0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 1>on five They some good stuff. And then to your right,

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>my left is my buddy from our show Hanging with

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the Boys? Name are you doing? Are you grumpy Nate today?

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying all I'm saying, I'm gonna be quiet. That's

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>that's a lie. One more day until what Yeah, you

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>said that when you got these the new head coach

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Dallas Cowboy Man, tell them who that is?

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett for life? Jason Garrett for life? Y'all know

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>something we don't know? Or is that just a prediction?

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I know? Why would you for this man that you

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>care so much about and and you're letting him say

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>all of his farewells? That was the rumor at the

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the week, and then it went to he

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>was hugging people and getting numbers and he guess what

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>that was on Monday, then Tuesday, and then Wednesday. We're

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>just gonna take off because it is important to find it.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not important to find a head coach or left

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the head coach that you care so much about. Go

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>find another job, because every day is pretty important when

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>you were unemployed, especially in the NFL, because there's only

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a certain amount of jobs. Right now, you're meeting with

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>this man again all this just to fire him on

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Thursday or Friday. I don't buy it. They're not gonna

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>fire him. They don't be the coach, they don't have to.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna let him go. You can't convince me

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that anything that's happened this week changes anything. Honestly, you can't.

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean and listen, I could be wrong. Nobody. The

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>one thing I know is that literally nobody knows what's

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>going on. That's true unless your name is love and

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I don't. I love it. I'm ready

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>for because all these people that they know what's going on,

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they're reporting, and then they're backtracking, and then this has happened.

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>No way that didn't have I love it. I love Yeah.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I saw a gift. Somebody replied to somebody with a

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>guy on a bicycle going backwards in the circle, that's

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of where we are right now. Suck. It sucked

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>for you too, because you guys have to write stories

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>about the end of the season anything, but you can't

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>really do anything until this cloud that's hanging over the

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>star out here sitting here in limbo, mate, mates, like

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any of you, just for the first

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>time on the same page. Yeah, that didn't happen. Often

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't hardly ever, hardly ever. I just want to hear

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>what you two guys. Well, I do have some news today. Okay, okay,

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>oh god, Cowboys signed Clayton come on future contract, Come on,

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>but keep your duties waiting responsibility and second guys to

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the reserve future lists. The season ended. I'm just trying

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep that is it's it's fascinating because, yeah, that's

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the type of stuff that happens in January when you're

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>not in the playoffs, and normally it's worth talking about.

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>But forgive me, I'm no offense to Clayton Thorson, but

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I just don't really care until we know who's going

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to be coaching. What position does he play at? Quarterback?

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>He's quarterback? Is he number five? Yes? Yes, the guy

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that we had in camp. They know he didn't come

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to camp. They signed him after the Sea he would work.

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Who did we sign I thought for real? No, he

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>was the practice squad quarterback squirrel. He was drafted by

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles. They cut him after training camp. He's been

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.359
<v Speaker 1>here all year. They like him a lot, and they

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>signed him so they can keep him around. We just

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know who his coach is going to be. Okay,

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>my point was to piggyback off what you said. Nobody

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>knows what's going on. It's for sure we do people, No,

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>we don't need which here's and here's the thing, Like

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I get it, and there's a lot of people that

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>are following y'all's train of thought. This is actually business

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>as usual, it really is. Last year, offense is terrible.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>They had a bad game in the Division round of

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. Obviously the defense didn't play well either. That's

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 1>not the point. Everybody Scott Scotlandhan's public enemy number one.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's convinced he's got to go. Did it happen Monday? No?

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Did it happen Tuesday? No? Wednesday, Thursday? It happened that week.

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>It finally happened on Friday, Your coordinator a little bit

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>different than about coach. How about the quarterback? How about

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Tony Romo? He gets benched for Dak Prescott. Everybody, I mean,

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>his time with the Cowboys is done any day now.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna cut him, They're gonna trade him all through January.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>When did that finally happen April? April? How about Dez Bryant, like,

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>let's not act like this. Let's not act let's not

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>act like this is unusual your head coach it, why

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>do you need three meetings with him just to be like, Okay,

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what what went wrong this season? Thank you, coach? Okay,

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.239
<v Speaker 1>three days of that. You could convince me that they're

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>doing it to get the conversation at a fever pitch,

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>which is kind to what's happening right now. I mean,

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>does that not sound like something the Cowboys would do.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a theory this may bring it completely insane. Okay,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it probably is. I pitched us a few of these

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 1>this week. Yeah, and none of them have been proven

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.799
<v Speaker 1>wrong yet. No, you're right, Yeah, you're right. Okay. Here's

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>my theory. I think that from from mister Jones's comments

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that he made towards the end of the year, especially

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the season, about really having to

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>reevaluate a lot of different things on different levels. I

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think what these meetings are is there in a room

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>just like say, if you're a CEO of a company, right,

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and which he is, and you know your company hasn't

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>been performing well and you want to haven't right, and

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to figure out what can we do as

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>an organization and a company to get better. I'm going

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to call in the CEO. Right, I'm the owner of

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>this company. I'm going to call them the CEO, and say,

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>where did we Where did we mess up as as ownership?

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Where we where do we have our hands in the

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>cookie jar too much? Where do we not have enough?

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Where did we not allow you to do certain things

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>for the next person that comes in? How do we

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>fix that? How do we make it a better situation

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>for them? How do we get better as an organization?

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>We want you to walk us through this. And as

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you start walking through these things, and you start saying, hey,

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>this is I would have done this, and then here's

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the result, and this is a domino effect, and this

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>is what would have happened, and this would have gotten

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>better in this area. And you and as you're having

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>these conversations, you start going, you know what, damn, if

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we'd have done that, this wouldn't happen, If this wouldn't happen,

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we'd have been better on offense, if we wouldn't have

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>done this, this this would have been better here here, here, here, here,

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>And all of a sudden, you need a third day

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to talk about this, because you start talking yourself into

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what, if we give this one more try

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>one more try and do it the right way, the

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>way that this person is telling me they can succeed.

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's go do it. Let's get in here and figure

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>out how to make it happen. That's my theory. Shouldn't

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>have been a conversation that happened last year when Garrett

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>was coming up on the last year of his contract.

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Needed new offensive coordinator, needed, you know, not how many

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>coaches have they hired over the last two years, replaced

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the whole staff. You would assume you would assume, we

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but you would assume they gave Jason Garrett

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of input on That makes an ass out

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>of you and me. One thing Jerry has said towards

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season or near at the end

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of the season, was, you know, he ultimately put that

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>staff together, like final sign off on the assistance and

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the roles and those things in conjunction with Jason Garrett.

