1 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is an exclusive 3 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: presentation of Dallas Cowboys Breaking News. What's up everyone, I 4 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: don't know if this is breaking news. There's some stuff 5 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: that maybe broke this week and this morning, and we're 6 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: just here to talk about it. I'm Nick Eatman, Dave Hellman, 7 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips. You guys know us, and you know we're 8 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: supposed to just do one podcast a week. But yeah, 9 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: if stuff happens on Friday, you know it's January and 10 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: your football season's not one hundred percent over until you 11 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: get all this staff stuff settled. Head on a swivel 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: all the time. And so this morning, Jerry Jones gotten 13 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: on the radio and did some talking and he was 14 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: in utter mood that he was last Friday. I think 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: last Friday was probably the reason why we were We 16 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: had all this to talk about this. This was not 17 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: a scheduled appearance, was it? He called into the fan 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: because he had some stuff to say. Yeah. He he 19 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: didn't even just call it like he told them ahead 20 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: of time. He was like, hey, I'm calling it ten. 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: We got some stuff that we need to talk about. 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: So and every reporter in town is so excited about that. Um, 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: they obviously want their chance to interview Jerry. And and 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: you know there's that's and that's been going on for 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: the last couple of years with with COVID. I mean 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: you usually Jerry has made a lot more appearances, uh, 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: just after a game or a training camp or whatever. 28 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: But you know, it's kind of been one oh five 29 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: three the fan that's that's done. I would say the 30 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: majority of Jerry talks so and you well with players 31 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: post yeah, yeah, you've had I've had something, yeah, but 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: but Jerry, but it comes to Jerry though, the guy 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: that's saying stuff. Yeah, I mean it definitely. Um, you 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: know it's resorting to the radio. So let let's get 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: to that. Let's say, well, what do he talked about? 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: What was and I'll start with you what was the 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: number one thing that he said this morning that kind 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: of caught your attention? Well, I mean dan Quinn. We're 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: here for breaking news about dan Quinn that he's staying 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: and that Jerry termed it as for some years to 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: come as the defensive coordinator. We'll see what happens a 42 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: year from now, depending on how the team goes, how 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: the defense performs, maybe there's more opportunities for dan quinn 44 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: going forward. But he put to rust any speculation about 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's job for twenty twenty two, and that's what 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: everybody's been wondering for the last week. And I think 47 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: that was that you could qualify as breaking news in itself, 48 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: even though he told not the guys on the fan 49 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: who did a good job asking the questions like I 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: didn't create this, you know, this is speculation about Mike's 51 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: job and I never said that his job was in question. Yeah, 52 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: I mean that's my big takeaways Just what just the 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: quintessential Cowboys news cycle is what we just went through, 54 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: not dull, but never dull, the way that it can 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: just kind of materialize at a thin air. Because whether 56 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: he did it on purpose or not, Jerry did start this. 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: He might not have meant to, but his lack of 58 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: commentary on Mike's job security and the question was specific 59 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: question was is Mike you're coach in twenty twenty two 60 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: and he just was like, I don't want to talk 61 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: about anybody on our staff. I'm not doing that. All 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: the guys I want under contractor under contract, which so 63 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: he did sort of say it, but he didn't say, hell, yeah, 64 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: Mike's our guy. And so then the biggest, most visible 65 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: franchise in the league that everybody in media, for better 66 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: or for worse, nos generates conversation and attention, kind of 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: starts taking that and running with it. I also don't think, 68 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: I do not think it would have become what it 69 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: was if Sean Payton hadn't coincidentally retired on Tuesday, which 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with this. Although I'm you're going 71 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: to get to that, I assume, well, yeah, I mean, 72 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: well before we get to that, because you know, when 73 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Jerry talks about it, talks about Sean Payton and stuff 74 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: like that. That's stuff that we report on. We don't, 75 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, typically talk about other teams players or coaches. 76 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: He's not another coach right now for another team. I 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: mean he is, He's out there. I guess, like it's 78 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: kind of weird. He I mean, the Saints still hold. 79 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: So I mean, I do think you're still at the 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: end of the day talking about, yeah, somebody else's employee. 