Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys Let's go.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Ready for a break?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and so much for that. It's time for the
Speaker 6: Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 3: We were on right.
Speaker 6: With Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Walker, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 7: It is Tuesday, October twenty fourth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,
Speaker 7: episode number fifty five. Welcome to the latest edition of
Speaker 7: The Break. We are live from s WBC Mortgage Studios
Speaker 7: at the Star. We are through with our mashup week
Speaker 7: and I got my normal crew back here with We
Speaker 7: got Brian brought us, Patrick Walker, Amber Mayor may not
Speaker 7: be joining us, but uh, but we're gonna hold it down.
Speaker 7: We got we got three voices here that can give
Speaker 7: you guys some good opinions. Uh. We got some things
Speaker 7: we can hit today, and we're gonna start first with
Speaker 7: Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones was on with our sister station
Speaker 7: here this morning in the local market one oh five
Speaker 7: dot three the Fan, Sean and r.
Speaker 2: J and Bobby.
Speaker 7: So I hate that they don't give Bobby his love.
Speaker 7: Give Bobby his love and Bobby and they had a
Speaker 7: you might as well give Peyton some love too. But anyway,
Speaker 7: you uh that he was on with them this morning.
Speaker 8: Excuse me.
Speaker 7: A couple of quotes that I have from him that
Speaker 7: I want to get some reaction from you guys. The
Speaker 7: first quote that I that I thought was interesting, he
Speaker 7: was talking about, uh, the trade deadline.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and uh.
Speaker 7: And his quote was, I would really extend to improve
Speaker 7: our team right now because I think we have a
Speaker 7: team that's a contender.
Speaker 8: That was interesting to me.
Speaker 7: Now he also went on to say, and I don't
Speaker 7: have the quote in front of me, but he went
Speaker 7: on to say that it has to come from the
Speaker 7: other team. And if you know Jerry, I know Sean
Speaker 7: dived into the question, which he should have it great
Speaker 7: follow up question. So why is that the case? If
Speaker 7: you know Jerry, you've heard this year after year after year.
Speaker 7: It's negotiating power. He thinks of it as like, if
Speaker 7: he's the one making the phone call, he loses his leverage.
Speaker 7: If someone else is making the phone call, they're calling
Speaker 7: and they are in a compromise, negotiating position. That's the
Speaker 7: way he looks at negotiations, and so that's why he
Speaker 7: does it that way. I guess my question for you
Speaker 7: guys is just react to his statements not only about
Speaker 7: kind of how he looks at it, but also the
Speaker 7: fact that he says he's willing to extend himself a
Speaker 7: little bit, And what are your thoughts there.
Speaker 5: I think it's it's exactly what you said. And I
Speaker 5: had this conversation right before the show with Nick Harris,
Speaker 5: and he was, you know, asking if I thought it
Speaker 5: was a leverage situation, and I do, because you know,
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones, the consummate deal making, the consummate businessman, an entrepreneur.
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to show any kind of weakness to
Speaker 5: potential you know, suitors and those that he's going to
Speaker 5: have conversations with. So that completely makes sense and we're
Speaker 5: accustomed to that. But I think it's also true that
Speaker 5: this Cowboys roster is price versus pressure. So if you
Speaker 5: look back a few years ago, the wide Receiver by
Speaker 5: committee situation failed miserably and it was the same Jerry
Speaker 5: Jones where you know you're gonna have to call me,
Speaker 5: You're going to have to call me, but didn't blink
Speaker 5: when it came time to toss a first round pick
Speaker 5: onto the table for the Raiders to get a Marty Cooper.
Speaker 5: Now you fast forward. Now, if you lose Treyvon Diggs
Speaker 5: and Deron Bland isn't able to step into that role,
Speaker 5: and or Jeordyan Lewis isn't completely back physically, if you
Speaker 5: lose Lve and then you don't see Marquise Bell play
Speaker 5: out of his mind against Los Angeles and DeMont Clark
Speaker 5: step up. If you know, when you were down three
Speaker 5: offensive line starters, if those young guys didn't step in
Speaker 5: and show they could do something. I say all of
Speaker 5: that to say, I think the Cowboys feel comfortable with
Speaker 5: where they are roster wise. Could they stand to upgrade,
Speaker 5: absolutely at certain positions, but they're not pressed to do so.
Speaker 5: So I don't think while I agree that Jerry Jones
Speaker 5: is using it as leverage, I really think that excuse me,
Speaker 5: I really think there's also truth in the fact that
Speaker 5: he just doesn't feel pressed to make that move right now,
Speaker 5: so it probably will have to be someone calling them.
Speaker 5: I think they're going to call out and put feelers
Speaker 5: and things like that. But as far as the price goes, uh,
Speaker 5: it has to be something that is palatable for them.
Speaker 5: It's not. They're not giving a first round pick away
Speaker 5: for anybody based on the needs or lack the roof
Speaker 5: of this current roster.
Speaker 1: I miss reckless Jerry Jones. I missed the guy I
Speaker 1: worked for when he just would go out and say,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna we're gonna do We're gonna do this,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to we're gonna do. Give two for
Speaker 1: Joey Galloway, I don't care. We'll throw in an extra
Speaker 1: six to get it time.
Speaker 5: Then you get a Roy Williams wide receiver.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: But that's that, you know what. To me, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's part of it, you know what. And I say
Speaker 1: that in if he had Will McLay in this pro
Speaker 1: department instead of me sitting in that chair, he might
Speaker 1: have been better off. He might have been better off
Speaker 1: the times where we talk about a Roy Williams or
Speaker 1: a Joey Galloway or one of those those times, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we misevaluated those guys.
Speaker 3: Not maybe we did. I mean, we paid too much
Speaker 3: for those guys, you know. But if you have a.
Speaker 1: Current group of pro scouts, college scouts, the expertise of
Speaker 1: Will McLay here, Jerry Jones has a right to stand
Speaker 1: at that table and hold those dice, you know. With me, yeah,
Speaker 1: pushing the chips in there might have been a little
Speaker 1: bit more of you know, maybe a little bit more
Speaker 1: of a gamble. But you have a department that knows
Speaker 1: what the hell they're doing. And to me, I miss
Speaker 1: that evaluate. I miss him stepping up and saying we've
Speaker 1: got to get better.
