So Hey, maybe he's distracted building the team. 10 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: That's but that's the nerd. But dan Quinn's not gonna 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: get distracted. But got an interview Friday, right, But but 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: he'll be ready to go. And this is pretty interesting 13 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: because you're you're looking at two coordinators who should not 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: they should not be with their current team sext year. 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I just look at what Demiko is done 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: and what dan Quinn has done, and I just marvel 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: and I just say to myself, this is what you 18 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: should be looking for and head coach is here. That's 19 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: just my opinion. You think, Jane Oh, I I one 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent agree. I will be interested to see what 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: dan Quinn ultimately does, though I know he's so loved 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: around this facility. We've talked about it un prompted. These 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: guys talk so much about the culture that he's developed. 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean, even Dak Prescott told us it was a 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, how this is the first year, 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: and even today when you touched on it, what's different 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: about this team. One was the maturity, but it was 28 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: also the brotherhood, and that for me comes right from 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: dan Quinn. But he said, this is the first year 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: I've talked so much with the defensive coordinator or you know, 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: the defensive line coach, and so I do think that. 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: And then particularly when you look at the way they 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: played against Tom Brady in that playoff game on the road, 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm just curious to see if if Jerry's going to 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: back up the bus and pay Dan whatever it takes 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: to get him to stay here, because as it's been 37 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: described to me, he really likes being here. I mean, 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: sometimes there's a lot that comes with being a head coach, right, 39 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot that comes with because people 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: will often ask me, where do you see yourself next? 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: Is it okay just to sometimes say I'm good with 42 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: where I'm at, and so I just wonder if that's 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: where dan is at, given some of the struggles he 44 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: had with against Seattle and then Atlanta, maybe he likes 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: it here. And that was an excellent point, Jan because 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: I touched him that in conversations that Louie and I 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: we've had just on this panel, in context of saying, 48 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: I wonder and I know that he was a front 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: runner and for the most part you could say that 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: the Bronchos job was his until it wasn't. But then 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: going through that process kind of goes to my point 52 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: as well. Is it arguably too soon from a dan 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: quinstandpoint to say, okay, coming out of what I did, 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: what I went through in Atlanta, how things ultimately ended 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: in Seattle. And then you put it in the context 56 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: of I got Michael Parsons here, I got Trevon Diggs. 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Assuming the Cowboys can keep this group of talent together defensively, 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: I've turned this team into one of the best defensive 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: units in the league, and I have generational talent, arguably 60 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: at more than one position. How hard has that to 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: walk away from, especially when the owner of the franchise 62 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: has a blank chick. This is the most excited I've 63 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: seen Newie because to leave he just believes it in 64 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the soul. Mister Michel, Yeah, I just think that these 65 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: jobs only come up and so often, and there is 66 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: no guarantee that you'll leaving get another head coaching opportunity 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: after the season. We all are around Dan, we think that, yeah, 68 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: he'll have plenty of opportunities next year or the year 69 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: after whatever. But you just never really know. And if 70 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: there is a job that you really like and that 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: comes available, you know there's gonna be good money as 72 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: being a head coach too. So I don't think I 73 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: just don't think that the money thing is important is 74 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: if he finds a good fit with another team and 75 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: he feels that he can win with them. Let's say Denver, 76 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: that's obviously the one that's urn around the most. If 77 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: he feels like, hey, I saw what Russell Wilson did 78 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: this year, and I know if I get the right 79 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: guy with him, I've seen good Russell. I know what 80 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: I can do. I can turn that team around. I 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: want to be the head coach of that team. Jerry 82 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: coming that an open pocketbook and going to make the difference. 83 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it just the thing is. And I agree 84 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: with Jane because I get that A lot from friends too, 85 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: would be like, so what do you want to do next? 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want to cover the Cowboys, like 87 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't really want to do it. But and I 88 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: do agree that, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of people 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: that are like that. I mean, I'm a huge Floorida 90 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: State football fan, and during most of the time that 91 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: Bobby Bowden, it can be a lot worse. Um, Bobby 92 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Bowden's like most of their time there, Mickey Andrews was 93 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator and he never went to another place 94 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: to be it. I mean, he was fine with being 95 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: too DC and some yeah, some people. I just don't 96 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: think that Dan. I think Dan wants another opportunity to 97 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: be head coach. What is the best spot for him? Though? 98 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 1: When we talk about I mean, does Denver make sense? 