Together we make hanging with the Boy 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: the sports talk equivalent of Braille. People feel us when 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: we speak. There's so many layers and not enough time. 34 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: I promise you we will not have a time enough 35 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: time to hit all of the layers in this debacle 36 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: of a loss that the Cowboys took this Sunday against 37 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Nate, we talk a lot, a 38 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: lot about your nineties Cowboys, and we talk a lot 39 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: Kurt about what the standard is. And I even heard 40 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott said after the game, and he talked about 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: a level of standard and I heard it and it 42 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: took me to a nasty place because the standard that 43 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: has been a plot to the Dallas Cowboys has not 44 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: been one of the nineties. The standard that has been 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: applied to the Cowboys as of late is exactly what 46 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: you put out on the field on Sunday. So to 47 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: talk about that championship is the standard, No, it's not. 48 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: Championship has not been the standard around here for a 49 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: very very very long time. Yeah, and the way that 50 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: it's looking that may continue to be the trend of 51 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: what the standard is in Cowboy Nation. Now, we'll get 52 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: into it and we'll break it down on who gets 53 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: to blame and where the fingerpoint. But Emmitt Smith, Michael 54 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: Irvin all came out this weekend and they all had 55 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: very choice things that they said about this Cowboys team. 56 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: And that was very unlike especially Michael, especially Mike, who is, 57 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: if not the biggest homer next to the biggest homer 58 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: that there is in Cowboy Nation, and he had some 59 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: very choice things to say. And of course everyone wants 60 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: to start with get rid of folks, and sure, where 61 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: do we start? Where do we start? Do we start 62 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: with the head coach? 63 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 5: Kurt? 64 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: Is it the head coach? Does does this fall? Does 65 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: this fall squarely on the shoulders of Mike McCarthy. Does 66 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: he require the brunt of the blame in this loss? 67 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 4: Well, he has to definitely take blame because at the 68 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: end of the day at all Paul Roads lead through him, 69 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: you know, as the head coach. I'm still kind of 70 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 4: leaning though that I do not want to see him 71 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 4: leave simply because I'm not ready to to rebuild. I 72 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: guess bringing another another new offense, another coordinator, another system 73 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: and all that. I mean, he's had success in the 74 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 4: regular season here, he's had success in the playoffs in 75 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 4: his past. You'd like to think he could figure that 76 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 4: out here. But it wouldn't surprise me if he's let go. 77 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: But to me personally, I would not like to see 78 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 4: him leave. 79 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: Nate. 80 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 5: The thing here, excuse me, I'm so sorry for that. 81 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 5: The thing here is you can get rid of coach 82 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 5: McCarthy and you're gonna have to get rid of Dan Quinn. 83 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 5: You're gonna have to get rid of the offensive coordinator. 84 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 5: You're gonna have to get rid of everything that coaches 85 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: put in place, because what you're saying is he cannot 86 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 5: prepare these guys for the biggest games, on the biggest stages, 87 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 5: even though he's been twelve and five for the last 88 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 5: three years, though he's had them first round exits. You're 89 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 5: saying that this guy way is not the way. We 90 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: don't have a cowboy culture here like the New England 91 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 5: once had. So now you're saying, we got to bring 92 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 5: in a new head coach with a new way of thinking. 93 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 5: That's gonna hold guys to different perspectives. What I'm trying 94 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: to say, different priorities. We're gonna reset the priorities. So 95 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 5: it ain't gonna just be coach. It's gonna be a 96 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 5: whole bunch of guys that gotta leave. And now are 97 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 5: you ready to do that? You have to ask yourself 98 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 5: as a fan base, as you know as players, Okay, 99 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 5: we let the coach down, we don't let ourselves down. 100 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 5: We let the coach down too, because we put him 101 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 5: on a guy that was firmly in place on the 102 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 5: hottest of hot seats in the biggest the star. So 103 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 5: now this a lot goes with losing your head coach, 104 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 5: because it ain't gonna just be your head coach, because 105 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 5: no coaching they right mind going for the Jason Garrett. 106 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 5: We already got the staff in place, and nobody going 107 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 5: for that. They bring they want to bring in their guys. 108 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 5: So that that's how I feel about it. And you 109 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 5: know I didn't give you an exact answer, and I'm 110 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 5: finna give it to you now. I don't want Mike 111 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 5: to leave. I don't want him to leave. But if 112 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 5: you gonna if this is what we gonna keep saying this. 113 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, in a year out in the playoffs, Nah, 114 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: he gotta go there. 115 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: What do you think you know? 116 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: I think I think Nate's point is valid. I think 117 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: when you talk about firing a coach, you're talking about 118 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 2: his staff being fired as well. You're talking about whoever 119 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: you now bring in that that will be. Now talking 120 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: about Dak will be and we'll get into Dak. This 121 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: will be his third offensive coordinator or third offense that 122 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: he's had to kind of figure his way through. While 123 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: they've tried to keep some of the similarities, everyone's gonna 124 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: have their own thoughts in their process of their own visions, right, 125 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: whether it's Jason Garrett, whether it's Kellen Moore, whether it's 126 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy and Schottenheimer and whoever the next person may be, 127 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: They're all going to have their different thoughts and philosophies 128 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: on how things should be done and the way that 129 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: they go about things. 