He's off hanging out doing his thing. But 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.960 We've got you covered as we get you in that 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.240 mood for Sunday Afternoon Football from Sunday Night. Last week's 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:52.600 Sunday Afternoon at Jerry World. Cowboys searching for their first 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.920 home victory this season and first victory in twenty twenty four. 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.680 The Cowboys are zero to three at home in the 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.639 year twenty twenty four and zero and two in the 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:08.240 season of twenty twenty four. Heckma, here come the Lions 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.119 with the Cowboys that beat six straight times and last 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.679 year beat at Jerry World December thirty, when Jimmy Johnson 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:16.559 went into the Ring of Honor. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.600 Great great Day, Great great Day. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.560 Much deserve and the Lions are three and one coming 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.200 off a bye, So there are a lot of momentum 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:31.200 things seemingly swimming towards the Lions right now, if you're 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:36.399 the Cowboys, how do you take last week's seemingly swimming 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.920 things going against you left and right? Not having Michael Parsons, 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.800 not having Tank Lawrence, not having Brandon Cooks, not having 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.080 Deron Bland, having Marshawn Neeland go out in the first quarter, 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.920 having left tackle Tyler Geiton go out during the game, 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.160 having Zach Martin have to leave the game to get 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.000 an ivy. How do they bottle up last week's performance 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.360 and bring it to this. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.440 Week's You are who you are? All right? This is 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.880 what this game is going to have to be. What 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.000 is your identity? Is a question that's going to be 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.079 asked around the NFL about this game, especially about the 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.519 Dallas Cowboys. And as you allude to that winning streak 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.720 that they had at home, now it's going to a 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.560 losing streak. The Cowboys had always been tough at home, 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.239 especially over the last couple of years, and now somehow 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:26.400 playoffs not included, newly not included. Now, yeah, exactly, And 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.560 now it comes down to the two previous performances that 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.200 you had at home, and those were not ideal. What 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.840 it did was it exposed a lot of your awards, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.280 a lot of the things that you had going on 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.520 that are really awful in your game plan. What has 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.560 to be improved if you're going to bottle up anything 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.800 from Pittsburgh and bring it to Arlington at and T Stadium, 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.239 it has to be stopping the run. Literally, it has 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.320 to be that. That is the part of you that 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.520 I think that anybody that looked at those two games 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.120 at home versus the Saints and also the Baltimore Ravens, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.560 your inability to stop the run really packed it that 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.520 whole game and it really kept you out of the 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.639 game or getting you giving you any momentum to win it. So, 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.280 to me, the cast of characters that you're talking about 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.080 that has to be there except for Michael Parsons in tank. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.720 Those guys have to play assignment, alignment, all the things 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.720 that you're gonna hear from many talk shows, but just 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.960 do your job. And that's exactly what they did when 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.440 they went to Pittsburgh and they stopped that run. It's 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.560 the same thing that they did when they played against 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.200 New York and stopped that run. But look, man, let's 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.480 quit all the four our thousand. When it comes down 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.720 to it. Newly, they needed a tune up match. Okay, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.120 give me a Jerry Quarry, give me a give me 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.920 a But was that Benita also before you saw both 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.120 of them? 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.120 Yeah, you give me, give me that. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.520 Fight before you marched me into Madison Square Garden to 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.480 fight Joe Fraser. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.720 Okay, and we needed that. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.600 We know that those running games that we face, man, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.480 they packed a punch and in comes the lions that 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.440 you know this running game does pack a punch, man, 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.000 and you're gonna have to low up and sell out 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.520 to stop the run against Detroit. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.760 Detroit sixth in the league when it comes to running 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.480 the football, one hundred and fifty one a game is 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:13.080 what they roll out. The other issue with them unless 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.200 if they meet their number one fifty one, that's also 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.800 going to mean time of possession. 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.840 The Cowboys going to be in the world to hurt. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.200 And that's that's where to me when I go back 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.440 and I look at these football games, and I gotta 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.960 go ahead check out with my notes, say about what 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.640 their time of possession went to because they won. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.160 It last thirty thirty thirty one something another. I mean 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.520 they're averaging that per game. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.680 They won it last week in Pittsburgh, and that to 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:37.760 me was talk about the Cowboys. 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:38.800 The Cowboys. The Cowboys. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.160 They won the time of possession game last week against Pittsburgh. 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.760 So if they could do that one more time, and 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.120 that means they you need to run the ball themselves, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.160 but figure out a way to keep Detroit from mashing 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:49.840 down on you. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:50.799 Then you got a shot. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.920 Okay, here's the average time of possession right now for 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.400 the Cowboys opponents. Thirty one minutes and fifty two seconds. 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.800 So your defense is on the field basically thirty two minutes. 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:00.279 Ag game. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.680 That can't happen. It just can't not if you're trying 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.200 to win. And then I go back and I look 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.479 at last week, just checking my numbers. Here Cowboys at Pittsburgh. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.479 The Cowboys held the ball for thirty two minutes in 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.560 twenty nine seconds. Yeah, it's you know, you took about 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.080 twenty seven thirty I mean the end of the day, man, 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.760 when you were giving up basically thirty two minutes and 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.280 you out there for twenty seven minutes. That's madter. It 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.839 doesn't seem like a lot. But that matters. That's one 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.719 two drives that we're talking about here, that your defense 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.280 is not on the football field. So that's why I'm 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.920 all about the Cowboys trying to run the ball. Shorten 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.720 what not Pittsburgh, but shorten what the Lions were able 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.120 to do running the ball last week Pittsburgh. You look 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.760 at running the ball, they were challenged. They only had 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.320 ninety two yards and they averaged three point five a carry, 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.920 but they had twenty six toes for ninety two yards. 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.599 That's gonna be hard to do because Najie Harris in 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.200 that Pittsburgh run game is not. 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.680 On part of what the Lions are doing here. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.960 So yeah, so it may just be maybe you only 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.000 allow the one hundred two hundred and three, but that's 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:06.720 your onng point of what you got. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:07.680 You got to stop to run the. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.719 Blueprints out here, absolutely been out there, blueprints out here. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.560 You know what to do. Pittsburgh couldn't do it. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.440 Yeah, they try to, They try to, and it doesn't 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.560 help that your quarterback was limited this week. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.000 The quarterback will not be limited. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.719 No, the quarterback will have better weapons around it, better 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.880 run game, better tied in better, some mean, the whole 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.119 thing is better offensively the lines. Heck, I just would 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:32.599 not be surprised if the lines were playing on Super Sunday. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.159 When I think about just what they have right now 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.120 to represent the NFC, which is pretty wide open. I 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.120 mean when you think about, well, who's who's technically the 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.640 best team right now? Five and Old Minnesota in the NFC. 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.680 Do I believe they'll go to the Super Bowl? No, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.640 not right now, not sold but ken alliance with what 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.440 they have, being able to run the football, having some 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.120 explosive weapons and some defense, Yeah, that can get you there. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:00.560 So to me, this is as a matchup. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.279 Even if the Cowboys don't win this game, the Cowboys 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.040 are going to have faced in their last two games, 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.520 in my opinion, two teams that could would not shock 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.160 me if they were in the Super Bowl. Baltimore Detroit. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.080 That's not far fetched. They probably won't get there, but 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.160 if they got there, I wouldn't be surprised. 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.000 Yeah, this is a team also in Detroit. If you 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.240 probably evaluated the film on them, this is a team 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.760 that can embarrass you at home, not just beat you. Okay, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.280 their numbers as you go down the list of those stats, 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.200 you know they own time of possession against teams that 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.400 they play against. And they, oh, by the way, have 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.120 two running backs that are probably in that top ten 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.000 range in numbers in the NFL. What they do as 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.400 far as touchdowns is what they do as far as rushes, 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.520 what they do on first down, it's very impactful for 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.720 them as a team. But as you you know, look 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.600 when you talk to anyone around this building, any of 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.200 the experts. So talk to Nate Newton, He'll tell you, man, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.560 that offensive line for the Detroit Lions is one that's 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.840 probably the strength of their team. And undoubtedly the weakness 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.960 on our team is our what the D line, and 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.960 so those things when they collide, I think it's automatic 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.960 for people to say, look, these things not just nullify themselves. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.040 But that's where the strength of you say, Detroit can 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.160 put you in a situations where for four quarters they 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.880 can easily have two hundred and fifty three hundred yards 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.760 rushing in a game versus the Dallas Cowboys defense that 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.400 hasn't seemed like they could stop anybody in those games, 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.200 versus Baltimore and you know, versus the Saints. That's why 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.720 I say, clearly you have to sell out over shown 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.480 you have to sell out, Chauncey Golston, You have to 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.600 sell out. This isn't this game where you could play 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.240 hero ball, jump, jump around holes or do any of that. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.560 You have to be so disciplined in everything that you 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.199 do in these last two games. Newly, that's where I've 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.840 gotten hope from seeing Zim's defense rise to the occasion 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.280 people have said in New York, what happened in New York? 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.839 They did move the ball quite honestly, well on you, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.600 but Daniel Jones just couldn't finish the deal. But they 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.160 stopped them last game versus the Steelers, you got the stop. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.160 You made that rushing attack for the Steelers. Look average. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.199 Now here's a team that's gonna come in that's gonna 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.800 test you completely, and you can't say, oh, we're just 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.240 gonna blank them, We're gonna shut them out one hundred percent. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.960 You have to say, look, they can't be this effective 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.319 the number everyone's been saying, one hundred and twenty five yards. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.760 If you can limit them to one hundred and twenty 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.240 five yards, oh, but the golf is going to have 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.000 to find another aspect to that offense in order to 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.160 keep them balance. He's got to throw the ball around, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.280 and I think that's where the Cowboy defense want to 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.520 see him throwing it. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:34.760 One. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.760 There are two areas that concerned me about this Cowboys 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.880 team in terms of trying to win this game. Number One, 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.400 the turnover march for the year. They're minus one, right, 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:50.959 tied for nineteenth in the league. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:51.480 Not good. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.920 They won last week despite losing the turnover battle. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:56.160 Three to one. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.400 That don't happen often in this especially on the road. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:04.120 On the road, you can't keep playing with fire like that. 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:05.360 You just can't. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:10.640 So the Cowboys have got to protect the football, have to. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.240 We saw in that Green Bay game. The playoffs right again. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.719 You know, Dak, don't a pixe like. You can't do 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.360 these kinds of things. If you want to beat a 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.640 good team. Think you are on the same page. Detroit's 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.880 a good football team. This is a good football team. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.600 Made the playoffs last year, made the NFCY Championship game line. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.560 This is a good football team. You cannot lose the 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.640 turnover margin at home. Can't do that second thing, dude. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:36.920 The penalties, this is this is bad. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.640 Each week. It's not getting any better. Okay. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:46.360 Notes from last week penalties eleven for eighty seven this 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.920 year in the league, penalty yards three hundred and thirty 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.480 on forty three flags tied for third in the league. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.520 Hekma Detroit's fourteenth tied for fourteenth. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:10:59.240 And penalties. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.839 So you can't have that kind of margin out here. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.120 You can't turn the ball over and then shoot yourself 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.040 in the foot. You can't have holding then we throw 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.040 a pick or we fumble the football. You can't do 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.200 that if you're trying to win a football game. So 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.080 these are things and I know people point to the 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.440 coaches and they give Mike McCarthy a lot of credit. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.000 When I talk to some guys with Super Bowl rings, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.840 they tell me, Nuie, this is all the players. The 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.000 players have to be the ones to understand they can't 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:26.880 lose the football. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.360 Because the coaches say, what, we don't coach What that was. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.640 Bill Parcels, Which I just felt like that one we 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:34.200 just saying. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.040 I mean, but every coach is going to kind of 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.160 lean to we don't coach penalties, and it's where it happens. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.679 I think that penalizes the Cowboys the most when they 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.480 have that holding penalty. Guiden has this holding penalty down 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.080 in the red zone. It backs them up. How many 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.960 times over the years have the Cowboys been in scoring 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.400 position and all of a sudden penalties started to take place. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.839 And this just hadn't happened on the McCarthy It happened 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.040 to other previous administrations as well as well. Whether the 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.319 Cowboys are penal like, I'm not even going to the 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.920 stigma the referees, none of that. It's something that they 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.840 have to stop if they want to play championship level football, 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.240 if they want to be that team playing in the playoffs, 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.559 they have to stop it. They have to because right 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.880 now it's killing them. It's just like the turnovers. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:15.319 Right right, the penalty. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.000 So you can't be out here having first in fifteen 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.440 or second and twenty. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:20.280 You can't do that. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.679 And then oh, by the way, let's go get the 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.959 ball away on a fumble war interception. You can't beat 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.199 good teams like that. So you get away with against 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.200 the Giants. You can do that against the Giants last week. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.640 You got away with this kind of stuff in Pittsburgh. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:32.800 Not this week. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.600 This week you got to lock in and focus because 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.160 you're not good enough against this team. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:44.160 What does what does a win versus Detroit do for 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:53.600 Mike McCarthy. 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.840 See I'm the outlier on that. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:56.160 Okay, to me, last week solidified one more to me, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.960 last week solidified once again. This is a This is 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.600 one of the better coaches in the if not elite, 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:05.880 in the NFL. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.400 Top five, for sure, you are an outlived I mean, 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.240 I'm just telling you right now with that state, that 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.760 opening statement, you are an outlier of Newie shrugs. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.200 And you know it when you say that. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:22.720 Okay, So all right, give me your just top five coaches, 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.400 not in order, just your top five. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.600 In the current league right now, right now. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.559 Man, I'm gonna go Shanahan, I'm gonna go Andy Reid, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:39.240 I'm gonna go McVeigh, I'm gonna go I'm missing somebody, 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.160 but I'm just off the top. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.959 Tomlin. I'm gonna go Big. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:52.960 Mike Harball, Harbord. Yeah, I gotta throw Harball in now six. Yeah, Okay, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.959 you didn't put Sean Payne. I didn't say Sean Payne 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.320 no intentionally. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.400 When I go in there and I look at this 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.520 list of Mike is in there. This guy's fifteenth in 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.400 the league all time when it comes to win. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:05.880 What you gotta say, Sean Payton my back. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.439 But I'm just saying when you talk about just what 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:15.320 he's been able to do. And I know this is 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.120 on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, but. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.280 I'm just gonna tell the truth. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.000 This is not an easy place to coach because you 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.800 don't just get to coach. Thank you the owners having 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.680 a press conference while you're having a press conference after 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.560 the game, and more people show up to. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:31.880 Hear the owner than you. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.880 Interesting, it's Tuesday at eight thirty. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.360 You don't know what the owner's gonna. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:42.240 Say about who's healthy, who's not, who's playing, who's not, who's. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.840 Yeah, giving up the store right, tell everybody was up. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.640 So this is this is not a regular coaching job. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.520 This ain't Robert Sala who just had to deal with 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.040 the crazy quarterback. You know, you gotta deal with what 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.160 the owner's gonna say on his show. Then the son's 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.000 got his show son out here giving away stuff. This 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.200 is not an easy job. Then I got my star 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.680 playing with a podcast. I don't know what he's gonna say. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.600 Then I got my safety one day saying something about 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.080 the owner. Then we lose a playoff game, got the 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.040 wide receiver, mama own social said something about the quarterback. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.640 Then I gotta go through the off season quarterback and 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:18.400 I signed ADC receiver and I signed I've got to 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.600 play it straight so I don't mess uping getting the 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.800 owner mad at me because I'm up. I don't want 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.880 the players get mad at me because I'm up, and 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:25.680 I don't want to lose that. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.360 This is not an easy job. 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.800 Michae Lombardy always does a really good job in talking 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.320 about with the Cowboys, you have to deal with Jerry. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.360 Jerry is a part of the show. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:40.320 He's a you know, if you think about who's interviewed 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.520 and who we talk to the most during the week, 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:52.440 it's Dak Jerry, Micah McCarthy's down the line. This is 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:57.080 not in Denver, Champagne. Do you know who owns Denver Broncos. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.040 I do not to Walmart to Walmart for you don't know? Yeah, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.440 you don't know. You okay, you have intimate knowledge of 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.960 this team. It was because me and Joe Green is 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.600 your your uncle the Hall of Famer? What's the last 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.440 time when's the last time we heard the Rooneys on 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.280 the radio show? Having TV interview? I hadn't seen him, 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.160 I hadn't seen them. You might have seen him at 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.640 an owners meet and give him a statement, but so 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.720 so so when you were Mike McCarthy are dealing with that. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:27.720 It was one time, and I can't remember which one 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.920 it was. It was a draft press conference. Chris Bean 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.800 remind me it was when McCarthy was it was Jerry 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.280 Steven McCarthy was up there. Nobody asked McCarthy something, and 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:37.720 then finally just kind of joked. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.160 I don't even know why I'm here. It's the true. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.640 You guys could do this without me exactly because we 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:45.680 really didn't want to ask. 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.640 Him any draft questions. We know Jerry gonna do what 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:49.120 you want to do. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.480 So when I think about what he's done, like last 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.280 week against Pittsburgh, being down with so much winning that 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.480 football game, I give that more points than the average 0:16:58.520 --> 0:16:59.000 fan does. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.400 Todd Archer VSPN and I. Todd and I've had good conversation. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.120 Sounds like, you know, hey, McCarthy didn't do anything more 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.879 than what Jason Garrett did. He was brought in to 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.240 take this team passed to the next level and he 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.960 hasn't done yet. That's a black and white way of 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.800 looking at it, But I also look at the contexts 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.200 of it. What you have to do to be the 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:20.200 head coach here. This is well, this is the equivalent 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.000 of managing the New York Yankees when George Steinbrenner was 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.840 a round and it's not easy. Steinbrenner went through folks. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.760 Steinbrenner said stuff. Joe Tory knew how to handle and 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:31.840 he was excellent at it. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.440 But you know what Tory always had. He always had 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:35.840 a stacked roster too. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.959 But when I watched, when I watched the job that 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.720 Mike McCarthy is doing, and you know, I'm a vegan, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.119 so I'm one of those guys that I know the 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:48.040 difference between a beanburger and a real burger. Okay, right now, 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.320 right now, right now, Mike McCarthy is cooking with impossible meat. 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.760 And he's still getting the job done. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:55.119 Okay. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:18:02.720 I mean, you talk about the talent, you talk about 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.439 the talent level, and there's so many people when they 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.760 have opinions about the Dallas Cowboys, they don't respect the 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.760 talent level of this roster. Ricefully slow, especially when you 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.919 look around the NFL. But I think this win versus 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.680 Detroit would definitely put people on notice, but also show 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.000 you what Mike McCarthy is getting it done with he's also. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:19.639 The play caller. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.400 Last week they had to change the gameplay. They were 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.359 getting the ball out quick. We hadn't seen the Cowboys 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.840 played that kind of football game, and you needed Jalen 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:35.040 Tobert out there with bad levels. They were broken, I 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.159 don't know, broke according to Talent Smith, you know you 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:39.360 needed that out there. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:39.840 You need it. 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.800 Okay, they're going to double cd Lamb. How did you 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.000 come up with a new game? Mike McCarthy did it. 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.560 Mike McCarthy, in my opinion, has also not gotten enough 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.919 credit for what happened last year when Mike McCarthy was like, Yo, 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.840 Kellen morn needs to go, Jerry, I need this, give 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.280 it to me Dak. The last year here with Kellen Moore, 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.120 Dak led the league in picks. He who had Dak. 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.320 Leading the league in touchdown No one nobody talks about 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.119 that career year for Dack ceedee lamb career year. And 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:09.960 I know losing to the Green. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.960 Bay Packers took away so much of that luster and shine. 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:17.040 But your job, if you're a real fan, don't just 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.919 look at the sizzle. Go dive into the stake and 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.480 see what it is you're getting. If Mike McCarthy's not 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.800 here next year. You need to get one, a leader 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.520 of men who's able to lead the locker room. You 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.879 don't see any dis engineer, Yeah, you don't. You need 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.840 leadermen in the locker room, and you need a play call. 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:34.280 And you're gonna have to have a guy that can 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:35.760 get along with the front office too. 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:36.000 Right. 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.879 Who oh, by the way, can what the owners saying? 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:43.479 Okay, let me let me go to the press conference 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.160 and digest what he said. 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:49.160 Because there's the press conference, then there's the walk off. 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.960 You get the mean answers in the walk off, right, you. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:58.680 Get to you get to so what did you Did 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.360 you really mean this? This? 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:00.720 That? 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.080 And you get a little deep. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.760 Okay, so to the uninitiated, what does that mean when 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:05.280 they walk off? 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:05.800 What is? 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:07.639 Come on? Come on, we get the people in education. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.520 There is the press conference that we see on Dallas 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.000 cowboy dot com. Put on your phone, check it out. 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.920 And then when he's done, the media walks with Mike. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.199 They walk off with him. Recorders aren't going. There's no 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:26.840 cameras allowed. All right, So heck you said that. 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:29.480 Did you really mean this? 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.800 You protected player there? But did they run the right play? 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:40.360 What was that play designed to do. That's the walk off, 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:45.119 and so that's where you get it. For instance, on 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.680 media Mash, Clarence Hill came out and said, on the play, 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.280 Rico daddle fumble, he ran, he ran the wrong way. 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.000 And he got the answer where. 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.800 I don't know it was in the walk off. 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.479 But that's the kind of question you ask in the 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.000 walk off, was that play run in the right Since 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:06.960 your head coach doesn't want to stand up here in 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.040 front of a podium and tell the whole world, yeah, dude, 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.120 ran the wrong play. A lot of the coaches don't 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.040 want to do that, but in a walk off situation 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.080 where you're trying to understand the truth of what's happened, 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:22.880 they'll give that to you because the players can give 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.320 it to you and assistant code like that. 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:25.679 Ain't that ain't no state secret. 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.360 They were designed to go to the right, you cut back, left, 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.000 jumped up there, boomball went out. 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.480 So that's what you can get in the walk off. 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.720 The OC basically said in his press conference, he didn't 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.640 say he hit the wrong round. He goes he needs 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:44.520 to slow down a little bit, and that's what he said. Okay, 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.080 so how you protect the player. 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:46.800 Right, So that's great. 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.199 You know, when he gets the ball, he needs to 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.359 slow down a little bit. He's going too. 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:51.359 Fast and so. 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:55.240 When shot, he says that, and if you get shoty 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.800 in the walk off, so he ran the wrong way 0:21:58.400 --> 0:21:59.840 and then he'll probably just look at you like. 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.520 Yes's what he did. And that's that's what the walk 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:02.879 off is. 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:05.920 So it's a way that you, the the media member, 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.119 can get information and the coach can give you something 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:09.919 without trying. 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.320 You know, you're not trying. This is not what hey man, 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:13.480 let's set everybody on fire. 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.000 You're trying to have a better understanding about what's going 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.199 on here and be informed about it. 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:19.719 So that's what the walk off is for. 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:21.239 Like, hey man, I don't want to put this out 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.000 here because I don't want to make anybody. I'm not 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.480 trying to put anybody on blast or give away state secrets. 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:28.639 And she's going to give you a little bit of 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.440 understanding about hey, here's something I'm worried about this there 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.960 you know I have that, and and Mike has been 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:38.359 gracious enough to do that to let you a little 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.040 bit inside about what's going on. And your job and 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.640 the media is not to abuse it and That's that's 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:46.439 the key is hey, if he's going to give you 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:48.360 and I'll say this, that's another thing I would miss 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:49.320 about Mike McCarthy. 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:50.880 Mike McCarthy being able. 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.040 To help educate you at times, and so you have 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.119 an understanding about what's going on here, so you can 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.440 do your job a little bit better. When you get 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:01.320 a coach will give you that kind of stuff. It's 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.480 pretty fun. Now, Parcels wasn't a big walk off guy. 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:05.320 You know what he would do. 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:09.560 Remember what he would do, knew he he'd go, okay, no, 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.440 shut them all off real quick. He'd tell me, everybody, 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.119 shut everything off, make sure everything's not recording, and then 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:17.239 he would tell you what the play is. Turn back 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.320 on again. That's exactly what he would do, all right, 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.600 shut him off, he'd tell it, and then he turn 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:23.280 back on again. 