99 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know Arizona makes sense, Does Carol 100 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: Lineup makes sense? I don't know. If some of these 101 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: jobs are Texans for instance, I just don't know. Some 102 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: of these jobs are provocative. I mean I feel like 103 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: if Seattle opened up, who's not to say he wouldn't 104 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: go somewhere like Seattle again. But I don't know a 105 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Seattle or in You know, the Saints are not moving 106 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: on from Dennis Island, I don't think, so that's not 107 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: a thing. But if that in the same air of 108 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: what you're saying a Seattle or New Orleans maybe next year, 109 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: if things don't go well for Dennis Island this year, 110 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: but Brandon Staley, if he's not given the X about 111 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: the Spandos family this offseason, if things don't go well 112 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: again for the Chargers next season, chargers have justin Herbert 113 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: you so to your point, you don't know what the 114 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: next opportunity is going to be. But if you roll 115 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: the dice, the Chargers would be more provocative it would 116 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: be than the it would be. But we also got 117 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: to look at the way the NFL does business, and 118 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: you think that, Okay, if I wait out another year 119 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: that that Chargers shop comes open, how do you know 120 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: that he doesn't get passed over, even though he might 121 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: be the best candidate, Because whoever the last decision maker 122 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: is like, no, I want this new hot shot offensive 123 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: coordinator from blah blah blah team, And you're just like Denver, 124 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: like Denver. Oh, we want to hack it because you 125 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: know what, we also think that he can bring Aaron 126 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: Rodgers with him because they're friends. That's what I'm saying. 127 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: It just it's hard for you to pass up and 128 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: wait like no, no, no, in two or three years, 129 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: like you just don't know. And then the other part 130 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: is that you could have the twenty twenty season where 131 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: everyone gets hurt and everything like that, and then you're 132 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: just like fair and if he does, if that situation 133 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: where to rise and he was a finalist for hypothetically speaking, 134 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: the charges position and he got passed over, Oh heavens 135 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: be his consolation prize is a huge check in generational 136 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: talent being coached. It about a Cowboys Dan Swann has 137 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: unfinished business, guys. Yeah, he's as a head coach. This 138 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: man was minutes away from winning a super Bowl against 139 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: arguably the greatest head coach and quarterback in history, and 140 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: he didn't get it done. He's got unfinished business. There's 141 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: work to do. Now. What I believe Dan Quinn has 142 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: been doing is saying, Okay, I'm gonna go here, I'm 143 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: gonna be where my feet are. He talks about that, 144 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: and when there's an opportunity that fits me, I will 145 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: go get it. He pulled out of some jobs last year, 146 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: told Jacksonville, don't even bother because my boy, Gus Bradley 147 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: already told me. So. I'm good. He's going to go 148 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: back here. He's going back to the burning building and 149 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: he's going to go in there and finish the job. 150 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: While he loves Jerry Jones and he loves what he's 151 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: been able to do here, this guy's got that and 152 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: he's as much as we all talk to him and 153 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: we or those pressures with him, you know that's there 154 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: and you just don't know that. Like we sit here 155 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: and look at the situation in Denver and go, man, 156 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: that looks rough like the Russell Wilson situation all that, 157 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: but you don't know that. He doesn't look at that. 158 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I know exactly. I would view this 159 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: this and this and that will change and this will 160 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: change and this will be this. They're not. They're not, 161 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: but you also will. You're also going into a situation too, 162 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: where the expectations will not be year one that you 163 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: have to, you know, necessarily have these these big success 164 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: and that and that he could have time to build it. 165 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: The way that he wants to let me jump back 166 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: on what you said there the viewpoint, the dan Quinn 167 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: goes into the viewpoint. Okay, I know Russell, I know 168 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: the good the bad room. I know Russ. Not that 169 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: he said it at all, But I had a conversation 170 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: with Brian Schottenheimer at Tampa then I said, you know, 171 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I think you got something for next year. He's got, 172 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, kind of get that look them. Yeah, who 173 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: also knows Russell, Wilson, Bryan shot And while Russell wanted 174 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: to cook and Shotty was doing what he's doing. He 175 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: he looked a lot better with Shoddy than he did 176 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: with Nathaniel Hackett. Um does dan Quinn take Shotty with him? Well, 177 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: he would take multiple coaches with him. But I'm just 178 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: saying from that standpoint of yeah, all right, that's why 179 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: I wonder if Jerry lets him go, we're going I 180 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: don't think honestly, that's my biggest disagreement with everything you 181 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: guys are saying is that I don't think it's a 182 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: Jerry thing at all. I don't think he'll have any 183 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: saying it. It's is, does this man wanted to be 184 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: a head coach and if he does, then he'll take it. 185 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: And there's not a but he could have done it 186 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: last year before Russell had all of his struggles, right, 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: But I mean they did, to be fair, they didn't 188 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: know the quarterback was going to view it at that point? 189 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: Did they? Did they knew who the quarterback was going 190 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: to be. Not when they were interviewing. I didn't think so, 191 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: because that's when they still thought Rogers was Now. Of 192 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: course there was, as you know, as well as I know, 193 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: as John knows as and who he knows. I'm sure 194 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: there were conversations already behind the scenes on well we 195 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: might be able to put this package together. For remember, 196 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: Russell was sort of the after they didn't get Aaron Rodman. 197 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: That one kind of came out of nowhere to a 198 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: lot of people because they thought I just would follow. 199 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: He didn't feel like it was appealing, Then why is 200 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: it more appealing now? It's my only argument because you 201 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: look at the owners you got. You got some folks 202 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: who got money in their pocket. We just said that 203 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: money shouldn't be but it's also a lot of owners 204 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: what I'm talking a lot, But we just said that 205 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: money shouldn't be afector and if it's not a factor here, 206 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: Why would it be effect coach? I mean, at the 207 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: end of the day, you're getting all the credit. I mean, 208 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: guys care about that and also get all the criticism. 