But I'm gonna start off with 74 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: the weekly interview that Jerry Jones did on one on 75 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: five through the Fan. I'm sure you guys heard that 76 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: interview where he basically and I'm prefacing that we're not 77 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: going to make any trades unless trades come to us 78 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: now claims. 79 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with you. 80 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: When you heard that interview, when you got that little 81 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 2: tip bit, what were the thoughts going through your head. 82 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 5: We like our guys. We like our guys. We we 83 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 5: like our guys, we like our football team. We like 84 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 5: our guy. That's not a good Jared voice. We like 85 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 5: our guys. You know, it's not surprising. I mean, we've 86 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 5: been covering this team a long time and this is 87 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 5: what they do now. Of course, since he was so 88 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 5: public with it, he might surprise you to do something. 89 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 5: But you know he's so public, he's so public, but 90 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 5: he might surprise you do something. My thing is this, 91 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 5: and I've said this all along, you know, be all 92 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 5: in okay, and I know you like your guys, but 93 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 5: there are things that you can do to improve his 94 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 5: football team. And the whole notion of it has to 95 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 5: come to me. And we don't want to be, you know, 96 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 5: out there aggressive because we might get took on the 97 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 5: deal or whatever else. And I'm worried about signing Michael 98 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 5: three years down the road. You've been having Mento super 99 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 5: Bowl in twenty eight years. Make the move necessary to win. Now, 100 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 5: the opportunity is there where it's right there for the taking. 101 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 5: The NFC is wide open that there's a deal to 102 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 5: be made, make the deal to improve this team. And yes, 103 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 5: I know Mike talked about on Monday about not looking 104 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: at other teams and not being motivated with what other 105 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 5: teams were doing. But the Eagles made a move last 106 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 5: year to get that j Brown. They moved this year 107 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 5: to get a Pro Bowl safety, even though they were 108 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: already one of the favorites, to improve their team, improve 109 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 5: their chances to get to the Super Bowl. There's nothing 110 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 5: wrong with that thinking. 111 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 6: I also think that you know, looking at looking at 112 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 6: the Eagles, even though you're not going up against against 113 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 6: them this week or whatever, you still have to you're 114 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 6: still in the arms race with them. And they're not 115 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 6: just doing at the trade deadline. They signed Julio Jones 116 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 6: last week too, which whatever is left in that tank. 117 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 6: The point is they're still making moves and being aggressive 118 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: to see that, and I think, I think you don't 119 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 6: know what the other team is going to be willing 120 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 6: to part with. I mean until you pick up the 121 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 6: phone and call them. I mean, the Tennessee Titans look 122 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 6: like they're just in a they're open for business. If 123 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 6: your running game is struggling, and if Derrick Henry can 124 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 6: be had for something, then why wouldn't you look into that. 125 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 6: That's just an example. But I think you're if you're 126 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 6: at this level that you claim to be at, then 127 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 6: you're not competing against the you know, the bottom tier. 128 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 6: You're looking at the forty nine ers, the Eagles, maybe 129 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 6: the Detroit Lions, things like that, and that's who you 130 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 6: have to. 131 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 5: Go off of. 132 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think that I agree with Clarence 133 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 4: that you know, we gotta you know, we want to 134 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: see them go all in at some point. They they 135 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 4: haven't done that. They haven't gone all in. They have 136 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: been aggressive, but but I don't think you know, no one, 137 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: no one really cares about the moves if they don't 138 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 4: work out, you know what I mean, if they if 139 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 4: Julio Jones doesn't play a snap, then that won't be 140 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 4: one of the moves that Eagles made when they talked 141 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 4: about it. Or you know, it's got to be a 142 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 4: von Miller type thing that the Rams did, or let's 143 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: see what you know, Kevin Baird did. Whatever if Anthony 144 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 4: Barr had had had ten sacks last year, then that 145 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 4: would have been a type of move. If Jason Peters 146 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 4: would have been the guy that started a lot of 147 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 4: games and all that, that would have been that type 148 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 4: of move. I think they've made in the neighborhood of 149 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 4: those moves, but not a big, splashy one. So I 150 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 4: think it's not against what they do. They just haven't 151 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 4: maybe gone to the level that that, you know, what 152 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 4: we'd like them to do and make one of those big, 153 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: you know, Amari Cooper type moves, because I think when 154 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 4: you look at it, that move did not work. 155 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: Now when you did not work good for them. It 156 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: did not work. 157 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 4: Whit White, it was wrong with him. 158 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 5: He should still be on the team. It would have 159 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 5: worked if he still he would still be on the team. 160 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 4: But it didn't because he's not on the team. 161 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: So it did not work. 162 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: It did not work. 163 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 5: But those are decisions they made. I mean, just like 164 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 5: signing letting you know, Seth Wilson go and let Mary 165 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 5: Cooper go and signing Michael Gallo that didn't That hasn't 166 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 5: worked either. I mean, but what I'm saying is I 167 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 5: hear you ultimately because down a team, it didn't work. 168 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 5: But they're the reasons why it didn't work. 169 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: Okay, well regardless, I mean twenty nineteen first round pick, 170 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: which was for a Mari Cooper is not on the 171 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: team in twenty twenty two. That's not a good pick. 172 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't matter if he's from. So that's 173 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 4: all I'm saying. I didn't like the trade. Would I 174 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 4: didn't like that trade. I didn't like the Gallopery sign. 175 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: I would have resigned Cedric and we talked about that too. 176 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: All all I'm saying is is I think Jerry looks 177 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 4: at it like Galloway that didn't work. I mean for 178 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: what he gave up and Roy Williams the receiver that 179 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 4: didn't work, and then you know, and now you know, 180 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 4: you go in for Mark Cooper and it worked for 181 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: a little bit and then resigned, but you know it 182 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: didn't mesh. 183 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 3: But why not take you to take you to task 184 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: on this? 185 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: Then if you're looking around the NFL, and especially if 186 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: we're just talking about the Philadelphia Eagles NFC East, right, 187 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: you're talking Philly and Howie Roseman goes out and he 188 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: goes and gets a free safety from the Titans, who's 189 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: open for business, And you look at that as a splash. 