Speaker 3: we doing today?

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: Doing a little bit better? Yeah?

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: Have you you got some sleep last night? Which is good?

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Got some sleep.

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: That's first checkbox, right, the remaining.

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 5: Check boxes or for the Cowboys to do so, I

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 5: mean I did my part, I got some rest, right,

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 5: and now we see if the Cowboys can finally turn

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: a page over these past several weeks and do something

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 5: in Atlanta. But before they go to Atlanta and do anything,

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 5: they've really got to finish only what happened, uh in

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 5: San Francisco, especially the third quarter. So I'm interested to hear,

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: not not even interested. I can't wait to hear what

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 5: fans of talking Cowboys and listeners and viewers call in

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 5: and have to say, say it with your chest today?

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: What would you like the fan question to be today?

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: I was mulling over a couple of different ones.

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: You know what, go ahead, I want to hear yours.

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 6: No, I mean, considering what they're going through right now,

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 6: we're going through the same thing. Absolutely, we're expecting a

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 6: lot more from this team. I would say, at least

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 6: what's the barometer?

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 7: Now?

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 6: What do you want to see for the rest of

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 6: the year. What is your crystal ball telling you for

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 6: the rest of.

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: This maybe like how have your expectations change?

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: I like that, Yes, go with that.

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was yours going to be.

49
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 5: I'm it wasn't as good as what about well, I

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: mean it was going to because it segues off of

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: what we talked about yesterday, and it was another iteration

52
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 5: of me talking about how confusing it is to not

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: see Dak Prescott use his legs. And then we hear

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones talking one O five three the fan this morning,

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: and Jerry literally said he would prefer not to see

56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 5: Dak take off and run. So I was going to

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 5: ask fans which side of that fence? So you on,

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: are you more on the takeoff and run deck and

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 5: get and you know, try to get as many hours

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 5: as you can to help this team win because they

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 5: need every possible positive that can get.

62
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: I'll give them both questions. Yeah, or on the Jerry

63
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Jones side to say, hey, it's just not worth it.

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I like it.

65
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: And that's the thing in continuing with news and notes

66
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: and Jerry being on the fan just a couple moments ago,

67
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: but that was one of the number one takeaways I

68
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: had was he basically said, even through like a Crackley

69
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: phone line and phone call, he said, I don't have

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: it in big white letters at the Star in Frisco,

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: but I don't necessarily want him running the football.

72
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't like it.

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 5: I mean he said it in a lot of words,

74
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: but lots of them all right, But the bottom line

75
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 5: of what he was saying was that because of the risk,

76
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: he doesn't feel like it's worth seeing Dak Prescott use

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 5: his legs. And I am on the other side of that,

78
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: because this is a game of risk. And like I

79
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 5: said here and told Isaiah outside of the irs he'll

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 5: be back after showing out on Good Morning Football, I

81
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 5: told him there's as much, if not more risk for

82
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott to sit in the pocket right now because

83
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: of the pressure that he's under and the drest that

84
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 5: he's under as his offensive line struggles to consistently block

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: pass rushers and defensive lines. So if we're talking risk,

86
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: what's the what's what carries the most risk right now?

87
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: Because your on line isn't blocking consistently, so standing being

88
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: a statue in the pocket might get you killed.

89
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent. I politefully disagree with mister Jones,

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 6: and I feel like, you know, you have to take

91
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 6: the chances that you're afforded. Uh, when the offensive line

92
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 6: is not blocking for You're right, if you stand back there,

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 6: you're gonna get hurt either way. You're gonna take the

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 6: hit either way. You're getting hit a lot more than

95
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 6: you're used to, at least if you're Dak Prescott this season. Uh,

96
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 6: and look at what brock Party did. Brock Party was

97
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 6: able to gain some yards in the ground, and I

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 6: don't think he really necessarily took a lot of hits

99
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 6: in that. In that scenarreo, he's running out of bounds,

100
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 6: he's running safely.

101
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: He's sliding.

102
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 6: He's sliding, you know, and you know, granted, I get it.

103
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 6: You know you slide more than a few times there

104
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 6: any game. Those reps are gonna they're gonna haunt you

105
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 6: basically the more you do it. But pick up the

106
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 6: yards where you can, man Like, you can't be relying

107
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 6: on these third and ten throws down the field because

108
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 6: those are obviously not connecting. You need to give your

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 6: offense a better chance at third down.

110
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: If I had confidence in the wide receiver room and

111
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: the tight end room to build some separation and to

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 3: be consistent in that regard, I think I'd be okay

113
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: with Dak staying in the pocket, because I get it.

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: Of course, I think I'd be fine with him stepping

115
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: in there, even with the muddiness and the offensive line.

116
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: His pocket presence is part of his strengths as a

117
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: as a pro quarterback. He can maneuver through pressure. And

118
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: it's the fact that whenever he maneuvers through pressure and

119
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: then he looks downfield and there's nobody open, that's when

120
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 3: I have a problem. Get out of there. Don't they

121
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: sit there or try something else? Yeah, so I do.

