00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: it through halfway through another week. It's a blessing to

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: still be here. So I'm excited to get into what

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about today because I know the church

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: is gonna say something crazy make us laugh, and then

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to be so with some crazy rational now.

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for today, Hey, December sixteenth, which means

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: we're getting closer and closer to the end of twenty twenty,

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: and I think we'll all be good if we can

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: get ahead and get to twenty twenty one. The Cowboys

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: will face the forty nine Ers on Sunday. That game

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: was supposed to be on NBC's Sunday Night Football, but

27
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: it got flexed out, so it is a noon football.

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers are favorite by three points. In this game.

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: The Cowboys could get some reinforcements back, Okay, so yeah,

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: one of the problems for the Cowboys has been that

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: defensive backfield whole year long. The man who leads the

32
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: team and interceptions, rookie Travad Digs could be back. Cheeto

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Woozier's off COVID nineteen, so I expect Cheeto to play,

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: and Donovan Wilson, the safety he's back in practice, we

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: expect him to play. So Barry Church, your thoughts on

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: some reinforcements coming in here to deal with Brandon I

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: Youth and those forty nine receivers. Man, you know what, hey,

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: we need all the help we can get. I mean, look,

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I was proud of what the secondary did last week

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, but like we all said, man, it

41
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: was the Bengals and they were down to Brandon Island

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: out there. But the secondary did fight and they scratched

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: and they showed some competitives out there. So I definitely

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: it was happy what I saw from them last week,

45
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: But we need the reinforcements now. If we get to

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: the individual players. If I'm Trayvon Day's personally, if I'm

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Trayvon this, I'm not coming back. I'm saying, look, man,

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: this season is over with right now. I didn't put

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: good tape on there. Yes, I had some ups and downs.

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I got beat but it's my rookie year and all

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: people keep talking about it just fighting his ability out there.

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: He leads the team interceptions. I think he's still leads

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: a team in pass deflections like four or five. So

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: if I'm him, I'm like, look, man, I had I

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: had a solid rookie season. I'm gonna go ahead and

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: rest up and get back and get ready for this

57
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: for this next upcoming season. Now, cheto Woozy. On the

58
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: other hand, he gotta come back. He has got to

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: come back, and he has got to put good tape

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: out there, because right now he's entering free agency with

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: some of the worst tape out of scene at a

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: corner position. When he came back from from his hamstring

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back, he looked like he was

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: running in sand. Out there. Everybody and their mom was

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: running past this kid, and he put on bad tape. Now,

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: going into free agency, that's the one thing you do

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: not want to do at all. You don't want to

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: put any other bad doubt and any other franchise out

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: there that hey, this kid might not be able to

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: cover or he's too slow to be out there and covering.

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: So for me, if I'm Cheeto, I had to come

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: out in these last three games, I gotta put good

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: tape out there or else, man, he might be looking

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: like a minimum contract type. Dude. Listen, listen. From the

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: player's perspective, sounds amazing, But from a coaching the perspective,

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: dig's gotta be out there. I would I probably wouldn't

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: put Cheeto out there. But you just pay Anthony Brown,

78
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: so you're pretty sure he's gonna be on the roster

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: next season. You need to see what your what your

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: defensive backfield looks like, what type of potential they have,

81
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: See if they've been able to learn anything, and see

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: if they can learn anything over these next three games.

83
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: You have to you have to you have to see

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: that to know like what you have going into the

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: next year. Cheeto, you know he's most likely out of here.

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: But me me as a GM and as a head coach,

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: I want to know what I have when I want

88
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: to see these guys make a little progression over the

89
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: last three weeks against some live actions. So these guys

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: need to be out there plan. Let me ask this question.

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: I'll start with you mcraye. If you're digs, do you

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: want to go against some other rookie receiver see Brandon

93
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: I first round wide receiver next week, Jalen rag or

94
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles comes into town. It does it become a

95
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: personal thing where you know, you seeing the guy in

96
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: your rookie class and you want to prove something to him.

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: And I asked that because I read the book Three

98
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: Ring Circus, and whenever there was somebody in Kobe Bryant's

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: rookie class, he always wanted to prove a point to them.

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: So I'm just asking that question. Does that go through

101
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: Dbe's minds at all? Well, listen, listen. Kobe is one

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: of a kind guys. So I won't go into too

103
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Digs's mind and you know, and say who he really

104
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: wants to compete against. I'll tell you this, I'm pretty

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: sure that he wants to continue to get better as

106
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: we saw him do as the season progressed. Right, So,

107
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: we saw him fighting, then we saw him getting beat

108
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: a couple of times when we were impressed with how

109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: he never gave up, and he made some hustle plays

110
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: and then they'll start turning into interceptions. So in his mind,

111
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: he's like, I was just starting to get better. I

112
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: was just starting to get rolling. I want to get

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: out there and finish this all, you know, and show

114
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: these guys what I can really do, hopefully finish the

115
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 1: season off with a few more interceptions in big plays.

116
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: So in his mind, I think, I think that's what

117
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: he's thinking. He's getting better and he wants to continue

118
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: to show that and lead leave off on a season

119
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: on a good note. Yeah, I guess I'm old, and

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: I guess you know I'm the vetting the in here

121
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: because I would have been if if I'm Tafon Days,

122
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: my thought press us would have been like, well, just

123
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: like what I told y'all earlier, hold on, man, I

124
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: had a solid I had a solid rookie campaign. Everybody's

125
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: kind of putting me on this pedal stores one of

126
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: the guys that can that can be a future star

127
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: out there. I'm not risking it by going out there

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: and putting any bad tape out there so y'all can

129
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: have me labeled like cho Woozier out here. There's just

130
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: no way that I would go out there and do that.