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.160 Right, And and that way said the coach who wants 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.639 to I want to let you guys know, but I 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:30.639 don't want to blast anyone. I don't want to put 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:32.800 anyone out there. But but there's things that you want 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.399 to know. I mean, and and honestly, this is what 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.320 happens in political press conferences too. You know, there's the 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:40.680 stuff they give you and then when you get. 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:44.120 Hey, man, here's the real exactly, here's the real. 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.119 Here's the real, and that's that's that's what it is about. 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.000 When you're in this is public relations. So much of 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.520 this job is public relations. And when Mike is up there, 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.960 I remember Terry Francona talking about, Yeah, you know what 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:56.160 the hardest part of the job was to know when 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.840 I was lying to you guys basically every day. 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:00.680 Garrett was great at the walk off. 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.800 Actually that I was just gonna ask that he was great. 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.800 He was not like Robot it even he was definitely 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:09.600 really great at the walkoff. He tell you stories and 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:10.720 all that kind of stuff is great. 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.600 The one thing I that what I learned from Jason 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:19.800 was what pay attention to what he didn't say. If 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:22.240 he said something effusiveness and the walk off, you know, 0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.760 he'd give you stuff. It's like, okay, so when he's 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:28.200 not giving you something pretty effusive about a player. But 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.800 but Jay, you're very correct, and Jason was very good 0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:32.359 at the walk off. And get I remember whi ime 0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.440 I asked Aboutdak Prescott as a person, he just went 0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.960 on and on how great, how much he loved Dak 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.080 you know, he is a DOC proponent, And it's kind 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.560 of interesting because McCarthy is the same way about Dak. 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.399 You know, they praised him for the man that he 0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.600 is and the leader that he is in the locker room, 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.160 which is kind of interesting when you read social media. 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.320 These people say all these crazy things about him, and 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:52.639 I thought it was also kind of crazy that he 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:54.320 had to basically go up all the way. 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:55.520 Up to the first game to get his money. 0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.760 Yeah, people will tell you this is the kind of 0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.359 guy that I want here as a coach. I want 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.119 that guy here because hecky, you know, it's the toughest position. 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.200 It's sports, Like, Hey, I need a dude I can trust. 0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:11.280 They trust that this guy will do what they need 0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:12.920 him to do and that they can put the plan 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.320 in here and he's not gonna do ask Robert sala. 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:20.240 Hey, we're going to figure out why Ezekiel elliott Is 0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.479 is dumbfounded about his role and how the wires got 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:23.080 crossed on that. 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.160 Let's take a break and I'll take you next. 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:31.120 Right Aristocrat Game Dallascowboys dot Com. 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:32.360 Hey, they're Cowboys Nation. 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.639 Kyle Yeoman's here sharing that same team that brought you 0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:39.879 Buffalo bringing NFL casino games that show America's team on 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.320 and off the reels.

You wanted to know 0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.359 about Ezekielly. 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:51.959 Yes, I thought it was it. 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.800 I thought it was Clarence Hill broke it just basically 0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:58.520 talking about the interview at the locker with Ezekiel Elliott 0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.680 saying that he did have a conversation with the coaches 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.639 and that he was dumbfounded by his role. And then 0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:05.920 Jerry came out in the news and said that they're 0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:09.760 saving Zeke. So I just wanted to. 0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:14.240 Yeah, coach Jones came out and said that, But the 0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.399 coach of the team clearly showed you what he wanted 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:23.960 to do. And yes, it is hard for Zeke to 0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:25.720 not understand because that's what they said. 0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:27.560 They brought him back for that, that's what they've talked 0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:28.040 of all that. 0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:30.920 But I go back into this and it's funny, said, heck, 0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.080 we had this conversation in the office, Yes, said I 0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:37.040 have with somebody. Rico o'donald was having the best game 0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:40.760 of any Cowboy running back this season. You get down 0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.840 here in the red zone. He earned the right for 0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:45.480 the carry. He did earn that right. 0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:45.920 He did. 0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:49.320 Now you bring in Zeke Elliott. 0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:53.400 Off the top of my head, how many toats did 0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:55.480 he have at that point in time? 0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:56.040 Six? 0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:56.560 Six? 0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:59.480 Okay six? And I can't tell you when the last 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.360 tod he had was. I gotta check the game by 0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:04.280 game here. But if he goes in there and he fumbles, 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.120 it's almost like last year with hudder limkey, Hey, what 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:07.920 are we doing this for? 0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:10.080 Why are we going here? 0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.560 So when I just look in terms of just what 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.400 someone's earned, you're here in the fourth quarter. 0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:15.440 It's a fifteen play drive. 0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.800 He's been a part of the drive here, we'll go 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:22.120 take him out to put it in. Ezekiel Elliott. I 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:24.720 can understand what Mike is doing there. I mean I can. 0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:28.640 It's one of those where I can understand the thought 0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.480 The thought process right there isn't crazy. I'm a dance 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:34.719 with who brung me? You've been giving me a pretty 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:37.960 right now. Twenty carries eighty seven yards four point four 0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:38.720 yard average. 0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:39.440 That's what he did. 0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.960 Yes, we know Ezekiel Ellis's reputation down there in the 0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:44.800 red zone and what he's been doing and picked up 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:47.120 a couple of tough runs earlier in the game. 0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:50.120 But I didn't think that was crazy. 