Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is the
Speaker 1: Player's Lab, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at
Speaker 1: the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny mccraig, and
Speaker 1: Newi Scrugs. Good day off seasons here offseason Monday right now.
Speaker 1: Players lives about hotels dot com, So folks may need
Speaker 1: a hotel right about now to go. Heay and get away,
Speaker 1: want to get away because it's over. It's a rap
Speaker 1: over football season over for the Cowboys. They lose. He
Speaker 1: was so excited, Bro, I have no more frustrations to give.
Speaker 1: I have been let down so much. Brother, you can't.
Speaker 1: When you've been down here so long and you've covered
Speaker 1: this disappointment so much, it is what it is now.
Speaker 1: You look at this town, Dallas Fort Worth, and you
Speaker 1: look at the massive amounts of disappointment. Now. I got
Speaker 1: to cover Jimmy's last year with the Cowboys. I was
Speaker 1: working in Austin. Got to cover that, got to cover
Speaker 1: some of Barrie's first year. So I've seen what a
Speaker 1: championship team looks like, seeing the atmosphere, seeing the people,
Speaker 1: and when you talk about being in this town since
Speaker 1: two thousand, like I have since then two thousand, since
Speaker 1: I got here to work at Channel five, I've watched
Speaker 1: the Stars played for it twice cup twice lost. Boat
Speaker 1: watch the Rangers play in the World Series twice lost, boat,
Speaker 1: watch the Mavericks play for the NBA Championship twice lost. One.
Speaker 1: Cowboys have never gone to Super Bowl during the time
Speaker 1: I've been here. But I mean, and and along the way,
Speaker 1: I have seen teams that had the talent to get
Speaker 1: to that level and they didn't do. It's that phone.
Speaker 1: It don't make it no easier to take. I mean,
Speaker 1: because well maybe maybe maybe for you, maybe for you,
Speaker 1: but for me who literally like I get invested in
Speaker 1: the squad. We do the show every day, so I'm
Speaker 1: more in tune now with the game. Even even when I, like,
Speaker 1: after I retired, I was just watching the games on Sunday,
Speaker 1: so talking about it every day, figuring, hey, man, we're
Speaker 1: inventially gonna figure this, figure this thing out. I know
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into it. Don't make it no easier
Speaker 1: to sit to watch what happened yesterday, especially how bad
Speaker 1: it was yesterday, does not make it any easier because
Speaker 1: you know that if you don't, if you don't do
Speaker 1: knuckleheads stuff, then you probably got a chance to at
Speaker 1: least make it to the next round. And you just
Speaker 1: watching it like, now, why would you do that? Why
Speaker 1: would you do that? Why would you do this? Why
Speaker 1: would you do that? We've been doing this all year.
Speaker 1: You're ever gonna learn And you watch it, and you
Speaker 1: watched the culmination of the entire season, all the mistakes
Speaker 1: that were made throughout the entire season, when you say,
Speaker 1: these are the ones that we're gonna go back and fix,
Speaker 1: and then you watch it happen in the playoff game,
Speaker 1: You're like, it's frustrating. It's frustrating. They are who we
Speaker 1: thought they were. I mean, it's as simple as that.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the whole the whole organization. When you
Speaker 1: when you go through the entire season and you're the
Speaker 1: most penalized team throughout the entire season, it's gonna reoccur.
Speaker 1: Something that's gonna hit you. It's gonna hurt you when
Speaker 1: it matters most. And they got into the playoffs and
Speaker 1: what happened Fourteen penalties for eighty nine yards and we
Speaker 1: ain't talking about you know, first down, But we're talking
Speaker 1: about on both sides of the ball, money down, third
Speaker 1: downs and big situations. It was either a hold defensively,
Speaker 1: which I've never seen, nothing like that. But if you
Speaker 1: look at the calls they were they were warranted calls,
Speaker 1: hands to the face, Nevill Gallimore third down situation. You
Speaker 1: got a team that's not disciplined at all, and we've
Speaker 1: seen it, by the way, But who does that fall on?
Speaker 1: It starts up top and it works its way down,
Speaker 1: by the way, Barry Church, Danny m Crazy New Scrubs
Speaker 1: dot Com. As we talked about the loss of the
Speaker 1: nine Ers, the Cowboys have had three playoff wins, um
Speaker 1: and you keep going back to ownership. You're you're in
Speaker 1: charge of this, so when you say where does it go?
Speaker 1: It has to start at the top because this is
Speaker 1: Jerry's organization. If I point the finger like I always
Speaker 1: do and say, you know, Washington's not winning, I pointed
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder, get what this guy's done. You're the constant here.
Speaker 1: Start looking over the last two generations in twenty five,
Speaker 1: it's the gem. The Joneses are on top, so it
Speaker 1: falls on them. Yeah, and then you go next level
Speaker 1: of Mike McCarthy You guys talked about the penalties after
Speaker 1: the game, Mike was asked about him. Okay, and that's
Speaker 1: that's one thing I tried to defend me. I said, look,
Speaker 1: they were like he could plain about he was asked.
Speaker 1: He was asked, I want to hear about that, about this?
Speaker 1: He gave Mike mccarthier age, he did, okay, yeah, we
Speaker 1: can get full right, Can I get the full record
Speaker 1: of what I said? What did I say? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: let grad yes letter? And what did I say after
Speaker 1: I said you had the right to change your mind? Right?
Speaker 1: I said it right no at the time, and I said,
Speaker 1: when the playoffs come, because it's incomplete, it's like the final. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just like your NBA final. How much do you
Speaker 1: can how much? Who was your finals? How much? Who
Speaker 1: was it? Waited? Come on, man, I waited. I waited playoff.
Speaker 1: Come on, let me tell that we need we can
Speaker 1: let it. Let tell you. Let me tell you what
Speaker 1: I said. I graded the playoff like a final. It was.
Speaker 1: I let you. I'll let you walk into this newe.
Speaker 1: I'll let you walk right into that because you are
Speaker 1: the same dude who gave me somebody an A and
Speaker 1: then talk about the entire season you just agreed to
Speaker 1: saying they are who we thought they were, the most
Speaker 1: penalized team. Right. You gave the guy who has that
Speaker 1: team in eight? Is that right? And then we're talking
Speaker 1: about what they do and what they what I gave
Speaker 1: him by a four? So now I'm gonna change my mind.
Speaker 1: Oh No, I told him he was brought he was
Speaker 1: brought here, and I was gonna get based it on.
