cowboys because you would just

758
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: be like the two out of three to finish the season. No, no, no,

759
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking off of teams that went to the a

760
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: FC NFC Championship. So I wouldn't count the Cowboys because

761
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wouldn't. I mean, you'd have to go back,

762
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: and they're why would I go back to the nineties

763
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: because all those teams would never have lost late in

764
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: the season like that. So I was just going off

765
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: of teams that made it to the a FC NFC

766
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: Championship game. Because if you go back to if you

767
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: go back to trainings, tamp you know that was one

768
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: of those things. I mean, Jerry said they need to

769
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: be viable in the playoffs, and so I didn't take

770
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: that as man hopefully they beat Tampa. It was can

771
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: this team put it together to make a deep run.

772
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: So if you're content with, hey, beat Tampa losing the

773
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: next what I'm saying is not for you. I'm talking

774
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: about this team on paper, healthwise, and where they are

775
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: coaching staff obviously coach staff that people want to take

776
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: their coaches from them. This just, much like last year,

777
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: is set up for a team to make a deep run.

778
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be man, if they could just win one

779
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: playoff game. No, everything's there. Yes, they have injuries to

780
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: be oddish and Vander esh and Anthony Brown and Jordan Lewis.

781
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: Of course that's not injuries to Treyvon Diggs, Micah Parsons,

782
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence, Ceedee Lamb. They have so many key

783
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: pieces that are there to go make this run. And

784
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 1: let's be honest, other teams have tons of key injuries too.

785
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: Nobody gets here unscathed. So that's what I'm saying, Like

786
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: it just there. The recent history is definitely not on

787
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: their side, ladies. And Jem him and he has so

788
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: many facts in that phone of his, I don't know

789
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: what else he has, Nick Wowan, just hold on to that,

790
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: right whatever you about you said about nineties, I mean,

791
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: no one cares about back in the nineties. I mean

792
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: I do remember. I do remember ninety five when they

793
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. They were they were a train wreck. Yeah,

794
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys were a train wreck right then, just dealing with

795
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: a lot of issues, had no no business, you know,

796
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: even even going to the playoffs. And I mean they're

797
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, but they didn't think they'd have

798
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: home field, and they kind of backed into home field

799
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: and then they took it from there. But I mean,

800
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: of those teams, though I always mentioned, I think the

801
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 1: Ravens are the best example for this Cowboys team because

802
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: Joe flack O. Yeah, they had to go on the

803
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: road and they didn't have a home game. I don't

804
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: know if they did or not. Okay, I want to

805
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: say they might, they might have their first game. But

806
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: even with that, that's the best example because even if

807
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: you go back to oh nine, I mean, we're talking

808
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: about Drew Brees and that Saints Peyton Manning and that

809
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: Colts team, you know, I mean, I don't know if

810
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: that's exactly but a good comparison, right, And and this

811
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: is where I'm just interested to see how it's all

812
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna gonna work, because because these and McCarthy said, like

813
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: this team's human, you know, players are human and all that,

814
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: which nobody liked to hear that, but it is true

815
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of every time they've done anything in

816
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: the last six weeks, most of the you know, whether

817
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: it be talk radio or whatever, like like everyone's over it,

818
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: like everyone's over there, like like we'll see what they

819
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: do in the playoffs or you know, great this, but

820
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna they're gonna, you know, break my heart

821
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or whatever. Everybody's looking at the playoffs

822
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: and and I think it's only human nature for the

823
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys not to so other. They've done a pretty good

824
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: job up until Sunday of like sticking to it, sticking

825
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: to it. They they they lied and said that they

826
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: were they were focused on winning the game when they weren't.

827
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: They were not. Whether they wanted to win, it's fine,

828
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: but they didn't come out. You know, the team looks

829
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: like it looks like a team that honestly, the Vikings

830
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: win said to them, we're ready. We'll mess with anybody

831
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: out there. Let's start the playoffs right now. And ever

832
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: since then it's kind of like, all right, well, we'll

833
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: go through the motions we know we can. And they

834
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: kept winning and kept winning and kept winning, and then

835
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: that Washington game. If it wasn't for that Washington game,

836
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: I would not feel the way that I do. But

837
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: that Washington game to me was Jogs take our last break.

838
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: Here on media magic wipeat right back. The season is

879
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: about I just didn't wanted you to go too far

880
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: with something. Not that you were, but I didn't know

881
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: want you to say so. I just wanted I wasn't

882
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: going back to the Ravens, but I was going back

883
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: to the Saints and O nine. I do remember, yeah,

884
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: because I remember when the Cowboys beat the Saints that

885
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: started that and it was like they were thirteen and

886
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: no Cowboys came in. Look what we did. Look we

887
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: got boommate footballs. Is like, yeah, they lost to the

888
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: Bucks too, Like keep happening. Man. So guys, this this

889
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: last question, last segment here, I want to I want

890
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: to outline the good, the bad, the ugly of the

891
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: season because you've had a seventeen game. I got the ugly,

892
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: all right, you got Nick has the ugly cover one

893
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: all right, bad and ugly. So Kevin what you got man,

894
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: I'll take the bad. I guess, um you give John

895
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: the good. I mean he's he's got all the facts.

