Say it with your chest. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.600 No, and you are yeah, go for it, click it, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:52.720 fix it, but do what they do. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.000 I'm okay with it. Let's talk to We're talking to 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:55.960 Cowboys Nation today. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:56.520 That's what we're doing. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.280 This is true. We're talking Tuesday. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.040 I forgot yeah, dude to basically say it with your 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.360 chest Friday, but on a Tuesday and in a different name. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.280 So we're saying away with your fan, right, say it 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:05.880 with your fans. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.040 Trying to make it anything, I have no idea. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.480 Jerry Jones just said it with his chest on one 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.000 O five three the Fan, the flagship station of Dallas 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.480 Cowboys football. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.840 And it was a This was in Encore Patrick. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:26.960 After the fireworks that we saw last Tuesday. I was 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.560 very I think, along with a lot of the nation, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.560 was very interested to see what uh Sean. I wasn't 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.440 gonna say, Sean and r j r J was out today, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.079 what Sean Jerry Jones said on the fan this morning? 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.280 What did you take away? 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:46.560 I mean, apparently their besties again. Okay, that's just the 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.160 media though, That's just how it goes. I mean, you know, 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.320 part of Jerry's had his his spats with plenty of 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.520 individuals in the media. I mean, you can ask our 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.480 good friend Jane Slater. She will tell you. And then 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.720 you know, once once they passes, that storm passes, it's 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.040 it's back to you know, high fives and handshakes. And 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.959 that's what it sounds like it was between him and 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.280 the fan this morning. And and now we turn the 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.440 page back to football, thank god, because that's kind of 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.280 why I'm here. Yeah, if I need drama, I'll go 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.920 back home to Georgia. But that being said, the biggest 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.359 takeaway for me is the updates that we got on 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.040 Michael Parsons and and Doron Bland, which kind of leads 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.000 us writing the news and notes. So today, being Tuesday, 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.400 we're having this conversation. I said on yesterday, we won't 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.800 know any real traction on their updates until Wednesday, when 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.839 we see if they hit the practice field what work 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.680 they do. Did talk to Michael Parsons yesterday in the 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.200 locker room. Michael said that his status for Sunday against 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.880 the forty nine ers is still quote unquote up in 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.960 the air. He's rightfully leaving it to britt Brown Jamar 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.480 to make that decision. But he also said interestingly enough, 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.520 he said that there he was asked is there anything 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.480 physically that he can't do, and he said, no, there's 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.839 nothing physical he can't do. So that's a great sign 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.680 he's making progress coming out of the by a week. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.440 But Jerry Jones told the fan this morning that he, 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.080 being Michael Parsons and de Ron Blander probably game time decisions. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.040 They want to see what both of those players look 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.880 like from Wednesday through Saturday. So that's where we are 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.960 on both of those guys. It would be just massive 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.440 if either one of those guys can take the field 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.920 against the forty nine ers, and if both can, then 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.480 that much bigger of a deal. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.279 It would be huge if if both were available. However, 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.560 if you only however, if. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.320 You can however, if you could only pick. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.760 One Patrick Walker, who it's going to be the pass rusher. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.440 If I could only pick one, it's got to be 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.040 the pass rusher because you know, I build my defense 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.920 from front to back, and the more pressure you can 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.040 get up front, the easier it is to cover guys. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.200 So you've already seen what this defense looks like without 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.640 the second or without the defensive back in with the 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:57.800 pass rusher I have. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.880 But the the defensive end position is in more dire 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.920 straits than the cornerback position. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:05.560 That's a good point. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.680 So when you look at it from that, I. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:08.000 Agree with you. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.920 I'm just trying to play that you know you're being 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:10.640 because we haven't. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.560 We haven't seen it, but it also they could. They've 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:13.240 shown they can. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.039 Win the games without Michael Partisons. They have one a 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.640 game without Mike period. That's part of it. But I 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.120 still would rather have him back when he's a top 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.560 three defender in football right now, which. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.240 It'd be like if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers and you say, okay, well, 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.680 if t J. Watt was injured and high Smith was not, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.320 you say, okay, we got high Smith. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.960 And we got Hayward, we can go and win this game. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.200 But then look tunneled in the face and say, would 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.520 you still prefer to have TJ? 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.000 That's always going to. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.120 Be Yeah, would you rather have t J. Watt or 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.719 I'm trying to think of their it's a comparable. 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.479 Yeah, so it's I guess Mink and Fitzpatrick is an 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:47.800 all pro they have in their second area. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.240 That's in fact so, but it always for me, it 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.280 always goes to number one. Build it from front to back, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.520 pass rush and QB pressure and stopping the run that 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.440 helps you be able to cover better, shortens windows, makes 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.839 it more, make it easier. But then when again you 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.760 add the aspect of assuming, let's say Kayln Carson is 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.840 ready to come back, Okay, Well, if Kayln Carson is 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.880 ready to come back and you have Ao still still 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.520 out there, then talent wise, as far as depth is concerned, 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.760 you're not as pressed as you are without having Michael 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.880 or Tank or Sam Williams or Marshawn kneeling and you're fielding. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.480 No knock to those guys because they showed up in Pittsburgh. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.159 But there's a good drop in talent from a Michael 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.839 Parsons to a Chauncey Ghost, from Michael Parsons to a 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.599 Tyrus Weed, and even from a Michael Parson to a 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.240 car lost and a veteran guy. So if I had 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:40.440 to pick one, I want both both, both both b 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.600 O F f UM, both. 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.760 Of But would you choose Micah in that regard to 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.160 I would choose Miael hundred percent. You need to, Like 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.039 I've talked about even yesterday, there is no threat on 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.120 the defensive line. There's nobody that you're necessarily scared of. 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.160 There's nobody that they're scheming against. You can go one 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.080 on one against anybody on our defense and feel. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:56.520 Okay about it. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.680 As far as having drown Bland in the game, that 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.440 would be great. However, they're dealing with some wide receiver 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.880 death issues as well. I mean, obviously Brandon Ayuk is 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.200 out for the season, but Deeba Samuel is not looking. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:09.920 Great as far as health wise. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.920 Great player obviously, So I think you have enough there 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:18.200 at cornerback to suffice Ye through this next game, but 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:19.640 you definitely want mic out there. 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.640 In my opinion, I put it in high five last week. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.040 I said top five guys who have been missed the 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.440 most Number one, Mica Partison. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.200 So you really were playing devils? Oh No? 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.920 I actually yeah, I completely agree with you. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.200 That's Kyle. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:34.760 There you go. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:35.560 That's see. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.960 Here's the thing there's a lot of people. Let me 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.640 pull back the media curtain here for a little bit. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.720 There's a lot of people. I've met them at training camp. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.720 They're like, dude, like you ask like these questions that 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.360 are like it really seems like you're one way or 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:47.560 the other, and you're wishy washy. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.160 No, my my, like, my ground that I stand on 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:51.840 does not move. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.760 I just like asking provoking questions to my analysts to 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.720 challenge you and challenge you and challenge Isaiah because it's 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.760 better radio secrets. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.160 All right, anyways, continue with NEOs and notes. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.120 Oh no, that's for the most part, that's where we are. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.800 We're keeping an eye on the injuries. Michael Parsons, Lebron Bland, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.720 Kaylin Carson, will see if he can go, Eric Kendricks, Tyler. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:16.520 And Tyler got Tyler any severity to Tyler's Well, I 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:17.559 don't know of anyone. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.680 I don't know that it's a severity issue. As much 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.680 as it is, he was not one hundred percent. And 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.320 they looked at it from playing the from the aspect 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:30.320 of playing the long game. So by all accounts, whether 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.880 you asked Mike McCarthy, whether you ask Jerry Jones, and 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.920 they were asked whether you ask Stephen Jones, and he 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.800 was asked as well. All three were asked, does do 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.720 they believe the best five on the offensive line include 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.040 Tyler got and left tackle and they all said yes. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.720 They all said yes in their varying ways. So that 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.920 puts me of the belief that once Tyler Gottons one 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.319 hundred percent healthy, which could be as early as this week, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.120 he will pop right back out to left tackle, starting 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.000 left tackle. And you know, for for as great as 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.640 Tyler Smith has shown he can be at left tackle, 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.800 he also struggled last week against the Detroit Lions, so 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.560 it's not as if he's he's you know, kevlar in 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.240 that capacity as well. So the Cowboys are going to 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:09.960 put Tyler guy in back at LT one as soon 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.960 as he's healthy enough to do so, could be as 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:12.640 early as this week. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.439 Eric Kendricks, that's something. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.160 That you definitely want to keep an eye on because 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.120 the Cowboys certainly struggled. Shouts out to the mont Clark. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:20.840 He stepped up in a big way in the absence 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.720 of Eric Kendricks. But Eric Kendricks is something different For 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.200 Mike Zimmer in this defense, we don't know exactly what 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.480 his status is, but we do know that added time 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.360 to rest that calf and shoulder injury draws circle around 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.600 him for tomorrow's practice and especially Thursday.

We're talking to Cowboys 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.680 Nation for the remainder of the show, give us a 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.600 call eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.560 Chris Beam just let us know in the in the 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.400 break that when we went to him to answer the 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.600 phone line, initially he said, somebody answered and there was 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.360 just no one on the line. They could hear he 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.600 could hear us in the background listening to the show. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.920 But hey, give us another call. Try it again. We'll 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.720 see what happened. Happens this time around. 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.840 We'll start things off though in north Port, Florida, or 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:16.400 a good friend. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.920 Dylan on the line, Dylan, what's going on? You're on 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.120 talking cowboys some guys. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.240 I got my black rifle coffee here too, beyond black. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:38.479 Very nice, Wakey, wakey. I want to talk about practice, practice, Ye, practice, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:44.000 talking about practice exactly. So this is troubling, highly concerning 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.480 for me because there's one of two things that we 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.800 can point to as to why practices are going poorly, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.040 and all the players are saying it all you know, 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.200 the coaches are saying we're not practicing. Well, Mike McCarthey 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.520 is now changing. The practice is up and you're not 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.680 going to be good on Sundays if you're not practicing 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.880 Monday through Friday or Saturday or whatever. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.960 It might be as cliche as. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.000 That sounds, but either the practices were set up incorrectly, 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.880 which is troubling because that means the coach doesn't know 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.520 what's going on, which I don't really know if that's 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.440 the case or not, or in my opinion, there might 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:18.600 be a professionalism professionalism issue where guys just want to play, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:19.960 They want to show up on Sunday and just be 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.360 good because a lot of these guys do have a 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.680 lot of talent, their premier players, their positions, and they 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.200 maybe they can think they can just show up on 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.200 Sunday and just play well. And so to me that 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:34.080 screams young maybe not as professional as they need to be, 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.280 because to me, professionalism is doing what your job entails, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.680 and your job and tail showing up and practicing throughout 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.320 the week so you can play well on Sunday. So 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:42.720 I just want to get your guys Tholfs on that. 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.600 Yeah, I appreciate you, Dylan, great question as always, and 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.440 we talked about it a little bit on our show 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.440 last week when we were doing the mixing match with 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.560 Brian and Barry, because Mike McCarthy talked about it. He said, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.040 we didn't prepare the right way, which a lot of times, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.400 if you don't prepare the right way, that's practice. You 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.880 don't practice the right way, you don't watch film or 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.600 whatever it may be. We don't know what's going on 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.760 in there. But that also that falls directly on your head, coach, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.720 directly on your head coach along with the players. Kind 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.960 of like what Dylan's talking about. But there's a lot 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.040 of different ways you could go about it. Do you 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.119 think practice is a concern. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.679 For this football team. I do think it's a concern 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.520 for this football team. And I said this last week 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.159 when we're doing the mix the mixing match, and I 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.520 was on Girls Talk, Boys Talk, and I harped heavily 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.119 on one of those episodes with my concern about this 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.359 very thing because this isn't obviously, we only get to 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.199 see the media portion of practice, right, so from the 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:40.080 remainder of it, it's us taking, you know, phrases from. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.680 Mike McCarthy and michaemccarthy. I says, thinking practice better. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.000 And then when I stand next to Jordan Lewis on 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.840 multiple occasions in the locker room after losses, and he 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:53.119 says words like details, and he's frustrated because players. He 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.360 feels like players are not treating every rep in practice 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.240 as they would every rep in the game. When you 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.360 talk to Michael Parsons in the locker room and he's 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.200 saying things like, you know, he believes guys for the 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.880 most part, all intents and purposes. He's saying, guys feel 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.399 like they can just flip the switch in the game 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.199 as opposed to giving that same energy on the practice field. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:16.520 So these are phrases and feelings that are coming from 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.679 inside the locker room and the coaching staff. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.119 This is not speculation. This is not media driven, Dylan. 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.760 This is not you and other Cowboys fans making this 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.840 stuff up. This is actually a concern within the building. 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.359 So I'm right there with you, Dylan, one hundred percent, 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.520 and I see where you're going with the cal because 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.480 it's it's on the coaches and the coordinators to orchestrate 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.200 right to make sure that practice is being held to 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:39.000 a certain standard. 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.480 You are one hundred percent accurate. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.199 It is also true that it's on players to be 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.080 professional because you're getting paid to do this. Right before 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.600 you came to the NFL, you were a collegiate player 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.720 and depending on your nil situation, whatever the case may be. 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:53.840 Let's take it back to the high school. 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.159 Okay, when you were in high school, you were likely 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.880 not getting paid to play football, like, but you probably 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.639 gave it all in practice because you had something to 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.560 prove and you knew that that would translate over to 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.000 the game. Well, move two levels up, and now you're 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.920 in an NFL and you're being compensated at a high 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.160 rate to do that same thing, and now you turn 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.480 down in practice. So yeah, there's a little bit of 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:18.920 youth here, not a little bit, but a lot of 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:20.880 youth here that goes into that that maybe they don't 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.000 understand what the standard is as a professional. You don't 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.119 just get the check and say, Okay, now I've made it. No, 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.879 you haven't made it. You've made it to that point, 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.800 but that point is not the finish line. It's the 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.480 starting line. The finish line is Super Bowl championship. The 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.240 finish line is a Hall of Fame career. That's what 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.320 you need to be chasing, and you chase that every 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.560 single rep in practice. Not going halfway in practice. Well, 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.119 I just said, there's no such thing as halfway. 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:44.479 Crooks. 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.600 You don't go halfway in practice and you can go 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.719 all the way. Talent will mask some of that depending 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.679 on your levels. But as you start to get older, 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.119 when talent starts to fade and your fundamentals start to 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.320 really show what kind of player are you? So show 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.600 up on the practice field, show up every single rep, 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.040 and then that will process itself in the game. 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:06.080 So I'm right there with you doing. 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.520 Just to add to that is the changing of the 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.000 guard in terms of defensive coordinator. Do you we think 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.119 that's a big part of it because we're not just 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.879 pointing at the defense as far as like practice and 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.679 putting your best self out there when it comes to 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:26.680 you know, just practicing, right, I'm thinking, is it the 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.000 changing of the guard and the coaching tree this year 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.480 that has sort of emphasized this issue? 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.800 Maybe I think it falls on the offensive side too, though, 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.680 because it's got to be a lot of times, yeah, 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.440 a lot of times with the offense, it's timing, it's 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.840 it's miss miscommunication, it's missed assignments, and all of these 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.800 things are stuff that you go over and practice. It 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.159 may not be completely fixed. There's no way you're going 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.400 to be one hundred percent accurate in a football game. 