Speaker 1: You were brought here to be better than Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He failed and the fact that he failed,
Speaker 1: and to me, the playoff is like the final, you're
Speaker 1: going down to a seed, you're a C. Plus. She
Speaker 1: shouldn't have had an A. Should have been going going
Speaker 1: into going into this. I had him there. I know
Speaker 1: he failed. He bombed on the final. Okay, they're the
Speaker 1: only one I was talking about as a head coach
Speaker 1: and great as a head coach. I had me he
Speaker 1: had an ag going into the final. He bombed. You
Speaker 1: know how you see plus? Because the final and the
Speaker 1: way I waited it and the way I was grading
Speaker 1: him was this is why you're here, This is why
Speaker 1: I was booboodo fool I hit drinking the kool aid
Speaker 1: saying Mike McCartney, they got it right. He's a super
Speaker 1: Bowl guy. This is upgrade over Jason Garrett. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: And there's no excuses to usten to what happened. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: this is what he, like you said, it is Brant.
Speaker 1: What is what he was about here to do to
Speaker 1: get this team over the to be that super Bowl
Speaker 1: winning coach. He had a number one offense, his defense
Speaker 1: took the football away better than any team left in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and relatively they were healthy. Outside of Kiano Kneel,
Speaker 1: they were healthy. So there's just no excuses for this one.
Speaker 1: And he is what I thought he was. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, Okay, I'm gonna go back to my
Speaker 1: days with the Chicago Bears where we were in training camp.
Speaker 1: The defense was killing the offense. We like, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a top notch defense until you get out
Speaker 1: there and you realize that that offense is tramsh all right,
Speaker 1: And this is what I'm talking. I won't hear about
Speaker 1: this number one offense anymore, okay, because what happens is
Speaker 1: it's the law of averages, right, That's how you get
Speaker 1: the number one offense. So when you go out there
Speaker 1: and you put up a fifty on a Washington football team,
Speaker 1: you go out there and you put up another big, big,
Speaker 1: big score on the Philadelphia Eagles team, and you continue
Speaker 1: to do this against these squash Yeah, you got a
Speaker 1: number one offense. But if you watch the game like
Speaker 1: we watched the game, a true football with true football knowledge,
Speaker 1: you know that this was no number one offense. Just
Speaker 1: like when you say, all right, I think the defense
Speaker 1: was top ten based off what I'm seeing, but the
Speaker 1: numbers won't show them what we said when the season ended,
Speaker 1: Can you say the same thing about the offense, especially
Speaker 1: the last eight weeks of the season. No, they were
Speaker 1: on this slide. There's a whole slump in there that
Speaker 1: we talked about. Have a touchdown the last he had
Speaker 1: one catch. Yeah, last he didn't have a touchdown in
Speaker 1: the game. But but Kelly Moore's got job interview to
Speaker 1: prepare for them. Man, young head come he better still
Speaker 1: he better go watch that film with what Shannahan did
Speaker 1: to us and watch CBO debo saying you get ten
Speaker 1: carres for save me two yards and two three three cards.
Speaker 1: But that is that is what CDEE Lamb can do
Speaker 1: something similar to it. I'm not gonna say that he's
Speaker 1: as good as or whatever because we see Debo doing
Speaker 1: it now. But that's how that's how you get creative
Speaker 1: and get the ball in your playmaker's hands. We ain't
Speaker 1: see it again yesterday. Look who we targeted out there.
Speaker 1: I mean no disrespect, but we're getting, said Wilson, the
Speaker 1: majority of these targets. When it came down a nutcutting time,
Speaker 1: who did that? Press got put the prayer too? It
Speaker 1: was said Wilson was an interception to Wilson, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's mind blowing the mad. Do you think it's it's
Speaker 1: the it's the kelling Moore drawn these up for these
Speaker 1: specific players where you just think, this is where Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott is going with the foot back was off yesterday.
Speaker 1: I've been at home long enough to watch because I
Speaker 1: don't get to watch the actual film like when Brunos
Speaker 1: we used to get the film, so I have to
Speaker 1: like watch whatever or live Ski and Ryan Clark and them.
Speaker 1: And it's good because sometimes they break down specific plays
Speaker 1: and it's the play that we're talking about. You line
Speaker 1: up at three by one, you got single covers on
Speaker 1: the back side. It's covered four. It's covered four. You
Speaker 1: got one on one on the back side because the
Speaker 1: backside safety is coming to three, right heat threw it to,
Speaker 1: said Wilson at number two. You got one on one
Speaker 1: on the back side. I don't want to hear nothing
Speaker 1: about that. That ain't killing more fault. That was that like?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure this is consistent throughout that entire game
Speaker 1: because they ran pretty much the same stuff and they
Speaker 1: found a way to stop us throughout the entire game.
Speaker 1: So now I'm not so if you watch it that way,
Speaker 1: it's like, nah, I can't get it. I can't put
Speaker 1: it all though, killer, but not running the ball, that's
Speaker 1: all that's on killing. Sixteen carries. Sixteen carries the entire
Speaker 1: game between Zeke and Polo, and Zeke was getting positive yards, bro,
Speaker 1: And what did we say, but did we say last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks we don't need them to get a thousand,
Speaker 1: We don't need them get a hundred fifty yards. Just
Speaker 1: the attempts to keep a defense, honest, We'll do you wonders.
Speaker 1: And what did we see out there when you when
Speaker 1: you try to give a play action with only sixteen carries?
Speaker 1: That defense is not gonna bite up. They're gonna sit
Speaker 1: back and coverage of being all in the windows. And
Speaker 1: as we saw out there, a lot of those throws
Speaker 1: they were contested. They were in mucky coverage because you
Speaker 1: have no run game to throw that balance off. And
Speaker 1: our best drive was when we came out and ran
Speaker 1: the ball. Literally the boot work, like everything worked all
Speaker 1: of a sudden. I'm like and like I said, I'm
Speaker 1: sitting at the bar, and you would be no, no kidding, bro.
Speaker 1: The bar's full full of people, everybody watching the game.
Speaker 1: We come out, they run the ball and people are
Speaker 1: high fiving. Yeah, this is this is ridiculous. Absolutely right
Speaker 1: in concrete Cowboy right up the street were talking about Philly.
Speaker 1: You at a game. Turns out I see turns on TV,
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people outside. It was on the Vaccinator whatever.
Speaker 1: So on that drive you spoke up, that was an
Speaker 1: eight play drive. Six of the players were running plays
Speaker 1: and it ended obviously in that touchdown to to Cooper.
Speaker 1: So McCarthy head coach brought in to win that kind
Speaker 1: of game, didn't do it. Dak Prescott paid one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty million dollars as a franchise quarterback. You're paid
Speaker 1: to win that game two minutes forty two seconds ago
Speaker 1: despite a an awful let down performance as an entire team,
Speaker 1: and Dak there as a quarterback, you had your shot,
Speaker 1: had your shot, and you don't get it done. So
Speaker 1: when I look at the quarterback, I say, you didn't
Speaker 1: get it done either. Somethingist he didn't get it done
Speaker 1: as the quarterback. That's making that kind of money, all right,
Speaker 1: Listen the entire team. I don't know let down by
Speaker 1: the entire team. Okay, we had some leakage on defense.
