I got your 74 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 7: birthday dinner in Seattle during the preseason. You had had 75 00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 7: two red bulls and all. 76 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, we actually I actually kept a pretty chill that night. 77 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 6: We had work. 78 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: What you'd be like, if you mix a little bit 79 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: of some spirits in there, spirits, spirits, you haven't really 80 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: lived until you mix that red bull. 81 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 5: Or something else. Somebody's trying to do that to me before, 82 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 5: and I smelled it. 83 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, I ordered a red bull and it came back 84 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 8: into glass and I was like, that's not just red bull. 85 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: A lot of if you go to a bar and 86 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 3: you order just a red bull, they sometimes will actually 87 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: think you're thinking, that's like a normal thing. I don't 88 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: think you should be my buddy, but my body's my temple. 89 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: Good job, Thank you. 90 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 5: There you go. 91 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: All right, We've got plenty of news and notes to 92 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 4: get to. 93 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: Of course, there's a lot of buzz around the defensive 94 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: coordinator position interviews starting yesterday. According to Jerry Jones, nine 95 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: am Central Time is when he said it got going. Nick, 96 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: Do you did you hear anything based off of how 97 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: those interviews went, who those interviews were with, and where 98 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: the direction could be headed. 99 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, those interviews are still ongoing. 100 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 7: I don't think anything conclusive is going to come out 101 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 7: of anything until probably after tomorrow at the earliest. But yeah, 102 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 7: interviewing candidates for replace dan Quins since the last time 103 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 7: we talked to Dan Quinn taking the head coaching job 104 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 7: with the Commanders. Really fascinating how that all kind of 105 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 7: came together so quickly. And then Joe Witt Junior over 106 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 7: the weekend following him as his defensive coordinator. So the 107 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 7: Cowboys do lose one assistant and one potential candidate in 108 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 7: their defensive coordinator search. He was slated to have an 109 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 7: interview on Monday, but he took the burden hand and 110 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 7: went ahead and take the defensive coordinator job with the 111 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 7: Watch Commanders. 112 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 6: I can't blame him for that. 113 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 7: And now you as far as in house candidates, you 114 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 7: look at eight and Dirty defensive line coach. You look 115 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 7: at Al Harris defensive backs coach. Outside candidates, you look 116 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 7: at Mike Zimmer, you look at Ron Rivera. Those are 117 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 7: two that are in the building this week. It wouldn't 118 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 7: surprise me if there's a candidate or two more that 119 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 7: they bring into interview just to kind of throw in 120 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 7: some parody and you know, really kind of widen the 121 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 7: scope on this entire search. But as of right now, 122 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 7: those are the names that are being thrown out. 123 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 6: I like them. 124 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 7: Mike Zimmer idea, I really do I want to start 125 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 7: with that. I think bringing him in would be an 126 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 7: interesting pairing with Mike McCarthy, the two half chemistry together. 127 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 7: Zimmer from his head coaching days, has a history of 128 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 7: putting together good defenses, and his defensive coordinator days has 129 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 7: a history of putting in good defenses. But the difference 130 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 7: for me is what he brings whenever he's running a defense, 131 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 7: and that's physicality, size and really focusing on stopping the run. 132 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 7: And I think later in his later days in Minnesota 133 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 7: that kind of bid him because they were giving up 134 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 7: so much in the passing game. But I trust with 135 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 7: what Dallas has personnel wise to be able to limit 136 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 7: the passing game. I want to be able to have 137 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 7: a coordinator that will focus on being able to stop 138 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 7: the run and keep things in the backfield. And I 139 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 7: think that's exactly what this team needs. I think that's 140 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 7: what Mike Zimmer brings. But that's just my opinion. What 141 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 7: do you think based off that? 142 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: I think those all valid points. 143 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 8: I think, yeah, I mean Zimmer in terms of his 144 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 8: resume and what he's done as a defensive coach, he 145 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 8: speaks for itself. I think his defenses have always been 146 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 8: highly respect I think the players that play for him 147 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 8: hold him in high regard. He's a no nonsense type 148 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 8: of guy. That's the one aspect that worries me a 149 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 8: little bit about him coming to Dallas is because I'm 150 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 8: not sure how that style of coaching works with this 151 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 8: generation of athlete. That's literally my concern as we as 152 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 8: it pertains to some of the some of these really 153 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 8: good coaches and even Bill Belichick, you know, I mean 154 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 8: Coach Belichick obviously the goat and coaching is highly regarded 155 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 8: it and as that, but his style of coaching might 156 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 8: be the reason why he doesn't have a job right now. Players, 157 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 8: you know what I'm just saying, Like players, players are 158 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 8: more sensitive to hard coaching. 159 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 5: Now, that's just the reality that we're in. That's across 160 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 5: the scope. 161 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 8: That's not just football, that's in all you sports and 162 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 8: all the way up to the NFL sports at times. Yeah, 163 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 8: it's just they're just not able to for in a majority, right, 164 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 8: majority of the athletes that we that we now are 165 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 8: around don't receive that type of coaching will So I'm 166 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 8: not sure how that personality would do with his locker room. 167 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 5: Now. 168 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 8: Can he change it, absolutely, But in terms of reception 169 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 8: That's what I'm more concerned about in terms of that 170 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 8: locker room field. 171 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 9: I kind of wonder though, what factors in with Mike Zimmer. 172 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 9: And then also Bill Belichick now looks like he possibly 173 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 9: could have a full season not to be coaching. I 174 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 9: wonder how much of that, like Mike Zimmer not coaching, 175 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 9: factors into that. Listening to dan Quin's press conference yesterday 176 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 9: in Washington talking about how, you know, when he got 177 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 9: fired in Atlanta, I gave him some time to sit 178 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 9: back and kind of, you know, adjust some things, maybe 179 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 9: change some things that he did before. 180 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: Gave him a little time to think perspective. 181 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, and I could see that being the same case 182 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 9: of Mike Zimmer because everything you said I agree with. 183 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 9: But I also think that he has to know that too. 184 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 9: So if he's just coming in trying to just do 185 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 9: the same exact stuff he was doing before, he's got 186 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 9: to know that that he's going to have to change 187 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 9: some things. Yeah, but yeah, I agree. I agree with 188 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 9: everything that Nick said. I the sake of the show, 189 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 9: I wish I could disagree because it makes for a 190 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 9: better conversation, but I do. I do think he's the 191 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 9: best because I think it comes down to him or 192 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 9: round Rivera. Yeah, and I like I like the Zimmer higher. 