122
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it is predicated on the

123
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: success of your wide receivers. Now, in the San Francisco game,

124
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: going back and watching the tape, there were only a

125
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: couple of opportunities for Dak to run. There's one glaring

126
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: opportunity where he probably could have picked up eight nine

127
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: yards ten second. That one was significant, But other than that,

128
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: I thought he basically stuck with Ceedee Lamb made sure

129
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: his number one target could get open and build some separation,

130
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: which he did most of the time, and then other

131
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: than that, it was forcing it into tight windows.

132
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, we even talk about how good of a game

133
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 6: CD has. CD he was incredible, But uh, in that

134
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 6: same regard, the other receivers were not getting open and

135
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 6: he's just not taking those opportunities, which is, you know,

136
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 6: it's not something we're used to seeing from Dak Prescott.

137
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: I think another thing that was declined. Obviously, Absolutely, it's

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 3: a special game.

139
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: And they were talking about on the break yesterday his

140
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: traits coming out of Mississippi State, where the fact that

141
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 6: he was a dual threat quarterback. Absolutely, and he could

142
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 6: he could run over some people. You know what I mean?

143
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: He was a dog. He was a dog.

144
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 5: Mississippi State. That is, that is the phrase we used,

145
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: Mississippi State deck.

146
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Where is he going? Have you seen him?

147
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: Have you seen him?

148
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean, bring him back, bring him back, bring him back,

149
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: bring him back.

150
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say something else. It

151
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: had too much of like a rhythm to bring him back.

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: I'm back, Yeah, I'll bring him back.

153
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: Tis and going to Atlanta this weekend.

154
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

155
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 5: There getting them out, Bring them out Mississippi dhach, where

156
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: are you all right to win?

157
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: When he's running?

158
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 8: Now you? Where are you? Oh?

159
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry?

160
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 9: The uh?

161
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: I love the's that's like my childhood the uh. Other

162
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: talking points from Jerry Jones on one of five three

163
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: of the fan I thought Bobby Belt asked a great

164
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: question regarding the I don't want to call it a

165
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: sub committee, but it kind of is underneath Jerry Jones

166
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: in terms of the front office and how those guys

167
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: are responsible for the good and bad decisions that they make.

168
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: How are they held responsible? And I thought he was

169
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: kind of looking at it as Dallas hasn't necessarily hit

170
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: well in each of their last two drafts. They're still

171
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: the jury's out on a lot of those guys still,

172
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: But to this point, I think from across the board

173
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: you would say it's underwhelming from the twenty twenty three

174
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: and twenty four draft classes so far. I thought maybe

175
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: Bobby was alluding to and maybe probing into the front office,

176
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: and instead Jerry Jones said, I put Mike McCarthy here

177
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: for that reason. I put Mike McCarthy here because he

178
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: has a significant role and I want him to have

179
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: a say head coaches in the Cowboys organization. It's a

180
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: common misnumber that they don't have say when it comes

181
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: to roster building. They absolutely have a ton of say

182
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: in this building, and Mike McCarthy's another reason for that.

183
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: And I thought it was just interesting the way he

184
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: answered that question.

185
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, and especially when you have the skins on the

186
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: wall like Mike McCarthy has during the Bill Parcells era.

187
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 5: Bill Parcells and and like you said, it is a

188
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: misnomer that let me put it this way, at one

189
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 5: point in time in the in the chronology of Jerry

190
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: Jones's ownership of this team, there was an iron fist

191
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 5: that rule this team, and that was you know, connected

192
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: to Jerry Jones's forum. But in recent seasons it's much

193
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 5: more of a Knight's of the roundtable, which is what

194
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: I call it, where there's much more of a consultation

195
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 5: with Stephen Jones and Will McLay and just those guys

196
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: around him, Mike McCarthy, the head coach and whoever else

197
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: might be in that echelon that has they have Jerry's ear,

198
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 5: and that tends to lead to things like roster decisions.

199
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 5: Proof positive being did the Cowboys care about the safety

200
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: position before dan Quinn got here?

201
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely no, they did.

202
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: Not, right, you know, they really really addressed the defensive

203
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 5: line position before sat back in them dan Quinn because

204
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: that's my just myth. But then when you see some

205
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 5: of the moves that they made with in training camp

206
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 5: with Mike Zimmer still wait, for those two more or

207
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: less pan out. But the moves were made they care about.

208
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 5: So I mean it's no longer an iron fist situation

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 5: as it was in the nineties, you know. And you

210
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: look at the split between Jimmy and Jerry and how

211
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 5: that went. Now it's much more of a consultation. But

212
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 5: because Jerry is the figurehead of it all, he's going

213
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 5: to get all the criticism but none of the praise

214
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: when it comes to the fan base. When they hit

215
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: on the draft pick, and deservedly so, Will McLay will

216
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: get the praise. When they missed on the draft pick,

217
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones gets the criticize. So I mean that's just

218
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 5: how the fan base kind of goes.

219
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: Of course.

