153
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Why tell me? Why? Why? Why tell me why? I'll

154
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: tell you why. This man was because I got no, no, no, no,

155
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: there's no there's no answer. Good right. But and the

156
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: one you never want to say, Well, I thought, don't

157
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: ever say thoughts. You guys know, don't ever tell the guy.

158
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: I thought, Oh see, you thought, that's the problem. You're thinking. No,

159
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: how WoT you think I couldn't coach? Man, I couldn't.

160
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't coach. So today I get a phone call

161
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: from somebody over at the NBC since the Cowboys have

162
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: the Colts game this weekend, and they said to me,

163
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: knew it, what does this Cowboys defense need to become great? Wow? Now,

164
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: before I tell you what I said, I figure i'll

165
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: bring it to the crew. I'm gonna start with you. Heck,

166
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: what does this team need the defense become great? The defense? Man,

167
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: I struggle with that question because I think they have

168
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: all the inner workings of a great defense. And when

169
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I think great defense, I think ninety one Eagles. I

170
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: think UH with Jerome Brown and White. Um, I think

171
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: the Still Curtain. I think the two thousand Baltimore Ravens. Um,

172
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I think the New York Giants when they want Yeah,

173
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean I'm thinking about and you start talking about

174
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: those names and the guys that you had up front.

175
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: To me, you you have everything at the at the edge,

176
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: you have everything at the cornerback position. I think you

177
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: even have it at the safety position. When you talk

178
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: about JK and what he's doing, I think the only

179
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: missing piece is a guy up front. That's the only

180
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: thing that I can think of. You don't have a

181
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Warren Sap, you don't have a Sarah Goosa. You don't

182
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: have you know, you don't have that one guy upfront

183
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: that you could say he's and and I struggle with

184
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: that because I think of Dicky Zula. I think a

185
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: lot of these guys they fit the mold they're getting there.

186
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think that they are when we think

187
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: dominant and when we think those great defenses, I don't

188
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: think that you put those guys in that same vein. Yeah,

189
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: and I'm with you as far as this defense being

190
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: as close as perfect as you can be. I mean,

191
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: obviously they're not perfect. Obviously they're not the two thousand

192
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Ravens or the O two bucks or anything like that.

193
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: But these guys they got playmakers on each level. You

194
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: talk about the defensive line, the way they're able to

195
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. They've gotten better in stopping the run.

196
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: You look at that secondary Russian cover works together. You

197
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: got Digs, you got Brown sometimes Brown, you know, he

198
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: gives up some plays here and there, but overall, I

199
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: think he's an extremely solid corner. And you've mentioned the

200
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: safeties you've got two guys that can play in the

201
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: box extremely well. They can blitz when you talk about

202
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Wilson and Jay Kang, and you got the ultimate, you know,

203
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: middle of the field safety in Hooker who makes sure

204
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: everything's kept in front of the defense. So they're extremely

205
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: you know, extremely good. I would say they are extremely good,

206
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: almost great defense. I just think maybe the one thing,

207
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: if anything, I can put my finger two is maybe

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: having a playmaker on that second level, that playmaker on

209
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: that line level. Early in his career, Lve, you know,

210
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: his rookie year, he was that playmaking guy. We've seen

211
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: him scooping and scorn coming off of sacks, forcing fumbles,

212
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: getting interceptions. We've seen that, y'all. We talk about the

213
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: Ravens they had Ray Lewis, you talk about the Buccaneers,

214
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: they had Derek Brooks out there. So I just think

215
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: maybe in our linebacker corps solid, it's extremely solid, but

216
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: just maybe having a playmaking linebacker on that second level

217
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: can put this defense over the top. But rise of

218
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, I'm extremely happy with this defense

219
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: is doing so far this season and their strength of

220
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: this team, so they don't need much. Maybe a playmaker

221
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: on the second level. Okay, here's what I said. You guys,

222
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: tell me how you feel about it. I said, um,

223
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: you cannot be a great defense when you were twenty

224
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: fourth in the NFL against the run and allowing teams

225
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: running for one hundred thirty two yards against you. A

226
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: great defense is not going to allow that tap. They're

227
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: gonna shut that down. And that was my that was

228
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: my response. I had to think about it for a minie.

