Hi, everybody, Okay? 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:40.199 Moving in two eight big time Saturday matchup between the lines. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.639 Who are eleven and four NFC Nord champions, the Dallas 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:48.040 Cowboys ten and five and they're in the playoffs, still 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.080 trying to wrap up the NFC North. Jimmy Johnson is 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:55.080 going in. This is a game you simply cannot lose. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.000 The Vegas Line has the Cowboys winning by six. Hekma 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.040 explain me, young Verry, why this is a game they 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:02.840 cannot lose. 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.960 Well, I'm gonna say one, it's because of Jimmy going 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:06.800 into the ring. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.640 Just that's just it. 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.440 You cannot have an l with Jimmy going into the ring. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.920 And just man, for me, I'm just gonna talk from 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.120 my experience man as a youngster growing up obviously, you know, 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.319 loving the Cowboys my whole life. They're in the eighties 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.880 when things got really bad around here, late eighties, it 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:33.480 was ugly. Everybody was down, everybody was broke in the 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.480 Cowboys broke. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.880 Spirit. Yes, so Reagano, it's time ten. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.920 But uh, it came down really to when Jimmy Johnson 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:44.400 took over. 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.600 It was like a culture shift. It was a culture shift. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.440 At that time because you got a think like you 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.120 had Mike Tyson, you had, you know, all of these 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.280 different things coming all at once. Then you had like, 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.640 um no, the Dame. All of that, like sports entertainment 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.040 like came to a whole nother level. And Jimmy Johnson 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.080 was smack dab in the middle of that, especially with 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.760 those University of Miami teams. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:05.920 So when he took over. 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.119 For the Dallas Cowboys, it was crazy like for everybody 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.600 and just what he meant, what he meant coming in 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.720 and the way they got. People respect him and everybody 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.720 revered him as a as a leader. But just the 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.400 guys that he brought in. He wasn't bringing the choir 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.520 boys to the Cowboys. He you know, Mike was already here, 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.760 but he Mike was like a partner catalyst for all 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.680 of that you bring an in it, you bring in Troy, 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.720 you know, you bring in other guy, Charles Haley's coming in, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.400 like all of the guys that were here in this 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.720 those teams. Man, that really just set things back right 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.720 from from where you were before as an organization. And so, Man, 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.760 I am so happy that this Saturday is happening, but 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.919 happy for Jerry and Jimmy being able to bury a 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.720 hatchet for whatever they had going on. 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.200 I don't even it don't even. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.520 Matter, just to see two guys put that behind him 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.520 they won a national championship together, but to see him 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.000 finally go into the Ring of Honor. And I think 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.600 that for this team to pull out of victory, Man, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.360 it would mean every day, it would mean everything. The 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.160 Cowboy fans everywhere, that's you know, everybody. I'm a lifelong 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.200 one man, you know, they love Jimmy. Didn't want to 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:15.080 see Jimmy leave. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.040 So no, he can't. He can't lose. Man, cannot lose 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.400 this Saturday. Barry. I'm old enough to have gone to 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.799 the Ring of Honor ceremony in Texas Stadium where Tom 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.079 Landry win Inikes. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:34.640 And and so here was Jerry had to work, he 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.800 had to work to get Tom Landry to come come. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.760 Except this workcause Jerry fired. Jerry fired, Jimmy. I mean 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.120 a little work to get this thing repaired and get 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.280 it done. And and so this is just a second 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:51.280 head coach to get this honor. This does not happen 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.960 very often. This is something to be at and for 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.840 those who don't know on the players, like heck Ma 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.040 Harrison's uncle is the great mean Joe Green, greatest steeler 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.040 of all time, It's great defensive tackle of all time. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.800 Have you ever had an opportunity to go back to 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.840 Pittsburgh with him when they've had the old Timers Day? Yes, okay, 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.040 this will be old timers day because Jimmy's people are 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:21.080 coming the players right thirty years You remember that when 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.440 they walked in there, it was it was like heroes 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:30.479 gladiators coming in man chills people looking at that's Frank, 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.640 you can't and you and if you're a player, you 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.960 can't go out there and lose on that. If you 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.839 do that, you know they gonna look at you like me. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:40.520 You know it. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.600 You don't want Joe Green looking down his nose at 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:48.680 you like you've embarrassed me. I'm here, there's there is 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.760 a sense of and that's what a great organization the 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.120 Steelers in the cabin, there's a sense of responsibility. You 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.000 can't come out here and embarrass yourself in front of champions. 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.400 You can't do that, and they won't do it. So 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.840 that's my thing. The Lions are here. But if you're 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.279 Dak Prescott, your tangle, if you're anybody who has any 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.360 sense of pride about yourself, you're not about to go 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.440 out here in front of all these people who put 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:16.880 up the banners at the stadium and honor Jimmy Johnson 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.320 and go get yourself beat you. If you do that, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.600 I'm gonna talk about talk about it. If that happens 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.400 on Monday, I will lose it. Man. No, look, you can't. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.000 You can't, man, you can't when you have greatness that 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.120 walks in there like that and the people that have 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.040 built this very thing that you get your check off. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.919 This team is the most valuable franchise. It's the most 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.320 popular franchise. It's also the most hated franchise. But it's 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.800 built on what those guys. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.120 Is it because of a guy that's going in as 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.400 far as Jimmy Johnson, And that's what That's what this 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.039 whole allure hold because if it was like just another player, 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.600 it had been you know, this was this is it. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.799 You know Jimmy built it. Yeah, Jimmy built this, and 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:09.160 yet Jerry's money allowed it to happen, and Jerry's ability 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.039 to trust Jimmy when he hired he fired Tom Landry 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:17.120 for Jimmy. Think about that Hall of Famer Innovader in 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.679 the National Football League. You fired him because you said 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:25.320 this guy at Miami is the guy. He said Jimmy 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.640 was worth ten for ten heismans. Jimmie was worth inan 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:33.840 ten heismans. Yeah, this is this is significant when you 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.400 talk about the franchise and literally his name has to 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:42.320 be up there. Jimmy was so good he left town. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.200 They hired a dude who never coached in the NFL 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.400 and Barry Switzer, and he won a championship. Yes, the 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.320 first Cowboys game I watch was was Barry Switzer? How 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:52.520 wild is that? First one? 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.440 I say seven when they when they played against the 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.440 steel because he was the head coach when they played again, 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.000 not even the first game. That was my first game 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.240 I ever watched. Then remember the Jimmy spots. But you 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.400 know Detroit and Dan Campbell. You know what he's gonna 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.440 try to flip it to you. Look, now, they don't 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.520 respect y'all. They put y'all on this date. You know 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.880 that we're gonna go in there. We're gonna spoil this day. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.560 So they gotta understand this, players that this ain't gonna 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.080 be a walk through. This ain't gonna be just this is. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.760 This is our homecoming type game. You know, Dan Campbell 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.880 gonna spend that thing we saw last year Detroit. Detroit 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:24.360 had him. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.320 That right last year, a fumble, a goal line fumble 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.800 away from actually that making that game a lot closer 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:31.840 than what it ended up being. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.679 Right, So so Detroit's not gonna come in here scared. 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.560 They're not gonna come in here we can't beat him. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.440 They're gonna come in here with the advent of what 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.120 you said. Oh you're gonna have a little party up 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.200 here on this day, and we had you last year. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.760 Now we come back here, we're North champions. Let us 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.640 show you what we can do. You haven't lost all 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.640 year long after forty games, So yes, damn Campbell's going 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.440 to have that thing set up there. Aaron Glenn, that 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:57.720 defensive coordinator former Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, yeah, I get it. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.560 But if you're the Cowboys, you can you can't let 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.680 this slip. I mean, you know, Troit men in the booth. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:08.000 I want Troy talking about me. Troy already talky. Yeah, no, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:08.760 they're going to be on you. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.000 And I'm glad that you you say that, because it's 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.680 not a walk in the park, and by no means 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:17.960 is Detroit the homecoming opponent that you schedule. The one 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.960 thing that worries me about this matchup is that we 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.360 have one of the youngest teams in the NFL and 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.320 the average age twenty five on the roster, and so 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.080 a lot of people don't make mention of that, so 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.480 it's not a lot of experience. And and with that, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.600 I always have this conversation with my son a lot 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.600 about being ignorant to history, not knowing the history of things. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.160 And you talk to a lot of young people, they 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.480 just don't know the history of something, so they can't 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:47.839 have the same appreciation of it. And I know this 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:53.200 is the players lounge, so I'll just notice that, noticing 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.760 that the history of it. And I want these guys 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.120 to take this moment in because it is a big 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.280 moment for them and maybe even like a past sing 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.760 of the torch in a way for them, for us 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.480 as an organization, because this next couple of years of 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.319 being Cowboys, you want these guys to lay that same foundation. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:17.360 The foundation that I'm talking about is championship level. It's 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.120 not the expectation here isn't going to the playoffs. The 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.120 expectation for the Dallas Cowboys is winning Super Bowls. And 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.400 that's why people have ridiculed and made fun of the 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.680 Dallas Cowboys for the last close to thirty years because 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.360 they haven't sniffed. 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.360 Not even been in the town. You hadn't even been. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.440 Close, you know, those years that you've gone through those droughts, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.880 And I think it's lasted so much longer than think 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.000 anybody would have been I know, damn well for me, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.720 has lasted a lot longer than I would have expected. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.040 But that's the one thing that worries me. It's just 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.280 the youth and the experience of this team. Do they 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.920 have that same sort of responsibility for feeling like I'm 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.199 responsible for the history of this organization. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.400 So you bring up a really good point, and this 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.840 is where your head coach comes in, and this is 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.760 also the benefit of your head coach, who spent all 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.600 the over a dozen years in Green Bay understanding this 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.000 is not a regular franchise. It's different here, and so 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.240 I think Mike has done a really nice job in 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.320 terms of understanding what was Green Bay and also understanding 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.040 and embracing what is the Dallas Cavils. But that's where 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.840 your coaching staff comes in. This is where I think 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.280 they're lucky. Dak Prescott is the quarterback who grew up 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.959 a cowboy fan, who has an understanding of what this means. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.400 And Dak is a very you know, we know, Dak's 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.160 a really mature guys, got his master's degree in leadership 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.000 and organization. So I think they'll be ready to go. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.080 But most of them, we spoke about this yesterday. You 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.800 don't want three straight laws. You can't do that. And 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.160 this is a playoff team. And if they're going to, 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.679 if they want us to believe the things they say 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.480 will be better, this week, will correct the things and 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.520 let's see it off. Buffalo. They were better, they said, 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.840 especially dan Quinn. We got things to clean up. We'll 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.960 be back. They were better defensively, uh the next week. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.600 So this is a week where your favorite at home, 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.280 had lost at home. Here's a playoff team, another good 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:16.160 team coming in here. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.000 DJA and and also this if they if they take 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.880 an l here. I don't know the you know the 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.160 math behind it, but you're basically out of winning winning 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.840 the NFC East. Is that is that correct? Like if 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.800 Philly wins and they lose this game, you need a 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.600 whole lot. You got to have all types of you know. 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.680 Toddam math all that other stuff. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.560 So this this could be you know, your final opportunity 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.160 these next two games to lock up the NFC East 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.040 and we all understand what comes to it with that. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.120 Winning the NFC East you get a home playoff game, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.040 and we all talked about it for weeks on weeks 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.839 how different this team is at home versus on the row. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.960 So you got, you know, Jimmy going in, You got 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.040 you know, don't want to go down three games in 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.000 a row. You got you know, NFC East on the line. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.679 So if you need extra motivation getting into this game 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.360 as a play, I mean, something's wrong with you. You 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.160 gotta get it done, and this is the opportunity to 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.400 do so they gotta be ready for it. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.480 And I don't and that's the thing for me, Barry, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.120 for you as a former player, I mean, I think 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.520 you're speaking to what the heartbeat of the locker room 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.240 should be, you know, coming into this matchup, because like 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:16.920 you said, if you don't win this and then you're 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.120 not giving yourself an opportunity to even have a home game, 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.120 which I think that's what we're kind of hanging a 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.880 hat on, like y'all need a home game, okay, and 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.000 maybe some kind of way miraculously that happens. I just 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.920 feel as though, look, putting all of the pageantry aside, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.280 this team has lost two games in a row, two 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.520 games that I think that coming into it, you felt 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.800 like those were winnable games based off of where your 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.880 offense was, especially where your defense is, And then you 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.320 look at the rest of the schedule, You look at 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.520 the rest of the league, and you're like, man, Philly lost. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.240 You know, these seems the forty nine ers loss. You 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.199 missed the opportunity by losing those games because you could 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.040 have changed your own the number one of them would 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.600 be number one on overall, and you went up against 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.719 some really tough opponents. But I just I'm going back 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.360 to the fact that the Lions or a formidable opponent 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.640 that you're facing here at home, probably the best that 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.080 you've seen at home all season. And this is another 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.640 test for you as a team going into the playoffs. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.920 I just don't want to and I know that you've 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.400 heard this before as a former Dallas Cowboy, not limping 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.000 into the playoffs. You know, don't limp into the playoffs. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.080 You got an opportunity to get that number one seed, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.160 or get that by take advantage of it. Get it 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.520 because you needed to get an opportunity to be healthy. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.000 And we've seen those little knicks start to happen to 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.600 our team with health right here at the end. But 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.880 I think bigger than anything, getting a winning streak going 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.960 at the end of the season, that could be the 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.200 catalyst to get you through the rest of this and 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.760 hopefully get you to the NFC Championship. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.480 This is a team we all right here on the players' 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.240 lounge agree, is a good team and a physical football team. Yes, 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.760 I'm on Detroit, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. This 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.160 is a good team coming in here. Show something, yeah, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.520 show something. Lost the last two weeks. You ain't got 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:04.640 embarrassed against Buffalo, lost close to Miami, win when I 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:09.439 mean the next two games should be wins. Now. Obviously, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.920 well Washington will be as it always is at the end. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.280 It'll be a determining factor of what is it they 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.760 want to do and where seatings and things are set. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.440 But this is a game you need to win, and 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:27.600 if they don't win, Cowboy fans should be upset. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.520 I would know should be upset because when you look 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.600 at it, like we said, have you lose this game, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.840 that's three in a row and we just talked about 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.520 limping into the playoffs, it's a real thing. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:37.200 It's a real thing. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.160 You know, people say it's all coach talk, but it's 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:40.840 a real thing. If you lose three in a row, 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.360 that momentum, it's a son of a gun. We all 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.120 understand that. So getting this victory here because like you said, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.120 next week, who knows what the seating, what you're gonna do, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.520 resting players, not resting players, who knows what's going on? 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.720 This is your. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.880 Final real in my opinion, big time tests as a 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.160 Dallas because look at the test they've had so far. 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.440 You know, Philly twice one, San Francisco they lost that test. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.280 Good team, good team Buffalo, Miami they lost those two. 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.240 So this is an opportunity, man, to not only help 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.120 your team out as far as standing wise, but get 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.160 that confidence on the right on the right track. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.960 So heck, very just picking up what you said. You 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.960 stay right here at your spot, you're probably gonna end 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.200 up five if you stay. That's Tampa. Tampa has won 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.720 four straight games in a row, and now they get 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.560 New Orleans at home, and then they end the year 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:35.120 against Carolina. So they're playing good football. They are. They 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.000 could end up right now, they're eight and seven. They 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.760 could end up ten and seven on a nice little 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.040 run at five straight games if they do it against 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:47.920 that team, so that it'd be six straight if they 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.400 finished it up. So so what I thought was, hey, 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.000 now you're looking at that, Okay, all right, So yeah, 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.520 they need to go ahead and figure some things out here. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.560 And this is the week to do man. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.360 This is the last Friday of the year. Man, I'm 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.320 not gonna sit in here with the four our thousands. 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.120 I'm not gonna do it. I would say, not the 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.120 four our thousands, not today, man, because I think you know, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.200 the Cowboys slipped up, but that doesn't make them a 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.000 bad team. They well, we never said that and I'm 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.000 not accusing you of saying that. What I'm where I'm 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.280 going with this is it's time for you to go 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.360 ahead and put this part of whatever the narrative is. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.080 Y'all sawt y'all can't play on the road, y'all can't 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.880 do this and that. Okay, y'all don't want to see 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.920 us either. How many people are saying we don't want 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:35.840 to see the Cowboys? 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.720 Now? Are they saying that in Tampa? 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.920 Are they saying in Tampa we don't want the Cowboys 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.280 at home? Because Micah and company, Deron Bland is gonna 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.120 come in here, and that's gonna be a tough that's 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:47.720 gonna be a tough opponent for us to go up 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.360 against at home. I don't hear those rumors. I don't 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.400 hear those murmurs going around but for the Cowboys, and 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.680 it's been this way over the last couple of seasons, 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.920 or we don't want to see the forty nine ers 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.840 at this point, we don't want to see boy if 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.200 we just get it just right, man, the only way. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.120 Through this is through it. It's gonna be tough, regardless, 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:06.120 it's gonna be man. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.200 Come on, you and I always go back to your 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.760 experience in the AFC Championship, because I think that's the 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.960 toughest thing to do, is to get to the point, 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:16.240 to be one game away from actually going to the 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.600 super Bowl. There's so many guys that's played this game 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.680 that's never even been there, and so for this young 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.520 team to have an opportunity and realize, man, we got 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.760 we got everything that we need to get to that point. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.000 How many teams are saying we don't want to see 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.720 the Cowboys? That's my question because if we're the one saying, oh, man, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.359 you know Tampa, Baker Mayfield, they're looking really good right now. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.159 They want like three in a row already, do you 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:40.640 really want to go to Tampa and see them? 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:40.840 Oh? 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.080 Yeah, I want to see them. You want to smoke? 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.000 I want all to smoke. Yes, I want to see them. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.520 They don't want to see us. Gotta have that mentality. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.000 What other mentality can you have? Be see? Gotta have 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.680 what stands in the way it becomes the way?