81 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: Because for better and it's not just the Cowboys, like 82 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: any team that wanted to acquire him would they would 83 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: have to compensate the sense like you don't just call 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: him and say, hey, come over here. Yeah, and Jerry 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: Jerry was asked to direct questions about him and and 86 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: there they're friends, they have a relationship going forward. I 87 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: think that was he was complimentary of his career as 88 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: a coach. It wasn't really in the perspective of speculation 89 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: about next year and what Sean would do and all 90 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: of that, which is a whole another layer to this 91 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: McCarthy stuff that his job is safe and all of that. 92 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: But again, I think I just think that through ga 93 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: lean on the fire and obvious out regardless of whether 94 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: he meant to do it or not, like Jerry Jones 95 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: recognized that this is something he needs to kind of 96 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: put the kabash on, because again he called unscheduled and 97 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: was like, let's Mike is not twisting in the wind. 98 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Mike helped me get Dan back here all week and 99 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: he actually so I wrote the story about this. He 100 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: did make an interesting comment that slipped past me um 101 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: when it was live. He was like, he's like Mike 102 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: told y'all at his press conference that we had talked 103 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: and he was good and just nobody listened to him 104 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: like nobody cared that he said that that did happen? Well, 105 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: I know, but did Mike say specifically, yes, I was, 106 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm going full steam ahead and the 107 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: way he put it, and so read into that how 108 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: you want, Mike. But Mike Fisher also was like, so 109 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: this it's a non issue for you, and Mike was 110 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was like, yeah, I mean it's again. Maybe 111 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: he wasn't just like, yeah, Jerry told me I'm the 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: I for five more years, but semantics it was. It 113 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: seemed pretty clear coming from McCarthy that he wasn't really 114 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: concerned about it. Jerry strikes again though again here we 115 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: are Friday before the conference championship games. Yeah, and it's 116 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: what happens Dallas Cowboys's good for us. We got a 117 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: website to fill. Dave said in late January, I'm gonna 118 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: be I'm a lot not playing anymore. I'm a lot 119 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: less stressed, like do we have enough content to get 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: us through the next you know, next week or not 121 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: weekend or not playing anymore. But got a huge victory. 122 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: He did say that quote huge victory. Let's talk about 123 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Dan a little bit more there that deserves to be 124 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: the storyline, like more so than the stuff with Mike. 125 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Like it, it's pretty remarkable that they managed to keep him. 126 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about all the jobs he 127 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: was interviewing for and so then and then without Dan talking, now, 128 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: it's just a lot of speculation. Maybe he didn't want 129 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: a quarterback, Maybe he didn't like the quarterback situation in 130 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: other places, Maybe he wants to coach here, whatever it is. 131 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: I just I don't know if y'all got this feeling. 132 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I kind of got it about a week ago that 133 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: just like, this is not and I said, was it's 134 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: not a slam dunk, but he's gone. Didn't know for 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: sure that he was going to stay. I just got 136 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: this feeling that it was not just that I'm out 137 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: the door. I'm getting a job somewhere. And and you know, 138 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: I wonder how much Michael Parsons plays into this. You know, 139 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: how much do you really want to coach this guy? Um? 140 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe he'll carry him, you know, they'll 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: carry each other. Two greater things. I just I thought 142 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: it was a slam dunk. I just I'm just doing 143 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: the mental math, like, Okay, six of these eight openings 144 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: have asked to talk to him, and he's a finalist 145 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: for two of them, and Denver in Chicago. Those those 146 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: on paper, I'm not intimately familiar with them, but those 147 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: look like good situations to me. I mean, Denver's got 148 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: some great players in the secondary that you can work 149 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: with Simmons and Certanu obviously, I mean Cago working with 150 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack and Roquan Smith sounds fun to me. Plus 151 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: the whatever you've got in justin field. So I thought 152 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: he was gone. I definitely thought he was gone, and 153 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: credit credit to Jerry that he's not. I guess I 154 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: thought there was a chance that he could come back 155 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: one because we kind of heard those rumblings in two. 156 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: There's a couple of reasons. One Jerry. When Jerry wants 157 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: to keep somebody, whether it's or sign somebody, whether it's 158 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: a free agent, Jerry finds a way to get it done. 159 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't always work with coaches, but he referenced a 160 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: couple of different situations in the last fifteen years, one 161 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: of them being Sean Payton. After the fourth season, Sean 162 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: was the assistant head coach quarterbacks coach, and the Raiders 163 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: wanted him and they bumped his salary up pretty nice 164 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: to stay with with Bill Parcels. And then it was 165 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett after the seven season when they won thirteen games, 166 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: staying on as THEOC. So when Jerry wants something done 167 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: like this, he can find a way to get it done. 168 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: Whether he didn't he didn't. He didn't specifically talk about 169 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: salary with Dan, but I think it's been reported there was. 170 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: There was an extent there he did. And again something 171 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: I missed, he did say the word extend, so like 172 