229
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: I was like, and that's what I came back to us, like,

230
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: I said, you know, that's it. That's it. When you

231
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: look at statistically they are number one against the past

232
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: in the National Football League total defense their seventh, but

233
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: twenty four. That stood out to me when you think

234
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: one hundred thirty two yards, that's a lot of that's

235
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: that's that's folks running on the man. That's that's that's

236
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: some stuff. So so to me, that was what I

237
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: That's what I said to the person NBC Scots. Yeah,

238
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: and I think this this Dan Quinn has probably he's

239
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: not preaching this, but it's a bend but don't break

240
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: style when it comes down to the run. We we

241
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: talked earlier in the season about the points that they

242
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: were allowing. I think teams were not even getting past

243
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: fifteen points on this defense. It wasn't until you know,

244
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: a certain point, maybe Green Bay. Uh the season are

245
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles that they you know, we had a team

246
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: score over twenty points on them. Look, I just think

247
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: that this is a passing league and teams are concentrating

248
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: so much on getting sacks and stopping those big plays

249
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: that now, as I've said, you know, the revolution of

250
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: the running game, teams are starting to go now towards

251
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: running the ball at these smaller defensive linemen or defensive

252
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: linemen that are not trying to gobble up blocks and

253
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know alignment play alignment assignment football, and

254
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: that's how you stop the run. So I think they

255
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: had have There's been a complete thought process change as

256
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: it relates to this defense mid season. That's that's the development,

257
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: because they want to be elite, and that's the one

258
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: thing like that is the thorn in their side. Knowing

259
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: that they're twenty fourth in the run one thirty two

260
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: per you know, that's that's not gonna get it done,

261
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: and that's gonna keep you out of that that company

262
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: of being a legue, especially when you're going against better teams.

263
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all seen it. You know, we going

264
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: into last year, going into the playoffs. You know it

265
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: was the penalties that kind of came back and hit

266
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: us in the end. This rushing attack when you get

267
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: into those NFC playoffs you're talking about you know Seattle

268
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: who can run the football extremely well, the forty nine ers,

269
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: they can run the football extremely well. Look at Philadelphia.

270
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: That's all they do, it is running the football. So

271
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, you're you're gonna go against teams,

272
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: better teams when you get into the playoffs, and that's

273
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: something that you gotta, you know, stitch together and make

274
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: sure you get it together because at the end it

275
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: might hit you in the butt. If if we get

276
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and teams were still able to run

277
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: the football on you. How about these numbers for the

278
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: eighty six Giants fifty nine sacks as a team, intercepted

279
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: twenty four passes um. In the playoffs, they gave up

280
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: twenty three points total total like all rounds, and in

281
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl they won thirty nine to twenty over Denver,

282
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: which means only played two games and dudes, onlys go

283
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: at three points against them. Lords Taylor twenty and a

284
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: half sacks, Leonard Marshall twelve sacks, Carl Banks six and

285
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: a half sax. I was guys getting apped for people

286
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: right there. That was I was. I was five sacks

287
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and the eighty six Giants comes back on the heels

288
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: of how great that eighty five Bears team was. It

289
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: wasn't the eighty six Bears even better statistically? Just crazy.

290
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: They were good. But you know, and this is just

291
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: my field. What when you when you try to when

292
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: when you when you try repeat, you know the whole

293
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: season in eighty five, you win in eighty five, you

294
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: know you're everybody loves you. You're not paying for nothing.

295
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's tough to come back the next year

296
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: when you went in a town like that, I think

297
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: sixty three since they won the Super Bowl. I mean

298
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: that's hard to have that say, like a rocky three

299
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: minute they had an eye tiger baby they had it

300
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: was a full tig tiger had to get up and hunting. Nobody.