193 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 9: I think that that fits with Mike McCarthy where they're at. 194 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 9: And then in terms of the Joe Witt going over 195 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 9: to Washington, I think that's good for everyone because here's 196 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 9: here's the thing that I feel like is you don't 197 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 9: want to be bringing in a new defensive coordinator and 198 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 9: then just being like, yeah, so you're a guy, but 199 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 9: you got to take all these assistants with you, like 200 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 9: these all these You're gonna have to coach with these 201 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 9: assistants like you want your if you're hiring a new DC, 202 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 9: you want that person to be able to bring in 203 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 9: some of their own coaches too. So I'm not saying 204 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 9: that Joe Witt couldn't have worked with Mike Zimmer round Rivera. 205 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: So obviously he could. 206 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 9: But you're gonna want that coach to bring in some 207 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 9: people that he feels comfortable with too, that he's worked 208 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 9: with before, that he you know, trusts that you know, 209 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 9: have been been close to him. And so I do 210 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 9: think it comes down to those two, and I would 211 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 9: be leaning more towards Mike Zimmer. 212 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 8: So how does the assistant's positions work now on the 213 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 8: defense side of the ball. Contractually, I remember you guys 214 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 8: saying something about you can't leave unless they get upgraded 215 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 8: or money's more. 216 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 7: Commanders can really only take one, and they took Joe 217 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 7: at junior. The question I have, and the thing that 218 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 7: I haven't got a ton of clarity on which y'all 219 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 7: might be able to give a little bit more to, 220 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 7: is let's say they want to take Al Harris. Can 221 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 7: they give him a co defensive coordinator position and it 222 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 7: would still work? 223 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Probably? 224 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, I think that's the way it would have 225 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 9: to work. They'd have to give him a title that 226 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 9: would be above what he what he has right now. 227 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: Well, and that's that's if he remains under contract with 228 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: the Cowboys. Let's say Mike Zimmer comes in and he 229 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: wants to redo the staff completely, then those guys are 230 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: free to sign elsewhere regardless. So that's how a lot 231 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: of the coaching carousel works is if you bring in 232 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: your guys, you bring in these candidates and then they're. 233 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 4: Free to go elsewhere. 234 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 3: But I don't see anybody, whether it's Ron Rivera, whether 235 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: it's Mike Zimmer or any other coming in here and 236 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: saying Al Harris, listen, thank you for your service. 237 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 8: Contractually, contractly, are they once you, once you make a 238 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 8: new defensive coordinator hired, does their contracts now have the 239 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 8: freedom to just get up and walk away or how 240 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 8: does that work. 241 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: Now they're contracted with Team Team. Yeah, so it's a 242 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: little bit confusing. 243 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 5: That's why. Yeah, that's why I wanted to come in. 244 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, they can request to interview guys, but that the 245 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 7: Cowboys can block that. Yeah, And just kind of looking 246 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 7: at the landscape and how things have kind of moved 247 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 7: quickly with all of the other coordinator fillings as head 248 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 7: coaching and carousel has kind of gone through its cycle. 249 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 7: It would be tough to be able to fill a 250 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 7: staff with certain assistance being out of the building. So 251 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 7: whoever that new defensive coordinator coming in, if they want 252 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 7: to bring in guys, they better have it ready to go. 253 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 7: And you know, hopefully the people that would be let 254 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 7: go are kind of done right in that instance. But 255 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 7: you know one candidate that I heard on the on 256 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 7: social media last week that I just have to bring up. 257 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 7: It was from a certain account on this on this 258 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 7: table was Rex Ryan.

Because the challenge that you have by 336 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 8: bringing the defensive coordinator, you have to bring in a 337 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 8: defensive coordinator that that not only has a good track record, 338 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 8: but you have to bring in a as a coordinator 339 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 8: who can connect with your players that are currently on 340 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 8: your roster because you can't turn your roster over. Along 341 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 8: with that, you also have a challenge of bringing in 342 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 8: a defensive coordinator who has a scheme that's similar enough 343 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 8: to what you've already been running because the personnel that 344 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 8: associates with that. You can't turn your roster over in 345 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 8: one year. You don't want to have a rebuild, so 346 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 8: you have to deal with what you have. 347 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 5: Now. 348 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 8: There's gonna be guys that come and go, but the 349 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 8: core is still your core, right, So you can't all 350 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 8: of a sudden come in here and think that you're 351 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 8: about to just run a three four right, or you know, 352 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 8: whatever it might be like. You have to go with 353 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 8: what you have primarily on your roster. So when you 354 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 8: look about that, you look about what type of coaches 355 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 8: have the flexibility and the creativity to be able to 356 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 8: do that right. Much like much like Dan Queen, came in, 357 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 8: it was like, all right, I'm running three safeties. We're like, 358 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 8: what the heck is, No, nobody runs three safeties. He did, right, 359 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 8: That's what worked for him. It was off the wall, 360 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 8: but it worked for him, right, and they continue that 361 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 8: through his whole tenure here. 362 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 5: So when I think. 363 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 8: About Rex, like that, not Rob but Rex, Like, that's 364 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 8: what I think about, high energy, discipline, right off the wall, 365 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 8: big personality in Dallas, can connect with the players and 366 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 8: can and creative enough to have those guys around. And 367 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 8: I know there's a lot of other stuff that goes 368 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 8: along with him. Yeah, but I like him and I 369 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 8: like what he brings to the table. 370 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: I love all the elements that you're giving, and I 371 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: agree with you that a coordinator that will be brought 372 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: in needs. 373 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 4: To have those elements. 374 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 3: But there's one missing element that has to be had 375 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: that trust with your head coach. Your head coach has 376 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 3: to trust who you're bringing in, even if it is 377 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: for the year and it's the final year of Mike 378 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 3: McCarthy's deal and you have this one year hanging over 379 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy. He's not going to hire somebody he's not 380 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: going to trust and Rex Ryan very much so. Since 381 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: he's been out of the league, has has downgraded and 382 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 3: been against Mike McCarthy very vocally on TV. On his 383 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: television shows on Sunday Countdown or whatever the show is 384 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 3: that he's on, he's been very adamant about how he 385 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 3: disagrees with Mike McCarthy and he has downgraded Mike McCarthy. 