Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Darry Church,
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae, Hecma Harrison and new he Scruggs.
Speaker 2: Fridays Friday. Friday Friday right here on the players lines. Hi, everybody, Okay?
Speaker 2: Moving in two eight big time Saturday matchup between the lines.
Speaker 2: Who are eleven and four NFC Nord champions, the Dallas
Speaker 2: Cowboys ten and five and they're in the playoffs, still
Speaker 2: trying to wrap up the NFC North. Jimmy Johnson is
Speaker 2: going in. This is a game you simply cannot lose.
Speaker 2: The Vegas Line has the Cowboys winning by six. Hekma
Speaker 2: explain me, young Verry, why this is a game they
Speaker 2: cannot lose.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna say one, it's because of Jimmy going
Speaker 3: into the ring.
Speaker 2: Just that's just it.
Speaker 3: You cannot have an l with Jimmy going into the ring.
Speaker 3: And just man, for me, I'm just gonna talk from
Speaker 3: my experience man as a youngster growing up obviously, you know,
Speaker 3: loving the Cowboys my whole life. They're in the eighties
Speaker 3: when things got really bad around here, late eighties, it
Speaker 3: was ugly. Everybody was down, everybody was broke in the
Speaker 3: Cowboys broke.
Speaker 2: Spirit. Yes, so Reagano, it's time ten.
Speaker 3: But uh, it came down really to when Jimmy Johnson
Speaker 3: took over.
Speaker 2: It was like a culture shift. It was a culture shift.
Speaker 3: At that time because you got a think like you
Speaker 3: had Mike Tyson, you had, you know, all of these
Speaker 3: different things coming all at once. Then you had like,
Speaker 3: um no, the Dame. All of that, like sports entertainment
Speaker 3: like came to a whole nother level. And Jimmy Johnson
Speaker 3: was smack dab in the middle of that, especially with
Speaker 3: those University of Miami teams.
Speaker 2: So when he took over.
Speaker 3: For the Dallas Cowboys, it was crazy like for everybody
Speaker 3: and just what he meant, what he meant coming in
Speaker 3: and the way they got. People respect him and everybody
Speaker 3: revered him as a as a leader. But just the
Speaker 3: guys that he brought in. He wasn't bringing the choir
Speaker 3: boys to the Cowboys. He you know, Mike was already here,
Speaker 3: but he Mike was like a partner catalyst for all
Speaker 3: of that you bring an in it, you bring in Troy,
Speaker 3: you know, you bring in other guy, Charles Haley's coming in,
Speaker 3: like all of the guys that were here in this
Speaker 3: those teams. Man, that really just set things back right
Speaker 3: from from where you were before as an organization. And so, Man,
Speaker 3: I am so happy that this Saturday is happening, but
Speaker 3: happy for Jerry and Jimmy being able to bury a
Speaker 3: hatchet for whatever they had going on.
Speaker 2: I don't even it don't even.
Speaker 3: Matter, just to see two guys put that behind him
Speaker 3: they won a national championship together, but to see him
Speaker 3: finally go into the Ring of Honor. And I think
Speaker 3: that for this team to pull out of victory, Man,
Speaker 3: it would mean every day, it would mean everything. The
Speaker 3: Cowboy fans everywhere, that's you know, everybody. I'm a lifelong
Speaker 3: one man, you know, they love Jimmy. Didn't want to
Speaker 3: see Jimmy leave.
Speaker 2: So no, he can't. He can't lose. Man, cannot lose
Speaker 2: this Saturday. Barry. I'm old enough to have gone to
Speaker 2: the Ring of Honor ceremony in Texas Stadium where Tom
Speaker 2: Landry win Inikes.
Speaker 4: And and so here was Jerry had to work, he
Speaker 4: had to work to get Tom Landry to come come.
Speaker 2: Except this workcause Jerry fired. Jerry fired, Jimmy. I mean
Speaker 2: a little work to get this thing repaired and get
Speaker 2: it done. And and so this is just a second
Speaker 2: head coach to get this honor. This does not happen
Speaker 2: very often. This is something to be at and for
Speaker 2: those who don't know on the players, like heck Ma
Speaker 2: Harrison's uncle is the great mean Joe Green, greatest steeler
Speaker 2: of all time, It's great defensive tackle of all time.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had an opportunity to go back to
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh with him when they've had the old Timers Day? Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: this will be old timers day because Jimmy's people are
Speaker 2: coming the players right thirty years You remember that when
Speaker 2: they walked in there, it was it was like heroes
Speaker 2: gladiators coming in man chills people looking at that's Frank,
Speaker 2: you can't and you and if you're a player, you
Speaker 2: can't go out there and lose on that. If you
Speaker 2: do that, you know they gonna look at you like me.
Speaker 5: You know it.
Speaker 2: You don't want Joe Green looking down his nose at
Speaker 2: you like you've embarrassed me. I'm here, there's there is
Speaker 2: a sense of and that's what a great organization the
Speaker 2: Steelers in the cabin, there's a sense of responsibility. You
Speaker 2: can't come out here and embarrass yourself in front of champions.