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: I would just rest into that next twenty twenty one year.

132
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: But hey, hey, that's just me. But I wouldn't as

133
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: a coach though. As a coach, get yeah, if I'm

134
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan, I'm like, Yo, you gotta get out there.

135
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I need you out there. I need everybody. I need

136
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: everybody on deck. I'm trying to save my job. I

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: need everybody on deck. So if I'm Mike Nolan, I'm

138
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: for sure telling him, hey, you gotta get out there.

139
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: But if I'm Diggs, nah Man, I'm chilling. I did

140
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: what I could these first these first couple of games,

141
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and relax. But to the point

142
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: that Nui talked about as far as DBS, I'm going

143
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: out there against rookies. My mindset when I was out

144
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: there as a safety, I was more I got to

145
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: outplay the other safety out there. So if we're going

146
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: against you know, the Seattle Seahawks when they had Earl

147
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: and Cam Chancellor or another good safety out there, I

148
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't focus myself on, you know, being able

149
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: to outplay the offense. They would be. Let me go

150
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: out there and I'll play those all their safeties and

151
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: let them know, hey, I'm in the same realm a y'all.

152
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: Did I make just as much as an impact as

153
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: y'all did. So that was just my thought press us

154
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: going into the game against other safeties with timent. Well,

155
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: this rookie receiver, Brandon Ayu is the real deal. He's

156
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: a very good wide receiver with bad quarterback play, which

157
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: also is impressive to me because Nick Mullins and c. J.

158
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Bath struggled, and even Jimmy Garoppolo when he's been out

159
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: there this year, he struggled. And so I look at

160
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: that young man. I just say, wow, what could he

161
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: do if he had somebody that could actually get him

162
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: to football on a regular basis. He could have some

163
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: more chemistry with this rookie receiving class here has been

164
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: very impressive. And I feel bad for Jalen reagor kid

165
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: over at the Philadelphia because the media and the fans

166
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: are on him because they're like, why do we take you?

167
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Like we could have had to we had Brandon Ay.

168
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Philadelphia folks are cold, man. Look at everybody

169
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: else that came after you, but we're stuck. It wouldn't

170
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't have helped the way Carson Winson

171
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: is playing. It don't matter who out there receiver, they're

172
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: not getting the ball to none of them. Dude. He

173
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: got he got some serviceable guys out there who could

174
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: make some plays. But the way we've seen Carson Wentz play,

175
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: he lost his job last two weeks ago and he's

176
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: still not going to be starting this week. So he

177
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to get anything done. With some

178
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: of those type receivers, they would have been wasted their

179
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: first year. So I'm glad my boy, Justin Jefferson did

180
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: not end up in phillyd a tremendous campaign with the

181
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and how well did that work out. Stefan

182
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: Diggs is in Buffalo. He's helped Josh Allen their NFC.

183
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: She said, AFC East champions. They're going to the playoffs.

184
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota unloaded the contract, got themselves a number one pick,

185
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: and then get they get George Jefferson, who looks like

186
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: he can do everything Diggs is done and does it

187
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: as a cheaper into That's one of the few times

188
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: when you look at the team and just say, man,

189
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: that was a really good move, because a lot of

190
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: times when you lose a guy like that do you

191
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: never get close to replacing himself. Minnesota ended up doing. Okay, there, Church,

192
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: you asked a question when we were bouncing our topics here, Um,

193
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: who are some defensive players? If you're the Cowboys, you

194
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: don't bring back who are free agents? So I'll let

195
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: you go first on this unless you want me to,

196
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: because I've got a name of a guy I would

197
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: bring back. Okay, an upcoming defense worth keeping, a guy

198
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: would bring the go ahead? Now he got it, Okay,

199
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: here it is Aldon Smith at thirty one years old.

200
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: He is second on the team in splash plays behind

201
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: Tank Lords with twenty four He's played six hundred and

202
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: fifty two snaps. Um for a guy who hadn't played

203
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: in five years, I thought he looked well and I'd

204
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: like to see what he could do next year coming

205
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: off this year, especially having a whole all season getting

206
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: his body ready. Um, but I start to look at

207
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: the numbers here. Okay, let's look at the money. You're

208
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna have twenty four million dollars get off the cap.

209
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Tyron Crawford's nine millions gone, Sean Lee's four point five

210
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: million is gone, Everson Griffins six million is gone, and

211
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy's four point five million dollars gonna said, twenty

212
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: four million dollars out the duel. If you give him

213
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: a two two three year contract maybe two, and you're

214
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: paying him Tyron Crawford's money nine million a year or

215
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: eight million a year, I have no problem with that.

216
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Being on the other side of Tank Lawrens, especially not

217
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: knowing because the draft is in April. I got to

218
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: get this thing done, most likely in March. I would

219
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: like to keep someone in the building at defensive end,

220
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: and we could say Randy Gregory. But I'm not ready

221
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: to trust Randy Gregory one hundred percent there just yet.

