Speaker 2: Yelman's so final say it with your chest Friday of
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four campaign. The Cowboys taking on the
Speaker 2: Commanders this week and happening it kind of it's starting
Speaker 2: to have that feel where it's just kind of sad,
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, it's like the last day at school
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, but it's almost like the last
Speaker 2: day of school, except you didn't pass any of your classes.
Speaker 2: Oh you got to redo it. I mean it's true though,
Speaker 2: the expectations coming into the year we're so sky high.
Speaker 6: It's not it's not that it's like you you finished
Speaker 6: the grade, right, yeah, and now you have summer school.
Speaker 4: That's what it is.
Speaker 6: We're not done working, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had a lot time.
Speaker 4: I could see that. I think you're both right.
Speaker 7: Yes, you sailed because you were a summer school. Is
Speaker 7: still not enough to get you enough credits. Still not
Speaker 7: going to get you enough credits to avoid retaking some
Speaker 7: of those classes.
Speaker 2: Both are either we're running it back like as is
Speaker 2: and we're going to another down off season and you're
Speaker 2: going into a coaching staff that, of course has half
Speaker 2: of the fan base sold sold in or bought in
Speaker 2: and the other half of the fan base completely out.
Speaker 2: It's just it's gonna be interesting one way or the other.
Speaker 2: How they attacked these next couple of days. Uh, any
Speaker 2: indication on anything moving forward as we get into news
Speaker 2: and those path.
Speaker 7: No, there are there are any even any whispers as
Speaker 7: far as like the coaching stuff.
Speaker 2: Is sent out like five tax messages over the last
Speaker 2: twenty four hours.
Speaker 7: Radio everyone is no, no, no, it's radio silent. And
Speaker 7: I mean you could interpret that however you want. You
Speaker 7: can say it's radio silent because the cowboys are going
Speaker 7: to move on and part ways with McCarthy and his
Speaker 7: step or you could say it's radio silent because they're
Speaker 7: not and that's why it's radio silent. So can you
Speaker 7: I'll leave that for interpretation, but as can.
Speaker 4: You remind the people what contracts are up? Yes? Can
Speaker 4: you remind the people what they is?
Speaker 2: Yes, it'd probably yes.
Speaker 4: Everybody everybody like when are they up? Like? Are they up?
Speaker 4: Like they're up? What's the season concluded?
Speaker 2: So it's one week following the final game, right, that
Speaker 2: is the end of the contract.
Speaker 6: Won the final game of the season of season.
Speaker 4: Wherever you tend.
Speaker 2: Yes, So if you lose in the wildcard round, it's
Speaker 2: the week going into the divisional round. It's the divisional round,
Speaker 2: so we going into conference championship, that kind of thing.
Speaker 7: So it's not like players where players their contract is
Speaker 7: technically through the beginning of the league year in March.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not the same with and then if it's.
Speaker 2: Scouts or front off as personnel, that goes until the draft.
Speaker 2: So if your contract, let's just use Will McClay as
Speaker 2: an example. Will McClay he's going to be he's a
Speaker 2: contract that is also at the end of the draft,
Speaker 2: but they go up until the week after the draft.
Speaker 4: So the first week people know who Will McClay is
Speaker 4: and what he's done.
Speaker 2: If you're a die hard Cowboys fan, absolutely you should know.
Speaker 4: They should know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if casual Cowboys fans really know. But
Speaker 2: vice president, player of personnel, one of the go to
Speaker 2: guys in terms of the draft and player acquisition across
Speaker 2: the board. Uh, he's gotten you a lot of great.
Speaker 6: If he's a Pro Bowl player, Wila found him. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's a good way to put it, you know.
Speaker 2: Or Will McClay staff. I want to give a lot
Speaker 2: of those guys.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. So when you say Will McClay,
Speaker 4: you speak to his entire staff. Yes, that's correct. If
Speaker 4: Will McClay was a player, would it be a really
Speaker 4: good player, would would be all pro Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: It's one of the people to know.
Speaker 7: Will McLay is a culture changing scout and director of
Speaker 7: scouting for any organization. So I mean, yeah, he would
Speaker 7: not only be a Hall of Famer, he'd be a
Speaker 7: first ballot Hall of Famer, shooting absolutely.
Speaker 5: But you just want people to have the understanding of
Speaker 5: the severity of how important, how important he is. As
Speaker 5: you talk about the players, you talk about the coaches,
Speaker 5: Will McClay might mess.
Speaker 4: I will say Will McClay is the most important piece
Speaker 4: on the board. Listen, and the things the organization across organization.
Speaker 5: I talking about in contracts that are uh yeah, and
Speaker 5: I would I don't know if people understand.