190 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: You think that that piece that Philadelphia added to an 191 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: already talented roster puts them even more over the top 192 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: when you look at the Dallas cowb as roster and 193 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: by position, is there a specific position room that you're saying, Jerah, 194 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: get on the phone because if you make this call, 195 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: I know we can't mention anybody specifically, guys, but I'm 196 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: saying there's a group that you said, but it's still 197 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: at the same time, Is there a position group that 198 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: you make the call for? 199 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 5: I mean, I got a lot of position groups. 200 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: Give me that that you make the call for. 201 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 5: I mean, what's the call? I mean, I think they 202 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 5: could use help a receiver, you know. I think they 203 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 5: could use helping linebacker. I think they could use help 204 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 5: at cornerback. You know. I think they can use help 205 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 5: a tight end. You know. I'm just just that's just spitballing. 206 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 5: I mean, but my thing is, let's turn over every 207 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: rock that's not just going to this and say we're good. Yeah, 208 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 5: and and so that's you know, so whatever that is, 209 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 5: whatever position is, certainly the Eagles needed help in safety 210 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 5: and and you know, they lost the safety and all 211 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 5: season one of the guys they picked up blasted min 212 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 5: season left and if they any see, and that was 213 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 5: in the Manta Madax got hurt and so it was 214 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 5: a hole there, you know. And and they need to 215 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 5: improve with Kevin ber going getting him from Tennessee. But 216 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 5: you know, it's they know their team, but anybody you know, 217 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: and so we can talk about who we think where 218 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 5: they need help. But I'm just saying that they need 219 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 5: to not just rest on their laurels of what they 220 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 5: did in the off season and say we're good, you know, 221 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 5: we like these guys and and go forward when you're 222 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 5: not turned over every rock. 223 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 6: I also think that you have to look at it 224 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 6: not just at what position you need right now, but 225 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 6: what position what can the domino effect be. So maybe 226 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 6: you look at outside corner and you think you're set 227 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 6: with Gilmour and Bland, but if you can go get 228 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 6: another good outside corner, then that puts Bland back inside 229 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 6: and then that has that upgrades your roster in a 230 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 6: bigger way than just one single position. So I think 231 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 6: you look at it that way. I think you also 232 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: look at the defensive tackle position. Obviously, that's been talked 233 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 6: about here for a few years now, So I think 234 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 6: for me, corner and and defensive tackle would probably be 235 00:09:59,640 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 6: the ones. 236 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, I would probably go for a running back. 237 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 4: But yeah, only if it's a situation that I can 238 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: get a guy for, you know, multiple years. I mean, 239 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 4: I'm not I don't think this is a team. I 240 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: could be wrong, but I don't think the Cowboys are 241 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 4: at the level where you go and and you give 242 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: up a couple of draft picks for a guy that's 243 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 4: going to be here this year and then after that 244 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: we'll see. 245 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: I don't know. 246 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 4: I don't know if they have a Max Schurzer type 247 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 4: and that's Baseball reference, but that's but that's different because 248 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 4: it's a different league. 249 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: I get it. 250 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: But you know, that's kind of for right now, for 251 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 4: this year, to try to go over the top. I 252 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 4: don't know if the Cowboys should do that. I think 253 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: if they're going to get a guy, anybody, I think 254 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 4: I'm getting a guy in the last year of his 255 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 4: first you know, first contract, twenty six, twenty five years old, 256 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 4: and going into you're gonna have to pay him again. 257 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 4: But that's the idea. We're trading for him because we 258 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 4: want to sign him, you know, long term after this year. 259 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 5: Nobody pays running back. 260 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 4: So while we talk, okay, well they do it, they 261 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 4: do it. 262 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 3: I mean, go get it. 263 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 5: That's the problem. 264 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: I'm not going to name any but if you have 265 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 4: a really a big running back, you have a big, 266 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 4: strong running back that's that's a bruiser that that can 267 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 4: maybe lighting the load for Tony Pollard because I don't 268 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: know if this is working out for Tony. 269 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 5: Pollard, like and he's done the last year of his deal. 270 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 4: Right, so you've got you got all kinds issues of 271 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,359 Speaker 4: running back next year. I mean, who's who's under contract toos? 272 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 5: Exactly? 273 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, basically exactly. 