Speaker 1: Boys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This
Speaker 1: is the Player's Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World
Speaker 1: Headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCrae,
Speaker 1: Hecma Harrison and new he.
Speaker 2: Scruggs Players Lounge Playoff week right here, We are here
Speaker 2: for you, all right. Heck Ma Harrison is here. Yes,
Speaker 2: Danny McCrae is here. Barry Church will rejoin us later on.
Speaker 3: You come on like Beardy from this is there's no
Speaker 3: way out, look like ball. Yeah, it's just no way,
Speaker 3: little beard. Yeah yeah, yeah, but no, I don't see
Speaker 3: the expensive watches. It definitely ain't. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You got me missed. I appreciate it. Everything ain't what
Speaker 3: it looked like at Walmart. Definitely the show.
Speaker 2: This show is brought to you by two see those
Speaker 2: Cowboys getting ready to take on the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 2: just left the locker room. So guys, we're here talking.
Speaker 2: But I want to start with the topic that I
Speaker 2: know at times you two a little bit sensitive.
Speaker 4: About most sensitive, yes, sensitive topics.
Speaker 2: Sensitive topic here, but I think I think the time
Speaker 2: is going to finally come see the news out of Sea.
Speaker 4: I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. Don't
Speaker 4: do that. Why are you doing that?
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll's not going to coach the Seahawks anymore. First off,
Speaker 2: fantastic run. I think his name will definitely be in
Speaker 2: the room when they discussed whether or not he goes
Speaker 2: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But if you're
Speaker 2: going to replace Pete, what we saw at USC is
Speaker 2: they kept trying to find another peak, which meant you
Speaker 2: tried to find somebody off the tree. Who's the most
Speaker 2: logical guy off the tree, who's been a part of
Speaker 2: a super Bowl team has won there that I think.
Speaker 2: I think, who's from a defensive standpoint that can fit
Speaker 2: in there and take over peak? Go ahead, don't even try,
Speaker 2: don't even try. Know what you're gonna try and do.
Speaker 2: But you know who it is.
Speaker 4: You got a guy. I got a guy.
Speaker 3: You know you got somebody? Is it a short list
Speaker 3: of a long list?
Speaker 4: In fact? Is he around here anywhere? Now?
Speaker 2: Only do I have a guy? I got the guy
Speaker 2: and the guy who can call the place for him.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you this. Okay, the stuff you was
Speaker 3: talking yesterday, I wasn't know. I wasn't on board with
Speaker 3: if I'm looking at it from the perspective of that guy,
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I don't know, because I just I
Speaker 3: just don't see the potential to get to where you
Speaker 3: want to be out there with the charges.
Speaker 4: Now when you start talking about.
Speaker 3: Going back home where you was at, where you want
Speaker 3: a super Bowl and the organization that you know is
Speaker 3: run well because Pete still speech still may be there
Speaker 3: from what I'm hearing all this sort of stuff. Defense,
Speaker 3: that's where you start like that is that that's hard
Speaker 3: for you to decide you want to pass up. You know,
Speaker 3: to me, Gino is a good quarterback, You got some
Speaker 3: receivers over there. Then you then know you're comfortable there
Speaker 3: because the people know you. And I think that is
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. Like where people are familiar with you,
Speaker 3: they understand you, and you know them right because it
Speaker 3: ain't it ain't no secrets, ain't no surprises gonna come
Speaker 3: your way because you are familiar with them and they
Speaker 3: know exactly what you want and you know exactly what
Speaker 3: they want.
Speaker 2: Say the name dan Quinn Okay Cowboys defensive coordinator dan
Speaker 2: Quinn Pete Carroll. After fourteen seasons, ten playoff appearances and
Speaker 2: the franchisees first and only Super Bowl championship is going
Speaker 2: to no longer coach. He's going to become an advisor.
Speaker 2: And to me, if you're going to hire someone and
Speaker 2: to talk about what you said here, who understands their culture,
Speaker 2: who can work with the general manager John Snyder, to me,
Speaker 2: dan Quinn not only fits. And if you're dan Quinn,
Speaker 2: you know Brian Schottenheimer, who right now is the Cowboys
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, but he's not the play caller. You could
Speaker 2: potentially have two people who have a clear understanding of
Speaker 2: what's going on up there now. Schottenheimer left up there
Speaker 2: as the offensive coordinator. Don't know if DQ would bring
Speaker 2: him in, But of all the places where we talk
Speaker 2: about a fit and if dan Quinn is going to go,
Speaker 2: might I think that's where you go?
Speaker 3: And Nuie, I think for even last year, I think
Speaker 3: when you were alluding to his potential for moving out,
Speaker 3: it was because of the success that he's had, not
Speaker 3: only as a coordinator but as a head coach. He's
Speaker 3: gone to a super Bowl, didn't win it, but he's gone,
Speaker 3: and that's an accomplishment all in itself. But that move,
Speaker 3: when I saw that, it has a feel of homegrown,
Speaker 3: our guy, you familiarity. Sometimes the fit can be too good,
Speaker 3: and that's kind of what you feel right now. Look,
Speaker 3: it would suck to see Dan Quinn leave, especially what
Speaker 3: he's brought, but that's how other guys are able to
Speaker 3: be elevated, and that's how other positions open up. And
Speaker 3: so for me, if he can win a super Bowl
Speaker 3: on his way out, thank you.
Speaker 4: Win a super Bowl on your way out.
Speaker 3: But I think when it comes down to jobs in
Speaker 3: the NFL, these are few and far in between. And
Speaker 3: I think you, as you mentioned yesterday about Jerry Jones,
Speaker 3: is not a check that he wouldn't right to keep
Speaker 3: quality guys on staff, but sometimes you can't.
Speaker 4: You can't keep them all, and it's it's it is really.
Speaker 3: The pointing out how good he's been as a coach
Speaker 3: for all these years. This reminds me of of two
Speaker 3: thousand and seven. We were about to play for the
Speaker 3: national championship and we had jimbo Fisher as an offensive coordinator,
Speaker 3: Les Miles as the head coach, and we had Bo
Speaker 3: Polini as the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: And right before.