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.520 Over the course of four quarters. It's just not going 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.399 to happen. There's going to be mis user's going to 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.800 be mistakes. But these are all things that you go 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:01.960 over and over and over and over and over again 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.760 in practice, even though you are given a limited amount. 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.040 Of time to practice in the middle of a week. 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:08.400 I think it kind of goes back to what Patrick's 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.639 talking about, and maybe it's in the in between the 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:11.960 two of them, because the. 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.200 Coaches aren't going to coach like it's high school. That's 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:16.680 not the case. Mike McCarthy's not going to go row 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.439 Micah Parsons in lines. 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.320 Not that Mike's of course, he's injured and he's not 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:21.640 even out there, but you. 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:22.119 Get what I mean. 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:23.960 He's not gonna take his old pro guys and he's 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:25.880 gonna throw him on the on the field and say. 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.120 Get me twenty like go run lines back. 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:32.240 And these are pro athletes, so at some point they 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:33.760 have to be held to a certain standard. 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.920 This coaching staff also they're pro coaches. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.280 They're guys that have the top of the top, the 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.320 upper echelon of coaching in this sport. To the fact 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.880 that if you don't know a scheme, if you don't 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.280 know film, you don't know what your opponent's going to 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:49.920 try and do, and you don't anticipate it to the 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.920 right way. That's why coaches get fired so often, because 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:54.800 it's the top of the top and the cream rises 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.919 to the top, and a lot of times coaching staffs 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.440 don't have that cream. They just sink back to the bottom. 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.560 Robert Solid, for instance, he's a great coordinator, wasn't a 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.560 great head coach. We'll see what happens for the rest 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.800 of his career. I'm sure he's gonna land somewhere and 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:10.280 have a ton of successes as a defensive coordinator. Again, however, 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.560 in New York at that time, he didn't do a 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:14.600 great job of setting his football team up for success. 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:15.960 So I think it is I think it's somewhere in 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.399 the middle of practice. Is your all encompassing problem. It's 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.240 going to be between your coaching staff and your players. 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.600 And especially when you hear Mike Zimmer say things like 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.320 fundamentals and we're entering week eight and your defensive. 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:28.280 Coordinators to training camp. 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:33.120 Fundamentals that fundamentals don't get learned in games, they get 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.320 learned and refined in practice. 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:36.600 And these are professionals. 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:40.080 So that means you're behind too, is we're two months 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:40.600 into this thing. 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:42.520 This thing to the regular. 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.600 Coordinator is talking about you need to get back to fundamentals. 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.959 And I think it speaks to the coaching staff too, 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.160 where it's like they evaluated it over the bye weekend 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.600 They're like, Okay, now here's where we can make changes. 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:54.720 They finally had a chance to reflect on. 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:57.000 It and see, that's that's going to be big about 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:57.320 this week. 0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.840 Right, that's the good news. The good news about this. 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.359 Oh I should say the silver lining here is this 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.480 is fixable. We're talking about what we are talking about 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.720 practice mill This part is fixable. We can talk about 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.360 will is the roster strong enough? Good argument? We could 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.760 debate that. We could talk about are you know, are 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:16.320 the right coaches in the right places. 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:18.960 That's a debate. We can talk about that another time 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:19.359 as well. 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:23.760 But when you talk about effort and practice, that's fixable immediately. 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.480 Just give it the time. Just give it. 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.600 I like the across the hall conversations. 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:31.720 If there's been one thing through the bye week that 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.760 has given me hope, it's the fact that Mike McCarthy 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:37.399 and these players seem excited Rico Dwell. We talked to 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:39.760 him yesterday in the locker room and the way that 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.639 he talked about the across the hall meetings, and he 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:43.960 outlined he said, running backs with linebackers, wide. 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.280 Receivers are with the corners. 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.560 You've got tight ends with the with the linebackers and 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.440 the safeties. I mean, there's a lot of different things 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.840 that these these guys are learning from each other this week. 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.600 And then Mike talked about it in his press conference yesterday. 0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:58.600 I said that it didn't feel like a bye week 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:02.000 around here. That makes me feel like there's something moving 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.600 in the right direction, even whenever it hasn't looked great 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:07.159 to this point in the season. 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.199 All right, One thing about McCarthy, and I'll say this 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.000 before we go to the news day. McCarthy coming out 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:13.639 of bie weeks in the regular season. 0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:14.000 Twelve and five. 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.159 Yeah, there you go, been pretty good. Uh. 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.960 Ab from Redondo Beach, California, which I looked up on 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:23.520 a map. It's just like southwest of Los Angeles, like 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:28.120 right on the coast right Ab. Yes, sir, How how 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.160 far if you were to just walk out your front 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:31.600 door right now, how long would it. 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:32.600 Take for you to hit sand? 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:34.720 Uh? 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:41.320 Well forty five minutes. Oh really walking? Yeah about driving 0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:42.640 about Okay, so. 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.399 You're a little bit further out. I thought you were 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:44.920 going to be like. 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.560 Right on mus on the water, as Josh would be. 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.800 Yeah, Josh would be like like Penthouse, right Josh. 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.800 Yeah, Yeah, you drive off the balcony and you hit someone. 0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:56.040 I love it. That's the idea. 0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:56.440 AB. 0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.200 What's on your mind, my friend? You're on talking Cowboys. 