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>And he said, I'd take some blame on you know,

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>we had some inexperience on the staff. And he talked

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>about youth on the staff being a good thing well.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Ultimately it didn't work out in a playoff Berth. So

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>he's taking some blame and some ownership of why things

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't go well. Now is that part of the discussion

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>this week? What could they have done different? He does

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that anyway, though, like Jy, Jerry is not afraid of criticism.

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he like he uses himself as a lightning

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>rod a lot because he can handle it. I guess

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean that much. I guess my point is

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.839
<v Speaker 1>he's pointing all the blame at Jason Garrett. I think

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that has happened is ever since

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>probably Thanksgiving when they lost to Buffalo, everybody just assumed

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>he was gone, just assumed, and not only would he

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>be gone, it would be the day after, right, and

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody knows a minute after. Just be mocking y'all. Great points.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, like around nobody knows other than the

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Joneses and maybe Jason too, what's gonna happen here. Nobody

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>has had with complete certainty what's going to happen until

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones makes a decision and announces it. Sure, And

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>that's why I don't think anything you throughout any theory

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you want but I don't until it happens, right. I

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>mean the guys on the one to five three of

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the fan I said last week, they said, so you're

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>saying he had made his mind about Jason. Yes, I don't.

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know for sure because Jerry has not said

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>anything and he and he said after the game nothing

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>was off the table. And this is a man who's

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>been in the organization for ten years and there's a

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>close bond there. Let me let me say this. Yes,

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>mister dude, you've been kind of quiet. Yeah, because I'm

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>loving it. I'm loving it. I wish I have. I

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>loved being being being because hell man, listen to me here, sir. Yeah,

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>just checking to see if theories have been proven right around. Yes,

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm laughing because the goal was clear and simple from

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>both the owner and his son NFC Championship. All else

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>is off. That was the goal. Thing. There's one for

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you there, But that was If that was the goal,

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 1>why is Jason still here? It's mystifying. I don't have

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>an answer for you. Let me ask you this day.

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>If that's not my theory, If that's not what's going on? What? What?

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>What are they talking about? Over three days? What can't

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you your thoughts? So I really I don't know if

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I had to guess again, And you know what, I

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>hear what you're saying. It's like people assumed it was

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. If you're smart, I would hope you

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>realize better than that. Because the Cowboys have a track record.

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking about this again. He's not under contract.

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have to be fired to go away. It

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>can just run out, Kyle, Kyle, it can just run out.

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>They could be they could be asking Jason for his

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>input on why things went wrong. They could be talking

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 1>to Jason about what can we do to help you

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>with your next landing spot? Setting things up well for you?

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>They can I mean, there's nothing stopping them from investigating

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>people they want to talk to. We haven't heard anything

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>concrete about that. That doesn't mean it's not happening exactly,

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.199
<v Speaker 1>And so it could be a lot of different things.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>It could be a ton and and just for the record,

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>for all I know, they could be talking about bringing back.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>But there's a million things that it could be that

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily mean he's getting announced as having an extension tomorrow.

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Made It could be a two dozen different things. Okay, okay,

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 1>but you bring up a good point ding that the

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>fact that he is has an expiring contract, the coach

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>has an expiring contract. You don't have to, I think

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody's waiting on this announcements. Have to make an announcement,

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you have down a press conference or a press release

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>or anything. What do we do in free agency when

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>when guys are free agents on the roster right off

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>into the site just walk away. Cowboys don't announce when

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>a free agent leaves the team. They announce when a

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>new one comes in. So there will be at have

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to really talk about this, you know, and if they

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>don't all waiting for them too, and because it help

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>us out on this show, but we don't, you know,

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing new to talk about it because this contracts

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.319
<v Speaker 1>through what January fourteenth, that's the report, Well, Jake Glazer

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>had to report that that was the first which that

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem to be too supposed to been whiz I'm

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna write, I heard on Wednesday. I heard Wednesday, and

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 1>then I also heard the fourteen. I've heard. Seems more

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>logical that I would be the fourteenth. They say, whizzed

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it was his cutoff day. But they say that the

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>NFL and this coaches have kind of unwritten rule for

0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. You know, you kind of honored it, like

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>yeah to the fourteenth, so that if you're trying to

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>leave or if you they trying to renegotiate with you,

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that they would had a grace period. Right, still get paid.

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 1>But typically, I mean, if you if you want to

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>part way as with your coach in the NFL, it

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>is almost unilaterally done in the Monday after the regular season,

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>so it's uncharted territory. I don't know what that means,

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 1>but like I mean, I would not be shocked. Let's

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>say Jason Garrett is leaving, which is still what I

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>think is ultimately what's going to happen. We might not

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>hear anything about it until it's like Jason Garrett is,

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, interviewing with the Cleveland Browns once. Yeah, and

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>that that could be it. Yeah. I really don't think

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna make some grand announcement. Yeah, I'm with you,

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you guys, you robbing Dave. If it happens, I don't

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>expect them to have this press conference that hey, we're

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>parting ways. I think you smoke coming out of the

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Vatican and all that kind of stuff, Like, Yeah, I

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>don't I think you would just hear rumors of the

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are talking to these people, purse sources, Jason Garrett

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>is talking to these teams, purse sources, and then it

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>just kind of takes, you know, kind of goes. But

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>as we know, we like the show around here. We

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.559
<v Speaker 1>like to take the show pony and trotted around the track.

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, whatever is happening,

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not in in the cowboys mind preventing great, it's

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>not preventing them from from another step, the next step

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>in their mind. It's not They're not now being rushed

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to make a decision on a new coach if that's

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the way they go. And apparently it's not hindering Jason

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Garrett's future either one way or the other or the record,

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>because it's been what it's been four days, I think

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that's true. By the way, is like if again look

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at the reports Josh McDaniels, the New England OC, he's

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna do all of his interviews on January tenth, that's

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a week from tomorrow. Um, who's the other guy? Eric

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>bi enemy the chiefs OC he's gonna wait and do

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>his stuff. Uh this, I think he's gonna interview like

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>this weekend and next week, like there's still time. It

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>feels like I think with him, he's got a he's

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 1>on a team with a buy, right, so he's got

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it this week, right. But McCarthy, Mike McCarthy

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>is another one stuff schedule around the league elsewhere some

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of these guys aren't scheduled to even interview for these jobs,

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's a first interview. A lot of times you

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>see two or three for some of these guys. Like

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these hires aren't going to get made

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>in the next seven or so days, which that doesn't

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like a long time, but think about how long

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the last four days have felt for all of us.

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that there's no movement on Thursday, I

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think hinders their ability to do anything. All right, Well,

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>let's take a break when we come back, let's have fun.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's start the new year. You don't think this is fun.