Speaker 3: Here, we got it.
Speaker 1: And I'm not acting asking to be a reactionary to
Speaker 1: what the Philadelphia Eagles did with with with going to
Speaker 1: get because you know, there's things with Bayer that that
Speaker 1: are you know, he's a he's a good player, He's
Speaker 1: not what he was five years ago. He's okay in
Speaker 1: the run, he's good in coverage. You know, those are
Speaker 1: things that will help Philadelphia. But I would like to
Speaker 1: see Jerry Jones if the Pro Department comes to him
Speaker 1: with names and says, Boss, we could do it with
Speaker 1: this guy, or we could make we could shore up
Speaker 1: this problem, or we can add.
Speaker 3: This corner here.
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's better equipped than he was
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago with me sitting in that chair,
Speaker 1: and so I would take the gamble. If I'm Jerry Jones,
Speaker 1: you know, and I understand responsibility and how much we
Speaker 1: love the draft and all that, but this, this NFC
Speaker 1: is wide damn open right now. You look at what's
Speaker 1: going on in San Francisco. They're starting to get banged up. Minnesota.
Speaker 1: There's some teams that are started off poorly. There probably
Speaker 1: gonna play some better football.
Speaker 3: You gotta be.
Speaker 1: Ready for when that happens. This conference is for the
Speaker 1: take it. This Super Bowl run is for the take it.
Speaker 1: Look what's happening in Buffalo. Look what's happening in some
Speaker 1: of these other teams. One in five teams finding a way.
Speaker 3: The beat teams are playoff ready.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm if I'm Jerry Jones eighty years old,
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, I'm not waiting for anybody. He always says
Speaker 1: it himself, don't Tom, I don't have time for a
Speaker 1: good time. I need to get this thing done now.
Speaker 1: And if it puts Steven and Will and those guys
Speaker 1: in kind of a bad position, you know, well we
Speaker 1: got to do something here.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying it at a desperation.
Speaker 1: I'm saying it as I miss the days of Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones just saying, the hell with it, Let's go get
Speaker 1: this guy and see what happen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the way I look at it, I agree with
Speaker 7: both of you guys, And I think from the standpoint
Speaker 7: of you almost want to see Jerry just say and
Speaker 7: it goes to this point, I think this is actually
Speaker 7: what he's saying. He's saying, i'd really extend myself because
Speaker 7: I think I got a really good team.
Speaker 2: I kind of want to see him push all the
Speaker 2: chips into the table.
Speaker 7: I kind of want to see him say, if you
Speaker 7: see the right player out there, and I'm going to
Speaker 7: ask you guys this question in a second, but if
Speaker 7: you see the right player out there, whatever the position
Speaker 7: is that you feel like, man, if we get this guy,
Speaker 7: it puts us over the top, and you got to
Speaker 7: spend the first rounder for him.
Speaker 8: Spin the first rounder.
Speaker 7: I think you've got a team that's right there on
Speaker 7: the cusp, and like you said, the NFC is there
Speaker 7: for the taking. But right now, I think most people
Speaker 7: would believe you're a little bit beyond. And that's actually
Speaker 7: we'll get to another quote that Jerry had. They're a
Speaker 7: little bit below where maybe the forty nine ers or
Speaker 7: the Eagles are right now, is there that player out
Speaker 7: there that can push you over the top? And that's
Speaker 7: kind of where you want to see Jerry back up
Speaker 7: those words and say, Okay, extend yourself, let's go get
Speaker 7: that guy.
Speaker 5: I think for me what lessons it a little bit
Speaker 5: is having seen them in the same offseason go out
Speaker 5: and get a guy like Gilmour, go out and get
Speaker 5: a guy like Brandon Cook's and you did it again
Speaker 5: in the same offseason. That's not something that we've kind
Speaker 5: of seen in these past several offseasons. So it shows
Speaker 5: that there is, you know, the willingness for Jerry to
Speaker 5: go out there and say, you know what, I'm going
Speaker 5: to address this and this now again. Could it still
Speaker 5: you know, could they stand to upgrade the roster at
Speaker 5: certain spots as far as going od with it, just
Speaker 5: overdosing and saying, Okay, even though we have this and
Speaker 5: this and this and this guy's working out well, and
Speaker 5: this guy's working out well, but they're not that guy,
Speaker 5: which is kind of leading to your question, Yeah, you
Speaker 5: could always go out there and do that question. Being
Speaker 5: how comfortable is a team that's that drafts so well
Speaker 5: and puts so much stock into drafting, having already given
Speaker 5: up a fifth of fifth a fourth right, So that
Speaker 5: comes into the conversation as well. So I'm just I'm
Speaker 5: curious as far as what you think they would happen.
Speaker 3: I love fishing.
Speaker 1: I love fishing more than anything, And every time I fish,
Speaker 1: I throw something really big out there, and I hope
Speaker 1: that a fourteen or fifteen pound bass jumps on that lure.
Speaker 1: But I throw something really big because I'm trying. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to catch a big damn fish. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to win this win this division.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a way to win the conference.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a way to get to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl with the team I currently have. So I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I'm not worried about a four
Speaker 1: or five and a six. I'm not worrying about those picks.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm gonna throw, you know, if the right
Speaker 1: players out there. All I'm asking is Steven Jones allow
Speaker 1: Jerry the latitude that if the Pro Department comes to
Speaker 1: him and says, boss, we got a call on this.
Speaker 1: They called us on this, or maybe you're fishing, maybe
Speaker 1: you're going to throw the chum in the water and
Speaker 1: try and get the big fish here. Maybe you're calling
Speaker 1: somebody that might be you're hearing some whispers that they're
Speaker 1: interested in moving on from a guy. It never hurts
Speaker 1: to pick up the phone and make that call. I know,
Speaker 1: Jerry says, from point of leverage, but he's got a
Speaker 1: chance to If they identify the right guy or two,
Speaker 1: it could put this team into a great position for
Speaker 1: you know, and I use for example, the team to
Speaker 1: just here in Dallas, to just got to the World
Speaker 1: Series of the Texas Rangers, Chris Young, the general manager,
Speaker 1: made two huge deals.
Speaker 3: Right at the trade deadline.
