Uh. We got some things 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.960 we can hit today, and we're gonna start first with 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.440 Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones was on with our sister station 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.600 here this morning in the local market one oh five 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.800 dot three the Fan, Sean and r. 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:15.800 J and Bobby. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.440 So I hate that they don't give Bobby his love. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.240 Give Bobby his love and Bobby and they had a 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.520 you might as well give Peyton some love too. But anyway, 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.479 you uh that he was on with them this morning. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:28.640 Excuse me. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.080 A couple of quotes that I have from him that 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.080 I want to get some reaction from you guys. The 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.240 first quote that I that I thought was interesting, he 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.040 was talking about, uh, the trade deadline. 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.400 Yeah, yeah, and uh. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.959 And his quote was, I would really extend to improve 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.160 our team right now because I think we have a 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.840 team that's a contender. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:49.360 That was interesting to me. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:50.960 Now he also went on to say, and I don't 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.160 have the quote in front of me, but he went 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.040 on to say that it has to come from the 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.960 other team. And if you know Jerry, I know Sean 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.760 dived into the question, which he should have it great 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.920 follow up question. So why is that the case? If 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.680 you know Jerry, you've heard this year after year after year. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.760 It's negotiating power. He thinks of it as like, if 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.359 he's the one making the phone call, he loses his leverage. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.799 If someone else is making the phone call, they're calling 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.679 and they are in a compromise, negotiating position. That's the 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.080 way he looks at negotiations, and so that's why he 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.080 does it that way. I guess my question for you 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.760 guys is just react to his statements not only about 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.520 kind of how he looks at it, but also the 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.760 fact that he says he's willing to extend himself a 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.560 little bit, And what are your thoughts there. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.000 I think it's it's exactly what you said. And I 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.440 had this conversation right before the show with Nick Harris, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.280 and he was, you know, asking if I thought it 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.799 was a leverage situation, and I do, because you know, 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.239 Jerry Jones, the consummate deal making, the consummate businessman, an entrepreneur. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.560 He doesn't want to show any kind of weakness to 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.959 potential you know, suitors and those that he's going to 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.720 have conversations with. So that completely makes sense and we're 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.399 accustomed to that. But I think it's also true that 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.519 this Cowboys roster is price versus pressure. So if you 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.960 look back a few years ago, the wide Receiver by 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.800 committee situation failed miserably and it was the same Jerry 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.560 Jones where you know you're gonna have to call me, 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.160 You're going to have to call me, but didn't blink 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.200 when it came time to toss a first round pick 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.240 onto the table for the Raiders to get a Marty Cooper. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.880 Now you fast forward. Now, if you lose Treyvon Diggs 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.400 and Deron Bland isn't able to step into that role, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.560 and or Jeordyan Lewis isn't completely back physically, if you 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.360 lose Lve and then you don't see Marquise Bell play 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.560 out of his mind against Los Angeles and DeMont Clark 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.880 step up. If you know, when you were down three 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.239 offensive line starters, if those young guys didn't step in 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.280 and show they could do something. I say all of 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.800 that to say, I think the Cowboys feel comfortable with 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.840 where they are roster wise. Could they stand to upgrade, 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.440 absolutely at certain positions, but they're not pressed to do so. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.760 So I don't think while I agree that Jerry Jones 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.280 is using it as leverage, I really think that excuse me, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.080 I really think there's also truth in the fact that 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.680 he just doesn't feel pressed to make that move right now, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.160 so it probably will have to be someone calling them. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.760 I think they're going to call out and put feelers 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.480 and things like that. But as far as the price goes, uh, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.960 it has to be something that is palatable for them. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.680 It's not. They're not giving a first round pick away 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.360 for anybody based on the needs or lack the roof 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:09.280 of this current roster. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.000 I miss reckless Jerry Jones. I missed the guy I 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.480 worked for when he just would go out and say, 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.560 you know, we're gonna we're gonna do We're gonna do this, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.000 We're gonna get to we're gonna do. Give two for 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.520 Joey Galloway, I don't care. We'll throw in an extra 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:24.480 six to get it time. 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.360 Then you get a Roy Williams wide receiver. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.440 You know. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.400 But that's that, you know what. To me, that's that's 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.440 that's part of it, you know what. And I say 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.840 that in if he had Will McLay in this pro 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.960 department instead of me sitting in that chair, he might 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.200 have been better off. He might have been better off 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.800 the times where we talk about a Roy Williams or 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.760 a Joey Galloway or one of those those times, you know, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.599 maybe we misevaluated those guys. 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.040 Not maybe we did. I mean, we paid too much 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.280 for those guys, you know. But if you have a. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.359 Current group of pro scouts, college scouts, the expertise of 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.080 Will McLay here, Jerry Jones has a right to stand 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.559 at that table and hold those dice, you know. With me, yeah, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.800 pushing the chips in there might have been a little 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.640 bit more of you know, maybe a little bit more 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.640 of a gamble. But you have a department that knows 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.440 what the hell they're doing. And to me, I miss 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.960 that evaluate. I miss him stepping up and saying we've 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:17.799 got to get better. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:18.880 Here, we got it. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.320 And I'm not acting asking to be a reactionary to 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.440 what the Philadelphia Eagles did with with with going to 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.839 get because you know, there's things with Bayer that that 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.560 are you know, he's a he's a good player, He's 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.200 not what he was five years ago. He's okay in 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.440 the run, he's good in coverage. You know, those are 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.160 things that will help Philadelphia. But I would like to 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.240 see Jerry Jones if the Pro Department comes to him 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.080 with names and says, Boss, we could do it with 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.480 this guy, or we could make we could shore up 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.480 this problem, or we can add. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.359 This corner here. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.440 You know, I think he's better equipped than he was 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.839 twenty five years ago with me sitting in that chair, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.440 and so I would take the gamble. If I'm Jerry Jones, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.800 you know, and I understand responsibility and how much we 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.840 love the draft and all that, but this, this NFC 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.320 is wide damn open right now. You look at what's 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.800 going on in San Francisco. They're starting to get banged up. Minnesota. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.559 There's some teams that are started off poorly. There probably 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:16.840 gonna play some better football. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:17.880 You gotta be. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.400 Ready for when that happens. This conference is for the 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.400 take it. This Super Bowl run is for the take it. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.320 Look what's happening in Buffalo. Look what's happening in some 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.280 of these other teams. One in five teams finding a way. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.360 The beat teams are playoff ready. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.039 You know, I'm if I'm Jerry Jones eighty years old, 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.120 Jerry Jones, I'm not waiting for anybody. He always says 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.440 it himself, don't Tom, I don't have time for a 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.839 good time. I need to get this thing done now. 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.520 And if it puts Steven and Will and those guys 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.960 in kind of a bad position, you know, well we 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.240 got to do something here. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.480 And I'm not saying it at a desperation. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.719 I'm saying it as I miss the days of Jerry 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.960 Jones just saying, the hell with it, Let's go get 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.000 this guy and see what happen. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.960 Yeah, the way I look at it, I agree with 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.839 both of you guys, And I think from the standpoint 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.760 of you almost want to see Jerry just say and 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.760 it goes to this point, I think this is actually 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.640 what he's saying. He's saying, i'd really extend myself because 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.400 I think I got a really good team. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.360 I kind of want to see him push all the 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:17.320 chips into the table. 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.480 I kind of want to see him say, if you 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.880 see the right player out there, and I'm going to 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.400 ask you guys this question in a second, but if 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.520 you see the right player out there, whatever the position 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.360 is that you feel like, man, if we get this guy, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.240 it puts us over the top, and you got to 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:32.520 spend the first rounder for him. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:33.960 Spin the first rounder. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.800 I think you've got a team that's right there on 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.960 the cusp, and like you said, the NFC is there 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.640 for the taking. But right now, I think most people 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.040 would believe you're a little bit beyond. And that's actually 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.360 we'll get to another quote that Jerry had. They're a 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.880 little bit below where maybe the forty nine ers or 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.400 the Eagles are right now, is there that player out 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.960 there that can push you over the top? And that's 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.000 kind of where you want to see Jerry back up 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.720 those words and say, Okay, extend yourself, let's go get 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:58.200 that guy. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.400 I think for me what lessons it a little bit 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.320 is having seen them in the same offseason go out 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.000 and get a guy like Gilmour, go out and get 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.320 a guy like Brandon Cook's and you did it again 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.920 in the same offseason. That's not something that we've kind 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.640 of seen in these past several offseasons. So it shows 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.080 that there is, you know, the willingness for Jerry to 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.440 go out there and say, you know what, I'm going 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.880 to address this and this now again. Could it still 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:21.800 you know, could they stand to upgrade the roster at 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.400 certain spots as far as going od with it, just 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.080 overdosing and saying, Okay, even though we have this and 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.840 this and this and this guy's working out well, and 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.160 this guy's working out well, but they're not that guy, 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.200 which is kind of leading to your question, Yeah, you 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.440 could always go out there and do that question. Being 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.959 how comfortable is a team that's that drafts so well 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.720 and puts so much stock into drafting, having already given 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.360 up a fifth of fifth a fourth right, So that 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.640 comes into the conversation as well. So I'm just I'm 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.480 curious as far as what you think they would happen. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.280 I love fishing. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.120 I love fishing more than anything, And every time I fish, 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.200 I throw something really big out there, and I hope 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.040 that a fourteen or fifteen pound bass jumps on that lure. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.079 But I throw something really big because I'm trying. I'm 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.120 trying to catch a big damn fish. You know, I'm 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.000 trying to find a way to win this win this division. 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.680 I'm trying to find a way to win the conference. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.240 I'm trying to find a way to get to the 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.480 super Bowl with the team I currently have. So I 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.720 feel like, you know, I'm not worried about a four 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.760 or five and a six. I'm not worrying about those picks. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.960 I'm not I'm gonna throw, you know, if the right 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.280 players out there. All I'm asking is Steven Jones allow 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.760 Jerry the latitude that if the Pro Department comes to 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.920 him and says, boss, we got a call on this. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.360 They called us on this, or maybe you're fishing, maybe 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.000 you're going to throw the chum in the water and 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.360 try and get the big fish here. Maybe you're calling 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.240 somebody that might be you're hearing some whispers that they're 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.400 interested in moving on from a guy. It never hurts 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.560 to pick up the phone and make that call. I know, 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.560 Jerry says, from point of leverage, but he's got a 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.000 chance to If they identify the right guy or two, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.319 it could put this team into a great position for 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.679 you know, and I use for example, the team to 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.200 just here in Dallas, to just got to the World 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.559 Series of the Texas Rangers, Chris Young, the general manager, 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.160 made two huge deals. 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.120 Right at the trade deadline. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.199 You know, he went out and got Montgomery, and he 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.400 went out and got shirs Er Sures got nicked up. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.120 You know, that's unfortunate. He's trying to pitch his way back. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.000 But Montgomery has pitched so well in the playoffs. It's 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.080 got them to the World Series. The Rangers didn't have 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.920 that before the trade deadline. You know, sometimes you just 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.480 have to say, damn it, we're gonna go do this, 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.360 and you know, nobody will fault. Nobody fault now if 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.920 you want to fault what we did in the early 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.839 two thousands, absolutely, absolutely you know, gave up some pick, 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.440 maybe identified the wrong guy. Maybe Roy Williams didn't work out, 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.240 maybe Joe Galloway didn't work out, maybe Amari Cooper didn't work. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.120 Out like you thought. But you know what, damn it. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:45.720 We tried. 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.600 We tried to make a difference here. That word and 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.160 that's well, I'm just saying, well to them, it may 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.200 became personal. Yeah, became personal there, and we all understand that. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.600 I'm no, and that's fine. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.360 I just yeah, So that's what I'm saying. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.600 You're better equip to go and identify players now then 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.040 you work twenty five years ago when Jerry was just throwing, 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.280 you know, throwing the dice at the table. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:08.520 Yeah. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.760 I will say this, over the last two years, they've 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.800 actually gotten some players in trades that have been players, 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:14.720 players for their team. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.079 Listen to the last five. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.640 You had Cooks, you had Gilmour, you had Hankins, you 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.560 had Trey Lance here recently, and you had dig Monaghany. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.439 No obviously with Igmannoganty that was a toss up. Yeah, 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.040 you're getting rid of your guy. It wasn't working for 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.480 a guy that wasn't working. To see if one of 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.400 y'all could figure it out and make it work. So 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.040 you just you take that as you take it. But 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.400 you look at those other guys and those are the 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.240 kinds of trades that we had seen. Philly traditionally do 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.680 those kinds of trades where it's like it's a good timing. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.960 The guy may not be at the top, but he's 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.440 still pretty dog on good he can add something to 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.400 our team. I think the difference is Philly has also 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.920 done those deals like the aj Brown deal where they 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.040 gave up significant capital. Go get a guy that is. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.080 In his prime. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.719 Right That's where I'm like, if Dallas can identify that 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.880 kind of player right now, a guy that's in his 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.400 prime that you're willing to spend that first round or on. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.120 He can help you now, but he's also going to 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.120 help you down the road as well. Yeah, that's the 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.920 kind of move I would love to see them made. 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.320 But then I was going to say this to that point, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.959 stepping into the role of Devil's advocate. If a guy's 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.920 in his prime, then you have to look at contractually, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.880 when is he coming do Because in house you have 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.880 some horses coming. Do you got Ceedee Lamb coming? Do 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.200 you got Michael Parsons come and do You're likely going 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.800 to give this extension to Deck, another extension to dek Prescott. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.280 You got some hogs, come and do so if a 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.240 guy is in his prime and there are a couple 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.920 of names that are floating around in my head, but yeah, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.280 you grab those guys and that's wonderful because you got 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.080 to go. I'm what you one hundred percent, Brian, Seize 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.800 the moment, Seize the moment, because these moments. That's their motto, 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.560 that's carbamnia. Seize everything, seize the moment. So I'm with 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.800 you on that. I'll do it. But I'm saying as 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.880 far as uh, laying out all the variables of the conversation, 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.959 that's another variable of it, and saying, Okay, you're going 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.640 you give up this, you know, premium capital and premium 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.080 conversation for this guy. You better if you do it, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:00.960 you better make sure you were able to keep that 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.640 guy and pay that guy and the guys that have 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.120 proven that they deserve to be paid in house as well. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.960 I'm willing to even accept and I know it's easy 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.640 for me to say because it ain't my money, but 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.920 I'm willing to accept the fact that I might put 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.640 myself in a little bit of a cap strapped situation 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.760 down the line always because I look at my team 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.480 right now and I'm like, man, I don't know that 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.400 I'm gonna have a better shot than I have right now. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.000 Oh you could go. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.160 I'm going to go push all the chips in and 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.120 see what happens. And as you said, Brian, if it 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:29.559 doesn't work, at least I didn't go down. 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:30.520 I went down swinging right. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.319 I think fans would appreciate the fact that you gave 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.079 it a go. You know, it's better. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.079 You know, the fans do not want you to sit 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.200 there and not do anything when you realize that maybe 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:40.319 you have an opportunity. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.600 Everybody's looking at these games they're watching. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.520 They don't see dominant teams playing in the National Football League. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.400 I'll say this and I'll remind you. I think we're 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.600 going up on the year of when the forty nine 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.600 ers made the trade for Christian McCaffrey. 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:52.600 You know what did they do. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.439 They sat there and looked at Christian McCaffrey, and they're going, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:56.880 this guy's often hurt. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.640 He's going to miss six seven games. He didn't miss anything. 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.120 Guys playing with an oblique problem and if he was 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.280 in Carolina, he would have missed six weeks with them, 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.120 you know, But he played Goes to San Francisco and 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.920 now he scored sixteen, sixteen consecutive games with the touchdown. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.719 Those are the kinds of trades when you can identify 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.160 what you need, the type of player, the compensation, and 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.360 make it work. That's all you as a fan, that's 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.680 all you can ask for for the organization. Nobody cares 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.280 about your cap problems. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. They want 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.440 you to win games, you know. They want you to 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.520 compete for playoff wins and championships and stuff. They don't 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.680 have time to hear you like, well, you know, we've 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.760 got these players and no offense. Patrick, I don't want 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.520 to hear about paying Dak or paying these guys. I 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.200 know it's part of the game. But teams figure it 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.280 out every damn day. We thought Philadelphia was going to 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.520 be just demoralized in their cap situation, they went out 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.480 and resigned all their guys. You know, I don't want 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.240 to hear about the cap problems for any teams anymore. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:57.440 You figure it out. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.120 There's teams that the Packers are awful right now, you 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.920 know why they're carrying forty eight million dollars a dead cap. Fine, 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.080 but they got rid of Aaron Rodgers, and they're learning 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.520 about their quarterback and if they're bad enough, they'll draft 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.960 a quarterback in this draft. I don't want to hear 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:14.120 about cap problems and financial physical responsibility. I want to 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.080 hear about wins and going forward and making this thing 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.160 work when you have a chance to put this thing 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:19.520 to bed. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:20.960 And I want to be clear, and no offense to 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.520 me because I'm not taking a fence because we're actually 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.080 on the same page here. I'm on record all over 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.120 the place is saying I don't really care about CAP. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.760 I think CAP is a myth for the most part, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.800 because when you look at the Drew Brees years in 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.920 New Orleans, right, cap magic every year they just figure 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.800 out a way to manipulate the cap. There's always a 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.080 way to manipulate the cap. I'm just simply saying, as 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.400 far as the Cowboys mindset, you can one believe that 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.800 they're upstairs upstairs having that part of the conversation. So 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.920 I agree with you. You know, I'm simply saying, from the 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.560 fans that are listening, you just got to know if 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.680 you're wondering, what's the conversation upstairs, that's part of the nose. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.760 They hate what I'm saying right now. They absolutely I'm 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.560 going to get a text after somebody listen to this 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.920 and they're gonna tell me you're full of s right now, Brian, But. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.800 You know what they're gonna say. The CAP's a real thing, 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:04.360 and by the way. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.120 For it is a real thing. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.560 And they talk about spreadsheets and projecting out and who 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.960 you have to pay and all that. But there's also 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.960 a time where you have to I'm not worried about 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.640 twenty twenty seven. I'll be sitting at the lake House 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:17.680 in twenty twenty seven. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:18.840 You can talk twenty nine. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:20.920 You can worry, you can worry, you can worry about 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.760 bevinne Get's out of school text. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:23.720 I need a couple more years. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.480 I'm about to say it, But that's that's kind of 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.440 where I'm at right now. And I think fans are 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.440 that way right now. You know, they don't want to 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.800 hear about your cat problems. They don't want to hear 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.440 about who you're just saying. That's one of the great 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.680 things about it is they've done a great job of drafting, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.040 and they'll always let your draft, even if you have 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.520 cat problems. Are gonna let your draft. They're not taking 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.119 drafts away from you. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.040 You know that's there. You know you can find a 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.440 way to go get young players. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.760 If you have to get rid of veteran guys that 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.640 cost you millions and millions of dollars, you could find 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.520 a younger player like a Tyler Smith to play tackle 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:53.840 for you. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.480 Yeah, you know you can move on from God. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.520 That reminds me of a It was actually a pretty 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.960 fun and interest in conversation and debate that was within 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.800 Cowboys Nation on Twitter. I want to say, a few 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.600 months ago, where was this No, I'm gonna yeah, this 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:11.159 was I know what it was, rare, toxic. Yeah, but 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.639 I was. I was sitting there and I just happened 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.000 to be scrolling the timeline and I saw somebody posy 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.720 very good question. Uh. And the question was if you 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.320 had to go through the arc that the La Rams 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.320 are going through, which as you throw everything at the 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.679 wall and you get this, are you no? Are you 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.399 then going to be understanding and know that once you 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.520 do that, you're probably going to rebuild in a couple 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.119 of years thereafter, And you're going to go through the 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.560 rebuilding process. How how long would your rope be? Where's 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.920 your patients at? In that capacity?

Well, here, that 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.960 would be when I got to the Dallas Cowboys. The 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.280 Cowboys were coming off of they were at the it 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.639 was ninety nine, nineteen ninety Yeah, so I went through 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.439 three back to back, five and eleven seasons I was 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.200 with Campo.

The question is what's 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:33.400 your window. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.320 Twenty you tell me I won't be around for all 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.640 those years. What I'm saying is that one year when 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.480 you get to have that magical ride, look at it 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.960 right now, like you look at I was watching last 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:47.679 night Rangers fans on social media, the elation, the joy 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.600 like as a fan, and I remember two thousand and 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.480 five when the when the Longhorns won the national championship. 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.239 There is as a fan, there is nothing better than 0:18:58.280 --> 0:18:58.880 when you're. 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.480 Praised my dog's goals all the way to the top. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:03.720 It is, I can't break this. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.080 Y'all got it, y'all. 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.600 Got y'all get plenty of them. 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:07.760 I'm not worried about you. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:08.680 You get plenty of yours. 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.280 But I'm just saying, like, when you can, when your 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.560 team can do that, it is just the feeling is 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.240 unlike any other when it comes to court s fandom. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.399 And that's why I say for most fans, I'm not 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:19.960 gonna say all, but I would say for the vast 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.159 majority of fans, they would be like, you tell me 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.879 how many years we got to go without for another chance? 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:26.240 That was I will go without. 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.600 The question was what's your window? I don't care, I said, 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.000 it could be fifteen. It can be twenty. I'm saying, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.199 you tell me it can be unlimited. I just want 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.520 that one. I want that one opportunity working in this 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.160 building to go all the way to a champions. 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.239 Yep, no, we all want it. It was just an 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.119 interesting question on Twitter because the question was, what's your window? 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.480 What's your window after if the Cowboys win the Super Bowl? 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.840 Right now we're feeling good, what's your window is it 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.440 two years after you win the Super Bowl? Five, ten, fifteen, 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.600 where you're still good with that particularly and. 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:56.600 Are over fifty, So we're like, it doesn't have to 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.000 happen ever again in our lifetime. 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.639 We just want that one, want that one. I'm I 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.680 was like two to three years, I started itching again. 