Speaker 1: Special teams came out, made some plays. They scored twenty
Speaker 1: three points. That gives them the ball in the on territory.
Speaker 1: Deebo saying it didn't runs it in for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: All right, So they get points off turnover off turnovers
Speaker 1: our defense, Ben, but don't break that is that is
Speaker 1: what you're watching at this point, especially when your offense
Speaker 1: is going three and out and put the ball right
Speaker 1: back to these dudes. So I want to let down,
Speaker 1: Nah defense play well enough to win twenty three points.
Speaker 1: What did we say when we love Hey man, if
Speaker 1: we if our offense and scored twenty four twenty five points,
Speaker 1: we should get the dub they scored twenty three. I
Speaker 1: will say this, then you turn the ball over. Defensively,
Speaker 1: they did score on the first four drives, Jimmy Gravelo
Speaker 1: and San Francisco did score on those first four drift
Speaker 1: field goals. It was three field goals in the touchdown, okay,
Speaker 1: And so it's like, you know, they got to make
Speaker 1: some stops too, now, no, oh, but the defense when
Speaker 1: it was time too, they made stops after holding those
Speaker 1: dudes to field go So I'm not saying they played
Speaker 1: a perfect game. But when you go into the game,
Speaker 1: you say, hey, man, if our defense can hold this
Speaker 1: team to how many points whatever, our officers should be
Speaker 1: able to win. And yeah, they literally all agreed on
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five. Like I think your pick
Speaker 1: was was what was the score? Like? Here you went
Speaker 1: and I got it right now? Uh d Mac twenty
Speaker 1: eight twenty five, Barry twenty seven twenty four. I had
Speaker 1: twenty four twenty two. So so when you so in
Speaker 1: all those right, you said, the defense played as well,
Speaker 1: give it a chance to win it turn over. You
Speaker 1: give the ball back to these dudes repeatedly at the
Speaker 1: end of the game to go make these plays. I mean,
Speaker 1: both sides got to play. No, no, no no, no no.
Speaker 1: I'm saying they have to play better, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: it wasn't a letdown. They played it. They played well
Speaker 1: enough for us to win this this football game. It's
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and special teams came
Speaker 1: out and they and they made some play. They gave
Speaker 1: us an extra posession. Goodwin with a anger over there,
Speaker 1: gave us an extra posession of offense let down the
Speaker 1: other ones played was enough to win. There's some stuff
Speaker 1: that you can fix, but that is playoff football. But
Speaker 1: the letdown of what we saw in the offense, that
Speaker 1: that right there, to me, is like an excuseable. McCarthy said,
Speaker 1: the team was jittering coming out to start the game.
Speaker 1: And I want to make sure that I'm one fair
Speaker 1: as I say this. That is what I used to
Speaker 1: beat Jason Garrett. Thank you all the time, hey man,
Speaker 1: that that Packers game in which McCarthy was a head
Speaker 1: team was jittery. I did getting beat dude, that's a
Speaker 1: on us, the head coach. I want to make sure
Speaker 1: that I put Mike McCarthy. I look at Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 1: What happened is being worse than what happened with Jason Garrett,
Speaker 1: because you're the dude who had a ring on your finger.
Speaker 1: You're the guy who was supposed to be better. You
Speaker 1: weren't better. You didn't have them ready to go. I
Speaker 1: got these penalties left and right, and after the game.
Speaker 1: You want to sit up here to agree with your players.
Speaker 1: The reps had this and not to do with it. Man,
Speaker 1: come on, man, Rady Green gram baar Hood and folks
Speaker 1: on defense. It isn't the first time. This ain't the
Speaker 1: first time. He you know, man, he's refs, he's refts,
Speaker 1: and then your players go out there and say the
Speaker 1: same thing. It was. This was this was this disappointing,
Speaker 1: um a coaching performance that I've seen for Cowboy fans.
Speaker 1: And I'm not you know, I can't be mad at it,
Speaker 1: because damn it, it's just it's just they just changed
Speaker 1: the names and we're seeing the same old stuff, man,
Speaker 1: and it's I feel bad. I feel bad for the fans,
Speaker 1: and because when you I grew up a Cowboy fan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to have the cowboy raincoat, backpack, John's curtain.
Speaker 1: I mean my whole wardrobe was all cowboys, man. I
Speaker 1: mean I was that dude. I was a dude that
Speaker 1: didn't want to go to school on Monday because of
Speaker 1: the Catch game. My mom sitting because my mind had
Speaker 1: talked all hash noise. I don't want to go. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go. I'm not that anymore because I
Speaker 1: covered and now I just been let down so long.
Speaker 1: But they can't. You can't hurt me no more. Man,
Speaker 1: you can't hurt me. No. My my armor's up. Can't
Speaker 1: hurt me. I saw the sea like, man, Okay, we've
Speaker 1: seen worse. Honestly, I've seen worse. I'm on the sidelines
Speaker 1: for the Romo game. I'm on the sideline for the
Speaker 1: Mason Crosby kick. I see it, um, you know, for
Speaker 1: for people like Chris Bean. You remember the game in
Speaker 1: San Francisco where the Cowboys started off slow and they
Speaker 1: fought their way back and then there was some questionable
Speaker 1: stuff at the end of me. I've seen the letdown, man,
Speaker 1: I've seen it, and here you are one more time.
Speaker 1: I put faith in the dude that I thought could
Speaker 1: get it done. Stupid me. I look like shout shout
Speaker 1: out to a Anthony Brown for making it, you know,
Speaker 1: throughout the year. But he made an ele a play
Speaker 1: to get that interception and get us a score to
Speaker 1: make that game closer and give us a shot to
Speaker 1: win at the end of the game. Let's take our
Speaker 1: first break. Let's talk about who's gonna hire. Calamore's got

Speaker 1: We scrugs. It is a let down Mondday because all
Speaker 1: three of us picked the Cowboys to win. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was the only one who covered spread Kellen Moore. Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore's got job interviews home Jacksonville. Are I mean yeah?