Speaker 2: You can't do that, and they won't do it. So
Speaker 2: that's my thing. The Lions are here. But if you're
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, your tangle, if you're anybody who has any
Speaker 2: sense of pride about yourself, you're not about to go
Speaker 2: out here in front of all these people who put
Speaker 2: up the banners at the stadium and honor Jimmy Johnson
Speaker 2: and go get yourself beat you. If you do that,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk about talk about it. If that happens
Speaker 2: on Monday, I will lose it. Man. No, look, you can't.
Speaker 2: You can't, man, you can't when you have greatness that
Speaker 2: walks in there like that and the people that have
Speaker 2: built this very thing that you get your check off.
Speaker 2: This team is the most valuable franchise. It's the most
Speaker 2: popular franchise. It's also the most hated franchise. But it's
Speaker 2: built on what those guys.
Speaker 6: Is it because of a guy that's going in as
Speaker 6: far as Jimmy Johnson, And that's what That's what this
Speaker 6: whole allure hold because if it was like just another player,
Speaker 6: it had been you know, this was this is it.
Speaker 2: You know Jimmy built it. Yeah, Jimmy built this, and
Speaker 2: yet Jerry's money allowed it to happen, and Jerry's ability
Speaker 2: to trust Jimmy when he hired he fired Tom Landry
Speaker 2: for Jimmy. Think about that Hall of Famer Innovader in
Speaker 2: the National Football League. You fired him because you said
Speaker 2: this guy at Miami is the guy. He said Jimmy
Speaker 2: was worth ten for ten heismans. Jimmie was worth inan
Speaker 2: ten heismans. Yeah, this is this is significant when you
Speaker 2: talk about the franchise and literally his name has to
Speaker 2: be up there. Jimmy was so good he left town.
Speaker 2: They hired a dude who never coached in the NFL
Speaker 2: and Barry Switzer, and he won a championship. Yes, the
Speaker 2: first Cowboys game I watch was was Barry Switzer? How
Speaker 2: wild is that? First one?
Speaker 6: I say seven when they when they played against the
Speaker 6: steel because he was the head coach when they played again,
Speaker 6: not even the first game. That was my first game
Speaker 6: I ever watched. Then remember the Jimmy spots. But you
Speaker 6: know Detroit and Dan Campbell. You know what he's gonna
Speaker 6: try to flip it to you. Look, now, they don't
Speaker 6: respect y'all. They put y'all on this date. You know
Speaker 6: that we're gonna go in there. We're gonna spoil this day.
Speaker 6: So they gotta understand this, players that this ain't gonna
Speaker 6: be a walk through. This ain't gonna be just this is.
Speaker 6: This is our homecoming type game. You know, Dan Campbell
Speaker 6: gonna spend that thing we saw last year Detroit. Detroit
Speaker 6: had him.
Speaker 3: That right last year, a fumble, a goal line fumble
Speaker 3: away from actually that making that game a lot closer
Speaker 3: than what it ended up being.
Speaker 2: Right, So so Detroit's not gonna come in here scared.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna come in here we can't beat him.
Speaker 2: They're gonna come in here with the advent of what
Speaker 2: you said. Oh you're gonna have a little party up
Speaker 2: here on this day, and we had you last year.
Speaker 2: Now we come back here, we're North champions. Let us
Speaker 2: show you what we can do. You haven't lost all
Speaker 2: year long after forty games, So yes, damn Campbell's going
Speaker 2: to have that thing set up there. Aaron Glenn, that
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator former Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: But if you're the Cowboys, you can you can't let
Speaker 2: this slip. I mean, you know, Troit men in the booth.
Speaker 2: I want Troy talking about me. Troy already talky. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: they're going to be on you.
Speaker 3: And I'm glad that you you say that, because it's
Speaker 3: not a walk in the park, and by no means
Speaker 3: is Detroit the homecoming opponent that you schedule. The one
Speaker 3: thing that worries me about this matchup is that we
Speaker 3: have one of the youngest teams in the NFL and
Speaker 3: the average age twenty five on the roster, and so
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't make mention of that, so
Speaker 3: it's not a lot of experience. And and with that,
Speaker 3: I always have this conversation with my son a lot
Speaker 3: about being ignorant to history, not knowing the history of things.
Speaker 3: And you talk to a lot of young people, they
Speaker 3: just don't know the history of something, so they can't
Speaker 3: have the same appreciation of it. And I know this
Speaker 3: is the players lounge, so I'll just notice that, noticing
Speaker 3: that the history of it. And I want these guys
Speaker 3: to take this moment in because it is a big
Speaker 3: moment for them and maybe even like a past sing
Speaker 3: of the torch in a way for them, for us
Speaker 3: as an organization, because this next couple of years of
Speaker 3: being Cowboys, you want these guys to lay that same foundation.