222
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: So I would bring Alden Smith back. That's the free

223
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: agent defensive player I bring back. I got a couple

224
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: of questions on that. On that one one, you said

225
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: he has twenty four splash plays. What are we considering

226
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: splash plays here? That's a great question. I just ready

227
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: to stay frank it all day. That's good. I was

228
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I was hoping you would ask that because I was

229
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: writing down about But but it looks good. It looks

230
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: like it's like I will rush win, right, you know,

231
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: it looks good. It looks good, and he's number two

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: behind tanks. Oh bad a little overall if we get look,

233
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm with bringing analytics Smith back. Analytics who who wait? Oh,

234
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: pro Football Focus is run back Collinsworth, right, he is

235
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: a part. But this I'm not sure that this came

236
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: for Pro Football Focus. So so I'm not sure. Okay, okay, okay,

237
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: all right, Well I'll say this. I'm with bringing Alden

238
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: Smith back on on a on a very teen friendly deal.

239
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: And I don't consider you know, tying Crawford's nine meal.

240
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's very team friendly, especially when

241
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: you got, like you said, Randy Gregory right there in

242
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: the wings, who these past couple of weeks has come

243
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: along and he's come along and he's starting to get

244
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: things rolling. And like you said, with Alden Smith getting

245
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: a full offseason, maybe he would become better. I'm sure

246
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: what Randy Gregory as well. If he get a full

247
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: I'll see him under his belt without anything going on.

248
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: I think he would be better as well. And I

249
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: think he would be that complimentary piece um to DeMarcus

250
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: Lawrence that we would need. So overall, I don't know.

251
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: Just the price would have to be right for me

252
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: to be able to bring back Aldon Smith. It had

253
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: to be extreme. Give me an I would say around

254
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: I was, I would say around four or five five

255
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: being the tops. I pay five a year for Aldon Smith.

256
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: Right now, he just has besides that scooping score, he

257
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: just he just doesn't hasn't done anything since the first

258
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. And okay, now let's just put it

259
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: out here. You're saying give him Sean Lee money, and yes,

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: and look at okay, and Sean Lee this year as

261
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: a linebacker is barely played. I'm sorry if I'm Alden Smith.

262
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: I'll go to the market before I take four or five.

263
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, as a pass running he should. And that's

264
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: what I think he'll end up doing. I think he'll

265
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: hit the market, and I think somebody will pay him

266
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: probably up upwards of ten million to go out there

267
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: and b a d N for them. I just don't

268
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit too expensive for a

269
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: guy like that, who I feel is probably a rotational

270
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: piece in a down cap. I mean, remember the CAP's

271
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: going down. Do you think he's gonna get ten millions

272
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: cap goes down? It somebo guy who's who's had his

273
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: past issues, who's had his past issue. Yea. I was

274
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: going to say, both of y'all, both of y'all allow

275
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: here acting like Randy Gregory and all the Smith have

276
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: really proved to y'all that for the next few years

277
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: they're going to be on a straight, narrow No, I'm

278
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: not giving all the Smith no three year deal for

279
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: the nine million dollars because he made it through one

280
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen season where we was on lockdown the entire time. No,

281
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: you can't just push them something to the side. It's

282
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a good thing that he hasn't

283
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: that he hasn't gotten into any trouble this year, but

284
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: that is still a big thing hanging over him and

285
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory's head. Are they able to be out there

286
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: on the field? Can you depend on these guys to

287
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: stay available? Same thing I said about Tyren Smith. It's

288
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: nothing against how they play the game, but are they

289
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: going to be available? Do you trust all the Smith

290
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: enough to give him a three year deal and depend

291
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: on him to be your right defensive endor? Danny? I

292
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: can I give you a retort to that? Absolutely? Isn't

293
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: this isn't this the organization that is out here giving

294
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: out second, third, four chances. I mean, if you're talking

295
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: about organ, who's gonna trust him? Jerry, Who's gonna roll

296
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: the dome? On who that worked out for? I think

297
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: the last the last guy we tried that went was

298
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, and then before that it was Greg Hardy.

299
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean how many times we're gonna try to say

300
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: and it's the same position, like this is last chance you? Okay,

301
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying this last chance you man? Lando McClain, Yeah, yeah,

302
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you mean Alonzo Spellman, I mean, I go,

303
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: I go down the list. But I'm just saying this

304
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: is chance. So when you say who's gonna do it,

305
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: the cowboys are gonna know. I'm just saying you, you

306
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: as a GM, is that something that you are doing.

307
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: You trust what you've seen from Altar Smith so much

308
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: on the field that sure that you're able to say,

309
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: you know what, he played well enough for me to say,

310
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: even if he does fall off just a little bit

311
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: or get into some trouble, it's worth the risk, and

312
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I'll give him three years, not with nine million dollars

313
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: year twenty seven million dollars. Now, now, can I let

314
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: me Now, let me just throw this out here with

315
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: the caveat of what I suggested. Your contract is going

316
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: to be set up in a way almost just like

317
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: Greg's Erlin's contract. Okay, I'm gonna set it up in

318
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: this way in which I can get out of it.

319
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: And that's something that I believe is more than fair

320
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: for the team and the player is, hey, look we'll

321
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: pay you, but because of what's happened in the past,

322
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: we have to have some insurance and protection for ourselves.

323
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: It's almost like the general mccoi contract. Now they put

324
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: some things in because he had that knee issue or

325
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: whatever the leg issue he had. They put some insurance

326
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: in me. Hey, if you heard it, then did we

327
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: get out of it? And they were able to get

328
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: out of the contract. So Danny, you're right. You know,

329
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here saying, hey, it's a guaranteed contract.

