Bill 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.239 Jones along with Mickey Spagnola. Salute again, Mickey, Are you 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.720 good to be with here watching on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.760 The salute salutations from Mickey. We've got Rob Phillips and 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.320 we've got Brian brought us hard at work with a 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.200 laptop computer. It's this time of year you have to 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.920 know numbers. Yeah, you know, people ask who gets cut, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.200 who's under contract? Why. I've got to the point I 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.040 can't remember who is under contract and who's not under contract. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.200 Did that dirty work yesterday and put it in my 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:26.480 brand new blue notebook for two nineteen starting up. Yeah, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.319 actually just printed out same as a draft book, as 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.200 it's easier. It's I got a blue book, my blue 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.959 book or the Cowboys in the NFL, and my green 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.560 book is for the draft. The draft. This sheet, this 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.640 sheet is in every press media guide for every game, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.640 and you don't really look at it until this week. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.360 You know, you really just worry about it. The release, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.320 season release, every week, season contracts. It's time to talk 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.160 about it, right, It's never changes from the first week 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.360 to the last week. That's something you need to have though. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.880 That's exactly right, because you can make some errors whenever 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.200 you one wrong all wrong with that PR department, But 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.800 you you can make errors when you are taking it 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.120 from your laptop and putting it into a notebook. Wise, 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.600 that's what I did. Yet I was like, why did 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.280 I put Byron Jones down as a free agent when 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.280 they picked up his fifth year option, and so I 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.519 put him in the wrong category. I realized that it 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.040 dawned on me this morning. Wait a second, and that's 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.960 that's why to me, this is one of the most 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.720 intriguing offseasons coming up that they've had in a while, because, yeah, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.280 they've got some guys out of contract, and Marcus Lawrence 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.280 is the biggest one, but they've got a lot of 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.680 guys with one year left on their deal that you're like, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.239 all right, what do they do with his deal? When 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.079 does that deal get done? And it's it's not just Dak, 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.640 you know, it's Zeke, it's Byron Jones, it's Amari Cooper. Uh. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.080 They got to figure out what they're gonna do with 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.000 these guys and and what the timing is going to 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.000 be and how to make it all work. Jerry was 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.960 talking about that on the fan this this morning, you know, said, hell, 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.920 I want a bigger boat, you know, but how do 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.520 you how do you make it all work under the cat? Yep? 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.760 So what are you noticing on that? No? I was 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.760 just looking at numbers. I was just looking at you know. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.880 I mean, I just like to have names in front 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.519 of me and I you know, and you when you're 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.400 looking at your team, you have to think about again. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.000 I think that a lot of us has to do 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.840 with you know, what happens with Lawrence, you know, I 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.560 mean I I if they don't get a deal, do 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.000 you use to use the franchise tag again on him? Now? 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.760 Do you have some hard feelings? You know? All these 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.000 things kind of play into and if you if you 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.560 if you don't if you don't sign him, do you 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.960 draft somebody? Can you find? You know, these are all 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.440 things you have to think about, the dominoes that all 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.400 kind of fall into place. I think there's some guys 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.560 that are probably not going to be here, you know. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.920 I my thought about Cole Beasley is I don't think 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.520 Cole Beasley is probably gonna be here. You know, I 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.560 should not. They don't dump out him? Comes out to money, right, Yeah, 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.240 I think it comes down to money. But you're talking 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.880 about some of the guys. Some of the things they 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.000 have to need, they're gonna have to to figure out. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.600 But you know, that's one of those ones. I kind 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.920 of just in my mind, I'm thinking, Okay, maybe the 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.400 draft I have to go look for a this guy 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.160 or this guy or this guy. You know. That's kind 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.440 of how I look at the end of the season here, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.920 especially with this team. Yeah, but you will know that 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.479 before you get to the draft, right yep, I mean 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.920 you don't. So he's gonna be a market guy. You're 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.360 gonna say, Okay, I'm not signing you ahead of time, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.040 right see, with the market value proven that, and then 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.520 we'll see if we can sign you. Anthony Hitchins and 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.840 if somebody gives you all that money, it's like, we 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.159 appreciate your time. Have a good year. All right. We 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.880 had the season ending press conference from Jason Garrett yesterday. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:46.280 What were your takeaways from that? The coaches, the coaching situation. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.080 And by the way, Jason, I don't know that he 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.479 completed all the player exit interviews, but he estimated sixty 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.240 five he had done by two o'clock yesterday afternoon. We 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.680 ought to be damn near done with sixty five. And 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.240 I know, and he said he went into the coach 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.640 meetings after the press conference yesterday, and that was and 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.000 he did because I was trying to get something from 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.960 him and he was running, well, I was. I was 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.040 taping the Jason Garrett Show yesterday afternoon, and originally we 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.400 were going to do it at four thirty. He got 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.679 pushed back to five or forty five, and we wound 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.679 up doing it after a seven o'clock So yeah, oh, no, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.080 he was in a meeting that he couldn't get out 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.280 of from three o'clock on. Basically, well, he was going 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.720 into a staff meeting, yeah, immediately, So on that subject, 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:44.320 he said, you know, no status of the coaching staff 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.440 right now, they haven't had those discussions as of early 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.040 Monday afternoon. M kind of in line with what Stephen 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.640 Jones said on the radio yesterday. Jerry wouldn't comment about 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.120 the overall status of the coaching staff. So it is 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.120 what it is right now, you know, I mean, what 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.000 is it? Jerry said they wanted him to go on record, 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.320 and he goes, well, there's no record because when I 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.559 hang up this phone, I don't know what I'm doing, 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.720 So there's no record. Yeah. I thought that was twenty 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.720 four minutes of gold this morning. It was Greaham. He 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:20.120 was on his game this morning. Believe me, he didn't oversleep. 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.560 He had this whole thing thought out, and I think 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.080 he kind of projected every question he was going to 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.960 get because he didn't stutter on one answer, starting with 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.400 the one that you answered yesterday, which was about him 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.840 not talking to the media to the game on Saturday night. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.479 Was it that he was avoiding the media. It was 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.040 he couldn't get for the press box at the coliseum 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.320 down to where nobody can. Yeah, that's what we talked 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.000 about yesterday. What's your biggest takeaway from that though? Of 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.960 all the gold he had, give me the top three 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:59.760 gold Moments. Number one, that he liked the direction this 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:05.159 team was going coaching staff wise or player wise from 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:11.560 a talent standpoint. Uh. That and that he's basically not 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:17.240 holding twenty eighteen responsible for sixteen for fourteen for oh 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.600 nine for seven for ninety six, that they couldn't make 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.800 the next step. He felt like, uh, they were building 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.400 for the future, and that's why he thought this, that 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.680 he felt good about what took place this season. As 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:38.560 for the coaching staff, I think what he was trying 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.880 to say is as the season went along, the staff 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.560 did a better job because it was a new staff, 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.600 and that they kind of came together, especially after they 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:53.320 made the change on the offensive line. He felt like 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:58.680 the assistant coaches grew as the team also, uh grew, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.760 and that everything's open. It's like I don't know what's 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.960 going to be available, And I think that's how he 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.000 put it with the offensive coordinator, I don't know what's 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.480 going to be available next week, so I can't tell 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.320 you this week what I'm doing in two weeks, So 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.640 I would imagine, you know, kind of things are are 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.800 kind of open. He seemed pleased with the direction they went, 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.920 and another strong support for his head coach too, and 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.960 strong support for the head coach. And that's something I 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.440 think we've pointed out before. He kind of I don't 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.400 know if he listens to us or what, but he 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.320 kind of said Tom Landry wouldn't have been Tom Landry 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.920 had the Cowboys not given him a chance to continue on. Yeah, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.280 I think people have more problems with Scott Linahan than 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.560 they do Jason Garrett. It was funny you mentioned that 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.040 because I was talking with Rob before the show and 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.600 Kent Garrison, who's taking your phone calls here? You can 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.240 we I guess we can throw out this question, Mike question. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.040 I asked probably four or five different people over the 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.960 last twenty four hours, what is your first order of 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:10.280 business for the Cowboys this offseason? And asked who? Just 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:15.199 these were just they were people people, Yeah, Oh okay, yeah, um, 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.520 the production people at work, whoever? You know, Just what's 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:24.560 your first dandy? Not dandy? Now, what's your first order 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.200 of business? And to a man and one woman, each 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.520 one of them said, uh, play caller, his first order 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.559 of changed the play collar. Did the play caller get 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.000 it better when they got the receiver? Yeah? And the 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.720 numbers went up. Numbers went up right, I'm just mentioning 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.760 that as that is what a lot of fans are saying, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.120 is they got and I think it's knee jerk it's 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.120 that knee jerk reactions. Well, we got to do something 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.520 to get to fix this. Yeah, I know they can't 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.160 further head coach. Well, and they're looking at the four 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.920 teams remaining in the playoffs. Sure, they're all the highest 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.719 scoring teams in the NFL. Right, so yeah, what can 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.120 you do to take this offense to another level? That's 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.920 always a lot anytime they lose a game. What do 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.239 we get the most criticism about? Yeah, the play call? Yeah, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.360 because we don't know. Yeah, that's that's easy for us. Yeah, 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.200 it's really it's really easy to say, you know, and 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.599 Mickey talks about execution and things like that. I'm I 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.200 tweeted it out this morning. I'm all for bringing all 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.160 these guys back. I'm all for it. Whole staff, the 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.760 whole staff. I'm all for bringing them back, and I'm 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.400 making them all coach for their jobs is what I'm doing. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.040 I'm gonna I'm not going to extend Jason Garrett. I'm 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.520 gonna make this staff coach as a group and and 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.319 and see what we can get out of this. If 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.880 you get it, if you win the division again, if 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.040 you get into divisional playoffs again, you know, by all means, 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.800 I'll find a way to reward you. Or if you 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.480 want to stay, but I I you know, to to 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.000 sit there and say, okay, well we're going to extend 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.040 this guy, and then then the coordinator doesn't work. If 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.040 you want if you want to fire the coordinator, then 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.840 if I'm Jerry Jones, I'm telling Jason Garrett you're calling 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.160 plays now, then I'm not going to put up with 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.160 some of these coordinators they're talking about right now, I'm 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.280 just not okay, So fire the coordinator. Who are you hiring? 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.920 That's exactly right, That's that's why. No, that's exactly right. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.440 Next questions, exactly you could hate Scott Linahan all you want, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.680 but tell me who. And Mickey it drives me nuts 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.840 when he uses this, but in this time it applies. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.440 He's absolutely Look what all these other teams are doing, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.840 guys they're hiring as coordinator. Experiously, if you if you 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.560 were going to tell me you want Ken Zampez or 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.600 you want to Jim Bob Cooder or who all hackets, 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.880 Paul Hack. Yeah, if you want one of those guys, great, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.440 But if you extend and then you and then it 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.800 turns out to be a Now what have you accomplished? 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.200 And you want to and you want to get rid 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.800 of Verry, We're at the same point I think Jerry made. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.440 Did Jerry say it today? He said, I don't know 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.559 how many more people Sean mcvagh knows. Yeah, because that's 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.440 who's getting hired. Anybody that I mean, the better back 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.040 coach who is never called plays right, that's why Kingsbury's 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.880 a head coach in the NFL, Right, why people have 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.960 trouble hiring coaches. And then your next question, Your next question, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.520 and for those people should be what did you predict 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.560 the Cowboys record to be this year? Well? They they 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.600 gotten the plus. Let's not focus on that. No, I'm 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:14.000 just saying that's not focus focus on expected it, focus 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.320 on the coaching staff. It doesn't matter. Focus on the 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.480 coaching staff. Well we just did. I'm saying, I'm with 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.800 telling him when he gets those questions, those are the 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.600 next two questions. But but the expectations changed, and it's 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.400 a weird vibe in this building right now. Change it's 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.719 a it changed when it changed after they made the 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.120 trade and they started winning. It's it's a combination. It's 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.200 a combination of you. They feel like they accomplished something, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:38.960 but if you and there's a lot of voices this week, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.360 Steven's Talk, Jerry's Talk, Jason's talk, if you listen to 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:45.199 Steven yesterday, there's a lot of disappointment here too. Because yeah, absolutely, 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.840 because Steven said on the radio yesterday, we've got to 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.960 figure out a way to get past this this barrier 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.880 we're at and it's the second round of the playoffs, 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.560 and I think that this is a different team than 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.960 recent years. But they've you know, it's been a glass ceiling. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.200 And so what you do. You know, you got a 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.760 young team. You're expecting those guys to get to the 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.400 next level. But where else can they look? How introspective 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.719 can they beating? Okay, so why didn't they get there 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.200 in twenty sixteen? It doesn't matter, we're talking about twenty eighteen. No, 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.200 I'm asking. He just said they can't get over the barrier. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.480 Is it a one year barrier or is it a 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.640 five year barrier? It's been a twenty something year backer. Okay, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.440 So twenty sixteen. The reason they didn't get there because 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.760 the defense wasn't good enough, right, Yeah, and the defense 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:33.000 got better until that game. So how do you figure 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:38.400 they improve the defense? The offensive line faltered, and it 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.720 faltered in the Rams game. Sure, Joe Looney played well 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.520 all season long. Yeah, he was no match for Nodomicon 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.560 Sue in that game. Okay, so what do you do? 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.199 You hope, hope that your center comes back. Right. That 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.240 was one of the great things that came out of 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.360 Jason Garrett's press conference yesterday. Yeah, it sounds like Travis 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.719 Frederick is. I mean, he's already been by stuff and 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.240 you Brian mentioned it yesterday that it looks very positive 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.679 for his return. It's great night. I'm god just firing 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.120 guys to fire guys. I think that's where everybody's going 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:11.840 in the wrong direction here. If you want to tell 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.200 me that the if in fact, they made the trade 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.520 and then the team team started getting worse offensively and 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.400 they didn't make the playoffs, by all means, move on, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.240 move on. But I'm again, I'm I'm letting this thing. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.120 I'm gonna let this thing ride for one more year. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.040 I am I'm not gonna because I'm seeing the guys 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.040 out there and again, if you want to make a change, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.560 my recommendation would be, didn Jason Garrett call the place. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.160 That would be my recommendation. If you want to get 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.320 rid of Glennahan, if you want to get rid of 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.360 Kellen Moore, go get your quarterback coach and let and 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.120 let and let Jason Garrett call the play. Is that 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.840 because you don't want to vastly change the course. I'm 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.640 trying to help Dak Prescott the best I can, and 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.400 I don't know necessarily changing coordinators right now. If you 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.200 tell me, I could go out next year and hire 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.960 a head coach that's an offic it's a mindy coach, 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.600 and he could come in here and sweep everything in 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.480 Newton by all means. But also though I'm willing to 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.720 give this coach a chance, I'm willing to give this 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.120 head coach a chance, in this offensive coordinator a chance. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.280 If it doesn't work, then make all your changes you want. 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.520 But I'm not changing then all of a sudden, think 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.960 about changing the head coach again and then probably having 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.440 to change the coordinator if it doesn't work. And I'm 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.240 not into changing a bunch of things right now just 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.200 to change. And Jerry made that point that he has 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.880 done that previously, that you changed the head coach, you 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.320 changed the coordinator. Now I'm changing my staff and I 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.720 have no continuity none. That is the biggest problem here. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.240 Look at what goes on. You think that Arizona has 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.800 continuity right now? Changing coach one year, they went through 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.000 Bruce Arians all that time they changed, then they got 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.240 a whole new staff of coaches. How about Denver? Denver 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.960 two years, whole new staff of coaches. How would you 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:57.680 convince the owner to make Jason Garrett the play caller again? 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.480 How would you? Yeah, Batman, because he was the caller 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.040 and then though it changed. I believe there's two head 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.600 coaches this league that are art play callers or primary 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.040 or not that our primary or not? Oh not? Yeah, 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.960 trying to think who the other one was. I think 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.240 there were two in this league because if you feel 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.480 good about what's going on with your defense, and you 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.560 don't have to spend time there because think about it, 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.320 they were struggling defensively, right and yeah until they got 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.000 kind of Marinelli in and now you got Richard and 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.000 he felt like he needed to overlook everything. And that's 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.000 when he gave up the play calling, right, So that 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.960 was the reason why to give it, gave it up 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.920 to begin with. So maybe things have changed now to 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.960 where you convince them that, okay, yeah, that's the best 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.200 route to go is to if this team was three 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.440 and thirteen, I get it, I get it, move on, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.480 move on. They weren't at three. There were three and 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.040 five at one time that that you know, they were 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.920 on the path to being let go. But now you 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:05.640 turn things around. But I again, extension and all that stuff. No, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.640 h you make players. You make players play for contract extension. 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.440 You got a seventeen million dollar guy that you're trying 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.440 to get done. Now you made him play. What did 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.919 he do? He played pretty well for you, didn't he? 