The Colin Coward Podcast 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: presented by the Fan Duel Sports Book. Hi everybody, and 12 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: welcome in to our Tuesday morning podcast talking some Dallas 13 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: cow Boys and more with Matt Mosley, longtime reporter opinionist 14 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,279 Speaker 1: in Dallas. My guy. Part of the volume, a couple 15 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: of thoughts. Though oftentimes we think something is wonderful, we 16 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: demand something, we want something, and then there's an unintended 17 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: consequence of that thing. A great example. People just complain 18 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: about cable. Your cable bill was too expensive. I want streaming. 19 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 1: Streaming is great. Netflix is great? Streaming well, Netflix, yes, 20 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: it was very successful and is and because of that 21 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: many big corporations like Amazon and Disney have also gotten 22 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: into streaming. Now there's like fifteen to twenty streaming services, 23 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: all charging meine nine or more per month. Now it 24 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: costs more than my cable and it's hard to keep 25 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: track of all the passwords and codes. How many times 26 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: have you thought, oh, I heard there's a great there's 27 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: a great show. Oh I forgot what streaming service it's on. 28 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: I try to watch something the other day on the 29 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 1: Actor Army Hammer. It was on Discovery Plus. It took 30 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: me ten minutes to sign up for Discovery Plus. Cable. 31 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: I contend, and I've always said this, if you like 32 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: college basketball and college football, you have to have cable. 33 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: And it's one of the great values in America. I 34 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: pay one hundred and twenty a month and I get 35 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: unbelievable college athletics three hundred and sixty five days a year. 36 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm keeping my caball and I think about that because 37 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: the transfer portal in college football is really viewed as 38 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: a gigantic win for everybody. Right, the player has mobility, 39 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: your team can solve a problem very quickly. Here's the 40 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: unintended consequence of it. It's important that Brian Kelly and 41 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and Mario Crystal Ball don't win eleven or 42 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: twelve games this year because there's like ten to twelve 43 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: great brands in college football. Maybe ten, USC is one 44 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: of those, right, you know you're Alabama's, Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, 45 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. If it becomes so easy to take one 46 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: of those top ten brands and win immediately with no struggle, 47 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: then why would you stay at a really good job 48 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: like Michigan State, a really good job like Wisconsin, you know, 49 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, Oregon? Why stay at those jobs? If the 50 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: transfer portal is some magic elixir to immediately at a 51 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: big brand Bama, USC Oklahoma solve all your issues. You 52 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: want it to be hard for even a great coach 53 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: to go to a big brand. You want him to 54 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: struggle because in the back of his mind, if he's 55 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: got a good job or a very good job, you 56 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: don't want him thinking, God, just get me to an Alabama, 57 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: Just get me to an Oklahoma. Just get me to 58 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: a USC, or a Notre Dame or a Miami. I 59 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: mean Nick Saban seven and six, first year, Pete Carroll 60 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: USC six and six first year Kirby smart eight and five. 61 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: It took dabble with Sweeney. It comes in four years. Yeah, 62 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: it's important that it's hard, even at LSU, even at USC, 63 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: even at Miami, even at Texas, even at Notre Dame, 64 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: even at Michigan. You want it to be kind of hard, 65 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: even if you're Jim harbaught Michigan. You don't want to 66 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: winning twelve games the first year. So the unintended consequence 67 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: of the transfer portal is that it may make it 68 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: really easy. I mean, did you notice this weekend the 69 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: SEC went fourteen and one. Why because in the transfer portal, 70 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: those are the richest college football programs, those that had little, 71 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: tiny issues, paid for them and solve them in the 72 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: off season. You want an SEC program if they fire 73 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: a coach in bringing a new one, you want it 74 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: to be a two year battle to get back to 75 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: the top. So the transfer portal is wonderful, but I 76 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: think there has to be some parameters, and I hope, 77 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: I hope we don't have coaches transferring to the level 78 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: of players. I want Brian to Kelly to stay at 79 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: LSU for seven, eight years, but I want him to 80 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: battle it for a year or two now, Lincoln Riley's different. 81 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: He needs to win a national championship in four months. 82 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: That would appease me. There are exceptions to every rule 83 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: in life. Speaking of Lincoln Riley, listen, I understand fan 84 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: is short for fanatic, Like I get it. But there 85 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: are times in life you just got to admit that 86 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: you're hurt. And when Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma, it's okay 87 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: to admit it hurt because nobody'd ever left Oklahoma before 88 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: unless it was Barry Switcher to the Cowboys. Right like 89 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: USC is in California, they have over a hundred Division 90 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: one high school football players a year. The state of 91 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: Oklahoma's got eight. USC Big picture, it's a better brand. 