386 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 8: I get it sometimes and I get it. Trust me, 387 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 8: I get it. 388 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 9: But I prevalence his job Isaiah at all. 389 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: No, no, no, he wants the TV job. 390 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: To create opening here. 391 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 8: I've been here, I've been I've been on the thirteen 392 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 8: and three. I've been on the thirteen and three Cowboys 393 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 8: roster where two coaches disagree but then get to where 394 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 8: you Jason Jason Garrett and coach Phillips did not see I. 395 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 8: There was a there was a disrespect that was going on. 396 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 8: There was communication bears, it was obvious the team knew 397 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 8: that there was a huge divide. So I've been in 398 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 8: that environment before and it worked out perfectly fine. You 399 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 8: didn't want a certain where you're at today, That's where 400 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. But what I'm saying, but 401 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 8: like I'm saying, like it can it can still you 402 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 8: can still have a successful team with that to those 403 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 8: two elements being on the east side. You guys are 404 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 8: over there doing your thing, rover here doing our thing. 405 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 8: Long as we have a clear line that there's not 406 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 8: going to be any disrespect in the building and that 407 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 8: everybody works undeath one roof, you don't have to agree. 408 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,479 Speaker 5: There's a whole locker. 409 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 8: Room of guys that come from different backgrounds, different beliefs, 410 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 8: different political beliefs, different cultures, different religions, all that stuff, 411 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 8: and you come together and you make it work on 412 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 8: the field every single thing. That's what's so amazing about 413 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 8: football is that you don't have to see eyed eye. 414 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 5: Right, I don't. I don't came from where you come from. Right. 415 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 5: I didn't grow up in Detroit, Right. I grew up 416 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 5: right in a. 417 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 8: Very diverse, not not very diverse area of Seattle. Right, 418 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 8: it was pretty much primarily black. But then when I 419 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 8: got the college, guess what, I'm playing with Polynesians, I'm 420 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 8: playing with Asians, I'm playing with everything. And it's like, Okay, 421 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 8: I don't know nothing about you or where you come from. Yeah, 422 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 8: And it's not a come out yeah absolutely right, And 423 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 8: like I don't like, I don't speak your language. I 424 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 8: don't you know, like I don't believe what you believe. 425 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 8: Like we see, we don't see eye eye on any 426 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 8: of these things. But guess what we would line them up. 427 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 8: We're together. 428 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 3: Hey, we don't see eye to eye on your take 429 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: of Rex Ryan's coordinator. 430 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 4: We're on this show. That's what it's all about. 431 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 5: Perspectives. Maybe it's all different. It's awesome. 432 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 6: I just want to throw some numbers here. 433 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 7: Mike Zimmer in his twenty two years as a coordinator 434 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 7: and head coach twenty two years, thirteen of those years, 435 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 7: he's finished in the top half of scoring defenses in 436 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 7: ten of those top ten Rex Ryan and five of 437 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 7: his first six seasons as a coordinator side head coach 438 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 7: top top ten scoring defense. Wow, did not do it 439 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 7: again for the next six years. So it's just like 440 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 7: looking at the body of work that he had in 441 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 7: those two years in Buffalo and then to finish out 442 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 7: with the New York Jets, and you kind of factor 443 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 7: in the issues that you had off the field too. 444 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 5: I get it. 445 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 6: It's just not I. 446 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 8: Get it this team specifically, I get it risk versus 447 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 8: and I could and I would feel that, And I 448 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 8: honestly feel the same way as we talk about a 449 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 8: Zimmer or Rivera and coming in here trying to coach 450 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 8: up with Michael Parsons, right, or some of these other 451 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 8: young superstars that probably don't want to hear nothing that 452 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 8: they got to say. 453 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 5: Don't like you gonna You're gonna curse me out? Like 454 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 5: are you serious? 455 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 8: Like some of these guys might have that response and 456 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 8: you might lose the locker room like like that if 457 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 8: you come in too strong. 458 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 3: Isn't that an indictment on the maturity level of your players? 459 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 8: Absolutely, But that's what you gotta deal with. That's what 460 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 8: you're catering to. That's what I'm saying, and that's the 461 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 8: reality that you're living in. So if you bring in 462 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 8: a Zimmer of Rivera those guys who were kind of 463 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 8: hard and those type of guys, and your players don't respond, well, 464 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 8: now what do you have? 465 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel I agree with you if this was 466 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 9: a defense that needed to be fixed and then they 467 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 9: were going out to get a defense court like the 468 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 9: pieces are there. And then the other factor is that, 469 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 9: like I said, zim or not coaching the last two years, 470 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 9: I find it very hard to believe that he can 471 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 9: think that he's going to come in here and start 472 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 9: doing that like that. He isn't gonna have to kind 473 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 9: of fit in, like he's gonna have his way of 474 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 9: doing things, but he's gonna have to kind of fit 475 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 9: with what they have here. Because the key is that 476 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 9: is it is a talented defense. So it's not like 477 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 9: you got to like, basically what I'm saying, he's coming 478 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 9: in after Mike Nolan. Let's say he's the higher after 479 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 9: twenty twenty disaster. You can do a lot of crazy things, 480 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 9: but there's a lot of pieces that are working here 481 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 9: that I don't think he can come in and do that. 482 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 9: And that's on Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy, whoever's in the 483 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 9: interview process to find out, Hey, what are you trying 484 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 9: to do? How can what you want to do fit 485 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 9: with what we want? And then they have to make 486 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 9: the best decision off that me. I believe though, just 487 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 9: because he has been out of the game for a 488 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 9: couple of years, that he'll be more willing to do 489 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 9: that maybe than he would have. 490 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 5: And that's the hope, Like that, Yeah, that's the hope. 491 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 5: I go to go off with what I've seen. Yeah. 492 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 8: No, I mean that's that's that's from all of our points, right, 493 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 8: I mean, for sure from the crazy Riggs Ryan idea, 494 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 8: it's it a crazy Zimmerman idea. Like I every guys 495 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 8: that I know who played for Zimmerman is just like, yeah, 496 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 8: he's a he's a. 497 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 498 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, that's that's just what I 499 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 8: know about him, and what I know about him, I 500 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 8: know wouldn't work with some of the players that are 501 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 8: currently on this roster.

