You know the 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.320 team is Heckma Harrison, former Cowboys safety Barry Church Scruggs. 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.320 We are onto Week two as the Cowboys get ready 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.240 for the home opener Jerry World against the New Orleans Saints. 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:52.280 So the Saints went out there whooping up on Carolina. Yes, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:58.800 the man's name Bryce, Bryce, She was the first one. 0:00:58.800 --> 0:00:59.840 I'd pick you gout, you know, get you. 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.880 A nobody's gonna cry for you. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.679 I feel bad for him from the standpoint. Is the 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.840 guy that they passed on you for. It's not just 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.960 playing well. He looks like the next type of the 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.480 next batchup quarterback star in the league. 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.920 That therein lies the problems like but that you. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.720 Know, I asked a question about those two and people 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.320 have made a reference to those two guys in their 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.759 draft class and it seems to me like one guy 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.080 fell to a better situation. 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.760 You know, when you think about c. J. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.000 Strauff going to Houston, the offensive line is there, the 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.679 defense is obviously there. And I'm not saying that Bryce 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.120 Young was in that system he'd have more success, but 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.040 he sure would have more weapons. And so, I mean, 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.919 I think his struggle in Carolina is going to be documented. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.920 But I mean, offensive line wise, defense wise, they're just 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:49.640 a bad team. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.360 Yes, ugly, Yeah. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.920 It surely doesn't help out when you have the work 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.360 when you're the worst team in the league, but your 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.320 first round pick has been traded away. I mean, so 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.240 some of that is out of his control, firing a 0:01:59.240 --> 0:01:59.760 head coach. 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:06.840 But you know, fans don't kills, honey, Yoda do or 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:07.200 do not? 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:08.600 There is no t there is no. 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.920 Forty seven to ten is what the Saints beat the 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.360 Carolina Panthers by Saints coming in here. Dennis Allen's air 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.639 head coach LdB High School. So so yeah, fun, fun, 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.200 fun times there. I was out yesterday as you guys 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:31.280 did the show. I was in Cleveland. Let me say wow, 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.200 like in a good way for the atmosphere. It was 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.160 first off that it was my first Browns game there 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.120 since ninety five when I lived up there the w 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.880 W SO so yeah, it was old stadium. Belichick was 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.800 a coach. So my first man, we parked next to 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.760 some people. Immediately, Man, hey have some food. Okay, don't mind, you. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.600 Know if you insist. Nobody called me out roker this time. Okay, 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:56.800 call me out roker. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.760 But my brother ain't good and they just they're just 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:06.320 good fans. Man, cowboy fans can't appreciate the down trottenness 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.960 of this franchise. They've not won a championship since nineteen 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.560 sixty four. There was no Super Bowl nineteen sixty four. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.000 Jim Brown was on the team in nineteen six. Jim 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.840 Brown has passed away. I mean this is hard time. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.359 I mean, Dusty Rose at hard time leveland Brown a 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.440 hard time right going, you know, winless seasons. But they 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.760 are there, bro, They are there, and they hung in 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.840 there as long as they could, and then they just 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.000 realized that, Bro, it's time to beat this traffic. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.520 They seen this song before, seeing this dance, before. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.760 They booed him at halftime, they were all on Deshaun Watson. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.920 They're like, man, this guy's now worth the two hundred 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.120 and thirty million dollars is guarantee. I mean they were 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.560 on them. You know when when you lose them brilliant Trump, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.600 you trouble. But the Cowboys were that good man that 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.720 they had them. I mean you think about it, the 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.880 Cowboy fans had them bowing them in. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.120 There was fighting once again. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.160 Cowboy, Well, how did they get all these tickets? 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.840 Stars and everywhere everywhere? 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.040 I mean, man, my hotel, hotel full up. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.320 And then it was wild to see Cowboy fan with 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.040 Cleveland fan. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.360 You're married together and everything. I mean, this is they 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.000 do they do. They are strong, they are strong. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.960 I just kind of just shook my head one more time, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.080 like even here, even here in a place where there's 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.000 really two types of fans in Northeast Ohio, the Browns 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.080 fans and Sea what ye, but Cowboy. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.800 Fan to roll up on it Northeast High like that, man, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:33.279 like wow? 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.040 I mean that should like for you, as a as 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.320 a former player, which stadium that you would go to, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.800 whether it be in the NFC East, just say NFC 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.040 East that you would go and they would have always 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.560 the most Cowboy fans. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.560 Now, I would have to say it was either Washington, Washington. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.560 They was always house. And then we were representing New 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.240 York as well. It was kind of a fifty fifty. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.440 But Washington, I mean the whole front, you know that 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.359 little bowl, not the upper bowl, but the whole bottom bowl, 0:04:58.960 --> 0:04:59.800 all over the place. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:00.920 They traveled up there. 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.159 Heck, last time I went up there, Man Ubers would 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.560 come up there drop folks, so if a bunch of 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.719 cowboy jerseys, and then they were tailgating with the Washington 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:08.200 fans too. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.799 Loved well, there was like a family. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.760 It's just like wow, family showed up there. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.240 Then the most disrespectful thing I ever saw at the well, 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.320 not one of the years I went up there. John 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.080 Wall was still playing for for the Washington Wizards this 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:28.680 he was the star of the team. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.520 You know, they bring the bring the dude down there 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:32.000 for the game. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.359 They show up in the MM Smith jersey. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.360 Lebron did the same thing. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.920 Didn't but but you are on okay, you the Washington. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:43.200 Started the city. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.720 They make you a guest and you show up in 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.560 your bro I mean we was laughing on the sideline. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.800 Bryce Harper could not go to an Eagles game wearing 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.640 a cowboy jersey, even though he grew up a cowboy fan. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:55.080 Of Vegas. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.640 Now you switched, but you can't do that there. They 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.320 will jump on you there. You know Jayleen her tried 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.400 to wear Houston Astros had don't do it right. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.520 They let him retired. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.240 We retired right when you're back home. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.960 You get this one, but not in d C. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.120 Flex on the sideline of the past. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.120 I was like, yeah, he was on our sideline. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.840 So what I mean? 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.160 Could you imagine Dirk showing up at a Cowboy game 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.360 when he was the when he was the math star 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:28.360 with a dog on Washington, Jersey right right? 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:28.720 I mean. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.080 Church, how would you have felt if you saw your disrespect? 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.240 We brought you you. So they usually come to the 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.920 locker room before them. Good luck out there. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.440 Yeah, man disrespected. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.400 That's a d C man. It was, it was. It 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.120 was rough like that. But my takeaway. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.719 I just want to start right here, was was Mike 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:57.480 McCarthy is not getting enough credit for what transpired there. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.919 Dak gets his contract for the game, handles it fine, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.479 Everyone's happy for him, so that drama is put to bed. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.000 But Mike lived with that all off season long. Never 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.120 said one thing that besmirts the player or the organization. 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.800 He stayed above it, which I think has to have 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.600 mad respect in the lock for how he handled CD 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.000 and how he handled that. Its busy. He said everything right. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.440 The two rookies, I was very concerned about them. Heck, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:31.000 I mentioned it, those rookie offensive linemen against the defensive 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.040 player of the year A Miles Garrett. They did give 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.520 guidance help. You didn't notice them. Dak Prescott was able 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.760 to get his job done. The run game was able 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.200 to do what they needed to do. I'm just looking 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.520 at the new defense and what Mike Zimmer put in 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:45.480 there that he was. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.360 Able to do his job. They were owned. Deshaun Watson 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.760 looked like a shell of himself. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.240 Just to he looks like a bust at this point 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.560 in time for the Cleveland Browns special teams finally returned 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.600 to Tuchdam. I mean all three phases they dominated, But 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:02.960 we're not hearing. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.120 About Mike McCarthy as a head coach. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.880 To me, I come in here, I'm just like and 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.080 I didn't talk to Jerry after the game. Jerry, with 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.400 all due respect forget Michael Parsons, When are you gonna 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:15.440 take care of your head coach? 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.240 Because he has this locker room playing for him. He's 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.160 got everyone on the same page. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.400 The way they praised Dak afterwards, that they were these 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.800 guys were all for him, So there's no divide there. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.840 He's creating church. You can speak to this. He's created 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.280 a locker room where everybody is there. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.599 You were in a locker room where you know, not 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.800 everybody felt the same way about the quarterback as Drew 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.840 bloodsoe let that let us all know over the weekend. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.800 So what he's created. Hecma, Barry. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.320 If this guy is not here next year, I don't 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.160 know where they go because he's done the heck of 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.559 a job. And Game one has used to be a 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.559 Jason Garrett special when they would have got beat, they 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:54.319 did not get beat. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.400 They came out there whooped that trick man. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.000 I want to stop him. I'll tell you what. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.560 You the smile on your face with Jerry when when 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.560 Dak's contract was announcing, You're standing there. I'm like, look 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.559 at that smile. Man, he like he already. You should 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.640 have heard it on the players now first you think, right, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:22.200 smile says it all. Not to change the subject, but 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.800 I gotta tell you it has a great That was 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.800 a great picture. You standing next to Jerry and that 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.240 smile on your face. But you're right, man, I think 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.680 it all three phases of the game. As you mentioned, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:35.040 the Cowboys, you know, came out and they played, uh 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.760 not like they were having to get into a rhythm. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.000 You know, first game on the season. You're used to 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.120 teams kind of like a warm up period because this 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.480 is like a preseason game for all intensive purposes. Starters 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.640 going on exactly, so this is this is you getting 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.840 a rhythm. But these guys had no rust to knock off. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.480 And the thing that I was most proud of of, man, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.079 is in that first half. You you have a twenty 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.840 to three league and we've seen this team, We've seen 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.280 previous coaches before blow a seventeen point lead, all right, 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.520 because what are you doing? 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:05.839 You're trying to do too much. 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.200 And I thought that for Mike McCarthy, because this was 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.360 truly a game that could have been easily a forty 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.160 burger if you just keep your foot on the gas 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.839 and keep pressing them but protecting that lead. In his 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.560 interview yesterday with the media, he said something I thought 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.880 that was very important. He said, you know, you know 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.840 I maintained the offense. I handled the offense so on 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.520 the other side of the defense. I got to have 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.040 somebody that really obviously I'm paraphrasing what he said, have 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.280 somebody that can also operate as a head coach and 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:34.920 having a guy like Dan Quinn. 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.160 And now you see what I'm saying. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:42.160 When you have those kinds of defensive coordinators and guys 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.360 that can handle their business, and you can do what 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.040 you need to do as far as making sure I 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.080 protect this defense as well, you know, not going out 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.319 here and airing it out. I keep the ball on 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.960 the ground. And look, the second half left a lot 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.160 to be desired. I mean, it was really a tail 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.720 of two halves. But to me, I saw Mike McCarthy 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.040 said I'm gonna protect this lead at all costs. But man, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.600 Mike was in his bag his play calling. He did 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.360 not allow Dak to put the ball in harm's way. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.520 And it to me is like, Okay, sometimes you can 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.360 go out there because your back is against the wall 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.280 and try and do too much right out the back. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.240 He didn't do that. He protected his quarterback, he protected 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.599 his offense. He played everything within the structure that he 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.559 said he was going to do it and in the end, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.199 getting this thirty three to seventeen win is just indicative 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.640 of him and the kind of coach that he is. 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.880 Yeah, Mike McCarthy, he's a hell of a coach. I 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.440 mean we could just call Spades Bade. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.880 The man knows how to get the locker room all 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.240 behind him in one units. And like you just said, 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.920 everybody's playing like their hairs on fire, and everybody's playing 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.000 for one another, and you love to see it. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.560 There was no selfishness in there. You know, guys, you 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.040 don't slack. You know, before periods you would see guys, Oh, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.760 I gotta make this out. I gotta go up the field. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:50.600 I gotta get this guy. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.520 Everybody was in their lanes where they were supposed to play, 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.559 playing team, whether it's defense, offense, special teams. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.040 It was a combined victory out there. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.480 So to me, Mike McCarthy deserves a ton of credit, 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.160 not only forgetting this team to go out there and play, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.080 because like you said, in the past, we've seen teams 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.240 come out there and either be sleepwalking or just not 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:06.800 prepared for. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:07.400 The first game. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.160 His team as a total was ready and they went 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:11.960 out there and they gave it to the Cleveland Browns. Now, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.520 there's some things here and there that you know, they 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.360 got to clean up once again. The penalties were a 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.840 little bit high. He had eleven penalties out there. You'd 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.079 like to see this team get better all third down. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.280 I think they were four or fourteen all third down, 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:23.640 So you'd like to see this team get a little 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.000 bit better. But Dak didn't turn the ball over. The 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.720 quarterback was, you know, basically protected the entire game. There 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.480 was three sacks, but it was kind of just you know, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.320 for the most part of the time. For the most 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.320 part of the game, Dak was cool, com and collected 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:35.319 throughout the entire thing. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:36.000 Now, when we. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.360 Talk about extending and getting my man in here long term, 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.640 I still think there's some questions that you know, my 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.880 man needs to needs to answer, and preferably it's we're 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.400 not gonna be able to see it now, but in 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.760 the postseason we need to see those questions be answered. 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.200 Still, in my opinion, we. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.200 Understand that this man is a hell of us coach. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.680 During the regular season, three straight seasons with twelve plus victories, 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.400 That's that's not an easy feat. So I don't want 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.079 to take anything away from him when it comes to that. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.800 But when it comes to the playoff performances. We all understand, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.800 we've we've been around this organization a long time. It's 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.440 what you do in the postseason that that's all that 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:08.920 really matters when it comes to the Star. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.920 So we've spoken to this before here on the show. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.880 You talk about the playoffs. Mike is dying for the 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.840 sins of other people as well. And that's a part 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.240 of the problem is it all gets lumped together, and 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.880 you know, some ways the owner kind of gets off 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.240 scott free, even though he's been here for all of it. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.800 But we blame everything on that this this. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.400 One head coach. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.600 Like now, I guess what Bill had the issues here, 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.320 Jason had the issues here, Wade had It's it's been 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.880 an organizational problem for a while. And that's what I 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.280 kind of called out last year, say hey, look, you know, yes, Mike, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.599 Mike is the coach here, but dog gone it. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.760 After a while. We got thirty years a proof it 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:47.439 didn't matter. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:48.960 Who you bring in here. We keep seeing the same 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.800 old thing. And at some point in time when the 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:56.680 playoffs come around, if I were a player and maybe 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.320 Dak should go down here and call Jason Kidd and 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.320 Dirk Ebitt because they all like those guys in twenty 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.480 eleven went to Mark keep saying shut up, don't say 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.320 anything nothing. Why are you adding fuels to the fire. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.280 I think this is no no. How about you just 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.760 say nothing, say nothing. Did you know what Mark said 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.640 last year during the run to get mass. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.240 Mads of the final nothing nothing. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.320 I'd love to see just one time when Jerry and 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.800 Stevens said nothing, that they had to say anything at all. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.040 Just say, you know, I've got belief in our head, coach, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.880 got belief in our players that we can go where 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.360 we want to go. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.160 You say that, I've just said okay, So heckma, you're correct. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.440 And so since you've been doing it your way for 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.720 thirty years now and you keep finding yourself in the 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.280 same land of disappointment, why not change it up and 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.840 just be the dude who just you know what, Hey, guys, 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.080 I'm gonna shock all of you. I'm gonna zip it. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.800 I'm just gonna zip it and watch it. I'm gonna 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.080 I will talk to you after our final game. Boy, 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.920 wouldn't that be a great challenge? Because I'll tell you this, heckma. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.560 It was the first round series in twenty eleven when 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.920 the MAVs played Portland. Everyone was picking the MAVs to 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.160 get upset, even though they were the favorite team. And 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.560 they went in had like a twenty point lead against 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.680 the Blazers up there in Portland. I was there and 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.280 Brandon roy and went off in the markets. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.840 All they came back and. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.680 It was some tough calls, and Cuban was outside the 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:23.240 locker room. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.280 He was hot, and boy, you know we had that 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:26.840 mic trick hot. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:28.400 What did you say that? 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:33.240 Yeah, come on, were here and he got coaches, no, no, no, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.720 and he didn't he didn't. I guess he listened to 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.120 the play, but he listened to the play, but he 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.160 didn't do it. And then after that it was smooth saying. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.000 They ended up winning that series, of course, and everything 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.920 else was was was amazing. But I would love to 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.600 see Jerry if they can get back to the just 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.040 back to your point about the postseason. Hey man, why 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.720 don't you just do your part and be quiet and 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.040 let the players and let the coaches do with things. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.480 He is Look, Jerry is not one of the roonies. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.840 He is not you go. I mean he didn't operate 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:02.160 like that. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.800 I mean there's several there are several teams in the 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.120 NFL that you wouldn't have any clue who ownership is 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.880 because they don't talk. You see him in the grocery store, 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.320 wouldn't even know you're standing next to him. Jerry Jones 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.160 is he is. He is the polarizing one. He is 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.920 the one that everybody knows is the ring leader. I 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.040 don't know where you were at ten o'clock Eastern Standard 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.000 time when the news came out that Dak got the contract. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.840 Was nine, your time, will eleven whatever. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.440 It was working at the hotel gym. But when we 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.560 got to the stadium, we all waited till we all 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.240 waited for him to come out the locker room. But 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.280 there's Jerry knows exactly what he's doing. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.120 Everybody's getting ready to see the Week one games coming 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.440 on at twelve o'clock and then newsflash, Dak signs his 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.680 deal and then everything ships from opening weekend to Jerry 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:52.800 Jones the star. But I'm saying that has been his 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.400 mo for years. He's done that with players contracts, he's 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.320 done that with schedule announcements. That is who he is 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.480 and it's not gonna change now. And the thing is, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.880 when you have a team, these guys have to have 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.359 thick skin when it relates to the media. Barry Church, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.399 you know better than anybody that you have to and 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:11.919 you know that it's going to be talked because you 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.399 have an owner that's going to be out front the coach. 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.760 He does its own television. I mean, he does his 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.240 own radio show. Jerry does. How many owners and then 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.960 have their own radio show. So look, the things that 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.520 people complain about about Jerry and all that, just that 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.280 just asks more fuel to the fire because that makes 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.719 him who he is. And this team is going to 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.320 have to win in spite of all of that. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.120 And heck, I come back to this and I always say, 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.000 show me who's winning super Bowls operating like this? 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.719 Now, Clark Hunt's not doing it. 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.560 No, no, no, he's not. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.200 And I mean the luxury that the Hunt family has 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.359 is one patty, you know. I mean, you could do 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.320 it like that when you have some of the best 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:54.720 playing it matter. 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:57.760 He's the way equalize it when it comes down to 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.159 all of that. So I agree with you. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.520 And and for sometimes like you look at it's like, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.359 come on, do we have to do this one more time? 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.480 Like we're in the we're in the crux of it 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.399 right now talking about Mike McCarthy, like, this is a 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.119 guy that shouldn't have to sing for his meal. No, 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.280 this is a guy that's shown you And if he's 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.199 paying for the sins of other coaches, when does that 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.440 stop on his watch? 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.520 Because he is a championship level coach. 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.160 You saw what Sean Payton did this year last week? Right, yeah, Okay, 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:25.719 Sean Payton got his quarterback. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:27.120 Didn't look good. 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.919 You start looking at Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy, you 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:35.440 start putting it side to side together. Mike is held 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.720 one way and Sean Payton has looked at as his 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.840 genius in the lab the other way. What's sewn done 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.959 since since Drew Brees exited the building? 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:44.680 Nothing? 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.480 Nothing, making eighteen million right now? 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.840 And I like Sean, but there's this perception that Sean 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.280 is so much better than Mike. 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.880 McCarthy without without people looking at the record to didn't 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:54.960 realize that they're the same. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.160 And people saying, well, you know, McCarthy had Aaron Rodgers, 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.480 he had Brett Farv and I go by can say this, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.199 show me the great NFL coach in the Hall of 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.560 Fame that had a bum quarterback there's only one dude 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.160 where you can say, hey man, you had some okay 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:08.280 dudes that I can think of it as a Pro 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.120 Football Hall of Fame. That would be Joe Gibbs, who 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.480 won super Bowls with Joe, thisman, Jug Williams and Mark Rippin. 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.159 Other than that, everybody else pretty much rolland with a 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.480 dude who's got Hall of Fame number, Absolutely Tom Landry Chuck, No, 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.439 Don Shula.