Speaker 3: The foundation that I'm talking about is championship level. It's
Speaker 3: not the expectation here isn't going to the playoffs. The
Speaker 3: expectation for the Dallas Cowboys is winning Super Bowls. And
Speaker 3: that's why people have ridiculed and made fun of the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys for the last close to thirty years because
Speaker 3: they haven't sniffed.
Speaker 2: Not even been in the town. You hadn't even been.
Speaker 3: Close, you know, those years that you've gone through those droughts,
Speaker 3: And I think it's lasted so much longer than think
Speaker 3: anybody would have been I know, damn well for me,
Speaker 3: has lasted a lot longer than I would have expected.
Speaker 3: But that's the one thing that worries me. It's just
Speaker 3: the youth and the experience of this team. Do they
Speaker 3: have that same sort of responsibility for feeling like I'm
Speaker 3: responsible for the history of this organization.
Speaker 2: So you bring up a really good point, and this
Speaker 2: is where your head coach comes in, and this is
Speaker 2: also the benefit of your head coach, who spent all
Speaker 2: the over a dozen years in Green Bay understanding this
Speaker 2: is not a regular franchise. It's different here, and so
Speaker 2: I think Mike has done a really nice job in
Speaker 2: terms of understanding what was Green Bay and also understanding
Speaker 2: and embracing what is the Dallas Cavils. But that's where
Speaker 2: your coaching staff comes in. This is where I think
Speaker 2: they're lucky. Dak Prescott is the quarterback who grew up
Speaker 2: a cowboy fan, who has an understanding of what this means.
Speaker 2: And Dak is a very you know, we know, Dak's
Speaker 2: a really mature guys, got his master's degree in leadership
Speaker 2: and organization. So I think they'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2: But most of them, we spoke about this yesterday. You
Speaker 2: don't want three straight laws. You can't do that. And
Speaker 2: this is a playoff team. And if they're going to,
Speaker 2: if they want us to believe the things they say
Speaker 2: will be better, this week, will correct the things and
Speaker 2: let's see it off. Buffalo. They were better, they said,
Speaker 2: especially dan Quinn. We got things to clean up. We'll
Speaker 2: be back. They were better defensively, uh the next week.
Speaker 2: So this is a week where your favorite at home,
Speaker 2: had lost at home. Here's a playoff team, another good
Speaker 2: team coming in here.
Speaker 6: DJA and and also this if they if they take
Speaker 6: an l here. I don't know the you know the
Speaker 6: math behind it, but you're basically out of winning winning
Speaker 6: the NFC East. Is that is that correct? Like if
Speaker 6: Philly wins and they lose this game, you need a
Speaker 6: whole lot. You got to have all types of you know.
Speaker 2: Toddam math all that other stuff.
Speaker 6: So this this could be you know, your final opportunity
Speaker 6: these next two games to lock up the NFC East
Speaker 6: and we all understand what comes to it with that.
Speaker 6: Winning the NFC East you get a home playoff game,
Speaker 6: and we all talked about it for weeks on weeks
Speaker 6: how different this team is at home versus on the row.
Speaker 6: So you got, you know, Jimmy going in, You got
Speaker 6: you know, don't want to go down three games in
Speaker 6: a row. You got you know, NFC East on the line.
Speaker 6: So if you need extra motivation getting into this game
Speaker 6: as a play, I mean, something's wrong with you. You
Speaker 6: gotta get it done, and this is the opportunity to
Speaker 6: do so they gotta be ready for it.
Speaker 3: And I don't and that's the thing for me, Barry,
Speaker 3: for you as a former player, I mean, I think
Speaker 3: you're speaking to what the heartbeat of the locker room
Speaker 3: should be, you know, coming into this matchup, because like
Speaker 3: you said, if you don't win this and then you're
Speaker 3: not giving yourself an opportunity to even have a home game,
Speaker 3: which I think that's what we're kind of hanging a
Speaker 3: hat on, like y'all need a home game, okay, and
Speaker 3: maybe some kind of way miraculously that happens. I just
Speaker 3: feel as though, look, putting all of the pageantry aside,
Speaker 3: this team has lost two games in a row, two
Speaker 3: games that I think that coming into it, you felt
Speaker 3: like those were winnable games based off of where your
Speaker 3: offense was, especially where your defense is, And then you
Speaker 3: look at the rest of the schedule, You look at
Speaker 3: the rest of the league, and you're like, man, Philly lost.
Speaker 3: You know, these seems the forty nine ers loss. You
Speaker 3: missed the opportunity by losing those games because you could
Speaker 3: have changed your own the number one of them would
Speaker 3: be number one on overall, and you went up against
Speaker 3: some really tough opponents. But I just I'm going back
Speaker 3: to the fact that the Lions or a formidable opponent
Speaker 3: that you're facing here at home, probably the best that
Speaker 3: you've seen at home all season. And this is another
Speaker 3: test for you as a team going into the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I just don't want to and I know that you've
Speaker 3: heard this before as a former Dallas Cowboy, not limping
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. You know, don't limp into the playoffs.