301
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: Everybody was bringing the food. You know what you want

302
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: to want to pay his book? You gotta hunt nothing, man.

303
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard, man. You know. That was a

304
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: dominant defense Richard Dent, Wilbell, Marshall. Well, they had some

305
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: they had some dogs on that defense. But when you

306
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: switch over and you talk about the Giants, that was

307
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: a different league back then, Like you had running backs

308
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: that random ball carried, Like the stat line was forty

309
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: carries for a hundred And that's why these guys are

310
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: walking around like man that guys can't walk because he

311
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: carried the ball forty thirty five times per game. That

312
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: was the stat line. I mean, try Troy Aikman couldn't

313
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: have imagined throwing the ball as much as Dak Prescott

314
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: has to throw the ball, you know, so a different league,

315
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: different time, and so for those numbers to be that

316
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: just shows their domination attention to the detail of stopping

317
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: the run, because that's all there was. You know. It's

318
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: not like you didn't have guys like Jerry world Rice

319
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: out there and guys that were just completely balling, but

320
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: the run. Stopping the run was the number one thing

321
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: for a defense that bears defense that year in eighty five,

322
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: Richard Dent seventeen sacks, Otis Wilson ten and a half sacks,

323
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: Team Michael eight sacks, Leslie Fraser's six interceptions. Dave Duerson

324
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: five's Gary Fensick had five intersects, and they came and

325
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: played the Cowboys that year and it was forty four nothing. Um,

326
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, Mike singletary boy. And then the Steelers

327
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: defense surrendered a grand total of twenty eight points through

328
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: nine games, had a nine and nose stretch which included

329
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: five shutouts and two contests with three points allowed. Um,

330
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: you'll never see that. It's seventy six steal. Yeah, that

331
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: that'll never happen. Man. You know in a league where

332
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: when it changed all the rules, that ain't that right there,

333
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: that right there might be be that might be more

334
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: secure than that Dolphins seventy two uh season where they

335
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: were undefeated. Because there's there's no way the twenty eight

336
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: points to nine games, nine games, that's ridiculous. That's stupid

337
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: offense at home, which in five shutouts in the nine okay,

338
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: five shots in the nine and it's two of the contest.

339
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: We only gave you a few goals, so then you

340
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: score touchdown. That's crazy, man, that's absolutely crazy. Um. And

341
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: this this week, once again, here the Cowboys facing off

342
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: against a Colts team where you know what they can

343
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: run the ball um they're averaging one hundred and eighteen

344
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: point three yards. That's seventeenth in the league. Jonathan Taylor

345
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: not as good, but that offensive line not not as

346
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: good as but the Cowboys, in my opinion, and we've

347
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: spoken about it right here on this podcast, gotta go

348
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: ahead and put together some better performances and stopping the

349
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: run and obviously some of the numbers they've had here

350
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: earlier in the in the year. You know, you think

351
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: about that the Lions ran on the Green Bay ran

352
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: or Chicago, Chicago and two or thirty nine yards. Got

353
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: to cut that down. So it's one more opportunity to

354
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: do that. Let's take a break. I want you to

355
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: think of something positive about what Mike McCarthy's done these

356
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: heating Okay, because I was also asked this question something positive? Yeah, yeah, support,

357
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: I want something positive about what Mike McCarthy's doing. I say,

358
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: you know that gave them something that's like, you can't

359
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: really bring this to the show. We ask the guys

Speaker 1: All right. I need you to come up with something

414
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: positive about Mike McCarthy because I was asked that from

415
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: my NBC sports calls or getting ready for Sunday and

416
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: Night Football on NBC between the Colts and the Cowboys.

417
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: I had a few. You had a few, A few, man,

418
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: you should have gave me one. So I want to

419
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: know for you guys, what would you up said? See

420
00:22:53,440 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: see how you do it right? There? Many Chris Beam

421
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: gave us. Chris Beam gave us game management, right, we

422
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: had that. Um so I won't take that one. Oh god,

423
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: man just said dan Quinn do what he do. I mean,

424
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: they're not the way okay, um man, Zeke that's it.