220
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at to look no further

221
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 6: than the draft, it's a war room. That's the brain

222
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 6: trust of the Dallas Cowboys currently. Is that war room

223
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 6: of executives and Will McClay that are able to build

224
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 6: this roster. And if you don't think that the coaches

225
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 6: have any say in the personnel, look at the turnover

226
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 6: on defense when Mike Zimmer came in to the picture,

227
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 6: and look at the linebacker room last year compared to

228
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 6: this year. So obviously it's there. It's just it's different now.

229
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 5: It is, and I think people misunderstand just how much

230
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 5: of a decision making authority from a personnel standpoint Stephen

231
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: Jones has in this equation as well. So people are

232
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: so accustomed to, well, if the Cowboys sign this free

233
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: agent or don't sign this free agent, it's all on Jerry. Well,

234
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: the book does stop at Jerry, but the book may

235
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: not always make it to Jerry in the capacity of

236
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 5: if if Stephen Jones believes wholeheartedly that we need to

237
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 5: sign this guy or we don't need to sign this guy,

238
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: and he sells Jerry on that, then then it's sold, right.

239
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 5: I think it's becoming more and more rare words the

240
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 5: situation where Stephen Jones may have a stance here and

241
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: Jerry just feels so strongly about this individual like an

242
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 5: Ezekiel Elliott. For you, Sam Williams is the most Sam

243
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: Williams is another one the most recent or in the

244
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 5: recent past, like a Randy Gregory, whereas like Jerry feels

245
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 5: so much about this particular guy. But I think that

246
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 5: era more or less started to get behind us in

247
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 5: the with the divorce from Dez Bryant, right, I think

248
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: that if you look.

249
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: Well, even before that, Johnny Manziel to pick that that

250
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: was another.

251
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 5: Very perfect example of the roundtable just convincing Jerry saying

252
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 5: that he don't do this, Please don't do this. And

253
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 5: then with the Dead's situation, it was likely Jerry wanted

254
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: Dead to remain in the Knights, where like, you know,

255
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 5: we got to move on from that now. Of course,

256
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 5: that ended up biting him in the rear over the

257
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: next several weeks of that only season, and then they

258
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 5: had to trade for Mark. But if we're simply talking

259
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: about the decision making process, it's it's not what it

260
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: was in the nineties. There are a handful of advisors

261
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: Steven will Mike, etc.

262
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: The contract team, you know, Adamman.

263
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 5: And so I mean there's a lot of decisions, a

264
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 5: lot of decision makers that sit at that table.

265
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: Well, And that's kind of what I think Bobby was

266
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: alluding to in the fact that it's not just Jerry anymore,

267
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: it's not just Jerry as the iron fist, And how

268
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: does the responsibility fall outside of Jerry Jones?

269
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: Now?

270
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: Who is held responsible when things don't go right? And

271
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: he said that's where he brought up Mike McCarthy specifically,

272
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: but he said, that's that's part of it is you

273
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: are going to be held responsible, especially within these walls,

274
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: even if it's not in front of the media, even

275
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: if it's not in terms of an employment standpoint, you

276
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: will be held responsible if you're the one that's putting

277
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: these ideas on the table and they don't necessarily work

278
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: out before we take our first phone call. Any points

279
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: from Jerry that you'd like to hear.

280
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 5: That was a great takeaway from Bobby's question. So good

281
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 5: job there, and yeah, no, as far as the deck thing,

282
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: I really am interested. They see what the fans answers

283
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 5: to that are going to be as well as Josh,

284
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 5: who has a great question. As far as you know,

285
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 5: Crystal Ball, coupleys fans think what are going to happen

286
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: from here on out?

287
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, what is your crystal Ball telling you?

288
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: Let's talk about it with one of our good friends.

289
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 3: We've met him before now Cold Cold T Shirts is

290
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: what I should call him because the T shirts that

291
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: we were on Friday, he's the one that made those

292
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: T shirts. Cold You are on talking cowboys? What's going on?

293
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Buddy?

294
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 3: Cold you there?

295
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 10: Yeah?

296
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 7: Out here, buddy, what's going on? Man? Yeah, you know, uh,

297
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 7: nothing much. I'd ask you all how y'all are doing,

298
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 7: but I feel like I know how you're doing professionally,

299
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 7: so I hope you're doing well personally.

300
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's definitely been a struggle. But we're

301
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: going to ask you a couple of questions here. The first,

302
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 3: this one is how have your expectations changed for this

303
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: Cowboys team now that you've kind of gotten to this

304
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 3: three and four mark and your eight weeks end of

305
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: the season.

306
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 11: You know, it's not looking good so far. From me personally,

307
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 11: I feel we're getting away from a lot of things

308
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 11: that are taught to you, you know, when you first

309
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 11: start playing football and you know, moving up into the professionals.

310
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 11: And that's my big thing is I feel like on

311
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 11: every layer of the football team, we're getting away from

312
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 11: our fundamentals. And that's a big problem with me, Like

313
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 11: it's a glaring issue every week I see, you know,

314
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 11: tackling tackling. To me, when I was taught football, I

315
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 11: was taught get low, drive through with your shoulder and

316
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 11: wrap up, and I'm seeing so many guys just shoulder

317
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 11: tackle and then oops, you get stiff armed away and

318
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 11: now you're tackling with your back and the running back

319
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 11: bounces off and runs up for another five ten yards.