Speaker 3: That, Bo Polini told us that he was leaving the
Speaker 3: next year, and we did ride out of there with
Speaker 3: the national championship. But both Polini at that time was
Speaker 3: a highly sought out defensive coordinator and that the same
Speaker 3: type of noise was coming, perfect fits and all that stuff,
Speaker 3: And then we found out that Bo Polini was leaving.
Speaker 4: This feels like that, like it's a sad moment.
Speaker 3: But then for me knowing that this is this is
Speaker 3: a perfect fit for the guy, and if it does happen,
Speaker 3: hey man, and this one that you gotta take it.
Speaker 4: I hope he, I hope he. I hope he doesn't
Speaker 4: leave us.
Speaker 3: But I mean he probably stayed longer than he had
Speaker 3: to already.
Speaker 5: Definitely got an extra year.
Speaker 2: But that speaking on what you talk piggyback on what
Speaker 2: you talked about both Polini in Seattle.
Speaker 5: When they ended up winning the first.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, dan Quinn went and took over to the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons, so he got the ring and then he
Speaker 2: was gone. So there is a president of dan Quinn
Speaker 2: being a defensive coordinator, helping lead the team to a
Speaker 2: championship and moving on to become a head coach.
Speaker 5: So that if history repeats itself, obviously help me.
Speaker 4: You'd be happy, absolutely.
Speaker 2: But I just think of what a perfect fit. And
Speaker 2: if I'm the general manager, John Snyder, I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know, all these gms have different coaches they like
Speaker 2: and maybe we want to work with. And it just
Speaker 2: seems to me, if I'm John Snyde, I'd like to
Speaker 2: have a head coach who I can work with, who
Speaker 2: i've i've we've been able to draft together.
Speaker 5: That's a huge part.
Speaker 2: I think that's also kind of what went on in
Speaker 2: Tennessee is the head coach had different ideas about personnel.
Speaker 5: This could fit, this could fit, could be the perfect time.
Speaker 2: So if the Cowboys lose Dan Quinn, he goes to Seattle,
Speaker 2: Hey man, thank you DQ for what you've done here.
Speaker 2: And now Jerry's got a very very important decision about
Speaker 2: what he does in terms of who's your next defensive coordinator?
Speaker 2: Do you promote from within? Do you have him take
Speaker 2: over or does Joe go with DQ two exactly? And
Speaker 2: how many other people go with DQ? Just eight and
Speaker 2: dirty your defensive line coaches? He go up to Seattle
Speaker 2: with DQ. So that's going to be a very interesting
Speaker 2: thing if and we're speculating at this point, but I
Speaker 2: think we all agree. If you're an NFL team, right
Speaker 2: now dan Quinn should be on your listen, should be
Speaker 2: a guy you want to hire just based on what
Speaker 2: you've seen here with the Cowboys. But don't forget this
Speaker 2: is a guy who, by all accounts should have had
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl win.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and man, what he was a half away, one
Speaker 3: half away from two by like seven minutes, seven minutes away. Okay,
Speaker 3: give us seven minutes away from being the Super Bowl champ.
Speaker 3: But we've talked about quarterbacks and being them being the
Speaker 3: difference at getting you to a championship. And we also
Speaker 3: have to include head coach as well with Mike when
Speaker 3: we see the job like guys like Mike Tumblin, guys
Speaker 3: that's been around that's never had a losing records as
Speaker 3: a head coach, and you see his brand, his pedigree
Speaker 3: of coaching, and the way that he imprints on teams.
Speaker 3: We've seen this just in three years with dan Quinn,
Speaker 3: what he's done to this defense and the way that
Speaker 3: these guys have bought into him. And so every time
Speaker 3: he takes the podium, every time he talks, he talks
Speaker 3: like somebody, You're like, man, I want more of that.
Speaker 3: I want to hear more of that, And so I
Speaker 3: think it's it's only a natural fit for dan Quinn
Speaker 3: if we lose him in this situation. Man, I'm telling you,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be sad because this is one of those
Speaker 3: jobs that opened up. He's like, as soon as I
Speaker 3: saw it, the first name I thought about was dan Quinn.
Speaker 4: There it is right there.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's across the NFL all everybody
Speaker 3: when they saw that Pete Carroll wasn't coming back that
Speaker 3: the first name that probably popped up was dan Quinn
Speaker 3: because dan Quinn has been doing hester interviews for the
Speaker 3: last couple of years. And like you said, this guy
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator super Bowl, goes to Atlanta, takes over as
Speaker 3: a head coach and it's this close to winning the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl comes here and it's totally changed the culture
Speaker 3: here along with Mike McCarthy, but defensively has changed the
Speaker 3: culture here with how these guys are playing on the defense. So,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just hard for you not it's hard
Speaker 3: for me to say, all right, go ahead and go
Speaker 3: but we like, we know we understand because you remember,
Speaker 3: but you understand what you remember, Danny. You remember historically
Speaker 3: bad Oh yeah, okay, you remember historically bad defense and
Speaker 3: what they were not. We complained about the run defense,
Speaker 3: but it was nothing in compared to what the run deep.
Speaker 3: I mean, we were not getting any turnovers before he
Speaker 3: came in and just completely flip flopped that. I'm almost
Speaker 3: I'm okay with the run defense. Now, I'm good enough,
Speaker 3: good enough, Yeah, yeah, put him in. It's good enough.
Speaker 3: All right, listen, that's what it takes.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm all right.
Speaker 2: Come on, dan Quinn left it better than I found it, and.
Speaker 4: He ain't left nothing. How far this times can I say?
Speaker 2: If they don't hire him, they're crazy.
Speaker 5: All right, that's just me right now.
Speaker 2: If Seattle doesn't go get dan Quinn, they're crazy because
Speaker 2: there's so many just parallel for what is Pete Carroll
Speaker 2: defensive guy? What else is Peak Carroll high energy guy
Speaker 2: that inspires people? This dude is this is the guy.
Speaker 2: He was a part of what Pete Carroll was doing.
Speaker 2: You can keep it. In terms of my opinion that
Speaker 2: that kind of what's Pete's built, you can keep that going.