130 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 6: And yeah, if you're going to do it, then do 131 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 6: it right, Like, don't waste time. 132 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: But I think that the entire house has to be 133 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: cleaned if you're going to go that route. If you're 134 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: going to go that route, then the entire house has 135 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: to be clean. It does. Now, what I've kind of 136 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: been in back and forth talks with all day with 137 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: people is I'm okay with people saying that people have 138 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: to go, but now you have to have an answer 139 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: for that, right, there's an availability for them. And now 140 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: there's some names that's been passed around, Bill Belichick, Jim Harball, 141 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: which those two names. 142 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 5: I'm not dictators dictators, Stop not you, Jed. I'm talking 143 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 5: about the world. 144 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 2: Right. 145 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 5: This team has a higherarchy that believes in a democratic vote, 146 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 5: and the majority wins unless the fifty on a say 147 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 5: I want it like this. Other than that, it goes 148 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 5: to a vote Hardball, don't vote. 149 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 3: Belichick, Belichick, don't vote. 150 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 5: He go to Steven and Steven, I need for this 151 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 5: to happen like this, like this, and like this, and 152 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 5: mister Jones Stephen Jones said, well, let me check with Dad, 153 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 5: let me go over here with Will and Bella said, really, 154 00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: I ain't signed up for that. 155 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So. 156 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: And that's a great point. That's a great point. You 157 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: look at Jim Hallball, Yes he had a time of 158 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: the league, but when you talk about college football, like 159 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 2: when you're that level of a coach, when you're the 160 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: Jim Hallballs, when you're the the Nick Sabans of the 161 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: worlds like you are you, Yeah, you got an a D. 162 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: But it's really like, listen, it's not asking the A 163 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: D for permission. It's telling him what I'm going to 164 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 2: do right and get it done. This is what we're 165 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: doing right, and this is where we're doing. This is 166 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: what I'm thinking, and we're gonna go from there. But 167 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: then there's on the flip side of that, it's the 168 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: young youth movement, and there's there are coaches like I 169 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: still put airbne Me in the conversation, I still put 170 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: h I put guys like Ben Johnson, the OC over 171 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: in Detroit or the OC down in Houston, Bobby Schlowick. 172 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: Those are some of the young new names that you're hearing, 173 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: not for the Cowboys job, but just for head coaching vacancy. Vacancy. 174 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: So now this is this is what this is what 175 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: we're talking about coaching now, and there is no really 176 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: no in between in this thing. It's either the in between. 177 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: It's either you keep you keep. 178 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: Mike. 179 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: Yes, I do think dan Quinn finally sees this is 180 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: his time for exit. 181 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: I do. 182 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: I think I think he sees now I'm not gonna 183 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: like In fact, my fire has probably come down a 184 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: little bit, right, I'm not. 185 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: I'm not. 186 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 2: I'm not the hot commody like I was the past 187 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: two years. Right, there's now some chinks in my armor. 188 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: So I think I think we'll see the exit of 189 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: dan Quinn is offen for a head coaching job. I 190 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: do think that. But for Mike McCarthy, the middle is 191 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. That is where you stay put where you're 192 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: at in the middle. Or I'm going to the retread. 193 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to the older coaches like you were talking 194 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: about in a dictatorship and those guys who have way 195 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: more established ways that I don't think match the same 196 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: ways that the Cowboys want to do things. Or it's 197 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: now go to the youth movement. And in the youth movement, 198 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: it's going to be a situation where are these guys 199 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: truly ready to handle all that comes along with being 200 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 2: the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. 201 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: Where are you thinking youth. 202 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking you gotta go youth. I'm thinking I'm 203 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: thinking now it's it's right if slow it comes from 204 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: the Shadahan tree. 205 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: Right. 206 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at that and I'm saying, well, if 207 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: anything like the McVeigh tree like it was a few 208 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: years ago, taking anything attached to the Shanahan tree, that fruit, 209 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: it's a good tree for me. That that tree is 210 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: very very very wow because the way that the game 211 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: has like this is the way that the game is going. 