Hr Hey, we know 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.520 the thin line that you walked Jesse Jesse Jesse and 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:33.039 Jesse Park. I don't they love Jesse Holly the trailer 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.840 park baby. They know him by his first name, his 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.559 government as we call him. But welcome to the taj 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.320 Ma Hall of Football. This is the Players Lounge sponsored 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.000 by Aristocrat Gaming. I'm Heck Maharrison at the desk. As always, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.640 Newie Screwds is on the way, and as I stated, 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.200 Jesse Holly is in the building with me. Man and 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.560 Victory Monday twenty six, twenty four made it interesting yesterday 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.680 and from me because I haven't had an opportunity to 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.560 hear your opinion yet, I'm gonna tell you that I 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:05.160 left that stadium really proud of the Dallas Cowboys, proud 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.239 of the fact that going into that game, I said, 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.120 this is me, they gonna go ahead and lay down 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.560 because they don't have anything to play for. And you, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.480 as a former NFL player familiar with being on teams 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:24.160 where man, either we're going to the playoffs or we're 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.000 going home. In those situations, you'd like for them to 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.360 come later in the season, to come with there still 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.800 being three games left, right, So a lot of things 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.720 get exposed in that situation, especially with the way that 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.200 the season already been going. I figured against a Tampa 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.760 Bay team that absolutely needed that victory to keep pace. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.240 They would come in and they would smash the gas 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.760 on the Cowboys and the Cowboys defense with that vaunted 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.440 running game. You talked about those two guys in the 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.200 way that they were gonna run the ball. You talked 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.760 about the vitaves of the world, and how they were 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.160 going to be all over that offensive line and where 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.280 the warm, fuzzy feelings of this offensive line where those 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:06.120 things may have gone. The Cowboys defense and Cooper Rush 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.840 showed up in Arlington and they showed out. They pulled 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.200 it off, and it's not like you didn't have the 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.600 ebbs and flows. The defense came to play and a 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:21.880 guy named one Duran Bland. I'm gonna find out what 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.200 his nickname is, what his cousin nim call him, but men. 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.080 Something like that. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.760 And this is a guy man that we we really 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.720 went to the beginning of the season not really getting 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.680 a lot of him and Trayvon Diggs together. But you 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.680 see his value. You see how much that guy can 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.760 and paint it just it leaves so much to be 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.400 desired with those two being on the field together. In 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.480 Cowboy Nation just hadn't been able to enjoy that. But 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.880 Darron Blaird had a match up you talked about it 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.800 also a matchup with Mike Evans, and Mike Evans got his, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.680 but Darron Bland got his too, Jesse, what do you 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:58.400 think about the game? 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.600 Similar to your point, I thought, even even before hearing 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.040 the news of the Cowboys are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.120 I thought, you know, man, with everything Tim Bay had 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.520 to play for, they were riding the four game winning streak, 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.240 they were I mean. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:14.640 They were hot. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:14.960 Yeah. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.120 I thought Tampa Bay's offense, the way that Liam Cohen 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.880 calls that a lot of the pres and motions. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.720 And the bunches and the shifts and all. 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.040 I thought, man, this is the one thing that really 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.760 gets the Cowboys defensively to be a little bit off kilter. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.520 And then you started adding on the factors of the 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.279 playoff contention thing. Then you start adding the factor is 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.560 you don't have your green dot signal caller and Eric 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.839 Kendrick he didn't play uh in that game. And I 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.039 was like, oh, this is gonna beat when I thought 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.240 it was going to be. You know what I'm saying, 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.320 He's like, well, who's gonna like they either Damon Clark 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.680 hates them or they hate the Moon Clark because they were. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.080 Like both, probably both. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.119 And they were like, We're gonna go with Nick Vigil 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.760 and I was like, oh, okay. First of all, right, 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.479 and this is a guy who you know, he he 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.159 doesn't practic it's a lot during the week because of 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.800 the foot injury, so they trusted him enough to be 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:09.160 the green dot over Maris Lula foul and man, they 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.640 play with a bunch of pride. And I said it 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.599 in the previous show, Kudos to those guys. Kudos to 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.360 those men for going out there with really nothing as 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.880 far as the game standings mattering. But to them it 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.520 mattered that we go out here and we win the game. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.320 And I get that because winning, winning is the only thing, 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.720 right all I want to do is win. And they 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.880 went out there with really nothing to play for and 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.440 played a tough, tough, tough football game. And I'm not 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.080 into the he did it for the They did it 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:44.760 for themselves. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.480 I gotta I gotta talk to you about something because 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.640 the show we were on previously, you mentioned Cohen, the 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.680 offensive coordinator for Tampa. I wanted to argue with you 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.600 about him, and I did. I wanted to argue, but 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.839 I just I let it go because I wanted to 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.280 set eyes on this offense myself. And let me tell 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.400 you how much I agree with you and in his 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.760 genius as a play caller, because never at one point 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.080 in time in that game that I feel like Tampa 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:18.400 was off balance. They stayed with a hefty running attack, 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.440 and they also hit you with the hefty passing game. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.600 And oh, by the way, they still used Baker Mayfield's 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.919 legs when they needed to. I think they use a quarterback. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.640 Then you also mentioned that he's a gun slinger that 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.080 thinks his arm is better than it is, but thank 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.520 god he hadn't been exposed as far as his arm 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.719 is concerned. Yet he plays within himself well enough. But 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.760 I think Zimmer came with a defensive game plan that 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.760 nullified a lot of that. You basically saw a lot 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.520 of zone, a lot of they played off a lot, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:51.200 but when you needed it, he applied some press there 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.880 on Mike Evans, and I thought that was a hell 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.000 of a gamble. How do you think this secondary measured 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.039 up versus that receiving core that you knew there were 0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.960 gonna be some holes in it, especially in the safety 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.479 back half. How did you think that the secondary matched 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.400 up and how did you think the scheme for Zim 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.080 are also matched up with Cohen. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.240 I think what Zim did and is mixing up when 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.600 to bring pleasure because when you line up, the first 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.120 thing you looking for win number eleven, and that always 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:16.640 is a a deciding factor. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:16.840 Right. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.640 He is a force multiplier by himself, and that causes 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.480 quarterbacks at times to kind of rush their process and 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.360 not have a lot of time because when you look 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.360 at what what Liam Cohen does and his routes, he 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.200 is a layered Uh, He's a layer route caller. So 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.640 all of his routes are When I say layered, I 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.600 mean there's going to be a short option, and then 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.360 if you give him another second, here comes the secondary option. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.400 And if you give him another second, here comes that 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.560 third option. Or you know what I'm saying, developing. That's 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.520 a word of yes. So his layer developing routes. But 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.320 when you don't have time because your clock is going 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.160 off and you hear eleven growling and breathing down your neck, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.160 you're trying to get the ball off as possible as 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.720 fast as you can. And that's where you start talking 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.880 about out I mix. There's a good mixture of when 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.880 I press and him. What pressing does. When you have 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.160 a guy like Mike Evans and you have him and 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.360 Duran going back and forth, it throws timing off, right, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.480 It throws the timing off of Okay, my first read 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.480 isn't open. My second read should be coming open. Oh 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:23.040 he's not there, in which in turns closes the window 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.360 to my third read. See, I need my second one 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.760 to come open because with that action, is I'm gonna 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.800 get him the ball or it's gonna draw someone else 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.120 into that into that window, and now I can go 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.760 to that other guy. But when you jam guys up, 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.240 and I thought the one holding call to Duran Blend 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.320 had to get to him. Old school football, say you 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.719 got jammed up, my dude. That wasn't holding to me. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.920 And I'm fair when it comes to both sides and 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.560 calling the play. He jammed Mike Evans up all the 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.520 way down the football field. But it was a combination 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.960 of throwing timing off in the back end with the 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.400 press coverage and then being able to apply pressure with 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.600 the different looks up front and having Micah company being 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.559 able to get the Baker mayfield and having him get 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.920 off his reads faster than what he wanted to. So 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.720 it was a good back and forth chess match throughout 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.560 that game, and the Cowboys came away with it at 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.320 the end because they made a little bit more plays 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.880 than Tampa BA was able to make in that game. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.880 But I think the and I don't want to go 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.760 off key, I think the one thing that we were 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.160 not talking about enough in this game, and to me, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.560 it was the reason that they won the game, and 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.800 it wasn't offensively, and it wasn't defensively. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:29.920 This is a two point game. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.360 Brendan Aubrey misses any one of those fifty plus yard 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:36.240 field goals in the game. 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:37.240 He had three or four. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.079 Field goals in this game. He missed any one of those. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.720 We're talking, we're coming here. It ain't a Monday, you 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.400 know what I'm saying. It's a mundane Monday, right, you 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.720 know what I'm saying. And those are the things that 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.640 I think that's the special team aspect of it, where 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.520 you don't talk much about it, but without it, you 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:58.760 don't win this football game. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.360 You Yeah, yeah, he lose by one point. I mean 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.880 you bring up a special point, and I think special teams. Obviously, 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.240 it's the gift and the curse of special teams each 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.480 and every week, and everybody, guys like you that made 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.800 their bones in the NFL by playing special teams point 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.760 that out all the time. And also, you know, hold 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.480 coach Fossil's feet to the fire on some of those 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.360 bone head mistakes that are made. But when you see 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.560 a guy like Brandon Aubry who was stand alone and 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.480 does it, and man, what a what a treaty is 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.480 to have a guy that you know that can make 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.240 field goals from fifty eight yards. You turn on television 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.000 every Sunday you saw and that Commander's in Philly game, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.360 a guy that just I'm like, damn, we are spoiled. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:40.959 We are spoiled about. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.040 Like when they talk about that Commanders Eagles game, their kicker, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.640 I think missed missed fourteen of them this season. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.120 Yeah, and Brandon made fourteen of them. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.080 I mean, you're short, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.640 That's that's the determining factor. Yeah, you know like that 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.840 that matters, And it's always special teams. It's alway one 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.640 of those things where it doesn't matter until it matters. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.920 Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And my other thing 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.160 is is, you know, obviously in your evaluation of the game, 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.280 you being in the former NFL player and the analyst 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.760 Jesse Holly's on the Players Lounge which is with us today, 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:19.000 and you talked about the running game from Tampa Bay. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.840 They ended up having one hundred and thirty four yards. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.360 Speak clear, Bucky Irving sixteen for sixty eight, Baker Mayfield 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.360 three for forty two, but Rashad White three for ten. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.000 When you talk about those runs, basically you were not 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.800 being gashed in your defense what you expect. They gave 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.080 up and the longest run was to Baker Mayfield for 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.680 eighteen yards. But guys like guys like Nick Vigil who 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.160 we were just joking like who is him? And murce Lefoul, 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:56.800 your linebacking crew, young inexperience showed up for you. That 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.720 was a big part of this victory also. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.920 It was and that's when you're down as many guys 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.959 as the Cowboys have been down throughout this season. I 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.160 need contributions and I don't need you to be two 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.200 thousand Ray Lewis. I don't need that b we's supposed 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.599 to be, bwe is supposed to be. And then with 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.080 the plays that you're supposed to make, see Ray goes 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.200 and make plays out of his own out of his 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.920 space intelligence, beyond belief. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:26.640 Here's what I need. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:26.880 You to do. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.880 If you're supposed to be here, be here. If you're 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.679 supposed to, take on this blocker, take on this blocker, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.080 if you're supposed to be scraping, scrape if you're supposed to. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.160 When I get that, now, my guys that are supposed 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.840 to be doing their job is allowed to because I don't. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.600 I don't have the room they talked about during the game. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.320 They kept talking about like how Levonte David and Vida 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:53.120 Veya would play off one another and Levante would tell Via, hey, yo, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.079 stay at your gap. I'm about to go room, or it. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.400 Be vice versa, Yo, you go room. I got your back. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.080 See, when you don't have that level of players, I 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.880 need everybody to do their job. If everybody do their job, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.920 then we limit, we limit the big plays, and we 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.160 play the percentages and we say to ourselves, all right, cool, 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.840 we'll get down to this thing. We'll we'll we'll, we'll 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:14.959 ben but we won't break. 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:15.920 And they'll make the mistake. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.480 And I think that's what those guys like Nick Visual, 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.040 like Maris lil Foul and others, just doing their job 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.720 on a consistent basis gives you an opportunity at least 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:26.920 to have guys in the right place. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.280 Is that what you learn from Belichick being up there 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.360 with New England when you talked about that, Now, I 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.560 learned that from my grandma a long time ago. 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.200 The boy, do what I tell you to do. If 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.480 you do what I tell you, you be all right. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.160 You know what I'm saying. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.600 Grandma tell you that, Hey, when you get in this house, 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.480 lock that door to open it for nobody. I got 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.160 the key. Don't touch that stove. You will make your 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:46.679 pean of butter. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:46.880 No. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.600 But but I'm joking, but I'm dead serious as well. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.880 But yes, when you're in places like New England. And 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.040 that was the one thing that Bill Belichick was always 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.959 always on top of. He would tell you when I 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.920 when I first signed with New England, I sat down 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.240 and had a meeting, like I talked to Bill Belichick 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.120 and he basically said, here's what I need for you 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.040 to do. Can you do X, Y and Z. I 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.320 said yes, he said, fine, if you can do these 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.600 at a high rate, you'll be just fine. 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.240 And that's what he asks his team to say. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.680 I need I need all of y'all to do exactly 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.080 what I asked you to do. If you do that, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.240 we will find ourselves in a winning position. I don't 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.240 need you to go outside and do nothing else. I 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.160 don't need you to be superman or superhero. If I 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.720 say go from point A to point B, go to 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.560 point A to point B. Don't don't dip off to C. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.800 Think about D or you saw F go A to 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.000 B because I got somebody else going to C. All 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.520 y'all do what you're supposed to do. Then this guy 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.160 back here, go make it right. I've heard coaches say 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:56.840 you're not talented enough to improvise. Yet you're not there yet. 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.360 I never play the collegiate level that you guys played 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.320 high school. Dude, But I remember we said that just 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.200 one coach. What were you thinking, Well, coach, I thought 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:08.920 that's the problem. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:09.600 You thought. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:11.680 That's true. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:17.040 Don't think that's the that's the truth. Nowise scrugs back 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.400 in the building. I always love watching those. When you 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.600 watch those Sunday night games, you know, you're sitting there, 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.040 you're watching the TV and you see the Sunday Night 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.400 and then all now, he shrugs, NBC. I'm like this guy, 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:38.400 he's everywhere you turn the TV, struts watch So it's 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.760 it's so different man, watching it watching the TV live. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.120 I mean, excuse me. Watching the game live is so 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.720 much it's so much different from the TV. Yeah, man, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.440 he come in and walk in. You need to get 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.000 haze for walking in there. The Book of Integrity with 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.000 breaking the book, which. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.880 I was actually working today. I was over TCU. 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.000 They getting ready for the well, they got the arm 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.040 Forces Bowl ready for Arm Forces Bowl and Navy Oklahoma 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.680 boy Oklahoma to bell off, and then TCU was prepping 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.760 for New Mexico Bowl. So I had to do interviews 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.160 over there, so leaving forward because. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.000 They came late. They were late. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:17.680 Sonny got hi la, he said, ironically, and you guys 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.840 are playing bowl games. Nobody was really excited about for 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.920 tc BY going to the Mexico Bowl. So I just 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.120 I just thiged, I'm gonna. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:26.560 Ask the question. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.080 So as JP Richardson, a lot of fans weren't real 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.160 hyped about the New Mexico Bowl. What about you it 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.680 ain't gonna lie. I was disappointed. I thought there was 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:37.560 some better bowls out there. 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:39.000 There are. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:44.160 Well, since we wasn't bowling last year, we're here. Louisiana 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.920 got ten win teams, so we better get out here 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.520 and go do it. Do it because bowl games about 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.600 want to like you know, this is last his last 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.280 game anyway, like you know, at least you come with 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:54.960 some perspective. 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.040 It may not be what you wanted. 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.080 But last year you had nothing, nothing in the year 0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.520 before that, your last Bowl game. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:00.720 Mm hmm. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.840 Everybody take that sixty five to seven taste out there. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.280 Man, I'd rather have sixty five to seven and play 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.000 in that in that game? 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.119 Then what's the Bold Prizect for that? 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:12.320 Though? 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.960 What's the Bold PRIDECCE for the new Mexico boat? 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.960 I didn't you gotta ask who's the sponsor?

Heck, Maherrison's here. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.000 I'm late newie scrush, coming back up from doing a 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.000 little bit of work. So the thing that impressed me 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.639 about the Cowboys that they won from the standpoint that 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.080 Tampa Bay had the ball for thirty two minutes and 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.800 forty eight seconds, ran up a whole bunch of yards 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.199 on them, and the Cowboys could not run in a 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.800 lick average one point six yards of carry in the game, 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:34.960 thirty one yards of rushing. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.040 I didn't think they will win. I picked against. 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:44.199 Them to see them come out and play because I 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.800 was at the stadium and I was not expecting that 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.080 once you got they got eliminated. 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:50.720 I wasn't expecting them to go out there. 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:52.960 And play that way. So for them to lead from 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:56.000 start to finish. And who had these dudes winning on 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.000 Sunday Night two of the three games they played. 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:02.640 This year, Pittsburgh. Yeah, Tampa lost. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.400 Sam to see that, I see that. 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:09.320 Man, no again, like this is I guess that goes 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:13.199 in the file of just the unpredictability of what this 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.480 football team has been this year is it's been it's 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.800 been this toss up every single because I think we 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:22.480 were all on the same page when we came to 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.159 this game, was like, this ain't gonn this ain't going 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.560 this ain't going in well, This ain't going in well. 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.600 And and they they have the final say so that 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.440 that's the greater thing, right, is that our jobs are 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.439 to look at film and numbers and all this other 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:39.199 kind of stuff and break this thing down and come 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.640 up with some sort of hypothesis or high pot news. 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:44.320 So what the game plan would be like. 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.399 And when we go out there and then we go 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.199 sit some we go sit on the fat part of 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:49.200 our butt and watch. 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.359 And those guys have to go out there and go. 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.879 Well, forget what new we forget what forget what Holly 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:57.919 has to say. 