Speaker 2: I think they built a good program there. Of course,
Speaker 2: that's a good program. And to me, I liked If
Speaker 2: I'm the owner and the general manager, I'd like to
Speaker 2: keep this type of thing going. We've got another voice.
Speaker 2: We got a guy who, so, by the way, has
Speaker 2: something to prove. That's what I would want. If they
Speaker 2: don't do it, I mean, tell me who rolls up in.
Speaker 3: But the fact that he's still here, this man, just
Speaker 3: say he left it better than he found it.
Speaker 4: He's still here, he still he's still morning.
Speaker 2: He's got work to do at this point in time.
Speaker 2: Since he's gotten here, he's left it better than he's
Speaker 2: found it.
Speaker 3: I can still say that, No, no, you're not the
Speaker 3: parts words. He hasn't left anything, So he hasn't left
Speaker 3: stand it better. You can only say he left it
Speaker 3: better than he found it. If he's gone, he's still here.
Speaker 3: He's making it. He's still continuing to make it better
Speaker 3: than he found it.
Speaker 5: Is still here, by the way.
Speaker 2: This according to Tom Pella Cero and a social media
Speaker 2: post the Titans requested to interview Cowboys defensive coinner Dan
Speaker 2: Quinn for their head coaching job. There are logical connections
Speaker 2: to Seattle with that job opening, but don't assume that's
Speaker 2: where he had strong interest elsewhere with four requests and canting.
Speaker 5: So that's from Todd those.
Speaker 3: I think it's really up to him. Like all those
Speaker 3: requests that he's getting, it's up to him. They're gonna
Speaker 3: leave it up to him to decide, kind of almost
Speaker 3: like free agency, like which one who's coming. They're like
Speaker 3: courting the guy because it's hard for you to sit there.
Speaker 3: I can I can't imagine them taking an interview with
Speaker 3: a guy like dan Quinn and then walking out of
Speaker 3: the room and being like, that's not it.
Speaker 4: He's not. Yeah, that's not he's not. He's not.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that happened. You know what this is
Speaker 3: side note? Are y'all watching the Miami Dolphins in season
Speaker 3: things now?
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 3: I know leader leaders of men are different and all
Speaker 3: that stuff. I'm still trying to trying to figure out
Speaker 3: the whole McDaniel's thing. He's different, he's got his quirks,
Speaker 3: he's a I know, I'm trying not to sound old
Speaker 3: school myself, but I'm.
Speaker 4: Like, what what you got school?
Speaker 5: No, you guy?
Speaker 4: You know, that's just we need under brother lives in
Speaker 4: nice story.
Speaker 3: The story, you know, the story is great and all
Speaker 3: that stuff, But you know, I'm just I'm thinking about
Speaker 3: a guy like dan Quinn walking in the room and
Speaker 3: doing an interview and somebody said you not the guy,
Speaker 3: and then you know, but look this is the guy.
Speaker 2: But look at what it came down to. Remember the
Speaker 2: top top two finalists were for that job. It was
Speaker 2: Undercovered brother and Kelly Fred who you taking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made the right decision, made the right choice,
Speaker 3: so they did. But Kellen did an interview for the
Speaker 3: head coach job up there at the Charges though. Let
Speaker 3: him get it, let him get you and go get it.
Speaker 4: Let him get it.
Speaker 2: If first off, Jim Harball is what they need. Just
Speaker 2: based on my time of living and working in Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: this is a franchise.
Speaker 5: Take they don't care that they're there. They don't. It's
Speaker 5: like the Clippers.
Speaker 2: You're here, and people go to the games to see
Speaker 2: the other team more so than they go to see you.
Speaker 2: So they need some credibility. Jim Harball would give you
Speaker 2: that credibility the people.
Speaker 5: Oh, let's go on out there.
Speaker 2: Because when I worked there, this was always a challenge
Speaker 2: you had. You only have so many resources. Hey do
Speaker 2: we go out to Chargers practice? They nah, go out
Speaker 2: to the Rams, or you go to Lakers. I mean
Speaker 2: there's so many options you have. They're not the option
Speaker 2: where you think of, hey, man, let's go down there.
Speaker 2: I mean, so many times we didn't go to cover
Speaker 2: the Angels. Now the Yankees came to town, Oh let's
Speaker 2: go and cover them. And so to me, if you're
Speaker 2: the Spanos family, you not only have a quarterback you
Speaker 2: think has the potential to be a really good player,
Speaker 2: but you have people don't care and if.
Speaker 5: You're not into the whole business aspect of it.
Speaker 2: Krankey, the owner of the Rams own so far the
Speaker 2: Rams are his tenant, and when he decided he didn't
Speaker 2: want the Raiders and he wanted the Chargers. The Chargers
Speaker 2: are supposed to sell a certain amount of seasoned tickets
Speaker 2: and PSLs. They ain't done it. People are don't trying
Speaker 2: to buy them. They are kind of looked at as
Speaker 2: not a good tenant. I mean, bring somebody up in here.
Speaker 5: This is their opportunity to actually sell them product to people.
Speaker 2: Because Jim Harball would make you want to go cover them,
Speaker 2: and that's an issue.
Speaker 4: How do you get people of covers here.
Speaker 3: Here's my thing with going back to what you were
Speaker 3: talking about about Mike McDaniels and even to Harball, there's
Speaker 3: this generational gap in coaching, and for my look, I
Speaker 3: interview a lot of coaches in what I do man,
Speaker 3: and you find out that there's a there's a new
Speaker 3: guard that's coming that understands the social media aids, that
Speaker 3: understand things that trending, and they are able to connect
Speaker 3: easily with the players versus the more old school, more rigid,
Speaker 3: more iron fist kind of guys. It's changing and you're
Speaker 3: starting to see, I mean, and the ones that are
Speaker 3: not able to evolve are absolutely relics of themselves. At
Speaker 3: the end of the day, I think what I am
Speaker 3: impressed about with a guy like Dan Quinn is he
Speaker 3: reinvented himself after one of an astronaut like a bad
Speaker 3: loss in front of everybody saw him lose that game,
Speaker 3: but yet he's still keptain stride and still has reinvented
Speaker 3: himself here with the Cowboys as a defensive coordinator Jim
Speaker 3: Harbar as well, after what happened with him in San Francisco,
Speaker 3: losing the Super Bowl the way that he did, the
Speaker 3: whole the lights went out, the light the lights went out,
Speaker 3: but also just the controversy that was having, the controversy
Speaker 3: surrounding that team. He's been able to go to the
Speaker 3: college bar again. Look finally beat Ohio and now looking
Speaker 3: where he is at Ohio State, and finally win him
Speaker 3: a national championship.