So, Russell Wilson's 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:48.879 get ready to get cut in Denver. So off. So 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.840 here's the thing. His money hadn't really kicked in yet. 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:53.520 The money is about to kick in for Denver for 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.160 the extension that they gave its well over twenty million dollars. 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.560 So so now it's about to kick their cutting. And 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.800 the big thing there you take from that is you 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:08.359 can't miss on these deals down there, your old team Jacksonville. 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:10.800 They got to pick up that fifty year option on 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:12.760 Trevor ow. It's gonna be a big numbers, a lot 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.240 of big numbers, and so so you know what type 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:17.960 of deal do you give a guy? So now we're 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.280 talking about fifty million dollars deals for this quarterback. Yes, yeah, 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.880 that's going to be at the basement on most Dak 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.720 Prescott is got to get this contract redone. The cap 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:29.760 number is so high. Next you, they've got to redo 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.760 the contract. So now you're talking about Dak when people 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.560 were like, oh my gosh, he's not worth forty. Yes, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:41.280 today's prices, not today's. It is not that Joe went 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.760 up ten million dollars and only fifty million dollars, so 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:50.720 I touched sixty. So you're going to have Dak Prescott fifty. 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.840 Ceedee Lamb is due for a new deal. Ceedee Lamb 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.359 is not coming in here trying to take the average price. 0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:01.600 Ceedee Lamb won't get paid. You've got Michael Parsons, he's 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:05.400 got to get paid. He's he's coming up. Tyler Beattish 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:09.440 is coming up. Trayvon Diggs already got paid. They actually 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.360 got a good deal there. They got a nice deal there. 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:17.240 So as far as Tyler Smith out, Tyler still got 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:21.679 yeah years, yeah, two years, okay, okay, yeah, land same thing. 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:26.000 So but but Tyler Smith you're going to get three 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:27.159 because he was the first run. 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.800 He'll get that fifty. And that's the only reason why 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:31.919 I bring up blame is that he doesn't have Yes. 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.800 He's two years he's two years away, So yes, paying 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.400 Dak Prescott. As all these teams who decide to pay 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:43.480 their quarterbacks, such as Russell Wilson, you're you're now going 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.800 to be limited as to what you can do with 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.600 the rest of your roster. And the Cowboys are at 0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.320 that point in time where they've got to sit around 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.840 here think about, Okay, what do we do. We've spoken 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:58.120 about Michael Gallup, who got paid. Michael Gallup is clearly 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:05.879 your number three receiver here. Four it might be Bold, Yeah, Ferguson, 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:10.560 he cooks. You can't keep paying him over ten million dollars? 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:11.080 Can? 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.359 You simply cannot do that. It's not justifiable when you 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.800 look at the economics here. So you've got that Tyler 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.119 beatis your center is up pro bowler? What are you 0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.200 going to pro bowler? What are you going to pay him? 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.200 Versus do you decide to say, let's go into the 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.800 draft or let's bring it free. I mean, these are 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:32.439 the kinds of decisions you've got to make here, because 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:34.720 when once you pay Dak, and you have to pay 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:36.879 him because he's got that high cap number, so you 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.080 got to get that number down. So the best way 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:40.600 to do it is to go ahead and extend him 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.120 fifty milis it's going to cost you. It's the going 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.200 is the going price, and you got to do it. 0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:52.240 If you're the organization, I think you have to bring 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:52.919 that guy back. 0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:54.840 And I mean, not only has he had one of 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.360 his best years you know in the National Football League 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.399 this year, he's the leader he gets and to me, 0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.400 he's one of the best leaders that I've ever been around. 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:04.720 Got to play with him one year and he's one 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:06.680 of the best leaders I've ever been around. So you 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.840 got to bring a guy back like that. But that's 0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:12.160 what makes in my opinion, that's what makes this year 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:15.280 so important and why you got to get it done 0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:17.200 this year, because when you look at it, like you 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:21.280 just mentioned, down the road, this team might look totally 0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.320 different when you got the you know, Ceedee Lambs of 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.000 Michael Parsons and the Dacks to pay, you know, the 0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.119 pieces that made this team as good as they are now, 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.840 you might not see those guys down the road. So 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:36.119 to me, Dak Prescott is a guy that he can 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.399 make you know, lesser players better than what they go 0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:40.840 what they call that a multiplier. 0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:41.560 He's one of those guys. 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.159 Yeah, he's one of those guys to me that you know, 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.320 you may not have the greatest of options out there, 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.480 but he can make those guys better than what they are. 0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.160 So in that regard, I've got to make that decision 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.160 to pay that man. I mean, at least my opinion, 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:55.960 you got to pay that man. But it's gonna hurt 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.560 the rest of your team around you. And that's why 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:00.880 this year is so important to get the job done. 