209 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: If if dan Quinn were to go to Denver, for example, 210 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: hypothetically speaking, and can't write the ship, and you're saying, well, 211 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be expected to flip that. It's like Peterson 212 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: did in Jacksonville. Can't realistically expect that to happen. If 213 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: it happens, great if you're that organization. If not, let's 214 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: say the first one in two years or just struggle 215 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: for dan Quinn from a head coaching legacy standpoint, the 216 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: narrative then becomes failure in Atlanta first two years, can't 217 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: get it done in Denver? Is this is this the 218 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: dan Quinn But I'm gonna tell this right now, careful, okay. 219 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: So if that happens, you know he'll wind up with 220 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: the exact job he has right now. There will be 221 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: some team that will be like that. He'll he'll have 222 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: a chance to pick from because his defensive coordinator stock 223 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: will still be at an all time high, and he'll 224 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: get a chance to go with it. He'll get his 225 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: chance to pick a situation a cowboy here and see 226 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: if this job, because then you have to worry about 227 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: what front office are you walking into? What's the scouting 228 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: department looked like? Wise? GM, are we going? Am I 229 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: going to be in a situation DC wise where they 230 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: know how to scout? You know something in draft talent 231 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: that's going to be able to build what I was 232 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: able to build with the Dallas. All of this is 233 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: a con John. Here's what I will say. When someone's 234 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: this bullish about something, they know something. What do you 235 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: know doing? I don't know. I think you'll be coached, Dinners, 236 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: I do well. First things, First, you talk about him 237 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: wanting to finish business, he has to finish it against 238 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: the his former offensive coordinator. That costs him that Super 239 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: Bowl against the greatest quarterback. I gotta give Kyle. I 240 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: gotta give Cole Craig. He Kyle blew that and then 241 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: bolted for Sam and Blue Blue super Bowl and then 242 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: Blue Super Bowls. Guy, man, this is all yours, Dan. 243 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm out of here. So the game notes, which we 244 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: all get, and you know I read it, and I 245 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: just said, how about this. Do you know the last 246 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: time the Cowboys won a divisional road playoff game would 247 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: have to be at least thirty years ago. Yeah, because 248 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: that was the last time to run a divisional wild card, 249 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: I mean a wild card rule gyah yeah, And let's 250 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: go longer. How about January fourth, nineteen eighty one at 251 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Danny White, Drew Pearson put on 252 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: his show in the second half, and they beat Steve Barkowski, 253 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: William Andrews and Lyn Kaine and the Atlanta Falcons and 254 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Lehman and minute the head coach twenty seven. I remember it. 255 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: I was sitting in my room one oh five the 256 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Hardy Drive on the military base in Fort Army Airfield 257 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: and uh in Savannah, Georgia, and went to school and 258 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: tossed my home cash straight my hometown. Well as much 259 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: as Mike McCarthy put all the baby photos up at 260 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: the ten guys at the time before there were twelve 261 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: by kick that had even been alive. Not one of 262 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: those guys on that team was alive in nineteen eighty one. No, No, 263 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: so that's it. I mean, just look they're breaking round. 264 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: I mean they hadn't Tom Brady hadn't lost a game 265 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: to them. They hadn't won a game on the road 266 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: as a wild card team. DAK had fifteen interceptions and 267 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: had zero at this game, So I do believe you 268 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: sort of do throw the records out the window. I 269 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: thought the win against Tampa Bay was particularly impressive because 270 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: we hadn't seen them put together a game quite like 271 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: that where we saw the defense and often step up. Now, 272 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: what's I think frustrating about this team sometimes is they 273 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: can't get all three phases of the game to have 274 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: the perfect I mean, have they really had a perfect 275 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: game this year? I mean Minnesota, I mean Minnesota was 276 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: the closest. The thing I liked the most about the 277 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay game is there were there were several plays, 278 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: but one that will stand out to me will always 279 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: be the Dak keeper on fourth and one on the 280 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: goal line. And the reason I say that is because 281 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: I foolishly believe that there was going to be more 282 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: of that last year against San Francisco, that there was 283 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: saving of plays things that we didn't see. And so 284 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: to see that in that tamp Bay game, and there 285 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: were other plays too, you know, to see that they 286 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: had they certainly had saved things. You know, when we 287 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: were talking to dak walking on. That's why I asked 288 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: him about that, like, how come you know you guys 289 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: would run there. He's like, oh no, there's there's plenty 290 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: of stuff that we haven't run. You know. I've talked 291 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: to people and there aren't plenty. And I was told, 292 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm just glad you got to see it though, when 293 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: we call it, you'll know. So they have been saving stuff, 294 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: nothing like the Statue of Liberty, because I've asked multiple well, 295 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: do we got something tricky like that? But I think 296 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: that that game more importantly gave not that. I felt 297 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: like Dak ever lacks confidence. And even he said, Clarence goes, 298 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: you know, was that the monkey off your back? He goes, 299 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: you guys keep putting the monkey on our back. There's 300 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: no monkey on our back. But I do believe privately, 301 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: all of us, when it just feels like the hits 302 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: keep coming, you sort of need that sort of win 303 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: for yourself, right. It's it's authority, right, and this is 304 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: a potential road of redemption for the Cowboys because you 305 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: go in and all all last week they heard Brady holds, 306 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: that's that's what that's the Teas into the next segment, 307 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: they talked from the time we were all in training 308 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: camp about how they were carrying that San Francisco laws. 309 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: We've heard from the quarterback our second day of the 310 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: open locker room. How do we feel about this challenge 311 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys or Redemption Tour.