Speaker 4: But I think a lot of these a lot of.
Speaker 3: These coaches, a lot of these organizations are looking for
Speaker 3: the what's fresh, the new guy that can connect not
Speaker 3: only with the players, but can connect to a new
Speaker 3: fan base. So it's important to get a guy that
Speaker 3: can make those connections. And I know Dan Quinn is
Speaker 3: easily that guy.
Speaker 5: And Jim's a former charge of player.
Speaker 2: And to me, you go and you look at how
Speaker 2: college football nine years, how it changed all of a
Speaker 2: sudden while you're coaching, here comes Nil and he recruited.
Speaker 2: Well remember taking those videos like here's taking.
Speaker 4: Him over the room?
Speaker 2: I mean I thought, I thought Jim did a very
Speaker 2: good job of connecting with the young people. I just
Speaker 2: know he's not going back after two suspensions and a
Speaker 2: possible another investigation going, he's as hot as he's ever been.
Speaker 5: You've done the job, man.
Speaker 2: You get out of that thing, and you don't have
Speaker 2: to do any more recruiting anymore.
Speaker 3: N I l You guys gonna have a pick of
Speaker 3: a litter that that port gonna be jumping from the man.
Speaker 5: How did they get his hire his old.
Speaker 4: Boy, you know, dude jumping crazy?
Speaker 2: All right, we can't take a break a little bit
Speaker 2: late here Cowboys taking on the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, you god damn Quinn out of here with golly.
Speaker 5: Hey baby, I'm trying to I'm about what's.
Speaker 4: Next the game. That's what's next with he's coordinator, you.
Speaker 5: Know what for DQ to do what he didn't see.
Speaker 5: I'll go out on top.

Speaker 2: we've got Danny mcrag here. I'm new it scrugs. The
Speaker 2: Cowboys will wear their white jerseys in this game. Packers
Speaker 2: are gonna be wearing green. Green Bay has won the
Speaker 2: last two postseason meetings against the Cowboys, and in those
Speaker 2: two meetings they were coached by Mizike Mike McCarthy. By
Speaker 2: the way, McCarthy's got a postseason record of eleven and ten.
Speaker 5: Heckman, you spoke about Cede Lamb CD. Lamb led the
Speaker 5: NFL with six hundred and eighty yards after the catch
Speaker 5: this year.
Speaker 2: The Packers defensive loud the ninth fewest yards after the
Speaker 2: catch of this season. Last year, in the Division Round
Speaker 2: San Francisco, ceed Lamb caught ten balls four one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventeen yards ten receptions, tied for third most and
Speaker 2: cow Boys history. Here and another note on ceed Lamb
Speaker 2: for this regular season, leading all receivers and targets one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one receptions, one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 2: yards after the catch, six eighty scrimmage yards one eight
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two overall touchdowns fourteen twenty plus yard
Speaker 2: receptions twenty nine and ranked second in receiving yards one thousand,
Speaker 2: seven hundred and forty nine. Seems to me like Joe Barry,
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator with the Packers, better go.
Speaker 3: Double look ceed Lamb is bald now about to say
Speaker 3: mcaff no, he talking about you.
Speaker 4: After you read it out loud, I was like, where shut? Yes,
Speaker 4: he is a hell of a season. That's the hell
Speaker 4: of a slow start.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, four games fifty yards each, and I think
Speaker 3: he is now he is now just emerged as that
Speaker 3: guy that when you look amongst those Randy Moss hype performances,
Speaker 3: you look at those the old school Michael Irvin performance.
Speaker 3: He's wearing the eighty eight, of course, but those are
Speaker 3: the type of performances that we've been looking for for
Speaker 3: CD Lamb. If you're gonna be a number one receiver,
Speaker 3: if you look around the league and you look at
Speaker 3: guys like Jay Jettis, you look at Chase, you know,
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase. These guys are showing their tail on Sunday,
Speaker 3: you know, and it's I don't care if you're double team,
Speaker 3: if you triple team, and what they're gonna do. They're
Speaker 3: gonna find a way to get their playmakers to ball
Speaker 3: in this game. And you talk about the job that
Speaker 3: the Green Bay package does allowing the ninth least amount
Speaker 3: of yards out to catch. I'm okay with that because
Speaker 3: I know, I know for sure that they're gonna have
Speaker 3: to find a way to stop CD Lamb. But they
Speaker 3: can't take away all of our weapons. And so to me,
Speaker 3: that says that another playmaker has to emerge. And I
Speaker 3: got my and I got my eyes. I got my
Speaker 3: eyes on Fergus, don't do that. What do you mean
Speaker 3: we only got we got three, all right, because we
Speaker 3: got Cooks. I want to see Ferd. I want to
Speaker 3: see CD Lamb in the passing game, like that's one
Speaker 3: of those weaponses. Like I said, I think we talked
Speaker 3: about when we start going away from those guys, it
Speaker 3: starts to look a little shaky on our offense and
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you know, third and whatever, and
Speaker 3: then you pun the football. Give it to the guys
Speaker 3: who have been making sure that you are successful throughout
Speaker 3: the season, which is Ceedee Lamb. Brandon Cooks. When you
Speaker 3: throw it to him, he's gonna catch it. And a
Speaker 3: lot of times, a lot of times with a touchdown
Speaker 3: and Ferguson, who is your tone setter on offense when
Speaker 3: it comes to physicality. And oh yeah, by the way,
Speaker 3: Tony Poler, who I said is going to have a
Speaker 3: seventy five yard rushing game with thirty yards receiving, it's
Speaker 3: still on your squad. And he had a nice rushing
Speaker 3: game last week to get him started that confidence booster. Right,
Speaker 3: you should be healthy on your offensive line this week
Speaker 3: hopefully so that I think that's what you have to do.