320
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

321
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 7: But yeah, well we can't get that fixed.

322
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 11: We're not gonna, you know, be any better.

323
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, along those same lines, I mean, Jerry talked about

324
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: communication on the offense. That's a fundamental. You've got tackling

325
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: on the defense, both sides struggling with some of the

326
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: bare bones. Now, one last question before we let you go,

327
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, would you like him to run or would

328
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: you like him to kind of keep as a pocket

329
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: passer With the importance that he has to this football team.

330
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 11: At this point in the season, I don't care if

331
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 11: Dak becomes the leading rusher on the football team, get yards,

332
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 11: get points.

333
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: I like it.

334
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 6: Cole.

335
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: That's a real football man right there.

336
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 9: I like it.

337
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: As always, Cole.

338
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, Appreciate the love. As always. We'll talk

339
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: to you down the line before we take our first break.

340
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: Let's check in with Nebby in Nebbie, Maryland, or maybe Nebbee.

341
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: On the line.

342
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: Nebby, what do you think about these expectations? Have they

343
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: check going into the Week nine part of the season.

344
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 7: Well.

345
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 10: First of all, guys, thanks for taking my call, and

346
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 10: also thank you so much for the happy birthday wishes.

347
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 10: I really appreciate it. And Kyle, I just want to

348
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 10: say that, as much as I hate to admit it,

349
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 10: I am with you, my man, because I am hitting

350
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 10: the panic button. And quite honestly, Mike McCarthy won a

351
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 10: Super Bowl in his fifth year in Green Bay, and

352
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 10: obviously I was hoping history would repeat itself in that regard,

353
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 10: but now I believe, and I just want to day

354
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 10: before I go uh that I'm about to make a

355
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 10: bold prediction, and that is that uh uh uh uh

356
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 10: uh yeah, uh.

357
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 7: Uh uh uh.

358
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 10: Ben Johnson, uh uh this next upcoming off season will

359
00:17:48,400 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 10: be uhh the new head coach beautiful of the Dallas Boys.

360
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 10: Take care, Thanks for being patient with me, and have

361
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 10: a great week. Bye.

362
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: Thanks appreciation that. As always, you could tell he was

363
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 3: nervous to even put out the bold predictions, but he did.

364
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: He said it with his chests. What the show is

365
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: all about. Here's the thing, and maybe is one year older,

366
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: one year bold. He's one year bolder.

367
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 7: I like it.

368
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: Nebby does a great job of dissecting this football team.

369
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: I really think he does. He knows what's going on.

370
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 3: He's able to really take into account the whole scheme

371
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 3: of it all. And it's funny that he's like, I

372
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: hate to be on your side, Kyle, but I'm pressing

373
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 3: the panic button. When he brought up the twenty ten Packers,

374
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: when he brought up the fifth year of Mike McCarthy

375
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: and Green Bay, I was just curious what their record

376
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: was going into their eighth game. They were three and

377
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: three and then one in Week seven, so they were

378
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: four and three. It's not like they were necessarily lighting

379
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: the world on fire. Remember, they kind of snuck into

380
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: the playoffs. They snuck in at ten and six, and

381
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: then when they got hot in the playoffs, they took

382
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: down Filly, Atlanta, Chicago, and then of course beat the

383
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: Steelers at AT and T Stadium. So it's not like

384
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 3: the season is over. But what is happening right now,

385
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: and this was my point yesterday, what is happening right

386
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: now cannot continue? Correct, That's the problem, because I guarantee

387
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: you and I'd have to go back further. I wasn't

388
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: necessarily following the Packers in twenty ten in Week seven,

389
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 3: but I'd have to go back and look, and I'm

390
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: sure there were changes made whenever it was three and three,

391
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: four and three and they were trying to find their

392
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: way back into contention. That's where I'm at with this

393
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: football team. You got to do something different totally.

394
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 6: But I guess my apprehension here is that you don't

395
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 6: see anything about this team that says, you know, December

396
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 6: January football.

397
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 3: There's nothing that gives me confidence.

398
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,239
Speaker 6: There's no identifying characteristic of that there.

399
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: Even there, you had Aaron Rodgers as a young Aaron

400
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: Rodgers that was playing lights out. He was an MVP

401
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: caliber at that point in time, even at UH in

402
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: that early point of his career. I we haven't seen

403
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: MVP level Dak Prescott yet. Win was second and MVP

404
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: voting last year.

405
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 6: But this is not the Only thing you can really

406
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 6: hang your head on right now is the kicking game.

407
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 6: And that's not good.

408
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: It's not going to win.

409
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 3: That alone is good super Bowl and if it does,

410
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: then give my give brands to the keys to the building.

411
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 5: He's gonna hold out all the rubles. But no, I mean,

412
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 5: I think the more troubling thing is it's no, the

413
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 5: season is not over. It's not over. You're three and four.