Speaker 7: That, yes, and it's not spoken of enough as far
Speaker 7: as his free agency to come because I think fans
Speaker 7: and rightfully so, they've kind of been spoiled by the
Speaker 7: last two or three attempts at outside teams reaching in
Speaker 7: to try to get Will McClay. Well, McClay loves Dallas
Speaker 7: and he's very rooted here by way of his his son, his.
Speaker 4: Family and his family. But now what's happened.
Speaker 7: There, Yeah, high school and graduating and so yeah, the
Speaker 7: ties are starting to kind of wither. And so we'll
Speaker 7: have this conversation as this off season goes along.
Speaker 4: But I say that to say, there is.
Speaker 7: At least a chance that you lose Will McClay, and
Speaker 7: you just better hope that you don't.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because he's gonna have a lot of suitors regardless,
Speaker 6: so many specifically every team, all the suitors as a
Speaker 6: general manager opening will.
Speaker 4: Be on the phone.
Speaker 7: Even teams that don't have an opening might be yeah,
Speaker 7: maybe just might be off the board because it looks
Speaker 7: like they're leaning toward Lewis Rick. But yeah, but for
Speaker 7: the most part. They just had an interview with him yesterday.
Speaker 7: I want to say, yeah, but that would be a
Speaker 7: quicker thing. They want to do something quick, That's what
Speaker 7: I mean.
Speaker 2: It would take another one of these teams that I
Speaker 2: feel like is okay going into the draft.
Speaker 4: Listen, let me tell you what you really don't want.
Speaker 7: As the Giants worked through the Joe Shine situation, dot
Speaker 7: dot dot filling that blink.
Speaker 5: So so all right, So just just for synopsis here,
Speaker 5: if teams wanted to pursue mister McLay, when could they?
Speaker 6: Mm hmm, that's a good question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what I'm asking about. The days you know, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's the front office person.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the tampering or last.
Speaker 4: Before. Yeah, that's what I'm asking about.
Speaker 5: And exacts like that's when does all that stuff hit, right,
Speaker 5: because there's going to be after this Sunday. Can teams
Speaker 5: all of a sudden sorry blowing up will Clay's phone
Speaker 5: or do they have to wait until playoffs or over
Speaker 5: or do they have to wait until March.
Speaker 2: To the drafts over because his contract goes through the draft.
Speaker 2: But if I'm just thinking, and this is general NFL employees,
Speaker 2: this is the same thing for us.
Speaker 4: I have the answer if you do.
Speaker 7: As far as the GM, if he's interviewing for GIM,
Speaker 7: immediately when that team's respective season ends, front off at
Speaker 7: an existing front office personnel guy. If he's interviewing for GUM,
Speaker 7: he can start so sir, Sunday, once his game is over,
Speaker 7: teams could start calling.
Speaker 4: So Sunday, three pm, three thirty more, let's give it.
Speaker 4: That's that's that's.
Speaker 2: Interesting because I know from a staff standpoint, if a
Speaker 2: team were to look across the board and look at it.
Speaker 2: Let's say the Minnesota Vikings wanted Patrick's service is as
Speaker 2: a full time employee of the Cowboys, they would have
Speaker 2: to get permission from a vice president or a president
Speaker 2: of the organization, which would be I believe Stephen Jones
Speaker 2: would have to give correct the go to. And that's
Speaker 2: for Patrick. We're not talking about Will McLay at that
Speaker 2: in time. You know, like it's still pretty regimented across
Speaker 2: the way. But if that's the case when they're talking
Speaker 2: about general managers, his phone better be on loud at
Speaker 2: four o'clock. Somebody take his phone. Let's just do that.
Speaker 4: Somebody phone, Just just a question.
Speaker 2: You're very inquisitive today.
Speaker 5: There aren't any salary caps on executives.
Speaker 4: There aren't any salary caps on general managers, blank chick
Speaker 4: type stuff. Yeah, as I is asking for the fans,
Speaker 4: he's obviously just for of those that are just uninformed,
Speaker 4: you know, like myself.
Speaker 5: There's no restraints from other desperate organizations in terms of
Speaker 5: how much they can offer.
Speaker 4: They can throw the largest bag you can think, and
Speaker 4: you would never know what that number is. No, they
Speaker 4: don't have to just was it so blank check, non disclosure. Okay,
Speaker 4: just just s put it out.
Speaker 7: And the roots are loosening with McLay and Dallas.
Speaker 5: There's nothing locking him down to Dallas.
Speaker 2: And I don't like what you guys are saying.
Speaker 4: I'm just wanting what was the reality.
Speaker 2: Here's what's the fact of the matter.
Speaker 7: We're saying, hear me, Okay, guys upstairs and disconnect.
Speaker 4: His phone because it's very.
Speaker 7: We're saying, get ready, get ready to play big boy
Speaker 7: balls off for Will McLay first, and get it done
Speaker 7: before listen. I would say, you haven't started talking to
Speaker 7: McCarthy yet, and ninth simmer okay, cool, get McLay done.