Speaker 3: Like we want to establish the run game, but don't
Speaker 3: go away from CD because we're passing team. And Ceedee
Speaker 3: Lamb is our guy. And I'm not saying in no
Speaker 3: way in my saying go away from Cede Lamb. I
Speaker 3: just know that when you go to talk about this
Speaker 3: this offensive this chie the defensive coordinator for Green Bay.
Speaker 3: Him and Mike McCarthy have history with one another. He
Speaker 3: was the two thousand and seven he was the defensive
Speaker 3: coordinator for the Lions. Rob Marinelli was the head coach
Speaker 3: of that Lions team. And he put up, yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 3: go ahead, Joe shut everybody down. Joe Barry put some
Speaker 3: respect on his name. Joe Barry in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: In two thousand and eight, every time Mike McCarthy saw
Speaker 3: him on the other side and everybody else they put
Speaker 3: that work work.
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see Joe Barry another opportunity.
Speaker 4: He got a special note. He already he already know
Speaker 4: Joe Barry.
Speaker 3: You know. So I think that with all of that
Speaker 3: again new and you a mess man, I think you.
Speaker 3: I'm with force feed CD, but only to a point
Speaker 3: and then allow your tight ends and allow guys like
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks to do that thing.
Speaker 2: Unasked about CD and McCarthy. Who's the play call of
Speaker 2: this year, A guy we all respect very much who
Speaker 2: played for Mike McCarthy, had a lot of good years.
Speaker 5: Davanta Adams.
Speaker 2: Does just remind you of when we saw Davonte Adams
Speaker 2: really getting after it in Green Bay being that guy,
Speaker 2: and there were times where you kind of looked around,
Speaker 2: like it's Davante, we really don't know who else is there,
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers was just finding him and he was
Speaker 2: out there balling. Do you feel like CD is now
Speaker 2: in that kind of realm?
Speaker 3: I do, I do, but I think it looks different
Speaker 3: because I think a lot of times you will see
Speaker 3: Davonta Adams with that it will be a run play
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers to look up see that they was playing
Speaker 3: off and he had just tossed us to Devontae Adams
Speaker 3: and he'd have teen catches just off that with a
Speaker 3: hundred yards. I think CD Lamb is running running routes.
Speaker 3: You don't see him getting a lot of those opportunities.
Speaker 3: But you also see him in the backfield as well.
Speaker 3: So I think the talent there is a little different,
Speaker 3: and Mike McCarthy is founding the best way to utilize
Speaker 3: every single talent that the CD LAMB has.
Speaker 5: So heck, then then let me see if I can
Speaker 5: take it in this ankle.
Speaker 2: Heck, we saw Mike get a lot out of Adams
Speaker 2: making him his number one. We saw Jordy Nelson as
Speaker 2: his number one, putting up some numbers.
Speaker 5: We saw Greg.
Speaker 2: Jennings over there, James Jones, We saw Donald Driver as
Speaker 2: that one guy, those guys that get fit. Do you
Speaker 2: now feel like this is like the next iteration for
Speaker 2: McCarthy in terms of that number one.
Speaker 3: Guy automatically automatically, And I think what I think it's taken,
Speaker 3: And it was maybe by the fifth game, you saw
Speaker 3: Dak say, this is my least path of resistance is
Speaker 3: getting the ball to eighty eight. This is the easiest
Speaker 3: way to do it. Let's forget all the other equations.
Speaker 3: If I can get him the ball, he's gonna give
Speaker 3: me yards after catch, and he's also going to move
Speaker 3: the chains. And that's I love Dak's willingness to say,
Speaker 3: I'm going to change my whole game to make sure
Speaker 3: I fit this in with this guy, because now everybody's
Speaker 3: talking about Film as a dynamic duo. Before you were
Speaker 3: you weren't talking about them as a duo. Now it's
Speaker 3: Dak in CD. But you're right, it's just it's just
Speaker 3: a continuation of what Mike has done as an offensive coordinator,
Speaker 3: making sure that he gets his best player as the ball, which.
Speaker 4: Is this is why he's so confusing what Kellen Moore
Speaker 4: was doing last year.
Speaker 3: You got the guy on the roster. Ye had two
Speaker 3: of the guys on the roster at one time and
Speaker 3: couldn't figure out a way to get it. I think
Speaker 3: that is the big difference from Kellen Moore to Mike
Speaker 3: McCarthy is, hey, man, what are we good at?
Speaker 4: Who are our players?
Speaker 3: That we need to make sure we get the football too,
Speaker 3: and I think Ceedee Lamb emerged, especially after he did
Speaker 3: what he did and made sure that coach knew that.
Speaker 4: He wanted the football.
Speaker 3: And ever since then, he's been getting the football and
Speaker 3: he's been showing that I deserve it because he all
Speaker 3: he done is is make plays throughout the whole season.
Speaker 2: What you said there, and let's just just be straight up,
Speaker 2: this isn't damning. This is just pure facts. Kellen Moore
Speaker 2: left the building. Mike McCarthy said, I need to take
Speaker 2: over the play calling. Sheety Lamb is the second best
Speaker 2: receiver in that football league, Tyreek Hill, and what he's
Speaker 2: done this year is going to be he'll be All Pro,
Speaker 2: and then it's going to be Cde Lamb. I was
Speaker 2: looking at somebody's offensive Player of the Year ballot and
Speaker 2: they had CD number three. Wow, it was Hill McCaffrey
Speaker 2: than CD Lamb. So Kellen goes out of the building
Speaker 2: and this is what Mike has done with CD Lamb.
Speaker 2: And then here's Dak Prescott who's going to finish top three,
Speaker 2: if not no less than top five in the MVP voting.