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I think this is probably the most fun I've had

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>on a show outside of the season ever, just because

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>no one knows and it's so great what you got Nate,

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I was just one more day. I'm sorry, Okay, one

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>more day. Do you think this goes into tomorrow and

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the next day and next week? We'll be right back

<v Speaker 1>are just completely off the bus, like it around. Yeah,

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>it kind of fits what's happening right now. No, no,

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:53.920

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just weird, that's all. But like our group, our

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>wheels are always off. That's true. We wing it. We're

<v Speaker 1>our best when we wing it, when we bulldog it,

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.359
<v Speaker 1>right Dave, Yes, yeah, well that's always been my strategy.

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's have fun. Speaking of fun, pay David, I did

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>something fun yesterday, not together, but we were in the

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.919
<v Speaker 1>same place. Yeah, we went to the Winter Classic yesterday.

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 1>We did what is that? That was the hockey game

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 1>outside Okay All Stars and the Predators. That was actually

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a really cool sports experience. That's one of the probably

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>top five coolest things I've ever done. I would agree

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:32.639
<v Speaker 1>top five. Yeah, just because it was so well, it

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 1>was so out of place being in the it was

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>a wold fact. Yeah, I've never been in the Cotton

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Bowl for the spirits whole lot. Don't don't cut some.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>It was just the just just for you to have

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a girl that you go around with and be seen

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 1>with that is a wild factor. That's probably top things

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:52.919
<v Speaker 1>out with me and puts up with my stuff. Before

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>we go any farther, I would like to ask one question,

0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>just one shoot. Did he give you our pete a

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>year ago? Yeah? Yeah, I know his way out. I know.

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy talking about the day that I left early

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>on a Friday and oh yeah, yeah, thank you. Was

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 1>it good? We split it up between our staff. Like

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy he listens to y'all show, right, he sent

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>y'all like ten pieces. You were already out of the office,

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 1>so we divvied it up. I think I got two. Yeah,

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:29.119
<v Speaker 1>it was good. Ten pieces. They were like individually rapped,

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>okay from it was like coal fired. It was good,

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>throw it in the oven. He sent it to us

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 1>on the show, and I Kurt was gone left early.

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I left early. Dave was. It was on a Friday,

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I think in the off season or it was a

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.119
<v Speaker 1>holiday or something, and Dave was the only person up

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 1>here and it was in dry ice on my desk

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and oh yeah, you gave me a slice. Johnathan called

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>me and was like, hey, this is on your desk.

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 1>It says dry ice. I don't think it's gonna keep

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.120
<v Speaker 1>through the weekend. So I called Dave, and Dave unpacked

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>it and I think handed it out and I just

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>want was tasty. So back back to the show and

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 1>that we don't know anyone. I was gonna say. I

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 1>love the thought of like just die hard cowboys fans

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>tuning in for like, what what's the word pizza? Talking

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>about dry packaged pizza that we ate a year ago?

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>What we do? That's what we do, all right? So

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 1>let's start with you, Nate. Okay, what is what is

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the one the bright spot of this season? If there

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>is one. If you don't have one, then say there

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't one. What what would you think? Or anybody jump

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.399
<v Speaker 1>in here? What what is a positive to come out

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>of this season? A player? Um, a moment, a situation.

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Not everybody jump in here once a lot of dead

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>air there. Yeah, I'll go um and people can roll

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 1>their eyes at me if they want to. I know

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>they went eight and eight. I know that he wasn't

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>always perfect, and I know that some of his stats

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>were kind of hollow. But Dak Prescott paid well enough.

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I said paid. That's probably because that's what's on my mind.

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott played well enough that I feel comfortable making

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>him the quarterback of this franchise going forward at what costs,

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 1>preferably slotting him where is thirty four would be great

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>if I could give him a little bit more than

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz and Jared Goff, certainly not as much as

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 1>you know Russell Wilson or Big Ben or what the

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>other guys are gonna make, which will be more. I mean,

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I think Patrick Mahomes could flirt with forty a year

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 1>when he's when he's ready to do that, which could

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>be as soon as the Chiefs are done playing. I

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to do that, and that's that's gonna be

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the big storylines of the season, is where

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>do you come down on that? How hard or you know,

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>or the cowboy's gonna play hardball or Dak and his

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 1>team really going to hold out and try to break

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the bank. I don't know, but assuming you can get

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 1>that deal done and not set the market, I feel

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>perfectly comfortable with that, And I honestly which this will

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 1>make people feel some type of way too, but like

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's interesting to me that this is happening after

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>an eight and eighth season. That's when Tony Romo signed

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 1>his last really big contract. He got whatever it was

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:13.719
<v Speaker 1>at the time, one hundred and five million in the

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>weeks following an eight and eighth season that saw them

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>get knocked out in the final week of the year.

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>So obviously, you know Dak had he didn't deliver this year,

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they didn't make the playoffs. I get all of that,

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 1>but there were enough positive signs for me and his youth.

0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.119
<v Speaker 1>I think he's only going to get better and I

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>would be very comfortable pulling that trigger. Only glit No,

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 1>ye do this started franchise stage. Just say hey, this

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>is where we started it and that may be what

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>they end up doing if they can't get to an agreement. Yeah,

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the only problem I had I love Dak as a human,

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>as a leader. I think the big blood coming well

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys, Well, the Cowboys haven't really given themselves much

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of a choice. They've kind of backed themselves into a corner.

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's you're really your only option because

0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>they remember far too well the days of Quincy and

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Chad Hutchinson and the big gap between. If you want

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.639
<v Speaker 1>a devil's advocate, I mean, you could franchise Dak and

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>draft the quarterback you like, what kind of what kind

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of locker room would that be? Sure? That that dynamic

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that would be I don't think it would be a

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 1>good idea, but you I mean you could. You're not

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 1>married to him, that's the whole point. But I think

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's the reason why they didn't bring in

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a One of the reason why they didn't bring an

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>established veteran in is because you didn't want that controversy

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 1>or that you know. But I would have liked to

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>have seen Dak a couple of times this year when

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 1>they needed him to put the team on their back,

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>him go win a game. Yeah, And I didn't see

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that this year. I saw it last year, the year

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>before and the year before, but this year, like when

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:43.639
<v Speaker 1>you really needed him strap it up. New Orleans was

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>an example. A couple of other games, like go go

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:47.920
<v Speaker 1>win us a couple of games, and I don't know

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that could have been play calling, that could have been coaching,

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that could have been talent around you, whatever. I just

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>when you go pay that kind of money, I feel

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>like Russell Wilson's gonna win you two or three a year.