0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:03.360 Well, fixes would be to swap out the coordinators. 0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.840 Okay, and how how would you make that adjustment? 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:06.080 Now? 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.760 Well, I mean, unfortunately you can't do much. But I 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:15.520 would do al Harris and I would do Schottenheimer. You know, 0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:18.359 I know people talk, I mean McCartney, I mean McCarthy, 0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:22.320 you know, even in Green Bay. You know, you know 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:24.120 the reason why he left green you know he got 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:26.760 fired from Green Bay was because his offense got stagnant 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:30.800 and stale. And it's the same thing now. And you know, 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:31.440 we talked. 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.400 About last year how they had. 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.840 The number one scoring offense. But you know, doron Bland, 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:40.680 if you think about it, he accounted for two points 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.000 a game. If you you know his six touchdowns, if 0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:46.879 he averaged over the seventeen games he averaged he counted 0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:50.040 for two points a game. You know, I just think 0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:54.639 that McCarthy. You know, he's a good coach overall, but 0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.840 I don't think his play calling is up to par anymore. 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:01.360 And you know, I love Zimmer, but the same thing. 0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:05.200 I think they're both I hate to say over to hill, 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:08.119 but somewhat like over the hill. And I mean with 0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:11.439 the modern they're not up with the modern NFL or 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:17.200 the modern play calling. You know, he can't. I mean 0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.640 even Zimmer can't fix the whole problem with the San 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.760 Francisco type motions and stuff like that. And McCarthy, I 0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:27.879 don't understand why he doesn't adapt some of that stuff, 0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.959 since he sees how effective that it is against his defense, 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:35.040 why he doesn't, you know, adapt that into the Cowboys. 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:39.080 Hoppins Now, great point, great point, ab. We appreciate the 0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.560 call as always. And by the way, while you're out there, 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.360 you're not too far from Oxnard, California, so come say 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:46.200 hi whenever. 0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:46.520 You're out there. 0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.480 He brings up a great point in terms of the 0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:52.680 play calling, and he said switch out the coordinators. 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.720 I think he meant switch the play calling. 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:57.639 And give those duties to Al Harris, give those duties 0:26:57.640 --> 0:26:59.679 to Schottenheimer because he said that you can't really do 0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:01.879 much right now in twenty twenty four, but that is 0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:02.719 one thing you can do. 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:05.480 You can't really fire your defensive coordinator. You can't. 0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.360 But I don't think that's anything that we're calling for 0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.000 here yet. 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:14.000 I would have pause, and the only reason being. 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:16.159 Is that those two guys at least have experience on 0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:18.880 their side, and they've been around and they've adjusted through 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:21.719 the course of a sixteen game, seventeen game now season. 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.240 I would trust the fact that a turnaround would come 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:31.119 more efficiently with Mike McCarthy and Mike Zimmer as your 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.600 play callers because of the experience that they have, as 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:36.600 opposed to Brian Schottenheimer and Al Harris, who are still 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.000 in the building, who still have input on what is 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:43.080 already happening in the building and haven't had that play 0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:46.880 calling experience on their backbone. I would love to see 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:49.240 those guys get an opportunity. Don't get me wrong, because 0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:53.120 I think they're both great, but just in this current environment, 0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.199 in this current situation with the Cowboys, I don't think 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:56.280 I would do anything. 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.680 No, and Mike Zimmer's on a one year deal as 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.760 is my McCarthy at this point, and I think the 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.159 trust is there with Mike Zimmer he came into, you know, 0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:08.639 a tough hand. He was dealta to a tough hand 0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:10.760 when he came to the Cowboys because this is not 0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:14.680 the defensive personnel that he likes to run. Granted they 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.160 try to help implement that, but you've dealt with a. 0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:17.920 Lot of injuries too. 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:21.960 I don't think a lot of the blame can necessarily 0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.119 go on Mike Zibber because of the hand he's been 0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.480 dealt so far and the injuries, and not to make excuses, 0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:31.960 but to me, obviously it lies in the offense. 0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:35.000 And it's not an excuse, it's a reason exactly right, 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:37.719 it's part of I mean, yeah, it's the facts are 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:38.080 the facts. 0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:39.640 The science of the science when you don't have the 0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:40.360 pass ushers. 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:47.640 Oh yeah, I know, no he said it, it happened. 0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:47.920 Wow. 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.280 The science is the science, and the fact that you're 0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:53.480 missing four of your top five yes, science, I know, 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:55.720 darn it. 0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:59.680 For me looking at it from an offensive standpoint, first, 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:03.080 when it comes to Mike McCarthy, I've seen and you 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.520 know he he makes a great point. This is an 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.400 offense that has led the League, it's been number one, right. 0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:10.320 And I also love the fact that he brought up 0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:13.120 the Deron Blank contribution to the scoreboard. That tells me 0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.640 that this guy knows ball. He also knows science. Good 0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:20.080 stuff there. But what I'm seeing are ebbs and flows 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:25.280 in McCarthy's offense. And when it's flowing, man, it is flowing. 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.320 I mean the damn breaks and they are racking up points. 0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:31.960 But when you're going through an EBB, and typically you 0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.240 start to dissect why's this happening? Then you could say 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:35.800 things like Dak and See they are not on the 0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:39.600 same page. The blocking up front has just not been there. 0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:42.480 And again not excuses but reasons, right, And then you 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.600 start to wonder, well, if Dak and Seed were on 0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.720 the same page for four quarters, and if the blocking 0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:51.000 up front was sufficient for the run game to take effect, 0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:53.560 would we be in a flow versus an EBB? 0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:54.160 Right? 0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.840 So I say that to say I've seen Mike McCarthy's 0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:58.400 offense and pre snap motion as well. 0:29:58.440 --> 0:29:59.800 We talk a lot about pre snap motion. 