Speaker 1: You know, he went out and got Montgomery, and he
Speaker 1: went out and got shirs Er Sures got nicked up.
Speaker 1: You know, that's unfortunate. He's trying to pitch his way back.
Speaker 1: But Montgomery has pitched so well in the playoffs. It's
Speaker 1: got them to the World Series. The Rangers didn't have
Speaker 1: that before the trade deadline. You know, sometimes you just
Speaker 1: have to say, damn it, we're gonna go do this,
Speaker 1: and you know, nobody will fault. Nobody fault now if
Speaker 1: you want to fault what we did in the early
Speaker 1: two thousands, absolutely, absolutely you know, gave up some pick,
Speaker 1: maybe identified the wrong guy. Maybe Roy Williams didn't work out,
Speaker 1: maybe Joe Galloway didn't work out, maybe Amari Cooper didn't work.
Speaker 3: Out like you thought. But you know what, damn it.
Speaker 3: We tried.
Speaker 1: We tried to make a difference here. That word and
Speaker 1: that's well, I'm just saying, well to them, it may
Speaker 1: became personal. Yeah, became personal there, and we all understand that.
Speaker 5: I'm no, and that's fine.
Speaker 3: I just yeah, So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You're better equip to go and identify players now then
Speaker 1: you work twenty five years ago when Jerry was just throwing,
Speaker 1: you know, throwing the dice at the table.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I will say this, over the last two years, they've
Speaker 7: actually gotten some players in trades that have been players,
Speaker 7: players for their team.
Speaker 8: Listen to the last five.
Speaker 7: You had Cooks, you had Gilmour, you had Hankins, you
Speaker 7: had Trey Lance here recently, and you had dig Monaghany.
Speaker 7: No obviously with Igmannoganty that was a toss up. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you're getting rid of your guy. It wasn't working for
Speaker 7: a guy that wasn't working. To see if one of
Speaker 7: y'all could figure it out and make it work. So
Speaker 7: you just you take that as you take it. But
Speaker 7: you look at those other guys and those are the
Speaker 7: kinds of trades that we had seen. Philly traditionally do
Speaker 7: those kinds of trades where it's like it's a good timing.
Speaker 7: The guy may not be at the top, but he's
Speaker 7: still pretty dog on good he can add something to
Speaker 7: our team. I think the difference is Philly has also
Speaker 7: done those deals like the aj Brown deal where they
Speaker 7: gave up significant capital. Go get a guy that is.
Speaker 3: In his prime.
Speaker 7: Right That's where I'm like, if Dallas can identify that
Speaker 7: kind of player right now, a guy that's in his
Speaker 7: prime that you're willing to spend that first round or on.
Speaker 7: He can help you now, but he's also going to
Speaker 7: help you down the road as well. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 7: kind of move I would love to see them made.
Speaker 5: But then I was going to say this to that point,
Speaker 5: stepping into the role of Devil's advocate. If a guy's
Speaker 5: in his prime, then you have to look at contractually,
Speaker 5: when is he coming do Because in house you have
Speaker 5: some horses coming. Do you got Ceedee Lamb coming? Do
Speaker 5: you got Michael Parsons come and do You're likely going
Speaker 5: to give this extension to Deck, another extension to dek Prescott.
Speaker 5: You got some hogs, come and do so if a
Speaker 5: guy is in his prime and there are a couple
Speaker 5: of names that are floating around in my head, but yeah,
Speaker 5: you grab those guys and that's wonderful because you got
Speaker 5: to go. I'm what you one hundred percent, Brian, Seize
Speaker 5: the moment, Seize the moment, because these moments. That's their motto,
Speaker 5: that's carbamnia. Seize everything, seize the moment. So I'm with
Speaker 5: you on that. I'll do it. But I'm saying as
Speaker 5: far as uh, laying out all the variables of the conversation,
Speaker 5: that's another variable of it, and saying, Okay, you're going
Speaker 5: you give up this, you know, premium capital and premium
Speaker 5: conversation for this guy. You better if you do it,
Speaker 5: you better make sure you were able to keep that
Speaker 5: guy and pay that guy and the guys that have
Speaker 5: proven that they deserve to be paid in house as well.
Speaker 7: I'm willing to even accept and I know it's easy
Speaker 7: for me to say because it ain't my money, but
Speaker 7: I'm willing to accept the fact that I might put
Speaker 7: myself in a little bit of a cap strapped situation
Speaker 7: down the line always because I look at my team
Speaker 7: right now and I'm like, man, I don't know that
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have a better shot than I have right now.
Speaker 5: Oh you could go.
Speaker 7: I'm going to go push all the chips in and
Speaker 7: see what happens. And as you said, Brian, if it
Speaker 7: doesn't work, at least I didn't go down.
Speaker 8: I went down swinging right.
Speaker 3: I think fans would appreciate the fact that you gave
Speaker 3: it a go. You know, it's better.
Speaker 1: You know, the fans do not want you to sit
Speaker 1: there and not do anything when you realize that maybe
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity.
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking at these games they're watching.
Speaker 1: They don't see dominant teams playing in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: I'll say this and I'll remind you. I think we're
Speaker 1: going up on the year of when the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers made the trade for Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 3: You know what did they do.
Speaker 1: They sat there and looked at Christian McCaffrey, and they're going,
Speaker 1: this guy's often hurt.
Speaker 3: He's going to miss six seven games. He didn't miss anything.
Speaker 1: Guys playing with an oblique problem and if he was
Speaker 1: in Carolina, he would have missed six weeks with them,
Speaker 1: you know, But he played Goes to San Francisco and
Speaker 1: now he scored sixteen, sixteen consecutive games with the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Those are the kinds of trades when you can identify
Speaker 1: what you need, the type of player, the compensation, and
Speaker 1: make it work. That's all you as a fan, that's
Speaker 1: all you can ask for for the organization. Nobody cares
Speaker 1: about your cap problems. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. They want
Speaker 1: you to win games, you know. They want you to
Speaker 1: compete for playoff wins and championships and stuff. They don't
Speaker 1: have time to hear you like, well, you know, we've
Speaker 1: got these players and no offense. Patrick, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about paying Dak or paying these guys. I
Speaker 1: know it's part of the game. But teams figure it
Speaker 1: out every damn day. We thought Philadelphia was going to
Speaker 1: be just demoralized in their cap situation, they went out
Speaker 1: and resigned all their guys. You know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about the cap problems for any teams anymore.