274 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 5: No, I just yeah, so we are running back and 275 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 5: certainly I think that when when when you look at 276 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 5: it offensively, they need a hammer and the running gain, 277 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 5: they need a mismatch tight end receiver in the rigi zone. 278 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 5: Those those are things that this team does not have 279 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 5: a need. 280 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: Right So let me ask you this guys. 281 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: As media guys, y'all had your week off, had an 282 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: opportunity to look over your notes on what you thought 283 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: about this team and grade wise just overall thoughts on 284 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: this team. Where are you at with them? As well? 285 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: This is eight f what do you what do you 286 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: great this whole team at right now? 287 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 6: I mean, i'd give them like a B minus. And 288 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 6: I think it's you're looking at it in two ways. 289 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 6: First of all, you're looking at relative to expectations, and 290 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 6: then secondly, I'm looking at it offense versus defense as well. 291 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 6: So offensively, I'm honestly, I'm just a little lost. I 292 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 6: don't really know what the identity is. I don't know 293 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 6: what they're trying to do offensively. Defensively, they've had some 294 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 6: a couple of hiccups after starting out real fast, and 295 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 6: you know, having these conversations about the eighty five Bears 296 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 6: and two thousand Ravens and all that stuff, it doesn't 297 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 6: look like that consistently. And so but four and two 298 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 6: is still foreign too, and I think you can't overlook that, 299 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 6: and especially I think after you know what happened with 300 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 6: the forty nine ers and the Eagles also losing. I mean, 301 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 6: you're not just talking about you need to be at 302 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 6: this level. It's relative to the rest of the league. 303 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 6: And right now they're right there with the forty nine ers, 304 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 6: they're right there with the Eagles in the standings, and 305 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 6: so I think I think that has to. 306 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 4: Be considered Yeah, B for me, I mean, and I 307 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: agree with that, and I've never been one. You know, 308 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: when you're talking about grades, it gets real tricky because 309 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 4: it reminds you back when you were in college or 310 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: high school or whatever. Because because the grade is a grade, 311 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if the valed victorian has never had 312 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 4: a B in her life. If she gets an eighty five, 313 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 4: that's an eighty five now she depressed, yeah or whatever. 314 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, it's still the grade, So it 315 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: doesn't Expectation to me doesn't go factor into a grade. 316 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 4: So I go with the B mainly because they lost 317 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 4: to a really bad football team, so that that that 318 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 4: shows me that you know, you have and you got 319 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 4: blown out by a really good team, so you're kind 320 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 4: of right there. You haven't beat anyone that's great, but 321 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: you've had, you know, some solid wins. 322 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 5: So yeah, four and two says, if I'd have told 323 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 5: you go into the season based on the early schedule 324 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 5: there were four and two, you'd be okay with that, 325 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 5: you know, considering the Jets, and you know, yeah, without 326 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 5: the Jets, that's not a bad start because you know, 327 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 5: but knowing what we know now, you know they should 328 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 5: be five and one. There's no excuse for what happened 329 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 5: in Arizona and whether they surely got blown out by 330 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 5: the forty nine ers, but you know, whether they lost 331 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 5: the closed gaming blog game, you know, that was probably 332 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 5: a game they probably were gonna lose. So they should 333 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 5: be five and one in my in my book, going 334 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: to this next stretch, uh B sounds right because of inconsistency. 335 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 5: And I hear you about you know, saying I don't 336 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 5: greade on expectations, but also don't great on the curve either. 337 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just it's how you look at it. Uh, 338 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 5: this team should be better than that, you know, and 339 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 5: they should have played better than they played. And but 340 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 5: but they're foreign too, so defensively, there's some questions out 341 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 5: there that they're not as strong as we thought they were. Offensively, 342 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 5: they certainly don't look like the team that we thought 343 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: they were going to be. And so, uh, the good 344 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 5: news is they have a chance to flip that. And 345 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy talked about, you know, September football, and he's right, 346 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 5: you don't really know what I've preached all the times 347 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 5: a week the week league people make these referendums on 348 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 5: who's good and who's bad. You know, based on what 349 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 5: we see in September, and and now that we kind 350 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 5: of got an understanding of who everybody is and what 351 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 5: they can do. Now it's really the time where you 352 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 5: kind of you see people can make differences going to 353 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 5: the October and the Cowboys have a chance to really 354 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 5: make a stand. They got fort knxus games at home. 355 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 5: They should at least go five to one in this stretch. 356 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 5: You know, we can talk about whether the should be 357 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 5: Eagles or not, but they should go at least five 358 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 5: to one in this stretch. Four next games and home. 359 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 5: They wasn't ten straight games at home. They have a 360 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 5: chance to win eleven straight games against the Rams. No 361 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 5: Cowboys team has done that since ninety one ninety two. 362 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: Of course, it's when they won the first of their 363 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 5: three Super Bowls in the nineties. But this is a 364 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 5: chance for really makes them hay right now. 365 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 6: I also think that it's not it doesn't always look 366 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 6: the same when we talk about that forty nine ers loss. 367 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 6: I know a loss is a loss in the standings, 368 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 6: but I go back to a couple of years ago 369 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 6: when the Cowboys open against the Buccaneers and they barely lost. 370 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 6: And now remember the vibe of the team around the 371 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 6: team was you know what, this was Tom Brady and 372 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 6: the Buccaneers was Opening Night and you're right there, and 373 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 6: it was very outbeat and it was very demoralizing. Mike 374 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 6: McCarthy talked about that last week and though that, you know, 375 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 6: they look back a little too much after that forty 376 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 6: nine Ers loss, and so I think that also contributes 377 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 6: to it being a little bit lower. 378 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 4: Well, hold on, no, because on you know, and I've 379 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 4: talked about this all the time, Nate Newton and I 380 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: go back and forth about moral victories, and I use 381 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 4: that Tampa Bay game, that first one, because you have to. 382 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: You can't say that without saying that they won five 383 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 4: straight after that game, right, you know, That's that's the thing. 