Uh, 607 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 4: what grade would you give it? 608 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 3: John? If you're looking at what he brings to this 609 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: defense and how he would fit in and we're talking 610 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: aid to F scale, like a grade scale. 611 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: No, pluses or minuses. You can do plus Monk, Yeah, 612 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be it. 613 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 9: I'll probably be the highest on Round RIVERA anybody at 614 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 9: this table. So I'm gonna say be minus. I don't 615 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 9: think that just because it doesn't work out as a 616 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 9: head coach in you could make the argument the worst 617 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 9: situation if you think about who was the owner the 618 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 9: organization he stepped into. It's not like act like anybody's 619 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 9: just going in there and just fixing that. Oh no, no, 620 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 9: if you just if you just put Kyle Shannan back 621 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 9: in there, he would turn them in the Niners. So no, 622 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 9: he wouldn't have So yeah, yeah, he deserves something and 623 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 9: it's hard to get past. I have some of the 624 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 9: similar feelings I had about Dan Quinn in the sense 625 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 9: of I always kind of laugh at people that wanted 626 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 9: to ding his resume for the twenty eight to three 627 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 9: in the super Bowl because I can't get past the 628 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 9: he got the Atlanta Falcons to the Super Bowl and 629 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 9: so it's the same thing like he got the Carolina 630 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 9: Panthers to the Super Bowl with Ron Ree. Let's not 631 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 9: act like he can't coach. Okay, let's let's let's stop 632 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 9: with that. Like it's getting a little lot of control 633 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 9: on social media with some of that stuff. So I 634 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 9: don't think it would be an A. But out of 635 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 9: the candidates i've heard, I think he's the second best 636 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 9: choice because I have believed and I still do believe 637 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 9: that they will go with a former head coach because 638 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 9: they need somebody that can be the head coach of 639 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 9: the defense, and out of the candidates that are available 640 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 9: right now, I think he'd be the second best, so 641 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 9: be minus. 642 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 7: YEA for those exact same reasons, head coaching experience, just 643 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 7: what he's been able to do during his career, being 644 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 7: able to kind of fall back into a coordinator role. 645 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 6: I'd give it a BEE. 646 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 7: I think it's right and there in that range kind 647 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 7: of teetering on B plus but sitting at a B. 648 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 7: I think he'd be good for a culture fit as 649 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 7: well in the Dallas locker room. I'd be curious to 650 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 7: know what the interviews kind of come out of, though, 651 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 7: as far as where he's at in his career and 652 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 7: what he's still trying to accomplish and does he want 653 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 7: to be a head coach again. You know, there's a 654 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 7: lot of questions that I think would have to be 655 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 7: asked there. But he's sixty two years old. I mean, 656 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 7: there's still a lot left in his career. He's a 657 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 7: two time AP Coach of the Year. I mean, this 658 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 7: is a guy who's done it before, just had a 659 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 7: rough couple of years in Washington, and that's a tough 660 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 7: place to win. I want to give that little grace, 661 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 7: but also understand and realize that this last year was 662 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 7: really bad. 663 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 6: On the defensive side of the ball. 664 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 7: We granted they gave away to a really good defensive 665 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 7: lineman in the middle of the year, but wouldn't kind 666 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 7: of factor everything in. It Probably is a good time 667 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 7: for him to step back as a coordinator. I think 668 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 7: it would be an interesting hire. I wouldn't be sold 669 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 7: day one. I think with Zimmer I would be sold 670 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 7: earlier than I would be with Rivera. But give me 671 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 7: training camp and I could be sold on Ron Rivera 672 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 7: for sure. 673 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 4: What do you think He's a two time coach of 674 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 4: the Year. 675 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 5: I get it. I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see. I'm 676 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 5: just not excited about it. 677 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 6: Oh there you said, I'm going to see. 678 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna see. 679 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 8: There's nothing from my experience, from what I've watched on 680 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 8: film over these past you know, four plus years working 681 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 8: for the Boys, there's nothing that I've seen that's like, 682 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 8: oh man, yea, this defense is tough. Outside of the 683 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 8: personnel scheme wise, I don't see it. 684 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 5: I just don't. 685 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 3: Twenty thirteen, twenty fifteen, he won AP Coach of the Year. 686 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: He's one of three coaches since two thousand to win 687 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: multiple Coach of the Year wins Bill Belichick and Bruce 688 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 3: Arians or the other two. So, I mean, you have 689 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: the track record. Does he fit with this defense? 690 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 4: I don't know. I would probably stick with John. I 691 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 4: probably say like A B minus. I don't think it's 692 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 4: a C higher because I think if it's if it's 693 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 4: a C, you're kind of just your men. 694 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 5: You're at a C. 695 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 3: But it's definitely not an A higher. And I don't 696 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: think it's A high. I don't think there are any 697 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 3: a's out there. What about Mike Zimmer, that's the next 698 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 3: name on the list, Mike Zimmer. You guys have talked 699 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: about it significantly. What graade would you give it? 700 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 8: Isaiah B minus B minas it's a little bit higher 701 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 8: than a little bit higher, just because I mean, either 702 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 8: gonna either gonna hit with his style, or you're gonna 703 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 8: swing a miss in a major way and you're gonna 704 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 8: get a bunch of guys that are rejected and contracts 705 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,239 Speaker 8: coming up, not gonna want to stick around. Yeah, So 706 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 8: that's why I say personality is a big part of 707 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 8: this higher as well for me. So B minus just 708 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 8: because of his track record of defenses has been solid. 709 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 8: Is just this style that he brings. I'm not sure 710 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 8: that the creativeness is, but the discipline is definitely there, 711 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 8: So there's there's something to be said about that. 712 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: I mean, if you've talked about something that dan Quinn's 713 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: defenses have lacked, it would probably be discipline. So it 714 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: would fix one problem, maybe create another, but it would 715 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 3: still be I'd give it an a minus. 716 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 4: I really like the Mike Zimmer idea. I like how 717 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 4: much experience he has. 718 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 3: I like the trust that he and Mike McCarthy have together, 719 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 3: the way that they know each other both from a 720 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 3: strength standpoint and a weakness standpoint, because they've played against each. 721 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 5: Other so much. I like that. 722 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 8: I believe that's a certain extent, I honestly think that's 723 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 8: going to be the higher I. 724 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 5: Would give it. 725 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: I'd give it a low AA minus just because would 726 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 3: I rather have somebody else? Would I rather have Dan 727 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 3: Quinn in the building. Yes, But Mike Zimmer out of 728 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: the candidates that are available, that's the best candidate on 729 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 3: the block. 