Speaker 2: That's where I go back to about Kellen Moore and
Speaker 2: why I was not one of those people standing up like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is not riding with no Kellen Moore. There were
Speaker 2: too many times we were scratching our heads, Danny, and
Speaker 2: this is why we were scratching our heads. These guys
Speaker 2: had more that you could unlock, and it took McCarthy
Speaker 2: to find it. And the cowboys basically made Mike McCarthy
Speaker 2: take Kellen Moore from the time he got this job here.
Speaker 3: And but during that time that this is kind of
Speaker 3: remember because I don't want to be a revisionist history person.
Speaker 3: I want to go back to when Kellen came on
Speaker 3: as the OC, that that was the wave then that
Speaker 3: you hired these young guys and it was surprised that
Speaker 3: he didn't get the head coach McVeigh. And it was
Speaker 3: a young wave of coaches that were starting to come on,
Speaker 3: and I think automatically you were looking Jerry was looking
Speaker 3: for something new and fresh. The offenses in the NFL
Speaker 3: had completely opened up five wide, you know, Baby, you
Speaker 3: were seeing offensive formations that you hadn't seen before, and
Speaker 3: they gave they put the gas in that engine to
Speaker 3: make him run that way, not saying that Mike, and
Speaker 3: Mike didn't approve of it. And everything that you're saying,
Speaker 3: Danny about the way that he coordinated that.
Speaker 4: Offense is true.
Speaker 3: I think that he missed certain points of having making
Speaker 3: his playmakers the playmakers. This is the best version of
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott that I think I've seen, as far as
Speaker 3: the waves.
Speaker 5: Hands down, the statistics say so, it's a hands down the.
Speaker 3: Best version of him than I've seen. And I think
Speaker 3: all of that is due to his relationship with Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 4: But where was that three years ago?
Speaker 3: Was Kellen Moore that much of a detern between head
Speaker 3: coaching quarterback. Well, when you have a young and up
Speaker 3: and coming guy, you want to make sure that you
Speaker 3: don't you don't get in the way, is what I
Speaker 3: assume Mike McCarthy was doing. But I'm looking at and
Speaker 3: I said this every time that a guy had a
Speaker 3: season like that, when a Mark Cooper had to get
Speaker 3: up out of here, and I know there were other
Speaker 3: things going on, but before that, I don't think he
Speaker 3: was being utilized correctly. And then you see him go
Speaker 3: to Cleveland and him being utilized correctly with lesser quarterbacks
Speaker 3: and still putting up astronomical numbers, and I'm looking at it,
Speaker 3: I'm saying, if I'm a Mark Cooper, I'm.
Speaker 4: Upset with Keller Moore.
Speaker 3: And then for whatever people want to say about Zeke,
Speaker 3: Zeke looked different this year with New England. He looked
Speaker 3: different than he looked here when he was with New England.
Speaker 3: And we couldn't find a way to do anything except
Speaker 3: run him up behind the tackle and get two or
Speaker 3: three yards and have him.
Speaker 4: Pass block between the garden center.
Speaker 3: Like when Zeke left here, we were like, oh man,
Speaker 3: dude lost a whole bunch of steps. Where people were
Speaker 3: saying that lost a whole bunch of steps. Not the
Speaker 3: same in the pass again, all that stuff. He go
Speaker 3: out there with Matt Jones, take Stevenson spot once once
Speaker 3: he goes down, and they never look back because Zeke
Speaker 3: is out there getting you know what I'm saying, putting
Speaker 3: up numbers. So to me, you're not. He wasn't able
Speaker 3: to utilize his players in the right way. Now he
Speaker 3: did better with Keenan Allen finally when they got out there,
Speaker 3: but here I didn't. I didn't see it. So shout
Speaker 3: out the big bike, Ceedee Lamb. Brandon Cooks uh, still
Speaker 3: fingering Tony Pollard out, but I think I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna get there in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: So Mike's right.
Speaker 5: Mike was right. And what's what's kind of wild is
Speaker 5: if he was just say, if.
Speaker 2: He was just a coordinator right now, people will be
Speaker 2: lining up to bring him in as a head coach.
Speaker 2: You know this Bobby slow Wick, guy Ben Johnson, you
Speaker 2: know these offensive corneria Houston and Detroit, and these guys
Speaker 2: are getting jobs like, oh, look at this guy here.
Speaker 2: What Mike did hear and making taking these players to
Speaker 2: another level they haven't been before. I don't think we're
Speaker 2: talking about it enough. I really don't, because he's the
Speaker 2: head coach and people are like, well, what haven't you
Speaker 2: won here before? What he did in his year here,
Speaker 2: And we're not even talking about the full season because
Speaker 2: the first five games here they were still trying to
Speaker 2: figure it out. He just spoke about he was trying
Speaker 2: to get back in the rhythm and they were trying
Speaker 2: to figureut this thing out. This thing is, this thing
Speaker 2: is as good as we've seen it here in.
Speaker 5: A good decade or so.
Speaker 3: Mike, Mike doesn't get the credit that he deserves, and
Speaker 3: we know, I think we all know why he does it,
Speaker 3: and that's why we're having to entertain foolish questions about
Speaker 3: whether he's going to be back. Well, that's because right
Speaker 3: and I know it's coming. Went out there do that bomb,
Speaker 3: And when we were off, I wanted to come here
Speaker 3: and say, hey, I know we always talking about everybody
Speaker 3: want to talk about the Cowboys all that stuff.
Speaker 4: There's a reason. There is a reason getting ahead, Like.
Speaker 3: You can'tnot wake up in the morning to be like,
Speaker 3: we gotta talk about this game by game, game by
Speaker 3: game talking about the game, and it's just it's those
Speaker 3: little nuggets that the media goes in and they try
Speaker 3: and decode and speak Jerry, I just look, here's the
Speaker 3: thing for me, especially going into a game like this
Speaker 3: versus Green Bay, all of that experience that you have
Speaker 3: with at the Helm as your head coach has got
Speaker 3: to mean something for you.
Speaker 4: He's been there, he's done that.