Speaker 4: First, Get it done right, now Now when the cow.
Speaker 7: Always that you want McCarthy's from, then you want to
Speaker 7: know one decision Monday to I want to know Will
Speaker 7: mcclay's future when the clock hits zero the command.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm down and that's the reason why I'm
Speaker 5: I'm clowning around, but I'm being serious. Yeah, people are
Speaker 5: talking about the head coaching job as if that's the
Speaker 5: most important decision that Cowboys have to make. That is
Speaker 5: not the most important decision that Cowboys have to make.
Speaker 5: They need secure Will McClay. I need people to understand it.
Speaker 5: And I know people are gonna look and say, well,
Speaker 5: the last few draft screw all that up that.
Speaker 4: You better secure Will McClay.
Speaker 5: If you want, if you think that you need to
Speaker 5: sign a head coach or make a decision on your
Speaker 5: coach over the next week, then to your point in the.
Speaker 4: First hours after the game, you better be soon as
Speaker 4: the game's over. Here's the new offer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, here's because if you wait, if you wait and
Speaker 5: we only goes up, Listen, that number is going to
Speaker 5: exponentially go up, and you may.
Speaker 4: Not ever know what that number is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know what you're going up.
Speaker 4: Again, you don't know what.
Speaker 2: You're competing against because he doesn't have to disclose that.
Speaker 7: No, listen, and to your point for those that are saying, oh, well,
Speaker 7: the last couple of drafts, drafts, batting average, batting average,
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's always my reply for that.
Speaker 2: He's still hitting like three to ninety and that with
Speaker 2: like elve homers, And I mean, how many how many
Speaker 2: Pro bowlers did he have this past year and they're
Speaker 2: all coming from his ideas.
Speaker 6: And coming from an embarrassing performance throughout the entire season.
Speaker 6: You still have five Pro bowlers at the end of
Speaker 6: the day.
Speaker 4: And we just finished talking before we move on to
Speaker 4: the next topic.
Speaker 5: If you were this is first speaking for any general management, right,
Speaker 5: not general matter.
Speaker 4: Sorry, that title belongs to somebody else.
Speaker 5: Sure, if you speaking to the senior whatever executive executive.
Speaker 2: The one that runs player personnel, there you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever the title is.
Speaker 5: Yes, if that individual were to leave or that individual
Speaker 5: work should come into an organization, they usually take their
Speaker 5: entire staff.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so there's not just one person. It's not just
Speaker 5: one person. You lose the entire department. It's like a
Speaker 5: coaching change. Because they could keep some guys, they could.
Speaker 2: Keep elements but most of the time or they could
Speaker 2: elevate from within. There's a lot of very capsule guys
Speaker 2: on that side of the buildings and girls, but typically
Speaker 2: that could elevate to.
Speaker 7: A and some of the scouts will not want to
Speaker 7: be abs depending on where Will McClay lands.
Speaker 4: However, Yes, I'm with.
Speaker 7: You on this, that individual will want out people extremely
Speaker 7: low oil.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 7: So because of the problem, will you will lose ninety
Speaker 7: seven percent of your scouting department if you.
Speaker 5: Don't hire it from within, right, Yeah, I just want
Speaker 5: people to understand how important that person's name is.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be wise that just needed them to understand that.
Speaker 4: Thank you guys for the.
Speaker 2: Events and not to mention if we if we go
Speaker 2: back to I'd probably say this is the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five NFL Draft is the most important draft for the
Speaker 2: Cowboys since twenty sixteen. And you hit in twenty sixteen
Speaker 2: partially because of Will McLay. You hit Ezekiel Elliott, you
Speaker 2: hit Dak Prescott. You're coming off a year where you
Speaker 2: were top five in the NFL Draft. You're going to
Speaker 2: have a top fifteen pick most likely going into this draft.
Speaker 2: This is crucial because even in twenty twenty, when you
Speaker 2: lost Dak Prescott and he was out for a significant time,
Speaker 2: you had the confidence that, Okay, he's coming back and
Speaker 2: we're gonna get a dude. You ended up getting Michael
Speaker 2: Parsons in twenty twenty one, and you were off and
Speaker 2: running from that point forward. I don't think you have
Speaker 2: that confidence around the roster going into this April's draft.
Speaker 2: You have to hit on this draft twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: is a must hit for the Cowboys, no if fans
Speaker 2: or butts about it.
Speaker 5: And those scouting departments scout not only other free agents,
Speaker 5: not only people whose contracts are coming up, not only
Speaker 5: for potential trades, but you're scouting your own personnel as well.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: So if you guys need any kind of comparison, look
Speaker 5: at what the Giants just did this past year. They
Speaker 5: scout at Saquon Barkley before making the decision on Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 5: That wasn't just a GM just siting up there saying, ohay,
Speaker 5: we're moving on. He relied on his scouting department to say,
Speaker 5: you know what, yeah, he's he's losing a step. We'll
Speaker 5: have options. So understand how decisions are made within the
Speaker 5: executive organization. You rely that individual in power to make
Speaker 5: the decision. The general manager gets his insight and majority
Speaker 5: of his information from his scouting apartment.