Speaker 3: You got an opportunity to get that number one seed,
Speaker 3: or get that by take advantage of it. Get it
Speaker 3: because you needed to get an opportunity to be healthy.
Speaker 3: And we've seen those little knicks start to happen to
Speaker 3: our team with health right here at the end. But
Speaker 3: I think bigger than anything, getting a winning streak going
Speaker 3: at the end of the season, that could be the
Speaker 3: catalyst to get you through the rest of this and
Speaker 3: hopefully get you to the NFC Championship.
Speaker 2: This is a team we all right here on the players'
Speaker 2: lounge agree, is a good team and a physical football team. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm on Detroit, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. This
Speaker 2: is a good team coming in here. Show something, yeah,
Speaker 2: show something. Lost the last two weeks. You ain't got
Speaker 2: embarrassed against Buffalo, lost close to Miami, win when I
Speaker 2: mean the next two games should be wins. Now. Obviously,
Speaker 2: well Washington will be as it always is at the end.
Speaker 2: It'll be a determining factor of what is it they
Speaker 2: want to do and where seatings and things are set.
Speaker 2: But this is a game you need to win, and
Speaker 2: if they don't win, Cowboy fans should be upset.
Speaker 6: I would know should be upset because when you look
Speaker 6: at it, like we said, have you lose this game,
Speaker 6: that's three in a row and we just talked about
Speaker 6: limping into the playoffs, it's a real thing.
Speaker 2: It's a real thing.
Speaker 6: You know, people say it's all coach talk, but it's
Speaker 6: a real thing. If you lose three in a row,
Speaker 6: that momentum, it's a son of a gun. We all
Speaker 6: understand that. So getting this victory here because like you said,
Speaker 6: next week, who knows what the seating, what you're gonna do,
Speaker 6: resting players, not resting players, who knows what's going on?
Speaker 2: This is your.
Speaker 6: Final real in my opinion, big time tests as a
Speaker 6: Dallas because look at the test they've had so far.
Speaker 6: You know, Philly twice one, San Francisco they lost that test.
Speaker 6: Good team, good team Buffalo, Miami they lost those two.
Speaker 6: So this is an opportunity, man, to not only help
Speaker 6: your team out as far as standing wise, but get
Speaker 6: that confidence on the right on the right track.
Speaker 2: So heck, very just picking up what you said. You
Speaker 2: stay right here at your spot, you're probably gonna end
Speaker 2: up five if you stay. That's Tampa. Tampa has won
Speaker 2: four straight games in a row, and now they get
Speaker 2: New Orleans at home, and then they end the year
Speaker 2: against Carolina. So they're playing good football. They are. They
Speaker 2: could end up right now, they're eight and seven. They
Speaker 2: could end up ten and seven on a nice little
Speaker 2: run at five straight games if they do it against
Speaker 2: that team, so that it'd be six straight if they
Speaker 2: finished it up. So so what I thought was, hey,
Speaker 2: now you're looking at that, Okay, all right, So yeah,
Speaker 2: they need to go ahead and figure some things out here.
Speaker 2: And this is the week to do man.
Speaker 3: This is the last Friday of the year. Man, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna sit in here with the four our thousands.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do it. I would say, not the
Speaker 3: four our thousands, not today, man, because I think you know,
Speaker 3: the Cowboys slipped up, but that doesn't make them a
Speaker 3: bad team. They well, we never said that and I'm
Speaker 3: not accusing you of saying that. What I'm where I'm
Speaker 3: going with this is it's time for you to go
Speaker 3: ahead and put this part of whatever the narrative is.
Speaker 3: Y'all sawt y'all can't play on the road, y'all can't
Speaker 3: do this and that. Okay, y'all don't want to see
Speaker 3: us either. How many people are saying we don't want
Speaker 3: to see the Cowboys?
Speaker 2: Now? Are they saying that in Tampa?
Speaker 3: Are they saying in Tampa we don't want the Cowboys
Speaker 3: at home? Because Micah and company, Deron Bland is gonna
Speaker 3: come in here, and that's gonna be a tough that's
Speaker 3: gonna be a tough opponent for us to go up
Speaker 3: against at home. I don't hear those rumors. I don't
Speaker 3: hear those murmurs going around but for the Cowboys, and
Speaker 3: it's been this way over the last couple of seasons,
Speaker 3: or we don't want to see the forty nine ers
Speaker 3: at this point, we don't want to see boy if
Speaker 3: we just get it just right, man, the only way.
Speaker 2: Through this is through it. It's gonna be tough, regardless,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be man.
Speaker 3: Come on, you and I always go back to your
Speaker 3: experience in the AFC Championship, because I think that's the
Speaker 3: toughest thing to do, is to get to the point,
Speaker 3: to be one game away from actually going to the
Speaker 3: super Bowl. There's so many guys that's played this game
Speaker 3: that's never even been there, and so for this young
Speaker 3: team to have an opportunity and realize, man, we got
Speaker 3: we got everything that we need to get to that point.