414
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: You know you can try your best to go on

415
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: a run here. It's not going to be easy. We

416
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 5: talked about it now great detail yesterday. You are really

417
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 5: up against it these next several games going up and

418
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: through Thanksgiving. But the more troubling thing is it's, like

419
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 5: Cole said, and like we've talked about, and like players

420
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: have talked about, and like coaches have talked about, it's

421
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 5: that air fort, no, the other airport, gentlemen, fundamental fundamentals.

422
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 5: We're still we're still talking fundamentals going into week nine,

423
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 5: and and that's troubling. So you're still talking fundamentals, and

424
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: then you look at the gauntlet of teams. You have

425
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: to get your fundamentals in line in order to have

426
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 5: a chance at defeating Those two things aren't working well together.

427
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: So can it happen? Yeah, absolutely it can happen.

428
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: But being optimistic in this moment about it happening based

429
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: on what we've seen to this point, I just I

430
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 5: don't know how you can put how you can make

431
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 5: that happen for yourself, right, It's about just being realistic

432
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: and realistically speaking, the Cowboys need to show why we

433
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 5: need to reinsert optimism into the picture.

434
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: Here's here's go for it.

435
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, if you looked at the defense

436
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 6: in the first half of last game, I feel like

437
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: there were signs of life there. There were signs of

438
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 6: life of a run defense. There were signs of the

439
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 6: life runs. Yeah, exactly. But the longer you went into

440
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: the game, obviously, the third quarter was just abysmal on

441
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 6: all fronts. It's just like there are signs of life

442
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 6: there at times, but it never holds.

443
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: There's a post.

444
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 5: But when you go into a game and when we

445
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 5: when you exit a game and you end up looking

446
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: at it and you say, well, always give up. How

447
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 5: many yards rushing? Oh well, Christian McCaffrey had a day.

448
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 5: Oh no, he didn't play. Okay, well, Jordan Mason was

449
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 5: playing well coming in, so it makes sense that he

450
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 5: Oh no, it wasn't Jordan Mason, it was.

451
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: It was the rookie.

452
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: It was scored an NFL touchdown out of Louisville who

453
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 5: had himself a date. So more rushing count, yes, but

454
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 5: you would not expect that the running back three would

455
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 5: be able to come in and perform more or less

456
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 5: like running back one would have performed.

457
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: If running back three here, which I guess would either

458
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: be Deuce Vaughan or Cook. However, yeah, however you want

459
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: to throw it out there, they would have had a

460
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: day like Isaac Garrindo. This fan base might explode like

461
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: with happiness like I I like it.

462
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: It's just a completely different They were hoping that Delvin

463
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: Cook would have that day against the San Francisco forty

464
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 5: nine ers, but I mean his his in game numbers

465
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 5: didn't look any differently than Rico Dawdles did the previous week.

466
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 6: No, are you going to say our our Rico game

467
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 6: where we danced about it was ninety yards rushing. I

468
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 6: think had ninety five. Yeah, it's like, yeah, we did

469
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 6: get excited for a game similar to that, right, Yeah, you.

470
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 3: Talk about being realistic. I think realistically over the next

471
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: four games Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, and Washington, Dallas needs two

472
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: wins out of that to keep their hopes alive. In

473
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: my opinion, you got to go two and two, which

474
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: puts you one game below five hundred going into the

475
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving matchup against the New York Giants. Assumingly so, they

476
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: looked bad last night again against Pittsburgh, but assumingly. So

477
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: you win that game against them on Thanksgiving, you're back

478
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: at six and six, and then it's a race to

479
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: the finish with Cincinnati, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and Washington.

480
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: We're looking way down the line. But in order to

481
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: even give yourself a shot at Thanksgiving, you got to

482
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: win two games that you probably shouldn't win against Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston.

483
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 5: You know what, Washington, although obviously I would like them

484
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 5: to win every single one of these games, sign me

485
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: up for what you just said, I mean worst if

486
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 5: that's the worst case scenario. See, I'm totally fine.

487
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it as that's the best case scenario.

488
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: Well from a realistic standpoint, I'm looking at it as best.

489
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Care worst cases.

490
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 5: The season is over at Thanksgiving, correct, So yeah, that's

491
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 5: so let's compromise. I'll take your compromise there and two wins.

492
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 5: If you could just get us two wins, and then

493
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: you go and you beat up on the Giants to

494
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 5: get back at five hundred. Because you made an excellent point.

495
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 5: Right now, we're not seeing December and January football, but

496
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: it's because we're still in October and hopefully if we

497
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 5: can get if the Cowboys can get to five hundred

498
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: when it really starts to matter back end of November

499
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 5: going into December, because we have seen that this team

500
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 5: in Dark Prescott, Dak Prescott really plays well in November.

501
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: He just really does.

502
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 5: And in recent history the Cowboys in Dark Prescott, they've

503
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: played well in December as well. They kind of turned

504
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 5: that narrative. I remember the Tony Romo years where the

505
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 5: Cowboys struggled so often to get on any type of

506
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: run in December. And then right on the back end

507
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: of Romos before he got injured, he kind of turned

508
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: that narrative and Dak came in and he kind of

509
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: was playing December ball hot December ball. So just don't

510
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 5: don't go into December at like three and seven. Yeah, yeah,

511
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 5: because then you're in more trouble than you signed up for.