330
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: But but what I am going to do is pay you.

331
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm going to pay you

332
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: with protect actions um for myself because of the past. Listen,

333
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm looking at the defensive end, the edge

334
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: rusher list here for upcoming free agents, and I'm seeing

335
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: names like Olivier Vernon. I'm seeing Trent Murphy, I'm seeing

336
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Pronell McPhee, I'm seeing Matthew june On. I'm seeing all

337
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: these names, and I'm going to make a run at

338
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: some of these guys before before I think about picking

339
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: up all the smith Somebody on that list is looking

340
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: for a one year, team friendly deal so they can

341
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: play it out. Somebody on that list is looking for

342
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: one of those, and I think we can get one. Okay, Now,

343
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: let me let me ask this. Okay, we just I'm

344
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna push you a little bit more than if you

345
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: are trying to sign Dak Prescott, can you afford to

346
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: pay the price tag it may cost you to get

347
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: one of these free agent defensive ends because they're not

348
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: going to be cheap. I'm we need to go with

349
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: my approach. That's why we need to go with my

350
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to that. I've been trying to tell y'all, man,

351
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: this this is listen. This is the same thing, all right.

352
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: It's somebody like like Jadavian Clowney set out there and

353
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: he ended up getting lucky. It's one of these guys

354
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: on this list. It's going to be sitting out there

355
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: because teams aren't going to be willing to pay whatever

356
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: price tag. They think they're all work and you can

357
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: scoop in and pay them a team friendly deal. The

358
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: list is long. It's I see about thirty forty dudes

359
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: on this list. All right, somebody is going to be

360
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: available for you to go bring in, have a conversation

361
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: with and see if it really fits. Not like you

362
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: did every since Griffin, have a real conversation with the

363
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinated and see if this really fits with something

364
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: that you want to do. I would take that look

365
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: first before I thought about giving an Order Smith a

366
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: three year deal. Nothing against him, but I just haven't

367
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: forgotten about the pass the same way I haven't forgot

368
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: about the pass with Randy Gregor. Okay, so Danny, who

369
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: would you have? So who would you pick? Who would

370
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: you pick? D Mac not bad? Now he might bad?

371
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: I need to cut you off my back. No, no, no, man,

372
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: that you know what. It's really tough. I would really

373
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: have to go watch some film monic because I don't

374
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: want to pick them just off the name. But I

375
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: know that these guys have been able to make some

376
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: serious plays and they're proven players and they haven't been

377
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: they haven't had any off the field issues. They are

378
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: available for you for sixteen games throughout the season. Well,

379
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: then the issue is with these guys, and if their

380
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: agents are smart, they're gonna be pushing to get these

381
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: guys signed in March. With a guy like Everson Griffin,

382
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: Look how long you waited. So if you want to

383
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: play that waiting game, sit out free agency, you know,

384
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: go through the draft and then hope, you know, come

385
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: training cantime that you can get a deal on some guys.

386
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: Then they could do that. That's something they could do.

387
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: It'll be very interesting to see how the Cowboys approaching

388
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: because they want to rebuild this defense. Are they willing

389
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: to wait to try and get that part? Hey, let's

00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: you by Hotels dot Com. I'm new Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter,

435
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: joined by Barry Church and Danny muld create, two former

436
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys safeties. Cowboys getting ready to face San Francisco

437
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: forty nine ers this week. The Cowboys have not had

438
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: back to back wins this season at all. I did

439
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: a little digging and I sent you guys this note.

440
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to look at Mike McCarthy since he's a

441
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: head coach right here, no back to back wins? I said,

442
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: when's the last time McCarthy had back to back wins

443
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: as a head coach? Remember he sat out all of

444
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. In twenty eighteen, he did not have a

445
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: back to back win, and he was fired after going

446
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: four set having in one, so twelve games gone. So

447
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: then I went back to twenty seventeen, and he did

448
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: have back to back wins. He had two of them.

449
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: It was December tenth, a win over Cleveland, and December third,

450
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: a win over Tampa Bay. Both of those wins were

451
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: in overtime. That Cleveland team with oh and sixteen. That

452
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 1: Bucks team went five and eleven. Gentlemen, let me who

453
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: was his quarterback? Who's this quarterback during that time? It's

454
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: a good question, hunt I don't Huntley was that the guy?

455
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: So wait, wait, wait for that whole time, Aaron Rodgers

456
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: was not his quarterback. Oh no, he was in there.

457
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: He slid in there. Okay, Okay, I'm just so yeah,

458
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers get back. I don't know. I don't know,

459
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: yah and so and so the question I would I

460
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: would ask you, guys, is consistently people will say, hey,

461
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: a player has lost a step or a player doesn't

462
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: have what they used to. Could we say the same

463
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: thing about coaches, that coaches can cannot be as good

464
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: as you? Because I remember, and you guys are too

465
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: young for this. I remember in nineteen eighty eight when

466
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: Tom Landry with three thirteen people said game passed to

467
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: buy Remember what Chuck nod? Towards the end, people say,

468
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: you know what, Chuck No, can't do it anymore. They

469
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: said things about Don Shula. We're looking at Mike McCarthy

470
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: here at his last three games. Man, here, it's a

471
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: losing record. Can this guy be losing it a little bit?

472
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: And that's despite the fact Jerry said he's coming back.

473
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: That's fun. But I'm just wondering. I'm just asking the question.