So that was the cool customer 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.800 we spoke about, and the other cool customer I was 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:31.359 talking about with Tyler you left tackle. 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:33.800 He was cool old customer. Man. 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:37.320 What an outstanding day for the rookie unforced. I hadn't 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:38.880 get a chance to talk to him in the locker room. 0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:40.639 We had to get over to get CD LAMB. But 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.760 what a great performance for him as a rookie at 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.280 Carnor BB and he was praised by Tyler Smith and 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:48.199 Dak Prescott as well. 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.000 So we gave out game balls yesterday on the players lounge, 0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:53.280 and I gave a game ball to my email brother 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:57.840 Cooper BB. Yeah, that's that's what I represented. 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:02.520 You know what, Look, the fact that we were not 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:08.440 talking about them seeks volumes for the players, speaks volumes 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.879 for the coaching staff, you know, O line coaches and 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:13.080 Mike McCarthy as well. 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:17.040 As calling the plays. So yeah, a lot of credit. 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:19.600 Which is now I come back to you Bury Church 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:21.960 as we spoke about last segment right now, other players, 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.200 I was brought to you by Aristocrat Gaming. You said, 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:26.840 let Mike play it out. You said you had no 0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.720 problem with it. You're a former player. Yeah, and you 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:31.640 know what it's like to go in on the final 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:33.080 year of a deal having to sing. 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.640 For your supper? Is it not disrespectful? 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.639 Mike McCarthy, who's only had one head coach in this 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.159 league win more games than him in the regular season 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.439 the last three years won Mike McCarthy, who came in here, 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:47.520 took over for Jason Garrett's mess and has done a 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.400 better job than Jason did in ten years. 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.199 Is it not disrespectful? 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.520 A dude who's like number one, seventeen or eighteen on 0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:54.800 all sign wins, little. 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:59.240 Playoff records, Garrett and Mike being just with the Cowboys 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.040 head coach Mike with Jason's ten years here, I. 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:03.240 Don't know well as of right now. 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:04.920 Okay, they're around the same. 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:07.720 I would assume, right it's probably win Law, you know, 0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:09.640 being a Cowboy, I would assume they're around the same. 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:11.560 Chris Ban you can correct me. You can go through 0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:12.760 the handy Danny. 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:17.040 But back to your question, I would say, if I'm Mike, 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:19.760 if that, if I'm big Mike, yes, I would see 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.560 that is being disrespectful because if I'm a player, I'm 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:24.520 going out there, I'm risking injury. Even though he's not 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.280 risking injury. If I'm a player going out there, I 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.800 want security just like everybody else out there. So yes, 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:32.320 I would say that that would be disrespectful if I'm McCarthy. 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.320 But I also understand it from the other point of 0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:36.080 view when you talk about mister Jones in the front 0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:36.640 of office. 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.080 You know the past three years, Yes, you've. 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:42.240 Always gotten us into contention, always gotten us into the playoffs, 0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:43.480 and that's how you started. 0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:44.919 You g's how you get to the balls, to get 0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:45.879 to the playoffs to begin with. 0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.719 So we understand regular season, you bring us an opportunity 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:51.680 to at least get to the tournament, and that's all 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.000 you can ask for in the regular season. But when 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.240 we get to the second, when we get to the playoffs, 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:58.760 that's when we have some issues. Like going into that 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.440 Green Bay game that might have been the worst playoff 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:05.440 loss in Cowboys history. If I'm not mistaken, it could 0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:08.479 have been. And you were a big time fIF Oh 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:13.439 yeah that was bad to thirteen to three years. But 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:15.919 you're at home and you're supposed to take care of 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.520 business against a Jordan Love who was his first year starting, 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:20.680 and you got dismantled. 0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:22.639 Now I'm not putting it everything square on you. 0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:24.480 But as a head coach, you're you're the umbrella for 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.160 the whole entire team off from the corner of the defense, 0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:27.159 quar or whatever the case may be. 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:28.919 You're the umbrella there. You're gonna take. You know, you're 0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:29.600 gonna take the shrine. 0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:34.159 So to me, after that playoff performance and then to 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.479 come in here week one, you did get the job done. 0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.480 I still have questions that need to be answered, especially when. 0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:40.240 You get to the postseason. 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.880 And I agree with what you're saying because I think 0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.480 that is the moment that resonates with you as a 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.720 former player and as fans. You're like, how could you 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.640 not be prepared for that moment? Because you're at home, 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:56.399 the records spoke for itself, your home record, and you 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.800 come in and you just did not look ready in 0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.280 that instance. And I think that that's the one thing 0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:04.600 that you've heard. Jerry continued to repeat about the Green 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:07.000 Bay loss, like it just it resonated with him that 0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.400 the team wasn't ready. I'm just gonna say this, man. 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.959 Obviously I don't have any you know, antidotal accounts as 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.000 a player or anything like that, but I will say, 0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.000 you know, when my uncle was coaching for the Miami Dolphins. 0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.200 This is Don Shuler's last season. This was ninety five 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:23.320 ninety six, and those coaches were on edge because they 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:25.720 knew like he could be gone at any second, and 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:28.080 hazinga all the things that they were going on at 0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:31.880 that time. And they lose in the playoffs and he 0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:37.000 hears about being fired on ESPN, not from ownership, you know, 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.280 and like the families are involved in this too, and 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:43.560 so big Mike is doing his job not only for himself, 0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.160 but also for those coaches that are on his staff. 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.199 And to me, the job that they've done and what 0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:51.320 they've poured into this organization and these players that what 0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:53.280 they've been able to do with the talent that they have, 0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.320 it says to me that they shouldn't even be in 0:27:56.359 --> 0:28:00.200 this situation where they're having to feel disrespected. Look, Mike 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.560 is going to have to prove it right. The coaching 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:05.680 salary is not tied to the salary cap. They could 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.600 do this at any time, at any moment. To me, 0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.600 if you have a team that's going out performing like this, 0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.840 say they do it again, you have a hot, high 0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.520 caliber performance. You go into Baltimore. As it continues to go. 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.440 You see this team responding and there's no drop off. 0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:22.320 You gotta take care of it because at the end 0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.000 of the day, at the end of the day, what 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.359 you need is the regular season to even prepare for 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:29.040 the postseason. 