Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This is the Player's Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church,
Speaker 3: Hecma Harrison, and Newie.
Speaker 4: Scrugs Friday Friday. Friday Friday right here, Players Lounge, brought
Speaker 4: to you by Aristocrat Gaming. He is Heck Mayerson, Newy Scrugs,
Speaker 4: Barry Church. He's off hanging out doing his thing. But
Speaker 4: We've got you covered as we get you in that
Speaker 4: mood for Sunday Afternoon Football from Sunday Night. Last week's
Speaker 4: Sunday Afternoon at Jerry World. Cowboys searching for their first
Speaker 4: home victory this season and first victory in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys are zero to three at home in the
Speaker 4: year twenty twenty four and zero and two in the
Speaker 4: season of twenty twenty four. Heckma, here come the Lions
Speaker 4: with the Cowboys that beat six straight times and last
Speaker 4: year beat at Jerry World December thirty, when Jimmy Johnson
Speaker 4: went into the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 2: Great great Day, Great great Day.
Speaker 4: Much deserve and the Lions are three and one coming
Speaker 4: off a bye, So there are a lot of momentum
Speaker 4: things seemingly swimming towards the Lions right now, if you're
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, how do you take last week's seemingly swimming
Speaker 4: things going against you left and right? Not having Michael Parsons,
Speaker 4: not having Tank Lawrence, not having Brandon Cooks, not having
Speaker 4: Deron Bland, having Marshawn Neeland go out in the first quarter,
Speaker 4: having left tackle Tyler Geiton go out during the game,
Speaker 4: having Zach Martin have to leave the game to get
Speaker 4: an ivy. How do they bottle up last week's performance
Speaker 4: and bring it to this.
Speaker 5: Week's You are who you are? All right? This is
Speaker 5: what this game is going to have to be. What
Speaker 5: is your identity? Is a question that's going to be
Speaker 5: asked around the NFL about this game, especially about the
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys. And as you allude to that winning streak
Speaker 5: that they had at home, now it's going to a
Speaker 5: losing streak. The Cowboys had always been tough at home,
Speaker 5: especially over the last couple of years, and now somehow
Speaker 5: playoffs not included, newly not included. Now, yeah, exactly, And
Speaker 5: now it comes down to the two previous performances that
Speaker 5: you had at home, and those were not ideal. What
Speaker 5: it did was it exposed a lot of your awards,
Speaker 5: a lot of the things that you had going on
Speaker 5: that are really awful in your game plan. What has
Speaker 5: to be improved if you're going to bottle up anything
Speaker 5: from Pittsburgh and bring it to Arlington at and T Stadium,
Speaker 5: it has to be stopping the run. Literally, it has
Speaker 5: to be that. That is the part of you that
Speaker 5: I think that anybody that looked at those two games
Speaker 5: at home versus the Saints and also the Baltimore Ravens,
Speaker 5: your inability to stop the run really packed it that
Speaker 5: whole game and it really kept you out of the
Speaker 5: game or getting you giving you any momentum to win it. So,
Speaker 5: to me, the cast of characters that you're talking about
Speaker 5: that has to be there except for Michael Parsons in tank.
Speaker 5: Those guys have to play assignment, alignment, all the things
Speaker 5: that you're gonna hear from many talk shows, but just
Speaker 5: do your job. And that's exactly what they did when
Speaker 5: they went to Pittsburgh and they stopped that run. It's
Speaker 5: the same thing that they did when they played against
Speaker 5: New York and stopped that run. But look, man, let's
Speaker 5: quit all the four our thousand. When it comes down
Speaker 5: to it. Newly, they needed a tune up match. Okay,
Speaker 5: give me a Jerry Quarry, give me a give me
Speaker 5: a But was that Benita also before you saw both
Speaker 5: of them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you give me, give me that.
Speaker 5: Fight before you marched me into Madison Square Garden to
Speaker 5: fight Joe Fraser.
Speaker 2: Okay, and we needed that.
Speaker 5: We know that those running games that we face, man,
Speaker 5: they packed a punch and in comes the lions that
Speaker 5: you know this running game does pack a punch, man,
Speaker 5: and you're gonna have to low up and sell out
Speaker 5: to stop the run against Detroit.
Speaker 4: Detroit sixth in the league when it comes to running
Speaker 4: the football, one hundred and fifty one a game is
Speaker 4: what they roll out. The other issue with them unless
Speaker 4: if they meet their number one fifty one, that's also
Speaker 4: going to mean time of possession.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys going to be in the world to hurt.
Speaker 4: And that's that's where to me when I go back
Speaker 4: and I look at these football games, and I gotta
Speaker 4: go ahead check out with my notes, say about what
Speaker 4: their time of possession went to because they won.
Speaker 5: It last thirty thirty thirty one something another. I mean
Speaker 5: they're averaging that per game.
Speaker 4: They won it last week in Pittsburgh, and that to
Speaker 4: me was talk about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys. The Cowboys.
Speaker 4: They won the time of possession game last week against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: So if they could do that one more time, and
Speaker 4: that means they you need to run the ball themselves,
Speaker 4: but figure out a way to keep Detroit from mashing
Speaker 4: down on you.
Speaker 2: Then you got a shot.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's the average time of possession right now for
Speaker 4: the Cowboys opponents. Thirty one minutes and fifty two seconds.
Speaker 4: So your defense is on the field basically thirty two minutes.
Speaker 2: Ag game.