Speaker 4: So look at what the Cowboys have done, and then.
Speaker 5: Look at what the Giantses did and how detrimental that
Speaker 5: decision was from the information that was received from the
Speaker 5: entire scouting department.
Speaker 4: That's why they're all on notice. Yep, it's true.
Speaker 2: And they also took Daniel Jones with the fourth overall
Speaker 2: pick in the NFL draft back in twenty nineteen and
Speaker 2: paid him yea, and paid him forty million.
Speaker 6: Dollars a year, and you basically chose him over safe
Speaker 6: one lunch day.
Speaker 2: True. All right, any other news and nots before we
Speaker 2: take our first break.
Speaker 7: No, we didn't mention the Pro bowlers. So shout out
Speaker 7: to the five guys who were able to earn another
Speaker 7: Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: Nod say their names, and we shall say their name,
Speaker 4: and they shall appear, and they shall appear.
Speaker 7: We got Cavante Turpin, we got Brandon Aubrey, we got
Speaker 7: City Lamb, we got Michael Parsons, and we got Tyler Smith.
Speaker 7: And each one of those guys in their own way,
Speaker 7: has entered the history books with earning this twenty twenty
Speaker 7: four Pro Bowl nod, and most notably, I have to,
Speaker 7: you know, draw a circle around a guy like Cavante
Speaker 7: Turpin when you talk about his journey to this point,
Speaker 7: and Brandon Aubrey when you talk about his journey.
Speaker 2: Fossil man.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, look at my goodness, look at what he's
Speaker 7: doing with these guys. Man CD able to earn another
Speaker 7: Pro Bow nod with one arm, right. Michael Parsons just
Speaker 7: lit the defense, helped the defense light on fire when
Speaker 7: he got back from his injury. Has become that leader
Speaker 7: that everybody was wondering if he could become.
Speaker 4: And Tyler Smith, Tyler Smith amazing consistency. That's it. I
Speaker 4: just say his name. Brandon Aubrey XFL experiment.
Speaker 6: Also on Tyler Smith really quick. Fourteen of the last
Speaker 6: fifteen years have included a Dallas Cowich starting offensive lineman
Speaker 6: in the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: That's good.
Speaker 6: That's pretty darn good.
Speaker 4: It seems good.
Speaker 6: He kind of figured out the offensive lineman of it all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tyler Cooper b is getting there.
Speaker 5: Turpanes write a book or have a story made for him,
Speaker 5: because his story, Hey, Aubrey Aubrey for sure, but the
Speaker 5: book going to.
Speaker 4: Be I don't know, type beat. Maybe maybe I think
Speaker 4: you should claim that read read Okay, all right? That
Speaker 4: was so bad.
Speaker 5: His journey man, that was his story is one of resilience,
Speaker 5: betting on yourself and when preparation meets opportunity, like it's
Speaker 5: like literally the picture of that.
Speaker 4: His dude's entire life changed.
Speaker 6: Sorry, did you guys feel a way about his comments
Speaker 6: after this this last game, after the Philly game.
Speaker 2: It was frustrated.
Speaker 6: He was really frustrated, and I appreciated that candor from
Speaker 6: Cavante Turpin, but just curious as to what y'all thought
Speaker 6: about his comment.
Speaker 4: I liked it.
Speaker 5: I don't I think he could have chosen chosen his
Speaker 5: words more wisely, but I liked his his meaning behind it.
Speaker 6: But how can can you really fault him for winning
Speaker 6: the ball? And he said it yesterday, He's like, when
Speaker 6: the balls in my hands, I am dangerous and that
Speaker 6: is proven every time, and.
Speaker 7: It's proven to be true. It's it's not just a jag.
Speaker 7: It was just like, throw me the ball, and you're like,
Speaker 7: nothing supports them throwing you the ball?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: A couple drops in there that are pretty concerning.
Speaker 4: But for the most part, Cavant turping with the ball
Speaker 4: in his hand.
Speaker 2: When he gets the ball secured into his hands, he's great, phenomenal.
Speaker 4: We just got to get it.
Speaker 7: Plus he's one of the you talk about winning culture
Speaker 7: and you want dogs in the locker room. Comments like
Speaker 7: that come from a dog. So when the dog starts
Speaker 7: barking like that, I don't feel a way because the
Speaker 7: volume of the bark is too loud.
Speaker 4: Bark, dude, bark you.
Speaker 8: Know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Like you, you're one of the reasons that this season
Speaker 7: wasn't worse than what it actually could have been. Right, So, yeah,
Speaker 7: he's a competitor, he's a playmaker.