92 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: It's a bigger brand. Okay, La entertainment capital of the world. 93 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Moving into nil and entertainment. It's just a better fit. 94 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: You're gonna get better players over time. But Lincoln Riley 95 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: coached four years at Oklahoma. He won eleven games minimum 96 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: each year. In two of Bob stoops final eight years, 97 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: he lost five games. Stoops is a defensive guy. Lincoln 98 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: Riley's an offensive guy. Lincoln Riley today is a better 99 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: coach than Bob Stoops was in his last five years 100 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. It doesn't mean Bob wasn't a legend, but 101 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: the game has changed. It's why McVeigh today is better 102 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: equipped for the NFL than Bill Belichick. I know it 103 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: sounds weird, right, I'm not taking anything away from Bill Belichick, 104 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: but culture, offense, quarter play is the future of the league. 105 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: It's not grumpy seventy year old defensive coaches letting Matt 106 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: Patricia call plays. I'm not taking away anybody's resume. Bob 107 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: Stoop is the Hall of Famer, but this morning in 108 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: college football, Lincoln Riley's a top three coach. It's not 109 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: about beating Rice. It's the fact that he took over 110 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: a Foreign eight program and they scored almost seventy points 111 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: in twenty seven minutes of having the football. Now, they're 112 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: gonna lose games this year. You can only fix so 113 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: many problems in eight months from an awful Foreign eight 114 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: football team. They have solved the offense, they have not 115 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: solved the front seven. Defensively, it's not very good. They 116 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: have one NFL player in their front seven. They can't 117 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: beat the big boys. They will struggle with Utah, Notre Dame, UCLA, 118 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Oregon State, and maybe Stanford and Fresno State. I think 119 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: they're a nine and three team. But if you're still 120 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: living in the past, and I get it, some people 121 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: are not progressive thinkers, you just got to come to 122 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: terms today. Sean mcvagh, if I could choose a coach 123 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: today to run my football program, I choose McVay over Belichick. 124 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: I choose Kyle Shanahan over Belichick for the next five years. 125 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: And I would choose Lincoln Riley over everybody. I would. 126 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, if Nick Saban took over USC 127 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: and Lincoln Riley took over USC like he just did, 128 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: who would turn it around faster in twenty twenty two? 129 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: I believe the answers Lincoln Riley speaking of dummies. Listen. 130 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: I don't talk a lot of politics. I really don't. 131 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Donald Trump's a grifter. But this 132 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: weekend was the hottest day in the history of San 133 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: Diego in September. It's like one hundred and five degrees 134 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: In Los Angeles. There's basically been no hurricanes this hurricane season. 135 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: At this point in folks, if you can't admit there's 136 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: some climate change, you're in the Lincoln Riley can't coach bracket. 137 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious what's happened. Now. I'm not blaming any individuals. 138 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: I'm not blaming regions, but good hell, you got to 139 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: open your eyes to this stuff and listen. It's a 140 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: big world. We're a small part of it. We can't 141 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: dictate terms for China, Turkey, parts of Europe, Russia. But 142 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: if you don't see what's happening, good hell, you're not 143 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: paying attention. We currently are in the middle of the 144 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: hottest September heatwave in the history of California hurricane season. 145 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: We've had none. Something's going on, right. It's sort of 146 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: like if you had a neighbor and you haven't seen 147 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: the affair, but you're hearing from the next door neighbor's 148 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: wife moaning and groaning while the husband is gone. Something's 149 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: going on. It's not good for the husband. I haven't 150 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: seen it, but I've got some evidence there's some hanky 151 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: panky going on. Something has changed. It's eight thirty. I 152 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: hear laughing moaning. Something's going on over there, and he's 153 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: out of town in a business trip. I'm just saying, 154 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: football's right around the corner.

He's my friend. He's Matt Mosley, 209 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: part of the Highliest successful Doomsday podcast with Edward or. 210 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: They talk a lot of Dallas cowboys, that's what they do, 211 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: and we haven't had Mosley on for a while and 212 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: his relevance and wit are highly in demand, and we 213 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: feel very lucky today that we have him. So first 214 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: of all, I hear I see this Jason Peters move today, 215 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: the left tackle who was moved about as well as 216 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: a coffee table with the Bears, and I thought, holy god, 217 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: this is awful. What do you make of that signing? 