Speaker 3: How many teams are saying we don't want to see
Speaker 3: the Cowboys? That's my question because if we're the one saying, oh, man,
Speaker 3: you know Tampa, Baker Mayfield, they're looking really good right now.
Speaker 3: They want like three in a row already, do you
Speaker 3: really want to go to Tampa and see them?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see them. You want to smoke?
Speaker 2: I want all to smoke. Yes, I want to see them.
Speaker 2: They don't want to see us. Gotta have that mentality.
Speaker 2: What other mentality can you have? Be see? Gotta have
Speaker 2: what stands in the way it becomes the way? Come on,
Speaker 2: hit our first break in let's do it. Barry brought
Speaker 2: up something back that killing them skittles soon today? Hate
Speaker 2: that sound? Hain't that song? After all this time? After
Speaker 2: that one Dennis appointment. Now look at him, boy Danny,

Speaker 2: were like, oh my gosh, he's not worth forty. Yes,
Speaker 2: today's prices, not today's. It is not that Joe went
Speaker 2: up ten million dollars and only fifty million dollars, so

Speaker 2: is not coming in here trying to take the average price.
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb won't get paid. You've got Michael Parsons, he's
Speaker 2: got to get paid. He's he's coming up. Tyler Beattish
Speaker 2: is coming up. Trayvon Diggs already got paid. They actually
Speaker 2: got a good deal there. They got a nice deal there.
Speaker 6: So as far as Tyler Smith out, Tyler still got
Speaker 6: yeah years, yeah, two years, okay, okay, yeah, land same thing.
Speaker 2: So but but Tyler Smith you're going to get three
Speaker 2: because he was the first run.
Speaker 3: He'll get that fifty. And that's the only reason why
Speaker 3: I bring up blame is that he doesn't have Yes.
Speaker 2: He's two years he's two years away, So yes, paying
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. As all these teams who decide to pay
Speaker 2: their quarterbacks, such as Russell Wilson, you're you're now going
Speaker 2: to be limited as to what you can do with
Speaker 2: the rest of your roster. And the Cowboys are at
Speaker 2: that point in time where they've got to sit around
Speaker 2: here think about, Okay, what do we do. We've spoken
Speaker 2: about Michael Gallup, who got paid. Michael Gallup is clearly
Speaker 2: your number three receiver here. Four it might be Bold, Yeah, Ferguson,
Speaker 2: he cooks. You can't keep paying him over ten million dollars?
Speaker 7: Can?
Speaker 2: You simply cannot do that. It's not justifiable when you
Speaker 2: look at the economics here. So you've got that Tyler
Speaker 2: beatis your center is up pro bowler? What are you
Speaker 2: going to pro bowler? What are you going to pay him?
Speaker 2: Versus do you decide to say, let's go into the
Speaker 2: draft or let's bring it free. I mean, these are
Speaker 2: the kinds of decisions you've got to make here, because
Speaker 2: when once you pay Dak, and you have to pay
Speaker 2: him because he's got that high cap number, so you
Speaker 2: got to get that number down. So the best way
Speaker 2: to do it is to go ahead and extend him
Speaker 2: fifty milis it's going to cost you. It's the going
Speaker 2: is the going price, and you got to do it.
Speaker 2: If you're the organization, I think you have to bring
Speaker 2: that guy back.
Speaker 6: And I mean, not only has he had one of
Speaker 6: his best years you know in the National Football League
Speaker 6: this year, he's the leader he gets and to me,
Speaker 6: he's one of the best leaders that I've ever been around.
Speaker 6: Got to play with him one year and he's one
Speaker 6: of the best leaders I've ever been around. So you
Speaker 6: got to bring a guy back like that. But that's
Speaker 6: what makes in my opinion, that's what makes this year
Speaker 6: so important and why you got to get it done
Speaker 6: this year, because when you look at it, like you
Speaker 6: just mentioned, down the road, this team might look totally
Speaker 6: different when you got the you know, Ceedee Lambs of
Speaker 6: Michael Parsons and the Dacks to pay, you know, the
Speaker 6: pieces that made this team as good as they are now,
Speaker 6: you might not see those guys down the road. So
Speaker 6: to me, Dak Prescott is a guy that he can
Speaker 6: make you know, lesser players better than what they go
Speaker 6: what they call that a multiplier.
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's one of those guys to me that you know,
Speaker 6: you may not have the greatest of options out there,
Speaker 6: but he can make those guys better than what they are.
Speaker 6: So in that regard, I've got to make that decision
Speaker 6: to pay that man. I mean, at least my opinion,
Speaker 6: you got to pay that man. But it's gonna hurt
Speaker 6: the rest of your team around you. And that's why
Speaker 6: this year is so important to get the job done.