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:04.399 After a couple of years, I'm like, okay, we got here, 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.960 we gotta get back. I was on the super Bowl. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.000 Winning team in ninety six. 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.199 I think we got a thirty year reunion coming up 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.399 here pretty soon for that thing. But that's what it 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.720 lives on forever, right, It lives on forever. But the 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.119 thing about it is a fan, you just want the 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.879 one opportunity. There's a fan base. There's a group of 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:21.080 Cowboy fans. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:21.600 Around the world. 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.639 They've never seen this, They've never seen how great you 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.720 were in the early nineties. Trust me, I got my 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.280 ass kicked plenty of times by that team. That those 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.119 were great football teams. You know, you would you would, 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.360 you would do anything anything, And that's where I thought 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:37.080 Jerry Jones. 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.200 I thought Jerry Jones was at that at that point 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.119 right now, and maybe he still is. 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.760 But maybe there's people up there that are not like 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.879 his nuts and crazy, like I am trying to just 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.840 will this thing to go and go make a move. 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:51.960 And I'm not saying it has to be the right movie. 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:53.080 It has to be. 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.560 But I trust their pro department more than when I 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.080 trust myself twenty some odd years ago when we were 0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:59.720 trading guys for first round picks. 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.560 My personal thought is I think he is thinking like that. 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.520 I think that's where that comment came from. But I 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.840 also know Jerry the negotiator. Yeah, he can't say that publicly. 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.520 He can't tell people how desperate he is. And I 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.760 say that desperate not in a bad way, but in 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.800 a way of if he sees the right opportunity, I 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.760 don't think there's a limit to how much he's willing 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:19.840 to go I think to get that guy in if 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:20.960 he sees the right opportunity. 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:22.399 Jerry is really good at listening. 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.600 And I think if Will and Henry Schroka and those 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.080 guys in the Pro Department and all those Alex Loomis, 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.120 those guys come forward and say, boss, we got this guy, 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.080 we got this guy, we can maybe maybe we can 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:32.879 work this out. 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.040 I think Jerry would say, damn it. If we feel 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:36.000 that good about let's go. 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:38.280 Book and let's go. 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.359 I'm sat in the room when he's looked at him 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.080 and said let's go, let's let's go, and everybody's like, yeah, 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.320 let's go. You know, but this they it has to 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.680 be the right guy. It has to be the one 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.119 that can make the difference. But you know, but anything, 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.080 you're just giving your fan base a reason to say 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:56.200 they're committed. 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.200 They're committed right now to try. 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:00.560 And but you know what, it looks like team in 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.520 Philadelphia is a little bit more committed than you right now, 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.760 a little bit more trying to go out. And I'm 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.320 not saying Kevin Byron is gonna be a huge get 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.080 for them, but it looks like that there are six 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.160 to one team that's trying to get a little stuff. 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.359 All right, we're gonna take our first break. When we 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.040 come back, we're gonna hear Aber's opinion on this. I'm 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.080 sure that's gonna take the next segment, and then we'll 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:20.879 get to some lap code in the final segment. 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.400 We'll be back Dallas, Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.359 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.359 cheatah Savannah.

What's that window that you give them kind 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:42.080 of a greenlight that it's okay that you're not going 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:42.760 to be very good? 0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:44.040 What was your time? 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:45.040 Two years? 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:45.440 Two years? 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:49.040 I think I think I'm more. I joined in towards 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:53.440 the end and I heard Derek and I heard Brian. Hey, 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:58.720 I'm with you, guys. I'm not ass old, but I 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:06.760 sure right, I sure experienced life like you guys. 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:08.679 Though it's my yeah that. 0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:13.200 Can come out of it. 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:18.200 But no, no, I mean again, most people that have 0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:20.760 listened to that, have been listening to the show or 0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:24.439 following me know already that I started following the NFL 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:26.560 as soon as I started working with the Cowboys. I 0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:30.480 wasn't very aware of the sport really or know anything 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.080 about it, And as soon as I got into it, 0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.480 started understanding it and being a part of it and 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:43.720 covering the teams. But year two, remember this is around 0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.880 the time that Tony got hurt and we were going shuffling, 0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:50.040 going through quarterbacks and all of that. So I'm experiencing that, 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.560 and that's what I think the game is. It's just 0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.080 part of the game, you know. And as we progress 0:27:56.440 --> 0:28:00.280 and go year after year, and now I'm sitting hearing 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:04.480 like around year ten, I'm like, oh my god, Like, 0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:09.359 how do fans from when the last time they wont 0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:14.399 have been able to absorb and deal with this for 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:20.040 so long because this is very stressful and I absolutely 0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:23.000 hate it. And we go through it, through all the emotions, 0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:26.800 and every year when it ends, okay, you're upset, you're mad, whatever, 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:30.600 and then you start back up. I think there is 0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:33.359 new hope, go through the training camp, see new things, 0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:36.040 which this year I was like, I'm not gonna be 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:40.240 naive and allow myself to go through that. But I 0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:43.240 really thought starting out the season, I really thought we 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:50.000 had everything in place. The only thing kicker figure go 0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:58.400 figure that, yeah, yeah, exactly, the only one constant. So 0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.200 it's just one of those things that I will be 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.240 more than happy if it happens. 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.440 One it happens this year, what's that window. 0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:09.280 Yes, because I'm running out of time. With your window, 0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:12.440 you never know what tomorrow Britain's so it better happened 0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.920 this year and I'm waiting for it. My window is 0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:17.680 I don't care. Let me just go to a parade 0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:22.240 once and experience that, because it's different. 0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:26.320 Than you said for like the next fifteen, twenty year whatever. 0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:28.520 So you're right there with I got it, I kid 0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:29.240 in the future. 0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:30.400 We all agree we. 