Speaker 3: You figure it out.
Speaker 1: There's teams that the Packers are awful right now, you
Speaker 1: know why they're carrying forty eight million dollars a dead cap. Fine,
Speaker 1: but they got rid of Aaron Rodgers, and they're learning
Speaker 1: about their quarterback and if they're bad enough, they'll draft
Speaker 1: a quarterback in this draft. I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about cap problems and financial physical responsibility. I want to
Speaker 1: hear about wins and going forward and making this thing
Speaker 1: work when you have a chance to put this thing
Speaker 1: to bed.
Speaker 5: And I want to be clear, and no offense to
Speaker 5: me because I'm not taking a fence because we're actually
Speaker 5: on the same page here. I'm on record all over
Speaker 5: the place is saying I don't really care about CAP.
Speaker 5: I think CAP is a myth for the most part,
Speaker 5: because when you look at the Drew Brees years in
Speaker 5: New Orleans, right, cap magic every year they just figure
Speaker 5: out a way to manipulate the cap. There's always a
Speaker 5: way to manipulate the cap. I'm just simply saying, as
Speaker 5: far as the Cowboys mindset, you can one believe that
Speaker 5: they're upstairs upstairs having that part of the conversation. So
Speaker 5: I agree with you. You know, I'm simply saying, from the
Speaker 5: fans that are listening, you just got to know if
Speaker 5: you're wondering, what's the conversation upstairs, that's part of the nose.
Speaker 1: They hate what I'm saying right now. They absolutely I'm
Speaker 1: going to get a text after somebody listen to this
Speaker 1: and they're gonna tell me you're full of s right now, Brian, But.
Speaker 2: You know what they're gonna say. The CAP's a real thing,
Speaker 2: and by the way.
Speaker 3: For it is a real thing.
Speaker 1: And they talk about spreadsheets and projecting out and who
Speaker 1: you have to pay and all that. But there's also
Speaker 1: a time where you have to I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. I'll be sitting at the lake House
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3: You can talk twenty nine.
Speaker 1: You can worry, you can worry, you can worry about
Speaker 1: bevinne Get's out of school text.
Speaker 2: I need a couple more years.
Speaker 1: I'm about to say it, But that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: where I'm at right now. And I think fans are
Speaker 1: that way right now. You know, they don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about your cat problems. They don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about who you're just saying. That's one of the great
Speaker 1: things about it is they've done a great job of drafting,
Speaker 1: and they'll always let your draft, even if you have
Speaker 1: cat problems. Are gonna let your draft. They're not taking
Speaker 1: drafts away from you.
Speaker 3: You know that's there. You know you can find a
Speaker 3: way to go get young players.
Speaker 1: If you have to get rid of veteran guys that
Speaker 1: cost you millions and millions of dollars, you could find
Speaker 1: a younger player like a Tyler Smith to play tackle
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you can move on from God.
Speaker 5: That reminds me of a It was actually a pretty
Speaker 5: fun and interest in conversation and debate that was within
Speaker 5: Cowboys Nation on Twitter. I want to say, a few
Speaker 5: months ago, where was this No, I'm gonna yeah, this
Speaker 5: was I know what it was, rare, toxic. Yeah, but
Speaker 5: I was. I was sitting there and I just happened
Speaker 5: to be scrolling the timeline and I saw somebody posy
Speaker 5: very good question. Uh. And the question was if you
Speaker 5: had to go through the arc that the La Rams
Speaker 5: are going through, which as you throw everything at the
Speaker 5: wall and you get this, are you no? Are you
Speaker 5: then going to be understanding and know that once you
Speaker 5: do that, you're probably going to rebuild in a couple
Speaker 5: of years thereafter, And you're going to go through the
Speaker 5: rebuilding process. How how long would your rope be? Where's
Speaker 5: your patients at? In that capacity? So the question wasn't
Speaker 5: would you be yes, I was.
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties the last I say, take
Speaker 1: that back, I was in my thirties the last time
Speaker 1: this team won a Super Bowl or went to a
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game.
Speaker 3: I'm fifty nine years old now. No.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 5: The question wasn't would you trade one for the other.
Speaker 5: The question was, be honest with yourself, how patient would
Speaker 5: you be during the rebuilds?
Speaker 3: Patient?
Speaker 7: I would be the coosition that draft. Well, here, that
Speaker 7: would be when I got to the Dallas Cowboys. The
Speaker 7: Cowboys were coming off of they were at the it
Speaker 7: was ninety nine, nineteen ninety Yeah, so I went through
Speaker 7: three back to back, five and eleven seasons I was
Speaker 7: with Campo. Right, that's my I will tell you this,
Speaker 7: If you tell me what's your patience level, I would
Speaker 7: go if they could promise a championship this year, They're
Speaker 7: going to go all in and it gets them a
Speaker 7: championship for the next ten years of my career, I'm good.
Speaker 5: That was That was the question. The question is what's
Speaker 5: your window.
Speaker 7: Twenty you tell me I won't be around for all
Speaker 7: those years. What I'm saying is that one year when
Speaker 7: you get to have that magical ride, look at it
Speaker 7: right now, like you look at I was watching last
Speaker 7: night Rangers fans on social media, the elation, the joy
Speaker 7: like as a fan, and I remember two thousand and
Speaker 7: five when the when the Longhorns won the national championship.
Speaker 7: There is as a fan, there is nothing better than
Speaker 7: when you're.
Speaker 8: Praised my dog's goals all the way to the top.
Speaker 5: It is, I can't break this.
Speaker 2: Y'all got it, y'all.
Speaker 8: Got y'all get plenty of them.
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about you.
Speaker 8: You get plenty of yours.
Speaker 7: But I'm just saying, like, when you can, when your
Speaker 7: team can do that, it is just the feeling is
Speaker 7: unlike any other when it comes to court s fandom.
Speaker 7: And that's why I say for most fans, I'm not
Speaker 7: gonna say all, but I would say for the vast
Speaker 7: majority of fans, they would be like, you tell me
Speaker 7: how many years we got to go without for another chance?
Speaker 2: That was I will go without.