730 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm throwing to B plus and for me that's 731 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 7: the best candidate as well, and the best candidates to 732 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 7: be plus. 733 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: So completely agree. 734 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 9: I don't think there is an a candidate available. It 735 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 9: actually made me think, like, well, who is really an 736 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 9: a candidate And. 737 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 7: It's not realistic? Yeah yeah, it's Vrabel maybe, but like 738 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 7: it's not realistic. 739 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, I just I don't see anybody that would 740 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 9: be out there that you would sit there and say, 741 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 9: oh yeah, no, no, this is the no doubt, go 742 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 9: get person. 743 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: So I would say B plus. 744 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 9: But with that being said, to Nick's earlier point, I could. 745 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 9: I could after seeing training camp and you know, talking 746 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 9: with players and things like that, it could end up 747 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 9: being an a higher you know, if maybe there are 748 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 9: some tweaks there. The thing I keep going back to 749 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 9: is I just think that when you do something for 750 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 9: such a long time and then there's that period of 751 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 9: a couple of years where you don't get to do it, 752 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 9: I find it hard to believe that you just come 753 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 9: back and you don't do anything to change. 754 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: Also, I just. 755 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 9: Think that your hunger is very high, because there's probably 756 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 9: points in your life where you're thinking, well, I might 757 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 9: not get this opportunity again. So I think Mike Zimmer 758 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 9: would be very hungry. 759 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 3: What about Mike Rabel, You guys have talked about him 760 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: a little bit. I know it's not necessarily realistic higher, 761 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 3: but what would his grade b if he ended up 762 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: being the. 763 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 7: Choice I'm given a but it's just not gonna happen. Yeah, 764 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 7: it's just not gonna happen. I don't I don't see 765 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 7: Vrayebel stepping back into a coordinator role. He doesn't need 766 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 7: to if he did not get a head coaching opportunity. 767 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 6: I'd be surprised if he doesn't take a year off here. 768 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 9: I think if he got offered, ord he take it, Yeah, 769 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 9: would be a yeah, yeah, I mean it would be 770 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 9: a plus, no doubt about it. Outside of Isaiah's point 771 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 9: that if you're gonna come in here to misfite people, 772 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 9: I'm not saying he's gonna do it. 773 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: That's not gonna work, you know. 774 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 9: And and and to your point, like you could lose 775 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 9: it before you ever implement what you what you're trying 776 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 9: to get across. 777 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 3: And uh. 778 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: But again, the thing with him, why I don't think. 779 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 9: He would be like that is because I think he 780 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 9: would look at it as only one year, Like I'm 781 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 9: just trying to do this for a year. There's gonna 782 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 9: be good talent around me. I'm trying to get back 783 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 9: into that head coaching cycle next year. 784 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 8: So yes, I mean the thing is, I know I'm 785 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 8: probably thinking about this morning a lot of others. 786 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 5: Or maybe not. 787 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 8: This hire is directly tied to your ability to resign Micah. 788 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: Why do you say that. 789 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 8: Micah came in under dan Quinn. Dan Quinn's gone, Okay, 790 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 8: he loves the Cowboys. I think he loves money more yep, So. 791 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: You can't you can't make he can't make any more 792 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: money than he can from the Cowboys. 793 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 8: Absolutely, so why who could give. 794 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Him more money? 795 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 9: I mean, you're way beyond it goes it goes way 796 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 9: beyond down the field though, I'm talking about like the 797 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 9: money Deck Prescott makes off the field. 798 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: The money you can make. 799 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 9: Off you can't do it anywhere. 800 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 8: Absolutely, I totally agree with you, very aware or something 801 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 8: like that. So but you have to love where you work. 802 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 8: You have to love where your work, especially as a player. Like, 803 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 8: as a player, you gotta love waking up and going 804 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 8: and sitting in meeting rooms with somebody every day, and 805 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 8: that environment that you're in every day, you have to 806 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 8: love that. From a player's perspective, just telling you, guys, 807 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 8: and if you don't, life sucks. 808 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 5: Life sucks. 809 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 8: And you know what, I'd rather go take the check 810 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 8: for somebody else then to sit around and deal with 811 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 8: that every day. I'll find another way or I guess what, 812 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 8: I'll just make my money. My money will make money. Well, 813 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 8: I'm just I'm just telling you, Like, from the player's perspective, 814 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 8: this hire is directly tied to whether or not the 815 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 8: position that you're gonna put yourself in to be able 816 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 8: to resign Micah. If it's not an environment that's that's 817 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 8: conducive for him to thrive and to love to show 818 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 8: up to every day, you're gonna you're gonna take a hit, 819 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 8: and you're I'm just telling you, you're going to take 820 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 8: a hit. You're running the risk of not bringing him back. 821 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 9: And I understand what you're saying, but I'd also argue 822 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 9: that we're seeing a change in the NFL from the 823 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 9: NFL you played in. And one of the differences is is. 824 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: In the coaching. 825 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 9: And and I'm not just talking about the way that 826 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 9: the coach is coach if I'm talking about their longevity. 827 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 9: We've seen what Frank Wright, We've seen with Steve Wilkes. 828 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 9: It's those days are done where you're like, oh, we 829 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 9: got a new head coach. Oh he's gonna be here 830 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 9: for three or four years or eleven games, or is 831 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 9: it He's gone at the end of the year. Like 832 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 9: so you can go sign up with somebody. I think 833 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 9: you're getting what you what you want, and then all 834 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 9: of a sudden it changes on you too. From what 835 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,239 Speaker 9: Michael Parson wants. I find it hard to believe he's 836 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 9: gonna find that anywhere else but Dallas. 837 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, a couple of floors above us. So 838 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 7: these interviews going on, it's just pull up a chair 839 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 7: for Micah, you know, since. 