218 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: How's it playing in Dallas? You know it is Desperate 219 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: Times signing, and it's it's playing as here is a 220 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: former Arkansas player who Jerry Jones is going to feel 221 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: comfortable with. But he's forty years old. I believe we 222 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: looked up his birthday. He'll be forty one. And while 223 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: in some you know things in life, that's a nice 224 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: young age, certainly not to play left tackle, and so 225 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: I don't I think it's brought even more attention to 226 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: already sort of a bad situation. And so I kind 227 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: of love how they're playing it in the last twenty 228 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: four hours since he's gotten here. As of today, it's 229 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: being played is almost like he's a tutor. You know, 230 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: we brought in this unbelievable mentor for Tyler Smith and 231 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: it'll just be not another coach and he'll be in 232 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith's here when the reality of this is he's 233 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: here because there is a decent chance this could be 234 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: a disastrous situation for the Cowboys. And that's not even 235 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: a on this player, Tyler Smith. But they wanted him 236 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: nowhere near left tackle, and that is where he's going 237 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: to start his NFL career. Wow, you know I've made 238 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: this comparison on the air. I don't know if they 239 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: did it last time with you. I think the Cowboys 240 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: are turning into the Raiders when Al Davis got old. 241 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: So Al Davis and Jerry Jones are very similar. Their mavericks, contrarian, 242 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: street fighters, visionaries, and then you start getting into your 243 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: seventies and you start believing your press and you're not 244 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: quite cognitively as quick. And I think Jerry's had multiple 245 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: missteps in the last several years. Things he said he's 246 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: had to backtrack on. And I thought at the end 247 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: of Al Davis's reign he really romanticized, he really lived 248 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: in the rear view mirror. And I feel very much 249 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: that way with the way Jerry Jones handled Zeke as 250 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: if it's a running back league, as if you want 251 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: your running back to be the biggest cap hit. And 252 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: I look at Dallas right now and there. I think 253 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: they're dangerously close to becoming the last ten years of 254 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: Al Davis's Raiders. I think what saves them is the 255 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: division so damn awful. But I thought Philadelphia Matt had 256 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: a really really good offseason. Size up the Eagles offseason 257 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys and where they stand a day in 258 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: your opinion, Well, I think you saw Colin. The Eagles, 259 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, needed a safety slash corner in really they 260 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: need a safety help and they went made a trade. 261 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: And it's I think it irritates Cowboys fans that Howie Roseman, 262 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: who have gotten to know pretty well over the years, 263 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: is now being sort of celebrated. This is the guy 264 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: that's gotten ahead of things and he's got he's doing 265 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: these trades and he's solidified the team. And I don't 266 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: know if this is accurate or even fair, just based 267 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: on some of the offseason and then even the build 268 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: up to this season, people are now picking the Eagles 269 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: over the Cowboys and Jerry has no one else to 270 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: blame but himself. And you brought up the Zeke thing. 271 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: Zeke jumped in front of Dak and then Dak became 272 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: a man. Most people when they have a career altering 273 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: type injury. Don't like have a bunch of leverage. You 274 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: would think the Cowboys might be in the best position, 275 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: but because of how they handled it and they kept 276 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: kicking it down the road, they ended up having to 277 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: pay him enormous money. And so they've just mismanaged this 278 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: thing so much. To where and what you're saying about Jerry, 279 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: I think there's some truth to it. Although he's still 280 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: extremely quick, so cognitively I think he's fine. I think 281 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: sometimes he's just a bad you know, he just does 282 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: a bad job at some of this and he still 283 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: thinks he can snap it to where they were twenty six, 284 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: twenty seven years ago, And as we get farther and 285 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: farther away from that, it just seems so distant what 286 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are good at doing, and boy, you can 287 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: you've seen this. They're still good at landing sometimes like 288 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: unbelievable star players. This is a place for stars, and 289 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: like Micah Parsons, they have some individuals seedee lamb that 290 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: kind of blow people away. But over time, think about 291 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: the depth at wide receiver, the depth on the old line, 292 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: and nobody has just tremendous depth across the board, but 293 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys went from three years ago to people making 294 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: the statement this might be the best line in the 295 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: NFL to just being pretty awful. Like they're not solid 296 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: at left guard, they're not solid at center, they're very 297 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: solid at right guard, they're iffi at right tackle, and 298 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: now they're really iffiat left tackle. Because they wanted to 299 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: start Tyler Smith. His first year at left tackle was 300 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: supposed to be like the twenty twenty fourth season. That 301 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: would have been perfect Tyron Smith. Get him through two 302 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: more seasons and welcome this guy in to play left 303 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: tackle in twenty twenty four two twenty two season. He 304 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: is your starting left tackle. So Jerry wants to talk 305 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: him into being great. And so that's where Jerry and 306 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: Al may have simil similarities. And to your point, Jerry 307 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: worshiped Al like not only were they kind of similar 308 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: in some ways in Mavericks, but where do you think Jerry? 