I'm 357 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: knew he scrugs, so forty nine Ers favorites in this one. 358 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: The Cowboys took on the forty nine Ers last year 359 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: at at and T Stadium. They got beat. The Cowboys 360 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: a training camp when we were all there openly spoke 361 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: about that loss and how it was caring and fueling them. 362 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: So here you are the ability to make up for 363 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: last year's defeat. Several players talked about in the locker room. 364 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: Start with you, John. Micah Parsons by far the most candid. 365 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: He made it very clear that they wanted the forty 366 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: nine ers. He wanted the forty nine ers, and that 367 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna have to go through them sometime, 368 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: so why not now. But I just the quotes that 369 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: Micah had, I could see San Francisco using them as 370 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: bolton board material type things. Nothing too crazy, but he 371 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: was saying things more with his chest than I felt 372 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: like any Cowboys did last week. And I just feel 373 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys are at their bust when they kind 374 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: of ride under the radar, you know. There was really 375 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: like I can't even think of the most notable quote 376 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: last week. There was like nothing. They were very careful 377 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: about anything about Brady or anything like that, and they 378 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: just the way they came out in that game. It 379 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: was like, we'll let the play, dude, the talking and 380 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But Michael made it very clear that 381 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: he's looking forward to this matchup, that yeah, they have 382 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: not seen anything like this forty Niners office, but made 383 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: it clear that yes, the forty nine ers have also 384 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: not seen anything like our defense. And when he said 385 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: that It just reminded me of Tank kind of saying 386 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: before the Eagles game that you know, yeah, Jalen Hurts 387 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: has done all this, but they haven't seen us. And 388 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: so if you can back it up on Sunday, man, 389 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: it just it makes for a great story. But if 390 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: you don't, then you come back to some of these 391 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: quotes the next week. I'm fine with it from the 392 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: aspect of I think Michael walked the line very well 393 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: between being an obvious competitor and trying not to give 394 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: unnecessary bullets and poor material. Because you mentioned Tank versus 395 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles, absolutely valid, but Tank versus the New York 396 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: Giants in the first matchup, he called Daniel Jones little 397 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: Eli and that just took off. It went viral, all 398 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: the disrespect and what did he do. He went up 399 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: there and he absolutely put hands on Daniel Jones. I 400 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: just think those Niners team can actually back it up. 401 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: But this is what Micah said, number one, even if 402 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: he had crossed the line in the bullet the board material, 403 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers know what's on the line, just 404 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys know what's on the line. They weren't 405 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: going to there were there's no other gear to be found. 406 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 1: I don't believe in the forty nine ers as far 407 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: as mentally coming into this game. All the pressure is 408 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: on the forty nine ers. Most of the free world 409 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: expects the Cowboys to lay an egg. Oh, it's expected 410 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: They're not going to make a playoff run. They're gonna 411 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: walk in. The forty nine ers look unbeatable, eleven game 412 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: win Street, etc. Etc. Etc. And now if you're the Cowboys, 413 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: the role has flipped. The script is flipped. Last year 414 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: in January, it was at at and T Stadium. Cowboys 415 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: had the better record. Forty nine Ers shouldn't have been 416 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Forty nine Ers came out playing loose. Well, 417 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: now all the pressures only forty nine ers. It's in 418 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: Santa Clara. You are thirteen and four, it's you're eleven 419 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: game win Street. Are you really going to allow the 420 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys to come in here and take this from you? 421 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys get the play loose, in my opinion, and that 422 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: works in their favorite And I honestly don't think Mica 423 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: has anything controversial. I mean, he gave plenty of flowers 424 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: to guys like Nick Bosa and um Trent Williams and 425 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: guys along those lines, So I think all he was 426 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: doing was just basically I mean, he talked about studying Ali, 427 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: and he also said when expectations are low, you can 428 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: only go up. But that they they loved the bulletin 429 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: board material, they loved getting counted out, counted against, and 430 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: even though they were what three point favorites last week, 431 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: most people expected them to lose that game against an 432 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: eight and eight Tom Brady team, and I think that 433 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with their success. I've said 434 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: this to a couple of people before the game. I said, 435 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: I think they're going to pull this one off. And 436 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: I think because Dak has historically done really, really well 437 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: when people have bet against him, that's that's true. Did 438 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: he tell you what Ali he studied? When he was 439 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: saying anything in particular, he said it was one specific documentary, 440 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure which one was. When we 441 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: were boxing, he go twelve rounds is what he said. 442 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: When we were kings A. Yeah, that's a pretty good one. 443 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: I could see him heating down there. Watch he was saying. 