But I think I haven't met 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.640 a cowboy fan yet that does not sing praises about 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.760 the job that Will McClay does around here. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.840 Except for this trap class. No, I'm playing, I'm playing. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.480 Let's give it a year's give it a year. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:21.040 Out, first quarter's let it play out. 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.480 But Will, No, Will is and a great human being, more. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.200 Than any person, more than anything, more than any like 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.160 this is still a dude who doesn't have to stop 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.280 and take a phone call or take a text back 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.440 or from any of us. I don't know if you 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.120 got sexy or not, but like for him willing to 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.200 do that, like's just a better person. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.960 Yep, Yep, we'll talk to anybody. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.880 Yeah, is a clock ticking though? 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.480 On him getting out of it, on him getting a 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.560 GM job somewhere else, Is that what you're. 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.080 Chris says, no, they're paying g I think. Kurt says no, 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.040 he got a good gig here. You say no. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.760 I think it depends. So it's kind of like the 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.280 dan Quinn discussion, like what do you want out of 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.720 life at this point in your life? 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:06.200 Right? 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.799 Do you do you want that? Because if he wants it, 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.000 there's plenty of opportunity out there, there's people probably chomping 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.320 at the bit. Or is he good with the situation here? 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.799 His family's here? You know what, what do you want 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:20.120 out of this? 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.840 To deal with the You know, Jerry takes the blows. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:24.440 Right and wrong. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.239 So he's kind of the kind of the backup quarterback. 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.799 He doesn't get, but he doesn't really get in the 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:30.839 light shine on him. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:31.720 Let me ask you this. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.200 Yeah, so say we could probably get him on the 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.600 show and ask him probably. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.760 Textam and see coming on the show. Whoever else is 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.560 not do that. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.080 So if he goes, just say give me a team, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.600 give me a team that needs a GM anybody. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:49.680 I guess I don't know. 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.040 Let's let's say it Denver, Denver. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.160 He goes to Denver and he turns that program around. Okay, 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.360 if he turns this program around, he's legendary, I believe 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:02.360 you know what I'm saying. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.360 If he gets this Cowboys, the Cowboys, Yes, if he gets. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.800 Them into a Super Bowl contender, that's that's legendary. You 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.320 know Denver, It's like, okay, but the Cowboys would be like. 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:13.600 But he's is he going to get any of the 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:14.360 credit here though? 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:15.120 Oh? 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.720 He gets credit now, you know in the community. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.039 He does for sure. Yeah, he gets credit in the 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.799 NFL community. Yeah, you're right, you're right, like other people 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.560 know what he does here, Like you're you're average fan. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.680 That's not hardcore. They think it's you know, all Stephen, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.800 all Jerry. They don't realize it's a kind of a collaboration. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.039 So yeah, he doesn't seem to one. He seems okay 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.080 with that situation, Like Jerry got the Executive of the 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.880 Year award or whatever it wasn't it wasn't Will And 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.520 maybe he's okay with that situation. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.839 I guess I'll just ask the question, what do you think. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.880 I think eventually all good things come to an end. 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.799 I just do I just I just think. Eventually he goes, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:57.560 you know what. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.080 It was cool. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:04:59.880 It was cool. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.000 I did it, and go see what else is out there. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.200 Let me see if I can go and do it again. 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:05.840 Yeah right, I don't know. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.919 I don't I don't know, like I just I just 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:08.760 pose a question. 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.760 But and the other thing is too, like when you 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:16.000 think about football, everybody that is involved in football, doesn't 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.360 matter what level you're at. If you work for a 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.400 professional sports team, you're a competitive You don't work in 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.560 this environment unless you like to compete correct and at 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.279 some point you like to test yourself. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:30.160 That's what I'm saying. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.960 Can I go do this completely on my own, start 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.680 from scratch, build my own thing, go do like that's 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.400 probably you're right. That's he's a competitor. Hell, he was 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.279 a coach in the Arena League. Like he competes. I mean, 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.159 so you're right, there's probably an. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.520 I'm not saying that it's going to happen. I'm just 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.280 saying at some point in time, maybe he sits up 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:54.120 there and he goes, you know what, because we've asked ourselves. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.880 Sometimes you see it across the league, you'd be like, man, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.720 that dude just walked away, or that dude just stopped, 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.479 or he just went on to another company, because sometimes 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.719 you just like, you know what, new challenge, new challenge, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.160 new thing, you want to kind of spice up your life. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.839 Right, I don't know, but I hope he stays here forever. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.400 Yeah, I love Will.