Speaker 4: He wanted the ball, love it. Maybe give him the ball.
Speaker 2: He restricted free agent this year too, but yeah, exactly as.
Speaker 4: Two time All Pro Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what all pro he could make it
Speaker 2: all protein.
Speaker 4: Bro, It's crazy.
Speaker 5: You go for making probably sixty grand playing in the UFO,
Speaker 5: a UFL, you know, just like on the brink of
Speaker 5: possibly going back and just finding a regular job. If not,
Speaker 5: he probably had a regular job in addition to that,
Speaker 5: maybe and now you're making millions doing what you left.
Speaker 4: About to make morege the play season for the Dallas.
Speaker 5: Price keeps going up. Every time you make a Pro Bowl,
Speaker 5: your price goes up. I mean, it's it's freaking awesome, man.
Speaker 5: I'll watch that.
Speaker 6: Story absolutely shouts to him. Do you think his turns
Speaker 6: at as running back? Basically? Do you think that that
Speaker 6: plays any impact on his role next season? Do you
Speaker 6: think we give him more of a.
Speaker 4: Chance in the backfield.
Speaker 7: No, you don't know who your h C and O
Speaker 7: C are next season, so can't answer it right now.
Speaker 4: That's tough. Can't answer it.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's take our first break with you boys
Speaker 2: when we come back. It's a it's been a rough
Speaker 2: year for the Cowboys, no doubt about that. But I

Speaker 4: Sid What did I do today? You made me call
Speaker 4: you a rich mocha. You called me a rich crispy.
Speaker 4: Actually it was rich krispy, rich crispy.
Speaker 2: Remember we're wrapping up five years on the show together.
Speaker 4: Can you believe that? Oh my goodness's why we started.
Speaker 5: We started in our own little places this season. Yeah,
Speaker 5: years looking over zoom calls. Biemer sent me my little
Speaker 5: light kit and a little microphone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, keep the pushing.
Speaker 4: I remember when I still have that light too, Beamer Derek.
Speaker 2: It's funny. I remember it like it was yesterday. Derek
Speaker 2: gave me a call and it was in the middle
Speaker 2: of the off season, going into twenty twenty, and he
Speaker 2: was like, Hey, I want to get this guy involved.
Speaker 2: He's former players, he won a Super Bowl. I want
Speaker 2: to try and find a way to get him on
Speaker 2: the air. Do you feel like talking would be a
Speaker 2: good spot for him? And I was like, I have
Speaker 2: no idea who this guy. I have never heard of
Speaker 2: stand back in my life. And he was like no,
Speaker 2: I heard him speak at my church and he was
Speaker 2: he's very well spoken. And I was like, sure, why not,
Speaker 2: Let's give him a shot. And then the first time
Speaker 2: Isaiah got on, I was like, man, this dude's going
Speaker 2: to be something special. But this is going to be
Speaker 2: something cool. So I always remember that it was funny,
Speaker 2: tam I I was totally on the toilet when Derek
Speaker 2: called me, But so I remember why I remember the
Speaker 2: whole thing. Why didn't like it was yesterday? Because it
Speaker 2: was funny? Why didn't we it was hilarious. I like
Speaker 2: opened the door and everything so that way it didn't
Speaker 2: sound like I was in a bathroom.
Speaker 4: Did you think about like ignoring his call?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I totally thought about it, But I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, it's Derek, this might be something important.
Speaker 2: Sure enough, he was trying to put Isaiah stand back
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 4: I was like, that couldn't mean it.
Speaker 2: Ten minutes, this is gonna be on the that call.
Speaker 4: You couldn't wait to call him back, Like I didn't
Speaker 4: know what.
Speaker 2: Was going on now my first year of hosting. Remember
Speaker 2: I had just started. Yeah, he just started. I had
Speaker 2: just started. We started the same time.
Speaker 4: Look what you did.
Speaker 2: So I was like six or seven shows.
Speaker 5: When Derek show comes on, you have to ask him.
Speaker 5: Did you know that Kyle was tole not know?
Speaker 2: He did not know.
Speaker 8: First of all, I'm not going to ask on his show.
Speaker 8: It's not that kind of show. It's not like hanging
Speaker 8: with the boys. We can ask stuff.
Speaker 5: I'm calling you, I'm calling it jeez.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there you go a little inside.
Speaker 7: So Kyle got me hired wind winning a Bowl game.
Speaker 6: This off season whenever.
Speaker 12: We were getting the whole show. But you brought it,
Speaker 12: brought it up.
Speaker 4: This is your night.
Speaker 6: We're getting ready to do the show. And I was like,
Speaker 6: you know what, we should give this Patrick kid a chance.
Speaker 2: You know, that's a good one.
Speaker 6: We should we should kind of taking off, you know,
Speaker 6: take the opportunity to open it up himself. No, c
Speaker 6: that's kind of a weird guy, like get kind of
Speaker 6: weird weird.