0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.520 But that's been the same thing for the past three seasons, 0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:35.080 right being successful during the regular season, having these runs, 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:37.920 and then getting to the performance. Out of those four 0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:41.240 playoff games, there was one that that team looked prepared 0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:43.080 for the Tampa Bay game. 0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.760 Yeah, San Francisco the first one, they didn't look good. 0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.920 They got smacked fourteen oh in the first one. 0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:50.640 And then you look at you look at the second 0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:51.920 playoff game against San Francisco. 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:53.160 Did they look prepared in that game? 0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:54.240 Green Bay? 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:55.600 Did they look prepared in that game? 0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:57.640 So Tampa Bay, to be was the only one where 0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.280 they were in the postseason and they came out ready 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:00.640 to roll. 0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:02.720 And that's the question that needs to be solved. We 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:04.240 know what the regular season is. 0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:06.520 He's gonna give you twelve victories, so he's gonna have 0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.680 his team ready for the role. But has he given 0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:11.680 any evidence, time, proof of consistency that when you get 0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.400 to that playoff round that that team is gonna. 0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:16.080 Come out ready to roll. So now this is this 0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.520 is this is now. To me, what I'm hearing is 0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:20.600 a trust issue in the biggest moments. 0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:22.400 I think that's That's what the question that we've all 0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:25.040 been to win McCarthy is the postseason. 0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:26.320 So he's one in three. A's a head coach. 0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.480 Okay, he's won in three with the Cowboys, one and 0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.400 three of the Cowboys, okay. Jason Garrett was two and three. 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:37.320 Jake Carret like ten years to do this. I didn't 0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:46.600 lies this context. I spent a lot of time living 0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:50.040 in North Carolina, and when I got there, there was 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.760 no pro sports in North Carolina. Was college basketball was 0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:56.840 the thing for years. It was all about Dean Smith 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:58.880 is really good, but he can't win the big one, 0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.640 and he finally did win it and ended up winning two. 0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:06.520 Mike Shewsky five straight final fours, could not win the 0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.560 national championship. Lot he got a monkey on your back. 0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.120 The great Tom Landry here next year's champion. That was 0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:14.480 what was hung around them forever in a day. And 0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:20.520 my thought process is, give me a guy that that 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:21.640 I believe can get it done. 0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:22.920 And Mike has won a Super Bowl. 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:24.960 Give me that kind of guy that is showing me 0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:29.240 he's consistently here, and at some point in time, I'm 0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.320 gonna bet that eventually his program and what he's doing 0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.200 can get us where we want to go. So many 0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.440 times I think people hit that eject button and it's 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.400 like Jay Wright and Villanova had a couple of things, 0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:41.760 but he was knocking on the door too. 0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:42.800 Finally got through. 0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.640 I was in Cleveland with Bill Belichick and I set 0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:49.400 the most dumb as nine thing when he got fired. 0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.640 This guy will never win a Super Bowl. I said 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:56.200 that and said, I bet you a rent payment. Yes 0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:57.040 I did. 0:30:57.120 --> 0:30:57.760 It's that glad. 0:30:57.760 --> 0:31:03.360 It ain't no takee. 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:07.239 And that man check for thirteen. My rent was back 0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:11.160 to know it was like six something, But yes, yes, 0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.880 what do we say the guy? The guy I don't 0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.240 know home back then in Cleveland. But we have seen 0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:21.880 where coaches can't get better. Here's a guy who has 0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.680 won a Super Bowl that I would say, give me this. 0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:27.320 There are a lot of people who thought Andy Reid 0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.800 when he left Philadelphia shouldn't go straight to go coach 0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:30.520 Kansas City. 0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:34.680 Wait, see it. The guy got there. Pete Carroll eventually 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.080 figured it out for himself. 0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:38.959 Man, And I'm not saying that Mike is going to 0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:42.760 do exactly what Belichick did or Tom Landry, but with 0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.719 what he's doing right now now, I would put my 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:49.000 chips there, and haven't seen some of these other great coaches. 0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:51.080 I would tell you, give me a guy who keeps 0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:55.520 knocking on this door, and I'll take my chances there 0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:59.080 before I go out here in this marketplace. And I 0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:01.040 don't know what I am going to get right now. 0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:03.040 So it's similar to the to the Dak Prescott approach 0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:05.000 if you look at it like that, if you know, 0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.160 would you rather be the consistent guy that's always gonna 0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:10.440 be there or the unknown right when you talk about 0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:12.200 going through the draft or free agency, and they chose 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.200 the consistent guy, which is Dak Prescott, in my opinion, 0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:16.600 was the right move. I think Mike McCarthy is one 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:18.120 heck of a coach. Let me put that out there 0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:20.200 to begin with. I believe he's one heck of a coach. 0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:22.640 The only thing I'm saying is I can see both sides. 0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.520 I can see why the Jones sides are saying, Hey, 0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:26.320 you know, we wanna, we wanna. We want to pump 0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:27.640 the brakes before we get you here a little bit 0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:29.480 long term, just to see if you can do with 0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:31.160 what we brought you in here to do, which is 0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:31.600 get us. 0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:32.680 Over the hump in the postseason. 0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:34.480 But I can also see why is this respectful for 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.360 McCarthy hit three straight twelve wins seasons. I'm always having 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.440 y'all in the postseasons. You know where's my where's my contract? 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:42.160 As well? I can see that from both sides. So heck, 0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:43.360 here's the wireless thing. 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.240 Okay, we just saw Mike McCarthy go dismantle Kevin Stevans, 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.479 set the fans. He said, a pick got contract extension, 0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:51.800 He got more security than the Mike McCarthy he did. 0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:53.480 Who would you rather have right now? 0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:55.040 Is right? 0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:58.640 I mean that's the part. 0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:00.720 I mean if you if you go around this league 0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:02.760 right now and you just say, hey, this is a 0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:03.680 better coach. 