Speaker 1: Jackson Villey already interviewed dan Quinn helped him there. Minnesota
Speaker 1: wants to interview him, Denver wants to interview him. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't think Houston has cold for for Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: at all. Here dan Quinn has got interviews. Uh did
Speaker 1: a lot of people think he's the head the fare
Speaker 1: to get the head coaching job over with the Denver
Speaker 1: broncos Um. How are we feeling about Kellen Moore possibly
Speaker 1: becoming a head coach and Dan Quinn becoming a head
Speaker 1: coach now that this thing is over? Same well for
Speaker 1: last week, y'all over here talking about Kelly Moore's resume
Speaker 1: and cowboys and cowboys that you can't wait to get
Speaker 1: him about it or nine. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Kelly Moore just has some work to do, man, he
Speaker 1: has some work to do. He's obviously not listening to
Speaker 1: the stuff that he should be listening to as far
Speaker 1: as hey, man, we need to get out here, and
Speaker 1: we need to establish the run. We need to be
Speaker 1: a little bit more creative with getting our playmakers the ball.
Speaker 1: I think those are two glaring weaknesses in Kelly Moore's
Speaker 1: offensive play calling. And to give him a head coaching
Speaker 1: job knowing that you are paying guys fifty sixty seventy
Speaker 1: million dollars to be playmakers and he's not going to
Speaker 1: make sure he put those guys in the position to
Speaker 1: make plays. That's something that I would be worried about.
Speaker 1: Dudes are writing checks? You got you got ninety million
Speaker 1: dollars running back, hundred million dollars receiver back there, and
Speaker 1: you can't figure first round receiver. You can't figure out
Speaker 1: the way to get this man to catch, You can't
Speaker 1: figure out the way to get him involved in the game. So, like,
Speaker 1: those are the things that would worry me about hiring
Speaker 1: him as a head coach, And those are the things
Speaker 1: that worry me about him staying here as an offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator because it's team players. These guys want to be
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is only the only one who spoke up.
Speaker 1: But I know behind those doors there's a lot of
Speaker 1: dudes out there like, bro this, why like why are
Speaker 1: we not getting this person the ball? Like I can
Speaker 1: help us be better? Zeke's I know he's he's a
Speaker 1: team guy, but I know he's upset with his lack
Speaker 1: of production and his opportunities this season as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, but all works out for Kelly. You know,
Speaker 1: I hope he goes and maybe he'll get, you know,
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville job and be down there with with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: But you're absolutely right, there's some things that he's got
Speaker 1: to work on, And to me, it's it's adjustments because
Speaker 1: we've seen at the beginning of the year. I mean,
Speaker 1: we were all in here calling him the hall man,
Speaker 1: He's the boy Jenius. He's getting the most out of
Speaker 1: this team. Man, they're flying all over the place. You know.
Speaker 1: That was the first couple of weeks, first maybe six
Speaker 1: weeks out there, and then team started figuring them out.
Speaker 1: People started getting the tape on him like they do
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks, and they started to figuring them out, and
Speaker 1: we couldn't make any adjustments to it. We started playing
Speaker 1: doing hook and laterals for you know, third town calls,
Speaker 1: which it still blows my mind, but we did that
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, we did a couple
Speaker 1: of I was like, man, with what's going on? But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's some things he's got to work on. But overall,
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't see him getting out of here.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's got that connection with the Joneses,
Speaker 1: and I can't see them letting him just walk away
Speaker 1: to the to go be a head coach somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could see them letting Dan Quinn do
Speaker 1: that before they let Kelly Moore. How much success can
Speaker 1: we have with Kelly Moore? Here's office avecordinator. If he
Speaker 1: keeps up the way he's going, I'm not saying a lot,
Speaker 1: because we've just because the blueprints out there. When we
Speaker 1: have a balanced attack, that's when we're at our best.
Speaker 1: But he's not willing to do that. So as long
Speaker 1: as he's here, I mean, and as long as he
Speaker 1: keeps that same type of game plan, I can't see
Speaker 1: us having that much success. Thought, if Kellen Moore's back
Speaker 1: and Vic Fangio does not get a head coaching job,
Speaker 1: or in fact, I'd call Vic Fangio now before he
Speaker 1: even gets another job, just an assistance. What about paying
Speaker 1: him saying, man, I need you to come in here.
Speaker 1: I need to spend an afternoon with Kellen Moore and
Speaker 1: my staff. Tell us what you guys did in that
Speaker 1: Denver game, because whatever you did, everybody else ran got
Speaker 1: that tape and they figured it out. Help him get better,
Speaker 1: you guys tell me. I don't know how so because
Speaker 1: I think at this point he is who he is, Like,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not about what Denver did in that game.
Speaker 1: Like we can all sit here and see that there's
Speaker 1: a simple solution, right, being balanced, Right, that is something
Speaker 1: that he will have to accept that he has to
Speaker 1: do versus I'm going to draw up this scheme to
Speaker 1: make sure that I get somebody open versus Hey, man,
Speaker 1: it's a man on man game. It's zero something. Somebody wins,
Speaker 1: somebody losers, and that is that is what the essence
Speaker 1: of NFL football is, all right. So sometimes you gotta
Speaker 1: get out there and you just gotta run the ball.
Speaker 1: Let me let me push back as a as a
Speaker 1: person who didn't play in the league like you guys.
Speaker 1: Are you guys? Did I say that from the standpoint
Speaker 1: of if I'm running a business and somebody out here
Speaker 1: is figuring out how to beat me in a certain area,
Speaker 1: why not go get a consultant to help me understand
Speaker 1: how do I get better in this area? I mean,
Speaker 1: as a defensive guy and you guys play defense. Is
Speaker 1: it helpful at times when you go to the offensive
Speaker 1: guy to say, hey, look, this is how we got
Speaker 1: you here, this is how we got you there, and
Speaker 1: it's definitely helpful. But like I was saying earlier, or
Speaker 1: is he willing to take these adjustments? Is he willing
Speaker 1: to take this coaching? Because as we see in the
Speaker 1: entire city, he was stuck in his ways. We wanted
Speaker 1: to throw the ball all over the place. We continued,
Speaker 1: even though we've seen if we get these running backs carries,
Speaker 1: our record is improven, we get the most production out
Speaker 1: of our offense we've seen if we see that. I
Speaker 1: know that coaching staff sees that. So I think he's
Speaker 1: kind of stuck in his ways where I don't know
Speaker 1: if he wants to be the sexy thing or just
Speaker 1: you know, he wants to air it out, play mad
Speaker 1: and whatever the case may be. But for some reason,
Speaker 1: he wants to put it in Dak Prescott's hands alone.