Speaker 2: Guy likes anime.
Speaker 4: Let's give him a shot, though, you know, don't don't play.
Speaker 6: And every single person said no, but to put it.
Speaker 13: There, but Josh, well well done, well done. All right,
Speaker 13: that's funny. No, it's been good with you guys. I
Speaker 13: always enjoyed doing this show. And that's why it's a
Speaker 13: little sad because I know we'll come back training camp.
Speaker 2: It's going to feel like a completely different excitement. We're
Speaker 2: back together on multiple days out of the week, and
Speaker 2: then we get into the regular season flow of it,
Speaker 2: or it's it's a long way, but it will be
Speaker 2: here before you know, eight months, bro, Yeah, you're twenty
Speaker 2: three weeks, it'll be right there.
Speaker 7: Not yet you would you would, but.
Speaker 2: The excitement will be there again. But right now, it's
Speaker 2: just kind of Man, it was a rough year. What
Speaker 2: were you What are you going to look back on
Speaker 2: when you remember twenty twenty four. What's the number one
Speaker 2: thing that you'll kind of have a lasting impression on.
Speaker 5: I mean, the first thing that pops up is injuries
Speaker 5: for me, honestly, I mean I think the injuries popped up.
Speaker 5: I think that's something that sucks every team. You're gonna
Speaker 5: say every team deals with it. Yeah, it's true, but
Speaker 5: every team doesn't lose like every pro bowler that they
Speaker 5: have outside of Brandon Aubrey and Cavante Turpin. I mean,
Speaker 5: you lost everybody.
Speaker 6: Else for extended periods of time, for extended period of time,
Speaker 6: best players.
Speaker 5: So that's hard to overcome. It just really is. I
Speaker 5: think they did their best to so I think that
Speaker 5: coach McCarthy did a great job. I don't think he's
Speaker 5: getting enough credit for keeping it together and still keeping
Speaker 5: hope and still remaining competitive amongst losing highly high contributors
Speaker 5: to your team. You lost your your QB one, you
Speaker 5: lost your wide receiver one at one point in time,
Speaker 5: you lost your your one of the greatest offensive linemen
Speaker 5: to play. You lost your cornerback that.
Speaker 4: You just paid.
Speaker 5: So I mean you lost a lot of guys, especially
Speaker 5: guys that you just poured a bunch of money into.
Speaker 5: And yet you're still able to tell your guys looked
Speaker 5: them in the eyes and say, hey, we still have
Speaker 5: a chance to go out here and take care of business.
Speaker 5: You know, next man up. All the stuff that you
Speaker 5: would hear, but it actually did it. Yeah, there are
Speaker 5: some games that you got your buttkeet, for sure, but
Speaker 5: there are some really good games in terms of competitiveness.
Speaker 5: The teams that you got destroyed by your teams that
Speaker 5: are all playing, you know, next weekend, they stay. I
Speaker 5: don't know what that meltdown was.
Speaker 6: That felt like the Cardinals game from.
Speaker 14: A couple of years ago, Dak and Dak's second year
Speaker 14: the it but the oh the McCarthy. Yes, we went
Speaker 14: forward on Firth fourth and two or something and they
Speaker 14: were like that disrespectful.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So that's that's my memory.
Speaker 5: The injuries and then what you had to over, you know,
Speaker 5: coach McCarthy's work in terms of keeping these guys competitive,
Speaker 5: you know, with those major injuries.
Speaker 6: So I would say the job that Mike McCarthy has
Speaker 6: done is that's going to be a lasting impression for
Speaker 6: me in that it all hope seemed lost. I think
Speaker 6: a lot of people were calling for McCarthy's job halfway
Speaker 6: through the season, especially after that Lions game. It's like,
Speaker 6: what are we doing here? We got it, we gotta
Speaker 6: make a change, right and we got to make a change.
Speaker 6: You heard that across the board from you know, fans
Speaker 6: and experts alike, right, and to see how we turned
Speaker 6: it around in that the players didn't stop believing in
Speaker 6: what McCarthy was doing in the system, they started believing
Speaker 6: in what Mike Zimmer was doing. I think the fact
Speaker 6: that you saw depth players stepping up to the role
Speaker 6: of being starters and galvanizing behind the group, but galvanizing
Speaker 6: behind the team, which I didn't think you saw early
Speaker 6: in the season.
Speaker 2: Beating a couple of playoff teams and doing.
Speaker 6: So beating couple of playoff teams. The run at the
Speaker 6: end of the season and all for me is watermarked
Speaker 6: by that first Commander's game with Kawanti termin returning for touchdown.
Speaker 6: I like, to me, that was like the highlight of
Speaker 6: my year.
Speaker 2: Basically, it was.