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: they extended Dan, he did say extend. He said, yeah, 173 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: he did. The other side of it too, is you 174 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: mentioned some of those good players on those other teams 175 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: and justin fields like I believe, I think he's going 176 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: to turn out to be a really good starter in 177 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: the league. But in terms of like the job openings 178 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 1: that were out there, how many like true franchise quarterbacks 179 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: are there. And if there's one thing I took away 180 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: from the playoff weekend last week, is you got to 181 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: have one of those guys, and especially if you're going 182 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: to coach in the AFC West moving forward. And I 183 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: think that that Dan probably looked I don't know if 184 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: he looked at it. That way. But he's got enough 185 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: clout and enough accomplishments as opposed to a first year coordinator, 186 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: a guy that's just starting out to say I could 187 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: probably run this back and still have opportunities. The writing 188 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: is absolutely on the wall that I mean, we'll be 189 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: going through this again next year, just in terms of 190 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: like Dan being a coordinator to know. As far as 191 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: job openings, well, you know, if the Cowboys don't make 192 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: it to the divisional round or to play out, you 193 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: know whatever, I don't know if we're gonna be talking 194 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: about it the same way. I mean I don't. It 195 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: just depends on what it looks like, right, I mean, 196 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: if the defense looks like it did this year and 197 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: it is pretty clearly not the reason why they're at home, yeah, 198 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it'll change anything for him. Well, no, 199 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll change anything for him. I think 200 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: it'll change something for Mike McCarthy. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, 201 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: which would maybe change something for Dan Quinn. If it's 202 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: the same type of situation where you know, the games 203 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys lost, you know they lost in the 204 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City, couldn't score touchdown, I think dan Quinn did 205 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: a pretty good job with that defense against Mahomes. And 206 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: then you know, like if it's losses like that where 207 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: they're losing they scored seventeen points and didn't win, then 208 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: then yeah, I think I think there's a way to 209 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: do that. But I've always said this about assistance that 210 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: might take over. It's like, as long as they're not 211 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: the reason why the coach is getting fired, which I 212 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: always thought was weird about Jason Garrett and Wade Phillips, 213 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: like how's this going to happen? You know, So it's 214 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: always tricky. It's it's always a risk too for a 215 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: coach to he may never be this hot as an 216 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: assistant coming off of this seat, like six teams plus 217 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: wanting to talk to you. But like I said, the 218 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: guys wanted Super Bowl as a DC. He really should 219 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: have a Super Bowl as a head coach. The way 220 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: that thing ended, I know he doesn't, but he had 221 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: his team in position to do that biggest comeback in 222 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl history. I mean, it's it's unfathomable what happened 223 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: there against New England. But to your point about Mica, like, yeah, 224 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure he looks at it like I've got two 225 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: of maybe the top five best young defensive players in 226 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: the league. Now, all three levels of this defense could 227 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: look different though, in terms of the free agents and 228 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: the guys they got to try to keep and to 229 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: draft and all that stuff. Defense. We talk about it 230 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: all the time. We've talked about it on our show, 231 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: like it's harder to sustain top tier success on defense 232 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: than it is on offense, especially when you think about 233 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: everything that could be in flux. I mean, two of 234 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: the five best playmakers on this defense or headed for 235 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: free agency right now. Yeah, so I mean, yeah, you 236 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: got I'll keep all that stuff. Here's the thing about 237 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: about having dan Quinn back that I think is so 238 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: exciting is that now And we didn't see it last 239 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: year because we didn't know what to expect. But I'm 240 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: just gonna make up a random player. I don't even 241 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: I don't even just making up a guy like on 242 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: Madden Mode. Okay, there's a linebacker named Chris Robinson and 243 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: he's a fourth year guy, and he played for the 244 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: Colts and the Jets or whatever, and he's a special 245 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: teams guy and he's had a lot of he started 246 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: twelve games one year, but a mainly special teams guy, 247 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: but he's really tall and long and whatever. And he 248 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: signs here on a two year deal and you're like, 249 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: who's this guy? Just like we said about who's jay 250 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: Ron Curse. But the difference is is that dan Quinn 251 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: has vision for these guys. He had one for Curse, 252 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: he had one for for you know, a lot of 253 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: those draft picks he brought in. So now when we 254 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: now on free agency, when he signed some guy that 255 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: just because you hadn't heard of, You're like, well, I'm 256 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: gonna hold the whole judgment on this because Jalon Kurst 257 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: should have been in the Pro Bowl and still might 258 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: be depending on alternatives. Yeah, so the expectations on a 259 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: million dollars signing in March are gonna be different this 260 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: time around. I would get and be like, Okay, well 261 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: you know he, oh he coached a MI in Atlanta. 