Speaker 1: And from what we've seen, once we get to the
Speaker 1: playoffs and having a long projective season, that's just not
Speaker 1: the solution. And also you'll remember this when I said,
Speaker 1: I believe it is during the bye week where they
Speaker 1: do self scout, so dan Quinn will watch our offense
Speaker 1: and then go tell Kellen what he thinks about and
Speaker 1: what he would do to stop it. So it's not
Speaker 1: like somebody like nobody has has gotten in his ear
Speaker 1: and say hey, this is this is this is what's
Speaker 1: happening to you, and this is how you need to
Speaker 1: get it fixed. Because during the bibe week, literally every
Speaker 1: year that I played, it would sell Scout week and
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore would would scout dan Quinn's defense and dan
Speaker 1: Quinn with scout Keller Moore's offense, and then you would
Speaker 1: come together and say this is how we can be better. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go through each job here for Kellen Moore, and
Speaker 1: you tell me your thoughts if you're Jacksonville in terms
Speaker 1: of why would you say yes? Why would you say no?
Speaker 1: So let's start with the last one here, Miami, why
Speaker 1: would you say yes to Kellen Moore? Wid saying why
Speaker 1: would you say? Now? I don't even know who they
Speaker 1: got on a roster, right, you don't have You don't
Speaker 1: really have a quarterback to me that I believe in
Speaker 1: as being a franchise guy, and I think Keller Moore
Speaker 1: needs needs some pieces. Um. It's hard for me to
Speaker 1: answer these questions right now. I'm so down on the
Speaker 1: due so it's like it's easy for me to say
Speaker 1: like why not, Um, but yeah, go to Miami. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't I don't really know who who
Speaker 1: the hell they got up? If I'm Miami, I'm saying
Speaker 1: yes because he's a he's a young quarter woll to
Speaker 1: answer half of the question, Yes, because he's a young
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. He or he's offensive coordinator, but he can
Speaker 1: relate to the quarterbacks. We've seen what he's done with
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and how he's been able to have the
Speaker 1: number one offense out there. And from what we've seen
Speaker 1: from this Miami team, the strength of their team has
Speaker 1: been the defense. The defense is bawling and the offense
Speaker 1: has you know, kind of gotten here and there, up
Speaker 1: and down. Maybe if you bring a guy like that in,
Speaker 1: he can help stabilize that and make that offense one
Speaker 1: of the powers of that team overall. But what you
Speaker 1: say no, is you got to look at the season.
Speaker 1: We just had the inconsistencies, the ups and downs. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what happened with your squad last year with two us.
Speaker 1: So to me, raw if I was Miami, I'd say no.
Speaker 1: What about Denver. Denver, there's a situation where I think
Speaker 1: he might have an opportunity. I think dan Quinn has
Speaker 1: the better opportunity. But from what we've seen in Denver,
Speaker 1: hiring defensive you know, minded coaches has not really been
Speaker 1: productive for them. I mean it was Vick Vanjie was
Speaker 1: there last year, and we've seen what happened. They need
Speaker 1: an offensive mind to get the most out of their team.
Speaker 1: They got a great wide receiver corps, two great running
Speaker 1: backs back there, they got a good tight end. I
Speaker 1: think they're one quarterback away from from being a pretty
Speaker 1: good team. And if you have an offensive minded coach
Speaker 1: like Kella Moore to balance out that great defense, I
Speaker 1: think you've got something going on right there. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just push back on that one because I think we
Speaker 1: got the same stuff here. Yea, And when we're watching
Speaker 1: the same the same guy who's calling these plays have
Speaker 1: these weapons. You got to Zeke. You got a Mary Cooper,
Speaker 1: you got a Michael Gallup, you got Cede Lamb. These
Speaker 1: I think the weapons here are better. And we're sitting
Speaker 1: here looking like, so, so, how are you going to
Speaker 1: use these dudes? Why? Why are we throwing the ball?
Speaker 1: Why said Wilson, a feature in the offense at this
Speaker 1: point versus a CD Lamb or a Mary Cooper? And
Speaker 1: why are you even giving the quarterback the options to
Speaker 1: be looking at? And said, right, hey, man, hey, this
Speaker 1: I'm drawing up this play for nineteen Well, I've been
Speaker 1: saying this for almost two years now, and I just
Speaker 1: I just don't Maybe it needs a rookie quarterback. You
Speaker 1: got Minnesota, So Minnesota, you've got Jefferson, you got Feeling,
Speaker 1: You've got doubt her cousins, you got Kirk Cousins. So
Speaker 1: um your thoughts on Kellen Moore and Minnesota wants to
Speaker 1: talk to him once again? Okay, once again? If the
Speaker 1: guy is able to use his weapons the correct way,
Speaker 1: Like if you could if Keller Moore goes to Minnesota
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Adam Feeling and Justine Jefferson
Speaker 1: cannot be productive. There's there's an issue. And I will
Speaker 1: be worried about that watching the Cowboys offense, like what
Speaker 1: what is he going to do with the weapons that
Speaker 1: we have in place? All of a sudden you want
Speaker 1: to start throwing the two guys who who are third
Speaker 1: on the depth chart because they're opening your scheme. I
Speaker 1: just it worries me. It worries me. Minnesota Kellen Moore,
Speaker 1: same thing? Why not? Why not? I mean, look at it.
Speaker 1: I think they got a better runner than what we
Speaker 1: have here. And I think he's he's a guy that's
Speaker 1: not as I mean, I don't know him personal, but
Speaker 1: you know Zeke to me, seems like he's one of
Speaker 1: these team players, team first, team first. I feel like
Speaker 1: they add the personalities over there in that running back
Speaker 1: room that'll say I need the ball, and he'll make
Speaker 1: it known that hey, I need these touch is right now?
Speaker 1: Why am I only getting four or five touches a game?
Speaker 1: And I think he put keller More in a situation
Speaker 1: where you gotta feature your best player, which is Dalmond Cook,
Speaker 1: So maybe that would give him the opportunity to have
Speaker 1: more of a balanced structure. It's Kelly more than back
Speaker 1: here next year? Or is he a head coach? I
Speaker 1: think he's back here. I don't think the Joneses let
Speaker 1: him leave. I see Quinn maybe getting an opportunity somewhere
Speaker 1: else before the Jones let Kelling Moore walk on the door.
Speaker 1: It's either McCarthy or killing Moore, but one. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that both of them will be here next year.
Speaker 1: As I said last year, I believe that Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: should be taking the play sheet and he's been in
Speaker 1: the lab like no literally when you advertise like that
Speaker 1: is what you have been doing. And then now we
Speaker 1: look at at the script and whatever you're this offensive
Speaker 1: gene that you're supposed to be knowing all this stuff.