444 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: He was alluding what an Oscar. Yeah, he was like, 445 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: we hear everyone saying we can't beat them, and we 446 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: can't do this and you're not as strong as them, 447 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: and you can't you know, your chin is whatnot with 448 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: their chin is and that, And I could see him 449 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: watching that and then saying this because the whole thing 450 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: it was Ali in the rumble against the Jungle. He's 451 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: taking on George Foreman, who at the time was the 452 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: baddest man at the plan. You think of Mike Tyson, 453 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: Well this was George Foreman. Was Mike Tyson before then, 454 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: where except he was bigger. Mike's like five eleven. George 455 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: was over six feet tomsas he was boom, just knocking 456 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: people out. And uh so you watched that documentary and 457 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: you just see how Ali psyched himself up for this 458 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: one and um and I could see Parsons taking some 459 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: of that and just bringing that out to the press 460 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: conference about you know, how he wanted to go about 461 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: getting after he talked about putting on a show too, 462 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: talk about Nick entertainment. Entertainment that was Ali. Ali was 463 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: entertaining as well. So I just wonder where he comes 464 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: up with all of this stuff, Like every time he 465 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: walks away, it's like some reporter and the scrum and 466 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: at some points it's in me other points. It's other people. 467 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: It's God. That was great stuff. I just where does 468 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: he come up with his talking points ahead of these games. 469 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: It's fascinates me. He was right, yeah, because I thought 470 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: I didn't remember, and it was like it was the 471 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: When We Were Kings documentary. Yeah. Yeah, he's one of 472 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: the best quotes I've ever recovered. For sure, It's not 473 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: even close. He always has something very He's going to 474 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: be a great TV analyst. And I love what Jane 475 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: pointed out if you go back and you actually watch 476 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: the video once it hits the dot com. He gave 477 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: a ton of roses to Nick Bosa. He gave a 478 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: ton of roses to Trent Williams. Hell, he said, Trent 479 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: Williams is one of the best, and he said, that's 480 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: who I want. I want the best. That you have 481 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: to be the best against me, because I feel like 482 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: I want to be the best and I want to 483 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: test myself against that. So contextually speaking, he gave the 484 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: forty nine ers a ton of roses. But it's like 485 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: that thing takes on a life of its own sometimes true. 486 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: He stopped short of all of that praise being given 487 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers from allowing that to be 488 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: viewed as, oh, we're scared. He's likedated. They have to 489 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: stop us too. They have to stop our offense. Their 490 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: offense has to go against our defense. And he's not wrong, 491 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: He's completely right. Their passing defense lends itself to an opportunity. 492 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: So the last time the forty nine Ers loss was 493 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: Week seven against Kansas City, no shame in that. But 494 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: look who else they've played should go down? The Rams, 495 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: the Chargers, Arizona, New Orleans, Miami, Tampa, Seattle, Washington, Las Vegas, Arizona. 496 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: So what are you saying, Jane, as EPMD one said, 497 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: So what you're saying, I'm just saying. I mean everyone 498 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: just like what they did with the Cowboys and the 499 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: Bucks matchup, I'm like, look, there are weaknesses that you 500 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: can expose, and I think what I needed to see 501 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: from this Cowboys team. I needed to see this team 502 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: step up and respond after such a tough loss on 503 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: the road to Washington. That was an ugly That locker 504 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: room was ugly. It felt deflating. But to see them 505 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: come out the way that they did, particularly after they 506 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: started with two, three and ounce, I thought said a 507 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: lot about this team. Okay, here's the defensive ranks and 508 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: points per game for the teams that Purdy has played. 509 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: The Dolphins twenty fourth and points allow, Buccaneers thirteenth. That's respectable, Seahawks, 510 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: you played them twice, not counting the wild card twenty 511 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: fifth overall, Raiders twenty sixth overall, Cardinals thirty first overall, 512 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: Commanders seventh overall the only they only played one Top 513 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: ten defense and points allow Cowboys are number five. Cowboys. 514 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: When it comes to expected points added, which is a 515 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: metric measured on offensive versus defense. On the play by 516 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: play basis, Cowboys ranked number two, behind only not the 517 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, the Philadelphia Eagles. Purdy is going to 518 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: be up against it with this personnel and with dan 519 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: Quinn going against a first year quarterback. So to James point, 520 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: there are some weaknesses that can be exposed against the 521 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and this defensive unit is the team 522 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: to do it. And everybody wanted to keep comparing Dak 523 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: and Purdy's rookie season and that confidence heading into the postseason. 524 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: And remember Dak had a lot of confidence heading into that. 525 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us thought this was team 526 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: that was going all the way right, they run stoppable, 527 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: and they got stopped. Dack was good against the pack. 528 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: Eventually a rookie quarterback would show up, and it's most 529 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: likely going to show up in the playoffs where you're 530 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: going against better defense, is better minded Zack, smarter defensive coordinators. 531 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: And then if you flip it on the opposite side, yes, 532 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense hands down elite period, it's inarguable, 533 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: but even that defense has holes. They like to run. 534 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: Demico likes to run his own coverage and when he blitz, 535 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: he likes to do his own blitz. Prescott statistically the 536 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: best in the league against his own coverage. He can 537 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: eat against that defense. I'm a big Vegas spread guy, 538 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: and I don't look at the any I don't look 539 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: I guess I just don't look at it the same 540 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: way that you are. With everyone thinking that the Cowboys 541 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: are a massive underdog. When that the line came out 542 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: that was only four, I felt like that that looked 543 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: like okay, I think no, no, no, okay, because I 544 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: was gonna say I don't And the eleven game win streak, 545 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: eleven game win streak, the way the Cowboys played in Washington, 546 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: there's only one game in between. You would typically think 547 00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: if they were going on the road to do that, 548 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: that line would be like seven eight points. It's only 549 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: four because it's clearly when the Cowboys play at their best, 550 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: they are a great matchup for being a team that 551 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: can beat this forty niners team. There's there's no question 552 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: at all that they can do that, and they will 553 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: be the best defense that Brock Purdy has gone against. 