Speaker 4: That can't happen. It just can't not if you're trying
Speaker 4: to win. And then I go back and I look
Speaker 4: at last week, just checking my numbers. Here Cowboys at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys held the ball for thirty two minutes in
Speaker 4: twenty nine seconds. Yeah, it's you know, you took about
Speaker 4: twenty seven thirty I mean the end of the day, man,
Speaker 4: when you were giving up basically thirty two minutes and
Speaker 4: you out there for twenty seven minutes. That's madter. It
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like a lot. But that matters. That's one
Speaker 4: two drives that we're talking about here, that your defense
Speaker 4: is not on the football field. So that's why I'm
Speaker 4: all about the Cowboys trying to run the ball. Shorten
Speaker 4: what not Pittsburgh, but shorten what the Lions were able
Speaker 4: to do running the ball last week Pittsburgh. You look
Speaker 4: at running the ball, they were challenged. They only had
Speaker 4: ninety two yards and they averaged three point five a carry,
Speaker 4: but they had twenty six toes for ninety two yards.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be hard to do because Najie Harris in
Speaker 4: that Pittsburgh run game is not.
Speaker 2: On part of what the Lions are doing here.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so it may just be maybe you only
Speaker 4: allow the one hundred two hundred and three, but that's
Speaker 4: your onng point of what you got.
Speaker 2: You got to stop to run the.
Speaker 4: Blueprints out here, absolutely been out there, blueprints out here.
Speaker 2: You know what to do. Pittsburgh couldn't do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they try to, They try to, and it doesn't
Speaker 4: help that your quarterback was limited this week.
Speaker 2: The quarterback will not be limited.
Speaker 4: No, the quarterback will have better weapons around it, better
Speaker 4: run game, better tied in better, some mean, the whole
Speaker 4: thing is better offensively the lines. Heck, I just would
Speaker 4: not be surprised if the lines were playing on Super Sunday.
Speaker 4: When I think about just what they have right now
Speaker 4: to represent the NFC, which is pretty wide open. I
Speaker 4: mean when you think about, well, who's who's technically the
Speaker 4: best team right now? Five and Old Minnesota in the NFC.
Speaker 4: Do I believe they'll go to the Super Bowl? No,
Speaker 4: not right now, not sold but ken alliance with what
Speaker 4: they have, being able to run the football, having some
Speaker 4: explosive weapons and some defense, Yeah, that can get you there.
Speaker 2: So to me, this is as a matchup.
Speaker 4: Even if the Cowboys don't win this game, the Cowboys
Speaker 4: are going to have faced in their last two games,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, two teams that could would not shock
Speaker 4: me if they were in the Super Bowl. Baltimore Detroit.
Speaker 4: That's not far fetched. They probably won't get there, but
Speaker 4: if they got there, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a team also in Detroit. If you
Speaker 5: probably evaluated the film on them, this is a team
Speaker 5: that can embarrass you at home, not just beat you. Okay,
Speaker 5: their numbers as you go down the list of those stats,
Speaker 5: you know they own time of possession against teams that
Speaker 5: they play against. And they, oh, by the way, have
Speaker 5: two running backs that are probably in that top ten
Speaker 5: range in numbers in the NFL. What they do as
Speaker 5: far as touchdowns is what they do as far as rushes,
Speaker 5: what they do on first down, it's very impactful for
Speaker 5: them as a team. But as you you know, look
Speaker 5: when you talk to anyone around this building, any of
Speaker 5: the experts. So talk to Nate Newton, He'll tell you, man,
Speaker 5: that offensive line for the Detroit Lions is one that's
Speaker 5: probably the strength of their team. And undoubtedly the weakness
Speaker 5: on our team is our what the D line, and
Speaker 5: so those things when they collide, I think it's automatic
Speaker 5: for people to say, look, these things not just nullify themselves.
Speaker 5: But that's where the strength of you say, Detroit can
Speaker 5: put you in a situations where for four quarters they
Speaker 5: can easily have two hundred and fifty three hundred yards
Speaker 5: rushing in a game versus the Dallas Cowboys defense that
Speaker 5: hasn't seemed like they could stop anybody in those games,
Speaker 5: versus Baltimore and you know, versus the Saints. That's why
Speaker 5: I say, clearly you have to sell out over shown
Speaker 5: you have to sell out, Chauncey Golston, You have to
Speaker 5: sell out. This isn't this game where you could play
Speaker 5: hero ball, jump, jump around holes or do any of that.
Speaker 5: You have to be so disciplined in everything that you
Speaker 5: do in these last two games. Newly, that's where I've
Speaker 5: gotten hope from seeing Zim's defense rise to the occasion
Speaker 5: people have said in New York, what happened in New York?
Speaker 5: They did move the ball quite honestly, well on you,
Speaker 5: but Daniel Jones just couldn't finish the deal. But they
Speaker 5: stopped them last game versus the Steelers, you got the stop.
Speaker 5: You made that rushing attack for the Steelers. Look average.
Speaker 5: Now here's a team that's gonna come in that's gonna
Speaker 5: test you completely, and you can't say, oh, we're just
Speaker 5: gonna blank them, We're gonna shut them out one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: You have to say, look, they can't be this effective
Speaker 5: the number everyone's been saying, one hundred and twenty five yards.
Speaker 5: If you can limit them to one hundred and twenty
Speaker 5: five yards, oh, but the golf is going to have
Speaker 5: to find another aspect to that offense in order to
Speaker 5: keep them balance. He's got to throw the ball around,
Speaker 5: and I think that's where the Cowboy defense want to
Speaker 5: see him throwing it.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 4: There are two areas that concerned me about this Cowboys
Speaker 4: team in terms of trying to win this game. Number One,
Speaker 4: the turnover march for the year. They're minus one, right,
Speaker 4: tied for nineteenth in the league.
Speaker 2: Not good.
Speaker 4: They won last week despite losing the turnover battle.