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.760 They don't have to live up to this. They don't 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.000 put the pads on, they ain't they ain't doing this. 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.480 And that's that's the difference. 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.120 And that's that's that's the part that those guys get 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:09.200 the final say so in. 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.400 So Jesse Newey asked this question. I got to ask you, guys, 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.560 what does this mean for Mike from Pittsburgh. 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.000 Glad you asked this question, what does this. 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:21.960 Mean from Mike from Pittsburgh? 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:27.000 For me, Yeah, it means absolutely nothing to me. It 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:32.639 means absolutely nothing because here's what we hired Mike McCarthy 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.399 to do. Mike McCarthy was hired for the head coaching 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:40.200 job slash offensive coordinator job to change the narrative and 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:42.680 the outcome of what the other regime could not do. 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.480 And there's four seasons here he's done the exact same 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.680 thing that the other regime has done. First round exit 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:53.400 in the playoffs, not make the playoffs. This means nothing 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:58.800 to me. This proves nothing to me because your goal 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:06.600 was to get this team to the championship and. 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:09.240 You failed to do that. Yes, that's what that was 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:09.640 the goal. 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:12.639 When when he was hired, one of the things that 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:16.879 Jerry Jones said about Mike McCarthy was he has Super 0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:24.200 Bowl experience and playoff pedigree. And I also said the thing, 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:26.119 and I was a fan because I thought it was 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.240 going to be different. I thought it was going to 0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:32.680 be different. At no point in time against the good 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:37.160 Ones did we have a coaching advantage in the last 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.800 four years when he had to when he had to 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:47.879 be at his best against the best folded career. It's 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.120 the best you got, Is that? The best that you got? 0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.360 Is that the best that you got as a playoff win? 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:57.240 That the best that you got? Tom, Tom Ray a 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.280 lot of people. Man Again, it wasn't different in the 0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:03.439 old regime. O. Jason Garrett got one playoff win. 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:04.399 Here's what I would give you. 0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.800 Excuse me, no, no, I'm waiting to hear what you 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:08.200 had to say. 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:09.560 Jesse. 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:11.200 What you're saying is idealism. 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:13.760 Ideally, this is what he was hired for. 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.520 That's the idealism of what you wanted and what we 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.560 all were expecting. The realism is and you look at 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:23.119 this team. This ye had a GM doing GMing very well. Okay, 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:25.960 what about last year? Last year was twelve and five. 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.520 You had, you had the runner up in the MVP voting, 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.359 get your quarterback. You had everything right, You had a 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.560 healthy roster, you had good football players in that roster. 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:39.320 You you got your tail handed to you at poom. 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.439 Okay, let me finish ones point and guess what the 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:43.840 GM and owner said. 0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:45.359 Okay, bring it back. 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.520 He could have made a move, right, but he didn't. 0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:52.120 Okay, were there other people potentially out there was there 0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.399 someone available, who's who, who has won more Super Bowls, 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.719 who could have taken the job. He was available, he 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.720 decided not to do it. So the owner general manager 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.040 is the one who said, nah, I want more of this, 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.520 bring it back one more time, and then he didn't 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.240 get The owner didn't all in? 0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:12.399 Did you see all in? GM? All in? No, he wasn't. 0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.359 So while you can put up here and beat up 0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.320 Mike McCarthy for the idealism of what was wanted, the 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:20.960 general manager and owner who could have made a move 0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:23.720 last year could have hired Jim Harball, could have hired 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:26.400 Bill Belichick, said nah, we're bringing it back, and then 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:28.919 didn't give him all the tools that he had beforehand. 0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:31.440 This is not the same amount of talent. This scheme 0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:32.600 with Mike Zimmer is not the same. 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.160 Chauncey Goldston was over there this week talking about, Hey, man, 0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:35.680 it took it. 0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.760 We wanted to believe in the scheme. We tried. 0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:40.320 It took us a while to get there. When do 0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:43.679 you start to say, man, what are we doing here? 0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:47.040 I mean, this is a collective thing. As much as 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.399 Jerry and I like Jerry personally, man I'll be as 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:51.280 sad as dude when this man passed away, because he 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:53.679 Didne provided so much good content for me through the years. 0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:58.400 This thing has been Mike McCarthy ain't done it, Garrett 0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:01.720 didn't do it, do it, Parcels didn't do it. 0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:03.360 What's the comedy de nominator here? 0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:04.000 Yeah? 0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:05.680 What ain't changing? Right? 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:07.600 So? 0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.600 I mean so, so the reality is you kind of 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:12.920 got what you you You you walked into this bear 0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:14.480 trap owner general manager. 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:19.000 You think about what if Hardball's here? What the ballot chicks? 0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:22.080 These were available options, right, and you said no, No, nine, 0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:27.080 we're bringing this guy back. You make it so so okay? 