212 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: Look at look at the offenses that are that are 213 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: prospering significantly in the National Football today lead today. They 214 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: come from this level of and this is why you know, 215 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: Cam Newton said it while you while you can have 216 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: a game manager and be wildly successful because the play 217 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: callers give you a schematic advantage every single time that 218 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 2: you go out there. I don't know that you get 219 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: that necessarily with Mike McCarthy. I don't know if you 220 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: get a schematic advantage when you watch Green Bay last week, 221 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: Like the Green Bay again, Lafloor comes from where the 222 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: Shanahan tree, Like he's all a part in that Shanahan 223 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: When you look, they had a schematic when you watch 224 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 2: go back and watch that film. They were calling things 225 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: and they were making the defense move in places like, 226 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm gonna get this spot right here open 227 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: because I'm gonna do this. Watch this motion goes out, 228 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: he goes out, boom, get them more stuck on the outside, 229 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 2: touchdown on the post route because there's nobody there. And 230 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: so when you have that type of schematic approach to 231 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: your thuff, this is why guys like C. J. Stroud 232 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: is becoming accessful. This is why like brock Perty is 233 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: becoming successful because these offensive play callers are are good 234 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: enough with the numbers and the approach and what they 235 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: do to go, hey, listen, I'm I'm taking all of 236 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: the thinking out of the football game. Like the days 237 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: of Peyton Manning having to do all that and Tom 238 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: Brady haven to do all that. These new they say, listen, 239 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: you don't have to think. Don't think, don't think. Don't 240 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: if you overthink this, right, let's just play fast. I'm 241 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: going to give you the answers to the test when 242 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 2: we get to the line of scrimmage in this formation. 243 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: This is why the motion has become such an important 244 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: component in what they do because the motion is going 245 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: to give you the answers to. 246 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 4: The test that time mcarthury was instituted. 247 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: Did you watch the game? 248 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: You watch the game, that's what he was bringing with. 249 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 5: We'll get but you know what, you know what, that's valid, 250 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 5: that's valid, that's valid. 251 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: Yes, But he hasn't he hasn't. 252 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 5: Think he he has not as not like the mad 253 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 5: professor in Miami or the mad professor that just left here. 254 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 5: You're right, not to that degree. But he tried, but 255 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 5: somebody wasn't connected. So I mean, I ain't gonna drop 256 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 5: the gun that you leave. 257 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 3: Let's do this. That's a great that's a great point. 258 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: Let's dive more into that. 259 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: Let's take a break. When we come back, we'll dive 260 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: more into that. Does Mike McCarthy need another year to 261 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: put the next component into this offense and play? Or 262 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: did what we saw is what we're going to get. 263 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: There's no there's no one, no more hanging out in 264 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: the garage putting stuff together.

They said the Cowboys in the 316 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,239 Speaker 2: new format of the playoff, the way it's set up, 317 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: it's the it's the only team, only seventh seed to 318 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: be the only two seed to lose to a seventeen 319 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: in the new construction of the way the playoff goes. 320 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: I mean, it was a bunch of first that happened. 321 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 3: When we talk about something. 322 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: That don't take him down. I get back to this. 323 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 2: We were talking about the play call right, and we 324 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: were talking about the giving your team a schematic advantage 325 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: in the game, and it felt like when you when 326 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: you watch this game that what Green Bay was doing 327 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: wing both offensively and defensively, seemed as if that they 328 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: had the answers to the Cowboys tests. And it seems 329 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: like Cowboys wise offensively and defensively, that they never found themselves. 330 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 2: They never found the test. They didn't have the right 331 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 2: scantroney to have a number two pencil, they didn't do 332 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: anything in the right direction. 333 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 4: That's what jumped out to me. It was like they weren't. 334 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 4: They just weren't ready, Like the players weren't ready for 335 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 4: the fight. They got punch in the mouth right at 336 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 4: the beginning and didn't know what to do. And then 337 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 4: the coaches were just like Quinn, had no answer, and 338 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 4: you know, beginning on the car. I mean, how does 339 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 4: that happen? Going into a game like this? 340 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 3: How do you And. 341 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 5: This is this is what hurts when you when you 342 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 5: realize how you were built and it and it don't 343 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 5: come close to what you you know, the big picture 344 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 5: of what you put put in place all year. And 345 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 5: what I mean by that is you are a team 346 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 5: that is built to score first. Yes, and if you 347 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 5: don't score first. I said it yesterday, I said, I 348 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 5: said a couple of days ago, we have to score 349 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 5: on green Bay first, and we have to keep scoring 350 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 5: because what I saw on film of green Bay offense 351 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 5: I liked. And that's why the first time I ever 352 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 5: picked the score like twenty twenty one, because I knew 353 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 5: they was gonna get some points. What bothers me is 354 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 5: the fact that we have not learned as a team 355 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 5: and as individual players to overcome major adversity. When they 356 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 5: got seven, our next drive, we went seven plays the 357 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 5: punted guess who kick her interference instead of them starting 358 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 5: on the nine and giving your defense some hope, jumped 359 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 5: straight to the twenty four and this march begins again. 