Speaker 2: Three to one.
Speaker 6: That don't happen often in this especially on the road.
Speaker 2: On the road, you can't keep playing with fire like that.
Speaker 2: You just can't.
Speaker 4: So the Cowboys have got to protect the football, have to.
Speaker 2: We saw in that Green Bay game. The playoffs right again.
Speaker 4: You know, Dak, don't a pixe like. You can't do
Speaker 4: these kinds of things. If you want to beat a
Speaker 4: good team. Think you are on the same page. Detroit's
Speaker 4: a good football team. This is a good football team.
Speaker 4: Made the playoffs last year, made the NFCY Championship game line.
Speaker 4: This is a good football team. You cannot lose the
Speaker 4: turnover margin at home. Can't do that second thing, dude.
Speaker 4: The penalties, this is this is bad.
Speaker 2: Each week. It's not getting any better. Okay.
Speaker 4: Notes from last week penalties eleven for eighty seven this
Speaker 4: year in the league, penalty yards three hundred and thirty
Speaker 4: on forty three flags tied for third in the league.
Speaker 4: Hekma Detroit's fourteenth tied for fourteenth.
Speaker 2: And penalties.
Speaker 4: So you can't have that kind of margin out here.
Speaker 4: You can't turn the ball over and then shoot yourself
Speaker 4: in the foot. You can't have holding then we throw
Speaker 4: a pick or we fumble the football. You can't do
Speaker 4: that if you're trying to win a football game. So
Speaker 4: these are things and I know people point to the
Speaker 4: coaches and they give Mike McCarthy a lot of credit.
Speaker 4: When I talk to some guys with Super Bowl rings,
Speaker 4: they tell me, Nuie, this is all the players. The
Speaker 4: players have to be the ones to understand they can't
Speaker 4: lose the football.
Speaker 6: Because the coaches say, what, we don't coach What that was.
Speaker 2: Bill Parcels, Which I just felt like that one we
Speaker 2: just saying.
Speaker 5: I mean, but every coach is going to kind of
Speaker 5: lean to we don't coach penalties, and it's where it happens.
Speaker 5: I think that penalizes the Cowboys the most when they
Speaker 5: have that holding penalty. Guiden has this holding penalty down
Speaker 5: in the red zone. It backs them up. How many
Speaker 5: times over the years have the Cowboys been in scoring
Speaker 5: position and all of a sudden penalties started to take place.
Speaker 5: And this just hadn't happened on the McCarthy It happened
Speaker 5: to other previous administrations as well as well. Whether the
Speaker 5: Cowboys are penal like, I'm not even going to the
Speaker 5: stigma the referees, none of that. It's something that they
Speaker 5: have to stop if they want to play championship level football,
Speaker 5: if they want to be that team playing in the playoffs,
Speaker 5: they have to stop it. They have to because right
Speaker 5: now it's killing them. It's just like the turnovers.
Speaker 2: Right right, the penalty.
Speaker 4: So you can't be out here having first in fifteen
Speaker 4: or second and twenty.
Speaker 2: You can't do that.
Speaker 4: And then oh, by the way, let's go get the
Speaker 4: ball away on a fumble war interception. You can't beat
Speaker 4: good teams like that. So you get away with against
Speaker 4: the Giants. You can do that against the Giants last week.
Speaker 4: You got away with this kind of stuff in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: Not this week.
Speaker 4: This week you got to lock in and focus because
Speaker 4: you're not good enough against this team.
Speaker 5: What does what does a win versus Detroit do for
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 2: See I'm the outlier on that.
Speaker 4: Okay, to me, last week solidified one more to me,
Speaker 4: last week solidified once again. This is a This is
Speaker 4: one of the better coaches in the if not elite,
Speaker 4: in the NFL.
Speaker 5: Top five, for sure, you are an outlived I mean,
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you right now with that state, that
Speaker 5: opening statement, you are an outlier of Newie shrugs.
Speaker 2: And you know it when you say that.
Speaker 4: Okay, So all right, give me your just top five coaches,
Speaker 4: not in order, just your top five.
Speaker 2: In the current league right now, right now.
Speaker 5: Man, I'm gonna go Shanahan, I'm gonna go Andy Reid,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go McVeigh, I'm gonna go I'm missing somebody,
Speaker 5: but I'm just off the top.
Speaker 2: Tomlin. I'm gonna go Big.
Speaker 5: Mike Harball, Harbord. Yeah, I gotta throw Harball in now six. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 5: you didn't put Sean Payne. I didn't say Sean Payne
Speaker 5: no intentionally.
Speaker 4: When I go in there and I look at this
Speaker 4: list of Mike is in there. This guy's fifteenth in
Speaker 4: the league all time when it comes to win.
Speaker 6: What you gotta say, Sean Payton my back.
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying when you talk about just what
Speaker 4: he's been able to do. And I know this is
Speaker 4: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, but.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna tell the truth.
Speaker 4: This is not an easy place to coach because you
Speaker 4: don't just get to coach. Thank you the owners having
Speaker 4: a press conference while you're having a press conference after
Speaker 4: the game, and more people show up to.
Speaker 2: Hear the owner than you.
Speaker 6: Interesting, it's Tuesday at eight thirty.
Speaker 2: You don't know what the owner's gonna.
Speaker 5: Say about who's healthy, who's not, who's playing, who's not, who's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, giving up the store right, tell everybody was up.
Speaker 4: So this is this is not a regular coaching job.
Speaker 4: This ain't Robert Sala who just had to deal with
Speaker 4: the crazy quarterback. You know, you gotta deal with what
Speaker 4: the owner's gonna say on his show. Then the son's
Speaker 4: got his show son out here giving away stuff. This
Speaker 4: is not an easy job. Then I got my star
Speaker 4: playing with a podcast. I don't know what he's gonna say.