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.200 Now you say all that To say what I say 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.159 all that is, if you fired it in tomorrow, I 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:32.879 don't think there's a better option for you that he 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.360 will feel comfortable with. Take Jesse out of it, take 0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:37.480 Newie out of it, take heck matter. So we're talking 0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.080 about the man that we've been around and we've seen 0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.840 and recovered and we know correct he's probably gonna come 0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.280 back with this one more time because I don't think 0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.640 there's a better asption for that he's going to feel 0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.800 comfortable with to do he ain't hired Kelly Moore. He's 0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.720 not gonna hire a first time guy. 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:57.080 So we're just we're in insanity again because we're getting 0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.199 ready to repeat what we just repeated with JG. We 0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.360 did ten years with JAG because and the only way 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:06.720 you run this back this is just me and if 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:11.720 whoever Mike McCarthy's agent is there's no way, Tom Brady, Oh, 0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.440 there's no way. You give me a one year deal, 0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.480 of course, so you gotta give me four. You gotta 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:16.239 give me three, four year deal. 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.400 It's gonna be it probably will have to be three. 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.280 Right, So okay, So now all right, so you go 0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:24.160 through seven years and what's you said? The common denominator 0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.440 is what? So what's gonna be the difference? What what 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.280 you What you have to have now? What you have 0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.640 to have now is what you have to have now 0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.880 is you can't have good coaching anymore. 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.160 You have to have great coaching. 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.760 You have to have people who are able to schematically 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:46.960 overcome the limitations that are set forth by the people 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.560 who are over their heads. And I think that's from 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:51.280 me when it comes to Mike McCarthy. 0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:53.680 He's just good. He's just good. 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.600 And that's why I'm talking about a competitive advantage when 0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.040 you go into these certain games, you don't. You didn't 0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.640 feel when he went up against the Lion that the 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.440 he that he had a competitive advantage from the coaching aspect. 0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:06.400 You didn't feel that way when he went up against 0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:10.640 Kyle shanahan or McVeigh or any la Floor or any 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.120 of the ones that we consider to be good and 0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:16.960 that you'll eventually have to face in order to get 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.360 to the big game. Right, all the names that I'm naming, 0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:21.760 or names that you got to go through unless they 0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.400 beat each other, that you gotta go through those names 0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.560 in order to get to the promised Land. And at 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.920 no point in time, and maybe I'm wrong, I'll speak 0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:31.000 for myself, I won't speak for you, gentlemen. I never 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.400 feelt there was a competitive advantage at that point. And 0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:37.120 if coaching wise, if I don't have a competitive advantage 0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:41.680 coaching wise, and I don't have a significantly advantage Jimmy's 0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:45.480 and Joe's wise, I find myself in this situation. 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.520 Again and again and again. 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.440 And I think what Mike McCarthy is as a play 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.880 caller is good. And if you're not going to give 0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:57.720 him exceptional talent, all across the board that will elevate 0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.560 that good to a higher place. 0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:04.360 Then we'll be sitting here and and in eight months 0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:07.959 and we'll be having the same conversation. That's why I'm 0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:08.480 saying that. 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:09.760 You've been having since ninety seven. 0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.200 That's why you that's why. 0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:14.719 For me, it's it's there has to be hope, If 0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:16.520 there's any hope, there has to be the hope that 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:20.120 Okay be fired by McCarthy. And then finally, finally, the 0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:22.920 clock is right one of these times, and the dog 0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:25.280 and the sun signs on the dog's bottom. 0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:32.440 And you go, this is your time, you Ben Johnson, I. 0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.560 Didn't did all the other stuff. I'm gonna go ahead. 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:36.520 I'm gonna go ahead and give you that twelve twelve 0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.920 million dollars you know. 0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.600 Liam Cohen, Liam Cohen, you know what I'm gonna give 0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:42.600 you that shot. 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:48.640 Bobby Slowick, I'm a so so tesse jesse. Look, so 0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:51.840 that split the difference, all right, because I think what 0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:54.480 you're what you're saying from a talent standpoint, I didn't 0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:57.000 give this guy a chance. All in didn't apply this year. 0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.880 You may have been in previously years, but not this year. 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:03.520 And give you enough all right, and it's for some reason. 0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:07.600 When talking to players, former professional players about Mike McCarthy, 0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:10.840 it comes down to guys saying him not living up 0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:14.600 to the moment. That's Barry Church's deal with Mike McCarthy, right, 0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.440 What you're saying for who? For what? Basically, who are 0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:20.400 you going to bring in to manage? Who are you 0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:23.320 going to not only just manage this roster. Who's going 0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.560 to deal with the front office? Who do you know 0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:28.280 who's been better at dealing with that, because that's a 0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.160 part of the job too. Then may not be dealing 0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:34.680 with Dak, dealing with Michael Oh, by the way, managing 0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:41.520 your expectation with Jerry Jones. Who else is I mean? 0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:43.800 And I said this before, for Mike McCarthy, who was 0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:47.280 I felt like being groomed for this position, for what 0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:49.600 he dealt with with Ted Johnson Thompson, I mean up 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:52.160 in up in Green Bay. He didn't pick his his 0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:54.880 free agency. He wasn't in that room for any of that. 0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:58.680 My point with Mike McCarthy is what he's had to 0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:01.520 deal with from an injury standpoint, The guy didn't have 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:03.800 a leg to stand on. At a certain point in 0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.720 this season. The whole team was hurt. And if you 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.360 expect the expectation after Dak Prescott went down. 0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:12.560 But what about when Dak wasn't here. They didn't play 0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.440 well at the beginning of the year and they had him. 0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:16.200 But you're a good season. 