474
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: Because we say it about players all the time, can

475
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: we say the same thing about coaches? Church? Church Listen,

476
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 1: you gonna understand this. While I'm laughing so hard when

477
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: knew he brought this question up, I'm just gonna say

478
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: this name, and I'm gonna see if y'all get a

479
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: little chuckle out of you. Monty Kiffin does do your

480
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: loser stuff? Do you loser stuff? Can the game pass

481
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: you by? Absolutely? You write about that, bro? Yes, man,

482
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: that the game evolved, It continues to evolve. Man. We

483
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: got we got different type of quarterbacks playing, We got

484
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: a different type of defense needs to be run. We

485
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: got different type of special teams stuffing going on. Yes,

486
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: the game eVols. You can lose a step, but if

487
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: you go sitting in the bar and you and you

488
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: do analytics, then then you shouldn't lose a step. So

489
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know at this point is what it is.

490
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: We'll just see. Hey, man, I ain't gonna let y'all

491
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: sit here and pile up on my boy Big Mike

492
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: like that. Man. Look, he had an off year. Man,

493
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: he lost his QB one, he lost all his offensive linemen,

494
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: and his boy, his best friend, one of one of

495
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 1: his boys, Mike Nolan, who he thought was gonna come

496
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: in here and improve the defense, ended up not doing

497
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: anything as far as being a part of this defense.

498
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: So look, I gotta give him a pass for this

499
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: one year. Is it possible that the game can pass

500
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: you back? One course it is. We saw we saw it.

501
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: We saw it with Kiffin, We saw with if even

502
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: the coaches in the same room with kiffing her like, man,

503
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: this dude doesn't know what he's talking about. So the

504
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: game can pass you by. But I'm not ready to

505
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: say that yet about Mike. Man. I can't do Big

506
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: Mike like that, know it? No? It did you just

507
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: read off something all the way goes all the way

508
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen, Church and talked about one off

509
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: here yea twenty what was his record? But what was

510
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: his record that that year? Though I understand he's four

511
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: seven one, four seventy one. They got the bhurt he

512
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: was in twenty eighteen, he was four seventy one. And yeah,

513
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: and I'm looking here at that last season okay, by

514
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: the way for four seventy one, and they fired him

515
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: after they got beat at home by the Arizona Cardinals

516
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen, who was quarterbacked by Josh Rosen that day.

517
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen was eleven to twenty six for one hundred

518
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: and forty nine yards. David Johnson was a leading rusher

519
00:25:51,640 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: for twenty carries in sixty nine yards. So listen, let

520
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: me let me break this down for Church, right, let

521
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: me break this down for Church, because I don't want

522
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: Church to feel like I don't want to feel like that.

523
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: For me. It's like me going in on Big Mike.

524
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you like this, Church, So

525
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: what do you think, you know, how you watch Hard

526
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: Knocks and all those TV shows to where they go,

527
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, back into the to the meeting rooms and

528
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: you listen to the coaches talk about the players, and

529
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: you had always been one of those guys who say, man,

530
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: I wonder what they'd be saying about us. And in

531
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: the back of that room back there, right when guys

532
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: were starting to get cut, guys are starting to get released.

533
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you these conversations that we are having

534
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: right now, they are being had about players in the

535
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: locker room around every around every team in the league.

536
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: So the coaches can get the same stuff too. It

537
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: ain't nothing against Mike. We're just going we just went

538
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: back against his record saying he ain't want to back

539
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: to back games this twenty seventeen he got to the Cowboys,

540
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: and we do have all these issues. But right now

541
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: we're sitting there four wins, and even when Dak was playing,

542
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: we was sitting that to it three. So I mean,

543
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, something's got to give. He is having a

544
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: rough year. He's going to give another shot at it,

545
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: but for this year. I'm just talking about this year.

546
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: This is this is what I see from him and

547
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: when he got to the Cowboys. But we go ahead,

548
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, and they go ahead. When we talk about analytics,

549
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: they start to take together, Hey what have you done here?

550
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: Here here? And they started putting it together to spit

551
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: out a number and and that, and I first Babe Laufenberg,

552
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: who's the analyst for Cowboys Radio Dallas Cowboys Radio. He's

553
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: the first person that brought together like, hey, this is

554
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: what Mike. Mike's record is, you know, over the past

555
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: two or three years, and and every you know, it's

556
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: just it's tough. And you start going back and you look,

557
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just tough. So when we go back

558
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: to back to back, wins Bury, we got to go

559
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: to twenty seventeen and it was against a team they

560
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: went oh and sixteen, coached by Hugh Jackson got fired.

561
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: And then it was against a five and eleven Tampa

562
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: Bay team coached by Dirt Cotter, who's since been fired.

563
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Just saying I mean, I understand it. But but if

564
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: we look at all the other first year coaches with

565
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: their new team this year, I mean, he he hasn't

566
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: done that bad. I mean, yeah, it's not where the

567
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: expectations were where we thought coming into the year. We

568
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: thought this was a playoff caliber team, could be a

569
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl caliboy team. It just hasn't panned out that way.

570
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: But when you put him against all the other teams

571
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: that have, you know, new coaches for their first year,

572
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't done that bad. I think he deserves another

573
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: year ago at least another goal. Oh, let's go all right,

574
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: he hasn't done that bad. His record is not that bad.

575
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland's first year head coach Kevin Stefanski is nine and four.