Speaker 4: Then I got my safety one day saying something about
Speaker 4: the owner. Then we lose a playoff game, got the
Speaker 4: wide receiver, mama own social said something about the quarterback.
Speaker 4: Then I gotta go through the off season quarterback and
Speaker 4: I signed ADC receiver and I signed I've got to
Speaker 4: play it straight so I don't mess uping getting the
Speaker 4: owner mad at me because I'm up. I don't want
Speaker 4: the players get mad at me because I'm up, and
Speaker 4: I don't want to lose that.
Speaker 2: This is not an easy job.
Speaker 4: Michae Lombardy always does a really good job in talking
Speaker 4: about with the Cowboys, you have to deal with Jerry.
Speaker 2: Jerry is a part of the show.
Speaker 4: He's a you know, if you think about who's interviewed
Speaker 4: and who we talk to the most during the week,
Speaker 4: it's Dak Jerry, Micah McCarthy's down the line. This is
Speaker 4: not in Denver, Champagne. Do you know who owns Denver Broncos.
Speaker 4: I do not to Walmart to Walmart for you don't know? Yeah,
Speaker 4: you don't know. You okay, you have intimate knowledge of
Speaker 4: this team. It was because me and Joe Green is
Speaker 4: your your uncle the Hall of Famer? What's the last
Speaker 4: time when's the last time we heard the Rooneys on
Speaker 4: the radio show? Having TV interview? I hadn't seen him,
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen them. You might have seen him at
Speaker 4: an owners meet and give him a statement, but so
Speaker 4: so so when you were Mike McCarthy are dealing with that.
Speaker 4: It was one time, and I can't remember which one
Speaker 4: it was. It was a draft press conference. Chris Bean
Speaker 4: remind me it was when McCarthy was it was Jerry
Speaker 4: Steven McCarthy was up there. Nobody asked McCarthy something, and
Speaker 4: then finally just kind of joked.
Speaker 2: I don't even know why I'm here. It's the true.
Speaker 4: You guys could do this without me exactly because we
Speaker 4: really didn't want to ask.
Speaker 2: Him any draft questions. We know Jerry gonna do what
Speaker 2: you want to do.
Speaker 4: So when I think about what he's done, like last
Speaker 4: week against Pittsburgh, being down with so much winning that
Speaker 4: football game, I give that more points than the average
Speaker 4: fan does.
Speaker 2: Todd Archer VSPN and I. Todd and I've had good conversation.
Speaker 4: Sounds like, you know, hey, McCarthy didn't do anything more
Speaker 4: than what Jason Garrett did. He was brought in to
Speaker 4: take this team passed to the next level and he
Speaker 4: hasn't done yet. That's a black and white way of
Speaker 4: looking at it, But I also look at the contexts
Speaker 4: of it. What you have to do to be the
Speaker 4: head coach here. This is well, this is the equivalent
Speaker 4: of managing the New York Yankees when George Steinbrenner was
Speaker 4: a round and it's not easy. Steinbrenner went through folks.
Speaker 4: Steinbrenner said stuff. Joe Tory knew how to handle and
Speaker 4: he was excellent at it.
Speaker 6: But you know what Tory always had. He always had
Speaker 6: a stacked roster too.
Speaker 5: But when I watched, when I watched the job that
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy is doing, and you know, I'm a vegan,
Speaker 5: so I'm one of those guys that I know the
Speaker 5: difference between a beanburger and a real burger. Okay, right now,
Speaker 5: right now, right now, Mike McCarthy is cooking with impossible meat.
Speaker 6: And he's still getting the job done.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: I mean, you talk about the talent, you talk about
Speaker 5: the talent level, and there's so many people when they
Speaker 5: have opinions about the Dallas Cowboys, they don't respect the
Speaker 5: talent level of this roster. Ricefully slow, especially when you
Speaker 5: look around the NFL. But I think this win versus
Speaker 5: Detroit would definitely put people on notice, but also show
Speaker 5: you what Mike McCarthy is getting it done with he's also.
Speaker 2: The play caller.
Speaker 4: Last week they had to change the gameplay. They were
Speaker 4: getting the ball out quick. We hadn't seen the Cowboys
Speaker 4: played that kind of football game, and you needed Jalen
Speaker 4: Tobert out there with bad levels. They were broken, I
Speaker 4: don't know, broke according to Talent Smith, you know you
Speaker 4: needed that out there.
Speaker 2: You need it.
Speaker 4: Okay, they're going to double cd Lamb. How did you
Speaker 4: come up with a new game? Mike McCarthy did it.
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy, in my opinion, has also not gotten enough
Speaker 4: credit for what happened last year when Mike McCarthy was like, Yo,
Speaker 4: Kellen morn needs to go, Jerry, I need this, give
Speaker 4: it to me Dak. The last year here with Kellen Moore,
Speaker 4: Dak led the league in picks. He who had Dak.
Speaker 2: Leading the league in touchdown No one nobody talks about
Speaker 2: that career year for Dack ceedee lamb career year. And
Speaker 2: I know losing to the Green.
Speaker 4: Bay Packers took away so much of that luster and shine.
Speaker 4: But your job, if you're a real fan, don't just
Speaker 4: look at the sizzle. Go dive into the stake and
Speaker 4: see what it is you're getting. If Mike McCarthy's not
Speaker 4: here next year. You need to get one, a leader
Speaker 4: of men who's able to lead the locker room. You
Speaker 4: don't see any dis engineer, Yeah, you don't. You need
Speaker 4: leadermen in the locker room, and you need a play call.