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:52.760 Now, the crazy part or the part that which you 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:54.520 could be upset about, or the claims so talked about, 0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:56.600 is how Rico Daddle did ran the wrong way? 0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:58.680 What Ezekiel Elliott runs the wrong way? 0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:02.480 Probably not so him being upset, him not liking what 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:07.600 he's liking. Okay, Zeke's not happy with his role. Dalvin 0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:09.239 Cook ain't happy with his role. He can't even get 0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:10.000 on the active roster. 0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:10.800 Who's happy? 0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.040 But you know, just like everybody else, is not a 0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:15.400 bigger issue because Dak was able to get on that ball. 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.040 But had that ball been lost, this would be a 0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:21.160 bigger issue, especially with him saying he's dumbfounded by his 0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.080 role and oh, by the way, we're down in the 0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:25.920 red zone, which you would have if you was in 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:28.880 at and T Stadium everybody with ze you'd already know 0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:30.880 what the calls would be to get him into the 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:32.080 end zone on that right. 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.480 But at the same time, once again, at this juncture 0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:36.600 in the game. 0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:39.080 It makes sense, dance with who brought you. Rico was 0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:41.360 on fire at that point. He was giving you everything 0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.280 that you need, big runs, moving the chains, keeping the 0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:45.120 possession going. 0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.920 Rico Daldele earned it. You're not wrong on that. 0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:51.040 So I'll say this, okay, and maybe this is where 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.480 some of the dumb founders comes in on this drive. 0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.600 On a third one of the Pittsburgh forty eight, Ezekiel. 0:30:57.160 --> 0:31:00.400 Elliott went up the right end for one yard first down, 0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:03.880 so he did play a part on that at a 0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:04.440 third and one. 0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:08.440 Then they went back to Rico Dawdle for the rest 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:08.760 of that. 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:12.760 Drive and so it was dabble right tackle Prescott in 0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:17.120 complete pass to Elliott. So Elliott we got back in 0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:24.200 the game. Then a pastor ferguson Prescott the lipke el boogie, yes, sir. 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:28.360 Then it was first and four from first and goal 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.320 from the four, and that's when the. 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:33.280 That's when the fumble happened. 0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.040 Yeah, I look man for me, you know, knewie. I 0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:39.360 don't want to get second. 0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:41.120 I'm sorry, second one from the one second one. 0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:45.000 Don't want to get comfortable yet with this running game. 0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.400 We we know that Rico. We saw that one game 0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.240 with Rico and he absolutely came through in the in 0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:53.040 the Pittsburgh game. But I still believe in this by 0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:55.480 committee approach with these two backs, I really do. 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:56.760 I still believe in it. 0:31:57.040 --> 0:32:00.400 And if Rico and if Rico can exact his dominance 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:02.760 in that running game and proved that he is RB one. 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.280 I am all for turning this whole thing over to 0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.240 him and getting him as much help as we possibly can, 0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:10.880 because he is proven that he is that guy. I 0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:14.080 just in that moment right then, it was still all 0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:17.240 hands on deck. And you've seen coaches, other successful coaches, 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.040 winning coaches do the same thing. Hey we're down here, 0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:21.920 come on out, We're gonna put our guy in there. 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:23.400 We know that can get it done down here at 0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.480 the one. I mean, come on, it's not uncustomary to 0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:25.840 see that. 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.920 And time will tell exactly what happens this week. If 0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.600 you're inside the five yard line again, what do you do? 0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:33.560 Do you go to Zeke or Elliott? What happens? What 0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:33.960 do you do? 0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:38.160 But he's you know, he's not happy with his role. 0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:41.640 But along the way, what is that telling you about 0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:43.400 Mike McCarthy thinks about him as play? 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:47.720 Oh that's okay, okay, Then that's probably a part of 0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:49.120 the frustration from Zeke then. 0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:51.640 And if if you're Zeke, you've you've got to be 0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:52.400 a little frustrated. 0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:54.560 Well, don't listen to what Mike says. Looking at what 0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:54.920 he did. 0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:59.840 Absolutely, don't tell me exactly. That's gotta be frustrating. That 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.200 got to be frustrating physique, it has to be cool, 0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:04.920 I mean, and nothing you can do about it. He 0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:06.840 can't put himself in the game. But I'm saying that 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.240 has got to be frustrating for a guy that you 0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:10.480 know has played at a high level. 0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:12.920 That look, it's declining. 0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:16.480 And McCarthy doesn't. Clearly he doesn't think he's that same 0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:18.800 dude he used to be, despite giving the ball on 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:22.000 a third and one that he picked up on that drive. 0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:27.560 So this is this is It's interesting when it happens again. 0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.080 Hopefully we see it on Sunday so we can therefore 0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:32.680 see exactly what is Mike McCarthy do. 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:36.640 It's great. It is a I get you. You want 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.320 the player to be mad because you want him to say, 0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.239 may give you the ball? You want to do that? 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.160 So all right, I got it. Do you want if 0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:43.400 Zekeel I got another one? 0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:45.720 You don't want Ezekiel to say, hey man, cut the check. 0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:47.960 So I got I got another one for you. I 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:54.200 got another question for you. What is the identity of 0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:57.800 the Dallas Cowboys to you? After five games? If they 0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.160 don't have one. Bad they don't have one. What is 0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:01.840 their identity outter five games? 0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:03.840 They gotta win games with their offense. 