384 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 4: So they did they use that to boost them, if 385 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 4: you're saying on the flip side for the forty nine Ers. 386 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 4: That's why I think that win against the Chargers was huge, 387 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 4: exactly because it stopped all that. It stopped Oh is 388 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 4: this losskit Alinker? No, it didn't, it didn't. They went 389 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 4: out on Monday night football, you know what. You can 390 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 4: call that home game if you want, but they went 391 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 4: you know into La and beat beat the Chargers. That 392 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: was a huge games the first time. You know, they 393 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 4: were averaging their margin average. The average margin of victory 394 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 4: was twenty seven points in the first four games. I 395 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 4: mean all these blowout games. So that was a three 396 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 4: point game. And that's the way you're going to have 397 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 4: to play in you know, get in December and January. 398 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 4: It's going to be those type of games. So I 399 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 4: hear what you're saying about demoralizing. But that's why it 400 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 4: was so important to beat the Chargers. Should kind of 401 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: stop that from free. 402 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 2: Fall in two things for me, one being before the season, 403 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: like you said, Clarence, you would have never thought of 404 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 2: this roster in terms of be talent wise because everybody 405 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: kind of assumed that this was an ad talent that 406 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: everyone put together. Now that it's played together, you kind 407 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: of have your questions about this defense, the running game 408 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 2: or the yards they give up. And also Tony Pollard. 409 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 2: I think you have those questions where you're saying, man, 410 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: how are they going to use utilize Tony Poler because 411 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: he doesn't seem like the player that you had when 412 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: he was paired with Zeke. But on the other side, 413 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: just keeping it real with you. On the San Francisco game, 414 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: it seems like that was two losses. It was one loss. 415 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: It felt like too, because everybody came into that game saying, oh, 416 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 2: this is a measuring stick game, and then you go 417 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 2: and you get blown out by San Francisco. 418 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, two weeks later they've lost 419 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 3: that good. 420 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 2: So you got to be asking yourself questions now about 421 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: a measuring stick game versus team that now has lost 422 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: two in a row. 423 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 5: Is why Jerry on the radio. You go back to 424 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 5: Jerry and the radio. He was even he brought up 425 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 5: with Samwiches a game, well they would have and lost 426 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 5: to Minnesota and their quarterback played well, and he pointed 427 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 5: all those things out, which is anotherwise. He said, they 428 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 5: want on the level of San Francisco, but of course 429 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 5: San Francis is a different team on the road. Those 430 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 5: two losses on the road. The quarterback, which I've said 431 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 5: from the beginning, make him play from behind, make him 432 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 5: play an a type game. I mean, he looks great 433 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 5: when things are going great, but no one put him 434 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 5: in a situation where had to play from behind or 435 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 5: play in the close game and make play as they count. 436 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 5: Ask him make play as the count He's not the 437 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 5: same Golden Wood quarterback. 438 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 6: And also, when we talk about measuring stick games, I 439 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 6: understand from the playoff history and everything that they had, 440 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 6: but it was early October, and just because they lost 441 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 6: big in that game doesn't have to linger on to 442 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 6: anything in November and December. And I always go back 443 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 6: to the Patriots got blown out against the Kansas City 444 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 6: Chiefs on Monday Night Football in twenty fourteen, and this 445 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 6: was before they had the whole second run dynasty all 446 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 6: that stuff. That's when break was done and Belichick was done. 447 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 6: They won the Super Bowl that year, and they came 448 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,239 Speaker 6: back from all that. So my point is is, you know, 449 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 6: in late September, early October, those aren't those aren't necessarily 450 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 6: those are measuring stick games from a team to team standpoint, 451 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 6: But that time of year, what what McCarthy's talking about, 452 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 6: September football, October eighth is still an extension of September football, 453 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 6: And so you're looking to what happens after that. 454 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the Cardinals game. To me, that the 455 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 4: one saving grace there is that I mean, you had 456 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 4: nineteen Pro Bowlers that I mean nineteen combined Pro Bowls 457 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 4: that missed that game from the week before. I mean, 458 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 4: I mean it's just you called an excuse, but three 459 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 4: Pro Bowl players on your offensive line that that was 460 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 4: challenged and Digs as well, and you know that's the 461 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 4: only win of the season. That's not a good football team. 462 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: The more concerning one was the forty nine ers that 463 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 4: you were healthy and you and it was a game 464 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 4: let's see where you stand, and they were knocked out 465 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 4: in the first round. 466 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: Because I'm just opposite, I think I think that at 467 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 5: the end of the season you're going to really hate 468 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 5: that forty nine as long. I mean that get Cardinals. 469 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm just saying, but but don't you think, 470 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 4: I mean, can't we see the reason. 471 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 5: We can't see the reason you don't see. No, no, 472 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 5: not defensively, no eventsively, Diggs had nothing to do with 473 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 5: the running game getting gassed. This is not a great 474 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 5: run support guy. I mean, the running game got gas 475 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 5: from from jump. 476 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 4: If they play the Cardinals tomorrow in Arizona, who do 477 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 4: you think wins? 478 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 5: I'm asking you Cowboys should win the game. 479 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: Do you think they win? Do you think they're favorite? 480 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 4: They won? 481 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: The last time you think that, I would have said 482 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 5: the same thing before last game. 483 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter though, I'm talking about right now. Since 484 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 4: you saw the last game, do you think they'll they'll 485 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 4: be favored to win? Yes, What about the forty nine ers, 486 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: do you think they'll be favored to be because of 487 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 4: what you saw? 488 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 5: Because even before that, I didn't pay them to win 489 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 5: the first game. 490 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 4: Oh that's my point though, what you saw against the 491 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 4: forty nine ers makes you think, Man, they're not on 492 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 4: the same level right now, what you saw against the 493 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: Cardinals sounds like a fluke. 