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:33.160 Want it right now, but after kN will we get 0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:35.880 it right now twenty twenty five, I'm going to start 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:36.920 itching again, man, I'm. 0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.760 Like, but all I'm saying is I'm not gonna be 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.400 like if that's if that's the cost, If the cost 0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.200 is that I may never see another one in my lifetime, 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.000 at least I got to see that one and I 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:49.360 got to experience that one. That's my point is, I 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:52.320 just want that one. Because in the NFL it is 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.600 extremely different. They're franchises. You talk about the Cowboys having 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:57.760 a jot, their franchise that never won a Super Bowl. 0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.680 Full full drought ever inception. 0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.280 If you're fans of those teams, and some of those 0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.200 have been around as long, if not longer than Cowboys, 0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:07.760 So it like, if you're one of those teams you've 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.320 never ever ever, your parents never experienced your grandparents never 0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:14.120 experienced it. I just want to experience it once because 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:15.959 I wasn't a Cowboys fan till I started working here. 0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.560 I was an Oiler fan till Oilers left Houston, right, 0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:20.880 So for me, I just and oil was one of 0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:23.280 those franchisees we had never won a chance knocked on 0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:25.880 the door, but we had never want to. Don't get 0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.440 me started on the Buffalo game. Yeah, do don't get 0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:31.080 me started on that, but but yeah, we That's where 0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.960 I'm like, I just want to experience it one time, 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:35.000 so I don't care what I got. 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:38.640 It also different for us, I mean that work here. 0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:42.160 You know, you want to experience this while you're working here, 0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.880 while you're covering the team. I'm not saying, oh, we're 0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:48.520 gonna quit it soon after they finished, but you just 0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:50.960 never know. We've seen since I started working here, we've 0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:54.080 seen how many people come and go. And I've been 0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:57.160 long enough with you guys to where we've seen all 0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.960 those changes in different positions, So you do want to 0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:05.280 It's obviously a very different experience getting there while working 0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:08.400 and covering the team and being there and in person 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:11.800 versus just watching on TV as a fan, which that's 0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:15.880 amazing too, but also from our perspective when you know 0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.320 all the people that have been putting in the work 0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:21.000 and have been working hard and all the shuffling around 0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.920 for years after years. Yeah, definitely, I'm good with one. 0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:25.440 Patrick. 0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:26.719 I just it's a big ring. 0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.200 I just know my listen, all I know is my 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:31.959 window eight twenty eight. I'm doying here. Let's do, let's run, 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:33.960 Let's go, all right real quick. I did want to 0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:35.560 get a question from from Twitter. 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.680 We got a question from tm He says, does the 0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:40.440 inconsistency around the league increase your hopes for a Super 0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:42.600 Bowl glory? Seems as if you can, if you can 0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:44.840 get to the playoffs, there's a fighting chance. 0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:49.040 Yes, And that's the beautiful part of the NFL. And 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:52.200 that's where the beauty of parody comes into playing. I mean, 0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.680 you see the Cowboys, you know, get destroyed by the 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:57.719 San Francisco forty nine ers, and then the forty nine 0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:01.440 ers after you know that particular game, everybody's already crowning 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:03.520 the forty nine ers. They're gonna be the Super Bowl champs. 0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:05.080 This is what it is this is the team to beat, 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:06.560 and then they lose to the Browns, and then they 0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:08.680 lose to the Minnesota Vikings. And I know they were 0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:10.960 without Deebo Sami, but it's the Vikings team that also 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.320 didn't have Justin Jefferson and then. 0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:17.640 Him, by the way, yeah, hey, by the way, Jordan 0:32:17.680 --> 0:32:18.760 Madison is a beast. 0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:22.040 Ye nice beast. And then you look at the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, 0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:23.600 they were able to fight back and get their win 0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:25.320 last week, but then they lose to the same Jets 0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:27.480 team that the Cowboys took out back and beat like 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.640 a dirty rug. So it's just parody the Patriots looking 0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:32.600 at what the Patriots did. The Bills are struggling. Yeah, 0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.760 the Bills are an AFC contender, but they're struggling to 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.080 get things going. So in the NFC, when you see 0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:39.640 what's going on, all you need to do if you're 0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:43.040 the Cowboys is show up weekend, week out. You understand 0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:44.840 you're not going to win every game, but if you 0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:46.960 show up to compete every week, then you will always 0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:48.920 have a chance to win that particular game, and you'll 0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:52.240 win far more than you won't. And this Cowboys team 0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:55.040 is still a contender to me, especially again, we'll come 0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:57.400 forty nine Ers, two game losing streak. Now they're five 0:32:57.440 --> 0:32:59.200 and two, Cowboys going to win this week. It's what 0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.200 They'll be five and you're right there in the mix. 0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.800 Detroit Lions we talked about. We made sure that we 0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:06.440 mentioned last week the Detroit Lions because they were playing 0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:10.320 very good football. They went out and got destroyed by 0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:13.920 the Baltimore Ravens. It happens. Would that happen again in 0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.080 week A Week eight with the Detroit Lions. I don't 0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:17.960 think it will, but it's a week to week league, 0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:19.240 so all you got to do is show up that 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:19.840 particular one. 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.960 You know, there's one phrase that has always stuck with 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:29.520 me that Brian said in the NFL, and every time 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.440 something where happens, I always think. 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:32.240 Of you and that Derek. 0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.080 We need to talk about a T shirt deal for this. 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:36.000 We can make millions. 0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:38.400 That is scout fits, uh, the scout fit. 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:42.240 The I think the thing about it is why I 0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:44.480 look at this season. You're going to play every contender. 0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.120 You've already played the forty nine Ers, You're gonna play 0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.400 the Eagles twice, You're gonna play the Lions. You're gonna 0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.560 get the Dolphins, and you're gonna get the Bills. 