309 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that stuff Jerry did he 310 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: got from Al, and Al saw this guy and Jerry 311 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: like who that reminds me of myself? And he took 312 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: him under his wing. So I mean, your your comparison 313 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: there is right on. Well, listen, the Cowboys can flip 314 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: the script. They open up with Tampa and then it's 315 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Now, those are really high powered offenses. I 316 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: don't know what the Cowboys offense is. It's a battle line. 317 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: We know that Dak isn't Brady or Burrow. No, Cedric 318 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: Wilson and Amari Cooper. Tell me what I should expect 319 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: from the offense. Last year they scored a lot of points. 320 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: I think the Giants will be better. Philadelphia is absolutely better. 321 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: No idea what Washington is. But tell me what you 322 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: think the offense will look like? Well, what did what 323 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: they need it to look like. I don't know if 324 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: it'll look like it. They need to establish the run 325 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 1: and they want to build around that early in the season. 326 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: So a lot of this Colin is going to go 327 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: back to what they were trying to do and what 328 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: they did very successful in twenty sixteen. Unfortunately, this is 329 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 1: not twenty sixteen version of Zeke. Now, I'll tell you 330 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: who's fast and really could be a matchup problem for 331 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: teams is Tony Pollard if they're able to turn to him. Yeah, 332 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you I even saw quote today that 333 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: made me realize sort of the desperation that they have 334 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: going into the season, Cavante Turpin, who's emerged as a 335 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: huge weapon. He had had a punt return for a 336 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: touchdown and a kip off return in the preseason and 337 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: then they said, okay, you don't have to play the 338 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: last game. You're gonna be our return guy. Just in 339 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: the past few days they have they lovely these little 340 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: talking points. Hey, hey, Jerry will kind of pass them down, guys, 341 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: this is all going to be our new talking point. 342 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: And the new talking point is that Cavante Turpin is 343 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: one is going to be one of the top receivers. 344 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: Like he's literally and I don't know if it's gonna be. 345 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: It means he's a third receiver, fourth receiver. But if 346 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: you think about how how how little they have as 347 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: far as dynamic players in the passing game, ceedee lamb. 348 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: There's their number two receivers, gonna be Jalen Tolbert, a 349 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: second round pick. And they have had to treat Noah 350 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: Brown like he's some kind of star. They haven't played 351 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: him in the preseason. I mean, do you even you 352 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: probably do know Noah Brown knowing you, he barely has 353 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: any catches in the pros. And they've had to keep 354 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: him off the field to save Noah Brown for the season. 355 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: So now it's to the point where they need Kavanti Turpin, 356 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: a return specialist who was the MVP of the USFL. 357 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: They really need him to be dynamic enough to almost 358 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: be looked at as a second the second option in 359 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: the passing game. So best case scenario, they run a 360 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: Zeke Pollard one two, punch at you. Again, this is 361 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: not McCarthy's DNA to be a running team. That's what 362 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: they're going to try to do is lean hard on 363 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: the defense early and run the ball. And this head coach, well, 364 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: that doesn't really do that. Now, that's not McCarthy and 365 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay. They got a running game the Super Bowl 366 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: year they picked up a running game. I think a 367 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: Mon Green was the running back. They got ahead a 368 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: steam late in the year, but they didn't have much 369 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: of a running game. It was one of the knocks 370 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: and one of the straints of Matt Lafleur when they 371 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: brought him in the Green Bay. He will take some 372 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: of the pressure off Aaron Rodgers. He'll develop a running game, 373 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: which frankly he has with Aaron Jones. It's the one 374 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: thing Matt Lafleur has done. There's a lot of arguments 375 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: that he hasn't really done much. The division has just 376 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: gotten weaker. He's still get flames out very quickly in 377 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. The last two years Green Bay has flamed 378 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: out at home as a favorite in the playoffs in 379 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But he has developed a better running 380 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: game than Mike McCarthy did. And I think people forget 381 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: that is that that Mike was not known. You know, 382 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: it's really interesting. So this is one of my knocks 383 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: on McCarthy. What is he in Green Bay? He had 384 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: Farvin Rodgers, so some of that success is just bad division, 385 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, but he didn't develop great, great running backs. Now, 386 