576
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: He came into AT and T Stadium and beat the

577
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: breaks off the Cowboys and rushed for three hundred and

578
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: seven yards with a second and third string running back. Okay,

579
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: uh you first year The other first year head coach,

580
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera, he's got cancer. His team is six and

581
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: seven and they beat the Cowboys twice. Other first year

582
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: head coach Joe jug five and eight. Mike McCarthy did

583
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: beat him. But the Giants right now have an opportunity

584
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: to win the division and they yeah for first year

585
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: head coach and he fired. He fired Mark Colombo during

586
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: the year and they got better. Mark Colombo making a difference.

587
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: Listen here, listen, knew it, knew it. Listen, don't let

588
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Church fool you. It ain't about the records, bro, It's

589
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: about what you watch when no, listen, it's about what

590
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: you head coach. There we go, there you go, they

591
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: go to me. It's about what you see when you

592
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: when you watch the team, what's around the team. You

593
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: think about the issues that we've talked about around this

594
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: team since Mike McCarthy has got here. Outside of the record,

595
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: the fact that we are last in the division, all right,

596
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: outside of that, we are last Indie, worst division in

597
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: the National Football League, we last, all right. Outside of that,

598
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,640

Speaker 1: They are here smashing watermellons from mo Eva. They out here,

604
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just listening. We've talked about a special

605
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: team's coach possibly calling his own players and not letting

606
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: the head coach. No. We talked about We've talked about

607

608
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: hasn't produced at all, and and and possibly continuing to

609
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: have this guy as his defensive coordinator moving forward, and

610
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: when you look at the decisions that are being made

611
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: from the top coming down, that that is what plays

612
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: the bigger part in it for me. All Right, everything

613
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: else happened. We lasted the division, but how did we

614
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: look going into last place? It has been so many

615
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: issues from from day one. I mean there's a lot

616
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: of issues. You guys are there's a lot of issues.

617
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this whole thing is it's strawberries

618
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: and cherries and everything's going great. It's not. But I

619
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: think this guy deserves one more goal around mentioning it

620
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: and overall us and overreacha if if if you're looking

621
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: at records right now, first year head coaches overall, I

622
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: mean he's only two games back. It's two games back there,

623
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: that's it, only two six and seven besides the Browns,

624
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: because I mean it looks the Fancy's got an amazing

625
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: job over there and they're balling right now. So besides

626
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: the Browns, I mean, he's right there with all the

627
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: first head year head coaches. He's right there. Eight four

628
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: and nine, four and nine. Don't let don't don't don't

629
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: let Church out of Twitter. People trying to get on

630
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 1: us talking about what we said Mike McCarthy shouldn't come

631
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: back next year. That ain't what we said. Year record

632
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: trying as bad as everyone else's. That's all I'm saying.

633
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: Those other those other three head coaches, two of the

634
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: three go be in the playoffs, Okay, two or three

635
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: go being the playoffs, and the other one will just

636
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: four forgot my rule because Matt rules for my bat

637
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Matt Rule, Oh, Matt Rule. Okay, and you know what

638
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: that rules team, Matt Rules team has performed a lot better.

639
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I tell you what give me

640
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: Matt Rule. Matt Rule has done a better head coaching

641
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: job than Mike McCarthy has. Okay, the same record. That

642
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: ain't all about the record. Say it ain't about the record.

643
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: That's all You've been suspected to be one of the

644
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: worst teams in league. Carolina supeosed to be one of

645
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league. Okay, one of the worst.

646
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: They beat Arizona. They beat the breaks off Arizona. Arizona came,

647
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: beat the breaks off the stop stop it, we gotta

648
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: take a break here. So they beat Arizona. So that

649
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: means he's doing a better job than McCarthy. He is

650
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: got the same record. They got the same church. Church, Church,

651
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: you take Church. They had their quarterback whin, they got

652
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: their offensive line. What whatever, you're taking this break, Church,

653
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take your break, so you have to stop

654
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: taking these als. Okay, I'm gonna take this breaks. I

655
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: just don't believe y'all. Matt rules McCarthy. That's what I'm

656
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: saying it. That's blasphem, that ain't it. Let's just talking crazy.

702
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,960

705
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: three point favorites by the way, in this football game. Okay,

706
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: it's a rough season for the Dallas Cowboys. It's been

707
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: a rough year for Barry Church, who made a bet

708
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: with Danny McCray about the Cowboys if you went in

709
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: the NFCC now owes hidding Nick and Sam's because the

710
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: slim chance of that happening. Darren Woodson, who won three

711
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys, recently said this about

712
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: the team, and I want to get your take on this.

713
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: I'll start with you, mccraig. Here's what Darren had to say.

714
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: The way they play it makes the competitor in you cringe.

715
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: It was my job to hit people, to punish quarterbacks,

716
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: to have my teammates back. But these guys, I don't know.

717
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: They're helping up runners, giving love taps on helmets after

718
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: the game. Sure, it's a brotherhood, but between the lines,

719
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: where's the animosity. We just don't see anger in this

720
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: defense is veins. We see tackling like they're playing flag football.

721
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: That's why all season they have been gashed. He goes

722
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: on to say, our old special teams coach Joe Avazano

723
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: ud say, sometimes you eat the bears. Sometimes the Bear

724
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: eats you at safety. You might not always win the

725
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: physical battle, but make no mistake, isn't a physical football.