0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.160 Than him, ain't right. 0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.040 It ain't gon take long to call the role to 0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:11.280 get to get to him. You could say Mike Tomlin, 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.880 you could say Andy Reid. You could point to a 0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:18.520 Kyle Shanahan, but Kyle Shanahan has not won a Super Bowl. 0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:21.000 You may want to say a Sean McVay. But but 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.640 you get what I'm saying. Man, It's not many, dude, 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:27.120 John Harball in Baltimore. But there's not many guys that 0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:30.280 you're saying right now are better. And oh, by the way, 0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:34.400 he's calling his own plays. This team got better when 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.040 he became the player. Sorry about your boy, Kellen Moore. 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:40.760 He looked good Week one. Okay, he sure did, you know. 0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:43.240 But I mean going back to what you're saying, and 0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:46.080 I think the disrespect is really what you're talking about, 0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:48.720 because it looks to me like you're coach that is 0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.760 three straight twelve and five seasons. You shouldn't be in 0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.360 this predicament. But you go back history tells you like 0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.520 guys like Dan Reeves, former Cowboy player Dan Reeves that 0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:00.520 at Bronco, at the Broncos when they them to the 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:04.000 Super Bowl, but then they three three super Bowls. I mean, 0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:06.120 imagine that you get the three Super Bowls, you lose, 0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.680 and it's like they replace you with Mike Shanahan. 0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:10.480 Mike Shanahan comes in and. 0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:15.720 Wade Phillips hum Wade Wade, but Mike Shanahan also Wade 0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:19.319 Shanny was out the Wade. Okay, But but but I'm saying, 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.600 you get you're bringing another coach that leads them to 0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:22.160 a super Bowl. 0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:24.359 That's what I'm saying. 0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:27.640 Like, it's situations like that, where as an organization and 0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:30.719 you look at the history of it, you're like, look, 0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:32.640 if this guy can't get it done, I may be 0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:33.760 able to bring in another. 0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.240 Piece that advocate on the situation. 0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:38.759 Okay, that's the next level. Let me give you a 0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.839 little context on Dan Reeves. This is how he got 0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:45.200 himself fired. He drafted a dude from here named Tommy 0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.800 Maddox in the first round. John Elway was none too happy. 0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:51.360 And then you ain't out here winning like you used to. 0:34:51.920 --> 0:35:01.120 You know what John said, John put lebron or not bye. 0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:04.600 I mean, so so this, you know, messing up and 0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:06.560 John Elway just wasn't a play. 0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:09.600 John Elway was an icon in the Rocky Mountain regions 0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:12.200 and the owner was like, yeah, I'm right with him, 0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:12.600 you know. 0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:14.920 And so so I was like when I looked at Dan, 0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:16.920 like yeah, that probably wouldn't play. It's like when when 0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:19.680 Belichick got rid of Bernie Colesar and he lost the fans, 0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:22.600 you know, lose the and then and of course John 0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:24.879 Elway none you shy to let you know, I ain't 0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:26.120 like this. 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:27.840 This wasn't good. This wasn't good. 0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:30.239 So, but that's just an analogy to say that a 0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:32.360 different voice maybe in a situation like that with a 0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:34.880 team that's ultraed. You know, ubertalented that you may be 0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:37.000 able to get more out of them in a situation 0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:38.640 with a different, different voice. 0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:40.960 Yeah, I mean because I was younger, younger at the time. 0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:43.399 But when when Tony Dungee had his whole situation there 0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:45.640 in Tampa, did did you take him to was it one. 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.239 Or two NFC chance? They lost? 0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:50.319 They lost a very close game to the Saint Louis 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:53.439 Rams in ninety nine, had a really bad call against Berda. 0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:55.480 Man, it was like, oh, oh. 0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:56.719 Probably could have won that game. 0:35:56.840 --> 0:35:57.120 Man. 0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:01.879 But the and so what interesting about that is one 0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:07.400 year they were getting ready to hire Parcels and he 0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:11.040 renigged at the end. Tony came back and ended up 0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:14.399 turning it around and they started winning, and it got 0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:16.279 towards the end where it was like, hey, man, we 0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:20.880 can't get twenty points you know offensively, we got a defense, 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:22.360 and so they made the trade. 0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:23.520 They brought in John Gruden. 0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.600 Gruten ended up winning the Super Bowl, and then he 0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:28.920 started running the team and getting the personnel. 0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:30.040 And it did work out for that. 0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:34.040 I mean, Keishawan, Keishan Johnson gladly tell you know. 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:35.640 This wasn't it. 0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:38.919 But another great analogy, you know that to show where 0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.280 a team was under the previous leadership. 0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:42.440 They were successful. 0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:45.719 It's not like Tampa Bay by any stretch was a 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:49.719 bad team. That defense was crazy, locking teams down. But 0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:51.840 it just seemed like Chucky came in and he got 0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.920 that was just that he got it. 0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:58.480 That's all he need, That's all he needed. 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.279 The team was so talented that you would ask yourself like, 0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:05.560 how are they not winning it? How are they not 0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.440 getting there? And it was just a great disappointment each season. 0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:09.840 And here we are. 0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:11.320 And we saw what Chucky did with the Raiders. 0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:13.560 We saw what Chuck did with the Raiders. 0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.600 Gave all that controls gain control in Tampa Bay, let 0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.160 him start making decisions. And then yeah, he said talk 0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:20.719 to Key Shan. 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:24.680 Boy. He will gladly warrants that. 0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:27.919 There's a list of guys that will sit up here 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.320 and tell you their issues with him. And the quarterbacks 0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:33.000 were never developed under There's a whole lot about was 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:36.360 a Chucky Smith got a Super Bowl? Give your credit, 0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:38.040 like Barry switch, you got it done. You got We 0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:41.440 cannot take that away from you. But Tony also showed 0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:44.319 you when he went to Indianapolis that Okay, I am 0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:44.920 that coach. 0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.120 I can't go get it done. 0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:49.200 But it's very hard. I just want to keep emphasizing 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:53.040 it's very hard to find the right guy. And when 0:37:53.080 --> 0:37:55.520 you have this type of winning and type of success, 0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:58.560 it's not going to be easy to just Okay, find Mike. 0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:01.360 We're gonna go hire whoever and this young kid to 0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:02.040 do this or that. 0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:03.000 It's gonna be a challenge. 0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:05.040 All right, let's get our last break in here.