Speaker 7: The question was what's your window? I don't care, I said,
Speaker 7: it could be fifteen. It can be twenty. I'm saying,
Speaker 7: you tell me it can be unlimited. I just want
Speaker 7: that one. I want that one opportunity working in this
Speaker 7: building to go all the way to a champions.
Speaker 5: Yep, no, we all want it. It was just an
Speaker 5: interesting question on Twitter because the question was, what's your window?
Speaker 5: What's your window after if the Cowboys win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 5: Right now we're feeling good, what's your window is it
Speaker 5: two years after you win the Super Bowl? Five, ten, fifteen,
Speaker 5: where you're still good with that particularly and.
Speaker 7: Are over fifty, So we're like, it doesn't have to
Speaker 7: happen ever again in our lifetime.
Speaker 5: We just want that one, want that one. I'm I
Speaker 5: was like two to three years, I started itching again.
Speaker 5: After a couple of years, I'm like, okay, we got here,
Speaker 5: we gotta get back. I was on the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Winning team in ninety six.
Speaker 1: I think we got a thirty year reunion coming up
Speaker 1: here pretty soon for that thing. But that's what it
Speaker 1: lives on forever, right, It lives on forever. But the
Speaker 1: thing about it is a fan, you just want the
Speaker 1: one opportunity. There's a fan base. There's a group of
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans.
Speaker 3: Around the world.
Speaker 1: They've never seen this, They've never seen how great you
Speaker 1: were in the early nineties. Trust me, I got my
Speaker 1: ass kicked plenty of times by that team. That those
Speaker 1: were great football teams. You know, you would you would,
Speaker 1: you would do anything anything, And that's where I thought
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3: I thought Jerry Jones was at that at that point
Speaker 3: right now, and maybe he still is.
Speaker 1: But maybe there's people up there that are not like
Speaker 1: his nuts and crazy, like I am trying to just
Speaker 1: will this thing to go and go make a move.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying it has to be the right movie.
Speaker 3: It has to be.
Speaker 1: But I trust their pro department more than when I
Speaker 1: trust myself twenty some odd years ago when we were
Speaker 1: trading guys for first round picks.
Speaker 7: My personal thought is I think he is thinking like that.
Speaker 7: I think that's where that comment came from. But I
Speaker 7: also know Jerry the negotiator. Yeah, he can't say that publicly.
Speaker 7: He can't tell people how desperate he is. And I
Speaker 7: say that desperate not in a bad way, but in
Speaker 7: a way of if he sees the right opportunity, I
Speaker 7: don't think there's a limit to how much he's willing
Speaker 7: to go I think to get that guy in if
Speaker 7: he sees the right opportunity.
Speaker 3: Jerry is really good at listening.
Speaker 1: And I think if Will and Henry Schroka and those
Speaker 1: guys in the Pro Department and all those Alex Loomis,
Speaker 1: those guys come forward and say, boss, we got this guy,
Speaker 1: we got this guy, we can maybe maybe we can
Speaker 1: work this out.
Speaker 2: I think Jerry would say, damn it. If we feel
Speaker 2: that good about let's go.
Speaker 5: Book and let's go.
Speaker 1: I'm sat in the room when he's looked at him
Speaker 1: and said let's go, let's let's go, and everybody's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go. You know, but this they it has to
Speaker 1: be the right guy. It has to be the one
Speaker 1: that can make the difference. But you know, but anything,
Speaker 1: you're just giving your fan base a reason to say
Speaker 1: they're committed.
Speaker 3: They're committed right now to try.
Speaker 1: And but you know what, it looks like team in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is a little bit more committed than you right now,
Speaker 1: a little bit more trying to go out. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying Kevin Byron is gonna be a huge get
Speaker 1: for them, but it looks like that there are six
Speaker 1: to one team that's trying to get a little stuff.
Speaker 7: All right, we're gonna take our first break. When we
Speaker 7: come back, we're gonna hear Aber's opinion on this. I'm

Speaker 9: Yeah, sure, after I got done this morning.
Speaker 3: Nothing like working at the end of October and it's
Speaker 3: ninety degrees there.
Speaker 7: You go, that's Texas. Hey, real quick, before we move on,
Speaker 7: I did want to give you an opportunity to chime
Speaker 7: in on that. Patrick set up this really interesting question
Speaker 7: of what would be your window that you would be
Speaker 7: okay the Cowboys not being very good if they can
Speaker 7: get a championship, if they mortgage the future and got
Speaker 7: a championship. What's that window that you give them kind
Speaker 7: of a greenlight that it's okay that you're not going
Speaker 7: to be very good?
Speaker 9: What was your time?
Speaker 5: Two years?
Speaker 3: Two years?
Speaker 9: I think I think I'm more. I joined in towards
Speaker 9: the end and I heard Derek and I heard Brian. Hey,
Speaker 9: I'm with you, guys. I'm not ass old, but I
Speaker 9: sure right, I sure experienced life like you guys.
Speaker 3: Though it's my yeah that.
Speaker 5: Can come out of it.
Speaker 9: But no, no, I mean again, most people that have
Speaker 9: listened to that, have been listening to the show or
Speaker 9: following me know already that I started following the NFL
Speaker 9: as soon as I started working with the Cowboys. I
Speaker 9: wasn't very aware of the sport really or know anything
Speaker 9: about it, And as soon as I got into it,
Speaker 9: started understanding it and being a part of it and
Speaker 9: covering the teams. But year two, remember this is around
Speaker 9: the time that Tony got hurt and we were going shuffling,
Speaker 9: going through quarterbacks and all of that. So I'm experiencing that,
Speaker 9: and that's what I think the game is. It's just
Speaker 9: part of the game, you know. And as we progress
Speaker 9: and go year after year, and now I'm sitting hearing
Speaker 9: like around year ten, I'm like, oh my god, Like,
Speaker 9: how do fans from when the last time they wont
Speaker 9: have been able to absorb and deal with this for
Speaker 9: so long because this is very stressful and I absolutely
Speaker 9: hate it. And we go through it, through all the emotions,
Speaker 9: and every year when it ends, okay, you're upset, you're mad, whatever,
Speaker 9: and then you start back up. I think there is
Speaker 9: new hope, go through the training camp, see new things,
Speaker 9: which this year I was like, I'm not gonna be
Speaker 9: naive and allow myself to go through that. But I
Speaker 9: really thought starting out the season, I really thought we
Speaker 9: had everything in place. The only thing kicker figure go
Speaker 9: figure that, yeah, yeah, exactly, the only one constant. So
Speaker 9: it's just one of those things that I will be
Speaker 9: more than happy if it happens.