360 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 5: Then we come back the next possession, it's a pick six. 361 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 5: So now our defense sitting over there, and I feared 362 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 5: his leader sitting over there, like they even run the ball. 363 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 5: They gaven pasketball took him out of the game. No 364 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 5: one took him out of the game, but took everybody 365 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 5: else out of the game. Now you have corners that 366 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 5: like to jump things or take chances. Now they scared 367 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 5: the depth, they're moving back. 368 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. So but back to your deal, You. 369 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 5: Don't think that coach McCarthy, if that would have been 370 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 5: hot enough had the beginning of the game and connected 371 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 5: with CD could have got into that rhythm because I 372 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 5: don't think he got a rhythm. 373 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 3: And that's my thoughts. 374 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, hnsight's always twenty twenty, right, Yeah, of course if 375 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: he gets hot. Right, we've seen it all year. Loan 376 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: Doc was, we'll probably finish the year second in MVP voting. 377 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 2: Right goes to I believe this is his first All 378 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: Pro selection in his eight year career. Right, So if 379 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 2: he is CD who also selection for the first time 380 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 2: in his career, he had they connect early on and 381 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 2: get hot. Sure, like we've seen them go back and 382 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 2: forth with with with with anybody. But it's in and 383 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 2: we've talked about this last week. It's in these moments 384 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: that when you're in the playoffs the things that you 385 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: are not good at, your weakness is getting magnified. And 386 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: you know, to give Cam Newton credit, right, he talked 387 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: about quarterbacks that are game managers and quarterback that are 388 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: game changers, and you know, this kind of almost proved 389 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: the point about Dak being able to be a game changer, 390 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: because you would want your guy. This is this is 391 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: who you look for when when the ship gets rocky 392 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 2: and the storms are going you look to the captain. 393 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: You're saying, captain, what are we going to do? How 394 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: are you going to come the storm? And if your 395 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: captain doesn't have answers, now all health breaks loose. And 396 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: so you were looking at some point in time for 397 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: Dak to find a completion. And this is this is 398 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 2: where I go back to the This is this is 399 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: my debate that I've had back and forth with myself 400 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 2: about the McCarthy Dak situation, because it's he's looking at McCarthy, 401 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: McCarthy's looking at him, and everybody looking at both of 402 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: them like yo, hey, somebody do something right, and you 403 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 2: look for your best players to have one of those 404 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: legacy moments. You look for Dak to kind of Okay, guys, cool, 405 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: calm down. I'm anathodically take this thing. But even the 406 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: play call on the pick six, to me, that was 407 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: Mike getting tight. That office didn't look like how it 408 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: looked at home for the last sixteen games at home, 409 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: it didn't look that way. And in credit to Green Bay, 410 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 2: they saw that set and goes well, when I watched 411 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: on film and they lined up like this, they never 412 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: threw it to the other guys. They always do it 413 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: to eighty eight. So they that's what I'm gonna jump to. 414 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: If they beat me anywhere else, I'll go, all right, 415 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: tip my cap to you, we'll play another down. But 416 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take my chances with the guy. Especially when 417 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: things aren't going right. You're gonna try to you're gonna 418 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: try to force feed your guy. And so that that's 419 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: the part that you know I've battled with. I've battled 420 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: with that part. There was no answers. There was no 421 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: answers to stop the bleeding. They just kept bleeding, and 422 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: on both sides of the football, and and and that's 423 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: when we can transition to the other side. For dan Quinn, 424 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: he had no answer. Dan Quinn. The record came out, 425 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: and dan Quinn is owing six against uh the guys 426 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: who used to be on this staff his offensive coaching 427 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: staff in twenty sixteen was Kyle Shanahan, Matt Lafleur, and 428 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniels. They were all on his staff in twenty 429 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: sixteen in Atlanta. He's owing six against those guys. Now, 430 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. I know they say sometimes keep your 431 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: friends close and your enemies closers. To keep your friends 432 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: close and your former coworkers closer, because they could they 433 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: could really do a number on you and dan Quinn. 434 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 3: This we have. 435 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: Praised dan Quinn. We've praised him, We've lifted them and 436 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: elevated him into this to this great heights. He gets 437 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: paid a ton of money, he's for the last two years, 438 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: he's done a great job. And from whatever reason, he 439 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: didn't have an answer. 440 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 4: No, but I don't think he like Nate kind of 441 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 4: mentioned earlier. The big picture of that defense just wasn't 442 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 4: gonna work in that game of the town. I mean, 443 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 4: they just got beat run over. You know, there's where 444 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 4: is it like six defensive backs on the field forty 445 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: eight Yeah, two tight end sets and all that. I 446 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 4: just they just can't. 447 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: Man. 448 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: But there were three or four plays Kurt or receivers 449 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 2: like the ope, it's one. It's one thing to this 450 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: is wide open in the National Football League. Like if 451 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 2: you're a receiver, tight end, running back and you're running this, 452 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: if if I had this much on a step on 453 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 2: a guy, I'm wide open. 454 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, there are. 455 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 2: Four or five There were four, at least four plays 456 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: in this starts. There wasn't ten fifteen twenty yards near 457 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: the receiver for the Packers like that. It's okay to 458 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 2: happen once, but when you happened that many times, that 459 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: tells me that they had your number all game. 460 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, explain that part of it to me, because we 461 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: kept hearing the announcers saying, well, they usually play man, 462 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 4: they're playing zone. And that was one of the reasons 463 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 4: for the breakdowns, Like the big play to the tight end. 464 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 4: The Bell and Wilson both they didn't pass one, you know, 465 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 4: the guy off I mean, is that was that a 466 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 4: legitimate thing? 