554 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: But they just they have a lot of weapons over 555 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: there that can cause problems, you know, especially if you 556 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: don't tackle well. But that's why you need Dak to 557 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: score and score often. That's it. That is it. Forty 558 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: nine ers live and die off of yak. If you 559 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: can minimize their yak, then Purdy is in big trouble. Yea. 560 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: You look at the seventy four yard touchdown that Debo 561 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Samuel scored against Seattle Seahawks, and that was that was 562 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: a three yard pass out to the flat. Yeah, that 563 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: Debo took seventy one more yard. It's like that. That's 564 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: how they thrive, That's how Shanahan protects his rookie quarterback 565 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: from making mistakes. How did Debot do against the Cowboys 566 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: last year? So yeah, it was It wasn't a running 567 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: I thought was an interesting point. Also, that was it 568 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: dak or I think it was Dac that brought this up. 569 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: This team is more mature this year, this team because 570 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: of the continuity of the coaching staff and a lot 571 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: of the personnel they've They've got a better look on 572 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: this team than they had heading into last year. And 573 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: I think that's an important distinction. They sort of know 574 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: what they're getting into this time around. I agree. I mean, 575 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: and the penalties he keeps talking about how they're not 576 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: the penalties hurt them. How many was it fifteen for 577 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: sixty three something? It was real and they got a 578 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: favorable crew in this one. Vil Vinovich caused the cause 579 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: the least amount of fifteen You're coming off to there. 580 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: So look, these are these are as. I don't think 581 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: it's impossible. As well as my boss. It's definitely not. 582 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no. This is gonna 583 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: be I'm telling you this game is going to be 584 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: very similar to that when they played the forty nine ers. 585 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: It's going to come down to that the last couple 586 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: of series. In this game. It will not be a 587 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: blowout either way. This is going to be a dog fight, 588 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: which is also why you need your kicker to show 589 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: up to where you're planning the NFC Championship game. At 590 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: the TV station, a boss says to me about San Francisco, 591 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: can they win? And I gain the same answer idea 592 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: at the fiesta, Oh, they can win this. They can't win. 593 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: They can win this. You know this will not be 594 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: a surprise, but they can win this. So they can't 595 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: meet themselves is what the guys keep talking about when 596 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: you guess about Devo though. So it wasn't huge in 597 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: terms of catching the ball three for thirty eight, but 598 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: it was him as a runner. I mean he had 599 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: ten ten carries seventy two yards in a touchdow. I 600 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: mean that was the difference maker averaging. And now they've 601 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: got Christian McCaffrey. Yeah. That one thing I will say 602 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: about the McCaffrey thing that I think is kind of fascinating. 603 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: Is it just the from a like a players standpoint. 604 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: Nothing against the running backs that the Fourgnaires have had 605 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: in the past, but there's just something in a human 606 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: nature that you get up for Christian McCaffrey. Everybody knows 607 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: who he is, everybody knows that, hey, if you're not. 608 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: You don't bring your a game, he will embarrass you. 609 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Some of the running backs they've had in the past 610 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: for the fourgn Aires, I don't know that players going 611 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: to those games necessarily maybe feeling that same way. No 612 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: disrespect to those guys, but they're not Christian McCaffrey. Like, 613 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: I just expect that locker room to be very motivated 614 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: to go against McCaffrey because they everybody hears about him. 615 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: Carolina game with him, was it? Was it two years ago? Yeah, 616 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: two years ago. Let I see you. We'll look at 617 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: that before you get a break. Yeah. But I think 618 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: what also works in the cowboys favor as far as 619 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: going against McCaffrey, And obviously McCaffrey is a one of 620 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: one when he's fully healthy and he's fired on all cylinders, 621 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: But look at the gauntlets of running backs the Cowboys 622 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: have gone against over the second half of the season 623 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: after the Green Bay game, like they're they're no stranger 624 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: as a unit to being tasked with stopping an elite quarterback. 625 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: Oh excuse me, elite running back. So I think that 626 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: works in their favor as well, and of course getting 627 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: having back and back and having Layton back you saw 628 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Layton was just all over the field in Tampa. So 629 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: yeah for that new contract, and I'm not mad at him. 630 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: Go to break what you know. But McCarthy said after 631 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville was like, these games will help us, these games 632 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: will help us. Well, all right, final statement come up 633 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: with Patrick Walker, John Shoulder, Jane Slater and we scribes 634 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: some mediamash on Dat Scoutboys dot com radio.

Matthew McConaughey, Oh yes, um, that was arguably, 720 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: I thought one of his best roles. Look both the 721 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: last time the Cowboys won the Super Bowl was three 722 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: months before Jerry McGuire was released. Yeah, and you start 723 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: to look at all the star players in Jerry McGuire 724 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: in that movie, Kajana Carter, Yeah, Drew bled by the 725 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: way Tom Cruise at that Tampa Bay Bucks game.