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Drew's gonna win you two or I

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like Aaron Rodgers gonna win you five or six

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a year. So yeah, but you know, on the flip

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>side of that, one thing I've for Dad when his

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 1>numbers haven't been as good as they were this year,

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 1>even in the past, the thing that I always felt

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>like with him, I feel like he's a pretty clutch

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>quarterback when he has the ball in his hands lad

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 1>in games throughout his career, I've always felt pretty good

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 1>about it, and on top now it kind of flipped

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 1>this year because I think his numbers are better, but

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the wins aren't there. Yeah, So I think he's still

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 1>young enough in his career to what piggyback on what

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Dave said, I think he continues to get better. But

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>one thing you said about the backup situation, I think

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.080
<v Speaker 1>they've gone young because they just they they've brought in

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>veteran backups before and it's been not great. It's been

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the disaster at times, but those guys have had to play.

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 1>But rather go young backups on a reflection of how

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>good your team is. Like Pittsburgh Steelers, they got a team,

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>big being come back. It's gonna be a nice ain't rolling.

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>They got a team, and I think we have a team.

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>But the issue, the issue here is, and I'm with

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Hellman and I'm gonna go a little bit deeper. You

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 1>start at the franchise tag and you work it slowly

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 1>from there. Do not feel like you have to rush

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 1>just in case they go against Min Shannon wishes. They

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>go against Min Shannon wishes because the new coach may

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:32.360
<v Speaker 1>see that in a different light. So that I think

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 1>about that all the time. I mean, if Jason Garrett

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 1>is not the coach, and that's the thing is a

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 1>new coach shows up, and it's uncanny how quickly you

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>can transform a roster when you do a regime change

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:45.639
<v Speaker 1>like that. John Gruden just did it a couple of

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:47.640
<v Speaker 1>years ago. I keep thinking about him, and there are

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.640
<v Speaker 1>they're in position to do that this year because they've

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 1>got thirty something guys that could be free agents, Bud

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>just over half the roster. I think a prerequisite for

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>any hire they would make would be that the coach

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.399
<v Speaker 1>has to be convicted that Dak as the guy. Totally agree.

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't think they're sold. Times have changed in the

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>last what five, six, seven, eight years to where you

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta have a coach that's committed to the quarterback and

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>can you win with this guy? And if you can't,

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and we really want this coach. You've seen it several

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:19.879
<v Speaker 1>times the last few years, the quarterbacks gone and they

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:21.880
<v Speaker 1>bring their own guy. You saw it with McVeigh, right,

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean that to me, it doesn't seem like it

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>used to be that. The Cardinals they go, oh yeah,

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, you saw it. Kingsbury not so much. McVeigh.

0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Goff was already the wrong coach. But this this is

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:36.920
<v Speaker 1>my issue. When y'all talk about Dak and we sit

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>here on our show and he shouted her and he

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:45.199
<v Speaker 1>said a million times Dak has to take from his

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:49.360
<v Speaker 1>past what is successful and blended in with the new.

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:55.360
<v Speaker 1>He became a passing machine. And we saw Dak twice

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>this year. Go back and look at the films. We

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.959
<v Speaker 1>saw him against Philadelphia and we saw him against the

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Red Skins, where he did everything, ran uninvited. I'm trying about.

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about let his instincts. Let him keep his instincts.

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:12.160
<v Speaker 1>A lot of this this year he's just sent back there.

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>First were first wall bundles thirty four, third and three,

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 1>third and five, and we're dropping back passing. Okay, was

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong in the offensive line. We still had Zeke

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and Dak said, okay, there's three yards. Well he tried

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 1>to throw. I'm saying myself, is he lost it? What

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:35.159
<v Speaker 1>is he thinking? Is he over coach? Now? Because I

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.840
<v Speaker 1>know North Turner, but that was a different deal with

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Troy Troy like, hey, we're gonna throw the ball. With

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Troy that hey, you sometimes you have to stand back

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>then make something happen. But I didn't see that with Dak.

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 1>And when you see that with Dak, now we got

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the games closer and were going down the stretch, and

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I see that type of day. I didn't see that

0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Dak this year. I think that's fair. I mean, the

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 1>late game heroics were not there. He had a chance.

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.200
<v Speaker 1>If he's if he's a little bit better, maybe they

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>beat Minnesota. You know, they had the ball before, even

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 1>if you change the play. That's the question that's Philly

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously is the most recent one where I mean, he

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>could have stepped up in that situation and potentially tied

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. You didn't see it this year, and that's

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a very fair criticism. I just people always say,

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like they're like, you want to pay for what you're

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna do, not what you have done, Like you're paying

0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:29.400
<v Speaker 1>for the future. And I feel comfortable that he will

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 1>continue to grow and be a better quarter. All that

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>said that, the team itself wasn't as good last year.

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 1>The defense didn't get the takeaways for the short fields

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to allow Dak maybe more comfort running the offense. The

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>special team, the fuel position wasn't there for the offense.

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>The overall team wasn't as good, and how many you know,

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:49.000
<v Speaker 1>some of it slow starts on offense, but how many

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>times I mean, I think in the last month Dak

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 1>was averaging forty five pass attempts a game that's not

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>his game, that's not the offenses game, and that's some

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 1>of that's play calling. But someone's just a product of

0:29:57.840 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>how the team is playing, and they weren't. They didn't

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>get themselves in position to maximize his abilities and run

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the offense they like to run it. This is what

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I do know, Rob, This is what I do know

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, and last year and a year before that.

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>For the last six years, we have not been a

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>team that turned people over, right, We have not been

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a interception team that follows on the term. But what

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.960
<v Speaker 1>we were and we would never second guess, was the

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>ability to tackle. Yes, that is that. One number one

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>thing that crushed this team this year is their ability

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to tackle. And if they fixed just that one thing

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and little little things that were cropped up down the

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 1>street last eight games of the season, the screen game,

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to just get plays made in space, just fundamental stuff.

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Just winning football you have to play. They didn't do

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:57.719
<v Speaker 1>that consistently this year at all. Yeah, I mean, you're right,

0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 1>like though, I mean, they haven't gotten takeaways the whole

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>time I've covered this team, But they forced to tackle, man,

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 1>they forced teams to kick field goals. They get off

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the field. Yeah, I mean, how many amazing like sideline

0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to sideline tackles did vander esh and Jalen make last

0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 1>year that didn't get made this year. Let's take it

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 1>in that direction. Date, So you're sounds like your biggest

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 1>thing they have to improve on to be a better

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>team next year's tackling. If they do that, I'm telling you, man,

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>this is automatically, this automatically a one or two win

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>better team just about tackling. Even last year, they would

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>have threw an eighty yard bomb. Again, I'm talking about

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, but they wouldn't have made it to the

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>end zone. I guarantee you we would have got them.