467 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 5: Well, let me say something about zone and I'm talking 468 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 5: about it. Maybe the zones have changed since I played 469 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 5: eons ago, but every zone that I see, they back 470 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 5: up and don't let nobody get behind these four players, Yes, 471 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 5: talking about nobody was behind them, in front of them, 472 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 5: around them. 473 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: So what zone were they playing? A lot of these 474 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 3: times they were in. Man. The thing that hurts. 475 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 5: Is we've set we shot there all game, all year long, 476 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 5: saying eventually it's gonna get us the ability to run 477 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 5: and mix. In the past when they want to, they 478 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 5: did it. 479 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: Now. I want to say this right here. 480 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 5: Is it a good thing to have six receivers with 481 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 5: over six hundred yards or is it a bad thing? 482 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 5: Because you don't know who's gonna have that day. All 483 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 5: of these guys can run routes that all of them 484 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 5: seem to be pretty big, and they all are connected 485 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 5: to their quarterback. And they showed up, fellas, they showed up. 486 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 2: All Right, we'll take our last break of the show 487 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: and then we'll come back and we'll talk about the 488 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: Cowboys quarterback. What should they do? Well, Dak Prescott, he 489 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 2: is a guy who has one year left on his 490 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 2: deal pretty much is a huge cap hit next year. 491 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: And do you have Some conversations are saying blow it up, 492 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: get what you can get for him, some saying this 493 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: is what you gotta go with in the future, build 494 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: around them, and I don't know. We'll talk about that. 495 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: We'll talk about the quarterback and the other pieces on 496 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 2: the Cowboy football team when we come back.

The players are gone, and and and 552 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: and now we are on to the off season. 553 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 4: Off season zero. Who thought would be this early? 554 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 2: Who'd have thought it? Whould have thought it? The off 555 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: season where the conversations and the speculations begin to swirl. 556 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: This Cowboys team has a couple of players that are 557 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: due for contracts. Michael Parsons is up, it is eligible 558 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: for a contract, and I assume that he wants to 559 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: be the highest played defensive player in NFL history. Seedee 560 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 2: Lamb is eligible for a contract. I'm going to assume 561 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: that he is going to want to get paid like 562 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: an all pro number one wide receiver, elite receiver in 563 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: this league. And the going rate for that thirty million 564 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: dollars a year. And and then you have your quarterback. 565 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 2: And then you have Dak Prescott, who has who's on 566 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 2: the books next year for fifty nine and some change 567 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: million dollars, let's say sixty million dollars a huge cap pit. 568 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 2: This is the part of the game where money gets 569 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: moved down the line. He has a fake two years 570 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: that left on it really on the deal, but there's 571 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: no money in those deals. It's it's this this right here. 572 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: And so you have a couple things that you can 573 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: kind of do with this money. You can you can 574 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: you can let him play at this price tag and say, 575 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: all right, sixty million dollars next year. That's a lot 576 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: of money on the books, and it limits what you 577 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: can do as far as building and bringing other pieces. 578 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 2: You can post June won it and now have to 579 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: eat thirty million of it will be the cappit on it. 580 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: Or which most people think, which I think the Cowboys 581 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: will probably do, is they'll extend them and they'll take 582 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: that money, they'll put it back in the pot. They'll 583 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: add some years to it, and they'll add some more 584 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: money to it, and it'll come out and it'll sound 585 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: something like five years to two two hundred and seventy million. 586 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what the number is, two hundred and 587 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: fifty plus over the next couple of years, which will 588 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 2: bring that cap number down, which will then allow you 589 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 2: to pay other players and continue to keep this thing 590 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: pushing forward. My question to you, and the question that 591 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: many of Cowboy Nation have, is of the three options, 592 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: do you say we play this thing out one more year, 593 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 2: we pay the money, we take the hit, and we 594 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 2: move on from Dak Prescott, or at some point in 595 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 2: time throughout that year you try to trade him. Well, 596 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: that's a difficult as well, because he has no trading 597 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: calls in his contract. It's going to be very difficult 598 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: to do that. Or do you cut them, take the 599 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: hit and you just say, hey, Trey Lance will be 600 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: the gap year quarterback that we'll use, and we'll figure 601 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: this thing out down like where where do you? Where 602 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 2: do you I want Kurt? Where do you want to go? 603 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 3: Nate? 604 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: Where do you want to go? We'll start with