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:02.920 We said that when he was coming up on the 0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:04.840 end of rookie year. He's about to get paid a 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:09.119 cantown So but you have to pay it with the 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:19.600 friend zone, but you're gonna have to pay. Yeah, we're 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:25.000 in agreement. Look, he's coming. I'm imagining when the MVP 0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:29.120 voting is done, he finishes top five. So I don't 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.640 think anyone should have an issue giving a contract extension 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:36.399 to a quarterback who finished in the MVP race in 0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:38.520 the top five. This is what the going price is 0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:41.320 going to be. Well, we'll see where I settled at it, 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.400 but it's going to be just look for fifty minutes, 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.280 I mean, Calimaria, I him make forty six. This is 0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:50.520 this is what the quarterback market is you now need 0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:53.360 Will McLay to work a lot of magic. Well. 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:58.080 The uncomfortable part about this conversation is when I think 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.359 about quarterbacks in the NFL, I think about them as 0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:01.720 like fortune one hundred companies. 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:04.520 You know, you have your top guys and then on 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:06.160 down from there. 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:11.159 Dak has always been somewhere around the top in those numbers. Obviously, 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.000 last year he gets scrutinized more than any other quarterback 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.720 because of those turnovers. But I think that what he's 0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:19.840 shown you throughout the years coming back from jury, just 0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:23.960 making himself better each and every year. It's hard for 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.280 me to have a conversation with anybody that says don't 0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:31.360 pay him. Like it's almost like even in Denver, even 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:33.840 with everything that's going on with Russ, I'm saying, for who, 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:34.119 for what? 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:35.719 What you're gonna do now? 0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:36.280 You know? 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:38.480 And it's like one of those bad relationships. You have 0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:40.120 ever been in a bad relationship, You know a good 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.680 one when you're in one. And I think this is 0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:45.760 a great relationship for the Dallas Cowboys, especially when you 0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:49.119 have a guy of the status of Dak Prescott. He 0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:52.680 represents this organization very well. But I think the thing 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.480 about Dak now is he's played so nice for so 0:27:56.600 --> 0:28:00.040 many years, is that he has to go out and 0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:04.200 win it to put no question whether he should be 0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:09.240 considered as a fortune one hundred amongst the other quarterbacks 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:10.960 that are out there, because when you look at the 0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:13.240 other guys, the guys that you just mentioned, they don't 0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:14.600 have super Bowl championships. 0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.240 They don't have some of these other quarterbacks. 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:20.160 You know, Russ does, he has won long time ago, 0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.359 but the Josh Allens of the world, the Kyla Murrays 0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:24.520 of the world, they are Herbert Herberts. 0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:26.000 They don't. They've never won Super Bowl. 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.000 And so at this point when Dak is coming back 0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:32.320 and you recognize, especially with Micae's contract coming up, CD's 0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:33.280 contract coming up. 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:34.800 You're gonna have to pay a lot of guys. 0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:37.240 And if you miss this, if you kick the can 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.680 down the road like they did in the past to 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.600 when it was thirty million dollars and they could have 0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.520 got him at thirty or he was like twenty nine, 0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:47.040 like Golfin WinCE who was like twenty seven twenty eight, 0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.280 and it was like nah it wait, and then it 0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:51.520 ended up costing you a lot more than that. This 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:56.080 is that opportunity to obviously make it right, but then 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.800 also signed the other pieces and all the other noise 0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.520 that's associated with Man, you don't need that. 0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.480 You could go Trey Lanz, you could do that to me? 0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:06.280 Is this crazy? 0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:08.479 That's crazy to me because that's why I say, for who, 0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.920 for what? Who are you going to make this decision on? 0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:12.960 And I think that Dak is the guy for the 0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:16.520 Dallas Cowboys going forward until he retires or they get 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:17.360 tired of one another. 0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:20.520 He is the guy to lead this organization to a 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:24.120 Super Bowl. I love what they did with Trey Lance, 0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:29.280 and I say that from the perspective of any good 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.719 team should constantly be trying to make sure they are 0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:37.600 developing someone at that position because we just don't know. 0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:41.000 In the seventeen game schedule, mean, look how many starting 0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:45.560 quarterbacks have this time this year? The Jets, just the Jets. 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:46.720 I mean, just look at the game. We got all 0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:48.080 right behind us here in the studio. We got the 0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:50.520 Browns and the Jets. I mean, what are they now? 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.720 All on three? They're all on at least three different 0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:57.400 four starting quarterbacks. So I just think if you're running 0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:00.280 an organization today and you're not sitting around here having 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:03.720 some young player in the queue that you're trying to 0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.400 work with to say, Okay, you may be you may 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:08.600 be next at some point, even if it's a week 0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:13.360 or two weeks. Look at Minnesota, Minnesota OK thirteen win 0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:15.840 team last year, Kirk Cousins gets hurt. That thing is 0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.120 is falling out of the bottom there. So to me, 0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.840 Dak Prescott, yeah he's here, but you need to be 0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.520 having somebody right behind you working there. And I think 0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.880 Mike's done a great job how they worked with Cooper Rush. 