512
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 5: But if you can go in December at five hundred,

513
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 5: so you're saying there's a chief.

514
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 6: You're saying it's Derek Simber. Let's go.

515
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: Hey, November starts on Friday. Let's get it right now.

516
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: Let's try and figure it out here in these next

517
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 3: four games, all right, give us a call eight at

518

592
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: Nice. There you go. Okay, thank you very much. I'm

593
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: glad you had that up. I built the page that works. Yeah,

594
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: my internet is not working currently. We'll try and get

595
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: that back up. But while we do, let's go to

596
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City. Gavin, you're on Talking Cowboys. What's going on? Gavin?

597
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 8: Hey, fellas, how's going pretty good?

598
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: How have your expectations changed for this football team now

599
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: going into week nine?

600
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 8: My expectations are the same for the team. I feel

601
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 8: like I feel like the team has the star power

602
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 8: to do what they need to do. And I think

603
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 8: when you look at this team, the inconsistency lies in

604
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 8: the coaching. I truly believe that. I think that the

605
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 8: play calling has been bad on both sides. You have

606
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 8: Centahn makeing adjustments at halftime, and you got the defense

607
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 8: coming out and based the whole game.

608
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: Now.

609
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 8: I understand what lack of personnel and stuff like that,

610
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 8: but it's offense too. It's starting five and we're handing

611
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 8: Hunter Lifty the ball.

612
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 9: You know what I mean.

613
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 8: This isn't just one game. Even the game, I feel

614
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 8: like the play calling hasn't been great, And yeah, this

615
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 8: team has just been rooted in disappointment so far.

616
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: I like how there was still some optimism there though,

617
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: because you said your expectations haven't changed and the players

618
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: still are available for you to have success with. Do

619
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: you feel like they can turn it around at with

620
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: what they have currently working in their favor.

621
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 8: I believe the offense will change it around. Where I

622
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 8: have a little pessimism is the defense. One we get

623
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 8: these reinforcements coming in, the Zimmer's gonna have to find

624
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 8: a different way to utilize Mike. Teams are going to

625
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 8: continue to do the same thing they did when they

626
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 8: were both here.

627
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 6: It's just let me ask you something. What gives you

628
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 6: the confidence that the offense is going to turn it around.

629
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 8: So far this season, I just think McCarthy has a

630
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 8: history of eventually getting things right. I'm not saying he will,

631
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 8: and I'm personally a believer. If this continues to go,

632
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 8: we might have to have the tough conversation about changing

633
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 8: over the play calling DUSS. But at this point, I

634
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 8: think it's too early to do that because really, who

635
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 8: is on the councher on the Cowboys coaching staff that's

636
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 8: going to be able to do a better job than

637
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy. It's really nobody. But uh yeah that I'll

638
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 8: let you guys go y'all Dog Cowboys podcast. For me,

639
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 8: I look at y'all every day and tell Isaiah to

640
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 8: stop being all successful and stuff I need to bring out.

641
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: Trust me.

642
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: We'll try and get him right back here. Yeah, and

643
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: he'll right back in the seat before we know it.

644
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: That Thanks Gavin, Appreciate the love, appreciate the support and

645
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: the call. As always, let's go to Gerald and port Allen, Louisiana.

646
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: Down in the port Allen side of things. Gerald, you're

647
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: on Talking Cowboys.

648
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, doing good morning?

649
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: How you doing good morning? How are you.

650
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 7: Man doing good?

651
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 9: I love the show they're glad to be on and uh,

652
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 9: I just I feel like I can push the I'm

653
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 9: pushing the panic button because we've just I don't know.

654
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 9: The defenses is there's a whole lot different than it was,

655
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 9: you know, previous years. And I know we were say

656
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 9: we reverted back to like the the Mike Nolan era

657
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 9: and stuff like that, but it just seemed like they

658
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 9: don't know how to play, how to tackle, or how

659
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 9: to do the fundamental things of you know, just playing

660
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 9: defense anymore. The offense, I'm not sure what's going on

661
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 9: because it's the same pieces, the same offensive scheme. Dak

662
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 9: has to do better on his throws and when when

663
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 9: he gets pressed, and sometimes he presses too early in

664
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 9: the situation in my opinion. But we have to you know,

665
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 9: establish the run better. You know, if we get the line,

666
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 9: if we get the offensive line together, get the defensive

667
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 9: line together, that's that's usually the start. I always hear

668
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 9: uh Late Newton talking about it. I feel the same way.

669
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 9: But as far as like stopping the run, I'm starting

670
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 9: to believe that it's like a cultural organizational issue because

671
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 9: the culture is not showing us that we can stop

672
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 9: the run. We haven't been able to stop the running years,

673
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 9: and then I don't know if we're getting the right

674
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 9: correct pieces in place to be able to stop the run.

675
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 9: And it just seemed like they're not tackling it. You know,

676
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 9: I don't know, I don't understand what we got going on.

677
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, appreciate the the inside as always, Gerald,

678
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about that here for a moment. Patrick.