0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:55.400 In Buffalo and Seattle by the way. There all the you're. 0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:58.560 Gonna see all the teams. How you navigate those games 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.040 will tell you how you're likely going to get through 0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:03.920 the playoffs. Those are some of the best teams in 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:06.680 the National Football League. So if you find a way 0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:09.520 to navigate when those games have some success, you've already 0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:12.719 failed the test against the forty nine ers. You don't 0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:14.840 need to fail against the Eagles. You don't need to 0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:18.480 fail against the other teams that we were talking about there, 0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:20.239 Detroit's and the others. You need to find a way 0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:22.200 to win those games, and you need to find a 0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.439 way to be able to get confidence and create doubt 0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:27.160 going forward when you play those teams again, if you 0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:29.239 play them in the playoffs. But I think you'll know 0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:32.080 a lot about your team by the end of this 0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:33.680 scene because of all the teams you're going to have 0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:34.040 to play. 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:36.919 Ironically, when you think of that, you're probably gonna play 0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.800 of the top I don't know eight teams in the league. 0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.919 You're probably gonna play all of them except for two. 0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.040 That's Baltimore and Kansas City. All the rest of them 0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:49.080 are going to be your gauntlets starting right after Thanksgiving 0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:50.479 through the end of season. 0:34:51.200 --> 0:34:54.280 It is going to be a murderer's role rootle of teams. 0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:56.600 Now, the great part about that, if you want to 0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:58.879 get a great part about that is, like you said, Brian, 0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:00.880 you're gonna find out real quick, Yeah, how did your 0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.200 team really and if they can really compete in the playoff. 0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:04.680 I think you're going to have to make some hay 0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:07.920 here as we get for the next five because there 0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:12.200 are the games where it's Rams Eagles, Okay, Eagles, you 0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:13.960 know Dallas plays to Eagles. 0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:16.040 Well, we'll see how it goes. But then you got 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:16.640 the other teams. 0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:19.120 You got Carolina in there, You've got the Commanders in there, 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.160 and you've got the Giants again in there. You know 0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:24.440 you can't stumble through that part of the schedule. You 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.440 know you've got to find a way. If you somehow 0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:29.040 go to Philadelphia and win that game, win all those 0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:31.399 games kind of set you up for that gauntlet a run. 0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:33.960 But you know that if you win all those games, 0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:36.200 that means you're playing good football. Then when you get 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.640 to the Gauntlet, you're not worried about spewing oil and 0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:40.719 it's going to be a struggle and you might lose 0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:42.439 two of the games like that, you still might lose 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:44.840 the games. But if you're winning all these games and 0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.640 you're on a run, we see what confidence. 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:48.960 Will do for a team. But then you also need 0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:51.520 to make sure that and I harken back to the 0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:53.600 game against Arizona and I'm looking at the schedule here 0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:57.000 for the Cowboys going forward. Don't walk into Charlotte thinking 0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:59.799 that the Panthers are no. Don't walk into Charlotte thinking, oh, 0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.120 they're going through some things and you know Bryce Young 0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:04.239 isn't playing well because of his lack of protection up front. 0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:06.960 Oh we got this. You need to remember what happened 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.280 in Arizona when you go into a place like Charlotte 0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.600 and Bank of America Stadium. So as long as they 0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.200 step up to like Brian said, the next big test. 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:15.879 You failed the first big test in a big way, 0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:18.160 which was San Francisco. And this is not to overlook 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:19.839 the Rams because they're a solid team coming in here. 0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:21.759 You better mount up for them as well. But your 0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:24.640 next big test is in two weeks against the Eagles. 0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:27.440 That is probably going to if you can get that 0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:30.200 win in Philadelphia. You talk about launching you forward. That 0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:32.600 could put you on a strong trajectory that maybe you 0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:35.120 go on a run in what Mike McCarthy costs the 0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:37.800 second trimester of the season. It puts you in a 0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.280 real good spot in the event you have a stumble 0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:42.720 in December and you can still have time to recover 0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:44.600 and it won't have that much of an impact on 0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.359 the standings because there are other teams that are going 0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:49.960 to stumble as well. San Francisco is already doing it. 0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:52.480 Philly's not going to only lose one game this season. 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:54.759 Detroit not only going to lose one game. Just make 0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:56.800 sure you take care of the business you need to 0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:57.359 take care well. 0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.480 You know what I'm still holding on to that part 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.000 of hope is like we haven't seen the best of 0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:07.759 the Cowboys yet on offense, Like we still haven't seen 0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:11.480 the offense click. And it's not a situation where you're 0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:14.440 just constantly throwing at Cdcity is not freaking catching the ball. 0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:15.759 That's not what it is. 0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:18.719 It's not the same thing with Brandon Cooks. You're targeting him. 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:22.040 That's not what it is. Michael Gallup, it happened last game, Okay, 0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:26.680 That's that happens sometimes Jake Ferguson. You're not throwing the 0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:27.680 ball trying to get him. 0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:28.879 Oh he's dropping the ball. 0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:33.000 Like that's not the situation. It's just like it's not clicking. 0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:33.520 It's not. 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.279 You still see them having those pieces, you still see 0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:41.560 them having that talent, but things are not just quite 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:44.640 clicking in this new scheme, in this new offense that 0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.360 Mike McCarthy has put together. So that's kind of the 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:51.440 hope that I'm holding onto. It's like, Okay, this is 0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:53.520 what it's been, and they haven't been good, but they've 0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.520 gotten this far. Like this is where they're standing right now. 0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:01.480 Imagine when hopefully they do start clicking and making things 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.760 work offensively and now you get to scoring more points 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.520 and helping your defense out a little more throughout games. 0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:11.280 So that's kind of what hopefully starts kind of piecing 0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:12.080 it open again. 0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:15.200 Yeah, she makes a good point. I mean that they're 0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:17.920 they're not firing on on even half cylinders at offense, 0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:20.880 just on offense. Just lie there and they're four and two. 0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:22.879 So to your point, like they're four and two coming 0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:24.759 out of there by week, and we haven't seen the 0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.800 best version of the Cowboys on offense just yet. So 0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:31.480 I mean what that has to give you some justifiable 0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:33.520 hope and saying, you know, if they can get it going, 0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:35.839 I mean they could go on a run. They could 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.360 ride a off three four five game win streak to 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:40.920 put themselves in a real good position to try to 0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:41.879 close this regular season. 