0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.720 He went from when he first came into the Cowboys 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:04.959 outfit McCarthy did there was not a lot of pre 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.280 snap motion, and he was railed against for that, and 0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:11.240 then he revamped his analytics team and then you started 0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.720 to see more pre snap motion. And last year he 0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.920 did a ton of pre snap motion. But you've kind 0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.120 of seen it turn down this year up to this 0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.200 bye week. What if that gets turned back up. 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:20.840 I say that to. 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.360 Say, he's shown me he can cook up when everything 0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:26.560 is firing. So I'm going to say, let me see 0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:28.200 if he can cook up coming out of the bye week, 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.560 because we talked about how good his teams do coming 0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:33.600 out of a bye week. Defensively speaking, it's a different 0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.080 situation because in the off season I was one of 0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:39.160 the biggest advocates of Al Harris taking on the defensive 0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:41.760 coordinator position. I could not be higher on Al Harris 0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:45.160 than I have been since he's coming to Dallas. But 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:47.840 if you're talking about a mid season change in duties, 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:51.560 I think for a first time coordinator, which which is 0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.600 what Al Harris would be, you need an off season. 0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:54.000 Yep. 0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:55.600 You need an off season of prep. You need an 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.880 off season of getting the personnel that you want to 0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:00.880 run this type of system you want. You can't do 0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:05.800 that in week eight for a first time defensive coordinator. 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.200 What I would like to see and kind of qualify 0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:11.239 this by saying, we don't know how much input El 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.880 Harris has with Mike Zimmer versus not at all, So 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.440 we don't know. There's a possibility that Mike Zimmer is 0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:19.960 sitting right next to El Harris when he's building the 0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:23.440 game plan for any respective week. Quite possible. If that's 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.040 the case, wonderful, Maybe turn it up a notch. I 0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.440 don't know, So we don't know whose hands are dirtier there. 0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:32.520 But of course, because Zimmer is the coordinator, just like 0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.600 McCarthy is the head coach, title, the title with the 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.680 title comes to blame, just like with the title comes 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.959 to praise. Less of the latter, more of the former 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:41.800 in Dallas. 0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:43.880 But nonetheless, I think, especially if you're the head coach 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:45.880 who was also the play caller, I think that the 0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:46.640 spotlight is on that. 0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:49.200 Yeah, so we don't know how much input, and we 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.000 know that he has input, but we don't know how 0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:54.480 much input Schottenheimer has with McCarthy. We know that they 0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:56.920 sit down with Dak every single week and they come 0:31:56.960 --> 0:31:57.720 up with a game play. 0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:00.000 Is that what's that scale? Right? 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:04.360 That scale twenty percent deck and thirty percent shoddy and 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.120 fifty percent, Mike, or is that more forty percent? 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:07.360 Might? 0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.960 We don't know what the percentages are there. So because 0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:13.959 we don't know, we don't know if handing over duties 0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:16.920 completely the Schottenheimer is much different than what they're doing 0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:18.640 right now anyway. 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:20.120 So it's week eight, they're coming out of the by. 0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:22.720 If this team doesn't cook up like we have seen 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.080 them cook up on the McCarthy era after the bye, 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:26.760 then we revisit this conversation. 0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:31.280 Yeah, all right, there's a lot to digest there. Let's 0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:32.120 take a deep breath. 0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:32.960 Call is a killing it? 0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:36.920 So, yeah, there are two great callers, two great callers already. 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.600 When we come back, though, we've got two more great 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:42.880 callers on the line after the break, more talking cowboys 0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:44.000 than a talking Tuesday. 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.080 Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to 0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.520 jog in the Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big 0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:52.920 cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

All Right, 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.360 we've got some callers on the line. 0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:32.800 More Talking Tuesday, continuing on eight eight, eight eight five five. 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:33.759 Two two nine seven. 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:37.120 Let's go out to Phoenix, Arizona where Allen is on 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:38.279 the line, and Arizonia. 0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:39.160 What's going on? 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.240 Oh knowing, guys doing great, doing great, excellent. 0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:45.400 What's your what's your fix it all button? 0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:47.960 For the Dallas Cowboys. One move that could fix the 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:49.160 twenty twenty four season. 0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:52.680 You know, honestly, it all starts with DAK and CD. 0:35:52.840 --> 0:35:55.400 I feel like because the big going, you know, the 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:57.640 defense has to start respecting TD a lot more. I 0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:00.719 mean not that they don't already, but you know, they 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:04.040 start cooking. Then the running game opens up and you 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.600 know all the other you know, receiver two, receiver three 0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:10.759 start opening up, and yeah, I just feel like if 0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.880 they start cooking, everything starts cooking. You know, defense, I 0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:17.520 believe in like Zimmer honestly, and you know, these injuries 0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:22.839 they don't help at all. But you know, just the the. 0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:23.359 Card you're dealt with. 0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:25.239 You know, it is the cards you're dealt with. 0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:29.839 Alan appreciate the call as always, and that brings up. 0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:32.360 Two good points. One, there still needs to be the 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.360 belief in Mike Zimmer. We were talking about it on 0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:39.520 this show previously. Is Zimmer. He's still Zimmer. He didn't change. 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:41.759 He just hasn't had a ton of success right now. 0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:43.880 Whether that's because of the injuries, because of the personnel, 0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:46.440 because of the system, whatever it may be. There just 0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:49.360 hasn't been a ton of success. But flipping to the offense, 0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:53.680 it does start with DAK and CD. Always that's where 0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:58.640 the paychecks begin. Yes, that's where the the sour cap begins, 0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:01.520 That's where the conversation begins, and that's where the presership 0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:04.359 is where a lot of it happens. That's that's why 0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:07.080 they sit next to each other. In the locker room 0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:09.640 right there in the center, because those are the two 0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:11.400 guys that you have to set the tone with, and 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:12.480 neither one of those guys. 0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.760 Maybe Dak Dak has played good football. 