262 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: It's like, well, he coached Kazy in Atlanta two and 263 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: he was pretty good, you know, not Cam O'Neil. Thing 264 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: didn't really work out like I thought it would, And yeah, 265 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: I thought he'd be better than that. But you know, 266 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: it's funny you talked about vision though, because I think 267 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: Mike is the best example of that, like Mica Micah Parsons. Yeah, 268 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: like it is. Would previous regimes have been as creative 269 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: or willing to jump him into situations like they did 270 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: last year Week two. You lose Randy and DeMarcus for 271 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: that Week two game against the Charge. Say no, he's 272 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: a defensive end. He's a pass rusher for fifty snaps 273 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: and he can do it. And to trust him to 274 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: do that. I mean that the point about you made 275 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: about putting guys in position, like, he's the best example 276 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: of finding all It's like having a great trainer in boxing, 277 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Like that's what Quinn is to Michael Parsons and to me, 278 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: having Quinn back to help mikea grow is as big 279 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: as what you talk about having an OC and keep 280 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: the structure in place for a quarterback. To me, that's 281 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: the same type of thing on defense. Well, that makes sense. 282 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: That's a great segue. We can get into keeping the 283 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: same structure on offense with an offensive coordinator. I thought 284 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: one of the most interesting things that Jerry said was 285 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: as when it was being reported again that Kellen Moore 286 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: is interviewing for the second time with the Dolphins, and 287 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: Jerry said, yes, I might get the sense that he 288 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: will be back, So I guess he's predicting how the 289 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: interview will go, or maybe he's hearing what Miami's really 290 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: looking for. Yeah, I don't know. I thought that was 291 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Yeah, I got a guy for a 292 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: second interview. I'm kind of like, who you know, who's 293 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: got his locker, who's taking over his office? I mean, 294 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're thinking. Absolutely, And I think 295 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: Kellen's scheduled to go talk to them on like Monday 296 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: or early next week was the report. But yeah, I 297 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: mean Jerry made it sound like he's gonna be back, 298 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: and honestly that I don't think that should be surprising, 299 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: just with the way the season ended. The offense couldn't 300 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: really find a groove for the second half of the season. 301 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I know people listening to this. I think 302 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: I said this in the office yesterday. Like the attitude 303 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: from the fan base right now is either like, if 304 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Kellen comes back, it's either yeah, I guess that's fine, 305 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: or oh God, no, please God not Kellen Moore. Like 306 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: nobody's like actively campaigning quite a shift, dude, October. I'm 307 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: gonna remember this. I'm gonna remember this season for a 308 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: long time, for a lot of reasons. But I just 309 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: in October, like we were just buried in emails and 310 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: questions and tweets about like what what are we going 311 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: to have to do to Like I can't watch Kellen 312 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: coaching the Dolphins next year. I just can't do it. 313 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? Jerry do something, Jerry, Jerry Jerry, 314 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: And now he's like public enemy number one. And I'm 315 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: not like he deserves criticism, like the offense lost its mojo, 316 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: but I still think it's funny how quickly things flipped 317 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: for him. I'm glad you said that, though, because because 318 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: I think there's fans that are still so pissed about 319 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: this loss that you know, Jerry's calling this a huge 320 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: victory getting Dan Quinn, and I think he's absolutely right 321 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: because of what Dan. I think Dan contributed to, not 322 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: just the defense, but I think he helped change culture 323 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: around here too, just with his presence. But it doesn't 324 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: change the fact that they didn't do what they needed 325 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: to do or wanted to do, and there are still 326 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: problems that have to be fixed going forward, and the 327 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: offense is one of them. I mean, the offense is 328 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: It's such a hard position to evaluate because number one, 329 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: the stats, all those things, the rankings, but like the 330 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: eye tests shows they weren't the same group down the stretch, 331 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: especially against the better defenses that they faced, and that's 332 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: something they've got to fix. Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, 333 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, anyway you slice the numbers, he is just 334 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: the number one offense. And I know that in yards 335 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: that ranked that way. They're not ranked that way in 336 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: other categories. And I think, and I think really, like 337 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: you said, against against the better teams, a better competition, 338 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: they didn't do that. And my biggest issue with Kellen 339 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: Moore is just the slow starts. And I think that 340 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: does start with preparation. It starts with the coordinator for 341 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: whatever the reason. They seem to do a good job 342 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: of adjusting figuring it out later, but it's too late. 343 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: It's been. It was too late against Arizona. It was 344 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: definitely too late against San Francisco. I mean, they go now. 345 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't too late against the Giants. Early in the 346 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: year Carolina, there were some games where they kind of 347 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: slowed had New England, they had some slow start to 348 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans, and they were able to figure it out. 349 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: But against the better teams, you start like that, you 350 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: get punched in the mouth. You're pretty much in the 351 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: ropes and staggered. In retrospect, I think, and you can 352 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: go back and find the quotes about stuff like this, 353 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: like I think that early success and overcoming some of 354 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: that early adversity gave him a false sense of confidence 355 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: or they leaned, they leaned too much on it at 356 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: any respect, and that it was so frustrating, like week 357 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: after week it was like, we know we can do it, 358 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: we've done it, we'll turn it on and it's like, okay, 359 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: well but why just why why did you do it now? 360 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: Why why don't you just do it now? A great 361 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: example of that is the game that kind of turned 362 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: everything it seemed like, is the Denver game, especially offensively, 363 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: even though even though Denver's game plan wasn't the exact 364 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: copycat thing that every team tried. And then the following 365 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: week they put up forty three and probably that was 366 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: the most dominant game that they played against Atlanta, and 367 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: so even I know, I was like, oh blueprint, huh okay, 368 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: yeah no, because we've seen for half a season what 369 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: this offense can do, and so you weren't really worried 370 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: about it. They weren't really worried about it. You know. 371 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: It's what's funny about the Denver game is not funny, 372 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: But like every other loss, the Arizona, San Francisco, the 373 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay game, Oh Oakland Sorry Raiders, and maybe not 374 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but those four losses. If they Cowboys had 375 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: like three more minutes on the clock, they probably would 376 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: have won the sixty minute game. But you know, three 377 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: four more minutes probably win that game. You could have 378 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: had two more hours against Denver win in that game. 379 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: I mean the league. Turner is not going to keep 380 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: catching touchdowns, and that's one of those things like you 381 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: have you ever been, I know you have, like you've 382 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: been on the other side of a beat down and 383 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: you get aggravated, you start playing prevent and you're like, we, 384 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: like I wanted to win this game. Thirty to three, 385 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: thirty to sixteen does not reflect what we did. That's 386 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: how I feel about the Denver game. Like Dallas didn't 387 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: even good for malage Turner for putting those stats up, 388 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: but like Dallas didn't deserve to save face. Yeah in 389 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, you know, like that's how badly they 390 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: got destroyed in that game. Yeah, and kind of to 391 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: that point, Jerry said after the game against the forty 392 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: nine ers that the score wasn't necessarily reflective of the 393 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: way that game went. And it was. I think it 394 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: was twenty three seven at one point, and it just 395 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: wasn't close until the very end. And I got a 396 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: little frustrated. The day after we're talking about the last play, 397 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: and look, you know it, that is frustrating. They didn't 398 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: get that last heave to the end zone, but like 399 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: enough wasn't done early to put you in position to 400 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: probably win that football game. I don't I don't ever 401 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about the draw again. I mean, I 402 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: know we're going to, but that's yeah, I agree. It's 403 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: the drive with two forty one and all your timeouts 404 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: that stands out in my mind more so than what 405 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: they called in a borderline hopeless situation. All right, another segue, 406 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: because the guy that didn't get it done that his 407 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: name is Dak Prescott. He's the quarterback. And they didn't 408 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: make some all the throws and they didn't get the 409 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: snap off and all that good stuff. Well, Jerry, that's 410 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: another thing that Jerry mentioned today. I mean, like that's 411 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: to me when he pushes you know, all of the 412 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: chips in because he already has literally pushed his chips 413 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: in on deck with paying him, and he's going to 414 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: continue to do that, which the only the only thing 415 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: that I look at then, as I say, well, if 416 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: he's willing to do that about Dak, you could have 417 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: done that again with McCarthy last Friday, Like you could 418 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: have done that because you do it with other things 419 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: like you do it with Dak. He's like his excitement 420 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: level for this year it starts with Dak. Yeah, I mean, yeah, 421 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: it's his reason. He said. He was like, I didn't 422 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about any of our coaches because we 423 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: were trying to negotiate to keep Dan here. And