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.160 The Cooper Rush could come in and win some games 0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.320 and they didn't fall off. And Trey Lance needs to 0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.800 be that next guy. But you've got to do that 0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:37.840 in this league because we just see so many clubs 0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.720 that have been decimated, even the Rams, I mean the Rams. 0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:44.640 Stafford's miss time this year. They right, they haven't, you know? 0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:49.920 So San Francisco is the luckiest group of folks we. 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.560 Have no I mean but no, and not that I'm 0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:55.640 not even be a sarcastic. I have no idea who 0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.640 the backup quarterback for the can't see the Chiefs is. 0:30:58.960 --> 0:30:59.560 I don't know them. 0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:01.600 I don't have any idea who he is, and I 0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:03.440 don't care who he is. And you look around the 0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:05.400 league and I think a lot of people would feel 0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.640 the same way. When you're talking about the upper echelon 0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:11.240 of quarterbacks. The rules that they've stipulated put in place 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:13.760 have protected quarterbacks, and we know it. I mean the 0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.680 chances that's really just really bad luck when you get 0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:19.240 your quarterback hurt. And that's why when they bought Trey Lances, 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.600 it was a head scratcher for me because I would 0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:25.760 have liked the linebacker. I would have liked the linebackers 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:29.120 because I think that Cooper Rush, he'd already shown you 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:31.400 that I could be a quality backup. And I think 0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:33.960 when you look at the teams like Cleveland, you know 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.239 they have the defense and all that, but then their 0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.560 main guy gets hurt, the backup guy gets hurt, and 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:39.959 then you have to go out and get a Joe 0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:43.320 flackhole that's on the street that fits perfectly to your scheme. 0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:45.600 That just doesn't happen a lot of times when your 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:47.760 main guy goes down, that's it. You just planning for 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:48.400 next year. 0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:50.880 To I'm just gonna go down the list here, all right. 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:54.840 So in the division, Jalen Hurts been fine. Dak Prescott 0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:56.560 been fine, but we saw a couple of years ago 0:31:56.720 --> 0:32:01.600 gets the Giants broke let Washington that's been a mess. 0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.720 Detroit has been able to get by, been able to 0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:08.360 get by with golf this year. Fine, Minnesota Homeboys down 0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:13.520 Green Bay. Been lucky with Jordan Love here. Chicago Fields 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:16.680 has missed time this year, yes, and probably may not 0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.800 be there next year. Go down to Tampa Bay. It's 0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:24.360 been interesting, but Baker Mayfield may end up being the 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:29.640 comeback player of the year. Atlanta mess, New Orleans, Derek 0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:38.800 carrs Carolina on some regrets going on. San Francisco lucky 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.680 because Jimmy Garoppolo didn't work out. Trey Lands where they 0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:46.560 came through for Rams. Stafford miss time this year. Uh 0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:51.640 Seattle Gino missed some time, but also another unsettled situation 0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:54.560 with Gino missed time this year. Arizona Kyler Murray came 0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:58.640 in hurt playing a little bit now so Miami Tua. 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:01.320 You know, boy, he stayed healthy this year, but the 0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:03.440 last couple of years with him, they've been worried about 0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:07.280 it every time he takes a hit, every time. 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.960 Buffalo you got the horse of Josh Allen. He's held 0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:16.520 up for the Jets. We've seen that New England, everybody 0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:21.200 getting five back to nobody hurt. They just Baltimore Lamar 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.600 Jackson this year. Knock On Wood, but we've seen in 0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:27.080 the past he's had some issues. Cleveland, we already went 0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:31.200 through that. Pittsburgh, your quarterback has been bad. And yeah 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:37.080 that's Cincinnati. Joe Burrow. You know he's out for the year. Jacksonville, 0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:40.280 that's that's not good situation right now. He may not 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.479 even play this year. Talk about Trevor Lawrence, Eddian Appolis. 0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:44.840 You spent that first round pick on Richardson. He's out 0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:48.760 for the year. Houston c J. Stroud, who's having a 0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:52.120 fantastic year. Looks like he may play this week, but 0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.360 he's missed the past couple of games because of concussion. 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:59.280 Tennessee mess mess, but they're going with the dude they 0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:03.120 drafted here. Kansas City got the unicorn. Patrick Mahomes there, 0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:10.880 Las Vegas Jimmy g mess us mess your team and 0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:14.040 charges we have mess But I think it's hurt. But 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.040 Herbert is your guy. He's your guy. But just that 0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:22.360 premiss him in my mind of just developing someone because 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:25.839 of them. We don't know, Yes, Herbert's the guy. Joe 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:29.480 Burrow is the guy. But man, Cincinnati's done a nice 0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:32.080 job with that kid, Jake Brown from Washington that they 0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:35.640 have developed. And to the point, we're not I'm not 0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:38.359 expecting him to compete with Joe Burrow at any point 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:42.120 in time, but you now have a commodity almost in 0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:45.080 a sense what we saw Josh Jobs get traded for draftcast. 