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>We would have would have got That was the hallmark

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 1>of Marinelli's defenses for years, is that those type of

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>players didn't happen. That's right, brother, and I believe that

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>because is that coach Marinelli is that. I was gonna

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 1>ask you, how do you? I mean, how do you

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>fix that? I mean you're changing coaches back there now? Hellman,

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I could answer to Jason Garry question quicker than I

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 1>can serious sick. What went wrong? It was it? The players?

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>The coaches are both Yeah, what's what's something Nates is tackling.

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I think mine, mine is I think going into this year,

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, there were too many games where you

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>gave up on the run too early and calls Dak

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to throw forty plus times the game. Like, that's kind

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of what I was speaking to, And it's it's not

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>all play callings, it's the way the game went. But yeah, Zeke,

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Zeke had a hell of the last stretch of the season.

0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they were blowing people off the ball at

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 1>times in the running game, but I don't know if

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 1>they were as balanced as they would like to be.

0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Certainly weren't as balanced as they've been the first three years.

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 1>With that, it's almost like they would get scared. They

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>would they would panic once they were down to seven. Coordinator.

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 1>That was the youthful offensive coordinator. That's all I'm calling

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>it how it is. See Jason Garrett, you have to

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 1>press him, but he easily said our coordinator is calling

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the plays. The first time he said, I'm like, oh,

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the second time he said, my officeive coordinators calling the plays.

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Then you digg a little deeper and find out that

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 1>mister Jones, say, hey, you would office coordinator called these plays.

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 1>We pay you for your aggressiveness, for your creativity, we

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>ain't paying you for your experience. And then you know

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>when it came home for me was when we played

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia three and out. They got our defense on the

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>field for five minutes. Then we come back knowing we

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 1>need to do something to save our defense. We go

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 1>three and out again. Did we come out again? They

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 1>hold the ball? Did we come back again? And the

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.280
<v Speaker 1>only thing that the reason we got five plays called

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 1>we connected on the forty one yard but after that

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 1>we was out of the game. Our defense got sloted

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 1>for thirty four minutes. You can't do that as officsive coordinator.

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to save your team. Now that goes straight

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to the head coach, but your office a coordinator making

0:33:54.720 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>these calls. No brother tackle and run in play, special teams,

0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>special team. So there's another one. I'd say takeaways. I mean,

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just Nate said it. It's been years and years

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>where they're midpack to bottom of the league. I think

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:13.000
<v Speaker 1>they were tied for the fourth FEUs. They've just got

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to make more plays on the defensive side of the ball.

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.479
<v Speaker 1>They have talent on defense. Now they've got there's gonna

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of changes on defense. I mean, I

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>think there's like six guys that are headed front restrictor

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 1>free agency that started games this year. Whether you know,

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Brown counts as a third coin, Anthony Brown, Robert Quinn,

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Byron Jones, Jeff Heath, Shawn Lee, UM coach man, Antoine

0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Woods is going. He's gonna be an exclusive exclusive rights

0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>so he's probably not going anywhere. But it's a lot

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 1>at every level of their defense. I mean, there could

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.800
<v Speaker 1>be changed, but Joe Thomas not a starter out Thomas,

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, that can help Dak in the offense is

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>more than anything. I mean, you see some of these

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl champions in the past few years. They haven't

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:55.839
<v Speaker 1>necessarily had great defenses, but they took the ball away

0:34:56.200 --> 0:35:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and that that they almost need to reconfigure the ratings

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for defenses because the Cowboys finished I think top eleven twelve.

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:07.239
<v Speaker 1>But if you're not getting takeaways, that is such a

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 1>critical part of what you do defend. Which but like

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you can yeah, those stats are misleading, but you can

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>go look at like efficiency like DVOA they were like

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth in the league. Okay, awful. Yeah, and that's

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>for me I know the offense had inconsistencies. They have

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:25.800
<v Speaker 1>bad games. There were stretches where they looked pretty terrible,

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:30.960
<v Speaker 1>But that offense perform, That offensive performance all sixteen games

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 1>gets them to the playoffs with a better season from

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:37.399
<v Speaker 1>your defense, especially especially with the hype that we put

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.319
<v Speaker 1>on them, like every I mean the hot boys got

0:35:40.480 --> 0:35:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say that phrase ever again. Now

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they took that in San Francisco, we don't have to

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>worry about seriously, they I mean, they didn't play up

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to the hype you got. You thought guys would make jumps.

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:54.360
<v Speaker 1>That didn't do it. Tackling ninety two yard touchdown against

0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the team that won six games. I mean, come on.

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean the two games where they played lights out

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the best they played all year, first game against Philly

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:07.239
<v Speaker 1>and the Rams, and they got takeaways, impactful plays defensively

0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that helped their offense out. To me, that's the biggest

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:11.800
<v Speaker 1>key going forward. Because Dad's not going anywhere, Zeke's not

0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>going anywhere. They've got the pieces still on offense. They're

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 1>coming back. I'm gonna tell you some fellas you know,

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and I love having fun, but it's Jason garretting. But

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>one thing I do know, whoever is the coach, you

0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:30.840
<v Speaker 1>have a window here. Of course, talent, if directed in

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the right way, for the next three years, all we

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.960
<v Speaker 1>should be talking about is ten plus win seasons. This

0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 1>was one. That's what makes this frustrating. That was this

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 1>was a year off the window. That's what I'm saying.

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 1>They needed to make some hey here before all these

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>contracts come home to roost, because that's gonna be a

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>problem in the next two or three years. Let's talk

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.719
<v Speaker 1>about contracts and free agency. I want to get you'all thoughts. One.

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I want to just take Dak out of it. We'll

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>take a break when we come back. Think about it

0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 1>in the break. Who's the one guy besides Dak that

0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>is a free agent that you have to get back

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on this team. And then also let's look at the

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver group and what you would do with that.

0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, Maury's a free agent, do you have to

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:12.360
<v Speaker 1>bring him back? Or is Gallop ready to take the

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.080
<v Speaker 1>next step? And then you go get another guy in

0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a draft. You also need back end help on the defense.

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:20.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you do with that draft pick. Let's talk

0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that before we get out of here.

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:23.399
<v Speaker 1>But We're gonna take a break, pay some some bills,

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be right back on hanging with the Cowboys,

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 1>talking break and stuff like that. By since eighteen sixty five,

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:12.800

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I like him. He just calm, He'll answer any question

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room. But I just kind of almost

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 1>like I wanted Dak to take the team and put

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 1>him on his back a couple of games. I wanted

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to Mary to take the team and put him on

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:48.120
<v Speaker 1>his back a couple of games. But I hope he

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:51.719
<v Speaker 1>comes back. What are y'all's thoughts as far as are

0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you signing ah Mari? Is it come down to if

0:41:54.040 --> 0:41:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you got the money. Is it got to be the

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:57.960
<v Speaker 1>right deal or is he a guy you just go

0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 1>pay no matter what. Well, correct me if I'm wrong, Davy.