I 424 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: was like, what is guaranteeing McCarthy's future have to do 425 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: with whether or not you can keep Quinn? Like I don't, 426 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: that doesn't really. Yeah, he just kind of threw it 427 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: all in one umbrella. I'm not talking about the staff 428 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, which, and I think knowing Jerry, we've 429 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: all listened to him talk a lot, Like I guess 430 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: I get it in the sense of like once he 431 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: starts going, sometimes you don't know where it's going to end. 432 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: So if he starts talking about McCarthy, maybe I guess 433 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: I can see it. But interesting, Yeah, well, and at 434 00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: this point, you know, he says his excitement starts with Dakan, 435 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: so does this payroll? I mean, like when you look 436 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: at everything average per year, total condra, everything starts with Dak. 437 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: So there's really can't be another answer, right, I mean, 438 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: there can't be any other. I mean, the Giants are 439 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: saying they're going to build around Daniel Jones. I mean, 440 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: that's what you do, that's what you say, So yeah 441 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: that I mean it has to be that way, but 442 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: I do I do think that they'd be very naive 443 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: to not think that. You know, if you want him 444 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: to get back to twenty sixteen Dak and that guy, 445 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: or at least that success, then the running game has 446 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: to be there again, and the offensive line has to 447 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: be better, and your center has to be I mean, 448 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: he has to have to be at all pro but 449 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: he certainly needs to be better than what they have. 450 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think there's a lot of issues 451 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: around Dak that that's got to be fixed. It's hard 452 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: to do. It's beating up forty million, it's the number 453 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: one thing for me, the old line slash running game, 454 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: in addition to Dak himself, and Dak has said I 455 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: got I gotta be better. I think one reason why 456 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: Jerry is so confident, Like you said, he's not going anywhere, 457 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: he's paying forty million a year to him, but he 458 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: knows how Dak works. I think we know how Dak works. 459 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: I think we know Dak's gonna put himself in position 460 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: to be better. I think a year removed from that 461 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: injury will help him maybe be willing, more mobile than 462 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: he was, and maybe he will see more of that 463 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: aspect of Dak's game next year. But he's got to 464 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: be better. He knows it, and I think I think 465 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: the scheme has to be better. I think Mike McCarthy 466 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: spoke to that after the season. We've got to tweak 467 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: some things, even though it's going to be the same 468 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: foundation of the scheme, whether Kellen's back or not, whether 469 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: Kellen leaves for a job or not. And we can 470 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: sit here and say it, but also when Hall of 471 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks say it, like Kurt Warner who watches tape 472 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: third party wise or Troy Aikman says it, and why 473 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: aren't the top receivers getting the ball. There are things 474 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: they can do schematically to help Dak Prescott as well. Yeah. Absolutely, 475 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: I think everything y' all just said is fair. But 476 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's it's easy to overreact 477 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: to the negatives. I mean, talking about getting back to 478 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, I don't want that. I just need him 479 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: to get back to September of twenty twenty one. I mean, 480 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: they were doing all that stuff. They were averaging one 481 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: sixty on the ground, like Dak was not a mirage 482 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: that happened. Dak was in the MVP conversation at about 483 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: week ten of the season and he had done it again. 484 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they beat up on some bad teams, 485 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: but he had done it against some good teams. I mean, 486 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: they set the NFL record for yards against the Belichick defense, 487 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: and I mean a pretty damn good defense that wound 488 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: up going to the playoffs. Played one of the I 489 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: bring it up all the time they lost the game. 490 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: I get that he played amazing against the reigning division 491 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: or reigning Super Bowl champions. I mean that success was 492 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: there as recently as October. So I don't think you 493 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,479 Speaker 1: have to reinvent the wheel to get back to it. 494 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: The running games gotta get better. The offensive line has 495 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: to get better. Think Kellen Moore could do a better 496 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: job of highlighting his playmakers. The regularity with which different 497 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: receivers disappear from the game plan is ridiculous and shouldn't happen. 498 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: But I don't think it takes drastic changes to get 499 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: back to being successful. Go back and look at his 500 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: passer ratings. When they run the ball, Oh it is, 501 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: it is when they play so much more efficient. They 502 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: were playing on god mode from the first week until 503 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: Dak got hurt. Maybe that's a coincidence, maybe it's not. 504 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: But what I just but they were running the hell 505 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: out of the ball, right, Well, I mean that is important. 