Speaker 3: You think about his you just talked about his playoff record,
Speaker 3: you talked about him in the NFC Championship Divisional rounds,
Speaker 3: all of those things. Mike is a proven winner. And
Speaker 3: so when I think about going into a game like this,
Speaker 3: I'm going to rely heavily on that experience because he
Speaker 3: has to get these guys ready, because he's been there before.

Speaker 4: How many? How many read throughs did you do? I
Speaker 4: want to take care now I'm saying, Douglas right there.
Speaker 5: You need more baby recordings.
Speaker 4: Listen, I know I go in there. Do it take
Speaker 4: me both five times?
Speaker 3: Know?
Speaker 4: How long to read is?
Speaker 5: I saw?
Speaker 4: I was like you pronounced this camp and then we
Speaker 4: look at you and he just read it like like
Speaker 4: he just memorized.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are now playing in their fourteenth file card game. Guys,
Speaker 2: they've got an eight and six record. Uh, it's been
Speaker 2: a challenge against these Green Bay Packers. So here they
Speaker 2: are lost their last two. That was the des caught
Speaker 2: it game and the air Rodgers killed everybody game.
Speaker 5: The rookie year.
Speaker 3: That was.
Speaker 4: That was the throw.
Speaker 5: Now, I was there on the sideline. I was there
Speaker 5: on the sideline when Cook caught it.
Speaker 4: Jared Cook like, my gosh, Aaron Rodgers smirk.
Speaker 2: Then you know Mason Crosby came out there and finished
Speaker 2: a job. But hey, Mike McCarthy was the head coach
Speaker 2: of those teams. Now it's Matt Lafleur, and I asked
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks basically about the pressure. How do you keep
Speaker 2: these guys relaxed for the stamp with the pressures on
Speaker 2: you Green Bay, don't they're playing.
Speaker 4: With house money.
Speaker 5: Cooks was like, no, we'll be fine, but you would.
Speaker 2: I all know that building is gonna get tight if
Speaker 2: this game is close, it's gonna get tight because cowboy
Speaker 2: fan is now conditioned to say, man, there it goes again.
Speaker 2: And I remember Jimmy Johnson when he coach here you were,
Speaker 2: you'll remember this. But back with Jimmy John's like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: you thought here it goes again. Well it didn't happen.
Speaker 2: It didn't happen. It wasn't here it goes again. You
Speaker 2: went and you took it.
Speaker 5: That's what this team needs.
Speaker 2: And I go back to last year's game of Tampa
Speaker 2: in the playoffs when I was down there. They had
Speaker 2: a mission of no, man, that San Francisco thing is,
Speaker 2: we want to erase it. And they went out there
Speaker 2: from jump and just took it from Tampa Bay. I
Speaker 2: think that's what we need to see again here.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, fose Tampa's record I don't recall, but
Speaker 3: it was like it was no, no, no they had
Speaker 3: it was no, they were not and eight maybe yeah,
Speaker 3: they was close, were good. It was it was the
Speaker 3: NFC South them.
Speaker 5: Good enough to be then in the regular season that
Speaker 5: they beating the year before too.
Speaker 4: They weren't that good of a team.
Speaker 5: You know what we can all right, So here's my thing.
Speaker 2: I hear what you were saying that they weren't that good,
Speaker 2: especially the end of the year where they were, but
Speaker 2: this was still a cowboy team that had never beaten
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, and he found ways to beat them two
Speaker 2: previous times.
Speaker 3: My point is, they weren't that good of a team,
Speaker 3: and I don't expect that we that we assume that
Speaker 3: green Bay should be giving us that much of a
Speaker 3: challenge here at home. So the credit that we would
Speaker 3: get for beating green Bay is not going to be
Speaker 3: as much as if we were beating a San Francisco
Speaker 3: or any of those other teams.
Speaker 2: Of course, but you know that it may say, so
Speaker 2: you're the number two seed, you're getting the seven seed
Speaker 2: in here, you get basically you get no credit for
Speaker 2: the win.
Speaker 5: It's an expectation, but that's but that they know what
Speaker 5: they've signed up.
Speaker 4: No, but that is so so so so.
Speaker 3: Who's been our Achilles Hill for the last two seasons
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, So we all know that the expectation
Speaker 3: and as of today, since that you're probably going to
Speaker 3: have to go to San Francisco, yes, and beat them,
Speaker 3: So that that is the expectation. Everything else is, hey man,
Speaker 3: we got to go out here and handle our business
Speaker 3: and beat the teams that we know we should beat,
Speaker 3: and then once we get to that big time game,
Speaker 3: then that's when the fight really starts. But we need
Speaker 3: to handle our business to get there, and the Green
Speaker 3: Bay Package are just a team.
Speaker 5: Wrap it up.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you know.
Speaker 3: My my hate and disdain for the media that covers
Speaker 3: our team is that they are always trying to spread fear.
Speaker 3: They always want us to give us something to be
Speaker 3: afraid of or you only be You can't beat playoff
Speaker 3: teams or teams above five hundred, You can't win on
Speaker 3: the road.
Speaker 4: You can't do this now, looking Brandy can't cook you miss.
Speaker 3: It's always this fear factor to oh if if Mike
Speaker 3: McCarthy loses, he's out of here. This all of this
Speaker 3: when at a certain point you have to say the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys are a damn good team.
Speaker 4: When does that ever come up? When does that?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not and I'm not talking about YouTube personally.
Speaker 3: When do you say the Dallas Cowboys are a good team?
Speaker 3: Because right now, when you say all the Green Bay
Speaker 3: packages playing with how money? Yeah, Oh, they're just coming
Speaker 3: here on school buses and you know Chick fil A
Speaker 3: is gonna cater it for them. I mean, and next thing,
Speaker 3: you know, a football team, a football game is gonna
Speaker 3: break out of three, you know, and they.
Speaker 4: Got every chance in the world to win, and know
Speaker 4: they don't.
