That's right for Sunday when the Cowboys take 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.200 on the Washington Commanders of the regular season finale at 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.199 noon at a And. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:41.080 As Jerry pointed out, I'm not under any unusual time 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:46.560 frame to make a decision on the coaching staff or 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.400 to announce it. Who knows he might have made the decision. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:50.760 Already, tried. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.559 Everybody may know what's going on. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.040 But he does, but he doesn't have to say. 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.320 And he continued to speak out of both sides of 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.080 his mind, talking about all the good things that Mike 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.320 McCarthy did, but saying that, well, I don't have to 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:08.760 say anything just yet. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.000 We have to evaluate. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.920 So you were saying, he talked out of both sides 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:12.399 of his mouth. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.359 So he said all the good things, did he did 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.000 he ever talk out of the other side. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.240 Of his mouth about bad things? Yeah? 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.680 The injuries, Oh all right, and pointed that out, which 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.639 you know, it's it's part of the story this year 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.440 that just kind of gets eliminated. Uh, you know, it's 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.919 it's one of these deals. And like I like to say, 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.640 everybody likes to put something in a big box and 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.080 put a bow on top without looking inside the box 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.320 to see what you got. And you know, I'm watching 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.480 the game last night, and all I kept seeing and 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.799 hearing was all the injuries San Francisco had, the injuries 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:55.799 Detroit had. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.600 I felt sorry for the guy, and I don't. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.240 See that when they do the Cowboys games. Nope, you 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.440 know so what that you lost six Pro bowlers and 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.360 one more that didn't go on injured reserve. That's what 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.800 I'm saying, Yeah and so, yeah, it's part of the 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.960 story of this season that can't be ignored. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:26.360 So and he did point that out. What do you 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.440 have to have different? 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.280 Well, I got to have my Pro Bowl quarterback on 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.639 the field, and I've got to have an offensive line. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:34.040 He goes. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.440 If I made a mistake. I assumed that we could 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.440 put young guys in on the offensive line and it 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.800 would just take off and be as good as ever. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.200 And he goes, and there were growing pains there. He goes, 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.920 I got to have my defensive ends that I lost 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.200 all season long, And oh what about the cornerbacks and 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.960 the linebackers and so and now the wide receiver, by 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.480 the way, and you had the other wide receiver out. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.320 For four weeks. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.960 No Cooks was out seven seven games at. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.119 Least from late September until November, right. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:15.640 From the first Giants game to Yeah, and my other 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.719 Pro Bowl corner missed the first ten games of the season, 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.680 so some of that matters, And I think it has 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.560 to go into his evaluation of Mike McCarthy. 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.240 By the way, that was also the toughest stretch of 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.000 the season, when Michael Parsons was. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.240 Out right those four games, and. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.799 Then leading up to last week's game, when after Micah 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.400 had returned, this team was leading the league in sacks 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.719 since his return, leading the league in takeaways. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.719 Yeah, and pressures too, by the way. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.080 And the schedule got easier during this stretch too, right, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:49.719 And it did. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.080 But all you gotta do even just look at the 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.599 quarterback position alone and see which teams have qualified for 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.359 the postseason, which we went through this last week. And 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.800 I'll quickly go through it here. Eagles, Commanders, they both 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.200 have their quarterbacks. I'm assuming hurts his back whatever, and 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.560 he will be Lions, Vikings Packers have their quarterbacks. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.400 And stop right there. Vikings had a sugar plum Land 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.919 in their lap. They had no idea Sam Darnold was. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.280 Going to do what he who used to be Baker 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.720 Mayfield's teammate in Carolina, and which gets me to Tampa 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.200 Bay has their quarterback, Baker Mayfield, and the Rams clinched 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.200 their division and they've got their quarterback, Matthew Stafford. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.960 And we could do the same process. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.920 And the AFC as well, where the Bills have their quarterback, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:44.799 the Ravens, the Steelers, the Bengals are still threatening because because. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.320 They because they have their quarterback. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.359 The Texans have their quarterback, are limping to the finish line. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.320 And oh, by the way, the Chiefs, the Chargers, and 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.200 the Broncos all have their starting quarterbacks. So there you go. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.279 And that's the story of twenty twenty four. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.239 It might be the story of every season in the NFL. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.400 And got your starting quarterback, you are still have a shot. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:11.479 Going back to Jeff Hostetler and the Giants Everson where 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.040 we saved Jeff. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:13.960 Let's there you go. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.320 We were special. We were special, and we're like Philly, 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.360 we don't need. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.800 And for those that want to point point out that, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.440 you know, these other teams with the Saquon Barkley over 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.279 two thousand yards Derrick Henry, but guess what, they had 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:34.279 special quarterbacks to play with them. And that factored into 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.600 their effectiveness. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.400 You've got that guy Cook is running right but off 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.640 of there and I'll come and. 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.679 It's definitely because he's playing off. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.960 Of his quarterback, because Josh Allen can run his butt. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.160 The offensive line has something to do with it, Yes, absolutely, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.840 which gets back to what Jerry apparently said about the 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:59.120 offensive line if he made one mistake, that is I 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.440 think pretty lairing HiT's depending on the young guys. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:04.960 Just assuming that it was going to be. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.280 But at some point, when you've got two future Hall 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.320 of famers who are in the last part of their career, 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.400 Tyron Smith and Zach Martin, You're going to have to 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.160 make that transition at some point, right, and this happens 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.120 to be the point where that was happening. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.040 And despite that, they had a running back run for 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.920 a thousand yards that had never been given that chance. 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.800 And you have to go back to twenty I did 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:38.360 this twenty nineteen last time the Cowboys had somebody rush 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:43.080 for as much as Rico Dado has, because while Pollard 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.120 did it, Rico's got like a yard or two more 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:51.400 than he ever had in his thousand yards situations. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.600 So you have to go back to z. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:58.240 Which but having said that, on the other side on Sunday, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.920 they were celebrating running back who. 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.160 By the way, but he had a running quarterback. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:16.520 But more importantly than the running quarterback is they have 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.400 an offensive line that is right up there with the Lions, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:22.520 the best in football. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.720 So the way I always look at it is the 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:31.480 defense always gives them another chance. Soarkley has always had 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.360 a defense to give him the ball so he can 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.640 run for more yards. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.040 Who was Dickerson quarterback that year? 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:44.199 Little shorting uh from from Canada? 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:48.040 The quarterback, short quarterback. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:49.640 You'll come up. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.600 Okay, I'm gonna do that. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.600 Short quarterback. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.120 So it was handed to three Rams. I'm not going 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.680 to put the year in or anything. It's just short quarterback. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.040 I misspelled Canada. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:05.520 But Rams. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.520 Let's see if it comes up here list of Rams 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:09.439 starting quarterbacks. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.079 There it'll be Doug Flutie or something. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.439 Short quarterback.

Nothing better than Jacksonville State. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.480 Oh, we were talking about the benefits of having your 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:50.000 starting quarterback on the field playing well for the playoffs. 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.880 So so last night didn't change anything, right. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.640 That meaningless Detroit. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.760 It was a meaningless game, right, except they knew going 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.120 in it was me except maybe the Cowboys won't have 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.760 to play San Francisco decks. 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.040 Oh yeah, so there was meeting because there's a third 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:06.960 place schedule. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.680 Yeah there last right now Arizona's ahead of them. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.000 Yeah, but now the Rams don't have to win in 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.199 the season finale. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.040 So San Francisco wins that. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.240 San Francisco has to play Arizona. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.040 Oh okay, they play each other. 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:26.239 Oh they played for the Cowboys. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.240 I'm sure that's what's on their minds. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.680 Well, the tie breaker is going to come down to, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.559 like I don't know what tie breaker is going to. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.560 Be, and we don't, but one way or the other. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.160 The Cowboys are going to play or San Francisco next season. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.520 It's a shame that this season. 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:49.280 I feel very good about our improvement, even though it 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.880 was over teams that were kind of martin them, you know, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.800 some teams. The Tampa Bay went to me was the 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.000 best win of the season. We really thought that that 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.960 had put us at least on a trend upward, which 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.960 I still think it's you know, we we can't ignore 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.839 our streak that we had. But at the same time, 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.280 I'm pretty proud of where we were versus. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.319 Where we ended up. I just have to say that. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.800 I mean, even though we did lose badly to teams 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.760 that were very good doing that stretch, but we won 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.680 against teams that were not so good. We won the 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.320 games we were supposed to win, and it didn't seem 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.440 as if we could do that when we first started 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:32.360 having these calamities. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.240 Okay, so let's don't put a name on just in 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:39.640 a general sense, if you were the owner slash general 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.439 manager of a football team. 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.160 A football team, a football. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.280 Not this football team, a football team, and what happened 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.840 this season, including the injuries and what you just said. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.280 The third to last. 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.920 Game of the season, probably the best game they played 0:13:55.920 --> 0:14:00.520 all year. Coming off all that, how would you handle 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.079 things going forward in terms of the coaching staff. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.680 As far as the coaching staff is concerned, I think 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.880 I would keep them intact and simply because you're not 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.520 gonna find anyone. First of all, I always talk about 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.240 the elephant in the room, and that would be Jerry. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.760 You've got to find coaches that can deal with the 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.160 general manager and owner that Jerry is. But at the 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.960 same time, you have to realize you're gonna have a 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.160 lot of work to do. If you're changing the entire 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.960 coaching staff. You got a lot of work you put 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.640 in a whole new system. You're gonna have to change 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.840 your If we be the whole new staff next year 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.680 is not gonna be good because it's going to be 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.400 an adjustment period. If we keep this staff and we 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.640 continue with the trend that we were on, putting in 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.560 some pieces, make sure everyone stays healthy. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.160 I still don't. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.680 See us as a super Bowl team, but I see 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.600 us as a playoff team that could go deep. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:14:59.520 That's just my opinion. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.080 And and and and that's the other elephant in the room. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.840 And I heard the question today or maybe it wasn't 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.800 to him when it was said, it's like, what do 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.880 they have to do to win a super Bowl next year? 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.880 I'm going how about playoffs? How about a division title? 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.840 How about just winning one first round game? Yeah, it's 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.720 not just look at the super Bowl. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.280 Well that's what That's why we picked the did we 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.760 pick a We picked eighteen? We didn't pick the Cowboy 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.320 because they only talked to us that way. So the 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.040 only way we are seen it's super Bowl up bust 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.680 every year. Now, that's the optimism you have from every team, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.080 but everyone believes when Jerry Jones says it, it's just 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.800 a difference. It's just a difference. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:52.240 So, speaking of making transitions like that, Mike Zimmer talked 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:57.160 about it yesterday and he said one of his regrets 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:02.240 was he didn't do what he wanted to do defensively 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.720 from the start because he thought he needed to blend 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.440 in on what they had done the year before. 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.160 And when we come back here on mix shots, let's 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.720 talk about that and more. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.280 Mike Zimmer. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.480 Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.760 of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel packages 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.840 with pregame sideline access and photo ops with current players, 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.920 cheerleaders and Cowboy legends.

So they come to 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.920 you boom, hey, you didn't make it, bough And so 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.679 we went to downstairs in ten minutes and I'm like, 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:44.240 it's gonna be a wow. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.640 Okay, we got tequila here. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:52.760 So as we transitioned to Mike Zimmer before Mickey talks 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.359 about what he teased just a moment ago, Mike Zimmer 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.360 was asked about Darren Woodson as well, and Darren Woodson 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.359 is for the third straight year a finalist. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:03.840 For the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It was announced 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:04.560 over the weekend. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.359 I just wrote eight paragraphs on that, setting up what 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:09.680 Zim had to say. 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.280 So would you like to paraphrase what he had to 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.000 say there or would you like to go on to. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.040 He said it? 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.960 I think the first thing he said it it it 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.000 he should have been in a long time ago, basically, 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.320 and then talked about all the things he could do. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.679 And my point now is, you know they list him 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:34.800 as a safety. He was a defensive player. He played safety, 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.879 he played corner, he played linebacker, and I was I'll 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:43.359 never let him off specialties. Unbelievable every year it's like, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.520 oh yeah, yeah. And then he found himself at least 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.919 the outside guy on kickoff. 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:50.800 Coverage and still like the. 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:53.600 Cowboys, and. 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:04.639 He led the Cowboys franchise in career tackles. Think about 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:08.919 the defensive guys in this franchise that are in the 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.760 Hall of Fame. He's got more tackles than them all. 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.520