506 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to get it twisted like I don't 507 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: want Dak throwing fifty balls a game. All right, Well, 508 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: then rank these things as as the reason for the 509 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: drop off, because there there obviously was. You said god mode. 510 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: It certainly didn't finish that way, So let's let's let's 511 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: rank it because I think you can you want to 512 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: add a fifth win in here, but I think the 513 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: four things you can say of why did it turn 514 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: um in no particular order the competition got better. Did 515 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: they get figured out on defense? Like blueprint? Does Zeke's 516 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: injury really help? And and how about a hurt? And 517 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: how about Dak's injury? Yeah, of those four things, and 518 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: it's a combination of all because sometimes when you're taking tests, 519 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: I mean, all of the above is the answer. No 520 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: one likes that, but it is the you know, what 521 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: do you think though, is the biggest factor of those 522 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: You mentioned a line earlier. I would throw in that, 523 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: like Mike told us in the off season last year, 524 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: that wins are it equates to wins when you've got 525 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: the same five all year long. How many combinations have 526 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: they had over the last two years? And like even 527 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: even even the start to the season was good, but 528 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: they could not seem to figure out the five they 529 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: wanted until the irony. It was self inflicted. This year. 530 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: They did it to themselves this year. They I mean 531 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: try and look, they tried Connor McGovern. We're going up 532 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: to Arrowhead, who had never started it, left guard before 533 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: I could be able to hear. And you're going up 534 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: against Chris Jones. We'll see how you do. They like 535 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: they definitely benched Connor Williams, they Suedo benched Lyle Collins. 536 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, whatever the hell that was? Tyron's in out 537 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: of lineup again, and they just decided to play tackle 538 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: by committee one week when Tyron wasn't invader, just like, yeah, like, 539 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: you'll do this in passing situations, and you'll do this 540 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: in running situations. We know no coach has ever said 541 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: that that's a winning strategy, but we're just gonna give 542 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: it a try. Ironically, I think they won that game. 543 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: And what they didn't do was they didn't have any 544 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: kind of veteran competition for Tyler Beotish. Ever, they never did. 545 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: You've been saying that since summer Tony they could have 546 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: paid Joe Looney in the offseason something, and it's almost 547 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: like they didn't want him to be a progress stopper. 548 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: But I just don't know how much progress they had. 549 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: And I think the combination Tyler Beiottish would have been 550 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: fine if you've got a you know, Zach Martin Ron 551 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: Leary thing going on at guard or I think Connor 552 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: Williams would have been fine with the Travis Frederick there 553 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: at center. But the combination of both, I think it's easy. 554 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: You know, we hear Bucky Brooks say all the time 555 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: about where's Waldo and you're on defense and looking at 556 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: what where you gonna attack, You're gonna go right there. 557 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna miss. With Zach Martin, I'm gonna miss. 558 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right here and just try to figure 559 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: something out. To your question, I think the injury to 560 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: Zeke and whatever the hell happened with the offensive line, 561 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: something something went awry there that wasn't good enough to 562 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: just dominate on the ground to the degree to make 563 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: life really easy on Dak And he insisted he was healthy. 564 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: I guess I have to take him at his word, 565 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: but he either wasn't fully healthy, or if he was, 566 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: he just mentally wasn't in a trusting place where he's 567 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: just gonna let it rip and not be worried about 568 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: his injury. Something there prevented him from playing at a 569 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: level where he could make up for that. And Yeah, 570 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's that's pretty much it as far as 571 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm concerned. Yeah, that's to your point. When he came 572 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: back from the injury, it was the Denver game, the 573 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: famous Denver game, and he talked about how his footwork 574 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: and his fundamentals weren't where they needed to be. It 575 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: seemed like maybe that wasn't he never really got back 576 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: in the rhythm that he that in that regard too, 577 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: that he probably wanted to bust out those red, white 578 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: and blue helmets again or yes, yes, yeah they look 579 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: they look badass. I don't care that they played like crap. 580 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: Wear them again. Yeah, just keep doing it until you win. 581 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: You beat somebody with them. All right? Uh, real quick, 582 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: what what are we looking at here? In the next 583 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks? What's what's I You've Senior Bowl for you? Yeah, 584 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: I mean Senior Bowl takes on a new significance now 585 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: because we we pretty like we know the staff. I 586 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: don't know if they're going, but I can get my 587 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: eyes on some dan Quinn guys. You see a six 588 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: three corner or somewhere or something, You're like, okay, I'm watching. No, 589 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: there's a there's a six four corner on the roster, 590 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna keep an eye on you. Um, 591 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: what's going on? It's on your plate here changing diapers. 