you 605 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: Kurt first. When it comes to Dak Prescott, where do 606 00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 2: you want to go? And why? 607 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 4: Well? I think their hands are tied. 608 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 3: Where do you? 609 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 2: Where do I want to go? 610 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 4: I want to I want the extension. I think the 611 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 4: way that contract is built, they don't have much other 612 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 4: choice unless they're willing to just blow it up and 613 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 4: start over. Because a sixty million dollar cap hit, you're left, 614 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 4: Like you said, you're left with Trey Lance and who 615 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 4: knows what else. Even if Trey Lance is your quarterback, 616 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 4: you still can't bring much else in because you're You're 617 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 4: CAP's a mass. So unless the and I don't I 618 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 4: don't think they're that. I mean, they're right on the 619 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 4: edge of twelve win season the last three years. You know, 620 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 4: it's just I hate for them to just blow it up. 621 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 2: But we've come to this place in the playoffs every 622 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 2: single year. We know that the regular season success is there. 623 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 2: It's been there, it's always been there. But the but 624 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 2: the hurdle is the playoffs, right, and if we're keeping 625 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 2: the coaches and we're keeping the quarterback, how do we 626 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 2: get a different result? Yeah? 627 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 4: I mean that's Maybe it's the players around him, I 628 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 4: mean more physical, more that kind of thing. Maybe it's 629 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 4: the you know, your defensive cordion or know, although he's 630 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 4: pretty physical as it is with Quinn, I don't know 631 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 4: how you fix that. I'm not a coach. Wish I was, 632 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 4: actually I don't. 633 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 5: Wish the question, but Jesse is just so hard. Yeah, 634 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 5: with a decision, you know, well. 635 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 2: There has to be a the sai. 636 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 5: There has been and I outgree but this is one time, man, 637 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 5: I'm not agree with Kurt. I this book my pay grade. Bro, 638 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 5: Maybe you can come up with a better asked, because 639 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 5: if you get rid of Dak Okay, now you gotta 640 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 5: I'm Trey Lance even on my radar. 641 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 4: It have to be. If you get rid of Dak 642 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 4: yeah yeah. 643 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 13: But but you can't get rid of him this year 644 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 13: because of the sixty cap. 645 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that ain't going certainly. 646 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 13: His contract right now is twenty three point four seven 647 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 13: percent of the Cowboys salary cap. 648 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 7: So there you go. 649 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 5: So My thing is, is all of his guaranteed money 650 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 5: being paid? What out of that sixty one million next 651 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 5: year is he actually gonna get paid? Is it twenty 652 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 5: at thirty. 653 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 3: All of it? 654 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 2: Yeah? 655 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 3: All of what is pushed on the one. 656 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 4: Year that's everything is Is it pushed? 657 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 3: It's just pushing. Yeah. 658 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 4: Like it's twenty nine million base, thirteen million from his 659 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 4: signing bonus, five million for a roster bonus, twelve million 660 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 4: for restructure. It all adds up to the sixty million. 661 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 3: You have no other choice. You just answered it. You 662 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 3: have to extend him. You have no other choice. You 663 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 3: are trapped, So you have to extend him. That's what 664 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 3: I want him here or not. 665 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,479 Speaker 5: My answer to this is Dak cannot be a part 666 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 5: of the losing equation. That's just the bottom line. Last year, 667 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 5: the interceptions, the year before the interception, This year fourteen points. 668 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 5: Dak has to find a way to not be a 669 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 5: part of the losing equation when we go into the playoffs. 670 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 5: When when when I as a fan now as an 671 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 5: ex player, but as a fan, look. 672 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 3: Up and say what need to be fixed? I can't say, head. 673 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 5: Coach, quarterback, that means you got to blow the whole 674 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 5: thing up. You want to probably say head coach, get 675 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 5: ready to head coach, fixed the offensive line or fix 676 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 5: the defensive line. 677 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 3: But you don't want to say, head coach. Quarterback. That's 678 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 3: the team, bro, that is the team. 679 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 4: Can't fix anything else if you're getting rid of it. Yeah, Dak, 680 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah you can. Maybe if you have him 681 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 4: and restructure him, you can improve the running game or 682 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 4: you know, improve the defense something like to prove the 683 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 4: offensive line. But if you if you get rid of him, 684 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 4: you can't. 685 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 2: Well, some will say how much more improvement do you 686 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 2: want to do because they'll say nine All Pros this year, 687 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 2: they'll say fifteen Pro Bowlers? How many problem they. 688 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 4: Have to go? I can't remember when. Yeah, a lot 689 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 4: a lot. 690 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 2: Of Pro Bowlers this year, right, And they's saying, what 691 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 2: what what more can you give him? 692 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 693 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 2: It's like because no matter what you give him, at 694 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 2: the end of the day, he has been part of, 695 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 2: part of, not all, but he's been a part of 696 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 2: and that if we give him. The thing about quarterback 697 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 2: and coach is this, if you give the quarterback all 698 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: the credit when you're wining, then he has to take 699 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 2: all the credit. When you lose, right, right, So the 700 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 2: thing that's been the common denominator or or the main state, 701 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 2: and a lot of these playoff losses, it has been 702 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 2: back in the center. 