494 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 5: I think that. I I guess I'm different because I 495 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 5: think that the forty nine game, looking back, since we're 496 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 5: all looking back now, was more about a bad day 497 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 5: at the office, you know, especial with the forty niners 498 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 5: where they lost the last two weeks. I mean, I 499 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 5: think it was just a bad dad they got. It 500 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 5: was a bad dad dollars and it could have been mortalized. 501 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 5: It was mortalized at the time because they talked so much. 502 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 5: They did talk too much. They put so much on 503 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 5: the game, and they went out and laid an egg. 504 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 5: But to me, the game that they're gonna be regretting 505 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 5: particialarly regretting at the end of the season is the 506 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 5: Cardinals game. I don't care that three office line was 507 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 5: out and Diggs got hurted.

That's 587 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 4: why that's why Twitter sucks. 588 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, what happened? 589 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 4: Thanks for joining the show player. No, no, it was 590 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 4: it was just something about it was my five hundredth game. Yes, 591 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 4: that's five hundred games, and uh and obviously I was 592 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 4: you know, a few cheeseburgers ago for me, so uh, 593 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 4: you know, it looked different all that. But then somebody's 594 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 4: got to jump in there. It's like, oh, all those 595 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: games and no super Bowl, which is not true. I've 596 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 4: actually I covered a super Bowl. I covered a super Bowl. 597 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 4: But I have never covered a championship game. I don't 598 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 4: know what the NFC Championship game it was like. But yeah, 599 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 4: but that's the thing, like, you can't say you can't 600 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 4: watch a game and go, man, great job, great job 601 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 4: Texas Rangers, because then it's, well, somebody in Orlington's won, 602 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So that's why I kind 603 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 4: of takes out of it because I know, I know who. 604 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 12: You know. 605 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 5: It does take the fun out of it. But listen, 606 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 5: and I'm a social media guy and I like to 607 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 5: get in those conversations, but these are all extensions of 608 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 5: other conversations. It's always about the Cowboys what they've done. Okay, 609 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 5: So yes, you guys could find on the game to 610 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 5: cover the Cowboys. 611 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: So you know, I get it. 612 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 5: You know, you know what I'm saying. The Range has done, 613 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 5: the Cowboy playing Arlington, you know, the team in Arlington. 614 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 4: So here's the thing. That's why, for the most part, 615 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 4: I stay off of it. So maybe this is a 616 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 4: segue to people that don't like the way the Cowboys 617 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 4: are covered in social media. Maybe they can they can 618 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 4: do things differently. I don't know if we're talking about 619 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 4: anyone specifically, Mike. 620 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: I was gonna go into Michael Parsons and how he's 621 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: dealing with social media right now on his podcast, and 622 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 2: Michael is michaeh. 623 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 624 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 2: And for you guys, obviously you come from new school, 625 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: old school generation. Things have changed a lot since you 626 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 2: guys first started reporting on this team. How do you 627 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: feel when you see a guy, a superstar like Michael 628 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: Parsons sitting and giving his deepest, most thoughts in front 629 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: of a microphone, unedited, without a pr person standing behind him. 630 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: Does any of that make you nervous? How do you 631 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: feel about it? 632 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 5: It's not a nervous issue because that's the way of 633 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 5: the world. They're on social media, that that's their right. 634 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 5: I was pissed off last week because he didn't talk 635 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 5: to us for two weeks, okay, and he blamed the 636 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 5: national media when he you know, he got that's why 637 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 5: I didn't talk to media last week, because how you 638 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 5: gonna punish us? True, because you mad at them and 639 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 5: then get on your podcasts. I didn't like that, you know, 640 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 5: because you know, do your job, do your duty. You're 641 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 5: supposed to talk to the media every year, every week. 642 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 5: He hadn't talked to media for two weeks he talked today, 643 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 5: But so that that was my thing. But yeah, you 644 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 5: got the I mean, I follow players on social media. 645 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 5: That's what you have to do. We write stories based 646 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 5: on social media reactions, and certain you can you can 647 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 5: when people things happen, people die, people retired, whatever else. 648 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 5: You can get quotes and reactions from players in real 649 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 5: time on social medi So that's the new game, that's 650 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 5: the new world. That's certainly what we're dealing with. 651 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think I think when you look 652 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 6: at what Micah does and how he uses his platform, 653 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 6: it's the good comes with the bad and the bad 654 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 6: comes with the good. It's whatever you how are you 655 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 6: going to look at it. You can complain about how 656 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 6: you know the Cowboys are covered or how they're viewed, 657 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 6: or the criticism, but the praise goes the same way 658 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 6: when it does. And so there's a reason why this 659 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 6: brand is what it is, and it's because of the 660 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 6: good and the bad. And so I think Micah's young, 661 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 6: he's twenty four or something like that. He's just kind 662 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 6: of getting an understanding of what this is. I mean, 663 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 6: we've talked to Dak Prescott about this many times, and 664 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 6: he knows that this is kind of what comes with 665 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 6: playing for the Dallas Cowboys. And I think you just 666 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 6: have to understand those things that, like, you know, you're 667 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 6: gonna get the good or you're gonna get the bad. 668 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 6: How do you filter those things and not let that 669 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 6: become everything that you kind of think about. 