Let me where is it? Okay, 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.120 you want the full list or what do you want here? 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.439 Yeah, run through it. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:56.240 Marquise Bell shoulder full participant. Don't don't, don't do anybody that, Okay, 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.760 lemoned de mont Clark's shoulder. That's what you want to 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.840 hear from here now, starting line by right. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.760 Uh, don't need your shoulder to tackle? 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.440 Yeah, yes, if you want to tackle. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.480 Neville Gallimore limited knee, Stefan Gilmour he got a rest day. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.800 Goodwin Peck did not play. Jonathan Hankins he got a 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:21.559 rest day. Cooker he was hooker. Sorry, DeMarcus Lawrence rests 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:26.560 like Martin rest, Tony Pollard shoulder limited, Tyron Smith or 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.640 ty Yeah, Tyron Smith got a rest day. Juan Ye 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.360 Thomas hamstring did not practice turping with his ankles out. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.360 Vander sh He's out. That's it. I guess some other 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.720 guys are on there, but they were still full participants. 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.640 That that leads to that stat you were talking about 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.400 the other day his teams that play the Niners lose 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.440 the next game. They like it's like one to fifteen. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.400 But it ended up being like if you date back 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.000 to like even like last year, like literally like look 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.160 into it, it's like twenty three of twenty four games. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.240 Yeah, it's crazy, like teams have lost. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.520 Like the only team that's won like maybe like the 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:08.000 last two seasons been Pittsburgh. After you played she was 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:08.760 one in fifteen. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.000 Yeah, that was it's even like I heard it was 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:11.839 like bigger. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:12.640 Than that goes back further. 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.800 Yeah, so it's it's lining up to look like that. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.960 It's like the mass unit. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.800 And that's what you want this team to be, like 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.480 you you want them to feel when they you know, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.480 when somebody plays them. You want them you want them 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.959 to beat folks up, you know. And it's so that 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.440 that brings us to this question. CD said after the game. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.440 He spoke, he was pissed. He spoke as little as possible. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:39.760 There was kind of a common theme of everyone that 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:44.480 spoke in the media except Michael. Except Michael. He said 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.400 that he doesn't know what the identity of this team is, 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:53.200 and I'm with him. I don't see an identity. I 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.640 thought maybe you had an identity the first three games. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.240 It was going to be a takeaway defense. Defense was 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.480 going to control the Your offense was gonna do just 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.560 enough to to get you some wins. They could put 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:10.720 up points when they needed to. That's, you know, that's 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.880 what I thought. And then then then you get the 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.800 speed bump of Arizona, and then you get the train 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.640 wreck of saying fran and then you're definitely not a 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.560 vertical team right now. Could you be? Maybe, but you're not. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.440 You're not really a running team on offense defense. You're 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.959 so banged up it's hard to tell what you are. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.400 Is that normal five weeks into a season? Is it 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.600 usually take a little longer just to figure that out? 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.480 Or you know, the identity I think a lot of 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.120 what Mike McCarthy talked about it being right, we're gonna 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.400 rely on our defense and the offense will be kind 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.000 of the pacesetter and you know, doing what we have 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.760 to do. It's it's when that doesn't work, what is 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:57.080 your counter right? Because when it worked and those three wins, it's, 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.040 you know what, I like this identity and we can 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.880 go with this identity. This is we're we're winning these 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.360 games far and away. It's when it doesn't work, when 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.719 you have that glitch in the system, that glitch and 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.000 the matrix in and you face a team, and you 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.920 meet a team, and then the one thing that is 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:19.360 really so difficult to equate, and I don't care who 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.240 the analytics person is, what formula they have, is when 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:28.360 you begin to lose players, when injury begins to present itself. Now, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.200 because no team, like no team comes into the season 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.920 and go all right, Jamen, here's our plan. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.440 We're gonna do this, this, this, this, this, this and this. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.400 But if we lose this guy and lose that guy, 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.520 he's hurting, he's banged up, then we're gonna do this. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.640 No one ever does that. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.720 Everyone goes in with the idea of here's what we're 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.960 gonna do, full steam ahead, and will adjust along the way. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.480 The hope is and when you look at the end 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.680 of the season, a lot of teams, the ones who 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.960 are successful and win, yes, have skill, but a lot 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.040 of them are able to win the war of attrition, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.840 They're able to win the injury battle. They don't limp 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.880 into the playoffs. They don't have major key members of 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.960 either side of the ball, especially the side of the 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.160 ball where now your identity is supposed to be built 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.760 injured or hurt. The Cowboys are starting to run into 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.640 that thing where, all right, our identity, there's kind of 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:23.200 been a crack in our foundation because now guys are 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.320 starting to you lose Traymon Diggs and you Donovan Wilson 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.000 was hurt coming into the season, and now Layton van 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.920 dersh is heard, and guys are starting to just come 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.320 up on the injury report banged up, banged up, banged up. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.600 And when you have to do these musical chairs where 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.120 guys have to come out of what they was playing 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.440 before into this place and now you have to change 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.280 the what you call a game. That now presents another situation. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.160 So when you start looking at what our identity is, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:49.800 no coach on either. 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.520 Side of the ball plans for injuries. You just don't. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.680 You don't how you just don't. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.720 You hope that you have a good enough roster of 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.120 backup guys that if you lose someone that you're able 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.640 to move into that spot, move them into that spot 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.720 and continue on and somewhat the same path. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.880 But for this team, now it's. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.680 All right, if our identity is defense and we're gonna 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:14.960 be physical and turn the ball over. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.400 When that doesn't happen, you have to have an answer. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.400 And the fact that the fact of the matter is 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.800 they haven't had an answer for that, and the two 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.240 losses when it was like, hey, the defense and this 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.320 is what this is. This is how good teams balance 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.160 each other out. When y'all aren't having a good day, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.760 we'll give you thirty, right. You and Nate talk about 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.240 all the time. Nate would come in and say, Jimmy 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.520 will come in there and say, hey, North, we need thirty. 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.400 We got to score to day. Hey, hey, so and so, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.480 we need y'all to hold in the thirteen. If y'all 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.600 can hold them thirteen, we'll do the rest. It's when 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.200 you look to the other side and you go, hey, 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.240 we need something, they go, hell, we need something too, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.640 And now y'all both looking there like who's on first. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.600 That that's kind of the scary thing. I think is 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.439 that you're talking about the injury part of it, and 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.600 I think I read Lamb's comments is like he was 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.040 mainly talking about the offense. Well, you haven't been other 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.640 than a banged up offensive line. Your starters have been 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.159 in there and yet we're seeing problems with them getting 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.480 that offense and going. And NATO has always talked about, 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.560 you know, the first four games of the preseason with 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.600 this new offense. Are we just it needs more time 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.080 to find the rhythm and find how to work this offense? 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.600 Or is this have we have we now eached a 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.440 point where yeah, this there's something wrong and then we 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.680 got a problem here as far as wrong, Yeah, I 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.400 mean they're they're moving, they're moving the ball, their their 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.760 time of possessions. You know, we're all been great, but 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.560 their production is lacking. And I think that's got everybody 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:48.159 kind of worried. 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:55.000 Yeah, well, in today's football, Like the style of what 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.120 they're trying to operate right now is just not today's football. 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.520 The six yards its air passing, the control offense, the 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.359 you know, the running game at you know three point 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.040 four four point you know, yards of carrying, it's just 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.800 not it's just not an efficient way to do business 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.439 in today's NFL. And that's where you see a lot 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:15.720 of the stories. And I have an article that I 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.040 haven't got a chance to kind of dig into, and 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:23.399 it's talking about is this offense and antiquated offense? Is 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.439 it is it an offense that is outdated? And you 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.360 kind of have to look around and start asking yourself 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:35.639 is it Because we're heading into the week six. Now, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.919 I get that you want to kind of, you know, 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:41.719 get into the system of this thing. But I mean 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.840 we're getting close to the point where you're starting to 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.200 look around and go, well, how much more can you change? 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:46.880 Right? 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.400 Like, how much more can you change? We're six weeks 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.880 into the season, you know. I know, after a bye 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.639 you kind of make adjustments, but even during the bye, 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.360 you're not making wholesale changes. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:18:58.400 It's tweaking. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.639 So if we're talking talking about tweaking, what you tweak 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.360 every single week, right, depending on the opponent. But we're 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.879 talking about a wholesale change. Wholesale changes don't come in 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.399 the in the middle of the year unless you're Jason Garrett. 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.679 You know, let me stop. But unless you fire a 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.720 coach and they have to bring in an entire new 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.399 system in that's when the wholesale change happens. There is 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:34.919 something that's philosophically, or stylistically or schematically incorrect with this offense. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:36.800 Right now, I'm not going to say broken. I don't 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.160 I don't want to use that word just yet, I'm 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:40.200 going to say that it's. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.720 It's missing, it's it's not clicking. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.520 It's on the IR, it's on the injury report, it 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:48.639 the pup. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.879