Speaker 5: One it happens this year, what's that window.
Speaker 9: Yes, because I'm running out of time. With your window,
Speaker 9: you never know what tomorrow Britain's so it better happened
Speaker 9: this year and I'm waiting for it. My window is
Speaker 9: I don't care. Let me just go to a parade
Speaker 9: once and experience that, because it's different.
Speaker 5: Than you said for like the next fifteen, twenty year whatever.
Speaker 2: So you're right there with I got it, I kid
Speaker 2: in the future.
Speaker 8: We all agree we.
Speaker 5: Want it right now, but after kN will we get
Speaker 5: it right now twenty twenty five, I'm going to start
Speaker 5: itching again, man, I'm.
Speaker 7: Like, but all I'm saying is I'm not gonna be
Speaker 7: like if that's if that's the cost, If the cost
Speaker 7: is that I may never see another one in my lifetime,
Speaker 7: at least I got to see that one and I
Speaker 7: got to experience that one. That's my point is, I
Speaker 7: just want that one. Because in the NFL it is
Speaker 7: extremely different. They're franchises. You talk about the Cowboys having
Speaker 7: a jot, their franchise that never won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: Full full drought ever inception.
Speaker 7: If you're fans of those teams, and some of those
Speaker 7: have been around as long, if not longer than Cowboys,
Speaker 7: So it like, if you're one of those teams you've
Speaker 7: never ever ever, your parents never experienced your grandparents never
Speaker 7: experienced it. I just want to experience it once because
Speaker 7: I wasn't a Cowboys fan till I started working here.
Speaker 7: I was an Oiler fan till Oilers left Houston, right,
Speaker 7: So for me, I just and oil was one of
Speaker 7: those franchisees we had never won a chance knocked on
Speaker 7: the door, but we had never want to. Don't get
Speaker 7: me started on the Buffalo game. Yeah, do don't get
Speaker 7: me started on that, but but yeah, we That's where
Speaker 7: I'm like, I just want to experience it one time,
Speaker 7: so I don't care what I got.
Speaker 9: It also different for us, I mean that work here.
Speaker 9: You know, you want to experience this while you're working here,
Speaker 9: while you're covering the team. I'm not saying, oh, we're
Speaker 9: gonna quit it soon after they finished, but you just
Speaker 9: never know. We've seen since I started working here, we've
Speaker 9: seen how many people come and go. And I've been
Speaker 9: long enough with you guys to where we've seen all
Speaker 9: those changes in different positions, So you do want to
Speaker 9: It's obviously a very different experience getting there while working
Speaker 9: and covering the team and being there and in person
Speaker 9: versus just watching on TV as a fan, which that's
Speaker 9: amazing too, but also from our perspective when you know
Speaker 9: all the people that have been putting in the work
Speaker 9: and have been working hard and all the shuffling around
Speaker 9: for years after years. Yeah, definitely, I'm good with one.
Speaker 5: Patrick.
Speaker 3: I just it's a big ring.
Speaker 5: I just know my listen, all I know is my
Speaker 5: window eight twenty eight. I'm doying here. Let's do, let's run,
Speaker 5: Let's go, all right real quick. I did want to
Speaker 5: get a question from from Twitter.
Speaker 7: We got a question from tm He says, does the
Speaker 7: inconsistency around the league increase your hopes for a Super
Speaker 7: Bowl glory? Seems as if you can, if you can
Speaker 7: get to the playoffs, there's a fighting chance.
Speaker 5: Yes, And that's the beautiful part of the NFL. And
Speaker 5: that's where the beauty of parody comes into playing. I mean,
Speaker 5: you see the Cowboys, you know, get destroyed by the
Speaker 5: San Francisco forty nine ers, and then the forty nine
Speaker 5: ers after you know that particular game, everybody's already crowning
Speaker 5: the forty nine ers. They're gonna be the Super Bowl champs.
Speaker 5: This is what it is this is the team to beat,
Speaker 5: and then they lose to the Browns, and then they
Speaker 5: lose to the Minnesota Vikings. And I know they were
Speaker 5: without Deebo Sami, but it's the Vikings team that also
Speaker 5: didn't have Justin Jefferson and then.
Speaker 2: Him, by the way, yeah, hey, by the way, Jordan
Speaker 2: Madison is a beast.
Speaker 5: Ye nice beast. And then you look at the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they were able to fight back and get their win
Speaker 5: last week, but then they lose to the same Jets
Speaker 5: team that the Cowboys took out back and beat like
Speaker 5: a dirty rug. So it's just parody the Patriots looking
Speaker 5: at what the Patriots did. The Bills are struggling. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the Bills are an AFC contender, but they're struggling to
Speaker 5: get things going. So in the NFC, when you see
Speaker 5: what's going on, all you need to do if you're
Speaker 5: the Cowboys is show up weekend, week out. You understand
Speaker 5: you're not going to win every game, but if you
Speaker 5: show up to compete every week, then you will always
Speaker 5: have a chance to win that particular game, and you'll
Speaker 5: win far more than you won't. And this Cowboys team
Speaker 5: is still a contender to me, especially again, we'll come
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers, two game losing streak. Now they're five
Speaker 5: and two, Cowboys going to win this week. It's what
Speaker 5: They'll be five and you're right there in the mix.
Speaker 5: Detroit Lions we talked about. We made sure that we
Speaker 5: mentioned last week the Detroit Lions because they were playing
Speaker 5: very good football. They went out and got destroyed by
Speaker 5: the Baltimore Ravens. It happens. Would that happen again in
Speaker 5: week A Week eight with the Detroit Lions. I don't
Speaker 5: think it will, but it's a week to week league,
Speaker 5: so all you got to do is show up that
Speaker 5: particular one.
Speaker 9: You know, there's one phrase that has always stuck with
Speaker 9: me that Brian said in the NFL, and every time
Speaker 9: something where happens, I always think.