670 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the more that you react like that, then 671 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: the more bad, because I could argue with you that 672 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 4: you know, you get the good and the bad. I 673 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 4: don't think so, like, I really don't things. So I 674 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 4: don't think that that the the same guys that that 675 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 4: that sit up there on those national shows and all 676 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 4: that that, you know, I think that they want to 677 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: be Cowboy haters because they. 678 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 5: Understand they lean into that, they lean. 679 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 4: Into it, they understand that that that helps them. That 680 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 4: helps them because then it's like, oh, I hate this 681 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 4: guy Stephen A. Smith, what was he going to say 682 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 4: about the Cowboys? Well, he just won. He won because 683 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 4: that's exactly what they wanted to do. And I don't 684 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 4: think it's the same when they win, because what happens 685 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 4: is it's really easy. They go and beat the forty 686 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 4: nine ers, not forty two to ten. That would have 687 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 4: been different. But if we just beat the forty nine ers. 688 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 4: The narrative would be good win. 689 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 6: What happens that's well, that's because it's gotten stale over 690 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 6: twenty seven years. But if they won the Super Bowl 691 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 6: that that would be a whole different level than any 692 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 6: of the other thirty one teams. 693 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, but they haven't won a super Bowl. We're going 694 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: to deal with what's going on now, right, what's going 695 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 5: on now? And that's what people think. Well, you're a 696 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 5: deck I rarely get the narratives. I think their narrative. 697 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 5: I don't and I agree with Michael. I don't think 698 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 5: that they do it fairly. And I got into with 699 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 5: some beings people last week. Well it's the Star. No, 700 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 5: the Star had done. The Star is about the fans. 701 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 5: Had nothing to do with how a media person analyzes 702 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 5: someone's play and how they why they talk about this 703 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 5: guy with that guy this team. It should not be 704 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 5: because of the Star if you're being fair about your analysis. 705 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 4: But let me ask you this, do you think Bill 706 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 4: Belichick is going to get the Patriots where they need 707 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 4: to go right now this year? Do you think that 708 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 4: as a coach he can get his team up there 709 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,719 Speaker 4: because he's the greatest of all time? No, no, Well, 710 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 4: but he's the greatest of all time. But that's the thing. 711 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 4: No one says, well the Patriots and Bill Belichick, no 712 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 4: one goes through the past fifteen to twenty years with 713 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: his career and apply it to right now. Why are 714 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: we applying twenty years for the Cowboys and applying it 715 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 4: right now? 716 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 5: I was told because of Jerry Jones, because Jerry Jones said, so. 717 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, seriously. 718 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 5: It makes but yeah, so so again, like I said, 719 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 5: I I've been on this battle railing against narrative. I'm 720 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 5: not necessarily defending that. I'm reddening this narrative. So because 721 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 5: I got into it with Dan Alowski all those guys, 722 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 5: like I said, did y'all talk about the person that 723 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 5: led the NFL and interceptions in twenty twenty one or 724 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 5: twenty Did y'all do any breakdown? I don't know. I'm 725 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 5: just saying no, they didn't, and you know they they 726 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 5: did not do off season breakdown. Did not talk about 727 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 5: the interceptions incessantly in those years about the person who 728 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 5: let the legal interceptions? Only did it this past year 729 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 5: when it was that you know, just like now, who's 730 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 5: the interception leader? Jalen Hurts exact, Jalen Hurts and your 731 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 5: boy and Josh Allen and you know, they all got 732 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 5: eight interceptions and everything else, but no one's using that 733 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 5: as an indictment of their abilities and whether they can 734 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 5: get somebody to the super Bowl or anything like that. 735 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 5: It's just just keep it real. 736 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 2: But as long as you guys have been writing on 737 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: the downas Cowboys, that's been the narrative, regardless of how 738 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: it changes. 739 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: So who had changes. 740 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 5: It's so crazy because somebody said it's the media is 741 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 5: the one who says the Cowboys should win every year, 742 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 5: so that's why they get the grief. I said, no 743 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 5: one has covered the Cowboys longer than me, and I've 744 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 5: never picked them to win the Super Bowl. So tell 745 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 5: me how I as a media member who's covered the 746 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 5: team up closing personal more than any of you guys. 747 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 4: You are a legion, you know. 748 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 5: Just tell me how we the media is the reason 749 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 5: that we put the Cowboys in I've never done that. 750 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 5: I've never picked the Cowboys to win one super Bowl. 751 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 6: It's because everyone loops media and one. I mean it's 752 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 6: the local, but. 753 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 5: No leading media has picked the Cowboys to win super Bowls. 754 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 6: I'm sure there's people sitting up there in national meetia. 755 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 5: I mean, but it's not I mean it's I mean, 756 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 5: you go back to two thousand and six, two thousand 757 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 5: and seven, no, two thousand after they too during the season, 758 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 5: when they two thousand and seven, whenever thirteen and three 759 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 5: that the best record. People that thought the Cowboys to 760 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 5: win going to two thousand and eight, you know, think oh, 761 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 5: maybe they have a chance to do it finally start, 762 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 5: you know, But it wasn't like every year the media 763 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 5: is putting the Cowboys on the press the Cowboy a year, 764 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 5: that's not facts. 765 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: But here you are, like it takes you off where 766 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 2: Michael says, I'm not going to talk to the media 767 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: because it's something that the national media says when you. 768 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 5: And they're not real media. They're they're they're that's entertainment. 769 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 5: That's what I try to tell them, because I've talked 770 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 5: to Michael Shady, McCay, Jorge. That's not media. That's entertainment. Okay, 771 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 5: they're not that those first take shows. That's not media. 