Got Barry Church here, former Cowboys Safety. 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:55.600 A new instructs Cowboys getting ready to take on the 0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:59.040 New Orleans Saints the opener at Jerry World. Both teams 0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:02.879 are undefeated teams, dominating in their first victories of the year. 0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:06.279 Carolina getting dragged by the Saints forty seven to ten. 0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:11.520 Drug hit up. 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:13.359 One of my friends works over there. They're like, yeah, 0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:16.200 it's gonna be long year, long year. And then the 0:41:16.280 --> 0:41:20.840 Cowboys took apart the Cleveland Browns thirty three to seventeen. 0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:24.360 One thing and I brought I talked about this summer 0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:28.680 report for Channel five. After the Browns got that field goal, 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:35.640 the next ten possessions six punts, two interceptions, and got 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:38.440 the ball over on downs twice. That was the next 0:41:38.800 --> 0:41:43.640 ten possessions. That is taking the woodshed to somebody. Man, Yeah, 0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:47.720 I mean that, I mean that's crazy, man. Next ten nothing, 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:49.520 nothing man. 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:51.520 That that was impressive. 0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:53.440 And then of course the Browns you start looking about 0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.759 third down two of eleven, eighteen point two percent. We 0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:58.880 were concerned about, you know, their ability to run the 0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:03.879 ball thirty five yards rushing this this, I mean, this 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:08.239 was one of those truly awful performances. And I understand 0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.560 they didn't have their tackles, and Michael Parsons was very 0:42:10.640 --> 0:42:13.560 kind afterwards talking about that and saying, you know, Deshaun 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:14.960 is still a tough guy to get down and they're 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:15.520 gonna be better. 0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:17.479 But bro, this, this, this. 0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:30.920 They have the same agent. You know, that's a little 0:42:31.280 --> 0:42:32.319 you know what teaching me. 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:36.160 Well, you know what, you're right, you know, but he 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:41.879 got his two thirty. Yeah, Watson's guaranteed to say whatever 0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:43.399 you want to about but yeah, you're right. 0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:45.279 But but you know the thing for me when you 0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.960 we rattle off those those stats men, going back to 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:49.840 what you were just talking about, the last time you 0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.600 saw the Dallas Cowboys, Jones was running all over them 0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.080 and and that's that was all that was in your 0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:56.279 mind headed into this game. 0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:58.839 We were talking about forward. We're like, they don't have. 0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:01.560 Yeah, sleep on him and a guy behind him and 0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:03.520 the guy behind him, because they're gonna find a way 0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:05.319 to have some success. You knew who was on the 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.600 injury report, You knew that Wills wasn't going to be 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:10.600 able to play, and none of that mattered because it 0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:13.200 just seems like any team can plug and player running 0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:16.080 back and can get downhill on the Cowboys in a hurry, 0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:17.200 this game. 0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:18.920 It was the complete opposite. 0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:24.400 Now, can't coach Zimber maintain that effort on defense? And 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.600 I think that obviously bringing in a guy that is 0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:29.680 known to neutralize the running game was beneficial to this team. 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:30.120 That's huge. 0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:32.000 And when you talk about Parsons, what he's able to do, 0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.399 that's the type of game. If he can do that consistently, 0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:37.000 then you start talking about, you know, defensive Player of 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:38.680 the Year awards. When a guy can go out there 0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:40.160 and not only if you know, get after the quarterback 0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:42.440 the way he did with nine pressures, but affect the 0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:45.000 run that passes in the air, that leads to interceptions. 0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:47.160 That's what you love to see when you're talking about 0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:49.480 a Parsons guy out there like that for the Defensive 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:51.600 Player of the year a war. But I mean another 0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:54.800 fact going towards McCarthy is, like you said, he stayed 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:56.799 within himself and he didn't put this team that risk. 0:43:56.920 --> 0:43:59.560 Look what the Browns did, Like you're known for being 0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.399 a physical called downhill team, they ran the ball believe 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.759 what was it twelve or sometimes towards. 0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:05.759 The end they started giving it a little bit. 0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:08.440 They got away from it, like the first second series 0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:10.080 of all right on the you design. 0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:12.200 They did end up in ninety three yards, but the 0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:14.359 competitive phase of the football game, each of the first 0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.000 three quarters man ended up with thirty five. 0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:19.279 Yeah, fourth coach, he just went away from it quick. 0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:22.600 And I think that when you have a defense that's 0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:25.480 making you abandon the running game, that was. It wasn't 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:28.040 because they wanted to, it was because they couldn't. And 0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:31.600 so like you, and I agree wholeheartedly with you on 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:32.800 what you said about the missile. 0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:34.799 If he can continue this. 0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:37.759 Effort for the next sixteen games, and he was everywhere, 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:40.719 well yes, but newly. 0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:42.480 But okay, here's here's the butt. 0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:45.319 They were missing their two tackles, and even he said 0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:47.440 it after the game, and what are you supposed to 0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.400 go do against some backups and that trick, that's what 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:52.600 it did. Gonna be a little different, gonna be a 0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:54.960 little bit different going on. And he's he said that, 0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:56.799 that's what he said. And then he said, man, I 0:44:56.800 --> 0:44:59.080 probably missed three sacks. But he also talked about, hey, 0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:01.400 I've been those three sacks. Because Deshaun is a tough guy. 0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:01.759 To get down. 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:04.560 He was he was good after the game, but but 0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:07.799 he was a he was what you're supposed to be 0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:09.120 you got a mismatch. 0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:11.840 You know you're going You're going against you know Akron, 0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:18.040 You're supposed to go there Cross, Hey, what you got against? 0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:26.400 I was right down the road saying they got no 0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:29.160 football team.