0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:43.120 I was strong And I think the other thing to 0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:45.440 note there, even though the offense hasn't had the rhythm 0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:47.880 that you'd want, not only are they FOURGN two, but 0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:50.640 outside of the San Francisco game, the offense has moved 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.239 pretty well twenty twenty yard line of twenty yard line. 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:55.160 It's not the offense can't move at all. 0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.640 It's that they haven't had success in the red zone 0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:00.399 and obviously in the San Francis but they got shut down. 0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:01.279 They don't. 0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:03.720 But I'm saying, like when you look at just overall, 0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:07.560 the problems are fixable. It's not like a situation where 0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:10.440 this is an offense that has nothing like if you're 0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:12.400 the Giants, if you're only at the Giants, you're like, 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:13.439 our office right now. 0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:14.120 Just has nothing. 0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:15.280 We can't do anything. 0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:18.480 We can't move right. It's not that it's that they 0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:20.719 haven't gotten it all to fit together. They haven't gotten 0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:23.320 to a point where they can rely on something, you know, 0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:25.320 in whatever the situation is, that we can rely on 0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:26.480 the fact that we're gonna be able to run, we 0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:28.600 can rely on the facts, we can go to CD LAMB. 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.319 I think that's the part that you want to see 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:32.080 the rhythm get there and you want to see them 0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:34.480 start figuring out who are those what are those reliable 0:39:34.520 --> 0:39:35.800 pieces that we know we can do. 0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:37.799 It goes back to that conversation that we have about 0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:38.239 identity a. 0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:38.719 Few weeks ago. 0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:41.480 They don't have one right now. You hope that that 0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:44.000 develops over time this season and then you can get there. 0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:47.399 But being four and two with that problem, that's where 0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:48.840 you look at it and say there is hope. 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:50.960 And in its quality wins also because you know, for 0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.279 those that were saying, well, you only beat up on 0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:55.400 the Jets, Okay, well, then the Jets defeated the Eagles. 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.960 Oh well, you know what about you beat up on 0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.440 the Patriots, and the Patriots beat the Bills, and you 0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:03.360 went and you beat Los Angeles Chargers in Los Angeles. 0:40:03.400 --> 0:40:05.360 It's the same Chargers team that beat the same Vikings 0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:07.200 team that just handed the same Francis for forty nine. 0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:09.319 It's the NFL week to week basis, So just come 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:10.719 to play every week in the wrestle handle it. 0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:12.719 So I think you have to worry about because you can. 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.480 I think you could say the same thing about Philadelphia's offense. Yeah, 0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:17.480 I don't think they play not there yet. Yeah, I 0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:19.439 don't think they played very well in their six and one. 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:21.360 That's the thing that would give me a little pause. 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:22.080 That's very true. 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:24.279 And I think that's the part where I was looking 0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:25.600 at them and I was thinking they were going to 0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:27.439 stumble at some point. Yeah, and the fact that they're 0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:31.520 not stumbling after starting the way they have offensively, that's 0:40:31.520 --> 0:40:34.279 what they've had some games and they figured it. 0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:36.839 Out though for then, and that's the key key phrase. 0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:39.760 They're figuring out how to overcome like some some miscues. 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:41.480 For example Jaal when hurts, he started to turn the 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.600 ball over, but they're figuring out how to overcome that. 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:46.200 You're seeing brock party starting to turn the ball over, 0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:48.200 but the forty nine ers haven't shown they know how 0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:51.400 to overcome that yet. Going back to Hope, Okay, well, 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.279 if the forty nine ers can't overcome brock Purty doing 0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:56.480 late game interceptions and if he's showing he can't play 0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:58.319 from behind. If you're the Cowboys, you're like, oh, oh, 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:00.320 we really got to do is handle our business because 0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:02.319 when we get back to them, if we can get 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:04.879 back to them, if we can play better football, maybe 0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.000 put them behind the school board. Now you have a 0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.560 chance to get brock pretty in situations like with Minnesota 0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:11.880 last night with two late game interceptions. That helps you 0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:14.560 with the game. So every every team in the NFC 0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:17.000 has cracks in its armor. And this is going to 0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:18.160 get fun, real fun. 0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:20.200 Yeah, we're gonna find out who we gonna find We're 0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:21.120 gonna find out who can see. 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:25.439 Jalen Hurts and and and the guy Alan are throwing 0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:26.680 a lot of interceptions. I don't want to. 0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:29.359 I want to get but we talk about DAC throwing, 0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.280 these guys are throwing an alarming amount of interceptions. 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:34.680 I just want to. I just wanted to get it 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:35.120 out there. 0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:38.719 You're being a fan boy. No, we're watching the game. 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:40.680 Other people are throwing interceptions. 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.399 Jo Hurts has throwing eight of them, and your guy 0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:45.000 Josh Allen has thrown them as well. 0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.040 And now Party has three in his last two games there, 0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:48.960 two of which were in the late fourth quarter with 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.120 the game on the line, people throw interceptions that the 0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.880 attack happens. All right, we appreciate you, guys. Jonas, get 0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.560 the la No, it's real quick, real quick. Eleven and 0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:58.480 five is the number for lap Coat. Eleven and five. 0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.520 Mike McCarthy and his his NFL coaching career, He's eleven 0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:03.640 to five coming out of the bye week. Should have 0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.279 been twelve and four, but overtime loss in Green Bay 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.520 last week last year kind of stung that. But look 0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:12.279 at the silver lining. Look at the silver lining that 0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:14.879 created some that drove change for the offseason. That guys 0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:17.800 have guys like Brandon Cookson here no straits to a 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:20.920 Noah Brown. But the upgrade, so eleven to five Cowboys 0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:23.520 fans can feel good about that. Mike McCarthy typically does 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:25.800 very well coming after the buye coming out of the 0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:28.040 by So they just need to host this Los Angeles 0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:29.759 Rams team and handle business. Get him out of here 0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:30.759 and get onto Philadelphia. 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:32.200 All right, appreciate you guy, Dallas. 0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.880 We'll be back on tomorrow. We'll start getting into the 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.280 next game. Brian will have a breakdown for US Cowboys 0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:41.560 versus Rams till then for Patrick Walker. Brian brought us Ambergarcia. 0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:43.640 I'm Derek Eilton has been The Break live on Dallas 0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:45.320 Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:49.239 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.239 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