0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But if the CBA remains in place, by the speak

0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>can use both tags. They can use two tags. They

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:07.880
<v Speaker 1>could if they have to, they can tag Dak and

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:09.879
<v Speaker 1>they can take and tag them both. So I don't

0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I see him being back next year. I

0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:14.759
<v Speaker 1>completely know. Whether it's a long term deal, we'll see,

0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's kind of like Dak. It's going to

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 1>depend on the money. But I think he's back, and

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.799
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he had a good year this year.

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to also take an account the

0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:26.799
<v Speaker 1>guy played through a lot of stuff this year, um,

0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think it affects now. He told us he

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>can't healthy, but I don't think he was completely He

0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:34.320
<v Speaker 1>told us on Monday that he was healthier the second

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:37.320
<v Speaker 1>eight games than the first, which really kind of disconcerting

0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 1>because he was because he wasn't like his worst games

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:43.759
<v Speaker 1>of the season all happened in the final five or

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 1>six weeks, right, So if he was feeling better, that's

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:48.680
<v Speaker 1>not great. And he wasn't even on the injury report

0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:53.839
<v Speaker 1>in the Philly game, where everybody is wondering what happened there, Um,

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 1>so you can't blame it on injuries. But I think

0:42:56.320 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 1>he's back and and but there's no question getting act

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that chemistry that he and Dak has on a consistent

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:07.720
<v Speaker 1>basis road home that's a huge must for twenty twenty.

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Dak and Amari are pretty funny because they both had

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:14.320
<v Speaker 1>really good seasons, but not seasons that where you're just like,

0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 1>pay them whatever they want, break it, like, you know,

0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:19.879
<v Speaker 1>there's there's reservations about both, and I think they're fair.

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I agree. You know, you'd like to see some more

0:43:22.600 --> 0:43:24.440
<v Speaker 1>dog from him. You'd like to see him play well

0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.399
<v Speaker 1>on the road if he's gonna get top three money,

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Like I need a guy that doesn't get taken out

0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:32.360
<v Speaker 1>of a game two or three times a year and

0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:35.319
<v Speaker 1>that well, So me and Derek had this conversation out

0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of the game physically, but out of the game like

0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:39.320
<v Speaker 1>shut down no, and well, Derek and I had this conversation.

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I think people, you know, you focus so

0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:45.200
<v Speaker 1>much on one team, I think you can find yourself

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 1>in a bubble because that happens with you're only seeing

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 1>other receivers on Sports Center and You're like, oh, another

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:52.719
<v Speaker 1>great game from him, like he never gets shut down.

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's really true. I think Michael Thomas

0:43:56.080 --> 0:44:00.560
<v Speaker 1>never gets shut down, DeAndre Hopkins and maybe who Leo Jones.

0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:03.120
<v Speaker 1>But like the rest of the wide receivers in this league.

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:05.319
<v Speaker 1>But that's not bad. But the chalk up a twenty

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:07.319
<v Speaker 1>two yard perform. But that's what I'm saying. If you're

0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:09.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna command top one money, I need you to play

0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>like a top three guy every week. I would be

0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:14.000
<v Speaker 1>happy to pay a Mario a long term contract if

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I can slot him in at eighteen or nineteen million

0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a year, like if he wants to top Michael Thomas's deal.

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel comfortable with that. Okay, fair enough, Nate,

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm with you. It's like we're the ones doing

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the talking, and fuck for us to be talking about

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:31.360
<v Speaker 1>amor a guy that said, oh, I'm okay, Well, you know,

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't even know why he was okay. He just

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:36.320
<v Speaker 1>said I'm okay, I'm good. So I'm gonna wait. I

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:38.400
<v Speaker 1>want him back, but I can let's see what he

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:40.360
<v Speaker 1>let's for us see what he what are asking for?

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Do we have a bottom line of what he's asking

0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:46.200
<v Speaker 1>for we knew at one point, we thought we knew,

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 1>but what that actually turned down to thirty five million

0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:50.960
<v Speaker 1>on a contract? Yeah, I don't. I don't think the

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:53.560
<v Speaker 1>talks with the Maria had the same type of it. Yeah,

0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they got us far. Yeah. No, And

0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:58.560
<v Speaker 1>there's that, So there's some stuff going on there where

0:44:58.600 --> 0:45:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like he changed representation. There was like some time over

0:45:01.200 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>at his agency. I don't know. I will say, like,

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 1>if you don't feel comfortable signing him long term, lets

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's say they tag him and it's another

0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>one year deal, you better do some aggressive work on

0:45:12.120 --> 0:45:15.960
<v Speaker 1>your wide receiver corps. Because I love Michael Gallup. I

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.640
<v Speaker 1>think he's one of the feel good stories of the season.

0:45:18.719 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to put that strain on him a

0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 1>number one to be the guy. And Randall Cobb's a

0:45:22.960 --> 0:45:25.879
<v Speaker 1>free agent, he was fine. A lot of missed opportunities

0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:29.640
<v Speaker 1>there for him. I mean, Tavon Austin, that's like, there's

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.920
<v Speaker 1>exactly no, I know, there's not a lot of pieces here.

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:35.040
<v Speaker 1>What like, you look at it right now, you're like

0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Mark Cooper, Randall cop and Michael Gallup. That's pretty damn good.

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a sudden if Cooper's not part

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.279
<v Speaker 1>of it, you're like, we got Michael Gallup and some dude.

0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 1>And I've heard the argument if you look at the

0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>draft show seasons coming up. But if they, oh, I'm

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna take a long look at like not necessarily slot receivers,

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>but receivers that can move inside and outside, I think

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like it's a deep class, at least at

0:45:57.480 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the top of the draft. It absolutely is. But the

0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>thing about that is it's like you say, oh, yeah,

0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:04.040
<v Speaker 1>they could just go do that, spend a top pick, Well, okay,

0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>what about tight end? What about defensive tackles, what about safety?

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.759
<v Speaker 1>What about corner? What was Byron Jones's future? There is

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a ton of You can go down the list of

0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:14.319
<v Speaker 1>positions on his roster and say, oh, they I could

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 1>see that, I could spend them picking it. I could

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:19.200
<v Speaker 1>see them spending the top yeah draft pick on this position.