Speaker 5: And you're gonna have to have a guy that can
Speaker 5: get along with the front office too.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: Who oh, by the way, can what the owners saying?
Speaker 4: Okay, let me let me go to the press conference
Speaker 4: and digest what he said.
Speaker 2: Because there's the press conference, then there's the walk off.
Speaker 6: You get the mean answers in the walk off, right, you.
Speaker 2: Get to you get to so what did you Did
Speaker 2: you really mean this? This?
Speaker 6: That?
Speaker 2: And you get a little deep.
Speaker 5: Okay, so to the uninitiated, what does that mean when
Speaker 5: they walk off?
Speaker 7: What is?
Speaker 2: Come on? Come on, we get the people in education.
Speaker 4: There is the press conference that we see on Dallas
Speaker 4: cowboy dot com. Put on your phone, check it out.
Speaker 4: And then when he's done, the media walks with Mike.
Speaker 4: They walk off with him. Recorders aren't going. There's no
Speaker 4: cameras allowed. All right, So heck you said that.
Speaker 2: Did you really mean this?
Speaker 4: You protected player there? But did they run the right play?
Speaker 4: What was that play designed to do. That's the walk off,
Speaker 4: and so that's where you get it. For instance, on
Speaker 4: media Mash, Clarence Hill came out and said, on the play,
Speaker 4: Rico daddle fumble, he ran, he ran the wrong way.
Speaker 6: And he got the answer where.
Speaker 2: I don't know it was in the walk off.
Speaker 4: But that's the kind of question you ask in the
Speaker 4: walk off, was that play run in the right Since
Speaker 4: your head coach doesn't want to stand up here in
Speaker 4: front of a podium and tell the whole world, yeah, dude,
Speaker 4: ran the wrong play. A lot of the coaches don't
Speaker 4: want to do that, but in a walk off situation
Speaker 4: where you're trying to understand the truth of what's happened,
Speaker 4: they'll give that to you because the players can give
Speaker 4: it to you and assistant code like that.
Speaker 2: Ain't that ain't no state secret.
Speaker 4: They were designed to go to the right, you cut back, left,
Speaker 4: jumped up there, boomball went out.
Speaker 2: So that's what you can get in the walk off.
Speaker 8: The OC basically said in his press conference, he didn't
Speaker 8: say he hit the wrong round. He goes he needs
Speaker 8: to slow down a little bit, and that's what he said. Okay,
Speaker 8: so how you protect the player.
Speaker 2: Right, So that's great.
Speaker 8: You know, when he gets the ball, he needs to
Speaker 8: slow down a little bit. He's going too.
Speaker 2: Fast and so.
Speaker 4: When shot, he says that, and if you get shoty
Speaker 4: in the walk off, so he ran the wrong way
Speaker 4: and then he'll probably just look at you like.
Speaker 2: Yes's what he did. And that's that's what the walk
Speaker 2: off is.
Speaker 4: So it's a way that you, the the media member,
Speaker 4: can get information and the coach can give you something
Speaker 4: without trying.
Speaker 2: You know, you're not trying. This is not what hey man,
Speaker 2: let's set everybody on fire.
Speaker 4: You're trying to have a better understanding about what's going
Speaker 4: on here and be informed about it.
Speaker 2: So that's what the walk off is for.
Speaker 4: Like, hey man, I don't want to put this out
Speaker 4: here because I don't want to make anybody. I'm not
Speaker 4: trying to put anybody on blast or give away state secrets.
Speaker 4: And she's going to give you a little bit of
Speaker 4: understanding about hey, here's something I'm worried about this there
Speaker 4: you know I have that, and and Mike has been
Speaker 4: gracious enough to do that to let you a little
Speaker 4: bit inside about what's going on. And your job and
Speaker 4: the media is not to abuse it and That's that's
Speaker 4: the key is hey, if he's going to give you
Speaker 4: and I'll say this, that's another thing I would miss
Speaker 4: about Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy being able.
Speaker 4: To help educate you at times, and so you have
Speaker 4: an understanding about what's going on here, so you can
Speaker 4: do your job a little bit better. When you get
Speaker 4: a coach will give you that kind of stuff. It's
Speaker 4: pretty fun. Now, Parcels wasn't a big walk off guy.
Speaker 2: You know what he would do.
Speaker 8: Remember what he would do, knew he he'd go, okay, no,
Speaker 8: shut them all off real quick. He'd tell me, everybody,
Speaker 8: shut everything off, make sure everything's not recording, and then
Speaker 8: he would tell you what the play is. Turn back
Speaker 8: on again. That's exactly what he would do, all right,
Speaker 8: shut him off, he'd tell it, and then he turn
Speaker 8: back on again.
Speaker 4: Right, And and that way said the coach who wants
Speaker 4: to I want to let you guys know, but I
Speaker 4: don't want to blast anyone. I don't want to put
Speaker 4: anyone out there. But but there's things that you want
Speaker 4: to know. I mean, and and honestly, this is what
Speaker 4: happens in political press conferences too. You know, there's the
Speaker 4: stuff they give you and then when you get.
Speaker 6: Hey, man, here's the real exactly, here's the real.
Speaker 4: Here's the real, and that's that's that's what it is about.
Speaker 4: When you're in this is public relations. So much of
Speaker 4: this job is public relations. And when Mike is up there,
Speaker 4: I remember Terry Francona talking about, Yeah, you know what
Speaker 4: the hardest part of the job was to know when
Speaker 4: I was lying to you guys basically every day.
Speaker 2: Garrett was great at the walk off.
Speaker 6: Actually that I was just gonna ask that he was great.