425
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: The way that he handled Zeke's of the mcl sprain. Okay,

426
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: it was different from last year where they allowed him

427
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: to continue to play. Realizing that you have Tony Pollard

428
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: and you can give him that air time and let

429
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: Zeke hill. I think it's going to be the saving

430
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 1: grace for this Russian game. Okay, I like that one. Um.

431
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: I know we talked about the game management, which he's

432
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: done a great job of. But to me, I'm giving

433
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: him credit for getting the most out of his players,

434
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: each and every one of his players. Like I understand.

435
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, some people say, oh, it's Kelly Moore scheme

436
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: or it's Dan Quinn doing this, but he's the head

437
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: coach and he put this thing together, so I'm giving

438
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: him the credit. Forward. If we look at it, what

439
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: has happened when you lose your quarterback one after the

440
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: first week. For five weeks, you're going out there with

441
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush. Where I was on this show

442
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: and I mean, hey, I was completely wrong, but I

443
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: was on this show saying it's a rat. It's done.

444
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: They ain't got nothing. It is done. They're gonna end

445
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: up losing the start the draft shows a rat. But

446
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: when he was able to do with that offense and

447
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Taylor fitted to where Cooper Russian go out there and

448
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: get the most of his abilities, to where people were

449
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: talking about I don't know sho we stick with Cooper

450
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Rush from the rusting the season. To me, he's getting

451
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: the most out of each and every one of his players.

452
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: The players respect him as a coach, that respect what

453
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: he's doing out there, and he's giving these guys the

454
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: rest he's he's This team never looks tired out there

455
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: when they go out on the field. They never looked like,

456
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: oh man, we had too long of a practice, like

457
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: we're starting slow, or we're getting drug in the second half.

458
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: You never see any of that. The players are responding

459
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: to whatever he's doing on the practice field, and I'm

460
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: giving him full credit for it. So to me, it's

461
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: getting the most out of your players, because not a

462
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: lot of coaches can do that. You know, we've seen

463
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: when he was here with Mike Nolan, how that how

464
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: that defense looked in he got those same players almost,

465
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: So you gotta give him some credit where credit is due. Well, gentlemen,

466
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: I answered the question, and I said, we expect the

467
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys winness game right. Oh, yeah, it'll be over a

468
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: half time, so that will give them ten wins, correct, yep? Ten?

469
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: Wait nine? I wasn't ninety nine and three or eight? Yeah? Nine,

470
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: give them nine wins. They'll give them nine wins. Are

471
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: you feel good about a tenth win? Yes? Okay, okay,

472
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: right right now? Wins? Right? Oh yeah, that's two. So

473
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: here and I said, here's the guy that's gonna win

474
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: ten games, minimum of ten games. They hadn't had a

475
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: coach win back to back ten win games since Barry

476
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: Switch MHM back in the ninety eight season. Ninety six.

477
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: She's looking at here, man, So Dallas Cowboys nineteen ninety six,

478
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: ten and six, Dallas Cowboys nineteen ninety five, twelve and

479
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: four hadn't seen that a minute. I said, he's on

480
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: his way to do it. Man, I mentioned Cooper Rush.

481
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: I said, how many guys after the first game as

482
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: bad as the Cowboys looking which they didn't score a touchdown.

483
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: You lose your starting quarterback and everybody writes you off.

484
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: And Cooper Rush goals four and one and the only

485
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: game he lost to was the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah. Then

486
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: I said, he's played without us starting quarterback, one games,

487
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: lost games from your starting tight end. Hadn't had you

488
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: started left tackle all season long? In the first game

489
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: he started, left guard gets hurt. He misses some time

490
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: out there. You're start running back, it's hurt, missus time.

491
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: You got Mali Cooker when you start safeties, he's missing time.

492
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: Jay Ron curse you started saying missing time back that

493
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: I said, the amount of guys who have missed time

494
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: and younger players that you need to step up. I

495
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: was like, Tyler Smith did not play a snap at

496
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: left tackle at all during training camp. I was worried.