703 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 704 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: So and this is this is not coming off year 705 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 2: two or three. This is coming off this is coming 706 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 2: off your worst playoff performance in year eight. 707 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, he is what he is? 708 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 2: Like, what are there changes that are gonna come from him? 709 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 2: And this is this is kind of that you know, 710 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 2: cat and mouse situation because you're saying, well, if he's 711 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 2: going to be who he is, then then I need 712 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: someone that's going to be able to help elevate him 713 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 2: to a different level schematically, right. And and if if 714 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 2: you're saying that that's what's going to be, then the 715 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 2: mic didn't do that this year, not in the postseason 716 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 2: and the regular season. He's played the regular season, he's 717 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 2: had the best year and he's had in his career. 718 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 2: But we're talking about the postseason. We said that in 719 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 2: August that at least I did. We're I don't care 720 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 2: about regular season. What are you gonna do when you 721 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 2: get in the pull up? Because many of us we thought, well, you. 722 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 3: Thought super Bowl. 723 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 2: I thought I thought that, you know, this thing is 724 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: when we get that when we when we had to 725 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 2: face the Niners. But then you go, when you you 726 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 2: you you have this letdown against a team that's the 727 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 2: youngest football team in with the experience, with the least 728 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: amount of playoff experience. That's and and so and and 729 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 2: what green Bay gives you, green Bay gives you almost 730 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 2: almost not exactly, but what Green Bay gives you is 731 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 2: almost an outlook on what it could be. Because I 732 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 2: know that Jordan Loves set for three years, and that's 733 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 2: that's an anomaly in today's football. But what Green Bay 734 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 2: gave you as an opportunity to say, and if we 735 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 2: give all, if we if we just bring all these 736 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 2: young guys in, because all their guys were either first 737 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 2: rookies or second year guys, right, Trey Lance, Trey Lan, 738 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: excuse me, Jordan Love's first year as a starter, and 739 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 2: so they took their lumps earlier on the season, and 740 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 2: they would say, figuring it out, those young kids was 741 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 2: figuring it out. We're gonna just keep figuring it out. 742 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 2: It ain't pretty, it ain't it ain't cute, but we're 743 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 2: gonna just keep figuring it out. And the and and 744 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 2: I know you know, Nate, the more reps and anything 745 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: that you do, the more rep that you do, the 746 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 2: better that you get, the more comfortable that you get, 747 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 2: and eventually you know, you're beginning to pick up on 748 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: it and things begin to work like a well oiled machine. 749 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 2: So Green Bay kind of gave you a glat at 750 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 2: what it would look like now. I don't know. When 751 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,439 Speaker 2: you hear Jerry Jones say I don't have a long 752 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 2: time for I don't have a long time for a 753 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 2: bad time. What he said, I don't I don't have 754 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 2: much time for a bad time. Whatever saying that he says, 755 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 2: is he willing to go through those lumpy years where 756 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to not you know, in Green Bay 757 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 2: and somebody say, you know about Tampa, Like Tampa was 758 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 2: in a division where somebody had to come out of it. 759 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 2: Somebody had to come out of that division. They just 760 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 2: so happened to do it, and they and they took 761 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 2: on a team that's imploding in the Philadelphia Eagle. So 762 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 2: but but but the Cowboys can say, well if we 763 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 2: just blow it up and start fresh again, And I 764 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 2: don't think that's where and that's and that's where it 765 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 2: comes into place where and that sometimes is where that 766 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 2: that that that ability to say that your general manager 767 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 2: is your owner, right, because the timing and that are 768 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 2: both the same. Because if it was a different general manager, 769 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 2: you go, I got all the time in the world. 770 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna be around, But Jerry goes, I don't 771 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 2: have I don't have time for a rebuild. I don't 772 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,439 Speaker 2: have time for a rebuild. And I think that's why 773 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 2: the Dak will get the extension. I do think that. 774 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 2: I think he will get the extension. I think Dak 775 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 2: is a good player. I think that's a really good 776 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 2: player in this league. I watched I watch football weekend 777 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 2: and week out, and I see what teams who do 778 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 2: not have quarterbacks look like. And it's tough. It's a 779 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 2: lot of football teams out there. 780 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 4: Maybe that's something we can talk about next time we meet. 781 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 4: Is like just the you got Dak, you got Mike 782 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 4: in there? Is it a culture? Can you still change? 783 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 4: Does there need to be a culture? Can change? 784 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 11: Is? 785 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 4: Can you change that culture so you can help Dak 786 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,479 Speaker 4: that kind of thing. Does that makes sense? 787 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 3: Yeah? 788 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 2: And here's why it's going to be difficult, because like 789 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,839 Speaker 2: your owner and general manager are one your head coach 790 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,439 Speaker 2: and your offensive coordinator one, that culture lies within him. 791 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 2: And if and if you get to a point where 792 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 2: you're saying, Mike, we're gonna bring in a we're gonna 793 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 2: get you're gonna be the walk around head coach and 794 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 2: we're gonna bring in one of these other young guys 795 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 2: and allow him to restructure to kind of the office, 796 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 2: then get rid of Mike. Just get rid of just 797 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 2: get rid of him, just just get rid of him. 798 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 3: As a whole. 