Speaker 10: Of you and that Derek.
Speaker 3: We need to talk about a T shirt deal for this.
Speaker 3: We can make millions.
Speaker 8: That is scout fits, uh, the scout fit.
Speaker 3: The I think the thing about it is why I
Speaker 3: look at this season. You're going to play every contender.
Speaker 1: You've already played the forty nine Ers, You're gonna play
Speaker 1: the Eagles twice, You're gonna play the Lions. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get the Dolphins, and you're gonna get the Bills.
Speaker 8: In Buffalo and Seattle by the way. There all the you're.
Speaker 1: Gonna see all the teams. How you navigate those games
Speaker 1: will tell you how you're likely going to get through
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Those are some of the best teams in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So if you find a way
Speaker 1: to navigate when those games have some success, you've already
Speaker 1: failed the test against the forty nine ers. You don't
Speaker 1: need to fail against the Eagles. You don't need to
Speaker 1: fail against the other teams that we were talking about there,
Speaker 1: Detroit's and the others. You need to find a way
Speaker 1: to win those games, and you need to find a
Speaker 1: way to be able to get confidence and create doubt
Speaker 1: going forward when you play those teams again, if you
Speaker 1: play them in the playoffs. But I think you'll know
Speaker 1: a lot about your team by the end of this
Speaker 1: scene because of all the teams you're going to have
Speaker 1: to play.
Speaker 7: Ironically, when you think of that, you're probably gonna play
Speaker 7: of the top I don't know eight teams in the league.
Speaker 7: You're probably gonna play all of them except for two.
Speaker 7: That's Baltimore and Kansas City. All the rest of them
Speaker 7: are going to be your gauntlets starting right after Thanksgiving
Speaker 7: through the end of season.
Speaker 2: It is going to be a murderer's role rootle of teams.
Speaker 7: Now, the great part about that, if you want to
Speaker 7: get a great part about that is, like you said, Brian,
Speaker 7: you're gonna find out real quick, Yeah, how did your
Speaker 7: team really and if they can really compete in the playoff.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to have to make some hay
Speaker 1: here as we get for the next five because there
Speaker 1: are the games where it's Rams Eagles, Okay, Eagles, you
Speaker 1: know Dallas plays to Eagles.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see how it goes. But then you got
Speaker 3: the other teams.
Speaker 1: You got Carolina in there, You've got the Commanders in there,
Speaker 1: and you've got the Giants again in there. You know
Speaker 1: you can't stumble through that part of the schedule. You
Speaker 1: know you've got to find a way. If you somehow
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia and win that game, win all those
Speaker 1: games kind of set you up for that gauntlet a run.
Speaker 1: But you know that if you win all those games,
Speaker 1: that means you're playing good football. Then when you get
Speaker 1: to the Gauntlet, you're not worried about spewing oil and
Speaker 1: it's going to be a struggle and you might lose
Speaker 1: two of the games like that, you still might lose
Speaker 1: the games. But if you're winning all these games and
Speaker 1: you're on a run, we see what confidence.
Speaker 5: Will do for a team. But then you also need
Speaker 5: to make sure that and I harken back to the
Speaker 5: game against Arizona and I'm looking at the schedule here
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys going forward. Don't walk into Charlotte thinking
Speaker 5: that the Panthers are no. Don't walk into Charlotte thinking, oh,
Speaker 5: they're going through some things and you know Bryce Young
Speaker 5: isn't playing well because of his lack of protection up front.
Speaker 5: Oh we got this. You need to remember what happened
Speaker 5: in Arizona when you go into a place like Charlotte
Speaker 5: and Bank of America Stadium. So as long as they
Speaker 5: step up to like Brian said, the next big test.
Speaker 5: You failed the first big test in a big way,
Speaker 5: which was San Francisco. And this is not to overlook
Speaker 5: the Rams because they're a solid team coming in here.
Speaker 5: You better mount up for them as well. But your
Speaker 5: next big test is in two weeks against the Eagles.
Speaker 5: That is probably going to if you can get that
Speaker 5: win in Philadelphia. You talk about launching you forward. That
Speaker 5: could put you on a strong trajectory that maybe you
Speaker 5: go on a run in what Mike McCarthy costs the
Speaker 5: second trimester of the season. It puts you in a
Speaker 5: real good spot in the event you have a stumble
Speaker 5: in December and you can still have time to recover
Speaker 5: and it won't have that much of an impact on
Speaker 5: the standings because there are other teams that are going
Speaker 5: to stumble as well. San Francisco is already doing it.
Speaker 5: Philly's not going to only lose one game this season.
Speaker 5: Detroit not only going to lose one game. Just make
Speaker 5: sure you take care of the business you need to
Speaker 5: take care well.
Speaker 9: You know what I'm still holding on to that part
Speaker 9: of hope is like we haven't seen the best of
Speaker 9: the Cowboys yet on offense, Like we still haven't seen
Speaker 9: the offense click. And it's not a situation where you're
Speaker 9: just constantly throwing at Cdcity is not freaking catching the ball.
Speaker 5: That's not what it is.
Speaker 9: It's not the same thing with Brandon Cooks. You're targeting him.
Speaker 9: That's not what it is. Michael Gallup, it happened last game, Okay,
Speaker 9: That's that happens sometimes Jake Ferguson. You're not throwing the
Speaker 9: ball trying to get him.
Speaker 3: Oh he's dropping the ball.
Speaker 9: Like that's not the situation. It's just like it's not clicking.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 9: You still see them having those pieces, you still see
Speaker 9: them having that talent, but things are not just quite
Speaker 9: clicking in this new scheme, in this new offense that
Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy has put together. So that's kind of the
Speaker 9: hope that I'm holding onto. It's like, Okay, this is
Speaker 9: what it's been, and they haven't been good, but they've
Speaker 9: gotten this far. Like this is where they're standing right now.
Speaker 9: Imagine when hopefully they do start clicking and making things
Speaker 9: work offensively and now you get to scoring more points
Speaker 9: and helping your defense out a little more throughout games.
Speaker 9: So that's kind of what hopefully starts kind of piecing
Speaker 9: it open again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she makes a good point. I mean that they're
Speaker 5: they're not firing on on even half cylinders at offense,
Speaker 5: just on offense. Just lie there and they're four and two.