Speaker 8: He was not like Robot it even he was definitely
Speaker 8: really great at the walkoff. He tell you stories and
Speaker 8: all that kind of stuff is great.
Speaker 4: The one thing I that what I learned from Jason
Speaker 4: was what pay attention to what he didn't say. If
Speaker 4: he said something effusiveness and the walk off, you know,
Speaker 4: he'd give you stuff. It's like, okay, so when he's
Speaker 4: not giving you something pretty effusive about a player. But
Speaker 4: but Jay, you're very correct, and Jason was very good
Speaker 4: at the walk off. And get I remember whi ime
Speaker 4: I asked Aboutdak Prescott as a person, he just went
Speaker 4: on and on how great, how much he loved Dak
Speaker 4: you know, he is a DOC proponent, And it's kind
Speaker 4: of interesting because McCarthy is the same way about Dak.
Speaker 4: You know, they praised him for the man that he
Speaker 4: is and the leader that he is in the locker room,
Speaker 4: which is kind of interesting when you read social media.
Speaker 4: These people say all these crazy things about him, and
Speaker 4: I thought it was also kind of crazy that he
Speaker 4: had to basically go up all the way.
Speaker 2: Up to the first game to get his money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people will tell you this is the kind of
Speaker 4: guy that I want here as a coach. I want
Speaker 4: that guy here because hecky, you know, it's the toughest position.
Speaker 2: It's sports, Like, Hey, I need a dude I can trust.
Speaker 4: They trust that this guy will do what they need
Speaker 4: him to do and that they can put the plan
Speaker 4: in here and he's not gonna do ask Robert sala.
Speaker 5: Hey, we're going to figure out why Ezekiel elliott Is
Speaker 5: is dumbfounded about his role and how the wires got

Speaker 5: cooler and drinkwear of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Yes We've got our YETI cool. Come on, we will
Speaker 4: do that in this segment, but heck, let's let's deliver.
Speaker 4: We tease it, so let's deliver. You wanted to know
Speaker 4: about Ezekielly.
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought it was it.
Speaker 5: I thought it was Clarence Hill broke it just basically
Speaker 5: talking about the interview at the locker with Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 5: saying that he did have a conversation with the coaches
Speaker 5: and that he was dumbfounded by his role. And then
Speaker 5: Jerry came out in the news and said that they're
Speaker 5: saving Zeke. So I just wanted to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, coach Jones came out and said that, But the
Speaker 4: coach of the team clearly showed you what he wanted
Speaker 4: to do. And yes, it is hard for Zeke to
Speaker 4: not understand because that's what they said.
Speaker 2: They brought him back for that, that's what they've talked
Speaker 2: of all that.
Speaker 4: But I go back into this and it's funny, said, heck,
Speaker 4: we had this conversation in the office, Yes, said I
Speaker 4: have with somebody. Rico o'donald was having the best game
Speaker 4: of any Cowboy running back this season. You get down
Speaker 4: here in the red zone. He earned the right for
Speaker 4: the carry. He did earn that right.
Speaker 6: He did.
Speaker 2: Now you bring in Zeke Elliott.
Speaker 4: Off the top of my head, how many toats did
Speaker 4: he have at that point in time?
Speaker 2: Six?
Speaker 6: Six?
Speaker 4: Okay six? And I can't tell you when the last
Speaker 4: tod he had was. I gotta check the game by
Speaker 4: game here. But if he goes in there and he fumbles,
Speaker 4: it's almost like last year with hudder limkey, Hey, what
Speaker 4: are we doing this for?
Speaker 2: Why are we going here?
Speaker 4: So when I just look in terms of just what
Speaker 4: someone's earned, you're here in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: It's a fifteen play drive.
Speaker 4: He's been a part of the drive here, we'll go
Speaker 4: take him out to put it in. Ezekiel Elliott. I
Speaker 4: can understand what Mike is doing there. I mean I can.
Speaker 4: It's one of those where I can understand the thought
Speaker 4: The thought process right there isn't crazy. I'm a dance
Speaker 4: with who brung me? You've been giving me a pretty
Speaker 4: right now. Twenty carries eighty seven yards four point four
Speaker 4: yard average.
Speaker 2: That's what he did.
Speaker 4: Yes, we know Ezekiel Ellis's reputation down there in the
Speaker 4: red zone and what he's been doing and picked up
Speaker 4: a couple of tough runs earlier in the game.
Speaker 2: But I didn't think that was crazy.
Speaker 4: Now, the crazy part or the part that which you
Speaker 4: could be upset about, or the claims so talked about,
Speaker 4: is how Rico Daddle did ran the wrong way?
Speaker 2: What Ezekiel Elliott runs the wrong way?
Speaker 4: Probably not so him being upset, him not liking what
Speaker 4: he's liking. Okay, Zeke's not happy with his role. Dalvin
Speaker 4: Cook ain't happy with his role. He can't even get
Speaker 4: on the active roster.
Speaker 2: Who's happy?
Speaker 5: But you know, just like everybody else, is not a
Speaker 5: bigger issue because Dak was able to get on that ball.
Speaker 5: But had that ball been lost, this would be a
Speaker 5: bigger issue, especially with him saying he's dumbfounded by his
Speaker 5: role and oh, by the way, we're down in the
Speaker 5: red zone, which you would have if you was in
Speaker 5: at and T Stadium everybody with ze you'd already know
Speaker 5: what the calls would be to get him into the
Speaker 5: end zone on that right.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, once again, at this juncture
Speaker 2: in the game.
Speaker 5: It makes sense, dance with who brought you. Rico was
Speaker 5: on fire at that point. He was giving you everything
Speaker 5: that you need, big runs, moving the chains, keeping the
Speaker 5: possession going.