840 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: You gotta build it around him. 841 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 7: I understand where you're coming from. To a certain extent, 842 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 7: I don't think the coordinator. I think that it's more 843 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 7: pertinent on the coordinator higher being able to use Micah 844 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 7: correctly rather than a piece to Micah, right, And I 845 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 7: think I think that's probably a bigger, bigger factor you'd 846 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 7: have to play in. I don't need a coordinator to 847 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 7: be Micah's best friend. 848 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 5: No, no, no, I'm not asking for that. 849 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 8: But I'm saying about like the environment, like a dan 850 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 8: Quinn environment, like you you knew what it. 851 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 5: Was going to be, You're going to want to show up. 852 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 8: I want to show up like like I want to 853 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 8: talk to you, like I want to have like we're 854 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 8: gonna have fun, like we're gonna be turning up on 855 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 8: the sideline, like I want that. 856 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 9: To his point though, if if I understand what you're saying, 857 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 9: but to his point, if if you're putting me in 858 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 9: the best position to have my best year, like if 859 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 9: my because you talk about pulling up a chair right 860 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 9: now with Micah, if I'm sitting down with any of 861 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 9: these dcs, one of the I mean, I think the 862 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 9: first thing I'm asking is how you use the Micae parsons. 863 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 5: What you're playing for Mike absolutely, and. 864 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 9: So even if the meetings might not be fun and 865 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 9: the prices are fun, if he's putting you in position 866 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 9: to where you're getting seventeen eighteen twenty sex he'll deal 867 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 9: with all that. 868 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 8: I don't disagree with you, but I just know that 869 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 8: environment is a big part of that as well. 870 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 4: It will be a big part of it, and that's 871 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 4: part of why this is. 872 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 3: Such a tough decision for the front office. 873 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 4: And maybe they are involving Micah in that process. 874 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: But I also that sound Mike McCarthy though too. 875 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 9: I think one of the best things Mike McCarthy's done 876 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 9: is with the environment around here. I do think that 877 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 9: if you I prefer off the record because you'll get 878 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 9: you would get the more truth out of players. I 879 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 9: believe off the record you'd get glowing reviews about playing 880 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 9: for Mike McCarthy, especially these last three years. The way 881 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 9: he takes care of him during the week, their practice schedule, 882 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 9: things like that, the way he treats him, the way 883 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 9: he schedules. 884 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: Meetings, things like that. He's very, very player friendly. 885 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 9: And so I think for what you're saying, I think, 886 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 9: top down, he's going to be the one in charge 887 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 9: of that, so that DC is not going to be 888 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 9: able to go in there and just be no, we're 889 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 9: doing all this, because this way you're gonna have to 890 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 9: kind of it's gonna Mike is the head coach, so 891 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 9: that has the factor. 892 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 4: In, and it does.

Super Bowl Sunday coming up this week. It's the 966 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 3: forty nine Ers and the Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in 967 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 3: Las Vegas. 968 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 4: What is the number one thing. 969 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 3: You've learned from how these two teams got here that 970 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 3: you could apply to the Dallas Cowboys? 971 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 14: Oh? 972 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 6: Why are you looking at me? 973 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 4: I just felt like you would have an answer that. 974 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 7: Size and physicality. I mean, I think that's probably the 975 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 7: biggest thing. Consistent offensive line play, a consistent running game. 976 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 7: I I think that's been really huge for both of 977 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 7: these teams, especially like you've got Isaiah Pachecko, a seventh 978 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 7: round pick, and what he's been able to do in 979 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 7: the playoffs specifically, I mean when they need a first 980 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 7: down ears three arts, I mean, he gets it done. 981 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 6: You know. 982 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 7: I think that's definitely something that you would look at 983 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 7: and you would hope to be able to accomplish. But 984 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 7: I think there's more you can learn off of the 985 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 7: Lions if you're talking about the Cowboys specifically from a 986 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 7: running game standpoint, because they added both of those guys 987 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 7: during the offseason, David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs, and they 988 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 7: were able to bring that running game to the forefront 989 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 7: and did what they did. But I think mainly being 990 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 7: able to just have size on both sides of the ball, 991 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 7: offensive line play, that's the biggest thing for me. 992 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 6: And then some guy named Patrick Mahomes. 993 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: That's why it's so tough for me to even compare 994 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: anything to Kansas City. 995 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 4: It's time. 996 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 9: I mean, if you want me to, oh, what's the 997 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 9: kind of how do you get like kannas sty get lucky? 998 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 9: I mean seriously, like he covers up so many things. 999 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 9: Like you can disagree with me, but I don't know 1000 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 9: that Isaiah pa Checko has the season he's on right 1001 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 9: now if he played this year for the Cowboys, you know, 1002 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 9: I mean he's in the probably not. You know, you 1003 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 9: play with Mahomes. It opens a lot of things up 1004 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 9: for a lot of people. Makes a lot of people. Look, 1005 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 9: I mean, we're watching I sincerely believe we're watching you know, 1006 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 9: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Tom Brady in their prime right now, 1007 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 9: like he is just a one off, so's whole. It's 1008 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 9: so difficult for me to compare. And Andy Reid deserves 1009 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 9: a lot of credit obviously, Like it's not like Patrick 1010 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 9: Mahomes is just going to go out there by himself. 1011 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 9: But it's so hard to compare anything and be like, well, 1012 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 9: you got to do this because this is what the 1013 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 9: Chiefs do. Okay, well give this team Mahomes and let's 1014 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,800 Speaker 9: see what happens. Like so I look towards San Francisco 1015 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,280 Speaker 9: and it's a lot of stuff that Isaiah said throughout 1016 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 9: the season about you know, the physicality the defense, being 1017 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 9: able to stop the run, being able to run the football. 1018 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 9: I mean, Jerry said it at the Senior Bowl. It's 1019 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 9: the being able to stop the run and being able 1020 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 9: to run the football. And it's so basic. That's leather 1021 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,240 Speaker 9: football helmets, you know, that's whatever you know that goes 1022 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 9: back as long as the game has been around. So 1023 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 9: the Niners, when you look at it, it's like so obvious. 1024 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 9: They're this big, physical team. They've been in your way 1025 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 9: the last three years. For the Cowboys. The only way 1026 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 9: I see you've beaten them is getting better at stopping 1027 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 9: the run or running the football. 