679
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: I think, whenever it comes to he talked about the

680
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: Mike Nolan era, we're going back. It's funny I skipped yea,

681
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: I skipped right over the Mike Nolan era, and I

682
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: went back to Rod Marinelli era, where there was bad tackling.

683
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: You can't stop the run, you didn't control the line,

684
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 3: turn image, turnovers were just non existent. Yeah, there were,

685
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: there were a lot of things, and Mike Nolan's defense

686
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 3: was just downright terrible. And I don't think they have

687
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: the talent on that defense yet. There was a young

688
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: it was a rookie, Trayvon Diggs. It was a rookie.

689
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: They were young, they were beat up. It just wasn't good.

690
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, I think, if I'm looking at what

691
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: I've seen from the Cowboys, defense through the first seven games.

692
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it and saying, this is Rod Marinelli

693
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: two point zero.

694
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's fair. And I think a lot of people

695
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 6: gave credit to dan Quinn obviously for the job that

696
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 6: he did in changing the trajectory of the defense and

697
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 6: getting turnovers and playing really playmaker like defense. But to

698
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 6: my opinion now it certainly like Youso obviously can't give

699
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 6: him credit for the run defense because that was also

700
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 6: an issue when dan Quinn was here. It wasn't that great.

701
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 6: Like you could always you could always point to the

702
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 6: Cowboys and be like, well, just run the ball, just

703
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 6: run the ball, and you won't like, they won't be

704
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 6: able to stop you. There's nothing they can do about it.

705
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 6: So as much as we're giving Mike Zimmer hell for

706
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 6: the way that the defense has played so far this year,

707
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 6: you have to look back at that those teams too,

708
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 6: and run the run defense was on an issue. Yeah,

709
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 6: you just don't have the the takeaways anymore, which is

710
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 6: a problem.

711
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 5: Well, and he makes an excellent point and shouts out

712
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 5: to him for making this point, and he got my

713
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 5: wheels turning because the fact that this has been and

714
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 5: I'm speaking of the run defense, the fact that this

715
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 5: has been one of the achilles heels of this Cowboys

716
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 5: defense for several seasons now, over the span of several

717
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 5: defensive coordinators. Well, then you say to yourself, Okay, that

718
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 5: means that while the each respective coordinator is accountable for

719
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 5: their own defense and accountable for not getting those guys

720
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 5: able to stop the run. Now it starts to become

721
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 5: the personnel question, right, so you start to wonder, well,

722
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 5: what was the personnel under Marinelli, what was the personnel

723
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 5: under Mike Nolan, which the personnel under Dan Quinn, and

724
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 5: now under Mike Zimmer And now we're having these personnel questions,

725
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 5: which means we're going back to free agency and the draft.

726
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 5: So now we're on that side of the conversation, that

727
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 5: side of the roundtable where it's just like, okay, well,

728
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 5: Mazzie Smith, he was a first round pick, was used

729
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 5: on Mozzie Smith with the hopes that he would be that. Okay,

730
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 5: he still developed into that, and he's still having his

731
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 5: ebbs and flows and more downs and ups right now.

732
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 5: But you know, he just needs to be consistent. There's

733
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 5: that word again, consistency versus inconsistency. Right, you throw some

734
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 5: money at Linval Joseph to get him here, But what

735
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 5: is that enough?

736
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: Was that enough?

737
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 5: Go back a few years and there were free agents

738
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 5: that came up, and you could talk about the Endominancus

739
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 5: of the world and things like that, and I'm not

740
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 5: saying they should have should not have gotten those guys,

741
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 5: but what if we can play the what if game

742
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 5: here where it's just like if personnel decisions were slightly

743
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 5: different in free agency and attacking the nose tackle on

744
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 5: the defensive line position outside of OsO Diggi Zuel, which

745
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 5: I still love to death and just keep Osa in

746
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 5: the building and just just do it. But now that

747
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 5: it becomes the personnel question. So if you're saying things

748
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 5: like the run defense at a higher level seems to

749
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 5: be an organizational concern, I don't disagree there. And then

750
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 5: the question becomes, well, what is that mean? It means

751
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 5: maybe the person knel and how those groupings are put

752
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 5: together on the roster sheet year after year, maybe that

753
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 5: approach needs to change. Maybe be a player earlier in

754
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 5: free agency at defensive tackle, and that's how that can

755
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 5: kind of trickle down in a positive way.

756
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, great points all the way around, and I

757
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: think it's interesting. Even off of those those two calls,

758
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: you had Gavin in Oklahoma City saying that he has

759
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: faith that the offense will turn it around, that the

760
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 3: defense is not going to play well. And then you

761
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 3: had Gerald who's saying he has faith that the defense

762
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: can figure something out with a play calling switch and

763
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 3: the offense is what's the problem. And he's talking about

764
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott on that. It's all these different perspectives of

765
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: how this thing is intertwined. When we come back, we've

766
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: got two more calls we're gonna get to. We got

767
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: Sean and Hot Springs, Arkansas and RDJ from New Jersey

768
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 3: coming up on the other side of the break hold tight.

769
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: We've got more talking Tuesday coming up. Right after this,

770
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

771
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 3: Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repell but

772
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying

773
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 3: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty

774
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: miles per hour.