0:46:19.320 --> 0:46:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Exposition sound it's really fun to draft one of those

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:26.239
<v Speaker 1>freaks out of Alabama or God, there's there's a kid

0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in Colorado that's awesome, Like they could do some damage

0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:31.560
<v Speaker 1>with this wide receiver, Claus. Do you really see them

0:46:31.600 --> 0:46:33.880
<v Speaker 1>they having spent a first round pick on them, Maury Cooper.

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:36.120
<v Speaker 1>If they're not going to give him a long term deals,

0:46:36.200 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe they should. I just don't see if he's on,

0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:40.280
<v Speaker 1>if he's tagged and you don't know what his future

0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:44.800
<v Speaker 1>looks like, then maybe you should. What's wrong they? I

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:49.920
<v Speaker 1>love it. Great discussion, but comes but no, no, no,

0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a great discussion because man, you just ain't that. I've

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:55.279
<v Speaker 1>been saying the same thing for two weeks, but it

0:46:55.440 --> 0:46:59.879
<v Speaker 1>always get back to this right here, whether we want

0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it to a not And I know we don't draft

0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a need, so you could make the case that they

0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:11.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of and they've done that and messed up. But fellas,

0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe with the fifth pick I would draft

0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:21.719
<v Speaker 1>the offensive player our defense is find to go through it. Yeah,

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:25.439
<v Speaker 1>you're not wrong, So you're a lot of potential train

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>We do not fix our defense. I promise you we'll

0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:32.360
<v Speaker 1>be looking at the same season again next year. The

0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:35.320
<v Speaker 1>top sack guy, Robert Quinn is going to be a

0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.879
<v Speaker 1>fair ag Are they gonna pay him? And if they don't,

0:47:37.920 --> 0:47:40.480
<v Speaker 1>who's playing opposite Tank Lawrence. I mean, there's a lot

0:47:40.520 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of let's take it, let's take it another level, Okay,

0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:47.680
<v Speaker 1>until we get some clarity on this coaching situation. You

0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:49.759
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what kind of scheme they're gonna run.

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they could switch to three four next year?

0:47:52.440 --> 0:47:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Why not if if I'm just what if they hire?

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:58.120
<v Speaker 1>What if they hire? Like I mean, let okay, we don't.

0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Jayson Garretts come back tomorrow, he's going back, Okay

0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 1>If he doesn't, it's almost two o'clock. If what if

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>they get there? What if they get a home run

0:48:08.160 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 1>higher And it doesn't matter who the name is, but

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:12.440
<v Speaker 1>he's just like, I do a three four. I'm a

0:48:12.520 --> 0:48:14.680
<v Speaker 1>three four guy. I want that. That's what I That's

0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:17.799
<v Speaker 1>what I want. It's hard to do, I know, the same.

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Even Parcels waited two years before he got to his

0:48:20.440 --> 0:48:22.680
<v Speaker 1>three four, which it's true, you got to spend a draft,

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:25.239
<v Speaker 1>a couple of drafts doing it. But but you, like,

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:28.319
<v Speaker 1>my point is like right now, we're like, well, they

0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:30.400
<v Speaker 1>got to find a way to keep Byron Jones. They

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 1>have to. He's he's played so well the last two years.

0:48:33.000 --> 0:48:35.360
<v Speaker 1>New new DC comes in under a new coach, He's like,

0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't need that guy. That guy doesn't feel with Dave.

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Since you're talking, who's your guy, who's your guy outside

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:46.279
<v Speaker 1>of Dad that you have to keep free agent. Oh goodness, UM,

0:48:46.800 --> 0:48:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I would probably go, I mean, this is boring, but

0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably say Amari followed by Byron. I don't know

0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:54.920
<v Speaker 1>how realistic that is. I think Byron's gonna unless they

0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:57.480
<v Speaker 1>were to tag him. I think Byron's gonna price himself

0:48:57.520 --> 0:49:00.160
<v Speaker 1>out of here because he's gonna get money. I'm I mean,

0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:02.800
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't get picks, but good cornerback play as a

0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:07.160
<v Speaker 1>valuable commodity in this Yeah, and so I think that's

0:49:07.200 --> 0:49:11.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a tough contract to keep up with UM

0:49:12.040 --> 0:49:14.480
<v Speaker 1>after Amari. I mean, if you can find a way

0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to get Quinn back, I would love that. I you know,

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I think about the deal DeMarcus Ware signed after we

0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 1>cut him. He went to Denver and signed three years

0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 1>for thirty million. Quinn's turning thirty, he's been through the league,

0:49:26.520 --> 0:49:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten paid. If you could sign him to a

0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:31.560
<v Speaker 1>deal like that, I'd be all for it. But but

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that I mean, as always, that depends on the market.

0:49:33.719 --> 0:49:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, somebody else could offer him twice as much,

0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:38.239
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, well, we did our best, but you

0:49:38.320 --> 0:49:40.840
<v Speaker 1>gotta be responsible too. Who's your gaff? Rob? I agree

0:49:40.840 --> 0:49:43.480
<v Speaker 1>with everything Dave said. I'll throw out Sean Lee. I

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:47.759
<v Speaker 1>know he's gonna be thirty four, but coach, well, he

0:49:47.880 --> 0:49:50.560
<v Speaker 1>may want to keep playing. And if he does, I

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 1>think given Layton vander Esh's status coming off the surgery

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and they say he'll be ready in the offseason program.

0:49:56.120 --> 0:50:00.040
<v Speaker 1>But having Sean not in a monster role, but he

0:50:00.120 --> 0:50:03.520
<v Speaker 1>played the role he played, and and that veteran presence

0:50:03.520 --> 0:50:05.719
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room, I think that's important. He wants

0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to play in football. Has there ever been a player

0:50:07.800 --> 0:50:13.480
<v Speaker 1>coach probably in like the nineteen forties, Yeah, you know, yeah,

0:50:13.920 --> 0:50:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Hustle on the Celtics, you know, eighteen ninety nine Rutgers

0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:22.960
<v Speaker 1>like he was the court, he was the half back, quarterback,

0:50:23.120 --> 0:50:26.719
<v Speaker 1>defensive end and coach or something like that. Who's your guy, Nate,

0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Who you gotta keep? The reason I want to keep

0:50:30.960 --> 0:50:32.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy because I still don't know who he is.

0:50:32.680 --> 0:50:35.480
<v Speaker 1>It's Blake Jardan, I don't I don't know. I don't

0:50:35.520 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>know who he is, but I would like to find out.

0:50:38.920 --> 0:50:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And we cannot. We cannot keep losing tight ends, and

0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and that that position is not prosperous for us. That

0:50:49.440 --> 0:50:52.200
<v Speaker 1>used to be a killer position when when our guy

0:50:52.400 --> 0:50:56.120
<v Speaker 1>was uh uh five years younger that that was a

0:50:56.239 --> 0:51:01.319
<v Speaker 1>gimme almost a thousand yards team ten touchdown. This disposition

0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:03.800
<v Speaker 1>is suffering, whether we want to agree with it or not.