Yeah, it was John Day, Whole 729 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: Cogan and Tom Cruise. I missed Tom Cruise literally by 730 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: two seconds getting into his vehicle. I was devastated. You're 731 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: gonna ask him for a picture. Yeah, how Zanna to 732 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: do a blessing on me? It's Tom Cruise about tall 733 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: as Hellman, a little guy still. Tom Cruise is growing 734 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: up the cocktail risky business he was ever in. And 735 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: that was the having covered the Lakers and being in 736 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: the Forum and they did all the celemsit that it 737 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: was totally different when you saw how little these dudes were. 738 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: You really, I mean, just even Schwarzenegger wasn't what I 739 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: thought he'd be. Do you that was tell No, No 740 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: he's not. I mean he's just like I mean, it 741 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: just it knocks down really die Prince like tiny, right, 742 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: He's like Vante Turpin small? Right? Yeah they are? I mean, 743 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: did David Hellman and Vante Turpin deserve these strays? They're 744 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: just mine in their own bass. He'll tell you right now, man, 745 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't watch Hellman show, so everything I see is 746 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: on the Twitter clip. Put just like get him, stun 747 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: one him. You mean like you mean like because he 748 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: does something called like I would oh, like actually do 749 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: some research. That's crazy. How he does that, that's weird, man, 750 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: it's crazy. But he maintains his composure. He is and 751 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: are some pretty big personalities. And I'm always really impressed 752 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,760 Speaker 1: with how David mets when the narrative isn't that off track, 753 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: but then he also gets you back on track on 754 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: that show. Yeah, for sure, No, he does a great job. 755 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: I just we've talked about that the whole thing where 756 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: I'll text him, I'll be like, I don't know how 757 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: you do a man, because I would have lost it 758 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: over that. Like that's not even that thing that was 759 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: being argued. There's not even any background. No one even 760 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: looked into that. They just came up with. Some of 761 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: my respect is as a former player, you know, we 762 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: always talk about even as reporters we cover this game, 763 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: just operate and bounce, be fair, right, And when he 764 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: just came out and said Dak is whatever, I just thought, 765 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if that would even fly at my network. Yeah, 766 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: it probably wouldn't. But there's a lot of that. To me, 767 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: it's just lazy, it is, But there's a lot of 768 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: that going on on TV, and so there's a lot 769 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: of copycat Yeah that work. They're trying real hard. They 770 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: are so behind ESPN, so behind made. Yeah, this is 771 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: what we're doing. The engagement. It's just well to me 772 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: that Dave got hired to be essentially a writer and 773 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 1: now he's on the show every single day talking about 774 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboy. Yeah. So when people tell so when people 775 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: are like, why are we covering the Cowboys so much? 776 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: I always laugh at them. I'm like, anytime the league 777 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: has moved me around to another team, the metrics are 778 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: not there. I mean, it's very easy for us to 779 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: track that on Twitter, Instagram. The engagement. It's through the 780 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 1: roof when the Cowboys where news. That's why when people 781 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: say what's next for you, I'm like, what's next? Is 782 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: just keeping my job. I'm pretty happy where I'm at. 783 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 1: The emails I get, you know, I always its TV's 784 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: I always laugh man stars in first place. I know good. 785 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: I know you know how hockey works. We'll see in 786 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: a play yeah, seeing the playoffs. But and when I 787 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: have written for the morning News, they'll tell you the 788 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: metrics are the numbers for the Cowboys. You know, Cowboy 789 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: draft coverage. It doesn't matter the Rangers are in season, 790 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: Cowboy draft coverage, it's hit four times when they've got 791 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: the twenty six pick. It's amazing. We have thirteen reporters 792 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: for thirty one or thirty two teams, and they will 793 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: literally move a reporter, you know, they'll go cover four 794 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: teams here or whatever. I don't move off the Cowboys, 795 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 1: even when it's like the twenty six pick. I'm here 796 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: for like four days streets. But you also that, and 797 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: you know Jerry trades. It's all a part of me 798 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: in this. And I tell people too, I just know 799 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: how the sausage is made. I remember the year Minnesota 800 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: had the number one pick in the draft in the 801 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: NBA and Karl Anthony Towns is going to go there, 802 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: you know where they had everybody. There was no report 803 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: at Minnesota, they like Steven and everybody here because the 804 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: Nicks had the fourth pick and they ended up taking 805 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: Porzingis and they blew it up in that. I just laughed, 806 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: like they know which teams they want. And when Buck 807 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: Showalter worked at ESPN, he would complain he was like 808 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: knew he and he you know, but they said it 809 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: a total truth. And all we do is cover the 810 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: Yankees and the Dodgers and the fields, and they Paul, Hey, 811 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: they Paul pulled them in the off there. Amen, you're 812 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: saying we're buys, you know, but they are. You know 813 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: you can at the right you have the right six 814 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: and so they care about the first take wasn't at 815 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 1: the Minnesota game this weekend. First take was on Monday. 