775
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 4: But the good news is Todd has at and T

776
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 4: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

777
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,440

Speaker 3: We appreciate you as always, but uh, how have your

852
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 3: expectations changed for this football team now that we're going

853
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 3: into week nine?

854
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 7: Really they haven't changed a whole lot because with the

855
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 7: little bid that was done in the off season and uh,

856
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 7: the throw of schedule that we've had coming into it.

857
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 7: I can we're we're I kind of acted us to be.

858
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 7: So I'll tell you what. I had a big cup

859
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 7: of hopium this morning, and I know they're gonna get it.

860
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 7: Uh they don't get it. They gonna get it. They're

861
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 7: gonna figure it out. And I know where the solutions are.

862
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: Where are the solutions in the science. There's always a

863
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: hater in the bunch. What what do you say?

864
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 8: Science?

865
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 3: I went a little bit of the hopium too. I

866
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 3: need I need it this morning. I haven't had my

867
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: coffee yet. That would be great to just have a

868
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: nice cup of hopium. What's in the science?

869
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 12: What?

870
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: What are we getting it done?

871
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 7: They're gonna get it done. We're gonna start getting healthy

872
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 7: on the defensive side. And you know, after week one,

873
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 7: after the game, a couple of players said that they

874
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 7: haven't even bit into the schemes that they have built

875
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 7: up for this defense. So once they start getting healthy

876
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 7: and we get the Ron Bland back Micah DeMarcus Lawrence

877
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 7: to seal up the run and the pass rush, I

878
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 7: think that's gonna that's gonna get us good. And I

879
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 7: tell you what, I got us going three out of

880
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 7: four out of the next Oh.

881
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: I would be all for that nine. That would be fantastic.

882
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 7: You want to tell you, once we come, once we

883
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 7: come out of it, once we come into Thanksgiving, they

884
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 7: gonna say cowboy haters acknowledge me.

885
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: Oh TCT I like it.

00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 3: I this is what I want out of this season.

889
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: Yesterday when I was pressing the panic button and then

890
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 3: by the way, I'm still doing it today, I don't

891
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,600

893
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,960

Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Sean.

895
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: The optimism is significant. I can feel it radiating in

896
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: the studio here. Even more so it would radiate even

897
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: louder if you could give us one more tug of

898
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,799

Speaker 1: I feel like Kyle.

00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 7: Before it's all said and done, you're going to trade

903
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 7: in that panic button for one of those old states.

00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 16: I'm on board with you. I am definitely on board

935
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 16: with you about the Cowboys.

936
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 7: But here's my problem.

937
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 16: Can someone asked the question someone why Dak isn't running?

938
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 12: We need to know.

939
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 16: I mean, it's so important. I mean it's just like

940
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 16: there are just times when you're seeing yourself, why.

941
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 5: Aren't you running?

942
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 16: And and and some somebody one of the journals journalists

943
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 16: needs to ask that question because it's so important, Because

944
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 16: it's getting to a point right now that although I

945
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 16: have faith in the Cowboys. There are things that are

946
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 16: just happening that are not about details anymore. It's not

947
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 16: about cleaning up. It's like, what's going on with this offense?

948
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 16: What's going on with this defense? Why aren't we why

949
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 16: are we making plays that are so making plays that

950
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 16: are so predictable to the other team, and why are

951
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 16: we letting other teams run all over our defense? Something's

952
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 16: wrong here and we need to answer questions. But the

953
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 16: biggest question is why isn't Dak running when he should run?

954
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Tell you what I would do. I'll ask him on

955
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: Thursday on camera.

956
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 16: Thank you.

957
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 9: I'll be one.

958
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: If no one beats me to the question, I will

959
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: get that question.

960
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 3: I'm going to beat him to the question. I'm gonna

961
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 3: pop up on Thursday. I'm going to ask you either

962
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 3: way the eye as I ask it. I'm gonna be

963
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 3: like Dash, So, why aren't you running this year at all?

964
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 12: No?

965
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 5: No, As long as the Q gets asked it, just

966
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 5: know it will be asked on Thursday when they make

967
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 5: him available to the media.

968
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 3: We got you, love it, We love it. RDJ appreciate

969
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 3: the call as always be safe out there in New

970
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 3: Jersey and we'll talk to you again down the line.

971
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: He brings up a great point, though, and Jerry was

972
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 3: asked about it this morning. Jerry said, I don't necessarily

973
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: want him running. He wants him to be smart about it.

974
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 3: Is what he said. He wants them to be smart.

975
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: And if that's the case, I think whenever Jerry's cutting

976
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 3: the checks that ultimately accumulate to sixty million dollars a year,

977
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 3: I think smart would be stay in the pocket.

978
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 6: If it's eeronomical runs with Yeah, you.

979
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: Know, it's also smart. What's that winning winning games?

980
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: I agree, trust me, I'm not that one job checks.

981
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: So it is the run.

982
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 6: That's what Mike McCarthy said yesterday. Our job is to

983
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 6: win games.

984
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 3: If it's not about winning, we don't have time for it.

985
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 3: He said that couple of times. They didn't have a

00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,799