772 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 5: That's I mean, I'm media, I know media, that's entertainment. 773 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 5: They're not interested in journalism. They're not just in being fair. 774 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 5: They're presenting both sides they're interested in. 775 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: But then you take, but then you're segmenting something that 776 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: these guys when they look at it, enjoyed. Taylor Shady 777 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 2: McCay says, dak is that travels. 778 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 5: No one watching the show, so they say it, they 779 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 5: put it on social media, that goes viral. That's what 780 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 5: they're looking true exactly because no one watching the show. 781 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 5: But that that's hot takes. That's not media. 782 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 3: But doesn't it that's not journalists. But what doesn't it 783 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 3: work with? 784 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: Michael says, I'm not talking to you because it's something 785 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: that the national. 786 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 4: Out there and gets the defending. I mean, that's perfect. 787 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 5: That leads, right, they go back, they go back and forth, 788 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 5: and so he helps create their content. You know, you're 789 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 5: feeding into their content when you respond. 790 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 4: That's that's what he's going. 791 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 5: So like last week, it just frustrated me because so 792 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 5: Michael responds, and so ESPN did this whole segment the 793 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 5: first take sees all of them, the whole segment about 794 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 5: exactly okay, and then I Joe and everybody else is 795 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 5: doing this whole segment about Micaeh.

It's a freaking bye week and the whole 797 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 5: ESPN is coming from michaeh. 798 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 4: Andy And that's Jerry off to the side, going. 799 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 5: Oh, Jerry loves it, that's what. But he loves it. 800 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 5: But as as a media person, as media that's not journalists, 801 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 5: you know what that's that's entertainment because I'm giving you 802 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 5: what you want to hear if they ain't journalist. 803 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 4: But when we started, we started, you know, when I 804 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 4: started covering the team, I mean, you you never you 805 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 4: never showed that you you were a fan of the 806 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 4: worst thing. You could do one right, right, But but 807 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 4: where did it go the other way where it's okay 808 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 4: to be hey, hater, like that's okay. That's what I 809 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 4: don't understand, Like, you know, and it's not just stephen A. 810 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 4: It's it's it's Bart Scott, Ryan Clark, I mean, the coach, 811 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 4: the big coach, the yeez yes, I mean it's because 812 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 4: it's like, you know, if I'm related to Buddy Ryan, 813 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 4: I gotta hate you, just gotta hate the Cowboys. And 814 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 4: you know, it's just like that's just the that's what 815 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 4: it is. And for every Michael Irvin that goes the 816 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 4: other way, there's about ten. 817 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 5: Well let's see it, and I'm glad you brought Michael 818 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 5: up because I've said this. You can say what you 819 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 5: want about Michael. Michael is unambassly a Cowboy fan. Okay, 820 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 5: he roots for the Cowboy roots for the Cowboys. You've 821 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 5: never heard Michael Irvin hate on another team or another 822 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 5: player because of the rivalry. You've never heard him not 823 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 5: be fair about Jalen hurts about the Eagles because of 824 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 5: the rivalry. He just is an unabasketed Cowboy fan. But 825 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 5: he never denigrates and downgrades another team. These guys are 826 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 5: purposely downgrading the Cowboys and Dak and they're accomplishments and 827 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 5: what they've done and how they are because of the rivalry. 828 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 5: That's to me, that's the difference. You're not being Mike, 829 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 5: You're being the other way. 830 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 3: That's a great point. 831 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 2: That's a great point because if anybody has a reason 832 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 2: to be against the Eagles, it would be Michael. 833 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 3: He could do it the fan base. 834 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 5: Like Stephen Ay says, I hate the Cowboys because the 835 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 5: fan base, Well, Mike is saying, well, I hate the 836 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 5: Eagles because of the family. They booved me when I 837 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 5: was paralyzed. No, but he doesn't do that. 838 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 6: That's true, but as a combination of what both of 839 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 6: them are saying, it's also I don't I don't really 840 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 6: view that as journalism, Like I just don't view any 841 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 6: of that with any journalists. I mean, the stuff that 842 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 6: we do in terms of independent writers and stuff, there's 843 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 6: a there's a level of journalistic ethics that I make 844 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 6: sure to follow all the time, whether I'm talking to players, writing, 845 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 6: whatever I'm doing. They don't have to do all. 846 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 4: That, Yeah, they don't. Mike is gonna understand. I mean 847 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 4: that there's a reason why the phrase is what it is, 848 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 4: power of the press. Mike is going to understand that 849 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 4: if you're not gonna win the battle, you're not gonna 850 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 4: win it, and it's only gonna look worse if you 851 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 4: keep trying to find it. 852 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 5: Right And but the difference between Michael in the past, 853 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 5: when he tried to fight the battle, he had to 854 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 5: fight the battle through the media. Michael is fighting the 855 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 5: battle with his own media exactly, you know, so that 856 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 5: his own brand, and some people lean into that, but 857 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 5: ultimately he doesn't talk enough because he does it one 858 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 5: day a week and these guys are every day of 859 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 5: the week, you know, so you're not gonna win. But 860 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 5: but there's a difference because he has his own brand 861 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 5: to get his thoughts out fully and not be caught 862 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 5: up in sound bites or whatever else. 863 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 2: So clarience, there used to be a day when they 864 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 2: wanted to get some bulletin board material, Charles Haley would 865 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 2: have to come to you personally, give you a take, 866 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 2: and that would then turn into bulletin. 867 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 5: Board Jimmy John's after to call the radio station. 868 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 2: Exactly just headline. Now now Charles Haley has his own 869 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 2: podcast in the world is a better place. We're gonna 870 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 2: take a break with me back. Charles got no talk 871 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 2: about Michael in the comparacy between the two, but either 872 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 2: way he backed with more media. 873 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 8: After this, Todd thought it would be secure to jog 874 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 8: in the cheatah Savannah.