Speaker 2: Rico Daldele earned it. You're not wrong on that.
Speaker 4: So I'll say this, okay, and maybe this is where
Speaker 4: some of the dumb founders comes in on this drive.
Speaker 2: On a third one of the Pittsburgh forty eight, Ezekiel.
Speaker 4: Elliott went up the right end for one yard first down,
Speaker 4: so he did play a part on that at a
Speaker 4: third and one.
Speaker 2: Then they went back to Rico Dawdle for the rest
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 4: Drive and so it was dabble right tackle Prescott in
Speaker 4: complete pass to Elliott. So Elliott we got back in
Speaker 4: the game. Then a pastor ferguson Prescott the lipke el boogie, yes, sir.
Speaker 4: Then it was first and four from first and goal
Speaker 4: from the four, and that's when the.
Speaker 2: That's when the fumble happened.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I look man for me, you know, knewie. I
Speaker 6: don't want to get second.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, second one from the one second one.
Speaker 5: Don't want to get comfortable yet with this running game.
Speaker 5: We we know that Rico. We saw that one game
Speaker 5: with Rico and he absolutely came through in the in
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh game. But I still believe in this by
Speaker 5: committee approach with these two backs, I really do.
Speaker 6: I still believe in it.
Speaker 5: And if Rico and if Rico can exact his dominance
Speaker 5: in that running game and proved that he is RB one.
Speaker 5: I am all for turning this whole thing over to
Speaker 5: him and getting him as much help as we possibly can,
Speaker 5: because he is proven that he is that guy. I
Speaker 5: just in that moment right then, it was still all
Speaker 5: hands on deck. And you've seen coaches, other successful coaches,
Speaker 5: winning coaches do the same thing. Hey we're down here,
Speaker 5: come on out, We're gonna put our guy in there.
Speaker 5: We know that can get it done down here at
Speaker 5: the one. I mean, come on, it's not uncustomary to
Speaker 5: see that.
Speaker 4: And time will tell exactly what happens this week. If
Speaker 4: you're inside the five yard line again, what do you do?
Speaker 2: Do you go to Zeke or Elliott? What happens? What
Speaker 2: do you do?
Speaker 4: But he's you know, he's not happy with his role.
Speaker 4: But along the way, what is that telling you about
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy thinks about him as play?
Speaker 5: Oh that's okay, okay, Then that's probably a part of
Speaker 5: the frustration from Zeke then.
Speaker 6: And if if you're Zeke, you've you've got to be
Speaker 6: a little frustrated.
Speaker 2: Well, don't listen to what Mike says. Looking at what
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, don't tell me exactly. That's gotta be frustrating. That
Speaker 5: got to be frustrating physique, it has to be cool,
Speaker 5: I mean, and nothing you can do about it. He
Speaker 5: can't put himself in the game. But I'm saying that
Speaker 5: has got to be frustrating for a guy that you
Speaker 5: know has played at a high level.
Speaker 6: That look, it's declining.
Speaker 4: And McCarthy doesn't. Clearly he doesn't think he's that same
Speaker 4: dude he used to be, despite giving the ball on
Speaker 4: a third and one that he picked up on that drive.
Speaker 4: So this is this is It's interesting when it happens again.
Speaker 4: Hopefully we see it on Sunday so we can therefore
Speaker 4: see exactly what is Mike McCarthy do.
Speaker 2: It's great. It is a I get you. You want
Speaker 2: the player to be mad because you want him to say,
Speaker 2: may give you the ball? You want to do that?
Speaker 6: So all right, I got it. Do you want if
Speaker 6: Zekeel I got another one?
Speaker 2: You don't want Ezekiel to say, hey man, cut the check.
Speaker 5: So I got I got another one for you. I
Speaker 5: got another question for you. What is the identity of
Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys to you? After five games? If they
Speaker 5: don't have one. Bad they don't have one. What is
Speaker 5: their identity outter five games?
Speaker 2: They gotta win games with their offense.
Speaker 4: Their offense has They have to be able to play
Speaker 4: some complimentary football. Uh, to beat a good team?
Speaker 6: Is that an idea? Is that an? Is that any
Speaker 6: to throw the ball?
Speaker 4: McCarthy is a guy. They are a throw first team. Okay,
Speaker 4: they throw first team, So they're they're a passing team
Speaker 4: that needs to get a complimentary running game so they
Speaker 4: can help the offense, which would help the defense by
Speaker 4: running the clock.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 4: They're a team and we talked about it before. Their
Speaker 4: front running team. They got a school. This is not
Speaker 4: a come from behind team. You get ahead. You get
Speaker 4: ahead on them early. I mean, look at the three
Speaker 4: home games that they've lost this year. Everybody got ahead
Speaker 4: up real quick and ran the ball on. So so
Speaker 4: their identity has to be between Dak Prescott playing really
Speaker 4: good football and and them establishing some type of run game,
Speaker 4: which last week maybe we've seen it. Because Pittsburgh's a
Speaker 4: good defense. That brings us into the YETI cool customer. Yeah,
Speaker 4: who has to be that guy that's cool ready to
Speaker 4: go under pressure to help the Cowboys against the lines
Speaker 4: who you got.
Speaker 5: Well, I asked a super Bowl champion in Black College
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer a question about you know YETI cool customer,
Speaker 5: and now I was having that question about he does
Speaker 5: the same, dude, right, But I was having a I
Speaker 5: had a question for him, you know, basically about you
Speaker 5: know who picking the Yetti cool customer in the whole
Speaker 5: nine and then the identity of the team.
Speaker 6: And so I.