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: now Shanahan had. Most of your good offensive coaches have 387 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: Shanahan did, Mike Shanahan did, Mike Holmgren did, Sean McVay does, 388 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan does. If I said to you, what's Mike 389 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: McCarthy's strength, what is his strength? With most great coaches, 390 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: there's an absolute line, a lead sentence in the column 391 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: what is his strength? It's just a passing game, and 392 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: that's that's what he knows in His other strength is 393 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: what you just mentioned. He inherited great quarterbacks and he 394 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: was able to ride that out. And I would say, 395 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: I would say he has the makings of in the 396 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: past a dynamic you know, he could put together dynamic 397 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: passing offenses. But what he's remembered for in Green Bay is, 398 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: how did you do not do more? With all these 399 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: weapons that you had, and you had two Hall of 400 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks, how could you not do more? So there's 401 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: no I think they took a guy at the time 402 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: that was not dynamic, that had won a Super Bowl 403 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: and he was just kind of there and he was 404 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: And again, it takes a very unique person to do 405 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: this with Jerry. You have to be willing to let 406 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: Jerry be out front. So his most you know, his 407 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: most important aspect of who Mike McCarthy is is that 408 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't really need the spotlight, like that's what works 409 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: best here now. The guy waiting in the wings, Sean Payton, 410 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: in a lot of people's minds once at all, wants 411 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: to be out front, wants to make the moves, have 412 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: enormous input, and that would be really even as much 413 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: as Jerry loves him and as close as they are, 414 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: they both know each other too well, so as much 415 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: as I like Sean and I've known him really well 416 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: over the years, and I don't think Sean people That's 417 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: where people get the story wrong. He doesn't yearn for 418 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: this job, and Jerry doesn't yearn for him. It's but still, 419 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: that's never going to get people to stop talking about 420 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: it because they were together at one point and they 421 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: have a really close friendship. I think the Tampa Bay 422 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: game could get ugly. So the Cowboys O line is struggling. 423 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: One of the strengths of the Buccaneers is their defensive 424 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: front and their pass rush. They will bracket Cede Lamb, 425 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: try to take him out of the game, and they'll 426 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: put enormous pressure on deck. You can't run on this 427 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: Buccaneers team. We know that the last two years. You 428 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: can't run on them. You have to throw the ball behind. 429 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: What we both acknowledge right now is a porous offensive line. 430 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: Let's just say it's not only a loss at home, 431 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 1: but it's kind of a lobsided game. It's kind of 432 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: it's thirty twenty and it never feels that close. What 433 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: will be the reaction in Dallas, because I think that's 434 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: what it's going to look like. Yeah, I think that's 435 00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: what people sadly are kind of expecting, and in fact, 436 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: I think it could get a lot uglier than thirty twenty. 437 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: I do think it's going to be fascinating to see 438 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: if they try a steady diet diet of running and 439 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: go back to what they were. But you're right, Dack's 440 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: going to have to make plays at some point. The 441 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: only thing the Cowboys are kind of thinking about is 442 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: they did have success against Tampa Bay in that game 443 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: last season and through for a lot of yardage and 444 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: looked okay. But this is a different wide receiver group. 445 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: So I think the people in Dallas it's it's gonna 446 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: they could turn on this team so quickly, and it's 447 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: just not This roster is not constructed to kind of 448 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: like hold the ford like. It could get ugly early, 449 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: and as you said earlier, the only saving grace is 450 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: this division and the Eagles are better. I mean, if 451 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: we could hand the Cowboys six wins, they might be 452 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: able to find their way to ten wins and get 453 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: to ten and ten and seven. But I don't think 454 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: you can do that this year. So it's it could 455 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: It could be ugly unless think about last year's team 456 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: The upside is Dak does look way more nimble. I 457 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: think he could be. He's gonna move a lot better 458 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, and this may all be a bluff, 459 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: but the confidence in whatever whatever he's saying right now, 460 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: it's the confidence level is higher than it's ever been 461 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: with him. Like there's something he said something the other 462 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: day that kind of resonated. Hey, you guys had never 463 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: seen me play in an NFL game in twenty sixteen. 