816 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: They could have been there Friday. Can you tell me 817 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: where the smoke is for Kirk Cousins this week? A 818 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: lot of people expected it, so I don't think that's 819 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: but they lost. And here's the dude that's been making 820 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: cash left and right in this industry. I mean this, guys, 821 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 1: it's about the return on investment that's not been good. 822 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: And you know you need a first down and you 823 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: throw a three you need ay, I mean, where is 824 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: the beating for this? So funny because Kyle Brand on 825 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football just loves to go in on the 826 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys and now I'm convinced it's a bit, but he 827 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: has a huge Kirk Cousin stand and I'm with you. 828 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, where's the where's the Kirk conversation? It's like 829 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: he didn't even play. I'm sure out there's somebody and 830 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: somewhere and some where had a conversation and it got 831 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: no interest sports in Minneapolis, and maybe even maybe if 832 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: if Kurt had that on his helmet, well, of course 833 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: it'd be so different. So that to my point, Kurt, 834 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, and and Washington, the commedia was strong, strong, 835 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: but he's He's not Washington. I still don't think is 836 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: is that a level market like Dallas would be or 837 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: New York. So Kirt, between the two teams he's been on, 838 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: he's never been in that type of market where it's 839 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: like failure will get you run out of town completely 840 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 1: and just get you the same smoke? Do it this 841 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: Doak was playing for Minnesota, it would be very different, 842 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: very different people. For Dak is a fourth round compensatory pick. 843 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: That's still wild. Yes, And this to the same point 844 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: Tony Romo was undrafted and got more heat and more 845 00:40:54,200 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: smoke than first overall picks don't just right there. It 846 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 1: worked for commercials and sleet number and people. I love it. 847 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: It's great, is Kirk not. Do you find they're demanding 848 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: more from you this week? Yeah, but it's fine when 849 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: the team's winning, Like I don't, I don't mind writing 850 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: more and doing more stuff because I'm I'm into it 851 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: a lot more, to be honest with I mean, I 852 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: think I told you before my biggest fear is that 853 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: they were going to lose that game on Monday night. 854 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 1: And then I got to try and come up with, Yeah, 855 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm really interested to write these draft articles, like anyone 856 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: cares right now? You just went twelve wins, twelve wins, 857 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: first round playoff loss, first round playoff loss. I'm sure 858 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be real psyched about what they do with 859 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: a mid twenties pick. This is gonna be so fun. 860 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: And then they're not going to do anything in free agency, 861 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: and I got to try and sell that. So them 862 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: winning on Sunday, I mean on Monday Night was great 863 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,439 Speaker 1: because we all eat good when it happens. Yeah, because 864 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: but also it's not just that, but it's just there's 865 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: been a lot building to this. They needed to have 866 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: some success, some postseason success, to show that, hey, they're 867 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: building in the right direction. If you just lose again 868 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: in the first round, then it's like, well, how is 869 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: it any different than last year? Why should I care 870 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: about this team? This here? So and I had said 871 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: that even before the game. I said you know, in 872 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: order for him to rewrite this narrative, he's got to 873 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: have success in the postseason. I mean, that's any Cowboys quarterback. 874 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, look at Tony Romo. He will always be 875 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: remembered for his lack of postseason success. Ahead of that game, 876 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: he was one in three. He had six touchdowns and 877 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: three interceptions. You sort of now forget about that. Given 878 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: that one game against Tom Brady, that'll be part of 879 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: his legacy now and now all he has to do 880 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: is march in the San Francisco play loose and against 881 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: a rookie, not because that's what that's what sat a horse. 882 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: Knock him off their horse, knock him off the horse. 883 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: Find conversation, Appreciate it. Patrick Walker didn't talk about the kicker. 884 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 1: He was six for six today. He was six for 885 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: six in the wind. Yeah, okay, since I'm nine in tomorrow, 886 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 1: I gave my prediction. I said, Cowboys win twenty four, 887 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: twenty three. Oh so you're leaning on Cowboys too. I 888 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: need money my herfiehicle. Wouldn't that be wouldn't that be 889 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: a redemption story? Carrying a man off Rocky which which 890 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: But isn't it just perfect? Given how the season has 891 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: gone time and again, resiliency. It's always the guy who 892 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: name of the season. He's the only one who had 893 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: the points. But I go back to h and a 894 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: part of me thinking, this is like a lifetime When 895 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: Fossil's guy Zerline screwed up the Tampa game, but the 896 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: four ye the four left four point four points. The 897 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: next week they go out to LA against a good 898 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: Chargers team and you're like, man, it was insane, and 899 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: you're like, man, it could be O two and then 900 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: were you gonna be at O two and just look 901 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: at it? And uh zert Line ends up winning it 902 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 1: and McCarthy gives him the game ball. So maybe McCarthy 903 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 1: just credits to Fossil. I love the way that he 904 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: fights for his guys, and even just the way that 905 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: he sounded off about him on Tuesday, I think was 906 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: a big deal. The thing that makes me most nervous 907 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: that's different from that scenario, though, is that in that 908 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: scenario you're going from road to you're playing inside this 909 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: you're going from road to road where because I'm telling you, 910 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: I would have a lot of confidence that he gets 911 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: it right back on track. If this game on Sunday 912 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: was at a teen T stadium, you know, a place 913 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: he's used to put kicking at. It's inside, no weather 914 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: condition or anything like that. This game, you just don't know. 915 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: It's a coin flip if it's Rudy Steady a living 916 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: and it gusted up to twenty and he was I 917 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: guess when I was outing them. I guess when I 918 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: was out there, man, I missed he was splitting fans. 919 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: I don't know where they were at. Maybe they were there. 920 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: I just didn't see him. They piped in that crowd noise. 921 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: She missed it. It's just so Cowboys that to assume 922 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: that the guy who had a very bad game will 923 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: bounce back and have a very good game, because that's 924 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: been the tale of their season. Dak said it, Bessie, 925 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: look at me against Washington. All right, I'll see you 926 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: all in San Francisco. That's Metimash. Take care. This has 927 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 928 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