1028 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 8: Yeah, trenches, Yeah, sending it all year long. Trenches matter, 1029 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 8: and that's what you've seen in the last four teams 1030 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 8: that were in the championship games. And that's what you're 1031 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 8: seeing in the super Bowl. 1032 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 4: How you watching the game Sunday? It is a big 1033 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 4: Super Bowl event, guys. 1034 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 5: I'm gonna sit down on the couch like normal and chill. 1035 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 4: Why you ignored my event to our super Bowl party? 1036 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 4: So why you ignored the invite to the. 1037 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 5: Super Bowl party? 1038 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 8: No, I I'll be chilling, man, I'll be chilling. 1039 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 5: Enjoy. 1040 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 8: I got bout myself a TV this year, so I'm 1041 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 8: sitting with your go to food. 1042 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 5: I'm not. I don't make like a big event of it. 1043 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 5: To be honest with you, I really don't. 1044 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 3: Know smoke mac and cheese, Nope, nope. 1045 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 9: I hate the big I only want to be around 1046 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 9: like hardcore football. I have no time for anybody that 1047 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 9: wants talking about the commercials. I would prefer to watch 1048 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 9: the game by myself over being around a big group 1049 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 9: people that are want to complain to me about Taylor 1050 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 9: Swift being shown too much. 1051 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 1: I just want to watch. 1052 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 8: I literally haven't thought about the game being this week. 1053 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 8: I legitly, I haven't got that way. 1054 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: Do you think that is? 1055 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 5: I don't know. I really don't know. 1056 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 8: I went last year, I've went, I went to a 1057 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 8: few of the last few ones where I was down 1058 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 8: there kind of in the environment. 1059 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 5: I just feel really detached from it this year, So 1060 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 5: I don't know. 1061 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 4: It's funny I kind of feel the same way. 1062 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 3: It may be the fallout of what happened with what 1063 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 3: happened with the Cowboys as one thing for me, because 1064 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 3: I mean, we spend all seasons. We started training camp, 1065 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 3: we start even before training teams, and you're getting into 1066 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 3: it and you're talking about possibilities, you're talking about growth, 1067 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,439 Speaker 3: you're talking about setups, and then you have it all 1068 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 3: come crashing down over the matter of two quarters. Ultimately, 1069 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 3: is what it took to take all of that work 1070 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 3: and throw it down. So yeah, I've watched the games. 1071 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 3: I've gone back and really searched what happened in the 1072 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 3: NFC and AFC Championship games. But as far as the 1073 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 3: excitement for an entertainment value of the Super Bowl this year, 1074 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 3: it's just not there for me. And maybe it's just 1075 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 3: a byproduct of that, and maybe I just needed a 1076 00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 3: little bit. 1077 00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 5: Of a break. 1078 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 9: I'm interested to hear other reviews are from the people 1079 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 9: that go to Las Vegas, because the way it's set up, 1080 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 9: if you've ever been to Vegas, it seems like it's 1081 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 9: like the perfect spot to host this type of event. 1082 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 9: And I would think if it got into a regular 1083 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 9: rotation of just four or five cities, it would certainly 1084 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 9: be one of those in there. 1085 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: So I'm interested to. 1086 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 9: Hear the feedback because I think up until that point, 1087 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 9: a lot of people talk a big about New Orleans 1088 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 9: being a great spot for it. I would completely agree 1089 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 9: about that, and then obviously I see La being in 1090 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 9: the mix all the time. But you know, for any 1091 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 9: of us that have been to that stadium, that stadium 1092 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 9: is not within walking distance. That's the thing that makes 1093 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 9: those events the best, like New Orleans like like, I 1094 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 9: could see Vegas being indies like that too for the 1095 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,479 Speaker 9: contents Why I love the Indies that the combine staying 1096 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 9: in India for at least another year. I love when 1097 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 9: it's like walkable to the stadium, to the hotels, convention center, 1098 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 9: all that stuff like that. So I bet you the 1099 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 9: only way that Vegas won't get good reviews is if 1100 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 9: it's just so overcrowded because it's a first flooding. 1101 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 4: The flooding out there too is played a bit of 1102 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 4: an impact. 1103 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: And the weather isn't like great weather. 1104 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 9: It's I think in the fifties or whatever like that, 1105 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 9: but it's not, you know, seventies, eighties or whatever like that. 1106 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: But I do think. 1107 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 9: If you were going to the game or you were 1108 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,800 Speaker 9: in Vegas right now, I think you probably feel a 1109 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 9: little bit different about it. 1110 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 5: I think Dallas gets another one, Oh they will, yeah, 1111 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 5: the stadium. 1112 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, I think we'll getting their Super Bowl. 1113 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, Reunion Arena exactly. 1114 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 1: No, and they build a new stadium out this way. 1115 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 9: You know something we don't know, but nothing whatever, surprise me. 1116 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 9: That's five years from now. He's start breaking around. Like 1117 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 9: in prosper. 1118 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 4: Solana Stadium up there. 1119 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 9: Imagine what would you do with AT and T Stadium 1120 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 9: if you move to Cowboys up the Arlington. 1121 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 4: Renegades would move play over there and they keep up grading. 1122 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, for real champs. 1123 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 7: Jerry Jones talked about that a little bit on Sunday, 1124 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 7: which I guess can kind of segue into our talking 1125 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 7: about AT and T Stadium getting nine World Cup games. 1126 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 7: In twenty twenty six. That's gonna be a huge event. 1127 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 7: But he talked about he was asked about, do you 1128 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,879 Speaker 7: think there's an opportunity here if you have a good 1129 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 7: run with these nine games, to have a better pitch 1130 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 7: first super Bowl next time around, And he said, yeah, 1131 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 7: we're always trying to get a Super Bowl here. 1132 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,240 Speaker 6: So the renovations is already starting at AT and T Stadium. 1133 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 7: Whenever me and Guy went on Sunday, you can kind 1134 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 7: of see it already beginning on the outer work of 1135 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 7: AT and T. 1136 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 6: And they're gonna do a lot of work to the 1137 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 6: suite levels. 1138 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 3: As well, chairs covered and like some draping down on 1139 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 3: the field and stuff. 1140 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 7: So yeah, and Jerry Jones said, you know, ten fifteen 1141 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 7: years after the stadium has been built, you know, we're 1142 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 7: trying to continue to make it look like the newest 1143 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 7: thing out there. So I think that's kind of the 1144 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 7: intention behind getting the World Cup in Arlington as well. 1145 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 7: We'll kind of see how that plays out, but if 1146 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 7: it goes well, then you know, that's just another you know, 1147 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 7: charity point.