464 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: Look what we did. And because everybody was asking him, 465 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 1: what about Tyler Smith? You know, what about what are 466 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: they gonna do at wide receiver? What about these guys? 467 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: So from a leadership and then also physical standpoint, he 468 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: it's it's night and death where he is physically right 469 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: now from where he was at the end of last 470 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: season and in same for Seek by the way. So 471 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: here's what they could do is do what they used 472 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: to do with him early in the season. Just run him, right, 473 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean, just to try to survive twenty twenty five 474 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: carries a game. It may not work, but they're I mean, 475 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: I promise you they're thinking about that right now. Can 476 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: we feed him early while he's healthy and looking pretty spry? 477 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys over under I think is down to ten. I'm 478 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: pounding the under. Where are you out on the final record? 479 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think you have to You got 480 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: to think about that extra game. And I would who 481 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: I'd like to try to bet the over, but no, 482 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: I'd probably go I'd probably go under on that. I would. 483 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: I would What are the What are the Eagles? What's 484 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: the last you heard on the Eagles? If ah, that's 485 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: a good question. I don't know what the Eagles. I 486 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: think Philadelphia wins the division. I think they have better momentum. 487 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: I just I think Dallas has more questions than answers. 488 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: Old line's a question, receiving, corps a question. Pass rush 489 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: outside of Mica as a question. Treyvon Diggs had a 490 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: really weird camp where he shut his viral stuff down 491 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: because he was humiliated because he got burned so many times. 492 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: Most of the good teams in this league, like Cincinnati, 493 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: if I said, oh, big issues, yeah, I worry about 494 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: their I worry about their corners a little. Old Line's 495 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: better receivers are better quarterbacks, good star running back, good 496 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,479 Speaker 1: pass rush. Like Dallas has like six questions, I have 497 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: to watch and see that says that's a non playoff team. 498 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: To me, yeah, I would just say the only thing 499 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: to remember is Parsons is a monster, Diggs coming off 500 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: like a record setting interceptions, and maybe the future head 501 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: coach of this team is the defensive coordinator and he 502 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: had an incredible year. So this could be one of 503 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: those rare teams that at least early survives via defense. 504 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know. I mean, I'm just wondering. 505 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: I just think about Tampa and are they coming in. 506 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's been a shaky camp in some ways. 507 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: I mean I focus so hard on the Cowboys that 508 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: sometimes I stepped back and I start looking at these 509 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: other teams and go, you know what, they haven't had 510 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: all this great stuff happening in camp. There are questions 511 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: in other places too. So the one thing they can't do, 512 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: like here's where I'll say McCarty's better and even even 513 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: the office coordinator. I think they'll protect this left tackle 514 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: a lot more than like Garrett did. Yeah, Gret Garrett 515 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: let like young guys just blow up. I mean he really, 516 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean he put horror. I mean guys their careers 517 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: got ended or were ended, like Chaz Green in games 518 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: against Atlanta where he gives up like seven sacks. They 519 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: will do more to not let that happen to Tyler Smith. 520 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: But we've seen it. I mean, I've seen it happened 521 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: to Giants tackles. I think Flowers had it happened to 522 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: him a couple of years. You know, a few years 523 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: ago it happened to a Cowboys player, and they have 524 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 1: to do everything in the world to try to protect 525 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: this kid. So I want to shift to something. I 526 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: want to shift to college football because we both love it. 527 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: One of the things that is important. I think when 528 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: I started the volume, the hardest thing is maintaining standards 529 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: in my career, and at the volume is it's easy 530 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: to let things slide. But when I have to bark 531 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: is when I think things are sliding. That college football 532 00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,719 Speaker 1: is on a seven year ratings and attendance decline, and 533 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: yet all these college football fans are fighting for no change. 534 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, if you owned a business and it was 535 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: in a seven year revenue decline and cultural decline, would 536 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: you think no change is necessary or would you pivot 537 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: and make moves. So college football's got two problems. There's 538 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: not enough good games. I think the College Football Playoff 539 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: helps that why, because you can lose two games and 540 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: get into a twelve team playoff as long as you 541 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: don't start the season rank fiftieth. But if you as 542 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: you start the season ranked them the top fifteen, it's 543 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: going to allow teams an Oklahoma to say or a 544 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: Baylor to say, you know what, let's schedule and not 545 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: a conference game against Wisconsin in Madison. We can lose 546 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: that game. We can lose a conference game, We'll still 547 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: get in. Baylor's at the point now where if they 548 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: have two losses they'll be ranked eleventh or twelve, they 549 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: would get in and their conference. So I think it 550 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: helps that problem that teams are paralyzed to schedule Bama Texas. 