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:48.640 And so that's my thing of it is because also 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.480 going back into where McCarthy came from in Green Bay, 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:53.799 were Ron Wolf was always drafting guy, so they were 0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:57.080 able to use a five on Hasselback and move him 0:34:57.120 --> 0:35:00.719 forward too, and move Mark Burnell and move Brooks, who 0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:02.920 Mike McCarthy ended up working within the won a game, 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:06.560 the first ever New Orleans playoff game. Down it, I 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:10.760 just think if your organization, because of how much capital 0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:14.160 you can have, were they quarterback to be constantly working 0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:16.239 with one, and if you cannot use a. 0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:20.160 First round pick, even better, even better? No, I mean 0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:21.520 you bring up a great point. And when you go 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:23.359 through the list of those teams and you talk about 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.160 that's what I'm saying, Like the Fortune one hundred quarterbacks, 0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:29.000 those guys you almost like put them on a separate list. 0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:31.960 And I think Dak has shown you his durability over 0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.399 the years, except for like breaking his leg and half, 0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.919 which was a freak accident, he comes right back from 0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:41.080 it and he's been still just very been durable. I'm 0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:44.000 thumbed four games. But then you have a backup in 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.600 Cooper Rush that you've developed and to be that guy. 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.640 He feels it nicely and I felt good there. All 0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:51.399 I'm saying when I bring up the whole Trey Lance 0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.560 thing is that we need We've needed so much more, 0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:56.520 especially on at the linebacker position, you know. 0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:59.360 And that's why and that's why I spot like that, 0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:01.239 because I thought you already had it. 0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:05.800 And so I say, pay Dak whatever they planned, whatever 0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.040 you're planning it on with with with a man Trey, 0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:12.120 you know whatever. If he's a token for another trade down, 0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:15.279 I'm okay with that. I don't have no problem at 0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.319 all with that. But the focus has to be on Dak. 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.840 He's given you everything, He's shown you everything, especially on 0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.359 the field, and man off the field, Walter Payton man 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:26.719 in the year, come on, Man's nothing. There's nothing that 0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:29.279 you could say about Dak Prescott. If you hating on 0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:30.040 Dak You're just a hater. 0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:30.440 That's it. 0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:33.200 That's all it is. And oh, well he had the interceptions. 0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:35.800 His whole career hadn't been predicated and based off of 0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:40.000 him throwing interceptions. He has thirty touchdowns seven interceptions this year, 0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:42.239 and by far he's gonna have one of his best 0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:45.520 statistical years as far as throwing touchdowns if it all 0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:46.360 done end tonight. 0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:51.920 Basically, I'm a big Bill Walsh believer. And I remember, 0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:54.880 keep in mind, man at this point time won two 0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:57.560 Super Bowls with Joe Montana. And he goes around the 0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:02.280 room to everybody says, hey, guys, we have an opportunity 0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:04.680 to trade for Steve Young. And he asked everybody you 0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:08.680 know around the room, that's all his coaches. Everybody raise 0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:10.399 your hand. Who was a favorite? Nobody raised her hand. 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:18.040 And then he said, yeah, he's coming in, just so 0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:21.200 you know. And and so there he was using capital 0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:24.840 despite having an MVP quarterback, has won two Super Bowls. 0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:29.960 Eventually we saw everybody saw what happened. I'm not saying 0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:33.280 it trays that guy, but what I want is insurance. 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.440 I just believe in the insurance because I can do 0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:40.360 whatever I want to do with it. Remember when Jerry 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:44.400 traded a three for the dude down in Houston? 0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:48.360 Who was he was with Tom Brady Michigan, Drew Henson, 0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:51.960 Oh my god, oh god, Imber Houston. 0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:59.840 They used six. If Trey Lance ends up starting a 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:03.439 couple of preseason games and looks good and can become whatever, 0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:06.120 somebody thinking you can flip him for more than dog, 0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:09.439 gonne at flip him. But having him here, let's seeing 0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:12.080 what he has to me in this league with all 0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:15.720 these issues. If we see this many issues of teams 0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:17.640 this year, we gonna see it again next year. It's 0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:20.560 not gonna go anywhere with these seventeen games. If Mike 0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:25.120 McCarthy and Scott and Scott Tolzy can develop Trey lancon 0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:27.319 to see us if we can see something next year, 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:33.040 who knows, Because you've got to what's the easiest way 0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:38.680 to get a two quarter man? You can trade justin 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:42.160 fields right now. If Chicago trades him, he won't get 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:44.759 a one, He'll get get a two. If he get 0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:48.240 a two, trade gonna get you back trade twenty three exactly. 0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.359 He's twenty three years old. So to me, I would 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:53.000 bet on the long play. All right, we gotta get 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:54.799 a we gotta break here. We've run out of time. 0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:56.840 We have been talking about this stuff here, but ultimately 0:38:56.920 --> 0:38:58.279 back to the whole thing, we all agree that you 0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:00.280 gotta pay Dak it's gonna get fifty million. 0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:03.239 Is still for that same way if he's if he 0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.560 doesn't make a run, has a similar run as he 0:39:05.680 --> 0:39:06.759 did in the playoffs last year. 0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:09.280 Have you got who for what? You got? No option? Okay, 0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:11.439 think that's the thing. You put yourself in. No option 0:39:12.000 --> 0:39:14.359 and your option of Trey Lance is not something I'd 0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:16.600 be willing to bet on right now. Can't do it?