592 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: And besides besides that, um, you know Mike McCarthy that 593 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: you know they did the exit interviews with the players 594 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: last week. This week, they're going through this process of 595 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: evaluating what the coaching staff did this year. So we know, 596 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: obviously we knew Mike was coming back regardless, Uh, Dan's back, 597 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: Kellen very well, maybe back. Any other changes on the 598 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: staff like that's still yet to be determined. And I 599 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: think most most of the staff is under contract, but 600 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: we'll see what may happen there. Way, it had some interviews, yeah, 601 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: I think yeah, And there's like one coach that's out 602 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: of contract. I think there's there's that, and uh, you know, 603 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: there's Pro Bowl and there's guys up for awards coming up. 604 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: We'll see if Michael Parsons gets any hardware coming up. 605 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, I just wanted a little bit 606 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: of extra breaking news. Pro Football Writers of America have 607 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: put out their awards and stuff. Joe Burrow got Comeback 608 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: Player of the Year, not Dak. But we'll see what 609 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: the NFL award is here in a couple of weeks. 610 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: I mean, same voters right, with lots and lots of 611 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: due respect to Dak. I mean I think people at 612 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: large are gonna it's it's not about how he starts, 613 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: how you finish and Joe Burrow is one of the 614 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: stories of the season right now. Maybe it's because we 615 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: were there, but I just thought it was a no 616 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: brainer that Dak would get that award because I mean, 617 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, we saw it. I completely agree. I said 618 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: in October on our show that like, just give Dak 619 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: comeback Player of the Year right now, just give it 620 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: to him. I think I said it after they beat 621 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: the Giants on the anniversary of his injury. It just 622 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: looked like a more serious injury than Joe's. I'm convinced 623 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: people could change their votes. I mean, if you can. 624 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: If you can, you know, elect the president in one day, 625 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: which you know sometimes we don't, but for the most part, 626 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: you can. I think you can. You can do stuff 627 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: like this in a week or two. So I do 628 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: think some guy turns in Dak Prescott and then sees 629 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: Burrow win in the playoffs and say, guys, I'm changing that. 630 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: Change my vote please, even if it happens, I don't 631 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: know if voting is still open in the playoffs, but 632 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: even if it isn't like Burrow and I'm nobody's gonna 633 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: Obviously people think I'm compromised because of what I think 634 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: about Joe Burrow, but he tore like all the ligaments 635 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: in his knee. Was back, and that happened in December, 636 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: by the way, it happened like the last of the season. 637 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: He was back healthy and ready for the opener, and 638 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: the Bengals just caught fire like they I mean, they 639 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: picked fifth overall in in April and one one of 640 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: the toughest divisions in football, and are in the AFC 641 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: title game. Like I said, I don't know when voting stops, 642 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: but he's definitely worthy. I mean, he's definitely could easily 643 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: win it. You could also say for what Dak did, 644 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: Dak is incredibly deserved the contract to set cowboy records 645 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: to win twelve games. Yeah, both of them. So, I mean, yeah, 646 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: they both you know, and you know I have my point. 647 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: I'll comeback play of the Year. I don't even think 648 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: it should be one of those guys. I think it 649 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: should be other guys. You know, I'd vote Randy Gregory 650 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: over both of them personally, but um, that's it's a 651 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: different type of comeback. And you know it. Narratives. Yeah, 652 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: it's all built on narratives. If you go back to fourteen, 653 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean, rom Romo played like the MVP of the 654 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: league from Thanksgiving on or you know, right around there, 655 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: like second half of the season. But by that point, 656 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: all of that stuff's kind of been written and it's 657 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 1: Rogers and it's Wad and it's like, we don't have 658 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: time to consider a new guy in December, right, But man, 659 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: he played like it for at least like seven weeks 660 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: of that season. Yeah, and then I would imagine here 661 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: in the next few days, you'll probably hear some more 662 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys going to the Pro Bowl, for sure, CD Lamb. 663 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we were pretty much know that that's going 664 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: to happen. There's these two receivers on either team of 665 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: the NFC gonna both go to the Super One is 666 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl. That's going to open up 667 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: a spot. I'm pretty sure Cede Lamb will be one 668 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: of them. Are you trying to say that it's never 669 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: quiet around here? It's never quiet. That's fine though, because 670 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm hopefully people are listening, and well, you know, I'm 671 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 1: not saying we'll do this every Friday, but you know, 672 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: you know, well, if if things pop up and Chris 673 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: beam back there is you know, not on the golf course, 674 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: then we'll Chris lives here. What are we talking. That's true. 675 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: He's got a sleeping bag in there. Yeah. I do 676 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: all right.