551 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: People are terrified, and when they do, it's such a 552 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: reward for the consumer. The second thing is the end 553 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: of the season is a series of awful bowl games 554 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: that nobody goes to or watches, and about five good ones. 555 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: You're just gonna get like March madness, and we like 556 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: college football way more than college basketball, and yet we 557 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: watch these anonymous players in March because the tournament, the bracket, 558 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: the betting, the television production. So I think the beginning 559 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: of the season will be rewarded and the end of 560 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: the season won't be about what conference you're playing. It'll 561 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: just be about twelve good teams. By the way, if 562 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: twelve get in, that means sixteen will have a chance 563 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: to get in the last week of the season. So 564 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: the last week to two are going to be crazy 565 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: where everybody's fighting for those final spots. So my takeaway 566 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: is it's a declining business, let's pivot. Are you a traditionalist? 567 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: Do you disagree? Because I get a lot of pushback 568 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: on this, and I think it's obvious that you got 569 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: to make a big move here. Well, just remember I 570 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: am a traditionalist in the sense that from a regional perspective, 571 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: everybody in my part of the country that had their 572 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: schools in the old SWC, the Southwestern Conference, I mean 573 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: we still yearn for all of that. I agree from 574 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: a business standpoint that you do have to pivot. I mean, 575 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: I think some of the silliness of how some of 576 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: these West Coast teams, you know, it doesn't on. Some 577 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: of these things don't work out, and of course we 578 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: start looking at other sports and how's that going to 579 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: work out? But from a football perspective, I get it, 580 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: and I've watched some of these other divisions, whether it 581 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: be FCS or whatever. You watch even on a smaller scale, 582 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: what their fans do and how they react to all 583 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: of that. So I do believe ultimately it's going to 584 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: be better for everybody. I just I just don't trust. 585 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: The problem with college football is nobody The CEA has 586 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: kind of ruined so many things, and right now, nobody 587 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: knows who's going to be in charge five years from now. 588 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: Are they going to leave it all up to the 589 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: conferences and the problem And this is where the traditionalist 590 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: in me comes in. There's no common good anymore. So 591 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big ten and maybe those only 592 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: conferences in some ways that you care about. And I 593 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: get that, but they're so at this point looking out 594 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: for themselves. Maybe yes, there's a spot for the rest 595 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: of us at the table through this playoff, but they 596 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: could blow it up. They could end up screwing this 597 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: thing up so much. And again the SEC, when we start, 598 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: we've gone from like the Power five to where people 599 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: barely even mentioned that anymore. It's like the Big two. 600 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 1: And then there's no oversight. So some of this stuff 601 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: has You got to shore some of this up, or 602 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: like the PAC twelve literally is going to disintegrate. And 603 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: then people are like, well, that's going to help the 604 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: Big twelve. No, it won't because at some point the 605 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: SEC might like Baylor, or might like Oaklahoma State or 606 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: somebody that's doing really well, Well, we'll take them a 607 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: big team. The same way. Right now, they're looking at 608 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 1: the PAC twelfth. It's trying to stay alive. There's about 609 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: there's a couple more teams we want. So I get 610 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: what you're saying, but I do think, you know, the 611 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: whole regional thing of college football is like why the 612 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: SEC became so huge and so great And I don't know. 613 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: I you can just tell I'm conflicted on this. You know, Well, 614 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: one of the reasons it became so great in the 615 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: SEC because Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama provide so many 616 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: great high school programs. Remember professional sports. The South was 617 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: the last to really get professional sports, so they have 618 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: such a commitment and such a deep, embedded, visceral connection 619 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: to college football. Is that high school football is still 620 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: big in the South. I mean, if you take out Atlanta, 621 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: it's not much of a pro sports region. I mean seriously. 622 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: So it's like college football matters more. That's their mantra, 623 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: that's their slogan, and the high school football is better. 624 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: It produces. You know, Georgia produces now as many thing 625 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: about this. Georgia I think they have about six million people. 