He's really not. 1152 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 7: I mean, when you look at the grand scheme of 1153 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 7: things and specifically what countries would be able to come 1154 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 7: and play in those games, it's gonna be a big deal. 1155 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 7: And they're gonna get an opportunity to kind of get 1156 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 7: a preface of that with the Copa America Games next summer. 1157 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 6: But yeah, it's it's gonna to be a big deal. 1158 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 3: Well, and it may not be nine Super Bowls, but 1159 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 3: it might be the four group stage matches that might 1160 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 3: be four NFC Championship Game calibers, and then you've got 1161 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 3: the final group stage match, which is going to decide 1162 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 3: who's going on. 1163 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 4: To theout stage. 1164 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 5: Be huge, honestly. 1165 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,760 Speaker 3: Well, the semi final will be the biggest the world. 1166 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 8: People coming all over the world. That's the difference. That's 1167 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 8: the big difference. Like people forget people in America, forget 1168 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 8: how big soccer is internationally, and DFW is one of 1169 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 8: the best international airports. 1170 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 6: So yeah, semi final is going to be a huge deal. 1171 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 7: They get a semi final and I believe three other 1172 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 7: elimination games. So regardless, they're going to get some big 1173 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 7: time games. 1174 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 3: All of those will be bigger than the Super Bowl, 1175 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 3: based off of fair revenue, based off of merchandising, both 1176 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 3: based off of exposure, viewership, all of it. 1177 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be big time. 1178 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 9: I don't know why, but I'm so fascinated about the 1179 00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 9: whole playing surface thing because I am stars and just 1180 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 9: seeing like the renderings of what it will have to 1181 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 9: be like, because the grass will have to be built 1182 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 9: up on top of a thing that will take out 1183 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 9: like the first two or three rows of AT and 1184 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 9: T Stadium, And I just find it interesting because of 1185 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 9: the fact of, like, do we get to a point 1186 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 9: in the NFL where they require every stadium to have 1187 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 9: natural grass? I'm interested to see how. One because obviously 1188 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 9: for an NFL game you wouldn't have to build it 1189 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 9: up like that, you could have it on the playing services. 1190 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: But one, I'm interested to see how the grass holds up. 1191 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 9: And then two, is this something that could be sustainable 1192 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 9: going forward for the NFL because obviously all the players 1193 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 9: prefer to play on grass. Could that ever change in 1194 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 9: AT and T Stadium. I can't see it happening, but 1195 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 9: I'm interested in that whole thing, like, how are you 1196 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 9: going to have this natural grass here for nine games? 1197 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: And then how does it hold up? 1198 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,879 Speaker 9: Because like for Allegiance, I'm pretty sure that when they 1199 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 9: have college games and other games, I'm pretty sure they 1200 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 9: play on turf. 1201 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: So like yesterday when. 1202 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 9: They did the media day thing there, I'm pretty sure 1203 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,760 Speaker 9: they had the turf field in, so, like the actual 1204 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 9: Super Bowl field is outside because it has to be 1205 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 9: growing then the natural grass and then it like slides 1206 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 9: in kind of like Arizona Stadium does, where it grows 1207 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 9: it outside like that, and so sometimes that runs into 1208 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 9: problems because once you move it inside there can be 1209 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 9: condensation things like that, and then all of a sudden, 1210 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 9: if it's slippery and guys are all over the place. 1211 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 9: If that's going to be the case, and we'll play 1212 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 9: on turf type thing, you know, but if it's going 1213 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 9: to be sustainable, it'd be fascinating to see if this 1214 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 9: whole thing works out for them, because that's that's gonna 1215 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 9: be such a big thing for people that don't really 1216 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 9: like love soccer. It's going to be like, oh my god, 1217 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 9: like this playing service is terrible. They should never have 1218 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,359 Speaker 9: had it at this stadium. Or that stadium or whatever 1219 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 9: like that. 1220 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big deal. 1221 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, grass science. 1222 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how we end up on talking grass. I 1223 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 3: mean cowboys, I mean. 1224 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 9: I don't know, they get a better expert in that 1225 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 9: field than somebody that's in this building right now, Mike McCarthy. 1226 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy. Yeah, if you start talking about grass with him, 1227 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 9: I mean, he can break it all down. He can 1228 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 9: tell you all different types, what kinds he prefers for, cleats, 1229 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 9: all those things like that. That's why I mean, he 1230 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 9: prefers to practice sign grass as much as possible. 1231 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 7: So yeah, I tried to come to push the the 1232 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 7: what's what's the word I'm I'm looking for push the anyway, 1233 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 7: I try to ask Jerry Jones about how much work 1234 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 7: will go into the stadium and and his walk off 1235 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 7: after the World Cup thing, and I was like, how 1236 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 7: much work is really going to go into being able 1237 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 7: to fit fee for regulations from a widening standpoint and 1238 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 7: then putting natural grass down. 1239 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 6: He's like, yoh, well, you know it's gonna be a 1240 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 6: hefty penny. Well, but we could pay the check. 1241 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 7: I was like, how much work is going to go 1242 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 7: into it? He's like it's gonna be a lot of work. 1243 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 7: And I was like, all right, a year. 1244 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 9: Right, But even be a finalist to whole host that 1245 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 9: last game, I would have I would hope that they 1246 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 9: had to have a detailed plan that was put out 1247 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 9: at the big front of whatever committee had to look 1248 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 9: at it like this is how we can make it work, 1249 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 9: because that's the thing. Like, as far as I'm concerned, 1250 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 9: because I'm not a super big soccer fan, but I'm 1251 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 9: pretty sure soccer's always played on grass, at least big 1252 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 9: games like that, Yeah, they prefer playing grassy.