But before we leave, I gotta 945 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 2: talk about the team we're playing on Sunday at twelve pm. 946 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 2: I'd be remiss to not bring up the Rams. They 947 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 2: have a pretty big deal, the Ram, the Rams and 948 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 2: uh just hey, initial thoughts, initial thoughts on the Rams. 949 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 3: What do you think about the matchup? 950 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 5: We follow the Rams? 951 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, what's about the matchup? 952 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 5: The matchup that that Aaron Donald is the best player 953 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 5: in that defense. Nobody else in the defense line is 954 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 5: really that good control Eric Donald offensively, the two receiver 955 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 5: what is it, pooka pooka and the pookah pooka Pookah's 956 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 5: playing ball, you know, and and and you know, certainly 957 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 5: I don't think the running game is what it used 958 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 5: to be. You know, one thing that the Rams used 959 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 5: to be fuddling the Cowboys with all that motion and 960 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 5: everything they did, and they would gash them in the Yeah, 961 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 5: well they don't have to say runners, you know, but yeah, 962 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 5: they used to gas the Cowboys in the run game, 963 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 5: you know, with all the things that they used to do. 964 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 5: But it's the past game with Stafford and those two 965 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 5: receivers that you gotta worry about. But get to the quarterback. Uh, 966 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 5: this should again, I talked about it earlier. This is 967 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 5: a game you have to put in the bank. It's 968 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 5: at home, the Calvis one ten straight. You have a 969 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 5: chance to win eleven straight. You play decidedly much better 970 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 5: at home or the last two years than you're done 971 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 5: on the road. You look at the numbers this year 972 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 5: at home the rather than the road. I don't care 973 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 5: what the Rams got. Put this in the bank for me. 974 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 6: It's it's really interesting coming off the Chargers game. And 975 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 6: why that was so important is because I think you 976 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 6: finally played an established, top tier quarterback. And we've talked 977 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 6: about rock Perty. You know, in the right situation, I 978 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 6: think is good. But justin Herbert is well renowned as 979 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 6: one of the top guys, and now you're going against 980 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 6: another one of those guys. And I think the fact 981 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 6: that you have that in your bank, and I know, 982 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 6: I know Herbert missed some throws, but I think the 983 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 6: Cowboys passers being around him and in his head contributed 984 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 6: to some of that. So for me, it's stop Matthew 985 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 6: Stafford and you stop the Rams. 986 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to win the game. Like Clarence said, 987 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 4: you get me. Got to win, no excuses. It's one 988 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 4: guy on the injury report and he actually practiced in 989 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 4: full and one yay Timas. So if you're coming off 990 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 4: of buy, you should have some you should be well rested, 991 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 4: you should have you know, some some plays. Hopefully this 992 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 4: you know, we'll see if they got some different plays, 993 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 4: different things that they're gonna you know, look at and 994 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 4: self scout and see what they bring out, and they're 995 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 4: better look like that, they look like a better football 996 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 4: team than the Rams, and so you gotta go show it. 997 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 5: Yeah again, go back to we're talking about earlier. This 998 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 5: is a third straight game with your office is live. 999 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 5: Those Pro Bowlers, those all the pros, those Hall of famers, 1000 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 5: they get loud of this is they should jail. It's 1001 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 5: tiping to jail. Time to get the running game going. 1002 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 5: You should be able to start looking like your best 1003 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 5: right now. 1004 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 4: But if they're not there though, that doesn't matter. 1005 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 5: Though against a Zona, Arizona's one and six, get it there, 1006 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 5: one there, Arizona six. Okay, before we go, I started 1007 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 5: before we go. My problem with Arizona game is this defense. 1008 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 5: Forget the offense line. The defense talked about being the 1009 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 5: greatest defense on Earth, generational, generational championship defense. You can't 1010 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,439 Speaker 5: give up three hundred yards rushing. You can talk about 1011 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 5: the office line all you want to. They still moved 1012 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 5: the ball, They had opportunities. You can't give up. Every 1013 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 5: time the offense tried to get back in the game, 1014 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 5: the defense got gashed. Had nothing to do with Diggs. 1015 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 4: I get that. 1016 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 5: Diggs don't play the run like that. I mean, they're 1017 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 5: probably better get the run without Digs, you know, Uh, 1018 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 5: the defense. You cannot get gassed like that, the defense 1019 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 5: reach whatever it was that should not have happened. 1020 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 4: I agree, but I you know, I give if they 1021 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 4: get to play again tomorrow. I mean, the defense is 1022 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 4: what it is. I mean, there's digs not coming back. 1023 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 5: So I think the defense would be better. 1024 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I think that better if your offense can 1025 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,399 Speaker 4: actually get you know, get first down, to get moved, 1026 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 4: you know, get off the field. 1027 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 5: If you do, the Bears and the Ravens don't give 1028 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 5: up point against the offense's one dimensional. They got a quarterback, 1029 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 5: don't they want to do nothing but run the ball. 1030 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 5: They should not give up ten points against that team. 1031 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 4: Cardinals. 1032 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 5: Yes, that's who they want to be. That's who they've 1033 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 5: talked about. 1034 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 4: Being eighty five. 1035 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Yeah, that's who they talked about being. Well, 1036 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 5: I'm just saying, but that's what if you if you 1037 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 5: that championship defense, if you all the things that we've 1038 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 5: talked about, blowing smoke, and we're that team and we're 1039 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 5: this great defense. Because what they did against the jess 1040 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 5: what against it gives the Giants. Don't give up ten points. 1041 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 2: We beat this team last year twenty two to ten. 1042 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 2: I believe Week five programs, Yeah, with Cooper Rush. 1043 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 3: With Cooper Rush. 1044 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,720 Speaker 2: So this is one of those games, Like you said, Clarence, 1045 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 2: if you want, hey want everybody take you serious.