0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:17.680 I would say I would be willing to say Dak 0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:20.160 has played good football outside of the turnovers. 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:23.600 The turnovers are concerning. But but you can't stay outside 0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:27.000 of the turnovers exactly. That's that's all encompassing, correct. So yeah, 0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.279 both both guys got to be better. 0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:34.160 Correct And we talked about it yesterday with biology right 0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:37.160 and what was my answer to the question who would 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.000 I Who do I need to see more from c? 0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:39.759 D Lamb? 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:44.000 Yep, it's because for me, ce Ed Lamb is him, 0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:46.600 and when you're a top two receiver in the league, 0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:50.680 it's the onus is going to be on you to 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.600 make sure that you know you figure out. And this 0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:56.840 goes to the coordinator as well, This goes to McCarthy 0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.560 as well. And I asked Brian Schttenheimer about it specifically, 0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.280 like what's plan coming out of the by a week 0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:04.279 as far as getting CD to defeat some of those 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:06.840 coverages that the coverage looks that he's seen earlier in 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:09.400 the season now than he ever did in his career, 0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:13.560 cloud coverages and safety shading toward him and things like that, 0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:16.560 and there just has to be a better plan going 0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:20.759 forward so that Ceedee Lamb isn't being deleted in the 0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:23.280 second half of games or the first half of games 0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:25.440 to then reappear in the second half of games. We 0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.759 need four full quarters of Ceedee Lamb being shoved down 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:32.200 the throats of an opposing defense. And once that starts happening, 0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:33.759 you will start to see don't you do it? You 0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:38.000 will start to see Dak Prescott's proficiency improved because you 0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:40.879 will also see wide receiver two and wide receiver three 0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:42.759 and Jake Ferguson take a step forward. And as that 0:38:42.840 --> 0:38:45.400 passing game goes forward, then you start to see, guess what, 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.320 assuming the blocking is there, the running game starts to 0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:50.080 take off because teams can't stack the box. 0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:51.720 They got to play back and they got to playoff. 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.760 So for me, it will all go as Seedee Lamb 0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:57.960 goes because we've seen this movie before on this offense, 0:38:58.120 --> 0:38:58.880 they couldn't get. 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:01.319 The run game going last year. Who do they get going? 0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:04.120 CD lamb and the wrist was the rest I think 0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:04.600 we need. 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.040 You know, remember those old walkman's where it's like they 0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:09.960 just started coming out with like sport versions where you 0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:11.120 could like run with them and stuff. 0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:11.920 You see a walkman. 0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.920 We need one of those because we need we need 0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:16.200 to have our CDs. 0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:17.400 Stop skipping. 0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:20.520 You know what I'm saying, No more bumps in the ruck. 0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:23.280 Skip skip protection. 0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:26.400 Yeah, exactly, skip production for then you have it in 0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.000 your pocket, you can't even take a step. 0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:31.720 Exactly, the skipping songs and everything. 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.719 Remember my iPod doing that? 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:37.040 Yes, take it easy. 0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:38.800 I never had a walkman. 0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:41.839 No, I don't even know if you if you put 0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:43.279 it on a table, I don't know if I can 0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:43.960 tell you what it is. 0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:45.400 I had to use my like for real, I'm not 0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:48.480 even lying. Yes, I had to use it was yellow. 0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:48.600 I was. 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:51.080 I had like cassette tapes in the car with my dad. 0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:52.520 He had a FOD tourists back in the. 0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:56.799 Day, beat silver Bullet, No CDs. The CDs were there. 0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.920 But I'm saying, earliest I can remember was the that tapes. Okay, 0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:02.800 that we're in there. But I never had like a walkman. 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:05.040 Oh man, Okay, I have to show you one. I 0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:06.920 have to go digg in an addic is a walkman? 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:11.279 With a CD in it there. I thought I may 0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:12.960 have had like a portable CD player. 0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:13.680 Is that a walkman? 0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:14.000 Yes? 0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:16.040 Okay, I mean okay, that's what I haven't called. 0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:19.719 If you had that also had a rewind button, oh, 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:23.839 baller status. Everybody knows that if because most of them 0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:25.560 only had the fast forward button, so you had to 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:27.759 fast forward, you had to flip the table over fast 0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:29.920 forward as a rewind and flip it back over press play. 0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:31.279 Now I'm not there yet, and you have to keep 0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:33.080 doing that. But if you had one that had a 0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:37.200 rewind button as well, then you will. Probably Josh Rodriguez. 0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:42.000 He had one implanted in his backmobile car that was 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:45.680 driving exactly that. All right, let's go to Bob in 0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:49.200 Rio Grand Valley. You are a final caller today, Bob? 0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:51.120 What's going on there? 0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:52.799 But I never had like a walkman home. 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:55.840 Oh we heard, uh heard heard ourself. 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:59.320 Appreciate you listening, but remember to turn down your radio, Bob, 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:00.520 Bob there. 0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:03.160 Yes, sir, how are y'all doing this morning? 0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:06.040 I'm good? 0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:08.719 Did anybody watch the game last night? 0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:12.360 Watch quite a bit of it? Actually, what do you have? 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:15.120 Did you notice what I noticed? 0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:17.600 What's that that was? It is that number. 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:22.279 Baltimore. Baltimore got away from the running game in the 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:24.360 first half, and look what happened. 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:26.000 They were down on big time. 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.919 All of a sudden, King Henry starts getting the ball 0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:34.879 second half and boom, they just exploded. He exploded. 