Speaker 2: We said that when he was coming up on the
Speaker 2: end of rookie year. He's about to get paid a
Speaker 2: cantown So but you have to pay it with the
Speaker 2: friend zone, but you're gonna have to pay. Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: in agreement. Look, he's coming. I'm imagining when the MVP
Speaker 2: voting is done, he finishes top five. So I don't
Speaker 2: think anyone should have an issue giving a contract extension
Speaker 2: to a quarterback who finished in the MVP race in
Speaker 2: the top five. This is what the going price is
Speaker 2: going to be. Well, we'll see where I settled at it,
Speaker 2: but it's going to be just look for fifty minutes,
Speaker 2: I mean, Calimaria, I him make forty six. This is
Speaker 2: this is what the quarterback market is you now need
Speaker 2: Will McLay to work a lot of magic. Well.
Speaker 3: The uncomfortable part about this conversation is when I think
Speaker 3: about quarterbacks in the NFL, I think about them as
Speaker 3: like fortune one hundred companies.
Speaker 2: You know, you have your top guys and then on
Speaker 2: down from there.
Speaker 3: Dak has always been somewhere around the top in those numbers. Obviously,
Speaker 3: last year he gets scrutinized more than any other quarterback
Speaker 3: because of those turnovers. But I think that what he's
Speaker 3: shown you throughout the years coming back from jury, just
Speaker 3: making himself better each and every year. It's hard for
Speaker 3: me to have a conversation with anybody that says don't
Speaker 3: pay him. Like it's almost like even in Denver, even
Speaker 3: with everything that's going on with Russ, I'm saying, for who,
Speaker 3: for what?
Speaker 2: What you're gonna do now?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 3: And it's like one of those bad relationships. You have
Speaker 3: ever been in a bad relationship, You know a good
Speaker 3: one when you're in one. And I think this is
Speaker 3: a great relationship for the Dallas Cowboys, especially when you
Speaker 3: have a guy of the status of Dak Prescott. He
Speaker 3: represents this organization very well. But I think the thing
Speaker 3: about Dak now is he's played so nice for so
Speaker 3: many years, is that he has to go out and
Speaker 3: win it to put no question whether he should be
Speaker 3: considered as a fortune one hundred amongst the other quarterbacks
Speaker 3: that are out there, because when you look at the
Speaker 3: other guys, the guys that you just mentioned, they don't
Speaker 3: have super Bowl championships.
Speaker 2: They don't have some of these other quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: You know, Russ does, he has won long time ago,
Speaker 3: but the Josh Allens of the world, the Kyla Murrays
Speaker 3: of the world, they are Herbert Herberts.
Speaker 2: They don't. They've never won Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: And so at this point when Dak is coming back
Speaker 3: and you recognize, especially with Micae's contract coming up, CD's
Speaker 3: contract coming up.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to pay a lot of guys.
Speaker 3: And if you miss this, if you kick the can
Speaker 3: down the road like they did in the past to
Speaker 3: when it was thirty million dollars and they could have
Speaker 3: got him at thirty or he was like twenty nine,
Speaker 3: like Golfin WinCE who was like twenty seven twenty eight,
Speaker 3: and it was like nah it wait, and then it
Speaker 3: ended up costing you a lot more than that. This
Speaker 3: is that opportunity to obviously make it right, but then
Speaker 3: also signed the other pieces and all the other noise
Speaker 3: that's associated with Man, you don't need that.
Speaker 2: You could go Trey Lanz, you could do that to me?
Speaker 2: Is this crazy?
Speaker 3: That's crazy to me because that's why I say, for who,
Speaker 3: for what? Who are you going to make this decision on?
Speaker 3: And I think that Dak is the guy for the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys going forward until he retires or they get
Speaker 3: tired of one another.
Speaker 2: He is the guy to lead this organization to a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I love what they did with Trey Lance,
Speaker 2: and I say that from the perspective of any good
Speaker 2: team should constantly be trying to make sure they are
Speaker 2: developing someone at that position because we just don't know.
Speaker 2: In the seventeen game schedule, mean, look how many starting
Speaker 2: quarterbacks have this time this year? The Jets, just the Jets.
Speaker 2: I mean, just look at the game. We got all
Speaker 2: right behind us here in the studio. We got the
Speaker 2: Browns and the Jets. I mean, what are they now?
Speaker 2: All on three? They're all on at least three different
Speaker 2: four starting quarterbacks. So I just think if you're running
Speaker 2: an organization today and you're not sitting around here having
Speaker 2: some young player in the queue that you're trying to
Speaker 2: work with to say, Okay, you may be you may
Speaker 2: be next at some point, even if it's a week
Speaker 2: or two weeks. Look at Minnesota, Minnesota OK thirteen win
Speaker 2: team last year, Kirk Cousins gets hurt. That thing is
Speaker 2: is falling out of the bottom there. So to me,
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, yeah he's here, but you need to be
Speaker 2: having somebody right behind you working there. And I think
Speaker 2: Mike's done a great job how they worked with Cooper Rush.
Speaker 2: The Cooper Rush could come in and win some games
Speaker 2: and they didn't fall off. And Trey Lance needs to
Speaker 2: be that next guy. But you've got to do that
Speaker 2: in this league because we just see so many clubs
Speaker 2: that have been decimated, even the Rams, I mean the Rams.