497
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: I said, we left training camp and I'm like, this

498
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: kicking situation is bad. Field goal kicker has been fantastic.

499
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: Special teams has been an area in which they can

500
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: hinue to improve. You go out here, you get a

501
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: Commante Turpin and Turpin and makes a difference out there.

502
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: I said so in my opinion, watching Mike McCarthy develop

503
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot of young players, have guys go out there

504
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: and get the job done. I mean, people, forget Matt

505
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: Farniac was out who starting some games on the offensive

506
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: line for this team. You never looked and said, oh,

507
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: that young players killing us. They said, they just kept playing.

508
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: Then I said, as much credit as dan Quinn gets

509
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: for being as good as he is. Mike McCarthy was

510
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: the one who brought dan Quinn in here. Ye. Mike

511
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: McCarthy also admitted that when Jerry was out here, you know,

512
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: giving him, giving him head coach money to stay and

513
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: mentioning him like he could be the next head coach

514
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: as he as a younger guy, he would have been.

515
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: You know, only I don't want this guy right, He's like, no,

516
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: I want this guy here to be eagleless in the

517
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: process and to be a steadying force that he hasn't

518
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: changed at all. So I was I was giving those

519
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: platitudes about Mike McCarthy because I said, I think he

520
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: deserved I said, oh, by the way, I guess what

521
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: we were all saying, Sean Payton gonna take job. Okay,

522
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: this man was written off, and what has he done.

523
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: He's proven that he's a good football coach who can

524
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: handle a lot of situations. Or another situation that I mean,

525
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: remember how panic the whole bunch of people were not

526
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: me about, Oh we don't have Randy Gregory, Oh what

527
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: are we gonna do any other side Dwarrence Armstrong eight sacks,

528
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: career high, Dante Filer five sacks. Sam Williams, the rookie

529
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: from Old Miss until he figures out what to really

530
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: do in the National Full League. Um, you know that

531
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of stuff we don't we don't talk about. For

532
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys are a good team. You could argue,

533
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: the second best team in the NFC. No worse than third, okay,

534
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: and no worse than third with all the differences, all

535
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: the different lines they've had to throw out there, all

536
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: the different people they've had to ask him play. Oh

537
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: and I said, oh, by the way, you know they

538
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: lost the starting is a slot corner golf for year.

539
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: I said, that's that's credit to a man who's built

540
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: a culture. Um, and and they've improved and got young guys, Buddy,

541
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: the rookie Titans and all of us enjoyed watching the

542
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: whack themole on thanks To Day for the Rickie tight ends.

543
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: I said, that's Mike McCarthy is a coach. That's Lunda

544
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: Wells being able to be empowered as a coach and

545
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: developing guys. And we don't talk about that enough because

546
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: I just think it's underappreciate. You know, we beat Mike

547
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: McCarthy up and losses when he's winning, and you see

548
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: the way this thing is going here. Um, I don't

549
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: think we talk enough about it. There is a culture

550
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: here and it's and it's pretty good. Yeah, that's what

551
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: I said. No, I love everything that you just said.

552
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: And just to take it further, he doesn't get enough

553
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: recognition with the national media. Uh. If any of these

554
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: other guys that we had discussed that have turned their

555
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: teams around had lost their starting quarterback and won the

556
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: amount of games that he has, they'd be they would

557
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: be talking about him in the same breath as Coach

558
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: of the Year. He doesn't get any of that. Um.

559
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Some of the knee jerk reactions that people wanted him

560
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: to have about, you know, potentially firing Philbin, you know,

561
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: he didn't react to that. He doubled down on making

562
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: sure that he kept building and look at how coach

563
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: Philbin has been able to develop this offensive line. There's

564
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: been so much about special teams that we talked about again,

565
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: special teams now being one of the strong suits, one

566
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: of the stronger parts of this team. So look, I

567
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: am one of those people that you know, I come

568
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: from a family where my uncle was a coach. You know,

569
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: I hate to hear those things about guys losing their livelihoods.