Speaker 4: Just that game was so good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was just and it didn't feel at any
Speaker 6: point in that game where like, oh, we're gonna lose
Speaker 6: this game up until the very last, you know, the
Speaker 6: fourth quarter scary Terry touchdown. But to me, that game
Speaker 6: was such a like, Wow, we can we really can
Speaker 6: put it together. We can find a way to put
Speaker 6: it together. There that team that we know in love
Speaker 6: over the last three seasons of still they're still in
Speaker 6: there somewhere, and that game to me solidified that. To me,
Speaker 6: that will be the lasting impression and the job that
Speaker 6: Bones Fossil has done this year. I mean, how can
Speaker 6: you deny that he is the best teams coach in
Speaker 6: the NFL.
Speaker 4: Had a couple of hiccups, but Bones did.
Speaker 6: But overall, I think players did.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 6: I don't think it's anything that Bones regardless, there were
Speaker 6: a couple of somebody.
Speaker 4: Was perfect this season.
Speaker 7: But that being said, Bones Fossil remains the best special
Speaker 7: teams coordinator in the game.
Speaker 6: That he's doing that XFL players, that game in Insane.
Speaker 2: In Washington, that USFL not even the current even variation
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that that game in Washington, that's one that
Speaker 7: you know, in twenty years we'll be talking to our
Speaker 7: kids and grand kids and being like, you have.
Speaker 2: To be there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was just for me.
Speaker 7: It was injuries and that's definitely up there for me.
Speaker 7: But it's being unable to wrap my head around the
Speaker 7: sudden inability to win games at home. Something broke there
Speaker 7: in that Green Bay Packers game, and that that's what
Speaker 7: started the calendar year. Is you losing you getting walked
Speaker 7: by Green Bay at AT and T Stadium. That game
Speaker 7: turned out to be, in hindsight, the turning point from
Speaker 7: you being literally the best home team in the NFL
Speaker 7: for the past two plus seasons to literally being the
Speaker 7: worst home team inclusive of that game. Six consecutive losses
Speaker 7: at home before they stopped the bleeding when the Giants
Speaker 7: came to town.
Speaker 2: Most of those by twenty points.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they were not even close. On top of that, like,
Speaker 7: those weren't competitive games. So for the entirety of the
Speaker 7: season as that was happening, I just I couldn't wrap
Speaker 7: my head around what was going on at AT and T Stadium,
Speaker 7: other than to say they just never emotionally and mentally
Speaker 7: recovered from Green Bay walking onto the field and punching
Speaker 7: them in the face and beating them into submission. And
Speaker 7: from then, you know, Now you go forward in the
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five and you hope that, especially after defeating
Speaker 7: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that was a message game because
Speaker 7: you didn't have to play grinch there, but you bucked
Speaker 7: up for McCarthy and Mike Zimmer and you showed that
Speaker 7: you're still galvanized as the locker room and you win,
Speaker 7: and you did that hopefully that type of momentum culturally
Speaker 7: rolls over into twenty twenty five. But for me, twenty
Speaker 7: twenty four will be marred in a large way by
Speaker 7: just the inability to do anything competitive at home until
Speaker 7: it was too late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the time it was already said, yeah, it
Speaker 2: was too basically mine. I think all of those are fantastic,
Speaker 2: and to a certain extent, it's a mesh of all those.
Speaker 2: I think my lasting impression is going to happen as
Speaker 2: to what happens over the next couple of weeks with
Speaker 2: the coaching staff. I'll go on record and I'll say
Speaker 2: it because I've already given the backup behind.
Speaker 4: It there with a chest.
Speaker 2: I think it would be a mistake to.
Speaker 4: Move on for Mike McCarthy said it was more more time.
Speaker 2: I think it would be a mistake. I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I've been wrong in the past, but right now as
Speaker 2: we sit, my gut feeling says, if you move on
Speaker 2: for Mike McCarthy, it might be the hard reset that
Speaker 2: you've been avoiding for so long. Whereas I mean it
Speaker 2: would serve as a reset. But when you're hiring a coach,
Speaker 2: when you're hiring a coach. Your anticipation moving on for
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is that they would elevate this team to
Speaker 2: go win playoff games. I don't know if you can
Speaker 2: realistically expect that with a completely new staff.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough either way.
Speaker 2: And sure, you could go hire one of these other
Speaker 2: names that are out there on the open market that
Speaker 2: have had success in other places, and they could come
Speaker 2: in here and do great. I just don't feel like
Speaker 2: it would be as effective what Mike McCarthy could do
Speaker 2: on this team. And I think I'm in the media
Speaker 2: minority in that fact. I think most of the media,
Speaker 2: most of the Cowboys fans out there, are okay with
Speaker 2: moving on from Mike McCarthy. I have no ties with
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, let me give you make that very very clear.
Speaker 2: I just think it would be a mistake to move
Speaker 2: on from him. I think he's the best guy to
Speaker 2: lead this football team. And we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: Moving as Michael Michaels is figure skating.