799 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 2: Right Like, And that's the that's the that's the thing 800 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 2: that lies in between that that head coach, offensive coordinator, 801 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 2: head coach and defensive coordinator title. Right, That's that's what 802 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: happened in New England. Right, Bill Belichick was so much 803 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 2: of everything that there was nothing to separate him from that. 804 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 2: There was nothing else to bring in that culture change 805 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 2: because he was the GM, the head coach, the defensive 806 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 2: pseudo defensive coordinator, so everything was tied to him. And 807 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: to separate him from that mean you had to bring 808 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 2: somebody else in here, which wouldn't work. So you in 809 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 2: order to change the culture, you have to do a 810 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,439 Speaker 2: complete overhaul of everything in there. 811 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:56,959 Speaker 4: Thank you, It makes sense. 812 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 2: That's what makes it very difficult. So the Cowboys in 813 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 2: a there a very unique situation. And what makes it 814 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 2: very difficult is that they're never going to be bad 815 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 2: enough to find themselves with the opportunity to draft in 816 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 2: the top five where your franchise level quarterbacks are. And 817 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 2: the Cowboys for the last twenty years have skated by 818 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 2: on the draw, the luck of the draw. You had 819 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 2: your franchise quarterback for ten plus years, and Tony Romo's 820 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 2: an undrafted free agent, and your franchise quarterback for the 821 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 2: presumably future, which is already eight years finished. He'll get 822 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,240 Speaker 2: some more years, which would be another ten plus years, 823 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,399 Speaker 2: was a fourth round pick. And that's what you've hitch 824 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 2: your wagon to for the last two decades. And I 825 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 2: think this is what it is going forward until you're 826 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 2: able to do a complete culture change. 827 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 5: This. People just understand, I mean, great stuff, jessh great stuff. Kurt, 828 00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 5: just understand. Dak is here because he's saying it's playing 829 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 5: is what kept him here in the playoffs. This regular 830 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 5: season player, it has been phenomenal. Playoffs's very shaky. But 831 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 5: the only thing you can hit your wagonto is like 832 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:18,240 Speaker 5: just saying, real nicely, is if y'all want coach McCarthy gone. 833 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 5: This whole thing fing to be shaken up. Now a 834 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 5: coach can tell you doing an interview like yeah, I 835 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 5: love everything coach McCarthy on, and we're gonna take what 836 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 5: he does best and we're gonna keep it. 837 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 3: That ain't that right? There is the biggest lied unheard. 838 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 5: Because now you're actually the coach to come in and 839 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 5: take second fiddle for two or three years, not be himself, 840 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 5: not do the things that he feels his best to 841 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 5: advance his team that you gave him. So if coach 842 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 5: McCarthy leave, I think Dan should leave. Dan probably already 843 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 5: in a better position than coach McCarthy is because he's 844 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 5: got people dating him, you know, trying to give him 845 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 5: a first promise rang or something. But wow, that means 846 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 5: your assistant is gonna be shaking up, you know. Does 847 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 5: Al Harris want to stay? Does Joe Wick j you 848 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 5: want to stay? You know, if you change your head coaches, 849 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 5: A lot of this is predicated on if McCarthy stays, 850 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 5: not with Dan quinn, but these assistants. 851 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 2: And I also say this, and I know that sometimes 852 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 2: coaching and will have to get out of it, but sometimes coaching. 853 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 2: You'll say, you know, hey, coach, you know you have 854 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 2: to fit the players that we have into your system. 855 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 2: But you have guys on this roster that when you 856 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 2: change the culture. Yes, whoever else that you bring in here, 857 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 2: you may have sold this guy for this, but the 858 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 2: new guy may. I'll give you example, a guy like 859 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 2: Yanye Thomas, who a lot of people are saying, Man, 860 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 2: I can't wait for next year to see Yanye Thomas 861 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 2: coming here and have his opportunity. Well, look, Yanye Thomas 862 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 2: is a part of Dan Quinn's playing. It's a part 863 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 2: of Dan's Quinn development. If a kid like Yanye Thomas 864 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 2: is hearing this roster next year and a new defensive 865 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 2: coordinator comes in and there's no Al Harris and there's 866 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 2: no Jewett Jr. There's no other coaches and there's no 867 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 2: you know, dirt and whoever the coaches are. 868 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 5: Yan Ye's looked that differently, and Bill Bell. 869 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,919 Speaker 2: Like all of these guys have now looked at differently. Right, Yes, 870 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 2: David Quinn had a vision and it was building it 871 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 2: to a certain type of crescendo. When new guy comes in, 872 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 2: he goes, in fact, you're too tall for what I 873 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 2: like Dan wasn't tall with long He goes, I like 874 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 2: mine short and quick. 875 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:31,399 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 876 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 2: So those guys offensively the same thing. The guy that 877 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 2: you're trying to build up. Mike McCarthy sees a vision 878 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: and the guys that he's brought in and saying, we're 879 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 2: gonna do X, Y and these with these guys. When 880 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 2: the new guys come in, he look at that guy 881 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 2: and go, I don't see what they saw on you. 882 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 2: You're not my guy.