570
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, when you start on a

571
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: coach talking at the beginning of year, like the way

572
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: that they did with all the Sean Payton talk, I

573
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: thought that that was unfair. They can't come back now

574
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: and clean it up and say, man, put all of

575
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: that to bed. Now he still has hovering over his head.

576
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: What do you do in the first round of the playoffs.

577
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: Let's just keep it real, all right. He still has

578
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: it there. He still has a job to do, and

579
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: this team has to perform for him in the playoffs

580
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: because if not, those same people will return with the

581
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: same narrative. They just waiting in the wing. That's all

582
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: they're doing, you know. But but for everything that you

583
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: just said about his his h the job that he's

584
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: done coaching man. I think it speaks to him. It

585
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: also speaks to his experience in Green Bay and what's

586
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 1: made him a better coach here in Dallas. So you

587
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: think if he doesn't for some reason get past the

588
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: first round this year, do you think that that criticism

589
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: that will come is it warranted he goes another year

590
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: out of the wild card. It's context. Yeah, it really

591
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: is all about the context. Do you get beat on

592
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: the last second field goal? Do you get beat on

593
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: a on a clear pass interference call that goes the

594
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: other way for the other team and they walk out

595
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: there kicking field goal and go, I mean, how does

596
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: it happen that that? That's going to be the whole thing.

597
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: If you if you're blown out, that's going to be

598
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: one thing. But if you lose a close game and

599
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: Jerry wants to absolve you of it, I e. Jason

600
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: Garrett losing to Mike McCarthy and the Packers at home

601
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: is the number one seed, you know, that's that's That's

602
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: what it's the context. So either way he keeps, he

603
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: keeps going next year, even if blowout or closed game,

604
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: first round exit. I'm saying first round. He's good to

605
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: go for the next year, no matter what. If I'm

606
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, here's what I know, I'll be coaching somewhere

607
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: in the National Football League no matter where. Oh yeah,

608
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it out. Okay. So so Jerry wants

609
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. Mike McCarthy will land

610
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And I mean, hey, Cleveland, you snatched this

611
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: guy up. You say, if you're the charge, you snatched

612
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: this guy Denver, we why is it snatched this guy up?

613
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean so, so he's going to be fine no

614
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: matter what. But we just know context matters when when

615
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about this, because unfortunately for Mike McCarthy, David Moore,

616
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: than Dallas More News, really it broke this down from

617
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: me a training camp. He is having to carry the

618
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: sins of all these other coaches who couldn't do anything

619
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: in terms of winning getting to a super Bowl. So

620
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, you got hey, Mike, you didn't do it,

621
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: but we're you were carrying the fact that Jason Garrett

622
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: didn't do it, that Wade Phillips didn't do it, that

623
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Bill Parcels didn't do it. Nobody was

624
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: expecting it from Campo though, um chan Dailey couldn't do it. Look, no, no, no, no, no,

625
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: I got it. Remember when you know they were they

626
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: were way over the cash cut Troy. I mean, you know,

627
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: he got Quissy Carter and Tony Bangs and you don't

628
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: expected to come over. He was hoping. Got to the

629
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: point to Jerry was just hoping to try. He was

630
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: just hiring Bill Parcells to get a stadium. Bill, guy,

631
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: I just leave a new stadium. Guys. So they weren't

632
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: trying to win. But you know, those other coaches were

633
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: expected to take the Cowboys back to the promised land.

634
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: Um so, so you know, take Campo out of there.