896
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: Its natural. I guess I would say the bad would

897
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: be the run game the second half of the season

898
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: because Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott, the balance that they

899
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: had offensively was fun to watch and helping Cooper rushing

900
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: this defense and winning games. The second half of the year,

901
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: the run game has really not been what you wanted

902
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: it to be, given how effected they were and what

903
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: they needed to be for this offense, So that would

904
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: be the bad for me alongside with you know, the

905
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: defensive times. But the run game to me is what

906
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: bothers me right now. Yeah, the good is definitely the

907
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: Vikings game. That's the best I've seen the Cowboys since

908
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: I've come to the team. That to me will always

909
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: be the game I look at. And since then, I've

910
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: heard players in the locker room, you know, they mentioned

911
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: that like getting back to that, playing to that level.

912
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: It just so complete on both sides when I saw that,

913
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: and again, I would have been impressed if they did

914
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: that to anybody above the Bears and Texans. I don't

915
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: want to go that low, but anybody else. But then

916
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: the fact that I mean, it's a team that you know,

917
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: won the NFC North, that is, it's a playoff team.

918
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: So to do that and just play that thorough on all.

919
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Man, if that was if that was the

920
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: game that they just played on Sunday, if they finished

921
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: the season with that Vikings game, man, everybody picking the

922
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys winning Super Bowl. You know, the Vikings are eight

923
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: and one at home this year, just like Dallas eight

924
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: and one at home, and they they've outscored their opponents

925
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: about sixteen points at home. So it's because of that

926
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: thirty seven point loss that kind of screws that whole thing.

927
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys have outscored their opponents at eight and one, they've

928
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: outscored about ninety you know, that's kind of what you

929
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: should do when you win most of those games. But

930
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: but that's why the Vikings, you know, the Vikings are

931
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: an interesting team because they they want so many close games.

932
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: They're winning games. It's so funny that these games are

933
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: TCU really are long. I mean immeriously, you think about it.

934
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: They win a lot of games and and you're like,

935
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: really they that good, And no one ever thought the

936
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: Vikings were that good. They're like, yeah, yeah, they're record

937
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: but they're you know, but then they kept winning, and

938
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: they kept winning and until they faced somebody that just

939
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: kind of stomped them. But it's just funny how the games,

940
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: like you normally you cared most about what happens in

941
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: the second half or in the fourth quarter of these games.

942
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: But it's funny how often something will happen early in

943
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: the game and just sets the tone for the rest

944
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: of the game. And I think of in Washington, you know,

945
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: just the special teams that errors that are just so

946
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic of this team. But then I think of that

947
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: Vikings game, man, when when Mike on that very first

948
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: chance to rush the pass or sack fumble. I mean,

949
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: it just set the tone for the rest of that game.

950
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: It was like one of those things where as soon

951
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: as I saw that happen, I was like, if this game,

952
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: if they win this game, convincing, I didn't think it

953
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: be that way. I'm like, I'm writing about that play

954
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: because that is just that was so crazy how they

955
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: happen the very first time he gets a chance to

956
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: rush the passor not only gets the sack, but he

957
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: gets the fumble, and it just took the air out

958
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: of what I think might be the loudest building or

959
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: it's one of maybe I just feel away because it's

960
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: an open air press box, but were so loud and

961
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: there up until that point, and it just like it

962
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: set the tone for that I mean, if you could start,

963
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: if you a bigger way to start that game against Tampa,

964
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: that would be the perfect way. And it's also how

965
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: that you felt to remember how the game was week

966
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: before against Green Bay and Parsons was kind of neutralized

967
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: again yeah, didn't do a whole lot. He kind of

968
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: called out Kurt as the week Curson started talking as well,

969
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: they had a team meeting, you know, all that stuff

970
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: about making plays, being accountable was the word. And then

971
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: three plays into that game, here he comes Russian. You know,

972
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: Kurt Cousins, who The one thing I will not be

973
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: saying at the end of this season is We'll always

974
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: have Minnesota. So I do not want them. I don't

975
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: want to come back and say we'll always have Minnesota.

976
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: You can say that, honestly, you can say that every year.

977
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: Last year they won it with Cooper Russian Minnesota. The

978
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: year before they won it with Andy Dalton in Minnesota.

979
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy whos just have their number up there,

980
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: they do give me the ugly ugly. I think was

981
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: was just the game Sunday. I mean, you can make

982
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: a case for the Week one with all the injuries

983
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: and stuff too, but at least there was some time

984
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: to you know, some some reflection there. But just the

985
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: way that they played that game, knowing that there were

986
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: boxes of NFC East Champion hats somewhere in that inn

987
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: thought of and never even thought about that they're getting

988
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: they're getting shipped out somewhere Ecuador. Yeah, somewhere. No, don't

989
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: give John Tho NC East champions. Yeah yeah, I never

990
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: even thought about. That's a good point. Oh yeah, somewhere

991
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: there's there's you know, Buffalo Bill super Bowl champion hats. Yeah,

992
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: from the nineties. I want one of those two. Yeah,

993
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they were there. They were there and

994
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: T shirts or whatever. But they didn't play like that.

995
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: And and like you said, it was just drop fumble,

996
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean turpin and anger and but just that offensive

997
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: line couldn't block anyone. I mean, it was just an

998
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: ugly in this Terrence steel right now. It did. Mike

999
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 1: McCarthy showed them those shirts and hands before the game

1000
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 1: and at backfired. I used as an example because Mike

1001
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: McCarthy is like really well known for he had all

1002
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: the guys on the Packers get size for their rings

1003
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: the night before the Super Bowl when they beat the Steelers. Wow,

1004
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully he didn't do that. Please let let that

1005
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: be a story that you jeez, that would be the

1006
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 1: last thing that we need to see was Michael's hat size.

1007
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: Oh my, Paul, you don't mean that, guys. I will