Speaker 1: You ain't even calling the plays like like there should
Speaker 1: be next year. There should be no opportunity for us
Speaker 1: to say, oh, it ain't Mike McCarthy fault because he
Speaker 1: ain't call him to place. Nah. You should live and
Speaker 1: die with your ability to call these plays for your quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: And that's why I think that's why you gotta give
Speaker 1: him a sea or even maybe less whe we're talking
Speaker 1: about earlier, because if he's not calling the plays offensively,
Speaker 1: we know he's not calling the plays defensively. You're here
Speaker 1: to be a manager. You're here to make sure this
Speaker 1: team goes in the right direction time situations, whatever the
Speaker 1: situation may be, Mojo moments. You're the coach that makes
Speaker 1: these decisions, and as we've seen, it's been a failure
Speaker 1: so far. I think Kellamore's gonna be a head coach.
Speaker 1: He's getting about it here. The way this league has hired.
Speaker 1: He's got a better resume than Zach Taylor, got a
Speaker 1: better resume than Nick Sirianni. This man's gonna get a
Speaker 1: job based on how we see them hire. It's not
Speaker 1: about proven resume. It's about and Mike Lombardi talked about you.
Speaker 1: You're You're chosen. You know, they choose this, you're the guy.
Speaker 1: So based on what I've seen in hiring the last
Speaker 1: few years, guy like Matt Lafloor, Yeah, this dude's gonna
Speaker 1: be a head coach, and I think it will be
Speaker 1: this offseason. I think they're gonna lose both guys a job.
Speaker 1: Any jobs got two jobs back, Kelly got two jobs
Speaker 1: back to back. Uh. Eric Mangini got two jobs back
Speaker 1: to back. Yeah, North Turner had three jobs, Waite Phillips
Speaker 1: had three job. This is a league that will reward people.
Speaker 1: But I'm just telling when you start looking at the
Speaker 1: profile these guys that they want, Kellen Moore fits that.
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is gonna be able to go into my Hey,
Speaker 1: look he had high schooling offense, had number I mean,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to come out the end. There's
Speaker 1: going to be an owner or general manager who falls
Speaker 1: into it and he's not gonna be able to control
Speaker 1: the roster. So a GM who wants to remain in
Speaker 1: control can like they do it in Philadelphia, Nick Cerrianty,
Speaker 1: They're gonna hire it Kellen Moore I'm just telling you
Speaker 1: right now, I believe Kelly Moore's gonna be a head
Speaker 1: coach again. I don't. I don't. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: He's a bad offensive coordinator. I think there are some
Speaker 1: things specifically for this team that could have been done differently.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take it right time to talk about
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yeah, in the last play and what
Speaker 1: will be? What will be? Danny mc Craigberry Church New

Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers at home. The Cowboys were three
Speaker 1: point favorites. Nick Bosa ended up leaving and not playing
Speaker 1: in the second half at all final drive. Fred Warner
Speaker 1: their their second best football player on defense. He's not
Speaker 1: there either. So the Cowboys two forty two to go
Speaker 1: could have gone out of the field, won the game,
Speaker 1: didn't do it. Let's talk about the offensive line and
Speaker 1: we could talk about what was and what will be
Speaker 1: concerning the ola. Gentleman, I would let down because I'm
Speaker 1: ni gonna let me beat up on the first go
Speaker 1: ahead Church. It is what it is. Man came down
Speaker 1: to what we talked about last week. I think that
Speaker 1: we brought it up exactly. He said this, this game's
Speaker 1: gonna come down to the trenches, and who's gonna win
Speaker 1: in the trenches. And as we seen this this this
Speaker 1: last game, we got bullied. They got punked out there.
Speaker 1: To just just put as simple as that, and it was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were bringing all types of different
Speaker 1: types of exotic pressures and running all these different type
Speaker 1: of things. It was man on man like coach Marion
Speaker 1: and they said, man on man, bone on bone football.
Speaker 1: And what's the most disheartening about it is they got
Speaker 1: whipped across the board like it wasn't Nobody got spared
Speaker 1: out there. You know, maybe outside of Zach Martin he
Speaker 1: might have held his own, but every other position got whooped.
Speaker 1: I mean, Nick Bosa before he went out was giving
Speaker 1: lihell Collins, the work man on the other side, I
Speaker 1: don't even know his name. He was giving time smith
Speaker 1: head from Texas. But overall, I mean, and let's not
Speaker 1: even begin on Carna Williams, because I think his tape
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. I mean, I was one of, you know,
Speaker 1: the worst, you know, performances we've seen from an offensive
Speaker 1: lineman here in a long time. But they got whipped
Speaker 1: across the board. And what's making it even more disheartening
Speaker 1: is they did that without their best player for three quarters.
Speaker 1: Nick Bossa was out and they still was getting pressured.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Dak was off the entire the
Speaker 1: entire day for the most part, but a lot of
Speaker 1: his throes there was somebody in his lap. If they
Speaker 1: weren't hitting him. He was running for his life out there.
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's a lot to blame to go around.
Speaker 1: But that offensive line was, I mean, it was. It
Speaker 1: was definitely abysmal going out there yesterday. That's what happened
Speaker 1: when you rushed in sixteen times. That's what happened when
Speaker 1: you let God tey off on you like that. They
Speaker 1: don't have to earn the right to rush the passer.
Speaker 1: They just get the rush of the passer and then
Speaker 1: you think you should be able to take a breath
Speaker 1: when Bossa goes out, and it just it didn't get
Speaker 1: any easier for the offensive line. You just like, goodness, Gracia,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? That was? It was a bad
Speaker 1: performance bar offensive line questions that need to be answered
Speaker 1: going into the off season. Who left guard? Who's gonna
Speaker 1: be our left tackle? When we all left guard? Everybody well, like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? You're not doing them a right
Speaker 1: tackle because you just nobody how can you get him
Speaker 1: to play better? Like like, how can we solidify this
Speaker 1: and get back to our glory days? Well, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: win super bowls. But when you were like, hey man,
Speaker 1: this is one of the most feared offensive lines in
Speaker 1: the league. What will be when I talk about this
Speaker 1: offensive line? Number One, Joe Philbin needs at a conversation
Speaker 1: with the head coach. You need to become more physical upfront. Okay,
Speaker 1: physicality is not there. The center needs to be replaced. Okay.
Speaker 1: I know Mike McCarthy liked him coming out of Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: and I don't blame Tyler Be you are who you are,
Speaker 1: but he's a backup player. If this is your backup
Speaker 1: center and guard, little swing combo guy, they're fine. This
Speaker 1: is not that guy. You're left guard Carter Williams. No,
Speaker 1: Nate Williams is Nate Newton has said it for a
Speaker 1: few years now talking about Williams. He's too light and
Speaker 1: you're seeing him getting bullied. He can't get bullied, and
Speaker 1: he got bullied. So if your center is light and
Speaker 1: your left guard and people are able to just attack them,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You saw your quarterback running for his life.
Speaker 1: Your left tackle is undependable in terms of playing games,
Speaker 1: and you got away with it this year for twelve wins.