635
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: The other ones were given the kinds of resources and

636
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: opportunities and expectations to do something. So I think with

637
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: the talent on his roster, Barry, he's expected to win

638
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: that first man, we bought everything in here for you

639
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: to be successful. We've given it to you. This team

640
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: is built to win right now. There's nothing future about

641
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. This is this is a right

642
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: now kind of deal. They were. But yeah, but heck,

643
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: I look at Kansas City like this is what me

644
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: Why I don't. Coach. You couldn't have told me they

645
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: weren't about to go out there and take on Cincinnati

646
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: and not go to Super Bowl. Man, I'd have been

647
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: to fool out there. Hey, baby, were booking tickets, were

648
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: about showing up to LA. I mean, I thought for

649
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: sure they will win that game. They win that game. Yeah,

650
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: completely underestimated Joe Burrow and that Cincinnati remembered right right

651
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: before the half set of kicking the field goal Patrick Mahomes,

652
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, coach, I got I got this sure,

653
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, And he created turnover. And those are the

654
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,959
Speaker 1: kind of end game decisions that Mike McCarthy was making

655
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: last year that people were pointing to to say, that's

656
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna get you can if you do that again, you know,

657
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: the fake punts and all of those things that that

658
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: he was like, he had to kind of curtail some

659
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: of those mistakes that he was making end game so

660
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: that those whispers can't go away. But this this roster,

661
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: and you would know. I mean that's why I turn

662
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: you and I asked you, like, is this roster good

663
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: enough to get to in the NFC Championship when you

664
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: because everybody knows AFC dog it's it's gonna be who

665
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: you it's gonna be real. And now it's gonna be

666
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: real the AC. But in the NFC, if you look

667
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: at every team, there are no top teams right now,

668
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: there are no top teams. And so that's what Dallas

669
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: has the most hope that you put in, Like this

670
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: team can make a run and they can get past

671
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the first round. If they don't get past the first round,

672
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: that's where I think you're gonna hear them terms. Last

673
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: year's playoffs showed us we don't know nobody. Nobody thoughts

674
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and the Rams would be sitting up in here,

675
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know doing that one more time? Nobody did nobody?

676
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: Did you know? Third? You know it's a second straight

677
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: year teams played the Super Bowl in their in their

678
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: own building. It won't happen this year. Guarantee that. So

679
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: that that that is what it is. Hey, we gotta

680
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: take our next break. So I'm out Friday because I

681

00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: go ahead and do it, man, not the right one.

684

Speaker 1: Have we been picking up? Have you been keeping up

686
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: with the Thursday pick? I mean Chris Bean took that over?

687
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: Remember that? Did he? Yeah, we're talking about bright. We

688
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: talking about that Christ the button right now? What you

689
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: gotta break? Nobody protects you from mayhem like All State.

690
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,799

691
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,960

743
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,839

744
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: illnesses and they won't tell you if it's COVID or not.

745
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: Right now, they're trying to keep it all under wraps.

00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be close. But I'm gonna

759
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: I think that. I think that Patriots defense is going

760
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: to give Josh Allen some work. They can't turn it over.

761
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: You mess, you fool around and find out some work

762
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: with Belichick. Okay, what you got, Yeah, I'm gonna heck

763
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: on this one. I'm gonna go Patriots twenty seven Bills

764
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: twenty one for like Bill Belichick will kind of keep

765
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: Josh Allen under wraps. And then with that run game,

766
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots got man like they're gonna drain the clock.

767
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: I call it a day. I told you about that

768
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: Pixie does Hey you go, Hey, you go, that Pixy

769
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: dust is coming early game. You last time we saw

770
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, they played a very very gallant game against

771
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings Um on a Thursday night. UM that was

772
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: at twenty It lost thirty three twenty six Thanksgiving night.

773
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: So this is their first game since Thanksgiving. But they

774
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: they fought them pretty well up there. Yeah, they needed

775
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: some saving and in Minnesota, so they played. They've played

776
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: some close football games all year long. When you start

777
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: to look at the look at the team, they're hanging

778
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: around the playoff in the playoffs right now. But you know,

779
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: outside of that Bears beating which they got dismantled thirty

780
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: three to fourteen, they pretty much been in most games

781
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: that they've been in this year. Guys. I got a

782
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: question for y'all and just answer this that how you

783
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: feel it. This team in the playoff house. Does will

784
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: home field advantage or home field matter at all? For

785
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: the guests for the Cowboys? Will that? Will it matter?