0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:18.320 You're not going to go back to last season when 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.680 Dak is the runner up in the MVP vote. None, 0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:25.440 you got your doors beat off when it mattered. You 0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:28.920 don't put that on your defensive cordat That team was unprepared. 0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:32.280 That team was when you're talking about unprepared, you know, 0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:36.720 and not ready to play game offensively, to stop offensively, 0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:38.160 to offensively to. 0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:43.160 That falls on the shoulders And where was the general 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.080 manager to make the decisions? 0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:53.920 Probably what. 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:57.760 I don't know. It's not okay, okay, he's on his jet. 0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:01.440 It was helicopter when you took the beating and you 0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:05.160 were frustrated and mad and other people around were calling 0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:08.760 for regime change. You could have did hardball begging to 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.760 come to the league, Bill Belichick, begging for a job. 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:14.000 He didn't do it. He didn't want to. 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:15.520 He didn't want to have to pay that five million 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:19.520 and for Mike to sit at the buffet. No guess 0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:20.520 what he didn't want. 0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.160 He didn't want Mike. He didn't want Mike. 0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:25.600 Now the China eating the unlimited crab legs at two 0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:27.360 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon. 0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.440 Because if that was the case, you're talking about a billionaire. 0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:33.600 It comes and a year million dollars or you don't 0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:34.800 know how billionaire is a millionaire? 0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:39.080 No no, no, no, no, no no no. I don't 0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:40.760 want to give up, but no, man, I don't have to. 0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.280 If you knew that this season was going to be 0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:45.120 the way that it is, you you think that he 0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.600 would have still lined him up for this just to say, oh, 0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:48.840 I'm just going to pay you through the end of 0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:50.720 good contract and bring another guy in again. 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:54.000 Now now you're asking for miss cleo fortune teller. Right 0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:56.320 if he knew, okay, no, he didn't know. 0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:57.480 In his mind. 0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:00.480 In his mind he thought to himself, you know what 0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:04.040 if I pay CD and I paid DAK and I 0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:06.000 switched some other things around. Hell, we were twelve and 0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:08.399 five last year with this, but a very similar group. 0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:10.800 Maybe this year we can get lucky and things happening. 0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.319 Agree with because the mismanagement thing is on him. 0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:16.440 No no, no, no, no, no, I one hundred percent agree with 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.560 Newie in the sense of the general managers. The general 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.279 manager that's always gonna be with the way it is. 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:23.359 What I'm saying is even in your twelve and five years, 0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:25.920 it still ended the same way. So there was nothing. 0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:29.279 So there was nothing that was going to change for 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:33.799 me in this season. And that's what I'm saying that 0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.879 from his standpoint is you're good enough to get me there, 0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:41.400 but what you do as a coach is not great 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:45.640 enough to overcome the things that you're facing and to 0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:47.520 get me to the promised land. 0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:50.719 And right now, I don't see another option in which 0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:53.600 they're going to go utilize that tells you or that 0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:57.960 I see him actually doing him doing, not mean that 0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.160 not Jesse. I don't s see another option that Jerry 0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:04.480 Jones is going to lock himself into right now that says, yeah, 0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:05.520 that's what we're gonna go do. 0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:08.760 So now it's just keep micing, deal with the misery. 0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:14.320 I'll give you that opinion next right here, right here, 0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:25.400 professionally brought to you by Aristocratic Ga Jesse Hollyskowboys dot Com. 0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:33.520 You gotta raise your foot up side, CHRISTI wiim break Yeah, 0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:36.840 not yet?

I just don't see his appetite to go. 0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:45.560 I didn't get anyone else, and once again, who do 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:47.520 you go get? Jesse you want to bring up some 0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:50.120 offensive names and some first time guys who have been 0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:50.760 head coaches. 0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.839 I don't see that you've played here. 0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:58.520 You understand that this is not just a football job. 0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:00.920 This is an entertainment plax that you deal with. 0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:03.759 I look at this job the way managing the New 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:05.399 York Yankees used to be out of George time. 0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:07.600 Man, it's what we just see. 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:09.720 Yes, what did we just see in the Netflix preview? 0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:11.160 This is bigger than football. He said it. 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:13.520 He said, this is a soap op for three hundred 0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:14.879 and sixty five days a year. 