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.439 So what you're saying, you would be in favor, not 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.080 to put words in your mouth, Yeah, you would be 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.000 in favor of giving Garrett the play calling duties if 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:31.800 in one year and not extended. If I'm not saying 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.000 if you want to, if you want to change, if 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.920 you if everybody out there standing at out front of 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:41.080 the Star here on one Cowboy Way and with the 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.960 pitchforks and the torches and all that and about to 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.040 storm the doors. If you want to do that, and 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.240 you don't have an answer for what he just said 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:54.199 about a play caller, you don't have a suitable offensive coordinator. Okay, 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.760 then your next response to just be Bill Garrett and 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.040 need to call the plays that needs to happen. And 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.160 if you want to move on from the quarterback coach, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.960 bring Wade Wilson back. Whatever you want to do, do it. 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.840 But right now you don't have a good answer. You 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.560 really don't, and don't act like you do. Don't act 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.160 like you do. You just want blood, is what you want. Sure, 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.320 And that's a you know what. That's why you're a fan, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:26.000 because you want blood. I'm you know what, Hey, I'm 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.760 all for I'm all for making changes and stuff, but 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.800 I'm also making changes for reasons, you know, And everybody's 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.720 out there it's like going, oh, the offensive offense got 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.800 better once they made the trade. Yeah, started moving the 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.200 ball better. Yep? You know, is that Lanahan or is 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.640 that the trade that Jerry Jones made? You know? Did 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.840 the front office help the coaches? I wonder what Robert 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.280 in New York wants. Let's check out. Be careful, Robert 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:56.800 in New York. You're on talking Cowboys. Yeah, what's up? 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:04.240 I was a um thinking, like we we definitely we 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:12.800 definitely need uh defensive defensive lineman, like an interior linement. Um, 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.040 it's interest because of what you saw in the game 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.280 last week. Absolutely absolutely like we need like a almost 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:27.680 like a game record, like I mean David David Irving. No, okay, guy, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.560 no you will. But if he had been there and 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.680 been the David Irving you were planning on, it could 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.479 have been. Yeah. Absolutely, Um. I was thinking, maybe, like 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.280 in the draft we can pick one up. It's gonna 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.400 be hard. It's gonna be hard. I mean, they're really 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.200 good ones, like the Jeffrey Simmons guys, like that Wilkins, 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.120 those guys, they're all gonna be gone the first round. Right. 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.200 What about what about I almost don't want to say 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:55.920 him because I think he's gonna slide a little bit. 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.440 What about the kids from Wisconsin? The Saga Polo guy. Yeah, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.359 I haven't looked at him yet, but we're gonna have 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.199 the draft show here coming up Thursday. I'm sure Dame 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.440 Brugler can answer all the questions about that kid. I 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.439 appreciate you, though, I think one of the one of 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.879 the problems they had in that game, because that's the 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.800 game we're focusing on now, right we are, because we 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.920 are before that Seattle, it was the human Log and 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.560 and it was MALIEK. Collins. Well, MALIEK. Collins didn't get 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.399 the chance to play enough snaps in that game. I 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.040 think between his illness and his knee, he didn't practice 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.840 that much either. And Karan Reads was terrible. He was 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.840 he messed you know what. He his inability messed up 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:40.560 the human log. Yeah. Uh. And they were forced to 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.600 play Randy Gregory I think too many plays on the 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.560 outside because he was not very good against the run. Yeah, 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.600 and they picked on him. Yeah, and and so knew 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.639 that coming in and they knew it. They knew it. 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.800 They knew whites chandle him a man demand you saw it. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.800 But on the in the running game, Yeah, they took 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.480 advantage of him getting up the field and they ran 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.480 underneath them. A little bit unsettling feeling for fans right now, 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.600 because of the strength that you had all year didn't 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.440 show up in the biggest a season. You go into 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.280 the offseason, then how do you look at it? Well, 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.399 you're saying the first thing you need is a defensive tackle, 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.280 and I you know what that that there's where David 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.040 Irving hurts you. But you know what, this team played 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.920 single high safety all year and defended to run right 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:26.200 all year long. Yep, they were one of the best 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.360 in the league at it. Let's not act like that one. 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.760 You know when when they were bad? What two games 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.359 were they bad this year? Colts and Rams? Colts and Rams? 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.440 What happened? Got turned up front, got a got guys 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.960 up on the linebackers playing to playing, playing single high 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.719