Speaker 5: Answered the question with, this is a Dak Prescott led team. Okay,
Speaker 5: this is a Dak Prescott led team. And when you
Speaker 5: look at the wins that they've had, he is the
Speaker 5: guy that has been the reason for them pulling those
Speaker 5: victories out even when they had every chance to absolutely
Speaker 5: lose it. And so my Yetti cool customer no secret
Speaker 5: is Dak Prescott. And I feel like his ability to
Speaker 5: lead drives and also save this defense he has to
Speaker 5: be the difference also to save this defense versus Cleveland
Speaker 5: I'm excuse me, versus the Detroit Lions. Because you talked
Speaker 5: about time of possession, all of those things we have
Speaker 5: to get on the field. We have to have those
Speaker 5: sustaining drives, and we have to cap it off with scores.
Speaker 5: Nobody's talking about those red zone problems yet, but I
Speaker 5: promise you they're getting ready to rear their heads and
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott has to fix that. You can't come away
Speaker 5: with three points every time and have Brandon Aubrey kick
Speaker 5: these seventy yard field goals.
Speaker 4: Cowboys one for four in the red zone and one
Speaker 4: touchdown that got was with twenty seconds left to win
Speaker 4: the football game.
Speaker 2: And with you one hundred.
Speaker 4: Percent, the Cowboys cannot kick three field goals if they
Speaker 4: want to beat the Lions, They're going to have to
Speaker 4: find the red zone with frequency. The Lions average twenty
Speaker 4: six points a game, So that just tells you right there,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, you need to at least find three touchdowns
Speaker 4: to be in the football game right just to be
Speaker 4: in it. My YETI cool customer is going to be
Speaker 4: left tackle Tyler Geiton a holding machine.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 4: You've got Ivory lt Aiden Hutchinson coming to town.
Speaker 2: We saw what happened last week. It was a rough
Speaker 2: day for young Geydon and Terrence Steel.
Speaker 4: By the way, yes, but I'm looking at Geyton because
Speaker 4: if I'm Aaron Glenn, it's real simple, hey man, let's
Speaker 4: go at this rookie. We're going to test him early
Speaker 4: and often. Let's see, are the Cowboys going to try
Speaker 4: and do the same quick, quick passing game one more time?
Speaker 4: How do we defend that? But you've got to go
Speaker 4: after him. Goyton got hurt last week, dealt with a knee.
Speaker 4: You got to to me, the cool customer is him
Speaker 4: because what did we see in game one against Cleveland
Speaker 4: rant and Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Ain't the greatest team in the world right now, but.
Speaker 4: We didn't hear his name a whole lot, and now
Speaker 4: people have film and so they're going after him. But
Speaker 4: to me, if Geyton can play a good football game,
Speaker 4: it makes it easier for Dak Prescott. Your run game
Speaker 4: may have a shot. But he's got he's got to
Speaker 4: be just can't have.
Speaker 2: All the holding calls.
Speaker 4: He's got to be better for this for this team.
Speaker 4: So that's why you need him to be the Yetti
Speaker 4: cool customer in my opinion.
Speaker 5: So YETI cool customer because you're afraid of what him
Speaker 5: being victimized?
Speaker 6: Are you?
Speaker 2: That is what I'm saying. It's more fear.
Speaker 5: You can't come on, come on, he tell the truth,
Speaker 5: and man, you're afraid right now?
Speaker 2: This is week TJ is one hundreds stop the game,
Speaker 2: handing the.
Speaker 4: Ball on the man whole stadiums out there, now, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, dude, man, dude's trying to make Pro Bowl
Speaker 4: this week.
Speaker 2: Look, So that's why I asked you this. You know,
Speaker 2: you know it.
Speaker 5: I know looking at that time, they can't wait to
Speaker 5: see all the passion. Yes, but I got to ask
Speaker 5: you this though. Right now, he's a rookie. He's he's
Speaker 5: definitely getting exposed each and every week. But but knew
Speaker 5: he if he's seventy five eighty percent, do you play.
Speaker 2: Him to play?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 5: Man, you know then why do you what what you
Speaker 5: You're saying this matter of factly, so you have some knowledge.
Speaker 4: Practice this week you're practicing that man going out there
Speaker 4: just letting you know, you know what.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 2: I think you're trying. You trying to talk yourself out
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 5: That's just Look, it's a it's one of those weeks
Speaker 5: versus one of those teams that presents so many problems.
Speaker 5: And when we've seen his snowball and go downhill for
Speaker 5: Tyler guid and it, it really gets ugly. And I
Speaker 5: just I don't want to I don't want a situation
Speaker 5: that his look, man, the challenge next week, the week
Speaker 5: after next, after San Francisco, you got to you got
Speaker 5: another challenge. So you're gonna always have another guy that's
Speaker 5: gonna be stepping up to the plate. That's gonna you
Speaker 5: got Matthew Judon after that. It's gonna always be a
Speaker 5: top tier guy in front of this guy. I just
Speaker 5: don't want to kill his confidence, man, And that confidence
Speaker 5: I think is just hold on, guy, don't go down.
Speaker 6: Don't go down.
Speaker 2: Don't go down. Down. Those phrasers take a break.

Speaker 4: ran the football, play defense.

Speaker 5: and it's not all on him. But that was that
Speaker 5: was bad.

Speaker 4: win at Pittsburgh. I went off that man believed in
Speaker 4: too many of the injuries. I was listening to Jason
Speaker 4: Garrett on on Football Night in America. He picked the Steelers.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't be listening to JG So going back to
Speaker 4: the sheeting integrity, Cowboys win, I mean Cowboys lose.
Speaker 2: Twenty six Cowboys lose. I know you got what Chris mean?