0:51:04.120 --> 0:51:06.560
<v Speaker 1>And I once I get past Blake Jarred, I'm going

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with this man, you better keep one of these corners

0:51:09.719 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and preferred to the one that we think we're gonna

0:51:12.080 --> 0:51:16.400
<v Speaker 1>get man, because if you deplete your backfield, what in

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:18.919
<v Speaker 1>the world are we gonna do? Byron Jones doesn't have picks,

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:22.239
<v Speaker 1>but he's the most he's the most consistent corner you got,

0:51:22.400 --> 0:51:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you better do something. I'm d I will gladly. The

0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 1>man didn't have an off season or a training camp.

0:51:28.000 --> 0:51:30.319
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't perfect, he didn't he's not gonna be all

0:51:30.360 --> 0:51:32.880
<v Speaker 1>pro like he was last year, but he was solid

0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:35.719
<v Speaker 1>and didn't have an off season to get himself right.

0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really impressive. And guys don't throw at

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:40.520
<v Speaker 1>him as much. That's part of it too. They stay

0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 1>away from some of you. They don't test him all

0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that much game the game. We're not saying that this

0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:50.040
<v Speaker 1>kid is great, but if you don't think that this

0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:53.520
<v Speaker 1>kid is good or solid, what the other side show

0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:56.160
<v Speaker 1>ain't proved to be and I don't. And I love Cheeto.

0:51:56.400 --> 0:52:00.120
<v Speaker 1>He came out as a playmaker, Cheeto Woozia came to

0:52:00.200 --> 0:52:07.799
<v Speaker 1>college as a playmaker? Is it him? Are the coaching good? Question? So? Wow? Hey,

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:11.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's money too. I mean we just talked Dakamari Byron.

0:52:11.440 --> 0:52:13.839
<v Speaker 1>At some point, you know who's who gets lost? Man?

0:52:14.040 --> 0:52:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Tag is nice? Yeah, that's what the tag is there?

0:52:16.600 --> 0:52:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Fun man, I'll tell you. I'll say this though, And

0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:21.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, I get anybody that wants to be glass

0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:23.760
<v Speaker 1>half empty. I get it. It was a disappointing season,

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but it was a coaching change that saved Byron Jones' career. Yes, well,

0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:33.240
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not gonna close the book on Cheeto Xavier Woods.

0:52:33.280 --> 0:52:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know, both of those guys probably didn't

0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:37.840
<v Speaker 1>live up to the preseason hype. But they're under contract.

0:52:38.040 --> 0:52:40.640
<v Speaker 1>And if you're gonna change the coaching staff, which I

0:52:40.920 --> 0:52:45.160
<v Speaker 1>still think is likely, who knows? So can we all

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:49.839
<v Speaker 1>agree to disagree? Or where we're at with Jason too

0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:54.000
<v Speaker 1>far and undecided's over here, right, I'll tell you right now,

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.359
<v Speaker 1>even if he comes back, it won't be tomorrow. Well,

0:52:57.360 --> 0:52:59.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna drag this thing out for a little while.

0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not say if we get an announcement this week, great,

0:53:04.800 --> 0:53:07.880
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not holding my Let me ask you if

0:53:07.920 --> 0:53:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they if they do call a press conference, is that

0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:16.239
<v Speaker 1>is that announcing that he's coming back? Is that? Is

0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it a is it a we moved in a different direction?

0:53:19.040 --> 0:53:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Or is it just a endo the year recap like

0:53:21.480 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we always have but we haven't had yet this There

0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:24.719
<v Speaker 1>is no way in hell they're gonna do an end

0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:29.319
<v Speaker 1>of the year recap and talk about it. Yeah, that's

0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:31.880
<v Speaker 1>hard to see, Okay, So that they're talking about the pressure,

0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:37.000
<v Speaker 1>y'all know how these press conference announcements come down to us.

0:53:37.200 --> 0:53:40.719
<v Speaker 1>It's we're sitting here, everybody's about to leave, and then

0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:43.120
<v Speaker 1>PR walks by and says we're having a press conference

0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:45.279
<v Speaker 1>at four and it's three twenty, and then we all

0:53:45.360 --> 0:53:47.239
<v Speaker 1>scramble and try to figure it out. So I'm just saying,

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:49.319
<v Speaker 1>if you were going to do an end of the year, okay,

0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:53.040
<v Speaker 1>that's the game, So that that would have been. So

0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:55.360
<v Speaker 1>if there is a press conference announcement, just so the

0:53:55.440 --> 0:53:57.600
<v Speaker 1>fans know, what, what what's your money on? Is it

0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:01.719
<v Speaker 1>he's coming back or we've moved on? They're not gonna

0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have a press conference to say that the day's moved on.

0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I could see. I could see a situation where Jerry

0:54:06.719 --> 0:54:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and Stephen hold a press conference to Native's actually calling

0:54:10.360 --> 0:54:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Jane on her right, she's right outside. Dave Campo did

0:54:15.800 --> 0:54:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that right? Didn't they have a press conference when Camp's

0:54:18.040 --> 0:54:22.279
<v Speaker 1>left you? It's I wouldn't hear, but I think it happened. Yeah,

0:54:22.760 --> 0:54:24.759
<v Speaker 1>But I'm with you, David. I can't see them doing

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a press conference that they announced their parting ways. Maybe

0:54:27.160 --> 0:54:29.440
<v Speaker 1>they do a press conference where Jerry and Stephen recapped

0:54:29.480 --> 0:54:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the season and and talk about why they parted ways.

0:54:33.800 --> 0:54:35.799
<v Speaker 1>But man, I don't know, all right, So I don't

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:39.480
<v Speaker 1>know what I'll say, Like, I don't I don't think

0:54:39.600 --> 0:54:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett's coming back. I don't know why it takes

0:54:43.640 --> 0:54:45.680
<v Speaker 1>sixteen meetings to figure that out. I was with you

0:54:45.800 --> 0:54:48.319
<v Speaker 1>until Monday, and I smooth taught myself r I didn't

0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:51.440
<v Speaker 1>do this, doesn't make this way. I'm gonna put my

0:54:51.480 --> 0:54:52.880
<v Speaker 1>feet up on the desk and when they tell me,

0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:55.640
<v Speaker 1>they tell me, I'm I don't know, I don't know

0:54:56.320 --> 0:54:59.120
<v Speaker 1>find out. This was fun, Rob, Thanks for hanging out