Speaker 2: But that's where my last thing impression. I mean, a
Speaker 2: lot of this week feels like a lot of this week,
Speaker 2: even walking around the building and being in this vicinity,
Speaker 2: it feels like it did in twenty nineteen when they
Speaker 2: elected to move on from Jason Garrett, because we were
Speaker 2: here for that and it was just very down. It
Speaker 2: was very somber, and there was a lot of intrigue,
Speaker 2: but question and uncertainty. It feels like that again right now.
Speaker 2: If you do move on, like we talked about earlier,
Speaker 2: so be it. But I just think it would be
Speaker 2: a mistake. We may be coming back, We may be
Speaker 2: coming back at the end of next year, and the
Speaker 2: Cowboys are sitting at four and thirteen and they weren't
Speaker 2: able to figure it out with a new head coach
Speaker 2: in there at any point in time, and I might
Speaker 2: just say, you know what, guys, I thought that would
Speaker 2: be the possibility. See that in that career that could
Speaker 2: have been the case.
Speaker 7: This is why I say I'm fine, given how the
Speaker 7: back end of the season went and the month of
Speaker 7: December went, the Philadelphia was game notwithstanding, because what the hell.
Speaker 4: Was that outside of that two years?
Speaker 7: A two year deal, now, of course that stuff offer
Speaker 7: because free agency is a two way street. So I
Speaker 7: would offer him two years, But what would maybe the
Speaker 7: Chicago Bears offer him, What would maybe the New Orleans
Speaker 7: Saints offer him, assuming that you know, the Jets are
Speaker 7: still trying to figure out.
Speaker 4: So I mean five years. I'm not in on.
Speaker 7: Five because now because of what I just said, not
Speaker 7: because I'm willing to revisit this after next year. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and not still be on the hook for four more
Speaker 7: years financially, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So I'm with you on that.
Speaker 7: I'm fine with McCarthy if they choose to remain in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five with McCarthy, I'm totally fine with that
Speaker 7: because I've seen the fight. Yes, I've seen what Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 7: Let me make sure I specified you saw that. Kyle
Speaker 7: in Santa Clara during a struggling season, a down season,
Speaker 7: couldn't keep his locker room together.
Speaker 4: Guys were refusing to go into the field.
Speaker 2: For literally walking off the field.
Speaker 4: The middle of a game. Was that ever an issue here?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 7: Ever, with the defense struggling in the first half, and
Speaker 7: now this is kudos to Mike zimmers Well, in the
Speaker 7: back half of the season, those same guys, it wasn't
Speaker 7: just next man up, it was next man, next man up,
Speaker 7: and they still were being competitive. So I'm in for
Speaker 7: both of the MIC's for twenty twenty five, as long
Speaker 7: as in doing so, you don't lose like an Al Harris,
Speaker 7: because if you're.
Speaker 4: Going to lose an L. Harris. Now, now we got
Speaker 4: to have the conversation about the.
Speaker 2: Talking about this a little bit. Yeah, when we started
Speaker 2: the season with you, When we started the season, I
Speaker 2: had a ten win mark on this team. Ten wins
Speaker 2: is what I anticipated. You finished with seven, possibly eight,
Speaker 2: you could get that. I don't remember either, but I
Speaker 2: remember having I thought this would be a ten and
Speaker 2: seven football team going into the year. You finished with
Speaker 2: seven maybe eight wins. I don't think you get even
Speaker 2: close to that with this roster, in this situation, with
Speaker 2: these injuries, with this lack of depth, with all of that.
Speaker 2: Without Mike McCarthy, I think this is a four and
Speaker 2: thirteen team without Mike McCarthy. True, that is true, is
Speaker 2: not wrong, thank you. But you had a shutdown to
Speaker 2: playoffs with it, and that's that's impressive. That's impressive. So yeah,
Speaker 2: if they move on, they move on. That's part of it.
Speaker 2: But I think it.
Speaker 4: Fine with it. Yeah, I like him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, all ya, Kyle, all right, when we
Speaker 2: come back, it's time for one final Pickham segment.
Speaker 4: Give us a call eight eight eight eight five five
Speaker 4: two two.

Speaker 2: Let's go appreciate, We appreciate you, Albert. We're gonna have

Speaker 2: potential dogs because Carson Wentz is playing instead of Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Keep that in mind. Against the Broncos that need a
Speaker 2: win in order to make the postseason. Anybody got a
Speaker 2: dog this week? We'll start with Patrick.

Speaker 4: Yeah, that's okay this year for sure, Coach. Let's go
Speaker 4: with the Bears.
Speaker 2: Okay, Bears, Josh, I think that exactly what their chance is.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Chiefs too, but I'm going
Speaker 2: with the Browns. Oh, okay, Albert, what you got Chiefs?