726
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: This isn't the football physical football team. If you're out man,

727
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: you have to win the mental battles. You don't do

728
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: either of those. You get run over on one play,

729
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: that blowing a signent the next. That's where the bear

730
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: gets you. With this team, there's just too many mental errors,

731
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: just too much hero ball. Mccraig your thoughts. I'm gonna

732
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: keep this on short. I talked about this earlier when

733
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: I told you about how they looked against the Rams

734
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: when they were trying to defend the run they were

735
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: taking on all the blocks five yards deep. You've seen

736
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: them taking the run of the blow and that continue

737
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. And I have I

738
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: have my guests for the two guys to hear talking.

739
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: He's talking about it in those first two statements of

740
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: playing flag football and helping guys up and pattering him

741
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: on the helmet. I'm going with number twenty five and

742
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jayles Smith. I gotta I have to

743
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: have it in my mind that he watched those games

744
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: and he's seen that stuff happen and he's really talking

745
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: to them, but he just didn't want to say their

746
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: names because he's still going be around him. But those

747
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: are the two guys I think that he's talking about. Yeah,

748
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to agree one hundred percent with my

749
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: boy Woody out here. I mean, when it comes to

750
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: this defense, he hit the head. He hit the nail

751
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: right on the head with this one. I mean, I

752
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: agree with him when he says they're playing too much

753
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: hero ball. And we saw that the instant, specially as

754
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: I can't even speak right now, but we saw that

755
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: when they played Cincinnati, when Jalen hopped out of that

756
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: hole to try to go fill some other hole in

757
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: the running back ran right through where he was supposed

758
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: to be. That's called hero ball. That's not taking your

759
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: responsibility serious. And you're over there trying to do someone

760
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: else's job, trying to make every play, and you can't

761
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: do that. You gotta hold everyone accountable and you gotta

762
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: trust that your other team out out there is going

763
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: to do his job. When you spin out of holes

764
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: and you hop out of holes trying to make other

765
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: plays and trying to be instinctful like that, you're just

766
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: creating more problems for your defense, and we've seen too

767
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: many instances of that so far this season. So I

768
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: gotta agree with Woody on this one when he says

769
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: they're they're just playing hero ball and they're playing flag

770
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: football out there, and that's just not a winning formula

771
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: when you want this where you want this defense to be.

772
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: I forgot about that spin move. I forgot about to spend. Yeah,

773
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: I do, but I remember the hero ball that got

774
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: us in trouble against Baltimore where l V going the

775
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: wrong way as well. He knew his assignment and he

776
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: still try to go track down something that wasn't his job.

777
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: So I mean, like I said, Darren Wilson was watching

778
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: the same game we're watching, and he's been critical of

779
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: these guys. And you know, if anybody deserves to be

780
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: critical of the Cowboys defense is him because he's he

781
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: stood out there, He's earned it. He's a three times

782
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, So if it's coming from him, it's

783
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: something to it, all right. Church raised another question here

784
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: that that we need to get into here on the

785
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: players line, and that is should the Cowboys bring Andy

786
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: Dalton back next year as a quarterback with this team.

787
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I'll let you go ahead into that church. Since you raised,

788
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let y'all already know where I stand on this.

789
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: Exactly where I stand on this, So go ahead, ba y'all, y'all,

790
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: that's exactly where I stand on this. I know you you.

791
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: They should let him go, and then they should have

792
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: double G come back in here and be the second quarterback,

793
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: and then the Ducie should still be third. All right,

794
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: So if you're talking, I should be the third three quarterback.

795
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: Are you gonna bring in Justin Fields? You? Oh? Yeah,

796
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: Justin Justin Fields will be a thirteen quarterback. No all seriousness,

797
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: and in all seriousness, I think they should bring Andy

798
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: Dalton back next year so they can have a serviceable

799
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: guy one because as we sit here and as we

800
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: talk about each week, we have no idea what's gonna

801
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: happen with Dak Prescott. So you are going to need

802
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: a veteran guy out there. You do not want to

803
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: go into the off season with just Gilbert being your

804
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: quarter of Gilbert and the duty being the quarterbacks on

805
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: your roster. So bring Andy Dalton back. Make sure you

806
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: have a guy that's serviceable because you'll be fixing your

807
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: offensive line and hopefully next year they'll be able to

808
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: do something more. But yes, Andy Dalton should be back

809
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: next year. Well one, go ahead, go ahead and do

810
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, I'll finish it up. I don't personally, I

811
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: don't see Andy Dalton back here because I think there

812
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: will be jobs starting jobs that Andy Dalton can possibly

813
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: compete with four across this league. Just looking at teams

814
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: that could be in need of a quarterback or have

815
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: some quarterback job competitions next year in New England, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit,

816
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Sampa Bay. Just a few teams that could

817
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: and if i'm Andy Dalton that come back here. They

818
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: signed Dak Prescott to a long term deal. I know

819
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: what I'm at. I'm sitting here as a guy who's

820
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: just holding a clipboard. Also, it costs you three million

821
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: dollars this year to sign Andy Dalton. He's about to

822
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: hit some incentives that could take him up to four

823
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: to five million dollars. If you signed Dak Prescott to

824
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: this deal. If the Cowboys go out and make the

825
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: kind of changes that we believe they will to fix

826
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: their defense, I don't know if you can invest three

827
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: million dollars and a guy who may not play in

828
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: terms of your backup. That's where I think that Garrett

829
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: Gilbert and Ben de Nucci are going to come and