626 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: California's got thirty nine million. They both produce about one 627 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty Division One players. Because high school football 628 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: matters more in Georgia. And so I tip my cap 629 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: to the South. They care about it, they promote it, 630 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: they pay their coaches more. The boosters. I mean, if 631 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: California gave a shit about college football, we have the 632 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: fifth biggest economy in the world, Apple could come in 633 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: and say we'll pay ten million dollars for a quarterback. 634 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: We'll just go get the six best high school players 635 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: in the country, the best lineman that we don't care 636 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: that much. We've got other things we're doing here. But 637 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: in the South, a card dealer who makes or four 638 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: million a year he'll give seven hundred thousand dollars to 639 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: his local football program at Auburn. So like, I'm four 640 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: people who deeply care about something, I want you to 641 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: be rewarded, And Southerners deeply care about college football. It 642 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: makes them feel a certain regional pride, So good for them, 643 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: and I just think they're always going to be barring 644 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: some cheating scandal with multiple schools, they're always going to 645 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: be at the top. That doesn't mean they always win 646 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: a national championship, because I do think USC can own 647 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: California recruiting mostly and get like we saw it with 648 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and we're seeing it with Lincoln Riley, who 649 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: had the number one transfer portal. You can win fast 650 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: at USC if you get the right coach, But I 651 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: don't think there's an equivalent the Midwest states. That footprint 652 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: geographically just doesn't have as many great high school football players. 653 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: Even those teams go down to Texas and Georgia and 654 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,439 Speaker 1: Louisiana and Florida. So all I know is this from 655 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: a consumer, I just want more, or if I go 656 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: to a grocery store, I want the most good food possible. 657 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: I love college football. I want more good games. That's 658 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: what I want, and I think you're gonna get it 659 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 1: now with all USC moving in Oklahoma, moving in a playoff, 660 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna get more good games. Does that is that 661 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: resonate at all? Yeah? I think I think maybe the 662 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: thought of not having I mean like I sat the 663 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: other night and covered a Baylor U Albany game, and 664 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: I had several times where I thought, what am I? 665 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: What am I doing here? What? What? Why have I 666 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: chosen this profession that I'm sitting watching a watching Baylor play. 667 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: You know, this nothing against Albany, but they should not 668 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 1: have been in that game. And maybe teams will be 669 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: incentivized to schedule harder games earlier. So I think there's 670 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: a I think there's something to be said for that. 671 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: I you know, what you don't want is a team 672 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: almost like the NFL. You know, rest, You're you're you're 673 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: having a scenario where everybody's trying to do it. Can 674 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: you get yourself to a certain spot where you could 675 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: almost rest players at end of the season because of 676 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: the expanded playoff? I mean, one thing about only having 677 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: four is you you know, you don't you can't do that. 678 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: I mean unless you're a team that goes into the 679 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: SEC championship game and you can afford to have a 680 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: loss there and turn around and you're going to be 681 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: in the playoff. That's about the only scenario where you 682 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: can have it. So I it's gonna be it's gonna 683 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: be so interesting to watch. But I don't I don't 684 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: trust any of these people because if you think about it, 685 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: the the eleven the President's got together and now you know, 686 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,959 Speaker 1: of course it's got to go to the commissioners, and 687 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: they could have done this like a year ago, and 688 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: so they're constantly finding ways to screw all this up. 689 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know if we're out of the wood jet, 690 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: although something new has to be in place. You know 691 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: by twenty twenty six. The biggest motivator is you're going 692 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: to bring in so many more or millions of dollars. 693 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, Oh well yeah, because the college football playoff, 694 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: Fox will get some, NBC will get some, ESPN will 695 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: get some. Like the NFL, you'll have multiple networks airing 696 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: games right now, Fox, essentially, Fox and ESPN have the 697 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: biggest college football. That's it. They dominate college football. The 698 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: NFL wins because they have five different networks, including the 699 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: NFL network that has games now, Amazons, their NBCs, CBS, Fox, ESPN. 700 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: You don't want one network owning it. In fact, I 701 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: think the NBA makes a mistake that it's ESPN and TNT. 702 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: I'd get NBC, CBS or Fox involved. So college football 703 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: with a playoff, Fox is going to be in, ESPN 704 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: is going to be in, and guarantee NBC is going 705 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 1: to be in three and they're going to have major 706 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: parts of that playoffs, and that money's gonna get spread 707 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 1: all around. It's gonna be good for the sport. Matt Moseley, 708 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: good talking to you, buddy.