Speaker 2: Stafford's miss time this year. They right, they haven't, you know?
Speaker 2: So San Francisco is the luckiest group of folks we.
Speaker 3: Have no I mean but no, and not that I'm
Speaker 3: not even be a sarcastic. I have no idea who
Speaker 3: the backup quarterback for the can't see the Chiefs is.
Speaker 2: I don't know them.
Speaker 3: I don't have any idea who he is, and I
Speaker 3: don't care who he is. And you look around the
Speaker 3: league and I think a lot of people would feel
Speaker 3: the same way. When you're talking about the upper echelon
Speaker 3: of quarterbacks. The rules that they've stipulated put in place
Speaker 3: have protected quarterbacks, and we know it. I mean the
Speaker 3: chances that's really just really bad luck when you get
Speaker 3: your quarterback hurt. And that's why when they bought Trey Lances,
Speaker 3: it was a head scratcher for me because I would
Speaker 3: have liked the linebacker. I would have liked the linebackers
Speaker 3: because I think that Cooper Rush, he'd already shown you
Speaker 3: that I could be a quality backup. And I think
Speaker 3: when you look at the teams like Cleveland, you know
Speaker 3: they have the defense and all that, but then their
Speaker 3: main guy gets hurt, the backup guy gets hurt, and
Speaker 3: then you have to go out and get a Joe
Speaker 3: flackhole that's on the street that fits perfectly to your scheme.
Speaker 3: That just doesn't happen a lot of times when your
Speaker 3: main guy goes down, that's it. You just planning for
Speaker 3: next year.
Speaker 2: To I'm just gonna go down the list here, all right.
Speaker 2: So in the division, Jalen Hurts been fine. Dak Prescott
Speaker 2: been fine, but we saw a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: gets the Giants broke let Washington that's been a mess.
Speaker 2: Detroit has been able to get by, been able to
Speaker 2: get by with golf this year. Fine, Minnesota Homeboys down
Speaker 2: Green Bay. Been lucky with Jordan Love here. Chicago Fields
Speaker 2: has missed time this year, yes, and probably may not
Speaker 2: be there next year. Go down to Tampa Bay. It's
Speaker 2: been interesting, but Baker Mayfield may end up being the
Speaker 2: comeback player of the year. Atlanta mess, New Orleans, Derek
Speaker 2: carrs Carolina on some regrets going on. San Francisco lucky
Speaker 2: because Jimmy Garoppolo didn't work out. Trey Lands where they
Speaker 2: came through for Rams. Stafford miss time this year. Uh
Speaker 2: Seattle Gino missed some time, but also another unsettled situation
Speaker 2: with Gino missed time this year. Arizona Kyler Murray came
Speaker 2: in hurt playing a little bit now so Miami Tua.
Speaker 3: You know, boy, he stayed healthy this year, but the
Speaker 3: last couple of years with him, they've been worried about
Speaker 3: it every time he takes a hit, every time.
Speaker 2: Buffalo you got the horse of Josh Allen. He's held
Speaker 2: up for the Jets. We've seen that New England, everybody
Speaker 2: getting five back to nobody hurt. They just Baltimore Lamar
Speaker 2: Jackson this year. Knock On Wood, but we've seen in
Speaker 2: the past he's had some issues. Cleveland, we already went
Speaker 2: through that. Pittsburgh, your quarterback has been bad. And yeah
Speaker 2: that's Cincinnati. Joe Burrow. You know he's out for the year. Jacksonville,
Speaker 2: that's that's not good situation right now. He may not
Speaker 2: even play this year. Talk about Trevor Lawrence, Eddian Appolis.
Speaker 2: You spent that first round pick on Richardson. He's out
Speaker 2: for the year. Houston c J. Stroud, who's having a
Speaker 2: fantastic year. Looks like he may play this week, but
Speaker 2: he's missed the past couple of games because of concussion.
Speaker 2: Tennessee mess mess, but they're going with the dude they
Speaker 2: drafted here. Kansas City got the unicorn. Patrick Mahomes there,
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Jimmy g mess us mess your team and
Speaker 2: charges we have mess But I think it's hurt. But
Speaker 2: Herbert is your guy. He's your guy. But just that
Speaker 2: premiss him in my mind of just developing someone because
Speaker 2: of them. We don't know, Yes, Herbert's the guy. Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow is the guy. But man, Cincinnati's done a nice
Speaker 2: job with that kid, Jake Brown from Washington that they
Speaker 2: have developed. And to the point, we're not I'm not
Speaker 2: expecting him to compete with Joe Burrow at any point
Speaker 2: in time, but you now have a commodity almost in
Speaker 2: a sense what we saw Josh Jobs get traded for draftcast.