830
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: to play here. Dak Prescott's deal here because Deshaun Watson

831
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: got forty million, I'm asking for forty million minimum. If

832
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm Dak Prescott's agent, Todd France. It's just not gonna

833
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: be a lot of money left around. So I just

834
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: don't think they gonna have the luxury to pay the

835
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: quarterback the way they have it passed. Go ahead, Church, Yeah,

836
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: I think you're completely right about that. That's why I

837
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: think Andy Dalton won't be back next year is because

838
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think he'll be looking to have a

839
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: job to start somewhere. I think his initial thing coming

840
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: down here was, you know, I'm gonna take a year off,

841
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my body right, and I'll just be

842
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: this backup quarterback. And it didn't happen that way. He

843
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: ended up getting thrust into the fire and he's played

844
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: okay throughout this season. But I think he's gonna look

845
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: for an opportunity to either get a starting job or

846
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: at least compete for a starting job. And another reason

847
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: you said is because you know the pay to pay.

848
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: It will be just a little bit too much to

849
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: pay a backup quarterback the money that I think he's

850
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: gonna want this off season. But I'm not gonna sit

851
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: here and let d mac disrespect DOUBLEG like that. All right, serviceable?

852
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: We saw what happened when DOUBLEG was able to come

853
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: in here against Pittsburgh, one of the best defenses in

854
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: the National Football LAG. He was more than serviceable. He

855
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: took them all the way down to the wire. And now, look,

856
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: I think DOUBLEG will be a lot cheaper, and I

857
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: think he'd be the better. She has a backup going

858
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: up next year, whether it be a backup to Dak

859
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: Prescott or whether it be a backup to one of

860
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks in the draft. Either way, I think

861
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: we should bring Double G back as a backup. Let

862
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton go ahead and do what he does. Hello,

863
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: So so you based us off Pittsburgh. Now have you

864
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: watched Pittsburgh the last few weeks. That's the only opted game,

865
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: the only opportunity they gave him, the opportunity they gave say,

866
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: I know, ys, the second you're talking before that Dallas game,

867
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: That's all I heard was Pittsburgh defense been to do this,

868
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is about to do that. Now we're talking about

869
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: all did you see? Now? Listen, listen, we thought Pittsburgh

870
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: was something that they're not and they've been short for

871
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. And like I'm I'm not saying

872
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 1: two weeks don't take away the whole season. No, listen,

873
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm not listening. I'm not saying that double double G

874
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: is bad. I think he went out there and he

875
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 1: did a good job in one game. And I say

876
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: this about Andy Dalton, Andy dont they started for nobody

877
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: next year? Y'all can say what y'all want to, Okay,

878
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't listen. If you are a GM and you're

879
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: looking for a starting quarterback and you end up with

880
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, you have made a mistake. He should be

881
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. That is what he should be, and

882
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: he should be here and being a backup quarterback. How

883
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: much you pay shop how much you play Sean leaders

884
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: year to not play? All right, Well, you can pay

885
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton three You can find a way to pay

886
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: Andy dump three million dollars to be the backup quarterback.

887
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: And who knows? We thought Andy Daltons gonna get no

888
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: pt this year. He's starting. Dak Prescott has been out

889
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: since the beginning of the season, so you never know

890
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. The game of football is one of

891
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: those sports to where you have no idea what's going on.

892
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: And they are lucky to have Andy Dalton as a

893
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: back of quarterback this year, even though Church thinks double

894
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: G would be better. Lucky Jackson Jacksonville tried to get

895
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton in this past offseason with COVID. Andy said

896
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: he didn't want to make the move with his family.

897
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: Jay Gruten's just former coordinator Cincinnati. They had Mike Glennon

898
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: out there starting Gardner Gardner Mint you bench, and I

899
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna go for a quarterback as well. So this,

900
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, does Jacksonville want to invest in Andy Dalton,

901
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: pay him? You know, let's say they want to pay

902
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: him starter money of you know, twelve fifteen million for

903
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: one season and knowing that, you know they're gonna bring

904
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: in someone else. If you're Andy Dalton, you've got an

905
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to make that kind of cash. And you got

906
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: to coordinated whose offense. You know, I think you're gonna

907
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: have to think about it. You know, if Bill Belichick

908
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, that was another team that was linked

909
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: to him, if they come and offer this guy, you know,

910
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: ten plus million dollars, and even if you don't guarantee

911
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: the starting job, I think you got to think about that.

912
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: If you're Andy Dalton versus sitting around here with the

913
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys and't trying to take around here in three, four

914
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: or five million bucks. I do believe in this quarterback

915
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: star of league that this guy can get paid this

916
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of money. I mean, remember the Bears game. Mike

917
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: Glennon eighteen million dollars wouldn't either. So it's not gonna

918
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: be crazy to say Andy Dalton is not gonna be

919
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: able to go get a job the GM. Still there

920
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: is that GM still working for the Bears. Yes, he'll

921
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: be fired right, still, right, let's ryan past got there

922
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty fifteen when I came back to the Cowboys,

923
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you he's on his last strike, all right,

924
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see and listen. Another bet, Andy

925
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: Dalton will not be starting for nobody next year. He

926
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: will not be starting for the Patriots. He would not

927
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: be starting for the Jacksonville Jaguars and I'm willing to

928
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: put something on it. You are you willing to go

929
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: for another bet? Neuis are you talking about five rifle?

930
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: It is sixteen after it's sixteen after we are over