Speaker 1: But we got to start. He's right, it's time to
Speaker 1: start to look at who is it. Who's that next guy?
Speaker 1: Do you believe Steel can become that guy? Do you
Speaker 1: want to spend the offseason working with the terms of
Speaker 1: left up? But you got to address this because you
Speaker 1: cannot continue to gamble like this. You're gambled. I said
Speaker 1: gamble one more time this year. You're gambled. He smissed games.
Speaker 1: Tyran Smith is an all decade player, but you're still gambling,
Speaker 1: and you got to stop gambling. You have to you
Speaker 1: got away with this offseason and they got to see it.
Speaker 1: I mean I was right there with you. I was
Speaker 1: talking about this is twenty eleven, you know, Tyre Smith
Speaker 1: going into the season, and for a while there we
Speaker 1: were right word. But he got he got het work.
Speaker 1: But it's but you can't do that anymore. So I
Speaker 1: was you know, Danny said, no address it. I said, no,
Speaker 1: band aided You band aided it. You can't band aid
Speaker 1: this anymore. So you can think about from the center
Speaker 1: to the to the left spot right there, center guard,
Speaker 1: left tackle. Uh, you gotta fix this. It's not This
Speaker 1: is not sustainable any longer. It allows you to beat
Speaker 1: up the bad teams. Good teams like this, they're eating
Speaker 1: your lot and they only rushed for the whole they're given.
Speaker 1: With these exotic blitzers, they're getting beat man on And
Speaker 1: that's the tail tale right there. If you're getting beat
Speaker 1: man on man bone on ball, it's time to make
Speaker 1: an adjustment. What the tail tale was my man Bosa
Speaker 1: coming out and saying, we see these dudes get beat
Speaker 1: we were gonna come out and do the same. Nobody
Speaker 1: fear needs dude like, yeah, they're a great offensive line.
Speaker 1: We have to figure out a way to make sure
Speaker 1: that we that we create a little confusion fun. He's like, Nah,
Speaker 1: the dude gotta beat We're gonna come my hair wrost.
Speaker 1: You know what will help you know that situation now
Speaker 1: is if you let that offensive line get some exert
Speaker 1: some will out there, exert some aggressions. Don't don't let
Speaker 1: them sit there and catch the entire time. If you
Speaker 1: see that you're left tackle, your left guard, sometimes your
Speaker 1: right tackle is struggling because they're catching the entire game.
Speaker 1: Let them exert somewhere, let them put some punishment out there.
Speaker 1: Run the football. But as we see, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: do that, and we're not willing to do that. But
Speaker 1: you're also you're not physical. You know you're not physical.
Speaker 1: You got bullied. It was the first the first drive.
Speaker 1: You talked about they getting bullet and that was defensively
Speaker 1: and then on the offense then they got the ball.
Speaker 1: You know, so your defense got bully the first drive
Speaker 1: and get the offensive ball that three and out. They
Speaker 1: got bullied with the defense. They got bullied, And I'm
Speaker 1: just sitting there and I'm like, this is this is
Speaker 1: that Shanahan offense of like you have no idea like
Speaker 1: where it's coming from, what Formacon is gonna come out of,
Speaker 1: Where Devot gonna line up in the backfield? Where your
Speaker 1: eyes got to be it? And I think as good
Speaker 1: as the linebackers played, they were out of position a
Speaker 1: few times where it was like, yeah, you're watching the game,
Speaker 1: You're like, but if I was out there, I'll be
Speaker 1: like that wound probably confused me too. But if you
Speaker 1: look at it, you know, the bigger loss I think
Speaker 1: was the keyan O'Neil not being with not being active,
Speaker 1: and well, I know he hasn't been, you know, the
Speaker 1: the greatest linebacker this entire season, but this is a
Speaker 1: guy that he played with Shanahan on that Atlanta Falcon State,
Speaker 1: so he would know, you know, with how they're going
Speaker 1: to try to attack you, where you should have your eyes,
Speaker 1: where you should key at, and he could help, you know,
Speaker 1: Parsons and LV playing a little bit faster, because that's hard,
Speaker 1: especially for a young rookie like Parsons to be able
Speaker 1: to diagnose these plays when you got pulling guards, misdirection,
Speaker 1: you got ghost sweeps coming at you. That's a hard
Speaker 1: thing to do. And for both guys that don't understand
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be tough. So right now, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: at the twenty fourth pick in the draft, we the
Speaker 1: three of us have not dived into it heavily, not
Speaker 1: dived into it heavily. But if you had a choice
Speaker 1: right now, like a preference at twenty four, where would
Speaker 1: you go for your football team? Tackle the same thing
Speaker 1: I'm on last year? Like you at this point, you
Speaker 1: have a guy who you're almost sure it's not going
Speaker 1: to be able to play the entire season. Like you
Speaker 1: have a guy there that that that needs to be
Speaker 1: replaced at this point over the last few seasons, he's
Speaker 1: missed a lot of games. Get ready to get you
Speaker 1: a guy if you if you can that late because
Speaker 1: I know this draft right now that doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks in there. So you're gonna start seeing
Speaker 1: some old line and a d line and start going
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this draft. But if you have
Speaker 1: the opportunity, man, it's time to shore up the offensive line.
Speaker 1: And I would start with the tackle. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: right now, And that's got to be one of the
Speaker 1: high priorities. You know this offensive line, and you got
Speaker 1: to also see what you're able to bring back defensively
Speaker 1: because a lot of those guys are gonna be on
Speaker 1: one year deals. But to me, you know, the number
Speaker 1: one priority as we've seen in this game, this officive
Speaker 1: line has to be addressed. So and this is not
Speaker 1: diving into anything heavy right now, Okay, gotta have it.
Speaker 1: But I'm just just off the top of my head
Speaker 1: knowing how these things normally go. You're talking about that
Speaker 1: offensive tackle at twenty four, I'm going to imagine and
Speaker 1: even just based off last year, your top two offensive
Speaker 1: tackles gonna be gone. It's not a heavy offensive tackle
Speaker 1: draft like when we was tripped and worst. You know,
Speaker 1: all those guys. So do you take tackle number three
Speaker 1: or four at twenty four or do you take possibly
Speaker 1: the number one rated center or number one rated guard
Speaker 1: If you're sitting, I think you take the highest rated
Speaker 1: officive linement of your need. Right, So if it's a guard, center, tackle,
Speaker 1: whoever it is, at twenty four, what what I would
Speaker 1: like to see is us get another staple left tackle
Speaker 1: because we know how important that position is. You see,
Speaker 1: like the Trent Williams effect is a real thing, and
Speaker 1: and and so you know, tiring top ten guy, Trent
Speaker 1: top ten guy so and I guess what you don't.