Speaker 5: So to your point, like they're four and two coming
Speaker 5: out of there by week, and we haven't seen the
Speaker 5: best version of the Cowboys on offense just yet. So
Speaker 5: I mean what that has to give you some justifiable
Speaker 5: hope and saying, you know, if they can get it going,
Speaker 5: I mean they could go on a run. They could
Speaker 5: ride a off three four five game win streak to
Speaker 5: put themselves in a real good position to try to
Speaker 5: close this regular season.
Speaker 7: I was strong And I think the other thing to
Speaker 7: note there, even though the offense hasn't had the rhythm
Speaker 7: that you'd want, not only are they FOURGN two, but
Speaker 7: outside of the San Francisco game, the offense has moved
Speaker 7: pretty well twenty twenty yard line of twenty yard line.
Speaker 2: It's not the offense can't move at all.
Speaker 7: It's that they haven't had success in the red zone
Speaker 7: and obviously in the San Francis but they got shut down.
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 7: But I'm saying, like when you look at just overall,
Speaker 7: the problems are fixable. It's not like a situation where
Speaker 7: this is an offense that has nothing like if you're
Speaker 7: the Giants, if you're only at the Giants, you're like,
Speaker 7: our office right now.
Speaker 2: Just has nothing.
Speaker 8: We can't do anything.
Speaker 7: We can't move right. It's not that it's that they
Speaker 7: haven't gotten it all to fit together. They haven't gotten
Speaker 7: to a point where they can rely on something, you know,
Speaker 7: in whatever the situation is, that we can rely on
Speaker 7: the fact that we're gonna be able to run, we
Speaker 7: can rely on the facts, we can go to CD LAMB.
Speaker 7: I think that's the part that you want to see
Speaker 7: the rhythm get there and you want to see them
Speaker 7: start figuring out who are those what are those reliable
Speaker 7: pieces that we know we can do.
Speaker 2: It goes back to that conversation that we have about
Speaker 2: identity a.
Speaker 8: Few weeks ago.
Speaker 7: They don't have one right now. You hope that that
Speaker 7: develops over time this season and then you can get there.
Speaker 7: But being four and two with that problem, that's where
Speaker 7: you look at it and say there is hope.
Speaker 5: And in its quality wins also because you know, for
Speaker 5: those that were saying, well, you only beat up on
Speaker 5: the Jets, Okay, well, then the Jets defeated the Eagles.
Speaker 5: Oh well, you know what about you beat up on
Speaker 5: the Patriots, and the Patriots beat the Bills, and you
Speaker 5: went and you beat Los Angeles Chargers in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5: It's the same Chargers team that beat the same Vikings
Speaker 5: team that just handed the same Francis for forty nine.
Speaker 5: It's the NFL week to week basis, So just come
Speaker 5: to play every week in the wrestle handle it.
Speaker 1: So I think you have to worry about because you can.
Speaker 1: I think you could say the same thing about Philadelphia's offense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think they play not there yet. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think they played very well in their six and one.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that would give me a little pause.
Speaker 8: That's very true.
Speaker 7: And I think that's the part where I was looking
Speaker 7: at them and I was thinking they were going to
Speaker 7: stumble at some point. Yeah, and the fact that they're
Speaker 7: not stumbling after starting the way they have offensively, that's
Speaker 7: what they've had some games and they figured it.
Speaker 5: Out though for then, and that's the key key phrase.
Speaker 5: They're figuring out how to overcome like some some miscues.
Speaker 5: For example Jaal when hurts, he started to turn the
Speaker 5: ball over, but they're figuring out how to overcome that.
Speaker 5: You're seeing brock party starting to turn the ball over,
Speaker 5: but the forty nine ers haven't shown they know how
Speaker 5: to overcome that yet. Going back to Hope, Okay, well,
Speaker 5: if the forty nine ers can't overcome brock Purty doing
Speaker 5: late game interceptions and if he's showing he can't play
Speaker 5: from behind. If you're the Cowboys, you're like, oh, oh,
Speaker 5: we really got to do is handle our business because
Speaker 5: when we get back to them, if we can get
Speaker 5: back to them, if we can play better football, maybe
Speaker 5: put them behind the school board. Now you have a
Speaker 5: chance to get brock pretty in situations like with Minnesota
Speaker 5: last night with two late game interceptions. That helps you
Speaker 5: with the game. So every every team in the NFC
Speaker 5: has cracks in its armor. And this is going to
Speaker 5: get fun, real fun.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna find out who we gonna find We're
Speaker 7: gonna find out who can see.
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts and and and the guy Alan are throwing
Speaker 3: a lot of interceptions. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I want to get but we talk about DAC throwing,
Speaker 1: these guys are throwing an alarming amount of interceptions.
Speaker 3: I just want to. I just wanted to get it
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 5: You're being a fan boy. No, we're watching the game.
Speaker 3: Other people are throwing interceptions.
Speaker 1: Jo Hurts has throwing eight of them, and your guy
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has thrown them as well.
Speaker 5: And now Party has three in his last two games there,
Speaker 5: two of which were in the late fourth quarter with
Speaker 5: the game on the line, people throw interceptions that the
Speaker 5: attack happens. All right, we appreciate you, guys. Jonas, get
Speaker 5: the la No, it's real quick, real quick. Eleven and
Speaker 5: five is the number for lap Coat. Eleven and five.
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy and his his NFL coaching career, He's eleven
Speaker 5: to five coming out of the bye week. Should have
Speaker 5: been twelve and four, but overtime loss in Green Bay
Speaker 5: last week last year kind of stung that. But look
Speaker 5: at the silver lining. Look at the silver lining that
Speaker 5: created some that drove change for the offseason. That guys
Speaker 5: have guys like Brandon Cookson here no straits to a
Speaker 5: Noah Brown. But the upgrade, so eleven to five Cowboys
Speaker 5: fans can feel good about that. Mike McCarthy typically does
Speaker 5: very well coming after the buye coming out of the
Speaker 5: by So they just need to host this Los Angeles
Speaker 5: Rams team and handle business. Get him out of here
Speaker 5: and get onto Philadelphia.
Speaker 8: All right, appreciate you guy, Dallas.