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:16.440 You're not coming here, and coach you coming here. 0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:18.719 I remember Christmas Sharp when he got here, he uh 0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:21.560 went went to lunch with him and uh and Dinnistman. 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:23.880 He was like, Yeah, it's a little different than Seattle. 0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:26.520 You know, it's a lot lots of stuff's going on. 0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:29.000 So you may have a practice one day and all 0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:30.799 of a sudden, practice could get changed on you because 0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:32.480 you know, I just got stuff to do. 0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:34.440 The stuff you were. 0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:36.080 You here with us that day when they had the 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:38.759 trailers out there for the Country Music Awards, and so 0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:40.520 they took up one side of the field and they 0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:42.480 had like, ohca is on the other side of that rained, 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.120 and then they couldn't go into the forts and it 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:44.840 because they had. 0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:49.160 To set up. It's different around here. It's the gift 0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:49.480 in the. 0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:53.919 Curse are Jerry landing during practice, It's the happens because 0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:54.440 he didn't. 0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:55.320 Know what time practice was starting. 0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:58.600 He didn't know time practice was so this is so 0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:01.840 it's is like you're you know, this is a different 0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:03.120 kind of jam man. 0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:05.719 So not everybody's cut out to do this. 0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:07.920 And oh, by the way, guess what, you will have 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:11.640 a collaborative effort. You're not getting to make your own decision. 0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:14.640 They're gonna they're gonna work with you. 0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:18.000 The one thing I get to do if I'm an 0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:21.680 offensive play caller, it's called my own place. Design my 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.799 own place. That's That's the part that I'm getting to. 0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:30.720 There's no one. No one realizes just how how big 0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:33.680 the tornado is until you're in the eye of it. 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:35.959 Right once you're in the. 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:39.200 Eye, I can't a certain thing. I can't. 0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:42.560 And I know that there's some other things when it 0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:45.600 comes to that too, you know, I know you know exact. 0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:48.120 But what I'm saying is I still would like to 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:51.560 have somebody that is exceptional when it comes down to 0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:56.520 designing and profiling the plays that I am able to 0:41:56.680 --> 0:42:02.440 call on Sundays when you talk about like we're in 0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:07.160 week fifteen and I was seeing things last night, I'm like, oh, wow, 0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:09.399 look at him using these plays and actually using them 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:12.520 to set up another play, right like the Cavante Turpin 0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:15.319 his first run he runs, that play comes right back 0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:17.600 to it again, the same thing, play action it catch 0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:18.160 bright coaching. 0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:19.799 I said, Oh, that's how you set up a play. 0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.040 That's that's the process of walking this thing down and 0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:25.440 setting things up, and far too often we are left, 0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:30.560 we are left our desires unfulfilled when the things that 0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:35.360 are happening offensively and my biggest the thing that I 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:38.040 stand ten toes down on is that I brought you 0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:42.560 here to be a difference maker, and the difference has 0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:45.520 it been made not well enough to that it's going 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:50.600 to get us to a place of ultimate success. And 0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:53.280 that's where I'm like, we gotta do something else, because 0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:56.280 bringing him back doesn't change the fact that you're. 0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:58.680 Still going to be who you are in the ninth inning. 0:42:58.760 --> 0:42:59.279 Players don't. 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:00.839 You ain't changing the play a game of the ninth 0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:04.560 in it, And so you give them three more years 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:06.520 or four more years or whatever the deal would be. 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:08.360 What changes. 0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:10.799 That's a fair point, But I go back. 0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:14.759 I don't think the owner has the appetite to go 0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:15.640 out and make. 0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.440 A change because they're not going to go to college. 0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:19.800 They're not going to bring a guy from college into 0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:23.040 this job. That I mean, if you think about it, 0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:26.720 that's exactly what you're talking. This isn't an entertainment business. 0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:29.200 That guy wouldn't even be able to understand or even 0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:31.600 be able to withstand this the media storm. 0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:34.799 Come on, we've heard that name, but we. 0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:38.080 Have we've heard that that name, and you look at 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.480 how sensitive this man is. Okay, you out in now 0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:43.480 La where they don't even really care the medium really 0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:44.800 showing up every day out there. 0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:45.000 You are. 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:49.200 I'd rather have Cliff Kingsbury than Lincoln Raley. What if 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.520 those are the options? Those are my two options that 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.279 you were giving me, and I don't want either one 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:57.040 of them. But if those were the two options, if 0:43:57.040 --> 0:43:58.400 that was an option, thatdn't get me. 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.319 Who is a play caller in the NFL right now 0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.360 that you look at their game and you said that, 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:05.160 I love that? Who's that guy offensive? Like an offensive 0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:07.920 play called OC Ben, Ben Johnson. 0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:13.400 Ben Johnson, Matt Lafleur. There's another one, McVeigh. McVeigh. You 0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:15.359 know it's McVeigh. Oh my god. 0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.839 McVeigh would be like, he's he gives you, he gives 0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:21.239 you an advantage. You hear a lot from the forty 0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:23.319 nine ers fans. They're talking about they ready to get 0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:26.719 rid of Kyle Shanahan.