Speaker 1: And this I kind of think about like the Taco Charleston.
Speaker 1: You had a need and so you just well, okay,
Speaker 1: he's defensive number five. We need one. And that's what
Speaker 1: you did. Is that what you're willing to do? Or
Speaker 1: do you say, hey, give me that number one center
Speaker 1: in the game, give me that guy who won the
Speaker 1: Ramanton Awards. That that's that's kind of I think you
Speaker 1: gotta go number one overall, Like whoever's lover is the
Speaker 1: top of this guard, you know, tackle center, whoever is there.
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go with the number one choice.
Speaker 1: You can't just you know, stape with yourself one. We
Speaker 1: gotta get a left tackle we got because then I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what happened by the third or
Speaker 1: fourth tackle or lead? Is he gonna be that legit?
Speaker 1: Is he really a first rounder at that point? So
Speaker 1: you gotta put all that in perspective. But I think
Speaker 1: you definitely gotta go whoever's the best available offensive linen
Speaker 1: on that one. Oh yeah, okay, So there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff there. You want to talk about the
Speaker 1: final play? Oh? Absolutely, because I listen the crazy part
Speaker 1: about that play is. I was on my way home.
Speaker 1: I ain't giving up Church. I think Church six is
Speaker 1: like worst play call every I'm like on the way
Speaker 1: home and I'm like, wait, wait, wait what did I miss?
Speaker 1: So I have to go back and rewatch it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh God, that is that what it was? Okay, so
Speaker 1: we do the quarterback draw. You know, everybody has already
Speaker 1: said we don't have enough time to get this thing done.
Speaker 1: Maybe if Dak slides a little earlier. But then to
Speaker 1: hear that everybody is blamed, even the loss on a
Speaker 1: pretty much it's still a hell married shot from thirty
Speaker 1: yards out where you're running five vertical, so you're not
Speaker 1: automatically going to win the game. But don't blame the
Speaker 1: referee because you didn't give them the ball. Bro It
Speaker 1: just that whole situation was banned. Like I said, there's
Speaker 1: a culmination of our clock banagement and Mike McCarthy's ability
Speaker 1: to make sure that these things are done the correct
Speaker 1: way to know to me all that, you know it
Speaker 1: didn't matter. You shouldn't have blamed the ref and that
Speaker 1: whole last drift didn't matter because they had an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I think it was what two minutes and two forty
Speaker 1: two left in the game, three time mouts. You got
Speaker 1: the rock, You got an opportunity to go ahead, and
Speaker 1: you could do whatever you want, run the ball, passed
Speaker 1: the ball, quarterback, draw, whatever you want to do to
Speaker 1: get into the end zone. You had the opportunity there
Speaker 1: to do it, and you squandered it away. So I mean,
Speaker 1: all that that remaining last fourteen seconds, Oh why didn't
Speaker 1: the reff Nah, they had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: You squandered it. I was in the press conference, and
Speaker 1: I would tell you it was very frustrating for me
Speaker 1: as a media member because so many of the media
Speaker 1: people kept asking about the final play, and I'm just
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, Okay, yeah, final play was. This wasn't good.
Speaker 1: But let's not act like the fifty nine minutes before.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. You were out here, you know, not
Speaker 1: ready to play. That's what Carthy said. Jittery your fourteen
Speaker 1: penalties to me all along the way, you got bullied
Speaker 1: in the trenches. I mean, you just didn't do your job.
Speaker 1: And to put it all as though, hey man, you
Speaker 1: know you spotted him the ball. They were about to
Speaker 1: win that thing. No, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, right,
Speaker 1: that's what That's what I didn't like. And I heard
Speaker 1: somebody's like, man, I didn't like the way they talked
Speaker 1: about the reff talked about the rest. I said, well,
Speaker 1: in fairness to them, you kept getting asked about it,
Speaker 1: you kept that was I mean, nobody wanted to left,
Speaker 1: and I think Mike tried to. You know how you
Speaker 1: start off trying not to really go heavily there, but
Speaker 1: then the more you get asked, the more you start
Speaker 1: to tell it. And then he just went in there. Uh,
Speaker 1: and that's where you, in my opinion, you could see
Speaker 1: they were taking their cues from the top where you're
Speaker 1: trying to blame everyone else and you're not really looking
Speaker 1: at yourself. And when you hear come out of that,
Speaker 1: hearing what you hear, you say, do you guys understand
Speaker 1: why you lost? Because it doesn't sound like you understand
Speaker 1: why you lost. Sound like you just trying to say
Speaker 1: if this, if this dude would it just you know,
Speaker 1: this dude would have shot bull drive and we we
Speaker 1: don't want to get no any dude thought they was
Speaker 1: a practice to spot the ball. Yeah, we got we
Speaker 1: got right here. Let me snap what oh if that's
Speaker 1: the case. You should have want to had ran up
Speaker 1: to the twenty. Let me get to practice spot the ball.
Speaker 1: It cain't do it. Now that it was crazy, but
Speaker 1: shout out because this would be one of the last
Speaker 1: few times we get to talk about the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one defense. Okay, like you said, gave them the ball
Speaker 1: back with two minutes thirty, then you stop them on
Speaker 1: third down, makeup to get the ball back again to
Speaker 1: put you in that situation. So I'm going to continue
Speaker 1: to say it ain't no defensive let down. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: gave up some stuff in the trenches, but we found
Speaker 1: out a way to get the ball back to our offense.
Speaker 1: And office did not help us. Went to put it
Speaker 1: down as did you know to Diggs man the bubble moves,
Speaker 1: We said that, We said, you get that if Jimmy Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's the thumb. Okay, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: Jimmy a pass. But they they beating Trayvon Diggs and
Speaker 1: he he overthrew the receiver, overthrew the receiver and then
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys got the ball back. But you know,
Speaker 1: Jimmy couldn't finish them off. They thro the coach. The
Speaker 1: coach called the right play. The coach dialed up the play,
Speaker 1: receivers open, quarterback couldn't get it there, which is why
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're gonna go much further because sorry,
Speaker 1: your quarterback is it gets it gets tougher. Yeah. So anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: terrible loss. Um, Mike McCarthy gets a C for me,
Speaker 1: C plus because you didn't do what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: And for all all the criticism I gave Jason Garrett,
Speaker 1: I give it more to Mike McCarthy because I thought
Speaker 1: you were the chosen one. I thought you were the answer.
Speaker 1: You didn't do it. It's disappointing. I'm with Church now,
Speaker 1: well you got see what C I can't have. You
Speaker 1: got a straight up seat now, ain't no plus nothing. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let's just give the sea Danny Mccraigberry Church and respects.
Speaker 1: We're done. Mick. SHOT's coming your way by to the