Speaker 2: And so that's my thing of it is because also
Speaker 2: going back into where McCarthy came from in Green Bay,
Speaker 2: were Ron Wolf was always drafting guy, so they were
Speaker 2: able to use a five on Hasselback and move him
Speaker 2: forward too, and move Mark Burnell and move Brooks, who
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy ended up working within the won a game,
Speaker 2: the first ever New Orleans playoff game. Down it, I
Speaker 2: just think if your organization, because of how much capital
Speaker 2: you can have, were they quarterback to be constantly working
Speaker 2: with one, and if you cannot use a.
Speaker 3: First round pick, even better, even better? No, I mean
Speaker 3: you bring up a great point. And when you go
Speaker 3: through the list of those teams and you talk about
Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying, Like the Fortune one hundred quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: those guys you almost like put them on a separate list.
Speaker 3: And I think Dak has shown you his durability over
Speaker 3: the years, except for like breaking his leg and half,
Speaker 3: which was a freak accident, he comes right back from
Speaker 3: it and he's been still just very been durable. I'm
Speaker 3: thumbed four games. But then you have a backup in
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush that you've developed and to be that guy.
Speaker 3: He feels it nicely and I felt good there. All
Speaker 3: I'm saying when I bring up the whole Trey Lance
Speaker 3: thing is that we need We've needed so much more,
Speaker 3: especially on at the linebacker position, you know.
Speaker 2: And that's why and that's why I spot like that,
Speaker 2: because I thought you already had it.
Speaker 3: And so I say, pay Dak whatever they planned, whatever
Speaker 3: you're planning it on with with with a man Trey,
Speaker 3: you know whatever. If he's a token for another trade down,
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that. I don't have no problem at
Speaker 3: all with that. But the focus has to be on Dak.
Speaker 3: He's given you everything, He's shown you everything, especially on
Speaker 3: the field, and man off the field, Walter Payton man
Speaker 3: in the year, come on, Man's nothing. There's nothing that
Speaker 3: you could say about Dak Prescott. If you hating on
Speaker 3: Dak You're just a hater.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 3: That's all it is. And oh, well he had the interceptions.
Speaker 3: His whole career hadn't been predicated and based off of
Speaker 3: him throwing interceptions. He has thirty touchdowns seven interceptions this year,
Speaker 3: and by far he's gonna have one of his best
Speaker 3: statistical years as far as throwing touchdowns if it all
Speaker 3: done end tonight.
Speaker 2: Basically, I'm a big Bill Walsh believer. And I remember,
Speaker 2: keep in mind, man at this point time won two
Speaker 2: Super Bowls with Joe Montana. And he goes around the
Speaker 2: room to everybody says, hey, guys, we have an opportunity
Speaker 2: to trade for Steve Young. And he asked everybody you
Speaker 2: know around the room, that's all his coaches. Everybody raise
Speaker 2: your hand. Who was a favorite? Nobody raised her hand.
Speaker 2: And then he said, yeah, he's coming in, just so
Speaker 2: you know. And and so there he was using capital
Speaker 2: despite having an MVP quarterback, has won two Super Bowls.
Speaker 2: Eventually we saw everybody saw what happened. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: it trays that guy, but what I want is insurance.
Speaker 2: I just believe in the insurance because I can do
Speaker 2: whatever I want to do with it. Remember when Jerry
Speaker 2: traded a three for the dude down in Houston?
Speaker 3: Who was he was with Tom Brady Michigan, Drew Henson,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, oh god, Imber Houston.
Speaker 2: They used six. If Trey Lance ends up starting a
Speaker 2: couple of preseason games and looks good and can become whatever,
Speaker 2: somebody thinking you can flip him for more than dog,
Speaker 2: gonne at flip him. But having him here, let's seeing
Speaker 2: what he has to me in this league with all
Speaker 2: these issues. If we see this many issues of teams
Speaker 2: this year, we gonna see it again next year. It's
Speaker 2: not gonna go anywhere with these seventeen games. If Mike
Speaker 2: McCarthy and Scott and Scott Tolzy can develop Trey lancon
Speaker 2: to see us if we can see something next year,
Speaker 2: who knows, Because you've got to what's the easiest way
Speaker 2: to get a two quarter man? You can trade justin
Speaker 2: fields right now. If Chicago trades him, he won't get
Speaker 2: a one, He'll get get a two. If he get
Speaker 2: a two, trade gonna get you back trade twenty three exactly.
Speaker 2: He's twenty three years old. So to me, I would
Speaker 2: bet on the long play. All right, we gotta get
Speaker 2: a we gotta break here. We've run out of time.
Speaker 2: We have been talking about this stuff here, but ultimately
Speaker 2: back to the whole thing, we all agree that you
Speaker 2: gotta pay Dak it's gonna get fifty million.
Speaker 6: Is still for that same way if he's if he
Speaker 6: doesn't make a run, has a similar run as he
Speaker 6: did in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 2: Have you got who for what? You got? No option? Okay,
Speaker 2: think that's the thing. You put yourself in. No option
Speaker 2: and your option of Trey Lance is not something I'd
Speaker 2: be willing to bet on right now. Can't do it? Yeah,