786
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: I think it does? You think it does? You think

787
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: they are a team that needs to have a game

788
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: at home or do you think they can go on

789
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: the road. They have the capabilities to win on the

790
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: road because they got a good run game, they got

791
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: a good defense. But I think they want to make

792
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: a long stretch of things. They're gonna need at least

793
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: one maybe two at the crib, you know, I think

794
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: so that means you got. That means you have to

795
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,959
Speaker 1: win on Christmas Eve, right, you got you gotta gotta

796
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: do it and hope you can catch the eels. Yeah,

797
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: but you're thinking new it. Maybe maybe getting out of

798
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: the friendly confines of AT and T Statum will do

799
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: them some good. Maybe you'll do them some good. And

800
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: you look, last year, you got San Francisco in your house.

801
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: You think you want it there, and it didn't. It

802
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: didn't work. So maybe you go on the road and

803
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: your mindset changes. I don't, I don't know. I can't

804
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: call it. I really can't. I mean, you think about

805
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: all the false start penalties and we're talk about the

806
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: other day they've got more penalties at home they do

807
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: on the road. That's true, But twitter losses were away

808
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: and one of them was at you know, home to

809
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks the first game. But I don't know, man,

810
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: I think I think home home for the helm Field

811
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: would definitely do them just and their second to New

812
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: Orleans and scoring at home. I'm since twenty sixteen, so

813
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: the home could they score at home? Track? What did

814
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: you say? The best game they played this year is oh, Minnesota, Minnesota,

815
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, okay, where was that? Come on? Yeah,

816
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: you're right, yes, I was there in Green Bay. That

817
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: was a great crowd, great crowd. Was most watch game

818
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: of the year. And uh they lost that game though.

819
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but but you're in the fourth quarter up fourteen.

820
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: You you did that to you. Okay, you did that

821
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: to you as much as Green you know, as much

822
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: as Aaron Rodgers out did But you did that to you. Um,

823
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: you put them on the road in a playoff atmosphere.

824
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not worried for this football team. They

825
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: didn't go play wasn't like they got blown out I mean,

826
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: they've got up fourteen points in fourth quarter and they

827
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: just stopped playing. They they stopped executing here. So I

828
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: don't think the Cowboys having to go on the road

829
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: for the playoffs is going to be something that you

830
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: just say, oh oh, oh my gosh. Uh, they can't.

831
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: They're not ready here. I like what you're thinking. So

832
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: if you got to go okay, and you think right now,

833
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: so Minnesota, go win that division? Okay, already one Minnesota,

834
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: if you got to go back there, yeah, um, was

835
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: it Seattle right now? Yet Tampa Bay? They can go

836
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: to Seattle, t anybody, and nobody's scared about going to

837
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay right about down? Oh no, man, playoffs, man,

838
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: I just don't want to see this team outdoors lost

839
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: that they just lost the left tackling. I'm telling you

840
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: I would not be that. That doesn't that's that does not.

841
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about where they go, whether it's home

842
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: or away. I just worry about the execution of doing

843
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: your job to win the football game. So, philadelp if

844
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: you have to play Philadelpe, let's greatest case scenario, you

845
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: have to play Philadelphia in January. For let's I don't

846
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: know if it would even come out this way for

847
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: the NFC at the end, for the NFC Championship game.

848
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: I like their chances. I like this. Don't like that

849
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: this team has the defense. This defense can go anywhere

850
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: and play. That's true, but we all know they're one

851
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: Achilles heel. Is it cold weather, is it outdoors? That's

852
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's about It's about running football, okay,

853
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: whether you are, about whether you are home or ray away.

854
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: If you're able to run the cowboy run on the Cowboys,

855
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to beat them. So it doesn't

856
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 1: matter to me where they play. They got to figure

857
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: out how to stop the run against whoever they match

858
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: up against in the playoffs. Hey, it's all the time

859