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.800 Now that I'll tell you something about the importance of 0:41:38.800 --> 0:41:39.640 the running game. 0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:42.160 Which I'm sure it does. But also what it told 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:44.480 me was I have every right to be sick in 0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:48.280 my stomach because we could have had King Henry except 0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:50.480 Jerry didn't take the damn. 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.000 Phone call in returnment and try. 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:56.000 To get him. My god, we've got a general manager, 0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:56.760 this dumb. 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.239 And with that, I'll get off and. 0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:01.279 Listen to anybody else. 0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:04.480 And oh, by the way, I agree with that caller 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:08.839 uh before the last one when he said that Mike 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:13.560 McCartney's Carthy's uh calling play calling is. 0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:16.120 Very very predictable. I'll guarantee you. 0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:19.360 On first now you know that might as well have. 0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:21.680 A committee meeting. You're right there at the line of 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:27.120 scrimmage on the right side, because on the west side, 0:42:27.120 --> 0:42:28.120 because that's where. 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.000 They're going to run the ball, and you can count 0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.279 on it just about every damn time. 0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:33.440 Y'all have a great. 0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:35.960 Day A tank, appreciate it. 0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:39.960 I love Bob is. 0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:42.880 One of my favorite fans in general because he all 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:44.960 encompasses exactly what we think a lot. 0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:46.759 Of the times, but we just aren't going to say. 0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:50.360 And I think where I said, I. 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:51.719 Don't know, man, I don't know if I can do 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:54.520 another Derek Henry call, like, I get it. 0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:56.200 Frustrating it but it is. 0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:58.080 It is totally But what are we going to do 0:42:58.160 --> 0:42:58.520 about it? 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.200 Nothing? You can't What are you talking about? 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:01.640 Could? 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.160 Nor could you? At the same time you couldn't do anything? 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:08.360 Then exactly that's the point of it. I love you, Bob. 0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:10.400 But the thing about many gonna do. 0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:12.520 The thing about Bob that makes me laugh is he's 0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:15.000 a lot of times he's very even keel. Even after 0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:17.520 a loss he's called us in, he's kind of had 0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:18.400 a steady hand. 0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:20.400 He's like, man, it just didn't go our way today. 0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:21.680 I thought there were a couple of things that we 0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:23.520 could have done. Well It's like, yeah, you're right, Bob, 0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:24.600 like it just didn't go our away. 0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:28.520 And then this time he's like, not Derek again, I 0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:30.320 can't believe this stomach. 0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:31.040 I get it. 0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:34.920 What were gonna do? What are you gonna do you 0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:35.400 know what I'm. 0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:40.960 Saying, fifteen carries one hundred and sixty nine yards, no touchdowns. 0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.960 Last cool man, you know he went on. 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:45.799 So okay, So here's what I am with it, right, 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:48.040 I am not one that's going to I'm not gonna 0:43:48.040 --> 0:43:49.600 be labor the point, right I'm not. 0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:51.319 So I'm right there with you, Josh. I'm not going 0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:52.520 to be labor the point that. 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:55.480 Being said as one of the vain advocates who wanted 0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:58.320 Derek Henry A. Dallis, I'm also not going to begrudge 0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:01.839 fans that week in week out seeing Derek can redominate 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:06.279 and they get to quote Bob's line to his stomach right, Like, 0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:08.000 I'm not going to begrudge them that. I'm not going 0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:09.959 to be the guy that keeps bringing it up every week. 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.000 Right now, quietly to myself, I was watching that game 0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:14.680 last night. I didn't put a tweet out about it, 0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:16.080 but I was watching that game and I was like, 0:44:18.000 --> 0:44:20.479 so being that I felt that way, I know fans are. 0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.880 Feeling that way as well. So okay, cool Bob, it 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:23.319 made six. 0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:27.680 But Josh's point, I'm also not going to be the 0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:29.279 guy that keeps bringing up but if you come to 0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:31.080 me and you're like, oh, no, see, we could have, 0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:32.560 I'm gonna be like, yeah, you could have. 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:35.080 I just I handle it differently. I stare at my 0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:37.960 TV like I'm Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket, and 0:44:38.040 --> 0:44:46.680 I'm just Kubrick staring into the camera, staring through my eyebrows. 0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:47.800 It's just one of those things. 0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:50.440 Man, when you know you when you could have, and 0:44:50.520 --> 0:44:53.759 I think was bothering fans, you are special. I think 0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:56.920 what's bothering fans is the lack of attempt, right. So 0:44:57.000 --> 0:44:59.360 I think fans would find it much easier to digest 0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.080 if the all was made and money just couldn't be 0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:04.319 agreed on. And Derek was like, you know what, I'm 0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:07.120 going to Baltimore. I Derek Henry believe it's a better 0:45:07.160 --> 0:45:09.000 situation and they're paying me more money. 0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:10.600 Okay, cool, you lose out that way. 0:45:10.800 --> 0:45:13.799 But if you notice fans are constantly harping on there 0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:14.960 was no call made. 0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:17.160 So again I'm not gonna belabor the point. 0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:20.600 But if a fan is still pissed off about it, 0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:22.319 I'm not going to judge him for that either. 0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:22.839 I get it. 0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:24.799 The credit to Derick Henry, to a lot of people 0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:26.880 thought he was done, and he is absolutely. 0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:28.640 Lot of people think a lot of things and they 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:31.960 make a lot of comments and then things like this happened. 0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:35.040 So you should probably watch. But there's some people and 0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:36.600 stop just talking. 0:45:37.280 --> 0:45:39.520 There are some people that literally just schedule the tweet 0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:42.480 every Monday. Did you see what Dereck Henry did with 0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:44.640 those stats? You know what I mean? You get to 0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:47.040 do that every week and be like, all right, man, 0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:48.120 all right. 0:45:48.040 --> 0:45:48.120 So. 0:45:49.640 --> 0:45:53.000 Grudget, Hey, if you're mad about it, let's just move on. 0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:56.080 He's there, he's happy. 0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:57.120 Cook. 0:45:57.160 --> 0:46:00.200 Why are we upset? I know exactly. They went and 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:01.040 got Dalvin. 0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:03.440 Cook, former all press. 0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:07.440 In practices.