Speaker 3: Man, what do we We come in there and we
Speaker 3: kick they come on, Now, this is this is our
Speaker 3: opportunity to put our domination down because at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, You're right, none of this matters. The
Speaker 3: only thing that matters is beating San Francisco. But its
Speaker 3: steps to get there, and they have to win their
Speaker 3: games to get there. But nobody says it the way
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be said. Man, the Cowboys a damn
Speaker 3: good team. And the team that just snuck into the playoffs,
Speaker 3: Damn they drew the best match the matchup that could
Speaker 3: really get them. That's a one in one and done
Speaker 3: for them because they drew the Cowboys. I think I
Speaker 3: think it's fair to say that the history of the
Speaker 3: Cowboys is why people feel that way, right, trust, So
Speaker 3: people say that the Cowboys are a really good team,
Speaker 3: but somehow when they get to the big moment, they
Speaker 3: find a way to mess up. Like that is the
Speaker 3: thing of like, hey man, they're gonna be a really
Speaker 3: good team and then they may not show up at
Speaker 3: a certain time to make sure it happens.
Speaker 4: Tony ro.
Speaker 3: So, I don't think it's twenty twenty. It's twenty seven
Speaker 3: years now and it's twenty twenty four. When do we
Speaker 3: not When can we stop living under the umbrella? When
Speaker 3: do we get that? So when we beat San Francisco,
Speaker 3: we beat San Francisco, go to the super Bowl? Went whatever,
Speaker 3: we go to the super Bowl?
Speaker 4: Is that the end of it?
Speaker 3: Do you stop saying it? Then twenty seven years later?
Speaker 3: Like yes, if you go another twenty seven the then
Speaker 3: it rises back up. But yes, until you get it.
Speaker 3: Don't even have to be Super Bowls, NFC champions because
Speaker 3: they're not selling me that my team is good. They're
Speaker 3: not selling me on my offense being good, that my quarterback,
Speaker 3: and my receivers are good. I'm just what they're saying,
Speaker 3: is man, Jordan Love's gonna come in last six games
Speaker 3: that he's played. I mean, look at the games you playing,
Speaker 3: the yards, just putting. But everybody said this has been
Speaker 3: Dak Prescotts season. I'm not personally talking about you, Danny.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about those that cover the team, that have
Speaker 3: words to say that this isn't the best team that's
Speaker 3: in the NFC Championship, that's in the NFC playoff race. Hey,
Speaker 3: then and San Francisco are the two teams that everybody's
Speaker 3: expecting to meet in the in the NFC Championship. Is
Speaker 3: that what people are saying, That's what they should be saying.
Speaker 3: I think they are, though, well or not.
Speaker 5: Why are the expectations high for this team?
Speaker 4: Why aren't they they are high for this team? How okay?
Speaker 3: If you're telling me, if man, chances are the Green
Speaker 3: Bay could come in here and they could beat the
Speaker 3: Cowboys because they're playing with house money. There's no pressure
Speaker 3: on them. No, no, no, we say that every week. Though, Well,
Speaker 3: I know you're not talking about us, So I got,
Speaker 3: I got.
Speaker 2: So this is a just two years ago when they
Speaker 2: had they won the NFC East and you had San
Speaker 2: Francisco at home, and I remember distinctly, Dan he talked about, Man,
Speaker 2: this is a matchup where week a style matchup that
Speaker 2: is not good for us.
Speaker 5: And what happened. They lost. So we've seen the Cowboys
Speaker 5: go into these games and let you down.
Speaker 2: This is it, which about twenty you're this club is
Speaker 2: paying for the sins of other people. But that's a
Speaker 2: part of it. I go back to this, and you
Speaker 2: know it very well because of your your great uncle
Speaker 2: Joe Green. Before they ended up winning that Super Bowl
Speaker 2: under Bill cal those guys were talking about, Man, we
Speaker 2: hate every time these old dudes show up, man, because
Speaker 2: you know, everybody just remind us of what we haven't done,
Speaker 2: and we're not there, and you're not there. This is
Speaker 2: what happens when you play for a legendary franchise. People
Speaker 2: want you to get back there, and then the owner
Speaker 2: does a great job of building it up every year
Speaker 2: and talking about the Super Bowl something that nobody's seen.
Speaker 2: This is a team right now, based on what they've
Speaker 2: done at home, that you believe should win two playoff
Speaker 2: games at home and play for the NFC Championship. The
Speaker 2: expectation is there. If it doesn't happen, people are gonna
Speaker 2: be upset.
Speaker 3: All I'm talking about is even last week going into
Speaker 3: the Commander's game, we gave the Commanders a chance. We
Speaker 3: gave them a chance when they had literally no chance
Speaker 3: in beating us and our team we had the better team.
Speaker 4: And this is again I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about I'm just saying from the outlook
Speaker 3: on the outside looking in about the Dallas Cowboys. It's
Speaker 3: not a situation where they said this this team should
Speaker 3: go in and they should dominate them. No, Jordan love
Speaker 3: Is is an up and coming star in the NFL,
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't be surprised if they went into a
Speaker 3: T and T stadium and b have they earned.
Speaker 2: The benefit of the doubt that you can't that you
Speaker 2: cannot just say, hey, what could the Packers do? This
Speaker 2: Cowboys team is let folks down enough to know that
Speaker 2: they're going to leave the door open and say, you
Speaker 2: know what, Jeordan loves playing, Well, could it happen?
Speaker 5: Could they do it? Because it's been done before.
Speaker 4: You picking Friday Dallas had to pick Dallas Morning News,
Speaker 4: and I picked myself.
Speaker 3: This is you know this is what you're talking about
Speaker 3: some like some specific people. You gotta be talking about it,
Speaker 3: because because when I wake up in the morning and
Speaker 3: I turn on whatever show, I've seen people saying, Hey,
Speaker 3: this is the best Cowboys team or the best Dak
Speaker 3: Prescott has played. But there's always going to be with
Speaker 3: any team by this covering team. If you sleepwalk into
Speaker 3: there and you you don't go, and I think that's
Speaker 3: I think that's what I think. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I don't know what The wildcard round consistently produces an upset.
Speaker 2: Last year I picked the Giants to go to minnesot
Speaker 2: don't win, and the Giants ended up doing We see
Speaker 2: it every year you met, you know, you mess around,
Speaker 2: you can't find out.
Speaker 5: All right, let's do this tomorrow, guys.