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:06.880 Their offense has They have to be able to play 0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:10.480 some complimentary football. Uh, to beat a good team? 0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.080 Is that an idea? Is that an? Is that any 0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:14.000 to throw the ball? 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.240 McCarthy is a guy. They are a throw first team. Okay, 0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:21.760 they throw first team, So they're they're a passing team 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.560 that needs to get a complimentary running game so they 0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:27.839 can help the offense, which would help the defense by 0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:28.680 running the clock. 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:28.919 Here. 0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:30.960 They're a team and we talked about it before. Their 0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.160 front running team. They got a school. This is not 0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:35.960 a come from behind team. You get ahead. You get 0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:38.000 ahead on them early. I mean, look at the three 0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:40.520 home games that they've lost this year. Everybody got ahead 0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:43.560 up real quick and ran the ball on. So so 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:47.480 their identity has to be between Dak Prescott playing really 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:52.680 good football and and them establishing some type of run game, 0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:55.480 which last week maybe we've seen it. Because Pittsburgh's a 0:34:55.480 --> 0:35:00.240 good defense. That brings us into the YETI cool customer. Yeah, 0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:06.440 who has to be that guy that's cool ready to 0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:10.040 go under pressure to help the Cowboys against the lines 0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:10.480 who you got. 0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:15.560 Well, I asked a super Bowl champion in Black College 0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.840 Hall of Famer a question about you know YETI cool customer, 0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:29.399 and now I was having that question about he does 0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:33.120 the same, dude, right, But I was having a I 0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:35.239 had a question for him, you know, basically about you 0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:37.319 know who picking the Yetti cool customer in the whole 0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:39.360 nine and then the identity of the team. 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:39.840 And so I. 0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:44.720 Answered the question with, this is a Dak Prescott led team. Okay, 0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:47.080 this is a Dak Prescott led team. And when you 0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:48.960 look at the wins that they've had, he is the 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.600 guy that has been the reason for them pulling those 0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:54.440 victories out even when they had every chance to absolutely 0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:57.200 lose it. And so my Yetti cool customer no secret 0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:00.239 is Dak Prescott. And I feel like his ability to 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:03.520 lead drives and also save this defense he has to 0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:07.680 be the difference also to save this defense versus Cleveland 0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:10.919 I'm excuse me, versus the Detroit Lions. Because you talked 0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.520 about time of possession, all of those things we have 0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:15.399 to get on the field. We have to have those 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:19.719 sustaining drives, and we have to cap it off with scores. 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:23.040 Nobody's talking about those red zone problems yet, but I 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.799 promise you they're getting ready to rear their heads and 0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.360 Dak Prescott has to fix that. You can't come away 0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:30.920 with three points every time and have Brandon Aubrey kick 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:32.240 these seventy yard field goals. 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.600 Cowboys one for four in the red zone and one 0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:36.920 touchdown that got was with twenty seconds left to win 0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:37.680 the football game. 0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:38.759 And with you one hundred. 0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:42.440 Percent, the Cowboys cannot kick three field goals if they 0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:44.120 want to beat the Lions, They're going to have to 0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:48.520 find the red zone with frequency. The Lions average twenty 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:50.640 six points a game, So that just tells you right there, 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:52.960 the Cowboys, you need to at least find three touchdowns 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.000 to be in the football game right just to be 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.239 in it. My YETI cool customer is going to be 0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:00.880 left tackle Tyler Geiton a holding machine. 0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:01.319 Right now. 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:06.680 You've got Ivory lt Aiden Hutchinson coming to town. 0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:10.200 We saw what happened last week. It was a rough 0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:13.440 day for young Geydon and Terrence Steel. 0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:16.800 By the way, yes, but I'm looking at Geyton because 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:19.480 if I'm Aaron Glenn, it's real simple, hey man, let's 0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:21.920 go at this rookie. We're going to test him early 0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.120 and often. Let's see, are the Cowboys going to try 0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:27.799 and do the same quick, quick passing game one more time? 0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:30.080 How do we defend that? But you've got to go 0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:33.120 after him. Goyton got hurt last week, dealt with a knee. 0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:35.960 You got to to me, the cool customer is him 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:38.960 because what did we see in game one against Cleveland 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:41.160 rant and Cleveland. 0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:42.640 Ain't the greatest team in the world right now, but. 0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.680 We didn't hear his name a whole lot, and now 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.360 people have film and so they're going after him. But 0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:53.080 to me, if Geyton can play a good football game, 0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.399 it makes it easier for Dak Prescott. Your run game 0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:58.719 may have a shot. But he's got he's got to 0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:00.960 be just can't have. 0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:02.360 All the holding calls. 0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:04.919 He's got to be better for this for this team. 0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:06.640 So that's why you need him to be the Yetti 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:08.480 cool customer in my opinion. 0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.160 So YETI cool customer because you're afraid of what him 0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:12.360 being victimized? 0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:12.759 Are you? 0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:16.080 That is what I'm saying. It's more fear. 0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:21.120 You can't come on, come on, he tell the truth, 0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:23.200 and man, you're afraid right now? 0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:28.439 This is week TJ is one hundreds stop the game, 0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:29.080 handing the. 0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:35.759 Ball on the man whole stadiums out there, now, Yeah, 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.759 I mean, dude, man, dude's trying to make Pro Bowl 0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:39.200 this week. 0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:41.719 Look, So that's why I asked you this.
